Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, and in particular to a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] Freezers are refrigeration appliances with light-transmitting doors, allowing for easy viewing of stored items. They are widely used in commercial settings such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and shopping malls. Typically, a freezer consists of a door and a cabinet body. The door is mounted on the cabinet opening and reciprocates relative to the opening to open and close the cabinet's storage cavity.

[0003] In the prior art, refrigerators are typically designed with flat or curved doors. Accordingly, the cabinet openings must be shaped to accommodate different door shapes. However, in the prior art, the cabinet body and openings are often treated as a single unit and foamed together. This often requires replacing an entire set of foaming molds each time a different opening shape is assembled with the cabinet body, increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present application provides a refrigerator that can split the cabinet body and the cabinet opening into two independent parts, so that the cabinet body and the cabinet opening can be foamed separately and then assembled to save production costs.

[0005] Specifically, the present disclosure is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a refrigerator, including a main cabinet body and a special-shaped cabinet body. The main cabinet body includes an outer shell, an inner shell spaced apart from the outer shell to form a heat-insulating cavity, a heat-insulating layer filled in the heat-insulating cavity, and a top cover. The inner shell is provided with a receiving cavity and a cabinet opening connected to the receiving cavity. The top cover is connected between the outer shell and the inner shell, and covers the heat-insulating layer. The top cover is provided with a plug-in portion. The special-shaped cabinet body includes a connecting frame, and the connecting frame is provided with a matching cabinet opening corresponding to the cabinet opening, and the matching cabinet opening is used to install a cabinet door. A plug-in matching portion is provided on the side of the connecting frame facing the top cover, and the plug-in matching portion is connected to the plug-in portion to form a sealed fit between the special-shaped cabinet body and the main cabinet body.

[0007] The refrigerator provided by this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0008] When the freezer provided by the present application is in use, the main cabinet body can be used to assemble the compressor, condenser and evaporator of the freezer to realize the refrigeration function of the freezer. The matching cabinet opening of the special-shaped cabinet body can be used to install the cabinet door of the freezer. The special-shaped cabinet body can be processed into different shapes according to the adaptability of the cabinet door of different shapes. Among them, the main cabinet body and the special-shaped cabinet body are two independent parts. The main cabinet body can accommodate the insulation layer through the insulation cavity formed by the outer shell, the inner shell and the top cover. The insulation layer of the main cabinet body can be formed by filling the foam material for heat insulation. The special-shaped cabinet body can also be foamed separately to form the insulation layer of the special-shaped cabinet for heat insulation. After the main cabinet body and the special-shaped cabinet body form their own insulation layers separately, the main cabinet body and the special-shaped cabinet body are plugged into each other through the plug-in part and the plug-in matching part to form a whole.

[0009] In this way, the present application divides the cabinet body of the refrigerator into two separate parts: the main cabinet body and the special-shaped cabinet body. If a new shape of cabinet door or a new appearance of the refrigerator is required, only the special-shaped cabinet body part needs to be replaced. The special-shaped cabinet body is designed as required and then assembled with the main cabinet body. This is equivalent to the main cabinet body being a universal part and the special-shaped cabinet body being a replacement part. In this way, during the cabinet body production process of the refrigerator, the foaming mold only needs to be opened to produce the special-shaped cabinet body part, and the main cabinet body part does not need to be changed. Compared with the previous overall foaming method of the cabinet body, the present application only needs to re-foam the newly designed special-shaped cabinet body part, thereby saving production costs and improving production efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] Here, the technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with 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.

[0025] If there are terms related to directional indications or positional relationships in the embodiments of the present application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, height, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships, movement, etc. between the components under a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication or positional relationship will also change accordingly. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present application are only used for the purpose of convenience of description and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0026] With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, refrigeration equipment (such as refrigerators and freezers) has become an indispensable household appliance in people's daily lives. However, with a wide variety of types and brands of refrigeration equipment, consumers are overwhelmed with choices. How to win consumer favor and improve product competitiveness has become an increasingly important issue for refrigeration equipment manufacturers.

