[0002] As people's living standards improve, the demand for ice cubes is increasing. In order to meet market needs, more and more refrigerator products are beginning to integrate ice maker components.

[0003] For the direct cooling ice maker assembly, the ice tray is cooled directly by setting a refrigeration pipe in contact with the ice tray. The refrigeration pipe needs to be connected to the refrigerator's refrigeration cycle pipeline. The refrigeration cycle pipeline is usually mostly set outside the box, and a small part enters the inside of the box to be used as the refrigeration pipe of the ice maker assembly.

[0004] In order to allow the refrigeration cycle pipeline to enter the tank, a mounting hole for the refrigeration cycle pipeline to enter is usually opened on the tank. There is a gap between the refrigeration cycle pipeline and the edge of the mounting hole, causing the refrigerant pipe to shake. Utility Model Content

[0100] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The refrigerator of the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes: a box body, a refrigeration cycle pipeline 200, a mounting plate 300 and an insulation clip 400.

[0101] The box body includes an outer shell and a box liner 100 disposed inside the outer shell, and the box liner 100 has an installation hole 110 for the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 to enter;

[0102] The outer shell and the inner chamber 100 form an installation space for installing other components of the refrigerator and forming a foam insulation layer. The interior of the inner chamber 100 forms a refrigeration chamber, that is, a cold storage room, a temperature-changing room or a freezer.

[0103] The mounting hole 110 is a hole opened on the wall of the box 100, and the mounting hole 110 is connected to the foam insulation layer. In other words, the mounting hole 110 is not an opening provided at the refrigerator door for taking in and putting in items.

[0104] The ice maker assembly 500 is disposed inside the tank 100 .

[0105] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 is arranged on the outer wall of the box 100 , and at least a portion of the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 extends into the box 100 from the installation hole 110 .

[0106] The refrigerator includes a refrigeration cycle system for cooling the refrigerator 100. The refrigeration cycle generally includes components such as a compressor, a condenser, a filter drier, a capillary tube, and an evaporator, connected via the refrigeration cycle piping 200. The refrigeration cycle operates through compression, condensation, throttling, and evaporation. Specifically, the compression process begins when the refrigerator is plugged in and the thermostat contacts are connected. Low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant from the evaporator is drawn into the compressor, compressed within the compressor cylinder into a high-temperature, high-pressure superheated gas, and then discharged into the condenser. The condensation process involves the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas dissipating heat through the condenser, causing its temperature to drop continuously. The refrigerant gradually cools to a saturated vapor at room temperature and high pressure, and then further cools to a saturated liquid, where its temperature no longer drops. The refrigerant pressure remains virtually constant throughout the condensation process. The throttling process involves the condensed, saturated refrigerant liquid passing through the filter drier to remove moisture and impurities before flowing into the capillary tube. The capillary tube throttles and reduces the pressure, transforming the refrigerant into a wet vapor at room temperature and low pressure. The evaporation process involves the wet vapor at room temperature and low pressure entering the evaporator, where it absorbs heat and vaporizes, lowering the temperature of the evaporator and its surroundings, cooling the refrigeration chamber and transforming the refrigerant into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas. The refrigerant exiting the evaporator returns to the compressor, repeating the above process. Energy conversion occurs through the refrigerant's state change, transferring heat from the refrigerator to the air outside, thus completing the refrigerator's refrigeration cycle. When the evaporator is located on the wall of the refrigeration chamber, it is a direct-cooling refrigerator; when it is located within the refrigerator's air duct, it is an air-cooling refrigerator. The above-described structural configuration and operating principles of the refrigerator refrigeration cycle system are prior art and will not be elaborated upon in this application.

[0107] The refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 is arranged on the outer wall of the cabinet 100 . The refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 can directly exchange heat with the cabinet 100 , thereby cooling the refrigeration chamber in the cabinet 100 .

[0108] A portion of the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 extends into the interior of the box 100 and is used to exchange heat for the ice maker assembly 500 .

[0109] Please refer to Figure 6 The mounting plate 300 is mounted on the outer wall of the box 100 , and a panel 310 with a passage 320 is provided on the mounting plate 300 . The panel 310 is inserted into the mounting hole 110 , and the passage 320 is for the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 to pass through.

[0110] The provision of the passage 320 enables the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 to pass through the mounting plate 300 and enter the interior of the box 100 .

