[0036] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described 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, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] Most refrigerators on the market use a back-mounted evaporator layout, that is, the evaporator is set on the back side of the refrigerator's inner tank. In addition, in order to reduce heat transfer between the evaporator and the outside world, a thicker insulation structure is required at the back of the refrigerator, which results in the evaporator and its insulation structure occupying a larger space, which is not conducive to increasing the effective volume of the refrigerator.

[0038] In view of this, the present application provides a refrigerator in which the evaporator and the freezing air duct are centrally arranged. On the one hand, it can save the rear space occupied by the evaporator and the insulation layer provided to insulate the evaporator from the outside world. On the other hand, it makes the evaporator farther away from the external environment, reducing the heat transfer between the evaporator and the external environment. Moreover, since the temperature difference between the freezer compartment, the refrigerator compartment and the evaporator is much smaller than the temperature difference between the evaporator and the external environment, the refrigerator reduces the thickness requirement of the insulation layer of the evaporator, which is beneficial to increase the effective volume inside the refrigerator.

[0039] Combination Figure 1-Figure 11 The refrigerator 100 of this embodiment may be a double-door refrigerator 100, and of course may also be other types of refrigerators 100.

[0040] The refrigerator 100 may include a box body 1, which serves as a main frame of the refrigerator 100 and can provide an installation platform and support for other components of the refrigerator 100. The box body 1 is roughly in the shape of a cube.

[0041] refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 The refrigerator 100 may further include a partition assembly 10, which is disposed in the housing 1. The partition assembly 10 is used to partition the inner cavity of the housing 1 into a refrigerating chamber 130 and a freezing chamber 120. The refrigerating chamber 130 and the freezing chamber 120 are arranged side by side. For example, the refrigerating chamber 130 and the freezing chamber 120 are arranged side by side along a first direction (i.e., a left-right direction), and the freezing chamber 120 is located on the left, and the refrigerating chamber 130 is located on the right.

[0042] The front sides of the refrigerating chamber 130 and the freezing chamber 120 are open, and the cabinet 1 further comprises a first door body and a second door body, wherein the first door body is used for opening and closing the refrigerating chamber 130 , and the second door body is used for opening and closing the freezing chamber 120 .

[0043] The partition assembly 10 here can be independent of the refrigeration liner 13 and the freezing liner 12 of the refrigerator 100; or, it can also be composed of a part of the refrigeration liner 13 and the freezing liner 12; still alternatively, a part can be independent of the refrigeration liner 13 and the freezing liner 12 of the refrigerator 100, and the other part can be composed of a partial structure of at least one of the refrigeration liner 13 and the freezing liner 12.

[0044] A freezing air duct 211 and a partial refrigerating air duct 31 are provided at the partition component 10. The freezing air duct 211 has a first air outlet 212, and the first air outlet 212 is arranged on the side of the partition component 10 facing the freezing chamber 120. The freezing air duct 211 can transport the airflow cooled by the evaporator 4 to the freezing chamber 120, while only a part of the refrigerating air duct 31 is arranged on the partition component 10, and the refrigerating air duct 31 has a second air outlet 313, and the second air outlet 313 is arranged on the other side of the refrigerating chamber 130 except the side where the partition component 10 is located. For example, the second air outlet 313 can be arranged on the side of the refrigerating chamber 130 opposite to the opening, or on the side of the refrigerating chamber 130 opposite to the partition component 10, or on the top of the refrigerating chamber 130. The refrigerating air duct 31 can transport the airflow cooled by the evaporator 4 to the refrigerating chamber 130.

[0045] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The first air outlet 212 may be multiple, and the multiple first air outlets 212 are arranged vertically at intervals to improve the diffusion efficiency of the cold air in the freezing chamber 120 and make the temperature in the freezing chamber 120 uniform; Figure 1 and Figure 2There may also be a plurality of second air outlets 313 , which are arranged vertically at intervals to improve the diffusion efficiency of cold air in the refrigerating chamber 130 and make the temperature in the refrigerating chamber 130 uniform.

[0046] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 The refrigeration system may include an evaporator 4, which is disposed in the inner cavity of the partition assembly 10. The evaporator 4 absorbs heat when working, thereby exchanging heat with the air around the evaporator 4 to cool the air.

