[0040] Combination Figure 1-6As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a power shield 50 for a refrigerator 10, the refrigerator 10 includes a cabinet 20, a cabin 30 is defined below the cabinet 20, the cabin 30 includes a side panel 40, a wire outlet 41 is provided on the side panel 40, and the power shield 50 is provided at the wire outlet 41. The power shield 50 includes a cover 51 and a cover 52. The cover 51 is provided at the wire outlet 41 and protrudes toward the inner side of the cabin 30, and the protruding part encloses a storage cavity 511. The cover 51 is provided with a first opening 512 and a second opening 513, the first opening 512 is configured to connect the storage cavity 511 and the interior of the cabin 30, so as to allow the power cord plug in the cabin 30 to pass through; the second opening 513 is provided at the wire outlet 41 and connects the storage cavity 511 with the external space. The cover 52 is openably provided at the second opening 513, and is used to open or close the storage cavity 511. The cover 52 includes a notch 521 for the power cord to extend out, and the area of ​​the notch 521 is smaller than the area of ​​the second opening 513. When the power cord plug is not connected to the socket, the power cord plug is arranged in the storage cavity 511; when the power cord plug is connected to the socket, the power cord extends out of the notch 521.

[0041] By using the power shield 50 for the refrigerator 10 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the power cord in the cabin 30 enters the storage cavity 511 from the first opening 512 for storage, and then blocks the second opening 513 through the cover 52. The cover 52 is provided with a notch 521 for the power cord to extend out, and the area of ​​the notch 521 is smaller than the area of ​​the second opening 513. In this way, the gap between the outlet 41 and the external environment is greatly reduced, reducing the risk of foreign objects and small animals entering from the outlet 41, and ensuring the safety of electricity use in the cabin 30. In addition, the power cord plug can be placed in the storage cavity 511, and the cover 52 prevents the plug from falling out of the storage cavity 511, so as to achieve the storage and fixation of the plug, and prevent the plug from scratching the cabinet 20, the wall or the packaging box during the transportation or movement of the refrigerator 10.

[0042] Optionally, combined Figure 2 As shown, the cover body 51 also includes a first side wall 514 disposed on the periphery of the second opening 513, and the cover body 52 includes a body 522 and a cover-opening boss 523. The body 522 includes a first side 5221 and a second side 5222 disposed opposite to each other, and the first side 5221 is rotatably connected to one side of the first side wall 514. The cover-opening boss 523 is disposed on the second side 5222 of the body 522 and protrudes toward the opening direction of the cover body 52. ​​In the closed state of the cover body 52, the cover-opening boss 523 is opposite to the other side of the first side wall 514, and a gap is formed with the other side of the first side wall 514, so as to apply a force to the cover body 52.

[0043] In this way, by applying a force to the cover-opening boss 523, the cover body 52 is rotated relative to one side of the first side wall 514 to open or close the storage cavity 511, and the power cord plug in the storage cavity 511 is taken out or stored in the storage cavity 511. In addition, a gap is left between the cover-opening boss 523 and the first side wall 514, so that the user can smoothly insert a finger or a cover-opening tool into the gap, and then apply an outward force to the cover-opening boss 523, so as to open the cover body 52.

[0044] Optionally, a side of the first side wall 514 facing away from the side plate 40 is provided with an avoidance groove 5141 , and the avoidance groove 5141 is located on the inner side of the cover opening boss 523 .

[0045] In this way, the gap between the cover opening boss 523 and the first side wall 514 is further deepened by the avoidance groove 5141 , and in the process of opening the cover body 52 , the user can more smoothly extend his fingers or cover opening tools into the gap, thereby applying an outward force to the cover opening boss 523 .

[0046] Optionally, the cover 52 includes a first snap-fit ​​structure 524 located inside the body 522, and the cover 51 also includes a first snap-fit ​​structure. The first snap-fit ​​structure snaps with the first snap-fit ​​structure 524, so that the cover 52 and the cover 51 are snap-fitted.

[0047] In this way, the cover body 52 is connected to the cover body 51 through the snap-fitting engagement of the first snap-fitting structure 524 and the first snap-fitting engagement structure, and the cover body 52 is fixed on the cover body 51, so as to prevent the cover body 52 from rotating relative to the cover body 51 during the transportation or movement of the refrigerator 10, causing the storage cavity 511 to be opened, and then causing the power cord plug to fall out of the storage cavity 511 and scratch the cabinet 20, the wall or the packaging box, etc., and also to prevent the power cord plug from being squeezed and deformed, affecting its use.

