[0031] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0032] The evaporator is an indispensable structure of refrigerators and other refrigeration equipment. The stability of the evaporator after assembly will affect the use of refrigerators and other refrigeration equipment. In the prior art, the evaporator is usually fixed by an additional independent fixing card, but this method requires the fixing card to be assembled to the preset position of the refrigeration equipment before the evaporator is assembled, which will generate additional processes, cumbersome operation and inconvenient assembly.

[0033] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 6 A refrigeration device according to an embodiment of the utility model is described.

[0034] According to the utility model, the refrigeration device 1 includes a shell 11, an evaporator 12 and a return air duct 13. The shell 11 is formed with a accommodating cavity 111; the evaporator 12 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 111; a fixing portion 14 is formed on the return air duct 13, and the fixing portion 14 extends into the accommodating cavity 111 and is limitedly connected to the evaporator 12.

[0035] According to the refrigeration device 1 of the utility model, a return air duct 13 can be provided on the side wall of the shell 11, and a fixing portion 14 is formed on the return air duct 13. It can be understood that the fixing portion 14 and the return air duct 13 are integrally formed. During assembly, the return air duct 13 is assembled to the side wall of the shell 11. At this time, the fixing portion 14 can extend into the accommodating cavity 111 of the shell 11, and the evaporator 12 can directly cooperate with the partial limit position of the fixing portion 14 located in the accommodating cavity 111 to achieve the fixation of the evaporator 12.

[0036] The fixing part 14 on the return air duct 13 directly extends into the accommodating chamber 111 and is limitedly connected with the evaporator 12. Compared with the method of additionally independently setting a fixing card structure to fix the evaporator 12 in the prior art, this design of the utility model can hide the fixing part 14 in the accommodating chamber 111, without the need to additionally design the installation position of the fixing part 14, making the structure of the refrigeration device 1 more compact, reducing unnecessary components and space occupation. At the same time, the limited connection method ensures the stability of the evaporator 12 in the accommodating chamber 111, reduces vibration and noise, and improves the operating stability of the entire refrigeration device 1.

[0037] When assembling the return air duct 13, the fixing portion 14 can extend into the accommodating cavity 111. At this time, the evaporator 12 in the accommodating cavity 111 can be directly limited and matched with the fixing portion 14. Since the return air duct 13 structure is a necessary structure of the refrigeration equipment, its function is to realize the cold air circulation of the refrigeration device 1. Therefore, the fixing portion 14 is formed on the return air duct 13. During assembly, there is no need to perform the additional step of assembling the fixing portion 14. The evaporator 12 can be directly assembled after the return air duct 13 is assembled. The process of assembling the evaporator 12 can be reduced, and complicated installation steps and tools are omitted, so that the installation and fixation of the evaporator 12 becomes simple and quick, and the installation cost and time are reduced.

[0038] In addition, if the evaporator 12 needs to be repaired or replaced, the evaporator 12 can be directly removed without disassembling the entire refrigeration device 1 or the fixing portion 14, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance.

[0039] According to one embodiment of the utility model, a mounting hole 112 is formed on the side wall of the shell 11 to connect the accommodating cavity 111 with the outside, the free end of the fixing portion 14 passes through the mounting hole 112 and extends into the accommodating cavity 111, and the fixing portion 14 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole 112.

[0040] Specifically, the refrigeration device 1 is provided with a mounting hole 112 on the side wall of the shell 11. During assembly, the return air duct 13 is connected to the side wall of the shell 11, and the fixing portion 14 on the return air duct 13 can pass through the mounting hole 112 and extend into the accommodating cavity 111 to fix the evaporator 12. The provision of the mounting hole 112 simplifies the assembly process of the refrigeration device 1 and makes the assembly of the fixing portion 14 more convenient and quick.

[0041] When the return air duct 13 is assembled with the side wall of the shell 11, at least part of the fixing portion 14 passes through the mounting hole 112. At this time, the fixing portion 14 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole 112. Such close contact ensures the stability of the fixing portion 14 in the accommodating cavity 111, reduces vibration and displacement, and thus enhances the structural stability of the entire refrigeration device 1.

[0042] In addition, by adjusting the size and position of the mounting hole 112 , the fixing portion 14 of different sizes and shapes can be adapted, so that the refrigeration device 1 has stronger adaptability and flexibility.

[0043] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a slot is formed on the fixing portion 14 , and an evaporator tube 121 is provided on the evaporator 12 . The evaporator tube 121 can be selectively received in the slot and limitedly matched with the slot.

