[0005] This application provides a refrigerator, which includes:

[0006] The box-like structure forms a storage compartment;

[0007] A door, connected to the box body, is used to open or close the storage compartment;

[0008] The press chamber cover is located at the rear of the storage room, and the rear opening of the press chamber cover is provided.

[0009] A compressor rear cover is provided on the rear opening of the compressor chamber cover and encloses the compressor chamber cover to form an installation space, in which a compressor is installed;

[0010] Wherein, the rear surface of the press chamber cover does not protrude from the rear surface of the housing, and the edge of the rear opening of the press chamber cover is constructed to form a forward-recessed mounting platform;

[0011] The press rear cover is fixed to the mounting platform by a fixing structure, and the rear ends of the press rear cover and the fixing structure do not protrude from the rear surface of the housing.

[0012] The refrigerator of this embodiment includes a compressor compartment cover and a compressor rear cover. The compressor compartment cover has a rear opening, and the compressor rear cover is disposed on the rear opening of the compressor compartment cover to form an installation space, in which a compressor is installed. The rear surface of the compressor compartment cover does not protrude from the rear surface of the refrigerator body, and the edge of the rear opening of the compressor compartment cover forms a forward-recessed mounting platform. The compressor rear cover is fixed to the mounting platform by a fixing mechanism, so that the rear ends of the compressor rear cover and the fixing mechanism do not protrude from the rear surface of the refrigerator body. This makes the refrigerator structure compact, which helps to reduce the external size of the refrigerator and reduce the installation space occupied by the refrigerator. Under the premise that the storage compartment volume remains unchanged, the external size of the refrigerator is reduced, which helps to improve the volume ratio of the refrigerator.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the press chamber cover includes: two press side plates, which are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the chamber;

[0014] The two press side plates are fixedly connected to the housing, and the rear sides of the two press side plates do not protrude from the rear surface of the housing;

[0015] The two press side plates are recessed forward on the side closest to each other to form the first recessed platform.

[0016] The mounting platform includes the first mounting platform section.

[0017] In this embodiment, the compressor compartment cover is formed by providing two compressor side plates, creating two side walls of the compressor compartment along the width direction X of the cabinet. The rear side of the compressor side plates does not protrude from the rear surface of the cabinet, thus avoiding any impact on the refrigerator's external dimensions. The two compressor side plates form a first recessed platform, causing the sides of the compressor rear cover to sink forward into the interior of the cabinet.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the press side plate includes: a side plate body, and the side plate bodies of the two press side plates are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the housing;

[0019] The rear ends of the two side plate bodies are bent away from each other and extend to form the first recessed portion;

[0020] The first recessed platform extends backward to form the first connecting portion;

[0021] The two first connecting portions bend and extend away from the side plate body to form a rear end plate portion; along the depth direction of the box body, the rear end plate portion is located behind the first recessed portion; the rear surface of the rear end plate portion does not protrude from the rear surface of the box body.

[0022] In this embodiment, the press side plate forms the side wall of the press chamber by setting a side plate body; and forms the left and right sides of the mounting platform by setting a first recessed platform.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the rear surface of the rear end plate is parallel to the rear surface of the housing, and the rear surface of the rear end plate is flush with the rear surface of the housing.

[0024] This design ensures that the rear panel does not protrude from the rear surface of the refrigerator body, avoids excessive forward placement of the rear panel which would affect storage space, and also helps to improve the flatness of the rear appearance of the refrigerator.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the press side plate further includes a first fixing part;

[0026] The first connecting portion bends forward and extends from the side opposite to the first recessed platform portion to form the first fixing portion;

[0027] The box body includes a box shell, the box shell includes box side plates spaced apart along the width direction of the box body; the rear sides of the two box side plates bend and extend toward each other to form a rear side edge; a second fixing part is provided on the front side of the rear side edge, and the second fixing part is connected to the first fixing part.

[0028] In this embodiment of the application, the press side plate is fixedly connected to the box side plate by providing a first fixing part, thereby realizing the connection between the press side plate and the box body. Furthermore, since the second fixing part is located on the front side of the rear side, the connection between the second fixing part and the first fixing part is located on the front side of the rear side, so that the connection between the press side plate and the box body is hidden inside the box body.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, the press chamber cover further includes: a press base plate; the press base plate is located at the bottom end of the press side plate and is fixedly connected to the housing;

[0030] The press base plate includes a base plate body and a second recessed platform. The rear end of the base plate body is bent upward to form the second recessed platform. The front side of the second recessed platform abuts against the bottom end of the rear side of the first recessed platform.

