Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerator manufacturing, in particular to a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] As a container that can keep food or other items in a constant low-temperature cold state, refrigerators have become one of the essential appliances in modern life. Refrigerators usually rely on the foaming layer of the box body to reduce the heat exchange between the inside of the refrigerator and the external environment, and the foaming layer of the box body is formed by filling the foaming material in the foaming cavity of the box body.

[0003] In the related art, the refrigerator usually assembles the outer shell and the inner liner of the refrigerator first, so that a foaming cavity is formed between the outer shell and the inner liner, and then the assembled outer shell and the inner liner are placed in a foaming mold, and a foaming material is filled into the foaming cavity for foaming. After the foaming of the foaming material is completed, the refrigerator is taken out of the foaming mold, and the foaming material is naturally cooled.

[0004] During the cooling process of the foam material, the foam material will continue to expand. During this process, the expansion of the foam material will cause the inner tank or the outer shell to deform to varying degrees, thereby affecting the appearance quality of the refrigerator. Utility Model Content

[0005] The embodiment of the utility model provides a refrigerator, which solves the problem that the foaming material in the refrigerator continues to expand during the cooling process, causing the inner container or the outer shell to deform, thereby affecting the appearance quality of the refrigerator.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the embodiment of the utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] The refrigerator provided in the present application includes: an outer shell, an inner shell, a foaming material and a support. The outer shell is formed with a receiving cavity with an opening on one side, the inner shell is arranged in the receiving cavity and connected to the outer shell, the inner shell is formed with a storage cavity with an opening on one side, the opening of the receiving cavity and the opening of the storage cavity are located on the same side of the refrigerator, a foaming cavity is formed between the outer shell and the inner shell, the foaming material is filled in the foaming cavity, and the storage cavity has a first side wall and a second side wall along the width direction of the refrigerator. The support is arranged in the storage cavity, one end of the support is connected to the first side wall, and the other end of the support is connected to the second side wall; one end of the support passes through the first side wall and is connected to one side of the outer shell in the width direction of the refrigerator, and the other end of the support passes through the second side wall and is connected to the other side of the outer shell in the width direction of the refrigerator.

[0008] By connecting the first side wall and the second side wall through the support member, the support member can provide a supporting force for the first side wall and the second side wall along the width direction of the refrigerator. In this way, when the refrigerator is taken out of the foaming mold and the temperature is naturally lowered, the foaming material continues to expand and squeezes the first side wall and the second side wall of the inner container. The supporting force provided by the support member to the first side wall and the second side wall is opposite to the direction of the force exerted by the foaming material on the first side wall and the second side wall, so that the force exerted on the first side wall and the second side wall by the foaming material when expanding can be offset, so as to reduce the deformation of the inner container and ensure the appearance quality of the inner container.

[0009] Furthermore, by connecting one end of the support member to one side of the outer shell in the width direction of the refrigerator and the other end of the support member to the other side of the outer shell in the width direction of the refrigerator, the support member can provide the outer shell with a pulling force in the width direction of the refrigerator. In this way, when the refrigerator is taken out of the foaming mold and naturally cooled, the foaming material continues to expand and squeezes the two side walls of the outer shell in the width direction of the refrigerator. The pulling force provided by the support member to the two side walls of the outer shell in the width direction of the refrigerator is opposite to the force of the foaming material on the two side walls of the outer shell in the width direction of the refrigerator, thereby offsetting the force of the foaming material on the two side walls of the outer shell in the width direction of the refrigerator, so as to reduce the deformation of the outer shell and ensure the appearance quality of the outer shell.

[0010] Therefore, by setting the support member, the appearance quality of the outer shell and the inner tank of the refrigerator can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring the appearance quality of the refrigerator.

[0011] Furthermore, the support member includes a connecting rod, which is arranged in the storage cavity, one end of the connecting rod is connected to the first side wall, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the second side wall.

[0016] Furthermore, the refrigerator also includes a shelf, which is arranged in the storage cavity and connected to the first side wall and the second side wall, and at least a part of the connecting rod is located on a side of the shelf close to the opening of the storage cavity.

[0017] Furthermore, the connecting rod includes a plastic rod and a metal rod, an installation space extending along the axial direction of the connecting rod is formed in the plastic rod, the metal rod is arranged in the installation space, and / or the connecting rod includes a receiving portion and a limiting portion, the receiving portion is arranged on the lower side of the shelf and contacts the shelf, and the limiting portion is connected to the receiving portion and is located on the side of the shelf close to the opening of the storage cavity.

