[0030] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] Furthermore, it should be understood that although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements or structures, these described objects should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish these described objects from each other. For example, a first reinforcing rib may be referred to as a second reinforcing rib, and similarly a second reinforcing rib may also be referred to as a first reinforcing rib, without departing from the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] The present application embodiment provides a refrigeration device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a box body, a storage device and a hanging bracket 1, the interior of the box body defines a storage compartment 31, the hanging bracket 1 is accommodated in the storage compartment 31, and the hanging bracket 1 is connected to the box body to divide the storage compartment 31 of the box body, improve storage efficiency, and support the storage device in the storage compartment 31.

[0033] As mentioned in the background art, the existing suspension bracket 1 is installed by means of double-row screws, and the assembly and disassembly process is cumbersome. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the suspension bracket 1 is connected to the box body through two rows of hook structures 2. Therefore, through the design of the connection structure between the suspension bracket 1 and the box body, the user only needs to match the suspension bracket 1 and the box body with each other through the hook structure 2 to complete the installation of the suspension bracket 1. No complicated tools or professional skills are required, thereby improving the convenience of installation of the suspension bracket 1.

[0034] Specifically, the suspension bracket 1 is installed in the box along the horizontal front-to-back direction, and the two rows of hook structures 2 are arranged on the suspension bracket 1 parallel to the horizontal front-to-back direction, and a certain distance is left between the two rows of hook structures 2.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the hook structure 2 includes a hook 21 and a notch 22 matched with the hook 21, one of the hook 21 and the notch 22 is fixed on the hanging bracket 1, and the other is fixed on the box. In this embodiment, the hook 21 is fixed on the hanging bracket 1, and the notch 22 is opened on the box. In other embodiments, the hook 21 is fixed on the box, and the notch 22 is opened on the hanging bracket 1.

[0036] The box body includes a box shell, an inner liner 3 nested in the box shell, and a heat-insulating material filled between the box shell and the inner liner 3 by, for example, foaming, and a storage compartment 31 is limited to the inner liner 3. The inner liner 3 is provided with an embedded box 4, which is fitted with the outer wall of the inner liner 3, and a notch 22 is opened on the end surface of the embedded box 4 facing the inner liner 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the inner liner 3 is provided with an opening 32 communicating with the storage compartment 31. When the embedded box 4 is fitted with the inner liner 3, the opening 32 is communicated with the slot 22. Preferably, the opening 32 is communicated with the slot 22 in a one-to-one correspondence, that is, one hook 21 passes through one opening 32 and is connected with one slot 22. For example, the hook 21 passes through the opening 32 and then is hooked on the inner groove wall of the slot 22, or the hook passes through the opening 32 and then is slidably engaged with the inner groove wall of the slot 22.

[0038] In a variation embodiment, the number of the openings 32 may not correspond one-to-one to the number of the slots 22. For example, multiple slots 22 may share the same opening 32. More specifically, for example, there is a row of openings 32 along the horizontal front-to-back direction, that is, there is an opening 32 along the horizontal left-to-right direction for two hooks 21 to pass through. In the two rows of hook structures 2, two adjacent hooks 21 along the horizontal left-to-right direction pass through an opening 32 and are respectively connected to a slot 22.

[0039] In addition, as mentioned above, in this embodiment, the notch 22 is provided on the embedded box 4, while in other variant embodiments, the embedded box 4 may be omitted and the notch 22 may be provided directly on the inner liner 3, or the embedded box 4 may be replaced by a reinforcing member such as reinforcing iron and the notch 22 may be provided on the reinforcing member. From another perspective, in this embodiment and the variant embodiments described above, the positions of the notch 22 and the hook 21 are interchangeable, that is, the notch 22 is provided on the hanging bracket 1, and the hook 21 is fixedly provided on the embedded box 4 (or the inner liner, or the reinforcing member) of the box body.

[0040] The slot 22 has a cavity for accommodating the hook, and a limiting plate is fixed at the entrance of the slot 22. The limiting plate partially closes the entrance of the slot 22, and the unclosed entrance allows the hook 21 to extend into the cavity of the slot 22. In this embodiment, the hook 21 includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion is fixed to the suspension bracket 1, and the second connecting portion is fixed to an end of the first connecting portion away from the suspension bracket 1. The second connecting portion is arranged parallel to the end surface of the suspension bracket 1, and a spacing is left between the second connecting portion and the suspension bracket 1 for the limiting plate to engage. The hook 21 enters the cavity of the slot 22 from the entrance of the slot 22, that is, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion both enter the cavity, and the suspension bracket 1 drives the hook 21 to move toward the limiting plate. The limiting plate is stuck between the second connecting portion and the suspension bracket 1, and the limiting plate plays a role in supporting the hook 21.

[0041] In this embodiment, the embedded box 4 is connected to the inner liner 3 by a key, so that the embedded box 4 can be initially positioned relative to the inner liner 3, that is, the slot 22 of the embedded box 4 can be accurately connected with the opening 32, reducing the risk of misalignment between the slot 22 and the opening 32. In other variant embodiments, the embedded box 4 is connected to the inner liner 3 by an expansion sleeve.

