[0040] Please refer to Figures 1-4 Now the refrigerator provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described, which comprises a cabinet 1, an inner container 2, a first reinforcing member 4 and a second reinforcing member 5.

[0041] The inner container 2 is located inside the cabinet 1, and the inner container 2 has a first side wall 24, which is the side wall of the inner container 2 close to the rotating shaft of the side opening door 9 of the refrigerator. The first reinforcing member 4 is located on the side of the first side wall 24 close to the inside of the inner container 2, and the second reinforcing member 5 is located between the first side wall 24 and the cabinet 1, and the connecting member passes through the second reinforcing member 5, the first side wall 24 and the first reinforcing member 4 to be connected.

[0042] Specifically, as Figure 1As shown, the inner container 2 is a box-shaped structure with one side open, which has five walls, two vertically and oppositely arranged side walls, two horizontally and oppositely arranged top and bottom walls, and a rear wall. The first side wall 24 of the inner container 2 is the side wall of the two vertically and oppositely arranged side walls close to the rotation axis of the refrigerator side door 9. Figure 1 The side wall is perpendicular to the X-axis and directed in the OX direction.

[0043] Specifically, the first side wall 24 has a first side and a second side facing away from each other, the first side faces the inside of the inner container, and the second side faces the gap between the first side wall 24 and the cabinet 1. The first reinforcing member 4 is located on the first side, and the second reinforcing member 5 is located on the second side.

[0044] The first reinforcing member 4 and the second reinforcing member 5 of the present embodiment adopt a split structure, the first reinforcing member 4 is arranged inside the inner container 2, the second reinforcing member 5 is located between the inner container 2 and the cabinet 1, and the connecting member passes through the second reinforcing member 5, the first side wall 24 and the first reinforcing member 4 to connect them, so that the inner container 2 can be easily inserted into the cabinet 1, and the installation process of the two reinforcing members is simplified. In addition, since the L-shaped integral reinforcing member in the prior art extends from the inside of the inner container to the space between the inner container and the cabinet, the bending angle of the L-shaped integral reinforcing member is prone to material leakage. The first reinforcing member 4 and the second reinforcing member 5 of the present application do not extend from one side (the first side) of the first side wall 24 to the other side (the second side), so there is no material leakage problem, and there is no need to seal with hot melt glue.

[0045] The cabinet 1 of the refrigerator can be made of metal material with rust-proof and wear-resistant surface coating. The inner container 2 provides storage space for food and is made of environmentally friendly material with good heat preservation performance. The number of inner containers 2 can be one or more. Figure 1 As shown, the inner container 2 includes two, the upper inner container 2 can store refrigerated food, and the lower inner container can store frozen food.

[0046] Referring to Figure 4 , the side wall of the inner container 2 protrudes to the side of the cabinet to form a first protruding portion 22, the first protruding portion 22 is fixed with a partition assembly 3, and the first reinforcing member 4 is installed on the partition assembly 3.

[0047] Specifically, the side wall of the inner container 2 refers to the following three side walls: the first side wall 24, the side wall oppositely arranged with the first side wall, and the side wall adjacent to the first side wall. The side of the cabinet refers to the three side walls of the cabinet 1 and the three side walls of the inner container 2 oppositely arranged.

[0048] Referring to Figure 4The partition assembly 3 divides the inner container 2 into two independent spaces, the upper space being the first chamber 21 and the lower space being the second chamber 25, so as to facilitate classified storage of food and realize effective utilization of space and improve storage efficiency. It is easy to understand that the first chamber 21 and the second chamber 25 are different partitions in the same inner container 2, and thus the internal temperatures of the two are basically the same.

[0049] Referring to Figure 1 , the first chamber 21 is sealed by the side-hinged door 9, and the second chamber is sealed by the drawer door 10. The second hinge 11 installed on the top of the cabinet 1 and the first hinge 6 installed on the first reinforcing member 4 and the partition assembly 3 form a hinge mechanism, and the side-hinged door 9 is rotatably connected through the hinge mechanism.

[0050] The gravity of the side-hinged door 9 is conducted to the first hinge 6, the first hinge 6 transmits the force to the first reinforcing member 4, the first reinforcing member 4 further disperses the force to the partition assembly 3 and the second reinforcing member 5, and the force borne by the partition assembly 3 is conducted to the inner container 2, so that the first hinge 6 has higher stability and carrying capacity, and can prolong the service life of the side-hinged door 9.

