[0042] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0043] Combined Figure 1-2 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a main control box for a refrigerator, including: a box body 100 and a metal bending member 200. One side wall of the box body 100 is an open mouth 101; one end of the metal bending member 200 is connected to the edge of the open mouth 101 and is used to fix the box body 100 on the outer shell 400 of the refrigerator; wherein, the box body 100 abuts against one side wall of the outer shell 400 of the refrigerator, and the metal bending member 200 abuts against the other side wall opposite to the outer shell 400.

[0044] Using the main control box for a refrigerator provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, one side wall of the box body 100 is mounted on the outer shell 400 of the refrigerator, such that the box body 100 abuts against one side wall of the outer shell 400, and the metal bending member 200 passes through the outer shell 400. Then, the metal bending member 200 is bent so that the metal bending member 200 abuts against the other opposite side wall of the outer shell 400, and cooperates with the box body 100 to be clamped and fixed on the outer shell 400, completing the installation of the box body 100. The operation is simple, the installation speed is faster, and no additional auxiliary tools are required, reducing the assembly cost.

[0045] Combined with Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the metal bending member is a metal sheet 210, and one end of the metal sheet 210 is fixedly connected to the box body 100. In this way, after the metal sheet 210 is bent, the contact area with the outer shell 400 of the refrigerator is larger. The box body 100 abuts against one side wall of the outer shell 400, and the metal sheet 210 abuts against the other opposite side wall of the outer shell 400, with higher connection stability. And the bending force of the metal sheet 210 is relatively small, reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0046] Combined with Figure 4 As shown, optionally, an elastic sleeve 220 is sleeved outside the metal sheet 210. In this way, the elastic sleeve 220 is sleeved outside the metal sheet 210. When the box body 100 is installed on the outer shell 400, the elastic sleeve 220 is located between the metal sheet 210 and the outer shell 400 to provide elastic buffering, and also reduces the friction between the outer shell 400 and the metal sheet 210, improving the service life of the metal sheet 210.

[0047] Optionally, the elastic sleeve 220 is made of rubber material. In this way, the elastic sleeve 220 made of rubber material has good elasticity, provides elastic buffering between the metal sheet 210 and the outer shell 400, and also reduces the friction between the outer shell 400 and the metal sheet 210.

[0048] Optionally, the box body 100 is made of metal material, and the box body 100 and the metal bending member 200 are integrally formed. In this way, since the main control box of the refrigerator needs to have a certain fire prevention performance, and the box body 100 is made of metal material, the risk of combustion is reduced. During the foaming process of the refrigerator, the foaming material is in direct contact with the box body 100 and generates a certain pressure on the box body 100. And the box body 100 made of metal material has higher strength, reducing the risk of deformation of the box body 100. The box body 100 and the metal bending member 200 are integrally formed, with higher connection strength.

[0049] It can be understood that the box body 100 and the metal bending member 200 are integrally formed by stamping.

[0050] Optionally, both the box body 100 and the metal bending part 200 are made of steel plates. In this way, the box body 100 made of steel plates has better fire resistance. Moreover, the box body 100 has higher strength, reducing the risk of the box body 100 being extruded and deformed by the foam.

[0051] Optionally, the metal sheet 210 is integrally formed with the box body 100. In this way, the connection strength between the metal sheet 210 and the box body 100 is higher, and no additional means such as welding or screw connection are required, making the connection between the metal sheet 210 and the box body 100 relatively flat.

