Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerator front beam installation, specifically to a front beam support component for refrigerators. Background Technology
[0002] A refrigerator is a refrigeration device that maintains a constant low temperature. It is mainly divided into two types: direct cooling and air cooling, and is primarily used for storing and preserving food. By lowering the temperature of food, refrigerators can extend its shelf life, prevent bacterial growth, and maintain its freshness and taste. Refrigerators typically consist of components such as a compressor and an ice maker, using a refrigeration system to maintain a low temperature inside the refrigerator.
[0003] Most existing refrigerators use a vertical front beam to support the top of the refrigerator body, increasing its structural strength. However, because vertical beams have relatively low load-bearing and support capabilities, they are prone to damage and bending over time, causing overall deformation of the refrigerator and making it inconvenient for users. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new front beam support component for refrigerators to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an upper front beam support component for a refrigerator, so as to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A front beam support member for a refrigerator includes a cabinet, the interior of which is provided with an installation groove, and a front beam body is installed on one side of the installation groove.
[0007] The upper front beam body includes an upper front beam panel installed at one end of the mounting groove, an upper front beam top plate installed at the top of the upper front beam panel, and upper front beam side plates installed at both ends of the upper front beam top plate.
[0008] A support plate is installed at the bottom of the upper front beam top plate, an opening is provided in the middle of the upper front beam panel, and positioning grooves are provided at both ends of the upper front beam panel. A return spring is installed inside the positioning groove, and one end of the return spring is connected to a pressing plate.
[0009] Preferably, the upper front beam side plate is internally threaded with fixing bolts.
[0010] Preferably, threaded holes are provided on both sides of the support plate.
[0011] Preferably, the top end of the support plate is threaded with a mounting bolt, and the bottom end of the top plate of the upper front beam is provided with a mounting hole.
[0012] Preferably, mounting plates are installed at both ends of the return spring.
[0013] Preferably, a mounting hole is provided on one side of the upper front beam panel.
[0014] Preferably, a first decorative cover is installed on one side of the upper front beam panel, and a second decorative cover is installed on one end of the first decorative cover.
[0015] Preferably, a fixing shaft is installed on one side of the first decorative cover.
[0016] In the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the front beam support component for a refrigerator provided by this utility model are as follows:
[0017] First, the top and sides of the support plate are fixed to the upper front beam panel and the upper front beam side plate respectively using fixing bolts and mounting bolts. The support plate increases the load-bearing capacity of the upper front beam body, thereby increasing its support strength. The fixing bolts are inserted into the threaded holes and fixed to the inner wall of the housing for installation, thus fixing the upper front beam body to one side of the housing. At the same time, during the installation process, the extrusion plate is installed inside the positioning groove by the return spring and the mounting plate. During installation, the elastic force of the return spring can cause the extrusion plate to be pressed outward, thereby making the upper front beam body more firmly fixed.

A positioning groove 13 is opened at both ends of the upper front beam panel 4. A return spring 14 is installed inside the positioning groove 13. One end of the return spring 14 is connected to a compression plate 16.
[0028] Specifically, the top and sides of the support plate 7 are fixed to the upper front beam panel 4 and the upper front beam side plate 6 respectively by fixing bolts 8 and mounting bolts 10. The support plate 7 can increase the supporting load of the upper front beam body 3, thereby increasing the supporting force of the upper front beam body 3. The fixing bolts 8 are inserted into the threaded holes 9 and fixed to the inner wall of the box 1, thereby fixing the upper front beam body 3 to one side of the box 1. At the same time, during the installation process, the extrusion plate 16 is installed inside the positioning groove 13 by the return spring 14 and the mounting plate 15. During installation, the elastic force of the return spring 14 can make the extrusion plate 16 extrude outward, thereby making the upper front beam body 3 more firmly fixed.
[0029] In this embodiment, the upper front beam side plate 6 is internally threaded with fixing bolts 8.
[0030] Specifically, the upper front beam side plate 6 is installed inside the mounting groove 2 using fixing bolts 8.

[0041] In this embodiment, a fixing pin 20 is installed on one side of the first decorative cover 18.
[0042] Specifically, by inserting the fixing pin 20 at one end of the first decorative cover 18 into the mounting hole 17 on one side of the upper front beam panel 4, it is convenient for the user to install the first decorative cover 18 and the second decorative cover 19.
[0043] Working steps: First, fix the top and sides of the support plate 7 to the upper front beam panel 4 and the upper front beam side plate 6 respectively by fixing bolts 8 and mounting bolts 10. The support plate 7 can increase the support load of the upper front beam body 3, thereby increasing the support force of the upper front beam body 3.
[0044] Second, the upper front beam body 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the box body 1 by inserting the fixing bolt 8 into the threaded hole 9 and fixing it to the inner wall of the box body 1. At the same time, during the installation process, the extrusion plate 16 is installed inside the positioning groove 13 by the return spring 14 and the mounting plate 15. During installation, the extrusion plate 16 can be extruded outward by the elastic force of the return spring 14, so that the upper front beam body 3 is fixed more firmly.
[0045] Third, by inserting the fixing shaft 20 at one end of the first decorative cover 18 into the mounting hole 17 on one side of the upper front beam panel 4, the user can easily install the first decorative cover 18 and the second decorative cover 19. By installing the first decorative cover 18 and the second decorative cover 19, the installation gap between the upper front beam body 3 and the box body 1 can be covered.
