Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of freezer design, and more specifically relates to a freezer with a central column and an anti-condensation pipe. Background Technology

[0002] A freezer is a device for preserving food and other items at low temperatures. It typically consists of a cabinet, a refrigeration system, and an electrical system, and is commonly used in restaurants, bars, food processing plants, and supermarkets. However, the temperature in the central column area of ​​current freezers is relatively low, and there is a large amount of water vapor in the air. When this water vapor approaches the low-temperature glass, it condenses into water droplets, causing a condensation phenomenon. Furthermore, as the ambient humidity increases and the temperature difference between the inside and outside becomes significant, the condensation becomes even more severe, seriously affecting the user experience. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a freezer that can solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] The following disclosure provides many different implementation methods or examples for different solutions to implement this utility model.

[0030] See attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown, a refrigerator with a central column and an anti-condensation pipe includes a cabinet body 1, a cabinet door assembly 2 hinged to the cabinet body 1, a central column assembly 3, a mounting part for fixing the central column assembly, and a storage assembly 5.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, a first opening is provided on one side of the cabinet 1, and the central column assembly 3 is vertically downward at the first opening. The central column assembly 3 includes a central column inner plate 31, an anti-condensation pipe 32 and an outer protective plate 33 arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside. A cavity for installing the anti-condensation pipe 32 is provided between the outer protective plate 33 and the central column inner plate 31. A through hole 331 is provided on the bottom surface of the outer protective plate 33 for the anti-condensation pipe 32 to pass through. After one end of the anti-condensation pipe 32 passes through the through hole 331, it meanders around in the cavity and then passes out through the through hole 331 again.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, the anti-condensation pipe 32 is attached to the bottom surface of the inner plate 31 of the middle column, and the outer protective plate 33 covers the back of the inner plate 31 of the middle column. Therefore, the cavity has space foam insulation. When the refrigerator compressor delivers high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant through the anti-condensation pipe 32, the outer protective plate 33 generates heat. The heat quickly neutralizes the cold air overflowing from the refrigerator, so the middle column will not produce condensation due to the collision between the cold air inside the refrigerator and the external hot air, further improving the user experience.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inner plate 31 of the central column is provided with installation gaps 311 on both sides, the outer protective plate 33 is provided with first side blocks 332 that can be inserted into the installation gaps 311 on both sides, the inner plate 31 of the central column is provided with second openings at the upper and lower ends, and the outer protective plate 33 is provided with second side blocks 333 for closing the corresponding second openings at the upper and lower ends, so that the cavity can have a certain space for foaming and heat preservation.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, the width of the first side baffle 332 is set to be less than or equal to the depth of the installation gap 311, so as to ensure that both sides of the outer protective plate 33 are fully inserted into the corresponding installation gap 311 and closer to the anti-condensation pipe 32, so that the outer protective plate 33 can quickly neutralize the cold air overflowing from the freezer after generating heat.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, the size of the second side baffle 333 is greater than or equal to the size of the second opening, so that after the outer protective plate 33 and the inner plate 31 of the middle column are installed in correspondence, a relatively sealed cavity space is formed inside for foam insulation. When the refrigerator compressor delivers high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant through the anti-condensation pipe 32, the heat from the outer protective plate 33 quickly neutralizes the cold air overflowing from the refrigerator.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting part includes a first connecting member 41 respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the inner plate 31 of the central column and two sets of fastening devices 42 provided on the side of the inner plate 31 of the central column away from the outer protective plate 33. The fastening device 42 includes two second connecting members 43 respectively fixedly connected to the inner plate 31 of the central column, and the two second connecting members 43 are arranged vertically downward.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, each second connector 43 is provided with two third connectors 44 on the side away from the inner plate 31 of the central column for fixed connection with the shelf 51. One side of the third connector 44 is screwed to the back of the inner plate 31 of the central column, and the other side of the third connector 44 can be snapped or welded to the edge of the hollow shelf 51 so as to make the connection between the shelf 51 and the central column of the refrigerator stable.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, the storage component 5 includes two storage panels 51 spaced apart inside the cabinet 1. The storage panels 51 are hollowed out, and each storage panel 51 has a mounting member 52 at each of its four corners that can be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 1. The upper surface of the mounting member 52 has a platform for placing the storage panel 51 and a protrusion that limits the displacement of the storage panel 51. Adjacent storage panels 51 are arranged in parallel to facilitate the placement of items by the user. The bottom surface of each storage panel 51 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs spaced apart to further enhance the load-bearing capacity of the storage panel 51.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cabinet door assembly 2 includes a first cabinet door 21 and a second cabinet door 22 that are respectively hinged to both sides of the first opening, and a sealing strip 23 that is respectively provided between the cabinet body 1 and the first cabinet door 21 and the second cabinet door 22. The first cabinet door 21 and the second cabinet door 22 are respectively provided with handles 24 for easy opening.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