[0018] Furthermore, the refrigerator includes a plurality of support members, and the plurality of support members are arranged at intervals along a height direction of the refrigerator.

[0019] The refrigerator provided in the present application includes an outer shell, an inner shell, a foaming material and a supporting member.

[0047] The present application provides a refrigerator. Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator includes a housing 1. The appearance of the housing 1 may be a cube. The housing 1 is used to protect the equipment inside the refrigerator and the items stored inside the refrigerator to prevent the equipment inside the refrigerator and the items stored inside the refrigerator from being damaged.

[0048] It should be noted that the equipment inside the refrigerator may include a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, a throttling device (for example, a capillary tube), and a refrigerant pipe connecting the compressor, the evaporator, the condenser and the throttling device.

[0049] The food inside the refrigerator can be vegetables, meat, medicine, etc.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 of the refrigerator is formed with a receiving cavity 11 with one side open. The receiving cavity 11 is used to provide installation space for equipment inside the refrigerator and to provide storage space for items stored inside the refrigerator.

[0051] Continue to see Figure 2 The refrigerator provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes an inner liner 2. The inner liner 2 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 11 and connected to the outer shell 1. The outer shape of the inner liner 2 matches the outer shell 1, for example, the inner liner 2 may also be in a cubic shape.

[0052] The inner container 2 is used to place items stored inside the refrigerator. Specifically, the inner container 2 is formed with a storage cavity 21 with an opening on one side, and the opening of the storage cavity 21 and the opening of the accommodating cavity 11 are located on the same side of the refrigerator.

[0053] For example, the plane where the opening of the storage cavity 21 is located coincides with the plane where the opening of the accommodating cavity 11 is located (for example, the opening of the storage cavity 21 and the opening of the accommodating cavity 11 are both located at Figure 2 A in the figure).

[0054] For example, the opening of the storage cavity 21 is located on the side of the bottom wall of the storage cavity 21 away from the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11 , and the plane where the opening of the storage cavity 21 is located is parallel to the plane where the opening of the accommodating cavity 11 is located.

[0055] In this way, when taking items into or out of the inner liner 2 , it is convenient to put the items into or take out of the storage cavity 21 through the opening of the accommodating cavity 11 and the opening of the storage cavity 21 .

[0056] In some embodiments, a plurality of storage chambers may be defined in the storage cavity by partition plates. The plurality of storage chambers may be at least one of a refrigeration chamber, a freezing chamber, and a fresh-keeping chamber.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The refrigerator further comprises at least one shelf 5. The shelf 5 is used for placing items stored inside the refrigerator.

[0058] Exemplarily, the refrigerator further comprises a shelf 5, which can be arranged in one of the refrigerator compartment, the freezer compartment, and the fresh-keeping compartment, and the thickness direction of the shelf 5 is parallel to the height direction of the refrigerator (e.g. Figure 1 The H direction shown in FIG.

[0059] Exemplarily, the refrigerator further comprises a plurality of shelves 5, the thickness directions of the plurality of shelves 5 are all consistent with the height direction of the refrigerator, and the plurality of shelves 5 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the refrigerator. The plurality of shelves 5 can be arranged in at least one of the refrigerating chamber, the freezing chamber, and the cold and fresh chamber.

[0060] Exemplarily, the shelf 5 is slidably connected to the inner container 2 so that the shelf 5 can be moved along the depth direction of the refrigerator (such as Figure 1 The shelf 5 can be moved in the S direction (shown in FIG. 1 ), thereby facilitating the placement of items on the shelf 5.

[0061] In some embodiments, the refrigerator further comprises a drawer. The drawer is used to place items stored inside the refrigerator. The drawer can be arranged in at least one of the refrigerating chamber, the freezing chamber, and the fresh-keeping chamber, and the drawer can be moved along the depth direction of the refrigerator.

[0062] In some embodiments, the refrigerator includes a door body (not shown in the figure). The door body is arranged at the opening of the accommodating cavity 11 and is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The door body is used to open or close the accommodating cavity 11, thereby opening or closing the storage cavity 21.

[0063] When the door body opens the storage cavity 21, the storage cavity 21 is connected to the external space, which is convenient for taking items out of the storage cavity 21. When the door body closes the storage cavity 21, the storage cavity 21 is isolated from the external space, which is convenient for protecting and storing the items in the storage cavity 21.

[0064] Exemplarily, the refrigerator includes one or more door bodies. When the refrigerator includes multiple door bodies, the multiple door bodies can be arranged relative to each other or arranged along the height direction of the refrigerator.