[0051] Specifically, the installation process of the inner container 2 in the embodiment is as follows: first, the partition assembly 3 is installed in the first protruding part 22 of the inner container 2, then the first reinforcing member 4 is installed on the partition assembly 3, then the first hinge 6 is installed on the first reinforcing member 4, then the connecting member (such as a bolt) is connected through the second reinforcing member 5, the first side wall 24 of the inner container 2 and the first reinforcing member 4 and the partition assembly 3, and finally the inner container 2 is inserted into the cabinet 1, thereby simplifying the assembly process and improving the production efficiency.

[0052] Since the partition assembly 3 is different from the partition 128 between the two inner containers 2, the partition 128 has high structural strength and high stability; and the partition assembly 3 is detachably installed in the upper inner container 2, and thus has insufficient structural strength and insufficient stability. In order to improve the stability of the side-hinged door 9 and improve the heat insulation, after the inner container 2 is installed in the cabinet 1, the gap between the cabinet 1 and the inner container 2 needs to be filled with a heat insulation material. Optionally, the heat insulation material can be a foamed heat insulation material such as polyurethane foaming material. After the heat insulation material is filled, the overall heat preservation performance of the refrigerator is significantly improved, and at the same time, the stability of the side-hinged door 9 is enhanced by the foamed heat insulation material through close combination with the second reinforcing member 5.

[0053] As an optional implementation, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , the first area of the first protruding part 22 on the first side wall 24 is provided with a second protruding part 23; and the projection area of the second reinforcing member 5 towards the first side wall 24 partially overlaps the first area.

[0054] The second protrusion 23 is formed by protruding from the first protrusion 22 toward the gap between the first side wall 24 and the housing 1.

[0055] If the second protrusion 23 is not provided, and instead the second reinforcing member 5 is attached to the protruding end face of the first protrusion 22 (i.e., with...) Figure 4 At the point where the plane is parallel to the YOZ plane, the structural strength of the second reinforcing member 5 is lower than that of the structure with the second protrusion 23. This is because the projection area of ​​the second reinforcing member 5 toward the first sidewall 24 partially overlaps with the first area, so the area around the non-overlapping area can be filled with foamed insulation material. In this case, the second protrusion 23 is equivalent to the reinforcing steel in the steel and concrete structure, and the foamed insulation material is equivalent to the concrete in the steel and concrete structure. A large contact area is required between the reinforcing steel and the concrete to make the structure more stable.

[0056] Furthermore, by providing the second protrusion 23, the phenomenon of condensation on the first hinge 6 can be reduced. This is because the provision of the second protrusion 23 reduces the contact area between the second reinforcing member 5 and the inner liner 2, thereby reducing the conduction of cold air inside the refrigerator through the inner liner 2 to the second reinforcing member 5, and further to the first hinge 6, which would cause condensation on the first hinge 6.

[0057] During refrigerator use, there is a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside. Because the shelf assembly 3 has poor insulation performance, after the second reinforcing member 5 comes into contact with the shelf assembly 3, cold air inside the refrigerator will be conducted from the shelf assembly 3 to the second reinforcing member 5, then to the first reinforcing member 4, and finally to the first hinge 6, causing condensation on the first hinge 6 and affecting its use. Therefore, this embodiment uses the following design to mitigate the condensation phenomenon on the first hinge 6.

[0058] As an optional implementation, see [link to implementation details]. Figure 5 , Figure 6 The partition assembly 3 has a second sidewall 34 facing the first sidewall 24. A second region of the second sidewall 34 protrudes towards the first sidewall 24 to form a third protrusion 314, which is located inside the second protrusion 23. The third protrusion 314 is recessed in a direction away from the first sidewall 24 to form a heat insulation cavity 311. A first through hole 231 is provided on the second protrusion 23, and a second through hole 51 is provided on the second reinforcing member 5. The first through hole 231 and the second through hole 51 are arranged opposite to the heat insulation cavity 311. Heat insulation material is provided inside the heat insulation cavity 311 and in the region where the projection area of ​​the second reinforcing member 5 toward the first sidewall 24 does not overlap with the first region (hereinafter referred to as the third region).

