DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional changes made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] It should be understood that the terms used herein, such as "upper," "above," "lower," and "below," etc., indicating spatial relative positions, are used for ease of explanation to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings. Spatially relative terms may be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation shown in the drawings.

[0042] An embodiment of the present invention provides a partition assembly and a refrigeration device that can separate two temperature spaces and have multiple functions.

[0043] The refrigeration device 1000 of this embodiment can be a refrigerator, a freezer, an upright refrigerator, a wine cabinet, etc. The following embodiments will be described using a refrigerator as an example. The refrigeration device 1000 includes a housing, an inner liner 200 disposed within the housing, a door frame 205 formed by the connection between the inner liner 200 and the housing, a refrigeration cavity surrounded by the inner liner 200, an opening 206 of the refrigeration cavity surrounded by the door frame 205, and a door covering the opening 206. The refrigeration device 1000 also includes a partition assembly 100 fixedly connected to the inner liner 200. The inner liner 200 includes a pair of inner liner side walls 201 disposed on the left and right sides. The partition assembly 100 is fixed between the inner liner side walls 201. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the partition assembly 100 can divide the refrigeration cavity into two cavities.

[0044] To clearly express the positions and directions described in this embodiment, in this embodiment, the partition assembly 100 is defined as being able to separate the refrigeration chamber into upper and lower chambers. The distinction between the upper and lower chambers can also be referenced to the direction of gravity. In this case, the refrigerator is placed vertically on the ground, and the partition assembly 100 can be fixed horizontally to the inner tank 200. The direction of the door relative to the inner tank 200 is defined as the front, and the opposite direction is defined as the rear. For example, when a user faces the opening 206 from front to back, the user's left hand direction is the left, and the right hand direction is the right. Horizontal is merely a name and is not limited to the physical sense of "horizontal." Of course, in the preferred embodiment, horizontal can be parallel to the horizontal plane in physics.

[0045] In addition, the partition assembly 100 can be divided into upper and lower spaces, or left and right spaces, including conventional refrigeration spaces or multifunctional hot and cold cabinets. The present invention is described in detail using the partition assembly 100 for separating upper and lower spaces and used in a refrigerator as an example.

[0046] The partition assembly 100 of this embodiment includes a main partition 10 and a secondary partition 20, as shown in Figures 4a and 4b. The main partition 10 includes a stopper, an upper opening 101, a lower opening 102, and a receiving space 130 extending through the upper and lower openings 101 and 102. The main partition 10 is configured to be fixedly connected to the inner container 200 of the refrigeration unit 1000, as shown in Figure 3. The secondary partition 20 can be secured within the receiving space 130 via the stopper, as shown in Figures 5a and 5b.

[0047] The partition assembly 100 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the sub-partition 20 is accommodated in the accommodating space 130 and the sub-partition 20 simultaneously closes the upper opening 101 and the lower opening 102 ; in the second state, the sub-partition 20 is removed from the accommodating space 130 .

[0048] In the first state of the partition assembly 100 of the present invention, the secondary partition 20 can be fixedly connected to the main partition 10, and in the second state, the secondary partition 20 can be separated from the main partition 10. In the first and second states, the main partition 10 is always fixedly connected to the inner tank 200, which not only meets the needs of disassembly and assembly of the secondary partition 20, but also can always fix the main partition 10 in a specific position, thereby maintaining the stability of the refrigerator.

[0049] In the first state, since the secondary partition 20 and the main partition 10 jointly isolate the airflow between the upper cavity and the lower cavity, the temperature difference between the upper cavity and the lower cavity can be very large. For example, the cavity above the partition assembly 100 can be a refrigerator, and the cavity below the partition assembly 100 can be a freezer, forming two compartments with huge temperature differences.