[0065] Exemplarily, the refrigerator further comprises at least one door shelf. The door shelf is arranged on the inner side of the door body and is used to place items stored inside the refrigerator. For example, the refrigerator comprises a plurality of door shelves, and the plurality of door shelves are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the refrigerator.

[0066] Continue to see Figure 2 A foaming cavity 3 is formed between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2.

[0067] For example, see Figure 4 , along the width of the refrigerator (such as Figure 4 The storage cavity 21 has a first side wall 211 and a second side wall 212. Figure 5 Along the width direction of the refrigerator, the accommodating cavity 11 has a third side wall 111 and a fourth side wall 112. Figure 6 The first side wall 211 is located between the second side wall 212 and the third side wall 111 , and the second side wall 212 is located between the first side wall 211 and the fourth side wall 112 .

[0068] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 There is a first gap between the first side wall 211 and the third side wall 111, there is a second gap between the second side wall 212 and the fourth side wall 112, and there is a third gap between the bottom wall surface of the storage cavity 21 and the bottom wall surface of the accommodating cavity 11. The first gap, the second gap and the third gap are connected to form a foaming cavity 3.

[0069] In some embodiments, the foaming chamber 3 is equipped with equipment inside the refrigerator. The equipment inside the refrigerator can form a refrigeration system of the refrigerator. Specifically, the refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser, a drier filter, a capillary tube and an evaporator, and the compressor, the condenser, the capillary tube, the drier filter and the evaporator are sequentially connected through a refrigerant pipeline to form a refrigerant circulation loop. The refrigeration system of the refrigerator includes four main processes during operation, which are compression process, cooling and heating process, throttling process and evaporation process.

[0070] The compression process is that after the refrigerator is powered on, the compressor starts working, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant is sucked into the compressor, compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gas in the compressor cylinder, and then discharged into the condenser.

[0071] The cooling and heating process is that the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas dissipates heat through the condenser, the temperature continues to drop, and it is gradually cooled into saturated steam at room temperature and high pressure, and further cooled into saturated liquid.

[0072] The throttling process is that the saturated liquid refrigerant after cooling and heating is filtered out of moisture and impurities by a drying filter and then flows into the capillary tube. The capillary tube is throttled and the pressure is reduced, and the refrigerant becomes a gas at normal temperature and low pressure.

[0073] The evaporation process is that the refrigerant gas at room temperature and low pressure begins to absorb heat and vaporize in the evaporator, which not only reduces the temperature of the evaporator and its surroundings, but also turns the refrigerant into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas.

[0074] In some embodiments, the refrigerator further includes an air duct, which is in communication with the chamber where the evaporator is located and is in communication with the storage chamber 21. The refrigerant performs heat exchange with the air in the chamber where the evaporator is located in the evaporator to reduce the temperature of the air in the chamber where the evaporator is located, and the cooled air enters the storage chamber 21 through the air duct to reduce the temperature of the storage chamber 21, thereby facilitating the storage of items in the storage chamber 21.

[0075] There may be multiple air ducts, one of which connects a storage chamber with the chamber where the evaporator is located, so as to cool the corresponding storage chamber.

[0076] In some embodiments, the refrigerator further comprises a fan, which is disposed in the first chamber and at the inlet of the air duct, and is used to blow the cooled air toward the storage chamber 21 .

[0077] In some embodiments, the refrigerator further comprises an electric control component, such as an electric control panel, which is used to control the operation and stop of the refrigeration system.

[0078] In some embodiments, the foaming cavity 3 is further filled with a foaming material, which may be EVA, EPDM, SBR, CR, NBR / PVC, PE, XPE / IXPE, etc.

[0079] The foaming material can form a foaming layer in the foaming cavity 3, and the foaming layer is used to reduce the cold air loss inside the refrigerator, thereby maintaining the temperature inside the refrigerator stable, and reduce the impact of external heat on the temperature inside the refrigerator, thereby improving the energy efficiency performance of the refrigerator.

[0080] It should be noted that, in the process of filling the foaming material into the foaming cavity 3, an installation position will be reserved for the equipment inside the refrigerator.

[0081] When the foaming material is filled into the foaming cavity 3, the assembled outer shell 1 and the inner liner 2 are usually placed in a foaming mold, and then the foaming material is filled into the foaming cavity for foaming. In this way, the shape of the foaming layer formed after the foaming material is foamed can be defined by the foaming mold.

[0082] However, in order to improve the use efficiency of the foaming mold, after the foaming of the foaming material is completed, the refrigerator is usually taken out of the foaming mold to cool the foaming material naturally.

