Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a refrigeration system, and in particular to a false beam installation structure for a refrigerator and the refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] With economic development, refrigerators of all kinds have entered countless households and become an indispensable part of people's daily lives. As a refrigeration device that maintains a constant low temperature, refrigerators play an indispensable role in modern families. Refrigerators are consumer products that maintain a constant low temperature and keep food and other items cold. Components such as a compressor and heat exchanger are installed within the refrigerator to achieve refrigeration. Refrigerators typically include a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment, capable of storing items with different low-temperature requirements.

[0003] Currently, a gap is reserved between the freezer liner and the false beam to secure the false beam. Furthermore, the liner is significantly affected by the adsorption process, resulting in inconsistent wall thickness and opening dimensions. This leads to inconsistent gaps between the false beam and the liner, and consequently, inconsistent gaps between the false beam and the U-shell. This gap results in a high rate of production defects, impacting manufacturing efficiency and the appearance of the refrigerator. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present application provides a false beam installation structure for a refrigerator and a refrigerator, which can ensure the consistency of the gap between the end of the false beam and the inner container of the refrigerator.

[0005] Specifically, this application is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0006] One aspect of the present application provides a false beam mounting structure for a refrigerator, wherein the refrigerator includes a refrigerator liner, and the false beam mounting structure includes:

[0007] A false beam body, the false beam body being used for assembling with the refrigerator liner, and a fixing piece being provided on the end surface of the false beam body;

[0008] An auxiliary fixing member is connected to the fixing member. The auxiliary fixing member can drive the end surface of the false beam body to move toward the direction close to the refrigerator inner tank, and is used to adjust the gap between the end surface of the false beam body and the refrigerator inner tank.

[0009] Optionally, the refrigerator liner is provided with a mounting hole, the fixing piece protrudes outward from the end surface of the false beam body and passes through the mounting hole, and the auxiliary fixing piece is located on the outside of the refrigerator liner.

[0010] Optionally, the outer side surface of the fixing piece is provided with a thread, the auxiliary fixing piece is connected to the fixing piece via the thread, and the auxiliary fixing piece is rotated to adjust the gap between the end surface of the false beam body and the refrigerator inner container.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application (or "implementation methods") will be described clearly and completely here with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present application are used only for the purpose of convenience of description and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,in, Figure 1 This is the assembly diagram of the false beam and the inner liner in the prior art. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the completed assembly of the false beam and the inner liner in the prior art. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 Schematic cross-sectional view. In the prior art, the false beam 1 and the inner liner 2 are fixed together by snapping together. A snap groove 11 is provided on both sides of the false beam 1, and a snap rib 12 is provided on both sides of the inner liner 2. The false beam 1 can be fixed by pushing the snap groove 11 into the snap rib 12. However, the wall thickness of the inner liner 2 and the size of the liner opening cannot be kept consistent. In the process of manufacturing the refrigerator, the spacing between the two sides of the false beam 1 and the two sides of the inner liner 2 cannot be guaranteed to be consistent, resulting in the spacing between the snap grooves 11 on both sides of the false beam 1 and the snap rib 12 on the inner liner 2 being difficult to control. After the U-shaped shell is installed, the gap between the false beam 1 and the U-shaped shell is inconsistent, resulting in a situation where the gap at one end is very small and the gap at the other end is very large, resulting in a high defect rate in the production department and affecting manufacturing efficiency.

[0029] Based on the above problems, this application provides a false beam installation structure for refrigerators, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,in Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the refrigerator assembly. Figure 5This is a partial schematic diagram of the assembly process of the dummy beam body. The refrigerator includes a refrigerator liner 100, and the dummy beam installation structure includes: a dummy beam body 200 and an auxiliary fixing member 300. The dummy beam body 200 is used to be assembled with the refrigerator liner 100, and the end face of the dummy beam body 200 is provided with a fixing member 210. The auxiliary fixing member 300 is connected to the fixing member 210, and the auxiliary fixing member 300 can drive the fixing member 210 to move relative to the side wall of the refrigerator liner 100. The auxiliary fixing member 300 can drive the end face of the dummy beam body 200 to move toward the direction closer to the refrigerator liner 100. Specifically, the auxiliary fixing member 300 can be a spacing adjustment member provided between the two, which can increase or decrease the spacing between the two, or the auxiliary fixing member 300 can be pulled or pushed to cause the fixing member to move toward the side wall of the refrigerator liner 100.

[0030] By cooperating with the auxiliary fixing member 300 and the fixing member 210, the gap between the end face of the dummy beam body 200 and the refrigerator liner 100 can be adjusted. This gap can be adjusted based on the size of the refrigerator liner 100's opening and the thickness of the liner's sidewalls. Alternatively, the auxiliary fixing member 300 drives the fixing member 210, causing the end of the dummy beam body 200 to cling to the inside of the refrigerator liner 100, directly eliminating the gap. This allows the dummy beam body 200 to remain unaffected by the wall thickness and opening size of the refrigerator liner 100, ensuring consistent gaps between the multiple ends of the dummy beam body 200 and the refrigerator liner 100. This high positioning accuracy can effectively reduce refrigerator defect rates and improve production efficiency.

[0031] The present application defines any end face of the false beam body 200 and the inner wall of the corresponding refrigerator liner 100. Since the shape of the false beam body 200 is not limited, it may be a long strip, T-shaped, cross-shaped, etc., and the number of its end faces is also inconsistent.