[0047] The refrigeration system may include a fan 5, which is disposed in the inner cavity of the partition assembly 10, and the fan 5 is configured to drive the airflow to flow toward the refrigerating air duct 31 and / or the freezing air duct 211. For example, the fan 5 can drive the airflow to flow only toward the refrigerating air duct 31, or only toward the freezing air duct 211, or simultaneously toward the refrigerating air duct 31 and the freezing air duct 211 according to control. Optionally, at least one of the refrigerating air duct 31 and the freezing air duct 211 is provided with a damper, for example, the refrigerating air duct 31 is provided with a first damper, and the freezing air duct 211 is provided with a second damper, the first damper is used to control the on / off and opening size of the refrigerating air duct 31, so as to control the air flow in the refrigerating air duct 31, and the second damper is used to control the on / off and opening size of the freezing air duct 211, so as to control the air flow in the freezing air duct 211.

[0048] In the refrigerator 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the evaporator 4 and the freezing air duct 211 are arranged at the partition component 10 between the refrigerating chamber 130 and the freezing chamber 120, so that the evaporator 4 and the freezing air duct 211 are in a central layout. Compared with the rear layout in which the evaporator 4 is arranged on the rear side of the inner tank of the refrigerator 100 in the related art, on the one hand, it can save the evaporator 4 and the rear space occupied by the insulation layer provided to insulate the evaporator 4 from the outside world. On the other hand, it makes the evaporator 4 farther away from the external environment, reducing the heat transfer between the evaporator 4 and the external environment. Moreover, since the temperature difference between the freezing chamber 120, the refrigerating chamber 130 and the evaporator 4 is much smaller than the temperature difference between the evaporator 4 and the external environment, the refrigerator 100 reduces the requirement for the thickness of the insulation layer of the evaporator 4, which is beneficial to increase the effective volume inside the refrigerator 100.

[0049] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second air outlet 313 is disposed on the side of the refrigerating chamber 130 opposite to the opening of the box body 1, that is, the second air outlet 313 is disposed on the rear side wall of the refrigerating chamber 130. In this way, it is possible to avoid that when both the first air outlet 212 and the second air outlet 313 are disposed on the partition assembly 10, the layout of the refrigerating air duct 31 and the freezing air duct 211 is relatively crowded, which is not conducive to improving the air outlet efficiency of the freezing chamber 120 and the refrigerating chamber 130.

[0050] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The box body 1 includes a freezing liner 12, which defines a freezing chamber 120. The freezing liner 12 has a first side wall 121 facing the refrigerating chamber 130. For example, the first side wall 121 can be the right side wall of the freezing liner 12. The first side wall 121 is provided with a first avoidance portion 122. The first avoidance portion 122 can be formed by the first side wall 121 of the freezing liner 12 being recessed or penetrated toward the refrigerating chamber 130.

[0051] The box body 1 also includes a refrigerated liner 13, which can define a refrigerated chamber 130. The refrigerated liner 13 has a second side wall 131 facing the freezer chamber 120. For example, the second side wall 131 can be the left side wall of the refrigerated liner 13, and the first side wall 121 and the second side wall 131 together constitute a partition assembly 10. In other words, in this embodiment, the partition assembly 10 is composed of the side walls of the freezer liner 12 and the refrigerated liner 13 facing each other. In this way, compared with the solution of making the partition assembly 10 independent of the freezer liner 12 and the refrigerated liner 13, the space occupied by the partition assembly 10 and the evaporator 4 in the width direction of the refrigerator 100 can be further reduced, thereby increasing the internal effective volume of the refrigerator 100.