[0083] However, during the natural cooling process of the foam material, since the temperature of the foam material is still relatively high, the foam material will continue to expand. The continued expansion of the foam material may cause the inner tank 2 or the outer shell 1 to deform to varying degrees, thereby affecting the appearance quality of the refrigerator.

[0084] Specifically, the inner container 2 has five side walls, namely, two side walls in the height direction of the refrigerator, two side walls in the width direction of the refrigerator (ie, the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 ) and the bottom wall of the storage cavity 21 .

[0085] Among them, the two side walls of the inner tank 2 in the height direction of the refrigerator are short because the width and depth of the refrigerator are short, and the corresponding two side walls of the inner tank 2 in the height direction of the refrigerator are small, and these two side walls are not easy to deform. Because the refrigeration system is usually arranged in the third gap, it will support the bottom wall of the storage cavity 21, so that there are more force-bearing positions on the bottom wall of the storage cavity 21, so the bottom wall of the storage cavity 21 is not easy to deform.

[0086] Since the height of the refrigerator is relatively large, the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 have relatively large areas. When the foam material expands, it will generate a force to bring the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 closer to each other, so that the first side wall 211 bulges toward the storage cavity 21, and the second side wall 212 also bulges toward the storage cavity 21, thereby affecting the appearance quality of the inner container 2.

[0087] Specifically, the housing 1 has five side walls, namely, two side walls in the height direction of the refrigerator, two side walls in the width direction of the refrigerator (ie, the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112 ) and the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11 .

[0088] The two side walls of the housing 1 in the height direction of the refrigerator are short because the width and depth of the refrigerator are short, and the corresponding two side walls of the housing 1 in the height direction of the refrigerator are small, so these two side walls are not easy to deform. Because the refrigeration system is usually arranged in the third gap, it will support the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, so that there are more force-bearing positions on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, so the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11 is not easy to deform.

[0089] Since the height of the refrigerator is relatively large, the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112 have relatively large areas. When the foam material expands, it will generate a force to move the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112 away from each other, so that the third side wall 111 bulges away from the accommodating cavity 11, and the fourth side wall 112 also bulges away from the accommodating cavity 11, thereby affecting the appearance quality of the housing 1.

[0090] Based on this, Figure 7As shown, the refrigerator further includes a support member 4. The support member 4 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 11, and is used to provide a force along the width direction of the refrigerator to the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212, and is used to provide a force along the width direction of the refrigerator to the two side walls of the housing 1 in the width direction of the refrigerator (i.e., the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112).

[0091] Specifically, part of the support member 4 is disposed in the storage cavity 21 , one end of the support member 4 is connected to the first side wall 211 , and the other opposite end of the support member 4 is connected to the second side wall 212 .

[0092] It should be noted that the portion of the support member 4 between the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 is located in the storage cavity 21 .

[0093] When the refrigerator is taken out of the foaming mold and cooled naturally, the foaming material continues to expand, thereby generating an extrusion force on the first side wall 211 to deform toward the storage cavity 21 , and generating an extrusion force on the second side wall 212 to deform toward the storage cavity 21 .

[0094] By connecting the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 through the support member 4, the support member 4 can provide a supporting force for the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 along the width direction of the refrigerator.

[0095] In this way, the support member 4 provides a supporting force for the first side wall 211 along the width direction of the refrigerator, which is opposite to the extrusion force of the foaming material squeezing the first side wall 211. The support member 4 provides a supporting force for the second side wall 212 along the width direction of the refrigerator, which is opposite to the extrusion force of the foaming material squeezing the second side wall 212. This can offset the force acting on the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 when the foaming material expands, thereby reducing the deformation of the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 to ensure the appearance quality of the shell.

[0096] One end of the support member 4 passes through the first side wall 211 and is connected to one side of the housing 1 in the width direction of the refrigerator, specifically, the support member 4 is connected to the third side wall 111. The other end of the support member 4 passes through the second side wall 212 and is connected to the other side of the housing 1 in the width direction of the refrigerator, specifically, the support member 4 is connected to the fourth side wall 112.

[0097] It should be noted that the portion of the support member 4 located between the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112 is located in the accommodating cavity 11 , that is, the entire support member 4 is located in the accommodating cavity 11 .

[0098] When the refrigerator is taken out of the foaming mold and naturally cooled, the foaming material continues to expand, thereby generating an extrusion force on the third side wall 111 that deforms in a direction away from the accommodating cavity 11 , and generating an extrusion force on the fourth side wall 112 that deforms in a direction away from the accommodating cavity 11 .

