Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, freezer products need to increase storage space without increasing product volume. To achieve this goal, one of the key measures is to reduce the thickness of the foam layer and develop ultra-thin door bodies.

[0003] In related technologies, a door light is embedded in the door body to illuminate the interior of the cabinet. The door light includes a lamp body and terminals, wherein the lamp body and terminals are stacked in the thickness direction of the door light.

[0004] However, this stacking arrangement increases the size of the door light in the thickness direction, resulting in a door light that is too thick to be used with ultra-thin doors. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, or at least partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a freezer.

[0006] This application provides a freezer, which includes: a cabinet body, the interior of which includes a cavity; a door body, which is openable and closable on the cabinet body, the door body being used to open or close the cavity, and the side of the door body facing the cabinet body including a receiving groove; and a lighting assembly, which is disposed in the receiving groove, the lighting assembly including a housing, a lamp body, and a terminal, the housing body having a first mounting position and a second mounting position, the lamp body being disposed in the first mounting position, the terminal body being disposed in the second mounting position, and the terminal body being connected to the lamp body; wherein, the housing body is strip-shaped, and the lamp body and the terminal body are distributed in the width direction of the housing body.

[0007] This application distributes the lamp body and terminals along the width direction of the housing, reducing the overall size of the lighting assembly in the thickness direction. This distribution makes the thickness of the lighting assembly similar to the thickness of a single lamp body or terminal, thus reducing the thickness of the lighting assembly compared to stacked arrangements in related technologies.

[0008] By compressing the thickness of the lighting components through width distribution, the lighting components can be embedded in the receiving slots of the ultra-thin door body. Furthermore, due to the small thickness of the lighting components, the embedded lighting components will not compress the bubble layer below the design lower limit of the receiving slot, thus eliminating the risk of condensation in the door body area corresponding to the receiving slot.

[0009] Therefore, it can be seen that the lighting component proposed in this application can adapt to ultra-thin door bodies, solve the technical problems existing in related technologies, and thus achieve the technical effect of optimizing the structural layout of the lighting component, broadening the application range of the lighting component, and providing convenient conditions for the ultra-thin design of the door body.

[0010] In some embodiments, the lamp body is a rectangular LED light panel, and the terminals are strip-shaped high-voltage terminals. The LED light panel and the high-voltage terminals are arranged side by side in the width direction of the housing.

[0011] By arranging the LED light panel and power terminals side-by-side along the width of the housing, the existing space in that direction is utilized efficiently. Therefore, the length dimensions of the lighting assembly remain similar to the original design, allowing for direct installation into the door's receiving slot in related technologies. This eliminates the need to modify the door's mold or structural design due to the improved distribution of the LED light panel and power terminals. Consequently, this achieves the technical effect of improved lighting assembly compatibility and reduced refrigerator upgrade costs.

[0012] In some embodiments, the width direction of the housing is consistent with the width direction of the door, the door is hinged to the cabinet, and the terminal is located on the side of the lamp body near the hinge area of ​​the door and the cabinet.

[0013] By placing the terminals near the hinge area, the distance between the terminals and the access point of the power line on the cabinet is shortened, thereby reducing the length of the power line between the connecting terminals and the cabinet power supply.

[0014] By shortening the power line length, two things are achieved: firstly, the amount of wiring used is reduced, thus lowering the cost of lighting components; secondly, shorter power lines facilitate wiring and fixing within the limited space inside the door, reducing assembly complexity; and thirdly, shortening the power line length reduces the probability of tangling, interference, or compression problems, thereby improving the reliability of electrical connections.

[0015] In some embodiments, the lighting assembly further includes a snap-fit ​​component disposed within and connected to the housing, the snap-fit ​​component forming a first mounting position, and the snap-fit ​​component being used to fix the lamp body by snap-fit ​​engagement.

[0016] The snap-fit ​​method for fixing the lamp body eliminates the need to machine threaded holes or through holes in the lamp plate and housing, thus simplifying the manufacturing process of the housing and lamp plate and reducing the complexity of the lamp body manufacturing process. Furthermore, during assembly, operators do not need to use screwdrivers or other tools; they only need to align the lamp plate and apply pressure until the snap-fit ​​components are properly engaged to complete the installation. This process reduces the number of parts and steps required for assembly, achieving the technical effects of reducing assembly complexity and improving assembly efficiency.

