Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a refrigerator liner and a refrigerator equipped with the same. Background Technology

[0002] Traditionally, refrigerators consist of a refrigerator liner, which comprises a liner body and a divider beam. Inside the liner body is a receiving chamber. Horizontally, sliding supports for drawers are installed on the inner wall of this chamber. The two ends of the divider beam are detachably mounted on opposite inner walls of the receiving chamber, either horizontally or vertically. This liner provides support for the drawers, facilitating their pulling out. When the divider beam is installed horizontally, the liner can be used as a French door refrigerator liner; when installed vertically, it can be used as a cross-door refrigerator liner. This versatility improves the liner's versatility, allowing it to serve as both a vacuum forming mold and a foaming mold for both French door and cross-door refrigerators. This saves on mold costs, reduces mold changeover time during production, and increases production efficiency.

[0003] However, in the existing refrigerators described above, the shelf assembly has many components, a complex structure, cumbersome installation steps, high cost, and occupies a large amount of internal space. Moreover, the shelf assembly is a structure that is foamed together with the refrigerator and cannot be disassembled for repair, making maintenance inconvenient. Furthermore, the shelf assembly must be a single piece and cannot have a hollow structure, which further increases the internal space occupied by the refrigerator. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model is the result of careful research in view of the above-mentioned problems. Its purpose is to provide a cabinet liner with a simple, reliable and low-cost partition installation structure that is easy to maintain and disassemble later, and can reduce the occupancy of the refrigerator's internal volume, as well as a refrigerator equipped with the same.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the refrigerator liner of this utility model includes a liner body having a top surface and a bottom surface, a partition assembly fixed between the top surface and the bottom surface, and a vertical beam disposed at the front of the liner. Multiple mounting grooves are formed on the top surface and the bottom surface, and multiple fixing posts are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the partition assembly. The mounting grooves have clearance openings for the fixing posts to be inserted obliquely into the mounting grooves. Claws are provided in the mounting grooves to hold the partition assembly in place, and the partition assembly is fixed to the vertical beam. This design provides a simple, reliable, and low-cost partition installation structure, facilitates later maintenance and disassembly, and reduces the amount of space occupied inside the refrigerator. Furthermore, the ease of assembly and disassembly allows for DIY customization by replacing partitions with different colors.

[0006] Alternatively, in the box liner described above, the partition assembly may include a first partition and a second partition, which are connected by multiple snap-fit ​​fasteners and fixed with screws. This achieves a more reliable partition assembly that is simple in structure, easy to install, and low in cost.

[0007] Alternatively, in the box liner described above, a reinforcing member can be provided between the first partition and the second partition. This reliably strengthens the partition.

[0008] Alternatively, in the box liner of the present invention described above, the partition assembly can also be fixed to the vertical beam by screws.

[0011] Alternatively, in the box liner of the present invention described above, the thickness of the partition assembly can be set according to the load-bearing capacity of the drawer.

[0012] Furthermore, in the refrigerator liner described above, a portion of the partition assembly can be formed into a hollow shape. By forming hollow areas in the partition assembly that do not require structural support, the amount of space occupied within the refrigerator can be further reduced. Moreover, the hollow shape can be integrated with the airflow design within the refrigerator compartment, thereby improving the refrigerator's cooling performance.

[0013] Alternatively, in the box liner of the present invention described above, the partition assembly may also be made of polystyrene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, polypropylene, or metal.

[0014] The refrigerator involved in this utility model includes the aforementioned refrigerator liner.

[0015] According to this utility model, a refrigerator with a simple, reliable, and low-cost partition installation structure is provided, which is convenient for later maintenance and disassembly and can reduce the occupancy of the refrigerator's internal volume. Attached Figure Description