[0099] By connecting the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112 in the width direction of the refrigerator through the support member 4, the support member 4 can provide a pulling force in the width direction of the refrigerator for the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112. In this way, the pulling force in the width direction of the refrigerator provided by the support member 4 to the third side wall 111 is opposite to the extrusion force of the foam material pressing the third side wall 111, and the pulling force in the width direction of the refrigerator provided by the support member 4 to the fourth side wall 112 is opposite to the extrusion force of the foam material pressing the fourth side wall 112, so as to offset the force acting on the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112 when the foam material expands, so as to reduce the deformation of the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112, so as to ensure the appearance quality of the shell.

[0100] See also Figure 1 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, one support member 4 is provided.

[0101] Exemplarily, a support member 4 is disposed in the middle of the refrigerator. In this way, the support member 4 can provide a suitable force-bearing position for the first side wall 211, the second side wall 212, the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112. The support member 4 can effectively prevent the first side wall 211, the second side wall 212, the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112 from deforming.

[0102] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of support members 4 are provided, and the plurality of support members 4 are spaced apart along the height direction of the refrigerator.

[0103] The plurality of support members 4 can increase the force-bearing positions of the first side wall 211 , the second side wall 212 , the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112 to better prevent the first side wall 211 , the second side wall 212 , the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112 from deforming.

[0104] In some embodiments, the support member 4 may be a rod-shaped structure, a plate-shaped structure, etc.

[0105] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, the support member 4 includes a connecting rod 41. The connecting rod 41 can be made of metal, such as iron, aluminum, stainless steel, etc. The connecting rod can also be made of hard plastic.

[0106] The connecting rod 41 is disposed in the storage cavity 21 , one end of the connecting rod 41 is connected to the first side wall 211 , and the other end of the connecting rod 41 is connected to the second side wall 212 .

[0107] Exemplarily, one end of the connecting rod 41 is connected to the first side wall 211 by means of threaded connection, clamping connection, etc.

[0108] Exemplarily, one end of the connecting rod 41 is an integral structure with the first side wall 211 .

[0109] Exemplarily, the other end of the connecting rod 41 is connected to the second side wall 212 by means of threaded connection, clamping connection, etc.

[0110] Exemplarily, the other end of the connecting rod 41 is an integral structure with the first side wall 211 .

[0111] When the foaming material continues to expand, the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 are subjected to the squeezing force generated by the foaming material toward the storage cavity 21. Since the connecting rod 41 has a supporting force on the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212, and the direction of the supporting force is away from the storage cavity 21, the squeezing force generated by the foaming material on the first side wall 211 and the supporting force generated by the connecting rod 41 in the storage cavity 21 are opposite in direction, and the squeezing force generated by the foaming material on the second side wall 212 and the supporting force generated by the connecting rod 41 in the storage cavity 21 are opposite in direction.

[0112] In this way, through the support of the connecting rod 41 on the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212, after the foam material applies an extrusion force to the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212, the extrusion force is transmitted to the connecting rod 41, and the connecting rod 41 has a certain strength, and the connecting rod 41 will not be deformed, that is, the distance between the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 is fixed. Therefore, the connecting rod 41 will generate a reaction force, that is, a supporting force, on the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212, and the reaction force is the same as the extrusion force generated by the foam material on the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212.

[0113] Therefore, during the cooling process of the foaming material, the support force of the connecting rod 41 on the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the extrusion force of the foaming material on the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212. Therefore, the deformation amount of the first side wall 211 in the direction of the storage cavity 21 is reduced, and this deformation amount will not affect the appearance quality of the product. In some embodiments, continue to see Figure 7 , connecting rod 41( Figure 7 The middle support member 4 (i.e., the connecting rod 41) can also connect the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112. Specifically, one end of the connecting rod 41 passes through the first side wall 211 and is connected to the third side wall 111; the other end of the connecting rod 41 passes through the second side wall 212 and is connected to the fourth side wall 112.

[0114] The connecting rod 41 is fixedly connected to the first side wall 211, the second side wall 212, the third side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 112. Fig. 9 The support member 4 includes a connecting plate 42, and the connecting plate 42 is arranged in the foaming cavity 3. The connecting plate 42 is used to support the third side wall 111 or the fourth side wall 112 to prevent the third side wall 111 or the fourth side wall 112 from deforming.

[0115] For example, Fig.10 As shown, one connecting plate 42 is provided. At this time, the connecting plate 42 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 41 and is connected to one side of the housing 1 close to the first side wall 211 in the width direction of the refrigerator (ie, the third side wall 111).

