They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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 utility model.
[0027] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intervening element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.
[0028] An embodiment of this utility model provides a sofa refrigerator with good heat dissipation, such as... Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes:
[0029] The refrigerator body 100 includes a first inner cavity 142 and a second inner cavity 143. The first inner cavity 142 includes a horizontal portion 144 and a vertical portion 145. The horizontal portion 144 is located below the second inner cavity 143, and the vertical portion 145 is located at the front end of the second inner cavity 143. The horizontal portion 144 is provided with a compressor 150 for compressing refrigerant and a condenser 160 for exchanging heat with air. The rear end of the horizontal portion 144 is provided with an air outlet, and the front end and both sides of the vertical portion 145 are provided with air inlets.
[0030] The refrigerator inner liner 200 is located inside the second inner cavity 143.
[0031] The refrigerator body 100 is divided into a first inner cavity 142 and a second inner cavity 143. In some embodiments, they can be separated by a partition plate 141. This separation method can separate the refrigerator components (such as the compressor 150 and the condenser 160) from the refrigerator liner 200, so as to avoid the condenser 160 and other components from interfering with the cooling effect of the refrigerator liner 200. It is also beneficial to the layout of heat dissipation components.
[0032] The first inner cavity 142 includes a horizontal section 144 and a vertical section 145. The horizontal section 144 provides sufficient space for components such as the compressor 150 and the condenser 160. Air inlets are located at the front and sides of the vertical section 145, and air outlets are located at the rear of the horizontal section 144. The vertical section allows for a large area of cold air to enter. This layout facilitates good airflow circulation, allowing cold air to enter through the air inlets, pass through components such as the condenser 160, and exit through the air outlets, carrying away heat and improving heat dissipation. By rationally setting the positions of the air inlets and outlets, airflow circulation can be effectively promoted, enabling the heat generated by components such as the compressor 150 and the condenser 160 to dissipate in a timely manner, thereby improving heat dissipation performance, ensuring the normal operation of the refrigerator, and extending its service life.
[0033] Air inlets are located at the front end and on both sides of the vertical section 145. This design increases the angle and direction of airflow introduction, allowing cold air to enter the first inner cavity 142 from multiple directions, further improving heat dissipation. Simultaneously, this design ensures that cold air enters the first inner cavity 142 evenly, avoiding insufficient or excessive airflow in certain areas, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire heat dissipation system. This design can significantly improve heat dissipation performance and extend the refrigerator's lifespan. The multi-directional airflow introduction also reduces eddies and dead zones within the first inner cavity 142, allowing airflow to pass more smoothly through the heat dissipation components, further enhancing the heat dissipation effect.
[0034] In some embodiments, the refrigerator body 100 includes a housing, the housing including an air inlet 110 and a connecting part 120 for connecting with a sofa, and the air inlet is disposed at the air inlet 110.
[0035] The air inlet 110 has several first ventilation holes 111, which are directly connected to the first inner cavity 142 for introducing external air. This design ensures sufficient cold air supply to components such as the condenser 160, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. The rear end of the connecting part 120 has several second ventilation holes 121, which are also connected to the first inner cavity 142 for expelling hot air. The design of the connecting part 120 allows the refrigerator to better integrate with the sofa, while simultaneously expelling heat behind the sofa through the second ventilation holes 121, preventing heat accumulation near the sofa. Airflow enters the first inner cavity 142 from the first ventilation holes 111, passes through components such as the condenser 160, and is then discharged from the second ventilation holes 121. This design forms a clear airflow circulation path, ensuring that heat is effectively carried away. By providing ventilation holes in the air inlet 110 and the connecting part 120 respectively, this design further optimizes airflow circulation and improves heat dissipation. The number and position of the first ventilation holes 111 and the second ventilation holes 121 can be adjusted according to actual needs to achieve optimal heat dissipation. This design also reduces the impact of heat on the sofa, as hot air is exhausted to the rear of the sofa through the second ventilation hole 121 instead of being directly dissipated onto the sofa surface, thus improving user comfort. The design of the connecting part 120 allows the refrigerator to integrate better with the sofa, not only functionally combining the sofa armrest 300 with the refrigerator liner 200, but also structurally ensuring a stable connection between the two. This design enhances the overall integrity and aesthetics of the product.
