[0010] An ice maker is installed on the mounting frame, and the ice maker has a second electrical connection line, the second electrical connection line passes through the second wire hole, the second connection end of the second electrical connection line is located on the side of the mounting frame facing the door liner and is exposed by the wiring through hole, and the second connection end is connected to the first connection end.

[0011] In the refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application, the mounting frame is provided with a wiring through hole. The wiring through hole can expose the first connection end of the first electrical connection line, and can also expose the second end of the second electrical connection line. When the mounting frame is connected to the door liner, the first connection end and the second connection end can be connected on the side of the mounting frame facing away from the door liner.

There is no need for the assembler to support the mounting frame by hand to perform the wiring operation, which saves time and effort in the assembly process, reduces the risk of improper installation of the mounting frame, and improves the assembly efficiency of the refrigerator.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface connected to each other are provided on the side of the door inner shell facing away from the door shell, the first mounting surface extends vertically, and the second mounting surface extends horizontally; the mounting frame includes a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate connected to each other, the first mounting plate is opposite to the first mounting surface and connected to the first mounting surface, the wiring through hole and the second wiring hole are both provided on the first mounting plate; the second mounting plate is opposite to the second mounting surface and connected to the second mounting surface.

[0013] With such an arrangement, the first mounting surface can position the first mounting plate in the horizontal direction, and the second mounting surface can position the second mounting plate in the vertical direction, so that the door liner and the mounting frame can be positioned from multiple directions, thereby improving the relative position accuracy between the door liner and the mounting frame, as well as the ice maker.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the first mounting plate is constructed with a positioning protrusion facing away from the first mounting surface, and the positioning protrusion is used to position at least part of the ice maker.

[0019] With such an arrangement, when the mounting bracket is installed on the door liner, a second gap can be formed between the third recessed portion and the first mounting surface. Since the third recessed portion is connected to the first recessed portion and the second recessed portion, the second gap can be connected to the first gap and the first recessed portion. The second electrical connection line can pass through the first gap and the second gap in sequence and enter the first recessed portion to prevent the second electrical connection line from protruding from the first mounting plate as much as possible, which is beneficial to ensure the relative position accuracy between the first mounting plate and the first mounting surface. In addition, the mounting bracket of the embodiment of the present application can utilize the fixed protrusion for fixing the ice maker to form a second gap for the second electrical connection line to be routed, without the need to set up additional routing space for the second electrical connection line, thereby simplifying the structure of the mounting bracket.

[0025] With such arrangement, the hole wall of the wiring through hole can position the positioning plate, so that the cover plate can be placed in the wiring through hole more easily, thereby improving the convenience when assembling the end cover.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, a first positioning protrusion is provided on the hole wall of the wiring through hole, and the first positioning protrusion surrounds the wiring through hole; a second positioning protrusion is provided on the edge of the cover plate, and the second positioning protrusion abuts against the first positioning protrusion.

[0027] In this way, by providing a first positioning protrusion and a second positioning protrusion abutting against each other between the wiring through hole and the cover plate, the cover plate can be positioned in the extension direction of the wiring through hole, thereby improving the relative position accuracy between the cover plate and the wiring through hole.

[0078] The refrigerator in the related art has a technical problem that the process of installing the ice maker on the door liner is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which reduces the assembly efficiency of the refrigerator. The inventor has found that the reason is that when assembling the ice maker, the ice maker is usually connected to the mounting frame first, and then the second connection end of the second electrical connection line is extended through the second wire hole to the side of the mounting frame facing the door liner. Then the second connection end is connected to the first connection end of the first electrical connection line, and then the mounting frame is installed on the door liner. However, in the process of connecting the second connection end and the first connection end, the assembler needs to support the mounting frame connected to the ice maker with one hand and perform wiring operations with the other hand. Due to the heavy weight of the mounting frame and the ice maker, the assembly process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there is a risk that the mounting frame will not be installed in place, which reduces the assembly efficiency of the refrigerator.

[0079] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator, wherein a wiring through hole is provided on a mounting frame, and the wiring through hole exposes a first connection end of a first connection line and a second connection end of a second electrical connection line. When assembling an ice maker, the ice maker can be first connected to the mounting frame, and then the mounting frame is connected to the door liner, and the wiring through hole of the mounting frame exposes the first connection end and the second connection end, and the first connection end and the second connection end can be connected on the side of the mounting frame facing away from the door liner, and the assembler does not need to support the mounting frame by hand for wiring operation, which saves time and effort in the assembly process, reduces the risk of improper installation of the mounting frame, and improves the assembly efficiency of the refrigerator.

