Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of refrigeration, and in particular to a refrigerator with a wiring assembly assembled with a refrigerator body. Background Art

[0002] As refrigerators become more intelligent and multifunctional, they often incorporate functional modules such as chiller and water modules and touch control modules into the door. These modules are connected to the door through cables extending from the refrigerator body. For example, cables extending from the refrigerator body connect the door's functional modules to the control module and provide power to the modules. Alternatively, water pipes extending from the refrigerator body supply water to the chiller and water module.

[0003] In existing refrigerators, wiring is typically routed through the upper hinge of the door. Specifically, the hinge shaft of the upper hinge has a through-hole extending vertically through it. The wiring leading from the refrigerator body passes through this through-hole and extends to the door body, connecting with the various functional modules on the door body. However, due to the size of the hinge shaft, the through-hole cannot be very large, which limits the thickness and number of wiring. This is especially true for refrigerators with door-mounted ice-making functions, where thicker water pipes also need to pass through this through-hole to connect to the ice and water module on the door body. In this case, the upper hinge alone cannot connect all wiring.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a new refrigerator having a wiring assembly assembled with a refrigerator body to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-14 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.

[0034] It should be noted that the drawings in the present invention only show the structural schematic diagrams of the box body, the door body and the wiring components that cooperate with the box body and the door body.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-10 As shown, the present invention provides a refrigerator 100, including a cabinet 1, a door body 3 rotatably connected to the cabinet 1 through a hinge plate 2 fixed on the cabinet 1, and a wiring assembly 4 for guiding at least part of the wiring led out from the cabinet 1 to the door body 3. The wiring guided into the door body 3 by the wiring assembly 4 is connected to the functional module on the door body 3 to supply power to the functional module on the door body 3.

[0036] In the present invention, the wiring assembly 4 is additionally provided, which reduces the limitation of the hinge wiring in the prior art, and can flexibly adjust the extension track of the wiring to avoid wiring jams.

[0037] Specifically, the wiring includes but is not limited to cables, water pipes, condensation pipes, etc.

[0038] The wiring assembly 4 includes a wiring box 41 for guiding at least part of the wiring to the door body 3. The wiring box 41 has a movable end 411 and a pivot end 412 arranged relatively to each other. One of the movable end 411 and the pivot end 412 cooperates with the box body 1, and the other cooperates with the door body 3. As the door body 3 is opened and closed, the movable end 411 is movable and the pivot end 412 is rotatable. The wiring box 41 will not affect the opening and closing of the door body 3. At the same time, the wiring located in the wiring box 41 can move freely with the opening and closing of the door body 3. The wiring box 41 can guide the wiring therein so that the wiring moves regularly with the wiring box 41 during the process of opening and closing the door, thereby avoiding entanglement or bending wear of the wiring, and improving the service life of the wiring.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the pivot end 412 is rotatably connected to the box body 1, and at this time, the movable end 411 is movably connected to the door body 3. Of course, this is not limited to this, please refer to Figure 11-12 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the pivot end 412 ′ can also be rotatably connected to the door body 3 , and in this case, the movable end 411 ′ is movably connected to the box body 1 .

[0040] For further information, see Figure 7-10 As shown, in this embodiment, the wiring assembly 4 also includes a fixing member 42 fixed on the box body 1 and protruding toward the door body 3, and the pivot end 412 is rotatably connected to the front end of the fixing member 42. At least part of the wiring extends to the door body 3 through the fixing member 42 and the wiring box 41 in sequence, realizing an indirect pivotal connection between the wiring box 41 and the box body 1. In the process of opening and closing the door body 3, the wiring box 41 can always be located in the upper area of ​​the door body 3, achieving the effect of concealing the wiring box 41. Of course, this is not limited to this, please refer to Figure 13-14 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the pivot end 412" of the wiring box 41" is directly rotatably connected to the box body 1, and the movable end 411" is movably connected to the door body 3, that is, the pivot end 412" is located in the upper area of ​​the box body 1, and the pivot end 412" is rotatably connected to the box body 1.

