[0075] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0076] This application aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the related art. To this end, this application proposes a refrigerator that allows the back of the refrigerator to fit more closely against the wall.

[0077] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 Refrigerator 1 according to an embodiment of this application is described.

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator 1 includes: an outer shell 10, an inner liner, an insulation layer, a compressor, a condenser, and a decorative part 40, wherein the outer shell 10 forms a compressor compartment 20, the inner liner is installed inside the outer shell 10 to form a compartment, the insulation layer is formed between the outer shell 10 and the inner liner, and the compressor and condenser are installed in the compressor compartment 20.

[0079] The outer shell 10 can be composed of a top plate 110, side plates 120, back plate 130 and bottom plate 140. The main function of the outer shell 10 is to provide support and physical protection for the internal structure of the refrigerator 1. Specifically, the top plate 110 is connected between the oppositely arranged side plates 120. The top plate 110 and the two side plates 120 form a U-shell. The U-shell structure is part of the outer shell 10. The opening of the U-shell structure facing the rear of the refrigerator 1 is used to install the back plate 130. The opening of the U-shell structure facing the bottom of the refrigerator 1 is used to install the bottom plate 140. The bottom plate 140 is connected between the side plates 120 and is opposite to the top plate 110. The back plate 130 is connected between the side plates 120 and the top plate 110.

[0080] For example, the two sides of the back plate 130 are bent inward to form vertical edges, which can be fixed to the left and right side plates 120 by, but not limited to, embedded buckles. The bottom of the left and right side plates 120 is bent inward, and the bent part can be fixed to the edge of the base plate 140 by, but not limited to, riveting or welding.

[0081] It is understood that the outer shell 10 of the refrigerator 1 forms the main frame through the bending and fixing of the top plate 110 and the side plate 120, the back plate 130 closes the rear space, and the bottom plate 140 covers the compressor compartment 20. The plates can be connected to each other by means of, but not limited to, snaps, bolts or welding.

[0082] The inner liner is the internal storage space of the refrigerator 1. The materials used to make it include, but are not limited to, plastic or stainless steel. The inner liner is installed inside the outer shell 10 to form a compartment. The compartment is mainly used to provide storage space for items and to store different types of items through a reasonable layout.

[0083] For example, the inner liner may be equipped with partitions or drawers to divide the compartments for easy classification and management of items.

[0084] The gap between the outer shell 10 and the inner liner can serve as the installation space for the insulation layer. The insulation layer is usually made of polyurethane foam or other high-efficiency heat insulation materials to reduce the heat exchange between the inside of the refrigerator 1 and the external environment, enhance the heat preservation effect of the refrigerator 1, and thus improve the energy efficiency of the refrigerator 1.

[0085] The outer casing 10 can also form a compressor compartment 20. The compressor compartment 20 is mainly used to accommodate components that generate noise during operation, such as the compressor, and effectively isolate noise to maintain the low-noise operation of the refrigerator 1. Specifically, the compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the bottom plate 140 together form the compressor compartment 20 located at the bottom of the refrigerator 1. The compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the back plate 130 are both located at the back of the refrigerator 1. The compressor compartment rear cover 250 is located below the back plate 130, and the bottom plate 140 is located at the bottom of the refrigerator 1.

[0086] The compressor and condenser are the core components of the refrigerator 1's refrigeration system. They are usually installed in the compressor compartment 20. The compressor regulates the internal temperature of the refrigerator 1 by continuously compressing and releasing the refrigerant. Specifically, the compressor is mainly used to compress the refrigerant and deliver it to the condenser through the refrigeration system. The refrigerant is then delivered from the condenser to the evaporator, where it releases heat and lowers the internal temperature of the refrigerator 1.

[0087] The refrigeration system of refrigerator 1 relies on the operation of the compressor. When the compressor is working, it generates heat. A heat dissipation vent connected to the compressor compartment 20 is provided on the outer shell 10 of refrigerator 1 to help the heat in the compressor compartment 20 dissipate quickly.

[0088] In addition, a compressor compartment 20 is formed at the bottom of the outer casing 10. At least one of the side plates 120 and the bottom plate 140 of the outer casing 10 is provided with a heat dissipation vent. The heat dissipation vent communicates with the compressor compartment 20. The compressor compartment rear cover 250 of the outer casing 10 is installed behind the compressor compartment 20, and the lower part is recessed forward on at least one side to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open in the direction away from the compartment on the side it is located, at both ends on the side it is located, and downward. That is, the relief groove 150 is open at the back, side and bottom.

[0089] Specifically, at least one of the side panels 120 and bottom panels 140 of the outer casing 10 adjacent to the compressor compartment 20 is provided with a heat dissipation vent. That is, the heat dissipation vent can be located at least one of the side and bottom of the refrigerator 1. The heat dissipation vent can connect the compressor compartment 20 with the outside, so that the hot air in the compressor compartment 20 can be quickly released to the outside through the heat dissipation vent, thereby reducing the risk of excessive temperature in the compressor area and maintaining the efficient operation of the compressor.

