[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 5 According to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, the refrigerator air duct structure includes a cabinet body 100 and a first plate 200. The cabinet body 100 has a first cavity 110 with a front opening 120 facing forward. The first plate 200 can be installed in the first cavity 110 through the front opening 120, and the first plate 200 can divide the first cavity 110 into an air duct cavity 111 and a receiving cavity 112. The receiving cavity 112 is located in front of the air duct cavity 111, and there is a first gap 210 and a second gap 220 between the first plate 200 and the side wall of the first cavity 110. The first gap 210 is an air outlet, and the second gap 220 is an air inlet. The air outlet is connected to the air duct cavity 111 and the receiving cavity 112, and the air inlet is connected to the air duct cavity 111 and the receiving cavity 112. During manufacturing and assembly, the first plate can be inserted and connected from the front opening 120 of the first cavity 110. At this time, the first plate can divide the first cavity 110 into an air duct cavity 111 and a receiving cavity 112. The assembly is relatively simple. The air duct cavity 111 can have a driving mechanism to drive the air flow, while the receiving cavity 112 is used to place items. After the first plate is assembled into the first cavity 110, the first gap 210 and the second gap 220 formed with the side wall serve as the air outlet and air inlet. Therefore, there is no need to drill holes to process the air outlet. The air outlet can be formed by assembly, which has low manufacturing cost and the air inlet and outlet can also be hidden.

[0033] Specifically, the cabinet 100 has a first cavity 110 inside. The front opening 120 of the first cavity 110 is for placing objects. The first panel 200 can be inserted into and connected to the first cavity 110 through the front opening 120. The specific connection method is not limited here. The first panel 200 can be installed vertically in the first cavity 110, dividing the front and rear parts of the first cavity 110. The front part is a receiving cavity 112, which is a cavity for placing objects, while the rear part is an air duct cavity 111. It can be understood that a fan, refrigeration equipment, and heating equipment can be installed in the air duct cavity 111. After the first panel 200 is installed, it connects with the first cavity 110. The side wall of the cavity 110 has a first gap 210 and a second gap 220. The positions of the first gap 210 and the second gap 220 are not limited here. The first gap 210 and the second gap 220 connect the receiving cavity 112 and the air duct cavity 111, and can form an air inlet and an air outlet to realize air circulation. It can refrigerate or heat the objects in the receiving cavity 112. The first gap 210 and the second gap 220 are located at the edge, which has good concealment and meets the user's needs. Furthermore, the first plate can be assembled to form an air inlet and outlet without the need to process holes or assemble a fan cover, which can simplify the production process and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0034] Understandably, the first plate 200 can also be placed horizontally to separate the receiving cavity 112 from the air duct cavity 111 vertically.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, a first gap 210 is provided between the top of the first plate 200 and the upper sidewall of the first cavity 110, and a second gap 220 is provided between the bottom of the first plate 200 and the lower sidewall of the first cavity 110. Specifically, the first gap 210 can be located at the upper part, and the second gap 220 can be located at the lower part, so that the air outlet is located at the upper part of the first cavity 110, and the air inlet is located at the lower part of the first cavity 110. During cooling, cold air can be output from the upper part, and after cooling the object, air is introduced from the lower air inlet, resulting in a good cooling effect.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the upper side wall of the first cavity 110 is provided with a guide section 113, which can guide the air in the air duct cavity 111 to the air outlet. Specifically, the guide section 113 can gather and guide the air in the air duct cavity 111 to the air outlet for air discharge. The specific structure of the guide section 113 is not limited here.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments of this utility model, the air guide 113 is inclined upward in a rear-to-forward direction and is located behind the first gap 210. Specifically, the air guide 113 can be configured as an inclined plate. It is understood that the air guide 113 can be stamped. The air guide 113, which is inclined upward in a rear-to-forward direction, can gradually gather the air in the air duct cavity 111 to the first gap 210, thereby improving the air outlet effect. Furthermore, the inclined air guide 113 is located behind the first gap 210, so that the first gap 210 does not directly communicate with the air duct cavity 111. Thus, the air guide 113 can also play a blocking role, preventing the components in the air duct cavity 111 from being exposed.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the lower sidewall of the first cavity 110 is provided with an upwardly protruding blocking portion 114, and the upper part of the blocking portion 114 and the bottom of the first plate 200 define a second gap 220. Specifically, the upward protrusion of the blocking portion 114 can prevent condensate in the receiving cavity 112 from entering the air duct cavity 111, making it difficult for water to accumulate in the air duct cavity 111. Furthermore, the blocking portion 114 can also cooperate with the second gap 220 to improve the concealment of the air inlet.

[0039] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the blocking part 114 has a baffle 1141 and a guide plate 1142. The baffle 1141 is vertically arranged, and the guide plate 1142 is disposed on the top of the baffle 1141. The guide plate 1142 is inclined upward in the front-to-back direction, and the guide plate 1142 and the bottom of the first plate 200 define a second gap 220. Specifically, the blocking part 114 can be formed by stamping to make it protrude upward, and can be configured as a baffle 1141 and a guide plate 1142. The baffle 1141 can be vertically arranged to play a blocking role, while the guide plate 1142 is inclined upward in the front-to-back direction to play a guiding role, so as to facilitate air intake, and can also return the formed condensate towards the receiving cavity 112.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the cabinet 100 includes a first housing 130 and a second housing 140. The first housing 130 extends through the front and rear directions, with a front opening 120 on the front side and a rear opening on the rear side. The second housing 140 is connected to the rear side of the first housing 130 and seals the rear opening to define the first cavity 110. Specifically, the first housing 130 and the second housing 140 can be spliced ​​to form the cabinet 100, which is convenient for manufacturing. The first housing 130 is a side frame assembly that extends through the front and rear, allowing the first panel 200 to be assembled from the rear opening. Installing the second housing 140 after assembling the first panel improves the ease of assembly.

[0041] It should be noted that the second housing 140 may be provided with an air guide 113 and a blocking part 114, and the air guide 113 and the blocking part 114 may be manufactured by stamping, which facilitates assembly and manufacturing.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, a connecting structure 300 is also included, through which the first plate 200 can be connected to the second housing 140. Specifically, the first plate can also be first connected to the second housing 140 through the connecting structure 300, and then the second housing 140 can be connected and assembled with the first housing 130 to form the air duct cavity 111 and the receiving cavity 112. The specific structure of the connecting structure 300 is not limited here.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting structure 300 includes a connector 310, a first connecting portion 320, and a second connecting portion 330. The first connecting portion 320 is disposed on the first plate 200, and the second connecting portion 330 is disposed on the second housing 140. The connector 310 can be connected to the first connecting portion 320 and the second connecting portion 330. Specifically, the connector 310 can be connected to the first connecting portion 320 first, and then the first plate 200 is mated with the second housing 140. At this time, the connector 310 can be connected to the second connecting portion 330, which makes assembly more convenient.

[0044] It is conceivable that multiple sets of connecting structures 300 can be set and arranged around the circumference of the first plate 200. The connector 310 can be provided with connecting holes and fasteners. The first connecting part 320 can be provided as a connecting hole. The connector 310 can be connected to the first connecting part 320 by fasteners. The second connecting part 330 can be provided as a slot. After the connector 310 is installed on the first plate 200, the first plate 200 can be connected to the second housing 140. At this time, the fastener can be engaged with the slot, making installation relatively convenient.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 According to a second aspect of the present invention, a beverage cabinet includes a beverage cabinet with the above-mentioned refrigeration duct structure.
