Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a refrigerator electrical box and a refrigerator containing the box. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional refrigerator appliance boxes are typically installed in the compressor compartment at the back or bottom of the refrigerator using numerous screws. The disassembly and reassembly of the appliance box and its cover are cumbersome, requiring the refrigerator to be moved and many parts to be disassembled during maintenance. This makes maintenance and troubleshooting more difficult for technicians, requiring more time to locate the problem, increasing maintenance costs and downtime. Furthermore, the limited space in existing appliance boxes and the crisscrossing wiring can easily lead to crosstalk or short circuits, increasing the risk of circuit failures and the difficulty of maintenance and troubleshooting. In addition, the transformers, inductors, coils, capacitors, and relays on the power board generate high-frequency sounds with strong directionality, significantly impacting the refrigerator's sound quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art that require moving the refrigerator and removing too many parts during maintenance, and to provide a refrigerator electrical box and a refrigerator containing the box.

[0004] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model provides a refrigerator electrical box, which is snapped onto the top of the refrigerator. The refrigerator electrical box is provided with a first buckle, and the top of the refrigerator is provided with a second buckle. One of the first buckle and the second buckle is a snap-fit ​​connector with a tapered end, and the other is a snap-fit ​​hole. The first buckle and the second buckle are matched.

[0006] In this solution, by placing the refrigerator's electrical box on top of the refrigerator, technicians can perform maintenance without moving the refrigerator or disassembling parts, thus facilitating maintenance. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​design eliminates the need for screws or other locking components during assembly; the snap-fit ​​connection allows for quick assembly and disassembly, sometimes even without tools. This method is more convenient than using screws, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Additionally, the tapered end of the snap-fit ​​connector reduces its size, making it easier to insert the connector into the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0007] Preferably, there are several first buckles, which are distributed on the side where the refrigerator appliance box is connected to the refrigerator.

[0008] In this solution, by setting several first buckles, the connection stability between the refrigerator appliance box and the refrigerator is further improved.

[0009] Preferably, the refrigerator appliance box further includes a box body and a cover plate. The cover plate covers the box body. Several third buckles are distributed along the connection between the box body and the cover plate on the box body. A fourth buckle is provided at a corresponding position on the cover plate. One of the third buckles and the fourth buckle is a protrusion and the other is a snap-fit ​​groove. The third buckle and the fourth buckle are matched.

[0010] In this solution, the ease of disassembling the cover and the box is further improved by setting the buckle between the cover and the box as a protrusion and a snap-fit ​​groove.

[0011] Preferably, the refrigerator appliance box further includes a connector, the box body is provided with a first connecting hole, and the cover plate is provided with a second connecting hole. In the axial direction of the first connecting hole and / or the second connecting hole, at least a portion of the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole coincide for the passage of the connector.

[0012] In this solution, by adding connectors, the firmness of the cover plate and the box can be further improved on the basis of the snap-fit ​​connection.

[0013] Preferably, the housing further includes a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity. A first inlet hole is provided on the wall surface of the housing near the first receiving cavity, and a second inlet hole is provided on the wall surface of the housing near the second receiving cavity. A wire is connected to the first receiving cavity through the first inlet hole, and a wire is connected to the second receiving cavity through the second inlet hole.

[0014] In this solution, the box is divided into two areas: a first accommodating cavity and a second accommodating cavity. The first and second accommodating cavities are used to house electronic components with different functions. A first wire inlet and a second wire inlet are respectively provided near the two accommodating cavities, so that the wire entering from the first wire inlet is connected to the first accommodating cavity, and the wire entering from the second wire inlet is connected to the second accommodating cavity. This structure can avoid the crossing and confusion of control wires.

[0015] Preferably, the refrigerator appliance box further includes a first gathering member and a second gathering member, wherein the first gathering member is disposed on the path from the first inlet hole to the first receiving cavity, and the first gathering member is used to gather the wire passing through the first inlet hole; and / or, the second gathering member is disposed on the path from the second inlet hole to the second receiving cavity, and the second gathering member is used to gather the wire passing through the second inlet hole.

[0016] In this solution, by setting a first and a second converging component, the control wires can be easily restrained, preventing them from sticking up and causing them to become tangled and difficult to identify.

[0017] Preferably, the first or second gathering member is a semi-circular arc extending from the inner wall of the box, with the arc surface of the semi-circular arc facing the wire.