[0090] It should be noted that designing the heat dissipation vents in a position adjacent to the compressor compartment 20, rather than the traditional rear, allows for better utilization of the refrigerator 1's spatial layout and reduces the limitations of traditional rear air outlets.

[0091] The compressor compartment rear cover 250 of the outer casing 10 is installed at the rear of the compressor compartment 20, and is recessed forward at the bottom to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, side and bottom, which can provide suitable placement space for components such as baseboards, thereby optimizing the spatial layout of the back of the refrigerator 1 and reducing the gap between the back of the refrigerator 1 and the wall.

[0092] Specifically, the clearance groove 150 is a recessed area on the back of the refrigerator 1. Its shape and size can be designed according to actual needs. The clearance groove 150 runs through the side of the refrigerator 1 and is open at the back and bottom. The baseboard is usually closely connected to the wall and located at the back of the refrigerator 1. Setting the clearance groove 150 at the rear of the refrigerator 1 can provide appropriate space for components such as the baseboard, thereby reducing the occupation of extra space.

[0093] Furthermore, the decorative part 40 is detachably installed in the clearance groove 150, and the outer wall surface of the decorative part 40 is flush with the corresponding wall surface on the outer casing 10. When the decorative part 40 is installed in the clearance groove 150, the clearance groove 150 at the bottom of the outer casing 10 is filled. In an environment where the wall does not have a baseboard, the back of the refrigerator 1 is against the wall. When the decorative part 40 is not installed in the clearance groove 150, the bottom of the refrigerator 1 forms a clearance groove 150, which can provide appropriate space for components such as baseboards, thereby reducing the occupation of additional space.

[0094] Refrigerators are typically installed against a wall or in a corner. Their refrigeration system relies on a compressor, which generates heat. Therefore, cooling vents are usually installed on the compressor compartment. However, baseboards are often installed at the junction of the floor and walls during interior decoration. Furthermore, refrigerators in this technology typically have rear-exhaust systems, resulting in a large gap between the back of the refrigerator and the wall. This gap easily accumulates dust, making cleaning difficult and potentially creating hygiene hazards. This negatively impacts the user experience and indicates room for improvement.

[0095] This application provides a clearance groove 150 on the back of the refrigerator 1 to provide appropriate installation space for components such as baseboards. This reduces unnecessary gaps between the refrigerator 1 and the wall, allowing the back of the refrigerator 1 to fit more tightly against the wall. This helps reduce tilting or swaying of the refrigerator 1 due to instability. At the same time, the decorative part 40 can be detachably installed in the clearance groove 150, allowing the refrigerator 1 to be applied to a variety of different installation environments.

[0096] According to the refrigerator 1 provided in the embodiments of this application, by detachably installing the decorative part 40 into the clearance groove 150, the adaptability of the refrigerator 1 can be improved, which helps to apply the refrigerator 1 to a variety of different installation environments.

[0097] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top wall of the decorative part 40 abuts against the top wall of the clearance groove 150, the inner side wall of the decorative part 40 abuts against the inward wall surface of the clearance groove 150, and the other wall surfaces of the decorative part 40 are flush with the corresponding wall surfaces on the outer shell.

[0098] In this embodiment, the decorative part 40 is installed in the relief groove 150, and the top wall of the decorative part 40 abuts against the top wall of the relief groove 150, and the inner side wall of the decorative part 40 abuts against the inner wall surface of the relief groove 150.

[0099] In addition, the bottom wall of the decorative part 40 is flush with the lower surface of the base plate, the outer side wall of the decorative part 40 is directly opposite the inner side wall, and the outer side wall is flush with the outer side surface of the back plate 130. Apart from the inner side wall and the outer side wall, the other two side walls of the decorative part 40 are directly opposite along the length of the decorative part 40, and the other two side walls are respectively flush with the side plates on both sides.

[0100] The outer wall surface of the decorative part 40 is flush with the corresponding wall surface on the outer shell 10. When the decorative part 40 is installed in the clearance groove 150, the clearance groove 150 at the bottom of the outer shell 10 is filled, forming the regular shape of the conventional refrigerator 1.

[0101] It is understandable that installing the decorative part 40 at the clearance groove 150 can reduce the impact of the external environment on the clearance groove 150.

[0102] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the decorative part 40 is detachably mounted to the clearance groove 150 by a plurality of connectors 410, and the plurality of connectors 410 are distributed near the lower edge and the side edges of the decorative part 40.

[0103] In this embodiment, the decorative part 40 is detachably mounted to the clearance groove 150 via multiple connectors 410. When the decorative part 40 is mounted to the clearance groove 150, the clearance groove 150 at the bottom of the outer casing 10 is filled. In an environment where the wall does not have a baseboard, the back of the refrigerator 1 is against the wall. When the decorative part 40 is not mounted to the clearance groove 150, the clearance groove 150 is formed at the bottom of the refrigerator 1, which can provide appropriate space for components such as baseboards, thereby reducing the occupation of additional space.

[0104] For example, connector 410 can be a detachable connection structure such as a fastener.