[0111] In this embodiment, the enclosure 310 is sleeve-shaped, and the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 passes through the center of the channel 320. In other words, at least a portion of the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 extends from the center of the enclosure 310 into the box 100.

[0112] The insulation clamp 400 includes a first clamp 410 and a second clamp 420. The first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 are closed and arranged in the channel 320. The enclosure 310 limits the positions of the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420. The first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 also jointly clamp and wrap the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 to limit the position change of the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 at the mounting hole 110.

[0113] In this embodiment, the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 are both foam clamps, and the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 are arranged vertically. The first clamp 410, the second clamp 420 and the surrounding plate 310 restrict the position change of the refrigeration cycle pipe 200 at the installation hole 110.

[0114] The provision of the heat preservation clip 400 can play a sealing role, reduce the heat exchange between the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 and the environment outside the ice maker assembly 500, and reduce the impact of the path arrangement of the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 on the cooling capacity of the ice maker assembly 500.

[0115] In the prior art, the refrigeration cycle piping 200 is pre-installed on the ice maker 100, with a portion of the refrigeration cycle piping 200 used to cool the ice maker assembly 500. Currently, there are two installation methods: one is to install the individual components of the ice maker assembly 500 into the ice maker 100 individually, and the other is to integrate at least some of the components of the ice maker 500 into an integrated structure. In other words, the ice maker 500 is modularly installed and this integrated structure is directly installed into the ice maker 100. Both installation methods require the portion of the refrigeration cycle piping 200 used to cool the ice maker 500 to be installed in conjunction with the cooling portion of the ice maker 500, thus minimizing the shaking of the refrigeration cycle piping 200.

[0116] In the refrigerator of this embodiment, since the portion of the refrigeration cycle pipe 200 used for cooling the ice maker assembly 500 is not integrated into an integral structure with the ice maker assembly 500, the refrigeration cycle pipe 200 is pre-installed in the cabinet 100. Therefore, when installing the ice maker assembly 500, it is necessary to keep the refrigeration cycle pipe 200 from shaking, that is, to limit the position of the refrigeration cycle pipe 200 to ensure smooth installation of the ice maker assembly 500.

[0117] The installation of the mounting plate 300 and the insulation clip 400 enables the two to simultaneously limit the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200, thereby limiting the position change of the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 at the installation hole 110, and then keeping the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 from shaking, ensuring the smooth installation of the ice maker assembly 500.

[0118] During installation, the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 can be installed on the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 first, and then the first clamp 410, the second clamp 420 and the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 are inserted into the channel 320 to form a whole, and then this whole is inserted into the mounting hole 110 from the outside of the box 100 until the mounting plate 300 is installed on the outer wall of the box 100.

[0119] In the prior art, for the ice maker assembly 500 that does not have a refrigeration pipe, it is necessary to install each component of the ice maker assembly 500 including the insulation clip 400 one by one. For the ice maker assembly 500 that has a refrigeration pipe, the insulation clip 400 is integrated into the ice maker assembly 500 when the refrigeration pipe is integrated into the ice maker assembly 500. In this embodiment, since the ice maker assembly 500 requires the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 to be inserted into the ice maker assembly 500, the installation of the insulation clip 400 is inconvenient.

[0120] In this embodiment, the heat-insulating component and the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 are pre-installed on the box 100, thereby solving this problem.

[0121] In some embodiments, the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 has a positioning portion 210 , which is located between the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 . The positioning portion 210 is clamped and wrapped by the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 .

[0122] The provision of the positioning portion 210 allows a worker to determine the positions where the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 should be clamped during installation.

[0123] The positioning portion 210 is a curved pipe section on the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 . In other embodiments, it may also be configured to have other shapes to distinguish it from other portions of the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 other than the positioning portion 210 .

[0124] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 16 A first limiting boss 411 is provided on the first clamp 410, and a first matching groove 421 is provided on the second clamp 420. The first limiting boss 411 is inserted into the first matching groove 421 to limit the relative position of the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420.

[0125] When the first limiting boss 411 is inserted into the first matching groove 421, and the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 are inserted into the enclosure 310, the relative positions of the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 are restricted. Even when the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 are inserted into the channel 320, the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 will not be displaced.

[0126] There are two first limiting bosses 411 , and along the extension direction of the channel 320 , two first limiting bosses 411 are arranged at both ends of the first clamp 410 , two first matching grooves 421 are also arranged, and the second matching grooves 422 are also arranged at both ends of the second clamp 420 .