[0052] Optionally, the thicknesses of both the metal sheet 210 and the box body 100 are greater than or equal to 0.3 mm and less than or equal to 0.8 mm. In this way, when the thicknesses of both the metal sheet 210 and the box body 100 are less than 0.3 mm, the thicknesses of the metal sheet 210 and the box body 100 are relatively thin. During the foaming operation, the risk of the box body 100 being extruded and deformed by the foaming material is relatively high, and the force required to bend the metal sheet 210 is relatively small, resulting in a relatively high risk of the box body 100 falling off the outer shell 400. When the thicknesses of both the metal sheet 210 and the box body 100 are greater than 0.8 mm, the overall weight of the box body 100 and the metal sheet 210 is relatively heavy, the material cost of manufacturing is relatively high, and the force required to bend the metal sheet 210 is relatively large, reducing the assembly efficiency. Therefore, it can be seen that the range where the thicknesses of both the metal sheet 210 and the box body 100 are greater than or equal to 0.3 mm and less than or equal to 0.8 mm is relatively reasonable, the risk of the box body 100 being extruded and deformed by the foaming material is relatively low, the risk of the box body 100 falling off the outer shell 400 is relatively low, and the material cost can also be reduced and the assembly efficiency can be improved.

[0053] Specifically, the thicknesses of both the metal sheet 210 and the box body 100 are equal to 0.5 mm. In this way, the box body 100 has relatively high strength, and the risk of the box body 100 being extruded and deformed by the foaming material is relatively low. The force required to bend the metal sheet 210 is relatively large, and when the box body 100 is assembled to the outer shell 400, the risk of falling off the outer shell 400 is relatively low. The material cost of the metal sheet 210 and the box body 100 is relatively low.

[0054] Combined with Figure 5 As shown in the figure, optionally, a flange 110 is provided at the mouth edge of the box body 100, and the metal bending part 200 is fixedly connected to the flange 110. In this way, when the box body 100 is installed on the outer shell 400, the flange 110 abuts against the outer shell 400, and the abutting area is relatively large, so the sealing performance is better. Moreover, during the foaming process, the foaming material generates a certain pressure on the box body 100, and the pressure received by the box body 100 will be transmitted to the outer shell 400. Since the contact area between the flange 110 and the outer shell 400 is relatively large, the force received by the outer shell 400 can be dispersed, reducing the risk of the outer shell 400 being extruded and deformed.

[0055] Specifically, the metal sheet 210 is fixedly connected to the edge plate 110. In this way, the edge plate 110 and the metal sheet 210 are fixedly connected. When the box body 100 is installed on the outer shell 400, after the metal sheet 210 is bent, it clamps the outer shell 400 together with the edge plate 110, and the connection stability is higher.

[0056] Optionally, the metal sheet 210 is perpendicular to the edge plate 110. In this way, the metal sheet 210 arranged perpendicular to the edge plate 110 can pass through the outer shell 400 more accurately, improving the assembly efficiency.

[0057] Optionally, there is a notch 120 on the edge plate 110, and the metal sheet 210 is fixedly connected to the notch 120. In this way, the box body 100, the edge plate 110 and the metal sheet 210 are integrally formed by stamping. After the metal sheet 210 is formed by stamping at the notch 120, it can be bent to be perpendicular to the edge plate 110. Before the metal sheet 210 is bent to be perpendicular to the edge plate 110, the metal sheet 210 can be retracted into the notch 120, reducing the material size and material cost of the integral molding of the box body 100, the edge plate 110 and the metal sheet 210.

[0058] Optionally, the width of the notch 120 is greater than or equal to the width of the metal sheet 210. In this way, when the width of the notch 120 is less than the width of the metal sheet 210, the material size requirement for integral molding is large and the cost is high. When the width of the notch 120 is equal to the width of the metal sheet 210, the metal sheet 210 can be directly formed by cutting the edge plate 110, and the manufacturing is relatively simple. When the width of the notch 120 is greater than the width of the metal sheet 210, there is a gap between the side edge of the metal sheet 210 and the inner side edge of the notch 120. During the process of bending the metal sheet 210, the risk of interference between the metal sheet 210 and the edge plate 110 is low, reducing the risk of deformation of the edge plate 110 caused by bending the metal sheet 210.

[0059] In one embodiment, there is an indicating line on the metal sheet 210, and the distance between the indicating line and the edge plate 110 is equal to the thickness of the outer shell 400. In this way, when the metal sheet 210 passes through the outer shell 400, it can be judged whether the metal sheet 210 is inserted to the specified position according to the indicating line, and then the bending of the metal sheet 210 can be assisted to clamp and fix the outer shell 400 by the box body 100 and the metal sheet 210.

