Description
[ technical field ]
The present invention relates to a refrigeration device.
[ background art ]
WO2012/028445 discloses a refrigeration appliance comprising a strip mounted to the wall of a refrigerated container. The slats are held in the vicinity of the wall with clips which are snap-connected to the clips bearing on the wall. The slat members include forwardly extending flexible lip extensions which hold the slats against the wall surface under slight tension. However, when longer extensions are desired, we have found that larger/non-uniform gaps between the extensions and the walls are not desired by the designer.
[ summary of the invention ]
It is an object of the present invention to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems occurring in the prior art and to provide an improved refrigeration appliance.
The above object is achieved by the features of the independent claims. Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the figures, the description and the dependent claims.
One aspect of the present invention relates to a refrigeration appliance. The refrigeration appliance comprises a wall, a connecting part supported on the wall and a lath-shaped part, wherein the part comprises a fixing part connected to the connecting part and an elastic extending part connected with the fixing part and extending along the wall, the fixing part comprises a far end far away from the lath part and a near end close to the extending part in the direction parallel to the wall, and the refrigeration appliance is characterized in that a lever base point is formed between the fixing part and the connecting part, and the far end is abutted against the wall so that the tail end of the extending part has the tendency of moving around the lever base point and towards the wall.
Since the distal end of the extension can be pressed against the wall under the principle of leverage, there can be a smaller and uniform gap between the tip of the extension and the wall.
The refrigerator appliance may be a refrigerator (freezer and/or freezer), a wine cabinet or the like to store the goods to be cooled.
One or more leverage base points may be formed between the fixing portion and the connecting portion, and each leverage base point may be formed of a point contact portion, a line contact portion, or a surface contact portion of the fixing portion and the connecting portion.
The connecting portion may be integrally formed on the wall, or the connecting portion and the wall may be separately manufactured and then assembled together.
The "wall" according to the present invention may be one wall (for example, a top wall, a side wall, or a rear wall) of the liner box, or may be a wall provided in a component located in the liner box.
In one possible embodiment of the invention, the distal end has a reaction projection projecting toward the wall, the reaction projection being highest in the direction perpendicular to the wall and abutting against the wall. In another possible embodiment of the invention, the wall has a reaction projection projecting towards the fixing portion, the reaction projection abutting the fixing portion.
In one possible embodiment of the invention, a plurality of said reaction force tabs are included, said reaction force tabs being arranged in a row and spaced apart.
In a possible embodiment of the invention, the connecting part and the fastening part are snap-connected, the lever base point being formed at least one snap-connection.
In a possible embodiment of the invention, the lever base point is formed between the proximal end and the connection portion.
In a possible embodiment of the invention, the refrigeration device comprises a plurality of lever base points located in the same plane.
In one possible embodiment of the invention, the refrigeration appliance comprises a storage compartment having a front opening and an evaporator provided along the wall, the wall being a top wall of the storage compartment; the extension is disposed along the wall proximate the front opening and includes a downwardly directed deflector wall that is upwardly inclined in a forward to rearward direction.
Thus, when warmer air flows towards the vicinity of the cooler ceiling, the warmer air can be guided by the upwardly inclined guide wall in the front-to-rear direction to flow rearwardly to the cold zone, where it removes moisture from the air, which is beneficial to increase the concentration of frost, for example, the amount of frost in front of the ceiling can be reduced by reducing the warm air that is trapped at the front edge of the ceiling, or even completely avoided. On the other hand, as the frost can be concentrated in the cold area behind the flow guide wall, the refrigerator capable of automatically defrosting/manually defrosting is beneficial to improving the defrosting speed; in addition, because the flow guide wall has a structure with a low front part and a high back part, the frost behind the flow guide wall is not easy to observe by a user, and for the refrigerator for artificially defrosting, the defrosting period is favorably prolonged.
The evaporator provided along the top wall may comprise an evaporator provided along a side of the top wall facing the storage compartment and/or an evaporator provided along a side of the top wall facing away from the storage compartment (e.g. a side facing the insulation layer). The evaporator may be attached to the top wall or may be spaced from the top wall. In addition to being disposed along the top wall, the evaporator may be disposed along other walls, for example, the evaporator may be wrapped around the top wall, a pair of side walls and the bottom wall of the storage compartment.
