[0053] The refrigerator 100 provided in the embodiment of the utility model can have various implementation forms. Figures 1 to 10 This is a specific implementation of the refrigerator 100 of the utility model. In this embodiment, the refrigerator 100 includes a box body 10, a door body 20 and an ice-making frame 30.

[0054] The directions described in the text are based on the direction in which the user faces the refrigerator 100, wherein the left and right sides are distinguished by the direction in which the user faces the refrigerator 100, the side facing the user when the refrigerator 100 is in use is defined as the front side, and the side opposite thereto is defined as the rear side, and the upper and lower sides of the refrigerator 100 when generally working normally are defined to distinguish the up and down.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the box 10 is used to form the overall appearance of the refrigerator 100. The box 10 is roughly in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped frame. The top of the box 10 and the bottom of the box 10 are opposite ends. From the top of the box 10 to the bottom of the box 10 is the height direction of the box 10. The left side of the box 10 and the right side of the box 10 are opposite sides. From the left side of the box 10 to the right side of the box 10 is the width direction of the box 10. The front side of the box 10 and the rear side of the box 10 are opposite sides. From the front side of the box 10 to the rear side of the box 10 is the thickness direction of the box 10; wherein, the first direction is the height direction of the box 10, and the second direction is the width direction of the box 10. The box 10 includes a box shell 11 and an inner liner 12. The inner liner 12 is arranged in the box shell 11, and an installation space is formed between the two, which is used to install other component structures of the refrigerator 100 and form a foam insulation layer. A refrigeration chamber 15 is provided inside the inner liner 12. The refrigeration chamber 15 is used to place goods. The refrigeration chamber 15 has a chamber opening, and the chamber opening is arranged toward the front side of the box body 10. The refrigeration chamber 15 can be a refrigerated temperature environment, a frozen temperature environment, or a normal temperature environment.

[0056] Furthermore, a door 20 (not shown) is provided at the opening of the chamber. The door 20 is arranged at the front side of the box body 10 in a straight plate shape, and the door 20 is connected to the box body 10 in an openable and closable manner to open or close the refrigeration chamber 15.

[0057] It can be understood that the refrigerator 100 also includes a refrigeration system (not shown) and an air supply system (not shown), and the refrigeration system and the air supply system are electrically connected to a power supply component, and the power supply component is used to supply electricity to each component of the refrigeration system and the air supply system, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the refrigeration system and the air supply system.

[0058] The refrigeration system is installed in the box 10, and the refrigeration system is used to provide cold air to the refrigeration chamber 15. The refrigeration system generally refers to a closed system composed of components such as a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, a drying filter, a return air pipe and a throttling device, and a refrigerant. Each component is distributed at different positions of the box 10 according to its structural characteristics to meet the requirements of its corresponding function. The working process of the refrigeration system mainly includes a compression process, a condensation process, a throttling process and an evaporation process. The compression process is: after the power cord of the refrigerator 100 is plugged in, when the contacts of the thermostat are connected, the compressor starts to work, and the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant from the evaporator is sucked into the compressor, and is compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas by the action of the compressor and then discharged into the condenser. The condensation process is: the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas exchanges heat with the external environment through the condenser, the temperature drops, and is gradually cooled to a saturated refrigerant vapor of normal temperature and high pressure, and is cooled to a saturated refrigerant liquid. The throttling process is as follows: the condensed refrigerant saturated liquid is filtered through a drying filter to remove moisture and impurities and then flows into the throttling device, where it is throttled and depressurized, and the refrigerant becomes wet steam at room temperature and low pressure. Evaporation process: The wet steam at room temperature and low pressure enters the evaporator and begins to absorb heat for gasification, which lowers the temperature of the evaporator and its surroundings, achieving refrigeration, and turning the refrigerant into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas. The refrigerant coming out of the evaporator returns to the compressor, and the above process is repeated. Energy conversion is performed through the change in the state of the refrigerant, and the heat in the refrigerator 100 is transferred to the air outside the box, thereby achieving the refrigeration cycle of the refrigerator 100.