[0060] In another embodiment, there are scales on the metal sheet 210. In this way, according to the different wall thicknesses of the outer shell 400, corresponding to different scale positions. When the metal sheet 210 passes through the outer shell 400, it can be judged whether the metal sheet 210 is inserted to the specified position according to the scale line, and then the bending of the metal sheet 210 can be assisted to clamp and fix the outer shell 400 by the box body 100 and the metal sheet 210.

[0061] Optionally, antioxidant coatings are provided on both the surface of the box body 100 and the metal bending member 200. In this way, the antioxidant coatings isolate the box body 100 and the metal bending member 200 from contact with the outside air, thereby increasing the service life of the box body 100 and the metal bending member 200.

[0062] Optionally, the antioxidant coating includes: a galvanized layer and / or paint. In this way, by galvanizing and / or spraying paint on the surfaces of the box body 100 and the metal bending member 200, the box body 100 and the metal bending member 200 are isolated from contact with the outside air, thereby increasing the service life of the box body 100 and the metal bending member 200.

[0063] Optionally, a plurality of metal bending members 200 are provided and are uniformly arranged at the rims of two opposite sides of the box body 100. In this way, the plurality of metal bending members 200 are at the rims of two opposite sides of the box body 100. When the box body 100 is installed on the outer shell 400, the connection span is larger and the connection stability is higher.

[0064] Optionally, four metal bending members 200 are provided. In this way, the four metal bending members 200 are at the rims of two opposite sides of the box body 100, and two metal bending members 200 are provided at the rim of each side. When the box body 100 is installed on the outer shell 400, the connection span is larger and the connection stability is higher.

[0065] Optionally, a reinforcing member 300 is provided on the bottom side wall of the box body 100. In this way, the structural strength of the bottom side wall of the box body 100 is increased by the reinforcing member 300, and the risk of the box body 100 being deformed by the foaming material during the foaming process is reduced.

[0066] Optionally, the reinforcing member 300 is a reinforcing rib groove 310. In this way, the structural strength of the bottom side wall of the box body 100 is increased by the reinforcing rib groove 310, and the risk of the box body 100 being deformed by the foaming material during the foaming process is reduced. Moreover, the reinforcing rib groove 310 can be integrally stamped, and the production is relatively simple.

[0067] Optionally, a plurality of reinforcing rib grooves 310 are provided, and some of the reinforcing rib grooves 310 are vertically arranged with respect to another part of the reinforcing rib grooves 310. In this way, the plurality of reinforcing rib grooves 310 can be arranged in a grid pattern on the bottom side wall of the box body 100, further increasing the structural strength of the bottom side wall of the box body 100 and reducing the risk of the box body 100 being deformed by the foaming material during the foaming process.

[0068] Optionally, a plurality of wire harness holes 130 are provided on the box body 100. In this way, since a main control board needs to be installed inside the box body 100, the wire harness on the main control board can pass through the plurality of wire harness holes 130 and be threaded to the outside of the box body 100 to be electrically connected to other components of the refrigerator, and the operation is relatively simple.

[0069] Specifically, there are three wire harness holes 130. In this way, since the main control board needs to be installed inside the box body 100, the wire harness on the main control board can pass through the three wire harness holes 130 and be threaded to the outside of the box body 100 to be electrically connected to other components of the refrigerator, which is relatively simple to operate.

[0070] Combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, optionally, a rubber plug 140 is inserted into each wire harness hole 130, and the rubber plug 140 is used for threading the wire harness. In this way, while threading the wire harness, the wire harness hole 130 is sealed by the rubber plug 140, reducing the risk of the foaming material entering the inside of the box body 100.

[0071] In some embodiments, the refrigerator includes: the main control box for the refrigerator in the above embodiment.

