Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a refrigerator. Background Technology
[0002] In existing refrigerators, various components need to be installed using screws. However, there is a technical problem where the screw mounting holes for various components cannot be precisely located, leading to assembly deviations during installation. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model is the result of careful research in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a refrigerator that can clearly locate the screw mounting holes and reliably avoid assembly deviations during installation.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the refrigerator of this utility model includes a cabinet, an inner liner, a foaming agent filling layer located between the cabinet and the inner liner, an embedded part pre-attached to the inner liner before the foaming agent is filled into the foaming agent filling layer, and a mounting component fastened to the inner liner by screws. The embedded part includes a screw post with a screw hole, a bottom wall portion connected to the root of the screw post, and a side wall portion erected from the outer periphery of the bottom wall portion and surrounding the screw post. The screw hole is positioned to engage with a protrusion formed in the inner liner. The screw mounting hole of the mounting component is aligned with a recess corresponding to the protrusion. The screw is screwed into the screw hole from the screw mounting hole through the recess. In this way, the screw holes are positioned by engaging with the protrusions formed in the inner liner, and the screw mounting holes of the mounting components are aligned with the corresponding recesses of the protrusions. This allows the screw holes to precisely engage with the protrusions of the inner liner, achieving accurate positioning. Furthermore, the screw mounting holes are clearly positioned, thus reliably preventing assembly deviations during installation as the screw is screwed into the screw hole through the recess. Moreover, because the screw holes can quickly engage with the protrusions of the inner liner with high installation accuracy, even if the screw is misaligned during screwing and strips the threads, the operator can promptly detect and correct the issue.
[0005] Furthermore, in the refrigerator described above, the embedded part can also be triangular in shape when viewed along its height. This prevents the embedded part from rotating within the foaming agent filling layer when screws are tightened in after foaming, and also enhances its load-bearing capacity. Moreover, the triangular structure of the embedded part allows for quick installation at any angle.
[0006] In addition, in the refrigerator described above, the refrigerator may also include an adhesive component. One side of the adhesive component is adhered to the bottom wall, and the other side is adhered to the inner liner. A through hole is formed in the adhesive component to expose the screw holes. Thus, by adhering one side of the adhesive component to the bottom wall and the other side to the inner liner, the embedded part can be firmly joined to the inner liner to prevent movement of the embedded part during foaming. Furthermore, by forming a through hole in the adhesive component to expose the screw holes, the screw holes and protrusions can be quickly positioned.
[0007] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, an induction bevel can be formed at the root of the screw post. This induction bevel allows the embedded part to quickly engage and accurately position with the protrusion of the inner liner.
[0008] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, the front end of the screw post can also be closed. This prevents the screw from penetrating and hitting components inside the foaming agent filling layer.
[0009] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, an iron plate can be installed at the front end of the screw post. This increases the strength of the front end of the screw post, thereby further preventing the screw from penetrating and hitting components inside the foaming agent filling layer.
[0010] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, a groove may be formed in the side wall. This allows the foaming agent to flow from the side into the embedded part for filling, even in confined spaces where the foaming agent cannot easily flow from the top of the embedded part, thereby increasing the torque when screwing in the screws.
[0011] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, the screw hole can also be formed in a conical shape. This effectively improves the fastening effect.
[0012] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, the embedded part can also be made of transparent polypropylene material. This allows operators to easily locate the holes and install it quickly.
[0013] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, the mounting component may be a pair of partitions installed in the compartment formed by the inner liner.
[0014] According to this utility model, a refrigerator can be provided that can clearly locate the screw mounting holes and reliably avoid assembly deviations during installation. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the drawings, identical or equivalent elements are marked with the same symbols, and repeated descriptions are omitted. Furthermore, positional relationships such as up, down, left, and right are not specifically described, but are based on the positional relationships shown in the drawings. Moreover, the scale of the drawings is not limited to the scale shown in the illustrations, except as used in the actual drawings.
[0022] Furthermore, it should be understood that the embodiments listed in this specification are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the present invention to these embodiments. Rather, as those skilled in the art will understand, the present invention includes various alternatives, modifications, and equivalents.
[0023] In this specification, it should be understood that terms such as “comprising,” “including,” and “having” mean the presence of features, quantities, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof, but do not exclude the presence of one or more other features, quantities, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.
