[0040] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0041] The baffle of the embodiment of the present utility model is used for a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a cabinet 600. The cabinet 600 is placed on an installation plane, which can be the upper surface of structures such as a floor or a support table. The cabinet 600 can be directly placed or installed on the installation plane.

[0042] The baffle 100 is arranged in the gap between the cabinet 600 and the installation plane. For example, the bottom of the cabinet 600 can be provided with support feet or rollers, so that there will be a certain interval space between the bottom side of the cabinet 600 and the installation plane. This interval space is the gap. The baffle 100 is assembled at this gap, so that the baffle 100 can be used to shield and protect the gap.

[0043] A plurality of through holes 11 for allowing air flow to pass through are formed on the baffle 100. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the baffle 100 can be integrally in a long strip shape. The baffle 100 can extend along the left - right direction, and the plurality of through holes 11 can be arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the baffle 100. During use, the through holes 11 on the baffle 100 can allow air flow to pass through, thus meeting the use requirements of the refrigerator for gas exchange or ventilation through the gap.

[0044] The baffle 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model can block the gap between the box body 600 and the installation plane, thus avoiding the situation that foreign objects easily enter the gap. When gas exchange such as heat exchange needs to be carried out through the gap, due to the blocking effect of the baffle 100, the situation that air inlets, air outlets and other air vents are easily blocked by foreign objects is also avoided, thereby ensuring the ventilation and heat dissipation effect of the refrigerator and being beneficial to the long-term stable operation of the refrigerator. In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the baffle 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model includes a plate body 1 and an installation part 2.

[0045] The plate body 1 is arranged in the gap between the refrigerator and the installation plane to block foreign objects, and the plate body 1 is provided with a plurality of through holes 11 for air flow to pass through. For example, the plate body 1 can be in the shape of a rectangular plate, and a plurality of through holes 11 can be provided on the plate body 1, and the plurality of through holes 11 can be arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the plate body 1.

[0046] The installation part 2 is located on the side of the plate body close to the box body 600, and the installation part 2 connects the plate body 1 and the box body 600. For example, the material of the baffle 100 can be plastic, etc., and the installation part 2 can be integrally formed on the top side of the plate body 1 by injection molding. In some other embodiments, the installation part 2 can be arranged at the end, bottom side, etc. of the plate body 1, and its installation method is not limited.

[0047] Such as Figure 1 As shown, the baffle 100 can be in a long strip shape. During assembly, the baffle 100 can be fixed to the bottom side of the box body 600 through the installation part 2, and the plate body 1 is arranged substantially vertically and can block one side of the gap, thus avoiding the situation that foreign objects enter the gap and playing a role in blocking foreign objects. The through holes 11 on the plate body 1 can allow air flow to pass through, thus meeting the use requirements of the refrigerator for gas exchange or ventilation through the gap.

[0048] In some other embodiments, the installation part 2 can also be connected and fixed to the installation plane. For example, the installation part 2 can be fixed to the structure by bonding. In some other embodiments, the installation plane can also be the surface of structural components such as the cavity wall, cabinet body, etc.

[0049] In some embodiments, the baffle 100 includes an abutting part 3, the plate body 1 is connected between the installation part 2 and the abutting part 3, the installation part 2 is used for connecting with the refrigerator, and the abutting part 3 is used for abutting against the installation plane.

[0050] For example, as Figure 1 As shown, the abutting part 3 can also be integrally formed on the baffle 100 by injection molding. Specifically, the installation part 2, the plate body 1 and the abutting part 3 can all be in a long strip shape, the plate body 1 can be arranged substantially vertically in the left-right direction, the installation part 2 can be integrally formed on the top side of the plate body 1, and the abutting part 3 can be integrally formed on the bottom side of the plate body 1.

[0051] During assembly, the installation part 2 can be directly connected and fixed to the refrigerator, while the abutting part 3 can abut against the surface of the floor or the like, thus fully ensuring the effectiveness of blocking the gap.

[0052] In some embodiments, the hardness of the abutting part 3 is less than that of the installation part 2. For example, the abutting part 3 can be processed from a soft material, and the installation part 2 can be processed from a hard material. Thus, the abutting part 3 can be made relatively soft, thereby avoiding the situation of easy scratching when contacting the structure or the refrigerator, and playing a protective role for the structure or the refrigerator. And the texture of the installation part 2 is hard, which can ensure the structural flatness and installation firmness during installation, thus fully meeting the use requirements of installation.

