Refrigerators are required to be provided with different temperature zones, such as a freezing zone, a refrigerating zone, and a temperature change zone, because storage conditions required for different articles are different. Existing refrigerators generally provide a partition plate in a freezing zone, and a thermal insulation material is placed in the partition plate to divide the freezing zone into two independent temperature zones.

In the related art, there are some methods for foaming the partition plate, for example, firstly assembling the partition plate with the liner, then foaming the partition plate alone, and not foaming the partition plate with the box body secondarily.

There are also methods for foaming the partition plate, for example, after the partition plate is foamed alone, the partition plate is foamed for the second time with the assembly of the liner.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator 1 including a cabinet 10 and a liner 20. The case 10 is formed with an installation space, the liner 20 is installed in the installation space, the structure of the liner 20 is shown in fig. 2, the liner 20 is formed with a storage cavity 21 with an opening, the storage cavity 21 is used for placing articles, and the storage cavity 21 can be a freezing chamber or a refrigerating chamber. Through holes are formed in the outer shell of the refrigerator body 10 in advance, when foaming materials are filled, foaming agents are injected into gaps between the outer shell of the refrigerator body 10 and the inner container 20 through the through holes, and the foaming agents rapidly expand and fill the gaps and solidify to form a heat insulation interlayer, so that heat preservation of the refrigerator 1 is achieved.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the refrigerator 1 further includes a partition plate assembly 30, the partition plate assembly 30 being transversely disposed to the storage chamber 21 in a depth direction of the storage chamber 21, and a portion of the partition plate assembly 30 adjacent to an inner wall (a side wall portion of the inner wall) of the storage chamber 21 being connected to an inner wall of the liner 20 to partition the storage chamber 21 into two chambers. The partition board assembly 30 is filled with foaming materials, and can form an insulating layer, so that the storage cavity 21 forms two independent temperature areas, different articles can be stored, and the using function of the refrigerator 1 is increased. Illustratively, the two chambers may be a soft freeze compartment (temperature swing compartment) and a freeze compartment.

Illustratively, the baffle assembly 30 may be fixedly coupled to the liner 20 by fasteners such as screws, bolts, and the like.

Of course, other connection means are possible between the diaphragm assembly 30 and the liner 20. For example, the separator assembly 30 and the liner 20 may be connected by a snap-fit connection. Specifically, the inner wall of the liner 20 may be recessed or protruded in a direction perpendicular to the depth of the storage cavity 21, and the side edge of the partition assembly 30 may be correspondingly protruded or recessed, so that the partition assembly 30 may be engaged with the liner 20, thereby connecting the partition assembly 30 with the inner wall of the liner 20.

In some other possible embodiments, the partition assembly 30 and the liner 20 may be magnetically connected. Specifically, a first magnetic attraction portion is disposed on the inner wall of the inner container 20, a second magnetic attraction portion is disposed on a side edge portion of the partition board assembly 30, which is close to the inner wall of the inner container 20, and magnetic poles of the first magnetic attraction portion and the second magnetic attraction portion are opposite, so that the partition board assembly 30 is connected with the inner wall of the inner container 20 under the magnetic attraction effect of the first magnetic attraction portion and the second magnetic attraction portion. The first and second magnetic attraction portions may each be a magnet, or one may be a magnet and the other may be a metal that may be magnetized, for example.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5 to 7, at least one first foam inlet hole 2221 is formed in the inner container 20, a foam inlet cavity 400 is formed between the partition board assembly 30 and the inner container 20, and the foam material in the gap between the outer shell of the case 10 (see fig. 1) and the inner container 20 can enter the foam inlet cavity 400 through the at least one first foam inlet hole 2221 and fill the foam inlet cavity 400. In this way, the problem of the gap generated when the liner 20 is assembled with the diaphragm assembly 30 can be solved, thereby ensuring the sealing effect between the liner 20 and the diaphragm assembly 30.

At least one second foam-forming cell 3011 and a foam cavity 306 are formed on the separator assembly 30, and the foam cavity 306 communicates with the at least one second foam-forming cell 3011, the foam material being able to enter the foam cavity 306 from the at least one second foam-forming cell 3011. As such, the foamed material can fill the at least one first foam inlet cell 2221, the foam inlet chamber 400, the at least one second foam inlet cell 3011, and the foam chamber 306, such that the separator assembly 30 can form an insulation layer. In this way, the sealing effect between the liner 20 and the partition plate assembly 30 is ensured, and meanwhile, the temperature controllability of the temperature areas at two sides of the partition plate assembly 30 can be improved, and finally, the using effect of the refrigerator 1 is improved.

Illustratively, the shapes of the first and second progressive cells 2221, 3011 may be set as desired, which is not limited in this embodiment. The shape of the first and second progressive cells 2221 and 3011 may be circular, elliptical, etc.