[0024] Figure 1 This is an exploded perspective view showing the general structure of the refrigerator according to this embodiment. Figure 2 This is a perspective view showing the general structure of the embedded parts and adhesive components involved in this embodiment. Figure 3 This is a front view showing the protrusion of the inner liner according to this embodiment. Figure 4 This is a side view showing the protrusion of the inner liner according to this embodiment. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram showing the assembly of the embedded part and the protrusion of the inner liner involved in this embodiment.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator 1 according to this embodiment includes a cabinet 10, an inner liner 20, a foaming agent filling layer (not shown) located between the cabinet 10 and the inner liner 20, an embedded part 30 pre-joined to the inner liner 20 before the foaming agent is filled into the foaming agent filling layer, and a pair of partitions 40 as mounting parts fastened to the inner liner 20 by screws.
[0026] In this embodiment, as an example, the mounting component is described as a pair of partitions 40 installed in the compartment P formed by the inner liner 20. However, it is not limited to this, and any mounting component can be any component that is fastened to the inner liner by screws.
[0027] Embedded parts 30 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it includes a screw post portion 302 with a screw hole 301, a bottom wall portion 303 connected to the root of the screw post portion 302, and a side wall portion 304 erected from the outer periphery of the bottom wall portion 303 and surrounding the screw post portion 302.
[0028] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, the screw hole 301 is positioned to engage with the protrusion 201 formed in the inner liner 20. Thus, by positioning the screw hole in this way, it can be precisely positioned to fit into the protrusion of the inner liner.
[0029] Furthermore, when the partition 40 is fastened to the inner liner 20, the screw mounting holes of the partition 40 are aligned with the recesses 202 corresponding to the protrusions 201. In this way, by aligning the screw mounting holes with the recesses corresponding to the protrusions, the screw mounting holes can be precisely positioned.
[0030] Therefore, when the screw is screwed into the screw hole through the recess, assembly deviations during installation can be reliably avoided. Furthermore, because the screw hole can quickly mate with the protrusion of the inner liner with high installation precision, even if the screw is misaligned during screwing and strips, the operator can promptly detect and correct it.
[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is preferable that the embedded part 30 is triangular in shape when viewed along its height. This prevents the embedded part from rotating within the foaming agent filling layer when screws are tightened in after foaming, and also enhances its load-bearing capacity. Moreover, the triangular structure of the embedded part allows for rapid installation at any angle.
[0032] In addition, in this embodiment, the refrigerator 1 also includes an adhesive component 50. Double-sided adhesive is preferably used as the adhesive component 50.
[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, one side of the adhesive component 50 is adhered to the bottom wall portion 303, and the other side of the adhesive component 50 is adhered to the inner liner 20. In this way, by adhering one side of the adhesive component to the bottom wall portion and the other side to the inner liner, the embedded part can be firmly joined to the inner liner to prevent the embedded part from moving during foaming.
[0034] In the adhesive component 50, a through hole 501 is formed to expose the screw hole 301. In this way, by forming a through hole in the adhesive component to expose the screw hole, the screw hole and the protrusion can be quickly positioned.
[0035] In addition, in this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a guide slope 305 is formed at the root of the screw post 302. This guide slope allows the embedded part to quickly engage and precisely position with the protrusion of the inner liner.
[0036] In addition, in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the front end of the screw post 302 is closed. This prevents the screw from penetrating and hitting the components inside the foam filler layer.
[0037] In this embodiment, a metal plate may also be installed at the front end of the screw post 302. This increases the strength of the front end of the screw post, thereby further preventing the screw from penetrating and hitting the components inside the foam filler layer.
[0038] In addition, in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As described above, a groove 306 is formed in the side wall portion 304. In this way, even when the installation space is small and it is difficult for the foaming agent to flow from the top of the embedded part, it can flow into the embedded part from the side to fill it, thereby improving the torque when screwing in the screw.
[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the screw hole 301 is preferably formed in a tapered shape. This effectively improves the fastening effect.
[0040] In this embodiment, the embedded part can be made of transparent polypropylene. This allows operators to easily locate the holes and install it quickly.
[0041] According to this utility model, a refrigerator can be provided that can clearly locate the screw mounting holes and reliably avoid assembly deviations during installation.
[0042] The embodiments of this utility model have been described above; however, this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described above. Those skilled in the art can make modifications and variations to this utility model as needed without departing from its essential spirit and scope. All such modifications and variations fall within the scope of this utility model.