[0050] In the second state, since the secondary partition 20 is removed, air flows through the upper and lower openings 101 and 102, causing the temperatures of the upper and lower chambers to converge, forming compartments with the same temperature. Alternatively, the cold air from the freezer compartment below is transferred to the refrigerator compartment above, rapidly cooling the refrigerator compartment. After cooling is complete, the secondary partition 20 is replaced, restoring the two temperature compartments. The second state is shown in Figure 6.

[0051] The following describes existing double-door refrigerators, three-door refrigerators, and French-style refrigerators, combined with background technology. In existing refrigerators, the inner liner 200 is individually molded to create multiple storage spaces, with the multiple inner liner 200 connected by a center beam. Because the center beam separating the multiple spaces has a certain thickness, the overall volume of the refrigerator is reduced. However, when using the partition assembly 100 of this embodiment, the inner liner 200 only needs to be molded to create a large cavity, which is then separated by the partition assembly 100 into several smaller cavities, resulting in a larger refrigerator with the same volume.

[0052] Furthermore, during use, the user may need to rapidly cool the refrigeration compartment or require long-term overall cooling, which may necessitate the removal or adjustment of the partition assembly 100. However, a refrigerator is approximately 1.8 to 2 meters tall. When the inner tank 200 has only a large cavity, removing the partition assembly 100 at this height would prevent the two side walls of the refrigerator from providing stable support, potentially causing the side walls to bend and break. Therefore, the existing partition assembly 100 cannot be removed, as otherwise it would not meet the mechanical requirements for overall structural strength.

[0053] In the partition assembly 100 of this embodiment, since the main partition 10 is always fixedly connected to the inner liner 200, after the secondary partition 20 is removed, the connection method between the partition assembly 100 and the inner liner 200 does not change, and the box body can still be supported stably. Therefore, the disassembly and assembly of the secondary partition 20 does not affect the overall structural strength of the refrigeration equipment 1000, thereby solving the problem of insufficient strength caused by disassembly and assembly of the partition assembly 100.

[0054] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 4a and 8, the main partition 10 includes an upper partition 11, and the stop portion includes a step portion 19. The upper partition 11 surrounds the upper opening 101. The step portion 19 is arranged around the upper opening 101 and forms a horizontal indentation of the upper partition 11. The auxiliary partition 20 abuts against the step portion 19. The auxiliary partition 20 can be inserted into the accommodating space 130 from top to bottom until it lands on the step portion 19.

[0055] In addition, the main partition 10 also includes a lower partition 12 connected to the upper partition 11. As shown in Figures 4a to 5b and 8, the lower partition 12 surrounds the lower opening 102. The upper partition 11 includes a rear engaging portion 191, and the lower partition 12 includes a front engaging portion. The auxiliary partition 20 includes a rear engaging portion 222 disposed at its rear end and a front engaging portion 221 disposed at its front end. The main partition 10 includes a rear engaging portion 191 engaged with the rear engaging portion 222, and a front engaging portion engaged with the front engaging portion 221. Thus, when the auxiliary partition 20 is installed in the accommodating space 130, the rear engaging portion 222 of the auxiliary partition 20 engages with the rear engaging portion 191 of the main partition 10, and the front engaging portion 221 of the auxiliary partition 20 engages with the front engaging portion of the main partition 10. The staggered engaging form makes the connection more stable.

[0056] In addition, when the secondary partition 20 is installed in the main partition 10, a sealing layer 27, such as sealing cotton, can be set between the secondary partition 20 and the main partition 10 to reduce the airflow between the upper and lower cavities, reduce heat exchange, and improve sealing.

[0057] The main partition 10 includes a main cavity 120 enclosed by the upper partition 11 and the lower partition 12, and a circuit module arranged in the main cavity 120, the circuit module includes a wiring male terminal, the auxiliary partition 20 includes a auxiliary cavity 25, a refrigeration and heating component 23 arranged in the auxiliary cavity 25, and a wiring female terminal connected to the refrigeration and heating component 23; in the first state, the wiring male terminal is electrically connected to the wiring female terminal.

