The interior of the cabinet 1 defines a storage compartment 14, which can include a refrigeration compartment, a freezing compartment or a variable temperature compartment.

[0088] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The storage device of the embodiment of the application includes a cabinet 1, a door body 4 and a refrigeration unit 2.

[0089] The cabinet 1 defines a storage compartment 14, and the cabinet 1 is provided with a first mounting structure 13; the door body 4 is pivotally mounted on the cabinet 1, and the door body 4 is used to close the storage compartment 14; the refrigeration unit 2 is arranged in the storage compartment 14 and separates the storage compartment 14 into at least two cavities, and the refrigeration unit 2 is provided with a second mounting structure 24 for connecting with the first mounting structure 13.

[0090] The door body 4 can be connected to the side wall of the cabinet 1 in a pivot structure, and the door body 4 can be opened or closed relative to the cabinet 1 to close or open the storage compartment 14.

[0091] The storage compartment 14 can be separated into two or more cavities by the refrigeration unit 2, and the multiple cavities can be communicated with each other for classified storage of articles, facilitating quick access of the user; or the multiple cavities can be isolated, so that different cavities have different temperature control to meet the storage requirements of articles with different temperature requirements.

[0092] Among them, the refrigeration unit 2 can include multiple refrigeration sub-units, the multiple refrigeration sub-units can separate the storage compartment 14 into three or more cavities, and the multiple refrigeration sub-units can share a set of refrigeration components 23; or the refrigeration unit 2 is an integral whole, and the refrigeration unit 2 can separate the storage compartment 14 into a first compartment 141 and a second compartment 142.

[0093] The refrigeration unit 2 is used to generate cold air to maintain the low temperature of the storage compartment 14, and the refrigeration unit 2 includes an evaporator 231 and a fan and other refrigeration components 23, and the refrigeration unit 2 has a supply air port 211 and a return air port 212, both of which are communicated with the at least two cavities to realize the circulation of cold air in the storage compartment 14.

[0094] The refrigeration unit 2 can be put into the storage compartment 14 from the open end of the cabinet 1 and connected with the cabinet 1, and the refrigeration unit 2 can be connected with the cabinet 1 through at least one of plug-in connection, clamping and the like.

[0096] It should be noted that the production line of the storage equipment includes two parallel sub-production lines that can produce simultaneously, one of the two sub-production lines produces the refrigeration unit 2, and the other produces the cabinet 1. After the refrigeration unit 2 is produced and assembled, the refrigeration unit 2 production line intersects with the cabinet 1 production line, and the refrigeration unit 2 and the cabinet 1 are assembled. That is, the assembly of each refrigeration component in the refrigeration unit 2 is separated from the production line of the storage equipment, and the multiple beats of the assembly of the multiple refrigeration components with the cabinet 1 become the assembly of the two assemblies of the refrigeration unit 2 and the cabinet 1. Therefore, compared with a production line in which multiple components are sequentially assembled into a storage equipment, the two sub-production lines of the refrigeration unit 2 and the cabinet 1 are parallel and simultaneously produced, and the assembly of the two assemblies is performed, thereby improving the production efficiency and saving the production beats and personnel.

[0097] In the related art, the production line of the storage equipment is a production line in which all components in the storage equipment are sequentially assembled. Each component has a respective station, and multiple components need to be sequentially assembled by machines or personnel according to an installation beat to complete the production of one storage equipment. When the production line of the storage equipment is at a certain installation beat, the machines or personnel of other large number of installation stations are idle, causing waste of machines, personnel and beats.

[0098] According to the storage equipment provided in the embodiments of the present application, the refrigeration unit 2 can be assembled with the cabinet 1 through the second mounting structure 24 and the first mounting structure 13 of the cabinet 1. The assembly of each refrigeration component in the refrigeration unit 2 is separated from the production line of the storage equipment, and the multiple beats of the assembly of the multiple refrigeration components with the cabinet 1 become the assembly of the two assemblies of the refrigeration unit 2 and the cabinet 1, thereby improving the production efficiency and saving the production beats and personnel.

After the refrigeration unit 2 is assembled with the inner container 12, the beat of forming the thermal insulation layer 15 between the outer shell 11 and the inner container 12 is performed.