[0031] The mounting platform includes the second mounting platform section.

[0032] In this embodiment, a second recessed platform is formed on the rear side of the press base plate. The second recessed platform is fixedly connected to the press rear cover, so that the bottom of the press rear cover is recessed into the housing. The front side of the second recessed platform abuts against the bottom end of the rear side of the first recessed platform, which can serve as the assembly positioning between the press base plate and the press side plate, thereby improving the convenience of assembling the press base plate.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, an insertion portion is formed at the bottom end of the press rear cover, the insertion portion is located on the front side of the press rear cover, and the bottom side of the insertion portion is open;

[0037] The press top plate includes: a top plate body, which is located on top of the press side plate;

[0038] The rear end of the top plate body bends upward and extends to form a third recessed platform; along the depth direction of the box body, the third recessed platform is spaced from the rear surface of the box body;

[0039] The top of the third recessed platform bends backward and extends to form a second connecting part; the second connecting part is connected to the box body;

[0040] The mounting platform includes the third mounting platform section.

[0041] In this embodiment of the application, the press chamber cover is formed by setting a press top plate to create the top wall of the press chamber. Furthermore, the rear end of the press top plate body is bent upward to form a third recessed platform, so that the top of the press rear cover is recessed forward into the chamber.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the press top plate further includes: a third connecting portion;

[0043] The rear end of the second connecting part bends upward and extends to form the third connecting part; the third connecting part is in surface contact with the inner surface of the housing shell of the box.

[0044] The third connecting part makes surface contact with the inner surface of the back panel, improving the airtightness of the connection between the press top plate and the back panel, and reducing the possibility of material overflow during the foaming process to form the insulation layer. Furthermore, the third connecting part's location on the inner side of the cabinet helps improve the flatness and regularity of the refrigerator's appearance.

[0068] To make the objectives, implementation methods and advantages of this application clearer, the exemplary implementation methods of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the exemplary embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described exemplary embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0069] It should be noted that the brief descriptions of terms in this application are only for the convenience of understanding the embodiments described below, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. Unless otherwise stated, these terms should be understood in their ordinary and common meaning.

[0070] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover but not exclusively include, for example, a product or device that includes a series of components is not necessarily limited to those that are explicitly listed, but may include other components that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such product or device.

[0071] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0072] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0073] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0074] The volume ratio of a refrigerator refers to the ratio between its internal effective volume and its external volume, usually expressed as a percentage. The effective volume of a refrigerator refers to the actual usable space inside the refrigerator for storing food, directly affecting how much food a user can store. As people's living standards improve, their demands for refrigerator products are also increasing, especially regarding the space occupied and effective volume.

[0075] To increase the volume ratio of a refrigerator, one approach is to keep the effective internal volume constant while reducing the external volume; another approach is to keep the external volume constant while increasing the effective internal volume.

[0076] With increasing demands for efficient refrigerator installation, reducing the external volume of the refrigerator, while maintaining its internal effective volume, can not only improve its volumetric efficiency but also reduce the installation space required. Therefore, the researchers in this application investigated how to minimize the external volume of a refrigerator.

[0077] The refrigerator's exterior structure includes the cabinet and the door. The outer shell of the cabinet includes the cabinet shell and the compressor rear cover. The cabinet shell forms the main appearance of the cabinet, and the compressor rear cover is fixed to the bottom of the back panel of the cabinet shell to cover the compressor compartment.

[0078] The researchers of this application discovered that the press back cover and / or the fixing structure of the press back cover protrudes from the rear surface of the shell, making the refrigerator's appearance larger, which not only affects the space occupied by the refrigerator during installation, but also affects the refrigerator's volume ratio.

