[0116] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0117] This application aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the related art. To this end, this application proposes a refrigerator that allows the back of the refrigerator to fit more closely against the wall.

[0118] The following is for reference. Figures 1-10 Refrigerator 1 according to an embodiment of this application is described.

[0119] like Figure 1As shown, the refrigerator 1 includes: an outer shell 10, an inner liner, an insulation layer, and a compressor. The outer shell 10 includes a top plate 110, a side plate 120, a back plate 130, and a bottom plate 140. The outer shell 10 forms a compressor compartment 20. The inner liner is installed inside the outer shell 10 to form a compartment. The insulation layer is formed between the outer shell 10 and the inner liner. The compressor is installed in the compressor compartment 20.

[0120] The outer shell 10 can be composed of a top plate 110, a side plate 120, a back plate 130 and a bottom plate 140. The main function of the outer shell 10 is to provide support and physical protection for the internal structure of the refrigerator 1.

[0121] The inner liner is the internal storage space of the refrigerator 1, usually made of materials such as plastic or stainless steel. The inner liner is installed inside the outer shell 10 to form a compartment. The compartment is mainly used to provide storage space for items and to store different types of items through a reasonable layout.

[0122] For example, the inner liner may be equipped with partitions or drawers to divide the compartments for easy classification and management of items.

[0123] The gap between the outer shell 10 and the inner liner can serve as the installation space for the insulation layer. The insulation layer is usually made of polyurethane foam or other high-efficiency heat insulation materials to reduce the heat exchange between the inside of the refrigerator 1 and the external environment, enhance the heat preservation effect of the refrigerator 1, and thus improve the energy efficiency of the refrigerator 1.

[0124] The outer casing 10 also forms a compressor compartment 20, which is mainly used to house components such as the compressor that generate noise during operation, and effectively isolates noise to maintain the low-noise operation of the refrigerator 1.

[0125] The compressor is the core component of the refrigerator 1 refrigeration system. It is usually installed in the compressor compartment 20. The compressor regulates the internal temperature of the refrigerator 1 by continuously compressing and releasing the refrigerant. Specifically, the compressor is mainly used to compress the refrigerant and deliver it to the condenser through the refrigeration system. Then the refrigerant is delivered from the condenser to the evaporator, where it releases heat and lowers the internal temperature of the refrigerator 1.

[0126] The refrigeration system of refrigerator 1 relies on the operation of the compressor. The compressor generates heat when it is working. A heat dissipation vent connected to the compressor compartment 20 is provided on the outer shell 10 of refrigerator 1 to help the heat in the compressor compartment 20 dissipate quickly.

[0127] Specifically, at least one of the top plate 110, side plate 120 and bottom plate 140 adjacent to the compressor compartment 20 is provided with a heat dissipation vent that connects to the compressor compartment 20. That is, the heat dissipation vent can be located at at least one of the top, side and bottom of the refrigerator 1. The heat dissipation vent can connect the compressor compartment 20 to the outside, so that the hot air in the compressor compartment 20 can be quickly released to the outside through the heat dissipation vent, thereby reducing the risk of excessive temperature in the compressor area and maintaining the efficient operation of the compressor.

[0128] It should be noted that designing the heat dissipation vents in a position adjacent to the compressor compartment 20, rather than the traditional rear, allows for better utilization of the refrigerator 1's spatial layout and reduces the limitations of traditional rear air outlets.

[0129] In addition, the lower part of the outer shell 10 of the refrigerator 1 is recessed on at least one side in the direction of the opening of the refrigerator 1 to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open in the direction away from the compartment on the side where it is located, at both ends on the side where it is located and downward, which can provide suitable placement space for components such as baseboards, thereby optimizing the spatial layout of the back of the refrigerator 1 and reducing the gap between the back of the refrigerator 1 and the wall.

[0130] Among them, the clearance groove 150 is the area that is recessed forward on the back of the refrigerator 1. Its shape and size can be designed according to actual needs. The clearance groove 150 is open in the direction away from the compartment on the side where it is located, and at both ends of the side where it is located and downward. That is, the clearance groove 150 is open backward on the back of the refrigerator 1, the clearance groove 150 is open to the left and right on the side of the refrigerator 1, and the clearance groove 150 is open downward at the bottom of the refrigerator 1.

[0131] In the above description, the clearance groove 150 runs through the side of the refrigerator 1 and is open at the back and bottom. The baseboard is usually closely connected to the wall and located at the back of the refrigerator 1. Setting the clearance groove 150 at the rear of the refrigerator 1 can provide appropriate space for components such as the baseboard, thereby reducing the occupation of additional space.

[0132] The refrigeration system of refrigerator 1 relies on the operation of the compressor, which generates heat during operation. Therefore, heat dissipation vents are usually installed on the compressor compartment 20 of refrigerator 1. However, refrigerator 1 in related technologies is usually rear-exhaust type. Rear-exhaust refrigerator 1 leaves a certain gap between the back and the wall for heat dissipation and air circulation, which makes it impossible for the back of refrigerator 1 to be flush against the wall, affecting the user experience and leaving room for improvement.

[0133] This application provides an clearance groove 150 on the back of the refrigerator 1 to provide appropriate installation space for components such as baseboards. This can reduce unnecessary gaps between the refrigerator 1 and the wall, allowing the back of the refrigerator 1 to fit more tightly against the wall, which helps to reduce the tilting or shaking of the refrigerator 1 caused by instability.

[0134] According to the refrigerator 1 provided in the embodiment of this application, by providing an avoidance groove 150 on the back of the refrigerator 1, unnecessary gaps between the refrigerator 1 and the wall can be reduced, so that the back of the refrigerator 1 fits more tightly against the wall.

[0135] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the back panel 130 is provided with a reinforcing structure 160, which is recessed toward the opening of the refrigerator 1.

[0136] In this embodiment, certain portions of the back panel 130 of the refrigerator 1 are recessed toward the interior of the refrigerator 1 to form a reinforcing structure 160. For example, the reinforcing structure 160 can be a groove or a protrusion. The recessed area is formed by stamping. The shape of the recess can include vertical strips and circles, etc. At the same time, the reinforcing structures 160 are spaced apart to increase the mechanical strength of the back panel 130.

[0137] The reinforcing structure 160 can improve the overall strength of the back panel 130 without increasing its thickness, thereby reducing deformation or damage caused by uneven stress or external impact. The reinforcing structure 160 on the back panel 130 is recessed towards the inside of the refrigerator 1, which can optimize the spatial layout of the back panel 130 of the refrigerator 1, thereby reducing the gap between the back panel 130 of the refrigerator 1 and the wall, and helping the majority of the back panel 130 to abut against the wall.

[0138] Understandably, the back panel 130 is provided with a reinforcing structure 160 and is recessed forward, which can combine the dual advantages of structural enhancement and space optimization, thereby improving the overall strength and stability of the outer shell 10 and effectively optimizing the external space layout of the refrigerator 1.

[0139] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the back panel 130 is provided with a connecting structure 170 that is connected to the structural components of the refrigerator 1, and the connecting structure 170 is recessed toward the opening of the refrigerator 1.

[0140] The connecting structure 170 is the connection part between the back panel 130 and the structural components of the refrigerator 1. Through this connecting structure 170, the back panel 130 can be more firmly combined with the structural components of the refrigerator 1, while the structural components form the compressor compartment 20.

[0141] For example, the connection structure 170 typically uses bolts, clips, welding or plug-in to fix the back plate 130 to other important components of the refrigerator 1 in order to maintain the stability of the refrigerator 1 during use.

[0142] In addition, the connecting structure 170 is recessed into the refrigerator 1 to form a certain concave structure, which can embed the connecting structure 170 into the interior of the refrigerator 1 or into the surface depth of the back panel 130 without increasing the external space occupied, thus helping to enhance the connection strength between the back panel 130 and the structural components.

[0143] In this embodiment, the compressor chamber 20 can be at least one of the following structural forms:

[0144] Firstly, the compressor compartment is located at the bottom.

[0145] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, when the compressor compartment 20 is placed at the bottom, the connecting structure 170 includes a first connecting structure 171 and a second connecting structure 172. The first connecting structure 171 is used to connect the back plate 130 and the bottom plate 140, and the second connecting structure 172 is used to connect the back plate 130 and the bottom support beam 230 of the compressor compartment 20, thereby forming a frame of the structural component. At the same time, both the first connecting structure 171 and the second connecting structure 172 protrude in the direction of the insulation layer. The insulation layer is located inside the refrigerator 1, that is, both the first connecting structure 171 and the second connecting structure 172 protrude in the direction of the refrigerator 1.

[0146] For example, the first connecting structure 171 can be a snap-fit ​​structure. The first connecting structure 171 protrudes into the refrigerator 1 to form a snap-fit ​​installation space. After the snap-fit ​​on the base plate 140 is snapped into the first connecting structure 171, the snap-fit ​​still does not protrude from the back plate 130.

