Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular relates to a decorative panel for attaching to the surface of a refrigerator air duct panel. Background Technology
[0002] Refrigerators have become an essential household item in modern homes. At the same time, frost-free refrigerators have gradually replaced direct-cooling refrigerators. On the back of the refrigerator compartment of a frost-free refrigerator, there is usually an air duct. In order to improve the product's quality, refrigerator manufacturers often attach a decorative panel to the front panel of the air duct to enhance the product's appearance and increase its selling points.
[0003] Air duct decorative panels are generally made of plastic, with a base material of PS or ABS, and a thickness ranging from 0.5-2mm. The surface features various decorative textures. There are two existing methods for attaching these panels to the refrigerator's air duct panel: ultrasonic welding and tape bonding. Ultrasonic welding requires specialized welding equipment, and the base material of the decorative panel and the air duct panel must be the same material; otherwise, the weld strength will be affected. Furthermore, to avoid deformation and appearance defects caused by the heat of welding, the decorative panel thickness generally needs to be at least 2mm, increasing product costs. The other method, tape bonding, typically involves pre-applying tape to the air duct panel before attaching the decorative panel. During the bonding process, due to the thinness of the decorative panel, problems such as uneven bonding, air entrapment, and misalignment can easily occur, and the bonding efficiency is relatively low.

[0034] In this utility model, during actual installation, the adhesive layer 2 is first pasted onto the refrigerator air duct component 1. Then, by using the bonding fixture 3, the bottom of the refrigerator air duct component 1 is first pasted onto the bonding fixture 3. Finally, the decorative panel 5 is pasted along the edge of the refrigerator air duct component 1, and the adhesive layer 3 is used to attach the decorative panel 5 to the top surface of the refrigerator air duct component 1. This method is simple and reliable, and can effectively improve bonding efficiency. By using the bonding fixture 3, the bonding effect and efficiency of pasting the decorative panel 5 to the top surface of the refrigerator air duct component 1 are improved.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the material of the refrigerator air duct component 1 is any one of ABS, PS, and PP.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the thickness of the bonding tool 3 is 50-100mm;
[0037] Specifically, the bonding fixture 3 can be a cuboid with a thickness of 50-100mm.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the top surface of the refrigerator air duct component 1 is set as a smooth surface 11; the smooth surface 11 facilitates the adhesion and fixation of the adhesive layer 2.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, each group of positioning blocks 40 includes a plurality of positioning blocks 4 arranged linearly; the number of positioning blocks 4 in each group of positioning blocks 40 can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0040] Specifically, in each group of positioning blocks 40, several positioning blocks 4 are arranged linearly, and the inner edge of the positioning block 4 can be flush with the inner edge of the recessed groove 31.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, in each group of positioning blocks 40, the number of positioning blocks 4 is not less than 1.
[0042] In each group of 40 positioning blocks, the number of positioning blocks 4 can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the adhesive layer 2 is PET double-sided tape.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, several adhesive layers 2 are arranged linearly and equally spaced on the top surface of the refrigerator air duct component 1.
[0045] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the distance between two adjacent adhesive layers 2 is 150-300mm.
[0046] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the length of the adhesive layer 2 is basically the same as the width of the refrigerator air duct component 1.
[0047] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the adhesive layer 2 can be provided in two groups, namely group A and group B; the adhesive layer 2 in group A is provided as two layers, and the two adhesive layers 2 are respectively attached to the upper end and the lower end of the top surface of the refrigerator air duct component 1; the adhesive layer 2 in group B is provided as multiple layers, and the multiple adhesive layers 2 are provided between the two adhesive layers 2 in group A, and are arranged linearly at equal intervals, and the straight line containing the long side of the adhesive layer 2 in group A is perpendicular to the straight line containing the long side of the adhesive layer 2 in group B.
[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the bonding process of the bonding fixture for attaching decorative panels to the surface of a refrigerator air duct panel specifically includes the following steps:
[0049] S1. On the smooth surface 11 of the refrigerator air duct component 1, PET double-sided tape is attached to form multiple adhesive layers 2 with a width between 15 and 30 mm. The tape is attached around the perimeter of the decorative panel 5. An additional layer of tape is added every 150-300 mm.
[0050] S2. The second step of the process is to place the refrigerator air duct component 1 with the adhesive layer 2 attached into the bonding fixture 3. The bonding fixture 3 can be made of plastic substrates such as ABS and is a cuboid with a thickness of 50-100mm. Since there are many protrusions on the back of the refrigerator air duct component 1, many clearance holes, grooves, etc., i.e., recessed grooves 31 are also processed on the surface of the bonding fixture 3 to ensure that the refrigerator air duct component 1 can be horizontally attached when placed in the bonding fixture 3, and the refrigerator air duct component 1 will not move left, right or up and down. The back of the refrigerator air duct component 1 is perfectly attached to the front of the bonding fixture 3.
[0051] S3. The third and most crucial step in the process is bonding. To ensure the accurate positioning of the decorative panel 5 on the refrigerator duct component 1, positioning blocks 4 are installed on the bonding fixture 3 to ensure the accurate positioning of the decorative panel 5 in all directions. In operation, first peel off the release paper of the PET double-sided tape on the refrigerator duct component 1 to expose the adhesive side of the tape. Then, pick up the decorative panel 5, tilting one end upwards and placing the other end on the ground, pressing it against the upper and right positioning blocks 4 on the bonding fixture 3. Then, slowly lower it down, following the sequence from top to bottom, to avoid air trapping or wrinkling. Smooth it out as you bond. Continue bonding until the decorative panel 5 is completely on the refrigerator duct component 1. If the position of the decorative panel 5 is found to be offset relative to the refrigerator duct component 1, adjust the up, down, left, and right positions of the positioning blocks 4 appropriately until it is perfectly centered and bonded.
[0052] This decorative panel for attaching to the surface of the refrigerator air duct panel is low-cost and has a simple and effective bonding method during the assembly process. It has been verified in batches and has high bonding efficiency. It is easy to operate manually and is not difficult to operate, so it can meet the needs of mass production. It also solves the problem of thin sheets being difficult to attach.
[0053] This utility model provides a decorative panel for attaching to the surface of a refrigerator air duct panel, ensuring the accuracy of the decorative panel during the attachment process and achieving high attachment efficiency.