[0058] Furthermore, the secondary partition 20 includes an upper cover 21 and a lower cover 22. As shown in Figures 5a and 5b, the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22 enclose a secondary cavity 25. The lower surface of the upper cover 21 is provided with a refrigeration heater 23. The refrigeration heater 23 is an electric heating wire used to provide temperature compensation for the refrigerated compartment above. The refrigeration heater 23 can be attached to the bottom surface of the upper cover 21.

[0059] The secondary partition 20 further includes a connector cavity 26 enclosed by the lower cover 22, and a closure cover 24 enclosing the connector cavity 26. The female terminal is disposed in the connector cavity 26, and the closure cover 24 is detachably connected to the lower cover 22. The female terminal and the male terminal can be connected by opening the closure cover 24.

[0060] The main cavity 120 and the sub-cavity 25 are both filled with insulation. The main partition 10 includes a main feed port connected to the main cavity 120, and the sub-partition 20 includes a sub-feed port 310 connected to the sub-cavity 25. The insulation can be a foaming material, which is filled into the cavity through foaming. The insulation is filled into the main cavity 120 through the main feed port, and the insulation is filled into the sub-cavity 25 through the sub-feed port 310. The sub-partition 20 can be foamed outside through the sub-feed port 310 and then placed into the main partition 10, or it can be placed inside the main partition 10 and foamed together with the main partition 10. This improves the insulation performance of the partition assembly 100, thereby facilitating a greater temperature difference between the upper cavity and the lower cavity.

[0061] A water collecting trough 210 is provided on the upper surface of the upper cover plate 21. Since the temperature difference between the upper cavity and the lower cavity can be huge, the water collecting trough 210 can prevent the condensation water generated in the upper cavity from flowing into the freezing chamber below, thereby collecting the condensation water.

[0062] The partition assembly 100 also includes an upper partition 11 and a lower partition 12. Specifically, the main partition 10 includes the upper partition 11 and the lower partition 12. The upper partition 11 includes an upper wall 111 and an upper side wall 112, while the lower partition 12 includes a lower wall 121 and a lower side wall 122. The upper side wall 112 and the lower side wall 122 are arranged relatively parallel and fixedly connected. The upper wall 111 and the lower wall 121, as well as the interior of the upper side wall 112 or the lower side wall 122, enclose the main cavity 120. The exterior side surfaces enclose a partition groove 18 and a partition protrusion 17 for connecting to the inner liner 200. The upper side wall 112 and the lower side wall 122 enclose a main feed port, which is used to fill the main cavity 120 with insulation. The upper side wall 112 and the lower side wall 122 can be fixedly connected by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0063] The upper partition 11 and the lower partition 12 can be produced separately, for example, by injection molding, and can be produced separately using higher strength materials. The upper partition 11 and the lower partition 12 can be designed and made into more complex structures, such as making partition grooves 18 and partition protrusions 17, so that they are more stable in the later assembly with the inner liner 200, avoiding structural deformation. On the other hand, the thermal insulation component enters the main cavity 120 through the main feed port, so that the thermal insulation component not only plays the role of insulation, but also plays the role of fixedly connecting the inner liner 200 and the partition assembly 100, thereby improving the strength of the connection, and then the seam can be made smaller after installation on the refrigeration equipment 1000, and it is stable and reliable for long-term use, and the beautiful structure improves the consumer's experience.

[0064] The inner liner 200 includes a pair of inner liner side walls 201, namely the left side wall and the right side wall. The left side wall and the right side wall are respectively provided with a front inner wall 204, an inner liner groove 203 and an inner liner protrusion 202 from front to back. The distance between the front inner walls 204 on the left and right sides is the same as the left and right widths of the opening 206. The distance between the ends of the inner liner grooves 203 on the left and right sides that are away from each other is greater than the left and right widths of the opening 206. The distance between the ends of the inner liner protrusions 202 on the left and right sides that are away from each other is less than the left and right widths of the opening 206.