[0017] In some embodiments, the latching component includes a first latch and a second latch, with the lamp body located between the first latch and the second latch in the width direction of the housing.

[0018] By installing the lamp body between the first and second claws, dual-sided positioning of the lamp body is formed in the width direction of the housing, thereby restricting the movement of the lamp body in the width direction of the housing, thus improving the reliability of the lamp body installation, and achieving the technical effect of improving the structural stability of the lighting component and reducing the failure rate of the lighting component.

[0019] In some embodiments, the housing includes a mounting groove forming a second mounting position, the shape of the mounting groove being adapted to the shape of a terminal, and the terminal being embedded in the mounting groove; the housing also includes a wiring hole communicating with the mounting groove and the outside of the housing.

[0020] By setting mounting slots whose shape matches the terminal, positioning and accommodating space can be provided for the terminal, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the reliability of terminal positioning.

[0021] By setting up a connection between the mounting slot and the wiring hole on the outside of the housing, the power lines are prevented from running haphazardly inside the housing, thereby reducing the difficulty of power line wiring and the probability of interference between the power lines and other components.

[0022] In some embodiments, the lighting assembly further includes a baffle located around the lamp body and terminals, the baffle serving to block liquid.

[0023] By installing baffles around the lamp body and terminals, a physical barrier is formed around them. When a small amount of liquid accidentally enters the housing, or condensate enters the lighting assembly during door opening and closing, the baffles prevent the liquid from directly contacting the conductive metal parts of the circuitry or terminals on the lamp board. This reduces the risk of electrical short circuits, arcing, or corrosion of metal contacts in the lamp body and terminals, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing the failure rate of the lighting assembly.

[0024] In some embodiments, the housing further includes a slot surrounding the lamp body and terminals, and the lighting assembly further includes a lampshade embedded in the slot, the lampshade covering the lamp body and terminals.

[0025] By installing a lampshade, external foreign objects can be blocked, and liquid polyurethane foam can be prevented from seeping into the housing, thereby reducing the failure rate of lighting components and improving the yield rate of lighting components.

[0026] In some embodiments, the baffle includes a first baffle, which is disposed in the slot and located on the side of the lamp body facing away from the terminal; the distance between the baffle and the lamp cover is greater than or equal to 0 mm and less than or equal to 0.8 mm.

[0027] By placing the first baffle on the side of the lamp body away from the terminal, targeted protection is provided for the area most susceptible to condensation when the door is opened, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the lighting components without increasing the material used for the first baffle.

[0028] When the distance between the baffle and the lampshade is set within the range of greater than 0 mm but not exceeding 0.8 mm, this gap provides the necessary tolerance for the manufacturing and assembly of the lampshade, avoiding problems such as the lampshade being unable to be assembled due to processing errors, or the lampshade being damaged during assembly, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing the difficulty of lampshade assembly and processing.

[0029] At the same time, the narrow gaps within this size range can utilize the surface tension of the liquid, making it difficult for flowing condensate to seep into the gaps by gravity or capillary action, thus retaining the function of blocking condensate while reducing assembly and processing difficulties.

[0030] In some embodiments, the baffle also includes a second baffle, which is disposed on the side of the lamp cover facing the slot and on the side of the lamp body facing away from the terminal.

[0031] By adding a second baffle rib to the lampshade, which cooperates with the first baffle rib set on the housing slot, a double barrier is formed on the side of the lamp body facing away from the terminal. This achieves the technical effect of improving the waterproof performance of the lighting component. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0046] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0047] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0048] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0049] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0050] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0051] In related technologies, door lights typically have the lamp body and terminals stacked vertically along the thickness of the door body. This stacking arrangement results in the total thickness of the door light being the sum of the lamp body thickness, terminal thickness, necessary installation gaps between them, and the housing wall thickness. Based on the standard dimensions of the lamp board and terminals and the gaps required by electrical safety regulations, the total thickness of this stacked door light will be close to or exceed 30mm.

