Abstract
Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of refrigeration, and in particular to a refrigerator with a wire-passing module. Background Art
[0002] Nowadays, domestic and foreign markets have put forward increasingly higher demands on the ease of operation and versatility of refrigerator products. More and more refrigerators are equipped with touch screens or other electrical components on the doors to improve the convenience of the refrigerators and realize corresponding functions.
[0003] Existing door bodies that are pivotally connected to the box body are mostly formed by setting a through hole on the hinge shaft, and the cables / water pipes in the box body extend to the door body through the through hole to realize power transmission on the door body; however, on the one hand, due to the size of the hinge shaft, the size of the through hole cannot be very large, resulting in the thickness of the wiring and the number of wiring being limited. In particular, for refrigerators with door-made ice-making functions, thicker water pipes also need to be connected to the ice and water module on the door body through the through hole. At this time, it is impossible to connect all the wiring through the upper hinge alone; on the other hand, even if the water pipes and cables are forced to pass through the through hole at the same time to realize the connection of the wiring, the friction between the pipelines due to the small space may increase the wear rate of the pipelines, thereby reducing the service life of the cables and water pipes, etc., and affecting user use.
[0004] To address the above problem, the industry has disclosed that a wire-passing module can be provided between the box body and the door body for wiring to pass through. However, the existing wire-passing module generally has one end protruding from the door body toward the box body into the inside of the door body, which places high requirements on the installation height of the door body.

[0030] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1-Figure 5 The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the figures. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not limitations of the present invention, and any equivalent transformations or substitutions in functions, methods, or structures made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] The present invention provides a refrigerator 100, comprising a cabinet 1, a hinge plate 2 fixed on the cabinet 1, a door body 3 rotatably connected to the cabinet 1 through the hinge plate 2, and a wire passing module 4 for guiding the wiring in the cabinet 1 to the door body 3. The wire passing module 4 has a wire input end 41 and a wire output end 42 that are relatively arranged. The wiring in the cabinet 1 extends to the door body 3 through the wire input end 41 and the wire output end 42 in sequence, and is connected to the functional module on the door body 3, thereby reducing the limitations of the hinge wiring in the prior art, and being able to flexibly adjust the extension trajectory of the wiring to avoid wire jamming.
[0032] Specifically, the wiring includes but is not limited to cables, water pipes, condensation pipes, etc.
[0033] Furthermore, the line input terminal 41 and the line output terminal 42 are both located in the upper area of the door body 3 or the box body 1; or the line input terminal 41 is located in the upper area of the box body 1, and the line output terminal 42 is located in the upper area of the door body 3, that is, the line passing module 4 is located in the upper area of the door body 3 and / or the box body 1, which facilitates the assembly between the line passing module 4 and the door body 3 / box body 1, has stronger versatility, and does not occupy the insulation space in the door body 3 or the box body 1, and does not affect the insulation effect of the door body 3 or the box body 1.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the line input terminal 41 and the line output terminal 42 are both located in the upper area of the door body 3, that is, it is sufficient to reserve installation space for the line passing module 4 in the upper area of the door body 3, so as to facilitate the assembly between the line passing module 4 and the door body 3, and in the process of opening and closing the door body 3, the line passing module 4 is always located in the upper area of the door body 3 and will not be exposed, thereby achieving the effect of concealed setting of the line passing module 4, and avoiding the line passing module 4 affecting the appearance of the refrigerator 100 and the normal use of the refrigerator 100.
[0035] Correspondingly, in the embodiment where the line input terminal 41 and the line output terminal 42 are both located in the upper area of the box body 1, it is sufficient to reserve installation space for the line passing module 4 in the upper area of the box body 1, so as to facilitate the assembly between the line passing module 4 and the box body 1, and in the process of opening and closing the door body 3, the line passing module 4 is always located in the upper area of the box body 1 and will not be exposed, thereby achieving the effect of concealing the line passing module 4, and avoiding the line passing module 4 affecting the appearance of the refrigerator 100 and the normal use of the refrigerator 100.
