These refrigeration devices use air duct modules to deliver cool air to the chamber, achieving the cooling effect. However, in related technologies, the air duct module encroaches on the depth space of the refrigeration device, resulting in a smaller capacity for storing items. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to at least partially solve the technical problem that air duct modules encroach on the depth space of refrigeration equipment, resulting in a smaller storage space for items in the refrigeration equipment. To this end, this application provides a refrigeration device.

[0011] In some embodiments, the housing includes a rear plate connected to the rear wall, the air outlet is disposed on the rear plate, and the panel includes a mating portion that mates with the rear plate, the mating portion being disposed at one end of the rear plate near the side wall and covering the portion of the air outlet.

[0012] In some embodiments, the mating part has a first guide slope that covers a portion of the air outlet and is inclined away from the rear wall along the air outlet direction.

[0013] In some embodiments, the rear plate has a first mating slope, the mating portion has a second mating slope, and the first mating slope contacts the second mating slope.

[0031] More and more users are choosing ultra-thin refrigeration equipment and appliances, which offer advantages such as aesthetics, small footprint, and ease of embedded installation. These refrigeration devices use air duct modules to deliver cool air to the chamber, achieving the cooling effect. However, in related technologies, the air duct module encroaches on the depth space of the refrigeration device, resulting in a smaller capacity for storing items.

[0032] In order to improve the problems existing in the related technologies to a certain extent, the embodiments of this application provide a refrigeration device that can meet the ultra-thin requirements of the refrigeration device while ensuring the volume of the chamber as much as possible.

[0033] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0034] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a refrigeration device 10 that can meet the ultra-thin requirements of the refrigeration device 10 while maximizing the storage space for items in the refrigeration device 10.

[0035] The refrigeration device 10 can be a freezer or a refrigerator. In this embodiment, for ease of description, a refrigerator is used as an example for illustrating the refrigeration device 10. The same principle applies when the refrigeration device 10 is another device.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-3In this embodiment, the refrigeration device 10 includes a housing 100 and an air duct module 200. The housing 100 has a chamber 110 for containing items and an opening 120 communicating with the chamber 110. The chamber 110 has a rear wall 112 and a side wall 111. The rear wall 112 is disposed opposite to the opening 120, and the side wall 111 is disposed at an angle to the rear wall 112. The air duct module 200 is installed on the side wall 111 and connected to the rear wall 112. The air duct module 200 has an air supply duct 210 and an air outlet 220 communicating with the air supply duct 210. The air outlet 220 is disposed on the portion of the air duct module 200 connected to the rear wall 112, and the air outlet 220 extends along the width direction X of the housing 100. The air outlet 220 is used to supply air to the chamber 110.

[0037] The enclosure 100 is roughly rectangular. For ease of description, the height direction Z, width direction X, and thickness direction are defined. In the operating state of the refrigeration device 10, the vertical direction is the height direction Z, and the projection of the enclosure 100 in the vertical direction is a rectangle. The direction of the longer side is the width direction X, and the direction of the shorter side is the thickness direction.

[0038] Similarly, for ease of description, six directions are defined: up, down, left, right, front, and back. In the height direction Z, the direction closer to the top surface is up, and the direction further from the top surface is down. In the width direction X, the two directions are left and right, respectively. In the thickness direction, the opening 120 closer to the chamber 110 is front, and the opening 120 further from the chamber 110 is back.

[0039] The housing 100 is the main structure of the entire refrigeration equipment 10. It provides a mounting base for the air duct module 200, compressor, evaporator 260, and other structures, and also protects the aforementioned electronic components. The chamber 110 of the housing 100 has an opening 120, through which users can access and place items.

