[0041] Existing refrigerators are usually provided with a push switch on the cabinet. When the cabinet door is in a closed state, the cabinet door contacts the push switch. When the user needs to open the cabinet door, the cabinet door moves toward the push switch by pressing the cabinet door, thereby increasing the pressure value detected by the push switch to control the motor or push rod to open the cabinet door. However, if the push switch is pressed and impacted for a long time, the connection between the push switch and the cabinet may become loose, or the push switch may be damaged, so that the cabinet door cannot contact the push switch, or the push switch cannot detect the pressure value, so that the cabinet door cannot be opened normally.

[0042] In order to solve the above problems, Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the utility model provides a push switch assembly and a refrigerator to improve the reliability of the push switch assembly.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, specifically, the push switch assembly is used to be installed in the box 3, and the push switch assembly includes a bracket 1 and a switch body 2, wherein: the bracket 1 includes a first frame 11 and a second frame 12 that surround an installation space, the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 both include an installation surface for fitting with the box 3, and the first frame 11 or the second frame 12 is provided with a through hole 13 connected to the installation space; the switch body 2 is arranged in the installation space, and the switch body 2 includes a pressing piece 21 that extends out of the installation space from the through hole 13.

[0044] In the push switch assembly provided by the embodiment of the utility model, the push member 21 extends out of the installation space through the through hole 13. When the refrigerator door (not shown) is in a closed state, the door can contact the push member 21. When the user needs to open the door, the door is pressed so that the door moves toward the direction close to the push switch assembly and pushes the push member 21, thereby increasing the pressure value detected by the switch body 2 to control the motor or the push rod to open the door. The switch body 2 is connected to the box 3 through the bracket 1, and the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 can fit with the box 3, so that the contact area between the bracket 1 and the box 3 can be increased, the stability and reliability of the connection between the push switch assembly and the box 3 can be ensured, and the looseness between the push switch assembly and the box 3 can be avoided to affect the pressure value detected by the switch body 2; and the switch body 2 is arranged in the installation space formed by the first frame 11 and the second frame 12, so that the bracket 1 can protect the switch body 2, and avoid the switch body 2 from being directly hit and easily damaged, thereby improving the reliability of the push switch assembly.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the switch body 2 further includes a main body 22, which is accommodated in the installation space, and the pressing member 21 is connected to the main body 22 and extends out of the installation space from the through hole 13. The main body 22 is used to detect the pressure value of the pressing member 21, and is electrically connected to a device such as a motor or a push rod, so as to control the motor or the push rod to open the box door when the main body 22 detects that the pressure value of the pressing member 21 increases.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the switch body 2 is fixed to one of the first frame 11 and the second frame 12, and the through hole 13 is provided in the other of the first frame 11 and the second frame 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the main body 22 of the switch body 2 is fixed to the second frame 12, and the through hole 13 is provided in the first frame 11. Specifically, a fixing column 16 is convexly provided on the second frame 12, and the main body 22 can be fixedly connected to the fixing column 16 by fasteners such as screws and bolts. The number of the fixing columns 16 can be adjusted according to the size and model of the main body 22 to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the switch body 2 and the bracket 1.

[0047] like Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are connected to each other in an L shape. The L-shaped first frame 11 and the second frame 12 can form a triangular installation space, thereby improving the protection effect of the switch body 2, and can also increase the contact area between the switch body 2 and the bracket 1, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the switch body 2 and the bracket 1. Figure 6 to Figure 7 As shown, the box body 3 is provided with a mounting groove 31 having an L-shaped notch, so that the L-shaped first frame body 11 and the second frame body 12 can be adapted to the L-shaped notch of the mounting groove 31, and the bracket 1 and the mounting groove 31 are surrounded to form a receiving space for accommodating the main body 22 to prevent the main body 22 from being exposed. Of course, in other embodiments, the first frame body 11 and the second frame body 12 can also be in other shapes that can be adapted to the notch of the mounting groove 31, and the embodiment of the utility model is not specifically limited here.

[0048] In one embodiment, if Figures 2 to 3 As shown, along the length direction of the bracket 1, i.e., the ±X direction shown in the figure, the first frame body 11 includes first edges 111 located at both ends of the first frame body 11, and the two first edges 111 extend outwardly from the second frame body 12 obliquely. In other words, along the extension direction of the first frame body 11, i.e., the +Y direction shown in the figure, the distance between the two first edges 111 gradually increases. Specifically, the angle between the first edge 111 and the ±Y direction is α, and α is preferably 1° to 3°, wherein the angle α between the two first edges 111 and the ±Y direction may be the same or different.