[0147] For example, the second connection structure 172 can be a threaded structure. The second connection structure 172 protrudes into the refrigerator 1 to form a concave threaded interface. The base plate 140 is provided with a connection hole that matches the threaded interface. When the bolt passes through the back plate 130 and the base plate 140 and is installed on the second connection structure 172, the bolt does not protrude from the back plate 130.

[0148] It is understandable that the different connection structures 170 work together to form part of the structural component. At the same time, the first connection structure 171 and the second connection structure 172 both protrude in the direction of the insulation layer, so as not to increase the external space occupied by the back plate 130.

[0149] Secondly, the compressor compartment is located on top.

[0150] In this embodiment, when the compressor compartment 20 is on top, the connecting structure 170 includes a first connecting structure 171 and a second connecting structure 172. The first connecting structure 171 is used to connect the back plate 130 and the top plate 110, and the second connecting structure 172 is used to connect the back plate 130 and the bottom support beam 230 of the compressor compartment 20, thereby forming a frame of the structural component. At the same time, both the first connecting structure 171 and the second connecting structure 172 protrude in the direction of the insulation layer. The insulation layer is located inside the refrigerator 1, that is, both the first connecting structure 171 and the second connecting structure 172 protrude in the direction of the refrigerator 1.

[0151] For example, the first connecting structure 171 can be a snap-fit ​​structure. The first connecting structure 171 protrudes into the refrigerator 1 to form a snap-fit ​​installation space. After the snap-fit ​​on the top plate 110 is snapped into the first connecting structure 171, the snap-fit ​​still does not protrude from the back plate 130.

[0152] For example, the second connection structure 172 can be a threaded structure. The second connection structure 172 protrudes into the refrigerator 1 to form a concave threaded interface. The top plate 110 is provided with a connection hole that matches the threaded interface. When the bolt passes through the back plate 130 and the top plate 110 and is installed on the second connection structure 172, the bolt does not protrude from the back plate 130.

[0153] It is understandable that the different connection structures 170 work together to form part of the structural component. At the same time, the first connection structure 171 and the second connection structure 172 both protrude in the direction of the insulation layer, so as not to increase the external space occupied by the back plate 130.

[0154] In some embodiments, when the compressor compartment 20 is formed at the bottom of the outer casing 10, the back panel 130 may include a back panel 130 body and a compressor compartment rear cover, the compressor compartment rear cover having a connecting structure 170 connected to a structural member of the refrigerator 1, the connecting structure 170 being recessed forward.

[0155] At this time, the compressor compartment rear cover is located at the bottom of the back plate 130, and the back plate 130 body is located at the top of the back plate 130. After the compressor compartment rear cover and the back plate 130 body are connected, the back plate 130 integral structure is formed. At the same time, the structural components of the refrigerator 1 are connected to the compressor compartment rear cover and the bottom plate 140 through the connecting structure 170 to form the compressor compartment 20.

[0156] For example, the connection structure 170 may include a first connection structure 171 and a second connection structure 172. The compressor compartment rear cover and the bottom plate 140 are connected through the first connection structure 171, and the compressor compartment rear cover and the bottom support beam 230 of the compressor compartment 20 are connected through the second connection structure 172, thereby forming a frame of the structural components.

[0157] In addition, the connecting structure 170 is recessed into the refrigerator 1 to form a certain concave structure, which can embed the connecting structure 170 into the interior of the refrigerator 1 or into the surface depth of the back panel 130 without increasing the external space occupied, thus helping to enhance the connection strength between the back panel 130 and the structural components.

[0158] In some embodiments, the vertical distance from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1 is ΔH1, which satisfies: ΔH1≤150mm.

[0159] In this embodiment, the bottom of the outer shell 10 of the refrigerator 1 is recessed forward at the rear end to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, side and bottom, which can provide suitable placement space for components such as baseboards, thereby optimizing the spatial layout of the back of the refrigerator 1 and reducing the gap between the back of the refrigerator 1 and the wall.

[0160] Specifically, the clearance groove 150 is a recessed area at the rear end of the refrigerator 1. The clearance groove 150 runs through the side of the refrigerator 1 and is open at the back and bottom. The baseboard is usually installed at the back of the refrigerator 1 and is tightly connected to the wall. Setting the clearance groove 150 at the rear end of the refrigerator 1 can provide appropriate space for components such as the baseboard, thereby reducing the occupation of extra space.

[0161] The cross-section of the clearance groove 150 along the direction perpendicular to the side panel 120 of the refrigerator 1 is an inverted L-shape. The vertical distance ΔH1 from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1 is the length of the clearance groove 150 along the height direction of the back panel 130, and the size range of ΔH1 is 120mm to 150mm.

[0162] For example, when the vertical distance from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1 is too small, such as ΔH1<120mm, the clearance groove 150 will not match the baseboard, thus making it impossible to install the refrigerator 1.

[0163] For example, when the vertical distance from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1 is too large, such as ΔH1>150mm, space will be wasted and the overall capacity utilization of the refrigerator 1 will be affected.

[0164] Understandably, setting the vertical distance from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1 within a certain size range can give the refrigerator 1 enough space to accommodate the internal components while reducing the occupation of additional space.

[0165] In some embodiments, the height of the refrigerator 1 is H, the vertical distance from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1 is ΔH1, the horizontal dimension of the clearance groove 150 is a, the line connecting the vertex of the refrigerator 1 near the wall and the vertex of the clearance groove 150 near the opening of the refrigerator 1 is defined as the back tilt reference line, the angle between the back tilt reference line and the vertical direction is defined as the back tilt reference angle, the back tilt reference angle is α, tanα=a / (H-ΔH1), satisfying: 0.1°≤α≤1.5°.

[0166] In related technologies, most refrigerators are not mounted against the wall, making it difficult to judge the severity of the refrigerator's tilt by the gap between the refrigerator and the wall. This application uses whether the refrigerator is mounted against the wall as the basis for adjusting the adjustable feet 30. That is, by adjusting the adjustable feet 30 until the top of the refrigerator 1 is mounted against the wall, the degree of backward tilt of the refrigerator 1 is reduced while achieving the state where the refrigerator 1 is mounted against the wall in different installation scenarios.

[0167] It should be noted that when the top of refrigerator 1 is against the wall, refrigerator 1 may actually be in a vertical position or tilted backward.

[0168] In this embodiment, the height of the refrigerator 1 is H, the vertical distance from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1 is ΔH1, the length of the top wall of the clearance groove 150 in the front-back direction is a, and the line connecting the top of the back of the refrigerator 1 near the wall and the top of the clearance groove 150 near the opening of the refrigerator 1 is defined as the back tilt reference line.

[0169] When the back of refrigerator 1 is against the wall and refrigerator 1 is in a vertical position, the angle between the tilt reference line and the vertical direction is defined as the tilt reference angle. At this time, the angle between the tilt reference line and the outer surface of the back of refrigerator 1 is equal to the tilt reference angle α.

[0170] When the back of refrigerator 1 is against the wall and refrigerator 1 is tilted backward, the angle between the tilt reference line and the vertical direction is defined as the tilt reference angle. At this time, the angle between the tilt reference line and the outer surface of the back of refrigerator 1 is less than the tilt reference angle α.

[0171] For example, taking an under-sink refrigerator as an example, when the height H of the refrigerator 1 is 0.9m, the vertical distance ΔH1 from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1 is 150mm, and the horizontal dimension a of the clearance groove 150 is 14mm, tanα is 0.018, and the back tilt reference angle α is 1.1°.

[0172] For example, taking a conventional refrigerator as an example, when the height H of the refrigerator 1 is 1.6m, the vertical distance ΔH1 from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1 is 150mm, and the horizontal dimension a of the clearance groove 150 is 14mm, tanα is 0.01, and the back tilt reference angle α is 0.6°.

[0173] For example, taking a conventional refrigerator as an example, when the height H of the refrigerator 1 is 1.8m, the vertical distance ΔH1 from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1 is 120mm, and the horizontal dimension a of the clearance groove 150 is 14mm, tanα is 0.008, and the back tilt reference angle α is 0.45°.

[0174] It is understandable that by controlling the backward tilt reference angle α within a certain range, the backward tilt of refrigerator 1 can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of severe tilting of refrigerator 1.

[0175] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, refrigerator 1 has adjustable feet 30. When the adjustable feet 30 are adjusted to the minimum position, the vertical distance from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the adjustable feet 30 is ΔH2, and the maximum adjustment height difference of the adjustable feet 30 is ΔH3, satisfying: ΔH2≥90mm, 15mm≤ΔH3≤45mm.

[0176] In this embodiment, the adjustable feet 30 are height adjustment devices at the bottom of the refrigerator 1. The adjustable feet 30 can be used to adjust the horizontal height of the refrigerator 1 and can also be used to maintain balance on uneven ground.

[0177] For example, when the refrigerator 1 is installed on a level surface, the multiple adjustable feet 30 can be adjusted to the same height to adjust the level of the refrigerator 1. When the refrigerator 1 is installed on an uneven surface, the multiple adjustable feet 30 can be adjusted to different heights to keep the refrigerator 1 balanced on the uneven surface.

