Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, for example, to a crossbeam assembly for a refrigerator and a refrigerator. Background Art
[0002] A refrigerator is one of the indispensable appliances in modern families, and the improvement of its design and functionality has always been the goal pursued by home appliance manufacturers. In the traditional refrigerator door structure, the door body is installed on the cabinet body through a three-point fixing method of an upper hinge, a middle hinge, and a lower hinge to ensure the stability and rotational performance of the door body. Especially the design of the middle hinge is usually located on the middle crossbeam and connects the upper and lower doors, that is, the fresh food compartment door and the freezer compartment door, through a transmission shaft, allowing them to open and close independently.
[0003] However, with the trend of interior design towards integrity and integration, flush-mounted refrigerators have become increasingly popular because they can perfectly integrate with the cabinets. Such refrigerators not only need to be coordinated with indoor furniture but also need to have good opening and closing performance. To achieve this goal, the fresh food compartment door and the freezer compartment door of the flush-mounted refrigerator are respectively configured with independent hinge modules.
[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is found that at least the following problems exist in the related art:
[0005] In actual use, since the fresh food compartment door and the freezer compartment door are respectively configured with independent hinge modules, this requires increasing the vertical width of the middle crossbeam to be able to install the hinges corresponding to the two compartment doors. However, the relatively wide middle crossbeam appears rather empty when it is inside the fresh food compartment and / or the freezer compartment, resulting in a low utilization rate of the space structure and reducing the user experience.

[0040] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a refrigerator, which includes a crossbeam assembly, a door body, and an inner liner for the refrigerator. The crossbeam 100 assembly forms the frame structure of the refrigerator. An inner liner is installed in the crossbeam 100 assembly, and the inner liner is recessed to form a storage cavity. The refrigerator door body is pivotally connected to the crossbeam 100 assembly through a hinge, so that the refrigerator door body can rotate relative to the crossbeam 100 assembly to open or close.
[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the front panel 110 of the crossbeam 100 can be correspondingly arranged with the refrigerator door body. The front side of the front panel 110 is the side where the front panel 110 faces the refrigerator door body, and the rear side of the front panel 110 is the side where the front panel 110 faces away from the refrigerator door body. Optionally, the foaming layer is foamed on the rear side of the front panel 110. The up-down direction is the direction in which an object freely falls.
[0042] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a crossbeam assembly for a refrigerator, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, the crossbeam assembly for the refrigerator includes a crossbeam 100 and a decorative member 200. The crossbeam 100 includes a front panel 110, and the front panel 110 is configured with a connection hole 111. A first buckle 120 is provided on the side wall of the connection hole 111. The decorative member 200 is arranged on the front side wall of the front panel 110. The width of the decorative member 200 is smaller than the width of the front panel 110. A second buckle 210 is provided on the side wall of the decorative member 200 facing the front panel 110. The second buckle 210 passes through the connection hole 111 and cooperates with the first buckle 120 to connect the decorative member 200 with the front panel 110.
[0043] Wherein, the width of the decorative member 200 is the extension length of the decorative member 200 in the up-down direction; the width of the front panel 110 is the extension length of the front panel 110 in the up-down direction.
[0044] With this alternative embodiment, the front panel 110 is configured with a connection hole 111. A first buckle 120 is provided on the side wall of the connection hole 111. A second buckle 210 is provided on the side wall of the decorative member 200 facing the front panel 110. The second buckle 210 passes through the connection hole 111, and the second buckle 210 can cooperate with the first buckle 120, so that the decorative member 200 can be installed on the front side wall of the front panel 110, and the connection stability between the decorative member 200 and the front panel 110 is increased through snap connection. The cross beam 100 includes the front panel 110, and the front panel 110 can be observed after the refrigerator door body is opened. The decorative member 200 is provided on the front side wall of the front panel 110 through the first buckle 120 and the second buckle 210. The width of the decorative member 200 is smaller than the width of the front panel 110. In this way, when the refrigerator door body is opened, the user can observe the decorative member 200, and the user's attention can be guided to the decorative member 200, so as to prevent the user from observing the entire front panel 110, reduce the user's sense of emptiness, and improve the user's experience.
[0045] Optionally, the decorative member 200 may be provided with an indication slogan, a pattern, a Logo, etc., for indication or display, so as to increase the function of the cross beam assembly for the refrigerator and improve the utilization rate of the cross beam assembly for the refrigerator.
