Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerators, and in particular to an evaporator fixing seat for a refrigerator and the refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] Refrigerators are usually equipped with evaporators. As an important heat exchange component in the refrigeration system, the evaporator's main function is to absorb the heat inside the refrigerator to reduce the internal temperature, thereby achieving a cooling effect. At present, the evaporators in most refrigerators on the market are installed on the inner tank, and are covered by the air duct component. There is a certain distance between the evaporator and the inner tank to form an air duct.

[0003] In the prior art, a fixing piece is usually arranged to be clamped on the evaporator. The fixing piece is provided with a cantilever structure, and the evaporator is provided with a mounting hole. The cantilever structure is inserted into the mounting hole, so that when the evaporator is installed on the inner tank, an air duct is formed between the evaporator and the inner tank. However, the fixing piece of the prior art has a simple structure, and the installation stability between the fixing piece and the evaporator is not strong. During use, the fit between the evaporator and the fixing piece is easily loosened, which leads to the detachment of the evaporator from the fixing piece, thereby causing the evaporator to shake. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, in order to solve the problem that the installation stability between the fixing part and the evaporator in the prior art is not strong, which leads to the evaporator and the fixing part being separated, thereby causing the evaporator to shake, the utility model provides an evaporator fixing seat for a refrigerator and a refrigerator, and the specific technical solution is as follows:

The mutual cooperation between the limiting piece and the elastic clip makes the installation of the evaporator fixing seat on the evaporator reliable and stable, which solves the problem in the prior art that the installation stability between the fixing piece and the evaporator is not strong, which leads to the evaporator and the fixing piece being separated, thereby causing the evaporator to shake.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixed base is provided with a clearance groove, and the elastic clamping piece is located in the clearance groove;

[0010] The elastic clamping piece extends toward the direction where the limiting column is located.

[0011] Further, the elastic clamping member includes a first elastic member and a second elastic member;

[0012] One end of the first elastic member is fixedly connected to the fixed base, and the other end of the first elastic member is fixedly connected to the second elastic member;

[0013] An extending direction of the first elastic member and an extending direction of the second elastic member are perpendicular to each other, and the second elastic member extends toward the direction where the limiting column is located.

[0014] Furthermore, the limiting column is provided with a clearance groove, and the position of the clearance groove corresponds to the position of the second elastic member;

[0015] The make way groove is connected to the make way through groove, and the second elastic member is deformed toward the direction of the make way groove under the action of external force.

[0016] Furthermore, the first elastic member is located in the clearance groove, and the first elastic member divides the clearance groove into a first groove and a second groove;

[0022] The elastic clamping piece is clamped in the fixing through hole under the action of external force;

[0023] The end of the limiting column abuts against the inner container, so that an air duct is formed between the inner container and the evaporator.

[0024] Furthermore, the fixing through hole includes a guide through hole, a limit through hole and a clamping through hole;

[0040] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an evaporator fixing seat for a refrigerator in one embodiment of the utility model comprises a fixing base 1 and a limiting column 2, wherein the fixing base 1 and the limiting column 2 are fixedly connected; the limiting column 2 is provided with a limiting member 211, and a limiting gap 22 is provided between the limiting member 211 and the fixing base 1, and the limiting gap 22 is used to position the evaporator fixing seat 30 on the evaporator 3; the fixing base 1 is provided with an elastic clamping member 11, and the elastic clamping member 11 is deformed under the action of external force to fix the evaporator fixing seat 30 on the evaporator 3.

[0041] When the evaporator fixing seat 30 of the utility model is applied to the evaporator 3 of the refrigerator, the evaporator 3 is provided with a fixing through hole 31 corresponding to the evaporator fixing seat 30. The evaporator fixing seat 30 passes through the fixing through hole 31, so that the evaporator 3 is limited in the limiting gap 22 formed between the limiting member 211 and the fixing base 1. By applying external force to the evaporator fixing seat 30, the elastic clip 11 is deformed and clipped into the fixing through hole 31, thereby fixing the evaporator fixing seat 30 to the evaporator 3. The limiting member 211 and the elastic clip 11 of the utility model both play a limiting role in the installation of the evaporator fixing seat 30. The mutual cooperation between the limiting member 211 and the elastic clip 11 makes the installation of the evaporator fixing seat 30 on the evaporator 3 reliable and stable, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that the installation stability between the fixing member and the evaporator 3 is not strong, which leads to the evaporator 3 and the fixing member being separated, thereby causing the evaporator 3 to shake.

[0042] In one of the embodiments, the fixed base 1 is provided with a clearance groove 12, and the elastic clip 11 is located in the clearance groove 12; the elastic clip 11 extends in the direction of the limiting column 2, and when the evaporator fixing seat 30 is fixed to the evaporator 3, the evaporator fixing seat 30 is pressed to move the elastic clip 11 in the direction of the limiting column 2, so that the elastic clip 11 is clamped in the fixed through hole 31 of the evaporator 3, and the evaporator 3 is located in the limiting gap 22.

[0043] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the elastic clamping member 11 includes a first elastic member 111 and a second elastic member 112; one end of the first elastic member 111 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 1, and the other end of the first elastic member 111 is fixedly connected to the second elastic member 112; the extension direction of the first elastic member 111 and the extension direction of the second elastic member 112 are perpendicular to each other, and the second elastic member 112 extends in the direction where the limiting column 2 is located, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, when the evaporator fixing base 30 is fixed to the evaporator 3 , the second elastic member 112 is located in the engaging through hole 313 of the fixing through hole 31 .

