[0024] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the various embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not limitations of the present invention, and any equivalent transformation or replacement of functions, methods, or structures made by ordinary technicians in the field according to these embodiments shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, the connection can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. It can be a fixed connection, a movable connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0026] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a refrigerator 100, including a cabinet 10, a door 20 that rotates in cooperation with the cabinet 10, and a wiring assembly 30 for connecting the cabinet 10 and the door 20.
[0027] Specifically, the wiring assembly 30 guides the functional modules between the box body 10 and the door body 20 to connect with each other to achieve the connection of electrical signals. The functional modules include but are not limited to ice water modules, display modules, and touch modules.
[0028] Furthermore, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the wiring assembly 30 includes a box lead-out portion 12 and a door lead-out portion 22, the door lead-out portion 22 is connected to the door wiring groove 23 and is fixed to the door 20, and a second wiring space is formed in the door lead-out portion 22, the box lead-out portion 12 is connected to the box wiring groove (not shown) and is fixed to the box 10, and a first wiring space is formed in the box lead-out portion 12.
[0029] Among them, the routing assembly 30 also includes a first conductive plate 11 and a second conductive plate 21, the first conductive plate 11 is connected to the box lead-out portion 12, the second conductive plate 21 is connected to the door body lead-out portion 22, and the first conductive plate 11 and the second conductive plate 21 are in contact for conduction, and the second conductive plate 21 can rotate relative to the first conductive plate 11 around the hinge axis 42 of the hinge 41.
[0030] Specifically, during the process of opening and closing the door body 20, the first conductive disk 11 and the second conductive disk 21 maintain contact and conduction, so that the box body 10 and the door body 20 are always maintained in a energized state, and when the door body 20 drives the door body lead-out part 22 and the second conductive disk 21 of the wiring assembly 30 to rotate regularly, the wires in the wiring assembly are prevented from breaking and failing after being bent and rubbed several times, thereby improving the service life of the wiring assembly.
[0031] Furthermore, the box body lead-out portion 12 is plugged into the first conductive plate 11, and the door body lead-out portion 22 is plugged into the second conductive plate 21. The plug-in connection mode is convenient for disassembly on the one hand, and can also be replaced in time after a fault occurs on the other hand.
[0032] Specifically, the plug-in portion of the first conductive disk 11 is provided with a first pin, and the plug-in portion of the box body lead-out portion 12 is provided with a first slot, that is, the box body lead-out portion 12 and the first conductive disk 11 are electrically connected through the cooperation of the first pin and the first slot; similarly, the plug-in portion of the second conductive disk 21 is provided with a second pin, and the plug-in portion of the door body lead-out portion 22 is provided with a second slot, that is, the door body lead-out portion 22 and the second conductive disk 21 are electrically connected through the cooperation of the second pin and the second slot. The method of using the pin and the slot to cooperate with each other to achieve electrical connection is simple to operate, has high stability and contact performance, and is easy to plug and unplug. Of course, it can be understood that the connection method of the plug-in portion between the box body lead-out portion 12 and the first conductive disk 11 and between the door body lead-out portion 22 and the second conductive disk 21 can be used as long as the electrical connection is achieved, and is not limited to this.
[0033] In a specific embodiment, the first slot of the plug-in part of the box lead-out part 12 and the first pin of the plug-in part of the first conductive plate 11, the second slot of the plug-in part of the door lead-out part 22 and the second pin of the plug-in part of the second conductive plate 21, the cooperation method between the first pin and the first slot, and between the second pin and the second slot is a Type-C plug-in method.
[0034] Furthermore, the door lead-out portion 22 is plugged into the second conductive plate 21 at 90 degrees, so that the plugging between the door lead-out portion 22 and the second conductive plate 21 is more stable, and the door lead-out portion and the second conductive plate will not fall off or be poorly plugged due to an improper plugging angle during the process of opening and closing the refrigerator door. Of course, this is not limited to this.
[0035] Furthermore, one end of the door body lead-out part 22 passes through the door body wiring groove 23 and is fixedly connected to the door body 20 by fasteners, and one end of the box body lead-out part 12 passes through the box body wiring groove and is fixedly connected to the box body 10 by fasteners, thereby improving the stability between the door body wiring groove and the door body, and between the box body wiring groove and the box body.
