Description

[0002] Currently, refrigerator compressor mounting plates (hereinafter referred to as mounting plates) are generally made of metal sheets. They are formed through a complex process of punching and multiple stamping steps, and due to the high density of metal, a large amount of material is used. Due to the inherent properties of metal, it is susceptible to permanent deformation when subjected to impacts exceeding its yield strength, causing appearance or functional problems. This phenomenon is particularly prone to occur during refrigerator loading and unloading. In the refrigerator logistics process, deformation frequently occurs due to road bumps or forceful loading and unloading.