[0044] In one embodiment, the limiting column 2 is provided with a clearance groove 20, the position of the clearance groove 20 corresponds to the position of the second elastic member 112; the clearance groove 20 is connected to the clearance through groove 12, and the second elastic member 112 is deformed toward the direction of the clearance groove 20 under the action of external force.

[0045] Specifically, the arrangement of the clearance groove 20 and the clearance through groove 12 provides a clearance space for the deformation of the second elastic member 112, so that the second elastic member 112 can deform toward the direction of the clearance groove 20, so that the elastic clamping member 11 is clamped in the fixed through hole 31 of the evaporator 3.

[0046] In one embodiment, the first elastic member 111 is located in the clearance groove 12 , and the first elastic member 111 divides the clearance groove 12 into a first groove 121 and a second groove 122 ; the first elastic member 111 is deformed toward the direction of the first groove 121 under the action of external force.

[0047] Specifically, when the second elastic member 112 is deformed toward the direction of the give way groove 20 under the action of external force, the first elastic member 111 is simultaneously deformed toward the direction of the give way groove 20 under the action of the second elastic member 112, that is, it is deformed in the direction of the first through groove 121, so that the elastic clip 11 is clipped into the fixed through hole 31 of the evaporator 3. When the external force is released, the first elastic member 111 and the second elastic member 112 are reset in the direction of the second through groove 122, so that the elastic clip 11 is limited to the fixed through hole 31 of the evaporator 3, and the evaporator fixing seat 30 is installed on the evaporator 3.

[0048] In one embodiment, there are multiple limit members 211, and the multiple limit members 211 are arranged side by side along the circumferential direction of the limit column 2; a limit gap 22 is formed between the end surface of the limit member 211 close to the fixed base 1 and the fixed base 1, and the size of the limit gap 22 is adapted to the thickness of the evaporator 3.

[0049] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the limiting column 2 includes a limiting portion 21 and a limiting gap 22. A plurality of limiting members 211 are arranged side by side along the circumferential direction of the limiting portion 21. A limiting gap 22 is formed between the end surface of the limiting member 211 close to the fixed base 1 and the fixed base 1. The limiting gap 22 is used to position the evaporator 3. Therefore, the size of the limiting gap 22 is adapted to the thickness of the evaporator 3 to ensure the stability of the evaporator fixing base 30 when installed on the evaporator 3.

[0050] The utility model also provides a refrigerator, comprising an evaporator 3, an inner tank 4 and the above-mentioned evaporator fixing seat 30 for the refrigerator; a plurality of fixing through holes 31 are provided on the peripheral side of the evaporator 3, and the limiting column 2 passes through the fixing through holes 31, so that the evaporator fixing seat 30 is positioned in the limiting gap 22; the elastic clamping piece 11 is clamped in the fixing through hole 31 under the action of external force; the end of the limiting column 2 is against the inner tank 4, so that an air duct is formed between the inner tank 4 and the evaporator 3.

[0051] In the utility model, Figure 3As shown, by using the evaporator fixing seat 30, when the evaporator 3 is installed on the inner tank 4, an air duct is formed between the evaporator 3 and the inner tank 4, thereby ensuring the circulation of cold air in the refrigerator and maintaining the normal operation of the refrigerator. In addition, the length of the limiting portion 21 of the limiting column 2 is adapted to the width of the air duct, so that when the evaporator fixing seat 30 is installed on the evaporator 3, the end of the limiting column 2 abuts against the inner tank 4, ensuring the stability of the installation between the inner tank 4 and the evaporator 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the end surface of the limiting member 211 away from the limiting gap 22 is flush with the limiting portion 21, thereby increasing the contact area between the evaporator fixing seat 30 and the inner tank 4 and further improving the installation stability of the evaporator 3.

[0052] In one of the embodiments, the fixed through hole 31 includes a guide through hole 311, a limiting through hole 312 and a snap-in through hole 313; the limiting through hole 312 and the snap-in through hole 313 are both located on the circumferential outside of the guide through hole 311; the position of the guide through hole 311 corresponds to the position of the limiting column 2, and the position of the limiting through hole 312 corresponds to the position of the limiting member 211; when the guide through hole 311 and the limiting column 2 and the limiting through hole 312 and the limiting member 211 correspond one to one, the position of the snap-in through hole 313 offsets the position of the elastic snap-in member 11.

[0053] Specifically, the number and position of the limiting through holes 312 correspond to the number and position of the limiting members 211. When the positions of the plurality of limiting through holes 312 correspond to the positions of the plurality of limiting members 211, the position of the engaging through hole 313 is offset from the position of the elastic engaging member 11. Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the number of the limiting through holes 312 is two, and the two limiting through holes 312 are distributed on both sides of the engaging through hole 313 .

[0054] When the end of the second elastic member 112 abuts against the evaporator 3, the evaporator fixing seat 30 is pressed hard, so that the elastic clip 11 is deformed toward the direction of the yield groove 20, thereby positioning the evaporator 3 in the limiting gap 22, and then the evaporator fixing seat 30 is rotated, so that the elastic clip 11 moves to the position where the clipping hole 313 is located, and the elastic clip 11 is reset, so that the second elastic member 112 is located in the clipping hole 313. Under the action of the limiting member 211 and the elastic clip 11, the evaporator fixing seat 30 is installed on the evaporator 3. The installation process of the evaporator fixing seat 30 is fast and convenient, and the dual action of the limiting member 211 and the elastic clip 11 improves the installation stability of the evaporator fixing seat 30.

[0055] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0056] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
