Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator humidifier technology, and in particular to a refrigerator humidifier cover assembly. Background Technology

[0002] A refrigerator is a refrigeration device that maintains a constant low temperature; it is also a consumer product that keeps food or other items at a constant low temperature. Inside the refrigerator is a compressor, an ice maker, a cabinet or box for freezing ice, and a storage box with a refrigeration unit. The capacity of a household refrigerator typically ranges from 20 to 500 liters.

[0003] In daily life, people usually leave fresh fruits and vegetables exposed in the refrigerator. The temperature inside the refrigerator is generally lower than the ambient temperature outside and remains constant, which can maintain the freshness of these foods. However, due to the convection of air inside the refrigerator, fruits and vegetables easily lose moisture, lose their luster, and become shriveled. Moreover, most of the drawers or boxes used to store food in refrigerators sold on the market are open designs, not sealed structures, which are not effective in keeping the food warm or moist, thus reducing the freshness of the food. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a refrigerator humidifier cover assembly to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model discloses a refrigerator humidifier box cover assembly, including a box body. A support plate is connected to the inner wall of the box body, and a cover assembly is provided on the support plate. The cover assembly includes a front cover plate and a rear cover plate hinged together. The rear cover plate is snapped onto the support plate by a snap-fit ​​assembly. The snap-fit ​​assembly includes two symmetrically arranged snap plates located below the bottom surface of the rear cover plate and a connecting rod connected to the top of one end of the snap plates. The snap plates are snapped into slots opened in the support plate. The top of the connecting rod passes through a strip hole opened in the rear cover plate and is connected to an adjusting plate. The adjusting plate is slidably connected to a groove opened in the top surface of the rear cover plate. The groove communicates with the strip hole. The rear cover plate has several through holes, and a moisture-sensing and breathable membrane is provided in each through hole.

[0007] Furthermore, both the front cover and the rear cover have sealing strips on their bottom edges, and the sealing strips are pressed against the support plate. The width of the sealing strips is smaller than the width of the support plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a groove is formed on the top surface of the front cover plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a push-pull plate is connected to the front end face of the box.

[0010] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the groove, and sliders are connected to both sides of the adjusting plate, with the sliders slidably connected within the sliding groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the length of the strip hole is less than the length of the adjusting plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention seals the box with a sealing strip, allowing cold air from the refrigerator to enter through a perforation for refrigeration. A moisture-sensitive and permeable membrane regulates humidity within the box, slowing down moisture loss. When fruits and vegetables inside evaporate a significant amount of moisture, the membrane directs excess water to the outside to prevent rotting. When the moisture level is low, the membrane reduces moisture permeability, keeping fruits and vegetables fresh. Furthermore, only the front cover is opened, minimizing the area exposed and further reducing moisture loss. Attached Figure Description

[0022] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a refrigerator humidifier cover assembly includes a box body 1, and a push-pull plate 15 is connected to the front end surface of the box body 1.

[0023] A tray 4 is connected to the inner wall of the box 1. A cover assembly is provided on the tray 4. The cover assembly includes a front cover 2 and a rear cover 3 that are hinged together. A sealing strip 13 is provided on the bottom edge of both the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3. The sealing strip 13 is pressed on the tray 4. The width of the sealing strip 13 is smaller than the width of the tray 4.

[0024] The top surface of the front cover plate 2 is provided with a groove 14 to facilitate lifting the front cover plate 2.

[0025] The rear cover plate 3 is snapped onto the tray 4 via a snap-fit ​​assembly. The snap-fit ​​assembly includes two symmetrically arranged snap-fit ​​plates 7 located below the bottom surface of the rear cover plate 3 and a connecting rod 8 connected to the top of one end of each snap-fit ​​plate 7. Each snap-fit ​​plate 7 engages within a slot 9 on the tray 4. The top of the connecting rod 8 passes through a slotted hole 10 on the rear cover plate 3 and is connected to an adjusting plate 11. The length of the slotted hole 10 is less than the length of the adjusting plate 11. The adjusting plate 11 is slidably connected within a groove 12 on the top surface of the rear cover plate 3, and the groove 12 communicates with the slotted hole 10. When the rear cover plate 3 is placed on the tray 4, pushing the adjusting plate 11 causes it to move the snap-fit ​​plates 7 via the connecting rod 8 until the adjusting plate 11 can no longer be pushed. At this point, the snap-fit ​​plates 7 are engaged within the slot 9, and the adjusting plate 11 completely covers the slotted hole 10, preventing moisture loss.

[0026] A sliding groove 16 is provided on the side wall of the groove 12, and sliders are connected to both sides of the adjusting plate 11. The sliders are slidably connected in the sliding groove 16.

[0027] The rear cover plate 3 has several through holes 5, and a moisture-sensing and breathable membrane 6 is provided in the through holes 5.

[0028] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
