[0049] As a part of the box body, in the related art, a sinking groove design needs to be made on the side of the inner container for installing components such as an evaporator and a blower. Based on the existing inner container structure, the side core-pulling of the inner container thermoforming mold cannot be demolded. After the inner container is thermoformed, the side of the inner container needs to be cut off, and then an injection-molded embedded box is spliced with the side of the inner container, and the splicing part is sealed to form a sinking groove for installing components such as an evaporator and a blower. This design scheme not only has a high cost for the injection-molded embedded box, but also the inner container needs to be cut multiple times, and a large amount of sealing operations are required at the splicing part of the inner container and the injection-molded embedded box, having technical drawbacks such as many designed parts, high cost, complex processing procedures, and cumbersome assembly.

[0050] In the related art, the refrigerator body has technical problems of complex structure and difficult forming. The embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator, which can at least solve the technical problem of difficult forming of the refrigerator body to a certain extent.

[0051] The present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0052] The embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator 100. By providing the connecting member 120, the structure of the refrigerator body 110 can be simplified, which is convenient for the forming of the refrigerator body 110.

[0053] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the refrigerator 100 includes a refrigerator body 110, a connecting member 120 and an air duct module 130. The refrigerator body 110 has a receiving cavity 110a. The connecting member 120 is arranged on the side wall of the receiving cavity 110a and forms an installation cavity 120a with the side wall, and the installation cavity 120a communicates with the receiving cavity 110a; the air duct module 130 is arranged in the installation cavity 120a.

[0054] The refrigerator body 110 of the refrigerator 100 may include components such as an inner liner, an outer shell, a door, a compressor, a condenser and an expansion valve. The refrigerator body 110 of the refrigerator 100 cools, so that the temperature in the receiving cavity 110a decreases and remains in a low temperature state. The receiving cavity 110a of the refrigerator body 110 can be used to store items to be cooled, such as meat, vegetables, facial masks, medicines that need to be stored at low temperature, etc. In order to facilitate the storage and access of items, a drawer can be installed in the receiving cavity 110a of the refrigerator 100, and the items to be cooled are stored in the drawer.

[0055] The air duct module 130 may include components such as a fan 131, an evaporator 132, a flow concentrating member 133, etc. When the refrigerator 100 operates, the fan 131 drives the air to flow. The air flows through the evaporator 132, and the refrigerant in the evaporator 132 evaporates to absorb heat to produce cold air. The cold air is input into the receiving cavity 110a, and the gas in the receiving cavity 110a flows back to the cavity where the evaporator 132 is located and is cooled by the evaporator 132, so that the receiving cavity 110a maintains a stable low temperature to store various items and food materials.

[0056] The connecting member 120 is arranged on the side wall of the receiving cavity 110a and encloses an installation cavity 120a with the side wall of the receiving cavity 110a. The receiving cavity 110a and the installation cavity 120a are communicated, so that the gas in the receiving cavity 110a and the installation cavity 120a can circulate. As Figure 2 shown, the left side is the receiving cavity 110a for storing items to be cooled, and the right side is the installation cavity 120a, and the air duct module 130 is located in the installation cavity 120a.

[0057] After the present application is designed in this way, the connecting member 120 can serve as a side wall enclosing the installation cavity 120a, and together with the side wall of the box body 110, they enclose the installation cavity 120a. Then, one side wall of the installation cavity 120a can be designed less on the box body 110, and the structure of the box body 110 is simplified. When machining the box body 110, the side wall at the position where the connecting member 120 is located can be machined less, which facilitates the shaping of the box body 110.

[0058] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the connecting member 120 is disposed at the opening of the receiving cavity 110a.

[0059] The connecting member 120 is disposed at the opening of the receiving cavity 110a, so that the connecting member 120 does not need to extend into the receiving cavity 110a, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the connecting member 120.

[0060] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the box body 110 includes a first inner container 111 and a cover plate 112. The first inner container 111 is provided with an installation groove 111a, and the cover plate 112 and the connecting member 120 respectively cover the installation groove 111a to form the installation cavity 120a.

[0061] Both the cover plate 112 and the connecting member 120 cover the installation groove 111a, so that the cover plate 112, the connecting member 120 and the side wall of the installation groove 111a enclose the installation cavity 120a. In these embodiments, the side wall of the first inner container 111, the connecting member 120 and the cover plate 112 jointly enclose the installation cavity 120a.