[0036] In some embodiments, a dust screen or filter can be provided at the ventilation hole to prevent dust from entering the first inner cavity 142 and affecting the performance and lifespan of the heat dissipation component.
[0037] In some embodiments, an airflow guiding device, such as a deflector or a guide channel, is provided in the first inner cavity 142 to further optimize the airflow direction. These devices can guide cold air to flow more effectively through components such as the condenser 160, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0038] Furthermore, the opening of the refrigerator liner 200 is located on the upper surface of the refrigerator body 100. A sofa refrigerator with good heat dissipation also includes a sofa armrest 300, which can be flipped relative to the refrigerator body 100 to open or close the refrigerator liner 200.
[0039] The sofa armrest 300 can be flipped relative to the refrigerator body 100 to open or close the refrigerator liner 200. This design cleverly combines the functions of a sofa and a refrigerator, saving space and providing convenience. Users can easily open or close the refrigerator liner 200 and access items such as drinks while resting on the sofa. To improve the stability and lifespan of the sofa armrest 300, high-strength connectors can be used to connect the armrest 300 to the refrigerator body 100, with cushioning devices at the connection points to reduce the impact during flipping. For example, metal hinges with rubber pads can be used as connectors, providing cushioning and shock absorption. Anti-slip pads or textures can be added to the inside of the sofa armrest 300 to prevent users from slipping when opening or closing the refrigerator liner 200, improving safety. This design, combining the refrigerator with the sofa armrest 300, makes full use of the sofa space and avoids the problem of traditional refrigerators occupying too much independent space, making it suitable for use in living environments with limited space.
[0040] In some embodiments, the compressor 150 and the condenser 160 are disposed at the bottom of the first inner cavity 142.
[0041] By placing the compressor 150 and condenser 160 at the bottom of the first inner cavity 142, the space at the bottom of the refrigerator can be fully utilized, avoiding the occupation of the upper space of the refrigerator body 100, thus providing more space for the refrigerator liner 200 and other components. The bottom layout lowers the refrigerator's center of gravity, improving its stability. This is especially important for sofa refrigerators, as they are typically used in conjunction with sofas, and a stable structure ensures safety during use. Since the first ventilation holes 111 are located at the front end and sides of the air inlet 110, cold air can directly enter the first inner cavity 142 from the bottom, first contacting the compressor 150 and condenser 160. This design ensures that the cold air cools the heat dissipation components first, improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0042] In some embodiments, a wireless charging device 170 is provided at the top of the vertical portion 145.
[0043] The wireless charging device 170 is conveniently located at the top of the vertical section 145. Users can easily place their devices on the wireless charging device 170 for charging while relaxing on the sofa, and also easily access the devices. This design makes full use of the space on the upper surface of the refrigerator body 100, avoiding additional space occupation on the table or other surfaces, making the product more compact and aesthetically pleasing. While the wireless charging device 170 generates some heat during operation, its location at the top of the vertical section 145 and the excellent airflow design of the first inner cavity 142 effectively dissipate this heat, preventing any adverse effects on the wireless charging device 170 and the internal components of the refrigerator.
[0044] In some embodiments, a USB charging device 180 is provided at the top of the vertical portion 145.
[0045] The USB charging device 180 can provide charging functionality for various USB-enabled devices (such as smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, Bluetooth headsets, etc.). The USB charging device 180 is conveniently located on the top surface of the refrigerator body 100. Users can easily connect their devices to the USB charging port for charging while relaxing on the sofa, and also conveniently access the devices.
[0046] In some embodiments, the sofa armrest 300 is provided with a flipping component 400, and the upper surface of the refrigerator body 100 is provided with a plug-in groove 130 for the flipping component 400 to be plugged in. The plug-in groove 130 can fix the flipping component 400 so that the sofa armrest 300 can be flipped relative to the refrigerator body 100.
[0047] A flip-up component 400 is mounted on the sofa armrest 300 to enable the flip-up function of the sofa armrest 300. A connector slot 130 is located on the upper surface of the refrigerator body 100 and is used to engage with the flip-up component 400. The design of the connector slot 130 securely fixes the flip-up component 400, ensuring that the armrest will not loosen or fall off during the flipping process. Through the engagement of the flip-up component 400 and the connector slot 130, the sofa armrest 300 can easily open or close the refrigerator inner liner 200. This design not only facilitates user operation but also improves the overall integrity and aesthetics of the product.