[0027] Freezers are refrigeration appliances with light-transmitting doors, allowing for easy viewing of stored items. They are widely used in commercial settings such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and shopping malls. Typically, a freezer consists of a door and a cabinet body. The door is mounted on the cabinet opening and reciprocates relative to the opening to open and close the cabinet's storage cavity.

[0028] In the prior art, refrigerators are typically designed with flat or curved doors. Accordingly, the cabinet openings must be shaped to accommodate different door shapes. However, in the prior art, the cabinet body and openings are often treated as a single unit and foamed together. This often requires replacing an entire set of foaming molds each time a different opening shape is assembled with the cabinet body, increasing production costs.

[0029] Therefore, the present application provides a refrigerator that can be divided into two independent parts, which can be foamed separately and then assembled and spliced. In this way, after changing the shape of the cabinet opening, only the part with the new cabinet opening shape needs to be foamed separately, without having to re-foam the entire cabinet body, thus saving production costs.

[0030] The refrigerator 10 provided in this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional diagram of the refrigerator 10 in this application. Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the special-shaped cabinet 120 in this application. Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the main cabinet 110 in this application. Figure 4 for Figure 1Cross-sectional view along AA. The present application provides a refrigerator 10, comprising a main cabinet body 110 and a special-shaped cabinet body 120. The main cabinet body 110 comprises an outer shell 111, an inner shell 112 spaced apart from the outer shell 111 to form an insulation cavity 116, an insulation layer (not shown in the figure) filled in the insulation cavity 116, and a top cover 113. The inner shell 112 is provided with a receiving cavity 115 and a cabinet opening 114 connected to the receiving cavity 115. The top cover 113 is connected between the outer shell 111 and the inner shell 112, and covers the insulation layer. The top cover 113 is provided with a plug-in portion 117. The special-shaped cabinet body 120 comprises a connecting frame 121, the connecting frame 121 is provided with a matching cabinet opening 122 corresponding to the cabinet opening 114, and the matching cabinet opening 122 is used to install a cabinet door 130. A plug-in fitting portion 123 is provided on a side of the connecting frame 121 facing the top cover 113 . The plug-in fitting portion 123 is connected to the plug-in portion 117 to form a sealed fit between the special-shaped cabinet 120 and the main cabinet 110 .

[0032] It should be noted that the main cabinet 110 can be used to assemble the compressor, condenser and evaporator of the refrigerator 10, so that the compressor outputs a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant and delivers it to the condenser, which condenses the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant through the condenser. The medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is further reduced in pressure and temperature by the expansion throttling effect of the expansion valve, and flows out of the expansion valve into a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant to the evaporator. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant evaporates into a gaseous refrigerant in the evaporator, thereby reducing the temperature in the accommodating cavity 115 and achieving refrigeration of the refrigerator 10.

[0033] Among them, the outer shell 111 and the inner shell 112 of the main cabinet 110 can be respectively set as U-shaped shells, or be spliced ​​by multiple shells, and this application does not limit it. When the inner shell 112 is set inside the outer shell 111, the wall surface of the inner shell 112 and the wall surface of the outer shell 111 can be spaced apart to cooperate to form an insulation cavity 116. The insulation cavity 116 can be used to fill with foaming material to form an insulation layer. The top cover 113 is connected between the outer shell 111 and the inner shell 112, and can form a sealed fit between the outer shell 111, the inner shell 112 and the top cover 113 to facilitate foaming to form an insulation layer. Thus, the main cabinet 110 can be foamed separately to form the insulation layer of the main cabinet 110. Of course, in other embodiments, the insulation layer can also be formed by filling other thermal insulation materials, not limited to foaming materials, and this application does not limit it.