[0036] Below, taking the case where both the line-in terminal 41 and the line-out terminal 42 are located in the upper region of the door body 3 as an example, the specific structure of the line-passing module 4 and the connection structure / method between the line-passing module 4 and the box body 1 and the door body 3 are described in detail. It can be understood that the structure of the line-passing module 4 in the embodiment where both the line-in terminal 41 and the line-out terminal 42 are located in the upper region of the box body 1 and the connection structure / method between the line-passing module 4 and the door body 3 / box body 1 can follow the structure of the corresponding line-passing module 4 in the embodiment where both the line-in terminal 41 and the line-out terminal 42 are located in the upper region of the box body 1 and the connection structure / method between the line-passing module 4 and the box body 1 and the door body 3 in the present invention. No further details will be given here.
[0037] Furthermore, the top wall of the door body 3 is recessed downward to provide a receiving cavity 31 for accommodating the wire-passing module 4. During the process of opening and closing the door body 3, the wire-passing module 4 is located in the receiving cavity 31, which can protect the wire-passing module 4 and achieve the effect of concealing the wire-passing module 4.
[0038] Furthermore, the refrigerator 100 also includes a shielding cover 5 that cooperates with the receiving cavity 31. The shielding cover 5 is fixed to the door body 3 by fasteners such as screws and shields the receiving cavity 31, thereby improving the overall appearance of the refrigerator 100. At the same time, the shielding cover 5 can limit the upward movement of the passing line module 4, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the passing line module 4.
[0039] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5-Figure 8As shown, the refrigerator 100 also includes an adapter 6 fixed to the cabinet 1 and protruding to the upper area of the door body 3. The line inlet 41 is connected to the position of the adapter 6 corresponding to the upper area of the door body 3. At least part of the wiring is sequentially extended to the door body 3 through the adapter 6 and the wire module 4, thereby realizing an indirect connection between the wire module 4 and the cabinet 1, and enabling the wire module 4 to be always accommodated in the accommodating cavity 31, thereby achieving the effect of concealing the wire module 4. Of course, this is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the line inlet 41 can also be connected to the position of the hinge plate 2 corresponding to the upper area of the door body 3.
[0040] Furthermore, the adapter 6 is separated from the hinge plate 2 and arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. A limiting structure 7 is provided between the adapter 6 and the hinge plate 2 to limit the adapter 6 on the hinge plate 2. It can be seen that the hinge plate 2 is generally made of metal with relatively high rigidity and good load-bearing capacity. The adapter 6 is limitedly connected to the hinge plate 2 through the limiting structure 7, and the adapter 6 can be limited by the hinge plate 2 to limit the adapter 6 from shaking in the up and down directions. Therefore, the wiring and passing module 4 can be prevented from being dislocated in the up and down directions, thereby enhancing the stability of the passing module 4.
[0041] In one specific embodiment, the limiting structure 7 includes a first limiting wall 71 and a second limiting wall 72 that protrude from an end of the adapter 6 near the hinge plate 2 toward the hinge plate 2. The first limiting wall 71 and the second limiting wall 72 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the hinge plate 2 is engaged between the first limiting wall 71 and the second limiting wall 72. In an embodiment in which the first limiting wall 71 is located above the second limiting wall 72, the upper surface of the hinge plate 2 abuts against the first limiting wall 71, and the lower surface of the hinge plate 2 abuts against the second limiting wall 72 to limit the vertical movement of the adapter 6. Of course, this is not limiting. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the limiting structure can also be provided on the hinge plate 2 to limit the adapter 6.
[0042] Specifically, the first limiting wall 71 includes at least two sub-limiting walls spaced apart along the front-to-back direction to respectively limit the adapter 6 and improve the stability of the wire-passing module 4. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0043] Furthermore, the adapter 6 is a plastic or nylon component, which can reduce costs. At the same time, the adapter 6 has good toughness and wear resistance, which can reduce noise when rotating relative to the wire-passing module 4.
[0044] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 21 is provided on one of the hinge plate 2 and the door body 3, and a sleeve (not numbered) matching the rotating shaft 21 is provided on the other, so that the door body 3 can rotate around the rotating shaft 21 to realize the opening and closing of the door body 3.