[0079] In view of this, the present application provides a refrigerator in which a forward-recessed mounting platform is formed on the rear side of the compressor compartment cover, and the compressor rear cover is fixed to the mounting platform so that the compressor rear cover is embedded in the cabinet body, thereby preventing the compressor rear cover and the fixing structure of the compressor rear cover from protruding from the rear surface of the cabinet body. This helps to reduce the external size of the refrigerator, which not only helps to reduce the installation space occupied by the refrigerator, but also increases the volume ratio of the refrigerator while keeping the effective space of the refrigerator unchanged.

[0080] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0081] Some embodiments of this application provide a refrigerator including a cabinet that can be configured to have a storage compartment for storing items. An access opening is formed on the front side of the storage compartment.

[0082] Multiple storage compartments can be provided to expand storage space. Depending on the storage temperature of the compartments, they can include at least one refrigerated compartment and at least one frozen compartment. The internal temperature of the refrigerated compartment can be maintained between approximately 0°C and 5°C for storing items in refrigerated mode; the internal temperature of the frozen compartment can be maintained between approximately -30°C and 0°C for storing items in frozen mode.

[0083] In some possible implementations, at least one of the storage compartments may also be configured as a vacuum chamber or a variable temperature chamber, etc., which will not be described in detail in the embodiments of this application.

[0084] For example, there may be two storage compartments, which may be stacked vertically or arranged side by side horizontally. One of them may be a refrigerator compartment and the other may be a freezer compartment.

[0085] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, the refrigerator body may include a liner and a shell 100. The liner may be configured to form a storage compartment with a front opening, which serves as an access port. The shell 100 may be attached to the outside of the liner to form part of the refrigerator's exterior. The refrigerator body may also include a heat insulation layer, which may be disposed between the liner and the shell 100. The heat insulation layer can insulate the storage compartment to minimize heat exchange between the storage compartment and the outside of the refrigerator, thus helping to ensure the refrigerator's cooling effect.

[0086] In some embodiments, the outer shell 100 may include a top plate 110 located on top of the inner liner. The outer shell 100 may also include two side plates 120 that are opposite to each other and spaced apart along the width direction X of the refrigerator, and the two side plates 120 are respectively connected to the top plate on both sides along the width direction Y of the refrigerator.

[0087] In some embodiments, the top panel 110 and the two side panels 120 are integrally formed as a single piece. For example, the two ends of a metal plate are bent to the same side to form a U-shaped structure, which can be called a U-shell. This arrangement helps to reduce the number of connection points of the shell 100, improve assembly efficiency, and also helps to improve the sealing of the shell 100.

[0088] The refrigerator shell 100 may also include a back panel 130, which is fixed to the rear side of the top panel and the two side panels 120. The back panel 130 is spaced apart from the refrigerator door along the depth direction Y of the refrigerator body. The back panel 130 can be a flat structure, which not only simplifies the structure of the back panel 130 but also facilitates processing and helps reduce processing costs. Moreover, the flat rear surface of the back panel 130 helps to provide a compact appearance for the refrigerator.

[0089] Of course, the cabinet 100 also needs to be equipped with a bottom plate, which is arranged at intervals with the top plate 110 along the height direction Z of the refrigerator. In this way, the top plate 110, the bottom plate, the two side plates 120, and the back plate 130 together form a mounting cavity with a front opening. The cabinet liner is installed in this mounting cavity.

[0090] The refrigerator in this embodiment may further include a door, which is rotatably connected to the cabinet body to open or close the access port. Exemplarily, the door is hinged to the cabinet body.

[0091] Each storage room can be equipped with one door; or, each storage room can be equipped with two doors, which can rotate in opposite directions to open or close the storage room.

[0092] The refrigerator in this embodiment may further include a refrigeration system for reducing the air temperature in the storage compartment. Exemplarily, the refrigeration system may be housed within the refrigerator body. The refrigeration system may include a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator connected in a cycle.

[0093] During refrigeration system operation, the compressor compresses refrigerant vapor, generating high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant vapor, and delivers it to the condenser. The condenser liquefies the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant vapor, generating high-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant liquid, which is then delivered to the expansion valve. The expansion valve reduces the pressure of the refrigerant liquid, transforming it from a high-pressure, low-temperature liquid into a low-pressure, low-temperature liquid, which is then delivered to the evaporator. The evaporator receives the low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant liquid and boils it under isobaric conditions, absorbing heat and vaporizing to form refrigerant vapor, thereby lowering the temperature inside the storage compartment.

