[0051] Referring to Figure 1 A refrigerator 100 is shown as an embodiment of the present application, which can be any one of a single-door refrigerator, a double-door refrigerator, etc.

[0052] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 Exemplarily, the refrigerator 100 includes a cabinet 10, a refrigeration air duct cover plate 20, a mounting bracket 30 and a light source 40. The cabinet 10 is the main structure of the refrigerator 100, and is used to load and fix the refrigeration air duct cover plate 20, the mounting bracket 30 and the light source 40.

[0053] The cabinet 10 is usually designed as a cuboid structure, and the length direction of the cabinet 10 is in the height direction, thereby helping to save the horizontal space and fully utilize the space in the height direction.

[0054] Of course, the cabinet 10 can also be other shapes in other alternative embodiments, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0055] The interior of the cabinet 10 forms a refrigerating chamber 11, which has an inlet and outlet 111. In addition, the cabinet 10 is provided with a refrigerator 100 door, which is rotatable to open or close the inlet and outlet 111 of the refrigerating chamber 11.

[0056] Further, the interior of the cabinet 10 also has, but is not limited to, a temperature-variable chamber and a freezing chamber. Generally, the refrigerating chamber 11 is arranged in the upper region of the cabinet 10, the freezing chamber is arranged in the lower region of the cabinet 10, and the temperature-variable chamber is arranged between the refrigerating chamber 11 and the freezing chamber. The refrigerating chamber 11, the temperature-variable chamber and the freezing chamber are respectively correspondingly provided with a refrigerator 100 door to facilitate the separate use of the refrigerating chamber 11, the temperature-variable chamber and the freezing chamber.

[0057] The refrigerating air duct cover plate 20 is arranged on the cabinet 10. It is easy to understand that the refrigerating air duct cover plate 20 is used to cooperate with the refrigerating air duct to assemble, so as to realize the flow of cold air into the refrigerating chamber 11 through the refrigerating air duct, and realize the refrigeration of the refrigerating chamber 11.

[0058] Please continue to refer to Figures 5 to 6 The mounting bracket 30 is arranged on the refrigerating air duct cover plate 20 and located in the refrigerating chamber 11, and the mounting bracket 30 has an appearance surface arranged towards the inlet and outlet 111, and a mounting surface arranged away from the inlet and outlet 111, the mounting surface is provided towards the refrigerating air duct cover plate 20 and is provided with a mounting portion 31, and in addition, the mounting bracket 30 is also provided with a light-transmitting portion 32.

[0059] Among them, the light-transmitting portion 32 is located on one side of the mounting portion along the height direction or the width direction of the refrigerator 100.

[0060] It is easy to understand that the inlet and outlet 111 of the refrigerating chamber 11 is actually located in the depth direction of the refrigerator 100. While the depth direction (i.e. the horizontal direction) and the height direction, the width direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0061] The light source 40 is arranged on the mounting portion 31, and the light emitting surface 41 of the light source 40 is opposite to the light-transmitting portion 32.

[0062] It should be noted that the mounting bracket 30 has an appearance surface towards the inlet and outlet 111 of the refrigerating chamber 11, that is to say, when the user opens the refrigerator 100 door, only the appearance surface of the mounting bracket 30 is in the field of view of the user and can be directly seen by the user, while the mounting surface of the mounting bracket 30 and the other side surfaces along the height direction and the width direction of the refrigerator 100 cannot or are not easy to be observed by the user.

[0063] It is easy to understand that the side surface of the mounting bracket 30 along the height direction of the refrigerator 100 includes the bottom surface and the top surface, and the side surface along the width direction of the refrigerator 100 includes the left side surface and the right side surface.

[0064] In summary, the implementation of the technical scheme of the embodiment will have the following beneficial effects: in the refrigerator 100 of the present scheme, the mounting bracket 30 is arranged on the refrigeration air duct cover plate 20 and located in the refrigeration chamber 11 of the cabinet 10, and the light source 40 is arranged on the mounting portion 31 formed by the mounting surface of the mounting bracket 30 facing away from the inlet and outlet 111 of the refrigeration chamber 11, so that when the user opens the door of the refrigerator 100 and looks into the refrigeration chamber 11, only the appearance surface of the mounting bracket 30 can be normally seen, and at this time the light source 40 is lit, so that the light source 40 emits light through the light emitting surface 41, the light is emitted into the refrigeration chamber 11 through the light transmission portion 32 to create an atmosphere lamp effect, and since the light transmission portion 32 is located on one side of the mounting portion 31 along the height direction or the width direction of the refrigerator 100, the light directly entering the eyes of the user can be avoided, and the user's discomfort can be avoided, and the bottom light can form a better atmosphere light effect in vision, and the product use experience is improved.

