Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of home appliance technology, and more particularly to a refrigerator. Background Technology
[0002] As a widely used refrigeration device in household appliances, the structural design of the refrigerator's cabinet directly affects the product's performance and user experience.
[0003] Traditional refrigerators typically consist of an outer shell (an outer metal or plastic structure) and an inner liner (an inner insulating material), with the opening side of the inner liner forming the front of the refrigerator. Over time, condensation can easily form on the front of the refrigerator's outer shell (i.e., the opening side of the inner liner), severely impacting the product's reliability, aesthetics, and user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application discloses an air conditioner indoor unit and a refrigerator, which can reduce the risk of condensation on the front of the outer casing, thereby improving the customer experience.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses a refrigerator, comprising:
[0006] The enclosure has a front side;
[0007] A compressor, wherein the compressor is disposed within the housing;
[0008] A condenser, which is disposed inside the housing and connected to the compressor;
[0009] The enclosure includes:
[0010] A housing, the housing including a front side;
[0011] The inner liner is disposed inside the outer shell of the box, and the inner liner forms a storage compartment. The opening edge of the inner liner is provided with an installation groove, and the front side covers the installation groove.
[0012] A decondensation pipe is installed in the mounting groove, with one end connected to the air outlet of the compressor and the other end connected to the air inlet of the condenser.
[0013] The inner liner of the box includes:
[0014] A support protrusion is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove, and the support protrusion is used to support part of the decondensation pipe.
[0015] A support protrusion is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove to support part of the decondensation pipe. This elevates part of the decondensation pipe, bringing it closer to the front of the outer casing. This improves the heat exchange between the decondensation pipe and the front of the outer casing, thereby increasing the temperature of the outer casing near the decondensation pipe and reducing the risk of condensation on the front of the outer casing. This enhances the user experience.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the support protrusions include a plurality of protrusions, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the mounting groove.
[0017] Since multiple support protrusions are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting groove, on the one hand, the contact area between the support protrusions and the decondensation pipe can be increased, thereby improving the support effect of the support protrusions on the decondensation pipe. On the other hand, it can ensure that the decondensation pipe is as close as possible to the front of the refrigerator shell, thereby improving the anti-condensation effect of the refrigerator shell.
[0018] In one possible implementation, the distance between any two adjacent support protrusions is d, where 30mm ≤ d ≤ 50mm.
[0019] In this way, the contact area between the support protrusion and the decondensation pipe can be guaranteed, which meets the purpose of preventing condensation on the front of the enclosure, and the reliability of the decondensation pipe installation can also be guaranteed.
[0020] In one possible implementation, the support protrusion is a strip-shaped structure, and the length direction of the support protrusion forms an angle with the extension direction of the mounting groove.
[0021] By making the length direction of the support protrusion form an angle with the extension direction of the mounting groove, the contact area between the support protrusion and the decondensation pipe can be increased, ensuring the support effect of the support protrusion on the decondensation pipe. On the other hand, it can facilitate the venting during foaming and reduce the risk of foam leakage.
[0022] In one possible implementation, the cross-section of the support protrusion is U-shaped or semi-circular, and the cross-section of the support protrusion is perpendicular to the length direction of the support protrusion.
[0023] Therefore, by making the cross-section of the support protrusion U-shaped or semi-circular, it is possible to ensure the support effect of the support protrusion on the decondensation pipe, and at the same time, ensure the air permeability of the installation groove during foaming, thereby avoiding the occurrence of foam leakage in the installation groove.
[0024] In one possible implementation, the mounting groove surrounds the opening edge of the inner liner of the box.
[0025] By having the mounting groove surround the opening edge of the inner liner, it facilitates the installation of the decondensation pipe and improves the air permeability of the mounting groove.
[0026] In one possible implementation, the opening of the inner liner is quadrilateral, and the edge of the opening of the inner liner includes a first corner.
[0027] The mounting groove includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first sidewall is located away from the opening relative to the second sidewall. An avoidance notch is provided on the first sidewall, and the avoidance notch is located at the first corner.
[0028] Since the decondensation pipe is installed in the mounting groove and both ends of the decondensation pipe extend out of the mounting groove, an avoidance notch is provided on the first side wall to prevent the decondensation pipe from protruding from the opening edge of the inner liner, thus ensuring the flatness of the front of the outer shell and the compactness of the refrigerator structure.
