Detailed Description

The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative only and are not to be construed as limiting the utility model.

Embodiments of the utility model: as shown in fig. 2 and 19 to 23, a horizontal refrigerator is disclosed, which has a cabinet body 1 having a storage space 10, a refrigerating unit provided on the cabinet body 1, and a door body for opening or closing an opening of the storage space 10, the storage space 10 being provided to be opened upward. In this embodiment, the horizontal refrigerator is a direct-cooling horizontal refrigerator, that is, a direct-cooling mode is adopted to cool the articles stored in the storage space 10.

Specifically, the refrigerating unit includes a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device, and an evaporator, which are sequentially connected, the cabinet body 1 has an inner container 11 forming the storage space 10, and a housing 12 disposed outside the inner container 11, as shown in fig. 3, and the evaporator includes an evaporation tube 2 wound outside the inner container 11; the evaporation tube transmits cold energy into the storage space 10 in a natural radiation manner and is used for refrigerating the articles stored in the storage space 10.

In the prior art, since the cold energy is transferred from the inner wall of the storage space 10 to the middle, the size of the storage space 10 is generally larger, and the larger size inevitably causes uneven cold energy in the storage space 10, which is specifically shown as more sufficient cold energy at a position closer to the inner wall of the storage space 10. In addition, since the storage space 10 is disposed with the opening upwards, and the upper side of the whole storage space 10 is opened, the cooling capacity at the opening position of the storage space 10 is seriously dissipated outwards, and the difference between the cooling capacity at the position of the storage space 10 close to the opening and the cooling capacity of the storage space 10 close to the bottom is caused, which is specifically shown that the cooling capacity is more sufficient in the area close to the bottom of the storage space 10, and the cooling capacity is relatively insufficient at the opening position of the storage space 10.

In this embodiment, in order to make the cooling capacity in the direct-cooling horizontal refrigerator more uniform, the storage space is further provided with a temperature equalizing module 3, and the temperature equalizing module 3 is configured to transmit the cooling capacity in the cooling capacity sufficient area in the storage space 10 to the cooling capacity insufficient area, so that the cooling capacity in the storage space 10 is more uniform.

In this embodiment, the temperature equalizing module 3 has a housing 31 positioned in the storage space 10, an air inlet 33, an air outlet 34, an air duct communicating the air inlet 33 and the air outlet 34, and a turbo fan 32 driving cold energy to flow from the air inlet 33 to the air outlet 34, which are disposed on the housing 31; the turbo fan 32 has an axial air inlet side 321 and a radial air outlet side 322; the air duct comprises an air inlet duct 351 arranged between the air inlet 33 and the axial air inlet side 321 and an air outlet duct 352 arranged between the radial air outlet side 322 and the air outlet 34;

The housing 31 has a cover plate 317 and a base 316 mated with the cover plate 317, the turbo-fan 32 being disposed between the base 316 and the cover plate 317; a cover plate through hole 3170 is arranged on the cover plate 317 opposite to the axial air inlet side 321; the housing 31 further has an air duct cover 310 disposed on the cover 317, the air duct cover 310 is covered outside the cover through hole 3170, and the air inlet duct 351 is formed between the air duct cover 310 and the cover 317.

The cold energy enters the air inlet duct 351 from the air inlet 33 and is then transmitted to the air outlet 34 at the left and right lower sides of the volute fan 32, so that the cold energy in the storage space 10 is transmitted, the cold energy in a cold energy sufficient region is transmitted to a cold energy insufficient region, and the homogenization of the cold energy in the storage space 10 is further realized.

In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the temperature equalizing module 3 is positioned on the inner wall of the storage space 10, and is detachably mounted and fixed on the inner wall of the storage space 10. Specifically, the housing 31 is supported between two opposite inner walls of the storage space 10. It should be noted that the bottom of the storage space 10 is a bottom wall opposite to the opening of the storage space in the storage space, and the inner wall of the storage space 10 is perpendicular to the bottom wall.

The setting of above-mentioned structure can be better realize that the installation of casing 31 is fixed, and owing to the location support is on the inner wall of storing space 10, the space of storing space 10 bottom is not taken up to casing 31 after the location. Of course, in other embodiments, the housing 31 of the temperature equalizing module 3 may be mounted and fixed on only one inner wall of the storage space 10, but the mounting stability is relatively poor compared with the solution of being supported between two inner walls.