[0065] The partition assembly 100 includes a front wall 16, a partition protrusion 17, and a partition groove 18, which are arranged on both sides in order from front to back. The front wall 16 is in contact with the front inner wall 204, the partition protrusion 17 is engaged with the inner container groove 203, and the partition groove 18 is engaged with the inner container protrusion 202. Specifically, the inner container protrusion 202 is embedded in the partition groove 18, and the partition protrusion 17 is embedded in the inner container groove 203.

[0066] The shape of the partition groove 18, as shown in Figures 2, 4a, 4b, 7a, 9a, and 10, is concave inward, forming a roughly U-shaped structure. The liner protrusion 202, as shown in Figure 2 or 9a, has its raised portion inserted into the U-shaped partition groove 18, forming a concave-convex structure that supports the partition assembly 100. Similarly, for the liner groove 203 and the partition protrusion 17, the liner groove 203, as shown in Figure 2 or 9a, and the partition protrusion 17 inserted into the liner groove 203. Through the alternating grooves and protrusions of the liner 200 and the partition assembly 100, a stable support is formed.

[0067] Since the distance between the left and right front inner walls 204 is the same as the left and right widths of the opening 206, and the front end wall 16 is in contact with the front inner wall 204, the partition assembly 100 does not separate the door frame 205. The door frame 205 maintains consistency and forms an interlaced concave-convex structure, thereby improving the supporting effect of the inner liner 200 on the partition assembly 100, and making the door frame 205 more consistent and beautiful from top to bottom and having high supporting strength.

[0068] As shown in Figure 9a, the inner liner groove 203 includes a left inner liner groove and a right inner liner groove, the inner liner protrusion 202 includes a left inner liner protrusion 2021 arranged behind the left inner liner groove, and a right inner liner protrusion 2023 arranged behind the right inner liner groove; the partition groove 18 includes a left partition groove 181 matched with the left inner liner protrusion 2021, and a right partition groove 183 matched with the right inner liner protrusion 2023, and the partition protrusion 17 includes a left partition protrusion 17 matched with the left inner liner groove, and a right partition protrusion 17 matched with the right inner liner groove.

[0069] The liner 200 further includes a rear side wall, which includes a rear liner protrusion 2022 located at the same level as the liner protrusion 202 . The partition assembly 100 further includes a rear partition groove 182 that cooperates with the rear liner protrusion 2022 .

[0070] The arrangement of the rear liner protrusion 2022 and the rear partition groove 182 improves the stability of the connection between the liner 200 and the partition assembly 100, allowing the liner 200 to support the partition assembly 100 from the left, right, and rear directions, as shown in Figure 9a. Furthermore, after the rear liner protrusion 2022 is provided, a drainage groove 2024 can be further formed by vacuum molding, as shown in Figures 2 and 6. The drainage groove 2024 is provided behind the rear liner protrusion 2022 to facilitate the drainage of condensed water from the refrigerator compartment. The formation of the rear liner protrusion 2022 makes the provision of the drainage groove 2024 possible. However, in the existing structure of the partition assembly 100, due to the lack of the rear liner protrusion 2022, it is impossible to provide the drainage groove 2024 behind the partition assembly 100.

[0071] Since the inner liner 200 is formed by vacuum molding and has a high upper and lower height, during the installation process, the partition assembly 100 and the inner liner 200 are first installed together. The inner liner side walls 201 on the left and right sides of the inner liner 200 can be slightly deformed to the left and right to allow the partition assembly 100 to be inserted through. During the insertion of the partition assembly 100, the left partition groove 181 is inserted into the left liner protrusion 2021, and the right partition groove 183 is inserted into the right liner protrusion 2023. After the partition assembly 100 is pushed to the bottom, the rear partition groove 182 is inserted into the rear liner protrusion 2022. At this time, the right partition protrusion 17 is embedded in the right liner groove, and the left partition protrusion 17 is embedded in the left liner groove. The front end wall 16 of the left side of the partition assembly 100 is aligned with the front end wall 16 of the front inner wall 204 on the left side of the liner side wall 201, and the front end wall 16 of the right side of the partition assembly 100 is aligned with the front end wall 16 of the front inner wall 204 on the right side of the liner side wall 201. At this time, the liner 200 recovers its deformation, and the distance between the left front inner wall 204 and the right front inner wall 204 of the liner side wall 201 is the width of the opening 206 of the liner 200.

