[0030] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. In addition, "connected" should be understood broadly and can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; it can be mechanical connections or electrical connections. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0031] It should also be noted that, for the convenience of introduction, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The straight line where y is located is the front-back direction, and the arrow along the y direction points forward. The straight line where z is located is the up-down direction, and the arrow along the z direction points upward. The object is placed along the z direction, and its upper surface is the top surface, and the lower surface is the bottom surface. At the same time, Figure 9 The z direction is also the height direction of the main water channel 1321 , and the straight line direction where x is located is the extension direction of the boss 111 , which is also the sliding direction of the door body 12 .
[0032] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a freezer 1, comprising a cabinet body 11 and a door body 12 slidably arranged on the top of the cabinet body 11. Since the first end 11a of the cabinet body 11 is higher than the second end 11b of the cabinet body 11, the first end 12a of the door body 12 corresponds to the first end 11a of the cabinet body 11, and the second end 12b of the door body 12 corresponds to the second end 11b of the cabinet body 11. Therefore, the first end 12a of the door body 12 is higher than the second end 12b of the door body 12, and the door body 12 is arranged in an inclined manner, that is, Figure 2As shown in FIG, the height H1 of the first end 12a of the door body 12 (i.e., the distance between the first end 12a of the door body 12 and the bottom of the cabinet body 11) is greater than the height H2 of the second end 12b of the door body 12 (i.e., the distance between the second end 12a of the door body 12 and the bottom of the cabinet body 11). The top of the cabinet body 11 is provided with a boss 111 and a side plate 112 connected to each other. The boss 111 is provided at the second end 11b of the cabinet body 11. The second end 12b of the door body 12 can be slidably abutted against the boss 111. The end of the side plate 112 connected to the boss 111 is provided with a drainage groove 1121. Figure 3 The position of the drainage groove 1121 is shown in FIG. 1 . The refrigerator 1 further includes a drainage structure 13. The drainage structure 13 is arranged in the drainage groove 1121. Figure 4 As shown in .
[0033] Since the cabinet body 11 is configured to be inclined from the first end 11a of the cabinet body 11 to the second end 11b of the cabinet body 11, the door body 12 is also inclined from the first end 12a of the door body 12 to the second end. When condensation appears on the edge of the door body 12, the condensed water droplets will move along the edge of the door body 12 in the inclined direction until they move to the position of the drainage groove 1121 and are discharged from the drainage groove 1121. When the drainage groove 1121 is small, it is not conducive to draining the water. When the drainage groove 1121 is large, external impurities can easily enter the drainage groove 1121, thereby blocking the drainage groove 1121 and affecting drainage. Because the drainage structure 13 is set at the drainage groove 1121 in this application, it can prevent debris from blocking the drainage groove 1121 and ensure smooth drainage.
[0034] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the present application provides a drainage structure 13 for a freezer 1, the drainage structure 13 is applied to the above-mentioned freezer 1 and installed at the drainage groove 1121 of the above-mentioned freezer 1, the drainage structure 13 includes a main baffle 131, a drainage channel 132 and a connector 133, the main baffle 131 is arranged in the drainage groove 1121, and a drainage port 1311 (as shown) is formed between the bottom of the main baffle 131 and the boss 111 Figure 4 As shown), the drain port 1311 can drain the condensed water on the edge of the door body 12 or the edge of the freezer 1. The drain channel 132 is located at the bottom of the boss 111. When projected in a direction perpendicular to the boss 111, the projection area of the boss 111 covers part of the projection area of the drain channel 132. It should be noted that the direction perpendicular to the boss 111 is also the top view direction of the freezer 1. Therefore, the view along the direction perpendicular to the boss 111 is Figure 7 A top view of the refrigerator 1 is shown in FIG. Figure 7 The side panels 112 are not shown. Figure 7 The enlarged image at N is Figure 8It can be seen that there is a partial structure of the drain channel 132 directly below the boss 111. Water flowing through the boss 111 can flow downward into the drain channel 132. The connecting piece 133 of the drainage structure 13 can abut against the boss 111 and connect the main baffle 131 and the drain channel 132.
[0035] Since the door body 12 is in contact with the boss 111, the position of the door body 12 is higher than the position of the boss 111. At this time, the water on the door body 12 can flow downward to the boss 111, and a drain port 1311 is formed between the boss 111 and the main baffle 131. The water further flows along the boss 111 to the drain port 1311. By arranging the main baffle 131 on the drain groove 1121, the size of the drain port 1311 at the drain groove 1121 can be reduced, thereby avoiding the situation where large debris blocks the drain port 1311. Since the drain channel 132 is located at the bottom of the boss 111, the water flowing to the drain port 1311 continues to flow along the boss 111 to the drain port 1311. The drain channel 132 flows in the drain channel 132. Since part of the drain channel 132 is located directly below the boss 111, and the other part of the drain channel 132 extends from one end of the bottom of the boss 111, when water flows downward from the boss 111, the water directly flows into the extended part of the drain channel 132. When some water flows along the boss 111 to the bottom of the boss 111, the water flowing to the bottom of the boss 111 can flow from the bottom of the boss 111 to the drain channel 132 directly below the boss 111. The above arrangement can ensure that most of the water enters the drain channel 132 and flows out of the drain channel 132, thereby preventing water flowing from the drain outlet 1311 to the drain channel 132 from flowing to other positions of the freezer 1.