[0116] In this way, when the foaming material continues to expand, the third side wall 111 is subjected to the extrusion force generated by the foaming material in the direction away from the accommodating cavity 11, and the connecting plate 42 exerts a pulling force on the third side wall 111, and the direction of the pulling force is toward the accommodating cavity 11. The extrusion force generated by the foaming material on the third side wall 111 and the pulling force generated by the connecting plate 42 on the third side wall 111 are opposite in direction.

[0117] The third side wall 111 is connected by the connecting plate 42. After the foam material applies an extrusion force to the third side wall 111, the extrusion force is transmitted to the connecting plate 42. The connecting plate 42 transmits the force to the connecting rod 41. The connecting plate 42 has a certain strength and will not deform. Therefore, the connecting plate 42 will generate a reaction force, i.e., a pulling force, on the third side wall 111, and the reaction force is the same as the extrusion force generated by the foam material on the third side wall 111.

[0118] Alternatively, the connecting plate 42 is connected to the other end of the connecting rod 41 and is connected to a side of the outer shell 1 close to the second side wall 212 in the width direction of the refrigerator (ie, the fourth side wall 112).

[0119] In this way, when the foaming material continues to expand, the fourth side wall 112 is subjected to the extrusion force generated by the foaming material in the direction away from the accommodating cavity 11, and the connecting plate 42 exerts a pulling force on the fourth side wall 112, and the direction of the pulling force is toward the accommodating cavity 11, and the extrusion force generated by the foaming material on the fourth side wall 112 and the pulling force generated by the connecting plate 42 on the fourth side wall 112 are opposite in direction.

[0120] The fourth side wall 112 is connected by the connecting plate 42. After the foaming material applies an extrusion force to the fourth side wall 112, the extrusion force is transmitted to the connecting plate 42, and the connecting plate 42 then transmits the force to the connecting rod 41. The connecting plate 42 has a certain strength and the connecting plate 42 will not deform. Therefore, the connecting plate 42 will generate a reaction force, i.e., a pulling force, on the fourth side wall 112, and this reaction force is the same as the extrusion force generated by the foaming material on the fourth side wall 112. Exemplarily, the connecting plate 42 connects one end of the connecting rod 41 and the third side wall 111, the connecting rod 41 connects the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212, and the other end of the connecting rod 41 passes through the second side wall 212 and is connected to the fourth side wall 112.

[0121] Exemplarily, this example is not shown in the figure, the connecting plate 42 connects the other end of the connecting rod 41 and the fourth side wall 112, the connecting rod 41 connects the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212, and one end of the connecting rod 41 passes through the first side wall 211 and is connected to the third side wall 111.

[0122] Continue to see Fig. 9 Exemplarily, two connecting plates 42 can also be provided, wherein one connecting plate 42 connects one end of the connecting rod 41 and the third side wall 111 , and the other connecting plate 42 connects the other end of the connecting rod 41 and the fourth side wall 112 , and the connecting rod 41 connects the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 .

[0123] Exemplarily, a plurality of connecting plates 42 are provided. Some of the connecting plates 42 are provided between the first side wall 211 and the third side wall 111, and are all connected to the first side wall 211 and the third side wall 111. Another portion of the connecting plates 42 is provided between the second side wall 212 and the fourth side wall 112, and are all connected to the second side wall 212 and the fourth side wall 112.

[0124] By providing a plurality of connecting plates 42, the supporting effect on the first side wall 211 and the third side wall 111, as well as the supporting effect on the second side wall 212 and the fourth side wall 112 can be enhanced, thereby better preventing the first side wall 211, the third side wall 111, the second side wall 212 and the fourth side wall 112 from deforming.

[0125] In some embodiments, Fig.11 As shown, in the refrigerator provided in the present application, a snap-in groove 12 is formed on the outer shell 1 , and the opening of the snap-in groove 12 faces the foaming cavity 3 .

[0126] The snap-in groove 12 is used to connect with the connecting plate 42. When the connecting plate 42 is located between the first side wall 211 and the third side wall 111, in some examples, the snap-in groove 12 is provided on the side of the third side wall 111 close to the first side wall 211 along the width direction of the refrigerator, and in other examples, a first bending portion is formed at one end of the third side wall 111 away from the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, the first bending portion is bent along the direction of the third side wall 111 pointing to the first side wall 211, and the snap-in groove 12 is provided on the first bending portion. The first bending portion is used to connect with the first side wall 211.

[0127] When the connecting plate 42 is located between the second side wall 212 and the fourth side wall 112, in some examples, the clamping groove 12 is provided on the side of the fourth side wall 112 close to the second side wall 212 along the width direction of the refrigerator, and in other examples, a second bending portion is formed at one end of the fourth side wall 112 away from the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, the second bending portion is bent along the direction of the fourth side wall 112 pointing to the second side wall 212, and the clamping groove 12 is provided on the second bending portion. The second bending portion is used to connect with the second side wall 212.

