[0017] Example: This embodiment describes a refrigerator outer shell structure, including a U-shaped frame 1 in the form of a sheet 32. The U-shaped frame 1 forms a doorway 11 and an opening 12. A closing sheet 2 is disposed within the opening 12. The two sides of the closing sheet 2 along its length are respectively welded to the opposite sides of the U-shaped frame 1 located within the opening 12 to close the opening 12. Both the U-shaped frame 1 and the closing sheet 2 have sheet-like door edges 13 extending into the doorway 11 along their straight sides. A sheet-like corner edge 3 is disposed between every two sheet-like door edges 13 along their length. The end of each sheet-like corner edge 3 is welded to the side of each sheet-like door edge 13 along its length. Each U-shaped frame 1... Each corner 14 located at the doorway 11 is welded to the rear side of each piece of corner 3, and the gap formed by each splicing is sealed by welding to form an integrated refrigerator shell. The outer wall of the integrated refrigerator shell can be sprayed with a protective layer, which can be a paint layer. The U-shaped frame 1 and each piece of door edge 13 at the doorway 11 are formed by stamping and bending a metal plate, and the angle between the piece of door edge 13 and the piece of U-shaped frame 1 is a right angle. The sealing plate 2 and the piece of door edge 13 at the doorway 11 are also formed by stamping and bending a metal plate, and the angle between the piece of door edge 13 and the sealing plate 2 is also a right angle. The metal plate is generally a stainless steel sheet.

[0018] Preferably, each corner 14 of the annular frame is a rounded corner 14, and each piece-shaped corner 3 is also a rounded structure. The use of rounded corners 14 makes the outer side of the corner 14 of the refrigerator shell a rounded surface, making the outer side of the refrigerator more aesthetically pleasing.

[0019] In this embodiment, the ends of each sheet-like corner edge 3 extend toward the sheet-like door edge 13 to form a first splicing piece 31, and the first splicing piece 31 and the sheet-like door edge 13 are stacked on each other. The first splicing piece 31 is stacked on the inner side of the sheet-like door edge 13. Its structure allows the sheet-like corner edge 14 to be positioned after assembly to prevent it from coming out and causing misalignment of the welding seam, making welding more convenient. After welding and fixing, the sheet-like corner edge 14 is more stably fixed at the corner edge 14.

[0020] In this embodiment, the two sides of the closed piece 2 extend along its length direction to form a second splicing piece 21, and the second splicing piece 21 and the opposite sides of the U-shaped frame 1 located in the opening 12 are stacked on each other. The second splicing piece 21 is stacked on the inner side of the side of the U-shaped frame 1 located in the opening 12. Its structure allows the closed piece 2 to be positioned after assembly at the opening 12 to prevent it from coming out and causing misalignment of the welding seam, making welding more convenient. After welding and fixing, the closed piece 2 is more stably fixed in the opening 12.

[0021] In this embodiment, each corner 14 of the U-shaped frame 1 has a height difference between its edge at the doorway 11 and each piece of door edge 13, so that a notch 111 is formed on the side of each corner 14 of the U-shaped frame 1 facing the doorway 11. Each piece of door edge 3 has a piece 32 on its rear side that is adapted to the notch 111 and its edge. The edge of the piece 32 is spliced ​​and welded to the edge of the notch 111. The gap formed by splicing is sealed by welding. This structural design makes it easier to weld and fix the corner 14 of the U-shaped frame 1 and the piece of door edge, and also easier to adapt. The piece 32 is also an arc structure.

[0022] Preferably, a third splicing piece 33 is formed at the end of the sheet body 32. The third splicing piece 33 located at the U-shaped frame 1 is stacked on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 1, and the third splicing piece 33 located at the closing piece 2 is stacked on the inner side of the closing piece 2. The structure allows the sheet body 32 to be positioned after assembly at the notch 111 to prevent it from coming out and causing misalignment of the welding seam, making welding more convenient. After welding and fixing, the closing piece 2 is more stably fixed at the opening 12.
