Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical technology, and more particularly to a refrigeration device. Background Technology

[0002] Refrigeration equipment such as refrigerators and freezers are essential equipment in people's production and daily life. They can be used to store food and beverages, build cold chain transportation systems, and preserve vaccines, plasma, and biological samples.

[0003] With the development of intelligent refrigeration equipment, display devices are usually installed on the cabinet of refrigeration equipment. These display devices can be used to display information such as the temperature and operating mode inside the refrigeration equipment, so that users can keep track of the operating status of the refrigeration equipment.

[0004] However, it is difficult to remove and install the display device from the cabinet of the refrigeration equipment, making it difficult to repair or replace the display device, and it may also damage the cabinet. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application discloses a refrigeration device that allows for easy installation and removal of a display device from the refrigeration device's housing, facilitating the repair or replacement of the display device and preventing damage to the housing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses a refrigeration device, comprising: a housing, an inner liner, a door, a refrigeration system, and a display device. The inner liner is disposed within the housing, and its inner wall encloses a storage space. The door is closable and disposed on the housing to open or close the storage space. The refrigeration system is disposed within the housing and is used for refrigeration to lower the temperature within the storage space. The display device is detachably connected to the inner liner. The inner liner has a mounting groove with a mounting opening located on the inner wall of the inner liner and communicating with the storage space. The display device is disposed in the mounting groove, and at least a portion of the display device's structure passes through the mounting opening and extends into the storage space. The display device includes a device body and a display panel. The device body is located in a mounting groove and has a first snap-fit ​​structure. The first snap-fit ​​structure snaps into the inner liner in the depth direction of the mounting groove to limit the displacement of the device body in the depth direction of the mounting groove. The display panel is disposed on the device body and located in the storage space. The inner walls of the display panel and the inner liner together form a disassembly port. One side of the disassembly port is connected to the storage space, and the other side of the disassembly port is connected to the mounting port. The first snap-fit ​​structure is disposed in the disassembly port so that a disassembly tool can be inserted into the mounting port from the disassembly port and abut against the first snap-fit ​​structure to release the first snap-fit ​​structure from the inner liner.

[0007] With the above configuration, the display device is installed on the cabinet by snapping the first snap-fit ​​structure to the inner liner. The disassembly tool can be inserted into the installation port through the disassembly port and abut against the first snap-fit ​​structure to disengage the first snap-fit ​​structure and the inner liner. This makes it easier to remove the display device from the cabinet for maintenance or replacement, and avoids damage to the inner liner or cabinet during the disassembly and assembly of the display device.

[0008] Optionally, the display panel is provided with a disassembly groove, the extension direction of the disassembly groove is at an angle to the depth direction of the mounting groove, and the disassembly groove and the inner wall of the inner liner together form a disassembly opening.

[0009] With the above setup, users or maintenance personnel can easily remove the display device from the cabinet for repair or replacement, avoiding damage to the inner casing or cabinet during the disassembly and assembly of the display device.

[0010] Optionally, the disassembly slot is located on the side of the display panel facing the inner wall of the inner liner.

[0011] The above settings can reduce or even eliminate the impact of the disassembly port on the appearance of the display device, which helps to ensure the visual effect of the cooling equipment.

[0012] Alternatively, the side of the disassembly port that connects to the storage space faces the bottom of the refrigeration unit.

[0013] The above design prevents condensate from flowing into the mounting slot and into the display device from the disassembly port, thus avoiding water damage to the display device and extending its service life.

[0014] Optionally, the first snap-fit ​​structure includes an elastic arm, which is disposed on the device body and can undergo elastic deformation. The elastic arm is provided with a snap-fit ​​part, and the elastic arm is configured to snap the snap-fit ​​part onto the inner liner by its own elastic force. At least part of the snap-fit ​​part passes through the installation port and extends into the disassembly port.

[0015] With the above configuration, the elastic arm securely engages the locking part with the inner liner, thereby allowing the display device to be securely installed on the inner liner.

[0016] Optionally, the snap-fit ​​part includes multiple snap-fit ​​slots provided on the elastic arm. The multiple snap-fit ​​slots are arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the elastic arm, and each snap-fit ​​slot is located at a different position in the first direction, so that the multiple snap-fit ​​slots are stepped. The inner liner snaps into any one of the snap-fit ​​slots, and there is an angle between the first direction and the depth direction of the mounting groove.