[0062] After being designed in this way, the cover plate 112 separates the installation cavity 120a and the receiving cavity 110a. It should be noted that since the air duct module 130 is installed in the installation cavity 120a, the air duct module 130 will send cold air into the receiving cavity 110a, and the hot air in the receiving cavity 110a will also circulate into the installation cavity 120a. Therefore, air intake through holes and return circulation through holes can be provided on the cover plate 112, so that the cold air in the installation cavity 120a can directly enter the receiving cavity 110a through the air intake through holes on the cover plate 112, and the gas in the receiving cavity 110a can enter the installation cavity 120a through the return circulation through holes, which facilitates gas circulation and helps to improve the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerator 100.

[0063] In some embodiments, the installation groove 111a has a first opening 111b and a second opening 111c disposed at an angle, and the cover plate 112 covers the first opening 111b, and the connecting member 120 covers the second opening 111c.

[0064] The angled arrangement can be a right - angle arrangement, an acute - angle arrangement, or an obtuse - angle arrangement. The installation groove 111a has two openings, namely a first opening 111b and a second opening 111c. The first opening 111b and the second opening 111c are arranged at an angle, that is to say, the first opening 111b and the second opening 111c face different sides. The cover plate 112 and the connecting member 120 respectively cover the first opening 111b and the second opening 111c, so that the first opening 111b and the second opening 111c are respectively shielded by the cover plate 112 and the connecting member 120, and the cover plate 112, the connecting member 120 and the side wall of the first inner container 111 enclose a closed installation cavity 120a.

[0065] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cover plate 112 and the side wall of the first inner container 111 enclose a chamber with an opening. The refrigerator 100 may further include a door, and the door can be closed at the opening of the accommodation cavity 110a to shield the opening, so that the accommodation cavity 110a formed by enclosing the cover plate 112, the side wall of the first inner container 111 and the door is a closed chamber. When the door is opened, the accommodation cavity 110a is a chamber with an opening to facilitate people to access items.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first opening 111b is disposed on the side of the installation groove 111a facing the accommodation cavity 110a; the second opening is disposed on the side of the installation groove 111a facing the door of the refrigerator 100.

[0067] As Figure 3 shown, the accommodation cavity 110a is located on the left side of the installation groove 110a. The left side of the installation groove 110a has an opening, and this opening is the first opening 111b. The front side of the installation groove 110a has an opening, and this opening is the second opening 111c. The door of the refrigerator 100 is located on the front side of the first inner container 111.

[0068] As Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments, the connecting member 120 has a first side wall 121 and a second side wall 122 arranged at an angle. The first side wall 121 is configured as the side wall of the installation cavity 120a, and the second side wall 122 is configured as the side wall of the accommodation cavity 110a.

[0069] That is to say, the connecting member 120 has a first side wall 121 and a second side wall 122. Among them, the first side wall 121, the cover plate 112 and the side wall of the first inner container 111 enclose the installation cavity 120a, and the first side wall 121 of the connecting member 120 serves as the side wall of the installation cavity 120a.

[0070] That is to say, the second side wall 122, the cover plate 112 and the side wall of the first inner container 111 enclose to form a receiving cavity 110a, and the second side wall 122 of the connecting member 120 serves as the side wall of the installation cavity 120a.

[0071] After such a design, the connecting member 120 can not only assist the box body 110 to form the installation cavity 120a, but also assist the box body 110 to form the receiving cavity 110a. The structure of the box body 110 can be further simplified, which is more convenient for the processing and forming of the box body 110.

[0072] As Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments, the first side wall 121 and the second side wall 122 of the connecting member 120 are perpendicularly arranged. The first side wall 121 is the rear side wall of the connecting member 120, and the second side wall 122 is the right side wall of the connecting member 120.

[0073] In some embodiments, the cover plate 112 is connected to both the connecting member 120 and the first inner container 111.

[0074] That is to say, the cover plate 112 is not only connected to the connecting member 120, but also connected to the first inner container 111. The cover plate 112 is connected to both the connecting member 120 and the first inner container 111 at the same time, ensuring the stability of the connection of the cover plate 112.

[0075] The connection manner between the cover plate 112 and the connecting member 120, or the connection manner between the cover plate 112 and the first inner container 111, is diverse, such as snap connection, screw connection, bonding, and so on.

[0076] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the cover plate 112 is located on the side of the connecting member 120 close to the installation cavity 120a; a first cover plate snap - connection portion 1121 is provided on the side of the cover plate 112 close to the connecting member 120, a connecting - member snap - connection portion 126 is provided on the side of the connecting member 120 close to the snap - connection portion of the cover plate 112, and the cover plate 112 is snap - connected to the connecting - member snap - connection portion 126 of the connecting member 120 through the first cover - plate connection portion 112.