[0052] When the door body bubble layer is reduced to a minimum of 30mm to meet ultra-thin design requirements, the depth of the receiving groove is also reduced accordingly. Because the door light, with its body and terminals stacked vertically, is quite thick, the total thickness of the lighting components may exceed the usable depth of the receiving groove, preventing the door light from being embedded. Furthermore, even if the receiving groove can accommodate the door light, the actual thickness of the bubble layer in the receiving groove area will be compressed below the design minimum, increasing the risk of condensation.

[0053] Therefore, the stacking scheme in related technologies, due to its inherent thickness, creates a spatial contradiction with the design of ultra-thin doors, making it unsuitable. This results in the technical problem that the door light is too thick to be used with ultra-thin doors.

[0054] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application combines Figures 1 to 10 A freezer 100 was proposed.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the freezer 100 provided in this embodiment includes: a cabinet body, the interior of which includes a cavity; a door 1, which is closable on the cabinet body and is used to open or close the cavity, the side of the door 1 facing the cabinet body including a receiving groove 11; and a lighting assembly 2, which is disposed in the receiving groove 11. The lighting assembly 2 includes a housing 21, a lamp body 22, and a terminal 23. A first mounting position 211 and a second mounting position 212 are formed in the housing 21. The lamp body 22 is disposed in the first mounting position 211, and the terminal 23 is disposed in the second mounting position 212, and the terminal 23 is connected to the lamp body 22. The housing 21 is strip-shaped, and the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23 are distributed in the width direction X of the housing 21.

[0056] The cabinet is the main structure of the freezer 100, and its interior forms a cavity for storing items.

[0057] The door 1 is installed on the cabinet by means of hinges or other connections, and is used to open or close the cavity. The side of the door 1 facing the cabinet is provided with a receiving groove 11, which is a groove structure and is used to install the lighting component 2.

[0058] The lighting assembly 2 is fixed in the receiving slot 11. The lighting assembly 2 includes a housing 21, a lamp body 22, and a terminal 23. The housing 21 is strip-shaped, that is, its shape is long and has a length direction Y, a width direction X, and a thickness direction Z. The housing 21 is divided into a first mounting position 211 and a second mounting position 212. The first mounting position 211 is used to install the lamp body 22, which is a light-emitting element, such as an LED light panel. The second mounting position 212 is used to install the terminal 23, which is an electrical connection component used to connect the lamp body 22 and the power line inside the cabinet. The lamp body 22 and the terminal 23 are connected by a wire.

[0059] In this application, the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23 are distributed along the width direction X of the housing 21, that is, the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23 are arranged side by side along the width direction X of the housing 21, instead of being stacked along the thickness direction Z, thus reducing the overall size of the lighting assembly 2 in the thickness direction Z. This distribution makes the thickness of the lighting assembly 2 similar to the thickness of the lamp body 22 or the terminal 23 individually, reducing the thickness of the lighting assembly 2 compared to the stacked arrangement scheme in related technologies.

[0060] After compressing the thickness of the lighting component 2 by distributing it in the width direction X, the lighting component 2 can be embedded in the receiving groove 11 opened in the ultra-thin door body 1. And because the thickness of the lighting component 2 is small, the embedded lighting component 2 will not compress the bubble layer below the receiving groove 11 below the design lower limit, thus eliminating the risk of condensation in the area of ​​the door body 1 corresponding to the receiving groove 11.

[0061] Therefore, it can be seen that the lighting component 2 proposed in this application can adapt to the ultra-thin door body 1, solve the technical problems existing in the related technologies, and thus achieve the technical effect of optimizing the structural layout of the lighting component 2, broadening the application scope of the lighting component 2, and providing convenient conditions for the ultra-thin design of the door body 1.

[0062] Based on this, the strip-shaped housing 21 has a certain size in the width direction X. The lamp body 22 and the terminal 23 are arranged in the width direction X. This can make reasonable use of the lateral space that already exists in the housing 21 and has not been fully utilized, so that while the thickness of the lighting component 2 is reduced, its total length can be maintained at a level comparable to that of the lamp body 22 or the terminal 23.

[0063] As can be seen, by distributing the terminals 23 and the lamp body 22 along the width direction X, this application only changes the size of the lighting component 2 in the thickness direction Z, while maintaining the length and width dimensions. This allows the lighting component 2 proposed in this application to be directly embedded in the receiving groove 11 in the related technology without having to redesign the bubble layer mold or slotted structure of the door body 1 due to the change in the layout of the terminals 23 and the lamp body 22.

