DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] For the purpose of making the present application and the embodiments more clear, the following will combine the drawings in the exemplary embodiments of the present application to make a clear and complete description of the exemplary embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described exemplary embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments.

[0058] It should be noted that the brief description of the terms in the present application is only for the convenience of understanding the subsequently described embodiments, and is not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, these terms should be understood according to their ordinary and general meanings.

[0059] The terms "first", "second", "third", and the like in the specification and claims of the present application and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar or similar objects or entities, and do not necessarily mean to limit the specific order or sequence, unless otherwise noted. It should be understood that the terms used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances.

[0060] The terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover but not exclusive inclusion, for example, a product or device including a series of components does not have to be limited to all the components clearly listed, but can include other components not clearly listed or inherent to these products or devices.

[0061] In the related art, the connecting wire harness of the fan is clamped and fixed by setting a clasp in the air duct, so that it is constrained and can be stretched out from the air duct according to a certain direction to connect an external power supply, thereby powering and driving the fan. However, after transportation or long-time work of the fan, the connecting wire harness is easily detached from the clasp and wound into the fan, colliding with the fan blades, thereby causing product abnormal noise and causing safety accidents. In order to solve this problem, the present application provides a refrigerator.

[0062] For the convenience of understanding, the side of the refrigerator facing the user for the user to operate is the front side direction of the refrigerator, and the side of the refrigerator facing away from the user is the back side direction of the refrigerator.

[0063] Referring to Figures 1 to 2A refrigerator can include a cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 is a housing structure of the refrigerator, for accommodating other components such as an inner container and a refrigeration system, etc. The cabinet 1 can have a rectangular shape, and can also have other special shapes.

[0064] In some embodiments, the refrigerator can include an inner container. The inner container can be disposed in the cabinet 1, and the inner container forms a refrigeration compartment 11 with a front opening. Cold air flows in the refrigeration compartment 11, so that the refrigeration compartment 11 can be kept at a lower temperature to refrigerate or freeze various items. The opening of the refrigeration compartment 11 can be used by the user to take or place items.

[0065] In some embodiments, the refrigeration compartment 11 can include a refrigeration chamber and a freezing chamber. The freezing chamber has a temperature below zero, and the temperature is relatively low, which is mainly used to store meat that needs to be stored for a long time. The temperature in the refrigeration chamber is higher than that in the freezing chamber, which can be set between 2°C and 8°C, and is mainly used to store fruits and vegetables needed in daily life.

[0066] In some embodiments, the refrigerator can include a door body. The door body is rotatably connected to the front side of the cabinet 1 to open or close the refrigeration compartment 11. When the door body is closed, the door body covers the front opening of the refrigeration compartment 11, so that the refrigeration compartment 11 is closed, which is convenient for low-temperature storage of items and avoids the leakage of cold energy. When the door body is opened, it is convenient for the user to take or place items.

[0067] In some embodiments, the refrigeration chamber and the freezing chamber can be provided with corresponding refrigeration chamber doors and freezing chamber doors, respectively, to correspondingly open or close.

[0068] In some embodiments, the refrigeration chamber and the freezing chamber can be spaced apart in the up-down direction of the cabinet 1, or can be spaced apart in the left-right direction of the cabinet 1, to form a double-door refrigerator or a side-by-side refrigerator, which is not limited here.

[0069] In some embodiments, the refrigerator can include a refrigeration system for providing cold energy to the refrigerator. The refrigeration system can include a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser.

[0070] In some embodiments, a duct can be provided on the rear side of the inner container, the duct being in communication with the refrigeration compartment 11, and the evaporator being disposed in the duct for delivering cold air to the refrigeration compartment 11.

[0071] In some embodiments, a compressor compartment can also be provided on the bottom rear side of the cabinet 1, the compressor compartment being separated from the refrigeration compartment 11, and the compressor compartment can be provided with the above-mentioned compressor and condenser. The compressor, the condenser, and the evaporator can be connected by a capillary tube, and the capillary tube flows through a refrigerant, so as to generate cold air through the refrigeration system. The specific working principle of the refrigeration system is not repeated here, and can refer to the working principle of the refrigeration system of the existing refrigerator.

[0072] In some embodiments, the refrigerator can include a duct cover plate 2. The duct cover plate 2 is arranged in the inner container and can be surrounded by the rear side wall of the inner container to form a duct. The duct cover plate 2 can be flat and extend in the up-down direction and be spaced apart from the rear side wall of the inner container, so that the duct cover plate 2 is connected to the left and right side walls of the inner container to make the duct relatively airtight. The duct cover plate 2 can be provided with an air outlet and an air return port. Cold air flows from the air outlet to the refrigeration compartment 11, and flows back to the duct from the air return port. By arranging the fan assembly 3 in the duct, the circulation of cold air is accelerated. In this embodiment, the refrigeration compartment 11 is a freezer compartment, and the duct cover plate 2 is arranged in the inner container forming the freezer compartment.

