[0037] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0038] Combination Figure 1-7 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air duct assembly, including: a first cover body 100, a second cover body 200, a third cover body 300 and a damper 400. The second cover body 200 is covered on one side of the first cover body 100, and together with the first cover body 100, a first flow cavity 510 is enclosed; the third cover body 300 abuts against the first cover body 100 and the second cover body 200, and a second flow cavity 520 is defined, and the first flow cavity 510 is connected with the second flow cavity 520; the damper 400 is assembled in the second flow cavity 520.

[0039] By using the air duct assembly provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second cover body 200 can be covered on one side of the first cover body 100, and the third cover body 300 can be abutted against the first cover body 100 and the second cover body 200, so that the first circulation cavity 510 is connected with the second circulation cavity 520. The damper 400 is assembled in the second circulation cavity 520. When the damper 400 and the cavity wall of the second circulation cavity 520 are sealed, even if a gap appears in the cavity wall of the second circulation cavity 520, since the first circulation cavity 510 is separately enclosed by the first cover body 100 and the second cover body 200, the gap will not extend into the first circulation cavity 510, thereby shortening the extension of the gap and reducing the risk of air leakage.

[0040] Combination Figures 1 to 3As shown, in one embodiment, part of one side wall of the third cover body 300 abuts against the first cover body 100, and the rest of one side wall of the third cover body 300 abuts against the second cover body 200, and the inner side of the third cover body 300 defines a second circulation cavity 520. In this way, the damper 400 is assembled in the second circulation cavity 520, that is, assembled in the third cover body 300, and then the first cover body 100, the second cover body 200 and the third cover body 300 are assembled together. In the case of sealing between the damper 400 and the cavity wall of the second circulation cavity 520, since the third cover body 300 is an integrated structure, there will be no gap in the cavity wall of the second circulation cavity 520. The second circulation cavity 520 enclosed by the first cover body 100 and the second cover body 200 will not be affected by the gap, thereby reducing the risk of air leakage.

[0041] Specifically, part of the upper side wall of the third cover body 300 abuts against the lower side wall of the first cover body 100 , and the rest of the upper side wall of the third cover body 300 abuts against the lower side wall of the second cover body 200 .

[0042] Specifically, the second cover 200 is provided with a first air port 210, and the third cover 300 is provided with a second air port 220. In this way, the airflow in the first circulation cavity 510 and the second circulation cavity 520 can be connected to the outside through the first air port 210 and the second air port 220 for convection.

[0043] Optionally, along the vertical direction, the length of the first cover 100 is equal to the length of the second cover 200. In this way, when the first cover 100, the second cover 200 and the third cover 300 are assembled together, since the first cover 100, the second cover 200 and the third cover 300 abut against the same side wall, one of the first cover 100 and the second cover 200 will not protrude from the other, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the air duct assembly in the refrigerator and saving the space occupied by the assembly.

[0044] Optionally, in the vertical direction, the length of the third cover 300 is less than or equal to one-half of the length of the first cover 100, and greater than or equal to one-quarter of the length of the first cover 100. In this way, when the length of the third cover 300 is greater than one-half of the length of the first cover 100, the length of the third cover 300 is too long, making the length of the second circulation cavity 520 too long. The installation stroke of assembling the damper 400 in the second circulation cavity 520 is long, which increases the difficulty of installation and has a greater risk of damaging the cavity wall of the second circulation cavity 520. When the length of the third cover 300 is less than one-quarter of the length of the first cover 100, the length of the third cover 300 is too small, and when the damper 400 is assembled in the second circulation cavity 520, there is a greater risk that the damper 400 protrudes from the surface of the third cover 300. It can be seen that the length of the third cover 300 is less than or equal to one-half of the length of the first cover 100, and greater than or equal to one-quarter of the length of the first cover 100, which is a relatively reasonable range. The installation stroke of assembling the damper 400 in the second circulation cavity 520 is relatively short, which reduces the installation difficulty and the risk of damaging the cavity wall of the second circulation cavity 520 is relatively small. The risk of the damper 400 protruding from the surface of the third cover 300 is also relatively small.

[0045] Specifically, along the vertical direction, the length of the third cover body 300 is equal to one third of the length of the first cover body 100. In this way, the installation stroke of assembling the damper 400 in the second circulation cavity 520 is relatively short, which reduces the installation difficulty and the risk of damaging the cavity wall of the second circulation cavity 520 is relatively small. The risk of the damper 400 protruding from the surface of the third cover body 300 is also relatively small.

[0046] It can be understood that along the vertical direction, the length of the first cover body 100 is equal to the length of the second cover body 200. When the length of the third cover body 300 is equal to one third of the length of the first cover body 100, the length of the third cover body 300 is also equal to one third of the length of the first cover body 100.

[0047] Optionally, a first joint portion 610 is provided between the first cover 100 and the third cover 300 to join the first cover 100 and the third cover 300; a second joint portion 620 is provided between the second cover 200 and the third cover 300 to join the second cover 200 and the third cover 300. In this way, the first cover 100 and the third cover 300 are joined by the first joint portion 610, and the second cover 200 and the third cover 300 are joined by the second joint portion 620, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0048] Specifically, the lower side wall of the first cover body 100 abuts against the upper side wall of the third cover body 300 .