[0064] Conversely, if the lamp body 22 and terminal 23 are distributed along the length Y direction, the total length of the assembly will inevitably increase significantly. This will cause it to be unable to match the length of the existing door body 1 receiving groove 11. If this solution is to be applied, the door body 1 must be redesigned and the size of the receiving groove 11 must be changed, resulting in additional mold costs and design workload.

[0065] Therefore, the arrangement of the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23 in the width direction X of the housing 21 can enhance the compatibility of the lighting component 2 while achieving the effect of reducing thickness, thereby broadening the scope of application of the lighting component 2 and reducing the improvement cost.

[0066] In addition, by distributing the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23 in the width direction X, the wiring length between the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23 can be shortened. The shorter connection line reduces the amount of wire used and reduces the risk of tangling, interference or damage that may be caused by excessively long lines, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing electrical failures of the lighting component 2.

[0067] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the lamp body 22 is a rectangular LED lamp board, the terminal 23 is a strip-shaped high-voltage terminal 23, and the LED lamp board and the high-voltage terminal 23 are arranged side by side in the width direction X of the housing 21.

[0068] In this embodiment, the lamp body 22 is a rectangular LED lamp board, that is, a light-emitting diode circuit board with a rectangular shape, and the terminal 23 is a strip-shaped high-voltage terminal 23. The high-voltage terminal 23 refers to an electrical connector used to connect high voltage (such as 220V or 115V AC power), and its shape is long and strip-shaped.

[0069] The LED light board and the high-voltage terminal 23 are arranged side by side in the width direction X of the housing 21, that is, they are arranged adjacent to each other in the width direction X of the housing 21, rather than being placed end to end in the length direction Y of the housing 21.

[0070] By arranging the LED light panel and high-voltage terminals 23 side-by-side in the width direction X of the housing 21, the existing space in the width direction X of the housing 21 can be made reasonable use. Furthermore, since the dimensions of the LED light panel and high-voltage terminals 23 in the width direction X are relatively small, this structural layout does not significantly increase the total length of the lighting assembly 2. Therefore, the dimensions of the lighting assembly 2 in the length direction Y can remain similar to the original design, allowing it to be directly installed in the receiving slot 11 of the door 1 in related technologies without requiring modifications to the mold or structural design of the door 1 due to the improved distribution of the LED light panel and high-voltage terminals 23. This achieves the technical effect of improving the compatibility of the lighting assembly 2 and reducing the improvement cost of the freezer 100.

[0071] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the width direction X of the housing 21 is consistent with the width direction X of the door 1, the door 1 is hinged to the cabinet, and the terminal 23 is located on the side of the lamp body 22 near the hinge area 12 of the door 1 and the cabinet.

[0072] In this embodiment, the specific orientation of the lighting assembly 2 on the door 1 is defined. The width direction X of the housing 21 is configured to align with the width direction X of the door 1. The door 1 is connected to the cabinet via a hinge, and this connection area is referred to as the hinge area 12. In this configuration, the terminal 23 is arranged on the side of the lamp body 22 near the hinge area 12.

[0073] The power supply line for the lighting assembly 2 inside the door 1 needs to be led out from inside the cabinet and enter the door 1 near the hinge area 12, finally connecting to the terminal 23. By placing the terminal 23 near the hinge area 12, the distance between the terminal 23 and the access point of the power supply line on the cabinet is shortened, thereby reducing the length of the power supply line connecting the terminal 23 and the cabinet power supply.

[0074] By shortening the power line length, the amount of wiring used is reduced, thereby lowering the cost of the lighting component 2. Furthermore, shorter power lines facilitate wiring and fixing within the limited space inside the door 1, reducing assembly complexity. Additionally, shortening the power line length reduces the probability of tangling, interference, or compression problems, thus improving the reliability of the electrical connection.

[0075] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the lighting component 2 further includes a snap-fit ​​component, which is disposed inside the housing 21 and connected to the housing 21. The snap-fit ​​component forms a first mounting position 211 and is used to fix the lamp body 22 by snap-fit ​​engagement.