[0046] Furthermore, a decorative pattern is provided on the front wall surface of the decorative member 200, and the brightness of the decorative pattern is less than the brightness of the front wall surface of the front panel 110.
[0047] In this embodiment, a decorative pattern is provided on the front wall surface of the decorative member 200, and the pattern on the decorative member 200 can be observed when the refrigerator door is opened. And the brightness of the decorative pattern is less than the brightness of the front panel 110. In this way, when the user observes the decorative member 200, it is easier to focus the attention on the darker decorative pattern, shift the attention from the front panel 110, reduce the user's sense of the width of the front panel 110, and improve the user's experience.
[0048] The decorative pattern may include an indication slogan, a Logo, extension lines, etc. In this embodiment, the specific shape and color of the decorative pattern can be set according to the needs and experience of those skilled in the art, as long as the brightness of the decorative pattern is less than the brightness of the front panel 110 and can attract the user's attention, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0049] Exemplarily, the front side wall of the decorative member 200 is arranged in an arc shape, and the thickness of the middle part of the decorative member 200 is greater than the thickness of the two ends of the decorative member 200.
[0050] In this embodiment, the front side wall of the decorative member 200 is arc-shaped, and the thickness of the middle part of the decorative member 200 is greater than that of both ends of the decorative member 200. In this way, the arc-shaped decorative member 200 can guide the flow of the user's line of sight, visually increase the length of the decorative member 200, thereby reducing the width of the decorative member 200, so as to reduce the width of the front panel 110 and improve the user experience.
[0051] Optionally, on the basis that the front side wall of the decorative member 200 is arc-shaped, a decorative pattern can also be provided on the decorative member 200 to further reduce the viewing width of the front panel 110, reduce the sense of emptiness of the user, and improve the user experience.
[0052] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 shown, along the up-down direction, the decorative member 200 is disposed in the middle of the front panel 110, and the width of the decorative member 200 is greater than 60% of the width of the front panel 110.
[0053] In this embodiment, along the up-down direction, the decorative member 200 is disposed in the middle of the front panel 110, that is, there is a first preset distance between the upper side wall of the decorative member 200 and the upper side wall of the front panel 110, and there is a second preset distance between the lower side wall of the decorative member 200 and the lower side wall of the front panel 110. In this way, the front panel 110 can be divided into three parts, namely the upper part of the front panel 110, the middle part of the decorative member 200, and the lower part of the front panel 110. Reducing the width of the exposed part of the front panel 110 facilitates the user to focus on the decorative member 200.
[0054] The width of the decorative member 200 is greater than 60% of the width of the front panel 110 and less than the width of the front panel 110, which also facilitates the user to focus on the decorative member 200 with a smaller width, reduces the sense of emptiness of the user, and improves the user experience.
[0055] For example, the width of the decorative member 200 is one-third of the width of the front panel 110, the width of the upper part of the front panel 110 (i.e., the first preset distance) is one-sixth of the width of the front panel 110, and the width of the lower part of the front panel 110 (i.e., the second preset distance) is one-sixth of the width of the front panel 110.
[0056] Optionally, when the refrigerator is a double-door refrigerator, along the length direction of the front panel 110, the decorative member 200 is disposed in the middle of the front panel 110, and hinge connection areas are provided at both ends of the front panel 110, and the two hinge connection areas are respectively used to connect with two hinges, so that the cross beam 100 is pivotally connected to the two refrigerator door bodies through the two hinges.
[0057] Optionally, in the case where the refrigerator is a single-door refrigerator, along the length direction of the front panel 110, the decorative member 200 is provided in the middle of the front panel 110 and extends to one end of the front panel 110. A hinge connection area is provided at the other end of the front panel 110, and the hinge connection area is used for hinge connection so that the cross beam 100 is pivotally connected to the refrigerator door body through the hinge.
[0058] In some alternative embodiments, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the cross beam assembly for the refrigerator further includes an anti-overflow box 300. The anti-overflow box 300 is provided on the rear side wall of the front panel 110, and the anti-overflow box 300 covers the connection hole 111 to prevent the foaming material from overflowing from the connection hole 111 to the front panel 110.
