[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerators, in particular to a condenser assembly and a refrigerator thereof. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, refrigerators have become an indispensable appliance in people's lives. Refrigerators generally use condensers to cool, and condensers need to be used with condensing fans. The condensing fans blow out gas and pass through the surface of the condenser. The air completes heat exchange and cooling while passing through the condenser.

[0003] The condenser is usually installed in the compressor compartment of the refrigerator and connected to the water tray. The existing condenser is usually installed by welding or connecting with multiple bolt fasteners. When the condenser needs to be replaced and repaired, it is not easy to disassemble and assemble, which can easily cause structural damage. Utility Model Content

Therefore, the condenser is abutted against the bracket in the circumferential direction, and the two sides of the condenser in the axial direction (i.e., the thickness direction) are respectively limited by the limiter and the stopper assembly, so the installation of the condenser is more stable. In addition, since the stopper assembly stops the side of the condenser by bending, the stopper assembly will not interfere with the installation of the condenser.

[0029] The utility model provides a condenser assembly 100, which reduces the connection and fixing parts required for the installation of the condenser 20 while ensuring the stable installation of the condenser 20, thereby reducing the number of assembly operations and parts.

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 4The condenser assembly 100 includes a bracket 10, a condenser 20 and a stopper assembly 30. The bracket 10 has an installation space inside. A stopper 11 is convexly arranged on the inner side wall of the bracket 10 forming the installation space. The condenser 20 is located in the installation space. The outer peripheral side of the condenser 20 abuts against the inner wall of the bracket 10. One side of the condenser 20 in the thickness direction abuts against the stopper 11. The stopper assembly 30 is connected to the outer side wall of the bracket 10. The stopper assembly 30 can be bent relative to the bracket 10 and abuts against the side of the condenser 20 away from the stopper 11 after being bent. In this way, the bracket 10 is used to carry the condenser 20, the stopper 11 abuts against one side of the condenser 20, and the stopper assembly 30 abuts against the other side of the condenser 20. Therefore, the condenser 20 abuts against the bracket 10 in the circumferential direction and is limited. The two sides of the condenser 20 in the axial direction (i.e., in the thickness direction) are respectively limited by the stopper 11 and the stopper assembly 30, so that the installation of the condenser 20 is more stable. In addition, since the stopper assembly 30 stops the side surface of the condenser 20 by being bent, the stopper assembly 30 does not interfere with the installation of the condenser 20 .

[0031] Furthermore, the stopper assembly 30 includes a connection seat 31 and a buckle 32. The connection seat 31 is connected to the outer side wall of the bracket 10. The buckle 32 is connected to the connection seat 31 and can be bent relative to the connection seat 31. In this way, since the buckle 32 needs to be bent, an additional connection seat 31 is provided, and the buckle 32 and the connection seat 31 are processed and formed together and installed on the bracket 10, so that the buckle 32 is more convenient to bend. In addition, the contact area between the connection seat 31 and the outer side wall of the bracket 10 is large, which ensures the connection strength between the stopper assembly 30 and the bracket 10.

[0032] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the buckle 32 may also be directly connected to the bracket 10 without providing the connecting seat 31 , and the buckle 32 may also limit the condenser 20 after being bent.

[0033] Furthermore, the fastening member 32 includes a connecting section 321 and an abutting section 322. One end of the connecting section 321 is connected to the connecting seat 31 and can be bent relative to the connecting seat 31. The other end of the connecting section 321 is connected to the abutting section 322. After being bent, the connecting section 321 is abutted against the side of the connecting seat 31 facing away from the bracket 10. The abutting section 322 is arranged perpendicular to the connecting section 321. In this way, the fastening member 32 is divided into the connecting section 321 and the abutting section 322 which are arranged perpendicularly. The connecting section 321 and the abutting section 322 respectively play different effects. After the buckle 32 completes bending, the connecting section 321 contacts and abuts against the connecting seat 31, so that the buckle 32 cannot continue to bend toward the condenser 20. Since the abutting section 322 is perpendicular to the connecting section 321, when the connecting section 321 abuts against the side of the connecting seat 31 facing away from the bracket 10, it means that the connecting section 321 is parallel to the connecting seat 31. Therefore, the abutting section 322 is also perpendicular to the connecting seat 31, thereby extending along the axial side of the condenser 20 to abut and limit the side of the condenser 20.

[0034] In other embodiments, the connecting section 321 and the abutting section 322 may not be set at an angle, for example, at an acute angle. The abutting section 322 can also form a limited abutment with the side of the condenser 20 and form a certain angle with the side of the condenser 20, and its abutment strength is higher.

[0035] Furthermore, the length of the connecting section 321 is the same as the length of the connecting seat 31 in the axial direction of the bracket 10. Therefore, after the stopper assembly 30 is bent, the length of the connecting section 321 and the connecting seat 31 in the axial direction of the bracket 10 is the same, so the connecting section 321 and the connecting seat 31 are arranged flush in the axial direction, so that the abutting section 322 is connected to the connecting section 321 and abuts against the end surface of the connecting seat 31 at the same time, so as to improve the structural tightness of the stopper assembly 30.