[0178] With the adjustable foot 30 adjusted to the minimum position, the vertical distance ΔH2 from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the adjustable foot 30 satisfies: ΔH2≥90mm, and the vertical distance from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1 is ΔH1≥120mm, ΔH2>ΔH1, that is, the vertical distance ΔH2 from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the adjustable foot 30 is ≥120mm.

[0179] Furthermore, the maximum adjustment height difference of the adjustable foot 30 is ΔH3, which satisfies: 15mm≤ΔH3≤45mm. Therefore, when the adjustable foot 30 is adjusted to the maximum position, the vertical distance ΔH2 from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the adjustable foot 30 satisfies: ΔH2≥135mm.

[0180] Understandably, the adjustable feet 30 can be adjusted according to different usage environments. The height adjustment capability within a certain range allows the refrigerator 1 to flexibly cope with various application situations, thereby improving the adaptability of the refrigerator 1.

[0181] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a wiring channel 210 is provided above the clearance groove 150, and the cables of the refrigerator 1 are led out from the wiring channel 210 to the outside of the refrigerator 1.

[0182] In this embodiment, the wiring channel 210 is a channel designed inside the refrigerator 1 for placing and guiding electrical components such as cables or wires. The wiring channel 210 is located above the top wall of the clearance groove 150, which can provide an orderly and safe path so that the cables inside the refrigerator 1 can be led out from the wiring channel 210 and safely transmitted to the outside of the refrigerator 1 to connect to the power supply or external equipment, reducing interference between the cables and other components inside the refrigerator 1.

[0183] Understandably, the wiring channel 210 can effectively manage the cables inside the refrigerator 1 and reduce potential hazards caused by electrical faults or exposed cables.

[0184] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the bottom of the side surface of the refrigerator 1 has a notch 121 at the rear end, and the bottom of the back panel 130 is bent forward to the notch 121 to form a clearance groove 150.

[0185] In this embodiment, the notch 121 at the bottom rear end of the side panel 120 of the refrigerator 1 makes the area at the bottom of the side panel 120 not completely closed, thereby forming a certain space. At the same time, the bottom of the back panel 130 bends forward to the position of the notch 121 to form the top wall of the clearance groove 150, that is, the clearance groove 150 is open at the back, side and bottom.

[0186] Understandably, the notch 121 at the bottom of the side panel 120 and the bent design at the bottom of the back panel 130 can make full use of the space at the bottom of the refrigerator 1, so that the bottom area is not limited to a straight and closed design, thereby improving the operability of the refrigerator 1.

[0187] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the refrigerator 1 also includes a mounting piece 220, which is installed at the notch 121, and the side of the back panel 130 facing the opening is flush with the side of the mounting piece 220 facing away from the opening.

[0188] In this embodiment, the mounting component 220 is the main component in the refrigerator 1 structure used to form the compressor compartment 20. The mounting component 220, together with the back plate 130 and the bottom plate 140 in the outer shell 10 of the refrigerator 1, forms the compressor compartment 20 that accommodates the compressor.

[0189] Specifically, the mounting component 220 is installed at the bottom of the side panel 120 at the notch 121 at the rear end, and cooperates with the side panel 120 to form the side of the refrigerator 1. At the same time, the back of the mounting component 220 is attached to the back panel 130 and tightly connected to reduce the loosening or displacement of the mounting component 220 during use.

[0190] Understandably, the mounting component 220 is attached to the back of the back panel 130, which can make the back panel 130 more stable and reduce the possibility of the back panel 130 loosening or deforming due to long-term use or external force.

[0191] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting component 220 includes a first part 221 and a second part 222 connected from top to bottom. The back side of the first part 221 protrudes rearward relative to the second part 222. The back plate 130 is attached to the back side of the first part 221 and the back side of the second part 222. The downward stepped surface between the first part 221 and the second part 222 of the mounting component 220 is spaced apart from the back plate 130 to form a wiring channel 210. The cables of the refrigerator 1 are led out from the wiring channel 210 to the outside of the refrigerator 1.

[0192] Specifically, the back side of the first part 221 protrudes rearward relative to the second part 222, that is, the thickness of the first part 221 is greater than that of the second part 222. A stepped structure is formed between the first part 221 and the second part 222. At the same time, the back plate 130 is attached to the back side of the first part 221 and the back side of the second part 222. The back plate 130 is bent at the stepped structure, which also forms a stepped structure. The stepped structure formed by the back plate 130 is the wall surface of the clearance groove 150, and the downward stepped surface between the first part 221 and the second part 222 is separated from the back plate 130.

[0193] The first part 221 is fully attached to the back plate 130 in the height direction, and the back plate 130 extends on the back of the first part 221 in the height direction. The second part 222 is partially attached to the back plate 130 in the height direction. The part of the second part 222 that is not attached to the back plate 130 and the extension of the back plate 130 outside the first part 221 form a wiring channel 210.

[0194] The wiring channel 210 is a channel designed inside the refrigerator 1 for placing and guiding electrical components such as cables or wires. The wiring channel 210 is located above the top wall of the clearance groove 150 and can provide an orderly and safe path, allowing the cables inside the refrigerator 1 to be led out from the wiring channel 210 and safely transmitted to the outside of the refrigerator 1 to connect to power sources or external devices, reducing interference between cables and other components inside the refrigerator 1.

[0195] Understandably, the mounting component 220 and the back panel 130 form a wiring channel 210, which can effectively manage the cables inside the refrigerator 1 and reduce potential dangers caused by electrical faults or exposed cables.

[0196] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the refrigerator 1 is provided with a bottom support beam 230, and the mounting part 220 is snapped into the bottom support beam 230.

[0197] In this embodiment, the bottom support beam 230 is a support structure located at the bottom of the refrigerator 1. For example, the bottom support beam 230 can be an angle steel, which serves to connect the bottom plate 140 and the back plate 130, and helps to improve the stability of the refrigerator 1 and reduce the tilting or imbalance of the refrigerator 1 due to uneven force.

[0198] In addition, the snap-fit ​​connection method can improve the connection strength between the bottom support beam 230 and the box body, and reduce loosening problems caused by vibration, impact or external force.

[0199] Understandably, the mounting component 220 is connected to the bottom support beam 230 by a snap-fit ​​mechanism, which is easy to install. The bottom support beam 230 and the mounting component 220 work together to form a coordinated combination structure, which can enhance the stability of the bottom support beam 230.

[0200] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mounting component 220 includes a first part 221 and a second part 222 connected from top to bottom. The back side of the first part 221 protrudes rearward relative to the second part 222. At least one of the first part 221 and the second part 222 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure 223 connected to the bottom support beam 230.

[0201] In this embodiment, the back side of the first part 221 protrudes rearward relative to the second part 222, that is, the thickness of the first part 221 is greater than that of the second part 222, and a step-like structure is formed between the first part 221 and the second part 222.

[0202] Meanwhile, at least one of the first part 221 and the second part 222 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure 223 connected to the bottom support beam 230. For example, the snap-fit ​​structure 223 can be a buckle, which may include two elastic arms.

[0203] The first part 221 or the second part 222 may be provided with a snap-fit ​​structure 223, or both the first part 221 and the second part 222 may be provided with a snap-fit ​​structure 223. When both the first part 221 and the second part 222 are provided with a snap-fit ​​structure 223, the snap-fit ​​structures 223 are spaced apart along the height direction and match the part of the bottom support beam 230 that extends along the height direction. The snap-fit ​​structure 223 of each part functions independently, thereby achieving uniform connection between each part of the mounting component 220 and the bottom support beam 230.

[0204] It is understandable that the first part 221 and the second part 222 are connected to the bottom support beam 230 through the snap-fit ​​structure 223, which can increase the connection strength and improve the overall stability of the equipment.

[0205] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mounting component 220 has a forward-opening perforated groove 224.

[0206] In this embodiment, the hollow groove 224 is a plurality of recessed structures opened on the mounting member 220. The opening of the hollow groove 224 faces forward and is open, which helps the mounting member 220 to cooperate with the bottom support beam 230.

[0207] Specifically, the mounting component 220 includes a first part 221 and a second part 222 connected from top to bottom. The back of the first part 221 protrudes rearward relative to the second part 222, and the hollow groove 224 of the first part 221 is deeper than that of the second part 222, so that the wall thickness of the first part 221 is the same as that of the second part 222, thereby reducing the weight of the mounting component 220 while enhancing the overall stability of the mounting component 220.

[0208] In addition, the snap-fit ​​structure 223 is disposed on the bottom wall of the hollow groove 224 and extends forward in a direction perpendicular to the bottom wall, and the length of the snap-fit ​​structure 223 of the first part 221 is greater than that of the snap-fit ​​structure 223 of the second part 222.

[0209] Understandably, the forward-opening slot 224 can reduce weight while improving the ease of connection and installation, and can also enhance the stability and reliability of the mounting component 220.

[0210] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the rear end of the base plate 140 has an upwardly folded base plate flange 141, the bottom of the refrigerator 1 is provided with a bottom support beam 230, the back plate 130, the base plate flange 141 and the bottom support beam 230 have an overlapping area and are connected in the overlapping area, and the mounting member 220 is provided with a clearance opening 225 for avoiding the base plate flange 141.