[0094] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments of this application, a compressor compartment is formed on the rear side of the bottom of the housing for installing structures such as compressors and condensers. The bottom end of the housing back plate 130 is higher than the bottom end of the housing side plate 120, reserving installation space for the compressor compartment.

[0095] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The compressor compartment may include a compressor compartment cover 200, which is located on the rear side of the storage compartment and below the cabinet. This facilitates maintenance of the structure inside the compressor compartment cover 200 and also helps to lower the center of gravity of the refrigerator and improve its stability.

[0096] The press chamber cover 200 has a rear opening, which can be rectangular. The press chamber may also include a press rear cover 300, which covers the rear opening of the press chamber cover 200, facilitating the removal of the press rear cover 300 for maintenance of the internal structure of the press chamber.

[0097] The compressor rear cover 300 and the compressor compartment cover 200 enclose an installation space, in which the compressor, condenser, etc. are installed.

[0098] Ventilation holes are provided on the rear cover 300 of the compressor to allow the compressor chamber to communicate with the outside atmosphere, so as to allow gas flow and achieve heat exchange between the compressor chamber and the outside atmosphere.

[0099] In some embodiments of this application, the rear surface of the compressor compartment cover 200 does not protrude from the rear surface of the refrigerator body. The outer surface of the back panel 130 forms the rear surface of the refrigerator body. Exemplarily, the rear surface of the compressor compartment cover 200 may be flush with the rear surface of the refrigerator body, resulting in a flat rear appearance for the refrigerator.

[0100] In this embodiment, a forward-recessed mounting platform 400 is formed at the edge of the rear opening of the compressor chamber cover 200. The mounting platform 400 is spaced from the rear surface of the housing along the depth direction Y of the housing; and the mounting platform 400 is recessed forward relative to the rear surface of the housing.

[0101] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the application, the directional term "front" refers to the side along the Y-axis that points towards the refrigerator door, and the directional term "back" refers to the side along the Y-axis that is away from the refrigerator door.

[0102] In this embodiment of the application, the press rear cover 300 is fixed to the mounting platform 400 by a fixing structure, and the rear ends of the press rear cover 300 and the fixing structure do not protrude from the rear surface of the housing.

[0103] The fixing structure includes, but is not limited to, fasteners such as screws and bolts, and may include snap-fit ​​structures.

[0104] The rear end of the press rear cover 300 and the fixing structure does not protrude from the rear surface of the housing. This can be understood as the most protruding part of the rear side of the press rear cover 300 and the fixing structure not protruding from the rear surface of the housing.

[0105] For example, a rearwardly protruding reinforcing bump is formed on the press rear cover 300, and the reinforcing bump forms the most protruding position on the rear side of the press rear cover 300, but the reinforcing bump does not protrude from the rear surface of the housing.

[0106] For example, at least a portion of the fixing structure is exposed on the rear surface of the press rear cover 300, and the fixing structure does not protrude from the rear surface of the housing.

[0107] In some embodiments, the rear end of the press rear cover 300 and the fixing structure is flush with the rear surface of the housing. This arrangement ensures that the rear end of the press rear cover 300 and the fixing structure does not protrude from the rear surface of the housing, and also avoids excessive compression of the internal space of the press chamber, which could lead to interference between the press rear cover 300 and the internal structure of the press chamber.

[0108] The refrigerator of this embodiment includes a compressor compartment cover 200 and a compressor rear cover 300. The compressor compartment cover 200 has a rear opening, and the compressor rear cover 300 covers the rear opening to form an installation space, within which a compressor is installed. The rear surface of the compressor compartment cover 200 does not protrude from the rear surface of the refrigerator body, and the edge of the rear opening of the compressor compartment cover 200 forms a forward-recessed mounting platform 400. The compressor rear cover 300 is fixed to the mounting platform 400 by a fixing mechanism, ensuring that the rear end of the compressor rear cover 300 and the fixing mechanism do not protrude from the rear surface of the refrigerator body. This results in a compact refrigerator structure, which helps to reduce the refrigerator's external dimensions and thus reduce the installation space occupied by the refrigerator. Under the premise that the storage compartment volume remains unchanged, the refrigerator's external dimensions are reduced, which helps to improve the refrigerator's volume ratio.

