Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerators, and in particular to a refrigerator middle partition and a refrigerator using the same. Background Technology

[0002] A four-door refrigerator is a type of refrigerator where both the refrigerator and freezer compartments are controlled by two doors. Some of these refrigerators have pull-out drawers on both sides of the refrigerator compartment. This requires a partition in the middle of the refrigerator cavity to accommodate the drawer tracks. Traditionally, the partition and the refrigerator body are manufactured as a single piece. However, this method has drawbacks: the mold is complex, the partition is large, and if deformation or other defects occur, the entire refrigerator body will be scrapped. Therefore, it requires a high level of manufacturing skill. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a refrigerator middle partition that can be manufactured independently, thereby enabling the production of refrigerators with partitions through assembly.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the problem is: a refrigerator middle partition, including a partition body, wherein a through hole is provided in the middle of the partition body to divide the partition body into an upper partition section and a lower partition section connected at the front and rear ends. Tracks are provided on both the left and right sides of the upper partition section and the lower partition section. A locking position is provided at the bottom rear end of the lower partition section. A side mounting plate is provided on one side of the front end face of the partition body, which is arranged along the height direction and is used to cooperate with the vertical beam of the refrigerator. The side mounting plate is provided with a through mounting hole. The rear end face of the partition body is a fitting surface that is adapted to the shape of the air duct plate surface inside the refrigerator.

[0005] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a first topological groove is provided at the top of the upper partition section, and a second topological groove is provided at the bottom of the lower partition section. A drainage hole extending to the bottom of the upper partition section and communicating with the top of the through hole is provided at the bottom of the first topological groove. Several horizontally arranged first reinforcing ribs are provided in both the first and second topological grooves.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the inner side of the side-mounted clamping plate is provided with a number of second reinforcing ribs, and the edges of all the second reinforcing ribs together form an inclined mating surface located on the inner side of the side-mounted clamping plate.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a positioning groove that cooperates with the vertical beam of the refrigerator is provided below the side mounting plate.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, several rails are provided on the left and right sides of the upper and lower partition sections along the height direction. The rails are formed by two adjacent rails. The rails are composed of two upper and lower plates. Several third reinforcing ribs are provided between the two plates. The upper and lower ends of the third reinforcing ribs are respectively connected to the inner walls of the two plates. The inner section of the third reinforcing ribs is connected to the surface of the upper or lower partition section.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a notch is provided at the middle of the outer end of the third reinforcing rib to form a "V" shaped structure.

[0010] A refrigerator includes a cabinet, a cavity and an air duct plate located on the inner wall of the cavity, a vertical beam at the front center of the cavity, and a middle partition of any of the above-mentioned refrigerators installed in the cavity. The bottom of the air duct plate is provided with a slot, and one side of the rear end face of the vertical beam is provided with an embedding groove. The embedding groove is provided with bolt holes. The fitting surface is attached to the surface of the air duct plate. The locking position is inserted into the slot. The side-mounted locking plate is embedded into the embedding groove through the side of the vertical beam. The outer side of the side-mounted locking plate is provided with a locking bolt that passes through the mounting hole and is screwed into the bolt hole.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During assembly, the adaptable surface of the rear end of the partition body is attached to the surface of the air duct plate on the inner wall of the cavity, and the locking slot is embedded in the slot at the bottom of the air duct plate. At this time, the side mounting plate at the front end of the partition body is located on the outside of the side of the vertical beam with the embedding slot. Then, the side mounting plate is tapped towards the embedding slot of the vertical beam, so that the side mounting plate is embedded in the embedding slot. After that, the locking bolt is passed through the mounting hole on the side mounting plate and screwed into the bolt hole in the embedding slot to complete the installation. This method is convenient to install. By designing the refrigerator middle partition as an independent disassembly and assembly component, the defective middle partition of the refrigerator can avoid the entire cabinet being defective. Through the tracks on both sides of the upper and lower partition sections, drawers can be arranged at the upper and lower ends of the space on both sides of the partition body in the cavity to place items. At the same time, through the through hole set in the middle of the partition, some spaces on both sides of the cavity can be connected through the through hole, so that longer items can be placed in the refrigerator, and the compatibility is stronger.