[0018] In this solution, by setting a first and second semi-circular gathering member, the wires can be gathered and clipped into the semi-circular arc, which further improves the efficiency of wire gathering and improves wire arrangement.

[0019] Preferably, the side wall of the box body is provided with a first recess, and the first inlet hole is disposed in the first recess; and / or, the side wall of the box body is provided with a second recess, and the second inlet hole is disposed in the second recess.

[0020] In this solution, by setting the first inlet hole and the second inlet hole in the first cavity and the second cavity respectively, the first and second inlet holes can be opened on the inner wall surface of the first and second cavity. This structure can increase the area of ​​the wire covered by the box, allowing the wire to directly enter the box and connect to the first or second receiving cavity, effectively avoiding the wire from being exposed.

[0021] Preferably, a sound-absorbing element is provided on the side of the cover plate facing the box body, and the projection of the sound-absorbing element in the direction perpendicular to the cover plate coincides with the first receiving cavity and / or the second receiving cavity; and / or, the sound-absorbing element includes sound-absorbing cotton and an end cap, the end cap covering the sound-absorbing cotton on the cover plate, and the end cap is provided with a plurality of round holes.

[0022] In this design, since the sound generated by electronic components is high-frequency and highly directional, a portion of this high-frequency sound can be absorbed by using sound-absorbing components. Placing the sound-absorbing components on the cover plate and aligning them vertically with the projections of the first and second receiving cavities allows them to face the electronic components directly, further enhancing the sound absorption effect. Because the sound-absorbing cotton has a structure of randomly stacked microfibers, sound waves are reduced in energy through reflection and friction loss as they pass through the fiber pores, further improving sound absorption efficiency. The circular holes on the end caps reduce the impact of the end caps on the sound absorption effect of the cotton, thus improving its overall sound absorption performance.

[0023] A refrigerator comprising a refrigerator appliance box as described above.

[0024] In this solution, by placing the refrigerator's electrical box on top of the refrigerator, technicians can perform maintenance without moving the refrigerator or disassembling parts, thus facilitating maintenance. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​design eliminates the need for screws or other locking components during assembly; the snap-fit ​​connection allows for quick assembly and disassembly, sometimes even without tools. This method is more convenient than using screws, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Additionally, the tapered end of the snap-fit ​​connector reduces its size, making it easier to insert the connector into the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0025] The positive and progressive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0026] This utility model discloses a refrigerator electrical box and a refrigerator containing it. By placing the electrical box on the top of the refrigerator, technicians can perform maintenance without moving the refrigerator or disassembling parts, thus facilitating maintenance. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​design eliminates the need for screws or other locking components during assembly. The snap-fit ​​connection allows for quick assembly and disassembly, sometimes without tools. This method is more convenient than using screws, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. In addition, the tapered end of the snap-fit ​​connector reduces its size, making it easier to insert the connector into the snap-fit ​​hole. Attached Figure Description

[0057] The present invention will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings, using a preferred embodiment. Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a refrigerator electrical box 1000, which is snapped onto the top of the refrigerator. The refrigerator electrical box 1000 is provided with a first buckle 100, and the top of the refrigerator is provided with a second buckle. One of the first buckle 100 and the second buckle is a snap-fit ​​connector 101 with a conical end, and the other is a snap-fit ​​hole. The first buckle 100 and the second buckle are matched.

[0058] Thus, by placing the refrigerator appliance box 1000 on the top of the refrigerator, technicians can perform maintenance without moving the refrigerator or disassembling parts, facilitating maintenance. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​design eliminates the need for screws or other locking components during assembly; the snap-fit ​​connection allows for quick assembly and disassembly, sometimes without tools. This method is more convenient than using screws, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Additionally, the tapered end design of the snap-fit ​​connector reduces its size, making it easier to insert into the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0059] In this embodiment, there are several first buckles 100, which are distributed on the side where the refrigerator appliance box 1000 connects to the refrigerator. By providing several first buckles 100, the connection stability between the refrigerator appliance box 1000 and the refrigerator is further improved. The number of first buckles 100 can be adjusted according to the size of the appliance box and the refrigerator, and this embodiment does not limit it. Preferably, the first buckles 100 on the refrigerator appliance box are snap-fit ​​connectors, and the second buckles on the refrigerator are snap-fit ​​holes. Wherein, as... Figure 1 As shown, the snap-fit ​​connector extends out of the refrigerator compartment and its width gradually decreases from the direction away from the refrigerator compartment, thus making the end extending into the snap-fit ​​hole tapered. In other embodiments, the shape of the snap-fit ​​connector can be adjusted according to actual needs, and is not limited here. Figure 1 As shown in the illustration, this embodiment uses two first buckles as an example for illustrative purposes. In other embodiments, the number of first buckles can be adjusted according to actual needs, and the specific number of first buckles is not limited here.

