Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inner shell light strips, in particular to a vertical light strip structure inside a built-in refrigerator. Background Art
[0002] The inner shell light strip is an important part of the refrigerator's internal lighting system. It is usually installed in the groove of the inner shell or a special light strip groove to illuminate the storage space inside the refrigerator, making it easier for users to find and take food. The mainstream inner shell light strips on the market currently use LED technology because LED lights have the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection, and long life. The LED light strips emit light evenly, the light is soft and not dazzling, and can illuminate the interior of the refrigerator well. At the same time, the LED light strips have low power consumption and will not generate excessive heat after long-term use, which is conducive to energy saving and extending the service life of the refrigerator. The inner shell light strip is usually installed in a position that can illuminate the entire storage space when the refrigerator door is opened, such as the top, side or bottom of the refrigerator or freezer. The specific installation location may vary depending on the refrigerator model and design. There are two main ways to install the light strip: embedded and adhesive. The embedded light strip requires a light strip groove to be reserved in the inner shell in advance, and then the light strip is embedded in the groove and fixed. The adhesive light strip is directly attached to the inner shell with double-sided tape or special buckles.
[0003] The installation of light strips in traditional refrigerators requires cutting grooves on the inner wall before installing the light strips. The installed light strips not only need to be sealed at the connection with the inner wall, but the filling layer inside the refrigerator needs to be filled in different ways according to the position of the light strips. At the same time, when the light strips are replaced, the sealing and filling layers need to be refilled because the back of the light strips and the wires will adhere to the filling layer. Removing the light strips will cause gaps in the filling layer, reducing the insulation effect of the refrigerator. Utility Model Content

[0015] (III) Beneficial effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model provides an embedded vertical light strip structure inside the refrigerator, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The vertical strip light structure on the inner side of the built-in refrigerator forms a strip light groove by directly stamping on the inner shell. This method eliminates the need for additional installation structures or frames inside the refrigerator, reducing the number of components. When the strip light needs to be replaced, it can be simply pulled out upward from the opening of the strip light groove without disassembling or damaging other parts of the refrigerator, such as the insulation layer or the condensing tube system. This design greatly simplifies the repair process, reduces the time and labor costs required for maintenance, and avoids potential damage to the internal structure of the refrigerator during repair. The design of the strip light groove fully considers the integrity of the refrigerator structure. The bottom plate of the lower part of the groove opening ensures the sealing of the bottom of the strip light groove, preventing the leakage of cold air inside the refrigerator and the intrusion of external heat, improving the energy efficiency ratio of the refrigerator and extending its service life. The design of the vertical strip light can provide a more uniform and soft lighting effect, making the items inside the refrigerator more clearly visible. At the same time, the ingenious design of the strip light groove makes the installation and replacement of the strip light simple and fast, reducing the inconvenience caused by maintenance. Moreover, the inner shell is made by stamping, with high processing efficiency. The foam filling layer only needs to be filled on the outer side of the inner wall, and the refrigerator can be assembled quickly, making it suitable for large-scale production and processing.
[0018] 2. The vertical strip light structure on the inner side of the built-in refrigerator forms a depression on the side of the strip light groove through secondary stamping, making the opening of the strip light groove no longer a simple straight structure but a structure with certain guiding and restraining properties. The support frame on the strip light closely fits with the wall surface of this depression, thus enhancing the fixation of the strip light in the strip light groove. Since the opening of the strip light groove is in a shape that converges towards the center and the side of the strip light is provided with a matching support frame, during installation, the strip light only needs to be gently pushed along the opening direction, and the support frame can automatically snap into the wall surface of the depression, achieving rapid installation.