The top wall of the storage compartment may be formed by the top wall of the box-type liner. In an alternative embodiment, when an insulation panel for thermally isolating the two storage compartments is fixed in the cabinet, the top wall of the storage compartments may also be formed by the lower plate of such an insulation panel.
In one possible embodiment of the invention, the extension comprises a covering wall at the end, substantially perpendicular to the wall and abutting against the wall, the covering wall being connected to the front end of the deflector wall. This is particularly advantageous in preventing air from flowing between the covering wall and the wall.
In one possible embodiment of the present invention, the slat part includes a plurality of first reinforcing ribs disposed at intervals, connecting the covering wall and the deflector wall, and a second reinforcing rib extending in a direction parallel to the covering wall and connecting the plurality of first reinforcing ribs. This advantageously reduces the strength of the extension and reduces the extent of deformation away from the wall.
In a possible embodiment of the invention, the guide wall has a curved surface concave towards the wall. This is particularly advantageous for the air flowing backwards and upwards towards the area of the top wall behind the guide wall.
In a possible embodiment, the lower end of the covering wall is connected with the front end of the guide wall, and the included angle between the covering wall and the guide wall is an acute angle. Since the guide wall is inclined upward in the front-to-rear direction and the angle between the covering portion and the guide wall is an acute angle, the guide wall is hardly visible to a user.
The construction of the present invention and other objects and advantages thereof will be more apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[ description of the drawings ]
The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention. Wherein,
FIG. 1 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view of a liner tank of a panel refrigeration appliance in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention with a lath like member attached to the liner tank;
fig. 2 is a schematic perspective view of a lath-shaped member according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[ detailed description of the invention ]
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a refrigerator 1 includes an inner container 2 defining a boundary of a storage chamber 10. The front opening 11 of the storage compartment 10 may be selectively closed and opened by an insulated door (not shown).
The liner tank 2 includes a top wall 21, a rear wall (not shown) facing the front opening 11, a bottom wall (not shown), and a pair of side walls 22. The inner surface of the liner tank 2 faces the storage chamber 10, and the top wall of the storage chamber 10 is formed by the top wall 21 of the liner tank 2. The outer surface of the liner tank 2 faces and is tightly bonded to a heat insulating layer (not shown).
The refrigeration appliance 1 comprises an evaporator 5 arranged along a top wall 21. In this embodiment the evaporator 5 may be embedded in the insulation layer outside the top wall 21, and in an alternative embodiment the refrigerator 1 may be provided with a second evaporator (not shown) arranged along the inside of the top wall 21. Since the evaporator 5 is provided near the ceiling wall 21, the temperature is low in the region of the ceiling wall 21 near the front opening 11.
The refrigeration appliance 1 comprises a connection portion 3 supported on the top wall 21 and a lath-like member 4 connected to the connection portion 3.
In the present embodiment, the connecting portion 3 is formed by a clip fixed to the ceiling wall 21. The connecting portion 3 includes a pair of downwardly extending legs 31, and a first latching protrusion 32 is provided on an outer side of each leg 31.
The lath-like member 4 comprises a fixing portion 41 connected with the connecting portion 3. The fixing portion 41 comprises a slot 40 for receiving the clamping leg 31 and a second latching projection 46 for forming a latching connection with the corresponding first latching projection 32. In assembly, the clamping legs 31 engage in the slots 40 and each first latching projection 32 hooks over a corresponding second latching projection 46 to form a latching connection, whereby the strip-shaped element 4 is fixed to the top wall 21.
The fixing portion 41 may be provided with a stopper 415 adjacent to the second latching projection 46 in a lateral direction to prevent the first latching projection 32 from moving in the lateral direction.
The lath-like member 4 comprises an elastic extension 42 connected to the fixing portion 41 and extending along the top wall 21. The fixing portion 41 includes a distal end 411 distant from the extension portion 42 in a direction parallel to the top wall 21 and a proximal end 412 relatively close to the extension portion 42. In this embodiment, the extension portion 42 extends forward from the fixing portion 41, so that the distal end 411 of the fixing portion 41 is located rearward of the proximal end 412 of the fixing portion 41. It should be understood that in other embodiments, such as when the slat-mounted component is mounted in other positions, the positional relationship between the extension portion 42 and the fixing portion 41, and thus the positional relationship between the distal end 411 and the proximal end 412, may be different.
