Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, and particularly relates to a frame and a refrigeration equipment. Background Art

[0002] A refrigerator is a common household appliance in people's lives, mainly used for storing food or other items by maintaining a constant low temperature. With the development of intelligence, refrigerators are rapidly entering the touch screen era. For example, a display and control module with an interactive interface is usually provided on the door body of the refrigerator, and users can operate the display and control module to achieve many functions such as temperature and humidity regulation inside the refrigerator, recipe display, and child lock. Generally, the door body of the refrigerator includes a frame and a door panel, and the display and control module can be installed between the frame and the door panel.

[0003] However, in the related art, in order to adapt to the installation of the display and control module, some dimensions of the frame are relatively narrow, making it easy to have a flash gap between the frame and the door panel, resulting in poor door body quality and reduced yield rate, thereby reducing the product quality of the refrigerator and affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a frame and a refrigeration equipment, which can form a narrow frame structure and avoid flash gaps, thereby improving product quality and enhancing the user experience.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this application is as follows:

[0006] According to the first aspect disclosed in this application, a frame is provided, including a carrier and a connecting piece. The carrier has a connecting portion and a cooperating portion disposed opposite and spaced apart from the connecting portion. The connecting piece is connected to the connecting portion and cooperates with the carrier to form a receiving groove. Wherein, at least a part of the cooperating portion is recessed towards the connecting portion to form an avoidance portion communicating with the receiving groove. The carrier has a bearing surface facing away from the receiving groove and an inner surface forming the receiving groove, and at least one recess recessed towards the inner surface is provided on the bearing surface, and the recess is disposed between the avoidance portion and the connecting portion.

[0007] The frame provided by this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0008] When the frame provided by this application is in use, the carrier and the connecting piece can cooperate to form a receiving groove, and the carrier can be used as one of the opposite side walls of the receiving groove. By providing an avoidance portion on the carrier, one side wall of the receiving groove can be made narrower. In this way, when the display and control module is installed in the receiving groove, the display screen of the display and control module can be arranged facing the avoidance portion, so as to form a narrow frame by using the avoidance portion, avoid blocking the display screen of the display and control module, increase the visible area and the manipulable area of the display screen, and improve the aesthetic appearance after assembly.

[0009] Meanwhile, when the device housing is installed on the bearing surface of the frame, by providing a recess on the bearing surface that is recessed into the receiving groove, the connection area between the bearing surface of the narrow frame part and the device housing can be increased, thereby improving the connection effect between the device housing and the frame and preventing a flash gap from occurring between the device housing and the frame.

[0010] Thus, the frame provided in the present application can both form a narrow frame structure to increase the visualization area, the manipulable area, and the aesthetic appearance. The frame provided in the present application can also prevent a flash gap from occurring, thereby improving the product quality and enhancing the user experience.

[0011] According to a second aspect disclosed in the present application, a refrigeration device is provided, including a door body and the above-mentioned frame. The door body includes a door panel and a display control module. The door panel is fixedly provided on the bearing surface of the bearing member, and the display control module is installed in the receiving groove.

[0012] By applying the above-mentioned frame, the refrigeration device provided in the present application can achieve a narrow frame structure for the door body of the refrigeration device, ensure the aesthetics of the assembly of the frame and the display control module, improve the assembly and fixing effect between the frame and the door panel, prevent a flash gap, thereby improving the product quality of the refrigeration device and enhancing the user experience.

[0013] In addition, it should be noted that the frame provided in the present application is not limited to being used in refrigeration devices such as refrigerators, freezers, or air conditioners. It can also be applied to any device that requires a narrow frame and needs to prevent a flash gap from occurring, such as but not limited to mobile electronic devices, household appliances, or sports equipment. The present application does not make any restrictions in this regard. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation manners

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the present application. It should be understood that the drawings in the present application are only for illustrative purposes, and for those skilled in the art, the omission of some well - known structures and their descriptions in the drawings can be understood. At the same time, in the description of the present application, if there are descriptions of terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right" indicating orientation or position relationship, it is only based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Correspondingly, in the description of the present application, there are descriptions involving "first", "second" and the like. Such descriptions are only used to distinguish different components, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance, any order or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features.