[0049] Likewise, if Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, along the length direction of the bracket 1, the second frame 12 includes second edges 121 located at both ends of the second frame 12, and the two second edges 121 extend inwardly from the first frame 11. That is, along the extension direction of the first frame 11, that is, the +Z direction shown in the figure, the distance between the two second edges 121 gradually decreases. Specifically, the angle between the second edge 121 and the ±Z direction is β, and β is preferably 1° to 3°, wherein the angle β between the two second edges 121 and the ±Z direction can be the same or different.

[0050] Generally, the bracket 1 is an injection molded part, and the first edge 111 and the second edge 121 are inclined to facilitate demoulding, thereby preventing the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 from being damaged during the demoulding process and affecting the dimensional accuracy of the bracket 1, thereby facilitating the production and assembly of the bracket 1.

[0051] In other embodiments, the two first edges 111 may be configured to extend inwardly from the second frame 12; or, the two second edges 121 may be configured to extend outwardly from the first frame 11. Of course, when the bracket 1 is made of other materials such as metal or is processed by other molding methods, the first edge 111 may also be configured to extend along the +Y direction according to actual needs, and the second edge 121 may also be configured to extend along the +Z direction according to actual needs.

[0052] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the bracket 1 is provided with a reinforcing rib 14. The reinforcing rib 14 can improve the overall strength of the bracket 1 and prevent the bracket 1 from being easily damaged by being pressed and hit for a long time. The reinforcing rib 14 can be provided on both the first frame 11 and the second frame 12, or only on the first frame 11 or only on the second frame 12. In addition, the reinforcing rib 14 is preferably provided on the mounting surface of the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 to avoid the reinforcing rib 14 being exposed and ensure a neat appearance.

[0053] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the bracket 1 has a preset symmetry plane a perpendicular to the length direction of the bracket 1, and the reinforcing ribs 14 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the preset symmetry plane a. The preset symmetry plane a is parallel to the YOZ plane. The reinforcing ribs 14 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the preset symmetry plane a to ensure that the strength of the bracket 1 is symmetrical and uniform, thereby improving the reliability of the bracket 1.

[0054] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the bracket 1 has a preset symmetry plane a perpendicular to the length direction of the bracket 1, and the bracket 1 is provided with at least two assembly holes 15, and the at least two assembly holes 15 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the preset symmetry plane a. The bracket 1 can be fixedly connected to the box body 3 by fasteners such as screws and bolts passing through the assembly holes 15. At least two assembly holes 15 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the preset symmetry plane a can also ensure that the strength of the bracket 1 is symmetrical and uniform, thereby improving the reliability of the bracket 1. At the same time, at least two assembly holes 15 can also ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the bracket 1 and the box body 3. Among them, at least two assembly holes 15 can be set on both the first frame 11 and the second frame 12, or at least two assembly holes 15 can be convexly arranged only on the first frame 11 or only on the second frame 12, as long as the stability and reliability of the connection between the bracket 1 and the box body 3 can be ensured.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bracket 1 has a preset symmetry plane a perpendicular to the length direction of the bracket 1, and the center of the switch body 2 is on the preset symmetry plane a. The center of the bracket 1 and the center of the switch body 2 are both on the preset symmetry plane a, so that the strength of the push switch assembly as a whole can be ensured to be symmetrical and uniform, thereby improving the reliability of the push switch assembly as a whole.

[0056] In one embodiment, when the pressing member 21 is not disposed at the center of the main body 22, the center of the through hole 13 is not on the preset symmetry plane a. That is, when the pressing member 21 is eccentrically disposed, the through hole 13 is also eccentrically disposed on the first frame 11. This ensures that in the assembled state, the center of the switch body 2 can be on the preset symmetry plane a. Of course, in other embodiments, when the pressing member 21 is disposed at the center of the main body 22, the center of the through hole 13 is also on the preset symmetry plane a.