[0059] In this embodiment, the anti-overflow box 300 is provided on the rear side wall of the front panel 110, and the anti-overflow box 300 covers the connection hole 111. In this way, when the foaming layer foams inside the front panel 110, the anti-overflow box 300 can reduce the entry of the foaming material into the connection hole 111 and overflow from the connection hole 111 to the front panel 110, causing the foaming material to leak, thereby improving the sealing performance of the front panel 110.
[0060] Furthermore, the anti-overflow box 300 is configured with an internal space 310 with one end open. The internal space 310 communicates with the connection hole 111, and a third buckle 320 is provided on the side wall of the internal space 310.
[0061] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, the front panel 110 is further provided with an avoidance hole 112. The avoidance hole 112 communicates with the internal space 310. The side wall of the decorative member 200 facing the front panel 110 is provided with a fourth buckle 220. The fourth buckle 220 passes through the avoidance hole 112 and extends into the internal space 310. The fourth buckle 220 cooperates with the third buckle 320 to fix the anti-overflow box 300 on the rear side wall of the front panel 110.
[0062] Adopting this alternative embodiment, the anti-overflow box 300 is configured with an internal space 310 with one end open, and the opening faces the rear side wall of the front panel 110, and the side wall at the opening of the anti-overflow box 300 is connected to the rear side wall of the front panel 110.
[0063] The side wall of the internal space 310 is further provided with an avoidance hole 112, and the avoidance hole 112 communicates with the internal space 310. A third buckle 320 is provided on the side wall of the internal space 310, and a fourth buckle 220 is provided on the side wall of the decorative member 200 facing the front panel 110. The fourth buckle 220 can pass through the avoidance hole 112 and extend into the internal space 310 to cooperate and connect with the third buckle 320 in the internal space 310, thereby fixing the anti-overflow box 300 on the rear side wall of the front panel 110.
[0064] Moreover, in this embodiment, the third buckle 320 and the fourth buckle 220 cooperate with each other, and the anti-overflow box 300 can also fix the decorative member 200. Especially after the foaming material foams, the foaming layer can fix the anti-overflow box 300, and the anti-overflow box 300 and the decorative member 200 can be fixed to each other through the third buckle 320 and the fourth buckle 220, so as to improve the connection stability and reliability of the anti-overflow box 300 and the decorative member 200 at the same time.
[0065] In this embodiment, the avoidance hole 112 communicates with the internal space 310, and the anti-overflow box 300 can also seal the avoidance hole 112, reducing the occurrence of the foaming material overflowing from the avoidance hole 112 and improving the sealing performance of the front panel 110.
[0066] Optionally, as Figure 6 shown, the anti-overflow box 300 includes a main body 330 and a connecting plate 340. The main body 330 is configured with an internal space 310 having an open end. The connecting plate 340 is disposed around the opening of the main body 330, and the connecting plate 340 extends in a direction away from the internal space 310, and the connecting plate 340 abuts against the rear side wall of the front panel 110.
[0067] In this embodiment, the anti-overflow box 300 includes a main body 330 and a connecting plate 340. The connecting plate 340 extends in a direction away from the internal space 310, and the connecting plate 340 abuts against the inner side wall of the front panel 110, which can increase the contact area between the anti-overflow box 300 and the front panel 110. The connecting plate 340 is disposed around the opening of the main body 330. When the foaming layer foams at the rear side of the front panel 110, the foaming layer can also press the connecting plate 340 against the rear side wall of the front panel 110, reducing the occurrence of the foaming material entering the internal space 310 through the opening during the foaming process and improving the sealing performance of the opening. Moreover, the connecting plate 340 can support the main body 330 to reduce the occurrence of the main body 330 being skewed due to force and exposing the opening.
[0068] Optionally, the third buckle 320 is disposed on the side wall of the internal space 310 opposite to the opening.
[0069] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, the fourth buckle 220 includes a sixth buckle body 221 and a seventh buckle body 222. The first end of the sixth buckle body 221 is connected to the side wall of the decorative member 200 facing the front panel 110. The second end of the sixth buckle body 221 extends toward the front panel 110 and can pass through the avoidance hole 112 and be located in the internal space 310 of the anti-overflow box 300. The first end of the seventh buckle body 222 is connected to the second end of the sixth buckle body 221, and the second end of the seventh buckle body 222 extends obliquely downward.
