[0002] With the development of technology, the functions of refrigerators have become more and more abundant. A refrigerator includes a box body and a door body rotatably arranged on the box body. The door body may be provided with an installation box for a water dispenser to meet the user's need for directly drinking cold water. However, gaps are likely to appear between the installation box and the door shell of the door body, and the installation box and the door shell are likely to be deformed, etc., and the connection stability between the installation box and the door shell of the door body is poor. Utility Model Content

[0003] The embodiments of the present application provide a refrigerator, which can solve the technical problem of deformation of the installation box and the door shell of the door body, and improve the connection stability between the installation box and the door shell.

[0004] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a refrigerator, including

[0005] A box body provided with a receiving cavity;

[0006] A door body rotatably arranged on the box body; the door body includes a door shell and an inner liner connected to each other. When the door body is in a closed state, the inner liner faces the receiving cavity, the door shell faces away from the receiving cavity, and the door shell is provided with an opening;

[0007] An installation box including a main body and a fitting part; the main body is arranged in the opening, and the surface of the main body facing away from the inner liner is recessed; the fitting part is arranged on the outer side of the main body, and the fitting part is adhesively fixed to the surface of the door shell facing the inner liner.

[0008] For the refrigerator according to the embodiments of the present application, the installation box is fixed on the door shell of the door body by adhesively bonding the fitting part of the installation box to the surface of the door shell. By adopting the method of adhesive fixation, the fitting part can be closely attached to the door shell, avoiding the generation of gaps at the bonding part, ensuring that no foreign objects pass through the bonding part, and preventing the installation box and the door shell from being deformed. The connection between the installation box and the door shell can remain stable during long-term use, thereby improving the installation stability of the installation box and the reliability of the structure.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, the fitting part is provided with a sealing layer, the sealing layer is arranged outside the opening, and the fitting part is adhesively fixed to the door shell through the sealing layer.

[0010] This ensures the close contact and firm connection between the installation box and the door shell, avoids the generation of gaps at the surface bonding part between the fitting part and the door shell, and improves the installation stability of the installation box and the reliability of the structure.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, in the direction close to or far from the opening, the width of the sealing layer is greater than or equal to millimeters.

[0012] The sealing layer needs to have a certain width to ensure the sealing performance between the fitting part and the door shell, prevent the cold air in the refrigerator from leaking, and prevent foreign objects from entering, which may cause deformation of the installation box and the door shell. A wider sealing layer usually has better anti-aging, anti-wear and corrosion resistance, which can extend the service life of the sealing layer.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, a receiving groove is provided on the surface of the fitting part facing the door shell, and the receiving groove is at least used to accommodate the sealing layer;

[0014] The surface of the sealing layer facing away from the door shell is attached to the bottom surface of the receiving groove, the surface of the sealing layer facing the door shell is flush with the fitting part, and the surface of the sealing layer facing the door shell is connected to the door shell.

[0015] With such a setting, it is ensured that the sealing layer can be stably installed on the fitting part. This helps to prevent the sealing layer from shifting or falling off during use, improving the stability and durability of the sealing layer.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the sealing layer is provided as an annular sealing layer, the inner side of the annular sealing layer is attached to the side wall of the receiving groove, and the outer side of the annular sealing layer is flush with the side of the fitting part away from the opening;

[0017] The side of the fitting part away from the opening is provided with an arc surface, and the arc surface protrudes towards the inner liner.

[0018] With such a setting, it is possible to prevent the annular sealing layer from shifting during installation and use, thereby ensuring that the sealing effect between the installation box and the door shell is not affected. If the annular sealing layer does not shift, the wear and damage of the annular sealing layer can be reduced, thereby extending the service life of the annular sealing layer.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present application, a foaming member is provided between the door shell and the inner liner;

[0020] The first part of the foaming member faces the opening, and the first part of the foaming member contacts the main body; the second part of the foaming member is provided outside the first part of the foaming member, and the second part of the foaming member contacts the fitting part.

