Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] Refrigerators with partitions have long been known, comprising: a shell with an internal filling space and an injection hole on the shell; foaming material injected into the filling space through the injection hole, which foams and integrates with the shell; and a connecting part for detachable connection to the refrigerator's foamed body. Such refrigerators do not require pre-installation of the body before foaming, offering flexible installation and thus expanding the design space for the refrigerator's internal structure. They also offer good insulation and are relatively inexpensive.

[0003] However, this partition is a modular design, with a complex structure, numerous components, and complicated operations. Furthermore, the partition requires separate foaming, resulting in a large investment in molds. Additionally, the modular design can easily deform due to excessive pressure during the foaming process. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a refrigerator with a false beam that has a simple structure, is not easily deformed, is easy to operate, reduces installation time, and has excellent sealing and heat insulation effects.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the refrigerator of this utility model includes an inner liner, a mounting bracket installed on the top of the inner liner, a dummy beam installed on the inner liner via the mounting bracket and having a crossbeam and a longitudinal beam, a front tube installed around the periphery of the opening of the inner liner and held by the inner liner and the dummy beam, a first front beam installed on the longitudinal beam, an embedded part embedded in the crossbeam, and a second front beam installed on the crossbeam. The crossbeam and the longitudinal beam are formed as one unit, and foam material is filled between the dummy beam and the first front beam and the second front beam.

[0006] In the aforementioned refrigerator, the dummy beam is a one-piece design, directly integrated with the front beam, front tubes, and inner liner. This reduces the number of parts, increases production efficiency, simplifies the structure, and simplifies installation, reducing time and effort. Furthermore, as a one-piece design, the dummy beam will not deform due to the filling with foam material, thus minimizing the risk of large gaps and poor appearance caused by deformation. Additionally, the foam material filling the space between the dummy beam and the front beam provides excellent sealing and insulation, reducing the likelihood of refrigerator sweating.

[0007] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, the mounting bracket can be fixed to the top of the inner liner with screws, and the fixing point between the mounting bracket and the inner liner can be sealed with sponge. This simplifies installation and further improves sealing.

[0008] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, the dummy beam can be fixed to the mounting bracket and the inner liner by screws, and the fixing points of the dummy beam to the mounting bracket and the inner liner can be sealed with sponge. This simplifies installation and further improves sealing.

[0009] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, the front tube can also be fixed with aluminum foil tape.

[0010] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, the first front beam and the longitudinal beam can be fixed together by snap-fit, and the assembly point of the first front beam and the longitudinal beam can be sealed with sponge. This simplifies installation and further improves sealing.

[0011] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, the embedded part and the second front beam can be fixed together by double-sided tape to form the second front beam assembly.

[0012] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, the second front beam assembly can be fixed to the crossbeam with a snap-fit ​​mechanism, and the assembly point between the second front beam assembly and the crossbeam can be sealed with sponge. This simplifies installation and further improves sealing.

[0013] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, the two ends of the crossbeam in the horizontal direction can be installed on the inner liner, and the assembly points of the two ends with the inner liner are sealed with sponge. This further improves the sealing performance.

[0014] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, injection ports for injecting foaming material can be formed at both ends. This allows the foaming material to be injected together with the inner liner, improving foaming efficiency.

[0015] Alternatively, in the refrigerator described above, the inner liner may be a freezer inner liner.

[0016] According to this utility model, a refrigerator with a false beam can be provided, which has a simple structure, is not easily deformed, is easy to operate, reduces the installation time, and has excellent sealing and heat insulation effects. Attached Figure Description

[0028] In addition, the inner liner 10 here is the inner liner of the freezer compartment. However, it is not limited to this; the inner liner 10 can also be the inner liner of the refrigerator compartment, etc.

[0029] In addition, the crossbeam 301 and the longitudinal beam 302 are formed as a single unit. Foam material (not shown) is filled between the dummy beam 30 and the front beam 40 (i.e., the first front beam 401 and the second front beam 402).

[0030] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the embedded part 50 is formed as a hollow box with one end open, and switches and the like can be installed in the hollow interior space of the embedded part 50.

Furthermore, as a one-piece dummy beam, it will not deform due to the filling of foam material, thus reducing the likelihood of large gaps and poor appearance caused by deformation. Moreover, the space between the dummy beam and the front beam is filled with foam material, providing excellent sealing and insulation, and minimizing problems such as refrigerator sweating.

[0032] In this embodiment, it is preferable that the mounting bracket 20 is fixed to the top of the inner liner 10 with screws, and the fixing part between the mounting bracket 20 and the inner liner 10 is sealed with sponge. However, it is not limited to this; the mounting bracket and the inner liner can also be fixed by any known method such as bonding with adhesive, welding, or snap-fitting. In addition, the fixing part between the mounting bracket and the inner liner can be sealed with any sealing material other than sponge.

Furthermore, the fixing points of the dummy beam to the mounting bracket and the inner liner can be sealed with any sealing material other than sponge. This simplifies the installation process and further improves the sealing performance.

[0034] In this embodiment, it is preferable that the front tube 60 is fixed with aluminum foil tape. However, it is not limited to this, and the front tube may also be fixed with metal tape such as copper foil tape.

Furthermore, the assembly area of ​​the first front beam and the longitudinal beam can be sealed with any sealing material other than sponge. This simplifies the installation process and further improves the sealing performance.

[0036] In this embodiment, the embedded part 50 and the second front beam 402 are preferably fixed together by double-sided tape to form the second front beam assembly. In this case, the second front beam assembly is snapped together with the crossbeam 301, and the assembly area between the second front beam assembly and the crossbeam 301 is sealed with sponge.

Furthermore, the assembly area between the second front beam assembly and the crossbeam can be sealed with any sealing material other than sponge. This simplifies the installation process and further improves the sealing performance.

[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the crossbeam 301 has two transverse ends 301a. Preferably, the two ends 301a of the crossbeam 301 are mounted on the inner liner 10, and the assembly points of the two ends 301a with the inner liner 10 are sealed with sponge. However, it is not limited to this, and the assembly points of the two ends with the inner liner can also be sealed with any sealing material other than sponge. This can further improve the sealing performance.

[0038] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, injection ports 301b for injecting foaming material are formed at both ends 301a. This allows the foaming material to be injected together with the inner liner, improving foaming efficiency.
