[0034] This utility model proposes a refrigerator designed to improve the uniformity of cooling temperature in a multi-cavity refrigerator. This refrigerator is typically mounted in a vehicle, but it can also be used independently, for example, as an outdoor refrigerator or a mini portable refrigerator. The following description focuses on its typical vehicle-mounted configuration.

[0035] In this application scenario, refrigerators generally include compressor-type refrigerators, thermoelectric (semiconductor refrigeration) refrigerators, or hybrid compressor-thermoelectric refrigerators. Compressor-type refrigerators include direct-cooling refrigerators and air-cooling refrigerators. This utility model mainly focuses on air-cooling refrigerators, or composite refrigerators with air-cooling systems. The following description uses an air-cooled vehicle refrigerator as an example. This refrigerator includes a refrigerator body and an evaporator fan. The refrigerator body generally includes the cabinet and refrigeration system, which are the necessary components of a refrigerator.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 6In this embodiment of the invention, the cabinet 100 is the main frame of the refrigerator. The cabinet 100 also typically serves as the mounting carrier for other refrigerator components. Generally, the cabinet 100 is also used for installation and fixation to the vehicle body. Furthermore, the cabinet 100 forms a storage cavity for storing food or other items. Further, the cabinet 100 typically includes an outer shell 110 and an inner shell 120, with an insulation space formed between the outer shell 110 and the inner shell 120. This insulation space is used to fill with insulation material and is typically the storage cavity.

[0037] In this embodiment, the number of storage cavities is multiple, for example, two, three, or four. When there are three storage cavities, all three cavities may share one fan, or two of the three storage cavities may share one fan. When there are four storage cavities, each of the four cavities may share one fan, or two or three of the four storage cavities may share one fan. The following description uses two storage cavities as an example; for ease of explanation, the first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102 will be used.

[0038] The refrigeration system 200 is responsible for regulating the temperature inside the storage cavity to maintain it at a suitable low temperature, thereby achieving the purpose of refrigeration or freezing. The refrigeration system 200 typically includes components such as a compressor 210, a condenser 220, an evaporator 240, and an evaporator fan 260. The compressor 210, the condenser 220, and the evaporator 240 are interconnected to form a refrigerant circulation heat exchange loop. In some embodiments, the refrigeration system 200 also includes a condenser fan 230. Of course, in other embodiments, combined with switching devices such as valves and pipelines, the refrigeration system 200 can also be used as a heating system.

[0039] The evaporator fan 260, which is the fan located on one side of the evaporator 240 when the refrigerator is used as a refrigeration device, drives air to flow inside the refrigerator. In addition, by accelerating the air flow, the evaporator fan 260 can also promote the heat exchange process of the evaporator 240. The fan makes the cold air pass through the evaporator 240 more quickly, improving the evaporation efficiency of the refrigerant and thus enhancing the refrigeration capacity of the refrigerator. The evaporator fan 260 typically includes a fan and its mounting components. The fan can be an axial fan or a centrifugal fan. Preferably, in this embodiment, an axial fan is preferred.

[0040] For ease of understanding and explanation, the following is attached to the specification of this utility model. Figures 1 to 6 In the diagram, the solid arrow indicates a cavity or opening.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 6In one embodiment of this utility model, the refrigerator includes a refrigerator body 11 and a fan assembly 201. The refrigerator body 11 is provided with a first storage cavity 101, a second storage cavity 102, a connecting port 106, and an air outlet 103. The air outlet 103 is connected to the first storage cavity 101, and the first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102 are connected through the connecting port 106. The fan assembly 201 is disposed on the refrigerator body 11, and the air outlet side of the fan assembly 201 is connected to the air outlet 103. The air outlet direction of the fan assembly 201 is set towards the connecting port 106.

[0042] The air outlet 103 is connected to the first storage cavity 101. It can be understood that the air outlet 103 is set on the shell that constitutes the first storage cavity 101. For the first storage cavity 101, the air outlet 103 is actually the cold air inlet of the first storage cavity 101. The cold air after passing through the evaporator fan 260 enters the first storage cavity 101 after exiting through the air outlet 103.

[0043] The first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102 are connected by a connecting port 106, which means that the first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102 can exchange airflow. The position and shape of the connecting port 106 are determined by the arrangement of the first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102.