[0052] The box body 1 may further include a first air duct member 2, which may be a first air duct cover plate. The first air duct member 2 is covered on the first avoidance portion 122 and defines a freezing air duct 211 and a part of the refrigeration air duct 31. The first air outlet 212 is provided on the first air duct member 2. For example, when the first avoidance portion 122 is formed as a groove structure, the first air duct member 2 and the freezing liner 12 define a freezing air duct 211 and a part of the refrigeration air duct 31; when the first avoidance portion 122 is formed as a hole structure, the first air duct member 2 and the refrigeration liner 13 define a freezing air duct 211 and a part of the refrigeration air duct 31; or, the first air duct member 2 has a certain thickness, and the first air duct member 2 itself defines the freezing air duct 211 and a part of the refrigeration air duct 31. In this way, the layout forms of the freezing air duct 211 and the refrigeration air duct 31 on the partition assembly 10 are diverse, the integration is high, and it is easy to implement.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first avoidance portion 122 is formed as a first avoidance groove, and a duct partition rib 21 is provided on the side of the first air duct member 2 facing the refrigerated inner tank 13, and the duct partition rib 21 divides the space between the first air duct member 2 and the groove wall (e.g., the right groove wall) of the first avoidance groove into a refrigerated air duct 31 and a frozen air duct 211. In other words, in this embodiment, the frozen air duct 211 and a part of the refrigerated air duct 31 are both arranged on the side of the first side wall 121 of the frozen inner tank 12 facing the freezing chamber 120, and the refrigerated air duct 31 is separated from the freezing chamber 120 by the first air duct member 2.

[0054] For example Fig. 9 As shown, the air duct partition rib 21 can extend vertically, and the height of the air duct partition rib 21 along the first direction matches the spacing between the first air duct member 2 and the right groove wall of the first avoidance portion 122. In this way, after the first air duct member 2 is assembled to the first avoidance portion 122, the air duct partition rib 21 abuts against the right groove wall of the first avoidance portion 122, and the space between the first air duct member 2 and the freezing liner 12 is divided into a refrigeration air duct 31 and a freezing air duct 211. In this way, the refrigeration air duct 31 and the freezing air duct 211 can be formed by the first air duct member 2, and the structure of the first air duct member 2 is relatively simple and easy to implement.

[0055] refer to Figure 8 , considering that the second air outlet 313 of the refrigerating air duct 31 is arranged on the side of the refrigerating chamber 130 opposite to the opening of the box body 1, and the second air outlet 313 is arranged at the position of the partition component 10, so that in the second direction (such as the front-to-back direction), the second air outlet 313 is at the rear side of the first air outlet 212. Therefore, in order to shorten the length of the refrigerating air duct 31 and reduce the air volume loss in the refrigerating air duct 31, the refrigerating air duct 31 can be arranged at the rear side of the freezing air duct 211, and the width of the refrigerating air duct 31 can be smaller than the width of the freezing air duct 211, so that the width of the freezing air duct 211 is adapted to the width of the first air outlet 212 of the freezing air duct 211, thereby ensuring the air outlet efficiency of the freezing chamber 120.

[0056] Optionally, in some other embodiments, the first avoidance portion 122 can be formed as a first avoidance through hole, that is, the first avoidance portion 122 passes through the freezing liner 12 along the first direction. At this time, the first air duct member 2 is covered on the first avoidance portion 122, and the air duct partition ribs 21 on the first air duct member 2 can directly abut against the second side wall 131 of the refrigeration liner 13, so that the freezing air duct 211 and part of the refrigeration air duct 31 are defined between the first air duct member 2 and the second side wall 131 of the refrigeration liner 13.

[0057] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first avoidance portion 122 is formed as a first avoidance groove or a first avoidance through hole, and the first air duct member 2 itself has a certain thickness, so that the first air duct member 2 itself can define the freezing air duct 211 and part of the refrigeration air duct 31.

[0058] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2, the refrigeration air duct 31 may include a first air duct section 311 and a second air duct section 312. The first air duct section 311 is located between the first air duct member 2 and the groove wall of the first avoidance groove, that is, the first air duct member 2 and the freezing liner 12 define the first air duct section 311 of the refrigeration air duct 31, and the first air duct section 311 is located on the side of the freezing liner 12 facing away from the refrigeration chamber 130. The refrigeration system also includes a second air duct member 3, which is arranged on the side wall of the refrigeration liner 13 opposite to the opening of the box body 1, and the second air duct member 3 and the refrigeration liner 13 jointly define the second air duct section 312, and the second air outlet 313 is opened on the second air duct member 3. In this way, the part of the refrigeration air duct 31 located on the side of the refrigeration chamber 130 is relatively simple in structure and easy to implement.

