Detailed Description

For a further understanding of the objects, constructions, features, and functions of the present application, the cooperating embodiments are described in detail below.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the refrigerator 10 includes a cabinet 1, the cabinet 1 having an inner case 2, the inner case 2 defining a storage compartment 21 of a front opening 20, the storage compartment 21 storing articles to be cooled. A door 3 is provided at the front opening 20 of the storage compartment 21, and the door 3 is used to open or close the storage compartment 21.

The inner case 2 includes a rear wall 23 at the rear side of the storage compartment 21 and a top wall 22 at the top of the storage compartment.

The inner box 2 is further provided with a first air duct cover plate 6 and a second air duct cover plate 8. A second air duct 4 is arranged between the second air duct cover plate 8 and the rear wall 23; a fan 9 and an evaporator are arranged in the second air duct 4. A first air duct 7 is arranged between the first air duct cover plate 6 and the top wall 22; the first air duct 7 is communicated with the second air duct 4. Specifically, the cool air cooled by the evaporator is blown by the fan 9, enters the first air duct 7 from the second air duct 4, passes through the front end portion 61 near the front opening 20, and then flows obliquely downward from the air outlet 610 of the front end portion 61 to the storage chamber 21 to cool each article in the storage chamber, and becomes a higher temperature air flow after taking heat in the storage chamber 21, and returns to the second air duct 4 through the air return opening 111 and enters the next air circulation.

Since the first air duct 7 is located at the top of the inner box 2, the air outlet 610 is close to the top of the door 3, and the cold air sent out is directly blown to the position of the door 3 close to the sealing ring, so that condensation of the door 3 is possible. The first duct cover plate is thus modified in order to reduce the likelihood of condensation of the door 3.

As shown in fig. 2, the first duct cover 6 is disposed along the top wall 22. The top wall 22 includes a first horizontal wall 221, an inclined wall 220, and a second horizontal wall 222. The second horizontal wall 222 extends from the rear to the front from the rear wall 23; the inclined wall 220 is connected to the second horizontal wall 222, and the inclined wall 220 is closer to the front opening 20 than the second horizontal wall 222 and is inclined downward in the rear-to-front direction; the first horizontal wall 221 is connected to the inclined wall 220 and extends forward in the horizontal direction to be close to the door 3.

The first duct cover 6 includes a horizontal portion 62 extending along the second horizontal wall 222 and a front end portion 61 inclined downward along the inclined wall 220. An air outlet 610 is provided at the front end portion 61. The air outlet 610 is inclined upward in a rear-to-front direction, thereby changing the flow direction of the air flow, so that the air flow flows downward from the air outlet 610 to the storage compartment 21 along the first air duct, which is advantageous in reducing the possibility of condensation of the door 3.

According to one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, the air outlet 610 is located at the front lower side of the inclined wall 220, and the extension line of the inclined wall 220 intersects with the plane in which the air outlet 610 is located.

The air outlet 610 and the first horizontal wall 221 are both adjacent to the front opening 20 of the storage chamber 21, and intersect the first horizontal wall 221 along an extension line of the inclined direction of the air outlet 610. More specifically, the angle α between the extended line along the inclined direction of the air outlet and the first horizontal wall 221 is 20 ° to 70 °.

The front end portion 61 includes a bottom wall 611 inclined downward along the inclined wall 220 and a side wall 612 connected to the bottom wall 611 and extending toward the top wall 22. The bottom wall 611 and the side wall 612 are surrounded around the air outlet 610. More specifically, the angle β between the bottom wall 611 and the plane of the air outlet 610 is 80 ° to 120 °.

As shown in fig. 4, a plurality of air guides 613 are provided at the air outlet 610. The air guide 613 includes a lateral air guide 6130 arranged along the lateral direction of the air outlet 610 and a longitudinal air guide 6131 arranged along the longitudinal direction of the air outlet 610. The lateral air guide plates 6130 and the longitudinal air guide plates 6131 divide the air outlet 610 into a plurality of sub air outlets 6101, thereby facilitating the relatively uniform flow of air to the storage chamber.

According to one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, a plurality of pullout drawers 5 are installed in the storage compartment 23, the drawers 5 including upper openings 51 provided toward the top wall 22, and a user stores articles in the drawers 5 through the upper openings 51; the drawer 5 comprises a handle portion 52 adjacent to the door 3 and a front panel 53. In order to reduce the flow of air blown out of the air outlet 610 of the first duct 7 into the storage space of the drawer 5, causing the cold air to form a backflow in the drawer 5, the air outlet 610 is located outside the upper opening 51 of the drawer 5. An extension line along the inclined direction of the air outlet 610 intersects the handle portion 52. According to another embodiment of the present application, the front plate 53 of the drawer 5 has a gap G with the refrigerator 10, and the air outlet 610 is adjacent to or intersects with the gap G area along the height direction of the door 3, thereby reducing inflow of cool air into the interior of the drawer 5 and improving circulation efficiency of cool air in the storage compartment.

The various embodiments of the individual components described in connection with fig. 1-4 may be combined with each other in any given manner to achieve the advantages of the present application.

The present application has been described with respect to the above-described embodiments, however, the above-described embodiments are merely examples of implementation of the present application. It should be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of the application. On the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the utility model.