[0070] The third buckle 320 includes an eighth buckle body 321 and a ninth buckle body 322. The first end of the eighth buckle body 321 is connected to the side wall of the internal space 310, and the second end of the eighth buckle body 321 extends toward the opening. The first end of the ninth buckle body 322 is connected to the second end of the eighth buckle body 321, the second end of the ninth buckle body 322 extends upward, and the side wall of the ninth buckle body 322 facing the eighth buckle body 321 can be connected to the side wall of the seventh buckle body 222 facing the decorative member 200, so that the fourth buckle 220 and the third buckle 320 are connected to limit the displacement of the decorative member 200 and the overflow prevention box 300 in the front-rear direction.
[0071] Further, in the up-down direction, the extending length of the avoidance hole 112 is greater than or equal to the extending length of the fourth buckle 220.
[0072] In this embodiment, the seventh buckle body 222 of the fourth buckle 220 extends downward, and the ninth buckle body 322 of the third buckle 320 extends upward. In this way, when the decorative member 200 and the overflow prevention box 300 are connected, the decorative member 200 can be moved downward, or the overflow prevention box 300 can be moved upward to insert the fourth buckle 220 into the third buckle 320, so that the decorative member 200 is connected to the overflow prevention box 300. After the foaming material foams, the foaming material can fix the overflow prevention box 300. In the up-down direction, the extending length of the avoidance hole 112 is greater than or equal to the extending length of the fourth buckle 220. When disassembling the decorative member 200, the decorative member 200 can be moved upward to disengage the fourth buckle 220 from the third buckle 320, and the fourth buckle 220 can be moved out of the front panel 110 through the avoidance hole 112. The decorative member 200 can be detachably connected to the cross beam 100 and the overflow prevention box 300, so that the decorative member 200 can be replaced or repaired. In this way, when the decorative member 200 has problems, only the decorative member 200 needs to be repaired or replaced, reducing the situation of replacing the entire cross beam 100 or being unable to repair, and reducing the user's maintenance cost. Or, when the decorative member 200 is provided with a decorative pattern and a new decorative pattern is required for the decorative member 200, the original decorative member 200 can also be disassembled and replaced with a decorative member 200 with a new decorative pattern.
[0073] In some alternative embodiments, as Figures 2 to 5 shown, the first buckle 120 includes a first buckle body 121, a second buckle body 122, and a third buckle body 123. The first end of the first buckle body 121 is connected to the lower side wall of the connection hole 111, and the second end of the first buckle body 121 extends to the rear side of the front panel 110. The first end of the second buckle body 122 is connected to the second end of the first buckle body 121, and the second end of the second buckle body 122 extends upward. The first end of the third buckle body 123 is connected to the second end of the second buckle body 122, and the second end of the third buckle body 123 extends obliquely upward in the direction facing the front panel 110.
[0074] In this embodiment, the first buckle 120 is connected to the lower side wall of the connection hole 111, and the first buckle 120 is located at the rear side of the front panel 110.
[0075] Optionally, the first buckle 120 is integrally formed with the front panel 110, and a part of the first panel is bent to form the first buckle 120.
[0076] Furthermore, the second buckle 210 includes a fourth buckle body 211 and a fifth buckle body 212. The first end of the fourth buckle body 211 is connected to the side wall of the decorative member 200 facing the front panel 110, and the second end of the fourth buckle body 211 extends in a direction away from the decorative member 200. The first end of the fifth buckle body 212 is connected to the second end of the fourth buckle body 211, and the second end of the fifth buckle body 212 extends downward.

The front side wall of the fifth buckle body 212 is the side wall of the fifth buckle body 212 facing the front panel 110, the rear side wall of the second buckle body 122 is the side wall of the second buckle body 122 facing away from the front panel 110, and the front side wall of the fifth buckle body 212 and the rear side wall of the second buckle body 122 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0078] In this embodiment, the second buckle body 122 extends upward, and the fifth buckle body 212 extends downward. In this way, the front side wall of the fifth buckle body 212 can be connected to the rear side wall of the second buckle body 122. The fifth buckle body 212 is located at the rear side of the second buckle body 122. The front side wall of the second buckle body 122 and the front panel 110 can limit the front-back movement of the second buckle 210, thereby limiting the front-back movement of the decorative member 200. The fourth buckle body 211 can overlap on the upper end portion of the third buckle body 123. In this way, the third buckle body 123 supports the fourth buckle body 211 to limit the downward movement of the decorative member 200.