[0034] The matching cabinet opening 122 of the special-shaped cabinet body 120 can be used to install the cabinet door 130 of the refrigerator 10. The special-shaped cabinet body 120 can be adaptively processed into different shapes according to the different shapes of the cabinet door 130. For example, when the cabinet door 130 is a flat door, the special-shaped cabinet body 120 can be set to a rectangular parallelepiped or a cube. When the cabinet door 130 is a curved door, the special-shaped cabinet body 120 can be set to a positive arch (the convex surface of the arc protrudes to the outside of the accommodating cavity 115) or a reverse arch (the concave surface of the arc is recessed into the inside of the accommodating cavity 115). This application does not impose any restrictions. Among them, see Figure 5 , the special-shaped cabinet 120 may have a separate insulation cavity 120a. Correspondingly, the special-shaped cabinet 120 may also have an outer shell, an inner shell, and structures connected between the outer shell and the inner shell to cooperate in forming the insulation cavity 120a, which is not limited in this application. In some embodiments, the insulation cavity 120a of the special-shaped cabinet may also be formed by connecting the frame 121. For example, each side of the connecting frame 121 is set as an internal hollow structure for filling with foaming material. Alternatively, the connecting frame 121 may also cooperate with other special-shaped shells 126 to form the insulation cavity of the special-shaped cabinet 120, which is not limited in this application. Thus, the special-shaped cabinet 120 can also be foamed separately to form the insulation layer of the special-shaped cabinet 120. Of course, in other embodiments, the insulation layer can also be formed by filling other thermal insulation materials, not limited to foaming materials, which is not limited in this application.

[0035] See also Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 4 for Figure 1 Cross-sectional view along AA, Figure 5 for Figure 4 The enlarged image of point B in the middle, Figure 6 for Figure 5Schematic diagram of the structure from another perspective. The direction indicated by the Y direction in the definition figure is upward, and the direction indicated by the opposite direction of Y is downward. When assembling the main cabinet 110 and the special-shaped cabinet 120, the top cover 113 of the main cabinet 110 is set upward, and the connecting frame 121 of the special-shaped cabinet 120 is set downward. The top cover 113 and the connecting frame 121 are sealed together to complete the installation of the main cabinet 110 and the special-shaped cabinet 120. Among them, in order to facilitate the sealing of the top cover 113 and the connecting frame 121, the side of the top cover 113 facing away from the insulation chamber 116 can be provided with a plug-in portion 117, and the side of the connecting frame 121 facing the top cover 113 can be provided with a plug-in matching portion 123. For example, the side of the top cover 113 facing the connecting frame 121 is provided with a groove, and the side of the connecting frame 121 facing the top cover 113 is provided with a tongue, or the side of the top cover 113 facing the connecting frame 121 is provided with a tongue, and the side of the connecting frame 121 facing the top cover 113 is provided with a slot, etc. When the plug-in fitting portion 123 and the plug-in fitting portion 117 are plugged in along the depth direction of the accommodating cavity 115, the special-shaped cabinet 120 can be assembled and sealed with the main cabinet 110. Among them, the plug-in fitting portion 117 and the plug-in fitting portion 123 can be set as a concave-convex matching structure, or a mortise and tenon structure, etc., which is not limited in this application.

[0036] Thus, when the refrigerator 10 provided by the present application is used, the cabinet body can be divided into two parts: a main cabinet body 110 and a special-shaped cabinet body 120. The main cabinet body 110 can be foamed separately through the heat preservation cavity formed by the outer shell 111, the inner shell 112 and the top cover 113. Correspondingly, the special-shaped cabinet body 120 can also be foamed separately. After the main cabinet body 110 and the special-shaped cabinet body 120 are foamed separately, the main cabinet body 110 and the special-shaped cabinet body 120 are plugged together through the plug-in portion 117 and the plug-in matching portion 123 to form a whole, which is used to adapt to the installation of the cabinet door 130, and the refrigerator 10 is used to cool and store items. In this way, the present application divides the cabinet body of the refrigerator 10 into two separate parts for assembly. If a new shape of cabinet door 130 or a new appearance of the refrigerator 10 is required, only the special-shaped cabinet body 120 needs to be replaced. The special-shaped cabinet body 120 is designed as required and then assembled with the main cabinet body 110. This is equivalent to the main cabinet body 110 being a universal part and the special-shaped cabinet body 120 being used as a replacement part. In this way, during the cabinet body production process of the refrigerator 10, the foaming mold only needs to be opened to produce the special-shaped cabinet body 120 part, and the main cabinet body 110 part does not need to be changed. Compared with the previous overall foaming method of the cabinet body, the present application only needs to re-foam the newly designed special-shaped cabinet body 120 part, thereby saving production costs and improving production efficiency.