[0045] The rotating shaft 21 has a through hole (unnumbered) extending along its axial direction, and the through hole is used to guide the wiring of the box body 1 to the door body 3. That is, the wiring part led out from the box body 1 in the present invention extends to the door body 3 through the hinge plate 2, and the other part extends to the door body 3 through the wire passing module 4, which reduces the limitations of the existing hinge wiring and can flexibly adjust the extension trajectory of each wiring to avoid wire jamming.
[0046] Furthermore, the adapter 6 is provided with at least one fixing part 61 for fixing the wiring on the side facing the hinge plate 2. The wiring that needs to pass through the through hole is first fixed and arranged by the fixing part 61 and then passes through the through hole to avoid the wiring led out from the box 1 from being entangled with each other.
[0047] In one embodiment, the fixing member 61 is an L-shaped buckle, but the invention is not limited thereto.
[0048] For further information, see Figure 10 As shown, the adapter 6 has a wiring groove 62 for the wiring to pass through, which has a certain guiding and supporting effect on the wiring passing through the adapter 6. Of course, this is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the adapter 6 can also be a plate-shaped structure similar to the hinge plate 2. The wiring passes through and is supported on the upper surface of the adapter 6 and then extends through the wiring module 4 to the door body 3.
[0049] Specifically, the adapter 6 includes a first wall 63, a second wall 64, and a connecting wall 65 connecting the first wall 63 and the second wall 64 on the side close to the hinge plate 2, which are opposite and spaced apart in the up and down directions. The first wall 63, the second wall 64 and the connecting wall 65 are arranged to form a wiring groove 62 with three sides open to facilitate the wiring of the wiring.
[0050] For further information, see Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator 100 also includes a hinge box 8 fixed on the box body 1, and the adapter 6 is fixed on the hinge box 8. The fixed connection between the adapter 6 and the box body 1 is achieved by fixing the hinge box 8 on the box body 1, which can reduce the connection part on the box body 1 and simplify the assembly of the refrigerator 100.
[0051] Furthermore, after the hinge box 8 and the adapter 6 are assembled, the hinge box 8 completely covers the adapter 6 and the hinge plate 2, thereby enhancing the appearance of the refrigerator 100.
[0052] Specifically, the hinge box 8 includes a middle hinge box 81 and a first hinge box 82 located at the end of the middle hinge box 81. The adapter 6 is fixed on the middle hinge box 81. The first hinge box 82 is used to cover the hinge plate 2 and part of the adapter 6. The middle hinge box 81 is used to cover other parts of the structure of the adapter 6.
[0053] Furthermore, the middle hinge box 81 has a receiving portion 811 protruding toward the door body 3 and used to receive the adapter 6 , and the shape of the receiving portion 811 is adapted to the shape of the adapter 6 .
[0054] For details, please refer to Figure 8 As shown, the accommodating portion 811 includes an upper wall 8111 that covers the first wall 63 of the adapter 6, a lower wall 8112 located on the lower side of the second wall 64 of the adapter 6, and a third wall 8113 that connects the upper wall 8111 and the lower wall 8112 on the side opposite to the connecting wall 65. After the adapter 6 is fixed to the accommodating portion 811, the accommodating portion 811 and the adapter 6 are jointly arranged to form the circumferentially closed wiring groove 62 to prevent the wiring in the wiring groove 62 from being exposed to the outside.
[0055] Before assembling the adapter 6 and the middle hinge box 81, first install the wiring into the adapter 6 through the side of the adapter 6 opposite to the connecting wall 65, and then fasten the adapter 6 and the middle hinge box 81 with fasteners to form the wiring groove 62 for guiding and limiting the wiring, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the wiring.
[0056] Specifically, the lower wall 8112 in the middle hinge box 81 protrudes toward the hinge plate 2 to form the above-mentioned second limiting wall 72, which can simplify the arrangement of the limiting structure 7.
