Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a refrigerator with a wiring module. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of the intelligence and multi-function of the refrigerator, some function modules are usually arranged on the door body of the refrigerator, such as ice water module, touch module, etc. These function modules usually need to be connected with the control module in the cabinet through wiring to realize the power supply of each function module on the door body.

[0003] Chinese patent application No. CN108759268A discloses a hinge box device for a household appliance and a refrigerator. A through hole is arranged on the hinge shaft of the upper hinge and penetrates in the up-down direction. The wiring led out of the cabinet passes through the through hole and extends to the door body to be connected with each function module on the door body. However, due to the size limitation of the hinge shaft, the size of the through hole cannot be too large, which limits the thickness and number of the wiring. Especially for the refrigerator with ice-making function, the relatively thick water pipe also needs to be connected with the ice water module on the door body through the through hole. At this time, only the upper hinge cannot realize the connection of all wirings.

[0004] Chinese patent application No. CN110398121A discloses a door body wire passing device for a refrigerator. The wire passing device is a linear box. The cabinet is provided with a movable slot for inserting the wire passing device. During the rotation of the door body, the wire passing device moves along the movable slot. However, for the case that the upper surface of the door body is not flush with the cabinet, the linear wire passing device cannot be installed between the cabinet and the door body, i.e. it cannot realize the leading of the wiring on the cabinet to the door body.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new refrigerator with a wiring module to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0032] Figure 15 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 15 ​​​​​​​​​The preferred embodiments are shown in the drawings. It should be noted that these embodiments are not intended to limit the present application, and equivalent changes or substitutions in function, method, or structure made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments are within the scope of the present application.

[0034] It should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly, for example, the connection can be direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium, can be fixed connection or movable connection or detachable connection or integral connection, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above-mentioned term in the present application according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-4 As shown in the first embodiment of the present application, the refrigerator 100 includes a cabinet 1, a hinge plate 2 fixed to the cabinet 1, a door body 3 rotatably connected to the hinge plate 2, a wire 4 leading out from the cabinet 1 and extending to the door body 3, a wire module 6 guiding at least part of the wire 4 to the door body 3, and the wire 4 being connected to a functional module on the door body 3 to supply power to the functional module on the door body 3. Of course, it is not limited to this, the wire 4 can also be a condensation-proof pipe or a water pipe for supplying water to an ice-water module on the door body 3.

[0036] Among them Figure 3 In order to facilitate the viewing of the take-up structure 5, the wire module 6 is removed.

[0037] In the present application, the wire module 6 is additionally provided, which reduces the restriction of the hinge wire in the prior art, can flexibly adjust the extension trajectory of the wire, and avoids wire jamming.

[0038] Specifically, the cabinet 1 has a first mating surface cooperating with the wire module 6, and the door body 3 has a second mating surface cooperating with the wire module 6. The first mating surface and the second mating surface have a height difference.

[0039] Further, the wire module 6 includes a vertical section 68 extending in the up-down direction, and the height of the vertical section 68 is the same as the height difference, so that one end of the opposite ends of the wire module 6 can cooperate with the first mating surface, and the other end can cooperate with the second mating surface. That is, the wire module 6 in the present application can realize the cooperation between the cabinet 1 and the door body 3 with the height difference. Of course, it can be understood that, for example, Figures 6-15 As shown in the first mating surface and the second mating surface, the wire module 6 can not include the vertical section 68 when the height is the same.

[0040] Further, the wire module 6 further comprises a horizontal section 69 connected with the vertical section 68 and extending in horizontal direction, the horizontal section 69 being in communication with the vertical section 68. Thus, the wire 4 drawn out of the cabinet 1 can extend to the door body 3 through the vertical section 68 and the horizontal section 69.

[0041] In Figure 4 In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the upper end and the lower end of the vertical section 68 are both provided with the horizontal section 69, the horizontal section 69 at the upper end of the vertical section 68 being connected to the cabinet 1, so as to facilitate the connection between the wire module 6 and the cabinet 1. The horizontal section 69 at the lower end of the vertical section 68 extends to the position where the take-up structure 5 is located, so as to reduce the interference between the wire module 6 and the shielding cover 8.

