Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a refrigerator. Background Art
[0002] All along, in addition to the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber, a refrigerator also has a third chamber for realizing different functions. For example, in refrigerators for the Chinese market, the third chamber is a wide-variable temperature chamber, and in refrigerators for the Japanese market, the third chamber is a fruit and vegetable chamber.
[0003] However, since the functions of the wide-variable temperature chamber and the fruit and vegetable chamber are different, for example, the fruit and vegetable chamber has strict requirements for temperature fluctuations and cannot adjust the temperature by opening and closing a large baffle, otherwise large temperature fluctuations will occur, deteriorating the fresh-keeping effect. Therefore, different baffles are considered. However, in this case, the development cost is high, which is not conducive to the common design. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The utility model is the result of careful research in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a refrigerator equipped with a baffle that can be maximally shared according to the requirements of different functional compartments.

[0009] In addition, in the refrigerator according to the above-mentioned present invention, it is also possible that the first air duct is formed in the baffle, and the second air duct is formed in an air duct forming member. The baffle includes a first main body portion formed in a T shape and a connecting portion erected upward from the upper surface of the first main body portion and connected to the air supply duct. In the first main body portion, the first air duct is provided therethrough, and one end of the first air duct constitutes a first air outlet.

[0027] Furthermore, it should be understood that the embodiments described in this specification are only for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the present utility model to these embodiments. On the contrary, as understood by those skilled in the art, the present utility model includes various alternatives, modifications, and equivalents.
[0028] In this specification, it should be understood that terms such as "include", "comprise", "have", etc. mean the presence of the described features, quantities, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof, but do not exclude the presence of one or more other features, quantities, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.
[0029] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing the general structure of the refrigerator according to this embodiment. As Figure 1 shown, the refrigerator 1 according to this embodiment includes a cabinet 10 and a plurality (three in this case) of compartments 11 to 13 that divide the internal space of the cabinet 10. In this embodiment, the compartment 11 is used as a refrigerating compartment, the compartment 12 is used as a freezing compartment, and the compartment 13 is used as a first compartment for description. However, it is not limited thereto. The compartment 11 can also be used as a freezing compartment or a first compartment, the compartment 12 can also be used as a refrigerating compartment or a first compartment, and the compartment 13 can also be used as a refrigerating compartment or a freezing compartment.
[0030] In this embodiment, the refrigerating compartment 11 is located at the uppermost part of the refrigerator, the first compartment 13 is located at the lowermost part of the refrigerator, and the freezing compartment 12 is located between the refrigerating compartment 11 and the first compartment 13. However, it is not limited thereto. The positions of the refrigerating compartment 11, the freezing compartment 12, and the first compartment 13 can also be adjusted arbitrarily as needed.
[0031] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the first form of the combination of the first air duct and the second air duct provided in the refrigerator according to this embodiment. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing the second form of the combination of the first air duct and the second air duct provided in the refrigerator according to this embodiment. As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the refrigerator 1 includes a plurality (two in this case) of air ducts 213, 222 that send cooling gas to the first compartment 13 and have different air outlet areas. Here, the air duct 213 is used as the first air duct, and the air duct 222 is used as the second air duct for description.
[0032] The first air duct 213 is formed in the baffle 21, and the second air duct 222 is formed in the air duct forming member 22. The baffle 21 and the air duct forming member 22 are detachably installed with each other. That is, the first air duct 213 and the second air duct 222 are detachably installed with each other. In addition, the air outlet area of the first air duct 213 is larger than the air outlet area of the second air duct 222.
[0033] In Figure 2In this case, taking the first compartment 13 as an example of a wide-range variable temperature compartment with a temperature variation range of -18°C to 7°C. Since the wide-range variable temperature compartment has less strict requirements for temperature fluctuations, according to the function of the first compartment 13 as a wide-range variable temperature compartment, the first air duct 213 with a larger air outlet area is selected from the first air duct 213 and the second air duct 222 as one of the air ducts for sending cooling gas into the first compartment 13. Specifically, by removing the air duct forming member 22 from the baffle 21, the first air outlet S1 of the first air duct 213 formed on the baffle 21 is exposed to the first compartment 13, and thus the cooling gas is sent into the first compartment 13 via the first air outlet S1.
