Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator technology, specifically to a refrigerator air duct cover. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, their requirements for refrigerator preservation and food hygiene are becoming increasingly stringent. The refrigerator air duct cover, as a key component for internal air circulation, plays a crucial role in guiding airflow and protecting the air duct.
[0003] According to patent document CN213480704U, a refrigerator duct cover is disclosed, comprising a main body, an outer shell fixedly attached to the surface of the main body, and mounting bolts at the four corners of the outer shell. Each mounting bolt includes a circular plate, a recess, a pull ring, a pressure plate, a spring, a support column, a fixing block, and a central shaft. A recess is formed at the center of the circular plate, and a pull ring is located within the recess. The central shaft is mounted on the transverse axis of the pull ring, allowing the pull ring to move around the central shaft. The bottom of the central shaft is connected to the support column. In this refrigerator duct cover, the circular plate and pressure plate are parallel and have the same diameter, facilitating retraction within a corresponding range during disassembly and preventing excessive spring force that could damage the mounting bolts. Sealing rings are provided on the four perimeters of the main body to increase sealing and improve the sealing effect. The positions of the locking columns match the mounting holes at the four corners of the refrigerator body, accurately aligning the cover position for a more complete and sealed seal, improving aesthetics.
[0004] Existing refrigerator duct covers have significant flaws in their dustproof design. Traditional duct covers mostly use an open structure, achieving ventilation only through simple mesh or holes. The pore size is relatively large, making it unable to effectively intercept dust particles in the air. During refrigerator operation, dust carried by the outside air can easily enter the refrigerator through the duct cover, potentially causing damage to internal components. Utility Model Content
