Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of defrosting equipment, specifically a central beam assembly for a defrosting refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] As a storage device that can both refrigerate and thaw food, defrosting refrigerators are widely used in commercial and household settings. Typical defrosting refrigerators have only one storage compartment, but due to limited storage space, this has gradually become insufficient to meet user needs. Therefore, defrosting refrigerators with two storage compartments arranged vertically have emerged on the market, separated by a central beam assembly. However, existing defrosting refrigerators of this type lack a switch mechanism in their central beam assembly to control parameters within the storage compartments, such as lighting and temperature, when the door is opened or closed. Therefore, developing a defrosting refrigerator central beam assembly equipped with a switch mechanism is essential. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a central beam assembly for a defrosting refrigerator equipped with a switching component.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A central beam assembly for a defrosting refrigerator, comprising:

[0006] main body;

[0007] A first crossbeam is constructed at the lower front end of the main body;

[0008] A second crossbeam is positioned at a preset interval in front of the first crossbeam;

[0009] The upper cover plate is connected to the upper end of the first crossbeam and the upper front end of the main body;

[0010] A lower cover plate connected to the lower end of the second crossbeam and the lower end of the first crossbeam;

[0011] A switch component is disposed on the front side of the second crossbeam. The front side of the main body, together with the first crossbeam, the second crossbeam, the upper cover plate, and the lower cover plate, forms an assembly cavity. The assembly cavity is used to accommodate a circuit component that is electrically connected to the switch component.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the middle beam assembly provided by this utility model consists of a split main body, a first crossbeam, a second crossbeam, an upper cover plate, and a lower cover plate forming an assembly cavity. By setting the switch component on the front side of the second crossbeam, and using the formed assembly cavity to install the circuit component electrically connected to the switch component, the switch component is installed on the middle beam assembly, so that the defrosting refrigerator using this middle beam assembly can control the parameters in the storage cavity by opening and closing the cabinet door through the switch component.

[0013] Furthermore, the assembly cavity is filled with a foaming agent.

[0014] Furthermore, both the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate have at least two spaced ribs on their inner surfaces.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner surfaces of the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are respectively provided with slots that open outward and extend laterally, corresponding to the main body, the first crossbeam, and the second crossbeam. The main body, the first crossbeam, and the second crossbeam can be detached and inserted into the corresponding slots.

[0016] Furthermore, both sides of the inner surfaces of the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are connected with laterally extending retaining strips, and gaps are left between the retaining strips and the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate to form the slots.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer end of the card strip is angled to expand the opening of the slot.

[0018] Furthermore, the main body is composed of an upper plate and a lower plate, with the front side of the lower plate bent downwards to form the first crossbeam.

[0019] Furthermore, the upper plate has flanges on its left and right sides and rear side that are fixedly connected to the lower plate.

[0020] Furthermore, a water collection port is constructed on the upper rear side of the upper plate, and a water collection pipe connected to the water collection port is disposed between the upper plate and the lower plate. The water collection pipe is constructed with a water outlet located outside the main body.

[0021] Furthermore, the upper end face of the upper plate is inclined downward from its front side toward the water inlet to form a guide surface. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Figure 3 This is a 3D view of the central beam assembly;

[0024] Figure 4 This is a sectional view of the central beam assembly;

[0025] Figure 5 This is an exploded view of the central beam assembly. Detailed Implementation

[0026] The following describes a preferred embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A central beam assembly for a defrosting refrigerator, relating to defrosting refrigerators such as... Figure 1 As shown, it is equipped with an upper storage cavity 01 and a lower storage cavity 02. The middle beam assembly 03 separates the upper storage cavity 01 and the lower storage cavity 02. There are two cabinet doors 04, which are used to close the upper storage cavity 01 and the lower storage cavity 02 respectively.