[0044] Since the fixing part 14 is a structure for fixing the evaporator 12, the structure of the fixing part 14 will affect the assembly of the evaporator 12. Specifically, the refrigeration device 1 is provided with a slot on the fixing part 14, and the evaporator 12 is provided with an evaporator tube 121 that can be adapted to the slot. When the fixing part 14 is assembled, the evaporator 12 can be fixed by the limiting cooperation between the evaporator tube 121 and the slot, and the setting of the slot ensures the stable connection of the evaporator tube 121 on the evaporator 12. The limiting cooperation between the evaporator tube 121 and the slot can effectively prevent the evaporator tube 121 from moving or vibrating during operation, thereby improving the operation stability and reliability of the refrigeration device 1. At the same time, through the limiting cooperation between the evaporator tube 121 and the slot, the installation and removal process of the evaporator 12 can be made simple and quick, reducing the difficulty of installation and removal and improving work efficiency.

[0045] In addition, the design of the card slot can adapt to evaporator tubes 121 of different sizes and shapes, increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the refrigeration device 1, so that the refrigeration device 1 can be applied to more application scenarios and requirements. For example, the fixing portion 14 can be made of a material with a certain elasticity, and the fixing portion 14 processed in this way has a certain deformation ability. When the card slot is matched with the evaporator tube 121, the card slot can be deformed to adapt to evaporator tubes 121 of different sizes.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the fixing portion 14 includes a first plate 141 and a second plate 142 , the first plate 141 and the second plate 142 are spaced apart from each other and define a limiting groove 143 , and the limiting groove 143 is suitable for accommodating the evaporator tube 121 of the evaporator 12 .

[0047] The limiting groove 143 formed between the first plate 141 and the second plate 142 can accurately locate and stably accommodate the evaporator tube 121 of the evaporator 12. This ensures that the position of the evaporator tube 121 in the refrigeration device 1 is accurate and fixed, and avoids displacement or vibration of the evaporator tube 121 during operation, thereby improving the operational stability and reliability of the refrigeration device 1. At the same time, the arrangement of the first plate 141 and the second plate 142 facilitates the processing of the limiting groove 143, and the formation of the limiting groove 143 by spacing the first plate 141 and the second plate 142 can reduce the processing difficulty of the limiting groove 143.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first plate 141 and the second plate 142 may be integrally formed or may be two plates processed separately.

[0049] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the free end of the first plate 141 and the free end of the second plate 142 are respectively formed with guide inclined surfaces 144 that are inclined away from each other in a direction away from the return air duct 13 .

[0050] The setting of the guiding inclined surface 144 enables the evaporator tube 121 to slide more easily when inserted into the limiting groove 143. Since the inclined surfaces are inclined away from each other in the direction away from the return air duct 13, they provide a natural guiding path for the evaporator tube 121, making the installation process smoother and reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0051] At the same time, the setting of the guide slope 144 can also reduce the friction between the evaporator tube 121 and the fixing part 14 during the installation process, which can not only reduce the resistance during installation, but also reduce the risk of damage to the surface of the evaporator tube 121 due to friction, thereby extending the service life of the evaporator tube 121.

[0052] In addition, the guide slope 144 can ensure that the evaporator tube 121 slides into the limit groove 143 in the correct direction during installation, which can avoid damage to the evaporator 12 due to incorrect installation direction, improve installation accuracy, ensure the safety of the evaporator tube 121, and thus ensure the performance and reliability of the refrigeration device 1.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, arc-shaped grooves 145 recessed away from each other are formed on surfaces of the first plate 141 and the second plate 142 facing each other so as to be suitable for clamping the evaporator tube 121 .

[0054] The design of the arc groove 145 enables the first plate 141 and the second plate 142 to closely fit the shape of the evaporator tube 121, thereby achieving a more stable clamping. This stable clamping method can prevent the evaporator tube 121 from moving or vibrating during operation, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the refrigeration device 1.

[0055] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the limiting grooves 143 are configured to be a plurality of grooves 143 that are spaced apart and have different sizes in the extending direction of the first plate 141 and the second plate 142 .

[0056] The plurality of limit grooves 143 of different sizes can adapt to evaporator tubes 121 of different sizes and specifications, thereby increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the refrigeration device 1, making the refrigeration device 1 compatible with more types of evaporators 12 and expanding the scope of application. At the same time, by setting a plurality of limit grooves 143 at intervals, the refrigeration device 1 can arrange the layout of the evaporator tube 121 on the evaporator 12 more flexibly, which helps to optimize the internal structure of the refrigeration device 1 and improve the refrigeration efficiency. Since a plurality of limit grooves 143 of different sizes are provided, the installer can quickly select a suitable limit groove 143 for installation according to the size of the evaporator tube 121, thereby simplifying the installation process and improving work efficiency.