[0029] In addition, since the first corner is close to the side wall of the box, in order to avoid the decondensation pipe from winding too much around the opening edge of the inner liner, the clearance is located at the first corner, which is conducive to the installation of the decondensation pipe.
[0030] In one possible implementation, the opening edge of the inner liner of the box further includes a second corner, a third corner, and a fourth corner, and the bottom of the mounting groove at the second corner, the third corner, and / or the fourth corner is provided with a clearance recess.
[0031] Based on this, the bottom of the mounting groove at the second, third, and / or fourth corner is provided with a clearance recess, which can pre-position the first and / or second front beams during installation, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the first and / or second front beams and thus improving the assembly efficiency of the refrigerator.
[0032] In one possible implementation, the inner liner of the box includes:
[0033] Refrigerated inner liner;
[0034] A freezing inner liner is provided below the refrigeration inner liner, and the decondensation pipe is arranged sequentially around the opening edge of the freezing inner liner and the opening edge of the refrigeration inner liner.
[0035] Because the decondensation pipes are arranged sequentially around the opening edges of the freezer inner liner and the refrigerator inner liner, the decondensation pipes can exchange heat with the opening edges of the refrigerator inner liner and the freezer inner liner, thereby improving the anti-condensation effect on the front of the outer shell.
[0036] In one possible implementation, there is a gap between the refrigerated inner liner and the frozen inner liner, and the defrosting pipe located within the gap is recessed and bent toward the storage compartment.
[0037] Due to the installation of other fasteners on the middle front beam and front, some structures will extend into the gap between the refrigerator inner liner and the freezer inner liner. In order to ensure the accuracy of the installation of the above components, the decondensation pipe located in the gap is bent inward toward the storage compartment to avoid the component structure extending into the gap between the refrigerator inner liner and the freezer inner liner.
[0038] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0039] In this application, a support protrusion is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove. The support protrusion is used to support part of the decondensation pipe, which can raise part of the decondensation pipe and make it closer to the front of the outer shell. This makes the decondensation pipe closer to the outer shell, thereby improving the heat exchange effect between the decondensation pipe and the front of the outer shell, thereby increasing the temperature of the outer shell near the decondensation pipe, reducing the risk of condensation on the front of the outer shell, and thus improving the user experience.

[0062] Before explaining the technical solution of this application, the background technology of this application shall be explained first.
[0063] As a widely used refrigeration device in household appliances, the structural design of the refrigerator's cabinet directly affects the product's performance and user experience.
[0064] Traditional refrigerators typically consist of an outer shell (an outer metal or plastic structure) and an inner liner (an inner insulating material), with the opening side of the inner liner forming the front of the refrigerator. During long-term use, condensation easily occurs on the front of the refrigerator's outer shell (i.e., the opening side of the inner liner), severely affecting the product's reliability, aesthetics, and user experience. Therefore, this application provides a refrigerator to solve the aforementioned problems.
[0065] The technical solution of this application will be described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0066] This application provides a refrigerator 100. Figure 1 This application provides an implementation method for a refrigerator 100.
[0067] The refrigerator 100 can achieve refrigeration in modes including but not limited to direct cooling, air cooling, and hybrid cooling (direct cooling and air cooling). This embodiment mainly uses air cooling as an example for illustration. Optionally, the refrigerator 100 is equipped with a refrigeration system and an air duct system. The refrigeration system is used to generate cold air, and the air duct system can transport the cold air generated by the refrigeration system to the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment of the refrigerator 100 to achieve the purpose of refrigeration in the refrigerator compartment and freezing in the freezer compartment.
[0068] A refrigeration system typically refers to a closed system consisting of components such as a compressor, evaporator, condenser, dryer filter, return pipe, and throttling device, as well as refrigerant. Each component is distributed in different locations within the refrigerator 100 according to its structural characteristics to meet the requirements of its corresponding function.
[0069] The working process of a refrigeration system mainly includes compression, condensation, throttling, and evaporation.
[0070] The compression process is as follows: After plugging in the power cord of the refrigerator 100, the compressor starts to work when the contacts of the thermostat are closed. The low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant from the evaporator is drawn into the compressor and compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas by the compressor before being discharged into the condenser.
[0071] The condensation process is as follows: the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas exchanges heat with the external environment through the condenser, the temperature drops, and it is gradually cooled into room-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant saturated vapor, and then cooled into refrigerant saturated liquid.