[0072] During the installation of the baffle assembly 100, a sealing ring 301 and a bent seal 401 (described below) are installed between the baffle assembly 100 and the inner liner 200 to ensure a seal between the baffle assembly 100 and the inner liner 200. The feed routing cover 300 and feed cover 400 (described below) are then installed on the outside of the inner liner 200. Several feed routing covers 300 and feed covers 400 are connected to the left and right sides of the inner liner 200, and several feed covers 400 (three in the figure) are connected to the rear side of the inner liner 200. The insulation member can be a foam material, and both the feed cover 400 and the feed routing cover 300 are provided with feed ports that allow the foam material to enter the main cavity 120 through the feed ports.

[0073] Finally, the outer shell of the refrigeration device 1000 and the inner liner 200 are assembled, and then foaming is performed between the outer shell and the inner liner 200 , and the foaming material enters the partition assembly 100 at the same time.

[0074] Finally, the support of the partition assembly 100, especially the support of the main partition 10, comes from at least four aspects:

[0075] (1) After the foaming material solidifies, the foaming material between the box body and the inner liner 200 is connected to the foaming material in the main partition 10 at the same time, and the inner liner 200 and the partition assembly 100 are fixed together by the foaming material. The foaming material resists the gap that may be generated by deformation of the box body and the inner liner 200 and the partition assembly 100 when they expand and contract due to heat, thereby avoiding the occurrence of flash cracks;

[0076] (2) The inner liner 200 and the partition assembly 100 are fixedly connected together through the feed wiring cover 300 and the feed cover 400, and the feed wiring cover 300 and the feed cover 400 are provided in multiple directions to pull the inner liner 200 and the partition assembly 100 from all directions to avoid the occurrence of flash seams;

[0077] (3) The inner liner protrusion 202 and the partition groove 18 cooperate, and the upper wall 111 of the partition assembly 100 abuts against the upper part of the inner liner protrusion 202, so that the inner liner protrusion 202 directly forms an upward support for the partition assembly 100;

[0078] (4) The inner tank groove 203 cooperates with the partition protrusion 17, and the lower wall 121 of the partition assembly 100 abuts against the upper part of the inner tank groove 203, so that the inner tank groove 203 directly forms an upward support for the partition assembly 100;

[0079] In addition, the forces between the inner liner protrusion 202, the inner liner groove 203 and the partition assembly 100, as well as the lower wall 121 of the partition assembly 100 and the inner liner protrusion 202, and the upper wall 111 of the partition assembly 100 and the inner liner groove 203, form a force that hinders the partition assembly 100 from moving upward, forward and backward.

[0080] The main feed inlet includes a first feed inlet 1131 and a third feed inlet 1211. The upper sidewall 112 and / or the lower sidewall 122 include an extended edge surrounding the first feed inlet 1131 and an extended wall 124 surrounding the third feed inlet 1211. The extended edge and the extended wall 124 are both embedded in the holes in the inner liner 200. The insulation is filled from multiple feed inlets separately to ensure good support and connection in all directions.

[0081] The upper partition 11 includes a first connector, and the lower partition 12 includes a second connector connected to the first connector. The first connector and the second connector are arranged at the intersection of the upper partition 11 and the lower partition 12. The matching limiting insulation component of the first connector and the second connector is located in the main cavity 120.