[0077] The cover plate 112 is located at the rear side of the connecting member 120, and the cover plate 112 is located between the connecting member 120 and the rear side wall of the first inner container 111. Among the first cover - plate snap - connection portion 1121 and the connecting - member snap - connection portion 126, one is a snap - head and the other is a snap - groove, and the snap - head is located in the snap - groove to achieve the snap connection between the cover plate 112 and the connecting member 120. The connection between the cover plate 112 and the connecting member 120 by snap - connection can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the cover plate 112.

[0078] As Figure 5 and Figure 7, in some embodiments, the cover plate 112 is located on the side of the connecting member 120 close to the installation cavity 120a; a second cover plate clamping portion 1122 is provided on the side of the cover plate 112 away from the connecting member 120, and a first inner tank clamping portion 1111 is provided on the side of the first inner tank 111 close to the second cover plate clamping portion 1122. The cover plate 112 is clamped to the first inner tank 111 through the second cover plate clamping portion 1122 and the first inner tank clamping portion 1111 of the first inner tank 111.

[0079] In the second cover plate clamping portion 1122 and the first inner tank clamping portion 1111, one of them is a clamping head and the other is a clamping groove. The clamping head is located in the clamping groove to realize the clamping of the cover plate 112 and the first inner tank 111. The connection between the cover plate 112 and the first inner tank 111 by clamping can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the cover plate 112.

[0080] In some embodiments, both the first cover plate clamping portion 1121 and the second cover plate clamping portion 1122 are clamping heads, and both the connecting member clamping portion 126 and the first inner tank clamping portion 1111 are clamping grooves. After the connecting member 120 is connected to the first inner tank 111, align the first cover plate clamping portion 1121 and the second cover plate clamping portion 1122 of the cover plate 112 with the connecting member clamping portion 126 and the first inner tank clamping portion 1111 respectively, and then press the cover plate 112, so that the first cover plate clamping portion 1121 can be clamped to the connecting member clamping portion 126, and the second cover plate clamping portion 1122 can be clamped to the first inner tank clamping portion 1111.

[0081] As Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments, the clamping portion of the connecting member 120 is provided on the first side wall 121.

[0082] As Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, in some embodiments, the box body 110 includes a first inner tank 111 and a second inner tank 113. The connecting member 120 connects the first inner tank 111 and the second inner tank 113 and forms an installation cavity 120a with the first inner tank 111.

[0083] It should be noted that both the first inner tank 111 and the second inner tank 113 have an accommodation cavity 110a. The setting of the two inner tanks helps to increase the storage capacity of the refrigerator 100, so that the refrigerator 100 can store more items.

[0084] In these embodiments, the connecting member 120 can not only connect the first inner tank 111 and the second inner tank 113, but also form an installation cavity 120a with the first inner tank 111. The connecting member 120 integrates the functions of connecting the two inner tanks and forming the installation cavity 120a. The integration degree of the connecting member 120 is high, which facilitates the connection between the first inner tank 111 and the second inner tank 113 and helps to simplify the structure of the refrigerator 100.

[0085] The first inner container 111 and the second inner container 113 can be arranged in sequence along the height direction of the refrigerator 100, or can be arranged in sequence along the width direction of the refrigerator 100. As Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, the first inner container 111 and the second inner container 113 are arranged side by side along the width direction of the refrigerator 100, and the accommodation cavity 110a of the first inner container 111 and the accommodation cavity 110a of the second inner container 113 are both freezing cavities.

[0086] In some embodiments, the connecting member 120 is located between the first inner container 111 and the second inner container 113, facilitating the connection between the first inner container 111 and the second inner container 113.

[0087] As Figure 11 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown, in some embodiments, the connecting member 120 includes a first connecting member 123, a second connecting member 124 and a fixing member 125; the first connecting member 123 is connected to the first inner container 111 and forms an installation cavity 120a with the first inner container 111; the second connecting member 124 is connected to the first inner container 111 and the second inner container 113; the fixing member 125 is fixedly connected to the first inner container 111 and / or the second inner container 113, and under the action of the fixing member 125, the first connecting member 123 and the second connecting member 124 are fixed.

[0088] That is to say, the first connecting member 123 is used to enclose and form the installation cavity 120a with the first inner container 111; the second connecting member 124 is connected to both the first inner container 111 and the second inner container 113, and the second connecting member 124 is used to connect the first inner container 111 and the second inner container 113 together; the fixing member 125 can be connected to the first inner container 111, can also be connected to the second inner container 113, or can be connected to both the first inner container 111 and the second inner container 113 at the same time. After the fixing member 125 is connected to the first inner container 111 and / or the second inner container 113, the fixing member 125 clamps and fixes the first connecting member 123 and the second connecting member 124 to prevent the first connecting member 123 and the second connecting member 124 from loosening.

[0089] After such a design, the connecting member 120 is formed by connecting multiple components.
