[0045] The present application provides a refrigeration device. The refrigeration device of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments and implementations can be combined with each other.

[0046] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a refrigeration device 10 shown in an embodiment; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The refrigeration device 10 is shown in a half-section at AA; Figure 3 for Figure 1 The refrigeration principle diagram of the refrigeration device 10 shown in FIG. The refrigeration device 10 may be a device such as a refrigerator or a freezer having a refrigeration compartment 84. Figure 1-3 In the illustrated embodiment, the refrigeration device 10 provided by the present application includes a box device 80, a compressor 86, a condenser 87, an evaporator 88 and an expansion valve 89. The box device 80 includes a box assembly 81, a freezing chamber 83, a refrigerating chamber 84 and a door assembly 82. The freezing chamber 83 and the refrigerating chamber 84 are respectively arranged in the box assembly 81. The door assembly 82 includes a first door 82a and a second door 82b. The first door 82a is rotatably connected to the box assembly 81 to open or close the freezing chamber 83. The second door 82b is rotatably connected to the box assembly 81 to open or close the freezing chamber 83. The compressor 86, the condenser 87, the evaporator 88 and the expansion valve 89 are respectively arranged in the box assembly 81, and at least part of the evaporator 88 is arranged in the freezing chamber 83.

[0047] Combination Figure 3As shown, when the refrigeration device 10 is in operation, the compressor 86 outputs a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant to the condenser 87, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is condensed into a medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant through the condenser 87. The medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is further reduced in pressure and temperature by the expansion throttling effect of the expansion valve 89, and the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant flows out of the expansion valve 89 to the evaporator 88. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant evaporates into a gaseous refrigerant in the evaporator 88. At least part of the evaporator 88 is arranged in the freezing chamber 83, so that the refrigerant absorbs a large amount of heat in the freezing chamber 83 during the evaporation process, thereby reducing the temperature in the freezing chamber 83, making it easier to use the freezing chamber 83 to freeze items and realize the refrigeration of the refrigeration device 10. The refrigerant coming out of the evaporator 88 is replenished back to the compressor 86 to form a refrigerant circuit. In this way, the refrigerant circulates continuously in the refrigerant circuit to maintain the freezing environment of the freezing chamber 83 (for example, less than -1°C).

[0048] See you later Figure 2 As shown, an air duct 85 is provided between the refrigerating chamber 84 and the freezing chamber 83, so as to transport part of the cold air from the freezing chamber 83 to the refrigerating chamber 84 through the air duct 85, so as to reduce or maintain the low temperature environment of the refrigerating chamber 84 (for example, 2°C to 8°C).

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, along the height direction (Z-axis direction) of the refrigeration device 10, the freezing chamber 83 is arranged below the refrigerating chamber 84. The refrigeration device 10 also includes a first fan (not marked) arranged in the box assembly 81. The air inlet end or the air outlet end of the first fan is connected to the air duct 85, which is used to transport part of the cold air from the freezing chamber 83 to the refrigerating chamber 84.

[0050] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the freezing chamber 83 is covered with an insulation layer (not shown) to separate the evaporator 88 from the compressor 86 and the condenser 87. The refrigeration device 10 also includes an air-cooling heat dissipation component (not shown) disposed in the box assembly 81, which can at least dissipate heat for the condenser 87.

[0051] In some embodiments, the box assembly 81 further includes a fresh-keeping bin disposed in the box assembly 81 . Along the height direction of the refrigeration device 10 , the fresh-keeping bin is disposed between the refrigerating bin 84 and the freezing bin 83 .

[0052] In order to facilitate the storage and retrieval of the articles placed in the refrigeration device 10, and to facilitate the classified storage of the articles stored in the refrigeration device 10, a shelf 30 or a storage basket is generally provided in the refrigeration device 10, and various articles are placed on the shelf 30 or the storage basket. Because the articles placed in the freezing chamber 83 are all in a frozen state, they can be stacked and stored. Generally, a storage basket is provided in the freezing chamber 83, and the articles are placed in the storage basket. The storage basket is slidably provided in the freezing chamber 83, and the storage basket is closed on three sides, and only has an opening at the top, so the articles placed in the storage basket will not fall. The articles placed in the cold storage chamber 84 cannot be stacked and stored under normal circumstances, so a shelf 30 is generally provided in the cold storage chamber 84, and the articles are placed on the shelf 30. If the articles are small and scattered, or if there are too many articles placed, the articles will fall, which affects the user's experience. It is understandable that the above description about setting the shelf 30 or the storage basket in the freezing chamber 83 and the refrigerator chamber 84 is only for the purpose of facilitating the understanding of the setting position of the shelf 30, but does not constitute a limitation on the setting position of the shelf 30. The shelf 30 can be set in the freezing chamber 83 or in the refrigerator chamber 84.