[0021] This can prevent the foaming member from entering the gap, avoid the pressure generated during the curing process of the foaming member from causing deformation of the door shell and the installation box, thereby maintaining the structural stability and aesthetics of the refrigerator door body. At the same time, this can prevent the foaming member from entering the gap, causing deformation of the door shell and the installation box, affecting the sealing performance of the refrigerator and resulting in a decrease in the heat preservation effect.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, the installation box is provided with a recess facing away from the inner liner, the inner side of the recess is connected to the main body, and the outer side of the recess is connected to the fitting part;

[0023] The door shell is provided with a flanging which extends towards the inner liner and is arranged within the recessed portion.

[0024] The flanging can prevent the door shell from deforming during use and improve the durability of the door shell. Moreover, the recessed portion provides an auxiliary installation and positioning function for the flanging, reduces the assembly difficulty between the installation box and the door shell, and improves the assembly efficiency of the installation box.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, the door shell closes at least part of the recessed portion, and the flanging fits with the surface of the recessed portion close to the main body.

[0026] This helps to enhance the connection strength between the door shell and the installation box, making the door body more durable.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance between the side of the sealing layer facing the opening and the opening is less than or equal to millimeters.

[0028] Setting the recessed portion with a smaller opening distance can ensure the strength of the installation box and extend the service life of the installation box.

[0029] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator, including a box body, a door body and an installation box;

[0030] The box body is provided with a receiving cavity; the door body is rotatably arranged on the box body; when the door body is in the closed state, the inner liner of the door body faces the receiving cavity, the door shell of the door body faces away from the receiving cavity, and the door shell is provided with an opening;

[0031] The installation box includes a main body and a fitting portion; the main body is arranged within the opening, and at least the side of the main body facing away from the inner liner is used for holding a water cup; the fitting portion is arranged on the outer side of the main body, and the installation box is adhesively fixed to the surface of the door shell facing the inner liner through the fitting portion.

[0032] In the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present application, the installation box is fixed to the door shell of the door body through the adhesive bonding of the fitting portion of the installation box to the surface of the door shell. By adopting the adhesive bonding fixing method, the fitting portion can be closely attached to the door shell, avoiding the generation of gaps at the bonding position, ensuring that no foreign objects pass through the bonding position, and preventing the installation box and the door shell from deforming. The connection between the installation box and the door shell can remain stable during long-term use, thereby improving the installation stability of the installation box and the reliability of the structure.

[0054] As described in the background art, in the related art, a refrigerator includes a box body and a door body rotatably provided on the box body. The door body can be provided with an installation box for a water dispenser to meet the user's need for directly drinking cold water. The door body is provided with a door shell and an inner liner. The door shell is provided with a snap hole, and the installation box of the water dispenser is provided with a snap portion. The installation of the installation box of the water dispenser is realized by snapping the snap portion with the snap hole.

[0055] However, when the installation box and the door shell of the door body are connected by snapping, gaps are likely to appear, and the installation box and the door shell of the door body are likely to be deformed, resulting in poor connection stability between the installation box and the door shell of the door body.

[0056] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a refrigerator. The installation box is fixed on the door shell of the door body by bonding the fitting portion of the installation box to the surface of the door shell. By adopting the bonding and fixing method, the fitting portion can be closely attached to the door shell, avoiding the generation of gaps at the bonding part, ensuring that no foreign objects can pass through the bonding part, and preventing the installation box and the door shell from being deformed. The connection between the installation box and the door shell can remain stable during long-term use, thereby improving the installation stability of the installation box and the reliability of the structure.

[0063] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0064] An embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator, which includes a box body (not shown in the figure). The box body is provided with a receiving cavity (not shown in the figure), and the box body provides support for the receiving cavity. The box body protects key components such as the internal refrigeration system and control system, and ensures that these components are not affected by external impacts or damages during operation.

