[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the drawings are exemplary. Now, refer to Figures 1 - 4 to describe the refrigerator 100 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present utility model.

[0035] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the refrigerator 100 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present utility model includes an outer shell 1, a heat exchange component 2, and an air duct 3.

[0036] Specifically, a first chamber 11 and a second chamber 12 are defined within the outer shell 1. The heat exchange component 2 is provided on the first chamber 11, and both ends of the air duct 3 are respectively connected to the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12.

[0037] For example, in Figure 2 's example, one end of the air duct 3 is connected to the first chamber 11, and the other end of the air duct 3 is connected to the second chamber 12. When the refrigerator 100 is operating, a part of the cold air generated by the heat exchange component 2 can be transmitted into the first chamber 11 to cool the inside of the first chamber 11. Another part of the cold air generated by the heat exchange component 2 is transmitted into the second chamber 12 through the air duct 3 to cool the inside of the second chamber 12 by air.

[0038] With this arrangement, compared with the traditional technology where heat exchange components are configured on both the first chamber and the second chamber, in this application, only the heat exchange component 2 is configured at the first chamber 11, simplifying the heat exchange component 2, saving the internal space of the refrigerator 100, simplifying the overall structure of the refrigerator 100, thereby shortening the production and assembly time of the refrigerator 100, improving the production efficiency of the refrigerator 100, and also reducing the production cost of the refrigerator 100. Moreover, the heat exchange component 2 is fully utilized, improving the utilization rate of the heat exchange component 2. In addition, synchronous refrigeration in the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 is achieved through the air duct 3, thereby improving the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator 100 and also making full use of the cold air generated by the heat exchange component 2, further improving the service performance of the refrigerator 100.

[0039] For the refrigerator 100 according to the present utility model, compared with the traditional technology, only the heat exchange component 2 is provided on the first chamber 11, saving the internal space, simplifying the overall structure of the refrigerator 100, thereby shortening the production time of the refrigerator 100, improving the production efficiency of the refrigerator 100, and also reducing the production cost of the refrigerator 100. The heat exchange component 2 is also fully utilized. In addition, synchronous refrigeration in the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 is achieved, thereby improving the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator 100.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 2 , the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 are arranged along a first direction (such as the up-and-down direction shown in Figure 2 ), the heat exchange component 2 is located on one side of the first chamber 11 along a second direction (such as the front-and-back direction shown in Figure 2 ), one end of the air duct 3 connected to the first chamber 11 is adjacent to the heat exchange component 2, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. For example, in Figure 2In the example, the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 are arranged in the up-down direction, and the second chamber 12 is located above the first chamber 11. The heat exchange component 2 is located at the rear side of the first chamber 11, and one end of the air duct 3 communicates with the upper end at the rear side of the first chamber 11. With such an arrangement, while ensuring simultaneous refrigeration of the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12, the positions of the first chamber 11, the second chamber 12, the heat exchange component 2 and the air duct 3 are reasonably arranged, effectively utilizing the internal space of the refrigerator 100 and facilitating the arrangement of the internal structure of the refrigerator 100.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 , the air duct 3 is located on the same side of the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 close to the heat exchange component 2 along the second direction (i.e., the front-rear direction). For example, in Figure 2 's example, the air duct 3 is located at the rear side of the first chamber 11 and the rear side of the second chamber 12. With such an arrangement, the length of the air duct 3 is shortened, the occupied space of the air duct 3 is reduced, and it is convenient for the arrangement of the refrigerator 100. Moreover, the material usage of the air duct 3 is also reduced, and the production cost of the air duct 3 is lowered. It should be noted that the other end of the air duct 3 communicates with the lower end at the rear side of the second chamber 12, improving the refrigeration effect at the bottom of the second chamber 12. When items (such as food and beverages) are placed in the second chamber 12, they are first placed at the bottom of the second chamber 12, thereby improving the refrigeration effect on the items. Moreover, it also helps to further shorten the length of the air duct 3, thereby further reducing the occupied space of the air duct 3 and further reducing the material usage of the air duct 3.