[0026] Refrigerators are common household appliances in people's lives, mainly used to store food or other items by maintaining a constant low - temperature cold state. With the development of intelligence, refrigerators are rapidly entering the touch - screen era. For example, a display and control module with an interactive interface is usually provided on the door body of a refrigerator, and users can operate the display and control module to achieve many functions such as temperature and humidity regulation inside the refrigerator, recipe display, and child lock. Generally, the door body of a refrigerator includes a frame and a door panel, and the display and control module can be installed between the frame and the door panel.

[0027] In the related art, in order to increase the operable area and visual aesthetics of the display and control module on the refrigerator door body, the dimensions of the part of the frame used for cooperating with the installation of the display and control module are usually set to be relatively narrow. However, when the dimensions of some parts of the frame become narrow, the assembly area between the frame and the door panel will be reduced, which easily leads to poor connection between the frame and the door panel and the appearance of flash seams, resulting in poor quality of the door body and a decrease in the yield rate. Furthermore, the product quality of refrigeration equipment such as refrigerators or freezers to which the door body is applied is reduced, affecting the user experience.

[0028] Accordingly, the present application provides a frame 1 that can form a narrow frame 1 structure and avoid flash seams. In addition, it should be noted that the frame 1 provided by the present application is not limited to being used in refrigeration equipment 100 such as refrigerators, freezers, or air conditioners, but can also be applicable to any equipment where users have a need for a narrow frame 1 and need to avoid the occurrence of flash seams. The present application makes no limitation in this regard.

[0029] The frame 1 provided by the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a frame 1, including a carrier 10 and a connecting member 20. The carrier 10 has a connecting portion 11 and a mating portion 12 that is spaced apart from the connecting portion 11. The connecting member 20 is connected to the connecting portion 11 and cooperates with the carrier 10 to form a receiving groove 30. Wherein, at least a part of the mating portion 12 is recessed towards the connecting portion 11 to form an avoidance portion 121 communicating with the receiving groove 30. The carrier 10 has a bearing surface 13 facing away from the receiving groove 30 and an inner surface 14 forming the receiving groove 30. At least one recess 40 recessed towards the inner surface 14 is provided on the bearing surface 13, and the recess 40 is provided between the avoidance portion 121 and the connecting portion 11.

[0031] It should be noted that when the carrier 10 and the connecting member 20 cooperate to form the receiving groove 30, at least a part of the carrier 10 can form one of the opposite side walls of the receiving groove 30. By providing the avoidance portion 121 on the carrier 10, the size of a part of the carrier 10 can be reduced, which is equivalent to narrowing one side wall of the receiving groove 30 by using the avoidance portion 121 to increase the opening area of the receiving groove 30. In this way, when assembling the frame 1 and the display control module 130, the display control module 130 can be installed in the receiving groove 30, and the display screen of the display control module 130 can be installed facing the side wall of the receiving groove 30 formed by the carrier 10, so as to display the display screen of the display control module 130 through the avoidance portion 121. Furthermore, the narrow frame 1 formed by the avoidance portion 121 can prevent the carrier 10 from blocking the display screen of the display control module 130, so as to increase the visible area and the controllable area of the display screen and improve the appearance aesthetic feeling after assembly.

[0032] Meanwhile, the carrier 10 has an inner surface 14 forming the receiving groove 30 and an outer surface facing away from the receiving groove 30. When assembling the frame 1 and the device housing, for the convenience of installing the device housing, the device housing can be fixed to the outer surface of the carrier 10 to protect the display and control module 130 in the receiving groove 30. Therefore, a bearing surface 13 can be formed on the outer surface of the carrier 10. Since a part of the carrier 10 where the avoidance portion 121 is provided has a relatively narrow dimension, the area of the bearing surface 13 is also reduced. After the carrier 10 and the device housing are assembled, there is often a flash gap due to the relatively narrow dimension of this part of the bearing surface 13 between the avoidance portion 121 and the connecting portion 11, resulting in poor connection between the carrier 10 and the device housing. Therefore, the bearing surface 13 is provided with a recess 40 recessed into the receiving groove 30, and at least a part of the recess 40 is located between the avoidance portion 121 and the connecting portion 11, so as to increase the connection area between the bearing surface 13 and the device housing through the recess 40, especially to increase the connection area between this relatively narrow part of the bearing surface 13 between the avoidance portion 121 and the connecting portion 11 and the device housing, thereby improving the connection effect between the device housing and the frame 1 and avoiding the appearance of a flash gap between the device housing and the frame 1.