The distal end 411 of the fixing portion 41 has a reaction projection 413, and the reaction projection 413 is the highest of the fixing portion 41 in a direction perpendicular to the top wall 21 and abuts against the top wall 21. In this embodiment, the distal end 411 has a plurality of reaction force protrusions 413 arranged in a row and spaced apart from each other.
When the fixing portion 41 is snap-connected to the connecting portion 3, the reaction protrusion 413, which is located at the distal end 411 and protrudes toward the top wall 21 than the other portion of the fixing portion 41, abuts against the top wall 21 and receives the reaction force of the top wall 21. A lever base point 6 is formed between the fixing portion 41 and the connecting portion 3, and the lever base point 6 is located between the extending portion 42 and the reaction force protrusion 413. Under the reaction force, the extended portion 42 (particularly, the tip end of the extended portion 42) has a movement around the lever base point 6 and toward the top wall 21 so that the tip end of the extended portion 42 comes closer to the top wall 21.
In this embodiment, the lever base point 6 is located between the proximal end 412 of the fixing portion 41 and the connecting portion 3. Specifically, the lever base 6 is formed at the hooking portion of the first and second latch protrusions 32 and 46 at the side of the proximal end 412. In the present embodiment, since the connecting portion 3 and the fixing portion 41 have a plurality of hooking portions therebetween, a plurality of lever base points 6 are located in the same plane between the connecting portion 3 and the fixing portion 41.
In the above embodiment, the reaction projection 413 is provided at the distal end 411 of the fixing portion 41, it being understood that in an alternative embodiment it is also possible for the reaction projection to be formed on the top wall 21 and to abut against the fixing portion 41.
In the present embodiment, the extension 42 includes the guide wall 422 that faces downward and is inclined upward in the front-to-rear direction, that is, a portion of the guide wall 422 near the front opening 11 is lower than a portion of the guide wall 422 near the fixing portion 41. Preferably, the guide wall 422 has a curved surface recessed toward the top wall 21.
The end of the extension 42 has a cover wall 421 connected to the front end of the guide wall 422, and the cover wall 421 is substantially perpendicular to the top wall 21 and protrudes upward toward the top wall 21. Under the action of the reaction protrusion 413 and the lever base 6, the cover wall 421 is forced upward and can be closer to the top wall 21, even can abut against the top wall 21, which is beneficial for a smaller and uniform gap between the cover wall 412 and the top wall 21, so that air can be effectively prevented from entering the gap between the cover wall 412 and the top wall 21.
The extension portion 42 may further include a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 44 spaced apart from each other and connecting the cover wall 421 and the guide wall 422, and second reinforcing ribs 45 extending in a direction parallel to the cover wall 421 and connecting the first reinforcing ribs 44, thereby reducing deformation of the extension portion 42 in a direction perpendicular to the top wall 21.
When the user closes the storage compartment 10, the relatively high temperature "warm air" just entering the storage compartment 10 flows upward along the inner side of the door, and smoothly enters and flows rearward under guidance of the "warm air" guide wall 422 near the top wall 21, so that moisture in the "warm air" can be removed by contacting the top wall 21 cooled by the first evaporator 5 after the "warm air" can flow to the lath-shaped member 4, which is advantageous for gathering frost in the storage compartment 10 at a position not easily observed by the user, so that the user does not have to defrost too frequently, and at the same time, since the frost can be relatively concentrated, it is also advantageous for improving defrosting efficiency.
In the above embodiment, the main function of the lath-like member 4 is to guide the air flowing backward to frost in a place particularly troubling the user. However, the invention should not be limited thereto, but other embodiments are possible. For example, in other embodiments, the lath like member 4 may also be used to maintain a spacing between evaporator tubes located within the storage compartment 10, as described in WO2012/028445 above.
Further, in the above embodiment, the lath-like member 4 is connected to the top wall 21. However, the invention should not be limited thereto, but other embodiments are possible. In different embodiments, the lath shaped members 4 may be mounted on other walls of the storage compartment 10, such as a rear wall, side walls, a bottom wall, depending on the purpose of use.
The various embodiments of the individual components described in connection with fig. 1-2 may be combined with each other in any given manner to achieve the technical effects of the invention. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments, and other means than those shown may be generally used as long as the same effects are obtained.