[0059] The air supply system is installed in the box 10 to provide power for the flow of cold air; the air supply system generally includes a fan and an air supply duct defined in the box 10. In some embodiments, the air inlet end of the air supply duct is arranged close to the fan, and the air outlet end of the air supply duct is arranged away from the fan; in other embodiments, the air outlet end of the air supply duct is arranged close to the fan, and the air inlet end of the air supply duct is arranged away from the fan. The box 10 is also defined to form an air duct cavity, which is connected to the air supply duct and the refrigeration chamber 15 respectively, so that the air supply duct is connected to the refrigeration chamber 15 through the air duct cavity; it should be noted that the inner liner 12 is provided with an air outlet, which is used to connect the air duct cavity and the refrigeration chamber 15. The cold air generated by the refrigeration system enters the air duct cavity through the air supply duct through the operation of the fan, and flows from the air outlet to the refrigeration chamber 15 to cool the refrigeration chamber 15. It should also be noted that, in some embodiments, the air outlet is arranged on the side wall of the inner liner 12 on the side opposite to the opening of the refrigeration chamber 15 or on the side wall of the inner liner 12 on the side adjacent to the opening of the refrigeration chamber 15; it should also be noted that the refrigeration system and the air supply system belong to common knowledge in the field and will not be described in detail here.

[0060] In the above refrigerator, if Figures 1 to 10As shown, the ice-making frame 30 is installed in the refrigeration chamber 15. The ice-making frame 30 is the core bearing component of the ice-making machine. The ice-making frame 30 is used to hang the ice-making machine in the inner tank 12. The ice-making frame 30 includes at least two mounting frames 31 and a locking block 32. The mounting frames 31 are arranged on the inner wall of the inner tank 12 in sequence, and the locking block 32 is arranged between two adjacent mounting frames 31 to fix the two adjacent mounting frames 31. Among them, the mounting frame 31 is provided with a bayonet 315 and a socket 316. The locking block 32 includes a base portion 321, a buckle portion 322 and a latch portion 323. The buckle portion 322 and the latch portion 323 are both connected to the base portion 321, the buckle portion 322 is inserted into the bayonet 315 along the first direction, and the latch portion 323 is inserted into the socket 316 along the second direction. The interior of the mounting frame 31 is used to install the ice-making grid 90 to provide a space for water to condense into ice cubes. By setting up multiple mounting frames 31, multiple ice-making units are formed, and the mounting frames 31 are connected and fixed by locking blocks 32 to realize the structural unitization of the mounting frames 31. The number of mounting frames 31 to be assembled can be selected according to needs, thereby realizing the control of the number of ice-making units. There is no need to produce mounting frames 31 of different specifications, thereby reducing processing costs.

[0061] Further, the ice making rack 30 is installed on the inner tank 12, and the refrigeration chamber 15 is a freezing temperature environment, and then the low temperature environment of the refrigeration chamber 15 is used to condense the water in the ice making grid 90 into ice cubes. In another embodiment, the ice making rack 30 can also be installed on the door body 20. The advantage of installing on the door body 20 is that the ice cubes can be taken out when the door body 20 is in a closed state, which is more convenient to use and improves the user experience. In another embodiment, the ice making rack 30 can also be set in the refrigeration chamber 15 of the refrigeration temperature environment or the normal temperature environment. At this time, the water in the ice making grid 90 cannot be condensed into ice by relying on the temperature environment in the refrigeration chamber 15, so it is necessary to install a condenser on the ice making grid 90, and reduce the temperature of the ice making grid 90 through the condenser, so that the water in the ice making grid 90 condenses into ice.

[0062] Furthermore, the ice making grid 90 is arranged in the mounting frame 31, and the ice making grid 90 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 31. After the water in the ice making grid 90 condenses into ice cubes, the ice cubes are freely dropped into the ice storage box (not shown) below for collection by rotating the ice making grid 90.

