Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator technology, and in particular to an embedded refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] Refrigerators generate heat during operation, which needs to be dissipated promptly. Typically, the heat dissipation structure of a refrigerator is located at the rear of the cabinet. However, for aesthetic reasons, built-in refrigerators are increasingly common in homes. Since built-in refrigerators are usually fully integrated into cabinets, it's not advisable to place the heat dissipation structure at the rear of the cabinet, as this would hinder heat dissipation. Therefore, the heat dissipation vents of existing built-in refrigerators are usually located at the front bottom of the cabinet.

[0003] Existing built-in refrigerators have a baseboard structure at the bottom with vents for heat dissipation. Due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures, the baseboard structure is prone to deformation. Currently, replacing the baseboard structure requires complete removal and replacement, resulting in high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an embedded refrigerator.

[0005] An embedded refrigerator includes: a cabinet; a connecting base installed at the bottom of the cabinet, wherein the connecting base has a plurality of first air vents; and a decorative piece detachably connected to the side of the connecting base away from the cabinet, wherein the decorative piece has a plurality of second air vents.

[0006] With this configuration, the heat inside the built-in refrigerator can be dissipated outward through the first and second air vents. Since the connecting base and decorative parts are detachable, if one of them deforms due to prolonged high-temperature environment, it can be disassembled, repaired, or replaced separately, thereby reducing maintenance costs and facilitating individual processing of both.

[0007] In one embodiment, the connector is made of plastic and the decorative element is made of metal.

[0008] In one embodiment, the second air vent is configured as a rectangular opening that extends horizontally, and a plurality of the second air vents are spaced apart along the vertical direction to form a grille structure.

[0009] In one embodiment, the decorative element includes a connecting plate and a decorative plate, the connecting plate being connected to the connecting seat, the decorative plate being connected to the side of the connecting plate away from the connecting seat, and the decorative plate being angled to the connecting plate, and the decorative plate being spaced apart from the connecting seat;

[0010] The decorative panel has multiple decorative strips on its side facing the connecting seat, and the decorative strips are connected to the lower edge of the opening of each of the second air vents.

[0011] In one embodiment, the cross-section of the decorative strip is set to be arc-shaped, and the decorative strip bends upward along the direction close to the connecting seat. The line connecting the end of the decorative strip close to the connecting seat and the upper edge assembly of the second air vent is a viewing line, and the angle α between the viewing line and the vertical direction is set to 50°-70°.

[0012] In one embodiment, the built-in refrigerator further includes a door body that is rotatably connected to the cabinet body; a push rod is also provided at the bottom of the cabinet body, the push rod being able to extend or retract and abut against the door body.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-8 This utility model provides an embedded refrigerator 100, whose baseboard structure is configured as a detachable connecting base 30 and a decorative piece 40, both of which can be disassembled separately for easy maintenance.

[0036] The built-in refrigerator 100 includes a cabinet 10, a connecting base 30, and a decorative piece 40. The connecting base 30 is installed at the bottom of the cabinet 10 and has multiple first air vents 31. The decorative piece 40 is detachably connected to the side of the connecting base 30 away from the cabinet 10 and has multiple second air vents 41.

[0037] In this way, the heat inside the built-in refrigerator 100 can be dissipated to the outside through the first air vent 31 and the second air vent 41. Since the connecting base 30 and the decorative part 40 are detachably connected, when one of them deforms due to prolonged high temperature environment, it can be disassembled, repaired or replaced separately, thereby reducing maintenance costs and facilitating separate processing of both.

[0038] In this embodiment, the connector 30 is made of plastic, while the decorative part 40 is made of metal. Since metal has good heat transfer properties and a more aesthetically pleasing and textured appearance, the decorative part 40, located on the outside and easily visible to the user, is made of metal. The connector 30, located on the inside and not easily seen, is made of plastic, thus reducing costs. This arrangement balances aesthetics and cost-effectiveness.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the decorative element 40 is made of aluminum alloy.

[0040] Please see Figure 2 The second air vent 41 is a rectangular opening that extends horizontally, and multiple second air vents 41 are spaced apart vertically to form a grille structure. This ensures sufficient airflow on the decorative piece 40, and the grille structure makes the airflow more uniform, thereby improving its heat dissipation capacity.

[0041] Understandably, in other embodiments, the second air vent 41 may also be configured as circular or triangular, etc.