[0076] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​component is disposed inside the housing 21 and connected to the housing 21. The snap-fit ​​component constitutes the first mounting position 211 for mounting the lamp body 22. It fixes the lamp body 22 by snap-fit ​​engagement. Specifically, it achieves the snap-fit ​​engagement by means of structures such as claws, buckles or elastic arms. During assembly, the snap-fit ​​component undergoes elastic deformation and engages with the corresponding structure on the lamp plate, thereby achieving fixation.

[0077] Compared to the screw fixing method used in related technologies, the snap-fit ​​fixing of the lamp body 22 eliminates the step of machining threaded holes or through holes in the lamp plate and housing 21, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the housing 21 and the lamp plate and reducing the technical complexity of the lamp body 22. Furthermore, during assembly, operators do not need to use screwdrivers or other tools; they only need to align the lamp plate and apply pressure until the snap-fit ​​parts are engaged to complete the installation. This process reduces the number of parts and steps required for assembly, achieving the technical effects of reducing assembly complexity and improving assembly efficiency.

[0078] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the snap-fit ​​component includes a first snap-fit ​​claw 2111 and a second snap-fit ​​claw 2112, and the lamp body 22 is located between the first snap-fit ​​claw 2111 and the second snap-fit ​​claw 2112 in the width direction X of the housing 21.

[0079] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​component includes a first snap-fit ​​claw 2111 and a second snap-fit ​​claw 2112. In the width direction X of the housing 21, the lamp body 22 is disposed between the first snap-fit ​​claw 2111 and the second snap-fit ​​claw 2112, that is, the first snap-fit ​​claw 2111 and the second snap-fit ​​claw 2112 clamp and fix the lamp body 22 from both sides.

[0080] By installing the lamp body 22 between the first latch 2111 and the second latch 2112, a dual-sided positioning of the lamp body 22 is formed on both sides in the width direction X of the housing 21, thereby restricting the movement of the lamp body 22 in the width direction X of the housing 21. For example, the door 1 of the freezer 100 will vibrate during the opening and closing process. The first latch 2111 and the second latch 2112 distributed on both sides of the lamp body 22 can disperse and absorb the force generated by the vibration, thereby improving the reliability of the lamp body 22 installation, and thus achieving the technical effect of improving the structural stability of the lighting component 2 and reducing the failure rate of the lighting component 2.

[0081] In one alternative embodiment, the number of first claws 2111 and second claws 2112 is set to multiple, with multiple first claws 2111 distributed along the length direction Y of the housing 21, and similarly, multiple second claws 2112 distributed along the length direction Y of the housing 21.

[0082] When the lamp body 22 is a rectangular LED lamp board with a certain length, by setting multiple pairs of first claws 2111 and second claws 2112 along the length direction Y of the housing 21, clamping and fixing can be provided at multiple points along the length direction Y of the lamp board, thereby enhancing the constraint of the clamping component on the lamp body 22.

[0083] Specifically, multiple pairs of first claws 2111 and second claws 2112 can limit the warping or twisting deformation of the lamp body 22 in the length direction Y. For example, when the lamp panel expands and contracts due to changes in operating temperature, the uniform constraint at multiple points suppresses deformation.

[0084] like Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the housing 21 includes a mounting groove 2121, which forms a second mounting position 212. The shape of the mounting groove 2121 is adapted to the shape of the terminal 23, and the terminal 23 is embedded in the mounting groove 2121. The housing 21 also includes a wiring hole 213, which connects the mounting groove 2121 and the outside of the housing 21.

[0085] In this embodiment, the housing 21 includes a mounting groove 2121, which forms a second mounting position 212 for accommodating the terminal 23. The shape of the mounting groove 2121 is configured to adapt to the outer contour shape of the terminal 23, so that the terminal 23 can be embedded and placed within the mounting groove 2121. The housing 21 also includes a wiring hole 213, one end of which communicates with the interior of the mounting groove 2121, and the other end of which communicates with the space outside the housing 21.

[0086] By setting a mounting groove 2121 whose shape is adapted to the terminal 23, a positioning and accommodating space can be provided for the terminal 23. Specifically, when the terminal 23 is embedded in the mounting groove 2121, the side wall of the mounting groove 2121 can restrict the terminal 23 from shaking or rotating inside the housing 21 by fitting the peripheral side of the terminal 23, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the positioning reliability of the terminal 23.

