[0028] The utility model provides a built-in refrigerator, with an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 14 at the bottom, and the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 are both arranged at the front side of the built-in refrigerator, which can dissipate heat towards a space without a cabinet to improve the heat dissipation capacity.

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The built-in refrigerator includes a box body, a bottom plate assembly 10, a shell 20 and a cooling assembly 30. A box door (not shown in the figure) is provided on one side of the box body (not shown in the figure). The side of the box body with the box door is the front side. The bottom plate assembly 10 is installed at the bottom of the box body, and the front side of the bottom plate assembly 10 is provided with an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 14. The shell 20 is located between the box body and the bottom plate assembly 10 and is connected to the bottom plate assembly 10. The shell 20 is configured with a cooling chamber 21, and the cooling chamber 21 is connected to the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14. The cooling assembly 30 is installed in the cooling chamber 21, including a condenser 31, a bracket 32 ​​and a fan 33. The bracket 32 ​​is hollow and the inner wall of the bracket 32 ​​forms a heat dissipation cavity. The condenser 31 and the fan 33 are both connected to the inner wall of the bracket 32 ​​and are located in the heat dissipation cavity.

[0030] In this way, the bottom plate assembly 10 is located at the bottom of the box body, reducing the impact of its structural setting on the space inside the box body. The fan 33 in the cooling assembly 30 can accelerate the air flow to take away the high temperature in the cooling chamber 21. The air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 are both connected to the cooling chamber 21, so when the fan 33 is working, it drives the air to flow in from the air inlet 13, and then flows out from the air outlet 14 after passing through the cooling chamber 21. The air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 are both located on the front side of the built-in refrigerator, so the heat dissipation path is smooth and will not be affected by the embedded installation of the built-in refrigerator in the cabinet. In addition, since the condenser 31 and the fan 33 are both installed in the heat dissipation cavity formed by the bracket 32, the heat dissipation air can completely pass through the condenser 31, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the condenser 31 and the air to ensure the heat dissipation effect.

[0031] It should be explained that the heat dissipation cavity formed by the inner wall of the bracket 32 ​​is not a closed space. Along the axial direction of the bracket 32, both ends of the heat dissipation cavity are connected to the fan 33, and under the action of the fan 33, the heat dissipation air enters the heat dissipation cavity from one end and flows out from the other end.

[0032] For further information, see Figure 4-Figure 5 The condenser 31 and the fan 33 are arranged at intervals, and the outer wall of the condenser 31 is circumferentially abutted against the inner wall of the bracket 32, and the outer wall of the fan 33 is circumferentially abutted against the inner wall of the bracket 32. In this way, the connection area between the condenser 31 and the bracket 32 ​​is large, the connection strength is high, and a stable connection can be ensured even under the condition of continuous blowing of the heat dissipating air. Similarly, the fan 33 and the bracket 32 ​​are also connected circumferentially to improve the stability of the connection.

[0033] Of course, it is understandable that, provided that the connection strength between the condenser 31 and the bracket 32 ​​and the connection strength between the fan 33 and the bracket 32 ​​can be ensured, the connection can also be achieved through other means, such as through several connection points.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, a shock-absorbing sponge is also provided on the outer peripheral side of the condenser 31 , and is connected to the bracket 32 ​​via the shock-absorbing sponge, so as to prevent the vibration generated by the component during operation from affecting the condenser 31 .

[0035] In other embodiments, the shock-absorbing sponge may also be replaced by materials having a shock-absorbing effect such as shock-absorbing rubber.

[0036] Furthermore, along the vertical direction and the horizontal direction (here, the vertical direction refers to the state when the built-in refrigerator is placed vertically in daily use, that is, the vertical direction refers to the direction opposite to the gravity, and the horizontal direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the gravity direction), the diameter of the fan 33 is the same, and the distance between the condenser 31 and the fan 33 is half of the diameter of the fan 33 in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. In this way, the distance between the condenser 31 and the fan 33 is reasonably set, which can avoid air turbulence caused by too small a distance between the two, affecting the air flow effect and the heat dissipation effect, and also prevent the distance between the two from being too large to cause space waste.