In this embodiment, the casing 31 extends in the depth direction of the storage space 10, the air inlet 33 is disposed at a position on the casing 31 near the bottom of the storage space 10, the air outlet 34 is disposed at a position on the casing 31 near the opening of the storage space 10, and the arrangement of the above structure can transfer the cold energy at the bottom of the storage space 10 to the opening position, so that the cold energy at the opening of the storage space 10 can be rapidly supplemented after the door is opened, and the shortage of cold energy due to the loss of the cold energy at the opening of the storage space can be avoided.

In this embodiment, a gap portion 100 is formed between the bottom of the housing 31 and the bottom of the storage space 10, and the air inlet 33 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 31 and opens to the gap portion 100.

In this embodiment, since the gap portion 100 is disposed between the temperature equalizing module 3 and the bottom of the storage space 10, the temperature equalizing module 3 is actually disposed in an overhead manner. The gap part is arranged at the bottom of the temperature equalization module 3, so that the flow and convergence of ambient cooling capacity at the bottom of the temperature equalization module 3 can be facilitated, and the cooling capacity can be better transmitted from the bottom of the storage space 10 to the opening position of the storage space 10.

The housing 31 is formed in a plate shape as a whole and extends in the opening direction of the storage space 10 to divide the storage space 10 into a first compartment 101 and a second compartment 102 arranged in parallel, and the gap 100 communicates the first compartment 101 and the second compartment 102.

In this embodiment, the shell 31 is actually equivalent to a partition board, the shell 31 separates the storage space 10 into two compartments, and the separation of the storage space 10 is realized by the shell 31, so that the partition management of the storage space 10 can be realized, and the user needs can be better satisfied.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the cabinet 1 has a length direction and a width direction, and the housing 31 is extended along the width direction of the cabinet 1 and is supported on two inner walls of the storage space 10 opposite to each other in the width direction. The first compartment 101 and the second compartment 102 partitioned by the housing 31 are adjacently arranged along the length direction of the cabinet. It should be noted that the case 31 extends along the width direction of the cabinet 1 means that the plane of the case 31 is parallel to the width direction of the cabinet 1. In the arrangement of the above structure, the temperature equalizing module 3 is actually installed at the middle position of the length direction of the cabinet body 1, so that the arrangement of the structure can avoid uneven cooling in the separated compartments caused by excessively long and narrow compartments.

Of course, in other embodiments, the housing 31 may also extend along the length of the cabinet 1, but has a relatively poorer temperature equalizing effect on the partitioned compartments than that of the housing 1 extending along the width of the cabinet 1.

The housing 31 further has a connector 3171 disposed between the air duct cover 310 and the cover 317, the connector 3171, the cover 317 and the air duct cover 310 enclose the air inlet 351, and the air inlet 33 is disposed at the bottom of the connector 3171.

The connecting member 3171 comprises a plurality of coamings integrally formed on the cover plate 317, and a plurality of coamings are surrounded around the cover plate through hole 3170; the coaming includes the coaming that sets up apron through-hole 3170 bottom, the air intake sets up down on the coaming, just down the coaming setting is being close to the position of apron 317 bottom.

Of course, in other embodiments, the connector 3171 may be integrally formed on the air duct cover 310, and a groove body is formed on a side of the air duct cover 310 facing the cover 317, where the groove body is opposite to the air inlet hole 3170 and completely covers the air inlet hole 3170. The air inlet 33 may be disposed at the bottom of the duct cover 310.

In this embodiment, an air deflector 3161 is further disposed between the base 316 and the cover plate 317, and the air outlet duct 352 is defined between the air deflector 3461, the cover plate 317 and the base 316; the air deflector 3161 is integrally formed on the base 316, and one end of the air deflector 3161 away from the base 316 is fixedly attached to the cover 317.

It will be appreciated that in this embodiment the housing 31 may also be mounted and secured in the storage space by adhesive means, or that the mounting and securing of the housing 31 may be achieved in other ways.

In the above embodiment, the air inlet duct 351 is disposed between the duct cover 310 and the cover 317 by providing the duct cover 310 on the cover 317, and then the cover through hole 3170 is provided on the cover 317 to achieve communication between the air inlet duct 351 and the axial air inlet side 321.

