[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] As used herein, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" that indicate spatial relative positions are used for ease of explanation to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings. Spatially relative terms may be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation shown in the drawings.

[0030] For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

[0031] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] Furthermore, it should be understood that although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements or structures, these described objects should not be limited by these terms. These terms are merely used to distinguish these described objects from each other. For example, a first stopper may be referred to as a second stopper, and similarly, a second stopper may be referred to as a first stopper, without departing from the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] The present application embodiment provides a refrigeration device, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes an inner tank 1 with a refrigeration compartment and a partition 2 arranged in the refrigeration compartment. The inner tank 1 includes a bottom wall 11, and the bottom wall 11 is provided with limiting holes 111 and snap holes 112 at intervals. A limiting member 21 and a snap 22 are provided at the bottom of the partition 2. The limiting member 21 is L-shaped. The L-shaped limiting member 21 passes through the limiting hole 111 so that the bottom wall 11 at the edge of the limiting hole 111 is set between the limiting member 21 and the bottom of the partition 2, and the snap 22 is snapped into the snap hole 112.

[0034] In this application, the refrigeration compartment opens forward, and a partition 2 extends in the front-to-back direction, dividing the space near the bottom of the refrigeration compartment into two sections. The height of each section is determined by the height of the partition 2. Slide rails can be provided on both sides of the partition 2 to allow drawers to be installed in the two sections formed by the partition 2. The partition 2 is positioned by a stopper 21 and a stopper hole 111, and a clip 22 cooperates with a snap-fit hole 112 to secure the partition 2 to the bottom wall 11 of the inner container 1. Of course, the refrigeration compartment opening does not necessarily have to face forward; it can also face upward without slide rails.

[0035] In some embodiments, the L-shaped limiting member 21 is disposed near the end of the partition 2 and protrudes from the bottom of the partition 2 and extends in a direction away from the buckle 22 .

[0036] like Figure 3 、 4In this application, the positioning member 21 is set near the rear end of the partition 2 as an example. The L-shaped positioning member 21 includes a first positioning portion 211 connected to the bottom of the partition 2 and a second positioning portion 212 connected to the first positioning portion 211. The second positioning portion 212 is set on the side of the first positioning portion 211 away from the buckle 22. When the partition 2 is installed, the positioning member 21 passes through the positioning hole 111 from top to bottom and moves the partition 2 backward until the first positioning portion 211 abuts against the rear side of the positioning hole 111. Part of the bottom wall 11 on the rear side of the positioning hole 111 is set between the second positioning portion 212 and the bottom of the partition 2. The positioning member 21 cooperates with the positioning hole 111 to limit the backward movement of the partition 2 and prevent the positioning member 21 from detaching upward from the positioning hole 111. The buckle 22 cooperates with the snap-fit hole 112 to fix the partition 2 to the bottom wall 11 of the inner liner 1.

[0037] Of course, the second limiting portion 212 of the limiting member 21 can also be arranged on the side of the first limiting portion 211 close to the buckle 22, that is, the second limiting portion 212 is arranged on the front side of the first limiting portion 211. At this time, when the partition 2 is installed, the limiting member 21 needs to move the partition 2 forward after passing through the limiting hole 111 until the first limiting portion 211 abuts against the front side of the limiting hole 111, and part of the bottom wall 11 on the front side of the limiting hole 111 is arranged between the second limiting portion 212 and the bottom of the partition 2.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 In the embodiment, the refrigeration device provided by the present application further includes an embedded box 3 having a shape that matches the snap-fit hole 112. The embedded box 3 passes through the snap-fit hole 112 and is provided with an upward-facing opening. At least one side of the opening is provided with a blocking piece 31 that partially blocks the opening. The clip 22 extends into the embedded box 3 and engages with the blocking piece 31 to achieve snap-fit. The clip 22 is provided with a first abutting surface 2221 facing upward. After the clip 22 extends into the embedded box 3, the first abutting surface 2221 abuts against the blocking piece 31 of the embedded box 3, preventing the clip 22 from detaching from the embedded box 3.

[0039] In some embodiments, the buckle 22 includes an extension portion 221 connected to the partition 2 and a clamping portion 222 connected to the extension portion 221. The clamping portion 222 is disposed on the side of the extension portion 221 facing away from the limiting member 21, that is, the clamping portion 222 is disposed in front of the extension portion 221. This allows the clamping portion 222 of the buckle 22 and the second limiting portion 212 of the limiting member 21 to be disposed away from each other. The extension portion 221 of the buckle 22 can limit the forward movement of the partition 2, while the first limiting portion 211 of the limiting member 21 can limit the backward movement of the partition 2.