[0101] In this embodiment, since the return pipe group 233 in the refrigeration unit 2 needs to communicate with the compressor outside the inner container 12, the refrigeration unit 2 is assembled with the inner container 12 before the thermal insulation material is filled between the outer shell 11 and the inner container 12, so that part of the return pipe group 233 is located in the thermal insulation layer 15. The thermal insulation layer 15 can protect and fix part of the return pipe group 233 located therein, reduce the occupation of the storage compartment 14, and simplify the assembly process of the cabinet 1 and the refrigeration unit 2.

[0102] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 11 and Figure 14 , the cabinet 1 comprises an outer shell 11, an inner container 12, and a thermal insulation layer 15 between the outer shell 11 and the inner container 12, and the inner container 12 is provided with a through hole 121; the refrigeration unit 2 comprises a return pipe group 233, one end of the return pipe group 233 is used to pass through the through hole 121 and the thermal insulation layer 15 and communicate with the compressor.

After the assembly of the refrigeration unit 2 and the cabinet 1 is completed, the gap between the outer shell 11 and the inner container 12 is filled with thermal insulation material to form the thermal insulation layer 15, and part of the return pipe group 233 between the outer shell 11 and the inner container 12 is embedded in the thermal insulation layer 15. The thermal insulation layer 15 can protect and fix part of the return pipe group 233 located therein.

[0120] In the present embodiment, the first mounting structure 13 with different structures is formed by using different materials, so as to reduce the production difficulty and production cost.

[0121] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 22As shown, the side wall of the box body 1 is provided with a plurality of first mounting structures 13 arranged at intervals along the distribution direction of the plurality of cavities, and the refrigeration unit 2 is provided with a second mounting structure 24 for connecting with the first mounting structure 13, and the second mounting structure 24 is selectively connected with at least one of the plurality of first mounting structures 13.

[0122] Wherein, the connection of the second mounting structure 24 with different first mounting structures 13 can make the refrigeration unit 2 located at different positions in the storage compartment 14, so that the storage compartment 14 can be divided into a plurality of cavities with different capacities as needed.

[0123] In the embodiment, by arranging a plurality of first mounting structures 13 arranged at intervals along the distribution direction of the plurality of cavities, the refrigeration unit 2 can be moved along the distribution direction of the plurality of cavities to adjust the capacity of each cavity, thereby increasing the practicability.

[0124] In some embodiments, the box body 21 includes a front cover plate and a rear cover plate, which define a mounting cabin in which the support assembly and the refrigeration assembly 23 are located, and the front cover plate and the rear cover plate are detachably connected to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the support assembly and the refrigeration assembly 23.

[0125] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the refrigeration unit 2 includes a box body 21, a support assembly and a refrigeration assembly 23, the support assembly is arranged in the box body 21, and the refrigeration assembly 23 is mounted on the support assembly, and the outer side wall of the support assembly abuts against the inner side wall of the box body 21.

[0126] It can be understood that in the process of forming the heat preservation layer 15 of the box body 1, the foaming material expands, and the inner container 12 inevitably deforms towards the inside of the storage compartment 14, and the outer side wall of the support assembly abuts against the inner side wall of the box body 21. In the deformation process of the inner container 12, the support assembly generates a force resisting the deformation force of the inner container 12, which can reduce the deformation amount of the box body 21 and protect and fix the refrigeration assembly 23.

[0127] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the support assembly includes a heat insulation piece 221, a support body 222 and an air guide shell 223, the heat insulation piece 221 and the air guide shell 223 are arranged on both sides of the refrigeration assembly 23 along the second direction, and the support body 222 is arranged on the circumferential side of the refrigeration assembly 23 along the first direction and the third direction; the first direction is the normal direction of the opening surface of the storage compartment 14, and the third direction, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0128] In the embodiment, the at least two cavities are distributed along the second direction, and the refrigeration unit 2 is located between two adjacent cavities.

[0130] In some embodiments, the heat insulation member 221 and the support body 222 are structural foams, and the heat insulation member 221 and the support body 222 are designed to have a density of 45-55 kg / cm 3 , so as to effectively offset the force generated by the foaming material when foaming.

[0131] In some embodiments, the heat insulation member 221 is arranged between the refrigeration assembly 23 and the box body 21, and the heat insulation member 221 is provided with a first air avoiding opening and a second air avoiding opening. The return air opening 212 of the refrigeration unit 2 is communicated with the first air avoiding opening and the storage compartment 14, and the supply air opening 211 of the refrigeration unit 2 is communicated with the second air avoiding opening and the storage compartment 14.