[0211] In this embodiment, the bottom plate flange 141 is located at the rear end of the bottom plate 140 of the refrigerator 1 and is folded upward. The bottom plate flange 141 has a certain angle or shape, which is used to connect the bottom plate 140 with other structures. It can also enhance the bending resistance of the bottom plate 140 and reduce the deformation of the bottom plate 140 caused by the refrigerator 1 bearing heavy objects or long-term use.

[0212] For example, the back plate 130, the bottom plate flange 141, and the bottom support beam 230 can overlap in various ways, such as the back plate 130, the bottom plate flange 141, and the bottom support beam 230 overlapping sequentially from back to front, or the bottom plate flange 141, the back plate 131, and the bottom support beam 230 overlapping sequentially from back to front.

[0213] The back panel 130, the bottom plate flange 141, and the bottom support beam 230 have overlapping areas and are connected in the overlapping areas, which can improve the overall stability and strength of the refrigerator 1. At the same time, the overlapping connection can provide additional structural support, so that the back panel 130, the bottom plate flange 141, and the bottom support beam 230 can share the external forces on the refrigerator 1, further enhancing the load-bearing capacity and stability of the bottom of the refrigerator 1.

[0214] For example, the back plate 130 and the bottom plate flange 141 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​structure 223, and the back plate 130, the bottom plate flange 141 and the bottom support beam 230 can be connected by a threaded connection structure 170 in the overlapping area.

[0215] In addition, the mounting component 220 is provided with a clearance opening 225, which is mainly used to avoid the bottom plate flange 141, thereby minimizing the interference area between the mounting component 220 and the bottom plate flange 141. The back plate 130, the bottom plate flange 141 and the bottom support beam 230 overlap sequentially from back to front in the overlapping area, and the overlapping area is provided with a threaded connection structure 170. At the same time, the clearance opening 225 of the mounting component 220 is also located in the overlapping area.

[0216] It is understandable that by setting the clearance opening 225, the mounting part 220 can be installed without interfering with the bottom plate flange 141, which helps the mounting part 220 to be installed smoothly without affecting the function or structure of the bottom plate flange 141, and can effectively improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the bottom of the refrigerator 1.

[0217] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a side panel folded edge 180 is provided at the notch 121. The side panel folded edge 180 includes a first section 181 that folds inward and a second section 182 that folds backward. The outer front end of the mounting member 220 has a protruding part 226 that protrudes forward. The front surface of the protruding part 226 is arranged opposite to the first section 181 in the front-back direction. The inner side of the protruding part 226 is arranged opposite to the second section 182 in the left-right direction, and the second section 182 is located inside the protruding part 226.

[0218] In this embodiment, the bottom of the side panel 120 has a notch 121 at the rear end, and the side panel folding edge 180 is a folding structure formed by folding the edge portion at the notch 121 of the side panel 120 at a certain angle.

[0219] The side panel folded edge 180 includes a first segment 181 and a second segment 182 that are perpendicular to each other. The first segment 181 folds inward toward the side panel 120 and is parallel to the back panel 130. The first segment 181 can strengthen the side panel 120. The second segment 182 folds backward and is parallel to the side panel 120. The second segment 182 is used to connect with the mounting piece 220 and can enhance the firmness of the structural connection.

[0220] The front outer side of the mounting component 220 has a forward-protruding protrusion 226, which is mainly used to provide additional support points or connection points to help the mounting component 220 be fixedly connected to the side panel folded edge 180.

[0221] Specifically, the front surface of the protrusion 226 and the first segment 181 of the side panel folded edge 180 are both parallel to the back panel 130, and the front surface of the protrusion 226 and the first segment 181 of the side panel folded edge 180 are arranged opposite each other in the front-rear direction, wherein the first segment 181 of the side panel folded edge 180 is located in front of the front surface of the protrusion 226, and the protrusion 226 abuts against the first segment 181 of the side panel folded edge 180.

[0222] The inner side of the protrusion 226 and the second segment 182 of the side plate folded edge 180 are both parallel to the side plate 120, and the inner side of the protrusion 226 and the second segment 182 of the side plate folded edge 180 are arranged opposite each other in the left and right direction. The second segment 182 of the side plate folded edge 180 is located inside the protrusion 226 and abuts against the protrusion 226.

[0223] That is, the side panel folded edge 180 covers the front surface and inner side surface of the protrusion 226, thereby achieving a stable fit between the side panel folded edge 180 and the protrusion 226. At the same time, the side panel folded edge 180 can get additional support, reducing the risk of deformation of the side panel folded edge 180 due to external forces.

[0224] Furthermore, the relative arrangement of the protrusion 226 and the side panel folded edge 180 facilitates precise installation, reduces errors during installation, and improves assembly accuracy and efficiency.

[0225] It is understandable that by providing a side panel folded edge 180 at the notch 121 and combining the side panel folded edge 180 with the protrusion 226 of the mounting part 220, the installation process can be optimized and the connection between the refrigerator 1 outer shell 10 and the mounting part 220 can be strengthened.

[0226] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the back of the mounting member 220 includes a first region and a second region located outside the first region. The first region is attached to the back plate 130, and the second region is provided with an elastic decorative member 240. The elastic decorative member 240 protrudes rearward relative to the back plate 130 in an uncompressed state, and the stiffness of the elastic decorative member 240 is less than the stiffness of the mounting member 220.

[0227] In this embodiment, the back side of the mounting member 220 faces the back plate 130 and is in contact with the back plate 130. The back side of the mounting member 220 includes a first region and a second region located outside the first region. The second region is located on the side of the first region near the side plate folding edge 180. The first region is in contact with the back plate 130, and the second region is the part of the back side of the mounting member 220 that is not in contact with the back plate 130.

[0228] In addition, the second area is provided with a flexible decorative element 240, which can provide additional support and decoration. The stiffness of the flexible decorative element 240 is less than that of the mounting element 220. The flexible decorative element 240 can be a component with elastic deformation capability, usually made of flexible materials such as rubber, plastic and silicone. In the uncompressed state, the flexible decorative element 240 protrudes rearward relative to the back plate 130, which can be used to protect the back plate 130 and reduce the impact of external forces on the back plate 130. The flexible decorative element 240 can also cover the corners of the back and outer sides of the mounting element 220 to reduce the wear of the corners.

[0229] The resilient decorative element 240 can absorb external impacts or pressures, helping the back panel 130 and the mounting element 220 to resist the influence of external forces to a certain extent. For example, when subjected to external force, the resilient decorative element 240 is compressed, and compressed to the maximum extent to be flush with the back panel 130. After the external force is removed, the resilient decorative element 240 returns to its original protruding state, thereby maintaining its elasticity and decorative function.

[0230] Understandably, the first area fits tightly against the back panel 130, providing strong support for the overall structure and reducing loosening or deformation of the back panel 130 during use. Meanwhile, the elastic decorative element 240 in the second area can further improve the support performance of the mounting element 220, effectively distribute pressure, and reduce the risk of damage to the back panel 130.

[0231] This application embodiment also provides a refrigerator 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator 1 includes: an outer shell 10, an inner liner, an insulation layer, and a compressor. The bottom of the outer shell 10 forms a compressor compartment 20. The inner liner is installed inside the outer shell 10 to form a compartment. The insulation layer is formed between the outer shell 10 and the inner liner. The compressor and condenser are installed in the compressor compartment 20.

[0232] In addition, at least one of the side plate 120 and bottom plate 140 of the outer casing 10 is provided with a heat dissipation vent, which is connected to the compressor chamber 20. The compressor chamber rear cover 250 of the outer casing 10 is installed at the rear of the compressor chamber 20 and is recessed forward at the lower part to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, side and bottom.

[0233] It should be noted that designing the heat dissipation vents in a position adjacent to the compressor compartment 20, rather than the traditional rear, allows for better utilization of the refrigerator 1's spatial layout and reduces the limitations of traditional rear air outlets.

[0234] The compressor compartment rear cover 250 of the outer casing 10 is installed behind the compressor compartment 20 and is recessed forward at the bottom to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, side and bottom, which can provide suitable placement space for components such as baseboards, thereby optimizing the spatial layout of the back of the refrigerator 1 and reducing the gap between the back of the refrigerator 1 and the wall.

[0235] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the compressor compartment rear cover 250 includes a first rear cover portion 251, a second rear cover portion 252, and a third rear cover portion 253 connected sequentially from top to bottom. The first rear cover portion 251 and the third rear cover portion 253 are respectively bent to the second rear cover portion 252. The second rear cover portion 252 forms the top wall of the clearance groove 150, and the third rear cover portion 253 is connected to the rear end of the base plate 140 and forms the front wall of the clearance groove 150.