[0037] In addition, in other embodiments, the main cabinet can also be split into multiple independently foamed parts for assembly through splicing. Special-shaped cabinets can also be split into multiple independently foamed parts for assembly through splicing. The refrigerator is not limited to being spliced ​​with one main cabinet and one special-shaped cabinet. There can be multiple main cabinets and multiple special-shaped cabinets, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0038] See also Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments, to improve the plugging stability of the special-shaped cabinet 120 and the main cabinet 110, the plug-in portion 117 is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion 118, and the plug-fitting portion 123 is provided with a snap-fitting portion 124 corresponding to the snap-fitting portion 118. When the plug-in portion 117 and the plug-fitting portion 123 are plugged together, the snap-fitting portion 118 snaps into the snap-fitting portion 124.

[0039] One of the plug-in portion 117 and the plug-fitting portion 123 may be a slot, and the other may be a tongue. The snap-fitting portion 118 and the snap-fitting portion 124 may be two elastic buckles or two barbed hook-shaped blocks, or may be a concave-convex interlocking structure or a mortise-and-tenon structure, etc., and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0040] As an example, the plug-in mating portion 123 connected to the connecting frame 121 is configured as a tongue. A slot is provided in the top cover 113. The slot includes a first sidewall 117a and a second sidewall 117b disposed opposite each other. The tongue includes a first mating portion 123a, a second mating portion 123b, and multiple supporting portions 123c. The first mating portion 123a is connected to the connecting frame 121 and abuts against the first sidewall 117a. The second mating portion 123b is connected to the connecting frame 121 and spaced apart from the first mating portion 123a. The second mating portion 123b abuts against the second sidewall 117b. Each supporting portion 123c is connected between the first mating portion 123a and the second mating portion 123b and spaced apart from each other.

[0041] Define the direction indicated by the X direction in the figure as the left, and the direction indicated by the opposite direction of X as the right. Thus, when the tongue is inserted into the slot, the first and second mating portions 123a, 123b, acting as the tongue's left and right sides, can respectively mate with the left and right side walls of the slot. Simultaneously, the support portion 123c between the first and second mating portions 123a, 123b provides support between the first and second mating portions 123a, 123b, increasing the squeezing force of the first mating portion 123a on the first side wall 117a and the squeezing force of the second mating portion 123b on the second side wall 117b. This ensures that, after the tongue is inserted into the slot, its left and right sides are tightly connected to the slot, enhancing the sealing effect of the insertion.

[0042] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion 118 can be disposed on the first sidewall 117a, and the snap-fit ​​portion 124 can be disposed on the first mating portion 123a. After the tongue is inserted into the slot, the snap-fit ​​portion 118 snaps into engagement with the snap-fit ​​portion 124. For example, the snap-fit ​​portion 118 includes an elastic block, and the snap-fit ​​portion 124 includes a retaining hole. The retaining hole is disposed between two adjacent support portions 123c to form a retaining groove 125. When the elastic block and the retaining hole are engaged, a portion of the tongue is disposed between the bottom wall of the slot and the elastic block.

[0043] Thus, when the tongue enters the slot, the first engaging portion 123a presses against the first sidewall 117a, allowing the elastic block to pass through the limiting hole and enter the limiting groove 125 between the two supporting portions 123c, thereby achieving a snap-fitting and positioning of the tongue and the slot, and improving the stability of the insertion between the tongue and the slot. At the same time, after the elastic block engages with the limiting hole, a portion of the tongue is positioned between the bottom wall of the slot and the elastic block. The engagement of the elastic block and the limiting hole allows the tongue to be positioned in the Y direction. Furthermore, the pressing between the second engaging portion 123b and the second sidewall 117b also allows the tongue to be positioned in the X direction, thereby improving the stability of the insertion between the tongue and the slot, and thereby improving the assembly stability of the main cabinet 110 and the special-shaped cabinet 120.