[0057] Each limiting groove 143 is designed according to the evaporator tube 121 of a specific size. Therefore, when the evaporator tube 121 is correctly installed in the limiting groove 143, better stability and reliability can be obtained, which helps to reduce the vibration and displacement of the evaporator tube 121 during operation and improve the performance and life of the refrigeration device 1. When a certain evaporator tube 121 needs to be repaired or replaced, since the size of the limiting groove 143 in which it is located is known, it is easier to find a matching evaporator tube 121 for replacement. This simplifies the maintenance process and reduces maintenance costs.

[0058] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the fixing portion 14 is configured as a plurality of fixing portions 14 spaced apart on the return air duct 13. By spaced apart on the return air duct 13, a stable connection of the evaporator 12 at multiple points can be achieved, and the multi-point connection method can disperse the force, improve the structural stability of the entire refrigeration device 1, reduce vibration and displacement, and ensure the stability of the refrigeration device 1 during operation.

[0059] At the same time, the provision of multiple fixing parts 14 makes the installation of the evaporator 12 more accurate, and the position of each fixing part 14 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the evaporator tube 121 of the evaporator 12 can be assembled with the corresponding fixing part 14, thereby improving the stability of the fixing of the evaporator 12. In addition, this method can also make the refrigeration device 1 compatible with more evaporators 12 of different sizes, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the refrigeration device 1.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the return air duct 13 includes a front cover 131 and a rear cover 132. The front cover 131 is arranged on the side wall of the shell 11. A fixing portion 14 is arranged on the side of the front cover 131 facing the shell 11. Multiple fixing portions 14 are respectively integrally formed with the front cover 131; the rear cover 132 is buckled with the front cover 131.

[0061] Since the fixing portion 14 and the front cover 131 are integrally formed, no additional fixing steps are required during installation, which simplifies the installation process. At the same time, the buckling design of the rear cover 132 and the front cover 131 also makes disassembly simple and quick, and is convenient for maintenance and replacement of parts.

[0062] In addition, by integrally molding the fixing part 14 and the front cover 131, structural integration is achieved, and the stability of the overall structure is enhanced. Such a design scheme can reduce the connection points between the return air duct 13 and the fixing part 14, reduce the risk of failure caused by loose connection, and improve the stability of the operation of the refrigeration device 1.

[0063] The refrigerator according to the utility model is briefly described below.

[0064] The refrigerator according to the utility model includes the refrigeration device 1 in the above embodiment. Since the refrigerator according to the utility model is provided with the refrigeration device 1 in the above embodiment, after the refrigerator is equipped with the refrigeration device 1, due to the design of the fixing portion 14, the installation and removal of the evaporator 12 becomes simpler and faster, thereby improving the convenience of maintenance of the refrigerator. The position-limiting connection between the fixing portion 14 and the evaporator 12 can reduce the displacement or vibration that may occur in the evaporator 12 during operation, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator. In addition, the arrangement relationship between the fixing portion 14 and the return air duct 13 realizes the compactness of the structure of the refrigeration device 1, which helps to save space inside the refrigerator.

[0065] In some embodiments, the fixing portion 14 may also be integrally formed with other necessary structures of the refrigeration device 1 . For example, when an air supply duct needs to be provided on the refrigeration device 1 , the fixing portion 14 may also be integrally formed with the air supply duct and is not limited to the return air duct 13 .

[0066] In summary, the refrigeration device 1 integrates the fixing part 14 on the front cover 131 of the return air duct 13, and sets the mounting hole 112 on the side wall of the shell 11. When the return air duct 13 is assembled, the fixing part 14 can extend into the accommodating cavity 111 after passing through the mounting hole. At this time, the evaporator tube 121 on the evaporator 12 can be directly assembled with the fixing part 14, making the assembly of the evaporator 12 more convenient and quick. The first plate 141 and the second plate 142 are arranged on the fixing part 14 to form a limiting groove 143. The limiting groove 143 is used to clamp the evaporator tube 121. The surfaces of the first plate 141 and the second plate 142 facing each other are formed with arc grooves 145 that are recessed away from each other. The arc groove 145 can make the limiting groove 143 fit the outer surface of the evaporator tube 121, thereby improving the stability of the fixing part 14 fixing the evaporator 12. A plurality of arc grooves 145 are arranged at intervals in the extension direction of the first plate 141 and the second plate 142, so that the fixing portion 14 can adapt to evaporator tubes 121 of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the fixing portion 14. The free ends of the first plate 141 and the second plate 142 are respectively formed with guiding inclined surfaces 144 that are away from each other, thereby making it easier for the evaporator tube 121 to be inserted into the limiting groove 143. The refrigeration device 1 simplifies the assembly process of the evaporator 12 by designing the fixing portion 14, without the need for additional assembly tools, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the evaporator 12 and the stability of the evaporator 12 after assembly.
