[0052] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. All publications, patent applications, patents, figures and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety for the teachings relevant to the sentence and / or paragraph in which the reference is presented.

[0053] The gas pump assembly 100 claimed in the present application is applied to the refrigerator nitrogen making device 1000.

[0054] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 The gas pump assembly 100 provided by an embodiment of the present application includes a gas pump 10, a gas pump inner box 20 and a gas pump outer box 30. The gas pump 10 is used to provide compressed air for a molecular sieve 300 in the nitrogen making device 1000. The gas pump inner box 20 is enclosed to form a first closed chamber 101, and the gas pump 10 is accommodated in the first closed chamber 101. The gas pump outer box 30 is enclosed to form a second closed chamber 102, and the gas pump inner box 20 is accommodated in the second closed chamber 102. The gas pump 10 is connected and communicated with an air inlet pipe 11 and an air outlet pipe 12, and the air inlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 12 are arranged through the gas pump inner box 20 and the gas pump outer box 30. Here, the pressure value of the compressed air provided by the gas pump 10 for the molecular sieve 300 is adapted to the pressure value required for the operation of the molecular sieve 300, and the molecular sieve 300 is specifically a tower type molecular sieve.

[0055] As can be seen from the above, the gas pump assembly 100 of the present application can accommodate the gas pump 10 by using the double-layer box body sealing structure of the gas pump inner box 20 and the gas pump outer box 30, which can play a double noise reduction role on the noise generated during the operation of the gas pump 10, and has a high-efficiency sound insulation and noise reduction effect on the gas pump 10. In this way, the user experience of the nitrogen making device 1000 using the gas pump assembly 100 can be improved.

[0056] It should be noted that when the sound wave propagates in the air, it encounters a solid material with a certain sound insulation effect. The higher the area density of the solid material, the better the sound insulation effect. For example, a completely closed box can reduce noise by about 10db, and a metal box with a larger density such as iron and copper can reduce noise by about 15db. The double-box nested structure of the inner box 20 and the outer box 30 of the air pump can superimpose the noise reduction effect on the air pump 10, and the noise of the air pump 10 can be reduced to about 40db.

[0057] As shown in Figures 2 to 4 , in an embodiment, the first sealing plug 210 is installed on the inner box 20 of the air pump, and the air inlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 12 pass through the first sealing plug 210 to the outer box 30 of the air pump. That is, the air pump assembly 100 of this embodiment can use the first sealing plug 210 and the second sealing plug 310 to seal the air inlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 12 when they pass through the inner box 20 and the outer box 30 of the air pump, preventing the possibility of transmission and diffraction of sound waves generated when the air pump 10 is working from the path of the air inlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 12. This can further ensure the sound insulation and noise reduction effect of the inner box 20 and the outer box 30 of the air pump on the air pump 10. Here, the air inlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 12 can pass through the same first sealing plug 210 and second sealing plug 310 in turn to extend outward.

[0058] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 , in an embodiment, the inner box 20 of the air pump includes a first upper box 21 and a first lower box 22, the first upper box 21 is installed on the first lower box 22, and the first upper box 21 and the first lower box 22 are assembled and sealed by the first sealing ring 23. That is, the first upper box 21 and the first lower box 22 of the air pump 10 can form the above-mentioned first closed chamber 101, which can meet the assembly connection of the air pump 10 in the inner box 20 of the air pump. Here, the first upper box 21 and the first lower box 22 can be configured as an upper and lower box structure, and can be assembled and connected by screws 24.

[0059] Similarly, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the outer box 30 of the air pump includes a second upper box 31 and a second lower box 32, the second upper box 31 is installed on the second lower box 32, and the second upper box 31 and the second lower box 32 are assembled and sealed by the second sealing ring 33.

[0060] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, in an embodiment, the first damping pad 40 is arranged between the air pump inner box 20 and the air pump 10 to limit the abutment, so that the vibration generated during the operation of the air pump 10 is transmitted to the air pump inner box 20 through the first damping pad 40, and the air pump 10 plays a role of primary damping.

[0061] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the first damping pad 40 includes an upper damping pad 41 and a lower damping pad 42, which are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the air pump 10 and can be installed at the upper and lower ends of the air pump 10 in a sleeved manner.

[0062] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in this embodiment, one of the upper damping pad 41 and the air pump inner box 20 is provided with a limiting rib 220, and the other is provided with a limiting gap 411. The limiting rib 220 is clamped at the limiting gap 411, so that the assembly of the upper damping pad 41 and the air pump inner box 20 is limited. In this way, the air pump assembly 100 can be prevented from being separated from the upper damping pad 41 when it is tilted, dropped or turned over, so that the upper damping pad 41 can continuously play a role of damping for the air pump 10. Here, the limiting rib 220 is arranged on the air pump inner box 20 and connected with the air pump inner box 20 as a whole, and the limiting gap 411 is arranged on the upper damping pad 41. The number of limiting ribs 220 is two. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the limiting rib can also be arranged on the upper damping pad 41, and the limiting gap can be arranged on the air pump inner box 20, which will not be described here.