[0042] Further, in the embodiment, the wire 4 extends out of the wire module 6 in horizontal direction. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, in other embodiments, the wire 4 in the wire module 6 can also extend out of the wire module 6 in vertical direction.

[0043] Specifically, the wire 4 has a drawn-out end drawn out of the cabinet 1, and a butt joint end extending to the door body 3 and butt jointing with each functional module on the door body 3, the cabinet 1 being provided with a drawn-out portion for fixing the drawn-out end, and the door body 3 being provided with a butt joint portion for fixing the butt joint end. It can be understood that the distance between the drawn-out portion and the butt joint portion changes in the process of opening and closing the door body 3, and the length of the wire 4 between the drawn-out end and the butt joint end is not less than the maximum distance between the drawn-out portion and the butt joint portion in the process of opening and closing the door body 3. In the process of opening and closing the door body 3, the distance between the drawn-out portion and the butt joint portion decreases, and the wire 4 has a wire length allowance.

[0044] Further, the refrigerator 100 further comprises a take-up structure 5, the wire 4 drawn out through the drawn-out portion extending to the butt joint portion through the take-up structure 5, the take-up structure 5 being used to accommodate the wire length allowance generated in the process of opening and closing the door body 3, so as to reduce the bending of the wire 4, increase the service life of the wire 4, and enhance the user experience.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in the embodiment, the take-up structure 5 comprises an elastic member 51 arranged on the wire path of the wire 4, and the free end of the elastic member 51 is provided with a through hole 511 through which the wire 4 passes. The excess wire generated in the process of the switch door 3 is accommodated at the position of the elastic member 51 under the pulling of the elastic member 51. Under the pulling of the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 51, the wire 4 is always in a straightened state, which can reduce the bending of the wire 4, increase the service life of the wire 4, and enhance the user experience.

[0046] Specifically, when the distance between the lead-out portion and the docking portion is the largest, the elastic member 51 is in a stretched state. In the process of the switch door 3, the distance between the lead-out portion and the docking portion becomes smaller, and when the excess wire is generated, the elastic member 51 pulls the wire 4 away from the wire path under the pulling of the elastic restoring force, which is equivalent to lengthening the wire path, so that the wire 4 is always in a straightened state, which can reduce the bending of the wire 4, increase the service life of the wire 4, and enhance the user experience.

[0047] Further, the take-up structure 5 further comprises a mounting cavity 52 for mounting the elastic member 51, and the opening of the mounting cavity 52 faces the wire path of the wire 4. When the elastic member 51 is in a natural state, the elastic member 51 is located in the mounting cavity 52, i.e., the free end of the elastic member 51 is located in the mounting cavity 52. Thus, in the process of the switch door 3, when the distance between the lead-out portion and the docking portion becomes smaller and the excess wire is generated, the elastic member 51 in a stretched state pulls the wire 4 and accommodates the excess wire in the mounting cavity 52.

[0048] Further, the elastic member 51 and the mounting cavity 52 have a guide structure 53 for guiding the deformation direction of the elastic member 51 and enhancing the stability of the stretching and contraction of the elastic member 51.

[0049] Specifically, the guide structure 53 comprises a guide column 531 arranged at the free end of the elastic member 51 and a guide groove 532 in communication with the mounting cavity 52, and the guide column 531 is limited in the guide groove 532. In the process of stretching and contracting the elastic member 51, the guide column 531 moves along the guide groove 532, which enhances the stability of the stretching and contraction of the elastic member 51.

[0050] In an embodiment, the elastic member 51 includes a columnar spring 512 protruding towards the wire 4, a fixing frame 513 fixed to one end of the columnar spring 512 towards the wire 4, the through hole 511 is arranged on the fixing frame 513, and the fixing frame 513 is located at the free end. The end of the columnar spring 512 away from the fixing frame 513 is fixed in the mounting cavity 52, thereby enhancing the stability of the limiting between the elastic member 51 and the wire 4. Of course, this is not limited thereto.