[0063] Furthermore, a boss 311 is provided on the outer side of the mounting frame 31. The boss 311 is provided on the outer side wall of the bottom of the mounting frame 31, and the boss 311 is in the shape of a long strip. The boss 311 is relatively provided on both sides of the mounting frame 31 in the first direction, so as to ensure that when the mounting frames 31 are arranged in parallel, a space for the locking block 32 to be installed is formed between two adjacent mounting frames 31 through the boss 311. In this embodiment, the socket 316 is provided on the boss 311, and the bayonet 315 is provided on the side wall of the mounting frame 31 in the first direction.

[0064] Furthermore, the base portion 321 of the locking block 32 is roughly in a square shape. When the locking block 32 is connected to the mounting frame 31, the base portion 321 abuts against the boss 311, and the boss 311 is used to position and support the base portion 321, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the locking block 32 and the mounting frame 31.

[0065] Further, the latch portion 323 and the buckle portion 322 are respectively arranged on both sides of the base portion 321 in the second direction. When the locking block 32 is installed, the locking block 32 is inserted between two adjacent mounting frames 31 along the second direction, so that the latch portion 323 is inserted into the socket 316 on the boss 311, and the buckle portion 322 is snapped into the bayonet 315 on the side wall, so as to achieve the fixing of the locking block 32 to the two adjacent mounting frames 31. When the locking block 32 is removed, the locking block 32 can be pulled out along the second direction. The disassembly and assembly operations of the locking block 32 are simple, and the disassembly and assembly efficiency is improved. In this embodiment, the buckle portion 322 and the latch portion 323 are both arranged in two numbers, and the buckle portion 322 and the latch portion 323 are relatively arranged on both sides of the base portion 321 in the first direction, so as to ensure that the locking block 32 simultaneously fixes the mounting frames 31 on both sides.

[0066] Furthermore, the buckle portion 322 includes a spring piece 3221 and a clamping block 3222. The spring piece 3221 is in the shape of a straight plate and extends along the second direction. The spring piece 3221 is connected to the base portion 321; the clamping block 3222 is convexly arranged on one side of the spring piece 3221 in the first direction. The clamping block 3222 is inserted into the bayonet 315. The spring piece 3221 elastically presses the clamping block 3222 into the bayonet 315 to achieve the clamping connection between the buckle portion 322 and the bayonet 315. During installation, after the locking block 32 is inserted into the preset depth, that is, when the base portion 321 and the boss 311 are against each other, the clamping block 3222 will be correspondingly inserted into the bayonet 315 for clamping; during disassembly, the spring piece 3221 is pressed to make the clamping block 3222 come out of the bayonet 315, and the locking block 32 can be pulled out. The overall installation and disassembly operations are simple and convenient.

[0067] Furthermore, the buckle portion 322 further includes a rib 3223. The rib 3223 is triangular in shape and is disposed on a side of the spring piece 3221 away from the clamping block 3222. The rib 3223 connects the base portion 321 and the spring piece 3221, respectively. The rib 3223 is used to improve the connection reliability between the base portion 321 and the spring piece 3221, thereby preventing the spring piece 3221 from being broken due to the load being concentrated at the joint position between the spring piece 3221 and the base portion 321 during repeated pressing, thereby extending the service life of the locking block 32.

[0068] The cam 322 has a plurality of holes 340, 341, and 342 respectively, which are used to fix the mounting bracket 310. The cam 322 has a plurality of holes 340, 341, and 342 respectively. The cam 322 has a plurality of holes 340, 341, and 342 respectively. The cam 322 has a plurality of holes 340, 341, and 342 respectively. The cam 322 has a plurality of holes 340, 341, and 342 respectively. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the latch portion 323 gradually decreases from the base portion 321 toward a direction away from the base portion 321, and the cross-sectional direction of the latch portion 323 is a planar direction perpendicular to the second direction. By gradually reducing the cross-sectional area of ​​the latch portion 323, the latch portion 323 is easier to insert into the socket 316, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the locking block 32.

[0069] Furthermore, the locking block 32 also includes a positioning portion 324. The positioning portion 324 is connected to the base portion 321, and the positioning portion 324 is arranged on a side of the base portion 321 close to the buckle portion 322. A positioning column 312 is arranged on the mounting frame 31. The positioning column 312 is in the shape of a convex block, and the positioning column 312 penetrates the positioning portion 324 along the second direction.