[0082] Specifically, one of the first matching component and the second matching component is configured as a matching groove 152 , and the other is configured as a matching edge 151 embedded in the matching groove 152 .

[0083] At least part of the structure of the matching groove 152 and the matching edge 151 is arranged around the main cavity 120. In addition, at least part of the structure of the matching groove 152 and the matching edge 151 is arranged around the accommodating space 130. As shown in Figure 8, the upper side wall 112 of the upper partition 11 forms the matching edge 151, and the matching groove 152 is formed inside the lower side wall 122 of the lower partition 12; the edge of the lower partition 12 surrounding the lower opening 102 also forms a matching edge 151, and the matching groove 152 is formed inside the upper opening 101 of the upper partition 11. In other words, both the matching groove 152 and the matching edge 151 are provided on the upper partition 11, and the same is true for the lower partition 12. This alternating arrangement makes the main cavity 120 more tightly sealed, and the thermal insulation component cannot overflow from the connection position between the upper partition 11 and the lower partition 12.

[0084] In addition, the main partition 10 includes a first material inlet 1131 and a first wire inlet 1132 disposed on the side. The first material inlet 1131 is used to fill the insulation component into the main cavity 120, and the first wire inlet 1132 is used to pass the wires 500 to power the display module 14, the refrigeration and heating component 23, and the front-end heating component 1322 within the partition assembly 100. The first material inlet 1131 and the first wire inlet 1132 are both disposed at the position of the partition protrusion 17. The inner tank groove 203 is provided with holes aligned with the first material inlet 1131 and the first wire inlet 1132. The wires 500 between the inner tank 200 and the box body enter the first wire inlet 1132, and the foaming material between the inner tank 200 and the box body enters the first material inlet 1131, as shown in FIG.

[0085] A main cavity 120 is arranged below the upper partition 11, and a display slot 110 is surrounded above the upper partition 11. The partition assembly 100 also includes a display module 14, which is arranged in the display slot 110. The display module 14 includes a display circuit passing through the first wire inlet 1132, and a display screen 141 arranged above the main partition 10 and facing upward.

[0086] The wires 500 extend through the wiring holes into the display slot 110. The wiring holes only allow the wires 500 to pass through, but not the foaming material. This allows the main cavity 120 to be filled with insulation, but not the display slot 110. This protects the circuit structure within the display module 14 from being affected by foaming and affecting the display effect. The upper partition 11 also includes a main wiring inlet connecting the display slot 110 and the main cavity 120. The heating circuit passes through the first wiring inlet 1132 and the main wiring inlet in sequence, and then connects to the front heating element 1322 through the main cavity 120. Only the wires 500 can pass through the main wiring inlet, not the insulation.

[0087] The display screen 141 is provided in front of the upper opening 101. This not only makes the partition assembly 100 more functional, but also allows for assembly and disassembly, as well as display, and facilitates intelligent interaction between the user and the refrigeration device 1000 through the partition assembly 100.

[0088] The upper surface of the upper partition 11 not covered by the display module 14 is in the same plane as the upper surface of the display module 14 , which provides better overall consistency and allows the same object to be placed on both the upper surface of the display module 14 and the upper surface not covered by the display module 14 .

[0089] In addition, the partition assembly 100 also includes a feed wiring cover 300, which includes a second feed port 310 and a second wire inlet 320. The second feed port 310 is aligned with the first feed port 1131, and the second wire inlet 320 is aligned with the first wire inlet 1132. The second wire inlet 320 is connected to a closed terminal 321, and the closed terminal 321 includes a wiring hole for passing the wire 500. The feed wiring cover 300 is fixedly connected to the main partition 10, and a clamping space for clamping the inner tank 200 is set between the feed wiring cover 300 and the main partition 10.

[0090] The wires 500 can enter the partition assembly 100 through the first and second wire inlets 1132 and 320, thereby providing power to the partition assembly 100. This enables intelligent display, cooling, and heating functions, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the feed and wiring cover 300 securely secures the inner container 200 and the main partition 10 together, improving structural stability.

