Any size is only exemplary and not limiting. In addition, the same structural objects, elements, or fittings that appear in more than two figures are labeled with the same reference numerals to reflect similar features.
[0019] An embodiment of this application discloses a support device for the return air pipe of a refrigerator, including an elastic shock-absorbing member 1, a buckle 2, and a socket 3. A hole groove 102 is provided on one side of the top of the elastic shock-absorbing member 1, a socket 3 is arranged on the top of the hole groove 102, a plurality of clamping holes 301 are equidistantly arranged on one side of the socket 3, a buckle 2 is installed on one side of the top of the elastic shock-absorbing member 1, a plug 201 is installed at one end of the buckle 2, a clamping block 202 is arranged on one side of the plug 201, and a base 4 is arranged at the bottom of the elastic shock-absorbing member 1.
[0020] The implementation principle of the embodiments of this application is as follows: The base 4 is made of high-strength engineering plastics and has good structural strength. During use, the elastic shock absorber 1 and the base 4 are installed on the installation path of the return air pipe inside the refrigerator using screws or glue. The return air pipe is passed through the buckle 2, and the buckle 2 is pressed down so that the plug 201 and the block 202 are inserted into the socket 3. The locking and fixing of the return air pipe are completed through the cooperation with the card hole 301. When disassembling, the block 202 is held to make the block 202 disengage from the card hole 301, and the quick installation and disassembly of the return air pipe can be achieved without complex tools, simplifying the installation process and reducing the installation difficulty and cost. During the process of fixing the return air pipe, since the elastic shock absorber 1 is located between the base 4 and the return air pipe, and the elastic shock absorber 1 is made of high-elasticity materials such as silica gel and rubber, it can effectively absorb the vibration generated during the operation of the refrigerator, protect the return air pipe from impact, ensure the stable position of the return air pipe during long-term operation, reduce the risk of position deviation and leakage, and extend the service life of the return air pipe and the entire refrigeration system.