[0079] In this embodiment, the fourth buckle body 211 can overlap on the upper end portion of the third buckle body 123, that is, the second buckle 210 moves downward relatively so that the second buckle 210 is cooperatively connected with the first buckle 120. The second end of the third buckle body 123 extends obliquely upward in a direction facing the front panel 110. In this way, during the downward movement of the second buckle 210, in the front-back direction, when the fifth buckle body 212 is arranged behind the second buckle body 122, the fifth buckle body 212 is first connected to the third buckle body 123. When the second buckle 210 continues to move downward, the third buckle body 123 is obliquely arranged, and the fifth buckle body 212 can be in contact with the third buckle body 123 and slide relative to the third buckle body 123. The third buckle body 123 can guide the fifth buckle body 212, facilitating the cooperative connection between the second buckle 210 and the first buckle 120, reducing the installation difficulty of the decorative member 200, and improving the installation accuracy of the decorative member 200.
[0080] In some alternative embodiments, in the up-down direction, the extension length of the connection hole 111 is greater than or equal to the sum of the extension lengths of the first buckle 120 and the second buckle 210.
[0081] In this embodiment, the fifth buckle body 212 of the second buckle 210 extends downward, and the second buckle body 122 of the first buckle 120 extends upward. In this way, when the decorative member 200 is connected to the front panel 110, the second buckle 210 can be first passed through the connection hole 111, and then the decorative member 200 is moved downward relative to the front panel 110, so that the second buckle 210 is stuck outside the first buckle 120, and the decorative member 200 is connected to the front panel 110.
[0082] In the up-down direction, the extension length of the connection hole 111 is greater than or equal to the sum of the extension lengths of the first buckle 120 and the second buckle 210, and the first buckle 120 is connected to the side wall of the connection hole 111 and extends upward. When disassembling the decorative member 200, the decorative member 200 can be moved upward, so that the second buckle 210 is disengaged from the first buckle 120, and the second buckle 210 can be moved out of the front panel 110 through the connection hole 111, and the decorative member 200 can be detachably connected to the cross beam 100, so that the decorative member 200 can be replaced or repaired. In this way, when the decorative member 200 has a problem, only the decorative member 200 needs to be repaired or replaced, reducing the situation of replacing the entire cross beam 100 or being unable to be repaired, and reducing the user's repair cost. Or, when the decorative member 200 is provided with a decorative pattern, when the decorative pattern of the decorative member 200 is needed, the original decorative member 200 can also be disassembled and a decorative member 200 with a new decorative pattern can be replaced.
[0083] Optionally, as Figures 3 to 5 shown, the number of the connection holes 111 is multiple, and the multiple connection holes 111 extend along the length direction of the front panel 110, and the length direction of the front panel 110 is the horizontal direction of the refrigerator. The number of the first buckles 120 and the number of the second buckles 210 are the same as the number of the connection holes 111 and correspond one by one.
[0084] When the cross beam assembly for the refrigerator includes the anti-overflow box 300, the number of the anti-overflow boxes 300 can be one, and one anti-overflow box 300 can cover multiple connection holes 111 at the same time. Or, the number of the anti-overflow boxes 300 is multiple, the number of the anti-overflow boxes 300 is less than the number of the connection holes 111, and each anti-overflow box 300 can respectively cover a part of the connection holes 111; or the number of the anti-overflow boxes 300 is multiple, the number of the anti-overflow boxes 300 is the same as the number of the connection holes 111 and corresponds one by one, and one anti-overflow box 300 can cover one connection hole 111.
[0085] Optionally, the decorative member 200 is convexly provided with a protrusion at the edge of the side wall facing the front panel 110 (i.e., the rear side wall of the decorative member 200), the protrusion abuts against the front side wall of the front panel 110, and there is a preset distance between the middle part of the side wall of the decorative member 200 facing the front panel 110 and the front side wall of the front panel 110. Optionally, the protrusions are located at the upper and lower ends of the side wall of the decorative member 200 facing the front panel 110.
[0086] In this embodiment, since the anti-overflow box 300 is provided, the situation of the foaming material overflowing from the connection hole 111 can be reduced. Through the protrusions provided at the edge of the decorative member 200, the preset distance between the decorative member 200 and the front panel 110 can be adjusted, so that the user's attention is focused on the decorative member 200, and the thickness of the decorative member 200 is reduced, the materials required for producing the decorative member 200 are reduced, and the production cost is reduced.