[0033] Thus, when the frame 1 is in use, it can not only avoid the carrier 10 from blocking the display screen of the display and control module 130 through the narrow frame 1 formed by the avoidance portion 121, so as to increase the visible area and the manipulable area of the display screen and improve the aesthetic appearance after assembly, but also increase the connection area between the frame 1 and the device housing through the recess 40 on the bearing surface 13, so that the device housing and the frame 1 can be closely attached and stably connected, thereby avoiding the appearance of a flash gap between the device housing and the frame 1. The frame 1 provided in this application can form a narrow frame 1 structure and avoid flash gaps, improving the product quality and the user experience.

[0034] In addition, it should be noted that the display and control module 130 can be fixed to either the carrier 10 or the connecting member 20 by various methods such as welding, plugging, or gluing, and this application does not make any restrictions. The display and control module 130 can also not be fixed to the frame 1, but be fixed to the device housing or other external platforms and then placed in the receiving groove 30 for installation. Meanwhile, when the frame 1 is in use, it can also be applicable to the assembly of a device housing without a display and control module 130, that is, the avoidance portion 121 of the frame 1 does not have a display and control module 130 and is used as a visual display area (such as picture display, etc.). In this case, only the frame 1 and the device housing need to be assembled. According to the materials of the device housing and the frame 1, the device housing and the frame 1 can be fixed by various methods such as welding, plugging, or gluing, and this application does not make any restrictions.

[0035] See Figures 3 to 5, as an example, the carrier 10 is set as a bar-shaped member. The carrier 10 has a top end 16 and a bottom end 17 extending in the X direction, and the carrier 10 also has a left side and a right side extending in the Y direction. Among them, the connecting portion 11 can be disposed on the left side of the carrier 10, and the mating portion 12 can be disposed on the right side of the carrier 10. The connecting member 20 is also set as a bar-shaped member, and the bar extension direction of the connecting member 20 is the same as the bar extension direction of the carrier 10. One side of the connecting member 20 is connected to the connecting portion 11, and the connecting member 20 is disposed at a right angle to the carrier 10 to enclose and form a receiving groove 30.

[0036] Among them, when the recess 40 is provided on the bearing surface 13, the recess 40 can be set in any shape such as a circle, a square or a polygon. And a plurality of recesses 40 can be provided, and the recesses 40 can be arranged at intervals in the direction from the top end 16 of the carrier 10 to the bottom end 17 of the carrier 10. For example, the recesses 40 can be arranged at intervals in a straight line or arranged at intervals in a staggered manner, so as to increase the connection area between the device housing and the bearing surface 13 at various positions of the bearing surface 13, and be evenly distributed to improve the connection effect and avoid flash seams. In other embodiments, according to the installation requirements of the device housing, the device housing can also be installed on the inner surface 14 of the carrier 10. Correspondingly, the inner surface 14 of the carrier 10 forms the bearing surface 13, and the recess 40 can be provided on the inner surface 14.

[0037] At the same time, according to the visual size required by the display object such as the display control module 130 and the installation requirements of the position, any part of the mating portion 12 at the top end 16 and the bottom end 17 can be recessed in the Y direction to form an avoidance portion 121. For example, in some embodiments, if the display control module 130 has a large size in the X direction, all parts of the mating portion 12 between the top end 16 and the bottom end 17 can be recessed in the Y direction to form an avoidance portion 121. In other embodiments, if the display control module 130 has a small size in the X direction, only a part of the mating portion 12 between the top end 16 and the bottom end 17 needs to be recessed in the Y direction to form an avoidance portion 121. And the part of the mating portion 12 that is not recessed in the Y direction forms an installation portion 122. Since the installation portion 122 protrudes in the opposite direction of Y relative to the avoidance portion 121, in the Y direction, the size of the bearing surface 13 between the installation portion 122 and the connecting portion 11 is larger than the size of the bearing surface 13 between the avoidance portion 121 and the connecting portion 11. Therefore, when the frame 1 is assembled with the device housing, the frame 1 can not only increase the connection area between the relatively narrow bearing surface 13 between the avoidance portion 121 and the connecting portion 11 and the device housing member by using the recess 40, but also directly increase the connection area between the carrier 10 and the device housing by using the installation portion 122. Therefore, the carrier 10 can be closely attached and stably connected to the device housing both at the narrow part and the wide part in size, so as to avoid flash seams between the device housing and the frame 1.