[0080] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0081] refer to Figure 1 , the refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application may include a box body 100 and a door body 200. The box body 100 may be configured with a refrigeration compartment. The refrigeration compartment may be used to store food and other items. The door body 200 may be rotatably connected to the box body 100 to open or close the refrigeration compartment. Exemplarily, there may be multiple door bodies 200. Each refrigeration compartment may be provided with a door body 200, or multiple refrigeration compartments may be provided with a door body 200. Figure 1 As shown, two door bodies 200 may be provided corresponding to one refrigeration compartment.

[0082] Exemplarily, the box body 100 may include a box shell and a box liner. The box shell may be configured with a storage compartment having a first access opening. The box shell may form the appearance of a refrigerator. The box liner may be placed in the storage compartment via the first access opening, and the box liner may be configured with a refrigeration compartment having a second access opening, and the second access opening and the first access opening may be located on the same side of the box shell. A user may place an item into the refrigeration compartment via the second access opening, or take an item out of the refrigeration compartment.

[0083] The box body 100 may further include a first insulation layer. The first insulation layer may be filled between the box liner and the box shell to insulate the refrigeration compartment, reduce the heat exchange between the refrigeration compartment and the outside of the refrigerator, and thus reduce the energy consumption of the refrigerator. Exemplarily, in some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the first insulation layer may be formed by foaming the insulation material and filling it between the box shell and the box liner.

[0084] Continue to refer Figure 2 and Figure 3 , illustratively, the door body 200 may include a door liner 220 and a door shell 210 that are arranged opposite to each other. The door shell 210 forms the appearance of the refrigerator. The door liner 220 may be located on a side of the door shell 210 that faces the refrigeration compartment when the door body 200 is closed. The door shell 210 is connected to the door liner 220.

[0085] The door body 200 may further include a second insulation layer (not shown in the drawings), which may be filled between the door liner 220 and the door shell 210 to insulate the refrigeration compartment when the door body 200 is closed, thereby reducing the heat exchange between the refrigeration compartment and the outside of the refrigerator, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the refrigerator. For example, in some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the second insulation layer may be formed by foaming the insulation material and filling it between the cabinet shell and the cabinet liner.

[0086] The refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application may also include a refrigeration system (not shown in the drawings), which is used to provide cold for the refrigeration compartment. Exemplarily, the refrigeration system may include a compressor, a condenser, a capillary tube and an evaporator that are cyclically connected. When the refrigeration system is running, the compressor compresses the refrigerant vapor to generate high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor, and transports the refrigerant vapor to the condenser. The condenser liquefies the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor to generate a high-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid, and transports it to the capillary tube. After the capillary tube reduces the pressure of the refrigerant liquid, the high-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant liquid is converted into a low-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant liquid, and transported to the evaporator. After receiving the low-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant liquid, the evaporator boils it under isobaric conditions, absorbs heat and vaporizes it to form refrigerant vapor, so as to reduce the temperature in the refrigeration compartment.

[0087] The refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application may further include a power supply system and a control system, etc. The power supply system is used to supply power to the refrigeration system, etc. The control system is used to control the refrigerator to realize different functions of the refrigerator.

[0088] refer to Figure 4 , the door body 200 may also include a first electrical connection line 230. The first connection line may be electrically connected to a power supply system or a control system. The first electrical connection line 230 may have a first connection end 231. The first connection end 231 is used to connect with other components of the refrigerator to power or control the other components. The first electrical connection line 230 may be passed between the door liner 220 and the door shell 210, and the first connection end 231 may extend to the side of the door liner 220 facing away from the door shell 210 to facilitate connection with other components. For example, the door liner 220 may be provided with a first wire hole 221. The first electrical connection line 230 may pass through the first wire hole 221. The first connection end 231 of the first electrical connection line 230 may be located on the side of the door liner 220 facing away from the door shell 210.

[0089] The refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application may further include an ice maker 300, which may be used to make ice. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the ice maker 300 can be installed on the door liner 220 of the door body 200 to prevent the ice maker 300 from occupying the space for storing articles in the refrigeration room as much as possible, thereby increasing the article capacity of the refrigerator.

[0090] Exemplarily, the ice maker 300 may include an ice tray assembly 310, an air supply member 320, and an ice storage bucket 330 mounted on the door liner 220. The ice tray assembly 310 may include an ice tray and an ice turning motor that drives the ice tray to rotate. The ice tray is used to hold water. The air supply member 320 may be located above the ice tray and is used to deliver the cold energy generated by the refrigeration system to the ice tray so that the water in the ice tray condenses into ice cubes. The ice storage bucket 330 may be located below the ice tray and when the ice turning motor drives the ice tray to turn over, the ice storage bucket 330 may hold ice cubes that fall off the ice tray.

