Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present utility model. In addition, the present utility model may repeat reference numerals and / or reference letters in different examples, and this repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity and does not itself indicate the relationship between various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present utility model provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can be aware of the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0062] In some embodiments, a refrigerator is provided. Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , for example, a vertical refrigerator.

[0063] The refrigerator includes a cabinet 10. The cabinet 10 has a cuboid structure.

[0064] The refrigerator includes an inner liner. The inner liner is disposed within the cabinet 10. A foaming layer is provided between the inner liner and the cabinet 10. A plurality of storage compartments are formed in the inner liner. The storage compartments are a refrigerating compartment and / or a freezing compartment.

[0065] For example, a refrigerating compartment 41, a variable temperature compartment 42, and a freezing compartment 43 are formed in the inner liner. The refrigerating compartment 41 is located above, the freezing compartment 43 is located below, and the variable temperature compartment 42 is located between the refrigerating compartment 41 and the freezing compartment 43.

[0066] The refrigerator includes a door body 20. The door body 20 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 10. The door body 20 is configured to close or open the storage compartments.

[0067] For example, the refrigerator includes a door body 20A, and the door body 20A is configured to close or open the refrigerating compartment 41.

[0068] The refrigerator includes a door body 20B, and the door body 20B is configured to close or open the variable temperature compartment 42.

[0069] The refrigerator includes a door body 20C, and the door body 20C is configured to close or open the freezing compartment 43.

[0070] The refrigerator includes an installation cavity 100. The installation cavity 100 is provided at the bottom of the back side of the cabinet 10. The bottom plate 110 of the installation cavity 100 is the bottom plate of the refrigerator. The installation cavity 100 is open towards the back side of the refrigerator, facilitating the installation and maintenance of the internal components of the installation cavity 100.

[0071] The refrigerator includes a refrigeration system. The refrigeration system includes a compressor 30, a condenser, an evaporator, and an expansion valve. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation to cool the storage compartment.

[0072] The low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor 30, and the compressor 30 compresses it into a refrigerant gas in a high-temperature and high-pressure state and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0073] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant formed by condensation in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the refrigerant gas in a low-temperature and low-pressure state to the compressor 30. The evaporator can achieve a refrigeration effect by using the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant to exchange heat with the storage compartment. In the whole cycle, the refrigeration system can adjust the temperature of the storage compartment.

[0074] In some embodiments, the condenser is disposed in the installation cavity 100. The condenser is a heat exchanger.

[0075] The compressor 30 is disposed in the installation cavity 100. For example, the feet of the compressor 30 are fixedly mounted to the bottom plate 110 by bolts. The feet of the compressor 30 are shock-absorbing feet to reduce the vibration of the compressor 30.

[0076] In some embodiments, the refrigerator further includes a water receiving tray 200. Figure 10 Shown is a structural diagram of the water receiving tray 200. The water receiving tray 200 is fixedly disposed on the bottom plate 110. The water receiving tray 200 is configured to receive the condensed water generated by the condenser.

[0077] The condenser is fixedly disposed on the water receiving tray 200, and the condensed water generated by the condenser flows downward onto the water receiving tray 200.

[0078] In some embodiments, the refrigerator further includes a fan 500. The fan 500 is configured to air-cool and dissipate heat from the condenser.

[0079] The fan 500 is disposed at one end of the condenser. When the fan 500 starts, the air in the installation cavity 100 flows through the condenser, taking away the heat generated during the operation of the condenser, dissipating heat and cooling the condenser, which helps the heat exchange effect of the refrigeration system.

[0080] In some embodiments, the refrigerator further includes a cover plate, which is detachably disposed at the open end of the installation cavity 100. Heat dissipation holes are provided on the cover plate, and the installation cavity 100 communicates with the outside atmosphere through the heat dissipation holes.

[0081] In some embodiments, the refrigerator further includes a first bracket 300. Figure 8 Shown is a structural diagram of the first bracket 300. The first bracket 300 is disposed in the installation cavity 100. The first bracket 300 is configured to mount the blower 500. The first bracket 300 serves as the mounting carrier for the blower 500.

[0082] The material of the first bracket 300 is plastic, such as PP plastic, which is prone to deformation and fracture when subjected to extrusion and cannot provide extrusion protection for the blower 500.

[0083] When the refrigerator drops from a height during transportation, the bottom plate 110 collides with the ground, and the bottom plate 110 is deformed under pressure. The deformation of the bottom plate 110 will cause the first bracket 300 to deform, and the deformation of the first bracket 300 will cause the blower 500 to deform, damaging the blower 500.