[0038] It should be noted that the connection between the installation part 122 and the avoidance part 121 can be in an arc transition. In this way, the relatively wide installation part 122 and the relatively narrow avoidance part 121 can be smoothly connected by using the arc transition part, so as to improve the visual fluency and aesthetics. At the same time, the extrusion force of the device housing on the installation part 122 and the avoidance part 121 can be dispersed through the arc transition part to avoid stress concentration, thereby improving the structural strength of the frame 1. At the same time, when the display and control module 130 is installed in the accommodation groove 30, in order to facilitate the wire connection of the display and control module 130, connection holes 50 for wire connection can be provided on the bearing surface 13 between the installation part 122 and the connection part 11. In addition, in order to adapt to wire connections at different positions, at least part of the installation part 122 is provided with a bearing flange 18 bent towards the accommodation groove 30. Connection pieces 19 extending in different directions can be provided on the bearing flange 18, and corresponding connection holes 50 can be provided on the connection pieces 19. The number, inclination angle of the connection pieces 19 and the number of connection holes 50 in this application are not limited and can be adjusted as needed. Of course, in addition to being used for wire assembly, the connection holes 50 can also be used for the installation of other connecting pieces 20 such as bolts or pins, and this application is not limited.

[0039] See Figure 5 , in some embodiments, in order to improve the visualization effect, the device housing is usually made of a transparent material, including but not limited to glass parts or plastic parts, etc. If the device housing is a glass part (such as the glass plate of the door body 110 of a refrigerator), since glass has a certain brittleness, in order to avoid the glass being broken during processing, the device housing and the frame 1 can be fixed and sealed by an adhesive method at this time, so as to facilitate the connection and fixation of the device housing and the frame 1, and at the same time improve the assembly aesthetics. Thus, the bearing surface 13 can include a glue application surface 131, at least part of the glue application surface 131 is arranged between the avoidance part 121 and the connection part 11, and the recess 40 is arranged on the glue application surface 131, and the glue on the glue application surface 131 flows into the recess 40.

[0040] In this way, a glue-like adhesive that can flow and solidify, such as hot melt glue, can be provided on the glue application surface 131. When the device housing is connected to the frame 1, the device housing presses against the bearing surface 13 to squeeze the glue-like adhesive, and the glue-like adhesive is squeezed and flows and diffuses into the recess 40. When the glue-like adhesive solidifies, the frame 1 and the device housing can be adhesively fixed. Thus, the recess 40 on the bearing surface 13 can increase the glue application area, thereby increasing the connection area between the frame 1 and the device housing, so as to improve the connection effect between the frame 1 and the device housing and avoid flash seams. At the same time, when the glue-like adhesive flows, the glue-like adhesive flows towards the recess 40, and it can also avoid the glue-like adhesive overflowing between the frame 1 and the device housing after being squeezed, reducing the glue overflow phenomenon.

[0041] See Figure 5, in some embodiments, to avoid glue overflow, the bearing surface 13 includes a limiting surface 15, and the limiting surface 15 is disposed between the glue application surface 131 and the connecting portion 11. In the direction from the inner surface 14 to the bearing surface 13, the limiting surface 15 is disposed higher than the glue application surface 131.

[0042] With such a setting, the hot melt adhesive on the glue application surface 131 will preferentially flow towards the recess 40 on the lower side, so as to improve the bonding effect between the frame 1 and the device housing. At the same time, when the device housing is connected to the bearing surface 13 of the frame 1, the extruded hot melt adhesive is blocked by the limiting surface 15 on the higher side and will not overflow from between the frame 1 and the device housing. Thus, it can not only enable the hot melt adhesive to flow into the recess 40 to avoid waste of the hot melt adhesive, but also prevent the hot melt adhesive from overflowing and ensure the aesthetic appearance. It should be noted that the height difference between the limiting surface 15 and the glue application surface 131 can be connected by an arc surface.