[0018] Reference Figures 1 to 3 A refrigerator middle partition, comprising: The partition body 10 has a through hole 11 in the middle that runs from left to right, dividing the partition body 10 into an upper partition section 12 and a lower partition section 13 that are connected at the front and rear ends. Tracks 20 are provided on both the left and right sides of the upper partition section 12 and the lower partition section 13. A locking position 14 is provided at the bottom rear end of the lower partition section 13. A side mounting plate 15 is provided on one side of the front face of the partition body 10, which is arranged along the height direction and is used to cooperate with the vertical beam 50 of the refrigerator. The side mounting plate 15 has a through mounting hole 151. The rear face of the partition body 10 is a fitting surface that is adapted to the shape of the surface of the air duct plate 40 inside the refrigerator body 30.

[0019] This utility model also discloses a refrigerator, including a cabinet 30, a cavity 31 and an air duct plate 40 located on the inner wall of the cavity 31 are provided inside the cabinet 30, a vertical beam 50 is provided at the middle of the front end of the cavity 31, and a refrigerator middle partition as described above is installed in the cavity 31. The bottom of the air duct plate 40 is provided with a slot 41, and one side of the rear end face of the vertical beam 50 is provided with an embedding groove. The embedding groove is provided with a bolt hole. The fitting surface is attached to the surface of the air duct plate 40. The locking position 14 is inserted into the slot 41. The side mounting plate 15 is embedded into the embedding groove through the side of the vertical beam 50. The outer side of the side mounting plate 15 is provided with a locking bolt that passes through the mounting hole 151 and is screwed into the bolt hole.

[0020] During assembly, the mating surface of the rear end of the partition body 10 is attached to the surface of the air duct plate 40 on the inner wall of the cavity 31, and the locking position 14 is embedded into the locking groove 41 at the bottom of the air duct plate 40. At this time, the side mounting plate 15 at the front end of the partition body 10 is located on the outer side of the vertical beam 50 with the embedding groove. Then, the side mounting plate 15 is tapped towards the embedding groove of the vertical beam 50, so that the side mounting plate 15 is embedded into the embedding groove. Afterwards, the locking bolt is passed through the mounting hole 151 on the side mounting plate 15 and screwed into the bolt hole in the embedding groove to complete the installation. This method of installation is convenient. By designing the refrigerator middle partition as an independent disassembly and assembly component, it avoids the entire cabinet 30 from being defective due to the defect of the refrigerator middle partition. The tracks 20 on both sides of the upper partition 12 and the lower partition 13 allow drawers to be arranged at the upper and lower ends of the space on both sides of the partition body 10 in the cabinet cavity 31 for placing items. At the same time, the through hole 11 in the middle of the partition allows the space on both sides of the cabinet cavity 31 to be connected through the through hole 11, which makes it easier to place longer items in the refrigerator and improves compatibility.

[0021] To save materials and ensure the strength of the partition body 10, it is preferable that the top of the upper partition section 12 is provided with a first topological groove 121 and the bottom of the lower partition section 13 is provided with a second topological groove 131. Both the first and second topological grooves 121 and 131 are provided with several horizontally arranged first reinforcing ribs 16. This minimizes the material usage of the upper and lower partition sections 12 and 13. However, because the first topological groove 121 is located at the top of the upper partition section 12, condensate tends to accumulate therein. Therefore, it is preferable that the bottom of the first topological groove 121 is provided with a drain hole 122 extending to the bottom of the upper partition section 12 and communicating with the top of the through hole 11, thereby preventing the accumulation of condensate.

[0022] Further optimization involves providing a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 152 on the inner side of the side-mounted clamping plate 15. The edges of all the second reinforcing ribs 152 together form an inclined mating surface on the inner side of the side-mounted clamping plate 15. This strengthens the side-mounted clamping plate 15 and reduces interference with the edge of the vertical beam 50 through the inclined mating surface formed by the second reinforcing ribs 152, thus making it easier to embed into the groove of the vertical beam 50. Preferably, a positioning groove 153 is provided below the side-mounted clamping plate 15 to mate with the vertical beam 50 of the refrigerator, resulting in a more precise fit with the vertical beam 50.

[0023] To further optimize the design and reduce the material usage of the track 20 while ensuring its strength, it is preferable that several rails are provided along the height direction on both the left and right sides of the upper partition 12 and the lower partition 13. Adjacent rails form the track 20. Each rail is composed of two upper and lower plates 21, with several third reinforcing ribs 22 positioned between them. The upper and lower ends of each third reinforcing rib 22 are connected to the inner walls of the two plates 21, and the inner section of each third reinforcing rib 22 is connected to the surface of either the upper partition 12 or the lower partition 13. To further optimize material usage, it is preferable that a notch 23 is provided at the center of the outer end of each third reinforcing rib 22, thus forming a "V"-shaped structure.

[0024] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