[0059] For details, see Figure 7 The third region is the area enclosed by the second reinforcing member 5, the first protrusion 22, and the second protrusion 23.

[0060] SeeFigure 7 、 Figure 8 The second reinforcing member 5 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 51, and part of the second through holes 51 are arranged opposite to the third area. When the foamed thermal insulation material is filled, the foamed thermal insulation material can flow into the second through holes 51 on the second reinforcing member 5 and the first through holes 231 on the inner container 2, and then flow into the thermal insulation cavity 311 and the third area. After waiting for a period of time, the foamed thermal insulation material will solidify. Since the foamed thermal insulation material is arranged in the thermal insulation cavity 311 and the third area, the stability and load-bearing capacity of the second reinforcing member 5 are not only enhanced, but also the thermal insulation effect is achieved, thereby greatly reducing the problem that the cold air in the inner container 2 is transmitted to the second reinforcing member 5 through the partition assembly 3 and then conducted to the first hinge 6, causing the first hinge 6 to condense.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the width of the second protruding portion 23 is smaller than the width of the first protruding portion 22; see Figure 8 The second reinforcing member 5 is provided with second flanges 52 on both sides, and the distance between the second flanges 52 on both sides is greater than the width of the first protruding portion 22 or the second protruding portion 23.

[0062] Taking the first side wall 24 as an example, Figure 4 The protruding size in the OX direction is the thickness of the first protruding portion on the first side wall 24, Figure 4 The protruding size in the OZ direction is the width of the first protruding portion on the first side wall 24, Figure 4 The protruding size in the OY direction is the length of the first protruding portion on the first side wall 24.

[0063] Optionally, the second protruding portion 23 is in a strip shape, and the length direction of the second protruding portion 23 is the same as the length direction of the second reinforcing member 5.

[0064] Since the width of the second protruding portion 23 is smaller than the width of the first protruding portion 22, and the width between the second flanges 52 is greater than the width of the first protruding portion 22, the second reinforcing member 5 has a larger contact area with the foamed thermal insulation material in part of the length direction (OY direction) of the second reinforcing member 5, so that the second reinforcing member 5 has higher stability and strength. Figure 4

[0065] In an optional embodiment, the second flange 52 below the second reinforcing member 5 along the height direction of the refrigerator abuts against the lower edge of the second protruding portion 23 along the height direction of the refrigerator. Figure 7 By abutting the second flange 52 below the second reinforcing member 5 against the lower edge of the second protruding portion 23, the second reinforcing member 5 can conduct stress to the second protruding portion 23, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the second reinforcing member 5.

[0066]

[0067] ​​Optionally, the lower edge of the second protruding part 23 in the height direction of the refrigerator is flush with the lower edge of the first protruding part 22, and the second flange 52 below the second reinforcing part 5 abuts against the lower edges of the first protruding part 22 and the second protruding part 23, so that the second reinforcing part 5 can conduct the force to the first protruding part 22 and the second protruding part 23.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, the first reinforcing part 4 further comprises a bending part 41, the bending part 41 is arranged opposite to the first side wall 24, and the connecting part passes through the second reinforcing part 5, the first side wall 24 and the bending part 41 to connect with the partition assembly 3.

[0069] Referring to Figure 6 , the bending part 41 is located in the limiting groove 315. The second reinforcing part 5 is provided with a second assembly hole 45, and the second reinforcing part 5 is provided with a third assembly hole 53. The bolt passes through the third assembly hole 53 of the second reinforcing part 5, the through hole of the inner container 2, the second assembly hole 45 of the bending part 41 and the threaded hole of the partition assembly 3 in sequence for connection.

[0070] Since the connecting part in the embodiment passes through the second reinforcing part 5, the first side wall 24 and the bending part 41, and then connects with the partition assembly 3. Therefore, unlike the L-shaped integrated reinforcing part in the prior art which extends into the box body 1 and the inner container 2 and is only fixed by the foamed heat insulation material, the force borne by the second reinforcing part 5 in the embodiment can be further conducted to the partition assembly 3, so that the structure of the second reinforcing part 5 is more stable.

[0071] In an optional embodiment, the partition assembly 3 comprises a partition body 31, a partition foam 32 and a front beam cover 33. The partition body 31 is provided with a containing groove 312, the partition foam 32 is arranged in the containing groove 312, and the front beam cover 33 is installed on the partition body 31 and covers the containing groove 312. The first reinforcing part 4 is located between the partition foam 32 and the front beam cover 33.