[0057] Furthermore, at least one of the input terminal 41 and the output terminal 42 is a movable terminal; a limiting column 421 is provided on one of the movable terminal and the box body 1 or the door body 3 that cooperates with the movable terminal, and a limiting groove 32 that cooperates with the limiting column 421 is provided on the other terminal. In the process of opening and closing the door body 3, the limiting column 421 moves along the limiting groove 32, driving the wire passing module 4 and the wiring located in the wire passing module 4 to move regularly, avoiding entanglement or bending wear of the wiring, etc., thereby improving the service life of the wiring. At the same time, in the process of opening and closing the door body 3, collision and friction between the wire passing module 4 and other components in the door body 3 / box body 1 can also be avoided, thereby reducing noise and improving service life.
[0058] At Figure 1-Figure 4In the specific embodiment shown, the outlet terminal 42 is a movable terminal movably connected to the door body 3. During the process of opening and closing the door body 3, the limiting column 421 moves along the limiting groove 32, driving the wire-passing module 4 and the wiring located in the wire-passing module 4 to move regularly, thereby avoiding entanglement or bending wear of the wiring, and improving the service life of the wiring. At the same time, during the process of opening and closing the door body 3, it can also avoid collision and friction between the wire-passing module 4 and other components of the door body 3, reduce noise, and improve service life. Of course, this is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the inlet terminal 41 can also be set as the movable terminal.
[0059] Further, in Figure 4 In the specific embodiment shown, the limiting post 421 is provided on the outlet end 42, and the limiting groove 32 is correspondingly provided on the door body 3. It is understood that the space available for provision on the door body 3 is larger and more flexible, which can simplify the provision of the limiting groove 32 and miniaturize the wire-passing module 4. Of course, this is not limiting, and it is understood that in other embodiments, the limiting post 421 can also be provided on the door body 3, and the limiting groove 32 can be correspondingly provided on the wire-passing module 4.
[0060] Furthermore, in an embodiment in which the limit groove 32 is provided on the door body 3, the limit groove 32 extends from front to back and obliquely toward the rotating shaft 21, so that the opening and closing of the door body 3 is not restricted by the passing line module 4, and the door body 3 can be opened and closed freely.
[0061] Of course, the limiting groove 32 is not limited to the above-mentioned extension direction, and can be adaptively adjusted according to the movement trajectory of the limiting column 421 during the process of opening and closing the door body 3.
[0062] Specifically, the limiting groove 32 is provided on the top wall of the door body 3 and is located within the receiving cavity 31. At the same time, the notch of the limiting groove 32 is open upward, and the limiting post 421 protrudes downward from the outlet end 42, thereby simplifying the arrangement of the limiting groove 32 and the limiting post 421. Of course, this is not limiting, and it is understood that the notch direction of the limiting groove 32 and the protruding direction of the limiting post 421 can correspond to each other, and the limiting post 421 can also be configured in a bent shape, as long as the end of the limiting post 421 can protrude from the notch into the limiting groove 32.
[0063] Furthermore, on the basis that at least one of the input terminal 41 and the output terminal 42 is a movable end, the other end is a pivot end. Of course, this is not limited to the above. The other end can also be set as a fixed end or a movable end, as long as the wire passing module 4 does not affect the opening and closing of the door body 3.
[0064] At Figure 1-Figure 2 In the specific embodiment shown, the line inlet end 41 is a pivot end, that is, the line inlet end 41 is rotatably connected to the adapter 6 .
[0065] Specifically, combined Figure 9-10 As shown, a rotating shaft 43 is provided on one of the inlet terminal 41 and the adapter 6 , and an axial hole 66 is provided on the other to achieve a rotational connection between the inlet terminal 41 and the adapter 6 .
[0066] Furthermore, the adapter 6 and / or the wire-passing module 4 has a cache structure 9 for caching the remaining amount of the wiring, so as to cache the remaining amount of the wiring during the process of opening and closing the door body 3, avoid excessive stretching or mutual entanglement of the wiring, and improve the service life of the wiring.