In another embodiment, the turbo fan 32 may be installed and fixed in the casing 31, that is, the turbo fan 32 is disposed between the base 316 and the cover 317, and no opening is required to be disposed on the cover 317 or the base 316, but separation of the air inlet duct 351 and the air outlet duct 352 is achieved by disposing the air guide 37 in the casing 31, and meanwhile, an air guide gap is disposed between the turbo fan 32 and the cover 317, so that it is not required to provide a cover through hole 3170 on the cover 317, but the air inlet 33 is disposed at the bottom of the casing 31, so that the temperature equalizing module 3 is directly exposed to a region with sufficient cooling capacity in the storage space 10 after being installed.

In this embodiment, the housing 31 has a base 316 and a cover 317 mated with the base 316, the fan module further has a scroll casing 36 disposed on the base 316, the turbine fan 32 is disposed in the scroll casing 36, the scroll casing 36 has a scroll casing air inlet 361 opposite to the axial air inlet side 321, a scroll casing air outlet 362 opposite to the radial air outlet side 322, and a scroll casing cavity communicating the scroll casing air inlet 361 and the scroll casing air outlet 362, the turbine fan 32 is disposed in the scroll casing cavity, the air inlet 351 is formed between the scroll casing air inlet 361 and the air inlet 33, and the air outlet 352 is formed between the scroll casing air outlet 362 and the air outlet 34.

As shown in fig. 13, in this embodiment, for the sake of convenience in mounting and fixing the fan module, the turbine fan 32 is fixed on the base 316, and the volute 36 is covered outside the turbine fan 32 and is mounted and fixed on the base 316. The base 316 is provided with a volute locating plate adapted to the volute 36, and the volute 36 is buckled on the volute locating plate.

Because the front side in the opening direction of the volute air inlet 361 needs to be provided with a gap between the front side direction of the volute air inlet 361 and the cover plate 317, in order to avoid the overall thickness of the casing 31 being larger, the base 316 is provided with an outwardly protruding fan mounting portion, the fan mounting portion is provided with a fan mounting groove arranged inwards, the opening of the fan mounting groove faces the cover plate 317, the arrangement of the mounting groove actually provides an avoidance, and the outwardly protruding fan mounting portion is increased only at the mounting position of the fan, so that the thickness of the whole casing 31 is prevented from being increased under the premise of meeting the fan mounting condition.

It will be appreciated that in another embodiment, a fan mounting portion protruding outwards may be provided on the cover plate 317 and at a position of the scroll fan 32, and a fan mounting groove provided toward the base opening may be provided on an inner side of the fan mounting portion.

As shown in fig. 11-17, the temperature equalization module 3 further has an air guide 37, the air guide 37 has an air guide body 371 disposed between the base 316 and the cover 317 and a communication hole 372 disposed on the air guide body 371, the air guide body 371 divides the inner cavity of the housing 31 into an air outlet cavity communicating with the air outlet 34 and an air inlet cavity communicating with the air inlet 33;

the communication hole 372 communicates the air outlet cavity with the air inlet cavity; the volute 36 is disposed at the position of the communication hole 372, the volute air outlet 362 is opposite to the position of the communication hole 372, the volute air inlet 361 is directly exposed to the air inlet cavity, the air inlet channel 351 is disposed in the air inlet cavity, and the air outlet channel 352 is disposed in the air outlet cavity or the air outlet cavity directly forms the air outlet channel 352.

Because the turbo fan 32 is used as a power source for transferring cold, the air outlet cavity and the air inlet cavity are relatively arranged at the upper side and the lower side of the communication hole 372 in the vertical direction for realizing high-efficiency transmission of cold.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 10, opposite sides of the air guiding body 371 are respectively fixed to the cover 317 and the base 316, and the air guiding body 371 is clamped and fixed between the cover 317 and the base 316.

In this embodiment, the air duct is actually formed by arranging the air guide 37 in the housing 31, and in order to better realize the transmission of the cold energy in the air duct, the air guide 37 is a foam member arranged between the cover plate 317 and the base 316.

The air guide piece 37 is arranged to be a foam piece, so that the air guide piece 37 can be attached to the base 316 and the cover plate 317 more tightly on the basis of reducing cost and weight, the foam piece can bear certain deformation, and the foam piece can be attached to the cover plate 317 or the base 316 only in a pressing mode.