[0028] See Figures 3 to 5 The middle beam assembly 03 includes a main body 1, a first crossbeam 2 constructed at the lower front end of the main body 1, a second crossbeam 3 disposed at a preset distance from the front of the first crossbeam 2, an upper cover plate 4 connected to the upper end of the first crossbeam 2 and the upper front end of the main body 1, and a lower cover plate 5 connected to the lower end of the second crossbeam 3 and the lower end of the first crossbeam 2. A switch member 6 is disposed on the front side of the second crossbeam 3. The front side of the main body 1, the first crossbeam 2, the second crossbeam 3, the upper cover plate 4, and the lower cover plate 5 enclose an assembly cavity 10, which is used to accommodate a circuit assembly (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the switch member 6.

[0029] See Figure 4 The assembly cavity 10 is filled with a foaming agent 101. The foaming agent 101 is existing technology, and its specific composition is not the point of invention of this utility model, so it will not be described in detail. The foaming agent 101 is filled in the assembly cavity 10 for two purposes: firstly, to position the circuit components, and secondly, to fill the gaps in the assembly cavity 10 and improve the strength of the middle beam components.

[0030] See Figures 3 to 5 The inner surfaces of the upper cover plate 4 and the lower cover plate 5 are provided with at least two spaced ribs 102. The ribs 102 can improve the strength of the upper and lower cover plates on the one hand, and provide an adhesion position for the foaming agent 101 on the other hand, thereby increasing the connection area between the foaming agent 101 and the upper and lower cover plates.

[0031] See Figures 3 to 5The inner surfaces of the upper cover plate 4 and the lower cover plate 5 are respectively provided with outward-facing and laterally extending slots 103 corresponding to the main body 1, the first crossbeam 2, and the second crossbeam 3. The main body 1, the first crossbeam 2, and the second crossbeam 3 can be detachably inserted into the corresponding slots 103. Specifically, both sides of the inner surfaces of the upper cover plate 4 and the lower cover plate 5 are connected to laterally extending retaining strips 104, with gaps between the retaining strips 104 and the upper cover plate 4 and the lower cover plate 5 to form the slots 103. The above-described arrangement of the upper and lower cover plates makes installation and disassembly convenient and quick, which is beneficial for assembling circuit components.

[0032] See Figure 4 To make the upper and lower cover plates easier to assemble, the outer end of the locking strip 104 is inclined to expand the opening of the slot 103.

[0033] See Figure 5 The main body 1 is composed of an upper plate 11 and a lower plate 12. The front side of the lower plate 12 is bent downward to form the first crossbeam 2. The lower plate 12 and the first crossbeam 2 adopt an integral structure, which effectively improves their strength and rigidity.

[0034] See Figure 3 and Figure 5 The upper plate 11 is provided with flanges 13 on its left and right sides and rear side, which are fixedly connected to the lower plate 12. The flanges 13 are used to enclose the periphery of the main body 1 and improve its airtightness.

[0035] See Figures 3 to 5 The upper rear end of the upper plate 11 is provided with a water collection port 14. A water collection pipe 15 is provided between the upper plate 11 and the lower plate 12 to connect the water collection port 14. The water collection pipe 15 is provided with a water outlet 16 located outside the main body 1. The above arrangement can effectively prevent liquid from accumulating on the surface of the main body 1 and play the role of clearing water.

[0036] See Figure 3 In order to better guide the water, the upper end face of the upper plate 11 is inclined downward from its front side toward the water collection port 14 to form a guide surface 17.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the middle beam assembly provided by this utility model consists of a split main body 1, a first crossbeam 2, a second crossbeam 3, an upper cover plate 4, and a lower cover plate 5 forming an assembly cavity 10. By setting the switch component 6 on the front side of the second crossbeam 3, and using the formed assembly cavity 10 to install a circuit component electrically connected to the switch component 6, the switch component 6 is set on the middle beam assembly, so that the defrosting refrigerator using this middle beam assembly can control the parameters in the storage cavity when opening and closing the cabinet door through the switch component 6.

[0038] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