[0042] Optionally, referring to Figure 2 , the air duct 3 includes a first air duct section 31, a second air duct section 32 and a third air duct section 33. The first air duct section 31 and the second air duct section 32 extend in the front-rear direction, and the third air duct section 33 extends in the up-down direction. The first air duct section 31 is located below the second air duct section 32, and the third air duct section 33 is located between the first air duct section 31 and the second air duct section 32. The front end of the first air duct section 31 communicates with the first chamber 11, and the rear end of the first air duct section 31 is connected to the lower end of the third air duct section 33. The front end of the second air duct section 32 communicates with the second chamber 12, and the rear end of the second air duct section 32 is connected to the upper end of the third air duct section 33. The cross-sectional shape of the air duct 3 is generally in a "U" shape. With such an arrangement, the structure of the air duct 3 is simple and easy to form, thereby improving the production efficiency of the air duct 3. In addition, it is also convenient for the air duct 3 to be arranged according to the internal structure of the refrigerator 100. While ensuring that the air duct 3 connects the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12, it is easy to reduce the occupied space of the air duct 3 inside the refrigerator 100.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2, a partition 13 is provided between the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12, and a plurality of through holes 131 are formed in the partition 13. The second chamber 12 and the first chamber 11 are connected through the plurality of through holes 131. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality of" means two or more. For example, in Figure 2 In the example of, the through holes 131 penetrate the partition 13 in the up and down direction. With such an arrangement, after the cold air generated by the heat exchange component 2 is transmitted to the second chamber 12 through the air duct 3, the cold air can be transmitted into the first chamber 11 along the plurality of through holes 131 (as shown by the arrow C in Figure 2 ). When realizing simultaneous refrigeration of the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12, the cold air can also circulate in the second chamber 12 and the first chamber 11, further improving the ability of the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 in the refrigerator 100 to refrigerate synchronously, improving the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator 100, and thus improving the service performance of the refrigerator 100.

[0044] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , an opening 121 is formed on the side wall of the first chamber 11 facing the second chamber 12, and a part of the partition 13 is located in the opening 121, and the plurality of through holes 131 are formed at a part of the partition 13. For example, in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the example of, the opening 121 is formed on the part of the upper side wall of the first chamber 11 where the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 are opposite in the up and down direction, and the front end of the partition 13 (i.e., a part of the above-mentioned partition 13) covers the opening 121.

[0045] With such an arrangement, it is effectively ensured that the through holes 131 can connect the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12, so that it is effectively ensured that the cold air can circulate in the second chamber 12 and the first chamber 11, ensuring synchronous refrigeration of the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 and improving the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator 100. In addition, the formation of the opening 121 reduces the difficulty of connecting the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 and facilitates the production of the refrigerator 100.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a first limiting structure 132 is provided on the side surface of the partition 13 facing the first chamber 11, and the outer peripheral surface of the first limiting structure 132 is in contact with the inner wall surface of the opening 121. For example, in Figure 2 and Figure 3In the example, the first limiting structure 132 is formed on the lower side surface of the partition member 13, and the first limiting structure 132 is fitted into the opening 121. With such an arrangement, the first limiting structure 132 cooperates with the side wall of the opening 121 to limit the partition member 13, enhancing the assembly stability of the partition member 13 with the side wall of the first chamber 11, thereby improving the service stability of the partition member 13 and the structural stability of the refrigerator 100. It should be noted that a plurality of through holes 131 penetrate through the front end of the partition member 13 (i.e., the portion of the partition member 13 opposite to the first limiting structure 132) and the first limiting structure 132 in the up and down direction.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a second limiting structure 133 is provided at the outer peripheral edge of the partition member 13. The second limiting structure 133 extends towards the second chamber 12, and the second limiting structure 133 is located on the outer peripheral side of the side wall of the second chamber 12. For example, in Figure 2 and Figure 3 's example, the second limiting structure 133 extends in the upward direction. The cross-sectional shape of the second limiting structure 133 is generally annular. The inner wall surface of the second limiting structure 133 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the side wall of the second chamber 12, and the lower end surface of the side wall of the second chamber 12 is in contact with the upper side surface of the partition member 13. With such an arrangement, the second limiting structure 133 cooperates with the side wall of the second chamber 12 to limit the partition member 13, enhancing the assembly stability of the partition member 13 with the side wall of the second chamber 12, thereby further enhancing the service stability of the partition member 13 and the structural stability of the refrigerator 100.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , a storage member 111 is provided in the first chamber 11. An installation space 112 is defined between the storage member 111 and the inner wall surface of the first chamber 11. The installation space 112 is respectively connected to the air duct 3 and the first chamber 11. The heat exchange component 2 includes a fan 21 and a heat exchanger 22. The fan 21 is provided in the installation space 112, and the heat exchanger 22 is provided on the outer side wall of the first chamber 11, and the heat exchanger 22 is opposite to the fan 21.