[0128] When connecting plates 42 are provided between the first side wall 211 and the third side wall 111, and between the second side wall 212 and the fourth side wall 112, a snap-in groove 12 is provided on the side of the third side wall 111 and one of the first bending parts close to the first side wall 211 along the width direction of the refrigerator, and a snap-in groove 12 is provided on the side of the fourth side wall 112 and one of the second bending parts close to the second side wall 212 along the width direction of the refrigerator.

[0129] In the following description, the example in which the connecting plate 42 is located between the first side wall 211 and the third side wall 111 is used for illustration.

[0130] Exemplarily, the snap-fit ​​groove 12 can be made by a roller slotting method.

[0131] In some embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, the connecting plate 42 provided in the present application includes an elastic portion 421. The elastic portion 421 can be engaged with the engaging groove 12 (see Fig.11 ).

[0132] Exemplarily, the elastic portion 421 may be an elastic plate, rubber, latex, or the like.

[0133] Continue to see Fig.12 , illustratively, the elastic portion 421 is a U-shaped structure formed by bending a clamping plate, and the U-shaped structure has two opposite plates.

[0134] When the elastic portion 421 is engaged with the engaging groove 12, Fig.11Under the elastic action of the elastic part 421, one of the plates of the elastic part 421 contacts one surface of the clamping slot 12 in the second direction, and the other plate opposite to the elastic part 421 contacts another surface of the clamping slot 12 in the second direction, so that the clamping part is tightly connected to the clamping slot 12. The second direction is perpendicular to the depth direction of the clamping slot 12.

[0135] The U-shaped structure can increase the contact area between the elastic portion 421 and the wall surface of the clamping groove 12 , so that the elastic portion 421 and the clamping groove 12 are firmly fixed.

[0136] In some embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, the connecting plate 42 includes a fitting portion 422 .

[0137] like Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the fitting portion 422 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 41 , and the fitting portion 422 fits the first side wall 211 .

[0138] The contact area between the connecting plate 42 and the first side wall 211 can be increased by the fitting portion 422 fitting the first side wall 211. When the foaming material expands in the foaming cavity 3, the fitting portion 422 is in full contact with the foaming material, and the extrusion force provided by the expansion of the foaming material is dispersed on the fitting portion 422, thereby avoiding the concentration of the extrusion force generated by the foaming material, which causes the deformation of the liner 2.

[0139] Continue to see Fig.12 , the connecting plate 42 also includes a supporting portion 423 .

[0140] Combination Fig.12 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 The support portion 423 is connected to the fitting portion 422 and to the housing 1 . Specifically, the support portion 423 is connected to the third side wall 111 . For example, the support portion 423 is connected to the third side wall 111 through the elastic portion 421 .

[0141] The supporting portion 423 is used to provide a supporting force to the fitting portion 422 and the third side wall 111 , and further provide a bearing force to the first side wall 211 and the third side wall 111 .

[0142] When the snap-in slot 12 is opened at the first bending portion, one end of the connecting rod 41 is located on the side of the snap-in slot 12 close to the bottom wall surface of the accommodating cavity 11 along the depth direction of the refrigerator. At this time, if one end of the support portion 423 is connected to the snap-in slot 12 through the elastic portion 421, and the other end of the support portion 423 is directly connected to one end of the connecting rod 41, the support portion 423 will be tilted, thereby reducing the supporting effect of the rigid support portion 423.

[0143] By setting the fitting portion 422 so that the fitting portion 422 is located at one end of the connecting rod 41 and close to the first bending portion along the depth direction of the refrigerator, and the other end of the supporting portion 423 is connected to the fitting portion 422, the inclination of the supporting portion 423 can be reduced, thereby improving the supporting effect of the supporting portion 423 on the first side wall 211 and the third side wall 111.

[0144] In some embodiments, Fig.15 As shown, the connection plate 42 provided in the present application includes a base plate 424 .

[0145] Combination Fig.13 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 The substrate 424 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 41 and is attached to the first side wall 211 .

[0146] The base plate 424 can be divided into three parts, namely, a first part, a second part and a third part. The first part is located at the fitting part 422, the second part is located at the supporting part 423, and the third part is located at the elastic part 421. The first part fits with the first side wall 211 and is connected to one end of the connecting rod 41.