[0017] With the above settings, the inner liner can be engaged with different slots to adjust the depth of the device body inserted into the mounting slot, so that the display device can be adapted and installed in mounting slots of different depths.

[0018] Optionally, the elastic arm has a first elastic part and a second elastic part connected to each other. The first end of the first elastic part is connected to the device body, and the second end of the first elastic part is spaced apart from the device body. The first end and the second end of the first elastic part are arranged in the extending direction of the first elastic part. The first end of the second elastic part is connected to the second end of the first elastic part. A snap-fit ​​part is provided at the second end of the second elastic part, and the second end of the second elastic part is closer to the device body than the first end of the second elastic part. The first end and the second end of the second elastic part are arranged in the extending direction of the second elastic part, and there is an angle between the extending direction of the first elastic part and the extending direction of the second elastic part.

[0019] The above design improves the structural strength of the elastic arm and reduces the probability of damage to the first snap-fit ​​structure during the assembly and disassembly of the display device. Furthermore, it ensures a more secure snap-fit ​​onto the inner casing, limiting the displacement of the device body in the depth direction of the mounting groove and allowing the display device to be securely mounted on the inner casing.

[0020] Optionally, the mounting groove has a bottom wall and a first side wall and a second side wall spaced apart in a first direction. The first side wall and the second side wall are both connected to the bottom wall and are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the bottom wall. The inner liner includes a first snap-fit ​​plate. The extension direction of the first snap-fit ​​plate is parallel to the first direction. The first snap-fit ​​plate has a first connecting end and a first snap-fit ​​end arranged in the first direction. The first connecting end is connected to the first side wall. The first snap-fit ​​end is closer to the second side wall than the first connecting end. The first snap-fit ​​structure snaps into the first snap-fit ​​end. There is an angle between the first direction and the depth direction of the mounting groove.

[0021] With the above settings, the first snap-fit ​​structure snaps into the first snap-fit ​​plate of the inner liner, so that the display device is snapped into the mounting slot.

[0022] Optionally, the first snap-fit ​​structure contacts the side of the first snap-fit ​​plate facing the bottom wall of the slot, and the display panel contacts the side of the first snap-fit ​​plate facing the storage space.

[0023] With the above configuration, the first snap-fit ​​structure and the display panel contact the first snap-fit ​​plate from two opposite directions to limit the displacement of the device body in the depth direction of the mounting groove, so that the display device can be more securely snapped onto the inner tube.

[0024] Optionally, the inner liner also includes a second snap-fit ​​plate, the extension direction of which is parallel to the first direction. The second snap-fit ​​plate has a second connecting end and a second snap-fit ​​end arranged in the first direction. The second connecting end is connected to the second sidewall, and the second snap-fit ​​end is closer to the first sidewall than the second connecting end. The device body also has a second snap-fit ​​structure, which is arranged in the first direction and positioned opposite each other on both sides of the device body. The first end of the second snap-fit ​​structure is connected to the device body, and the second end of the second snap-fit ​​structure contacts the side of the second snap-fit ​​plate facing the bottom wall of the slot. The display panel contacts the side of the second snap-fit ​​plate facing the storage space.

[0025] With the above configuration, the second snap-fit ​​structure snaps into the second snap-fit ​​plate of the inner liner, so that the display device is snapped into the mounting slot. Attached Figure Description

[0046] As mentioned in the background section, refrigerators, freezers, and other refrigeration equipment are indispensable in people's daily lives and production. They are used to store food and beverages, build cold chain transportation systems, and preserve vaccines, plasma, and biological samples. With the development of intelligent refrigeration equipment, display devices are usually installed on the cabinets of these devices to show information such as temperature and operating mode, allowing users to monitor the equipment's status. However, removing and installing display devices from the cabinets is difficult, hindering repair or replacement, and may even damage the cabinet itself.

[0047] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a refrigeration device that solves the issues in related technologies where it is difficult to install or remove the display device from the cabinet of the refrigeration device, making it inconvenient to repair or replace the display device, and potentially causing damage to the cabinet.