[0065] The receiving cavity of the box body is used to store items such as food and beverages. Items that need to be refrigerated or frozen are placed inside the box body to maintain their freshness and taste.

[0066] The refrigerator includes a door body (not shown in the figure), and the door body can ensure the sealing performance of the refrigerator. The door body can effectively isolate the gas exchange between the inside and the outside, reduce the leakage of cold air, and improve the energy efficiency of the refrigerator.

[0067] The door body uses the box body as a carrier, and the door body is rotatably connected to the box body. This enables users to conveniently open and close the refrigerator.

[0068] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the door body 20 includes a door shell 210, and the door shell 210 can protect the internal structure. As the external structure of the refrigerator, the door shell 210 has a high aesthetic degree, and the door shell 210 also has durability and scratch resistance to meet daily needs.

[0069] Exemplarily, the door shell 210 is usually made of durable materials such as metal or plastic, and can be made by processes such as wire drawing to give the refrigerator a certain aesthetic appearance.

[0070] The door body 20 includes an inner liner (not shown in the figure). The inner liner can keep the internal space of the box body clean and the food safe, and the inner liner has a certain structural strength to support the components inside the door body 20. For example, the inner liner is usually made of food-grade materials and can be made of materials such as stainless steel and plastic.

[0071] The inner liner and the door shell 210 are fixedly connected. When the door body 20 is in the closed state, the inner liner faces the accommodation cavity, and the door shell 210 faces away from the accommodation cavity. This facilitates the taking of items and makes the appearance of the refrigerator cleaner and more beautiful. The accommodation cavity also participates in the refrigeration or freezing process of the refrigerator, and the accommodation cavity helps to reduce the cold air leakage phenomenon at the edge of the door body 20 and improve the overall heat preservation effect of the refrigerator.

[0072] The door shell 210 is provided with an opening 211, and other components can be embedded through the opening 211 to improve the functionality of the refrigerator.

[0073] The refrigerator includes a mounting box 30, and the mounting box 30 is mounted on the door body 20. The mounting box 30 is used to provide additional storage space or integrate other functions. Exemplarily, the mounting box 30 can be set as a water dispenser mounting box, so that users can obtain cold water without opening the door body 20. The water dispenser mounting box provides a convenient user experience. Integrating the water dispenser mounting box onto the refrigerator door can save space in places such as the kitchen.

[0074] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, for easy understanding, the mounting box 30 is defined as two parts. The mounting box 30 includes a main body 310 and a fitting part 320. Among them, the main body 310 is disposed within the opening 211 of the door shell 210. It is recessed on the surface of the main body 310 facing away from the inner liner, and this recessed setting can form a certain space or groove.

[0075] On the side of the main body 310 facing away from the inner container, it is at least used for placing a water cup. That is, the concave part can be designed as a groove for placing the water cup, which can increase the practicality of the installation box and improve the user experience. Moreover, the user can easily place the water cup in the concave part, avoiding the risk of the water cup rolling or tipping over.

[0076] The fitting part 320 is arranged circumferentially on the outer side of the main body 310. The fitting part 320 is bonded to the surface of the door shell 210 on the side facing the inner container. The fitting part 320 is located inside the door shell 210, avoiding the visual clutter caused by the exposure of the installation box 30. This setting makes the door body 20 of the refrigerator look more concise and smooth, improving the appearance quality of the refrigerator.

[0077] Exemplarily, for the bonding between the fitting part 320 and the surface of the door shell 210, adhesives such as silicone sealant and polyurethane glue can be selected.

[0078] By bonding the fitting part 320 to the surface of the door shell 210, the installation box 30 is fixed on the door shell 210 of the door body 20. Through the bonding and fixing method, the fitting part 320 can be closely attached to the door shell 210, avoiding the generation of gaps at the bonding part, ensuring that no foreign objects can pass through the bonding part, and preventing deformation at the connection between the installation box 30 and the door shell 210. The connection between the installation box 30 and the door shell 210 can remain stable during long-term use, thereby improving the installation stability of the installation box 30 and the reliability of the structure.