[0053] In order to prevent the items placed on the rack 30 from falling, Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 for Figure 1 The structure diagram of the refrigeration device 10 shown is after the baffle assembly 40 is provided. Figure 5 for Figure 1 The structure diagram of the baffle assembly 40 shown is in an extended state; Figure 6 for Figure 1 The structure diagram of the baffle assembly 40 shown is in the storage state. Figure 4-6 In the illustrated embodiment, the refrigeration device 10 includes a box body 20, a shelf 30 and a baffle assembly 40. The shelf 30 is arranged in the box body 20 for placing articles. The baffle assembly 40 is arranged in the box body 20 and is located at the front side of the shelf 30. The baffle assembly 40 includes a baffle 41. The baffle 41 is in a grid shape. The baffle assembly 40 includes an extended state and a stored state. The baffle assembly 40 can be moved and switched between the extended state and the stored state. When the baffle assembly 40 is in the extended state, the baffle 41 is unfolded and at least partially located above the shelf 30, for limiting the position of the articles on the shelf 30. When the baffle assembly 40 is in the stored state, the baffle 41 gathers and retracts to the inner wall of the box body 20.

[0054] The box body 20 can be either the box body 20 of the freezing chamber 83 or the box body 20 of the refrigerating chamber 84, and the rack 30 can be arranged in the freezing chamber 83 or in the refrigerating chamber 84. The baffle assembly 40 and the rack 30 corresponding to the baffle assembly 40 are located in the same box body 20, and the number of the baffle assemblies 40 is arranged corresponding to the number of the racks 30 or the number of the baffle assemblies 40 is less than the number of the racks 30. It is understandable that when there are multiple racks 30 in the box body 20, a baffle assembly 40 can be arranged on the front side of each rack 30. It is also possible to arrange the baffle assembly 40 on the front side of some racks 30, and not to arrange the baffle assembly 40 on the front side of some racks 30. The rack 30 with the baffle assembly 40 is used to place scattered items or items with uneven bottoms, and the rack 30 without the baffle assembly 40 can be used to place items with stable bottoms that are not easy to tip over.

[0055] exist Figure 4 In the refrigeration device 10 provided in the embodiment shown, two racks 30 are sequentially arranged in the height direction (Z-axis direction) of the box body 20, and the refrigeration device 10 includes two baffle assemblies 40, which are respectively used to block the items placed on the corresponding racks 30. Of the two baffle assemblies 40, the baffle assembly 40 located at the lower one is in an extended state, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the grid-shaped baffle 41 is unfolded, a portion of the baffle 41 is located above the shelf 30, and a portion of the baffle 41, the shelf 30 and the box body 20 are enclosed to form a storage space with an open top. When items are placed in the storage space, the items can be prevented from falling from the front side of the shelf 30. Of the two baffle assemblies 40, the upper baffle assembly 40 is in the storage state, and the combination Figure 6 As shown, the baffles 41 gather and retract to the inner side wall of the box body 20 .

[0056] The refrigeration device 10 provided in the present application can be used to place items by arranging the shelf 30 inside the box 20. By arranging the baffle assembly 40 inside the box 20 and making the baffle assembly 40 located at the front side of the shelf 30, the items placed on the shelf 30 can be blocked to prevent the items placed on the shelf 30 from falling. The baffle assembly 40 includes a baffle 41, which is in a grid shape, and the baffle assembly 40 includes an extended state and a stored state. When the baffle assembly 40 is in the extended state, the baffle 41 is unfolded, and when the baffle assembly 40 is in the stored state, the baffle 41 is gathered. When the refrigeration device 10 provided in the present application needs to limit the items on the shelf 30, the baffle 41 is unfolded to limit the items on the shelf 30, and when it is not necessary to limit the items on the shelf 30, the baffle 41 is gathered and retracted to the inner wall of the box 20, so as not to occupy the space of the refrigerator.

[0057] The baffle assembly 40 also includes a first bracket 42 and a second bracket 43. The first bracket 42 extends along the height direction of the box body 20 and is arranged on the inner wall of the box body 20. It is understandable that the first bracket 42 can be directly connected to the inner wall of the box body 20, or can be connected to the inner wall of the box body 20 through an intermediate connecting member, and the present application does not limit this. The first bracket 42 is fixedly connected to the box body 20, that is, the first bracket 42 is stationary relative to the shelf 30. The first bracket 42 is arranged to fit the inner wall of the box body 20 to avoid the first bracket 42 standing upright in the middle of the box body 20, affecting the appearance, and dividing the storage space above the shelf 30 to affect the retrieval of items.