[0036] In a specific embodiment, one end of the door body lead-out part 22 passes through the door body wiring groove 23 and is fixed to the door body 20 by screws, and one end of the box body lead-out part 12 passes through the box body wiring groove and is fixed to the box body 10 by screws, thereby improving the stability of the wiring assembly during the door opening and closing process, and it is also easier to disassemble when replacement is needed.
[0037] Specifically, the box lead-out portion 12 is fixed to the outside of the foam layer of the box through the box wiring groove, and the door lead-out portion 22 is fixed to the outside of the foam layer of the door through the door lead-out groove, which is convenient for the later maintenance or replacement of the wiring assembly.
[0038] Furthermore, the second wiring space formed in the door body lead-out portion 22 is used to accommodate the wires passing through the door body wiring groove 23, and the first wiring space formed in the box body lead-out portion 12 is used to accommodate the wires passing through the box body wiring groove. That is, the wires drawn out from the door body 20 pass through the door body wiring groove 23 and enter the second wiring space formed in the door body lead-out portion 22. After the wires pass through the second wiring space, since the door body lead-out portion 22 is connected to the second conductive disk 21, the wires enter the second conductive disk 21 and are connected thereto. The wires drawn out from the box body 10 pass through the box body wiring groove and enter the first wiring space formed in the box body lead-out portion 12. After the wires pass through the first wiring space, since the box body lead-out portion 12 is connected to the first conductive disk 11, the wires enter the first conductive disk 11 and are connected thereto.
[0039] Specifically, the first wiring space can accommodate at least one row and at least one column of wires passing through the wiring groove of the box body, and the second wiring space can accommodate at least one row and at least one column of wires passing through the wiring groove of the door body. When the functional modules between the door body and the box body increase, the number of wires required to be connected will also increase synchronously. In the present invention, the number of wires between the box body and the door body can be increased by increasing the number of rows and columns of wires in the first wiring space and the second wiring space.
[0040] Furthermore, combined with Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the internal structure of the conductive disk and the way of connecting and conducting are illustrated by taking the door body lead-out portion 22 and the second conductive disk 21 as examples. The end surface of the second conductive disk 21 is provided with a plurality of concentric conductive coils 24 and a plurality of conductive terminals 26. One end of the conductive terminal 26 is in direct contact with the conductive coil for conducting, and the other end is used to connect the wire 25 passing through the door body lead-out portion 22. The number of the conductive terminals 26 is the same as the number of the wires 25, that is, each wire is in direct contact with the conductive coil through the conductive terminal matched therewith to achieve conduction. Similarly, the first conductive disk 11 has the same internal structure as the second conductive disk 21. That is, conduction is achieved by contacting the conductive terminal and the conductive disk, which not only has a good conductive function but also has a simple structure and an ingenious design.
[0041] Furthermore, the concentric conductive coils of the first conductive plate 11 and the second conductive plate 21 are electrically conductive through direct contact, and further, the first conductive plate 11 is fixed to the hinge 41 through the hinge shaft 42, and the second conductive plate 21 is pivotally connected to the first conductive plate 11. That is, in the process of opening and closing the refrigerator door, since the first conductive plate and the second conductive plate are always in contact, the power supply is not affected by the state of the door, and since the second conductive plate 21 is rotatably connected relative to the first conductive plate 11, the wires in the second conductive plate 21 and the first conductive plate 11 will not be twisted, bent, worn, or even broken regardless of whether the refrigerator door is opened or closed, thereby improving the service life.
[0042] In summary, the refrigerator in the utility model, on the one hand, is provided with a wiring assembly 30, which reduces the situation in the prior art that the wires are broken after multiple door openings and closings through hinge wiring, thereby failing and causing power failure; on the other hand, a first conductive plate 11 connected to the box body 10 through a box body lead-out portion 12 and a second conductive plate 21 connected to the door body 20 through a door body lead-out portion 22 are provided, and the end faces of the first conductive plate 11 and the second conductive plate 21 are in contact for conduction, which not only enables the electrical signal connection between the door body and the box body, but also during the pivoting process of the second conductive plate 21 relative to the first conductive plate 11, the wires in the first conductive plate 11 and the second conductive plate 21 will not be twisted, bent, worn, or even broken, and it is also convenient for replacement and repair when the wiring assembly fails.
[0043] It should be understood that although this specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each implementation mode may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
[0044] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of the utility model. They are not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model.
