[0030] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] An embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator to solve the problem that the bottom plate of the existing refrigerator is troublesome to install, which will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the refrigerator 100 includes a box body 10 and a bottom plate 40, wherein Figure 1 As shown, the box 10 is roughly rectangular in shape, and the box 10 has a storage space for storing items and an installation space for installing other devices; the storage space can be divided into multiple layers, such as a fresh-keeping layer and a freezing layer, and the installation space is mainly used to install a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, a controller, etc. In addition, the box 10 is generally provided with a door body, which can be one (i.e., a single-door refrigerator) or two (i.e., a double-door refrigerator).

[0034] The box body 10 has a bottom surface 11 facing the ground. Specifically, when the refrigerator 100 is in use, the box body 10 stands on the ground along its length direction, and at this time, the bottom surface 11 of the box body 10 faces the ground.

[0035] In this application, if Figure 1 As shown, a reinforcement member 20 is also embedded inside the box body 10, which can improve the structural strength of the box body 10 and prevent the box body 10 from deforming or cracking. Specifically, during the production process of the box body 10, the raw material of the foaming layer is injected into the mold, and then a chemical reaction occurs to generate high temperature and high pressure, so that the raw material of the foaming layer expands and fills the entire mold. In this process, the reinforcement member 20 is also placed in an appropriate position and fixed in the mold together. When the foaming layer cools, the reinforcement member 20 is fixed inside the box body 10 and becomes a part of the box body 10.

[0036] The foam layer is mainly used to isolate the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the refrigerator 100, prevent the loss of cold air, improve the refrigeration and freezing effect, and save energy. It can effectively prevent the external hot air from entering the refrigerator 100, and also slow down the loss of internal temperature, so as to keep the temperature inside the refrigerator 100 stable. In addition, the foam layer also has the function of enhancing structural strength and absorbing and reducing noise. It can absorb and disperse external vibration and noise, reduce the noise and vibration when the refrigerator 100 is running, and improve the stability and durability of the refrigerator 100.

[0037] The material and shape of the reinforcement 20 can be flexibly designed as needed. For example, the reinforcement 20 can be made of steel or cast iron, and the shape of the reinforcement 20 can be plate-shaped, sheet-shaped, strip-shaped or mesh-shaped. By embedding the reinforcement 20 in the box body 10, the carrying capacity of the refrigerator 100 can be effectively improved, the vibration and collision during transportation and handling can be reduced, and the risk of damage can be reduced. At the same time, the reinforcement 20 can also improve the structural strength of the refrigerator 100, prevent the box body 10 from deformation or cracking, and improve the service life and safety of the refrigerator 100.

[0038] Furthermore, in this application, please combine Figure 1 and Figure 3The reinforcing member 20 is also provided with a buckle 30, which protrudes from the bottom surface 11 of the box body 10, and the bottom plate 40 is provided with a clamping groove 41, and the bottom plate 40 is clamped and fixed on the buckle 30 through the clamping groove 41. Specifically, before the reinforcing member 20 is embedded in the box body 10, the buckle 30 is first processed. When the reinforcing member 20 is embedded in the box body 10, the reinforcing member 20 except the buckle 30 is completely located in the box body 10, and the buckle 30 on the reinforcing member 20 protrudes from the bottom surface 11 of the box body 10, so as to facilitate the clamping installation of the bottom plate 40.

[0039] Regarding the specific structure of the buckle 30, optionally, in one embodiment, as Figure 4 or Figure 5 As shown, the buckle 30 includes a connecting portion 31 and a limiting portion 32, both of which are plate-shaped. The connecting portion 31 is connected to the reinforcement 20 and extends in a direction away from the bottom surface 11. The limiting portion 32 is connected to the connecting portion 31, specifically, connected to one end of the connecting portion 31 away from the bottom surface 11, and a snap-on space 33 is formed between the limiting portion 32 and the bottom surface 11 of the box body 10.

[0040] A slot 41 is provided on the bottom plate 40 at a position corresponding to the buckle 30. The width of the slot 41 is greater than the thickness of the buckle 30, and the length of the slot 41 is also greater than the length of the buckle 30, so that the buckle 30 can smoothly pass through the slot 41. For example, in one embodiment, the width of the slot 41 is 1.5 times the thickness of the buckle 30, and the length of the slot 41 is 1.2 times the length of the buckle 30.

[0041] When the bottom plate 40 is installed on the box body 10, the connecting part 31 of the buckle 30 is inserted into the slot 41, and the plate body of the bottom plate 40 is snapped into the snapping space 33, so that the bottom plate 40 can be snapped and fixed to the buckle 30 on the reinforcement 20. In this way, not only the structural strength of the box body 10 can be improved through the reinforcement 20, but also the convenience of installing the bottom plate 40 on the box body 10 is improved, and the reinforcement 20 can better support and limit the bottom plate 40, so that the installation of the bottom plate 40 on the box body 10 is more stable.

[0042] Optionally, in one embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the limiting portion 32 has a limiting surface 321 facing the bottom surface 11, and the limiting surface 321 has a first end 3211 and a second end 3212 opposite to each other, the first end 3211 is connected to the connecting portion 31, and the second end 3212 is inclined in a direction away from the bottom surface 11. That is, the entire limiting surface 321 extends obliquely, and the width of the clamping space 33 is smaller as it is closer to the connecting portion 31, which can not only guide the installation of the bottom plate 40, making the installation process of the bottom plate 40 smoother, but also enable the buckle 30 to clamp the bottom plates 40 of different thicknesses, avoiding the situation where each thickness of the bottom plate 40 needs to be equipped with a buckle 30, thereby reducing the production cost of the refrigerator 100.

