[0069] Combination Figures 2 to 4 The refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a wire outlet 201 on the front side of the top of the box 100, and the cables 500 in the box 100 can be led out through the wire outlet 201 and connected to the electrical components of the door 300. In this way, the wires are led out from the top of the front side of the box 100, which facilitates the wiring operation of the cables during production and maintenance, and helps to improve efficiency.

[0070] Moreover, the refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application is also provided with a decorative piece 400 on the front side of the top of the box body 100, and the wire outlet 201 and the cable 500 are located on the back side of the decorative piece 400, which can not only shield the wire outlet 201 and the cable 500, but also shield the joint between the box 120 and the box shell 110, thereby improving the appearance decoration effect of the top of the liner assembly 200. When the door body 300 is in a closed state, the front side of the door body 300 is higher than the decorative piece 400 and the main control board box provided on the top of the box body 100.

[0071] The box body 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes: a box shell 110, a box liner 120 and a liner opening assembly 200. The box shell 110 is the outer shell of the refrigerator, and the box liner 120, the liner opening assembly 200 and the refrigeration system are arranged inside the box shell 110. The box shell 110 is structured to form an installation cavity 111, and the front side of the installation cavity 111 has a first installation opening, and the box liner 120 is installed in the installation cavity 111 through the first installation opening.

[0072] Exemplarily, the box shell 110 may include a U-shell, a back plate and a bottom plate, wherein the U-shell includes an integrally formed top plate and two side plates disposed on the left and right sides of the top plate, the back plate is fixed to the back of the U-shell, and the bottom plate is fixed to the back plate and the bottom end of the U-shell, thus enclosing a box shell 110 having a first mounting opening on the front side. Of course, in some embodiments, the bottom end of the back plate is spaced apart from the bottom plate to form a second mounting opening for mounting a compressor compartment accommodating a compressor.

[0073] The top surface of the box shell 110 is recessed downward to form a receiving cavity 112. The receiving cavity 112 is used to install a main control board box. The main control board in the main control board box is used to control the operating state of the refrigerator. Of course, the position of the receiving cavity 112 is not limited to the top of the box shell 110. For example, the main control board box can also be installed on the back of the box shell 110.

[0074] The box 120 is structured to form a storage compartment 121. The front side of the storage compartment 121 forms a take-in and take-out opening, which is opposite to the first installation opening of the box shell 110. The door body 300 rotates relative to the box body 100 to open or close the take-in and take-out opening.

[0075] The box 120 is accommodated in the installation cavity 111, and there is a gap between the box 120 and the box shell 110, in which components such as a refrigeration system and an air duct can be installed, and an insulation structure, such as a foam layer, can also be provided in the gap to insulate the storage compartment 121.

[0076] The box body 100 of the embodiment of the present application further includes a chamber opening assembly 200 , which is fixedly connected to the chamber 120 and the box shell 110 , respectively, to close the gap between the chamber 120 and the box shell 110 .

[0077] The port assembly 200 is in a rectangular ring shape, and is arranged around the outside of the box 120. The port assembly 200 is constructed to form an access opening for the box 120. At least part of the port assembly 200 is opposite to the interval between the box 120 and the box shell 110. The port assembly 200, the box shell 110 and the box 120 are enclosed together to form a closed chamber to install the refrigeration system, air duct and insulation structure of the refrigerator. A wire outlet 201 is provided on the front side of the top of the port assembly 200, so that the cable 500 in the box body can be led out from the wire outlet 201 to achieve electrical connection with the electrical components in the door body 300, which is convenient for the wiring operation of the cable during production and maintenance, simple operation, and conducive to improving efficiency.

[0078] Combination Figure 5In some embodiments, the bile outlet assembly 200 has a vertical center line O, the vertical center line O extends vertically, and the bile outlet assembly 200 is symmetrical about the vertical center line O. The wire outlet 201 has a first distance L1 from the vertical center line O, and the wire outlet 201 has a second distance L2 from a side of the bile outlet assembly 200 hinged with the door body 300, and the second distance L2 is greater than or equal to the first distance L1.

[0079] For the convenience of measurement, one end of the outlet 201 can be used as a measuring point. When the outlet 201 is an opening in a vertical plane (corresponding to the XZ plane in the figure), the left end or the right end of the outlet 201 is a measuring point. For example, the first distance L1 is the distance between the left end of the outlet 201 and the vertical center line O, and the second distance L2 is the distance between the left end of the outlet 201 and the side of the port assembly 200 hinged with the door body 300. When the outlet 201 is set in the YZ plane, the projection of the outlet 201 in the vertical plane is used as the measuring point of the outlet 201.

[0080] Such an arrangement allows the cable outlet 201 to be located close to the center of the outlet assembly 200. When multiple cable outlets 201 are provided, it is convenient for operators to perform wiring operations on cables at multiple cable outlets 201 at the same position without moving the position, thereby further improving efficiency.

[0081] Taking the refrigerator shown in the accompanying drawings as an example, the two doors 300 above it need to be connected to cables. There are two outlets 201, and both outlets 201 are close to the vertical center line O of the port assembly 200, which is convenient for operators to connect the cables of the two outlets 201 at the same position without moving the position, further improving the wiring efficiency. Compared with the prior art, in which the operator needs to move from one side of the door to the other side of the door to lead the wires at the hinged position of the door, the outlet arrangement method of the embodiment of the present application is more conducive to improving the convenience of operation.

[0082] Of course, the above is not a limitation on the number of outlets 201. One outlet 201 can be provided. For example, when two doors are provided along the width direction of the refrigerator, one outlet 201 can be provided at the center of the outlet assembly 200, and the cables connecting the electrical components of the two door bodies 300 can be led out from the box body 100. When one door is provided along the width direction of the refrigerator, one outlet 201 can be provided at the center of the outlet assembly 200; or, two outlets 201 are provided at intervals along the width direction of the refrigerator, one of which is used to lead out the power supply cable, and the other outlet 201 is used to lead out the data transmission cable.

[0083] Continue to refer to Figure 5The gallbladder opening assembly 200 of the embodiment of the present application includes a front side end plate 214 and a side panel 215 arranged on the back of the front side end plate 214, and both the front side end plate 214 and the side panel 215 are annular. Among them, the front side end plate 214 is roughly located in the front side of the refrigerator, opposite to the interval between the box 120 and the box shell 110; the side panel 215 is roughly perpendicular to the front side end plate 214, and the side panel 215 is fixedly connected to the box 120 and the box shell 110 respectively. The connection method of the side panel 215 and the box 120 includes but is not limited to bonding, clamping, etc.; the connection method of the side panel 215 and the box 120 includes but is not limited to clamping, riveting, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the fixed connection method of the gallbladder opening assembly 200 and the box 120 and the box shell 110.

[0084] The side panel 215 is located on the back of the front end panel 214, so that the fixed connection between the side panel 215 and the box 120, as well as the fixed connection between the side panel 215 and the box shell 110 can be hidden on the back of the front end panel 214, which is beneficial to improving the flatness of the appearance around the refrigerator loading and unloading port.

[0085] The front end plate 214 is a rectangular ring, which includes an upper part and a lower part spaced relative to each other along the height direction of the refrigerator, and a left part and a right part spaced relative to each other along the width direction of the refrigerator.