[0048] Optionally, the cover 52 further includes a reinforcing rib 525 , which is disposed around the inner side of the body 522 and abuts against the inner side of the first side wall 514 . The first clamping structure 524 is disposed on two opposite sides of the reinforcing rib 525 .

[0049] The reinforcing rib 525 is wound around the inner side of the body 522, and the reinforcing rib 525 abuts against the inner side of the first side wall 514, so that the reinforcing rib 525 can increase the sealing between the cover 52 and the cover 51, better shield the second opening 513, and prevent small animals such as mice from entering the cabin 30 through the second opening 513 to gnaw the wires, thereby ensuring the safety of electricity use in the cabin 30. In addition, the reinforcing rib 525 can also increase the structural strength of the body 522, thereby increasing the structural strength of the cover 52.

[0050] The first clamping structure 524 is directly arranged on the reinforcing rib 525, so that the interference between multiple components can be reduced, and the appearance is neater and more beautiful. There are two first clamping structures 524, and the two first clamping structures 524 are arranged on the opposite sides of the reinforcing rib 525, so that the clamping between the reinforcing rib 525 and the inner side of the first side wall 514 is tighter, and the clamping between the cover body 52 and the cover body 51 is also tighter, and the sealing between the cover body 52 and the cover body 51 is better, and the protection effect of the interior of the cabin 30 is better. At the same time, it prevents users from inserting their fingers into the interior of the cabin 30 through the outlet 41 to prevent electric shock accidents. In addition, the cover body 52 can prevent the power cord plug from falling off from the storage cavity 511, which plays a role of limiting.

[0051] Optionally, the first clamping structure 524 is disposed on the second side 5222 of the body 522 and is located at the upper and lower sides of the cover opening boss 523 .

[0052] In this way, the first clamping structure 524 is arranged close to the cover opening boss 523, and the first clamping structure 524 and the cover opening boss 523 are both located at the second side 5222 of the body 522, which reduces the force arm, thereby saving the force required to open the cover 52, making the process of opening the cover 52 more labor-saving. At the same time, the first clamping structure 524 reinforces the connection between the cover opening boss 523 and the first side wall 514, preventing the cover opening boss 523 from being accidentally opened, resulting in consequences that the user does not want to see.

[0053] Optionally, the first snap-fit ​​structure 524 is a buckle, and the first snap-fitting structure is a slot, which is disposed on a cavity wall of the receiving cavity 511 .

[0054] In this way, through the cooperation of the buckle and the slot, the reinforcing rib 525 is snapped together with the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 511 , so that the cover body 52 is snapped together with the cover body 51 .

[0055] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the notch 521 is provided on the second side 5222 of the body 522, and includes a first groove wall 5211 and a second groove wall 5212. The second groove wall 5212 is connected to the first groove wall 5211, and together with the first groove wall 5211, they form new sides of the body 522. The first groove wall 5211, the second groove wall 5212 and the first side wall 514 together form a wire hole 5213, and the wire hole 5213 is for the power line to pass through.

[0056] The second groove wall 5212 is connected to the first groove wall 5211, and forms a new side of the body 522 with the first groove wall 5211. When taking out the power cord plug from the storage cavity 511, the cover 52 can be opened first, the power cord plug can be taken out, the power cord can be adjusted to a suitable position, and then the power cord can be placed on the first groove wall 5211 and the second groove wall 5212, and then the cover 52 can be closed. At this time, the power cord is located in the wire hole 5213 surrounded by the first groove wall 5211, the second groove wall 5212 and the first side wall 514. In this way, the area of ​​the notch 521 does not need to be larger than the area of ​​the power cord plug, but only needs to be slightly larger than the diameter of the power cord, thereby reducing the gap between the cover 52 and the external environment, and preventing small animals such as mice from drilling into the cabin 30 from the notch 521 and affecting the function of the cabin 30.

[0057] Optionally, the number of the notches 521 is two, and the two notches 521 are disposed on the second side 5222 of the body 522 and located at the upper and lower sides of the cover opening boss 523 .

[0058] In this way, combined Figure 1 As shown, when the storage volume of the storage cavity 511 is smaller than the total volume of the power cord and the power cord plug, the power cord can be passed through one notch 521, bent and then passed through the storage cavity 511 through another notch 521, and the excess power cord is left outside the storage cavity 511. Figure 3 As shown, when the power cord is designed to be hangable, the portion that needs to be hung is left outside the power shield 50 for hanging, and the other portion and the power cord plug are stored in the storage cavity 511 to meet various design requirements.