[0072] When using the refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the refrigerator includes the main control box for the refrigerator in the above embodiment, one side wall of the box body 100 is installed on the outer shell 400 of the refrigerator, so that the box body 100 abuts against one side wall of the outer shell 400, and the metal bending part 200 passes through the outer shell 400. Then the metal bending part 200 is bent so that the metal bending part 200 abuts against the other opposite side wall of the outer shell 400 and is clamped and fixed on the outer shell 400 in cooperation with the box body 100, completing the installation of the box body 100. The operation is simple, the installation speed is faster, and no additional auxiliary tools are required, reducing the assembly cost.

[0073] Combined with Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, optionally, the refrigerator further includes: an outer shell 400. The outer shell 400 is provided with an installation hole 401 through which the metal bending part 200 can penetrate. In this way, the metal bending part 200 passes through the installation hole 401, the box body 100 abuts against the outer shell 400, and then the metal bending part 200 is bent to fix the box body 100 on the outer shell 400. The installation is relatively convenient and the installation speed is relatively fast. Moreover, the installation hole 401 provides a limit for the metal bending part 200, reducing the risk of relative sliding between the metal bending part 200 and the outer shell, and reducing the risk of relative sliding between the outer shell 400 and the box body 100.

[0074] Optionally, the outer shell 400 is provided with a docking hole 402, and the docking hole 402 corresponds to the position of the box body 100. In this way, when the box body 100 is installed on the outer shell 400, the main control board can be installed inside the box body 100 through the docking hole 402, without pre-installing the main control board in advance, making the installation more flexible.

[0075] Optionally, there are multiple mounting holes 401, and each mounting hole 401 is correspondingly arranged with a metal bending piece 200. In this way, multiple mounting holes 401 correspond to multiple metal bending pieces 200, and the mounting holes 401 provide limits for the metal bending pieces 200, reducing the risk of relative sliding between the metal bending pieces 200 and the housing, and reducing the risk of relative sliding between the outer housing 400 and the box body 100.

[0076] Specifically, the metal sheet 210 penetrates through the mounting hole 401. In this way, the metal sheet 210 passes through the mounting hole 401, the box body 100 abuts against the outer housing 400, and then the metal sheet 210 is bent to fix the box body 100 on the outer housing 400, which is relatively convenient for installation.

[0077] Specifically, multiple mounting holes 401 are evenly arranged on both sides of the docking hole 402.

[0078] Specifically, there are four mounting holes 401.

[0079] Combined with Figure 10 As shown, optionally, the outer housing 400 includes: a first outer plate 410 and a second outer plate 420. The first outer plate 410 is fixedly connected to the second outer plate 420, and the first outer plate 410 is perpendicular to the second outer plate 420; wherein, the mounting hole 401 is provided on the first outer plate 410. In this way, the metal sheet 210 passes through the mounting hole 401, the box body 100 abuts against the first outer plate 410, and then the metal sheet 210 is bent to fix the box body 100 on the first outer plate 410, which is relatively convenient for installation.

[0080] Specifically, there are two second outer plates 420, which are respectively fixedly connected to two opposite side edges of the first outer plate 410. In this way, the two second outer plates 420 and one first outer plate 410 form a U shape, and the box body 100 is installed in the interval between the two second outer plates 420, so that the opening 101 of the box body 100 faces away from the interval between the two second outer plates 420, which is convenient for installing the main control board in the box body 100.

[0081] Specifically, a docking hole 402 is provided on the first outer plate 410. In this way, when the box body 100 is installed on the outer housing 400, the main control board can be installed in the box body 100 through the docking hole 402 without pre-installing the main control board in advance, and the installation is more flexible.

[0082] Optionally, when the edge plate 110 abuts against a side wall of the outer housing 400, a sealing strip 500 is provided at the junction of the edge plate 110 and the outer housing 400. In this way, by attaching the sealing strip 500 to the junction of the edge plate 110 and the outer housing 400, the risk of foaming material entering the box body 100 during the foaming process is reduced.