[0049] Optionally, the first joint portion 610 is a first protrusion 611, one end of the first protrusion 611 is fixedly connected to the first cover body 100, and one end of the first protrusion 611 facing away from the first cover body 100 extends into the second flow cavity 520 and abuts against its cavity wall. In this way, the first protrusion 611 extends into the second flow cavity 520 and abuts against its cavity wall, with a larger contact area and higher connection stability.

[0050] Optionally, the second joint portion 620 is a second protrusion 621, one end of the second protrusion 621 is fixedly connected to the second cover body 200, and the end of the second protrusion 621 facing away from the second cover body 200 extends into the second flow cavity 520 and abuts against the cavity wall thereof. In this way, the second protrusion 621 extends into the second flow cavity 520 and abuts against the cavity wall thereof, with a larger contact area and higher connection stability.

[0051] Specifically, the first protrusion 611 is in contact with a side wall of the second cover body 200 and the second protrusion 621 is in contact with a side wall of the first cover body 100. In this way, the first protrusion 611 and the second protrusion 621 are in contact with each other and support each other, thereby increasing the friction between the first protrusion 611 and the second protrusion 621 and the cavity wall of the second flow cavity 520 and improving the stability of the connection.

[0052] Combination Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in another embodiment, the first cover 100 abuts against one side wall of the third cover 300, the second cover 200 abuts against another adjacent side wall of the third cover 300, and a portion of the second cover 200 and the third cover 300 enclose a second flow cavity 520. In this way, the damper 400 can be first assembled in one of the third cover 300 and the portion corresponding to the second cover 200 and the third cover 300, and then the other cover is assembled, and then the damper 400 is assembled into the second flow cavity 520. The assembly process is more intuitive and simple, reducing the risk of damaging the cavity wall of the second flow cavity 520. When sealing is performed between the damper 400 and the cavity wall of the second circulation cavity 520, even if a gap appears between the second cover body 200 and the third cover body 300, since the first circulation cavity 510 is separately enclosed by the first cover body 100 and the second cover body 200, and the first cover body 100 and the third cover body 300 are separately arranged, the gap will not extend into the first circulation cavity 510, thereby shortening the extension of the gap and reducing the risk of air leakage.

[0053] Optionally, part of one side wall of the second cover 200 is covered on one side of the first cover 100, and the rest of one side wall of the second cover 200 is in contact with the third cover 300. In this way, the first cover 100 and the third cover 300 are assembled on the same side wall of the second cover 200, and the assembly process is more intuitive and simpler.

[0054] Specifically, in the vertical direction, the length of the first cover 100 plus the length of the third cover 300 is equal to the length of the second cover 200. In this way, when the first cover 100 and the third cover 300 are assembled on the second cover 200, the risk of the first cover 100 and the third cover 300 protruding from both ends of the second cover 200 is reduced. This reduces the difficulty of assembling the air duct assembly in the refrigerator and saves the space occupied by the assembly.

[0055] Optionally, a third splicing portion 630 is provided between the second cover 200 and the third cover 300 to splice the second cover 200 and the third cover 300. In this way, the second cover 200 and the third cover 300 are spliced ​​by the third splicing portion 630, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0056] Optionally, the third joint portion 630 includes: a third protrusion 631 and a third groove 632. One of the second cover 200 and the third cover 300 is provided with the third protrusion 631, and the other is provided with the third groove 632; wherein, when the second cover 200 and the third cover 300 are in contact, the third protrusion 631 extends into the third groove 632 and abuts against the groove wall thereof. In this way, the third protrusion 631 extends into the third groove 632 and abuts against the groove wall thereof, the contact area is larger, and the connection stability is higher.

[0057] Specifically, the lower side wall of the second cover 200 is provided with a third protrusion 631, and the upper side wall of the third cover 300 is provided with a third groove 632. In this way, the third protrusion 631 extends into the third groove 632 and abuts against the groove wall, the contact area is larger, and the connection stability is higher.

[0058] It can be understood that when the third protrusion 631 extends into the third groove 632 and abuts against its groove wall, the cavity wall of the second circulation cavity 520 and a vertical side wall of the third protrusion 631 are located in the same plane, which can reduce the space occupied by the third protrusion 631 in the second circulation cavity 520.

[0059] Optionally, a fourth joint portion 640 is provided between the first cover 100 and the second cover 200 to join the first cover 100 and the second cover 200. Thus, the first cover 100 and the second cover 200 are joined by the fourth joint portion 640, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0060] Optionally, the fourth joint portion 640 includes: a fourth protrusion 641 and a fourth groove 642. One of the first cover 100 and the second cover 200 is provided with the fourth protrusion 641, and the other is provided with the fourth groove 642. In this way, the fourth protrusion 641 extends into the fourth groove 642 and abuts against the groove wall thereof, so that the contact area is larger and the connection stability is higher.