[0065] For example, in a specific embodiment, the mounting bracket 30 includes a bottom surface arranged along the height direction of the refrigerator 100, and the light transmission portion 32 is a hollow groove opened on the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 30.

[0066] In order to save the space of the refrigeration chamber, the mounting bracket 30 is preferably mounted on the top of the refrigeration air duct cover plate 20. At this time, the top surface of the mounting bracket 30 is tightly attached to or gap-fitted with the top wall of the refrigeration chamber 11, and the left and right side surfaces of the mounting bracket 30 are respectively tightly attached to or gap-fitted with the left and right side walls of the refrigeration chamber 11. Under this condition, the light transmission portion 32 arranged on the top surface or the left and right side surfaces of the mounting bracket 30 will affect the light effect.

[0067] It can be understood that the hollow groove is a through groove structure and will not block the light of the light source 40, so that the light emitted by the light emitting surface 41 can smoothly pass through the hollow groove and enter the refrigeration chamber 11 to form an atmosphere lamp effect of bottom light emission. The structure of the hollow groove is simple and has low manufacturing difficulty.

[0068] In the present application, the light source 40 can be at least one of a surface light source, a lamp strip, a plurality of lamp beads arranged side by side, and a strip-shaped light lamp.

[0069] For example, the light source 40 adopts a surface light source, and the bottom of the surface light source forms a long strip-shaped light emitting surface 41, which can be formed by but not limited to a transparent or translucent plastic plate, a glass plate, etc. The length and size of the light emitting surface 41 are one-to-one matched with the length and size of the hollow groove, so as to avoid blocking the light and at the same time obtain a larger light emitting area and improve the lighting effect.

[0070] Further, the forming structure of the hollowed-out groove can have various designs according to actual needs. For example, in an alternative embodiment, the hollowed-out groove is formed in a partial or entire area of the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 30. At this time, the hollowed-out groove is formed in a single strip-shaped through groove structure, and the area size of the hollowed-out groove can be flexibly changed according to the lighting needs, thereby obtaining different light emitting area sizes to meet the needs of different refrigerator 100 products.

[0071] Alternatively, in another alternative embodiment, at least two hollowed-out grooves can also be provided, and the at least two hollowed-out grooves are arranged at intervals along a preset direction. In this way, on the one hand, the at least two hollowed-out grooves are arranged at intervals, and a large enough light emitting area can be obtained to meet the lighting needs; on the other hand, a partition rib is designed between the two adjacent hollowed-out grooves, which helps to ensure the overall structural strength of the mounting bracket 30.

[0072] It should be noted that the preset direction mentioned above specifically refers to the length direction of the bottom of the mounting bracket 30.

[0073] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the refrigerator 100 further comprises a light-transmitting film, which is arranged on the hollowed-out groove. By arranging the light-transmitting film on the hollowed-out groove, on the one hand, the light-transmitting film can optimize the light transmission path to achieve more uniform light emission; on the other hand, the light-transmitting film can also seal the hollowed-out groove to avoid the moisture in the refrigeration compartment 11 from contacting the light source 40 and affecting the service life of the light source 40.

[0074] For example, the light-transmitting film can specifically be an optical film.

[0075] Further, the refrigerator 100 further comprises a diffusion plate, which is arranged in the hollowed-out groove. The diffusion plate plays a role in uniformly distributing the light emitted by the light source 40, thereby improving the lighting effect.

[0076] According to needs, the diffusion plate and the light-transmitting film are arranged in layers along the light transmission direction in the hollowed-out groove, and the diffusion plate can be arranged closer to or farther away from the light source 40 than the light-transmitting film.

[0077] In addition, on the basis of any of the above-mentioned embodiments, the mounting portion 31 is provided as a mounting groove, and the light source 40 is embedded in the mounting groove. The mounting groove is provided to accommodate the light source 40, thereby simplifying the mounting structure and form of the light source 40; at this time, the light source 40 is between the mounting bracket 30 and the refrigeration air duct cover plate 20, and the mounting bracket 30 and the refrigeration air duct cover plate 20 form double-sided positioning for the light source 40, thereby preventing the light source 40 from loosening and falling off.