[0105] In addition, multiple connectors 410 are distributed near the lower edge and both sides of the decorative part 40. For example, the decorative part 40 is connected to the housing 10 by the connectors 410 distributed near the lower edge of the decorative part 40, and the decorative part 40 is connected to the compressor chamber 20 by the connectors 410 distributed near the both sides of the decorative part 40.

[0106] It is understandable that the decorative part 40 is detachably mounted to the clearance groove 150 by means of multiple connectors 410, which can improve the connection strength and connection stability between the connectors 410 and the clearance groove 150.

[0107] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the refrigerator 1 is provided with a bottom support beam 230, and the back of the bottom plate 140 is provided with an upwardly folded bottom plate flange 141. The decorative part 40 is detachably connected to the vertically extending part of the bottom support beam 230, and the decorative part 40 is detachably connected to the bottom plate flange 141.

[0108] In this embodiment, the bottom plate flange 141 is located at the rear end of the bottom plate 140 of the refrigerator 1 and is folded upward. The bottom plate flange 141 has a certain angle or shape, which is used to connect the bottom plate 140 with other structures. It can also enhance the bending resistance of the bottom plate 140 and reduce the deformation of the bottom plate 140 caused by the refrigerator 1 bearing heavy objects or long-term use.

[0109] The bottom support beam 230 is a support structure located at the bottom of the refrigerator 1. For example, the bottom support beam 230 can be an angle steel, which serves to connect the bottom plate 140 and the back plate 130, and helps to improve the stability of the refrigerator 1 and reduce the tilting or imbalance of the refrigerator 1 due to uneven force.

[0110] Furthermore, the decorative part 40 is detachably connected to the vertically extending portion of the bottom support beam 230 via connectors 410 distributed near the two sides of the decorative part 40, and the connectors 410 penetrate the mounting part 220, the bottom support beam 230 and the outer casing 10.

[0111] The decorative part 40 is detachably connected to the base plate flange 141 by connectors 410 distributed near the lower edge of the decorative part 40, the connectors 410 passing through the base plate flange 141 and the outer shell 10.

[0112] Understandably, the decorative part 40 is detachably connected to the vertically extending portion of the bottom support beam 230 and the bottom plate flange 141, which can improve the connection strength and stability between the connector 410 and the clearance groove 150.

[0113] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a compressor compartment 20 is formed at the bottom of the outer casing 10. The rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment of the outer casing 10 is installed behind the compressor compartment 20 and has a relief groove 150 recessed forward at the lower part. The decorative part 40 is detachably installed on the outside of the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment.

[0114] In this embodiment, the compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the bottom plate 140 together form the compressor compartment 20 located at the bottom of the refrigerator 1. The compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the back plate 130 are both located at the back of the refrigerator 1. The compressor compartment rear cover 250 is located below the back plate 130, and the bottom plate 140 is located at the bottom of the refrigerator 1. The front cover of the compressor compartment 20 is connected between the compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the bottom plate 140.

[0115] The compressor compartment rear cover 250 of the outer casing 10 is installed at the rear of the compressor compartment 20, and is recessed forward at the bottom to form a relief groove 150. The relief groove 150 is open at the back, side and bottom, which can provide suitable placement space for components such as baseboards, thereby optimizing the spatial layout of the back of the refrigerator 1 and reducing the gap between the back of the refrigerator 1 and the wall.

[0116] The clearance groove 150 is a recessed area on the back of the refrigerator 1. Its shape and size can be designed according to actual needs. The clearance groove 150 runs through the side of the refrigerator 1 and is open at the back and bottom. The baseboard is usually closely connected to the wall and located at the back of the refrigerator 1. Setting the clearance groove 150 at the rear of the refrigerator 1 can provide appropriate space for components such as the baseboard, thereby reducing the occupation of extra space.

[0117] The decorative part 40 is detachably installed on the outside of the compressor compartment rear cover 250 and is in close contact with the compressor compartment rear cover 250, and can be used to fill the clearance groove 150.

[0118] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the compressor compartment rear cover 250 is spaced apart from the side panel 120 in the left-right direction, and the decorative part 40 protrudes outward relative to the compressor compartment rear cover 250 in the left-right direction and is flush with the side panel 120.

[0119] In this embodiment, the compressor compartment rear cover 250 is spaced apart from the side plate 120 in the left-right direction, that is, the length of the compressor compartment rear cover 250 in the left-right direction is less than the length of the back plate 130 in the left-right direction, that is, the length of the compressor compartment rear cover 250 in the left-right direction is less than the vertical distance between the side plates 120.

[0120] The decorative part 40 protrudes outward relative to the compressor compartment rear cover 250 in the left-right direction, and the left and right sides of the decorative part 40 are flush with the side plate 120. That is, the length of the decorative part 40 in the left-right direction is equal to the sum of the vertical distance between the side plates 120 and twice the thickness of the side plate 120.

[0121] Understandably, the decorative part 40 protrudes outward relative to the compressor compartment rear cover 250 in the left-right direction and is flush with the side plate 120, which can completely cover the clearance groove 150.