[0041] For further information, see Figure 4As shown, the door body 3 has a receiving cavity 31 for accommodating the wiring box 41 and the fixing member 42. During the process of opening and closing the door body 3, the wiring box 41 is located in the receiving cavity 31, that is, during the process of opening and closing the door body 3, the wiring box 41 is not exposed, thereby achieving the effect of concealing the wiring box 41, and preventing the wiring box 41 from affecting the appearance of the refrigerator 100 and the normal use of the refrigerator 100.

[0042] In one embodiment, the receiving cavity 31 is formed by being recessed downward from the top wall of the door body 3 .

[0043] Furthermore, the refrigerator 100 also includes a shielding cover 6 that cooperates with the receiving cavity 31. The shielding cover 6 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 6 can limit the upward movement of the wiring box 41, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the wiring box 41.

[0044] In this embodiment, the fixing member 42 and the hinge plate 2 are separated and arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. The fixing member 42 is made of plastic or nylon, which can reduce costs. At the same time, the fixing member 42 has good toughness and wear resistance, which can reduce noise during relative rotation between the fixing member 42 and the wiring box 41. Of course, this is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the fixing member 42 and the hinge plate 2 can also be provided as an integral unit, that is, the fixing member 42 is part of the hinge plate 2, and the wiring box 41 is rotatably connected to the hinge plate 2 at a position corresponding to the upper area of ​​the door body 3.

[0045] For further information, see Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, a limiting structure 7 is provided between the fixing part 42 and the hinge plate 2. It can be seen that the hinge plate 2 is generally made of a metal with greater rigidity, good load-bearing capacity, and is not easy to deform. The fixing part 42 is limited on the hinge plate 2 by the limiting structure 7, and the fixing part 42 can be limited by the hinge plate 2 to swing in the up and down directions, thereby preventing the wiring box 41 from being dislocated in the up and down directions, and enhancing the stability of the cooperation between the wiring box 41 and the door body 3.

[0046] In one specific embodiment, the limiting structure 7 is a supporting groove formed on the side of the fixing member 42 facing the hinge plate 2, and the end of the hinge plate 2 near the fixing member 42 is restrained in the supporting groove, thereby limiting the fixing member 42 from shaking in the vertical direction. Of course, this is not limiting. In other embodiments, the limiting structure 7 may also be a supporting groove formed on the side of the hinge plate 2 facing the fixing member 42, and the end of the fixing member 42 near the hinge plate 2 is restrained in the supporting groove, thereby limiting the fixing member 42 from shaking in the vertical direction.

[0047] Specifically, the limiting structure 7 includes at least one upper abutting piece 71 protruding from the fixing member 42 toward the hinge plate 2, and a lower abutting wall 72 protruding from the lower side of the fixing member 42 toward the hinge plate 2. The upper abutting piece 71 is located above the lower abutting wall 72 and is spaced apart from the lower abutting wall 72. The lower abutting wall 72, the upper abutting piece 71, and the side of the fixing member 42 facing the hinge plate 2 together form the abutting groove. After the hinge plate 2 is engaged in the abutting groove, the upper surface of the hinge plate 2 abuts against the upper abutting piece 71, and the lower surface of the hinge plate 2 abuts against the lower abutting wall 72, thereby limiting the shaking of the fixing member 42 in the up and down directions.

[0048] Specifically, the limiting structure 7 includes at least two upper holding pieces 71, which are spaced apart along the front-to-back direction to respectively limit the fixing member 42, thereby improving the stability of the wiring box 41. Of course, this is not limited to this.

[0049] Furthermore, the refrigerator 100 also includes a hinge box 8 fixed on the box body 1, and the fixing member 42 is fixed on the hinge box 8. The hinge box 8 fixed on the box body 1 realizes a fixed connection between the fixing member 42 and the box body 1, which can reduce the connection part on the box body 1 and simplify the assembly of the refrigerator 100.

[0050] Furthermore, after the fixing member 42 is fixed to the hinge box 8 , the hinge box 8 completely covers the fixing member 42 to completely shield the fixing member 42 , thereby enhancing the appearance of the refrigerator 100 .

