They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, and a specific direction structure and operation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0027] In addition, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0028] See also Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a refrigerator inflation evaporator fixing structure, which includes at least an integrally injection-molded base 1, a support portion 4, and a snap portion 5. The integrated design reduces the number of parts, unifies the inflation evaporator 8 fixing structure into one, and optimizes the parts.

[0029] In one embodiment, the base 1 is circular, a boss 2 is provided at the center of the base 1, and a screw hole 3 is provided at the center of the boss 2. Figure 5 As shown, by passing the screw 9 through the screw hole 3 and the refrigerated liner 7, the base 1 can be fixedly installed on the refrigerated liner 7, which is convenient and quick to install and reduces installation costs.

[0030] See also Figure 1 As shown, the support portions 4 are evenly distributed around the periphery of the boss 2, with a corresponding snap portion 5 positioned at the top of each support portion 4. Preferably, there are four support portions 4 and snap portions 5, which are annularly distributed around the periphery of the boss 2, with a gap between adjacent snap portions 5. Each snap portion 5 is provided with a slot 6 on its periphery, and the four slots 6 of the four snap portions 5 together form a mounting slot for the inflation evaporator 8.

[0031] See also Figure 1 As shown, the buckle portion 5 includes a top portion 51, a middle portion 52, and a bottom portion 53 integrally arranged from top to bottom.