[0051] Specifically, the guide column 531 is arranged on the fixing frame 513, thereby simplifying the structure of the elastic member 51. Of course, this is not limited thereto.

[0052] In the embodiment, the wire collecting structure 5 is arranged on the top of the door body 3. Of course, this is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the wire collecting structure 5 can also be arranged on the top of the cabinet 1.

[0053] Specifically, the door body 3 includes a door panel and an upper decorative strip 31 located on the top of the door panel. The mounting cavity 52 is concavely arranged downward from the top of the upper decorative strip 31, and the elastic member 51 is fixed in the mounting cavity 52. The wire 4 drawn out of the cabinet 1 extends to the docking portion on the door body 3 through the through hole 511 of the elastic member 51. In the process of opening and closing the door body 3, the excess length of the wire is accommodated in the mounting cavity 52 under the pulling of the elastic member 51. Under the pulling of the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 51, the wire 4 is always in a straightened state, which can reduce the bending of the wire 4, increase the service life of the wire 4, and enhance the user experience.

[0054] Further, the upper decorative strip 31 is concavely arranged downward with a receiving cavity 33, and the wire collecting structure 5 is arranged on the receiving cavity 33, thereby reducing the influence of the wire 4 on the appearance of the refrigerator 100.

[0055] Further, the wire module 6 is accommodated in the receiving cavity 33. In the process of opening and closing the door body 3, the wire module 6 is located in the receiving cavity 33, that is, the wire module 6 is not exposed in the process of opening and closing the door body 3, thereby achieving the effect of hiding the wire module 6, and avoiding the influence of the wire module 6 on the appearance of the refrigerator 100 and the normal use of the refrigerator 100.

[0056] Further, the refrigerator 100 further includes a shielding cover 8 matched with the receiving cavity 33. The shielding cover 8 is fixed on the door body 3 by screws or other fasteners and shields the receiving cavity 33. Meanwhile, the shielding cover 8 can limit the upward movement of the wire module 6, improve the stability of the movement of the wire module 6, and improve the overall appearance effect of the refrigerator 100.

[0057] In the embodiment, the take-up structure 5 is arranged on the door body 3 and located between the wire outlet end of the wire routing module 6 and the butt joint portion on the door body 3. The wire 4 led out from the wire routing module 6 extends to the butt joint portion through the take-up structure 5. In the process of opening and closing the door body 3, the excess length of the wire is accommodated in the mounting cavity 52 under the action of the elastic member 51, so that the wire 4 is always in a straightened state, the bending of the wire 4 is reduced, the service life of the wire 4 is increased, and the user experience is enhanced.

[0058] Please refer to Fig. 2 Figures 6-15 In the second embodiment of the present application, as shown in Fig. 2, the difference between the first embodiment and the second embodiment is that the arrangement position of the take-up structure 5 is different. The take-up structure 5 in the second embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment, and thus will not be described here.

[0059] Further, please refer to Fig. 3 Figures 11-14 As shown in Fig. 3, the refrigerator 100 further comprises a fixing member 62 fixed to the cabinet 1 and protruding towards the door body 3, the fixing member 62 is arranged side by side with the hinge plate 2, the pivot end 612 is rotationally connected to the front end of the fixing member 62, and the at least part of the wire 4 extends to the door body 3 through the fixing member 62 and the wire box 61, thereby indirectly rotationally connecting the wire box 61 and the cabinet 1. Of course, this is not limiting, and in other embodiments, the pivot end 612 of the wire box 61 can be directly rotationally connected to the cabinet 1, and the movable end 611 is movably connected to the door body 3, that is, the pivot end 612 is located in the upper region of the cabinet 1, and the pivot end 612 is rotationally connected to the cabinet 1.

[0060] In the embodiment, the take-up structure 5 is arranged on the fixing member 62. Of course, this is not limiting, and the take-up structure 5 can also be arranged on the wire box 61.

[0061] Specifically, the fixing member 62 has a protruding portion 621 protruding outward, and the take-up structure 5 is arranged at the protruding portion 621.

