Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of refrigeration and freezing equipment, and particularly relates to a horizontal freezer with a front viewing window. Background Technology
[0002] In shopping malls, supermarkets, and other similar settings, horizontal freezers with front windows are widely used to display goods. This allows users to see the products inside the freezer without opening the door, avoiding the loss of cold air caused by frequent door opening and closing, and helping to reduce energy consumption. Therefore, horizontal freezers with front windows are widely used in supermarkets and shopping malls.
[0003] In horizontal freezers with a front window, a windshield is typically installed inside the cabinet, corresponding to the front window, to reduce cold air loss at the front window. To improve the windshield's ability to separate cold air and prevent foreign objects from falling into the gap between the front window and the windshield, patent CN215447021U discloses a freezer in which the bottom end of the windshield is engaged in a snap-fit groove at the cabinet opening, and the side of the windshield is detachably connected to a limiting component on the side wall of the cabinet opening, allowing the windshield to be tilted, thereby reducing the gap between the top of the windshield and the front window. However, there are still some shortcomings in this wind deflector setting method: (1) There is still a small gap between the top of the wind deflector and the front window, and small foreign objects can still fall in through the gap. Also, because the gap between the top of the wind deflector and the front window is small, it is difficult to clean foreign objects without removing the wind deflector; (2) Due to the tilt setting of the wind deflector, the wind deflector directs the cold air directly to the top glass door, which is very easy to form condensation on the glass door, affecting the display of goods.
[0004] Therefore, how to prevent the wind deflector from directing cold air to the glass door and causing condensation, while also preventing foreign objects from falling between the wind deflector and the front window, is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a horizontal freezer with a front viewing window. The gap between the wind deflector and the front viewing window is completely covered by a guide shield installed on the top of the wind deflector. At the same time, the guide shield changes the direction of the cold air flow guided by the wind deflector, preventing the cold air from being directly directed to the glass door and preventing condensation.
[0006] This utility model provides a horizontal freezer with a front viewing window, comprising:
[0007] Cabinet;
[0008] The cabinet opening includes a top cabinet opening located at the top of the cabinet body and a front window cabinet opening located on the front side of the cabinet body, with the front window cabinet opening connected to the front side of the top cabinet opening;
[0009] The door is installed at the top cabinet opening;
[0010] The front window is installed at the front window cabinet opening;
[0011] A wind deflector is installed inside the cabinet and is positioned opposite the front window. The bottom end of the wind deflector is inserted into the first slot opened at the front window cabinet opening.
[0012] A guide shield is installed between the top of the wind deflector and the front window. It includes a mounting part detachably connected to the top of the wind deflector, and a guide part and a shielding part connected to the mounting part. The guide part has a guide surface that extends obliquely upward from the top of the wind deflector toward the side of the wind deflector away from the front window. The guide surface is used to convert the cold air that is guided upward along the wind deflector toward the door into a front-to-back flow. The rear end of the shielding part is connected to the mounting part, and the front end of the shielding part is supported on the side of the front window facing the interior of the cabinet to completely cover the gap between the top of the wind deflector and the front window.
[0013] In this technical solution, a guide shield is installed at the top of the wind deflector. The shielding part of the guide shield completely covers the gap between the wind deflector and the front window, which can effectively prevent foreign objects from falling in. At the same time, through the blocking effect of the guide surface set at an angle, the cold air that is guided upward along the wind deflector towards the door can be changed to flow from the front side to the rear side of the cabinet, preventing the cold air from being directly guided to the door and preventing condensation.
[0014] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the guide is connected to the mounting part, the rear side of the guide is sloped to form a guide surface, the rear end of the shield is connected to the top end of the guide, and the top surface of the shield is a slope that slopes downwards from the front end to the rear end. In this technical solution, the mounting part, the guide part, and the shield form a sequentially connected structure. The shield and the mounting part provide support for the guide. At the same time, the sloped top surface of the shield allows condensation generated on the top surface of the shield to flow into the cabinet, preventing condensation from flowing towards the front window and affecting the display effect of the front window.
[0015] In some embodiments, both the guide portion and the shielding portion are sheet-like, integrally formed, and the connection between the guide portion and the shielding portion is smoothly rounded. This technical solution can reduce the weight of the guide shielding component and lower production costs.
[0016] In some embodiments, a snap-fit groove is provided at the bottom of the mounting part, and the top of the wind deflector snaps into the snap-fit groove. This technical solution adopts a snap-fit connection method, which facilitates the installation of the guide shield.
