Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator technology, specifically a novel refrigerator shell panel structure. Background Technology
[0002] A freezer is a device used to store and preserve food at low temperatures. There are two types: household and commercial. Commercial freezers are used in restaurants, bars, food processing plants, and supermarkets. Their outer shell is the outermost layer of the freezer and serves as a decorative element.
[0003] In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventor discovered the following problems with the existing technology: 1. Most existing freezer cabinet panels are assembled and fixed by a four-sided assembly method. This assembly method is affected by multiple components, resulting in uneven splicing, which affects the appearance. At the same time, multiple components require different manufacturing processes, which greatly increases the production cost of freezer cabinet panels; 2. The fixing structure of some freezer cabinet panels is mostly a plug-in fixing installation structure. In order to fix it better, it is usually necessary to further fix the panels together with screws or fixing pins at the plug joints. The operation is relatively cumbersome, and the screws or fixing pins are exposed, which affects the overall aesthetics. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a novel refrigerator shell panel structure to address the problems mentioned in the background art, which state that most existing refrigerator shell panels are assembled and fixed using a four-sided assembly method. This assembly method is affected by multiple components, resulting in uneven splicing. Furthermore, multiple components require different manufacturing processes, significantly increasing the production cost of the refrigerator shell panel. Additionally, many refrigerator shell panels use a plug-in fixing structure, which requires screws or fixing pins to further secure the panels at the plug joints. These exposed screws or fixing pins affect the overall aesthetics. To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel refrigerator shell panel structure, including an outer shell assembly and a back panel. Each of the four corners of one side of the back panel has a mounting base. The four mounting bases have cavities inside, and the inner walls of the four cavities have sliding grooves. Two movable plates are arranged inside the four cavities, with a spring between the two movable plates. Slider blocks are arranged at both ends of the two movable plates, and a retaining plate is arranged on the side of the two movable plates away from the spring.
[0005] The outer shell assembly includes a U-shaped shell panel with a groove on one side. Each of the four corners of the groove has a mounting groove, and the two inner walls of the four mounting grooves have slots. The slots and the mounting plate are connected by a snap-fit structure. The internal dimensions of the cavity are the same as the external dimensions of the movable plate.
[0006] More preferably, the groove and the slider are configured to slide together.
[0007] More preferably, the mounting base and the movable plate are symmetrical about the vertical center line of the back plate to the spring.
[0008] More preferably, the external dimensions of the mounting base and the internal dimensions of the mounting groove are the same.
[0009] According to the foregoing description of this solution, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model include: This technical solution, through the cooperation of mounting base, mounting groove and clamping plate, enables the new refrigerator shell panel structure to quickly install and fix the U-shaped shell panel and back panel during use, greatly improving the convenience of back panel installation. It also solves the problem of uneven splicing caused by the four-sided splicing method of refrigerator shell panel, which is affected by multiple parts, thereby significantly reducing the production cost of refrigerator and improving the product appearance.
[0010] This technical solution, through the cooperation of a clamping plate, spring, and movable plate, enables the new refrigerator shell panel structure to further fix the back panel and U-shaped shell panel during use, significantly improving the stability of the back panel during installation and use. It avoids the problem of screws or fixing pins being exposed at the refrigerator box joints, which would affect the overall aesthetics, thus meeting the requirements of the new refrigerator shell panel structure.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel refrigerator shell panel structure, including an outer shell assembly 1 and a back panel 2. Each of the four corners of one side of the back panel 2 is provided with a mounting base 3. The four mounting bases 3 have cavities 4 inside. The two inner walls of the four cavities 4 are provided with sliding grooves 5. Two movable plates 6 are provided inside the four cavities 4. A spring 7 is provided between the two movable plates 6. Slider 8 is provided at both ends of the two movable plates 6. A retaining plate 9 is provided on the side of the two movable plates 6 away from the spring 7.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer shell assembly 1 includes a U-shaped shell panel 101. A groove 102 is provided on one side of the U-shaped shell panel 101. Mounting grooves 103 are provided at the four corners of the groove 102. The two inner walls of the four mounting grooves 103 are provided with slots 104.
[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the slot 104 and the card plate 9 are designed with a snap-fit structure; this enables quick installation and fixation between the U-shaped shell panel 101 and the back plate 2, greatly improving the ease of installation of the back plate 2 and solving the problem of uneven splicing caused by the four-sided assembly of the freezer shell panel due to the influence of multiple parts, thereby significantly reducing the production cost of the freezer.
[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, the internal dimensions of the cavity 4 are consistent with the external dimensions of the moving plate 6; this ensures that the moving plate 6 moves in a single direction, preventing it from shifting or tilting during movement, thereby increasing the stability of the moving plate 6 during movement.
[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, the slide 5 and the slider 8 are connected by a sliding connection; this increases the stability of the moving plate 6 during movement and prevents the moving plate 6 from rotating during movement.
[0022] like Figure 4As shown, the mounting base 3 and the movable plate 6 are symmetrical about the vertical center line of the back plate 2 with respect to the spring 7; this further fixes the back plate 2 and the U-shaped shell panel 101, greatly improving the stability of the back plate 2 during installation and use. It avoids the problem of screws or fixing pins being exposed at the joint of the freezer box, which would affect the overall aesthetics, thus meeting the structural requirements of the new freezer box shell panel.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the external dimensions of the mounting base 3 are consistent with the internal dimensions of the mounting groove 103; this increases the stability of the back plate 2 during installation and prevents the back plate 2 from being misaligned due to the influence of multiple components during installation.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when installing the back plate 2 and the U-shaped shell panel 101, the mounting seats 3 at the four corners of one side of the back plate 2 are aligned with the mounting slots 103 at the four corners of the groove 102 on one side of the U-shaped shell panel 101. Then, the back plate 2 is inserted into the mounting slots 103 by driving the mounting seats 3. When the inner wall of the mounting slot 103 contacts the retaining plates 9, the two retaining plates 9 will be resisted by the inner wall of the mounting slot 103. The retaining plates 9 drive the moving plates 6 to move into the cavity 4 under the cooperation of the sliding groove 5 and the slider 8. At the same time, the two moving plates 6 compress the spring 7. As the mounting seats 3 continue to be inserted and moved, when the mounting seats 3 drive the retaining plates 9 to the slot 104, the spring 7 uses its own elastic structure. The movable plate 6 drives the clamping plate 9 to engage with the inside of the slot 104 under the cooperation of the slider 8 and the slide groove 5. The engagement and fixation between the slot 104 and the clamping plate 9 enables quick installation and fixation between the U-shaped shell panel 101 and the back panel 2, greatly improving the convenience of the back panel 2 during installation. This solves the problem of uneven splicing caused by the four-sided assembly of the freezer shell panel due to the influence of multiple parts, thereby significantly reducing the production cost of the freezer. At the same time, it avoids the problem of screws or fixing pins being exposed at the joints of the freezer, which affects the overall aesthetics. This meets the structural requirements of the new type of freezer shell panel.