[0049] For example, in Figure 2 and Figure 4In the example, an installation space 112 is formed between the rear side wall of the storage member 111 and the front inner wall surface of the first chamber 11. The upper side of the installation space 112 is connected to the front end of the first air duct section 31 of the air duct 3, and the front side of the installation space 112 is connected to the first chamber 11. The heat exchanger 22 is located on the outer surface of the front side wall of the first chamber 11, and the heat exchanger 22 and the fan 21 are opposite to each other in the front-rear direction. After the heat exchanger 22 exchanges heat with the air in the installation space 112, the temperature of the air in the installation space 112 decreases. The fan 21 blows a part of the cold air towards the front end of the first air duct section 31, and the above-mentioned part of the cold air flows along the air duct 3 into the second chamber 12 (as Figure 2 shown by the arrow C in

[0050] ). The fan 21 blows another part of the cold air into the storage member 111 in the first chamber 11 to cool the items in the storage member 111. Among them, the first chamber 11 is cooled by the heat exchanger 22, and the first chamber 11 is cooled by air.

[0051] With such a setting, the installation space 112 is used to accommodate the fan 21, which facilitates the installation of the fan 21. In addition, it is convenient for the fan 21 to blow the cold air to circulate in the second chamber 12 and the first chamber 11, so as to facilitate the simultaneous cooling of the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12, and improve the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator 100. It should be noted that the storage member 111 can be a drawer, the fan 21 can be a centrifugal fan 21, and the heat exchanger 22 can be an evaporator. There are a plurality of perforations on the circumferential side wall of the storage member 111 to connect the installation space 112 with the first chamber 11.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the refrigerator 100 further includes a first partition 4 and a heating member 5. The first partition 4 covers the outer peripheral side of the first chamber 11, and the first partition 4 is located on the side of the heat exchanger 22 away from the fan 21. The heating member 5 is provided between the first partition 4 and the heat exchanger 22.

[0052] For example, in the examples of Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the first partition 4 wraps the outer peripheral side of the first chamber 11 (that is, the left side, right side, rear side and lower side of the outer periphery of the first chamber 11), the heating member 5 wraps the outer peripheral side of the first chamber 11 (that is, the left side, right side and rear side of the outer periphery of the first chamber 11), a part of the first partition 4 is located on the outer peripheral side of the heating member 5, and the heating member 5 on the rear side of the first chamber 11 is located between the first partition 4 on the rear side of the first chamber 11 and the heat exchanger 22

[0053] With such a setting, when the first chamber 11 of the refrigerator 100 needs to be heated, the interior of the first chamber 11 can be heated by the heating element 5, facilitating flexible setting of the first chamber 11 according to actual usage conditions, improving the flexibility of use of the first chamber 11, and thus enhancing the performance of the refrigerator 100. In addition, the first partition 4 prevents the cold of the heat exchanger 22 or the heat of the heating element 5 from diffusing outward, effectively ensuring the refrigeration or heating effect in the first chamber 11. It should be noted that the first partition 4 can be a vacuum insulation panel, the heating element 5 is adhesively bonded to the heat exchanger 22, and the first partition 4 is adhesively bonded to the heating element 5.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the housing 1 includes a first housing 14, a second chamber 12 is defined within the first housing 14, and a second partition 15 is provided between the second chamber 12 and the first housing 14, and the second partition 15 covers the outer peripheral surface of the second chamber 12.

[0055] For example, in the examples of Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the second partition 15 wraps the outer peripheral surface of the second chamber 12 (i.e., the front side, rear side, left side, and right side of the outer periphery of the second chamber 12). With such a setting, the second partition 15 prevents the cold in the second chamber 12 from diffusing to the outer periphery of the second chamber 12, avoiding the loss of cold, and thus contributing to the second chamber 12 being in a refrigerated state for a long time, improving the refrigeration effect in the second chamber 12. It should be noted that the second partition 15 is adhesively bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the second chamber 12.

[0057] By adopting the above-mentioned refrigerator 100, the production efficiency of the vehicle is improved and the production cost of the vehicle is reduced according to the vehicle of the present invention.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle further includes an air conditioning system (not shown in the figure), the air conditioning system includes a compressor (not shown in the figure), and the compressor is connected to the heat exchanger 22 of the refrigerator 100. With such a setting, compared with the traditional technology where the refrigerator uses an independent compressor, the refrigerator 100 in the present application uses a compressor shared with the air conditioning system for refrigeration, thus effectively avoiding the noise (such as abnormal noise) generated when the independent compressor works, improving the user experience. Moreover, it also saves a large amount of internal space of the refrigerator 100, further simplifies the overall structure of the refrigerator 100, further shortens the production and assembly time of the refrigerator 100, improves the production efficiency of the refrigerator 100, and reduces the production cost of the refrigerator 100.