[0073] Continuing to refer to Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the refrigerator can include a fan assembly 3. The fan assembly 3 can include a housing 31, which is covered on the duct cover plate 2 and surrounded by the duct cover plate 2 to form a mounting cavity, which is in communication with the duct. The housing 31 can be a half-enclosed structure with an open end, and has a space inside. When the housing 31 is covered on the duct cover plate 2, the opening of the housing 31 is blocked by the duct cover plate 2, and the space between the two forms the above-mentioned mounting cavity.

[0074] In some embodiments, the fan assembly 3 can include a fan 32. The fan 32 is arranged in the mounting cavity and is protected by the housing 31. By arranging the fan 32 in the duct, the circulation of cold air between the duct and the refrigeration compartment 11 can be accelerated, and the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigeration compartment 11 can be improved.

[0075] It should be noted that the fan 32 has a connection harness 7 to connect the connection harness 7 to an external power supply to power and drive the fan 32. Here, external means outside the inner container, and the power supply can be arranged in the cabinet 1 outside the inner container.

[0076] In some embodiments, a partition rib plate 35 can be provided between the housing 31 and the duct cover plate 2. The two sides of the partition rib plate form a first mounting cavity 33 and a second mounting cavity 34, respectively. The size of the first mounting cavity 33 and the second mounting cavity 34 is not fixed and is determined according to the position of the partition rib plate 35. The fan 32 is arranged in the first mounting cavity 33, and the space of the first mounting cavity 33 is sufficient to accommodate the fan 32.

[0077] In some embodiments, the second installation chamber 34 is provided with a wire harness outlet 36 penetrating the cavity wall of the second installation chamber 34. A passage is provided between the first installation chamber 33 and the second installation chamber 34 for the connection wire harness 7 of the fan 32 to pass through, and the connection wire harness 7 of the fan 32 passes through the passage into the second installation chamber 34 and is connected to the external power supply through the wire harness outlet 36. By providing the partition rib plate 35 to form the second installation chamber 34, since the second installation chamber 34 is separated from the first installation chamber 33, after the connection wire harness 7 enters the second installation chamber 34 from the first installation chamber 33, the connection wire harness 7 can be specially fixed and accommodated in the second installation chamber 34, avoiding the connection wire harness 7 from falling into the fan 32 and colliding with the fan blades, and the reliability is higher, solving the problem of abnormal noise caused by the collision between the connection wire harness 7 and the fan 32 in the prior art. Since the second installation chamber 34 is specially separated from the first installation chamber 33 by the partition rib plate 35 to fix the connection wire harness 7, the space utilization of the air duct is greatly improved.

[0078] In some embodiments, the refrigerator can include a first clamping hook 4. The first clamping hook 4 can be arranged in the first installation chamber 33, and the first clamping hook 4 is used for clamping the connection wire harness 7 of the fan 32, so that the connection wire harness 7 can be arranged in a predetermined wire arrangement direction after being clamped by the first clamping hook 4, avoiding the connection wire harness 7 from being randomly arranged after being drawn out from the fan 32. By clamping the connection wire harness 7 by the first clamping hook 4, the connection wire harness 7 can also be fixed, avoiding it from freely falling off in the first installation chamber 33.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first clamping hook 4 is close to the passage, and the connection wire harness 7 of the fan 32 passes out of the first clamping hook 4 and enters the second installation chamber 34 through the passage. The first clamping hook 4 is used for guiding the connection wire harness 7 to the passage. The first clamping hook 4 can be arranged on the air duct cover plate 2 or on the side of the housing 31 facing the air duct cover plate 2.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first clamping hook 4 includes two first clamping portions 41, and the two first clamping portions 41 are arranged in a horizontal direction. One end of the first clamping portion 41 is connected to the air duct cover plate 2, and the other end of the first clamping portion 41 extends away from the air duct cover plate 2 first, and then extends towards the direction of the other first clamping portion 41, so that the first clamping portion 41 is approximately in an L-shaped semi-enclosing structure. The two first clamping portions 41 have an opening 42 between them for clamping the connection wire harness 7, and the two first clamping portions 41 and the air duct cover plate 2 form a clamping groove for clamping the connection wire harness 7. After the connection wire harness 7 is drawn out of the fan 32, it can first pass into the two clamping grooves from the opening 42 in a top-to-bottom direction, so that the connection wire harness 7 is constrained and fixed by the two first clamping portions 41. The connection wire harness 7 can then pass into the passage from the lower side of the first clamping hook 4 and enter the second installation chamber 34.