[0091] The ice maker 300 may further include an ice dispensing assembly 340 and an ice dispensing motor 350. The ice dispensing assembly 340 may be disposed in the ice storage bucket 330 to dispense ice cubes in the ice storage bucket 330. The ice dispensing motor 350 may be mounted on the door liner 220, and a motor shaft of the ice dispensing motor 350 may be connected to the ice dispensing assembly 340 in the ice storage bucket 330 to drive the ice dispensing assembly 340 to operate.

[0092] The ice maker 300 may further include an ice making housing 360, which may be disposed on the outside of the ice cube assembly 310, the air supply member 320 and the ice storage bucket 330, and connected to the door liner 220. The ice making housing 360 may shield the ice cube assembly 310, the air supply member 320 and the ice storage bucket 330, thereby improving the aesthetics of the door body 200 and the ice maker 300, and may also protect the ice cube assembly 310, the air supply member 320 and the ice storage bucket 330.

[0093] The ice maker 300 may further include sensors such as an ice probe for measuring relevant parameters within the ice maker 300, which will not be described in detail in the embodiment of the present application.

The second mounting plate 440 may be opposite to the second mounting surface 223 and connected to the second mounting surface 223. The first mounting surface 222 may position the first mounting plate 430 in the horizontal direction, and the second mounting surface 223 may position the second mounting plate 440 in the vertical direction, so that the door liner 220 and the mounting frame 400 may be positioned from multiple directions, thereby improving the relative position accuracy between the door liner 220 and the mounting frame 400, as well as the ice maker 300.

[0099] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the first mounting plate 430 may be configured with a positioning protrusion 431 facing away from the first mounting surface 222, and the positioning protrusion 431 is used to position at least part of the ice maker 300. For example, the positioning protrusion 431 can position the ice storage bucket 330 in the ice maker 300. The positioning protrusion 431 may form a first recessed portion 432 on the side of the first mounting plate 430 facing the first mounting surface 222. The bottom of the first recessed portion 432 may be open to form a wiring through hole 420. The mounting frame 400 of the embodiment of the present application can form a wiring through hole 420 by using the positioning protrusion 431 for positioning the ice maker 300, which can minimize the structural changes to the existing mounting frame 400 and reduce the processing difficulty and processing cost of the mounting frame 400.

[0100] The first mounting plate 430 may also be configured with a mounting protrusion 433 facing away from the first mounting surface 222, and the mounting protrusion 433 may be used to mount a portion of the ice maker 300. For example, the mounting protrusion 433 may be used to mount the ice cube assembly 310 in the ice maker 300. The mounting protrusion 433 may form a second recess 434 on one side of the first mounting plate 430 facing the first mounting surface 222. The second wire hole 410 may be disposed in the second recess 434.

[0101] When the mounting bracket 400 is mounted on the door liner 220, a first gap can be formed between the second recessed portion 434 and the first mounting surface 222. The second wire hole 410 is disposed in the second recessed portion 434, so that the second electrical connection line 370 passing through the second wire hole 410 can be located in the first gap, so as to prevent the second electrical connection line 370 from protruding from the first mounting plate 430 as much as possible, which is conducive to ensuring the relative position accuracy between the first mounting plate 430 and the first mounting surface 222. In addition, the mounting bracket 400 of the embodiment of the present application can use the mounting protrusion 433 for mounting the ice maker 300 to form a first gap for routing the second electrical connection line 370, without providing an additional routing space for the second electrical connection line 370, thereby simplifying the structure of the mounting bracket 400.

[0102] Part of the edge of the first mounting plate 430 may be configured with a fixing protrusion 435 facing away from the first mounting surface 222, and the fixing protrusion 435 is used to install part of the ice maker 300. For example, the fixing protrusion 435 can be used to connect the ice-making housing 360. The fixing protrusion 435 may form a third recessed portion 436 on the side of the first mounting plate 430 facing the first mounting surface 222, and the third recessed portion 436 may communicate with the first recessed portion 432 and the second recessed portion 434. For example, a first connecting through hole 437 may be provided on the side wall of the first recessed portion 432, and the first recessed portion 432 and the third recessed portion 436 may be connected through the first connecting through hole 437. The second recessed portion 434 may be directly connected to the third recessed portion 436. The second electrical connection line 370 may be sequentially accommodated in the second recessed portion 434, the third recessed portion 436 and the first recessed portion 432.