[0084] To solve this technical problem, in some embodiments, the refrigerator further includes a second bracket 400. Figure 9 Shown is a structural diagram of the second bracket 400. The second bracket 400 is disposed close to the first bracket 300 and is configured to withstand external pressure to prevent the first bracket 300 from deforming.

[0085] As a protective support component, when the refrigerator drops from a height during transportation, the bottom plate 110 collides with the ground and deforms. The second bracket 400 absorbs the deformation amount of the bottom plate 110, thereby preventing the first bracket 300 from deforming, and further effectively protecting the blower 500, avoiding damage to the blower 500 due to extrusion, improving product reliability, and reducing the transportation damage rate of the refrigerator.

[0086] In some embodiments, the second bracket 400 is a galvanized sheet, which has high strength and is not easily deformed, improving the protective support effect on the blower 500.

[0087] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the first bracket 300 is fixedly disposed in the water receiving tray 200. There is a distance D1 between the first bracket 300 and the top plate 120 of the installation cavity 100. Figure 5 The top plate 120 in is schematically shown by a straight line.

[0088] Continuing to refer to Figure 5, the lower end of the second bracket 400 is connected to the bottom plate 110. There is a distance D2 between the upper end of the second bracket 400 and the top plate 120, and D2 < D1. In other words, the second bracket 400 is closer to the top plate 120 of the installation cavity 100 than the first bracket 300.

[0089] When the refrigerator drops from a height during transportation, the bottom plate 110 collides with the ground, and the bottom plate 110 is deformed under pressure. First, the second bracket 400 is deformed to absorb energy. When the second bracket 400 is deformed to abut against the top plate 120 of the installation cavity 100, if the bottom plate 110 continues to deform, it may squeeze the first bracket 300, protecting the fan 500 to the greatest extent.

[0090] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , the first bracket 300 and the second bracket 400 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the fan 500, and the second bracket 400 is arranged close to the first bracket 300 to provide better protection for the first bracket 300 and the fan 500.

[0091] Combined with Figure 9 , the second bracket 400 encloses a first through hole 460, and the first through hole 460 is directly opposite to the fan 500 so as not to affect the normal air supply of the fan 500.

[0092] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9 , the second bracket 400 includes a first bracket section 410, and the first bracket section 410 extends in the vertical direction.

[0093] The second bracket 400 includes a second bracket section 420, and the second bracket section 420 extends in the horizontal direction.

[0094] The second bracket 400 includes a third bracket section 430, and the third bracket section 430 extends in the vertical direction.

[0095] The first bracket section 410, the second bracket section 420, and the third bracket section 430 are connected in sequence and are of an integral structure. The second bracket section 420 is connected to the upper ends of the first bracket section 410 and the third bracket section 430. The second bracket 400 has an inverted U-shaped structure. The first bracket section 410, the second bracket section 420, and the third bracket section 430 enclose the first through hole 460.

[0096] The lower end of the first bracket section 410 is connected to the bottom plate 110, and the lower end of the third bracket section 430 is connected to the bottom plate 110, realizing the fixed installation of the second bracket 400 in the installation cavity 100.

[0097] The second bracket 400 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 110 to better absorb the deformation of the bottom plate 110, which helps to improve the protection effect on the first bracket 300 and the fan 500.

[0098] In some embodiments, the bottom plate 110 includes a bottom plate body 111, and the bottom plate body 111 is in a plate-like structure. The compressor 30 and the water receiving tray 200 are fixedly arranged on the bottom plate body 111.

[0099] The bottom plate 110 further includes a bottom plate flange 112, and the bottom plate flange 112 extends upward from the bottom plate body 111. The bottom plate flanges 112 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the bottom plate body 111 (for example, the front side and the rear side of the bottom plate 110).

[0100] One of the two bottom plate flanges 112 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first section of the bracket 410 through a connecting member (such as a screw), and the other is fixedly connected to the lower end of the third section of the bracket 430 through a connecting member (such as a screw), so as to realize the fixed connection between the second bracket 400 and the bottom plate 110.

[0101] For example, referring to Figure 6 , a first mounting hole 113 is arranged on the bottom plate flange 112 close to the rear side of the refrigerator. Referring to Figure 7 , a second mounting hole 114 is arranged on the bottom plate flange 112 far from the rear side of the refrigerator.

[0102] Referring to Figure 9 , a third mounting hole 411 is arranged at a lower position of the first section of the bracket 410, and the third mounting hole 411 is aligned with the first mounting hole 113 to drive a screw, so as to realize the fixed connection between the first section of the bracket 410 and the bottom plate flange 112.