[0132] The first air avoiding opening is arranged in position with the return air opening 212 of the refrigeration unit 2, so that the hot air in the cavity enters the box body 21 through the return air opening 212 to exchange heat with the refrigeration assembly 23. The second air avoiding opening is arranged in position with the supply air opening 211 of the refrigeration unit 2, so that the cold air generated by the refrigeration assembly 23 enters the cavity through the supply air opening 211 to maintain the low temperature in the cavity.

[0133] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 , the support body 222 includes a connecting piece 2221 and two support pieces 2222 arranged on the two sides of the connecting piece 2221 along the third direction.

The support piece 2222 is connected with the inner side wall of the box body 21.

[0134] The sliding groove 241 is arranged on the side walls of the two support pieces 2222 away from each other along the third direction.

[0135] In the embodiment, the two ends of the connecting piece 2221 abut against the opposite side walls of the two support pieces 2222. In the process of forming the heat preservation layer 15 of the cabinet 1, the connecting piece 2221 can limit the relative movement of the two support pieces 2222, thereby protecting the refrigeration assembly 23.

[0136] The support member 2222 cooperates with the air guide shell 223 to reduce damage to the refrigeration assembly 23 caused by squeezing in the first direction during the process of forming the thermal insulation layer 15 of the box body 1.

[0141] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 As shown, the air supply outlet 211 of the refrigeration unit 2 and the air return outlet 212 of the refrigeration unit 2 are distributed up and down along the first direction, and the air supply outlet 211 of the refrigeration unit 2 is located above the air return outlet 212 of the refrigeration unit 2 to further extend the circulation path of the cold air sent out from the air supply outlet 211 and improve the uniformity of the temperature in the cavity.

[0142] In some embodiments, the box body 21 is provided with an air supply port 211 and at least two air return ports 212; the air supply port 211 is connected to at least two cavities; the two air return ports 212 are arranged on both sides of the box body 21 along the second direction, one of the two air return ports 212 is connected to one of the two adjacent cavities in the at least two cavities, and the other of the two air return ports 212 is connected to the other of the two adjacent cavities in the at least two cavities.

[0146] In this embodiment, by providing a plurality of air outlets 211 , the number of air outlets 211 in each cavity is increased, which can increase the speed at which the cold air generated by the refrigeration assembly 23 is discharged into each cavity, thereby increasing the refrigeration efficiency.

[0147] In some embodiments, there are two air outlets 211 , which are respectively arranged on the side walls of the box body 21 opposite to each other along the third direction and close to the top of the box body 21 . Each air outlet 211 is connected to at least two cavities.

[0148] Among them, the two air supply ports 211 are respectively arranged on the side walls of the box body 21 which are arranged opposite to each other along the third direction, and the cold air can be discharged into each cavity from different directions. The air supply ports 211 are close to the top of the box body 21, so that the cold air discharged from the air supply ports 211 can naturally drop in the cavity, which can improve the temperature uniformity and cooling efficiency in each cavity and reduce energy consumption.

[0149] In some embodiments, the storage device further includes a controller and multiple temperature sensors, the multiple temperature sensors are connected to the controller, at least one temperature sensor is provided in each cavity, and the controller is connected to the refrigeration unit 2.

[0151] The following specifically describes the assembly process of the refrigeration unit 2:

[0152] First, as Figure 3 As shown, the heat insulating member 221 and a portion of the temperature sensor are installed at corresponding positions of the front cover of the box body 21 to obtain a semi-finished product A;

[0153] Second, if Figure 4 As shown, the evaporation fan 232 is installed at the corresponding position of the semi-finished product A to obtain the semi-finished product B;

[0154] Third, if Figure 5As shown, the return air pipe group 233 is connected and welded with the corresponding pipe of the evaporator 231 to obtain an assembly C of the evaporator 231.

[0155] Fourth, as shown in the drawings, the assembly C of the evaporator 231 is assembled with the connecting piece 2221 and the two supporting pieces 2222 according to the corresponding structure to obtain a semi-finished product D. Figure 6

[0161] In the present embodiment, the refrigeration assembly can form a sub-assembly line, which is produced simultaneously with the box body 1 production line. After the production and assembly of the refrigeration assembly are completed, the refrigeration assembly line intersects with the box body 1 line, the refrigeration assembly is assembled with the box body 1, and then the return air pipe group 233 and the back cover plate of the box body 21 are sequentially installed into the box body 1. That is, the assembly of the refrigeration assembly is separated from the production line of the storage device, and the multiple assembly beats of the multiple refrigeration components assembled with the box body 1 become the assembly of the four assemblies of the refrigeration assembly, the return air pipe group 233, the back cover plate of the box body 21 and the box body 1. Therefore, compared with the production line of the storage device assembled by multiple components, the two sub-assembly lines of the refrigeration assembly and the box body 1 are parallel and simultaneously produced, and then the assembly of the four assemblies is performed, which improves the production efficiency and saves the production beats and personnel.