[0059] Combination Figure 4-Figure 6 , the groove wall of the first avoidance portion 122 and the second side wall 131 are respectively provided with air vents to connect the first air duct section 311 and the second air duct section 312. For example, the groove wall of the first avoidance portion 122 of the freezing liner 12 is provided with a first air vent 125, and the second side wall 131 of the refrigeration liner 13 is provided with a second air vent 134. The first air vent 125 and the second air vent 134 can be arranged relative to each other, or can also be connected by a tubular connector. In this way, the refrigeration air duct 31 can guide the cold air from the freezing liner 12 toward the side of the freezing chamber 120 to the refrigeration chamber 130, and the structure is relatively simple and easy to implement.

[0060] Optionally, the second air duct section 312 may include a plurality of air duct branches, and each air duct branch is provided with at least one second air outlet 313 .

[0061] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 The second air duct member 3 protrudes from the side wall of the refrigerated liner 13 that opens toward the box body 1 (i.e., the rear side wall of the refrigerated liner 13), and the plurality of second air outlets 313 include a front air outlet 3131 and a lower air outlet 3132. The front air outlet 3131 is arranged on the side wall of the second air duct member 3 that opens toward the box body 1 (i.e., the front side wall of the second air duct member 3), and the lower air outlet 3132 is arranged on the lower side wall of the second air duct member 3. In this way, the air in the refrigerated chamber 130 can be discharged both forward and downward, which helps to improve the diffusion efficiency of the cold air in the refrigerated chamber 130 and improve the temperature uniformity in the refrigerated chamber 130.

[0062] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The first air duct member 2 is flush with the first side wall 121 except the first avoidance portion 122. In this way, on the one hand, one side of the freezer compartment 120 is more concise and beautiful, and on the other hand, the concave-convex structure on the inner wall of the freezer compartment 120 is avoided to affect the effective volume of the freezer compartment 120.

[0063] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4The first side wall 121 of the freezing chamber 120 is further provided with a second avoidance portion 123, and the evaporator 4 is provided at the second avoidance portion 123. The refrigeration system further includes a mounting cover plate 7, and the mounting cover plate 7 is covered on the second avoidance portion 123 to cover the evaporator 4. For example, when the second avoidance portion 123 is formed as a second avoidance groove, at this time, the second avoidance groove is located on the side of the first side wall 121 facing the freezing chamber 120, so that the evaporator 4 is located on the side of the first side wall 121 facing the freezing chamber 120; when the second avoidance portion 123 is formed as a second avoidance hole, the evaporator 4 is located between the first side wall 121 of the freezing chamber 120 and the second side wall 131 of the refrigerating chamber 130. By providing the mounting cover plate 7, it is ensured that the space where the evaporator 4 is located is a relatively closed space, thereby ensuring the normal realization of the refrigeration and air supply functions.

[0064] Optionally, the cover plate 7 is installed flush with the first side wall 121 except the second avoidance portion 123 . This makes one side of the freezer compartment 120 more concise and beautiful on the one hand, and avoids the presence of concave-convex structures on the inner wall of the freezer compartment 120 to affect the effective volume of the freezer compartment 120 on the other hand.

[0065] It can be understood that the first avoidance portion 122 and the second avoidance portion 123 are interconnected, so that the space where the evaporator 4 is located can be ensured to be connected with the freezing air duct 211 and the refrigeration air duct 31 to ensure smooth air supply.

[0066] Optionally, the fan 5 may be disposed in the first avoidance portion 122 and arranged adjacent to the connection between the first avoidance portion 122 and the second avoidance portion 123, such as Figure 4 As shown; alternatively, the fan 5 may also be disposed in the second avoidance portion 123 and arranged adjacent to the connection between the first avoidance portion 122 and the second avoidance portion 123 to ensure that the fan 5 can deliver the air cooled by the evaporator 4 to the refrigeration duct 31 and the freezing duct 211.

[0067] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 The refrigerator 100 may further include: a heat insulating member 8, which may be disposed on the second avoidance portion 123, and the heat insulating member 8 is disposed on the side of the evaporator 4 facing the refrigerating chamber 130. Since the temperature of the evaporator 4 is lower than the temperature in the refrigerating chamber 130 when the evaporator 4 is working, in order to avoid direct heat transfer between the evaporator 4 and the refrigerating chamber 130, this embodiment arranges the heat insulating member 8 on the side of the evaporator 4 facing the refrigerating chamber 130, which can significantly reduce heat transfer, thereby improving the working efficiency of the evaporator 4 and the refrigerator 100.