[0103] A fourth mounting hole 431 is arranged at a lower position of the third section of the bracket 430, and the fourth mounting hole 431 is aligned with the second mounting hole 114 to drive a screw, so as to realize the fixed connection between the third section of the bracket 430 and the bottom plate flange 112.

[0104] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10 , the water receiving tray 200 includes a water receiving tray body 210, and the water receiving tray body 210 is in a plate-like structure. The condenser and the first bracket 300 are fixedly installed on the water receiving tray body 210.

[0105] The water receiving tray 200 further includes a water receiving tray flange 220, and the water receiving tray flange 220 extends upward from the water receiving tray body 210. The water receiving tray flanges 220 are arranged around the water receiving tray body 210 to enclose a water receiving space.

[0106] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , there is a gap between the water receiving tray flange 220 and the corresponding bottom plate flange 112, and the first section of the bracket 410 and the third section of the bracket 430 are located in the corresponding gaps, so the structure is compact.

[0107] In some embodiments, at least one water receiving tray flange 220 near the bottom plate flange 112 is connected to the second bracket 400 through a connecting member (such as a screw), which helps to improve the connection stability among the bottom plate 110, the water receiving tray 200, and the second bracket 400.

[0108] For example, referring to Figure 10 , a fifth mounting hole 221 is provided on the water receiving tray flange 220 near the rear side of the refrigerator. The fifth mounting hole 221 corresponds to the first mounting hole 113 on the bottom plate flange 112 and the third mounting hole 411 on the first section of the bracket 410. Screws are inserted into the three mounting holes to achieve the fixed connection among the bottom plate flange 112, the first section of the bracket 410, and the water receiving tray flange 220.

[0109] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 , the gap between the water receiving tray flange 220 far from the rear side of the refrigerator and the bottom plate flange 112 is relatively large. The third section of the bracket 430 is not connected to the water receiving tray flange 220 on this side. The third section of the bracket 430 is only fixedly connected to the bottom plate flange 112 on this side.

[0110] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9 , the third section of the bracket 430 includes the third section of the bracket 430A, the third section of the bracket 430B, and the third section of the bracket 430C, which are connected in sequence from top to bottom.

[0111] The third section of the bracket 430A and the third section of the bracket 430C extend in the vertical direction. The distance between the third section of the bracket 430A and the first section of the bracket 410 is less than the distance between the third section of the bracket 430C and the first section of the bracket 410. In other words, the third section of the bracket 430A is closer to the first section of the bracket 410 than the third section of the bracket 430C. The third section of the bracket 430C is fixedly connected to the bottom plate flange 112 through a connecting member.

[0112] The outward expansion structure of the third section of the bracket 430 is equivalent to an expansion arm. Using the tension of the third section of the bracket 430, the third section of the bracket 430 abuts against the bottom plate flange 112, which helps to improve the connection reliability of the second bracket 400.

[0113] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9 , the second bracket 400 further includes a fourth section of the bracket 440. The fourth section of the bracket 440 is connected between the first section of the bracket 410 and the third section of the bracket 430. The fourth section of the bracket 440 is located below the second section of the bracket 420. Referring to Figure 6 , the fourth section of the bracket 440 is located above the fan 500 so as not to affect the installation of the fan 500. The first section of the bracket 410, the second section of the bracket 420, and the fourth section of the bracket 440 enclose a first through opening.

[0114] A plurality of spaced-apart reinforcing portions 450 are provided between the second bracket section 420 and the fourth bracket section 440 to improve the structural strength of the second bracket 400.

[0115] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , the distance D2 between the upper end of the second bracket 400 and the top plate 120 ranges from [15 mm, 25 mm]. For example, D2 = 21 mm.

[0116] The distance between the upper end of the second bracket 400 and the upper end of the first bracket 300 ranges from [15 mm, 25 mm], that is, D1 - D2 = [15 mm, 25 mm]. For example, D1 - D2 = 22 mm.

[0117] With the settings within the above range, through simulation verification, when the refrigerator drops from a height of 800 mm, the fan 500 is not damaged.

[0118] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10 , two mounting platforms 230 are provided in the water receiving tray 200. The two mounting platforms 230 are spaced apart along the width direction of the water receiving tray 200. An insertion portion, denoted as the first insertion portion 231, is provided on any one of the mounting platforms 230.

[0119] The first bracket 300 is seated on the mounting platform 230. The first bracket 300 is inserted into the first insertion portion 231. The first bracket 300 is connected to at least one of the two mounting platforms 230 through a connecting member.

[0120] For example, the first insertion portion 231 is a slot 235. A first extension portion 232 is provided on the mounting platform 230. The slot 235 is formed between the first extension portion 232 and the mounting platform 230.