[0122] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the compressor compartment rear cover 250 includes a first rear cover portion 251, a second rear cover portion 252, and a third rear cover portion 253 connected sequentially from top to bottom. The first rear cover portion 251 and the third rear cover portion 253 are respectively bent to the second rear cover portion 252. The second rear cover portion 252 forms the top wall of the clearance groove 150, and the third rear cover portion 253 is connected to the rear end of the base plate 140 and forms the front wall of the clearance groove 150.

[0123] In this embodiment, the compressor compartment rear cover 250 is connected between the back plate 130 and the bottom plate 140. Both the compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the back plate 130 are located at the back of the refrigerator 1. The compressor compartment rear cover 250 is located below the back plate 130, and the bottom plate 140 is located at the bottom of the refrigerator 1. The compressor compartment rear cover 250 includes a first rear cover portion 251, a second rear cover portion 252, and a third rear cover portion 253 connected sequentially from top to bottom. The first rear cover portion 251 is connected between the lower end of the back plate 130 and the second rear cover portion 252. The second rear cover portion 252 is connected between the first rear cover portion 251 and the third rear cover portion 253. The third rear cover portion 253 is connected between the second rear cover portion 252 and the rear end of the bottom plate 140.

[0124] In addition, the first part 251 and the third part 253 of the rear cover are bent into shape with the second part 252 of the rear cover. Specifically, the first part 251 and the third part 253 of the rear cover are parallel to the back panel 130, the second part 252 of the rear cover is perpendicular to the first part 251 and the third part 253 of the rear cover, and the third part 253 of the rear cover is closer to the inside of the refrigerator 1 than the first part 251 of the rear cover.

[0125] It should be noted that the compressor compartment rear cover 250 is recessed forward at the bottom to form a clearance groove 150, the second part 252 of the rear cover forms the top wall of the clearance groove 150, and the third part 253 of the rear cover forms the front wall of the clearance groove 150.

[0126] Understandably, the bending and connecting of various parts on the compressor compartment rear cover 250 together form the wall of the clearance groove 150, which can improve the operability of the compressor compartment rear cover 250.

[0127] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the side surface of the refrigerator 1 has a notch 121 at the rear end. The second part 252 and the third part 253 of the rear cover are both arranged in the notch 121 to form a clearance groove 150.

[0128] In this embodiment, the notch 121 located at the bottom rear end of the side surface of the refrigerator 1 makes the area at the bottom of the side panel 120 not completely closed, thereby forming a certain space. The second part 252 and the third part 253 of the rear cover are arranged in the notch 121 to form a relief groove 150, which is open at the back, side and bottom.

[0129] Specifically, the bottom of the side panel 120 has an L-shaped notch 121 at the rear end, the second part 252 of the rear cover is parallel to the bottom plate 140 to form the top wall of the clearance groove 150, and the third part 253 of the rear cover is parallel to the back plate 130 to form the side wall of the clearance groove 150.

[0130] Understandably, the second part 252 and the third part 253 of the rear cover are arranged at the notch 121 at the bottom of the side panel 120, which can make full use of the space at the bottom of the refrigerator 1, so that the bottom area is not limited to a straight line and closed design, thereby improving the operability of the refrigerator 1.

[0131] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the upper edge of the notch 121 is higher than the second part 252 of the back cover, so as to form a wiring channel 210 between the upper edge of the notch 121 and the second part 252 of the back cover.

[0132] In this embodiment, the second part 252 of the rear cover is parallel to the bottom plate 140, forming the top wall of the clearance groove 150. The top wall of the clearance groove 150 is located below the upper edge of the notch 121 and is spaced apart from the upper edge of the notch 121. A wiring channel 210 is formed between the upper edge of the notch 121 and the second part 252 of the rear cover.

[0133] The wiring channel 210 is a channel designed inside the refrigerator 1 for placing and guiding electrical components such as cables or wires. The wiring channel 210 is located above the top wall of the clearance groove 150 and can provide an orderly and safe path, allowing the cables inside the refrigerator 1 to be led out from the wiring channel 210 and safely transmitted to the outside of the refrigerator 1 to connect to power sources or external devices, reducing interference between cables and other components inside the refrigerator 1.

[0134] Understandably, the upper edge of the notch 121 is higher than the second part 252 of the back cover, which can form a wiring channel 210.

[0135] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the refrigerator 1 also includes a mounting piece 220, which is installed at the notch 121, and the third part 253 of the rear cover is installed on the back of the mounting piece 220.

[0136] In this embodiment, the mounting component 220 is the main component in the refrigerator 1 structure used to form the compressor compartment 20. The mounting component 220, together with the back plate 130 and the bottom plate 140 in the outer shell 10 of the refrigerator 1, forms the compressor compartment 20 that accommodates the compressor.

[0137] Specifically, the mounting component 220 is installed at the bottom of the side panel 120 at the notch 121 at the rear end, and cooperates with the side panel 120 to form the side of the refrigerator 1. At the same time, the third part 253 of the rear cover of the compressor compartment rear cover 250 is installed on the back of the mounting component 220, that is, on the side of the mounting component 220 facing the back panel 130.