[0048] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism of the flipping assembly 400 can be designed to automatically lock and unlock, for example, using a spring locking mechanism or an electromagnetic locking mechanism. When the user presses the lock button, the handrail can automatically unlock and flip; when the handrail is flipped into place, the locking mechanism automatically locks to ensure the stability of the handrail.
[0049] Furthermore, the side wall of the insertion slot 130 is provided with a slot 131, and the flipping assembly 400 includes an insertion part 410 that cooperates with the insertion slot 130, and the insertion part 410 is provided with a buckle 411 that cooperates with the slot 131.
[0050] A slot 131 is provided on the side wall of the insertion slot 130 for securing the insertion portion 410 of the flip assembly 400. The shape and size of the slot 131 match the buckle 411 to ensure a tight fit. The buckle 411 is provided on the insertion portion 410 of the flip assembly 400 for engaging with the slot 131. The buckle 411 is designed to have a certain degree of flexibility so that it can pass smoothly through the slot 131 during insertion and removal, and be securely fixed within the slot 131 after insertion. Through the engagement of the slot 131 and the buckle 411, the flip assembly 400 can be securely fixed within the insertion slot 130, ensuring that the sofa armrest 300 will not loosen or fall off during use. This design not only improves product reliability but also enhances the user experience.
[0051] Furthermore, the flip assembly 400 also includes a rotating bracket 420 and a rotating component 430 disposed on the sofa armrest 300. One end of the rotating bracket 420 is disposed on the insertion part 410, and the other end of the rotating bracket 420 is bent toward the rear end of the refrigerator body 100. The rotating component 430 includes a fixed shaft 431 and a rotating shaft 432 sleeved on the outside of the fixed shaft 431 and rotatably connected thereto. The rotating shaft 432 is connected to the sofa armrest 300, and the fixed shaft 431 is connected to the end of the rotating bracket 420 bent toward the rear end of the refrigerator body 100.
[0052] One end of the rotating bracket 420 is mounted on the insertion part 410, and the other end bends towards the rear end of the refrigerator body 100. This design allows the sofa armrest 300 to be tilted towards the rear end of the refrigerator body 100 after flipping, reducing the impact of the sofa armrest 300 on the opening of the refrigerator liner 200, making it easier for users to remove items from the refrigerator liner 200. At the same time, the rotating bracket 420 provides sufficient support to ensure that the sofa armrest 300 remains stable during flipping. The rotating assembly 430 includes a fixed shaft 431 and a rotating shaft 432. The fixed shaft 431 is connected to the rotating bracket 420, providing stable support; the rotating shaft 432 is sleeved on the outside of the fixed shaft 431 and rotatably connected to it, allowing the sofa armrest 300 to flexibly flip around the rotating shaft 432. The rotating shaft 432 is connected to the sofa armrest 300, and the fixed shaft 431 is connected to the end of the rotating bracket 420 that bends towards the rear end of the refrigerator body 100.
[0053] The principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the sofa armrest 300 flips, the rotation axis 432 of the sofa armrest 300 is offset towards the rear end of the refrigerator body 100 due to the rotation bracket 420. This means that when the sofa armrest 300 flips, its pivot point is not located at the center of the sofa armrest 300, but closer to the rear of the refrigerator body 100. During the flipping process, the sofa armrest 300 will rotate along this offset axis, allowing it to move away from the refrigerator liner 200 after flipping. This principle is similar to the eccentric hinge of a folding door. The center of the eccentric hinge is not located at the center of the door, but offset by a certain distance. When the door folds or unfolds, the eccentric hinge guides the door to move along a specific trajectory, thereby achieving a compact folding effect.
[0054] Furthermore, the sofa armrest 300 is provided with a clearance groove 310 for avoiding the rotation bracket 420.
[0055] The main function of the clearance groove 310 is to provide a space for the rotating bracket 420 so that the sofa armrest 300 will not interfere with the rotating bracket 420 during the flipping process.
[0056] The terms and words used in the foregoing description and claims are not limited to their literal meaning, but are merely used by the applicant to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the present invention. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that the foregoing description of various embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and not intended to limit the present invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