[0236] In this embodiment, the compressor compartment rear cover 250 is connected between the back plate 130 and the bottom plate 140. Both the compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the back plate 130 are located at the back of the refrigerator 1. The compressor compartment rear cover 250 is located below the back plate 130, and the bottom plate 140 is located at the bottom of the refrigerator 1. The compressor compartment rear cover 250 includes a first rear cover portion 251, a second rear cover portion 252, and a third rear cover portion 253 connected sequentially from top to bottom. The first rear cover portion 251 is connected between the lower end of the back plate 130 and the second rear cover portion 252. The second rear cover portion 252 is connected between the first rear cover portion 251 and the third rear cover portion 253. The third rear cover portion 253 is connected between the second rear cover portion 252 and the rear end of the bottom plate 140.

[0237] In addition, the first part 251 and the third part 253 of the rear cover are bent into shape with the second part 252 of the rear cover. Specifically, the first part 251 and the third part 253 of the rear cover are parallel to the back panel 130, the second part 252 of the rear cover is perpendicular to the first part 251 and the third part 253 of the rear cover, and the third part 253 of the rear cover is closer to the inside of the refrigerator 1 than the first part 251 of the rear cover.

[0238] It should be noted that the compressor compartment rear cover 250 is recessed forward at the bottom to form a clearance groove 150, the second part 252 of the rear cover forms the top wall of the clearance groove 150, and the third part 253 of the rear cover forms the front wall of the clearance groove 150.

[0239] Understandably, the bending and connecting of various parts on the compressor compartment rear cover 250 together form the wall of the clearance groove 150, which can improve the operability of the compressor compartment rear cover 250.

[0240] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the side surface of the refrigerator 1 has a notch 121 at the rear end. The second part 252 and the third part 253 of the rear cover are both arranged in the notch 121 to form a clearance groove 150.

[0241] In this embodiment, the notch 121 at the bottom rear end of the side surface of the refrigerator 1 makes the area at the bottom of the side panel 120 not completely closed, thereby forming a certain space. The second part 252 and the third part 253 of the rear cover are arranged in the notch 121 to form a relief groove 150, which is open at the back, side and bottom.

[0242] The bottom of the side panel 120 has an L-shaped notch 121 at the rear end. The second part 252 of the rear cover is parallel to the bottom plate 140, forming the top wall of the clearance groove 150. The third part 253 of the rear cover is parallel to the back plate 130, forming the side wall of the clearance groove 150.

[0243] Understandably, the second part 252 and the third part 253 of the rear cover are arranged at the notch 121 at the bottom of the side panel 120, which can make full use of the space at the bottom of the refrigerator 1, so that the bottom area is not limited to a straight line and closed design, thereby improving the operability of the refrigerator 1.

[0244] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper edge of the notch 121 is higher than the second part 252 of the back cover, so as to form a wiring channel 210 between the upper edge of the notch 121 and the second part 252 of the back cover.

[0245] In this embodiment, the second part 252 of the rear cover is parallel to the bottom plate 140, forming the top wall of the clearance groove 150. The top wall of the clearance groove 150 is located below the upper edge of the notch 121 and is spaced apart from the upper edge of the notch 121. A wiring channel 210 is formed between the upper edge of the notch 121 and the second part 252 of the rear cover.

[0246] The wiring channel 210 is a channel designed inside the refrigerator 1 for placing and guiding electrical components such as cables or wires. The wiring channel 210 is located above the top wall of the clearance groove 150 and can provide an orderly and safe path, allowing the cables inside the refrigerator 1 to be led out from the wiring channel 210 and safely transmitted to the outside of the refrigerator 1 to connect to power sources or external devices, reducing interference between cables and other components inside the refrigerator 1.

[0247] Understandably, the upper edge of the notch 121 is higher than the second part 252 of the back cover, which can form a wiring channel 210.

[0248] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a side panel folded edge 180 is provided at the notch 121, and a side panel folded edge 261 is provided on the side wall 260 of the press chamber 20. The side panel folded edge 180 and the side wall folded edge 261 have overlapping areas in their vertical projections along the left and right directions.

[0249] In this embodiment, the bottom of the side plate 120 has an L-shaped notch 121 at the rear end, and a side plate folding edge 180 is provided at the notch 121. The side plate folding edge 180 is a folding structure formed by folding the edge part of the side plate 120 at the notch 121. A part of the side plate folding edge 180 folds towards the back plate 130. The press chamber side wall 260 of the press chamber 20 has a side wall folding edge 261. A part of the side wall folding edge 261 folds away from the back plate 130, that is, the folding directions are opposite.

[0250] The side panel folded edge 180 and the side wall folded edge 261 have overlapping areas when projected vertically in the left-right direction, that is, at least a portion of the side panel folded edge 180 and the side wall folded edge 261 are directly opposite each other in the left-right direction.

[0251] It is understandable that the side panel folded edge 180 and the side wall folded edge 261 have overlapping areas in their vertical projections along the left and right directions, thereby achieving the connection between the side panel 120 and the compressor compartment side wall 260.

[0252] This application embodiment also provides a refrigerator 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator 1 includes: an outer shell 10, an inner liner, an insulation layer, and a compressor. The outer shell 10 includes a top plate 110, a side plate 120, a back plate 130, and a bottom plate 140. The outer shell 10 forms a compressor compartment 20. The inner liner is installed inside the outer shell 10 to form a compartment. The insulation layer is formed between the outer shell 10 and the inner liner. The compressor is installed in the compressor compartment 20.

[0253] At least one of the top plate 110, side plate 120 and bottom plate 140 adjacent to the compressor compartment 20 is provided with a heat dissipation vent that connects to the compressor compartment 20. It should be noted that designing the heat dissipation vent in a position adjacent to the compressor compartment 20, rather than the traditional rear, can better utilize the space layout of the refrigerator 1 and reduce the limitations of the traditional rear air outlet.

[0254] In addition, the bottom of the outer shell 10 of the refrigerator 1 is recessed forward at the back to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, sides and bottom, which can provide suitable placement space for components such as baseboards, thereby optimizing the spatial layout of the back of the refrigerator 1 and reducing the gap between the back of the refrigerator 1 and the wall.

[0255] like Figure 2 As shown, the refrigerator 1 also includes a resilient decorative element 240, which is installed at the clearance groove 150 and has a stiffness less than that of the outer shell 10. Specifically, at least a portion of the resilient decorative element 240 can be installed at the end of the clearance groove 150 located on the side of the refrigerator 1 to provide additional support and decoration.

[0256] For example, the stiffness of the elastic decorative element 240 is less than that of the housing 10. The elastic decorative element 240 may include components with elastic deformation capability, typically made of flexible materials such as rubber, plastic and silicone.

[0257] The elastic decorative element 240 protrudes rearward relative to the back panel 130 in the uncompressed state, which can be used to absorb external impacts or pressures and help the refrigerator 1 outer shell 10 resist the influence of external forces to a certain extent. For example, when subjected to external force, the elastic decorative element 240 is compressed, and compressed to the maximum extent to be flush with the back panel 130. After the external force is removed, the elastic decorative element 240 returns to its original protruding state, thereby maintaining its elasticity and decorative function.

[0258] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the compressor compartment 20 is formed at the bottom of the outer casing 10, and the heat dissipation vents are provided at at least one of the side plate 120 and the bottom plate 140. The outer casing 10 also includes a compressor compartment rear cover 250 installed behind the compressor compartment 20. The compressor compartment rear cover 250 is bent to form a relief groove 150. An elastic decorative member 240 is installed on the outer side of the compressor compartment rear cover 250 in the left-right direction and protrudes rearward relative to the compressor compartment rear cover 250.

[0259] Specifically, the compressor compartment 20 can be formed at the bottom of the outer casing 10. The compressor compartment 20 is mainly used to accommodate components that generate noise during operation, such as the compressor, and effectively isolate noise to maintain the low-noise operation of the refrigerator 1. Specifically, the outer casing 10 also includes a compressor compartment rear cover 250 installed behind the compressor compartment 20. The compressor compartment front cover, compressor compartment rear cover 250 and bottom plate 140 together form the compressor compartment 20 located at the bottom of the refrigerator 1. The compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the back plate 130 are both located at the back of the refrigerator 1. The compressor compartment rear cover 250 is located below the back plate 130, and the bottom plate 140 is located at the bottom of the refrigerator 1. The compressor compartment front cover is connected between the compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the bottom plate 140.

[0260] At least one of the side plate 120 and bottom plate 140 of the outer casing 10 is provided with a heat dissipation vent, which is connected to the compressor chamber 20. The compressor chamber rear cover 250 of the outer casing 10 is installed at the rear of the compressor chamber 20 and is recessed forward at the lower part to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, side and bottom.

[0261] Specifically, at least one of the side panels 120 and bottom panels 140 of the outer casing 10 adjacent to the compressor compartment 20 is provided with a heat dissipation vent. That is, the heat dissipation vent can be located at least one of the side and bottom of the refrigerator 1. The heat dissipation vent can connect the compressor compartment 20 with the outside, so that the hot air in the compressor compartment 20 can be quickly released to the outside through the heat dissipation vent, thereby reducing the risk of excessive temperature in the compressor area and maintaining the efficient operation of the compressor.