[0068] In some embodiments, the heat insulating member 8 includes at least one of a vacuum insulation panel and a foam member. In this way, the heat insulating performance of the heat insulating member 8 can be ensured, and the cost is low.

[0069] When the insulation member 8 is a vacuum insulation panel, since the vacuum insulation panel has better insulation performance, the thickness range of the vacuum insulation panel can be 15mm-25mm. For example, the thickness of the vacuum insulation panel can be 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 23mm, 24mm, or 25mm. Optionally, the thickness range of the vacuum insulation panel can also be any one of 15mm-18mm, 19mm-22mm, 23mm-25mm. Of course, the present application does not impose any limitation on this, and the actual thickness of the vacuum insulation panel can be reasonably selected within the above range.

[0070] When the heat insulating member 8 is a foamed member, that is, the heat insulating member 8 is formed by foaming a foaming material, the foamed member may include a first foaming portion and a second foaming portion, wherein the first foaming portion is opposite to the evaporator 4, and the thickness of the first foaming portion may range from 55 mm to 65 mm. For example, the thickness of the first foaming portion may range from 55 mm, 56 mm, 57 mm, 58 mm, 59 mm, 60 mm, 61 mm, 62 mm, 65 mm, 66 mm or 65 mm. Optionally, the thickness of the first foaming portion may range from 55 mm to 58 mm, 59 mm to 62 mm, or 63 mm to 65 mm. The present application does not impose any restrictions on this, and the actual thickness of the first foaming portion may be reasonably selected within the above range. In this way, the heat insulation between the evaporator 4 and the refrigerating chamber 130 may be fully ensured.

[0071] The second foaming portion can be arranged at a position other than the evaporator 4 between the freezing liner 12 and the refrigerating liner 13. The thickness range of the second foaming portion can be 35mm-45mm. For example, the thickness of the first foaming portion can be 35mm, 36mm, 37mm, 38mm, 39mm, 40mm, 41mm, 42mm, 43mm, 44mm or 45mm. Optionally, the thickness range of the first foaming portion can be any one of 35mm-38mm, 39mm-42mm, 43mm-45mm. The present application does not impose any restriction on this. The actual thickness of the first foaming portion can be reasonably selected within the above range.

[0072] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the freezing chamber 120 is further provided with a first return air vent 124, and the inner wall of the refrigerating chamber 130 is further provided with a second return air vent 133, wherein the first return air vent 124 is arranged at the bottom of the first side wall 121 of the freezing liner 12, and is communicated with the space where the evaporator 4 is located, and the second return air vent 133 is arranged at the bottom of the second side wall 131 of the refrigerating liner 13, and is communicated with the space where the evaporator 4 is located. In this way, air circulation inside the refrigerator 100 can be achieved, which is conducive to continuous refrigeration.

[0073] In some embodiments, reference Fig.10 and Fig.11The box body 1 may further include an outer shell 1, and a compressor compartment 135 is defined between one of the refrigerated liner 13 and the frozen liner 12 and the outer shell 1. The refrigeration system further includes: a compressor 6, which is arranged in the compressor compartment 135 and is connected to the evaporator 4. For example, the compressor compartment 135 may be defined by the refrigerated liner 13 and the outer shell 1, in which case a step structure 132 is provided at the bottom of the rear side wall of the refrigerated liner 13, the step structure 132 and the outer shell 1 together define the compressor compartment 135, and the compressor 6 may be arranged in the compressor compartment 135; or, the compressor compartment 135 may be defined by the frozen liner 12 and the outer shell 1, in which case a step structure 132 is provided at the bottom of the rear side wall of the frozen liner 12, the step structure 132 and the outer shell 1 together define the compressor compartment 135, and the compressor 6 may be arranged in the compressor compartment 135.

[0074] Preferably, reference Fig.11 The compressor compartment 135 is located on one side of the refrigerating chamber 130, and the width A of the refrigerating liner 13 is greater than 450 mm. The width of the compressor compartment is adapted to the width of the refrigerating liner 13. For the single-system refrigerator 100, the piping layout of the compressor compartment 135 is relatively simple, so the compressor 6 can be better accommodated. In addition, the step structure 132 on one side of the freezing chamber 120 is eliminated, which is beneficial to increase the effective volume of the freezing chamber 120.