[0081] It should be noted that the two first clamping portions 41 can have a certain elasticity, so that when passing through the connection wire harness 7, the two first clamping portions 41 can be slightly forced outward to expand the opening 42 therebetween, facilitating the connection wire harness 7 to enter the opening 42, and finally the two first clamping portions 41 restore to the initial state by elastic deformation, so that the opening 42 is reduced, avoiding the connection wire harness 7 from the opening 42.

[0082] In some embodiments, the refrigerator can further include a second clamping hook 5. The second clamping hook 5 is arranged in the second mounting chamber 34, and the second clamping hook 5 is used to clamp the connection wire harness 7 of the fan 32, so that the connection wire harness 7 entering the second mounting chamber 34 can be arranged in the second mounting chamber 34 according to the preset wire arrangement direction, and at the same time, the connection wire harness 7 is clamped and fixed, avoiding the connection wire harness 7 in the second mounting chamber 34 to be disordered. The connection wire harness 7 of the fan 32 entering the second mounting chamber 34 passes out of the second clamping hook 5 and extends out of the second mounting chamber 34 from the wire harness outlet 36 to connect the external power supply.

[0083] In some embodiments, the second clamping hook 5 can include two second clamping portions 51, which can be arranged in a vertical direction. The second clamping portion 51 can have the same structure as the first clamping portion 41, that is, the second clamping hook 5 can have the same structure as the first clamping hook 4, except that the installation direction is different from that of the first clamping hook 4. After the connection wire harness 7 enters the second mounting chamber 34, it can first pass into the second clamping hook 5 in the horizontal direction to be restrained and fixed by the second clamping hook 5, and then the connection wire harness 7 enters the wire harness outlet 36 from one side of the second clamping hook 5. By making the installation direction of the second clamping hook 5 different from that of the first clamping hook 4, the connection wire harness 7 can be restrained and fixed in different directions, improving the fixing effect of the connection wire harness 7 and further preventing the connection wire harness 7 from falling off the first clamping hook 4 and the second clamping hook 5.

[0084] In some embodiments, the refrigerator can further include a hook 6. The hook 6 is arranged in the second mounting chamber 34 and located above the second clamping hook 5. The hook 6 is used to hang the connection wire harness 7 of the fan 32, and the connection wire harness 7 of the fan 32 passing out of the second clamping hook 5 winds around the hook 6 and then extends out of the second mounting chamber 34 from the wire harness outlet 36 to connect the external power supply. The hook 6 cooperates with the second clamping hook 5 to make the connection wire harness 7 wind around the second mounting chamber 34 for multiple turns, and the excess length of the connection wire harness 7 can be accommodated in the second mounting chamber 34 according to the preset wire arrangement direction, so that the connection wire harness 7 is more regular in accommodation.

[0085] In some embodiments, the hook 6 can be arranged directly above the second clamping hook 5, and the hook 6 has a substantially U-shaped structure, so that the connection wire harness 7 can be hung on the hook 6 and can be wound around the hook 6 for several turns. The top end of the hook 6 can be connected to the top wall of the second mounting chamber 34.

[0086] In some embodiments, by setting the first clasp 4, the second clasp 5 and the hook 6, the connection wire harness 7 is sequentially passed through the first clasp 4, the second clasp 5 and the hook 6 and then extends out of the second installation chamber 34 from the wire harness outlet 36, so that the connection wire harness 7 can be firmly constrained in the preset wire direction, avoiding its free falling, and the second installation chamber 34 independently arranged can accommodate the connection wire harness 7, so that the connection wire harness 7 falling into the fan 32 can be avoided, and the reliability and safety of the product can be improved.

[0087] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the shell 31 can include a bottom plate 311. The bottom plate 311 is arranged at the rear side of the air duct cover plate 2, and the bottom plate 311 can be parallel to the air duct cover plate 2. The shell 31 can further include a side wall 312, one end of the side wall 312 being connected with the bottom plate 311, and the other end of the side wall 312 extending towards the air duct cover plate 2 and being connected with the air duct cover plate 2, so that the side wall 312, the bottom plate 311 and the air duct cover plate 2 form the above-mentioned installation chamber.

[0088] In some embodiments, the side wall 312 can be integrally formed with the bottom plate 311, so that the shell 31 is a half-enclosing structure with an opening 42 at one end. When the shell 31 is installed on the air duct cover plate 2, the side wall 312, the bottom plate 311 and the air duct cover plate 2 form the above-mentioned installation chamber. The side wall 312 can be connected with the bottom plate 311 perpendicularly, or can have a certain acute angle with the bottom plate 311. The side wall 312 and the air duct cover plate 2 can be connected by screws, so as to improve the connection stability between the shell 31 and the air duct cover plate 2, and facilitate disassembly and assembly.