[0262] The compressor compartment rear cover 250 of the outer casing 10 is installed behind the compressor compartment 20 and is recessed forward at the bottom to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, side and bottom, which can provide suitable placement space for components such as baseboards, thereby optimizing the spatial layout of the back of the refrigerator 1 and reducing the gap between the back of the refrigerator 1 and the wall.

[0263] In addition, the elastic decorative element 240 is installed on the outer side of the compressor compartment rear cover 250 in the left-right direction and is located at the relief groove 150. It can provide additional support and decoration. At the same time, the elastic decorative element 240 protrudes rearward relative to the compressor compartment rear cover 250 in the non-compressed state, which can be used to protect the back plate 130 and reduce the impact of external forces on the back plate 130. The elastic decorative element 240 can also cover the corners of the back and outer side of the mounting element 220 to reduce the wear of the corners.

[0264] For example, the resilient trim 240 may include a component with elastic deformation capability, typically made of flexible materials such as rubber, plastic and silicone.

[0265] Understandably, the resilient trim 240 can absorb external impacts or pressures, helping the compressor compartment rear cover 250 to resist the effects of external forces to some extent.

[0266] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the resilient trim 240 covers the outer corner of the rear end of the mounting 220.

[0267] The rear end of the mounting component 220 is susceptible to friction, impact, or external forces. It can wrap around the vulnerable outer corner, thereby effectively reducing the damage caused by impact to the equipment.

[0268] For example, the elastic decorative element 240 may be made of materials including, but not limited to, rubber, plastic or other elastic synthetic materials, and the elastic decorative element 240 may provide a certain degree of stretchability and cushioning through its elastic properties.

[0269] Understandably, the resilient trim 240 covers the outer corner of the rear end of the mounting 220, which can reduce the impact of external collisions and friction, and effectively reduce corner wear.

[0270] This application embodiment also provides a refrigerator 1, such as Figure 15 As shown, the refrigerator 1 includes: an outer shell 10, an inner liner, an insulation layer, a compressor, a condenser, and a decorative part 40, wherein the outer shell 10 forms a compressor compartment 20, the inner liner is installed inside the outer shell 10 to form a compartment, the insulation layer is formed between the outer shell 10 and the inner liner, and the compressor and condenser are installed in the compressor compartment 20.

[0271] In addition, a compressor compartment 20 is formed at the bottom of the outer casing 10. At least one of the side plates 120 and the bottom plate 140 of the outer casing 10 is provided with a heat dissipation vent, which is connected to the compressor compartment 20. The compressor compartment rear cover 250 of the outer casing 10 is installed at the rear of the compressor compartment 20, and the lower part is recessed forward on at least one side to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open in the direction away from the compartment on the side it is located, at both ends on the side it is located, and downward. That is, the relief groove 150 is open at the back, side and bottom.

[0272] Specifically, at least one of the side panels 120 and bottom panels 140 of the outer casing 10 adjacent to the compressor compartment 20 is provided with a heat dissipation vent, that is, the heat dissipation vent can be located at at least one of the side and bottom of the refrigerator 1.

[0273] The compressor compartment rear cover 250 of the outer casing 10 is installed behind the compressor compartment 20 and is recessed forward at the bottom to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, side and bottom, which can provide suitable placement space for components such as baseboards, thereby optimizing the spatial layout of the back of the refrigerator 1 and reducing the gap between the back of the refrigerator 1 and the wall.

[0274] Furthermore, the decorative part 40 is detachably installed in the clearance groove 150, and the outer wall surface of the decorative part 40 is flush with the corresponding wall surface on the outer casing 10. When the decorative part 40 is installed in the clearance groove 150, the clearance groove 150 at the bottom of the outer casing 10 is filled. In an environment where the wall does not have a baseboard, the back of the refrigerator 1 is against the wall. When the decorative part 40 is not installed in the clearance groove 150, the bottom of the refrigerator 1 forms a clearance groove 150, which can provide appropriate space for components such as baseboards, thereby reducing the occupation of additional space.

[0275] The detachable mounting of the decorative part 40 to the clearance groove 150 can improve the adaptability of the refrigerator 1 and help to apply the refrigerator 1 to a variety of different installation environments.

[0276] In some embodiments, such as Figure 16 As shown, the top wall of the decorative part 40 abuts against the top wall of the clearance groove 150, the inner side wall of the decorative part 40 abuts against the inward wall surface of the clearance groove 150, and the other wall surfaces of the decorative part 40 are flush with the corresponding wall surfaces on the outer shell.

[0277] In this embodiment, the decorative part 40 is installed in the relief groove 150, and the top wall of the decorative part 40 abuts against the top wall of the relief groove 150, and the inner side wall of the decorative part 40 abuts against the inner wall surface of the relief groove 150.

[0278] In addition, the bottom wall of the decorative part 40 is flush with the lower surface of the base plate, the outer side wall of the decorative part 40 is directly opposite the inner side wall, and the outer side wall is flush with the outer side surface of the back plate. Apart from the inner side wall and the outer side wall, the other two side walls of the decorative part 40 are directly opposite along the length of the decorative part 40, and the other two side walls are respectively flush with the side plates on both sides.

[0279] The outer wall surface of the decorative part 40 is flush with the corresponding wall surface on the outer shell 10. When the decorative part 40 is installed in the clearance groove 150, the clearance groove 150 at the bottom of the outer shell 10 is filled, forming the regular shape of the conventional refrigerator 1.

[0280] It is understandable that installing the decorative part 40 at the clearance groove 150 can reduce the impact of the external environment on the clearance groove 150.

[0281] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17 As shown, the decorative part 40 is detachably mounted to the clearance groove 150 by a plurality of connectors 410, and the plurality of connectors 410 are distributed near the lower edge and the side edges of the decorative part 40.

[0282] In this embodiment, the decorative part 40 is detachably mounted to the clearance groove 150 via multiple connectors 410. When the decorative part 40 is mounted to the clearance groove 150, the clearance groove 150 at the bottom of the outer casing 10 is filled. In an environment where the wall does not have a baseboard, the back of the refrigerator 1 is against the wall. When the decorative part 40 is not mounted to the clearance groove 150, the clearance groove 150 is formed at the bottom of the refrigerator 1, which can provide appropriate space for components such as baseboards, thereby reducing the occupation of additional space.

[0283] For example, connector 410 can be a detachable connection structure such as a fastener.

[0284] In addition, multiple connectors 410 are distributed near the lower edge and both sides of the decorative part 40. For example, the decorative part 40 is connected to the housing 10 by the connectors 410 distributed near the lower edge of the decorative part 40, and the decorative part 40 is connected to the compressor chamber 20 by the connectors 410 distributed near the both sides of the decorative part 40.

[0285] It is understandable that the decorative part 40 is detachably mounted to the clearance groove 150 by means of multiple connectors 410, which can improve the connection strength and connection stability between the connectors 410 and the clearance groove 150.

[0286] This application embodiment also provides a refrigerator 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator 1 includes: an outer shell 10, an inner liner, an insulation layer, and a compressor. The outer shell 10 includes a top plate 110, a side plate 120, a back plate 130, and a bottom plate 140. The outer shell 10 forms a compressor compartment 20. The inner liner is installed inside the outer shell 10 to form a compartment. The insulation layer is formed between the outer shell 10 and the inner liner. The compressor is installed in the compressor compartment 20.

[0287] At least one of the top plate 110, side plate 120 and bottom plate 140 adjacent to the compressor compartment 20 is provided with a heat dissipation vent that connects to the compressor compartment 20. It should be noted that designing the heat dissipation vent in a position adjacent to the compressor compartment 20, rather than the traditional rear, can better utilize the space layout of the refrigerator 1 and reduce the limitations of the traditional rear air outlet.

[0288] In addition, the bottom of the outer shell 10 of the refrigerator 1 is recessed forward at the back to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, sides and bottom, which can provide suitable placement space for components such as baseboards, thereby optimizing the spatial layout of the back of the refrigerator 1 and reducing the gap between the back of the refrigerator 1 and the wall.

[0289] Meanwhile, the rear surface of the side plate 120 protrudes rearward relative to the rear surface of the back plate 130, which can reduce the contact between the back plate 130 and the wall, thereby reducing the wear on the back plate 130. It can also reduce the molding difficulty of the side plate 120 and improve the interface strength between the side plate 120 and the back plate 130.

[0290] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7-9 As shown, the side panel 120 includes a side panel body 122 and a bent structure 190 connected to the rear end of the side panel body 122. The side panel body 122 and the bent structure 190 form a first groove 123 that opens forward and a second groove 124 that opens backward. The first groove 123 is located on the lateral outer side of the second groove 124. The back panel 130 is installed in the second groove 124. The bottom of the first groove 123 protrudes backward relative to the back panel 130.