[0138] Understandably, the third part 253 of the back cover is installed on the back of the mounting piece 220, which can reduce the possibility of the back panel 130 loosening or deforming due to long-term use or external force.

[0139] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting component 220 includes a first part 221 and a second part 222 connected from top to bottom. The back of the first part 221 protrudes rearward relative to the second part 222. The back plate 130 is attached to the back of the first part 221 and the back of the second part 222. The downward stepped surface between the first part 221 and the second part 222 of the mounting component 220 is spaced apart from the second part 252 of the rear cover to form a wiring channel 210. The cables of the refrigerator 1 are led out from the wiring channel 210 to the outside of the refrigerator 1.

[0140] Specifically, the back of the first part 221 protrudes rearward relative to the second part 222, that is, the thickness of the first part 221 is greater than that of the second part 222, and a stepped structure is formed between the first part 221 and the second part 222. At the same time, the back plate 130 is attached to the back of the first part 221 and the back of the second part 222. The back plate 130 is bent at the stepped structure, which also forms a stepped structure. The stepped structure formed by the back plate 130 is the wall surface of the clearance groove 150, and the downward stepped surface between the first part 221 and the second part 222 of the mounting member 220 is separated from the second part 252 of the rear cover.

[0141] The first part 221 of the mounting member 220 is fully fitted with the first part 251 of the rear cover in the height direction, and the first part 251 of the rear cover extends on the back of the first part 221 in the height direction. The second part 222 of the mounting member 220 is partially fitted with the third part 253 of the rear cover in the height direction. That is, the height of the first part 221 of the mounting member 220 is less than the height of the first part 251 of the rear cover, and the height of the second part 222 of the mounting member 220 is greater than the height of the third part 253 of the rear cover. The part of the second part 222 of the mounting member 220 that is not fitted with the third part 253 of the rear cover and the extension of the first part 251 of the rear cover outside the first part 221 of the mounting member 220 form a wiring channel 210.

[0142] The wiring channel 210 is a channel designed inside the refrigerator 1 for placing and guiding electrical components such as cables or wires. The wiring channel 210 is located above the top wall of the clearance groove 150 and can provide an orderly and safe path, allowing the cables inside the refrigerator 1 to be led out from the wiring channel 210 and safely transmitted to the outside of the refrigerator 1 to connect to power sources or external devices, reducing interference between cables and other components inside the refrigerator 1.

[0143] Understandably, the mounting component 220 and the back panel 130 form a wiring channel 210, which can effectively manage the cables inside the refrigerator 1 and reduce potential dangers caused by electrical faults or exposed cables.

[0144] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the rear end of the base plate 140 has an upwardly folded base plate flange 141, and the bottom of the refrigerator 1 is provided with a bottom support beam 230. The back plate 130, the base plate flange 141 and the bottom support beam 230 overlap sequentially from back to front and are connected in the overlapping area. The mounting component 220 is provided with a clearance opening 225 for avoiding the base plate flange 141.

[0145] In this embodiment, the bottom plate flange 141 is located at the rear end of the bottom plate 140 of the refrigerator 1 and is folded upward. The bottom plate flange 141 has a certain angle or shape, which is used to connect the bottom plate 140 with other structures. It can also enhance the bending resistance of the bottom plate 140 and reduce the deformation of the bottom plate 140 caused by the refrigerator 1 bearing heavy objects or long-term use.

[0146] The bottom support beam 230 is a support structure located at the bottom of the refrigerator 1. For example, the bottom support beam 230 can be an angle steel, which serves to connect the bottom plate 140 and the back plate 130, and helps to improve the stability of the refrigerator 1 and reduce the tilting or imbalance of the refrigerator 1 due to uneven force.

[0147] For example, the back plate 130, the bottom plate flange 141, and the bottom support beam 230 can overlap in various ways, such as the back plate 130, the bottom plate flange 141, and the bottom support beam 230 overlapping sequentially from back to front, or the bottom plate flange 141, the back plate 131, and the bottom support beam 230 overlapping sequentially from back to front.

[0148] The back panel 130, the bottom plate flange 141, and the bottom support beam 230 have overlapping areas and are connected in the overlapping areas, which can improve the overall stability and strength of the refrigerator 1. At the same time, the overlapping connection can provide additional structural support, so that the back panel 130, the bottom plate flange 141, and the bottom support beam 230 can share the external forces on the refrigerator 1, further enhancing the load-bearing capacity and stability of the bottom of the refrigerator 1.

[0149] For example, the back plate 130 and the bottom plate flange 141 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​structure 223, and the back plate 130, the bottom plate flange 141 and the bottom support beam 230 can be connected by a threaded connection structure 170 in the overlapping area.

[0150] In addition, the mounting component 220 is provided with a clearance opening 225, which is mainly used to avoid the bottom plate flange 141, thereby minimizing the interference area between the mounting component 220 and the bottom plate flange 141. The back plate 130, the bottom plate flange 141 and the bottom support beam 230 overlap sequentially from back to front in the overlapping area, and the overlapping area is provided with a threaded connection structure 170. At the same time, the clearance opening 225 of the mounting component 220 is also located in the overlapping area.