[0087] By setting a connection slot 2121 and a wiring hole 213 on the outside of the housing 21, a channel is provided for the power line of the connection terminal 23, thereby shortening the connection path of the power line and preventing the power line from arbitrarily winding inside the housing 21. This achieves the technical effect of reducing the wiring difficulty of the power line and reducing the probability of interference between the power line and other components (such as the first claw 2111 and the second claw 2112).

[0088] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the lighting assembly 2 further includes a baffle 24 located on the periphery of the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23, and the baffle 24 is used to block liquid.

[0089] In this embodiment, the lighting assembly 2 is provided with a baffle 24, which is located inside the housing 21 and arranged around the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23. The baffle 24 can prevent external liquids (such as water in a water spray test) from splashing or flowing directly onto the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23.

[0090] By providing baffles 24 around the lamp body 22 and terminals 23, a physical barrier is formed around them. When a small amount of liquid accidentally enters the housing 21, or when condensate rushes into the lighting assembly 2 during the opening and closing of the door 1, the baffles 24 can prevent the liquid from directly contacting the circuit on the lamp board or the metal conductive parts of the terminals 23. This reduces the risk of electrical short circuits, arcing, or metal contact corrosion of the lamp body 22 and terminals 23, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing the failure rate of the lighting assembly 2.

[0091] Based on this, the retaining rib 24 and the shell 21 are an integral structure, which can be integrally formed through injection molding.

[0092] By integrating the baffle 24 onto the housing 21, a waterproof design for the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23 can be achieved without introducing additional independent parts, thereby reducing the structural complexity of the lighting assembly 2.

[0093] In an alternative embodiment, the baffle 24 is a continuous closed structure surrounding the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23, thereby forming a fully enclosed physical barrier.

[0094] The surrounding baffle 24 can block liquids that splash or flow toward the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23 from all directions. When condensation occurs on the inner surface of the door body 1 or liquids from the outside intrude, the annular baffle 24 can effectively intercept the liquids and prevent them from directly contacting the circuits on the lamp board or the metal conductive parts of the terminal 23.

[0095] Since the baffle 24 is a closed, encircling structure, its ability to block liquids does not depend on the installation direction of the lighting component 2, thereby improving the reliability of the protection.

[0096] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the housing 21 further includes a slot 214, which surrounds the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23. The lighting assembly 2 also includes a lampshade 25, which is embedded in the slot 214 and covers the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23.

[0097] In this embodiment, the housing 21 includes a slot 214, which is arranged around the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23 on the horizontal projection plane. The lighting assembly 2 also includes a lampshade 25, which is embedded and fixed in the slot 214 through its edge structure, thereby covering the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23 inside.

[0098] By providing the lampshade 25, a top-closed receiving space can be formed with the housing 21, in which the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23 are encapsulated. Specifically, the lampshade 25 can block external foreign objects (such as dust) from directly contacting the terminal 23 and the lamp body 22. Furthermore, in the foaming manufacturing process of the door body 1, the closed space formed by the housing 21 and the lampshade can prevent liquid polyurethane foam from seeping into the interior of the housing 21, avoiding contamination of the circuit on the lamp board or adverse effects on the conductivity of the terminal 23. This achieves the technical effect of reducing the failure rate of the lighting assembly 2 and improving the yield rate of the lighting assembly 2.

[0099] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the baffle 24 includes a first baffle 241, which is disposed in the slot 214 and is located on the side of the lamp body 22 facing away from the terminal 23; the distance between the baffle 24 and the lamp cover 25 ( Figure 3 The range of the medium dimension (H) is: greater than or equal to 0 mm and less than or equal to 0.8 mm.

[0100] In this embodiment, the arrangement position of the baffle 24 and its distance from the lamp cover 25 are defined. Specifically, the baffle 24 includes a first baffle 241, which is disposed on the slot 214 of the housing 21, and its position is defined on the side of the lamp body 22 facing away from the terminal 23.

