Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of freezer technology, and in particular relates to a water baffle strip for the inner liner of a freezer and a freezer including the same. Background Technology

[0002] Smart refrigerators are widely welcomed by merchants in convenience stores, community supermarkets, and other similar settings due to their unmanned vending capabilities. To help merchants or users understand the remaining quantity of goods, a gravity sensor is installed at the bottom of the smart refrigerator to automatically monitor changes in the weight of items inside and update inventory data in real time. Simultaneously, to achieve product recognition and consumer behavior monitoring, smart refrigerators typically have a camera installed above the opening; some also have light strips for nighttime product identification.

[0003] When the freezer door is opened and closed, condensation easily forms on the door and the edge of the freezer opening due to the contact between the hot and humid air outside and the low-temperature surface inside the freezer. There is usually a gap between the inner liner and the basket of the freezer, and some of the condensation will flow down the inner liner wall and freeze, affecting the accuracy of gravity measurement. Although the heat generated by the camera and light strip can evaporate and eliminate some of the condensation, the effect is not significant.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problem of condensation flowing down the inner wall of the tank and freezing, affecting gravity measurement, is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a water-blocking strip for the inner liner of a freezer and a freezer including the strip. By setting the water-blocking strip on the upper part of the front and side walls of the inner liner and using its downwardly curved guide portion to guide the condensation into the basket, the condensation is effectively prevented from flowing down the inner liner wall and freezing.

[0006] This utility model provides a water-blocking strip for the inner liner of a freezer. The inner liner of the freezer has a basket, and there is a gap between the inner liner and the basket. The water-blocking strip is installed on the upper part of the front wall and the side wall of the inner liner. The water-blocking strip on the front wall of the inner liner is the same length as the front wall of the inner liner, and the length of the water-blocking strip on the side wall of the inner liner is greater than the width of the openable door. The water-blocking strip has a downward curved guide part, and the horizontal width of the guide part is greater than the width of the gap, which is used to guide the condensation into the basket of the inner liner, while preventing foreign objects from falling into the gap.

[0007] This technical solution involves installing water-blocking strips on the upper part of the front and side walls of the inner tank, and using their downward-curving guides to direct condensation into the basket, effectively preventing condensation from flowing down the inner tank wall and freezing.

[0008] In some embodiments, the water-blocking strip has a connecting portion at the bend between the front wall and the side wall of the inner tank, and the connecting portion fits the shape of the bend.

This technical solution facilitates the installation of the water-blocking strip without affecting its overall flow guide function.

[0010] In some embodiments, the mounting portion has mounting holes. This technical solution facilitates the positioning and fixing of the mounting portion, thereby improving the installation efficiency and structural stability of the water-blocking strip.

[0011] In some embodiments, bolts for securing the mounting portion are inserted into the mounting holes. This technical solution ensures a secure connection between the mounting portion and the inner liner wall, preventing the water baffle from loosening due to refrigerator vibration.

[0012] In some embodiments, a support portion for reinforcing the structure is provided between the mounting portion and the guide portion, with both ends of the support portion fixedly connected to the mounting portion and the guide portion, respectively. This technical solution can enhance the overall strength of the water-blocking strip and prevent the guide portion from deforming due to external forces.