[0072] The throttling process is as follows: the condensed saturated liquid refrigerant is filtered through a dryer to remove moisture and impurities before flowing into the throttling device. The throttling device reduces the pressure and turns the refrigerant into a low-pressure, room-temperature wet vapor.
[0073] Evaporation process: Room temperature and low pressure wet vapor enters the evaporator, begins to absorb heat and vaporize, lowers the temperature of the evaporator and its surroundings, achieves refrigeration, and also turns the refrigerant into a low temperature and low pressure gas.
[0074] The refrigerant that comes out of the evaporator returns to the compressor and repeats the above process. Energy is converted through the change in the state of the refrigerant, and the heat inside the refrigerator 100 is transferred to the air outside the refrigerator, thereby realizing the refrigeration cycle of the refrigerator 100.
[0075] The air duct system is installed inside the refrigerator 100 to provide power for the flow of cold air. The air duct system generally includes a fan and air ducts.
[0076] In some possible embodiments, see Figure 1The refrigerator 100 includes a cabinet 110, which can be a two-door cabinet 110, a four-door cabinet 110, etc., and is not limited here. Those skilled in the art can design it according to actual needs.
[0077] In addition, the dimensions of the enclosure 110 are not limited, and those skilled in the art can make corresponding designs according to the actual installation space and storage capacity requirements.
[0078] This application mainly uses air cooling as an example for illustration. In some possible embodiments, the refrigerator 100 also includes a compressor and a condenser. The compressor is located inside the cabinet 110, and the condenser is located inside the cabinet 110 and connected to the compressor.
[0079] Because the condenser allows the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas to exchange heat with the external environment, the condenser can release heat, meaning that the temperature around the condenser is relatively high.
[0080] Typically, the condenser is located on the back of the housing 110, so the back of the housing 110 feels warm to the touch.
[0081] Figure 2 Exploded views of the outer casing 111 and inner liner 112 provided in this application embodiment are shown below. Figure 2 In some possible embodiments, the box 110 includes an outer shell 111 and an inner liner 112. The outer shell 111 includes a front 1111, and the inner liner 112 is disposed inside the outer shell 111, forming a storage compartment 1121.
[0082] The storage room 1121 includes a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment, which are independent of each other. The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is higher than the temperature in the freezer compartment. For example, the freezer compartment is located below the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator compartment is provided with at least one refrigerator partition to divide the refrigerator compartment into multiple refrigerator storage spaces. A refrigerator drawer is provided in at least one refrigerator storage space to facilitate the user's access to refrigerated items. Similarly, the freezer compartment is provided with at least one freezer partition to divide the freezer compartment into multiple freezer storage spaces. A freezer drawer is provided in at least one freezer storage space to store frozen items for the user's access.
[0083] Furthermore, the inner liner 112 has openings for both freezing and refrigeration. The freezing opening is connected to the freezer compartment, and the refrigeration opening is connected to the refrigeration compartment. However, the freezing opening and the refrigeration opening are not connected to each other to avoid the temperature inside the freezer compartment affecting the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment, thereby ensuring the freezing effect of the freezer compartment and the refrigeration effect of the refrigeration compartment.
[0084] In some possible embodiments, see Figure 2The inner liner 112 has an installation groove 1122 at the opening edge, and the front 1111 covers the installation groove 1122. The housing 110 also includes a decondensation pipe 113, which is installed in the installation groove 1122. One end of the decondensation pipe 113 is connected to the air outlet of the compressor, and the other end is connected to the air inlet of the condenser.
[0085] Optionally, the decondensation pipe 113 is a slender coil made of metal. Since one end of the decondensation pipe 113 is connected to the compressor, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas entering the decondensation pipe 113 will undergo heat exchange, thereby increasing the surface temperature of the decondensation pipe 113. By placing the decondensation pipe 113 in the mounting groove 1122, the temperature of the front surface 1111 of the outer casing 111 can be increased and made higher than the dew point temperature, thereby preventing water vapor in the air from forming condensation on the front surface 1111 of the outer casing 111.
[0086] By setting the mounting groove 1122, the decondensation pipe 113 can be installed, and the decondensation pipe 113 is limited to improve the stability of the decondensation pipe 113 installation.
[0087] Figure 3 for Figure 2 See the enlarged view of part A in the middle. Figure 3 In some possible embodiments, the inner liner 112 includes a support protrusion 1123 disposed at the bottom of the mounting groove 1122, and the support protrusion 1123 is used to support part of the decondensation pipe 113.