[0043] In other embodiments, to avoid glue overflow, the glue application surface 131 can also be set as an inclined surface, that is, in the direction from the inner surface 14 to the bearing surface 13, the side of the glue application surface 131 close to the connecting portion 11 is higher than the side of the glue application surface 131 close to the avoidance portion 121. This can also make the hot melt adhesive flow towards the recess 40 and avoid the hot melt adhesive from overflowing.

[0044] It should be noted that the glue application surface 131 on the bearing surface 13 can be distributed not only between the avoidance portion 121 and the connecting portion 11, but also between the installation portion 122 and the connecting portion 11, and the present application does not make any restrictions. Correspondingly, the recess 40 can be disposed on the glue application surface 131 between the avoidance portion 121 and the connecting portion 11, or can be disposed on the glue application surface 131 between the installation portion 122 and the connecting portion 11 at the same time.

[0045] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in some embodiments, to improve the gluing effect between the frame 1 and the device housing, the recess 40 communicates the glue application surface 131 with the inner surface 14, which is equivalent to the surfaces of the bearing member 10 on both sides inside and outside the receiving groove 30 being communicated. With such a setting, after the device housing is pressed against the bearing surface 13, not only part of the hot melt adhesive on the glue application surface 131 can flow into the recess 40, but the hot melt adhesive flowing into the recess 40 can also penetrate through the recess 40 into the inner surface 14 of the bearing member 10 and flow and spread along the inner surface 14. After the hot melt adhesive is cured, a part of the hot melt adhesive can be fixed on the bearing surface 13, and another part of the hot melt adhesive can be fixed on the inner surface 14, and these two parts of the hot melt adhesive are connected and fixed through the recess 40.

[0046] Among them, the hot melt adhesive coated on the bearing surface 13 can be used to directly bond and fix with the device housing, realizing the connection between the frame 1 and the device housing. The hot melt adhesive flowing into the recess 40 can be used to increase the adhesive area between the bearing surface 13 and the device housing, thereby improving the connection effect between the frame 1 and the device housing and reducing flash seams.

[0047] The hot melt adhesive flowing from the recess 40 to the inner surface 14 can, on the one hand, be used to further increase the adhesive area between the hot melt adhesive and the carrier 10 to improve the connection effect between the frame 1 and the device housing. On the other hand, after the hot melt adhesive flowing from the recess 40 to the inner surface 14 cures, it can also limit the hot melt adhesive on the bearing surface 13 and balance the connection force exerted by the hot melt adhesive between the frame 1 and the device housing to avoid the hot melt adhesive from falling off or breaking. Equivalently, the cured hot melt adhesive passing through the recess 40 is regarded as the connecting member 20. The two ends of this connecting member 20 passing through the recess 40 are respectively fixed to the bearing surface 13 and the inner surface 14 of the carrier 10 to cooperate with each other on the opposite sides of the carrier 10 to form a limit, thereby avoiding the failure after unilateral adhesive falling off or breaking. Thus, by using the recess 40 to connect the adhesive application surface 131 and the inner surface 14 of the carrier 10, the adhesive effect between the frame 1 and the device housing can be improved, and flash seams can be avoided.

[0048] See back Figures 3 to 5 , in some embodiments, to facilitate the processing of the recess 40 at the narrow frame 1 formed in the avoidance portion 121, at least one notch recessed toward the connecting portion 11 is provided in the avoidance portion 121, and the notch forms the recess 40.

[0049] With such a setting, the notch can be directly formed at the edge of the avoidance portion 121 to form the recess 40, with a large processing space and convenient operation. As an example, the space on the right side of the avoidance portion 121 is large. During processing, cutting can be performed from the right side of the avoidance portion 121 to the left side provided with the connecting portion 11 (as shown by the Y direction in the figure), and the required recess 40 can be formed by using the processed notch.

[0050] In addition, when there are multiple notches, the notches can be arranged at intervals along the direction from the bottom end 17 to the top end 16 of the carrier 10 (as shown by the X direction in the figure), which is equivalent to forming a serrated cut at the edge of the avoidance portion 121. See Figure 6 and Figure 7, when the hot melt adhesive on the glue - applying surface 131 flows from the bearing surface 13 to the inner surface 14, the hot melt adhesive can flow and spread along the path of the serrated incision, forming multiple hot melt adhesive branches, so that the solidified hot melt adhesive forms a claw - like shape, which can be held on the edge side of the bearing member 10 provided with the avoidance portion 121, thereby improving the bonding effect between the frame 1 and the device housing and avoiding flash seams. Moreover, the shape and position of the notch on the avoidance portion 121 can be flexibly adjusted, and the claw - like structure formed by the hot melt adhesive is also very flexible. After bonding the frame 1 and the device housing with the claw - like hot melt adhesive, it can also effectively reduce the number of adhesive tapes wound to prevent flash seams in the related art. Therefore, the present application can improve the gluing effect between the frame 1 and the device housing in a time - saving and labor - saving manner.