[0063] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in this embodiment, one of the lower damping pad 42 and the air pump inner box 20 is provided with a protruding column 421, and the other is provided with a plug-in hole 230. The protruding column 421 is arranged in the plug-in hole 230, so that the assembly of the lower damping pad 42 and the air pump inner box 20 is limited. In this way, the air pump assembly 100 can be prevented from being separated from the lower damping pad 42 when it is tilted, dropped or turned over, so that the lower damping pad 42 can continuously play a role of damping for the air pump 10. Here, the plug-in hole 230 is arranged on the air pump inner box 20, and the protruding column 421 is arranged on the lower damping pad 42. The number of protruding columns 421 is two rows, and the number of protruding columns 421 in each row is three. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the protruding column can also be arranged on the air pump inner box 20, and the plug-in hole can be arranged on the lower damping pad 42, which will not be described here.

[0064] As shown in the figure, Figure 2、 Figure 3 As shown in the figure, in an embodiment, the second damping pad 50 is arranged between the inner box 20 and the outer box 30 of the air pump 10 to limit the abutment therebetween, so that the vibration of the inner box 20 of the air pump 10 during the operation of the air pump 10 is transmitted to the outer box 30 of the air pump 10 through the second damping pad 50, and the air pump 10 plays a role of secondary damping.

[0065] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the second damping pad 50 includes a plurality of upper damping blocks 51 and a plurality of lower damping blocks 52, the plurality of upper damping blocks 51 are correspondingly arranged at the corners of one end of the inner box 20, and the plurality of lower damping blocks 52 are correspondingly arranged at the corners of the other end of the inner box 20. In this way, it can be prevented that the inner box 20 of the air pump assembly 100 is separated from the second damping pad 50 when the air pump assembly 100 is tilted, dropped or overturned, so that the second damping pad 50 can ensure the continuous and effective damping effect on the air pump 10. Here, the number of the upper damping blocks 51 and the lower damping blocks 52 is four, and each is arranged at the four corners of the top and the bottom of the inner box 20. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of the upper damping blocks 51 and the lower damping blocks 52 in the second damping pad 50 can also be configured as two, three, five or even more, and can be arranged diagonally on the inner box 20, which will not be described here.

[0066] As shown in the figure, Figure 6 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the upper damping block 51 includes a connecting body 511, a damping box body 512 and four connecting rib strips 513, the four connecting rib strips 513 are symmetrically arranged between the connecting body 511 and the damping box body 512, and are connected with the connecting body 511 and the damping box body 512 as a whole; wherein the connecting body 511 is arranged at one corner position of the inner box 20, and the connecting body 511 can be attached to the three end faces of the corresponding corner of the inner box 20 and is connected with the corresponding protruding buckle 240 of the inner box 20 in a clamping manner. So that the upper damping block 51 can abut and limit the outer box 30 of the air pump 10 with the damping box body 512, and utilize the elastic deformation of the four connecting rib strips 513 and the damping box body 512 to realize the buffering when the vibration of the inner box 20 of the air pump 10 is transmitted to the outer box 30 of the air pump 10. Here, the structure of the lower damping block 52 is the same as that of the upper damping block 51, which will not be described here.

[0067] As shown in the figure, Figure 7As shown, this application also provides a nitrogen generator 1000, including a mounting plate 200 and the aforementioned air pump assembly 100; the air pump assembly 100 is suspended on the mounting plate 200 via an air pump outer casing 30, wherein the mounting plate 200 is installed inside the refrigerator inner liner 2000. This prevents the air pump assembly 100 from directly contacting the refrigerator foam layer (not shown), thus ensuring that the air pump outer casing 30 does not damage the refrigerator foam layer of the refrigerator inner liner 2000 and prevents cold air leakage from the refrigerator inner liner 2000.

[0068] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, a third vibration damping pad 60 is installed on the air pump outer box 30, allowing the air pump outer box 30 to be mounted on the mounting plate 200 via the third vibration damping pad 60. This utilizes the structural characteristics of the third vibration damping pad 60 to dampen and buffer the vibration transmission between the air pump outer box 30 and the mounting plate 200, further reducing the transmission of air pump 10 vibration to the refrigerator inner liner 2000 via the air pump inner box 20, the air pump outer box 30, and the mounting plate 200. Here, two third vibration damping pads 60 are configured, arranged on both sides of the air pump outer box 30 and mounted in a fitted manner on the connecting lugs 34 of the air pump outer box 30.

[0069] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the nitrogen generator 1000 further includes a molecular sieve 300, a mounting bracket 400, and a preservation drawer 500. The molecular sieve 300 is installed inside the mounting plate 200 and communicates with the gas outlet pipe 12. The mounting bracket 400 is installed on the mounting plate 200 and is slidably connected to the preservation drawer 500. The preservation drawer 500 and the mounting plate 200 can be enclosed to form a preservation chamber, which is communicated with the nitrogen outlet 301 of the molecular sieve 300. This modular design allows for the independent manufacture of the nitrogen generator 1000, enabling it to be assembled entirely within the refrigerator liner 2000. This simplifies the structure of the nitrogen generator 1000, improves its production efficiency and assembly efficiency in the refrigerator, thus reducing costs. Furthermore, it reduces potential leaks during operation and weakens vibration transmission to the refrigerator liner 2000, enhancing the safety and reliability of both the nitrogen generator 1000 and the refrigerator liner 2000 over long-term use. Here, the mounting plate 200 includes a main mounting plate 201 and a cover plate 202 that fits onto the main mounting plate 201, wherein the molecular sieve 300 is mounted on the main mounting plate 201.