[0089] In some embodiments, a partition rib plate 35 is formed on the bottom plate 311 and extends towards the air duct cover plate 2, so as to divide the installation chamber into the first installation chamber 33 and the second installation chamber 34. The partition rib plate 35 can be a ring-shaped plate body, which is arranged around the fan 32, so that the inner circle of the partition rib plate 35 forms the first installation chamber 33, and the outer circle of the partition rib plate 35 forms the second installation chamber 34. The partition rib plate 35 can also be a non-ring-shaped plate body, one side of the partition rib plate 35 forming the first installation chamber 33, and the other side of the partition rib plate 35 forming the second installation chamber 34.

[0090] In some embodiments, the partition rib plate 35 and the air duct cover plate 2 have at least partial spacing therebetween, so as to form a passage for the connection wire harness 7 of the fan 32 to pass through. The spacing can be just enough for the connection wire harness 7 to pass through, so that the partition rib plate 35 can abut against the connection wire harness 7 to fix the connection wire harness 7.

[0091] In some embodiments, due to the connection of the partitioning rib plate 35 to the bottom plate 311, a passage is formed between the partitioning rib plate 35 and the air duct cover plate 2, so that the connection wire harness 7 can pass through the passage along the air duct cover plate 2, and the connection wire harness 7 can be folded on the air duct cover plate 2 in the first installation chamber 33.

[0092] In some embodiments, the partitioning rib plate 35 can also be connected to the air duct cover plate 2, and at least part of the partitioning rib plate 35 and the bottom plate 311 has a spacing to form the passage mentioned above, and the connection wire harness 7 enters the passage from between the bottom plate 311 and the partitioning rib plate 35.

[0093] In some embodiments, the partitioning rib plate 35 can also be connected to the air duct cover plate 2, and at least part of the partitioning rib plate 35 and the bottom plate 311 has a spacing to form the passage mentioned above, and the connection wire harness 7 enters the passage from between the bottom plate 311 and the partitioning rib plate 35.

[0094] In some embodiments, one end of the partitioning rib plate 35 is connected to the inner wall of the side wall 312, so as to divide the side wall 312 into a first part 3121 and a second part 3122 along the circumference of the side wall 312. The relative size of the first part 3121 and the second part 3122 is related to the length of the partitioning rib plate 35. The other end of the partitioning rib plate 35 extends towards the direction away from the second part 3122. The partitioning rib plate 35, the first part 3121, the bottom plate 311 and the air duct cover plate 2 form the first installation chamber 33, and the partitioning rib plate 35, the second part 3122, the bottom plate 311 and the air duct cover plate 2 form the second installation chamber 34.

[0095] In some embodiments, in order to avoid the second installation chamber 34 formed to occupy the installation space of the fan 32, the side wall 312 corresponding to the upper corner part of the fan 32 constitutes the second part 3122. Since the fan 32 is mostly circular as a whole, the upper corner area of the fan 32 is usually an idle area and has no effect on the fan 32 itself. By making the part of the side wall 312 corresponding to the area as the second part 3122, the area forms the second installation chamber 34, so that the space in the installation chamber can be reasonably utilized, and the space utilization rate of the installation chamber is improved.

[0096] In some embodiments, the partitioning rib plate 35 and the side wall 312 are integrally formed, which can simplify the manufacturing process of the partitioning rib plate 35.

[0097] In some embodiments, the wire harness outlet 36 can be arranged at the top end of the second portion 3122, and the top end of the second portion 3122 can be further provided with a guide portion 37 at the wire harness outlet 36. The guide portion 37 can extend in the vertical direction to form a guide groove extending in the vertical direction, so that the connection wire harness 7 of the fan 32 can be routed outward through the guide groove after extending out of the wire harness outlet 36, so that the connection wire harness 7 can be routed in the preset routing direction. It should be noted that the guide portion 37 can be a columnar structure, one side of which is provided with the above-mentioned guide groove, and the bottom end of the guide groove is in communication with the wire harness outlet 36, so that the connection wire harness 7 can continue to be routed for a distance along the guide groove after extending out of the wire harness outlet 36, so as to straighten the connection wire harness 7.

[0098] Referring to Figure 5 In some embodiments, by arranging the guide portion 37, the connection wire harness 7 can be routed in the preset routing direction after being drawn out of the fan 32, sequentially passing through the first hook 4 and the passage into the second installation chamber 34, and then passing out of the second installation chamber 34 through the second hook 5, the hook 6 and the wire harness outlet 36, and finally extending out of the inner container to connect with the external power supply along the guide groove, so that the connection wire harness 7 can be routed in the preset routing direction, and at the same time be fixed in the first installation chamber 33 and the second installation chamber 34 by the first hook 4, the second hook 5 and the hook 6, to avoid the connection wire harness 7 from being free to fall off and interfering with the fan 32.