[0017] In some embodiments, the groove walls on opposite sides of the snap-fit groove are provided with snap-fit protrusions for clamping the windshield. This technical solution, by using the snap-fit protrusions to clamp the windshield, can ensure the stability of the snap-fit connection.
[0018] In some embodiments, the mounting part, guide part, and shielding part are integrally formed. This technical solution, by integrally forming the mounting part, guide part, and shielding part, facilitates the production of the guide shielding component.
[0019] In some embodiments, the guide shield is made of a transparent material. This technical solution, by making the guide shield a transparent material, can avoid affecting the product display effect.
[0020] In some embodiments, the front window cabinet opening is provided with a connecting component that is detachably connected to the side of the wind deflector, and the front end of the shielding part abuts against the side of the front window facing the interior of the cabinet. This technical solution, by providing a connecting component to the side of the wind deflector at the front window cabinet opening, and cooperating with the first slot opened at the bottom of the front window cabinet opening and the insertion connection at the bottom of the wind deflector, can ensure the stable installation of the wind deflector. The front end of the shielding part of the guide shielding component only needs to abut against the front window, without the need for a fixed connection, which facilitates the installation of the guide shielding component.
[0021] In some embodiments, the connecting component includes a first limiting protrusion and a second limiting protrusion disposed opposite to each other, forming a second slot between the first and second limiting protrusions for inserting the side portion of the wind deflector. The first and second limiting protrusions abut against the front and rear surfaces of the wind deflector, respectively. This technical solution uses the first and second limiting protrusions to form the second slot, requiring only the side portion of the wind deflector to be inserted into the second slot, eliminating the need for complex operations and making the installation of the wind deflector more convenient and quick.
[0022] In some embodiments, the wind deflector is vertically positioned. In this technical solution, by setting the wind deflector to a vertical position, pressure on the guide shield can be avoided.
[0023] Based on the above technical solution, the horizontal freezer with a front window provided by this utility model can prevent foreign objects from falling between the wind deflector and the front window by installing a guide shield at the top of the wind deflector. At the same time, it can change the direction of the cold air flow guided by the wind deflector, prevent the cold air from being directly guided to the glass door, and prevent condensation.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0041] As attached Figures 1-4 As shown in an illustrative embodiment of the horizontal freezer with a front window of this utility model, the horizontal freezer with a front window includes a cabinet body 1, a cabinet opening 2, a door 3, a front window 4, a wind deflector 5, and a guide shield 6; the cabinet opening 2 includes a top cabinet opening 21 located at the top of the cabinet body 1 and a front window cabinet opening 22 located on the front side of the cabinet body 1, the front window cabinet opening 22 being connected to the front side of the top cabinet opening 21; the door 3 is installed in the top cabinet opening 21; the front window 4 is installed in the front window cabinet opening 22; the wind deflector 5 is disposed inside the cabinet body 1 and is correspondingly disposed to the front window 4, the bottom end of the wind deflector 5 being inserted into the first slot 211 opened in the front window cabinet opening 22; the guide shield 6... The shielding member 6 is installed between the top of the wind deflector 5 and the front window 4. It includes a mounting part 61 detachably connected to the top of the wind deflector 5, and a guide part 62 and a shielding part 63 connected to the mounting part 61. The guide part 62 has a guide surface a that extends obliquely upward from the top of the wind deflector 5 toward the side of the wind deflector 5 away from the front window 4. The guide surface a is used to convert the cold air that is guided upward along the wind deflector 5 toward the door 3 into airflow from the front side to the rear side of the cabinet 1. The rear end of the shielding part 63 is connected to the mounting part 61, and the front end of the shielding part 63 is supported on the side of the front window 4 facing the inside of the cabinet 1 to completely shield the gap between the top of the wind deflector 5 and the front window 4.
[0042] The aforementioned horizontal freezer with a front window has a guide shield 6 installed at the top of its wind deflector 5. The shield 63 of the guide shield 6 completely covers the gap between the wind deflector 5 and the front window 4, which can effectively prevent foreign objects from falling in. At the same time, the guide surface a, which is inclined to the guide part 62, can block the cold air that is directed upward along the wind deflector 5 towards the door 3, so that it flows from the front side of the cabinet 1 to the rear side, preventing the cold air from being directly directed to the door 3 and preventing condensation.