[0040] The chamber 110 can be equipped with drawers, which can be slidably installed inside the chamber 110. By setting up drawers, users can help to store different types of items separately, improving the convenience of use. Independent temperature control can also be set for different drawers to meet the optimal storage temperature for different foods. The drawers are usually detachable, so users can easily take them out for cleaning and keep the inside of the refrigeration equipment 10 hygienic. The drawers can also be set up with various functional partitions, such as egg racks, seasoning boxes, etc., so that users can store various small items conveniently.

[0041] The chamber 110 may include a refrigeration chamber 113 and a freezing chamber 114. The refrigeration chamber 113 is used to hold items to be refrigerated, and the freezing chamber 114 is used to hold items to be frozen. The freezing chamber 114 may be located below the refrigeration chamber 113. Alternatively, the chamber 110 may include only one of the refrigeration chamber 113 and the freezing chamber 114. The different chambers have different temperatures and functions. The different temperature ranges of the refrigeration chamber 113 and the freezing chamber 114 can be adjusted by a temperature control device set inside or outside the cabinet 100.

[0042] The chamber 110 has a rear wall 112 and side walls 111. The rear wall 112 is disposed opposite to the opening 120. There are two side walls 111, and both side walls 111 are disposed at an angle to the rear wall 112. The rear wall 112 and the opening 120 are disposed opposite to each other in the depth direction Y, and the rear wall 112 extends along the height direction Z. The two side walls 111 are disposed opposite to each other in the width direction X, and the side walls 111 are perpendicular to the rear wall 112.

[0043] The air duct module 200 has an air supply duct 210 and an air outlet 220 communicating with the air supply duct 210. The air outlet 220 is used to supply air to the chamber 110 to refrigerate or freeze the items inside the chamber 110. Multiple air outlets 220 can be provided, and they are spaced apart along the height direction Z, so that the cold air covers the chamber 110 as much as possible in the height direction Z, thereby improving the temperature uniformity of the chamber 110.

[0044] Since the air duct module 200 is installed on the side wall 111, the air duct module 200 can occupy as little space as possible in the depth direction Y of the cabinet 100, so as to meet the ultra-thin requirements of the refrigeration equipment 10 while ensuring the volume of the chamber 110 as much as possible, thereby ensuring the space for storing items.

[0045] The drawer generally slides along the depth direction Y of the cabinet 100. Since the air duct module 200 is also connected to the rear wall 112, the air outlet 220 is set at the part of the air duct module 200 connected to the rear wall 112. The air outlet 220 is set at the rear end of the air duct module 200 and is located at the rear end of the chamber 110. By setting the air outlet 220 at the corner of the chamber 110, interference with the drawer can be reduced when the drawer is installed in the chamber 110, thereby increasing the effective volume of the drawer and further improving the storage space.

[0046] The air outlet 220 extends along the width direction X of the housing 100, so that the air outlet 220 extends as far as possible to the center of the chamber 110, thereby allowing the cold air blown out by the air outlet 220 to reach all areas within the chamber 110, making the temperature of the chamber 110 more uniform and improving the cooling effect.

[0047] In some embodiments, the air outlet 220 is set at an angle to the rear wall 112.

[0048] The air outlet 220 is angled to the rear wall 112, meaning the air outlet 220 is angled towards the center of its chamber 110. This allows the air outlet 220 to circulate better within the chamber 110, improving cooling efficiency and ensuring cooling effect. Specifically, taking the air duct module 200 located on the right side of the chamber 110 as an example, the air outlet 220 is positioned to the right rear of its chamber 110, allowing the air outlet 220 to direct its airflow towards the left front of its chamber 110. This ensures that the cold air blown out by the air outlet 220 diffuses diagonally along the chamber 110, resulting in a more uniform temperature within the chamber 110 and improved cooling effect.

[0049] Furthermore, the air outlet 220 is positioned close to the air duct module 200, which shortens the flow path of the air duct 210 within the air duct module 200, increases the air supply velocity, and reduces the volume and number of structural components that extend the air outlet 220 to the middle of the chamber 110, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and difficulty of the structural components.