[0061] Optionally, the first circulation cavity 510 includes: a first hot circulation cavity 511 and a first cold circulation cavity 512; the second circulation cavity 520 includes: a second hot circulation cavity 521 and a second cold circulation cavity 522; wherein the first hot circulation cavity 511 is connected to the second hot circulation cavity 521, the first cold circulation cavity 512 is connected to the second cold circulation cavity 522, and the second hot circulation cavity 521 and the second cold circulation cavity 522 are both provided with dampers 400. In this way, two circulation cavities are provided to meet the requirements of airflow at different temperatures.

[0062] It can be understood that when two or more circulation chambers are provided, shortening the extension of the gap and reducing the risk of air leakage can also reduce the risk of air cross-talk between different circulation chambers and improve the temperature stability in each circulation chamber.

[0063] Specifically, the first air outlet 210 includes: a first hot air outlet and a first cold air outlet. The first hot air outlet is communicated with the first hot circulation cavity 511; the first cold air outlet is communicated with the first cold circulation cavity 512.

[0064] Specifically, the second air outlet 220 includes: a second hot air outlet and a second cold air outlet. The second hot air outlet is communicated with the second hot circulation cavity 521; the second cold air outlet is communicated with the second cold circulation cavity 522.

[0065] Combination Figure 7 As shown, optionally, a water storage tank 700 is provided on the inner side wall of the first circulation cavity 510, and the water storage tank 700 is perpendicular to the air flow direction in the first circulation cavity 510; and in the vertical direction, the water storage tank 700 is located above the damper 400. In this way, since the water storage tank 700 is provided on the inner side wall of the first circulation cavity 510, when there is water on the inner side wall of the first circulation cavity 510, the water flows into the water storage tank 700 along the inner side wall of the first circulation cavity 510, and the water droplets are intercepted by the water storage tank 700 and temporarily stored, thereby reducing the risk of water flowing to the damper 400 and freezing at the damper 400, and ensuring that the damper 400 can be opened and closed normally.

[0066] Optionally, a plurality of water storage tanks 700 are provided along the airflow direction in the first circulation cavity 510. Thus, by providing a plurality of water storage tanks 700, the number of times water is intercepted is increased, and the amount of water temporarily stored is also increased. The risk of water flowing to the damper 400 and freezing at the damper 400 is further reduced, ensuring that the damper 400 can be opened and closed normally.

[0067] Specifically, two water storage tanks 700 are provided along the airflow direction in the first flow cavity 510. Thus, by providing two water storage tanks 700, the number of times water is intercepted is increased, and the amount of water temporarily stored is also increased. The risk of water flowing to the damper 400 and freezing at the damper 400 is further reduced, ensuring that the damper 400 can be opened and closed normally.

[0068] Optionally, the upper side wall of the water storage tank 700 is provided with an inclined guide surface 710. In this way, water droplets can flow more smoothly into the water storage tank 700 through the inclined guide surface 710. The risk of water droplets directly dripping from the upper side wall of the water storage tank 700 to the lower side wall of the water storage tank 700 is reduced, and water splashing is reduced.

[0069] Specifically, the upper side wall of each water storage tank 700 is provided with an inclined guide surface 710. In this way, the upper side wall of each water storage tank 700 guides water droplets to flow into the water storage tank 700 through the corresponding inclined guide surface 710, making the water flow smoother. The risk of water droplets directly dripping from the upper side wall of the water storage tank 700 to the lower side wall of the water storage tank 700 is reduced, and water splashing is reduced.

[0070] Optionally, the lower side wall of the water storage tank 700 is inclined downward toward the inside of the water storage tank 700. In this way, the amount of water stored at the bottom of the water storage tank 700 is increased.

[0071] Specifically, the lower side wall of each water storage tank 700 is inclined downward toward the inside of the water storage tank 700 .

[0072] In some embodiments, a refrigerator includes: an air duct assembly as in the above embodiments.

[0073] In the refrigerator provided by this embodiment, since the refrigerator includes the air duct assembly in the above embodiment, the second cover body 200 can be covered on one side of the first cover body 100, and the third cover body 300 abuts against the first cover body 100 and the second cover body 200, so that the first circulation cavity 510 is connected with the second circulation cavity 520. The damper 400 is assembled in the second circulation cavity 520. In the case of sealing between the damper 400 and the cavity wall of the second circulation cavity 520, even if a gap appears in the cavity wall of the second circulation cavity 520, since the first circulation cavity 510 is separately enclosed by the first cover body 100 and the second cover body 200, the gap will not extend into the first circulation cavity 510, thereby shortening the extension of the gap and reducing the risk of air leakage.

[0074] The above description and the accompanying drawings sufficiently illustrate the embodiments of the present disclosure to enable those skilled in the art to practice them. Other embodiments may include structural and other changes. The embodiments represent only possible variations. Unless explicitly required, individual components and functions are optional, and the order of operations may vary. Portions and features of some embodiments may be included in or replace portions and features of other embodiments. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the structures described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope thereof. The scope of the present disclosure is limited only by the appended claims.