[0147] In some embodiments, the substrate 424 may also fit the third side wall 111 . For example, the snap-in groove 12 is opened in the third side wall 111 , and the third portion is located in the snap-in groove 12 , so that the third portion fits the third side wall.

[0148] like Fig.16 As shown, for example, the base plate 424 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 41, and the base plate 424 is also connected to the housing 1. The base plate 424 and the housing 1 are connected by a plurality of supporting portions 423. Fig.16 The S direction is the depth direction of the storage cavity 21.

[0149] Continue to see Fig.16 The connecting plate 42 is composed of a fitting portion 422 and a plurality of supporting portions 423 .

[0150] The two support portions 423 can better support the third side wall 111, so that the force of the connecting plate 42 acts evenly on the third side wall 111. At the same time, the force-bearing position of the third side wall 111 is increased, ensuring that when the extrusion force of the foam material acts on the third side wall 111, the third side wall 111 will not be deformed due to uneven force along the depth direction of the storage cavity 21.

[0151] like Fig.17 As shown, the connecting plate 42 provided in the present application includes a reinforcing plate 425 , and the reinforcing plate 425 is connected to one side of the base plate 424 along the thickness direction of the base plate 424 .

[0152] The reinforcing plate 425 can increase the structural strength of the connecting plate 42, thereby increasing the supporting force of the connecting plate 42 and making the connecting plate 42 more load-bearing. This ensures that the connecting plate 42 will not be deformed by force, thereby ensuring that the third side wall 111 (see Fig.10 ) will not be deformed under stress.

[0153] Exemplarily, one reinforcing plate 425 is provided, and the reinforcing plate 425 can be provided at one end of the substrate 424 along the first direction, and the extending direction of the reinforcing plate is the thickness direction of the substrate 424 .

[0155] like Fig.18 As shown, the extension directions of the two reinforcing plates 425 may be inconsistent.

[0156] Exemplarily, a plurality of reinforcing plates 425 are provided, and the plurality of reinforcing plates 425 are arranged at intervals, and along the thickness direction of the substrate 424 , at least part of the plurality of reinforcing plates 425 are located on one side of the substrate 424 .

[0157] Exemplarily, the reinforcing plate 425 may be made by flanging the base plate 424 , or the reinforcing plate 425 may be a separate plate-shaped component and connected to the base plate 424 by welding, screwing, or the like.

[0158] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, at least part of the connecting rod 41 is located on the shelf 5 near the storage cavity 21 (see Figure 1 ) on one side of the opening. At least part of the connecting rod 41 can limit the movement of the shelf 5 along the depth direction of the refrigerator.

[0159] The number of the connecting rods 41 may be the same as the number of the shelves 5 , or may be less than the number of the shelves 5 , and one connecting rod 41 is provided correspondingly to one shelf 5 .

[0160] In some embodiments, Fig.19 As shown, the connecting rod 41 includes a metal rod 411 and a plastic rod 412 . An installation space extending along the axial direction of the connecting rod 41 is formed in the plastic rod 412 , and the metal rod 411 is disposed in the installation space.

[0161] The metal rod 411 can improve the strength of the connecting rod 41. Moreover, the plastic rod 412 can reduce the weight of the connecting rod 41. The plastic rod 412 wraps the metal rod 411, which can increase the overall aesthetics of the connecting rod 41.

[0162] Exemplarily, the metal rod 411 is a long strip structure or a round rod structure.

[0163] For example, the material of the plastic rod 412 is similar to that of the inner liner 2 (see Figure 1 ) is made of the same material to increase the integrity of the inner liner 2 and make the inner liner 2 more beautiful.

[0164] In some embodiments, Fig. 20 As shown, the connecting rod 41 provided in the present application includes a receiving portion 413. The receiving portion 413 is arranged on the shelf 5 (see Figure 3 ) lower side and in contact with shelf 5.

[0165] The connecting rod 41 provides support for the shelf 5 so that the shelf 5 can stably receive the items stored thereon.

[0166] The connecting rod 41 provided in the present application further includes a limiting portion 414. The limiting portion 414 is connected to the receiving portion 413 and is located near the storage cavity 21 (see Figure 1 ) on one side of the opening.

[0167] During use of the shelf 5, the limiting portion 414 limits the shelf 5, and the side of the shelf 5 close to the opening of the storage cavity 21 is limited by the limiting portion 414, which can limit the shelf 5 from sliding along the depth direction of the refrigerator. The limiting portion 414 improves the stability of the shelf 5.

[0168] Furthermore, the connecting rod 41 can also be used as a front decorative strip of the shelf 5 to improve the aesthetics of the shelf 5 .