[0051] 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 fixing part 42 is fixed to the middle hinge box 81. After the fixing part 42 and the hinge box 8 are assembled, the first hinge box 82 covers the hinge plate 2 and part of the fixing part 42, and the middle hinge box 81 covers other parts of the structure of the fixing part 42.

[0052] Furthermore, the middle hinge box 81 has a receiving portion 811 protruding toward the door body 3 and used to receive the fixing member 42 . The shape of the receiving portion 811 is adapted to the shape of the fixing member 42 .

[0053] Specifically, the accommodating portion 811 includes an upper wall 8111 that covers the upper surface of the fixing member 42, a supporting wall supported on the lower surface of the fixing member 42, and a connecting wall 8112 connecting the upper wall 8111 and one side of the supporting wall. After the fixing member 42 is fixed to the hinge box 8, the partial structure of the fixing member 42 protruding toward the door body 3 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 811, and the fixing member 42 is supported on the supporting wall.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the support wall protrudes toward the hinge plate 2 to form the aforementioned lower supporting wall 72, thereby simplifying the structure of the fixing member 42. Of course, this is not limited to the above.

[0055] Furthermore, the fixing member 42 and the receiving portion 811 are jointly formed to form a wiring groove for the wiring to pass through. Specifically, the side of the fixing member 42 corresponding to the connecting wall 8112 is open, and the wiring can be first installed into the fixing member 42 through the side of the fixing member 42 facing the connecting wall 8112, and then the fixing member 42 is assembled with the middle hinge box 81 to form the wiring groove that guides and limits the wiring, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the wiring.

[0056] 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 to rotatably connect the door body 3 to the hinge plate 2 .

[0057] Combine Figure 6 As shown, the rotating shaft 21 has a through hole arranged along its axial direction, and the through hole is used to guide at least part of 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 wiring assembly 4, which reduces the limitations of the existing hinge wiring and can flexibly adjust the extension trajectory of each wiring to avoid wire jamming.

[0058] Furthermore, the fixing member 42 is provided with at least one clip 421 for fixing the wiring on the side facing the hinge plate 2. The pipeline that needs to pass through the through hole is first fixed and arranged by the clip 421 and then passes through the through hole to avoid the phenomenon of disordered wiring of the pipeline led out from the box 1.

[0059] In one embodiment, the buckle 421 is an L-shaped buckle, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0060] Furthermore, the fixing member 42 and / or the wiring box 41 has a accommodating cavity 422 for accommodating the remaining wiring. During the door opening and closing process, the remaining wiring is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 422, which can avoid excessive deformation of the wiring and improve the service life of the wiring.

[0061] For details, please refer to Figure 10 As shown, when the accommodating cavity 422 is provided in the fixing member 42, the accommodating cavity 422 is located in the portion of the fixing member 42 close to the pivot end 412, and the accommodating cavity 422 is located on the side where the fixing member 42 is away from the wiring box 41 during the door opening process. During the door opening process, the wiring close to the pivot end 412 will be bent in the direction away from the opening direction of the door body 3 and accommodated in the accommodating cavity 422, which can reduce the axial displacement of the wiring located in the wiring box 41 and the fixing member 42, prevent excessive stretching of the wiring, and improve the service life of the wiring.

[0062] When the accommodating cavity is provided in the wiring box 41, the accommodating cavity is located in the part of the wiring box 41 close to the pivot end 412, and the accommodating cavity is located on the side where the wiring box 41 is away from the fixing member 42 during the door opening process. During the door opening process, the wiring close to the pivot end 412 will be bent in the direction away from the opening direction of the door body 3 and accommodated in the accommodating cavity, which can reduce the axial displacement of the wiring located in the wiring box 41 and the fixing member 42, prevent excessive stretching of the wiring, and improve the service life of the wiring.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, the accommodating cavity 422 is disposed in the fixing member 42 , but this is not limiting.