[0034] In Figure 3 In this case, taking the first compartment 13 as an example of a fruit and vegetable compartment with a temperature variation range of 0 to 12°C. Since the fruit and vegetable compartment has strict requirements for temperature fluctuations, according to the function of the first compartment 13 as a fruit and vegetable compartment, the second air duct 222 with a smaller air outlet area is selected from the first air duct 213 and the second air duct 222 as one of the air ducts for sending cooling gas into the first compartment 13. Specifically, by inserting the baffle 21 into the air duct forming member 22, the first air outlet S1 of the first air duct 213 formed on the baffle 21 is not exposed to the first compartment 13, while the second air outlet S2 of the second air duct 222 formed on the air duct forming member 22 is exposed to the first compartment 13, and thus the cooling gas is sent into the first compartment 13 via the second air outlet S2.
[0035] That is, the present embodiment adopts a design of combining the same baffle and multiple air ducts with different air outlet areas, and according to the function of the first compartment, one of the air ducts for sending cooling gas into the first compartment is selected from the multiple air ducts, so that the baffle can be maximally utilized according to the requirements of different functional compartments, greatly improving the design and R & D speed of the refrigerator and reducing the development cost. Thus, a refrigerator with a baffle that can be maximally utilized according to the requirements of different functional compartments is realized.
[0036] Moreover, in the present embodiment, by providing two types of air ducts, namely the first air duct and the second air duct, and switching between the first air duct and the second air duct, a refrigerator with a baffle that can be maximally utilized according to the requirements of different functional compartments can be reliably realized.
[0037] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, by detachably installing the baffle and the air duct forming member, the selection of the first air duct and the second air duct can be realized through a simple operation of mutual detachment and installation of the baffle and the air duct forming member, and thus a refrigerator with a baffle that can be maximally utilized according to the requirements of different functional compartments can be realized more reliably.
[0038] Hereinafter, the specific structures of the baffle plate and the air passage forming member, and the mounting method of the baffle plate and the air passage forming member will be described.
[0039] Figure 4 It is a perspective view showing a schematic structure of a baffle plate included in the refrigerator according to the present embodiment. Figure 5 2 is a front view showing a general structure of a baffle provided in a refrigerator according to the present embodiment. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the baffle 21 includes a first main body portion 211 formed in a T shape and a connecting portion 212 erected upward from an upper surface 211S of the first main body portion 211 and connected to an air supply duct (not shown). A first duct 213 is provided through the first main body portion 211, and one end of the first duct 213 constitutes a first air outlet S1.
[0040] Figure 6 It is a perspective view showing a schematic structure of an air path forming member included in the refrigerator according to the present embodiment. Figure 7 1 is a plan view showing a schematic structure of an air duct forming member provided in a refrigerator according to the present embodiment. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the air duct forming member 22 includes a second main body 221 with one end open and a hollow interior, and a second air outlet S2 is formed at the other end of the second main body 221. The hollow interior space of the second main body 221 constitutes a second air duct 222.
[0041] The first main body 211 is inserted into the interior of the second main body 221 from one end of the second main body 221 in a detachable manner. Therefore, when it is necessary to supply air to the first compartment 13 with a larger air outlet area, it is only necessary to remove the second main body 221 from the first main body 211 so that the first air outlet S1 is exposed to the first compartment 13. When it is necessary to supply air to the first compartment 13 with a smaller air outlet area, it is only necessary to maintain the state in which the first main body 211 is inserted into the interior of the second main body 221 so that the first air outlet S1 is not exposed to the first compartment 13 and the second air outlet S2 of the air duct forming member 22 is exposed to the first compartment 13. Thus, the selection of the first air duct and the second air duct can be reliably achieved by a simple operation of mutual attachment and detachment of the first main body of the baffle and the second main body of the air duct forming member.
[0042] In this embodiment, the length and width of the first body 211 are preferably the same as the length and width of the space inside the second body 221. In this way, when the first body is inserted into the second body, the outer circumference of the first body and the inner circumference of the second body can be closely attached to prevent leakage of cooling gas.
[0043] According to the present utility model, it is possible to provide a refrigerator having a baffle that can be maximally shared according to the requirements of different functional compartments.
[0044] As described above, the embodiments of the present utility model have been described. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can modify and change the present utility model as needed without departing from the essential spirit and scope of the present utility model. These modifications and changes all fall within the scope of the present utility model.