[0050] In some embodiments, the refrigeration device 10 also includes a drawer that is slidably mounted in the chamber 110, and the drawer and the air outlet 220 are offset in the height direction Z of the housing 100.

[0051] The drawer can slide into or out of the chamber 110 through the opening 120 to access items. Because the drawer and the air vent 220 are offset along the Z-axis of the height of the housing 100, the drawer does not contact the air vent 220, thus preventing the air vent 220 from directly occupying drawer space, reducing its impact on the drawer and increasing its effective volume. Furthermore, the air vent 220 does not obstruct the normal opening and closing of the drawer, improving the user's storage space and user experience.

[0052] Specifically, taking the top of the drawer as an example, the air outlet 220 can be located on the top of the drawer so that the air blown out by the air outlet 220 can enter the corresponding drawer and cool the stored items inside the drawer.

[0053] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the air duct module 200 includes a housing 230 and a panel 240. The housing 230 is mounted on the side wall 111 and connected to the rear wall 112. An air supply duct 210 is disposed on the housing 230. The panel 240 is connected to the housing 230 to form a return air duct 270. An air outlet 220 is disposed on the portion of the housing 230 connected to the rear wall 112.

[0054] The housing 230 is the basic component of the duct module 200, used to provide installation and protection for other components of the duct module 200. The housing 230 and the panel 240 can be made of metal materials to have good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, or they can be made of composite materials to have good corrosion resistance, light weight and good thermal insulation, which can not only reduce the weight of the entire duct module 200, but also improve the thermal insulation effect and reduce energy consumption.

[0055] The air duct module 200 also includes a fan 250 and an evaporator 260, which can be installed inside the housing 230. The fan 250 is used to drive cold air to circulate within the chamber 110 and the cavity, improving cooling efficiency. The evaporator 260 is used to absorb heat to achieve a cooling effect. The fan 250 and the evaporator 260 can be fixed inside the housing 230 by brackets to ensure their stability and reliability.

[0056] The panel 240 is also equipped with a return air vent 244. The cold air, after being cooled by the evaporator 260, flows out through the air supply duct 210 under the action of the fan 250, enters the chamber 110 through the air supply vent 220, freezes or refrigerates the items, and then flows back to the return air duct 270 through the return air vent 244, and is cooled again by the evaporator 260, realizing the circulation of cold air.

[0057] When installing the air duct module 200, first install components such as the fan 250 and evaporator 260 inside the housing 230, then connect the panel 240 to the housing 230 to form the return air duct 270. The housing 230, panel 240, fan 250, and evaporator 260 together form the air duct module 200. Finally, install the entire air duct module 200 on the side wall 111, and connect the housing 230 to the rear wall 112.

[0058] In some embodiments, housing 230 includes a rear plate 231 connected to rear wall 112, air outlet 220 disposed on rear plate 231, and panel 240 includes a mating portion 241 that mates with rear plate 231. The mating portion 241 is disposed at one end of rear plate 231 near side wall 111 and covers a portion of air outlet 220.

[0059] The mating part 241 mates with the rear plate 231. This mating part 241 can either contact the rear plate 231 or be connected to it; there are no restrictions on this. Since the mating part 241 is located at the end of the rear plate 231 near the side wall 111, the cold air in the air supply duct 210 will first pass through the mating part 241 when flowing into the air outlet 220. Because the mating part 241 covers part of the air outlet 220, it can guide the cold air from the air supply duct 210, adjusting the airflow direction as needed and improving the cooling effect.

[0060] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the mating part 241 has a first guide slope 242 that covers a portion of the air outlet 220 and is inclined in a direction away from the rear wall 112 along the air outlet direction.

[0061] It is understandable that the first guide slope 242 is set relative to the rear wall 112. The first guide slope 242 is set on the mating part 241 to guide the airflow direction. When the cold air reaches the mating part 241, it is tilted and delivered under the action of the first guide slope 242. The first guide slope 242 is tilted away from the rear wall 112 along the airflow direction, that is, tilted towards the middle of the chamber 110, so as to guide the cold air to the middle of the chamber 110 and blow it in a diagonal direction, so as to ensure that the temperature in the chamber 110 is more uniform and improve the cooling effect.