[0127] In this embodiment, the two first limiting bosses 411 also extend to both ends of the first clamp 410 , and the second matching grooves 422 also extend to both ends of the second clamp 420 .

[0128] In some embodiments, a second limiting boss 412 is provided on the first clamp 410, and a second matching groove 422 is provided on the second clamp 420. The second limiting boss 412 is inserted into the second matching groove 422. The second limiting boss 412 is provided corresponding to the positioning portion 210 to limit the relative position of the positioning portion 210 and the thermal insulation clamp 400.

[0129] The second limiting boss 412 is inserted into the second matching groove 422 to limit the position of the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 relative to the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420, thereby preventing the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 from being displaced with the first clamp 410 or the second clamp 420.

[0130] In this embodiment, since the positioning portion 210 is a curved pipe, the second limiting boss 412 is arranged at the curved pipe, and the curved pipe is allowed to surround a portion of the outer circumference of the second limiting boss 412 to form a state in which the curved pipe is hooked on the second limiting boss 412, thereby limiting the relative position of the positioning portion 210 and the insulation clip 400.

[0131] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7-11 The mounting plate 300 includes a first fixing plate 330 and a second fixing plate 340 arranged above and below. The first fixing plate 330 has a first notch 331 extending from one end to the edge thereof, and the second fixing plate 340 has a second notch 341 extending from one end to the edge thereof. The first notch 331 and the second notch 341 jointly form a fixing hole 350 for the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 to pass through. The surrounding plate 310 is arranged around the fixing hole 350, and the first notch 331 and the second notch 341 jointly clamp the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 to limit the position change of the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 at the mounting hole 110.

[0132] The first fixing plate 330 and the second fixing plate 340 are arranged one above the other, so the first notch 331 is actually arranged on the bottom edge of the first fixing plate 330 , and the second notch 341 is actually arranged on the top edge of the second fixing plate 340 .

[0133] The first fixing plate 330 and the second fixing plate 340 are arranged to cooperate with each other so that the two together form a fixing hole 350. The two together clamp the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200, allowing the two to limit the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 at the same time, thereby limiting the position change of the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 at the installation hole 110, and then keeping the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 from shaking, ensuring the smooth installation of the ice maker assembly 500.

[0134] A portion of the enclosure 310 is disposed on the first fixing plate 330 , and another portion of the enclosure 310 is disposed on the second fixing plate 340 . After the first fixing plate 330 and the second fixing plate 340 are assembled, the enclosure 310 is closed to form the channel 320 .

[0135] During installation, the first notch 331 of the first fixing plate 330 can be first set corresponding to the refrigeration circulation pipeline 200, and then the second notch 341 of the second fixing plate 340 can be respectively corresponding to the refrigeration circulation pipeline 200 and the first notch 331, and then the refrigeration circulation pipeline 200 with the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 installed can be inserted into the installation hole 110 from the outside of the box 100 until the first fixing plate 330 and the second fixing plate 340 are installed on the outer wall of the box 100.

[0136] The first fixing plate 330 is provided with a limiting portion 332 . The limiting portion 332 is provided at a portion of the edge of the first fixing plate 330 . The limiting portion 332 is hung on the outer wall of the box 100 .

[0137] The ice maker assembly 500 is disposed at a corner of the top of the box 100 , so the mounting hole 110 is also located near the corner of the top of the box 100 .

[0138] The stoppers 332 are provided on the top and side edges of the first fixing plate 330, forming a bent plate shape. The stoppers 332 allow the first fixing plate 330 to be hooked onto the top wall of the interior chamber 100. The stoppers 332 cooperate with the side walls to position the first fixing plate 330, thereby hooking the first fixing plate 330 onto the outer wall of the interior chamber 100. This further stabilizes the position of the refrigeration cycle piping 200. After the refrigerator is foamed, the foam layer can press the first and second fixing plates 330 and 340 against the outer wall of the interior chamber 100, securing them.

[0139] In some embodiments, the first fixing plate 330 is provided with a first protrusion 333, which is arranged on a portion of the edge of the fixing hole 350, and the second fixing plate 340 is provided with a second protrusion 342, which is arranged on a portion of the edge of the fixing hole 350. The first protrusion 333 and the second protrusion 342 jointly clamp the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200.

[0140] The first protrusion 333 is equivalent to a portion of the edge of the fixing hole 350 being thickened, and the same is true for the second protrusion 342. The setting of the first protrusion 333 and the second protrusion 342 can increase the contact area with the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200, reduce the pressure on the surface of the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200, clamp the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 more stably, and prevent the edge of the fixing hole 350 from being too narrow and causing damage to the surface of the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200.