[0059] It can be understood that when the storage volume of the power shield 50 is large enough, only one notch 521 can be provided. When the power cord plug is not connected to the socket, the power cord plug and the power cord are both arranged in the storage cavity 511; when the power cord plug is connected to the socket, the power cord extends out from this notch 521. At this time, the cover body 52 is in a closed state, preventing foreign objects and small animals from entering the interior of the cabin 30 from the outlet 41, thereby ensuring the safety of electricity use inside the cabin 30.

[0060] Optionally, along the direction from the first side 5221 to the second side 5222 of the body 522 , the first clamping structure 524 , the notch 521 and the cover-opening boss 523 are sequentially arranged.

[0061] Optionally, combined Figure 4 As shown, the cover body 51 further includes a second clamping structure 515 . The second clamping structure 515 is disposed on the inner side of the side plate 40 and is clamped with the outer peripheral side of the wire outlet 41 , so that the cover body 51 is clamped with the side plate 40 .

[0062] In this way, the cover body 51 is engaged with the side plate 40 through the engagement between the second engaging structure 515 and the outer peripheral side of the wire outlet 41 , and the power supply shield 50 is fixed on the side plate 40 .

[0063] Optionally, the second clamping structure 515 is a buckle, which is provided on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 511 , and the buckle is clamped with the outer peripheral side of the wire outlet 41 .

[0064] The buckle is engaged with the outer peripheral side of the wire outlet 41 , and the wire outlet 41 is arranged on the side plate 40 , that is, the buckle is engaged with the side plate 40 , so that the power supply shield 50 is engaged with the side plate 40 .

[0065] Optionally, there are multiple second clamping structures 515 , and at least one second clamping structure 515 is disposed on each cavity wall of the receiving cavity 511 .

[0066] In this way, at least one second clamping structure 515 is provided on each cavity wall of the receiving cavity 511 , so that the clamping between the cover body 51 and the side plate 40 is tighter.

[0067] Optionally, combined Figure 2 As shown, the first opening 512 is provided at the bottom end of the cover body 51 , and the power cord plug in the cabin 30 extends into the storage cavity 511 through the first opening 512 at the bottom end.

[0068] In this way, the power cord plug in the cabin 30 passes through the first opening 512 from bottom to top and enters the storage cavity 511. When the power cord plug is not connected to the socket, the power cord plug and the power cord are both arranged in the storage cavity 511; when the power cord plug is connected to the socket, the power cord plug is taken out from the second opening 513.

[0069] Optionally, combined Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the first side wall 514 is annular and includes a bottom side portion 5142, and the bottom side portion 5142 is arranged on the outer side of the lower edge of the outlet 41. The cover body 51 also includes a second side wall 516 and a third side wall 517. The second side wall 516 is arranged opposite to the bottom side portion 5142 and is located on the inner side of the lower edge of the outlet 41. The third side wall 517 is connected to the upper end of the second side wall 516 and the upper end of the bottom side portion 5142, and the third side wall 517 is located above the lower edge of the outlet 41.

[0070] It is understandable that the cabinet body 20 of the refrigerator 10 is mostly made of sheet metal, and the wire outlet 41 is generally formed by stamping. The edge of the wire outlet 41 formed by stamping is relatively sharp, which can easily cut the power cord and the operator's hand.

[0071] A power supply shield 50 is provided at the wire outlet 41, and the power cord plug inside the cabin 30 is then extended into the storage cavity 511 from the first opening 512 at the bottom end of the shield body 51, which can protect the power cord from being scratched by the sharp edge of the wire outlet 41 to a certain extent, and at the same time, protect the operator's hands.

[0072] Because the first opening 512 is disposed at the lower edge of the wire outlet 41, the lower edge of the wire outlet 41 poses a greater threat of scratching the power cord. In the disclosed embodiment, the lower edge of the wire outlet 41 is wrapped by the bottom side portion 5142 of the first side wall 514, the second side wall 516, and the third side wall 517, effectively preventing the sharp lower edge of the wire outlet 41 from directly contacting the power cord, reducing the risk of scratching the power cord, and protecting the hands of the operator.

[0073] Optionally, the first clamping structure 524 is clamped with the second side wall 516 so that the cover body 52 is clamped with the cover body 51 .

[0074] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a refrigerator 10, including a cabinet body 20 and a power shield 50. A cabin 30 is defined below the cabinet body 20. The cabin 30 includes a side panel 40, a wire outlet 41 is provided on the side panel 40, and the power shield 50 is provided at the wire outlet 41.

[0075] Optionally, the power shield 50 is an integrally formed injection molded part.

[0076] In this way, it is possible to save costs, optimize the assembly process of components on site, and improve the production efficiency of the refrigerator 10. Moreover, the power shield 50 can be used as a universal part and assembled on refrigerators 10 products of different specifications, and has good versatility.