[0037] The side of the bracket 32 ​​close to the condenser 31 is provided with a flange (not shown in the figure), and when the condenser 31 is installed in the heat dissipation cavity, the flange abuts against the side of the condenser 31 away from the fan 33. In this way, after the condenser 31 is installed in place, the flange is folded and abuts against the condenser 31 to ensure that the condenser 31 will not fall off, thereby further improving the installation stability of the condenser 31.

[0038] Furthermore, the flange and the condenser 31 may be further connected by screws for reinforcement, or connected by bonding, welding, and the like.

[0039] The cooling assembly 30 further includes a cover plate 34, which is disposed on one side of the bracket 32 ​​near the fan 33 and is detachably connected to the bracket 32 ​​and connected to the fan 33. Preferably, the cover plate 34 is inserted by a front hook and fixed by a rear screw, which is convenient for maintenance and disassembly. The cover plate 34 ensures that the fan 33 will not fall off the bracket 32, so as to strengthen the overall installation stability of the cooling assembly 30.

[0040] The middle of the cover plate 34 is hollowed out to form a ring-like structure. The fan 33 can extend from the hollow in the middle of the cover plate 34, so the cover plate 34 can strengthen the connection of the fan 33 without affecting the flow of air. The cover plate 34 is connected to the bracket 32 ​​and the bottom plate assembly 10 at the same time, so it can also improve the overall installation stability of the bracket 32, that is, ensure the installation strength of the cooling assembly 30.

[0041] The bottom plate assembly 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and an air guide plate 12. The air guide plate 12 is located at the lower side of the bottom plate 11 and connected to the bottom plate 11. The air guide plate 12 is spaced apart from the bottom plate 11 to form an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 14 in cooperation with the bottom plate 11. In this way, the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 are formed in a relatively simple manner with low cost, and the air guide plate 12 and the bottom plate 11 can form an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 14 in a narrow and long shape, which is suitable for the ventilation channel of the built-in refrigerator.

[0042] The flow area of ​​the air inlet 13 is S1, and the flow area of ​​the air outlet 14 is S2, and S1 and S2 satisfy 0.9*S2≤S1≤1.1*S2, thereby ensuring the stability of air inflow and outflow, without excessive power waste or insufficient heat dissipation.

[0043] The size of the air outlet 14 can be flexibly set to be the air volume required for the refrigerator to dissipate heat divided by the wind speed. The air volume required for the refrigerator to dissipate heat is calculated based on the refrigeration capacity of the entire refrigerator. The wind speed is between 0.3m / s and 0.6m / s.

[0044] A partition 121 is provided between the bottom plate 11 and the air guide plate 12, and the upper and lower sides of the partition 121 are connected to the bottom plate 11 and the air guide plate 12 respectively, so as to separate the gap between the bottom plate 11 and the air guide plate 12 into an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 14. The partition 121 facilitates the formation of the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14, reduces the processing difficulty of the bottom plate 11 and the air guide plate 12, and the partition 121 can be made of a sponge with adhesive, and the material cost and process cost are low. In other embodiments, the partition 121 can also be made of other solid materials, such as a plastic plate or a stainless steel plate, etc., and is not limited to the above-mentioned sponge solution.

[0045] In addition, a water receiving tray 40 is also provided in the cooling chamber 21, the water receiving tray 40 is connected to the bottom plate assembly 10, and the cooling assembly 30 is installed on the water receiving tray 40. The water receiving tray 40 can receive the condensed water on the cooling assembly 30 to prevent the condensed water from overflowing and staying outside the built-in refrigerator.

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the utility model sets the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 at the front side of the built-in refrigerator, so that the heat dissipation path is smooth and will not be affected by the embedded refrigerator being installed in the cabinet. And because the condenser 31 and the fan 33 are both installed in the heat dissipation cavity formed by the bracket 32, the heat dissipation air can completely pass through the condenser 31, improving the heat exchange efficiency between the condenser 31 and the air to ensure the heat dissipation effect.

[0047] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0048] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