[0053] In some embodiments, the hardness of the abutting part 3 is less than that of the plate body 1. For example, the material of the plate body 1 can be the same as that of the above-mentioned installation part 2, while the abutting part 3 can be processed and formed from a softer material, thereby ensuring that the plate body 1 has good structural stability, and further fully meeting the use requirements of blocking foreign objects.

[0054] In some embodiments, the materials of the abutting part 3, the plate body 1, and the installation part 2 are all plastics. Specifically, both the plate body 1 and the installation part 2 can be processed and formed from hard plastics, and the abutting part 3 can be processed from soft plastics. During processing, the baffle 100 can be processed by a co-extrusion method of hard and soft plastics, thus facilitating processing and production.

[0055] In some embodiments, both the installation part 2 and the abutting part 3 extend along the extending direction of the plate body 1. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the plate body 1, the installation part 2, and the abutting part 3 can all be strip-shaped or long-strip-shaped, and the plate body 1, the installation part 2, and the abutting part 3 can all extend along the left-right direction, wherein the installation part 2 can extend along the top edge of the plate body 1, and the abutting part 3 can extend along the bottom edge of the plate body 1, thus fully meeting the effect of blocking the gap along the extending direction of the plate body 1.

[0056] In some embodiments, the thickness dimension of the installation part 2 is not less than that of the plate body 1. For example, the installation part 2 can be generally horizontally arranged, the thickness dimension of the installation part 2 can be the dimension in the up-down direction, the plate body 1 can be generally vertically arranged, and the thickness dimension of the plate body 1 can be the dimension in the front-back direction. Thus, the installation part 2 can have a relatively large thickness, so that the installation part 2 has high structural strength and structural stability, fully meeting the use requirements of the installation and fixation of the installation part 2.

[0057] In some embodiments, the thickness dimension of the mounting portion 2 is not less than that of the abutting portion 3. Thereby, it can also enhance the structural strength of the mounting portion 2 and the soft characteristics of the abutting portion 3.

[0058] In some embodiments, a plurality of through holes 11 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the plate body 1, and each through hole 11 extends along the width direction of the plate body 1. For example, as Figure 1 shown, a plurality of through holes 11 can be arranged at equal intervals along the left - right direction, and each through hole 11 can be a long hole, and each through hole 11 can extend along the up - down direction. This narrow and long structural design of the through holes 11 not only meets the use requirement of blocking foreign objects but also meets the use requirement of ventilation.

[0059] Optionally, the width dimension (the dimension in the left - right direction) of the through hole 11 does not exceed 1 m. For example, the width dimension of the through hole 11 can be 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1 cm, etc., thereby fully meeting the use requirement of blocking foreign objects.

[0060] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 2 is detachably connected to the box body 600, thereby facilitating the installation and disassembly of the baffle and improving the convenience of use.

[0061] In some other embodiments, the mounting portion 2 can also be detachably connected to the plate body 1, so that the baffle 100 can be processed and formed in a split manner, improving the convenience of processing, and also enabling the baffle 100 to be installed and fixed in different ways by matching different types of mounting portions 2. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 2 is connected to the refrigerator by means of threaded connection. For example, the mounting portion 2 is provided with a plurality of assembly holes 21 for the fasteners to pass through. The fasteners can be screws, etc. As Figure 1 shown, the mounting portion 2 can be provided with a plurality of assembly holes 21, each assembly hole 21 penetrates the mounting portion 2 along the up - down direction, and the plurality of assembly holes 21 can be arranged at equal intervals along the left - right direction. During assembly, each assembly hole 21 can allow the fasteners to pass through, thus ensuring the structural stability of the assembly.

[0062] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 2 is magnetically connected to the refrigerator. For example, magnets can be provided on the mounting portion 2. During installation, the mounting portion 2 can be directly magnetically fixed to the refrigerator, thereby facilitating installation and disassembly.