[0103] When the mounting frame 400 is mounted on the door liner 220, a second gap can be formed between the third recessed portion 436 and the first mounting surface 222. Since the third recessed portion 436 is connected to the first recessed portion 432 and the second recessed portion 434, the second gap can be connected to the first gap and the first recessed portion 432. The second electrical connection line 370 can pass through the first gap and the second gap in sequence and enter the first recessed portion 432 to prevent the second electrical connection line 370 from protruding from the first mounting plate 430 as much as possible, which is conducive to ensuring the relative position accuracy between the first mounting plate 430 and the first mounting surface 222. In addition, the mounting frame 400 of the embodiment of the present application can use the fixed protrusion 435 for fixing the ice maker 300 to form a second gap for the second electrical connection line 370 to be routed, without providing an additional routing space for the second electrical connection line 370, thereby simplifying the structure of the mounting frame 400.

[0104] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, a horizontally extending wiring board 450 may be provided on the side of the second recessed portion 434 opposite to the first mounting surface 222, and a limiting protrusion 451 may be provided on the side of the wiring board 450 facing the first mounting surface 222, and the limiting protrusion 451 and the side of the wiring board 450 and the second recessed portion 434 form a receiving space with an opening. The second electrical connection line 370 may be clamped in the receiving space via the opening. The wiring board 450 can guide the routing direction of the second electrical connection line 370, and the limiting protrusion 451 can constrain the second electrical connection line 370 to prevent the position of the second electrical connection line 370 from changing as much as possible, which is conducive to ensuring the connection reliability between the second electrical connection line 370 and the first electrical connection line 230, as well as the power supply system or control system.

[0105] like Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application may further include an end cover 500, which may be disposed on the wiring through hole 420 from the side of the mounting frame 400 facing away from the door liner 220. The end cover 500 may shield the wiring through hole 420, and the first connection end 231 and the second connection end 371 exposed by the wiring through hole 420, thereby improving the structural integrity and aesthetics of the mounting frame 400.

[0106] For example, reference Fig.11 and Fig.12 The end cover 500 may include a cover plate 510 and a positioning plate 520. The cover plate 510 may be perpendicular to the extension direction of the wiring through hole 420 and located in the wiring through hole 420, so as to shield the wiring through hole 420 without protruding from the mounting frame 400, thereby minimizing the influence of the cover plate 510 on the relative position between the mounting frame 400 and the ice maker 300. The positioning plate 520 may be perpendicular to the cover plate 510, the positioning plate 520 may surround the cover plate 510, and be connected to the edge of the cover plate 510, and the positioning plate 520 may be inserted into the wiring through hole 420. The hole wall of the wiring through hole 420 may position the positioning plate 520, so that the cover plate 510 can be more easily placed in the wiring through hole 420, thereby improving the convenience of assembling the end cover 500.

[0107] like Fig.10 As shown, the hole wall of the wiring through hole 420 may be provided with a first positioning protrusion 421, and the first positioning protrusion 421 may surround the wiring through hole 420. Fig.11 As shown, the edge of the cover plate 510 may be provided with a second positioning protrusion 511, and the second positioning protrusion 511 abuts against the first positioning protrusion 421. By providing the abutting first positioning protrusion 421 and the second positioning protrusion 511 between the wiring through hole 420 and the cover plate 510, the cover plate 510 can be positioned in the extending direction of the wiring through hole 420, thereby improving the relative position accuracy between the cover plate 510 and the wiring through hole 420.

[0108] The positioning plate 520 may be provided with a second connection through hole 521 , which may be opposite to the first connection through hole 437 , so that the second electrical connection line 370 may enter the first recess 432 via the opposite first connection through hole 437 and the second connection through hole 521 .

[0109] The hole wall of the wiring through hole 420 may also be provided with a fixing protrusion 422. The positioning plate 520 may be provided with a fixing recessed portion 522 recessed toward the inside thereof, and the fixing recessed portion 522 may be sleeved on the fixing protrusion 422. The fixing protrusion 422 located in the fixing recessed portion 522 may be connected to the cover plate 510. The fixing protrusion 422 may not only position the positioning plate 520 through the fixing recessed portion 522, but also be connected to the cover plate 510, thereby fixing the cover plate 510.

[0110] Exemplarily, the cover plate 510 may be provided with a gripping portion 512 , and the gripping portion 512 is used for being gripped by an assembler, thereby improving the convenience when disassembling and assembling the end cover 500 .