[0079] The bonding between the fitting part 320 and the surface of the door shell 210 avoids the generation of gaps at the bonding part, preventing heat from being transferred from the inside of the door shell 210 to the outside of the refrigerator and improving the heat preservation effect of the refrigerator.

[0080] For the bonding between the fitting part 320 and the surface of the door shell 210, the corresponding positions of the fitting part 320 and the door shell 210 need to be aligned, and then an appropriate amount of adhesive is applied and waited for it to cure, simplifying the assembly process and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0081] Refer to Figure 5 As shown, a foaming member 230 is provided between the door shell 210 and the inner container. The main function of the foaming member 230 is to improve the heat preservation and insulation performance of the door body 20, and it can reduce the heat exchange between the inside of the door body 20 and the external environment. For example, the foaming member 230 is usually made of polyurethane or other foaming materials. These materials can fill the space during the foaming process to form a dense heat insulation layer.

[0082] The foaming member 230 provides certain structural support for the door body 20. The foaming member 230 can make the door shell 210 and the inner container be more closely combined together, enhancing the overall strength and stability of the door body 20. This helps to prevent the door body 20 from deforming or being damaged during long-term use.

[0083] The foam member 230 also has a certain sound absorption and shock absorption effect. When the refrigerator is running, the refrigeration system will generate a certain amount of noise and vibration. The foam member can absorb these noises and vibrations, improving the user experience.

[0084] The foam member 230 can increase the connection stability between the mounting box 30 and the door shell 210, preventing the mounting box 30 from loosening or shifting during use.

[0085] Referring Figure 5 As shown, for ease of understanding, the foam member 230 between the door shell 210 and the inner liner is defined as two parts, namely the first part 231 of the foam member 230 and the second part 232 of the foam member 230. Among them, the first part 231 of the foam member 230 faces the opening 211, and the first part 231 of the foam member 230 contacts the main body 310. By contacting the first part 231 of the foam member 230 with the main body 310, a sealing layer can be formed between the mounting box 30 and the door shell 210 to improve the heat preservation effect of the refrigerator.

[0086] The second part 232 of the foam member 230 is arranged on the outside of the first part 231 of the foam member 230, and the second part 232 of the foam member 230 contacts the fitting part 320. Similarly, this can form a sealing layer between the mounting box 30 and the door shell 210 to improve the heat preservation effect of the refrigerator.

[0087] As mentioned above, the fitting part 320 is adhesively bonded to the surface of the door shell 210, avoiding the generation of gaps at the bonding site. This can prevent the foam member 230 from entering the gaps, avoiding the deformation of the door shell 210 and the mounting box 30 caused by the pressure generated during the curing process of the foam member 230, thereby maintaining the structural stability and aesthetics of the refrigerator door body 20. At the same time, with such a setting, it can prevent the foam member 230 from entering the gaps, causing the deformation of the door shell 210 and the mounting box 30, affecting the sealing performance of the refrigerator and resulting in a decrease in the heat preservation effect.

[0088] Referring Figure 5 And Figure 6 As shown, the fitting part 320 is provided with a sealing layer 330, and the sealing layer 330 can further enhance the sealing performance between the fitting part 320 and the door shell 210.

[0089] The sealing layer 330 is arranged on the outside of the opening 211, and the sealing layer 330 is set at the outer edge of the opening 211. The sealing layer 330 is arranged between the fitting part 320 and the door shell 210. The fitting part 320 is adhesively fixed to the door shell 210 through the sealing layer 330, ensuring the close contact and firm connection between the mounting box 30 and the door shell 210. This avoids the generation of gaps at the surface bonding site between the fitting part 320 and the door shell 210, improving the installation stability of the mounting box 30 and the reliability of the structure.

[0090] The sealing layer 330 can enhance the sealing performance between the fitting part 320 and the door shell 210, preventing air and moisture from entering the interior of the refrigerator door body 20 through the gaps. This can maintain the low-temperature environment inside the refrigerator and prevent external pollutants from entering.