[0291] Specifically, the side panel 120 includes a side panel body 122 and a bending structure 190 connected to the rear end of the side panel body 122. The side panel body 122 is a panel located on the side of the refrigerator 1. The bending structure 190 is located on the side of the side panel body 122 facing the inside of the refrigerator 1. The bending structure 190 includes multiple folded edges connected in sequence. The side panel body 122 and the bending structure 190 together form a first groove 123 and a second groove 124. The first groove 123 opens forward and the second groove 124 opens backward. That is, the first groove 123 communicates with the inside of the refrigerator 1 and the second groove 124 communicates with the external environment.

[0292] The inner side of the side panel body 122 is the groove wall of the first groove 123. That is, the first groove 123 is located between the side panel body 122 and the second groove 124 in a direction perpendicular to the side panel body 122. The second groove 124 is formed between multiple folds of the bent structure 190 and is mainly used to install the back panel 130 and firmly connect the back panel 130 and the side panel 120 together.

[0293] In addition, the bottom of the first groove 123 protrudes 2mm behind the back panel 130, that is, when the back of the refrigerator 1 is against the wall, the outer side of the bottom of the first groove 123 contacts the wall, and a gap is formed between the back panel 130 and the wall, thereby protecting the back panel 130.

[0294] The bending structure 190 can also improve the structural strength of the connection. At the same time, the bending structure 190 and the back plate 130 are connected by a fitting method, which can reduce the use of additional fasteners and thus improve the sealing of the joint.

[0295] It should be noted that in related technologies, there are also side panels that are formed to connect with the back panel through a bending process. However, in conventional refrigerators, the bent part of the side panel extends along the height direction. When installing the refrigerator, the space occupied is increased due to the need to avoid the baseboard, and a gap is formed between the refrigerator and the wall. Therefore, conventional refrigerators strive to make the bent part of the side panel flush with the back panel to reduce the space occupied. The bottom of the refrigerator 1 of this application is recessed forward at the back to form an avoidance groove 150, which cooperates with the bending structure 190 of the side panel 120 to reduce the space occupied, while covering the gap formed between the back panel 130 of the refrigerator 1 and the wall.

[0296] Understandably, the second groove 124 formed by the bending structure 190 of the side panel 120 and the back panel 130 is installed on the side panel 120, which can reduce the risk of the connection between the back panel 130 and the side panel 120 being exposed to the outside, thereby reducing the risk of the back panel 130 falling off or shifting during use.

[0297] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the back panel 130 has a forward-folding back panel fold 131 on its side, and the back panel fold 131 has a protruding rib 132. The back panel fold 131 extends into the second groove 124 and is engaged with the second groove 124 by the protruding rib 132.

[0298] The second fold 192, the third fold 193, and the fourth fold 194 of the side panel 120 form a second groove 124, wherein the second fold 192 and the fourth fold 194 form the side wall of the second groove 124, the third fold 193 forms the bottom wall of the second groove 124, the second groove 124 faces the outside of the refrigerator 1, the back panel 130 is installed in the second groove 124, and the fourth fold 194 is located on the side of the back panel 130 facing the inside of the refrigerator 1.

[0299] For example, the side of the back panel 130 may be provided with a back panel folded edge 131 that folds inward into the refrigerator 1, and the opening of the second groove 124 faces outward from the refrigerator 1. The back panel folded edge 131 extends into the second groove 124 and is locked in place, thereby realizing the connection between the back panel 130 and the side panel 120.

[0300] In addition, the back panel folded edge 131 is provided with a protruding rib 132, and the back panel folded edge 131 extends into the second groove 124 and is engaged with the second groove 124 through the protruding rib 132.

[0301] Specifically, the back panel fold 131 is perpendicular to the other parts of the back panel 130. The protruding rib 132 on the back panel fold 131 faces the fourth fold 194, and the fourth fold 194 is inclined toward the second fold 192, forming a second groove 124 with a groove width smaller than the bottom of the groove. When the back panel fold 131 extends into the second groove 124, the protruding rib 132 on the back panel fold 131 abuts against the inclined fourth fold 194, thereby forming a snap-fit ​​structure between the back panel 130 and the side panel 120.

[0302] It is understandable that the back panel 130 is engaged with the second groove 124 formed by the back panel 131 with the back panel folded edge 132 and the side panel 120, thereby achieving a firm connection between the back panel 130 and the side panel 120.

[0303] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the bending structure 190 also includes a fifth and a sixth fold 196, the first to the sixth folds 196 are connected in sequence, and the end of the sixth fold 196 away from the fifth fold 195 abuts against the fourth fold 194.

[0304] The bending structure 190 may also include a fifth fold 195 and a sixth fold 196 connected in sequence, with the fifth fold 195 connected between the fourth fold 194 and the sixth fold 196, wherein one end of the fourth fold 194 is connected to the third fold 193 and the other end is connected to the fifth fold 195.

[0305] Specifically, the fourth fold 194 forms the sidewall of the second groove 124, and the fourth fold 194 is inclined. From the end connected to the third fold 193 to the end connected to the fifth fold 195, the vertical distance between the fourth fold 194 and the second fold 192 gradually decreases. At the same time, the end of the fourth fold 194 connected to the fifth fold 195 and the second fold 192 together form the opening of the second groove 124.

[0306] Furthermore, the end of the sixth fold 196 away from the fifth fold 195 abuts against the fourth fold 194. Specifically, the fifth fold 195 can be an arc-shaped structure, and the sixth fold 196 is inclined. From the end connected to the fifth fold 195 to the end away from the fifth fold 195, the vertical distance between the sixth fold 196 and the fourth fold 194 and the second fold 192 gradually decreases until the end of the sixth fold 196 away from the fifth fold 195 contacts the fourth fold 194.

[0307] For example, the fourth fold 194, the fifth fold 195 and the sixth fold 196 together form a teardrop-shaped structure, which can improve the strength of the bending structure 190 and improve the sealing performance at the connection between the back plate 130 and the side plate 120, thereby reducing the risk of material overflow at the connection between the back plate 130 and the side plate 120.

[0308] Understandably, the end of the sixth fold 196 that is away from the fifth fold 195 abuts against the fourth fold 194, which can reduce the risk of material overflow at the connection between the back plate 130 and the side plate 120.

[0309] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below from three different implementation perspectives.

[0310] Example 1: The compressor compartment 20 is formed on the top of the outer casing 10, and the condenser is arranged in the compressor compartment 20.

[0311] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the compressor compartment 20 is formed on the top of the outer shell 10, and at least one of the top plate 110 and the side plate 120 is provided with a heat dissipation vent. The back plate 130 includes a back plate 130 body and a compressor compartment rear cover. The compressor compartment rear cover is connected to the upper end of the back plate 130 body. The back plate 130 body extends to the bottom of the outer shell 10, and the bottom of the back plate 130 body is recessed forward to form a relief groove 150.

[0312] In this embodiment, the compressor compartment 20 is formed on the top of the outer casing 10. The top plate 110 and the side plate 120 are adjacent to the compressor compartment 20. That is, at least one of the top plate 110 and the side plate 120 is provided with a heat dissipation vent that connects to the compressor compartment 20. The heat dissipation vent can connect the compressor compartment 20 with the outside, so that the hot airflow in the compressor compartment 20 can be quickly released to the outside through the heat dissipation vent, thereby reducing the risk of excessive temperature in the compressor area and maintaining the efficient operation of the compressor.

[0313] It should be noted that the refrigerator 1 also includes a condenser, which is arranged inside the compressor compartment 20. The heat dissipation vent is designed in a position adjacent to the compressor compartment 20, rather than the traditional rear, which can better utilize the space layout of the refrigerator 1 and reduce the limitations of the traditional rear air outlet.

[0314] The back panel 130 of the refrigerator 1 may include a back panel 130 body and a compressor compartment rear cover. At this time, the compressor compartment 20 is on top. The connecting structure 170 includes a first connecting structure 171 and a second connecting structure 172. The compressor compartment rear cover is connected to the upper end of the back panel 130 body. The back panel 130 body extends to the bottom of the outer shell 10. The back panel 130 body and the compressor compartment rear cover can be connected by the second connecting structure 172. The first connecting structure 171 is used to connect the back panel 130 and the top panel 110. At the same time, both the first connecting structure 171 and the second connecting structure 172 protrude into the refrigerator 1.

[0315] For example, the first connecting structure 171 can be a snap-fit ​​structure. The first connecting structure 171 protrudes into the refrigerator 1 to form a snap-fit ​​installation space. After the snap-fit ​​on the top plate 110 is snapped into the first connecting structure 171, the snap-fit ​​still does not protrude from the back plate 130.

[0316] For example, the second connection structure 172 can be a threaded structure 1. The second connection structure 172 protrudes into the refrigerator 1 to form a concave threaded interface. The top plate 110 is provided with a connection hole that matches the threaded interface. When the bolt passes through the back plate 130 and the top plate 110 and is installed on the second connection structure 172, the bolt does not protrude from the back plate 130.

[0317] In addition, the top of the back panel 130 body is recessed forward to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, side and top, which can provide suitable placement space for components such as mounting parts 220, thereby optimizing the spatial layout of the back of the refrigerator 1 and reducing the gap between the back of the refrigerator 1 and the wall.