[0063] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 2 is snap - fitted and fixed to the refrigerator. For example, the refrigerator can be provided with a card slot, and the mounting portion 2 can be directly snapped and fixed in the card slot.

[0064] The refrigerator according to the embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

[0065] The refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a baffle, and the baffle can be the baffle 100 described in any of the above embodiments. The refrigerator further includes a cabinet 600 and a door 700. The cabinet 600 can be directly placed on an installation plane, and a refrigerating compartment is constructed inside the cabinet 600, thereby meeting the usage requirements of refrigeration and freezing. The door 700 can be rotatably assembled on the cabinet 600, and the refrigerating compartment can be covered by the door 700.

[0066] In some embodiments, the cabinet 600 has a front face 200, and the baffle 100 is disposed at the bottom of the refrigerator and adjacent to the front face 200. For example, as Figures 2 to 6 shown, the front face 200 can be the side of the cabinet 600 where the door 700 is provided, specifically the front side face of the refrigerator. The baffle 100 can be fixed to the bottom side of the refrigerator through the mounting portion 2 and can be disposed adjacent to the front edge of the refrigerator. Since the refrigerator is usually placed at corners, edges and other positions, the baffle 100 is disposed at a position closer to the front of the refrigerator, which fully meets the usage requirement of blocking the gap at the bottom side of the refrigerator, thereby avoiding the situation that foreign objects enter the gap at the bottom side of the refrigerator.

[0067] In some embodiments, a retaining wall 300, an air inlet hole 400 for heat dissipation and an air outlet hole 500 are provided at the bottom of the refrigerator. At least part of the retaining wall 300 is disposed between the air inlet and the air outlet hole 500, and the baffle 100 abuts against the end of the retaining wall 300 facing the front face 200.

[0068] For example, as Figures 4 to 6 shown, the retaining wall 300 can be L-shaped. The material of the retaining wall 300 can be metal, plastic, etc. A heat dissipation device can be provided at the bottom of the refrigerator. The heat dissipation device is air-cooled heat dissipation. The heat dissipation device is provided with an air inlet hole 400 and an air outlet hole 500. Both the air inlet hole 400 and the air outlet hole 500 face the bottom side of the refrigerator. Among them, a plurality of air inlets are provided and can be located in the left half of the refrigerator, and a plurality of air outlets can also be provided and can be located in the right half of the refrigerator.

[0069] The retaining wall 300 can include two first wall segments and a second wall segment that are vertically arranged. The first wall segment can extend along the left-right direction and can be disposed adjacent to the rear edge of the refrigerator. The second wall segment can extend along the front-rear direction and can be along the middle of the bottom side of the refrigerator, and the second wall segment can be located between the air inlet hole 400 and the air outlet hole 500. The second wall segment can play a role in separating the air inlet hole 400 and the air outlet hole 500, avoiding mutual disturbance and interference of airflows.

[0070] The baffle 100 can be installed at the front side of the bottom of the refrigerator. The baffle 100 can extend along the left-right direction, and the rear side of the baffle 100 can abut against the second wall segment or have a very small spacing. Thereby ensuring the structural stability of the assembly of the baffle 100.

[0071] The refrigerator can be an embedded type. For example, when the refrigerator is placed, it can be placed in the space between two cabinet panels, and both the left and right sides of the refrigerator can abut against or have a relatively small spacing from the corresponding cabinet panels. At this time, due to the blocking of the cabinet panels, the air flow can only circulate from the front side of the gap at the bottom side of the refrigerator, and setting the baffle 100 at the front side of the gap can play a role in blocking foreign objects. Furthermore, through the through holes 11 on the baffle 100, the air intake and exhaust requirements of the heat dissipation device are also met.

[0072] In some embodiments, one end of the baffle 100 facing away from the cabinet 600 is bent towards the front face 200 of the cabinet 600. This is convenient for generating a large frictional and pressure effect with the ground or the like when the baffle 100 is impacted by foreign objects from the outside, thus fully meeting the usage requirement of resisting foreign object impacts and improving the blocking effect of the baffle 100 on foreign objects. Exemplarily, in the present application, it can be that the abutting portion 3 is bent towards the front face 200 relative to the plate body 1.

[0073] Although the above embodiments have been shown and described, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the above embodiments are within the protection scope of the present invention.