[0048] The refrigeration equipment in this application embodiment may include at least one of the following devices with refrigeration function: refrigerator, freezer, food display case, or cold storage box. The following embodiments of this application will use a refrigerator as an example of the refrigeration equipment, but of course, the refrigeration equipment is not limited to refrigerators.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6The refrigeration device 10 of this application embodiment includes a cabinet, an inner liner 100, a door, and a refrigeration system. The inner liner 100 is disposed within the cabinet, and its inner wall encloses a storage space 110. The door is closable on the cabinet to open or close the storage space 110. The refrigeration system is disposed within the cabinet and is used for refrigeration to lower the temperature within the storage space 110. Thus, the storage space 110 can be used to store food or beverages, etc., to achieve refrigeration or freezing functions.

[0050] The refrigeration equipment 10 also includes a display device 200, which is detachably connected to the inner liner 100. The inner liner 100 is provided with a mounting groove 120, which has a mounting opening 121. The mounting opening 121 is located on the inner wall of the inner liner 100 and connects the mounting groove 120 with the storage space 110. The display device 200 is disposed in the mounting groove 120, and at least part of the structure of the display device 200 passes through the mounting opening 121 and extends into the storage space 110.

[0051] The display device 200 includes a device body 210 and a display panel 220. The device body 210 is located in the mounting groove 120. The device body 210 has a first snap-fit ​​structure 211. The first snap-fit ​​structure 211 snaps into the inner liner 100 in the depth direction of the mounting groove 120 to limit the displacement of the device body 210 in the depth direction of the mounting groove 120, so that the display device 200 is snapped onto the inner liner 100.

[0052] The display panel 220 is disposed on the device body 210 and located in the storage space 110. The display panel 220 and the inner wall of the inner liner 100 together form a disassembly port 300. One side of the disassembly port 300 is connected to the storage space 110, and the other side of the disassembly port 300 is connected to the installation port 121. The first snap-fit ​​structure 211 is disposed in the disassembly port 300 so that the disassembly tool can be inserted into the installation port 121 from the disassembly port 300 and abut against the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 so that the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 and the inner liner 100 are disengaged.

[0053] With the above configuration, the display device 200 is snapped onto the inner liner 100 via the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 and installed on the cabinet. The disassembly tool can be inserted into the installation port 121 through the disassembly port 300 and abut against the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 to release the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 from the inner liner 100. This makes it easier to remove the display device 200 from the cabinet for maintenance or replacement, and avoids damage to the inner liner 100 or the cabinet during the disassembly and assembly of the display device 200.

[0054] The components and technical solutions of the refrigeration device 10 of this application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. For ease of explanation, the height direction of the refrigeration device 10 is defined as the first direction x. Correspondingly, the height direction of the inner liner 100 is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction x.

[0055] When the display device 200 is installed in the inner tube 100, the length direction of the display device 200 can be parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction x, or the width direction of the display device 200 can be parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction x. The following embodiments of this application will be described using the example of the length direction of the display device 200 being parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction x.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 The refrigeration equipment 10 includes a housing (not shown in the figure), which supports and protects other components within the refrigeration equipment 10. An inner liner 100 is disposed within the housing, and the inner wall of the inner liner 100 encloses a storage space 110. A foam layer for heat insulation is provided between the outer wall of the inner liner 100 and the housing to maintain the temperature within the storage space 110. The foam layer can be made of a material with low thermal conductivity, such as rigid polyurethane foam. A door (not shown in the figure) is openable and closable on the housing to open or close the storage space 110 for easy access by the user for food or beverages.

[0057] The refrigeration equipment 10 also includes a refrigeration system (not shown in the figure) located in the enclosure. The refrigeration system may include devices such as a compressor, a heat exchanger, and a capillary tube. The refrigeration system can exchange heat with the external environment of the refrigeration equipment 10 to reduce the temperature of the internal storage space 110 of the refrigeration equipment 10, enabling the refrigeration equipment 10 to perform functions such as refrigeration or freezing.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner liner 100 is provided with a mounting groove 120, which has a mounting opening 121 located on the inner wall of the inner liner 100. The mounting opening 121 connects the storage space 110 and the mounting groove 120, and the mounting groove 120 is closer to the outer side of the inner liner 100 than the storage space 110. For example, the inner liner 100 may be provided with a mounting member 150, with the mounting groove 120 located on the mounting member 150 and the mounting opening 121 located on the inner liner 100. The mounting member 150 is connected to the outer wall of the inner liner 100 to connect the mounting groove 120 and the mounting opening 121.