[0032] In one embodiment, combining Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is an enlarged view of the end of the dummy beam body. The refrigerator liner 100 is provided with a mounting hole 101. The fixing member 210 protrudes outward from the end surface of the dummy beam body 200 and passes through the mounting hole 101. The auxiliary fixing member 300 is located outside the refrigerator liner 100. This position of the auxiliary fixing member 300 makes it easier to install and operate the fixing member 210 when using the auxiliary fixing member 300, rather than inside.

[0033] In one embodiment, combining Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 ,in Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the auxiliary fixing parts. Figure 8The figure is a cross-sectional diagram of the mounting point between the dummy beam body and the refrigerator liner. The outer side of the fixing member 210 is provided with threads 211, and the auxiliary fixing member 300 is threadedly connected to the fixing member 210. The auxiliary fixing member 300 rotates to adjust the gap between the end face of the dummy beam body 200 and the refrigerator liner 100. As the auxiliary fixing member 300 rotates relative to the fixing member 210, which is provided with threads 211, the auxiliary fixing member 300 is guided by the threads 211 to move closer to or further away from the end face of the dummy beam body 200. The auxiliary fixing member 300 is located on the outside of the refrigerator liner 100, and the fixing member 300 is fixed to the end face of the dummy beam body 200, thereby adjusting the gap between the two. Using a threaded connection to adjust the spacing provides strong load-bearing capacity, good vibration resistance, and wear resistance, and can maintain the stability of the connection in vibrating and abrasive environments. The threaded connection allows for easy disassembly and replacement, facilitating equipment maintenance and overhaul. It is highly standardized and readily available.

[0034] In one embodiment, combining Figure 7 The auxiliary fixing member 300 includes a first portion 310 and a second portion 320. The first portion 310 is located near the end face of the dummy beam body 200 and has a larger cross-sectional area than the second portion 320. The first portion 310 abuts the outside of the refrigerator liner 100 and pushes the refrigerator liner 100 toward the end face of the dummy beam body 200. The larger cross-sectional area of the first portion 310 disperses pressure, increasing the stability of force transmission between the auxiliary fixing member 300 and the refrigerator liner 100, thereby reducing deformation of the refrigerator liner 100.

[0035] In one embodiment, the first portion 310 has multiple openings facing the refrigerator liner 100. The refrigerator liner 100 and the U-shaped shell require thermal insulation through foaming. Providing openings in the first portion 310 allows for uniform foaming at the junction of the false beam body 200 and the refrigerator liner 100, providing better insulation. Furthermore, the openings reduce the weight of the auxiliary fixing member 300, achieving a lightweight design.

[0036] In one embodiment, the outer contour of the cross section of the second portion 320 is polygonal. That is, the first portion 310 is a polygonal column. When installing the auxiliary fixing member 300 and the fixing member 210, the outer side of the second portion 320 can be grasped with a tool. The polygonal second portion 320 is easy to grasp and can be fixed circumferentially with the matching tool, making it easy to twist the auxiliary fixing member 300, making the installation process more convenient.

[0037] In another embodiment, the polygonal second portion 320 has a curved side surface that is concave toward the center. This curved side surface design makes the second portion 320 easier to grip with a fixture or tool, facilitating quick and accurate positioning of the second portion 320 and reducing adjustment and correction time during installation. The curved surface design provides a better grip, reduces operational difficulty, and makes the installation process smoother.

[0038] In one embodiment, multiple edges of the polygon are chamfered. The chamfered sides of the second portion 320 become smooth and edgeless, reducing friction and resistance with adjacent components during installation, making the assembly process smoother and improving assembly efficiency. This also avoids assembly difficulties or loose fit caused by sharp edges, ensuring accurate and reliable assembly. Removing sharp edges from the sides of the second portion 320 reduces the risk of injury during operation or use, protecting the safety of operators and other equipment.

[0039] In one embodiment, the interior of the fixing member 210 is a hollow structure, which can reduce the weight of the fixing member 210 and improve the shock resistance of the fixing member 210. In a vibration or impact environment, the hollow fixing member 210 can better maintain the stability and reliability of the connection and be lightweight.

[0040] The present application also provides a refrigerator, which may be a French refrigerator, a double refrigerator, a cross refrigerator, etc. Including any of the above-mentioned false beam installation structures. Figure 4 The refrigerator comprises a U-shaped shell 400, a refrigerator liner 100, and a dummy beam body 200 comprising a dummy beam rear cover 201 and a dummy beam front cover 202. A fixing member 210 is disposed on the dummy beam rear cover 201 and penetrates the side wall of the refrigerator liner 100 through the mounting hole 101. The auxiliary fixing member 300 is then screwed into the protruding portion of the fixing member 210 on the outside of the refrigerator liner 100. The screwing process eliminates the gap between the refrigerator liner 100 and the end of the dummy beam body 200. The refrigerator liner 100, with the dummy beam secured, is then assembled inside the U-shaped shell.

[0041] Regarding how to screw the auxiliary fixing assembly into the fixing piece, it can be screwed in using an electric drill or a wrench tool. When using an electric drill to screw in, the present application also designs a special drill bit with a polygonal internal shape that matches the shape of the auxiliary fixing piece 300. This method of installation is fast and labor-saving, greatly improving the efficiency of assembling the refrigerator.

The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of this application shall be included in the scope of protection of this application.