[0058] The second bracket 43 extends along the height direction (Z-axis direction) of the box body 20, and is slidably connected to the rack 30 along the length direction (X-axis direction) of the rack 30. The second bracket 43 can move relative to the rack 30 along the length direction of the rack 30, thereby adjusting the distance between the second bracket 43 and the first bracket 42.

[0059] The baffle 41 is movably connected to the first bracket 42 and the second bracket 43. When the baffle assembly 40 is in the storage state, the second bracket 43 is close to the first bracket 42, and the baffle 41 is gathered between the first bracket 42 and the second bracket 43. When the baffle assembly 40 is switched from the storage state to the extended state, the second bracket 43 is away from the first bracket 42 along the length direction of the rack 30, and the baffle 41 is extended between the first bracket 42 and the second bracket 43. In the process of the second bracket 43 moving away from the first bracket 42 along the length direction of the rack 30, the baffle 41 is gradually unfolded. When the baffle assembly 40 is switched from the extended state to the storage state, the second bracket 43 is close to the first bracket 42 along the length direction of the rack 30, and in the process of the second bracket 43 moving close to the first bracket 42 along the length direction of the rack 30, the baffle 41 is gradually gathered.

[0060] It can be understood that by moving the second bracket 43, the distance between the second bracket 43 and the first bracket 42 is changed, thereby driving the baffle 41 movably connected between the first bracket 42 and the second bracket 43 to expand or gather, and by controlling the distance between the second bracket 43 and the first bracket 42, the expansion or gathering amplitude of the baffle 41 can be controlled, and the length of the baffle assembly 40 on the shelf 30 can be adjusted.

[0061] exist Figure 3-5In the illustrated embodiment, a groove (not shown) is provided on the inner side wall of the housing 20, and the baffle assembly 40 includes a receiving groove 44, which is provided in the groove and fixedly connected to the housing 20. The receiving groove 44 is located in the groove, so that the receiving groove 44 does not occupy the space in the housing 20, and the aesthetics of the housing 20 is improved. The first bracket 42 is provided in the receiving groove 44, and when the baffle assembly 40 is in the storage state, the second bracket 43 and the baffle 41 are accommodated in the receiving groove 44. In this way, when the baffle assembly 40 is in the storage state, the baffle assembly 40 does not protrude from the receiving groove 44, and because the receiving groove 44 is located in the groove, the baffle assembly 40 does not protrude from the side wall of the housing 20, so that the baffle assembly 40 does not occupy the space in the housing 20, and the refrigeration device 1 is aesthetically pleasing.

[0062] In order to accommodate the second bracket 43 and the baffle 41 in the receiving groove 44 when the baffle assembly 40 is in the storage state, in this embodiment, the receiving groove 44 is a structure with a side wall with one side open in the circumferential direction and an accommodation space inside, the side wall of the receiving groove 44 can be used as the first bracket 42, the opening direction of the receiving groove 44 is toward the second bracket 43, and the accommodation space of the receiving groove 44 can be used to accommodate the second bracket 43 and the baffle 41. The length of the receiving groove 44 extending along the height direction of the box body 20 is greater than the length of the second bracket 43 extending along the height direction of the box body 20, and the length of the receiving groove 44 extending along the length direction of the shelf 30 is greater than the length of the second bracket 43 extending along the length direction of the shelf 30. In this way, the height of the receiving groove 44 can be greater than the height of the second bracket 43, and the length of the receiving groove 44 can be greater than the length of the second bracket 43, so that the second bracket 43 and the baffle 41 in the gathered state can be accommodated in the receiving groove 44.

[0063] In this embodiment, a track 45 is provided on the upper front side of the rack 30, and the track 45 extends from the receiving groove 44 along the length direction of the rack 30. A roller 46 that can slide along the track 45 is provided at the bottom of the second bracket 43, and the second bracket 43 is slidably connected to the rack 30 through the track 45 and the roller 46. The track 45 and the roller 46 can support the second bracket 43, and not only facilitate the movement of the second bracket 43, but also limit the movement track of the second bracket 43, so that the baffle 41 located between the first bracket 42 and the second bracket 43 can be expanded and gathered along the length direction of the rack 30, and the grid-shaped baffle 41 is prevented from being twisted and unable to be expanded or gathered. The track 45 extends from the receiving groove 44 along the length direction of the rack 30, so that when the second bracket 43 is stored in the receiving groove 44, it can also be slidably connected to the rack 30 through the track 45 and the roller 46.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 7-9 , Figure 7 FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a baffle assembly 40 provided in one embodiment. Figure 8A schematic structural diagram of a baffle assembly 40 provided in another embodiment. Fig. 9 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a baffle assembly 40 provided in yet another embodiment. Figure 7-9 In the illustrated embodiment, the baffle 41 includes a plurality of X-shaped connecting rod groups 47 , each of which includes two cross-hinged connecting rods 471 , and two adjacent X-shaped connecting rod groups 47 in the length direction of the rack 30 are hingedly connected.

