[0002] At present, the structure of left-right exchange of refrigerator door is common, and some product instructions even guide users how to adjust the direction of the door according to the use habit, but the types of refrigerator that can realize the left-right exchange of door at present are summarized, including single-door refrigerator, direct-cooling three-door refrigerator, air-cooled two-door and three-door refrigerator without middle partition. Taking a Japanese air-cooled three-door refrigerator as an example, the refrigerator has three compartments, a refrigeration compartment (upper part), a vegetable compartment (middle part) and a freezer compartment (lower part). The vegetable and freezer doors are straight-drawing structure, and the refrigeration door is side-opening structure. The market requires the left-right exchange of the refrigeration door, that is, some customers require the refrigeration compartment to be opened left or right, so the product design needs to consider that the on-site product materials can meet the requirement of left-right exchange of door.

[0003] At present, the design status of the industry is as follows: the compartments of left-right exchange door and the adjacent compartments are separated by foamed heat preservation structure. When the defrosting pipe is arranged on the beam structure, it can pass through the three-dimensional bend to bypass the hinge structure at both ends. When the left-right exchange door of this type of refrigerator is assembled on site, the foamed box structure does not need to be changed, only the hinge structure that controls the opening and closing of the door needs to be transferred to the left or right side. However, for the above-mentioned Japanese air-cooled three-door refrigerator, the heat preservation layer between the refrigeration compartment and the lower compartment is a non-foamed type. The heat preservation layer is a separate installation of a partition structure assembly after the foaming of the box body, so as to form a sealed space of two different temperature zones and correspond to the installation of independent door. The partition beam in the partition assembly is a kind of false beam structure.

[0004] In order to prevent condensation, the defrosting pipe also needs to be arranged on the false beam. The defrosting pipe can only be fixed in a plane on the beam, and cannot pass through the three-dimensional bend to effectively avoid the hinge structure at both ends. Therefore, the left and right sides of the false beam need to be designed to reserve the structure for screwing and fixing the door hinge.

[0040] ​The features and advantages of the present application will be more apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is understood that the present application can be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein, which are by way of example only, and that the description and drawings merely provide illustrative examples of the present application.

[0041] The present embodiment provides a refrigerator, which is a refrigerator type with interchangeable door bodies and a false middle beam structure in the bottom middle beam. The structure of the false middle beam of the above-mentioned refrigerator is improved to meet the requirements of avoiding the defrosting pipe and to ensure the structural strength required for the interchange of the left and right door bodies.

[0042] Reference should be made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 together, which show the specific structure of a refrigerator provided by the present embodiment.

[0043] With reference to the view direction of Figure 1 , the refrigerator mainly comprises a cabinet 200 and two inner containers 21 arranged inside the cabinet 200. One of the upper inner containers 21 is provided with a partition plate assembly 100.

[0044] As shown in Figure 2 , the partition plate assembly 100 divides the space of the inner container 21 into a first compartment 211 and a second compartment 212. In the present embodiment, the first compartment 211 is a refrigeration compartment, and the second compartment 212 is a variable temperature compartment (vegetable compartment). The other lower inner container 21 defines a freezing compartment.

[0045] Reference should be made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 together, the partition plate assembly 100 mainly comprises a partition plate body 1, a partition plate foam 3, a front beam cover 7, and a plurality of buckles 5.

[0046] The partition plate body 1 is a rectangular flat plate structure with a certain thickness to ensure the temperature insulation effect. The partition plate body 1 is horizontally placed in the middle of the upper inner container 21 and is the main component for dividing the first compartment 211 and the second compartment 212. The rear side and the left and right sides of the partition plate body 1 are respectively connected and fixed with the inner peripheral wall of the upper inner container 21. Since the partition plate body 1 is not a conventional foaming type, the partition plate beam arranged on the front side of the partition plate body 1 is not a conventional middle beam, and is named as a false middle beam for convenience. In the present embodiment, the false middle beam is mainly composed of the partition plate foam 3 and the front beam cover 7.

[0047] As shown in Figure 4 , the front side of the partition plate body 1 is recessed to form a long strip-shaped accommodation groove 11. The accommodation groove 11 is used to provide mounting space for the false middle beam.