[0036] It should be noted that the connector 133 can connect the drain channel 132 and the main baffle 131. In addition, the connector 133 can also abut against the boss 111, thereby supporting the main baffle 131 and the drain channel 132. Because the connector 133 connects the drain channel 132 and the main baffle 131 to form a whole, when foreign matter becomes clogged in the drain channel 132, the drainage structure 13 can be directly removed from the drain groove 1121, the foreign matter removed, and then reinstalled into the drain groove 1121, thereby avoiding the problem of foreign matter clogging the freezer 1 and being unable to clear it, thereby affecting the drainage of the freezer 1.
[0037] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, a groove 1312 is provided on the top of the main baffle 131. The provision of the groove 1312 can facilitate the user to remove the drainage structure 13 from the drainage groove 1121, avoiding the problem that the main baffle 131 is tightly attached to the side wall of the drainage groove 1121 and cannot be removed.
[0038] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the drainage channel 132 includes a main water channel 1321 and a back plate 1322 provided on the top of the main water channel 1321. Figure 9 As shown, the main water channel 1321 is located at the bottom of the boss 111 and is used to collect water flowing down from the boss 111. The back plate 1322 is located at one end of the main water channel 1321 away from the main baffle 131 and is connected to the connector 133. The end 1322a of the back plate 1322 connected to the main water channel 1321 is lower than the boss 111, and the end 1322b of the back plate 1322 away from the main water channel 1321 is higher than the boss 111. When the water on the boss 111 continues to flow along the boss 111, the back plate 1322a is connected to the main water channel 1321. When the refrigerator moves toward the back plate 1322, the back plate 1322 blocks the water, allowing it to flow downward along the back plate 1322 into the main water channel 1321. A gap 1322c is formed between the back plate 1322 and the boss 111, allowing water to flow through the gap 1322c into the main water channel 1321. The water flowing into the main water channel 1321 is then drained into the water receiving tray of the refrigerator 1 through the drain pipe 14 connected to the main water channel 1321. The provision of the back plate 1322 effectively prevents water from splashing around and further prevents water from flowing to other areas outside the main water channel 1321, which could cause water to accumulate in the refrigerator 1.
[0039] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the drainage channel 132 further includes a stopper plate 1323, which is disposed at the top of the main water channel 1321 and vertically connected to the back plate 1322. The provision of the stopper plate 1323 also serves to converge the water flow. For example, a stopper plate 1323 is provided on each side of the back plate 1322. When the water flow is stopped by the back plate 1322, the stopper plates 1323 on both sides of the back plate 1322 can prevent the water flow from flowing in other directions from the back plate 1322, thereby further stopping and converging the water flow to flow in the direction of the main water channel 1321. The stopper plates 1323 on both sides of the back plate 1322 and the back plate 1322 form a flow channel, thereby better guiding the water flow into the main water channel 1321.
[0040] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the drainage structure 13 further includes a side baffle 134, which is perpendicular to the main baffle 131 and located on the side of the main baffle 131 facing the back plate 1322. The side baffle 134 can limit the main baffle 131. The boss 111 and the side plate 112 can also limit the side baffle 134, preventing the main baffle 131 from rotating in the drainage groove 1121 and affecting drainage. In addition, the side baffle 134 can also improve the stability of the drainage structure 13 installed in the drainage groove 1121.
[0041] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of stop plates 1323 and side baffles 134 are provided, and each of the stop plates 1323 and the side baffles 134 is connected in a one-to-one correspondence. The one-to-one correspondence between the stop plates 1323 and the side baffles 134 can further enhance the stability of the drainage structure 13 when installed in the drainage trough 1121. In addition, since the stop plates 1323 and the side baffles 134 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence, the corresponding stop plates 1323 and the side baffles 134 can also jointly prevent water from splashing in other directions, thereby further ensuring that water can be better gathered in the main waterway 1321.
[0042] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the drainage channel 132 further includes a partition 1324 , which extends along the height direction of the main water channel 1321 and is vertically connected to the inner wall of the main water channel 1321 . The partition 1324 can separate the main water channel 1321 into multiple water flow channels. Taking the setting of one partition 1324 as an example, at this time, the partition 1324 can separate the main water channel 1321 into two water flow channels. The two water flow channels can divert the water flow so that the water flow enters the main water channel 1321 in an orderly manner. In addition, the setting of the partition 1324 can reduce the cross-sectional area of each water flow channel, thereby reducing the possibility of foreign matter entering the freezer 1 from the water flow channel. When debris enters the main water channel 1321 from the drain port 1311, the partition 1324 can also block the debris, thereby preventing the debris from entering other positions of the freezer 1 from the main water channel 1321. The setting of the partition 1324 further avoids the problem of foreign matter congestion in the drain channel 132 and affecting drainage.
[0043] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the drainage channel 132 further includes an extension plate 1325 disposed on the top of the partition 1324, and the extension plate 1325 is perpendicularly connected to the back plate 1322. Since the extension plate 1325 is extended upward from the top of the partition 1324, the extension plate 1325 and the partition 1324 are in the same plane. Taking the stop plates 1323 disposed on both sides of the back plate 1322 as an example, since the extension plates 1325 and the stop plates 1323 are both perpendicular to the back plate 1322, the extension plates 1325 divide the water flow channel between the back plate 1322 and the stop plate 1323 into two, and the two water flow channels correspond one-to-one to the two water flow channels in the main water channel 1321. At this time, the extension plates 1325 play a role in diverting and guiding the water flow into the main water channel 1321 in an orderly manner.
[0044] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 、 Figure 9As shown, the surface of the main water channel 1321 connected to the back plate 1322 is configured as a curved surface 1321a, and the curved surface 1321a extends away from the end of the back plate 1322 toward the boss 111. The curved surface 1321a can guide the water on the back plate 1322 to flow into the main water channel 1321, thereby faster gathering the water into the main water channel 1321.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