[0088] Since the decondensation pipe 113 is a slender coil and not a precision-manufactured part, its flatness is difficult to guarantee. In order to improve the stability of the installation groove 1122 for the decondensation pipe 113, the groove depth of the installation groove 1122 needs to be greater than the diameter of the decondensation pipe 113. That is to say, the depth of the installation groove 1122 is relatively large. However, this design inevitably increases the distance between the decondensation pipe 113 and the front surface 1111 of the outer shell 111. When the cold air inside the refrigerator 100 is transferred outward, it can lower the temperature of the outer shell 111. However, because the distance between the decondensation pipe 113 and the front surface 1111 of the outer shell 111 is relatively large, the heat exchange effect between the decondensation pipe 113 and the front surface 1111 of the outer shell 111 is poor, which makes it very easy for condensation to occur on the outer shell 111.
[0089] Based on this, a support protrusion 1123 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 1122. The support protrusion 1123 is used to support part of the decondensation pipe 113, which can raise part of the decondensation pipe 113 and make it closer to the front 1111 of the outer shell 111. This makes the decondensation pipe 113 closer to the outer shell 111, thereby improving the heat exchange effect between the decondensation pipe 113 and the front 1111 of the outer shell 111. This, in turn, increases the temperature of the outer shell 111 near the decondensation pipe 113, reduces the risk of condensation on the front 1111 of the outer shell 111, and improves the user experience.
[0090] Figure 4 This is a front view of the housing 110 in an embodiment of this application. See also, in some possible embodiments, [link to related documentation]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The support protrusions 1123 include multiple protrusions, which are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting groove 1122.
[0091] The aforementioned plurality of support protrusions 1123 refers to three or more support protrusions 1123.
[0092] The plurality of support protrusions 1123 are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting groove 1122. It should be understood that the plurality of support protrusions 1123 are distributed at equal intervals along the extension direction of the mounting groove 1122, or the distance between at least two adjacent support protrusions 1123 is not equal to the distance between any other two adjacent support protrusions 1123.
[0093] Since multiple support protrusions 1123 are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting groove 1122, on the one hand, the contact area between the support protrusions 1123 and the decondensation pipe 113 can be increased, thereby improving the support effect of the support protrusions 1123 on the decondensation pipe 113. On the other hand, it can ensure that the decondensation pipe 113 is as close as possible to the front 1111 of the outer shell 111, thereby improving the anti-condensation effect of the refrigerator body 110.
[0094] In some possible embodiments, see Figure 3 The distance between any two adjacent support protrusions 1123 is d, 30mm≤d≤50mm.
[0095] If the distance between any two adjacent support protrusions 1123 is less than 30mm, it indicates that the distance between the two adjacent support protrusions 1123 is too small, which is not conducive to the installation of the decondensation pipe 113. That is, when installing the decondensation pipe 113, it is easy for the decondensation pipe 113 to fall off the mounting groove 1122, making it difficult to guarantee the reliability of the installation of the decondensation pipe 113. If the distance between any two adjacent support protrusions 1123 is greater than 50mm, it indicates that the distance between the two adjacent support protrusions 1123 is too large, and the support protrusions 1123 are not conducive to the installation of the decondensation pipe 113. The support effect is poor, that is to say, only a few decondensation pipes 113 near the support protrusion 1123 can be set close to the front 1111, which is not conducive to the concept of preventing condensation on the front 1111 of the outer shell 111. Based on this, the distance between each pair of adjacent support protrusions 1123 is between 30mm and 50mm. In this way, the contact area between the support protrusion 1123 and the decondensation pipe 113 can be guaranteed, which meets the purpose of preventing condensation on the front 1111 of the outer shell 111, and the reliability of the installation of the decondensation pipe 113 can also be guaranteed.
[0096] For example, the spacing between any two adjacent support protrusions 1123 can be 30mm, 32mm, 34mm, 36mm, 38mm, 40mm, 42mm, 44mm, 46mm, 48mm or 50mm, etc. The above are just examples to illustrate the spacing between any two adjacent support protrusions 1123 and should not be construed as limiting the spacing between any two adjacent support protrusions 1123.
[0097] Figure 5 for Figure 4 A partially enlarged schematic diagram at point B, see [link to schematic diagram] in some possible embodiments. Figure 5 The support protrusion 1123 is a strip structure, and the length direction of the support protrusion 1123 forms an angle with the extension direction of the mounting groove 1122.