[0065] The first bracket 42 and the second bracket 43 are both provided with a slide groove 48 extending along the height direction of the box body 20, and a slider 49 is provided at the free end of the X-shaped connecting rod group 47 located at the end of the baffle 41. The first bracket 42 and the second bracket 43 are movably connected to the baffle 41 through the slide groove 48 and the slider 49.

[0066] When the second bracket 43 moves away from the first bracket 42, the ends of the two connecting rods 471 in each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 move toward each other, and the sliders 49 at the free ends of the X-shaped connecting rod group 47 at the same end of the baffle 41 move toward each other through the slide groove 48. When the second bracket 43 approaches the first bracket 42, the ends of the two connecting rods 471 in each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 move away from each other, and the sliders 49 at the free ends of the X-shaped connecting rod group 47 at the same end of the baffle 41 move away from each other through the slide groove 48.

[0067] It can be understood that the two connecting rods 471 in each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 are hinged, and the hinge angle of the two connecting rods 471 can be changed by relative rotation between the two connecting rods 471 at the hinge point, thereby changing the projection length of the two connecting rods 471 in the length direction of the shelf 30, and then changing the length of each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 in the length direction of the shelf 30, and finally changing the length of the baffle 41 in the length direction of the shelf 30, thereby adjusting the length of the baffle 41.

[0068] When the second bracket 43 moves away from the first bracket 42, that is, the length of the baffle 41 needs to be increased, the ends of the two connecting rods 471 in each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 move toward each other, that is, the ends of the two connecting rods 471 in each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 are close to each other, and the length of the two connecting rods 471 in each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 in the height direction of the box body 20 becomes smaller, that is, the height of each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 becomes lower, and the length of the two connecting rods 471 in each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 in the length direction of the shelf 30 becomes longer, that is, the length of each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 becomes longer, so that the height of the baffle 41 composed of multiple X-shaped connecting rod groups 47 hinged together becomes lower and the length of the baffle 41 becomes longer.

[0069] When the second bracket 43 approaches the first bracket 42, that is, to reduce the length of the baffle 41, the ends of the two connecting rods 471 in each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 move away from each other, that is, the ends of the two connecting rods 471 in each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 move away from each other and move in opposite directions. The length of the two connecting rods 471 in each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 in the height direction of the box body 20 increases, that is, the height of each X-shaped connecting rod group increases, and the length of the two connecting rods 471 in each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 in the length direction of the shelf 30 decreases, that is, the length of each X-shaped connecting rod group 47 decreases, so that the height of the baffle 41 composed of multiple X-shaped connecting rod groups 47 hinged together increases and the length of the baffle decreases.

[0070] Please refer again Figure 7 , Figure 7 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a baffle assembly 40 provided in an embodiment. Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, each end of the baffle 41 has an X-shaped connecting rod group 47, which are a first X-shaped connecting rod group 47a and a second X-shaped connecting rod group 47b, and a plurality of X-shaped connecting rod groups 47 are hinged between the first X-shaped connecting rod group 47a and the second X-shaped connecting rod group 47b. The free ends of the two connecting rods 471 in the X-shaped connecting rod group 47 at the end of the baffle 41 are provided with a slider 49. That is, the end of the two connecting rods 471 in the first X-shaped connecting rod group 47a close to the first bracket 42, that is, the free end of the connecting rod 471, is provided with a slider 49, and the end of the two connecting rods 471 in the second X-shaped connecting rod group 47b close to the second bracket 43, that is, the free end of the connecting rod 471, is provided with a slider 49.

[0071] In this embodiment, the first bracket 42 and the second bracket 43 are both provided with two slide grooves 48, and the two sliders 49 located at the same end of the baffle 41 are respectively slidably connected with one of the slide grooves 48. That is, the slider 49 provided at the free end of one of the connecting rods 471 in the first X-shaped connecting rod group 47a is slidably connected with one of the slide grooves 48 on the first bracket 42, and the slider 49 provided at the free end of another connecting rod 471 in the first X-shaped connecting rod group 47a is slidably connected with another slide groove 48 on the first bracket 42. The connection between the slider provided on the second X-shaped connecting rod group 47b and the second bracket 43 is the same as the connection between the slider provided on the first X-shaped connecting rod group 47a and the first bracket 42, and no further description is given here.

[0072] In some other optional embodiments, the first bracket 42 and the second bracket 43 are both provided with a slide groove 48, and the two sliders 49 located at the same end of the baffle 41 are both slidably connected to a slide groove 48.