[0044] The air outlet portion of the fan assembly 201 is oriented towards the connecting port 106, so that the cold air coming out from the air outlet 103 enters the second storage chamber 102 through the connecting port 106. This can be achieved in the following ways:

[0045] The fan assembly 201 includes an evaporator fan 260 and an air outlet grille 270. The air outlet surface of the evaporator fan 260 may be inclined towards the connecting port 106, or the air outlet grille 270 may be inclined towards the connecting port 106, or the air outlet surface of the evaporator fan 260 may be inclined towards the connecting port 106, and air guides such as the air outlet grille 270 may also be inclined towards the connecting port 106. In other embodiments, other air guides may be inclined towards the connecting port 106. The cold air exiting from the air outlet 103 can then enter the second storage chamber 102 through the connecting port 106.

[0046] The fan assembly 201 is disposed on the refrigerator body 11. The air outlet side of the fan assembly 201 is connected to the air outlet 103. This can be understood as the air outlet side of the fan assembly 201 being directly connected to the air outlet 103, or the air outlet side of the fan assembly 201 being connected to the air outlet 103 through a shorter air duct.

[0047] The technical solution of this utility model connects the air outlet side of the fan assembly 201 to the air outlet 103 located in the first storage cavity 101, and sets the air outlet direction of the fan assembly 201 towards the connection port 106 between the first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102. The air speed on the air outlet side of the fan assembly 201 is usually relatively fast. The air outlet direction of the fan assembly 201 is set towards the connection port 106, so that part of the airflow blown out from the fan assembly 201 flows directly to the first storage cavity 101, and part flows quickly to the second storage cavity 102. In this way, the fan assembly 201 can provide cold air to both storage cavities at the same time. The fan assembly 201 can push the air to flow in the first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102, so that the cold air can flow more evenly between the two storage cavities, thereby improving the temperature uniformity between the first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102.

[0048] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The fan assembly 201 includes an evaporator fan 260, which is located on the refrigerator body 11 and the air outlet of the evaporator fan 260 is inclined toward the communication port 106.

[0049] The air outlet surface of the evaporator fan 260 generally refers to the side of the evaporator fan 260 that generates and discharges airflow. In this utility model, the evaporator fan 260 can be an axial flow fan or a centrifugal fan. When the evaporator fan 260 is an axial flow fan, it includes a guide ring 262 and a fan wheel 261, with the air outlet surface inclined toward the connecting port 106. This can be achieved by the fan wheel 261 being inclined toward the connecting port 106, or by the air outlet end of the guide ring 262 being inclined toward the connecting port 106. When the evaporator fan 260 is a centrifugal fan, it includes a volute and an impeller. In this case, the air outlet surface is inclined toward the connecting port 106, typically by the fan outlet 103 located on the volute being inclined toward the connecting port 106.

[0050] In this embodiment, by tilting the air outlet of the evaporator fan 260 toward the connecting port 106, some of the cold air can flow more naturally into the second storage chamber 102, which can reduce the resistance of the airflow entering the second storage chamber 102, making the airflow smoother and reducing turbulence and eddies in the airflow. This helps to reduce the noise when the fan is working, and the smooth flow of airflow can also reduce the vibration in the duct.

[0051] In one embodiment, the refrigerator body 11 includes an outer shell 110, an inner shell 120 disposed within the outer shell 110, and an air duct partition 140 disposed within the inner shell 120. The air duct partition 140 has two opposing sides. One side of the air duct partition 140 and the inner shell 120 enclose each other to form a first storage cavity 101, and the other side of the air duct partition 140 and the inner shell 120 enclose each other to form a mounting cavity 105. An air outlet 103 is disposed at one end of the air duct partition 140 near the second storage cavity 102, and a fan assembly 201 is disposed in the mounting cavity 105 corresponding to the position of the air outlet 103.

[0052] The outer casing 110 typically serves as the external protective and support structure of the refrigerator, protecting the impeller 261, the air duct partition 140, and other components from external damage. At the same time, the outer casing 110 helps maintain the structural stability of the entire refrigerator and reduces the loosening of components caused by external forces such as vibration.

[0053] The inner shell 120 is located inside the outer shell 110. The inner shell 120 is mainly used to divide and isolate different functional areas (storage cavity or mounting cavity 105) or air duct space. The inner shell 120 can help to effectively guide airflow, organize air flow and form appropriate air flow channels.