[0098] It should be noted that, for example, the length direction of the aforementioned support protrusion 1123 refers to... Figure 5 The direction indicated by the X arrow in the middle, the extension direction of the mounting groove 1122 refers to... Figure 5 In the direction indicated by the Y-arrow, the angle between the length direction of the aforementioned support protrusion 1123 and the extension direction of the mounting groove 1122 can be either an acute angle or an obtuse angle.
[0099] By making the length direction of the support protrusion 1123 form an angle with the extension direction of the mounting groove 1122, on the one hand, the contact area between the support protrusion 1123 and the decondensation pipe 113 can be increased, ensuring the support effect of the support protrusion 1123 on the decondensation pipe 113. On the other hand, during foaming, it can facilitate the exhaust of air and reduce the risk of foam leakage.
[0100] Figure 6This is one of the cross-sectional schematic diagrams of the support protrusion 1123 in the embodiments of this application. Figure 7 This is a second cross-sectional schematic diagram of the support protrusion 1123 in an embodiment of this application. See also the following in some possible embodiments: Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cross-section of the supporting protrusion 1123 is U-shaped or semi-circular, and the cross-section of the supporting protrusion 1123 is perpendicular to the length direction of the supporting protrusion 1123.
[0101] Specifically, when the depth of the mounting groove 1122 is relatively deep, in order to improve the effect of the support protrusion 1123 in supporting the dehumidifier pipe 113, the support protrusion 1123 can be made into a U-shaped structure, that is, the cross section of the support protrusion 1123 is U-shaped. When the depth of the mounting groove 1122 is relatively shallow, in order to prevent the dehumidifier pipe 113 from protruding from the mounting groove 1122, the support protrusion 1123 can be made into a semi-cylindrical structure, that is, the cross section of the support protrusion 1123 is semi-circular.
[0102] Therefore, by making the cross-section of the support protrusion 1123 U-shaped or semi-circular, on the one hand, the support effect of the support protrusion 1123 on the decondensation pipe 113 can be ensured, and on the other hand, the air permeability in the installation groove 1122 can be ensured during foaming, thereby avoiding the occurrence of foam leakage in the installation groove 1122.
[0103] Figure 8 This is an exploded view of the inner liner 112 and the decondensation pipe 113 in an embodiment of this application. See also the following for some possible embodiments: Figure 8 The mounting groove 1122 surrounds the opening edge of the inner liner 112.
[0104] By making the mounting groove 1122 surround the opening edge of the inner liner 112, it facilitates the installation of the decondensation pipe 113 and improves the ventilation effect of the mounting groove 1122.
[0105] Figure 9 for Figure 8 A partially enlarged schematic diagram at point C is shown in some possible embodiments. Figure 8 and Figure 9 The opening of the inner liner 112 is quadrilateral, and the edge of the opening of the inner liner 112 includes a first corner 1125; the mounting groove 1122 includes a first side wall 11221 and a second side wall 11222, the first side wall 11221 is far away from the opening relative to the second side wall 11222, and an avoidance notch 1124 is provided on the first side wall 11221, the avoidance notch 1124 is located at the first corner 1125.
[0106] Since the decondensation pipe 113 is located in the mounting groove 1122 and both ends of the decondensation pipe 113 extend out of the mounting groove 1122, in order to prevent the decondensation pipe 113 from protruding from the opening edge of the inner liner 112, an avoidance notch 1124 is provided on the first side wall 11221, which ensures the flatness of the front 1111 of the outer shell 111 and the compactness of the refrigerator 100 structure.
[0107] In addition, since the first corner 1125 is close to the side wall of the box 110, in order to avoid the decondensation pipe 113 from being too coiled around the opening edge of the inner liner 112, the clearance notch 1124 is located at the first corner 1125, which is conducive to the setting of the decondensation pipe 113.
[0108] It should be noted that the opening of the inner liner 112 is quadrilateral. It should be understood that the shape of the opening of the inner liner 112 includes, but is not limited to, square, rectangle, etc.
[0109] Of course, in some other possible embodiments, the opening of the inner liner 112 can be other shapes, such as ellipse, irregular shape, etc.