[0051] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the shape of the notch. The notch can be various shapes such as a square notch, an arc - shaped notch or a semi - circular notch, as long as it is convenient for processing and can meet the requirement that the hot melt adhesive flows to the opposite two sides of the accommodating groove 30 on the bearing member 10. At the same time, for the length of the recess 40 extending in the X direction and the distance between two adjacent recesses 40, they can be adjusted according to actual usage requirements, and the present application does not make any restrictions.

[0052] See Figure 5 , in some embodiments, to avoid the fracture of the hot melt adhesive on the glue - applying surface 131, in the direction from the mating portion 12 to the connecting portion 11, the extension length of the glue - applying surface 131 is a, and the depth of the recess 40 is b.

[0053] With such a setting, in the direction from the mating portion 12 to the connecting portion 11, the depth of the recess 40 does not exceed the mid - line part of the glue - applying surface 131. When the hot melt adhesive on the glue - applying surface 131 flows, at least part of the hot melt adhesive can remain on the side of the bearing surface 13, and the hot melt adhesive on the glue - applying surface 131 is prevented from flowing entirely to the side of the inner surface 14 due to external force factors such as gravity, thereby avoiding the root - breaking of the hot melt adhesive on the side of the bearing surface 13 and reducing the fracture of the hot melt adhesive.

[0054] As an example, the dimension of the frame 1 in the Y direction is set to 10 mm. The dimension of the frame 1 in the X direction is set to 240 mm. In the X direction, a recess 40 can be added every 20 mm to 30 mm. Among them, the dimension of the recess 40 in the Y direction can be set between 1 mm and 5 mm to prevent the hot melt adhesive on the glue - applying surface 131 from flowing entirely into the inner surface 14. At the same time, the dimension of the recess 40 in the X direction can be set to 10 mm. If a recess 40 is set every 25 mm in the X direction of the frame 1, then 7 recesses 40 can be set.

[0055] Of course, in other embodiments, at least one through hole (not shown in the drawings) penetrating the inner surface 14 may be provided on the glue - applying surface 131, and the through hole forms a recess 40. When there are multiple through holes, the through holes may be arranged at intervals in the X - direction, and the through holes may be provided at the mid - line position of the glue - applying surface 131 in the Y - direction. At the same time, to prevent the hot - melt adhesive from breaking off at the root, in the Y - direction, the aperture of the through hole is smaller than the distance between the avoiding portion 121 and the connecting portion 11. The through hole may be set in various shapes such as a square hole, a circular hole, or an elliptical hole, etc., and the present application does not limit it, that is, any hollow structure communicating with the inner surface 14 may be provided on the glue - applying surface 131.

[0056] See Figures 6 to 8 , in some embodiments, to increase the connecting surface of the receiving groove 30, in the direction from the bearing surface 13 pointing to the inner surface 14, a part of the connecting member 20 overlaps with the bearing member 10 to form the receiving groove 30.

[0057] With such a setting, the receiving groove 30 of the frame 1 can form a U - shaped groove. Among them, the bearing member 10 can serve as one side wall of the receiving groove 30, and the connecting member 20 can form the bottom wall of the receiving groove 30 and the other side wall opposite to the bearing member 10.

[0058] Specifically, the part of the connecting member 20 forming the bottom wall of the receiving groove 30 can serve as a flat decorative surface to improve the appearance beauty of the frame 1. That is, after the frame 1 is assembled with the device housing, the internal structure of the receiving groove 30 can be shielded by the decorative surface of the connecting member 20 to improve the appearance neatness. For example, when the frame 1 is assembled with the door panel 111 of the refrigerator, the decorative surface of the connecting member 20 can serve as the side wall of the door to ensure the appearance beauty of the door.