[0048] The partition foam 3 is in a strip shape and has an outer dimension that is adapted to the shape and size of the accommodating groove 11 so as to be embedded in the accommodating groove 11. The partition foam 3 is a foamed body and has a certain thickness. On the left and right ends of the partition foam 3 in the thickness direction, two groups of hinge holes 31 for connecting the refrigerator door body are respectively provided, and the hinge holes 31 are provided for the screws 241 of the hinge structure 24. Each group of hinge holes 31 is provided with two, and the two hinge holes 31 are arranged in the length direction of the partition foam 3.

[0049] The partition foam 3 is provided with a via hole 32 in front and back for the buckle 5 to pass forward.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the buckle 5 can pass through the via hole 32 when the partition foam 3 is installed in the accommodating groove 11, and protrude on the front side of the partition foam 3. The buckle 5 is used to fix the defrosting pipe 23. The buckle 5 is spaced apart from the hinge hole 31 in the height direction, so that the wiring of the defrosting pipe 23 can avoid the hinge hole 31, and the defrosting pipe 23 will not interfere with the subsequent hinge installation.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 4 , the front beam cover 7 is a long strip plate structure.

[0052] The front beam cover 7 is provided with a through hole 71 corresponding to the hinge hole 31. After the front beam cover 7 is installed, the front beam cover 7 covers the front side of the partition foam 3 to shield the defrosting pipe 23. From the front of the box body 200, the front beam cover 7 is exposed on the front side of the box body 200. The screw 241 of the hinge structure 24 passes through the through hole 71 of the front beam cover 7 from front to back, and is screwed in the hinge hole 31 of the partition foam 3, realizing the hinge connection between the hinge and the beam.

[0053] In this embodiment, the defrosting pipe 23 is a U-shaped pipe and has two spaced and opposite pipe fittings integrally bent.

[0054] The part of the pipe segment of the defrosting pipe 23 is transversely U-shaped on the front side of the partition foam 3, which is specifically manifested as that both pipe fittings are laid on the front side of the partition foam 3, and both pipe fittings extend in the transverse direction and are spaced apart in the vertical direction. Each pipe fitting is fixed on the partition foam 3 by a buckle 5. The defrosting pipe 23 can generate heat, and the heat can be transferred to the front beam cover 7 to ensure good defrosting effect. In addition, the remaining pipe segments of the defrosting pipe 23 are also vertically U-shaped on the side wall of the inner container 21.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 7The buckle 5 is vertically connected to the front side wall of the partition body 1 and located in the receiving groove 11. When the partition foam 3 is squeezed into the receiving groove 11 of the partition body 1, the buckle 5 passes through the through hole 32 of the partition foam 3, and the front end protrusion 51 of the buckle 5 is exposed on the front side of the partition foam 3 to contact the dew removal pipe 23.

[0056] In the embodiment, the buckle 5 is made of plastic material and integrally formed with the partition body 1 by injection molding, which has the advantage of high strength. Meanwhile, the buckle 5 passes through the partition foam 3 to provide certain support for the partition foam 3, thereby improving the structural strength of the false beam.

[0057] As shown in Figure 7 , viewed from the front of the cabinet 200, the dew removal pipe 23 is left-side out-piped, and the pipeline of the dew removal pipe 23 is not arranged on the right-side hinge structure 24 and the screw hole. Therefore, there is no problem in the conventional assembly of the right-opening door, but when the left-opening door is assembled, it is necessary to consider how to design the avoidance structure to avoid the interference between the hinge and the dew removal pipe 23 when the hinge is nailed.

[0058] To solve the above problem, the buckle 5 is only located on the left end of the partition foam 3 to avoid the dew removal pipe 23 for the left-opening door hinge structure 24. On the left end of the partition foam 3, the opening of the u-shaped dew removal pipe 23 fixed on the buckle 5 faces the left side of the cabinet 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the dew removal pipe 23 can be right-side out-piped, and in this case, the buckle 5 is correspondingly arranged on the right end of the partition foam 3 to provide support and avoidance for the right-side dew removal pipe 23.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 8 , the front end of the buckle 5 has two protrusions 51 opposite to each other in the up-down direction.