[0141] The first protrusion 333 and the second protrusion 342 can be arranged on the same side of the fixing hole 350, or on different sides of the fixing hole 350. The first protrusion 333 can be arranged on a single side of the first fixing plate 330, or on both sides of the first fixing plate 330. The second protrusion 342 is similar and can be arranged on a single side of the second fixing plate 340, or on both sides of the second fixing plate 340.

[0142] In some embodiments, a first overlapping portion 334 is further provided at the bottom of the first fixing plate 330, and the first notch 331 is provided on the first overlapping portion 334. A second overlapping portion 343 is further provided at the top of the second fixing plate 340, and the second notch 341 is provided on the second overlapping portion 343. The first overlapping portion 334 and the second overlapping portion 343 overlap with each other.

[0143] The first overlapping portion 334 and the second overlapping portion 343 can be arranged in a front-to-back order according to actual needs. In other words, the first overlapping portion 334 and the second overlapping portion 343 can be arranged in a front-to-back order, or the second overlapping portion 343 and the first overlapping portion 334 can be arranged in a front-to-back order.

[0144] By providing the first overlapping portion 334 and the second overlapping portion 343, the first fixing plate 330 and the second fixing plate 340 can be restricted to each other to prevent falling due to installation errors. In addition, the first overlapping portion 334 and the second overlapping portion 343 can also be positioned relative to each other, making it easier for the two to form the fixing hole 350.

[0145] In some embodiments, the first fixing plate 330 and the second fixing plate 340 are engaged with each other.

[0146] By setting the first fixing plate 330 and the second fixing plate 340 to be clamped, the integrity of the first fixing plate 330, the second fixing plate 340 and the fixing hole 350 can be improved. When the refrigeration cycle pipeline 200 is inserted into the installation hole 110 from the outside of the box 100, the highly integrated structure is more convenient for staff to operate.

[0147] In some embodiments, other structural forms of the mounting plate 300 and related structures may also be provided. Figure 12-14A through hole 311 is provided on the enclosure 310, and a cantilever 312 is provided on the edge of the through hole 311. The first clamp 410 or the second clamp 420 is provided with a groove 430 at a position corresponding to the cantilever 312. A snap portion 313 is also provided on the edge of the through hole 311. The cantilever 312 cooperates with the snap portion 313 so that the cantilever 312 is pressed against the groove 430.

[0148] The cantilever 312 can move at the through hole 311. When the cantilever 312 cooperates with the buckle portion 313 and is pressed into the groove 430, the cantilever 312 can press on the first clamp 410 or the second clamp 420, thereby increasing the relative force between the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420, and fixing the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420.

[0149] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 A through hole 311 is provided on the enclosure 310, and a cantilever 312 is provided on the edge of the through hole 311; the thermal insulation clamp 400 also includes a fixing pin 440, and the fixing pin 440 passes through the first clamp 410, the second clamp 420 and the cantilever 312, so that the cantilever 312 rests on the first clamp 410 or the second clamp 420.

[0150] The cantilever 312 can move at the through hole 311. After the fixing pin 440 is set, the fixing pin 440 can be pressed on the cantilever 312, so that the cantilever 312 can be pressed against the first clamp 410 or the second clamp 420, thereby fixing the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420.

[0151] Specifically, a screw is provided at one end of the fixing pin 440 away from the cantilever 312 , and the screw can help the fixing pin 440 to press the cantilever 312 .

[0152] In addition, a protrusion is provided on the side wall of the fixing pin 440, and a notch corresponding to the protrusion is provided at the corresponding position of the enclosure 310. The protrusion is located in the notch, so that it can play a limiting role when tightening the screw, making it convenient for the staff to operate.

[0153] The mounting plate 300 is snapped onto the outer wall of the box 100 .

[0154] When the mounting plate 300 moves to the outer wall of the box 100, the plate surface of the mounting plate 300 fits against the outer wall of the box 100, and the box 100 is provided with a structure that cooperates with the buckle on the mounting plate 300, so that the mounting plate 300 can be snapped onto the outer wall of the box 100.

[0155] The clamping method can facilitate the installation of the mounting plate 300 and the box 100 .

[0156] In addition, the mounting plate 300 and the outer wall of the box 100 may be glued to assist in sealing.

[0157] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