[0062] Specifically, the fixing member 62 has a wire slot 622 for the wire to pass through, and the mounting cavity 52 is recessed away from the wire slot 622 from the side of the protruding portion 621 towards the wire slot 622, so as to communicate the wire slot 622 and the mounting cavity 52.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, the protruding portion 621 is located on the side of the wire slot 622 away from the hinge plate 2, that is, the mounting cavity 52 is located on the side of the wire slot 622 away from the hinge plate 2. Of course, this is not limiting.

[0064] Specifically, the fixing member 62 is a plastic member or a nylon member, and the wiring groove 622 and the protruding portion 621 can be directly formed in a molding process to form the mounting cavity 52, facilitating the arrangement of the take-up structure 5 and reducing the cost. In addition, the fixing member 62 has good toughness and wear resistance, and can reduce the noise during relative rotation with the wiring box 61. Of course, this is not limiting, and in other embodiments, the fixing member 62 and the hinge plate 2 can be integrally arranged, that is, the fixing member 62 is part of the hinge plate 2, and the wiring box 61 is rotatably connected to the hinge plate 2 at a position corresponding to the upper region of the door body 3.

[0065] Further, please refer to Figures 11-12 As shown, the fixing member 62 and the hinge plate 2 are provided with a limiting structure 63. It is known that the hinge plate 2 is generally made of metal with good rigidity and good load-bearing capacity and is not easy to deform. The fixing member 62 is limited on the hinge plate 2 by the limiting structure 63, which can limit the fixing member 62 from shaking in the up-down direction through the hinge plate 2, thereby preventing the wiring box 61 from being dislocated in the up-down direction and enhancing the stability of the cooperation between the wiring box 61 and the door body 3.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, the limiting structure 63 includes at least one upper abutting piece 631 protruding from the fixing member 62 toward the hinge plate 2, and a lower abutting wall 632 protruding from the lower side of the fixing member 62 toward the hinge plate 2. The upper abutting piece 631 is located on the upper side of the lower abutting wall 632 and is arranged in a spaced manner with the lower abutting wall 632. The lower abutting wall 632, the upper abutting piece 631, and the side of the fixing member 62 toward the hinge plate 2 collectively form an abutting groove. After the hinge plate 2 is clamped in the abutting groove, the upper surface of the hinge plate 2 abuts on the upper abutting piece 631, and the lower surface of the hinge plate 2 abuts on the lower abutting wall 632 to limit the fixing member 62 from shaking in the up-down direction. Of course, this is not limiting, and in other embodiments, the limiting structure 63 can also be arranged on the side of the hinge plate 2 toward the fixing member 62.

[0067] Specifically, the limiting structure 63 includes at least two upper abutting pieces 631, which are arranged in a spaced manner in the front-rear direction to limit the fixing member 62 respectively, thereby improving the stability of the wiring box 61. Of course, this is not limiting.

[0068] Further, the refrigerator 100 further comprises a hinge box 7 fixed on the cabinet 1, and the fixing member 62 is fixed on the hinge box 7, so that the fixing member 62 is fixedly connected with the cabinet 1 through the hinge box 7 fixed on the cabinet 1, thereby reducing the connecting parts on the cabinet 1 and simplifying the assembly of the refrigerator 100.

[0069] Further, after the fixing member 62 is fixed on the hinge box 7, the hinge box 7 completely covers the fixing member 62 and the hinge plate 2, thereby enhancing the appearance effect of the refrigerator 100.

[0070] Specifically, the hinge box 7 comprises a middle hinge box 71 and a first hinge box 72 located at the end of the middle hinge box 71, and the fixing member 62 is fixed on the middle hinge box 71. After the fixing member 62 and the hinge box 7 are assembled, the first hinge box 72 covers the hinge plate 2 and part of the fixing member 62, and the middle hinge box 71 covers the other part of the fixing member 62.

[0071] Further, the middle hinge box 71 has a receiving part 711 protruding towards the door body 3 and used for receiving the fixing member 62, and the shape of the receiving part 711 is matched with the shape of the fixing member 62.