[0059] In the above example, both the mounting groove 120 and the mounting opening 121 can be located on one side of the inner liner 100 in the width direction of the refrigeration device 10. Correspondingly, the depth direction of the mounting groove 120 forms an angle with the first direction x, and the depth direction of the mounting groove 120 can be perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the first direction x. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting groove 120 and the mounting opening 121 can also be located in other positions.

[0060] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The refrigeration equipment 10 also includes a display device 200, which has a display function and can be used to display information such as temperature and operating mode within the refrigeration equipment 10. The display device 200 includes a device body 210 and a display panel 220 disposed on the device body 210. The display panel 220 may be equipped with at least one device capable of display function, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a light-emitting diode (LED). The display panel 220 may also be equipped with buttons, allowing users to control the temperature or operating mode within the refrigeration equipment 10. The device body 210 may be equipped with electronic components such as a controller, voltage regulator, or AC / DC converter to realize the display and control functions of the display device 200.

[0061] In the above example, the length of the display panel 220 can be greater than the length of the device body 210, and the width of the display panel 220 can be greater than the width of the device body 210. On a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the display device 200, the projection of the device body 210 overlaps with the projection of the display panel 220, and the projection of the device body 210 is located inside the projection of the display panel 220.

[0062] The display device 200 can be inserted into the mounting slot 120 through the mounting port 121 and installed on the inner tube 100. When the display device 200 is installed in the inner tube 100, the display panel 220 is located within the storage space 110 to facilitate the user's access to the information displayed on the display panel 220. The device body 210 is located on the side of the display panel 220 facing away from the storage space 110 and is located within the mounting slot 120. In some implementations, the wall of the mounting slot 120 may be provided with mounting clearance holes 125 for avoiding electronic components on the display device 200.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 6The device body 210 has a first snap-fit ​​structure 211. When the display device 200 is installed in the mounting groove 120, the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 snaps into the inner tube 100 in the depth direction of the mounting groove 120, thereby limiting the displacement of the device body 210 in the depth direction of the mounting groove 120 and preventing the device body 210 from moving into the storage space 110, so that the display device 200 can be installed more securely on the inner tube 100.

[0064] In some implementations, the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 can also snap onto the inner liner 100 in the first direction x to limit the displacement of the device body 210 in the first direction x. For example, the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 can snap onto the inner liner 100 in the first direction x to prevent the device body 210 from moving along the first direction x toward the bottom of the refrigeration device 10.

[0065] In one embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 includes an elastic arm 212, which is disposed on the device body 210 and is capable of elastic deformation. In some implementations, the material used to make the elastic arm 212 may include at least one material capable of elastic deformation, such as a thermoplastic elastomer, metal, or rubber. The elastic arm 212 may undergo at least one of the following elastic deformations: compression deformation, tensile deformation, bending deformation, or torsional deformation.

[0066] The elastic arm 212 is provided with a locking portion 213, which is used to lock with the inner liner 100 to lock the display device 200 into the mounting groove 120. For example, the locking portion 213 may include a locking groove 2131, in which the inner liner 100 can lock. The inner liner 100 may abut against the groove wall of the locking groove 2131 to limit the displacement of the device body 210 in the depth direction of the mounting groove 120, and to limit the displacement of the device body 210 in the first direction x.

[0067] The elastic arm 212 is configured to engage the locking part 213 onto the inner liner 100 using its own elasticity, so that the locking part 213 is more securely engaged onto the inner liner 100, thereby allowing the display device 200 to be more securely installed onto the inner liner 100.

[0068] In one embodiment, the elastic arm 212 has a first elastic portion 2121 connected to the device body 210. The extension direction of the first elastic portion 2121 has an angle with the first direction x, and the extension direction of the first elastic portion 2121 also has an angle with the depth direction of the mounting groove 120.

[0069] The first end and the second end of the first elastic portion 2121 are arranged in the extending direction of the first elastic portion 2121, wherein the first end of the first elastic portion 2121 is connected to the device body 210. In the first direction x, the second end of the first elastic portion 2121 is spaced apart from the device body 210, and the second end of the first elastic portion 2121 is farther from the device body 210 than the first end of the first elastic portion 2121. In the depth direction of the mounting groove 120, the second end of the first elastic portion 2121 is closer to the inner liner 100 than the first end of the first elastic portion 2121.