[0101] When the door 1 is closed, the lighting assembly 2 is located below the door 1. When the door 1 is opened, the side of the lamp body 22 facing away from the terminal 23 typically corresponds to the upper part of the door 1. In this state, condensation formed inside the door 1 or at the cabinet opening will collect towards the upper part of the door 1 under gravity and eventually flow towards the lighting assembly 2. To address this, by placing the first baffle 241 on the side of the lamp body 22 facing away from the terminal 23, the first baffle 241 is effectively positioned above the lamp body 22 when the door 1 is open. This blocks the condensation flowing downwards under gravity, preventing it from directly entering the housing 21 and reducing the probability of the lamp body 22 and terminal 23 coming into contact with condensation. Consequently, the waterproof performance of the lighting assembly 2 is improved without increasing the material used for the first baffle 241.

[0102] In summary, this embodiment provides targeted protection for the area most susceptible to condensation when the door 1 is opened, through the first baffle 241.

[0103] Based on this, the distance between the top of the first baffle 241 and the inner surface of the lamp cover 25 is controlled within the range of greater than or equal to 0 mm and less than or equal to 0.8 mm.

[0104] When the distance between the baffle 24 and the lamp cover 25 is 0mm, the first baffle 241 makes contact with the inner surface of the lamp cover 25, thereby establishing a substantial physical seal that can prevent liquid from flowing through the gap between the upper side of the lamp body 22 and the lamp cover 25, thus enhancing the waterproof performance.

[0105] When the distance between the baffle 24 and the lampshade 25 is set within the range of greater than 0 mm but not exceeding 0.8 mm, this gap provides the necessary tolerance for the manufacturing and assembly of the lampshade 25, avoiding the problem of the lampshade 25 being unable to be assembled due to processing errors, or the lampshade 25 being damaged during assembly, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing the assembly difficulty and processing difficulty of the lampshade 25.

[0106] At the same time, the narrow gaps within this size range can utilize the surface tension of the liquid, making it difficult for flowing condensate to seep into the gaps by gravity or capillary action, thus retaining the function of blocking condensate while reducing assembly and processing difficulties.

[0107] In one alternative embodiment, the distance between the baffle 24 and the lampshade 25 is 0.3 mm or 0.5 mm.

[0108] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the baffle 24 further includes a second baffle 242, which is disposed on the side of the lamp cover 25 facing the slot 214 and on the side of the lamp body 22 facing away from the terminal 23.

[0109] In this embodiment, the baffle 24 further includes a second baffle 242, which is disposed on the side surface of the lamp cover 25 facing the slot 214, and the position of the second baffle 242 is also located on the side of the lamp body 22 facing away from the terminal 23.

[0110] By adding a second baffle 242 to the lampshade 25, which cooperates with the first baffle 241 provided on the slot 214 of the housing 21, a double barrier is formed on the side of the lamp body 22 facing away from the terminal 23 (i.e., above when the door 1 is open). When the lampshade 25 is inserted into the slot 214 of the housing 21, the first baffle 241 and the second baffle 242 are spatially staggered or side by side. Even if a small amount of liquid accidentally crosses one of the first baffle 241 and the second baffle 242, the other can still provide subsequent blocking, thereby reducing the probability of condensate contacting the lamp body 22 and the terminal 23, and thus achieving the technical effect of improving the waterproof performance of the lighting component 2.

[0111] In one specific embodiment of this application, a gravity switch is integrated on the lamp body 22 of the lighting component 2. The gravity switch automatically controls the on / off state of the circuit of the lamp body 22 by sensing the change in the direction of gravity caused by the change in the angle when the door 1 is opened and closed.

[0112] Specifically, when door 1 is closed, the contacts inside the gravity switch are in the open position due to gravity, the circuit of lamp 22 is disconnected, and lamp 22 is not lit. When the user opens door 1, door 1 rotates around the hinge, causing the spatial orientation of the lighting component 2 and its gravity switch fixed to door 1 to change. When door 1 is opened to a certain angle, the contacts inside the gravity switch switch to the closed position under the action of gravity, thereby connecting the circuit of lamp 22, and lamp 22 automatically lights up, providing lighting for the cabinet.

[0113] This integrated solution places the control functions directly on the lamp panel, eliminating the need for a separate switch mounting location and complex linkage mechanisms. This simplifies the overall structure of lighting component 2, thereby achieving the technical effects of reducing materials and simplifying assembly. Furthermore, as a mechanical switch, the gravity switch itself is characterized by its simple structure and high reliability, which helps reduce the failure rate of lighting component 2.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments described herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