[0162] The assembly process of the refrigeration assembly is specifically described as follows:

[0169] Seventh, install the connecting piece 2221 to the corresponding position in the semi-finished product F to complete the pre-assembly of the evaporator 231 compartment assembly.

[0170] In some embodiments, as shown in Figs. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 12 , the storage device further comprises a cabinet mouth 3 installed at the open end of the box body 1, and provided with an air duct cavity 34 having an air inlet 341 and an air outlet 342; the air inlet 341 is in communication with the refrigeration unit 2, and the air outlet 342 is in communication with at least two cavities.

In the case of providing multiple air outlets 342, the multiple air outlets 342 are arranged spaced apart along the extension direction of the air duct cavity 34, i.e. the multiple air outlets 342 are arranged around the circumference of the storage compartment 14, which can realize multiple air outlets 342 to blow cold air, four-side air cooling, high cooling efficiency and improve the uniformity of the temperature in the storage device.

[0174] In the related art, the air-cooled refrigerator increases the cost of the air duct structure, which mainly consists of an air duct cover plate and an air duct embedded cavity, increases the number of parts of the storage device, and prolongs the production cycle.

[0175] According to the storage equipment provided in the embodiments of the present application, the air duct cavity 34 is arranged in the cabinet opening 3, the air duct cavity 34 can be communicated with the refrigeration unit 2 and the plurality of cavities, the integration of the air duct structure and the cabinet opening 3 is realized, the conventional air duct cover plate and the air duct cavity 34 embedded part are cancelled, the structural design is simple, the process is simple, and the overall cost is reduced, the production rhythm is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0178] The air duct cavity 34 is jointly defined by the inner container 12 and the cabinet opening 3, and the cabinet opening 3 with the open end simplifies the production difficulty and reduces the cost compared with the cabinet opening 3 with the closed air duct cavity 34.

[0180] The end surface of the open end of the inner container 12 forms the at least two bending sections, the at least two bending sections can be continuously bent towards the inner side of the storage compartment 14, or can be continuously bent towards the side away from the storage compartment 14. The first wall 31, the top wall, and the second wall 33 jointly define the air duct cavity 34 with part of the at least two bending sections, that is, the inner container 12 and the cabinet opening 3 jointly define the air duct cavity 34.

[0181] In the present embodiment, the at least two bending sections that are sequentially connected and relatively bent can be integrally formed, by arranging that the first wall 31 and the second wall 33 are connected with different sections of the at least two bending sections, multi-point connection is realized, the stability of the connection between the two can be increased, and

[0182] The inner container 12 can be made of at least the following two materials:

[0183] First, the inner container 12 can be a plastic piece, and the plastic piece can be made of PS or ABS plate material. The inner container 12 can be integrally formed by plastic piece adsorption.

[0184] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 20 The at least two bending sections include a first section 1221, a second section 1222, a third section 1223, and a fourth section 1224 connected in sequence. The first section 1221 is bent outward relative to the side wall of the inner container 12. The second section 1222 is bent upward relative to the first section 1221. The third section 1223 is bent outward relative to the second section 1222. The fourth section 1224 is bent upward relative to the third section 1223.

The fourth section 1224 is connected to the second wall 33.

[0185] In the present embodiment, the first section 1221 and the second section 1222 form an avoidance groove relative to the side wall of the inner container 12. The top wall of the avoidance groove and the side wall facing the storage compartment 14 are open. At least part of the first wall 31 is located in the avoidance groove. The side of the first wall 31 facing the storage compartment 14 is flush with the inner side of the inner container 12, recessed relative to the inner side of the inner container 12, or slightly convex relative to the inner side of the inner container 12, which can reduce the occupation of the first wall 31 to the volume of the storage compartment 14. The first wall 31 is connected to the second section 1222, and the connection mode can be clamping or plug-in connection.

[0186] The bottom wall of the first wall 31 can be abutted or connected to the first section 1221. The first section 1221 supports the first wall 31, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the cabinet opening 3 and the cabinet 1.

[0188] When the fourth section 1224 is connected to the inner wall of the second wall 33, the third section 1223 integrally forms the bottom wall of the air duct cavity 34, which can reduce the occupation of the second wall 33 to the air duct cavity 34 and improve the ventilation efficiency of the air duct cavity 34.