[0057] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model further provides a refrigerator, including a box body 3 and the above-mentioned push switch assembly, wherein: the box body 3 is provided with a mounting groove 31; the switch body 2 is accommodated in the mounting groove 31, and the bracket 1 covers the notch of the mounting groove 31. The main body 22 of the switch body 2 is not exposed to protect the switch body 2 and ensure the neat appearance of the refrigerator. The refrigerator also includes a door (not shown in the figure). When the through hole 13 is provided on the first frame 11, the first frame 11 faces the door, so that the door can contact the pressing member 21 when it is in a closed state. When the user needs to open the door, the door is pressed so that the door moves in a direction close to the push switch assembly and pushes the pressing member 21, thereby increasing the pressure value detected by the switch body 2 to control the motor or the push rod to open the door. Among them, the number of push switch assemblies can be one, two or more, and each door corresponds to one or more push switch assemblies, which can be adjusted according to the size and number of the door of the refrigerator. The embodiment of the utility model does not make specific restrictions here.

[0058] like Figures 5 and 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the length direction of the bracket 1 is the same as the height direction of the box 3, both of which are ±X directions shown in the figure. Of course, in other embodiments, the length direction of the bracket 1 can also be at an angle to the height direction of the box 3, and the installation angle of the push switch assembly can be adjusted according to the size and structure of the box 3, and the embodiment of the utility model does not make specific restrictions here.

[0059] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the box body 3 includes a boss 32 disposed in the mounting groove 31, and the boss 32 includes a support surface that can be fitted with the mounting surface. The boss 32 is used to support the bracket 1 and can increase the contact area between the bracket 1 and the box body 3. The bracket 1 can be fixedly connected to the boss 32 by fasteners such as screws and bolts, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the bracket 1 and the box body 3.

[0060] Specifically, the first frame 11 includes a first mounting surface 112, the second frame 12 includes a second mounting surface 122, and the boss 32 includes a first supporting surface 321 that can be attached to the first mounting surface 112 and a second supporting surface 322 that can be attached to the second mounting surface 122. The first supporting surface 321 can limit the movement of the bracket 1 along the +Z direction, and the second supporting surface 322 can limit the movement of the bracket 1 along the +Y direction, so that the bracket 1 can be limited.

[0061] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the notch of the mounting groove 31 is provided with a step portion 33, and the edge of the bracket 1 is in contact with the step portion 33. The step portion 33 can limit the bracket 1 to prevent the bracket 1 from shifting relative to the mounting groove 31, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the bracket 1 and the box body 3, and also facilitating the assembly of the bracket 1. In addition, the step portion 33 also enables the bracket 1 to be integrally embedded in the mounting groove 31. In the assembled state, the outer surface of the bracket 1 can be flush with the surface of the box body 3, ensuring the neat appearance of the refrigerator.

[0062] like Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are connected to each other in an L shape. Along the height direction of the box body 3, that is, the ±X direction shown in the figure, both ends of the step portion 33 include a first step 331 and a second step 332 connected to each other in an L shape; the two first steps 331 extend outwardly from the second step 332, and the two second steps 332 extend inwardly from the first step 331. In other words, along the +Y direction shown in the figure, the distance between the two first steps 331 gradually increases; along the +Z direction shown in the figure, the distance between the two second steps 332 gradually decreases. Specifically, the angle between the first step 331 and the ±Y direction is α, and the angle between the second step 332 and the ±Z direction is β. In the assembled state, the first edge 111 can be completely fitted with the first step 331, and the second edge 121 can be completely fitted with the second step 332, so that the shape of the step portion 33 is adapted to the shape of the bracket 1, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the bracket 1, and also reducing the gap between the bracket 1 and the notch of the installation groove 31 to ensure a neat appearance. In addition, the first step 331 and the second step 332 can limit the movement of the bracket 1 along the ±X direction, thereby further limiting the position of the bracket 1.

[0063] like Figures 8 to 9As shown, further, the first frame 11 further includes a third edge 113 away from one end of the second frame 12, the second frame 12 further includes a fourth edge 123 away from one end of the first frame 11, and the step portion 33 further includes a third step 333 and a fourth step 334. In the assembled state, the third edge 113 can be completely fitted with the third step 333, and the fourth edge 123 can be completely fitted with the fourth step 334. In addition, the third step 333 can limit the movement of the bracket 1 along the +Y direction, and the fourth step 334 can limit the movement of the bracket 1 along the +Z direction, so that the bracket 1 can be further limited.

[0064] 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.

[0065] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