[0072] Specifically, the receiving part 711 comprises an upper wall 7111 covering the upper surface of the fixing member 62, a supporting wall 7112 supporting the lower surface of the fixing member 62, and a connecting wall 7113 connecting one side of the upper wall 7111 and the supporting wall 7112. After the fixing member 62 is fixed on the hinge box 7, the part of the fixing member 62 protruding towards the door body 3 is received in the receiving part 711, and the fixing member 62 is supported on the supporting wall 7112.

[0073] In one embodiment, the supporting wall 7112 protrudes towards the hinge plate 2 to form the above-mentioned lower abutting wall 632, thereby simplifying the structure of the fixing member 62. Of course, the application is not limited thereto.

[0074] Further, one of the hinge plate 2 and the door body 3 is provided with a hinge shaft 21, and the other is provided with a shaft sleeve (not numbered) matched with the hinge shaft 21, so that the door body 3 is rotatably connected with the hinge plate 2.

[0075] Further, the hinge shaft 21 has a through hole arranged along the axial direction thereof, which is used to guide at least part of the wires 4 of the cabinet 1 to the door body 3, that is, part of the wires 4 drawn out of the cabinet 1 in the present application extends to the door body 3 through the hinge plate 2, and the other part extends to the door body 3 through the wire module 6, which reduces the limitation of the existing hinge wire, can flexibly adjust the extension track of each wire 4, and avoids wire jamming.

[0076] Further, the fixing member 62 is provided with at least one buckle 623 for fixing the wire on one side of the hinge plate 2, and the wire 4 passing through the through hole needs to be fixed and arranged through the buckle 623 first, and then pass through the through hole, so as to avoid the disorder of the wire 4 drawn out of the cabinet 1.

[0077] In a specific embodiment, the buckle 623 is an L-shaped buckle 623. Of course, it is not limited to this.

[0078] Further, please refer to Figure 7 As shown, the wire module 6 includes a wire box 61 located between the cabinet 1 and the door body 3. It can be understood that the wire module 6 described above includes the vertical section 68 and / or the horizontal section 69, that is, the wire box 61 includes the vertical section 68 and / or the horizontal section 69.

[0079] The wire box 61 has oppositely arranged movable end 611 and pivot end 612, one of the movable end 611 and the pivot end 612 cooperates with the cabinet 1, and the other cooperates with the door body 3. With the opening and closing action of the door body 3, the movable end 611 can be moved, and the pivot end 612 can be rotated. The wire box 61 does not affect the opening and closing of the door body 3, and at the same time, the wire in the wire box 61 can move freely with the opening and closing of the door body 3. The wire box 61 can guide the wire 4 in it, so that the wire 4 moves regularly with the wire box 61 during the opening and closing of the door, avoiding the winding or bending and abrasion of the wire 4, and improving the service life of the wire 4.

[0080] In a specific embodiment, the pivot end 612 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 1, and at this time, the movable end 611 is movably connected to the door body 3. Of course, it is not limited to this, and in other embodiments, the pivot end 612 can also be rotatably connected to the door body 3, and at this time, the movable end 611 is movably connected to the cabinet 1.

[0081] Further, in combination with Figure 9As shown, the movable end 611 is provided with a limiting column 613 on one of the door bodies 3 and a limiting groove 32 matched with the limiting column 613 on the other one, that is, the movable connection between the movable end 611 and the door body 3 is realized by the limiting column 613 and the limiting groove 32 matched with each other, and the structure is relatively simple.

[0082] During the opening and closing of the door body 3, the limiting groove 32 guides the movement of the limiting column 613, and during the movement of the limiting column 613 along the limiting groove 32, the wire casing 61 and the wire in the wire casing 61 are regularly moved, avoiding the wire from being wound or bent and abraded, improving the service life of the wire, and at the same time, during the opening and closing of the door body 3, the wire casing 61 can also avoid collision and friction with other parts of the door body 3, reducing noise and improving service life.