[0072] Specifically, the containing groove 312 is located on the front side of the partition body 31, and the front side of the partition body 31 is adjacent to the second side wall 34 of the partition assembly 3 and close to the rotation shaft of the side opening door 9.

[0073] It should be noted that the partition foam 32 is different from the foamed heat insulation material. The partition foam 32 has a fixed shape, while the foamed heat insulation material is liquid when filled and becomes solid after solidification.

[0074] Referring to Figure 6 , a plurality of reinforcing ribs 313 are arranged in the containing groove 312, and the partition foam 32 is provided with a avoiding groove 321 relative to the position of the reinforcing ribs 313, and the partition foam 32 can be embedded in the containing groove 312.

[0075] Specifically, referring to Figure 9, the first reinforcing member 4 is L-shaped structure, in addition to the first reinforcing member 4 of the bending part 41 along its length direction is provided with the first flanging 42, the partition foam 32 is provided with the groove body which adapts with the first flanging 42, so that the first reinforcing member 4 can be clamped on the partition foam 32. The first reinforcing member 4 is also provided with the first assembly hole 44, the second assembly hole 45 and the hinge hole 43, wherein the second assembly hole 45 is located on the bending part 41.

[0076] Referring to Figure 9 , the bolt is connected in the containing groove 312 by passing through the first assembly hole 44 on the first reinforcing member 4 and the corresponding assembly hole on the partition foam 32, and the front beam cover 33 is buckled on the front side of the partition body 31. The front beam cover 33, the first reinforcing member 4 and the partition foam 32 are provided with corresponding hinge holes 43, and the bolt passes through the hinge holes 43 on the front beam cover 33, the first reinforcing member 4 and the partition foam 32 in turn to install and fix the first hinge 6 on the partition assembly 3.

[0077] Because the containing groove 312 is provided with the reinforcing rib 313, and the partition foam 32 is provided with the avoiding groove 321, a small part of cold air in the refrigerator will be transmitted to the first reinforcing member 4 along the avoiding groove 321, and long time may cause frost on the first hinge 6. Therefore, the refrigerator of the embodiment further comprises a defrosting pipe 7, part of the defrosting pipe 7 is arranged between the partition foam 32 and the front beam cover 33, the defrosting pipe 7 contains high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant, which can transmit heat to the first hinge 6, so as to prevent the first hinge 6 from frosting. Optionally, the partition body 31 is made of plastic material, which can reduce the transmission of cold air.

[0078] Optionally, the first reinforcing member 4 and the second reinforcing member 5 can be made of iron, stainless steel or alloy material.

[0079] In another alternative embodiment, the partition assembly 3 comprises a partition body 31 and a U-shaped plug-in structure (not shown in the figure), the U-shaped plug-in structure is a hollow cavity, and the cavity of the U-shaped plug-in structure is provided with heat insulation material.

[0080] Optionally, the U-shaped plug-in structure comprises an integral front beam and plug-in parts at both ends of the front beam, and the plug-in parts can be provided with sliding rails, so that the U-shaped plug-in structure can be slidably plugged into the partition body 31. The first reinforcing member 4 is installed in the hollow cavity of the U-shaped plug-in structure, and the first hinge 6, the U-shaped plug-in structure and the first reinforcing member 4 are fixedly connected by bolts. The second reinforcing member 5 can be connected in the same way as shown in the figure. Figures 3-5

[0081] ​The hollow cavity of the U-shaped plug-in structure is not installed with the partition foam 32, but is foamed together, so that the inside of the U-shaped plug-in structure is filled with the foamed heat insulation material. In this way, the dew removal pipe 7 does not need to be installed, and the cold air on the side of the partition assembly 3 can also be avoided from being transmitted to the first hinge 6 through the second reinforcing member 5 to cause the first hinge 6 to dew. This is because the foamed heat insulation material can be filled in the hollow cavity of the U-shaped plug-in structure without gaps, and the avoiding groove 321 on the partition foam 32 will not appear, so that the cold air cannot be transmitted to the first hinge 6 through the U-shaped plug-in structure.

[0082] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement to part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims and the specification of the present application.