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the embedded box 4 includes an upper support plate 41, a lower support plate 42 and a connecting portion 43. The upper support plate 41 and the lower support plate 42 are arranged relatively spaced apart. The connecting portion 43 fixedly connects the upper support plate 41 and the lower support plate 42, and a foaming material accommodating cavity 44 is formed between the upper support plate 41 and the lower support plate 42. The lower support plate 42 is attached to the outer side of the top wall of the inner liner 3. In this embodiment, the notch 22 is opened in the lower support plate 42, that is, the hook 21 on the suspension bracket 1 passes through the opening 32 and is installed in cooperation with the notch 22 of the support plate 42.

[0043] In this embodiment, the section of the embedded box 4 perpendicular to the horizontal front-to-back direction is an I-shaped structure, that is, the upper support plate 41 and the lower support plate 42 are arranged in parallel, and the connecting portion 43 is fixed between the upper support plate 41 and the lower support plate 42, and the upper support plate 41, the lower support plate 42 and the connecting portion 43 constitute an I-shaped section. A foam material receiving cavity 44 is formed on both sides of the connecting portion 43, so that the foam material can be fully filled and solidified in the foam material receiving cavity 44; in other variant embodiments, the upper support plate 41, the connecting portion 43 and the lower support plate 42 constitute a U-shaped structure in section, and the upper support plate 41, the connecting portion 43 and the lower support plate 42 constitute a single foam material receiving cavity 44. The foam material is filled in the foam material receiving cavity 44, which improves the connection strength between the embedded box 4 and the suspension bracket 1.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, in the present embodiment, a limiting structure 5 is provided between the hanging bracket 1 and the box body, and the limiting structure 5 includes a snap-fitting part 51 and a limiting part 52 which cooperate with each other, one of the snap-fitting part 51 and the limiting part 52 is fixedly provided on the hanging bracket 1, and the other one is fixedly provided on the box body; in the present embodiment, the snap-fitting part 51 is fixedly provided on the hanging bracket 1, and the limiting part 52 is fixedly provided on the inner liner 3, and in other embodiments, the limiting part 52 is fixedly provided on the hanging bracket 1, and the snap-fitting part 51 is fixedly provided on the inner liner 3.

[0045] Specifically, the limiting member 52 includes two wall panels 521 arranged opposite to each other in the horizontal left-right direction and a support portion 522 arranged between the two wall panels 521. The two wall panels 521 and the support portion 522 are fixedly connected to the box body, that is, the bottom of the engaging member 51 abuts against the support portion 522, and the left and right sides of the engaging portion fit the two wall panels 521. The two wall panels 521 cooperate with the support portion 522 to limit the movement of the engaging member 51 in the left-right and bottom directions, so that the engaging member 51 is installed from top to bottom in the vertical direction.

[0046] Specifically, the engaging member 51 is a rear end block fixed to the suspension bracket 1. Preferably, the end surface of the engaging member 51 abutting against the wall panel 521 is vertically arranged, and the end surface of the engaging member 51 abutting against the support portion 522 is horizontally arranged. More preferably, the rear end block is a rectangular structure to increase the contact area between the engaging member 51 and the limiting member 52 and improve the connection stability of the suspension bracket 1.

[0047] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the suspension bracket 1 includes a mounting portion 11, a load-bearing frame 12 and a load-bearing portion 13. The mounting portion 11, the load-bearing frame 12 and the load-bearing portion 13 are fixedly connected in sequence along the vertical direction. The hook 21 is fixedly connected to the end surface of the mounting portion 11 away from the load-bearing frame 12. The mounting portion 11 fits the inner tank 3, and the load-bearing portion 13 can bear the storage devices in the refrigeration appliance such as drawers and storage boards. The cross section of the load-bearing frame 12 perpendicular to the vertical direction is wavy. In this embodiment, the wavy cross section is an S-wave.

[0048] like Fig. 9 As shown, the suspension bracket 1 is provided with a positioning hole 14 for fixedly connecting with the inner tank 3. The suspension bracket 1 is fixedly connected with the embedded box 4 by a bolt arranged in the positioning hole 14. In the present embodiment, the positioning hole 14 is provided in the mounting portion 11, and correspondingly, the embedded box is provided with a threaded hole connected with the positioning hole 14.

[0049] like Fig. 9As shown, at least one row of hooks 21 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 23 and a second reinforcing rib 24, and specifically, both rows of hooks 21 are provided with a first reinforcing rib 23 and a second reinforcing rib 24. Preferably, the first reinforcing rib 23 and the second reinforcing rib 24 of one row of hooks 21 are fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the hooks 21 perpendicularly to each other, that is, the first reinforcing rib 23 is arranged along the horizontal left-right direction, and the second reinforcing rib 24 is arranged along the horizontal front-back direction. The first reinforcing rib 23 and the second reinforcing rib 24 of the other row of hooks 21 are fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the hooks 21 in parallel, that is, the first reinforcing rib 23 and the second reinforcing rib 24 are both arranged along the horizontal front-back direction.

[0050] In summary, one embodiment has the following beneficial effects: the hanging bracket 1 is connected to the box body to divide the storage space to enhance the utilization of the storage space, and the hanging bracket 1 is connected to the box body through the hook structure 2, so that the installation process of the hanging bracket 1 becomes simple and intuitive, and the user only needs to align the hook 21 with the notch 22, and then push or snap the hook 21 in to complete the installation, without the need for complex tools or professional skills. This design also allows the hanging bracket 1 to be quickly disassembled and reinstalled, which provides great convenience for users who need to frequently adjust the internal space layout of the refrigerator.