[0043] Optionally, in one embodiment, the distance between the first end 3211 and the bottom surface 11 is smaller than the thickness of the bottom plate 40 at the slot 41, thereby preventing the bottom plate 40 from having a gap with the limiting surface 321 or the bottom surface 11 after being installed, thereby preventing the bottom plate 40 from shaking during use, thereby ensuring that the bottom plate 40 can be tightly clamped on the buckle 30.

[0044] Optionally, in one embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting portion 31 is provided with an arcuate concave surface 311, one end of the arcuate concave surface 311 is connected to the reinforcing member 20, and the other end is connected to the first end 3211. It can be understood that the arcuate concave surface 311 can improve the elastic deformation ability of the buckle 30 and avoid the buckle 30 from breaking when the bottom plate 40 is inserted.

[0045] Further, the radius of the arc-shaped concave surface 311 is less than or equal to three quarters of the thickness of the bottom plate 40 at the slot 41. Specifically, the radius of the arc-shaped concave surface 311 can be three quarters, two quarters, one quarter, one fifth, etc. of the thickness of the bottom plate 40 at the slot 41. It can be understood that this can ensure that the width of the clamping space 33 at the arc-shaped concave surface 311 is less than the thickness of the bottom plate 40 to better clamp the bottom plate 40, and can also prevent the arc-shaped concave surface 311 from being too large to affect the structural strength of the buckle 30.

[0046] Optionally, in one embodiment, as Figure 4 or Figure 5 As shown, the reinforcement member 20 includes a reinforcement plate 21 and a connecting plate 22 connected in an L shape, the reinforcement plate 21 extends along the height direction of the box 10, and the reinforcement plate 21 is located at the side edge 12 of the box 10, thereby strengthening the structural strength of the box 10. The connecting plate 22 is located at the bottom of the box 10, and the buckle 30 is provided on the connecting plate 22, so that the bottom plate 40 can be fixed on the buckle 30 and cover at least part of the bottom surface 11 of the box 10.

[0047] For further information, please refer to Figure 4The buckle 30 is formed by bending a part of the connecting plate body 22. Specifically, the buckle 30 before bending can be stamped out on the connecting plate body 22, and then the buckle 30 is bent so that the buckle 30 protrudes from the surface of the connecting plate body. This not only has a simple structure and is easy to process, but also makes it difficult for the buckle 30 to loosen or fall off relative to the connecting plate body, thereby clamping the bottom plate 40 more stably.

[0048] Optionally, in one embodiment, reference may be made to Figure 2 There are multiple buckles 30, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the bottom plate 40. Correspondingly, there are also multiple card slots 41 on the bottom plate 40, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the bottom plate 40. Each card slot 41 is correspondingly connected to a buckle 30, so that the card connection installation of the bottom plate 40 can be more stable.

[0049] It should be noted that multiple buckles 30 can be set on the same reinforcement 20, as long as part of the plate body of the reinforcement 20 extends along the length direction of the bottom plate 40, and enough buckles 30 are arranged at intervals. Alternatively, there can be multiple reinforcements 20, each reinforcement 20 is provided with at least one buckle 30, so as to form multiple buckles 30. For example, in one embodiment, there are multiple reinforcements 20, each reinforcement 20 is provided with at least one buckle 30, and multiple reinforcements 20 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the bottom plate 40, and the bottom plate 40 is simultaneously clamped and fixed on multiple reinforcements 20. It can be understood that this can not only further strengthen the structural strength of the box body 10, but also make the clamping installation of the bottom plate 40 more stable.

[0050] Of course, in order to further improve the installation stability of the bottom plate 40 , the bottom plate 40 may be fixed or limited by screws to prevent the bottom plate 40 from accidentally falling off the buckle 30 .

[0051] For example, in one embodiment, please combine Figure 6 and Figure 7 The reinforcement member 20 is also provided with a first screw hole 23, and the bottom plate 40 is also provided with a second screw hole 42 at a position corresponding to the first screw hole 23. The refrigerator 100 further includes a first screw 50, and the first screw 50 is screwed and fixed in the first screw hole 23 and the second screw hole 42. During assembly, the bottom plate 40 can be firstly snapped and fixed on the buckle 30, and then the bottom plate 40 and the reinforcement member 20 are further fixed by the first screw 50.

[0052] Or, in another embodiment, Figure 8As shown, the bottom plate 40 is further provided with a limiting hole 43, which may be a waist-shaped hole, and the reinforcing member 20 is further fixed with a screw 60, a portion of which is embedded in the box body 10 together with the reinforcing member 20, and the other portion protrudes from the bottom surface 11. During assembly, the bottom plate 40 is clamped and fixed on the buckle 30, and the screw 60 is also inserted into the limiting hole 43. The refrigerator 100 further includes a nut 70, which is screwed on the screw 60 and presses the bottom plate 40, thereby further fixing the bottom plate 40.

[0053] Alternatively, in another embodiment, Fig. 9 As shown, a second screw hole 42 is further provided on the reinforcement 20 or the box body 10, and the refrigerator 100 also includes a second screw 80, which is screwed into the second screw hole 42, and the second screw 80 abuts against the side of the bottom plate 40 to limit the bottom plate 40 from being separated from the buckle 30. In this way, there is no need to make a hole on the bottom plate 40, and the bottom plate 40 can be prevented from being separated from the buckle 30, thereby ensuring that the bottom plate 40 is stably installed on the bottom surface 11 of the box body 10.