[0043] In the aforementioned horizontal freezer with a front viewing window, it should be noted that the tilt angle of the guide surface a relative to the horizontal plane is preferably 30°~60° to ensure that cold air will not blow towards the door 3 and to avoid condensation on the door 3.
[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom end of the guide part 62 is connected to the mounting part 61. The rear side of the guide part 62 is sloped to form guide surface a. The rear end of the shielding part 63 is connected to the top end of the guide part 62. The top surface of the shielding part 63 is a sloped surface that slopes downwards from the front end to the rear end. This structural design allows the mounting part 61, guide part 62, and shielding part 63 to form a sequentially connected structure. The shielding part 63 and the mounting part 61 provide stable support for the guide part 62, maintaining a stable airflow effect. Furthermore, setting the top surface of the shielding part 63 as a slope allows condensation generated on the top surface of the shielding part 63 to flow down the slope into the cabinet 1, preventing condensation from flowing down the front end of the shielding part 63 towards the front window 4 and affecting the display effect of the front window 4. It should be noted that the angle of inclination of the top surface of the shielding part 63 relative to the horizontal plane is preferably 30°~60° to ensure that the condensation can flow down smoothly.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both the guide portion 62 and the shielding portion 63 are preferably sheet-like, integrally formed, and the connection between the guide portion 62 and the shielding portion 63 is smoothly transitioned. The sheet-like structure of the guide portion 62 and the shielding portion 63 helps to reduce the weight of the guide shielding component 6, simplify the manufacturing process, and reduce production costs. The smooth transition between the guide portion 62 and the shielding portion 63 facilitates the smooth dripping of condensed water and avoids potential safety hazards from sharp edges when users handle goods.
[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the mounting part 61 has a snap-fit groove 611, and the top of the wind deflector 5 snaps into the snap-fit groove 611. The mounting part 61 and the top of the wind deflector 5 are connected by a snap-fit connection, which facilitates the installation of the guide shield 6. Preferably, in order to ensure the stability of the snap-fit connection, such as Figure 5 As shown, the groove walls on both sides of the snap-fit groove 611 are provided with snap-fit protrusions 612 for clamping the wind baffle 5.
[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the front window cabinet opening 22 is provided with a connecting component 7 that can be detachably connected to the side of the wind deflector 5, and the front end of the shielding part 63 abuts against the side of the front window 4 facing the interior of the cabinet 1. By providing the connecting component 7 to connect the side of the wind deflector 5 in the front window cabinet opening 22, and cooperating with the first slot 211 opened at the bottom of the front window cabinet opening 22 to insert into the bottom of the wind deflector 5, the stable installation of the wind deflector 5 can be ensured. The front end of the shielding part 63 of the guide shielding part 6 only needs to abut against the front window 4, without the need for a fixed connection, which facilitates the installation of the guide shielding part 6. It should be noted that the connecting component 7 is preferably in two sets, and the two sets of connecting components 7 are respectively provided on the inner walls of opposite sides of the front window cabinet opening 22 to connect the opposite sides of the wind deflector 5 in the length direction.
[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the connecting component 7 includes a first limiting protrusion 71 and a second limiting protrusion 72 disposed opposite to each other. A second slot is formed between the first limiting protrusion 71 and the second limiting protrusion 72 for the side of the wind deflector 5 to be inserted. The first limiting protrusion 71 and the second limiting protrusion 72 abut against the front surface and the rear surface of the wind deflector 5, respectively. This design makes the installation of the wind deflector 5 more convenient and quick. The user only needs to insert the side of the wind deflector 5 into the second slot, without complicated operations. At the same time, the first limiting protrusion 71 and the second limiting protrusion 72 abut against the front surface and the rear surface of the wind deflector 5, respectively, which can restrict the movement of the wind deflector 5 in the front-back direction, prevent the wind deflector 5 from shifting, and ensure the stability of the wind deflector 5 after installation.
[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the shielding part 63 of the guide shield 6 abuts against the front window 4 but is not fixedly connected, the wind deflector 5 is preferably arranged vertically, which can prevent the wind deflector 5 from applying pressure to the guide shield 6 and ensure the stability of the abutment structure between the shielding part 63 of the guide shield 6 and the front window 4.
[0050] Furthermore, it should be noted that the mounting part 61, the guide part 62, and the shielding part 63 are preferably integrally formed to facilitate the production of the guide shielding part 6.
[0051] Furthermore, the guide shield 6 is preferably made of a transparent material to avoid affecting the product display effect.
[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
[0053] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