[0110] Figure 10 for Figure 8 A partially enlarged schematic diagram at point D, see [link to schematic diagram] in some possible embodiments. Figure 8 and Figure 10 The opening edge of the inner liner 112 also includes a second corner 1126, a third corner 1127 and a fourth corner 1128, and the bottom of the mounting groove 1122 at the second corner 1126, the third corner 1127 and / or the fourth corner 1128 is provided with a relief pit 1129.
[0111] Because the front of the refrigerator 100 1111 has a first front beam and a second front beam, and the first front beam and the second front beam need to be pre-positioned during installation and then fixed.
[0112] Based on this, the bottom of the mounting groove 1122 at the second corner 1126, the third corner 1127 and / or the fourth corner 1128 is provided with a clearance recess 1129, which can pre-position the first front beam and / or the second front beam when installing them, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the first front beam and / or the second front beam, and thus improving the assembly efficiency of the refrigerator 100.
[0113] In addition, the bottom of the mounting groove 1122 at the second corner 1126, the third corner 1127 and / or the fourth corner 1128 is provided with a clearance recess 1129. It should be understood that the clearance recess 1129 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 1122 at the second corner 1126, or at the bottom of the mounting groove 1122 at the third corner 1127, or at the bottom of the mounting groove 1122 at the fourth corner 1128, or at the bottom of the mounting groove 1122 at any two of the second corner 1126, the third corner 1127 and the fourth corner 1128, or at the bottom of the mounting groove 1122 at the second corner 1126, the third corner 1127 and the fourth corner 1128. Those skilled in the art can make corresponding settings according to actual assembly requirements.
[0114] Figure 11 This is a first-view structural schematic diagram of the inner liner 112 in an embodiment of this application. See also the following for some possible embodiments. Figure 11 The inner liner 112 includes a refrigerator inner liner 112a and a freezer inner liner 112b. The freezer inner liner 112b is located below the refrigerator inner liner 112a. The decondensation pipe 113 is arranged around the opening edge of the freezer inner liner 112b and the opening edge of the refrigerator inner liner 112a in sequence.
[0115] Optionally, when installing the decondenser pipe 113, the end of the decondenser pipe 113 connected to the condenser is first made to enter the mounting groove 1122 at the opening edge of the freezer inner liner 112b through the clearance notch 1124 on the freezer inner liner 112b, and then surround the opening edge of the freezer inner liner 112b along the mounting groove 1122. Then it extends out from the clearance notch 1124 on the freezer inner liner 112b, and enters the mounting groove 1122 on the refrigerator inner liner 112a through the clearance notch 1124 on the refrigerator inner liner 112a. Then it surrounds the opening edge of the refrigerator inner liner 112a along the mounting groove 1122, and finally extends out from the clearance notch 1124 on the refrigerator inner liner 112a and connects to the condenser.
[0116] Since the decondensation pipe 113 is arranged sequentially around the opening edge of the freezer inner liner 112b and the opening edge of the refrigerator inner liner 112a, the decondensation pipe 113 can exchange heat with the opening edge of the refrigerator inner liner 112a and the opening edge of the freezer inner liner 112b, thereby improving the anti-condensation effect of the front side 1111 of the outer shell 111.
[0117] In addition, reducing the thickness of the foam layer at the top of the cabinet 110 can both increase the effective volume ratio of the cabinet 110 and enhance the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator 100.
[0118] Optionally, the cabinet 110 includes a first front beam, a middle front beam, and a second front beam, wherein the first front beam is located near the top of the cabinet 110, the middle front beam is located between the refrigerated inner liner 112a and the frozen inner liner 112b, and the second front beam is located near the bottom of the cabinet 110.
[0119] Figure 12 This is a structural schematic diagram of the inner liner 112 of the box in the embodiment of this application from a second perspective. Figure 13 for Figure 12 A partially enlarged schematic diagram at point E in the middle; see also [reference] in some possible embodiments. Figure 12 and Figure 13 There is a gap between the refrigerated inner liner 112a and the frozen inner liner 112b, and the decondensation pipe 113 located in the gap is recessed and bent toward the storage compartment 1121.
[0120] Due to the installation of other fasteners on the middle front beam and front 1111, some structures will extend into the gap between the refrigerator inner liner 112a and the freezer inner liner 112b. In order to ensure the accuracy of the installation of the above components, the decondensation pipe 113 located in the gap is recessed and bent towards the storage compartment 1121 to avoid the component structure extending into the gap between the refrigerator inner liner 112a and the freezer inner liner 112b.
[0121] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