[0070] The elastic arm 212 also has a second elastic portion 2122 connected to the first elastic portion 2121. The extension direction of the second elastic portion 2122 forms an angle with the first direction x, and the extension direction of the second elastic portion 2122 also forms an angle with the depth direction of the mounting groove 120. The second elastic portion 2122 is closer to the inner liner 100 than the first elastic portion 2121, and the extension direction of the second elastic portion 2122 forms an angle with the extension direction of the first elastic portion 2121.

[0071] The first end of the second elastic portion 2122 and the second end of the second elastic portion 2122 are arranged in the extending direction of the second elastic portion 2122, wherein the first end of the second elastic portion 2122 is connected to the second end of the first elastic portion 2121, and a snap-fit ​​portion 213 is provided on the second end of the second elastic portion 2122. In the first direction x, the second end of the second elastic portion 2122 is closer to the device body 210 than the first end of the second elastic portion 2122. In the depth direction of the mounting groove 120, the second end of the second elastic portion 2122 is closer to the inner liner 100 than the first end of the second elastic portion 2122, so as to snap the snap-fit ​​portion 213 onto the inner liner 100.

[0072] The above-mentioned design improves the structural strength of the elastic arm 212 and reduces the probability of damage to the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 during the assembly and disassembly of the display device 200. Furthermore, it allows the snap-fit ​​part 213 to be more securely snapped onto the inner liner 100, thereby limiting the displacement of the device body 210 in the depth direction of the mounting groove 120 and ensuring that the display device 200 is securely mounted on the inner liner 100.

[0073] In embodiments where the latching portion 213 includes a latching slot 2131, multiple latching slots 2131 may be provided, and the inner liner 100 is latched into any one of the latching slots 2131. Each latching slot 2131 is located on the elastic arm 212, and the multiple latching slots 2131 can be arranged sequentially along the extending direction of the elastic arm 212. For example, the multiple latching slots 2131 can be arranged sequentially along the extending direction of the second elastic portion 2122. In the first direction x, each latching slot 2131 is located at a different position, and also in the depth direction of the mounting groove 120. Thus, the multiple latching slots 2131 together form a stepped structure, with different distances between the different latching slots 2131 and the display panel 220 and the inner liner 100, and also different distances between the different latching slots 2131 and the device body 210.

[0074] With the above settings, the inner tube 100 can be engaged with different slots 2131 to adjust the depth of the device body 210 inserted into the mounting slot 120, so that the display device 200 can be adapted and installed in mounting slots 120 of different depths.

[0075] In the above example, the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 can be located on the side of the device body 210 near the bottom of the cooling device 10 in the first direction x. Of course, in other examples, the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 can also be located in different positions.

[0076] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The mounting groove 120 has a bottom wall 122 and a first side wall 123 and a second side wall 124 spaced apart in a first direction x. Both the first side wall 123 and the second side wall 124 are connected to the bottom wall 122 and are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the bottom wall 122. The first side wall 123 is closer to the bottom of the refrigeration device 10 than the second side wall 124, and the first side wall 123 is also closer to the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 than the second side wall 124.

[0077] The inner liner 100 includes a first snap-fit ​​plate 130, which is used to snap-fit ​​with a first snap-fit ​​structure 211. The extension direction of the first snap-fit ​​plate 130 is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction x, and the first snap-fit ​​plate 130 has a first connecting end 131 and a first snap-fit ​​end 132 arranged in the first direction x, wherein the first connecting end 131 is closer to the bottom of the refrigeration device 10 than the first snap-fit ​​end 132.

[0078] The first connecting end 131 is connected to the first sidewall 123, and the first snap-fit ​​end 132 is closer to the second sidewall 124 than the first connecting end 131. Thus, in the thickness direction of the mounting groove 120, the first snap-fit ​​plate 130 obscures at least a portion of the mounting groove 120. The first snap-fit ​​end 132 snaps into the first snap-fit ​​structure 211; for example, at least a portion of the first snap-fit ​​end 132 can snap into the slot 2131.