[0083] In a specific embodiment, the limiting column 613 is arranged on the movable end 611, and the limiting groove 32 is arranged on the door body 3 correspondingly. It can be understood that the space on the door body 3 is larger and more flexible, which can simplify the arrangement of the limiting groove 32 and miniaturize the wire casing 61. Of course, this is not limited, and it can be understood that in other embodiments, the limiting column 613 can also be arranged on the door body 3, and the limiting groove 32 is arranged on the wire casing 61 correspondingly.

[0084] Further, in the embodiment in which the limiting groove 32 is arranged on the door body 3, the limiting groove 32 extends from front to back and is inclined to the hinge shaft 21, so that the opening and closing of the door body 3 is not limited by the wire casing 61, and the door body 3 can be freely opened and closed.

[0085] Of course, the extending direction of the limiting groove 32 is not limited to the above, and can be adjusted adaptively according to the movement track of the limiting column 613 during the opening and closing of the door body 3.

[0086] Specifically, the limiting groove 32 is arranged on the bottom surface of the accommodating cavity 33 of the upper trim strip 31, and the slot of the limiting groove 32 is upwardly open, and the limiting column 613 protrudes downward from the movable end 611, simplifying the arrangement of the limiting groove 32 and the limiting column 613. Of course, this is not limited, and it can be understood that as long as the direction of the slot of the limiting groove 32 and the protruding direction of the limiting column 613 are matched, and the limiting column 613 can also be arranged in a bent shape, as long as the end of the limiting column 613 can protrude into the limiting groove 32 from the slot.

[0087] In the embodiment in which the wires 4 in the wire module 6 are arranged to pass out of the wire module 6 in the vertical direction, a through hole can be arranged on the limiting column 613 and pass through the limiting column 613 in the radial direction, and the wires 4 can pass out of the wire module through the through hole. At this time, a long slot is arranged through the slot wall of the limiting groove 32 corresponding to the end of the limiting column 613, and the long slot is used for the wires 4 to pass out to the door body 3.

[0088] Specifically, the width of the long slot is smaller than the outer diameter of the limiting column, so that the wires 4 can pass out through the long slot, and the limiting column 613 cannot pass out through the long slot.

[0089] Further, the pivot end 612 has a rotating shaft 6121, and the rotating shaft 6121 is used for the pivot connection between the pivot end 612 and the fixing member 62, that is, the wire module 6 is pivotally connected to the cabinet 1 through the rotating shaft 6121.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 15 FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the present application, and the third embodiment of the present application is different from the first embodiment in that the take-up structure 5' is different.

[0091] Specifically, the pivot end 612 further has an annular accommodation cavity 6122 located on the circumferential side of the rotating shaft 6121, and the rotating shaft 6121 and the accommodation cavity 6122 form the take-up structure 5' in the embodiment, that is, the take-up structure 5' is arranged on the wire box 61, and the wires 4 are wound on the rotating shaft 6121 and then extended to the door body 3.

[0092] When the distance between the switch door body 3 and the lead-out part and the docking part is the largest, the wires 4 wound on the rotating shaft 6121 are stacked and abut on the wires 4 wound on the rotating shaft 6121 or are spirally wound on the rotating shaft 6121. The wire allowance generated in the process of opening and closing the door body 3 is diffused around the rotating shaft 6121 and accommodated in the accommodation cavity 6122, which can reduce the bending of the wires 4, increase the service life of the wires 4, and enhance the user experience.

[0093] The third embodiment of the present application is the same as the first embodiment except for the above difference, and thus, the description is not repeated here.

[0094] In summary, the wire module 6 in the refrigerator 100 in the present application can be applied to the cabinet 1 and the door body 3 with height difference through the arrangement of the vertical section 68, so as to enhance the versatility of the wire module 6.

[0095] It should be understood that although the present specification describes only a single embodiment, the disclosure of features or combinations of features in this specification is not to be construed as an exclusion of the underlying or equivalent aspects of the embodiments. It is therefore envisaged that each embodiment delivering the same technical result can be considered as the equivalent thereof.

[0096] The above detailed description merely describes a specific manner of implementing the application, which is not intended to limit the protection scope of the application. Any equivalent implementation or change made without departing from the spirit of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the application.