[0109] In some embodiments of this application, the press chamber cover 200 includes two press side plates 210, which are arranged at intervals along the width direction X of the chamber.

[0110] The two press side panels 210 are fixedly connected to the cabinet body and the cabinet shell 100. The fixing methods include riveting and snap-fitting. The rear sides of the two press side panels 210 do not protrude from the rear surface of the cabinet body to avoid affecting the appearance and dimensions of the refrigerator.

[0111] The two press side plates 210 are recessed forward on the side closest to each other, forming a first recessed platform 212. This can be understood as the two press side plates 210 having the first recessed platform 212 on the side facing into the press chamber. The press rear cover 300 is connected to the two first recessed platforms 212 on both sides along the width direction of the housing.

[0112] The mounting platform 400 includes a first mounting platform portion 212. The press rear cover 300 and the first mounting platform portion 212 can be fixedly connected by fasteners such as screws, and the press rear cover 300 and the first mounting platform portion 212 can be snapped together or abutted together.

[0113] In this embodiment, the compressor compartment cover 200 forms two side walls along the width direction X of the refrigerator body by providing two compressor side plates 210. The rear side of the compressor side plates 210 does not protrude from the rear surface of the refrigerator body, thus avoiding affecting the appearance and dimensions of the refrigerator. The two compressor side plates 210 form a first recessed platform 212, causing the two sides of the compressor rear cover 300 to sink forward into the interior of the refrigerator body.

[0114] Combination Figures 3 to 5In some embodiments of this application, the press side plate 210 includes a side plate body 211, and the side plate bodies 211 of the two press side plates 210 are arranged at intervals along the width direction X of the housing. Exemplarily, the two side plate bodies 211 are flush with each other and are respectively located on both sides of the press chamber along the width direction of the housing.

[0115] The rear ends of the side plate bodies 211 of the two press side plates 210 are bent away from each other to form a first recessed platform 212. This can be understood as the rear ends of the side plate bodies 211 being bent away from the interior of the press chamber to form the first recessed platform 212. The first recessed platform 212 can be perpendicular to the side plate bodies 211, making it parallel to the rear surface of the housing, facilitating contact and fixed connection with the press rear cover 300.

[0116] The press side plate 210 also includes a first connecting portion 213, wherein the first recessed portion 212 bends rearward to form the first connecting portion 213. The first connecting portion 213 is located on the rear side of the first recessed portion 212 and at one end of the first recessed portion 212 opposite to the side plate body 211. The first connecting portion 213 may be perpendicular to the first recessed portion 212.

[0117] The press side plate 210 may further include a rear end plate 214. The first connecting portion 213 of the two press side plates 210 bends and extends away from the side plate body 211 to form the rear end plate 214. The first connecting portion 213 bends and extends away from the interior of the press chamber on the side away from the first recessed platform portion 212 to form the rear end plate 214. The rear end plate 214 may be parallel to the first recessed platform portion 212. Along the depth direction of the housing, the rear end plate 214 is located behind the first recessed platform portion 212; the rear surface of the rear end plate 214 does not protrude from the rear surface of the housing. The rear surface of the rear end plate 214 forms the rear surface of the press side plate 210 and also forms the rear surface of the press chamber cover 200. It can be understood that the press chamber cover 200 is located in front of the extended plane of the rear surface of the rear end plate 214.

[0118] In this embodiment, the press side plate 210 forms the side wall of the press chamber by providing a side plate body 211; and forms the left and right sides of the mounting platform 400 by providing a first recessed platform portion 212. By providing a first connecting portion 213 and a rear end plate portion 214, a gap is provided between the side plate body 211 and the box side plate 120, which facilitates the installation of a box insulation layer to improve the heat insulation performance of the box.

[0119] In some possible implementations, the rear surface of the rear end plate 214 is parallel to the rear surface of the housing, and the rear surface of the rear end plate 214 is flush with the rear surface of the housing.

[0120] This design helps to improve the smoothness of the back of the refrigerator.

[0121] Continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The press side plate 210 also includes a first fixing part 215. The first connecting part 213 bends forward and extends from the side opposite to the first recessed platform part 212 to form the first fixing part 215.