[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , an embedded vertical light strip structure on the inner side of the refrigerator, including a light strip groove 111 and a light strip 102. The outer side of the inner shell 11 of the refrigerator 1 is filled with heat insulation material and provided with a condensation pipe. The light strip 102 is arranged in the light strip groove 111. The light strip groove 111 is a strip-shaped depression formed by stamping the inner shell 11 outward and opening inward. The upper opening of the formed light strip groove 111 communicates with the external space of the inner shell 11. The upper part of the light strip 102 extends out of the upper opening of the light strip groove 111 and is connected to the refrigerator circuit. The light strip grooves 111 are respectively arranged on both sides of the inner shell 11 of the refrigerator 1. The light strip grooves 111 are vertically arranged in the middle of the inner wall on the side of the refrigerator 1. The bottom plate 112 is arranged at the lower notch position of the light strip groove 111, so that the bottom of the light strip groove 111 is closed. The light strip 102 in the light strip groove 111 is placed downward from the upper opening and is limited by the bottom plate 112.
[0028] By arranging the light strip groove 111 on the inner shell 11, and the light strip groove 111 is formed by stamping the inner shell 11, when filling the refrigerator filling layer, only the outer side of the inner shell 11 needs to be filled. If the light strip 102 is damaged, it only needs to be taken out upward along the light strip groove 111 for replacement, without filling the inner shell 11 seal and the filling layer. At the same time, a notch for power line connection is left, which is more convenient for subsequent installation, improves the processing efficiency and reduces the maintenance cost.
[0029] Vertical installation strips 101 are respectively arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the inner shell 11. The partition of the refrigerator 1 is assembled in layers through the installation strips 101. The installation strips 101 are divided into front and rear sections. The light strip groove 111 passes through the middle of the installation strips 101.
[0030] The disconnection of the installation strip 101 at the position of the light strip groove 111 ensures that the light strip 102 can emit light without obstruction, thereby providing a uniform and bright lighting effect. This design enables every corner inside the refrigerator to be fully illuminated, improving the visual comfort.
[0031] The side of the light strip groove 111 is stamped twice, and an inward limiting protrusion is formed at the corner connection between the light strip groove 111 and the inner shell 11. Elastic support strips are provided on both sides of the light strip 102. The inner width of the light strip 102 is smaller than the width of the limiting protrusion position of the light strip groove 111, and the width of the support strip position of the light strip 102 is larger than the width of the limiting protrusion position of the light strip groove 111; when the light strip 102 is installed, the inner side of the light strip 102 is pressed toward the inside of the light strip groove 111, and the support strip of the light strip 102 is deformed inward and passes through the limiting protrusion position of the light strip groove 111. When the support strip of the light strip 102 enters the inner side of the light strip groove 111, it is re-expanded to fasten the light strip 102 in the light strip groove 111.
[0032] See Figures 5-6 By secondary stamping, a depression is formed on the side of the light strip groove 111, so that the opening of the light strip groove is no longer a simple flat structure, but has a certain guiding and restraining force. The support frame on the light strip 102 fits tightly with the recessed wall, thereby enhancing the fixation of the light strip in the light strip groove. Since the opening of the light strip groove 111 is convergent toward the center, and a matching support frame is provided on the side of the light strip 102, during installation, you only need to gently push the light strip in along the opening direction, and the support frame can automatically fit into the recessed wall, realizing quick installation.
[0033] The bottom of the refrigerator 1 is provided with a stepped elevation, and the elevation does not block the light strip groove 111 .
[0034] Working principle: The installation of the light strip 102 in a traditional refrigerator requires cutting a groove on the inner wall and then installing the light strip 102. The installed light strip 102 not only needs to be sealed at the connection with the inner wall, but the filling layer inside the refrigerator 1 needs to be filled with different methods according to the position of the light strip 102. At the same time, when the light strip 102 is replaced, the sealing and filling layers need to be refilled, because the back of the light strip 102 and the wires will adhere to the filling layer. Removing the light strip 102 will cause gaps in the filling layer, reducing the insulation effect of the refrigerator 1. The device is provided with a light strip groove 111 on the inner shell 11, and the light strip groove 111 is stamped by the inner shell 11. When filling the refrigerator filling layer, it only needs to be filled on the outside of the inner shell 11. If the light strip 102 is damaged, it only needs to be removed upward along the light strip groove 111 for replacement. There is no need to fill the sealing and filling layer of the inner shell 11. At the same time, a gap is left for the connection of the power supply line, which is more convenient in subsequent installation, improves processing efficiency and reduces maintenance costs.