[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the refrigerator appliance box 1000 includes a box body 200 and a cover plate 300. The cover plate 300 is placed on the box body 200 and is snapped into the box body 200.

[0061] Thus, by snapping the cover plate 300 onto the box body 200, the convenience of repeatedly disassembling and assembling the cover plate 300 can be improved.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, several third buckles 201 are distributed along the connection between the box body 200 and the cover plate 300, and fourth buckles 301 are provided at corresponding positions on the cover plate 300. One of the third buckles 201 and the fourth buckle 301 is a protrusion, and the other is a locking groove. The third buckles 201 and the fourth buckles 301 are matched. By setting the buckles between the cover plate 300 and the box body 200 into a structure of protrusion and locking groove, the ease of disassembling the cover plate 300 and the box body 200 is further improved. Preferably, the third buckle 201 is a protrusion, which refers to a cantilever beam extending from the connection point between the box body 200 and the cover plate 300 toward the cover plate 300, and the fourth buckle 301 is a locking groove, which is a rolled edge provided around the edge of the cover plate 300. This embodiment uses 15 third buckles as an example for illustrative purposes. In other embodiments, the number of third buckles can be adjusted according to actual needs, and the specific number of third buckles is not limited here.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the refrigerator appliance box 1000 also includes a connector 202. The box body 200 is provided with a first connecting hole 211, and the cover plate 300 is provided with a second connecting hole 305. The first connecting hole 211 is at least partially coincident with the second connecting hole 305 in the axial direction, or the second connecting hole 305 is at least partially coincident with the first connecting hole 211 in the axial direction. The first connecting hole 211 and the second connecting hole 305 are used for the connector 202 to pass through.

[0064] Thus, by setting the connector 202, the firmness of the installation between the cover plate 300 and the box body 200 can be further improved on the basis of the snap-fit ​​connection.

[0065] In this embodiment, the connector 202 can be a bolt, screw, or other connector 202 connecting the cover plate 300.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the box body 200 also includes a first receiving cavity 203 and a second receiving cavity 204. A first inlet hole 205 is provided on the wall of the box body 200 near the first receiving cavity 203, and a second inlet hole 206 is provided on the wall of the box body 200 near the second receiving cavity 204. The wires are connected to the first receiving cavity 203 through the first inlet hole 205, and the wires are connected to the second receiving cavity 204 through the second inlet hole 206.

[0067] Thus, by dividing the interior of the housing 200 into a first receiving cavity 203 and a second receiving cavity 204, the first receiving cavity 203 and the second receiving cavity 204 are used to place electronic components with different functions. A first wire inlet hole 205 and a second wire inlet hole 206 are respectively provided near the two receiving cavities, so that the wire entering from the first wire inlet hole 205 is connected to the first receiving cavity 203, and the wire entering from the second wire inlet hole 206 is connected to the second receiving cavity 204. This structure can avoid the crossing and confusion of control wires.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first receiving cavity 203 can house the multi-functional control board, and the second receiving cavity 204 can house the main control board, with the first receiving cavity 203 and the second receiving cavity 204 located between them. The first cable inlet 205 and the second cable inlet 206 can be formed on the side wall of the housing 200 or on the bottom wall of the housing 200.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the refrigerator appliance box 1000 also includes a first gathering member 207 and a second gathering member 208. The first gathering member 207 is disposed on the path from the first inlet hole 205 to the first receiving cavity 203, and the first gathering member 207 is used to gather the wire passing through the first inlet hole 205; and / or, the second gathering member 208 is disposed on the path from the second inlet hole 206 to the second receiving cavity 204, and the second gathering member 208 is used to gather the wire passing through the second inlet hole 206.

