AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies cannot effectively prevent the generation of condensation water on the surface of the refrigerator door, mainly because the insulation material and door seal are aged or loosely assembled, allowing outside air to enter, resulting in excessive temperature differences.
A windshield assembly for a refrigerator is designed, comprising a shell and a cover. An insulation cavity and reinforcement ribs are provided on the shell. Partial airflow is allowed into the insulation cavity, and the airflow is controlled by the cover to prevent direct confluence of cold and hot air flows, thereby reducing the temperature difference.
Effectively prevent the generation of condensation, maintain a stable temperature of the refrigerator door, improve the user experience and working performance, while keeping the components clean.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerator assembly installation, in particular to a windshield assembly for a refrigerator. Background Art
[0002] The temperature inside a refrigerator is low, typically between 0°C and 10°C, while the outside temperature is relatively high. This temperature difference is particularly pronounced in summer or in humid environments. When hot air encounters the cooler refrigerator door, water vapor in the air cools and liquefies on the door surface, forming condensation.
[0003] To prevent condensation at the door joints or around the door, thicker insulation, such as polyurethane foam, can be added to the inside of the refrigerator door. This reduces heat exchange between the cold air inside the refrigerator and the warm air outside, lowering temperature fluctuations on the door surface and thus reducing condensation. Furthermore, high-quality door seal materials should be used to ensure a good seal. A well-sealed door seal can reduce the ingress of warm air into the refrigerator, thereby reducing temperature fluctuations on the door surface and the formation of condensation.
[0004] However, the above two methods have not yet effectively limited or reduced the generation of condensation water. The main reason is that they cannot limit the entry of outside air. When the insulation material or door seal ages or is loosely assembled, condensation water will be generated, affecting the user experience and working performance of the refrigerator.

[0017] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0018] See Figure 1-3As shown, the utility model proposes a windshield assembly for a refrigerator. The windshield assembly is assembled on the top of the door of the refrigerator. The windshield assembly includes a shell 10 and a cover plate 20.
[0019] The shell 10 includes a connecting portion 11, an installation portion 12 and a windshield portion 13. The installation portion 12, the connecting portion 11 and the windshield portion 13 are integrally formed. The windshield portion 13 and the installation portion 12 are respectively arranged on both sides of the connecting portion 11. The windshield portion 13 protrudes and extends upward, which can realize the flow of part of the airflow toward the inside of the refrigerator. Reinforcing ribs 15 are arranged between the windshield portion 13 and the connecting portion 11. The reinforcing ribs 15 are arranged in a vertical direction. Multiple reinforcing ribs 15 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the windshield portion 13. The reinforcing ribs 15 can improve the connection strength between the windshield portion 13 and the connecting portion 11.
[0020] The mounting portion 12 extends downward and is used to connect to the end of the refrigerator door. The mounting portion 12 is connected to the refrigerator door by adhesive or fasteners, and the lower part of the connecting portion 11 is located on the top of the door to realize the assembly of the windshield assembly.
[0021] A thermal insulation cavity 14 is provided on the connection portion 11. The thermal insulation cavity 14 is spaced apart from the mounting portion 12 and the windshield portion 13. The thermal insulation cavity 14 is recessed into the surface of the connection portion 11 and is recessed toward the mounting portion 12. The thermal insulation cavity 14 is provided on the connection portion 11 to allow some airflow into the interior of the refrigerator and to provide insulation from the interior of the refrigerator, thereby preventing the direct confluence of cold and hot air flows and the resulting condensation.
[0022] The cover plate 20 is connected to the upper part of the insulation cavity 14. The cover plate 20 covers a part of the top area of the insulation cavity 14 and forms air inlet holes 16 at both ends of the insulation cavity 14. External airflow can enter the interior of the insulation cavity 14 through the air inlet holes 16, thereby realizing the flow of airflow and achieving temperature isolation inside and outside the refrigerator door.
[0023] The cover plate 20 includes a top plate 21 and side plates 22 . The side plates 22 are disposed at the bottom of the top plate 21 and on both sides of the top plate 21 . The side plates 22 are attached to the inner wall of the thermal insulation chamber 14 .
[0024] A support plate 23 is arranged between the side plate 22 and the top plate 21 . The side plate 22 , the top plate 21 and the support plate 23 are integrally formed. The top of the support plate 23 is connected to the bottom of the top plate 21 , and the side of the support plate 23 is connected to the side of the side plate 22 .
[0025] A cover plate 20 is provided on the top of the insulation cavity 14 to prevent the insulation cavity 14 from being open and causing direct outflow of airflow, and the cover plate 20 can block the falling of dust from above, thereby ensuring the clean performance of the wind shield assembly. Thus, the wind shield assembly can realize the introduction of airflow through the insulation cavity 14 while blocking the wind and prevent the generation of a large temperature difference to cause condensation.