[0091] Referring to Figure 6 As shown, further, the sealing layer 330 is arranged as an annular sealing layer, and the annular sealing layer provides a continuous sealing barrier around the edge of the opening 211, effectively preventing cold air leakage. For example, the shape of the annular sealing layer and the edge of the opening 211 can be set to a conformal design, saving the material of the annular sealing layer.

[0092] Exemplarily, the sealing layer 330 can be made of rubber material. Under the condition of meeting the temperature resistance, the rubber can deform to make up for the gaps. The sealing layer 330 made of rubber material can absorb a certain amount of stress and reduce the deformation caused by temperature changes or other external forces.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the width of the sealing layer 330 is defined as L1. From the cross-sectional position, in the direction close to or far from the opening 211, the width L1 of the sealing layer 330 is greater than or equal to 25 mm. The sealing layer 330 needs to have a certain width to ensure the sealing performance between the fitting part 320 and the door shell 210, prevent the cold air leakage of the refrigerator, and prevent foreign objects from entering and causing deformation of the installation box 30 and the door shell 210. A wider sealing layer 330 usually has better anti-aging, anti-wear and corrosion resistance, and can extend the service life of the sealing layer 330.

[0094] Referring to Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the surface of the fitting part 320 facing the door shell 210 is provided with a receiving groove 321, and the receiving groove 321 is at least used to accommodate the sealing layer 330. The receiving groove 321 improves the convenience of installing the sealing layer 330, ensures the close contact between the sealing layer 330 and the fitting part 320, and can enhance the sealing effect. Exemplarily, the receiving groove 321 is arranged as an "L" shape, which is convenient for installing the sealing layer 330.

[0095] The surface of the sealing layer 330 facing away from the door shell 210 is attached to the bottom surface of the receiving groove 321 to ensure that the sealing layer 330 can be stably installed on the fitting part 320. Arranged in this way, it helps to prevent the sealing layer 330 from shifting or falling off during use, and improves the stability and durability of the sealing layer 330. For example, the sealing layer 330 and the bottom surface of the receiving groove 321 are bonded together by an adhesive to ensure that the sealing layer 330 does not shift or fall off.

[0096] The surface of the sealing layer 330 facing the door shell 210 is flush with the fitting portion 320, and the surface of the sealing layer 330 facing the door shell 210 is connected to the door shell 210. That is to say, the sealing layer 330 is located between the receiving groove 321 of the mounting box 30 and the door shell 210, which can prevent the sealing layer 330 from being physically damaged and extend the service life of the sealing layer 330.

[0097] As described above, the sealing layer 330 is arranged as an annular sealing layer, and the inner side of the annular sealing layer is attached to the side wall of the receiving groove 321, so as to prevent the annular sealing layer from shifting during installation and use. The annular sealing layer can always remain in the designed position, thus ensuring that the sealing effect between the mounting box 30 and the door shell 210 is not affected. The non-shifting of the annular sealing layer can reduce the wear and damage of the annular sealing layer, thereby extending the service life of the annular sealing layer.

[0098] The outer side of the annular sealing layer 330 is flush with the side of the fitting portion 320 away from the opening 211. The flush design helps to prevent the annular sealing layer 330 from being damaged due to wear or collision with other objects, and the flush design helps to reduce this risk. The outer side of the annular sealing layer 330 being flush with one side of the fitting portion 320 can reduce the usage amount of the material of the annular sealing layer 330.

[0099] Continue to refer to Figure 11 As shown, an arc surface 320a is provided on the side of the fitting portion away from the opening 211, and the arc surface 320a protrudes towards the inner liner. The arc surface 320a can reduce the stress concentration at the fitting portion 320 of the mounting box 30, improve the stability of the fitting portion 320, and also extend the service life of the mounting box 30.