[0064] Furthermore, a limiting column 413 is provided on one of the movable end 411 and the door body 3, and a limiting groove 32 that cooperates with the limiting column 413 is provided on the other, that is, the movable connection between the movable end 411 and the door body 3 is realized by the limiting column 413 and the limiting groove 32 that cooperate with each other, and the structure is relatively simple.

[0065] During the process of opening and closing the door body 3, the limit groove 32 guides the movement of the limit column 413. During the movement of the limit column 413 along the limit groove 32, the wiring box 41 and the wiring located in the wiring box 41 are driven 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, collision and friction between the wiring box 41 and other components of the door body 3 can also be avoided, thereby reducing noise and improving service life.

[0066] At Figure 4In the specific embodiment shown, the limiting post 413 is provided on the movable end 411, and the limiting groove 32 is correspondingly provided on the door body 3 and located in the receiving cavity 31. It is understandable that the space available for setting on the door body 3 is larger and more flexible, which can simplify the setting of the limiting groove 32 and miniaturize the wiring box 41. Of course, this is not limiting, and it is understandable that in other embodiments, the limiting post 413 can also be provided on the door body 3, and the limiting groove 32 is correspondingly provided on the wiring box 41. Alternatively, in the embodiment shown in the figure where the pivot end 412' is pivotally connected to the door body 3 and the movable end 411' is movably connected to the box body 1, the limiting groove 32' can be directly formed on the hinge plate 2 or the hinge box 8 to simplify the structure of the refrigerator.

[0067] 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 wiring box 41, and the door body 3 can be opened and closed freely.

[0068] 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 413 during the process of opening and closing the door body 3.

[0069] Specifically, the limiting groove 32 is provided on the top wall of the door body 3, and the notch of the limiting groove 32 is open upward, and the limiting post 413 protrudes downward from the movable end 411, thereby simplifying the arrangement of the limiting groove 32 and the limiting post 413. 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 413 can correspond to each other, and the limiting post 413 can also be provided in a bent shape, as long as the end of the limiting post 413 can protrude from the notch into the limiting groove 32.

[0070] For details, please refer to Figure 9 As shown, the wiring box 41 includes a first shell 414 and a second shell 415 that enclose a wiring cavity for accommodating wiring. One end of the first shell 414 and the second shell 415 are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure and the other end is fixedly connected by a fastener 416.

[0071] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a boss 417 provided on one of the first shell 414 and the second shell 415, and a snap-fit ​​groove 418 provided on the other. The snap-fit ​​groove 418 extends along the length direction of the wiring box 41, and the end of the snap-fit ​​groove 418 corresponding to the end of the wiring box 41 has a snap-fit ​​opening for the boss 417 to enter and exit. When assembling the first shell 414 and the second shell 415, the boss 417 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 418 from the snap-fit ​​opening, and then the fastening holes on the other ends of the first shell 414 and the second shell 415 that match the fastener 416 are aligned, and the fastener 416 is screwed in.

[0072] After the first shell 414 and the second shell 415 are assembled to form the wiring box 41 , the pivot end 412 of the wiring box 41 is rotatably connected to the fixing member 42 , which is easy to assemble.

[0073] When installing the wiring, first separate the first shell 414 and the second shell 415, place the wiring in the first shell 414, and lead the wiring out from the end of the first shell 414 corresponding to the movable end 411. Then, assemble the first shell 414 and the second shell 415 together to form a wiring cavity that guides and accommodates the wiring, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the wiring.

[0074] To sum up, the refrigerator 100 in the present invention, on the one hand, is further provided with a wiring assembly 4, which reduces the limitation of the hinge wiring in the prior art and can flexibly adjust the extension trajectory of the wiring to avoid wiring jams; on the other hand, the movable end 411 of the wiring box 41 in the present invention cooperates with the box body 1 and the other cooperates with the door body 3. During the opening and closing process of the door body 3, the wiring box 41 and the wiring located in the wiring box 41 are driven to move regularly, avoiding entanglement or bending wear of the wiring, etc., thereby improving the service life of the wiring.

[0075] It should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each implementation method can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0076] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent implementation methods or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