[0054] The air duct baffle 140 serves to separate airflow channels within the refrigerator body 11. The main purpose of the air duct baffle 140 is to differentiate between exhaust and return air, allowing the cold air generated by the evaporator fan 260 to be smoothly delivered to target areas (e.g., the first storage compartment 101 and the second storage compartment 102), thereby improving airflow efficiency. The air duct baffle 140 and the inner shell 120 enclose a mounting cavity 105, in which the evaporator fan 260 is located. This mounting cavity 105 also communicates with the return air vent to form an internal circulation air duct within the refrigerator. Thus, by installing the evaporator fan 260 within the mounting cavity 105, direct contact between the evaporator fan 260 and other components is reduced. Furthermore, installing the evaporator fan 260 within the air duct baffle 140 facilitates its installation.

[0055] The air outlet 103 is located at one end of the air duct partition 140 near the second storage cavity 102. Since the location of the air outlet 103 determines the direction and path of air flow, placing the air outlet 103 at one end of the air duct partition 140 near the second storage cavity 102 can shorten the path of cold air into the second storage cavity 102, so that the cold air can cover the first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102 more quickly.

[0056] In this embodiment, the air duct baffle 140 divides the airflow channel into multiple cavities, optimizing the airflow path and improving the working efficiency of the evaporator fan 260. In addition, the air outlet 103 is directly connected to the first storage cavity 101, allowing cold air to directly enter the first storage cavity 101. The air outlet 103 is located at the end of the air duct baffle 140 near the second storage cavity 102, and the fan assembly 201 is installed at the position corresponding to the air outlet 103, which can shorten the path for cold air to enter the second storage cavity 102. In this way, cold air can cover the first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102 more quickly, thereby improving the temperature uniformity between the first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102.

[0057] Furthermore, the air duct baffle 140 includes a baffle body 141 and a mounting portion 142 disposed on the baffle body 141. The mounting portion 142 is located at one end of the baffle body 141 near the second storage cavity 102. The air outlet 103 is disposed on the mounting portion 142. The evaporator fan 260 is installed on the mounting portion 142 corresponding to the position of the air outlet 103. The mounting portion 142 is inclined towards the communication port 106 from its connection with the baffle body 141.

[0058] The duct baffle 140 includes a baffle body 141 and a mounting part 142 disposed on the baffle body 141. It can be understood that the duct baffle 140 not only includes its body structure, but also has a mounting part 142 disposed thereon. The mounting part 142 plays the role of supporting and fixing other components (such as air outlet 103 and evaporator fan 260).

[0059] The evaporator fan 260 is installed on the mounting part 142 at the position corresponding to the air outlet 103. This can be understood as the air outlet side of the fan assembly 201 being directly connected to the air outlet 103. The mounting part 142 is inclined towards the communication port 106 from its connection with the partition body 141. By tilting the mounting part 142 towards the communication port 106, the airflow discharged by the evaporator fan 260 can pass through the air outlet 103 more smoothly and effectively enter the second storage chamber 102. This optimizes the guiding path of the cold air, reduces the resistance in the flow of cold air, and improves the cooling efficiency.

[0060] Considering that an excessively large tilt angle of the evaporator fan 260 would affect its layout with the evaporator 240 and involve space occupation, and that such an excessively large tilt angle would also affect the amount of cold air absorbed by the fan through the evaporator 240, in a preferred embodiment, the tilt angle of the mounting part 142 is no greater than 30°.

[0061] The tilt angle of the mounting part 142 is as follows: Figure 5As shown in Figure ɑ, the mounting part 142 is inclined toward the communication port 106 from its connection with the partition body 141. This can be understood as follows: Figure 3 The shape shown is bent to Figure 5 The shape shown.

[0062] For example, the tilt angle α of the mounting part 142 can be 5°, 8°, 10°, 12°, 15°, 16°, 18°, 20°, 22°, 24°, 25°, 26°, 27°, 28° or 30°.

[0063] In one exemplary embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The evaporator fan 260 includes an air guide ring 262 and a fan wheel 261 disposed on the air guide ring 262. The air guide ring 262 is disposed on the mounting part 142 at the position corresponding to the air outlet 103, and the fan wheel 261 is inclined toward the communication port 106.

[0064] The wind turbine 261 is inclined toward the connecting port 106. That is, the large surface of the wind turbine 261 faces the connecting port 106, but not directly. Instead, it is inclined at a certain angle.

[0065] Based on any of the foregoing embodiments, the fan assembly 201 includes an evaporator fan 260 and an air outlet grille 270. The evaporator fan 260 is disposed on the refrigerator body 11, and the air outlet grille 270 is disposed on the refrigerator body 11 at the position corresponding to the air outlet 103. The air outlet grille 270 is located on the air outlet side of the evaporator fan 260, and the air outlet grille 270 is inclined toward the connecting port 106.

