[0103] The main plane 46 may be the rear surface of the rear wall 22 visible when the refrigeration appliance 10 is viewed from the side. The electrical connection component 36 does not protrude from the main plane 46 from the rear, which means that when the refrigeration appliance 10 is viewed from the side, the main plane 46 is substantially a straight line without corresponding protrusions of the electrical connection component 36.

[0104] In some embodiments, the rear wall 22 defines a main plane 46 , and the portion of the wire 40 located in the receiving portion 34 does not protrude from the main plane 46 .

[0105] In this way, the space behind the refrigeration appliance 10 is not occupied or is less occupied by the wires 40, the volume of the refrigeration appliance 10 in the depth direction is increased, and the space utilization rate is higher.

[0106] When observing the refrigeration appliance 10 from the side, the main plane 46 may not have protrusions corresponding to some of the wires 40 located in the receiving portion 34 .

Figure 4-7 In some embodiments, the second electrical connector 42 is located at a position that does not overlap with the rear wall 22 in the front-to-back direction F.

[0109] In this way, the space behind the refrigeration appliance 10 is not occupied or is less occupied by the second electrical connector 42 , the volume of the refrigeration appliance 10 in the depth direction is increased, and the space utilization rate is higher.

[0110] The second electrical connector 42 may be located at a certain position outside the rear wall 22, or at one of several positions outside the rear wall 22, the latter of which may increase the flexibility of on-site installation of the refrigeration appliance 10. For example, Figure 4 , 5 In the embodiment, the second electrical connector 42 may be selectively located above or to the side of the rear wall 22 of the second electrical connector 42; Figure 1-3 In the embodiment, the second electrical connector 42 is located above the rear wall 22; Figure 6-7In the embodiment, the second electrical connector 42 is located on the side of the rear wall 22; or in an embodiment not shown in the figure, the second electrical connector 42 is located below the rear wall 22, etc. In the aforementioned schemes, the second electrical connector 42 does not overlap with the rear wall 22 in the front-to-back direction F.

[0111] In some embodiments, the second end 32 is disposed above and / or below the electrical connection portion 18 , and the second electrical connector 42 is located above or to the side of the rear wall 22 .

Accordingly, the second electrical connector 42 can be as follows Figure 1-5 The embodiment is located above the rear wall 22 or as Figure 4-7 The embodiment is located on the side of the rear wall 22.

[0114] In some embodiments, a first direction X in which the wire 40 extends from the first electrical connector 38 is different from a second direction S in which the wire 40 passes through the second end 32 .

[0115] In this way, the wire 40 extending from the first electrical connector 38 along the first direction X can be changed to pass through the rear wall 22 along the second direction S, and the direction and position of the electrical connection of the second connector 42 can better meet the on-site installation requirements.

[0116] The first direction X in which the wire 40 extends from the first electrical connector 38 may be as follows: Figure 2-7 The second direction S of the wire 40 passing through the second end 32 can be as follows Figure 2-5 The implementation example is from bottom to top, and can also be as follows Figure 4-7 The embodiment is from right to left, and can also be from left to right in embodiments not shown, or in other suitable directions.