[0062] In some embodiments, the rear plate 231 has a first mating slope 232, and the mating part 241 has a second mating slope 243, with the first mating slope 232 in contact with the second mating slope 243.

[0063] That is, the first mating inclined surface 232 of the rear plate 231 contacts the second mating inclined surface 243 of the mating part 241, so that the mating part 241 and the rear plate 231 are mated. The contact between the mating part 241 and the rear plate 231 through the inclined surface increases the contact area between the mating part 241 and the rear plate 231, making the fit between the mating part 241 and the rear plate 231 tighter. This allows the cold air flowing out of the air supply duct 210 to be blown to the center of the chamber 110 under the guidance of the mating part 241 as much as possible, reducing the amount of cold air flowing out from the gap between the rear plate 231 and the mating part 241.

[0064] Furthermore, the mating part 241 and the rear plate 231 are in contact via inclined surfaces, which can also serve as a guide and positioner when the panel 240 is installed onto the housing 230. That is, the first mating inclined surface 232 and the second mating inclined surface 243 are in contact to achieve precise positioning between the housing 230 and the panel 240, thereby improving the guiding effect of the mating part 241.

[0065] Specifically, the first mating inclined surface 232 is disposed on the side of the rear plate 231 away from the rear wall 112. The mating part 241 includes a mating plate 241a and side plates 241b disposed on both sides of the mating plate 241a. The first guide inclined surface 242 is disposed on the mating plate 241a, and the two side plates 241b are in contact with the rear plate 231. The second mating inclined surface 243 is disposed on the side plates 241b. Alternatively, the rear plate 231 may have two first mating inclined surfaces 232, and both side plates 241b may have second mating inclined surfaces 243, with the two first mating inclined surfaces 232 contacting the two second mating inclined surfaces 243 respectively. Or, the rear plate 231 may have only one first mating inclined surface 232, and one side plate 241b may have a second mating inclined surface 243, with the first mating inclined surface 232 contacting the second mating inclined surface 243. There is no limitation on this.

[0066] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the rear wall 112 is provided with a protrusion 115 corresponding to the air outlet 220. The protrusion 115 is located on the side of the housing 230 away from the side wall 111. The protrusion 115 is provided with a second guide slope 116, which is inclined away from the rear wall 112 along the air outlet direction.

[0067] Since the mating part 241 is located at the end of the rear plate 231 near the side wall 111, in other words, the mating part 241 is located at the end of the air outlet 220 near the side wall 111, some of the cold air blown out by the air duct 210 will first be blown out to the middle of the chamber 110 under the guidance of the mating part, while some of the cold air will continue to be blown out along the air outlet 220. In order to ensure that the cold air blown out by the air outlet 220 can be blown to the middle of the chamber 110 as much as possible, a protrusion 115 is provided at the end of the air outlet 220 away from the side wall 111. The protrusion 115 is provided with a second guide slope 116 to guide the direction of the cold air.

[0068] The protrusion 115 is correspondingly arranged with the air outlet 220, meaning that the protrusion 115 and the air outlet 220 are basically flush in the width direction X. This allows the cold air blown out of the air outlet 220 to pass over the protrusion 115, guiding the direction of the cold air flow. The second guide slope 116 is inclined away from the rear wall 112 along the air outlet direction, that is, towards the center of the chamber 110, to guide the cold air to the center of the chamber 110 and blow it diagonally, ensuring a more uniform temperature within the chamber 110 and improving the cooling effect.