[0151] It is understandable that by setting the clearance opening 225, the mounting part 220 can be installed without interfering with the bottom plate flange 141, which helps the mounting part 220 to be installed smoothly without affecting the function or structure of the bottom plate flange 141, and can effectively improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the bottom of the refrigerator 1.

[0152] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a side panel folded edge 180 is provided at the notch 121. The side panel folded edge 180 includes a first section 181 that folds inward and a second section 182 that folds backward. The outer front end of the mounting member 220 has a protruding part 226 that protrudes forward. The front surface of the protruding part 226 is arranged opposite to the first section 181 in the front-back direction. The inner side of the protruding part 226 is arranged opposite to the second section 182 in the left-right direction, and the second section 182 is located inside the protruding part 226.

[0153] In this embodiment, the bottom of the side panel 120 has a notch 121 at the rear end, and the side panel folding edge 180 is a folding structure formed by folding the edge portion at the notch 121 of the side panel 120 at a certain angle.

[0154] The side panel folded edge 180 includes a first segment 181 and a second segment 182 that are perpendicular to each other. The first segment 181 folds inward toward the side panel 120 and is parallel to the back panel 130. The first segment 181 can strengthen the side panel 120. The second segment 182 folds backward and is parallel to the side panel 120. The second segment 182 is used to connect with the mounting piece 220 and can enhance the firmness of the structural connection.

[0155] The front outer side of the mounting component 220 has a forward-protruding protrusion 226, which is mainly used to provide additional support points or connection points to help the mounting component 220 be fixedly connected to the side panel folded edge 180.

[0156] Specifically, the front surface of the protrusion 226 and the first segment 181 of the side panel folded edge 180 are both parallel to the back panel 130, and the front surface of the protrusion 226 and the first segment 181 of the side panel folded edge 180 are arranged opposite each other in the front-rear direction, wherein the first segment 181 of the side panel folded edge 180 is located in front of the front surface of the protrusion 226, and the protrusion 226 abuts against the first segment 181 of the side panel folded edge 180.

[0157] The inner side of the protrusion 226 and the second segment 182 of the side plate folded edge 180 are both parallel to the side plate 120, and the inner side of the protrusion 226 and the second segment 182 of the side plate folded edge 180 are arranged opposite each other in the left and right direction. The second segment 182 of the side plate folded edge 180 is located inside the protrusion 226 and abuts against the protrusion 226.

[0158] That is, the side panel folded edge 180 covers the front surface and inner side surface of the protrusion 226, thereby achieving a stable fit between the side panel folded edge 180 and the protrusion 226. At the same time, the side panel folded edge 180 can get additional support, reducing the risk of deformation of the side panel folded edge 180 due to external forces.

[0159] Furthermore, the relative arrangement of the protrusion 226 and the side panel folded edge 180 facilitates precise installation, reduces errors during installation, and improves assembly accuracy and efficiency.

[0160] It is understandable that by providing a side panel folded edge 180 at the notch 121 and combining the side panel folded edge 180 with the protrusion 226 of the mounting part 220, the installation process can be optimized and the connection between the refrigerator 1 outer shell 10 and the mounting part 220 can be strengthened.

[0161] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the back of the mounting member 220 includes a first region and a second region located outside the first region. The first region is in contact with the back plate 130, and the second region is provided with an elastic decorative member 240. The elastic decorative member 240 protrudes rearward relative to the back plate 130 and the decorative part 40 in an uncompressed state.

[0162] In this embodiment, the back side of the mounting member 220 faces the back plate 130 and is in contact with the back plate 130. The back side of the mounting member 220 includes a first region and a second region located outside the first region. The second region is located on the side of the first region near the side plate folding edge 180. The first region is in contact with the back plate 130, and the second region is the part of the back side of the mounting member 220 that is not in contact with the back plate 130.

[0163] In addition, the second area is provided with a resilient decorative element 240, which can provide additional support and decoration. The resilient decorative element 240 may include components with elastic deformation capabilities, typically made of flexible materials such as rubber, plastic and silicone. In the uncompressed state, the resilient decorative element 240 protrudes rearward relative to the back plate 130, which can be used to protect the back plate 130 and reduce the impact of external forces on the back plate 130. The resilient decorative element 240 can also cover the corners of the back and outer sides of the mounting element 220 to reduce corner wear.

[0164] The resilient decorative element 240 can absorb external impacts or pressures, helping the back panel 130 and the mounting element 220 to resist the influence of external forces to a certain extent. For example, when subjected to external force, the resilient decorative element 240 is compressed, and compressed to the maximum extent to be flush with the back panel 130. After the external force is removed, the resilient decorative element 240 returns to its original protruding state, thereby maintaining its elasticity and decorative function.