[0100] The arc surface 320a enables the foaming member 230 to be evenly distributed during the process of being injected between the door shell 210 and the inner liner. In this way, it is avoided that there is too much or too little foaming member 230 around the fitting portion 320, and the heat insulation performance of the refrigerator is improved.

[0101] The mounting box 30 is provided with a recessed portion 340 facing away from the inner liner. The recessed portion 340 can be arranged in the shape of a groove with an opening, and the opening faces away from the inner liner. The recessed portion 340 is used to accommodate or cooperate with other components.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 341 are evenly arranged inside the recessed portion 340, and the reinforcing ribs 341 are arranged on the side of the recessed portion 340 away from the main body 310. The reinforcing ribs 341 can increase the anti-deformation ability of the mounting box 30 and improve the stability of the mounting box 30 during use. The reinforcing ribs 341 can improve the connection strength between the door shell 210 and the mounting box 30.

[0103] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 12As shown, the door shell 210 is provided with a flange 212, and the flange 212 is arranged circumferentially around the opening 211. The flange 212 extends towards the inner liner, and the flange 212 can enhance the structural strength and stability of the opening 211 of the door shell 210. The flange 212 can prevent the door shell 210 from deforming during use and improve the durability of the door shell 210.

[0104] Furthermore, the flange 212 is arranged within the recess 340. The recess 340 provides an auxiliary installation and positioning function for the flange 212, reduces the assembly difficulty between the mounting box 30 and the door shell 210, and improves the assembly efficiency of the mounting box 30.

[0105] The flange 212 also enhances the connection strength between the door body 20 and the mounting box 30, prevents the fitting portion 320 of the mounting box 30 from deforming or detaching, and improves the stability of the structure of the refrigerator.

[0106] The flange 212 is arranged within the recess 340, covering the fitting portion 320, improving the visual flatness, and enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the refrigerator door body 20.

[0107] Continue to refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the inner side of the recess 340 is connected to the main body 310, and the outer side of the recess 340 is connected to the fitting portion 320. The recess 340 is located between the main body 310 and the fitting portion 320. This ensures a firm connection between the recess 340 and the main body 310 and the fitting portion 320 of the mounting box 30. With such an arrangement, the overall stability of the mounting box 30 is increased, and the recess 340 is prevented from deforming or detaching during use.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present application, the door shell 210 can close the recess 340, and the flange 212 is in contact with the surface of the recess 340 close to the main body 310. The seamless connection between the door shell 210 and the recess 340 makes the appearance of the refrigerator door body 20 cleaner and more beautiful, enhancing the texture of the refrigerator. The closed structure helps to enhance the connection strength between the door shell 210 and the mounting box 30 and extends the service life of the door body 20.

[0109] Exemplarily, the door shell 210 can be bonded to close the recess 340 using an adhesive, which prevents cold air from leaking from the inside of the door body 20 to the outside of the refrigerator and also prevents external dust and impurities from entering the inside of the door body 20, ensuring the cleanliness inside the door body 20 and the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator.

[0110] In some other embodiments of the present application, the door shell 210 can enclose a part of the recess 340, which can increase the error tolerance of the installation box 30. There will be certain design errors and processing errors between the door shell 210 and the installation box 30, and the door shell 210 can be installed into the recess 340 of the installation box 30. This improves the flexibility and reliability of the installation of the installation box 30, reduces the installation and maintenance costs of the installation box 30, and improves the production efficiency of the installation box 30.

[0111] Referring to Figure 12 As shown, the distance between the side of the sealing layer 330 facing the opening 211 and the opening 211 is less than or equal to 10 millimeters. That is to say, L2 is less than or equal to 10 millimeters, which mainly limits the width of the opening of the recess 340. Setting a larger opening distance for the recess 340 will reduce the structural strength between the door shell 210 and the installation box 30, and increase the risk of deformation and damage to the fitting portion 320 of the installation box 30. Setting a smaller opening distance for the recess 340 can ensure the strength of the installation box 30 and extend the service life of the installation box 30.