[0067] At Figure 10 In a specific embodiment shown, the buffer structure 9 is a cavity for accommodating the excess of the wiring. The cavity can be provided in the adapter 6 and / or the wire-passing module 4 near the rotating shaft 43. During the opening and closing of the door body 3, the excess of the wiring is accommodated in the cavity, thereby preventing the wiring from being excessively stretched or entangled, thereby increasing the service life of the wiring. Of course, this is not limited to this.
[0068] In a specific embodiment, the accommodating chamber is provided at a position of the adapter 6 close to the rotating shaft 43, and the accommodating chamber is located on the side where the adapter 6 is away from the wire-passing module 4 during the door opening process. During the door opening process, the wiring close to the rotating shaft 43 will bend in a direction away from the opening direction of the door body 3 and be accommodated in the accommodating chamber, which can reduce the axial displacement of the wiring located in the wire-passing module 4 and the adapter 6, prevent excessive stretching of the wiring, and improve the service life of the wiring. Of course, this is not limited to the above. The accommodating chamber can also be provided in the wire-passing module 4, or the accommodating chamber can be located circumferentially of the rotating shaft 43. In this case, the remaining portion of the wiring can be wound around the rotating shaft 43. When the door body 3 is opened, the wound wiring is loosened and located in the accommodating chamber. When the door is closed, the wound wiring is tightened.
[0069] For further information, see Figure 9 As shown, the wire passing module 4 includes a first shell 44 and a second shell 45 that enclose a wiring cavity for accommodating wiring. One end of the first shell 44 and the second shell 45 are connected by a snap-fit structure 46 and the other end is fixedly connected by a fastener 47.
[0070] Specifically, the snap-fit structure 46 includes a boss 461 provided on one of the first shell 44 and the second shell 45, and a snap-fit groove 462 provided on the other. The snap-fit groove 462 extends along the length direction of the line-passing module 4, and the end of the snap-fit groove 462 corresponding to the end of the line-passing module 4 has a snap-fit opening for the boss 461 to enter and exit. When assembling the first shell 44 and the second shell 45, the boss 461 is snapped into the snap-fit groove 462 from the snap-fit opening, and then the fastening holes on the other end of the first shell 44 and the second shell 45 that match the fastener 47 are aligned, and the fastener 47 is screwed in.
[0071] After the first shell 44 and the second shell 45 are assembled to form the wire-passing module 4 , the wire-inlet end 41 of the wire-passing module 4 is connected to the adapter 6 , which is simple to assemble.
[0072] When installing the wiring, first separate the first shell 44 and the second shell 45, place the wiring in the first shell 44, and lead the wiring out from the end of the first shell 44 corresponding to the outlet end 42. Then, assemble the first shell 44 and the second shell 45 together to form a wiring cavity that guides and accommodates the wiring, which facilitates the arrangement of the wiring.
[0073] Please refer to Figure 11-12 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the line input terminal 41' is located in the upper area of the cabinet 1, and the line output terminal 42' is located in the upper area of the door body 3, that is, the line passing module 4' is located in the upper area of the refrigerator 100, and the matching position between the line passing module 4' and the cabinet 1 or the door body 3 can be fine-tuned according to the height adaptability of the door body 3 after installation, which is more versatile and will not occupy the insulation space in the door body 3 or the cabinet 1, and will not affect the insulation effect of the door body 3 or the cabinet 1.
[0074] In a specific embodiment, the inlet terminal 41' is rotatably connected to the hinge plate 2 at a position corresponding to the upper area of the box body 1, and the outlet terminal 42' is movably connected to the door body 3 through the matching structure of the limiting column and the limiting groove.
[0075] The structure of the wire-passing module 4' and the matching structure between the wire-passing module 4' and the door body 3 can all adopt the corresponding structures described above, and will not be described in detail herein.
[0076] To sum up, the refrigerator 100 in the present invention, by arranging the wire-passing module 4 in the upper area of the door body 3 and / or the box body 1, facilitates the assembly between the wire-passing module 4 and the door body 3 / box body 1, is more versatile, and does not occupy the insulation space in the door body 3 or the box body 1, and does not affect the insulation effect of the door body 3 or the box body 1.