[0165] Understandably, the first area fits tightly against the back panel 130, providing strong support for the overall structure and reducing loosening or deformation of the back panel 130 during use. Meanwhile, the elastic decorative element 240 in the second area can further improve the support performance of the mounting element 220, effectively distribute pressure, and reduce the risk of damage to the back panel 130.

[0166] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, a wiring channel 210 is provided above the second part 252 of the back cover, and the cables of the refrigerator 1 are led out from the wiring channel 210 to the outside of the refrigerator 1.

[0167] In this embodiment, the wiring channel 210 is a channel designed inside the refrigerator 1 for placing and guiding electrical components such as cables or wires. The wiring channel 210 is located above the top wall of the clearance groove 150, that is, above the second part 252 of the rear cover, thereby providing an orderly and safe path so that the cables inside the refrigerator 1 can be led out from the wiring channel 210 and safely transmitted to the outside of the refrigerator 1 to connect to the power supply or external equipment, reducing interference between the cables and other components inside the refrigerator 1.

[0168] Understandably, the wiring channel 210 can effectively manage the cables inside the refrigerator 1 and reduce potential hazards caused by electrical faults or exposed cables.

[0169] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the compressor compartment rear cover 250 is provided with a connecting structure 170 that is connected to the structural components of the refrigerator 1, and the connecting structure 170 is recessed forward.

[0170] The connecting structure 170 is the connection part between the compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the structural component of the refrigerator 1. Through the connecting structure 170, the compressor compartment rear cover 250 can be more firmly combined with the structural component of the refrigerator 1, and the structural component forms the compressor compartment 20.

[0171] For example, the connection structure 170 typically uses bolts, clips, welding or plug-in to fix the compressor compartment rear cover 250 to other important components of the refrigerator 1 in order to maintain the stability of the refrigerator 1 during use.

[0172] For example, the connection structure 170 may include a second connection structure 172 and a first connection structure 171. When the compressor compartment 20 is at the bottom, the compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the bottom plate 140 are connected through the second connection structure 172, and the compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the bottom support beam 230 of the compressor compartment 20 are connected through the first connection structure 171. When the compressor compartment 20 is at the top, the compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the top plate 110 are connected through the second connection structure 172, and the compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the bottom support beam 230 of the compressor compartment 20 are connected through the first connection structure 171.

[0173] In addition, the connecting structure 170 is recessed into the refrigerator 1 to form a certain concave structure, which can embed the connecting structure 170 into the interior of the refrigerator 1 or into the surface depth of the compressor compartment rear cover 250 without increasing the external space occupied, thus helping to enhance the connection strength between the compressor compartment rear cover 250 and the structural components.

[0174] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, when the compressor compartment 20 is formed at the bottom of the outer casing 10, the connection structure 170 can be at least one of the following structural forms:

[0175] Firstly, the connection structure 170 may include a first connection structure 171.

[0176] In this embodiment, the first connecting structure 171 may include a forward-protruding buckle, and the buckle engages with a hook on the bottom plate flange 141 of the bottom plate 140 of the housing 10.

[0177] Specifically, the second connection structure 172 may include a buckle provided on the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment. The buckle protrudes into the refrigerator 1 and is used to engage with a hook. A gap is formed between the buckle and other parts of the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment. The hook extends into the gap from one side of the buckle, and the end of the hook abuts against a part of the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment located on the other side of the buckle, thereby forming a stable connection.

[0178] It should be noted that after the hook is engaged with the second connecting structure 172, the hook does not protrude from the compressor compartment rear cover 250.

[0179] For example, the buckle can engage with the hook on the bottom plate flange 141 of the bottom plate 140 of the housing 10, thereby achieving a secure connection between the bottom plate 140 and the press chamber rear cover 250.

[0180] Secondly, the connection structure 170 may include a second connection structure 172.

[0181] In this embodiment, the second connection structure 172 may include a recessed groove provided on the rear cover 250 of the compressor chamber, the groove being recessed forward, and the bottom of the groove having a connection hole.

[0182] For example, the second connecting structure 172 can be used to cooperate with the threaded connector 410. The second connecting structure 172 protrudes into the refrigerator 1 to form a recess, and the bottom of the recess is provided with a connecting hole to form a concave threaded interface. The threaded connector 410 can pass through the compressor compartment rear cover 250 through the connecting hole, and after installation, the threaded connector 410 does not protrude from the compressor compartment rear cover 250.

[0183] It should be noted that the second connecting structure 172 near the upper edge of the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment is connected to the back plate 130, the second connecting structure 172 near the lower edge of the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment is connected to the bottom plate flange 141 of the bottom plate 140, and the second connecting structure 172 near the lower corner of the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment is connected to the bottom plate flange 141 of the bottom plate 140 and the bottom support beam 230.

[0184] For example, the connecting hole can be, but is not limited to, a slotted hole, to reduce the requirements for machining accuracy and assembly accuracy.

[0185] Third, the connection structure 170 may include a first connection structure 171 and a second connection structure 172.