[0044] Furthermore, elastic blocks can be spaced apart along the length of the slot on the first sidewall 117a, and limiting holes can be spaced apart along the length of the tongue on the first mating portion 123a. This allows the tongue to be inserted into the slot, allowing the portion of the first sidewall 117a without the elastic blocks to press against the portion of the tongue without the limiting holes, thereby increasing the contact area between the tongue and the slot and enhancing the sealing effect.

[0045] In some embodiments, to facilitate the entry of the elastic block into the retaining hole, the elastic block may be provided with a guide surface. For example, the guide surface of the elastic block may be arranged to slope downward in the direction opposite to the X direction, or may be configured as an arcuate surface. This way, when the tongue is inserted into the slot, the elastic block is guided into the retaining hole by the guide surface, facilitating the engagement of the elastic block with the retaining hole.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion 118 may also be disposed on the second side wall 117 b , and the snap-fitting portion 124 may be disposed on the second fitting portion 123 b , which is not limited in this application.

[0047] In some embodiments, in order to further improve the plug-in stability between the main cabinet 110 and the special-shaped cabinet 120, taking the slot provided on the top cover 113 as an example, a first abutment portion 113a is provided on the side where the top cover 113 is connected to the outer shell 111, and a second abutment portion 113b is provided on the side where the top cover 113 is connected to the inner shell 112, and the slot is provided between the first abutment portion 113a and the second abutment portion 113b.

[0048] In this way, when the tongue enters the slot, the first abutting portion 113a and the second abutting portion 113b of the top cover can provide support for the slot on the left and right sides of the slot, respectively, to increase the squeezing force between the slot and the tongue, further improving the plugging stability of the slot and the tongue. As an example, the first abutting portion 113a includes a top cover flange. The top cover flange is wrapped around the outer wall of the shell 111 or fits against the inner wall of the shell 111. In this way, the top cover flange can both provide support for the slot and seal with the shell 111. The second abutting portion 113b includes a top cover step surface 113c. In this way, the top cover step surface 113c can both provide support for the slot and cooperate with the cabinet door 130 assembly of the refrigerator 10 for installation.

[0049] In some embodiments, to accommodate the installation of the cabinet door 130 , the special-shaped cabinet body 120 includes a special-shaped shell 126 connected to the connecting frame 121 . The special-shaped shell 126 can be processed into different shapes according to the shape of the cabinet door 130 .

[0050] See also Figures 8 to 10 , Figure 8 This is a structural diagram of the special-shaped cabinet 120 of the present application from another perspective. Figure 9 for Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the internal structure in which a connecting shell 1263 is plugged into the front shell 1261 and the rear shell 1262. Figure 10 for Figure 9 Enlarged view at point C in the middle. As an example, the special-shaped shell 126 includes a front shell 1261, a rear shell 1262 and two connecting shells 1263. The front shell 1261, the rear shell 1262 and each connecting shell 1263 are respectively connected to the connecting frame 121, and are sequentially connected along the circumference of the matching cabinet opening 122 to form a cavity for adapting and installing the cabinet door 130 assembly. Among them, the front shell 1261 has a height extending along the depth direction of the accommodating cavity 115, for example, the front shell 1261 has a height in the Y direction. The rear shell 1262 is arranged opposite to the front shell 1261. In the height direction along the front shell 1261, the height of the rear shell 1262 is greater than the height of the front shell 1261. Each connecting shell 1263 is respectively inserted between the front shell 1261 and the rear shell 1262 and is spaced apart from each other.