[0059] The part of the connecting member 20 forming the other side wall of the receiving groove 30 can be used to connect the display and control module 130 or other connecting surfaces, so as to provide more connecting area for the frame 1 and facilitate the assembly of the frame 1 with other connecting devices or connecting structures. As an example, when the frame 1 is assembled with the door panel 111 of the refrigerator, the connecting hole 50 may be provided in the part of the connecting member 20 used to overlap with the bearing member 10 for the wire connection of the display and control module 130. In this way, the wires of the display and control module 130 can be connected from the back of the door, avoiding being led out from the front of the door, thereby improving the appearance neatness and hiding the wiring. Of course, in some other embodiments, the connecting member 20 may also be provided with a connecting flange 21 bent towards the inside of the receiving groove 30 to improve the structural strength of the connecting member 20 and also for the connecting member 20 to cooperate with other structures for installation, and the present application does not limit it.

[0060] In addition, it should be noted that the carrier 10 and the connecting member 20 of the frame 1 can be set as an integrally formed integral structure, or the carrier 10 and the connecting member 20 can also be set as a split assembly structure, and then fixed to form the frame 1 in various ways such as welding, plugging or gluing. The frame 1 formed by the carrier 10 and the connecting member 20 can be in the shape of a strip frame, a semi-enclosed frame or an annular frame, etc., and the present application does not make any restrictions. Correspondingly, the carrier 10 can also be in various shapes such as a strip shape or an arc shape, the connecting member 20 can be in various shapes such as a strip shape or an arc shape, and the receiving groove 30 can be in various shapes such as a V-shaped groove, a right-angle groove or a U-shaped groove, etc., and the present application does not make any restrictions.

[0061] The above-mentioned frame 1 can be applied to any device that requires a narrow frame 1 and avoids flash seams, and the present application does not make any restrictions. Hereinafter, the present application will take the refrigeration device 100 applying the above-mentioned frame 1 as an example for illustration.

[0062] See Figure 9 , the present application provides a refrigeration device 100, including a door body 110 and the above-mentioned frame 1. The door body 110 includes a door panel 111 and a display and control module 130. The door panel 111 is fixedly arranged on the bearing surface 13 of the carrier 10, and the display and control module 130 is installed in the receiving groove 30.

[0063] It should be noted that the refrigeration device 100 can be a refrigerator. The refrigerator has a box body 120 and a door body 110. The box body 120 can form a storage space with various functions such as a refrigerating chamber, a freezing chamber or a variable-temperature chamber. The door body 110 is connected to the box body 120 to open and close each storage space of the refrigerator. Among them, the door body 110 can include a door frame, a glass door panel 111 and a display and control module 130. The above-mentioned frame 1 can be used as the door frame of the door body 110, and the glass door panel 111 can be regarded as the device housing. Specifically, the door frame includes a top, a bottom, and each side between the top and the bottom. According to the shape of the frame 1, the frame 1 can constitute at least one of the top, the bottom and the side of the door frame, and the present application does not make any restrictions. Hereinafter, an example will be given in which the frame 1 forms the side of the door frame.

[0064] As an example, the frame 1 is in the shape of a strip extending in the X direction to form the left side of the door frame. One side wall of the receiving groove 30 in the frame 1 that fits with the glass door panel 111 forms a carrier 10, and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 30 and the other side wall opposite to the glass door panel 111 can form a connecting member 20. Among them, the bottom wall of the receiving groove 30 is perpendicular to the installation of the glass door panel 111. The display and control module 130 on the door body 110 is installed in the receiving groove 30, and the display and control module 130 is located at the position where the frame 1 is provided with an avoidance portion 121 to avoid blocking the display screen of the display and control module 130. The glass door panel 111 and the carrier 10 can be fixed by gluing. Among them, the hot melt adhesive on the bearing surface 13 can be extruded and flowed to the inner surface 14 of the carrier 10 to improve the bonding effect between the glass door panel 111 and the frame 1 and avoid flash seams. In this way, the display and control module 130 in the avoidance portion 121 can be visualized through the glass door panel 111 to increase the visible area and the operable area of the display and control module 130 for users.

[0065] In addition, the frame 1 can be applied to a single-door refrigerator or a double-door refrigerator, and this application does not make any restrictions. For other structures of the refrigerator, such as the refrigeration system or the inner liner structure of the refrigerator, etc., this application will not be elaborated.