[0070] Thus, by setting the first gathering member 207 and the second gathering member 208, the control wires can be easily bound, preventing them from sticking up and causing the wires to become messy and cross-shaped, making them inconvenient to identify.

[0071] In this embodiment, the first gathering member 207 or the second gathering member 208 is a semi-circular arc extending from the inner wall of the housing 200, with the arc surface facing the wire. By setting the semi-circular first gathering member 207 and the second gathering member 208, the wire can be gathered and secured inside the arc, further improving the efficiency of wire gathering and improving wire arrangement. In other embodiments, those skilled in the art can also choose cable ties, rope loops, or other devices for gathering wires.

[0072] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the side wall of the box 200 is provided with a first recess 209, and the first inlet hole 205 is provided in the first recess 209. The side wall of the box 200 may also be provided with a second recess 210, and the second inlet hole 206 is provided in the second recess 210.

[0073] Thus, by setting the first inlet hole 205 and the second inlet hole 206 in the first recess 209 and the second recess 210 respectively, the first and second inlet holes 206 can be opened on the inner wall surface of the first and second recesses 210. This structure can increase the area of ​​the wire covered by the housing 200, allowing the wire to directly enter the housing 200 and connect to the first receiving cavity 203 or the second receiving cavity 204, effectively avoiding the wire from being exposed.

[0074] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, hollow conduits 400 can be respectively provided outside the first inlet hole 205 and the second inlet hole 206. One end of the conduit 400 extends into the first inlet hole 205 or the second inlet hole 206, and the other end extends out of the box 200 and extends to both sides on the side wall of the conduit 400 extending out of the box 200 to form an inlet passage 500. The inlet passage 500 is connected to the hollow inner cavity of the conduit 400.

[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a sound-absorbing component 302 is provided on the side of the cover plate 300 facing the box body 200. The projection of the sound-absorbing component 302 in the direction perpendicular to the cover plate 300 coincides with the first receiving cavity 203 and / or the second receiving cavity 204; and / or, the sound-absorbing component 302 includes sound-absorbing cotton and an end cap 303. The end cap 303 covers the sound-absorbing cotton on the cover plate 300, and a plurality of round holes 304 are provided on the end cap 303.

[0076] Thus, since the sound generated by electronic components is high-frequency and highly directional, a portion of this high-frequency sound can be absorbed by the sound-absorbing component 302. By placing the sound-absorbing component 302 on the cover plate 300 and aligning it vertically with the projections of the first and second receiving cavities 203 and 204, the sound-absorbing component 302 can face the electronic components directly, further enhancing the sound absorption effect. Because the sound-absorbing cotton has a structure of randomly stacked microfibers, sound waves are reduced in energy through reflection and friction loss as they pass through the fiber pores, further improving sound absorption efficiency. The circular hole 304 on the end cap 303 reduces its impact on the sound absorption effect of the cotton, thus improving its overall sound absorption performance.

[0077] In this embodiment, the diameter of the circular holes 304 on the end cap 303 can be 3mm, and the distance between adjacent circular holes 304 can be 6mm. This porosity effectively avoids the influence of the end cap 303 on the sound absorption effect of the sound-absorbing cotton, and can effectively absorb the high-frequency sound of electronic components. Several circular holes 304 are arranged in an array. The size, spacing, and number of the circular holes 304 can be adjusted according to the size of the end cap 303. This embodiment does not limit the size, spacing, and number of the circular holes 304. In other embodiments, the size of the box body 200 can be set larger than the size of the cover plate 300, so that the cover plate 300 is embedded in the box body 200. This method can increase the sealing performance and effectively prevent sound from propagating from the connection point. Furthermore, using a metal cover plate 300 can further effectively prevent sound propagation and sound radiation.

[0078] This embodiment also provides a refrigerator, which includes the refrigerator appliance box 1000 as described above.

[0079] Therefore, by placing the refrigerator appliance box 1000 on the top of the refrigerator, technicians can perform maintenance without moving the refrigerator or disassembling parts, thus facilitating maintenance. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​design eliminates the need for screws or other locking components during assembly; the snap-fit ​​connection allows for quick assembly and disassembly, sometimes without tools. This method is more convenient than using screws, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. In addition, the tapered end design of the snap-fit ​​connector reduces its size, making it easier to insert the connector into the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0080] While specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples, and the scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