[0318] It is understandable that the top placement of the compressor compartment 20 is conducive to the rational allocation of internal space and facilitates the maintenance and repair of the equipment. At the same time, the top of the back plate 130 body is recessed forward to form a clearance groove 150, which can resolve structural conflicts in the spatial arrangement and reduce interference between the compressor compartment 20 and other components.

[0319] Example 2: The compressor compartment 20 is formed at the bottom of the outer casing 10, and the condenser is arranged on the outside of the back plate 130.

[0320] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 As shown, the refrigerator 1 also includes a condenser arranged on the outside of the back panel 130, a compressor compartment 20 formed at the bottom of the outer shell 10, and at least one of the bottom plate 140 and the side plate 120 is provided with a heat dissipation vent. The condenser is bent and its bottom is recessed forward to form a relief groove 150.

[0321] In this embodiment, the compressor compartment 20 is formed at the bottom of the outer casing 10. At least one of the bottom plate 140 and the side plate 120 is provided with a heat dissipation vent that connects to the compressor compartment 20. The heat dissipation vent can connect the compressor compartment 20 with the outside, so that the hot airflow in the compressor compartment 20 can be quickly released to the outside through the heat dissipation vent, thereby reducing the risk of excessive temperature in the compressor area and maintaining the efficient operation of the compressor.

[0322] It should be noted that designing the heat dissipation vents in a position adjacent to the compressor compartment 20, rather than the traditional rear, allows for better utilization of the refrigerator 1's spatial layout and reduces the limitations of traditional rear air outlets.

[0323] The compressor compartment 20 is located at the bottom. The connecting structure 170 includes a first connecting structure 171 and a second connecting structure 172. The first connecting structure 171 is used to connect the back plate 130 and the bottom plate 140. The second connecting structure 172 is used to connect the back plate 130 and the bottom support beam 230 of the compressor compartment 20, thereby forming a frame of the structural component. At the same time, both the first connecting structure 171 and the second connecting structure 172 protrude into the refrigerator 1.

[0324] For example, the first connecting structure 171 can be a snap-fit ​​structure. The first connecting structure 171 protrudes into the refrigerator 1 to form a snap-fit ​​installation space. After the snap-fit ​​on the base plate 140 is snapped into the first connecting structure 171, the snap-fit ​​still does not protrude from the back plate 130.

[0325] For example, the second connection structure 172 can be a threaded structure. The second connection structure 172 protrudes into the refrigerator 1 to form a concave threaded interface. The base plate 140 is provided with a connection hole that matches the threaded interface. When the bolt passes through the back plate 130 and the base plate 140 and is installed on the second connection structure 172, the bolt does not protrude from the back plate 130.

[0326] In addition, the refrigerator 1 also includes a condenser, which is bent and arranged on the outside of the back panel 130. The bottom of the back panel 130 is recessed forward to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, side and bottom, which can provide suitable placement space for components such as the mounting piece 220, thereby optimizing the spatial layout of the back of the refrigerator 1 and reducing the gap between the back of the refrigerator 1 and the wall. The condenser and the relief groove 150 are staggered along the length of the back panel 130.

[0327] Example 3: The compressor compartment 20 is formed at the bottom of the outer shell 10, and the condenser is arranged in the compressor compartment 20.

[0328] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 11 As shown, the compressor compartment 20 is formed at the bottom of the outer casing 10, and at least one of the bottom plate 140 and the side plate 120 is provided with a heat dissipation vent. The back plate 130 includes a back plate 130 body and a compressor compartment rear cover. The compressor compartment rear cover is connected to the lower end of the back plate 130 body, and the bottom of the compressor compartment rear cover is recessed forward to form a relief groove 150.

[0329] In this embodiment, the compressor compartment 20 is formed at the bottom of the outer casing 10. At least one of the bottom plate 140 and the side plate 120 is provided with a heat dissipation vent that connects to the compressor compartment 20. The heat dissipation vent can connect the compressor compartment 20 with the outside, so that the hot airflow in the compressor compartment 20 can be quickly released to the outside through the heat dissipation vent, thereby reducing the risk of excessive temperature in the compressor area and maintaining the efficient operation of the compressor.

[0330] It should be noted that designing the heat dissipation vents in a position adjacent to the compressor compartment 20, rather than the traditional rear, allows for better utilization of the refrigerator 1's spatial layout and reduces the limitations of traditional rear air outlets.

[0331] The back panel 130 of the refrigerator 1 may include a back panel 130 body and a compressor compartment rear cover. At this time, the compressor compartment 20 is on top. The connecting structure 170 includes a first connecting structure 171 and a second connecting structure 172. The compressor compartment rear cover is connected to the upper end of the back panel 130 body. The back panel 130 body extends to the bottom of the outer shell 10. The back panel 130 body and the compressor compartment rear cover can be connected by the second connecting structure 172. The first connecting structure 171 is used to connect the back panel 130 and the top panel 110. At the same time, both the first connecting structure 171 and the second connecting structure 172 protrude into the refrigerator 1.

[0332] In addition, the bottom of the back panel 130 body is recessed forward to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, side and bottom, which can provide suitable placement space for components such as mounting parts 220, thereby optimizing the spatial layout of the back of the refrigerator 1 and reducing the gap between the back of the refrigerator 1 and the wall.

[0333] Understandably, the bottom of the backplate 130 body is recessed forward to form a clearance groove 150, which can resolve structural conflicts in the spatial arrangement and reduce interference between the compressor compartment 20 and other components.

[0334] In some embodiments, such as Figure 14 As shown, the refrigerator 1 also includes a refrigerator body 50 and a side decorative panel 60. The side decorative panel 60 is installed on the side of the refrigerator body 50, and the rear end of the side decorative panel 60 protrudes rearward relative to the refrigerator body 50. The bottom of the side decorative panel 60 forms an avoidance groove 150 on the back.

[0335] In this embodiment, the refrigerator body 50 is the main part of the refrigerator 1, which includes core functions such as refrigeration and freezing, and the refrigerator body 50 has ventilation at the back.

[0336] The side decorative panel 60 is installed on the side of the refrigerator body 50, and the rear end of the side decorative panel 60 protrudes backward relative to the refrigerator body 50. When the refrigerator 1 is embedded in the wall, a gap is formed between the refrigerator body 50 and the opposite wall, which can help air circulation, improve heat dissipation performance, and reduce the impact of the wall on the refrigerator body 50.

[0337] Meanwhile, the bottom of the side decorative panel 60 is recessed forward at the back to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, sides and bottom, which can provide suitable placement space for components such as baseboards, thereby optimizing the spatial layout of the back of the refrigerator 1.

[0338] It should be noted that the side decorative panel 60 has a clearance groove 150, while the refrigerator body 50 does not have a clearance groove 150.

[0339] Specifically, the clearance groove 150 is a recessed area on the back of the refrigerator 1. Its shape and size can be designed according to actual needs. The top of the rear end of the side decorative panel 60 protrudes rearward relative to the refrigerator body 50, while the bottom of the rear end of the side decorative panel 60 does not protrude relative to the refrigerator body 50, thus forming the clearance groove 150 at the bottom of the rear end of the side decorative panel 60.

[0340] The baseboard is usually closely connected to the wall and located at the back of the refrigerator 1. A clearance groove 150 is set at the rear of the refrigerator 1 to provide appropriate space for components such as the baseboard, thereby reducing the occupation of extra space.

[0341] Understandably, the recessed groove 150 formed at the bottom of the side decorative panel 60 can reduce interference from baseboards and other elements on the side decorative panel 60 when the refrigerator 1 is installed, and can also improve the heat dissipation of the refrigerator 1.

[0342] In some embodiments, the side panel 120 of the refrigerator 1 is provided with hooks, and the side decorative panel 60 can be installed on the refrigerator body 50 by means of the hooks.

[0343] The side decorative panel 60 is installed on the side of the refrigerator body 50 by a fixing structure, and the rear end of the side decorative panel 60 protrudes backward relative to the refrigerator body 50. When the refrigerator 1 is embedded in the wall, a gap is formed between the refrigerator body 50 and the opposite wall, which can help air circulation, improve heat dissipation performance, and reduce the impact of the wall on the refrigerator body 50.

[0344] For example, the fixing structure includes, but is not limited to, hooks.

[0345] The hook structure is a mechanical fixing method that uses the hook to attach to the side panel 120 of the refrigerator 1, and fixes the side decorative panel 60 by the tight fit between the hook and the side decorative panel 60.

[0346] Hooks can be installed on the side panel 120 of refrigerator 1. The hooks provide a simple and stable fixing method and can also quickly install and remove the side decorative panel 60, reducing the adverse effects of traditional fixing methods on the side panel 120 of refrigerator 1.

[0347] For example, the hooks may be made of materials including, but not limited to, metal or sturdy plastic, to have sufficient strength to support the side trim panel 60.

[0348] In addition, the hook has a certain positioning function, which enables the side decorative panel 60 to automatically align and be fixed in place when connected to the hook, reducing the risk of the side decorative panel 60 deviating from its original position during installation.