[0091] Specifically, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the upper partition 11 and / or the lower partition 12 include outwardly extending extension edges, and the feed and wiring cover 300 includes an anti-overflow groove 340 that cooperates with the extension edges, and the extension edges are inserted into the anti-overflow groove 340. The extension edges include an upper extension edge 113 extending outward from the upper partition 11 and a lower extension edge 123 extending outward from the lower partition 12. The upper extension edge 113 is inserted into the lower extension edge 123, and the upper extension edge 113 and the lower extension edge 123 respectively enclose a first feed inlet 1131 and a first line inlet 1132. The extension edges and the anti-overflow groove 340 are both annular and are arranged around the outside of the first feed inlet 1131 and the outside of the first line inlet 1132.

[0092] The matching structure of the upper extension edge 113 and the lower extension edge 123 makes the connection between the upper partition 11 and the lower partition 12 tighter and the structural strength higher; the matching structure of the annular extension edge and the anti-overflow groove 340 can avoid overflow and form a complete sealing structure.

[0093] The feed and routing cover 300 includes a first engaging member, and the main partition 10 includes a first mating member. The first engaging member is engaged with the first mating member. Specifically, the first engaging member is configured as a first hook 330 extending into the first feed inlet 1131. The first mating member is configured as the first inner wall within the first feed inlet 1131. The first hook 330 engages with the first inner wall. As shown in Figures 9b or 12b, the first hook 330 includes two sets, upper and lower, respectively, engaging with the upper and lower first inner walls, providing a stable connection.

[0094] In addition, a sealing ring 301 is provided in the clamping space, as shown in Figure 3 or 10, and is sleeved on the outer side of the extension edge. The sealing ring 301 can be a rubber ring or foam cotton, which plays the role of preventing glue overflow and sealing.

[0095] As shown in Figures 10 or 12a, bolt holes are provided in the main partition 10, the feed and routing cover 300, and the inner liner 200. Bolts pass through the feed and routing cover 300 and the inner liner 200 in sequence and then connect to the main partition 10. The bolts tightly connect the main partition 10, the feed and routing cover 300, the inner liner 200, and the sealing ring 301.

[0096] The first hook 330 can also be used to first fix the inner liner 200 to the partition assembly 100 to play a pre-fixing role, and then fix it with bolts. The structure is more stable when the bolts are fixed, so the setting of the first hook 330 facilitates the employees to assemble the bolts and improves production efficiency.

[0097] The partition assembly 100 also includes a front cover plate 131. As shown in Figures 7a to 9b, the main cavity 120 enclosed by the upper partition plate 11 and the lower partition plate 12 has a front opening 140 in front, and the front cover plate 131 closes the front opening 140. The partition assembly 100 also includes a heating module 132. The heating module 132 includes a front heating element 1322 disposed on the rear surface of the front cover plate 131. The front heating element 1322 can be used to solve the problem of condensation at the large temperature difference between the upper and lower cavities at the front end of the partition assembly 100. Therefore, the front heating element 1322 is attached to the rear of the front cover plate 131 to generate heat.

[0098] The heating module 132 further includes a front-end heating circuit 1321 connected to the front-end heating element 1322 , as shown in FIG. 3 or 7 b . The front-end heating circuit 1321 is powered by a line input from the first line inlet 1132 .

[0099] The upper partition 11 and the lower partition 12 enclose an annular groove 1401 of the front opening 140. The front cover 131 includes an annular retaining ring 1311 for inserting into the annular groove 1401. The annular groove 1401 is fixedly connected to the annular retaining ring 1311, as shown in Figures 7b, 8, and 9b.