[0042] Please see Figure 4 The decorative component 40 includes a connecting plate 42 and a decorative plate 43. The connecting plate 42 is connected to the connecting seat 30, and the decorative plate 43 is connected to the side of the connecting plate 42 away from the connecting seat 30, with the decorative plate 43 and the connecting plate 42 arranged at an angle. The decorative plate 43 and the connecting seat 30 are spaced apart. Multiple decorative strips 421 are formed on the side of the decorative plate 43 facing the connecting seat 30, and the decorative strips 421 are connected to the lower edge of the opening of each second air vent 41. Thus, the connecting plate 42 is used to fix the decorative component 40 and the connecting seat 30, while the decorative plate 43 is used to open the second air vents 41 to prevent the opening of the second air vents 41 from affecting the overall structural strength of the decorative component 40. The decorative strips 421 can guide airflow and reduce turbulence during airflow, thereby improving airflow and heat dissipation efficiency. They also serve to shield the internal structure, preventing the grille structure from directly exposing its internal structure.

[0043] Further, please see Figure 5The decorative strip 421 has an arc-shaped cross-section and curves upwards along the direction near the connecting seat 30. The line connecting the end of the decorative strip 421 near the connecting seat 30 and the upper edge of the opening of the second air vent 41 forms the viewing line, and the angle α between the viewing line and the vertical direction is set to 50°-70°. This arc-shaped decorative strip 421 provides better airflow guidance. Furthermore, due to the aforementioned angle α, users with a height of 1.6m-1.8m standing a certain distance in front of the refrigerator (usually within half a meter) can only see the decorative strip 421 through the grille, without seeing the internal structure. This effectively blocks the view of most users of similar height, thereby enhancing the overall aesthetics of the baseboard through the decorative strip 421.

[0044] The built-in refrigerator 100 also includes a door 20, which is rotatably connected to the cabinet 10. A push rod 50 is also provided at the bottom of the cabinet 10. The push rod 50 can extend or retract and abut against the door 20. In this way, the door 20 of the built-in refrigerator 100 can be automatically opened by extending the push rod 50, realizing the self-opening door function.

[0045] Furthermore, to accommodate the extension of the push rod 50, the connecting seat 30 has a first clearance groove 33, and the decorative piece 40 has a second clearance groove 44. Along the extension direction of the push rod 50, the first clearance groove 33 and the second clearance groove 44 at least partially overlap. This ensures that the push rod 50 can smoothly abut against the door body 20 through the first clearance groove 33 and the second clearance groove 44, and push the door body 20 open.

[0046] Specifically, the push rod 50 is positioned in the middle of the transverse direction of the housing 10, the first clearance groove 33 is located in the middle of the longitudinal direction of the connecting seat 30, and the second clearance groove 44 is located in the middle of the longitudinal direction of the decorative piece 40. A stop plate 21 is provided at the bottom of the door 20, extending along the extension path of the push rod 50. Thus, when the push rod 50, located in the middle, abuts against the door 20, the force on the door 20 is more even, and the opening angle and stroke are sufficient. The stop plate 21 is specifically designed for contact with the push rod 50, preventing wear on the door 20 caused by prolonged contact between the push rod 50 and the door 20.

[0047] The abutment plate 21 includes a connecting section 211 and a covering section 212. The connecting section 211 is connected to the door body 20, and the covering section 212 is connected to the connecting section 211 and is perpendicular to the connecting section 211. It covers the groove of the second clearance groove 44 away from the connecting seat 30. The side of the covering section 212 away from the connecting seat 30 is flush with the side of the decorative piece 40 away from the connecting seat 30. In this way, the covering section 212 can cover the groove of the second clearance groove 44 away from the connecting seat 30, making the outer side of the baseboard smoother and improving the visual appeal.

[0048] In addition, please see Figure 6 Multiple reinforcing ribs 32 are provided on the side of the connecting seat 30 near the housing 10. The reinforcing ribs 32 are evenly spaced along the length of the connecting seat 30, which improves the structural strength of the connecting seat 30. The first air outlet 31 is evenly spaced along the length of the connecting seat 30, so that the connecting seat 30 can achieve more uniform air outlet.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the heat inside the embedded refrigerator 100 provided by this utility model can be dissipated to the outside through the first air vent 31 and the second air vent 41. Since the connecting seat 30 and the decorative part 40 are detachably connected, when one of them deforms due to a long-term high-temperature environment, it can be disassembled, repaired or replaced separately, thereby reducing maintenance costs and facilitating the separate processing of both.

[0050] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0051] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