[0189] When the fourth section 1224 is connected to the outer wall of the second wall 33, part of the third section 1223 forms the bottom wall of the air duct cavity 34, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the cabinet opening 3 and the cabinet 1.

[0190] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 20 and Figure 21As shown, the second section 1222 is provided with a first connecting structure 1231, the first wall 31 is provided with a second connecting structure 1232, and the first connecting structure 1231 and the second connecting structure 1232 are snap-fitted; or, the fourth section 1224 is provided with a third connecting structure 1233, the second wall 33 is provided with a fourth connecting structure 1235, and the third connecting structure 1233 and the fourth connecting structure 1235 are snap-fitted.

[0192] In this embodiment, the first wall 31 and the second wall 33 are respectively engaged with the inner container 12 , thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the cabinet opening 3 and the inner container 12 and achieving a quick connection.

[0193] The connection structure between the first connection structure 1231 and the second connection structure 1232 and the connection structure between the third connection structure 1233 and the fourth connection structure 1235 may be the same as or different from each other.

[0194] In some embodiments, one of the first connection structure 1231 and the second connection structure 1231 is a slot structure or a hole structure, and the other of the first connection structure 1231 and the second connection structure 1231 is a slider. The open end of the slot structure faces the storage compartment 14, and the slider has a connecting surface and a guide surface, and the guide surface is arranged at an acute angle with the connecting surface.

[0195] For example, Figure 21 As shown, the first connecting structure 1231 is a groove structure or a hole structure, and the second connecting structure 1232 is a slider. The slider has a connected clamping surface and a guide surface. The guide surface is set at an acute angle to the first wall 31 so that the second connecting structure 1232 can slide smoothly into the groove structure or the hole structure. The clamping surface is set at a right angle or an obtuse angle to the first wall 31. The clamping surface is clamped with the groove structure or the hole structure to reduce the risk of the second connecting structure 1232 falling off from the first connecting structure 1231.

[0196] For example, the second connecting structure 1232 is a groove structure or a hole structure, the first connecting structure 1231 is a slider, the slider has a connected clamping surface and a guide surface, the guide surface is set at an obtuse angle to the second section 1222 so that the first connecting structure 1231 can slide smoothly into the groove structure or the hole structure, the clamping surface is set at a right angle or an acute angle to the second section 1222, and the clamping surface is clamped with the groove structure or the hole structure to reduce the risk of the first connecting structure 1231 falling off from the second connecting structure 1232.

[0197] Secondly, the inner container 12 can be a sheet metal part, and the sheet metal part can be made of an aluminum plate, a PCM plate, or a stainless steel plate. The inner container 12 can be formed by stamping the sheet metal part.

[0198] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17 , the at least two bending sections include a fifth section 1225 and a sixth section 1226. The fifth section 1225 is bent outward relative to the side wall of the inner container 12, and the sixth section 1226 is bent upward relative to the fifth section 1225. The fifth section 1225 forms part of the wall surface of the air duct cavity 34, and the fifth section 1225 is connected to the first wall 31. The sixth section 1226 is connected to the second wall 33.

Part of the fifth section 1225 forms part of the wall surface of the air duct cavity 34.

[0200] It should be noted that fewer bending sections are provided on the sheet metal part, which can reduce the damage to the structural strength, and at the same time, the number of stamping of the sheet metal part can be reduced, and the production cost and production difficulty can be reduced.

[0201] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15 , the inner container 12 further includes a corner sealing piece 129. The corner sealing piece 129 is arranged at the corner between the two adjacent walls of the open end of the inner container 12. The corner sealing piece 129 is connected to the cabinet opening 3 and the inner container 12, respectively. Part of the wall surface of the corner sealing piece 129 is used to form part of the wall surface of the air duct cavity 34.

[0202] It can be understood that the end of the inner container 12 forms a gap 1227 at the corner between the two adjacent walls during the stamping and bending process. The corner sealing piece 129 is used to connect the two adjacent walls to fill the gap 1227. The corner sealing piece 129, the inner container 12, and the cabinet opening 3 jointly define the air duct cavity 34.

[0203] The corner sealing piece 129 can be connected to the outer side wall of the inner container 12, or to the inner side wall of the inner container 12. The actual structure can be installed according to the actual structure.

[0204] The projection of the corner sealing piece 129 coincides with part of the projection of the open end of the inner container 12 in the first direction.