[0100] Lower partition 12 includes a lighting trough 150. As shown in Figures 7a-8, partition assembly 100 includes a lighting module 134 disposed within lighting trough 150. Lighting module 134 includes a lighting circuit that passes through first cable inlet 1132 and a lighting element that illuminates downward. Partition assembly 100 also includes a transparent lighting cover 133 that encloses lighting trough 150. Lighting module 134 emits light upward, while lighting cover 133 is positioned downward. This allows lighting module 134 to illuminate downward, giving partition assembly 100 a dual lighting function. Furthermore, because the light is emitted in a strip-like, diffusely reflected manner, the lighting effect is more aesthetically pleasing.

[0101] The left inner liner protrusion 2021, the right inner liner protrusion 2023, and the rear inner liner protrusion 2022 are all provided with through holes 2025. As shown in Figure 2, the side walls of the partition groove 18 and / or the partition protrusion 17 are provided with several third feed ports 1211 aligned with the through holes 2025. Specifically, the left partition groove 181, the right partition groove 183, and the rear partition groove 182 are all provided with third feed ports 1211, that is, the upper side wall 112 and the lower side wall 122 are both provided with third feed ports 1211, and the thermal insulation component passes through the third feed port 1211 and the through hole 2025 to enter the main cavity 120.

[0102] In addition, the partition assembly 100 also includes a feed cover 400, as shown in Figures 10, 13a~13b, the feed cover 400 includes a fourth feed port 410, the fourth feed port 410 is aligned with the third feed port 1211, the feed cover 400 passes through the through hole 2025 and the third feed port 1211 in sequence, and the inner liner 200 and the partition assembly 100 are fixedly connected, the feed cover 400 is fixedly connected to the main partition 10, and a clamping space for clamping the inner liner 200 is set between the feed cover 400 and the main partition 10.

[0103] The thermal insulation component can enter the main cavity 120 through the third feed port 1211 and the fourth feed port 410, so that the thermal insulation component not only plays the role of insulation, but also plays the role of fixedly connecting the inner liner 200 and the partition assembly 100, thereby improving the strength of the connection, and the feed cover 400 can firmly fix the inner liner 200 and the main partition 10 together, thereby improving the stability of the structure.

[0104] The refrigeration equipment 1000 also includes a bent seal 401, which includes a left seal arranged between the left inner tank protrusion 2021 and the left partition groove 181, a rear seal arranged between the rear inner tank protrusion 2022 and the rear partition groove 182, and a right seal arranged between the right inner tank protrusion 2023 and the right partition groove 18318. An opening 4011 aligned with the third feed port 1211 is provided on the bent seal 401.

[0105] The feed cover 400 includes a second engaging member, and the main partition 10 includes a second mating member, which is engaged with the second mating member.

[0106] The extension wall 124 protrudes outwardly away from the main cavity 120, thereby firmly connecting to the inner container 200 and the feed cover 400. The feed cover 400 includes a positioning groove 420 for partially accommodating the extension wall 124. The outer positioning groove 420 includes a left positioning groove 420 and a right positioning groove 420. The second hook 430 includes a left second hook 430 and a right second hook 430. The left positioning groove 420 is located to the left of the left second hook 430, and the right positioning groove 420 is located to the right of the right second hook 430, providing stable connection and support from both left and right sides.

[0107] The refrigeration device 1000 further includes an upper duct cover plate disposed above the partition assembly 100 and a lower duct cover plate disposed below the partition assembly 100. Both the upper duct cover plate and the lower duct cover plate abut against the partition assembly 100. This provides support for the partition assembly 100 from both above and below, providing better support and greater resistance to deformation.

[0108] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0109] The partition assembly 100 not only maintains its own heat-insulating effect and allows the two separated compartments to have different temperatures, but also has a display function, allowing the user to place items on the partition assembly 100 and perform more operations through the display module 14; after the partition assembly 100 is installed on the refrigeration equipment 1000, the partition assembly 100 can foam its interior through the first feed port 1131 to give it heat-insulating ability, and can also light up the display module 14 through the first wire inlet 1132, so that the partition assembly 100 has more functions and improves the user experience.