[0079] With the above configuration, the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 snaps into the first snap-fit ​​plate 130 of the inner liner 100, so that the display device 200 is snapped into the mounting groove 120.

[0080] In the above example, the first snap-fit ​​plate 130 and the inner liner 100 can be integrally formed, and the first snap-fit ​​plate 130 can include at least a portion of the inner liner 100. The first snap-fit ​​end 132 can be used to form a mounting opening 121, and the mounting opening 121 can be located on the side of the first snap-fit ​​end 132 near the top of the refrigeration device.

[0081] In some implementations, the first latching structure 211 contacts the side of the first latching plate 130 facing the bottom wall 122 of the groove. For example, in the depth direction of the mounting groove 120, the groove wall of the latching slot 2131 can contact the side of the first latching plate 130 facing the bottom wall 122 of the groove. This restricts the displacement of the device body 210 in the depth direction of the mounting groove 120. Furthermore, the side of the display panel 220 facing the inner wall of the inner liner 100 can contact the side of the first latching plate 130 facing the storage space 110.

[0082] With the above configuration, the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 and the display panel 220 contact the first snap-fit ​​plate 130 from two opposite directions, thereby limiting the displacement of the device body 210 in the depth direction of the mounting groove 120, so that the display device 200 can be more securely snapped onto the inner tube 100.

[0083] In some implementations, the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 can also contact the end of the first snap-fit ​​plate 130 facing the top of the refrigeration device 10. For example, in the first direction x, the groove wall of the snap-fit ​​slot 2131 can contact the first snap-fit ​​end 132. Thus, the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 is more securely snapped onto the inner liner 100.

[0084] In the above embodiments, two first snap-fit ​​structures 211 may be provided, and the two first snap-fit ​​structures 211 may be spaced apart in the width direction of the display device 200. In other embodiments, one, three, or other numbers of first snap-fit ​​structures 211 may be provided.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 8When the display device 200 is installed in the mounting slot 120, the display panel 220 and the inner wall of the inner liner 100 together form a disassembly opening 300. In the extending direction of the disassembly opening 300, one side of the disassembly opening 300 connects to the storage space 110, and the other side connects to the mounting opening 121. When the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 snaps into the inner liner 100, and at least a portion of the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 passes through the mounting opening 121 and extends into the disassembly opening 300, a disassembly tool can be inserted from the disassembly opening 300 into the mounting opening 121 and abut against the first snap-fit ​​structure 211, causing the elastic arm 212 to elastically deform, thereby releasing the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 from the inner liner 100.

[0086] With the above settings, users or maintenance personnel can easily remove the display device 200 from the cabinet for repair or replacement, avoiding damage to the inner tube 100 or the cabinet during the disassembly and assembly of the display device 200.

[0087] The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific structure and size of the disassembly tool, as long as the disassembly tool can extend from the disassembly port 300 into the installation port 121 and abut against the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 so that the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 and the inner liner 100 are disengaged.

[0088] In one example, the device body 210 may be provided with a relief groove 216, which is correspondingly provided with the first snap-fit ​​structure 211. The disassembly tool can abut against the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 so that at least part of the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 enters the relief groove 216, thereby disengaging the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 from the inner liner 100.

[0089] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The display panel 220 is provided with a disassembly groove 221, and at least part of the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 extends into the disassembly groove 221. The extension direction of the disassembly groove 221 has an angle with the depth direction of the mounting groove 120. For example, the extension direction of the disassembly groove 221 may be parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction x.

[0090] The distance between the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 and the bottom wall of the disassembly groove 221 can be in the range of 0.3mm to 0.7mm. For example, the distance between the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 and the bottom wall of the disassembly groove 221 can be 0.3mm, 0.5mm or 0.7mm.

[0091] The disassembly groove 221 and the inner wall of the inner liner 100 together form a disassembly opening 300, so that the disassembly tool can be inserted into the installation opening 121 through the disassembly opening 300 to abut against the first snap-fit ​​structure 211, and to release the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 and the inner liner 100 from the snap-fit.

[0092] For example, the display panel 220 may contact the inner wall of the inner liner 100 so that the groove wall of the disassembly groove 221 and at least a portion of the inner wall of the inner liner 100 together form the disassembly opening 300. Alternatively, the display panel 220 may be spaced apart from the inner wall of the inner liner 100, and the disassembly opening 300 may be formed between the groove wall of the disassembly groove 221 and the inner wall of the inner liner 100.