[0060] The protrusions 51 are arc-shaped, and the openings of the two protrusions 51 are opposite to each other and enclosed to form a nearly circular buckle 52.

[0061] When the dew removal pipe 23 is installed, the two protrusions 51 can be manually separated from each other to open and enlarge the buckle 52 to allow the dew removal pipe 23 to enter the buckle 52. After the dew removal pipe 23 enters the buckle 52, the protrusions 51 are loosened to restore the original state of the buckle 52, so that the dew removal pipe 23 is clamped in the buckle 52 to ensure the fixing effect of the dew removal pipe 23.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 9 , two groups of hinge holes 31 for connecting the refrigerator door body are respectively arranged through the left and right ends of the partition foam 3, and a through hole 32 for the buckle 5 to pass through is arranged through the front and back of the partition foam 3. Viewed from the front of the assembled partition foam 3, the buckle 5 is staggered with the hinge holes 31 in the length direction (transverse direction) of the partition foam 3.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 7The buckles 5 are provided in two groups, one of which is located on the left side of the hinge hole 31. It can be understood that this group of buckles 5 is closer to the left side of the box body 200 than the hinge hole 31. The other group is symmetrically located on the right side of the hinge hole 31. The number of buckles 5 in each group is four, two pairs of which are spaced apart vertically. The upper pair of buckles 5 is higher than the upper end of the hinge hole 31, used to fix the upper pipe of the U-shaped dew removal pipe 23. The lower pair of buckles 5 is lower than the lower end of the hinge hole 31, used to fix the lower pipe of the U-shaped dew removal pipe 23. In this embodiment, the two buckles 5 vertically opposite are integrally formed as a whole, which has high strength and is convenient for installation of the buckles 5.

[0064] The inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of the partition body 1 in the accommodation groove 11 are respectively provided with a plurality of opposite protruding buckling ribs 12.

[0065] The front side wall of the partition body 1 is further provided with two forward protruding studs 13. The two studs 13 are symmetrically arranged, and the left stud 13 is located between the two buckles 5.

[0066] As shown in Figure 9 The partition foam 3 further includes a boss 33 corresponding to the hinge hole 31.

[0067] The boss 33 is circular, and the boss 33 is arranged around the hinge hole 31 and protrudes from the front side of the partition foam 3. The upper and lower sides of the boss 33 are used to abut the dew removal pipe 23, so as to prevent the dew removal pipe 23 from moving up and down, and ensure that the dew removal pipe 23 remains unchanged in shape in the left-right and up-down directions, without up-down movement. The boss 33 can separate the dew removal pipe 23, so that the left hinge structure 24 can effectively avoid the pipe when fixed.

[0068] The top and bottom of the partition foam 3 are respectively provided with a plurality of clamping grooves 34 for accommodating the buckling ribs 12. The extension direction of the clamping groove 34 penetrates through the front and rear side walls of the partition foam 3, which is beneficial to the embedding of the buckling rib 12 in the clamping groove 34 during assembly.

[0069] The partition foam 3 is provided with a threaded hole 35 for the stud 13 to pass through. During installation, the partition foam 3 is embedded in the accommodation groove 11 of the partition body 1, and the stud 13 passes through the threaded hole 35, which is used for bolt connection and fixation of the outermost front beam cover 7.

[0070] In the related art, due to the use requirements of ODM (Original design manufacture) customers or users, the left and right door bodies are exchanged at any time on the spot or by the user, and the screw hole structure for fixing the door hinge is reserved in advance on both sides of the middle beam, so as to facilitate the installation of the door body at any time. The partition beam in the partition assembly of the embodiment is a kind of false middle beam structure, which is equivalent to a foamed beam body. However, the strength of the false middle beam structure is limited, and therefore, based on the requirement of exchanging the left and right door bodies, a reinforcing structure is needed to assist in fixing the lower hinge.

[0071] To solve the above problems, please refer to Figure 10 The partition assembly 100 further comprises two left and right symmetrical reinforcing structures 9 arranged on both sides of the partition body 1.

