Detailed implementation manners

[0022] The following refers to Figures 1 to 5 Describe in detail the freezer 100 according to the embodiments of the present application.

[0023] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 And Figure 3 shown, which shows the internal and external structures of the freezer 100. The freezer 100 is a vertical freezer with a single refrigerating compartment inside, and its overall shape is rectangular. Users can store items at low temperature in the refrigerating compartment.

[0024] The freezer 100 includes a vertical cabinet body 1 that can be supported on the ground and a cabinet door 2 assembled on the front side of the vertical cabinet body 1.

[0025] The cabinet body 1 includes an outer shell 11 and an inner liner 12 located inside the outer shell 11. The inner liner 12 is usually composed of one or more shells. Foaming material (not shown in the figure) is filled between the inner liner 12 and the outer shell 11, and the foaming material can play a good heat preservation role for the inner liner 12. The inner side of the inner liner 12 defines a refrigerating compartment 14 for storing items. The refrigerating compartment 14 has a front opening 140.

[0026] The cabinet door 2 is usually a heat-insulating cabinet door, which is pivotally connected to the front of the cabinet body 1. The cabinet door 2 can close and open the front opening 140 from the front side of the vertical cabinet body 1, so that users can take items from the refrigerating compartment 14 or store items to be refrigerated in the refrigerating compartment 14.

[0027] In this example, the refrigerating compartment 14 is divided into an upper refrigerating area 141 and a lower refrigerating area 142 that are vertically connected. The upper refrigerating area 141 is an open area and one or more layers of storage racks 15 can be arranged in this area; the lower refrigerating area 142 is provided with a plurality of storage drawers 16 distributed from top to bottom. Users can choose to place the items to be refrigerated on the storage rack 15 or store the items to be refrigerated in the storage drawer 16.

[0028] In the vertical cabinet body 1 of the freezer 100, a refrigeration system (not shown in the figure) for providing cooling capacity to the refrigerating compartment is also installed; the refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and a throttling device; except for the evaporator, the rest are usually installed in the lower part of the vertical cabinet body 1. The compressor, the condenser, the throttling device, and the evaporator are sequentially fluidly connected to form a refrigeration circuit for the refrigerant circulation of the refrigeration system.

[0029] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the cabinet door 2 includes a door body 21 and a door handle assembly 22 fixedly connected to the top of the door body 21. The door body 221 is a foamed door body. The door handle assembly 22 includes a door handle main body 221, a display panel 222 arranged on the door handle main body 221, a control circuit board 223, and a control board rear cover 224.

[0031] The door handle main body 221 defines a receiving cavity 226. This receiving cavity 226 has a front window 227 located in the middle of the front part of the door handle main body 221. The display panel 222 is located in the receiving cavity 226 and is exposed from the front window 227.

[0032] The control circuit board 223 is installed in the receiving cavity 226 and is electrically connected to the display panel 222. The control board rear cover 224 is fixed to the rear part of the door handle main body 221 by a plurality of threaded fasteners (not shown in the figure) and is used to close the receiving cavity 226 from the rear side direction.

[0033] In this example, the door handle main body 221 is composed of one or more injection molded parts. In some embodiments, in order to strengthen the strength of the door handle body 221, a metal reinforcing member (not shown in the figure) can also be embedded in the door handle body 221.

[0034] A plug-in part 228 is provided at the lower part of the door handle main body 221. The door body 21 is a foamed door body and has a receiving cavity 211 at the top. The plug-in part 228 is placed in the receiving cavity 211.

[0035] Continuing as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the vertical cabinet body 1 has a top surface 101. The door handle main body 221 has an upper surface 2211 at the rear side of the convex part 225, and the top surface 101 is flush with the upper surface 2211 front and back.

[0036] The door body 21 has a first front surface 212, and the door handle main body 221 has a second front surface 2212. The first front surface 212 and the second front surface 2212 are flush with each other vertically. In this example, the door body 21 and the door handle main body 221 have the same width measured in the left-right direction.

[0037] The technical scope of this application is not limited to the content in the above specification. Those skilled in the art can make various deformations and modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the technical idea of this application, and these deformations and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of this application.