In the prior art, the air deflector is generally integrally injection molded on the base 316, and one end of the air deflector far away from the base 316 is attached to the cover plate 317 to form an air channel between the air deflector, the cover plate 317 and the base 316. One end of the air deflector attached to the cover plate 317 in the prior art is difficult to be completely attached to the cover plate 317, so that a gap exists between the air deflector and the cover plate 317, and when cold is transferred in the air duct, the cold can leak out of the gap, thereby influencing the efficiency of cold transfer in the air duct.

According to the embodiment, the air guide piece 37 made of foam materials is clamped between the cover plate 317 and the base 316, so that two opposite sides of the air guide piece 37 can be attached to the cover plate 317 and the base 316, gaps are avoided between the air guide piece 37 and the cover plate 317 or between the air guide piece 37 and the base 316, leakage of cold energy cannot occur when the cold energy is transmitted in the air duct, and the cold energy can be more efficiently discharged from the air inlet and then the air outlet along the extending direction of the air duct.

In order to reduce the thickness of the entire housing 31, in this embodiment, the side of the volute 36 facing the base 316 is not provided with a cover plate, but directly uses the base 316, so that the base 316 forms a side wall enclosing a volute cavity, that is, an open slot is formed on the side of the volute 36 facing the base 316, and the base 316 is blocked at the opening position of the open slot to form the volute cavity.

As shown in fig. 13, the scroll casing 36 needs to be formed into the inner wall of the scroll casing cavity by the base 316, and the scroll casing 36 needs to be generally tightly attached to the base 316, but in the actual manufacturing process, a gap exists between the scroll casing 36 and the base 316, and the existence of the gap can cause the cold to leak out from the side of the air duct, so that the release efficiency of the cold of the air outlet 34 is reduced; and if a complete fit of the volute 36 to the base 316 is required, the difficulty of the machining process is high, and the cost is increased.

As shown in fig. 12 and 15-17, in order to reduce the lateral exposure of the cold energy during the transmission in the air duct, the air guide 37 further has a volute positioning portion 373 provided on the air guide body 371; the volute positioning portion 373 is fixedly attached to the base 316 and has a positioning groove 374 (shown in fig. 17) that is adapted to the volute 36, and the positioning groove 374 has an opening that is exposed toward the communication hole 372, that is, the positioning groove 374 communicates with the communication hole 372.

The volute 36 is positioned in the positioning groove 374 and between the volute positioning portion 373 and the base 316, and a positioning portion through hole 375 is provided on the volute positioning portion 373 opposite to the position of the volute air inlet 361; the positioning portion through hole 375 is used for exposing the volute air inlet 361 outwards, an air guiding gap is formed between the volute positioning portion 373 and the cover plate 317, the positioning portion through hole 375 is exposed towards the air guiding gap, and it can be understood that the air guiding gap is located in the air inlet cavity.

After the air guide piece 37 is installed and fixed, the volute positioning part 373 is attached to the base 316, the volute positioning part 373 can be regarded as a cover to be arranged outside the volute 36, the volute positioning part 373 can play a role of fixedly supporting the volute 36, meanwhile, as the volute positioning part 373 serving as a foam piece can be better pressed and attached to the base 316, the volute positioning part 373 is actually sealed outside the volute 36, and the leakage of cold energy from a gap between the volute 36 and the base 316 in the transmission process can be avoided.

In this embodiment, the volute positioning portion 373 attached to the base 316 is provided outside the volute 36, so that the problem of leakage of cold energy caused by a gap between the volute 36 and the base 316 can be effectively solved.

In this embodiment, the volute positioning portion 373 and the air guiding body 371 are integrally formed and made of foam material, however, in other embodiments, a material with a certain deformation such as rubber may be used, so that the air guiding member 37 can be tightly attached to the cover plate 317 and the base 316 when clamped between the base 316 and the cover plate 317.

As shown in fig. 16 to 17, the air guide body 371 has a first lower guide portion 3711 and a second lower guide portion 3712 disposed at opposite sides of the communication hole 372, and the first lower guide portion 3711 and the second lower guide portion 3712 are used for guiding and converging the cold air of the air intake 33 toward the communication hole 372.

Due to the existence of the volute positioning portion 373 and the positioning through hole 375, the first lower guide portion 3711 and the second lower guide portion 3712 are also disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the positioning through hole 375.
