Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to a humidity control structure for an air-cooled refrigerator, which belongs to the field of household appliance technology. Background technology:

[0002] Most refrigerators currently on the market are frost-free. Customers adjust the humidity inside the crisper drawer according to the type of fruits and vegetables they store, necessitating a humidity-regulating structure. In frost-free refrigerators, a crisper drawer cover is installed above the crisper drawer. Existing humidity-regulating structures are installed on the side of this cover closer to the refrigerator door. When heavy objects are placed on the cover, significant deformation occurs, affecting the drawer's ability to be pulled out. Current technology often addresses this by increasing the gap between the cover and the crisper drawer itself; however, a larger gap can compromise the crisper drawer's internal humidity control.

[0003] Therefore, it is indeed necessary to improve existing technologies to address their shortcomings. Utility Model Content:

[0004] This invention provides a humidity control structure for air-cooled refrigerators to solve the problems existing in the prior art. It is easy to install and not easily deformed.

[0005] This utility model adopts the following technical solution: a humidity regulating structure for a frost-free refrigerator, which is installed on the side wall of the fruit and vegetable drawer near the refrigerator door, including a paddle fixing component and a paddle installed together with the paddle fixing component. The paddle is located on the outer side wall of the fruit and vegetable drawer, and the paddle fixing component is located on the inner side wall of the fruit and vegetable drawer and fixed together with the paddle. The paddle has a plurality of spaced-apart paddle holes, and the fruit and vegetable drawer has a plurality of spaced-apart first through holes. The paddle holes and the first through holes are connected by adjusting the relative positions of the paddle holes and the first through holes.

[0006] Furthermore, the surface of the paddle facing the fruit and vegetable box has raised paddle latches and paddle slots spaced apart vertically.

[0007] Furthermore, the paddle hole is located between the paddle latch and the paddle slot, which are spaced apart vertically.

[0008] Furthermore, the fruit and vegetable box has a second through hole for accommodating the paddle clip and the paddle slot.

[0009] Furthermore, a paddle fixing groove is formed on the paddle fixing member at the position opposite to the paddle buckle, and a paddle fixing buckle is formed on the paddle fixing member at the position opposite to the paddle buckle groove.

[0010] Furthermore, after the paddle latch and the paddle fixing slot are installed together, and after the paddle slot and the paddle fixing latch are installed together, they can slide left and right in the second through hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the paddle includes a first paddle and a second paddle with the same structure, and both the first paddle and the second paddle have a plurality of spaced-apart paddle holes.

[0012] Furthermore, the size and shape of the paddle hole and the first through hole are consistent.

[0013] The present invention has the following advantages: the present invention moves the humidity regulating structure to the fruit and vegetable box, the fruit and vegetable box cover can be fully strengthened to increase the load-bearing capacity, and at the same time, its installation method is simple and easy to operate. Attached image description:

[0019] To further understand the contents of this utility model, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0020] This utility model relates to a humidity control structure for a frost-free refrigerator. It is installed on the side wall of the fruit and vegetable drawer 1 near the refrigerator door and includes a lever fixing member 3 and a lever 4 installed together with the lever fixing member 3. The lever 4 is located on the outer side wall of the fruit and vegetable drawer 1 and includes a first lever 40 and a second lever 41 with identical structures. Both the first lever 40 and the second lever 41 have several spaced-apart lever holes 43. On the surface of the first lever 40 and the second lever 41 facing the fruit and vegetable drawer 1, both have protruding lever latches 44 and lever slots 45 spaced apart vertically. The lever holes 43 are located between the spaced-apart lever latches 44 and lever slots 45.

[0021] The fruit and vegetable box 1 has a first through hole 10 that matches the size and shape of the paddle hole 43 and a second through hole 11 for receiving the paddle buckle 44 and the paddle slot 45.

[0022] The paddle fastener 3 is located on the inner side wall of the fruit and vegetable box 1. A paddle fastener groove 30 is formed on the paddle fastener 3 at the position opposite to the paddle buckle 44, and a paddle fastener buckle 31 is formed on the paddle fastener 3 at the position opposite to the paddle buckle groove 45.

[0023] After the paddle clip 44 and the paddle fixing slot 30 are installed together, and after the paddle slot 45 and the paddle fixing clip 31 are installed together, they can slide left and right in the second through hole 11, so that the paddle hole 43 and the first through hole 10 can be connected.

[0024] This utility model is used for a humidity control structure in a frost-free refrigerator. The working principle is as follows: When it is necessary to adjust the humidity inside the fruit and vegetable box 1, the humidity control structure is adjusted by sliding left and right along the second through hole 11. The humidity control structure changes the airflow inside the fruit and vegetable box 1 by whether or not it blocks the second through hole 11, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the humidity inside the fruit and vegetable box 1.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