[0072] The reinforcing structure 9 is made of metal and has an overall L-shaped structure.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 11 The reinforcing structure 9 comprises a first reinforcing plate 91 and a second reinforcing plate 92 connected vertically. The first reinforcing plate 91 is provided with an adaptive hole 911 opposite to the hinge hole 31. Of course, the middle part of the first reinforcing plate 91 is also provided with a counterbore 913 opposite to the stud 13. In assembly, the first reinforcing plate 91 is connected between the partition foam 3 and the front beam cover 7 and is fixed by the screw 241. The second reinforcing plate 92 is connected between the side wall of the inner container 21 and the box body 200, that is, the second reinforcing plate 92 is fixed by the foamed body clamped between the inner container 21 and the box body 200. The second reinforcing plate 92 can transmit the stress of the first reinforcing plate 91 when hinged to the inner container 21 and the box body 200, avoiding stress concentration and improving the stress strength.

[0074] The first reinforcing plate 91 is recessed to form a step-like transition part 912 in the direction of the rear side at the end close to the second reinforcing plate 92.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 7 A bent part 14 is protruded on the left end edge of the partition body 1, and the bent part 14 is provided with a bent groove 141 for the defrosting pipe 23 to bend from vertical wiring to horizontal wiring.

[0076] Please further refer to Figure 12 When the reinforcing structure 9 is assembled, the transition part 912 covers and fits on the bent part 14 to slightly press on the defrosting pipe 23, avoiding loose pipe.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 13 The side surface of the second reinforcing plate 92 facing the inner container 21 is protruded with a convex rib 93.

[0078] The convex rib 93 extends along the length direction of the second reinforcing plate 92 in a straight line type, and the extending direction of the convex rib 93 is consistent with the extending direction of the drain pipe 23 on the left side of the inner container 21. During assembly, the convex rib 93 is used to abut and limit the drain pipe 23, and constrain the wiring direction of the drain pipe 23. In addition, the side of the first reinforcing plate 91 facing the partition foam 3 is also provided with a convex rib 93 extending in the transverse direction, which is used to abut and limit the drain pipe 23 on the front side.

[0079] The upper and lower sides of the second reinforcing plate 92 are also bent to form a flange 94, and the second reinforcing plate 92 abuts on the outer wall of the inner container 21 through the flange 94, leaving a space for the drain pipe 23 to pass through.

[0080] The second reinforcing plate 92 is also uniformly provided with a plurality of process holes 921, and the end of the second reinforcing plate 92 away from the first reinforcing plate 91 is also formed with a rectangular window 922, and a inclined plate 923 extends obliquely at the window 922, which is used for convenient holding during assembly, and improves the installation efficiency.

[0081] In the embodiment, the assembly sequence of the partition assembly 100 is as follows: partition body 1→partition foam 3→drain pipe 23→L-shaped reinforcing structure 9→front beam cover 7→door hinge→screw 241 fixation.

[0082] In summary, the refrigerator provided by the application has at least the following advantages and positive effects:

[0083] Firstly, the buckle 5 protrudes on the front side of the partition foam 3. The buckle 5 is used to fix the drain pipe 23. In addition, the buckle 5 is spaced apart from the hinge hole 31 in the height direction, so that the wiring of the drain pipe 23 can avoid the hinge hole 31, and the drain pipe 23 will not interfere with the subsequent hinge installation.

[0084] Secondly, the partition assembly 100 further comprises two reinforcing structures 9 symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the partition body 1. The reinforcing structure 9 is made of metal and has an overall L-shaped structure. The reinforcing structure 9 comprises a first reinforcing plate 91 and a second reinforcing plate 92 connected vertically. The first reinforcing plate 91 is provided with an adaptive hole 911 opposite to the hinge hole 31. The second reinforcing plate 92 is connected between the side wall of the inner container 21 and the box body 200. The second reinforcing plate 92 can transmit the stress of the first reinforcing plate 91 during hinge connection to the wall of the inner container 21, avoiding stress concentration and improving the stress strength.

[0085] The above-mentioned refrigerator improves the structure of the false center beam, which not only meets the requirement of avoiding the drain pipe 23, but also ensures the structural strength of the left and right interchangeable door body.