[0093] In one embodiment, the disassembly groove 221 is located on the side of the display panel 220 facing the inner wall of the inner liner 100. Correspondingly, the disassembly opening 300 is located on the side of the display panel 220 facing the inner wall of the inner liner 100 and is "hidden" between the display panel 220 and the inner liner 100. Here, "hidden" can be understood as not easily noticed by the user and having little impact on the appearance of the display device 200.

[0094] The above settings can reduce or even avoid the impact of the disassembly port 300 on the appearance of the display device 200, which is beneficial to ensuring the visual effect of the cooling equipment 10.

[0095] In one embodiment, the side of the disassembly port 300 that communicates with the storage space 110 faces the bottom of the refrigeration device 10. This arrangement prevents condensate on the inner wall of the inner liner 100 from flowing into the mounting groove 120 and into the display device 200 through the disassembly port 300, thereby preventing water damage to the display device 200 and extending its service life.

[0096] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 The inner liner 100 also includes a second snap-fit ​​plate 140, the extension direction of which is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction x. The second snap-fit ​​plate 140 and the first snap-fit ​​plate 130 may be spaced apart in the first direction x, and the second snap-fit ​​plate 140 is closer to the top of the refrigeration device than the first snap-fit ​​plate 130.

[0097] The second snap-fit ​​plate 140 has a second connecting end 141 and a second snap-fit ​​end 142 arranged in the first direction x, with the second connecting end 141 being closer to the top of the refrigeration device 10 than the second snap-fit ​​end 142. The second connecting end 141 is connected to the second sidewall 124, and the second snap-fit ​​end 142 is closer to the first sidewall 123 than the second connecting end 141. Thus, in the thickness direction of the mounting groove 120, the second snap-fit ​​plate 140 obscures at least a portion of the mounting groove 120.

[0098] The device body 210 also has a second snap-fit ​​structure 214. The second snap-fit ​​structure 214 and the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 are arranged in the first direction x and are disposed opposite each other on both sides of the device body 210. The second snap-fit ​​structure 214 may be located on the side of the device body 210 near the top of the refrigeration device 10.

[0099] The first end of the second latching structure 214 is connected to the device body 210, and the second end of the second latching structure 214 contacts the side of the second latching plate 140 facing the bottom wall 122 of the slot. Furthermore, the display panel 220 contacts the side of the second latching plate 140 facing the storage space 110.

[0100] With the above configuration, the second snap-fit ​​structure 214 and the display panel 220 contact the second snap-fit ​​plate 140 from two opposite directions to limit the displacement of the device body 210 in the depth direction of the mounting groove 120, so that the display device 200 can be more securely snapped onto the inner tube 100.

[0101] For example, a user or maintenance personnel can first snap the second snap-fit ​​plate 140 between the second snap-fit ​​structure 214 and the display panel 220, and then snap the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 with the first snap-fit ​​plate 130, thereby installing the display device on the inner tube 100.

[0102] In the above example, the second snap-fit ​​plate 140 and the inner liner 100 can be integrally formed, and the second snap-fit ​​plate 140 can include at least a portion of the inner liner 100. The second snap-fit ​​end 142 can be used to form an installation opening 121, which can be located between the second snap-fit ​​end 142 and the first snap-fit ​​end 132.

[0103] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The device body 210 also has a plurality of third snap-fit ​​structures 215, which can be arranged in the first direction x, and each third snap-fit ​​structure 215 can be located between the first snap-fit ​​structure 211 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 214 in the first direction x.

[0104] In some implementations, multiple third latching structures 215 may be respectively disposed on both sides of the display device 200. For example, some of the multiple third latching structures 215 may be disposed on one side of the display device 200 in the width direction, and others of the multiple third latching structures 215 may be disposed on the other side of the display device 200 in the width direction.

[0105] When the device body 210 is located in the mounting groove 120, each of the third snap-fit ​​structures 215 can snap-fit ​​with the inner liner 100 to limit the displacement of the device body 210 in the depth direction of the mounting groove 120.

[0106] With the above settings, the display device 200 can be securely attached to the inner tube 100.

[0107] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the air conditioner of this application, and are not intended to limit it. Although the air conditioner of this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