[0186] In this embodiment, the connecting structure 170 may include a first connecting structure 171 and a second connecting structure 172. The first connecting structure 171 includes a forward-protruding buckle that engages with a hook on the bottom plate flange 141 of the bottom plate 140 of the outer casing 10. The second connecting structure 172 includes a recessed groove provided in the rear cover 250 of the compressor chamber. The groove is recessed forward and the bottom of the groove is provided with a connecting hole.

[0187] Specifically, the first connection structure 171 may include a buckle provided on the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment. The buckle protrudes into the refrigerator 1 and is used to engage with a hook. A gap is formed between the buckle and other parts of the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment. The hook extends into the gap from one side of the buckle, and the end of the hook abuts against a part of the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment located on the other side of the buckle, thereby forming a stable connection.

[0188] It should be noted that after the hook is engaged with the first connecting structure 171, the hook does not protrude from the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment.

[0189] For example, the buckle can engage with the hook on the bottom plate flange 141 of the bottom plate 140 of the housing 10, thereby achieving a secure connection between the bottom plate 140 and the press chamber rear cover 250.

[0190] For example, the second connecting structure 172 can be used to cooperate with the threaded connector 410. The second connecting structure 172 protrudes into the refrigerator 1 to form a recess, and the bottom of the recess is provided with a connecting hole to form a concave threaded interface. The threaded connector 410 can pass through the compressor compartment rear cover 250 through the connecting hole, and after installation, the threaded connector 410 does not protrude from the compressor compartment rear cover 250.

[0191] It should be noted that the second connecting structure 172 near the upper edge of the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment is connected to the back plate 130, the second connecting structure 172 near the lower edge of the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment is connected to the bottom plate flange 141 of the bottom plate 140, and the second connecting structure 172 near the lower corner of the rear cover 250 of the compressor compartment is connected to the bottom plate flange 141 of the bottom plate 140 and the bottom support beam 230.

[0192] It is understandable that by cooperating with different connection structures 170, the external space occupied by the back plate 130 and the compressor compartment rear cover 250 can be reduced.

[0193] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the back plate 130 is provided with a reinforcing structure 160, which is recessed forward.

[0194] In this embodiment, certain portions of the back panel 130 of the refrigerator 1 are recessed toward the interior of the refrigerator 1 to form a reinforcing structure 160. For example, the reinforcing structure 160 can be a groove or a protrusion. The recessed area is formed by stamping. The shape of the recess can include vertical strips and circles, etc. At the same time, the reinforcing structures 160 are spaced apart to increase the mechanical strength of the back panel 130.

[0195] The reinforcing structure 160 can improve the overall strength of the back panel 130 without increasing its thickness, thereby reducing deformation or damage caused by uneven stress or external impact. The reinforcing structure 160 on the back panel 130 is recessed towards the inside of the refrigerator 1, which can optimize the spatial layout of the back panel 130 of the refrigerator 1, thereby reducing the gap between the back panel 130 of the refrigerator 1 and the wall, and helping the majority of the back panel 130 to abut against the wall.

[0196] Understandably, the back panel 130 is provided with a reinforcing structure 160 and is recessed forward, which can combine the dual advantages of structural enhancement and space optimization, thereby improving the overall strength and stability of the outer shell 10 and effectively optimizing the external space layout of the refrigerator 1.

[0197] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, refrigerator 1 has adjustable feet 30. When the adjustable feet 30 are adjusted to the minimum position, the vertical distance from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the adjustable feet 30 is ΔH2, and the maximum adjustment height difference of the adjustable feet 30 is ΔH3, satisfying: ΔH2≥90mm, 15mm≤ΔH3≤45mm.

[0198] In this embodiment, the adjustable feet 30 are height adjustment devices at the bottom of the refrigerator 1. The adjustable feet 30 can be used to adjust the horizontal height of the refrigerator 1 and can also be used to maintain balance on uneven ground.

[0199] For example, when the refrigerator 1 is installed on a level surface, the multiple adjustable feet 30 can be adjusted to the same height to adjust the level of the refrigerator 1. When the refrigerator 1 is installed on an uneven surface, the multiple adjustable feet 30 can be adjusted to different heights to keep the refrigerator 1 balanced on the uneven surface.

[0200] With the adjustable foot 30 adjusted to the minimum position, the vertical distance ΔH2 from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the adjustable foot 30 satisfies: ΔH2≥90mm, and the vertical distance from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the refrigerator 1 is ΔH1≥120mm, ΔH2>ΔH1, that is, the vertical distance ΔH2 from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the adjustable foot 30 is ≥120mm.

[0201] Furthermore, the maximum adjustment height difference of the adjustable foot 30 is ΔH3, which satisfies: 15mm≤ΔH3≤45mm. Therefore, when the adjustable foot 30 is adjusted to the maximum position, the vertical distance ΔH2 from the top wall of the clearance groove 150 to the bottom surface of the adjustable foot 30 satisfies: ΔH2≥135mm.

[0202] Understandably, the adjustable feet 30 can be adjusted according to different usage environments. The height adjustment capability within a certain range allows the refrigerator 1 to flexibly cope with various application situations, thereby improving the adaptability of the refrigerator 1.