[0036] Preferably, a receiving groove 311 is provided on the connection seat 31, and the connection section 321 is accommodated in the receiving groove 311 after being bent. In this way, the connection section 321 and the connection seat 31 have better combination consistency, and the groove wall of the receiving groove 311 can guide the bending of the connection section 321, and can also prevent the connection section 321 from deflecting and shaking after the bending is completed.

[0037] The connection seat 31 is provided with a connection hole 312, the connection section 321 is provided with a through hole 3211, and the stopper assembly 30 further includes a fastener (not shown in the figure), which is passed through the through hole 3211 and extends into the connection hole 312, and is fixedly connected to the connection section 321 and the connection seat 31. In this way, after the buckle 32 is bent, the fastener can ensure the tightness of the connection between the connection section 321 and the connection seat 31, so as to improve the overall structural strength of the stopper assembly 30.

[0038] In this embodiment, the fastener is a screw. In other embodiments, the fastener may also be a bolt, a rivet, a screw or the like.

[0039] The connection base 31 and the connection section 321 are fastened together using only one fastener, which has a simple structure, few parts, and low cost. Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, if the structural strength of the stopper assembly 30 is to be further improved, the number of fasteners can be further increased.

[0040] The bracket 10 is a rectangular frame structure, and adjacent side walls that are perpendicular to each other form an installation angle, and a limiter 11 is provided in each installation angle; an air guide port 111 is provided on the limiter 11, and the air guide port 111 is provided along the axial direction of the bracket 10. In this way, a limiter 11 is provided in each installation angle, so that the four limiters 11 can provide a stable limiting effect for the condenser 20, so that the stopping effect on each part of the condenser 20 is balanced. In addition, the air guide port 111 is provided on the limiter 11, so that the wind blown by the fan will not be blocked from flowing to the condenser 20.

[0041] The condenser assembly 100 further includes a fan and a fan cover plate. The fan is installed in the installation space and abuts against the side of the stopper 11 facing away from the condenser 20. The fan cover plate is installed in the installation space, connected to the bracket 10, and covers the side of the fan facing away from the condenser 20. In this way, the fan is used to accelerate the air flow in the compressor compartment of the refrigerator, and the cover plate is used to fix the fan.

[0042] The utility model also provides a refrigerator, comprising the above-mentioned condenser assembly 100 and a water receiving tray 40. A press chamber is provided at the bottom of the refrigerator, and the water receiving tray 40 and the refrigerator condensing fan mounting structure are both installed in the press chamber and connected to the chamber bottom of the press chamber.

[0043] The bracket 10 is provided with a first buckle 13 and a second buckle 14 on one side facing the water receiving tray 40. The first buckle 13 and the second buckle 14 are arranged in opposite directions and extend in a direction away from each other. A plurality of clamping posts (not shown in the figure) are convexly provided on the water receiving tray 40. The first buckle 13 and the second buckle 14 are respectively clamped with the clamping posts. In this way, the first buckle 13 and the second buckle 14 are clamped with the clamping posts so that the bracket 10 can be stably connected to the water receiving tray 40. Since the first buckle 13 and the second buckle 14 are arranged in opposite directions, when the bracket 10 is subjected to a force toward the first buckle 13, the second buckle 14 limits the bracket 10 through its clamping effect. When the bracket 10 is subjected to a force toward the second buckle 14, the first buckle 13 limits the bracket 10 through its clamping effect. That is to say, when the bracket 10 is subjected to bias forces in two directions along its axial direction, it can be stabilized in the initial position.

[0044] Furthermore, a mounting seat 15 is provided on one side of the bracket 10 facing the water receiving tray 40, and a mounting column (not shown in the figure) is protruded on one side of the water receiving tray 40 facing the bracket 10, and the mounting seat 15 and the mounting column are fixedly connected by a connecting member. In this way, the fixed connection between the mounting seat 15 and the mounting column further improves the connection strength between the bracket 10 and the water receiving tray 40.

[0045] The water receiving tray 40 is also configured with an abutment plate 43 , which abuts against the axial side surface of the condenser 20 to cooperate with the stopper assembly 30 to limit the condenser 20 .

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the bracket 10 provided by the utility model is used to carry the condenser 20, the limiter 11 abuts against one side of the condenser 20, and the stopper assembly 30 abuts against the other side of the condenser 20. Therefore, the condenser 20 is abutted against the bracket 10 in the circumferential direction, and the two sides of the condenser 20 in the axial direction are respectively limited by the limiter 11 and the stopper assembly 30, so the installation of the condenser 20 is more stable. In addition, since the stopper assembly 30 is bent to stop the side of the condenser 20, the stopper assembly 30 will not interfere with the installation of the condenser 20, and the number of installation connection structures such as fasteners is reduced to simplify the structure and reduce costs.

[0047] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0048] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