[0051] With this arrangement, when the refrigerator 10 is on display, the front housing 1261 can be placed facing the user, and the portion of the rear housing 1262 that is higher than the front housing 1261 can be used to add a display device such as a billboard or price list, so that the user can choose the items in the refrigerator 10. There are many types of display devices, including cards, display screens, or display lights.

[0052] At the same time, in order to facilitate the installation of a display device on the rear shell 1262, the rear shell 1262 includes a rear outer shell 1262a, a rear inner shell 1262b, and a load-bearing shell 1262c. The rear outer shell 1262a is connected between the two connecting shells 1263 and is connected to the connecting frame 121. The rear inner shell 1262b is connected between the two connecting shells 1263, and is provided between the rear outer shell 1262a and the front shell 1261, and is connected to the connecting frame 121. The load-bearing shell 1262c is connected between the two connecting shells 1263 and between the rear outer shell 1262a and the rear inner shell 1262b. In the height direction along the front shell 1261, the load-bearing shell 1262c is arranged higher than the front shell 1261. In this way, the load-bearing shell 1262c can be used to assemble the cabinet door 130 assembly with the front shell 1261, and the rear inner shell 1262b and the rear shell outer shell are used to support the load-bearing shell 1262c and increase the height of the rear shell 1262 relative to the front shell 1261. In this way, the rear inner shell 1262b can also be used to install display devices to enhance the display effect of the refrigerator 10.

[0053] In addition, when the rear housing 1262 is arranged higher than the front housing 1261, the cabinet door 130 assembly can be tilted in the direction from the front housing 1261 to the rear housing 1262. To accommodate the installation of the cabinet door 130 assembly, the tops of the connecting housings 1263 on both sides of the special-shaped cabinet 120 are tilted in the direction from the front housing 1261 to the rear housing 1262 along the height direction of the front housing 1261.

[0054] Among them, the cabinet door 130 assembly can be set as a flat cabinet door 130 or a curved cabinet door 130. When the cabinet door 130 assembly is set as a curved cabinet door 130, the top of each connecting shell 1263 is also set in an arc shape. The curved concave surface of each connecting shell 1263 can be set to face away from the rear shell 1262, that is, it can be recessed into the accommodating cavity 115 to adapt to the installation of the reverse-arc cabinet door 130 assembly. The cabinet door 130 assembly is usually set as a transparent glass plate. The connecting shell 1263 set in this way can be adapted to the installation of the cabinet door 130 assembly, so as to focus the user's sight through the reverse-arc structure and increase the display space of the internal storage space of the refrigerator 10, providing the user with a larger purchasing perspective.

[0055] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the arc-shaped concave surface of each connecting shell 1263 can also be set to face the rear shell 1262 to adapt to the installation of the positive arc cabinet door 130 component, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0056] In some embodiments, to accommodate the elevated rear housing 1262, connecting housings 1263 on either side can be plugged into and installed with the front housing 1261 and rear housing 1262, respectively, to facilitate assembly of the housings. Taking one of the connecting housings 1263 as an example, the connecting housing 1263 includes an outer connecting housing 1263a and an inner connecting housing 1263b that plugs into the outer connecting housing 1263a. In the direction from the front housing 1261 to the rear housing 1262, the length of the inner connecting housing 1263b is shorter than the length of the outer connecting housing 1263a, thereby forming a front housing connecting slot 1263c and a rear housing connecting slot 1263d opposite the front housing connecting slot 1263c between the inner connecting housing 1263b and the outer connecting housing 1263a. The front housing 1261 plugs into the front housing connecting slots 1263c of the two connecting housings 1263, and the rear housing 1262 plugs into the rear housing connecting slots 1263d of the two connecting housings 1263.

[0057] In this way, the front shell 1261 and the rear shell 1262 are respectively plugged into and installed with the connecting shells 1263 on the left and right sides. Through the support of the connecting shells 1263 on both sides, the deformation of the rear shell 1262 due to the increase in height can be limited, thereby avoiding deformation of the special-shaped cabinet 120 and the main cabinet 110 after assembly.

[0058] It should be noted that the technical solutions or technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. 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. Any 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.