[0078] Please continue to refer to Figures 7 to 12Further, the mounting portion 31 is provided with a first buckle 50, a second buckle 60 and a third buckle 70, the first buckle 50 and the third buckle 70 are arranged along a first direction of the mounting bracket 30, the second buckle 60 is arranged along a second direction of the mounting bracket 30 and is spaced apart from the first buckle 50 and the third buckle 70, the first buckle 50, the second buckle 60 and the third buckle 70 are all clamped and fixed with the light source 40; wherein the first direction intersects the second direction. By means of the first buckle 50, the second buckle 60 and the third buckle 70 clamping and fixing the light source 40 at the same time, the degrees of freedom of the light source 40 in multiple directions (such as X-axis direction, Y-axis direction and Z-axis direction, etc.) can be further constrained, so that the light source 40 can be fixed more effectively and reliably.

[0079] It should be noted that the first direction specifically refers to the length direction of the mounting bracket 30, for example Figure 11 pointed by the S1 arrow in the above figure, and the second direction specifically refers to the width direction of the mounting bracket 30, for example Figure 11 pointed by the S2 arrow in the above figure.

[0080] Preferably, the first buckle 50, the second buckle 60 and the third buckle 70 are provided with two or more, and the two or more first buckles 50, the second buckles 60 and the third buckles 70 are all arranged along the length direction of the mounting bracket 30, so as to be clamped with different parts of the length direction of the light source 40, thereby improving the installation stability of the light source 40.

[0081] For example, the first buckle 50 in the present application adopts a rigid buckle, and the second buckle 60 adopts an elastic buckle, so as to facilitate clamping and installation of the light source 40 while avoiding damage to the light source 40.

[0082] In addition, in still another embodiment, the mounting portion 31 is further provided with a fourth buckle 80 and a fifth buckle 90, the fourth buckle 80 is arranged on the side of the first buckle 50 away from the third buckle 70 along the first direction, and the fifth buckle 90 is arranged along the first direction and is spaced apart from the second buckle 60.

[0083] The refrigeration air duct cover plate 20 is provided with a first clamping hole 21, a second clamping hole 22 and a third clamping hole 23, the first clamping hole 21 is clamped and fixed with the fourth buckle 80, the second clamping hole 22 is clamped and fixed with the fifth buckle 90, and the third clamping hole 23 is clamped and fixed with the third buckle 70. In this way, the mounting bracket 30 and the refrigeration air duct cover plate 20 can be assembled and fixed by means of buckle connection, the connection method is simple and has high reliability, and the assembly and disassembly are convenient and labor-saving, which helps to reduce the processing difficulty and improve the production efficiency.

[0084] When the user opens the door of the refrigerator 100 to take and place articles in the refrigeration compartment 11, in order to improve the visual aesthetics, the refrigerator 100 further comprises an air duct decorative plate 90a, which is arranged between the mounting bracket 30 and the refrigeration air duct cover plate 20.

[0085] Specifically, the air duct decorative plate 90a completely covers the surface of the refrigeration air duct cover plate 20, that is, the air duct decorative plate 90a is arranged closer to the inlet and outlet 111 of the refrigeration chamber 11 than the refrigeration air duct cover plate 20, so that when a user looks at the refrigeration chamber 11, only the mounting bracket 30, the air duct decorative plate 90a and the light effect can be observed, thereby improving the aesthetics and simplicity.

[0086] For example, the air duct decorative plate 90a is made of any one of aluminum alloy, stainless steel and the like, and is solid and durable; and the surface of the air duct decorative plate 90a can be provided with a wire drawing structure, a frosted pattern, a bright finish and the like.

[0087] In order to avoid interference of the air duct decorative plate 90a with the assembly of the mounting bracket 30 and the refrigeration air duct cover plate 20, the air duct decorative plate 90a is provided with a first avoiding through hole 91a and a second avoiding through hole 91b, the fourth buckle 80 is arranged in the first avoiding through hole 91a and is buckled with the first buckle hole 21, and the third buckle 70 is arranged in the second avoiding through hole 91b and is buckled with the third buckle hole 23.

[0088] It should be noted that the size of the second avoiding through hole 91b needs to be larger than the size of the third buckle 70, so as to prevent the second avoiding through hole 91b from being seen from the appearance surface, thereby affecting the aesthetics of the air duct decorative plate 90a.

[0089] It should be further noted that the buckle connection mode described above can also be replaced by at least one of screwing, bonding, magnetic attraction connection, riveting, welding and the like, which can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.