[0040] The clamping portion 222 is provided with the aforementioned first abutting surface 2221. In addition, the clamping portion 222 is further provided with a first guide surface 2222. In the direction away from the bottom of the partition 2 toward the bottom of the partition 2, the first guide surface 2222 extends obliquely in the direction away from the limiting member 21. Figure 5 In the embodiment, the first guide surface 2222 extends forwardly and tilted in a bottom-up direction. When installing the partition 2, the limiting member 21 is first inserted into the limiting hole 111. After the partition 2 is moved backward so that the first limiting portion 211 abuts the rear side of the limiting hole 111, the front side of the partition 2 is pressed downward so that the first guide surface 2222 of the clamping portion 222 abuts the rear side of the baffle 31 that blocks the opening of the embedded box 3. During the continuous downward force application, the buckle 22 and the baffle 31 undergo slight deformation under the action of elasticity, causing the buckle 22 to enter the embedded box 3. The action of the first abutting surface 2221 prevents the buckle 22 from being separated from the embedded box 3.

[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 、 8 In the figure, the bottom of the partition 2 is also provided with a positioning post 23, and the bottom wall 11 is provided with a positioning groove (not shown) corresponding to the positioning post 23, and the positioning post 23 is set in the positioning groove. The partition 2 can also be positioned during installation by the positioning post 23 and the positioning groove, and the positioning post 23 and the positioning groove can also serve as a limit.

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 In the figure, the positioning post 23 is arranged on the side of the buckle 22 facing away from the limiting member 21 and is located near the end of the partition 2. The positioning groove is arranged on the side of the engaging hole 112 facing away from the limiting hole 111. From the front to the back of the bottom of the partition 2, the positioning post 23, the buckle 22, and the limiting member 21 are arranged in this order. When installing the partition 2, first extend the limiting member 21 into the limiting hole 111, then move the partition 2 backward; then align the buckle 22 with the opening of the embedded box 3 and the positioning post 23 with the positioning groove, and apply downward force so that the first guide surface 2222 of the buckle 22 abuts the edge of the opening. The buckle 22 and the embedded box 3 elastically deform, causing the buckle 22 to enter the embedded box 3, and the positioning post 23 to enter the positioning groove.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 In the embodiment, the positioning column 23 is arranged between the buckle 22 and the limiting member 21. At this time, the positioning groove is arranged between the clamping hole 112 and the limiting hole 111, and the bottom of the partition 2 is sequentially provided with the buckle 22, the positioning column 23 and the limiting member 21 from the front to the back.

[0044] Unlike the aforementioned buckle 22 in which the engaging portion 222 is disposed on the front side of the extending portion 221, in some embodiments, such as Figure 9In the embodiment, two clips 22 are provided. Each clip 22 includes an interconnected extension portion 221 and a clipping portion 222. The clipping portions 222 are disposed opposite each other on either side of the partition 2. That is, the two clips 22 are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the partition 2, with the clipping portions 222 facing each other. After installation, the two clips 22 can be positioned perpendicular to the partition 2. Correspondingly, the embedded box 3 also has two retaining plates 31, spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the partition 2 to engage with the two clips 22.

[0045] like Figure 9 In the embodiment, a downward-opening clearance opening 24 is provided at the bottom of the partition 2, and the extension portion 221 is connected to the opening end away from the clearance opening 24. The extension portion 221 is long enough so that when the buckle 22 is engaged, the first guide surface 2222 is able to bend and deform under the force of the sufficiently long extension portion 221, thereby facilitating engagement and preventing damage to the buckle 22. Of course, the embodiment in which the engaging portion 222 is provided on the front side of the extension portion 221 can also be provided with a corresponding clearance opening 24. The increase in the length of the extension portion 221 improves the elasticity of the buckle 22.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 In the embodiment, the embedded box 3 is provided with a flange 32 extending from the opening away from the center of the opening, and the flange 32 covers the engaging hole 112. The flange 32 is perpendicular to the side of the embedded box 3. The embedded box 3 passes through the engaging hole 112 from top to bottom. The flange 32 overlaps the upper part of the bottom wall 11 around the engaging hole 112. The sum of the flange 32 and the opening of the embedded box 3 is larger than the engaging hole 112. Therefore, the flange 32 can completely cover the engaging hole 112, which can prevent the foaming material from being exposed through the engaging hole 112. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the engaging hole 112 being blocked during foaming.

[0047] In some embodiments, a limiting block 33 is further provided on the outside of the embedded box 3, and the bottom wall 11 is provided between the flange 32 and the limiting block 33. The limiting block 33 is provided with a second guide surface 332 and a second abutting surface 331. In the direction from the limiting block 33 away from the flange 32 to the direction close to the flange 32, the second guide surface 332 is extended outwardly. When the embedded box 3 is installed, the embedded box 3 passes through the clamping hole 112 from top to bottom until the second guide surface 332 abuts the edge of the clamping hole 112. The limiting block 33 and the bottom wall 11 forming the clamping hole 112 are slightly deformed so that the clamping block also passes through the clamping hole 112. A portion of the bottom wall 11 at the edge of the clamping hole 112 is provided between the flange 32 and the limiting block 33. The second abutting surface 331 restricts the embedded box 3 from detaching from the clamping hole 112.

[0048] It should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each implementation method can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0049] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of this application. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Any equivalent implementation methods or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of this application should be included in the scope of protection of this application.