[0069] Since the mating part 241 is located at the end of the air outlet 220 near the side wall 111, and the protrusion 115 is located at the end of the air outlet 220 away from the side wall 111, that is, along the air outlet direction, the mating part 241 can guide the cold air at the beginning of the air outlet 220, and the protrusion 115 can guide the cold air at the end of the air outlet 220. Under the joint guidance of the mating part 241 and the protrusion 115, the cold air blown out of the air outlet 220 can be blown as far as possible to the middle of the chamber 110, so that the temperature inside the chamber 110 is more uniform.

[0070] Specifically, the protrusion 115 and the rear wall 112 can be integrally formed to reduce the manufacturing steps of the refrigeration device 10 and make the structure of the refrigeration device 10 more simplified.

[0071] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, the rear wall 112 is provided with a protrusion 115 corresponding to the air outlet 220. The protrusion 115 is provided with a second guide slope 116. The second guide slope 116 is inclined away from the rear wall 112 along the air outlet direction. The end of the housing 230 away from the side wall 111 is provided with a third mating slope 233. The third mating slope 233 contacts the second guide slope 116.

[0072] Along the air outlet direction of the air outlet 220, the end of the housing 230 away from the side wall 111 is the end of the air outlet 220. Since the end of the housing 230 away from the side wall 111 is provided with a third mating inclined surface 233, which contacts the second guide inclined surface 116, the cold air at the end of the air outlet 220 can still be blown out through the second guide inclined surface 116. Furthermore, under the cooperation of the third mating inclined surface 233 and the second guide inclined surface 116, the air outlet 220 and the second guide inclined surface 116 can fit more tightly, improving the guiding effect of the second guide inclined surface 116.

[0073] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the duct panel 240 further includes a barrier grille 280 disposed at the air outlet 220.

[0074] The air outlet 220 has an opening on the side opposite the rear wall 112, that is, an opening on the front side of the air outlet 220. The baffle 280 is installed at the opening, so that the baffle 280 can prevent food in the chamber 110 from falling into the air outlet 220 through the opening and causing blockage of the air outlet 220, thus affecting the airflow. Moreover, since the baffle 280 is a non-sealed structure with a gap, the installation of the baffle 280 will not affect the normal airflow of the air outlet 220.

[0075] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, there are two chambers 110, each of which includes a refrigeration chamber 113 and a freezing chamber 114. There are two air duct modules 200, which are respectively installed on the side walls 111 of the two chambers 110 to supply air to the corresponding refrigeration chamber 113 and freezing chamber 114.

[0076] The two chambers 110 are independent of each other and can be arranged side by side along the width direction X. There are two air duct modules 200, each installed on the side wall 111 of one of the two chambers 110. That is, each side wall 111 of the two chambers 110 has an air duct module 200, and the air duct module 200 can supply air to the corresponding refrigeration chamber 113 and freezing chamber 114 of the chamber 110. Since both chambers 110 have freezing and refrigeration functions, and the two chambers 110 do not share an air duct module 200 for cooling, but rather each chamber 110 independently uses a set of air duct modules 200 for cooling, one chamber 110 can be considered as one refrigeration unit 10. This allows one refrigeration unit 10 to simultaneously perform the functions of two refrigeration units 10. In this way, it minimizes the cross-contamination of odors between the two refrigeration chambers 113 and between the two freezing chambers 114, improving the storage quality of food.

[0077] In summary, the refrigeration device 10 provided in this application embodiment, because the air duct module 200 is installed on the side wall 111, can minimize the space occupied by the air duct module 200 in the depth direction Y of the housing 100. This allows the refrigeration device 10 to meet its ultra-thin requirements while maximizing the volume of the chamber 110, thereby ensuring sufficient space for storing items. Furthermore, since the air duct module 200 is also connected to the rear wall 112, and the air outlet 220 is located at the part of the air duct module 200 connected to the rear wall 112 (i.e., at the corner of the chamber 110), the interference of the air outlet 220 with the drawers within the chamber 110 can be reduced, increasing the effective volume of the drawers and further improving storage space.