[0066] The air outlet grille 270 generally includes a fixed grille and an adjustable grille. The angle of the grille bars 271 is adjustable, which can change the direction and volume of airflow as needed. The tilt angle of the fixed grille cannot be adjusted after installation. In this embodiment, both types of grilles are acceptable. Preferably, the air outlet grille 270 is a fixed grille.

[0067] The air outlet grille 270 typically includes a frame and grille bars 271 disposed on the frame. The air outlet grille 270 is inclined toward the communication port 106. This can be because the grille bars 271 are inclined toward the communication port 106, or the frame and grille bars 271 are both inclined toward the communication port 106.

[0068] In this embodiment, the air outlet grille 270 plays a role in air distribution and guidance. The air outlet grille 270 is set at the air outlet 103. The structure of the grille allows the cold air to flow out evenly and smoothly, while reducing the direct airflow impact on the items in the storage cavity. By tilting the air outlet grille 270 toward the connecting opening 106, the airflow can flow in the tilted direction, which can make the cold air flow more effectively to the second storage cavity 102.

[0069] In one embodiment, the air outlet grille 270 includes a plurality of grille strips 271, which are arranged at intervals along the direction from the first storage cavity 101 to the second storage cavity 102, and the portion of the grille strips 271 near the second storage cavity 102 is inclined toward the communication port 106.

[0070] Among the multiple grille bars 271, the portion of the grille bars 271 near the second storage cavity 102 is inclined toward the connecting opening 106. This can be understood as, for example, having 10 grille bars 271, where 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 grille bar 271 can be inclined toward the connecting opening 106, thereby guiding some cold air into the second storage cavity 102. The specific number of inclined bars can be considered in conjunction with the volume ratio of the first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102, and will not be illustrated in detail here.

[0071] The longer the grille strip 271 is, the better it is to guide the cold air into the second storage cavity 102. However, if the air duct grille is too long, it will occupy too much internal space and have limited airflow guiding effect. Based on this, in one embodiment, the length of the grille strip 271 along the air outlet direction of the fan is not less than 5mm.

[0072] For example, the length of the grille strip 271 can be 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, etc.

[0073] If the tilt angle of the grille strip 271 is too large, the airflow becomes too concentrated, increasing noise, reducing comfort, and causing uneven air distribution, thus increasing energy consumption. If the tilt angle of the grille strip 271 is too small, the airflow diffusion is uneven, resulting in poor air distribution and uneven temperature and humidity within the storage cavity. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, the tilt angle of the grille strip 271 is not less than 25° and not more than 60°.

[0074] Among them, the inclination angle of the grille bar 271 is as follows: Figure 3As shown in β, by way of example, the tilt angle α of the mounting part 142 can be 5°, 8°, 10°, 12°, 15°, 16°, 18°, 20°, 22°, 24°, 25°, 26°, 27°, 28° or 30°.

[0075] In one embodiment, the volume of the first storage cavity 101 is greater than the volume of the second storage cavity 102, since the air outlet side of the evaporator fan 260 is directly connected to the air outlet 103, and the first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102 are connected through the connecting port 106.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first storage cavity 101 has a larger volume and a higher demand for cooling, requiring more cold air to flow into it. In contrast, the second storage cavity 102 has a relatively smaller volume and requires less cold air to enter. Thus, the air outlet side of the evaporator fan 260 is directly connected to the air outlet 103, which shortens the path of most of the airflow from the evaporator fan 260 into the storage cavity, thereby optimizing the air delivery path of the evaporator fan 260 and improving the efficiency of the refrigeration system 200.

[0077] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The second storage cavity 102 is located above the first storage cavity 101.

[0078] In this embodiment, the second storage cavity 102 is placed above the first storage cavity 101, which can utilize vertical space and reduce the floor space occupied by the refrigerator. Refrigerators are usually limited by the interior space of a vehicle. This arrangement helps to improve space utilization efficiency and facilitates the design of more storage space in a limited space.

[0079] In one embodiment, the refrigerator body 11 includes a partition 130, which is disposed inside the inner shell 120. The two sides of the partition 130 and the inner shell 120 respectively form the first storage cavity 101 and the second storage cavity 102. A communication port 106 is disposed in the partition 130.

[0080] The partition plate 130 and the inner shell 120 can be fixedly connected or detachably connected. Preferably, the partition plate 130 and the inner shell 120 are detachably connected.