Of course, the number and arrangement of the first and second foam cells 2221 and 3011 may be set as required, which is not limited in this embodiment. When the first and second advance holes 2221 and 3011 are plural, the first advance holes 2221 may be disposed on the inner container 20 at intervals in the depth direction of the storage chamber 21, and the second advance holes 3011 may be disposed on one side of the partition plate assembly 30 close to the inner wall of the storage chamber 21 at intervals in the depth direction of the storage chamber 21.

It can be appreciated that the inner wall, i.e. the three inner side walls, of the inner container 20 connected to the partition board assembly 30 may be provided with first foam holes 2221, and the partition board assembly 30 may be close to the inner container 20, i.e. the three side edge portions of the partition board assembly 30 may also be provided with second foam holes 3011. When the foam material fills the baffle assembly 30 through the first foam inlet holes 2221 by the space between the casing of the box 10 and the liner 20, the foam material can enter the inside of the baffle assembly 30 from the periphery of the baffle assembly 30 at the same time, so that the filling efficiency and the quality can be improved, the heat insulation layer can be formed in the baffle assembly 30 quickly, and the heat insulation effect can be ensured.

Of course, the second through holes 3011 may be provided only on one or both side portions of the separator assembly 30, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In some other possible embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 7, the blister cavity 400 communicates with at least one first blister cavity 2221, while the blister cavity 400 also communicates with at least one second blister cavity 3011. Accordingly, the foaming material in the gap between the casing of the case 10 and the inner container 20 can sequentially enter the foaming chamber 306 from the at least one first foam inlet chamber 2221, the foam inlet chamber 400, the at least one second foam inlet chamber 3011 under the action of pressure, and fills the at least one first foam inlet chamber 2221, the foam inlet chamber 400, the at least one second foam inlet chamber 3011, and the foaming chamber 306, so that the foaming materials in the at least one first foam inlet chamber 2221, the foam inlet chamber 400, the at least one second foam inlet chamber 3011, and the foaming chamber 306 are connected as a unit to form an insulation layer.

In addition, the foam material enters the baffle assembly 30 from the outside of the liner 20 and has continuity, so that the problem of gaps between the liner 20 and the baffle assembly 30 due to assembly is solved, the sealing effect between the liner 20 and the baffle assembly 30 is ensured, the temperature controllability of temperature areas at two sides of the baffle assembly 30 is further improved, and the using effect of the refrigerator 1 is finally improved.

In addition, the heat-insulating layer can be formed by only one foaming process, so that the production process is simplified and the cost is reduced while the heat-insulating property of the partition board assembly 30 is ensured.

In some embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 7, the axis of the first cell 2221 and the axis of the second cell 3011 are parallel, that is, the first cell 2221 and the second cell 3011 are offset in the height direction of the storage chamber 21 (see fig. 6). When the foaming material reaches the second foam-advancing cell 3011 through the foam-advancing cavity 400 from the first foam-advancing cell 2221, the foaming material moves from the area near the first foam-advancing cell 2221 to the area near the second foam-advancing cell 3011 to be filled, at which time the foam-advancing cavity 400 can be filled with more area than in the case where the first foam-advancing cell 2221 and the second foam-advancing cell 3011 are disposed opposite to each other.

It will be appreciated that when the first foam inlet holes 2221 and the second foam inlet holes 3011 are arranged in a staggered manner, when the foaming material moves from the first foam inlet holes 2221 to the second foam inlet holes 3011, the movement path of the foaming material is longer, so that the area filled in the foam inlet cavity 400 is more, the foaming material is facilitated to quickly fill the partition board assembly 30, and meanwhile, the filling quality of the foaming material can be ensured, namely, the foaming material can be ensured to be filled to all positions of the foam inlet cavity 400.

Illustratively, the first access hole 2221 is located above the second access hole 3011 in the height direction of the storage chamber 21. Of course, it is understood that the first progressive cavity 2221 may also be located below the second progressive cavity 3011.

Of course, the refrigerator 1 provided by the application can also be provided with two rows of second foam holes 3011, wherein one row of second foam holes 3011 is located above the first foam holes 2221, and the other row of second foam holes 3011 is located below the first foam holes 2221. In the opposite way, namely, the refrigerator 1 provided by the application can be provided with two rows of first foam inlet holes 2221, wherein one row of first foam inlet holes 2221 are positioned above the second foam inlet holes 3011, and the other row of first foam inlet holes 2221 are positioned below the second foam inlet holes 3011.

Likewise, when the refrigerator 1 provided by the present application is provided with a plurality of rows of first entering cells 2221 and a plurality of rows of second entering cells 3011, one row of first entering cells 2221 is located between two adjacent rows of second entering cells 3011, and one row of first entering cells 2221 adjacent to the row is located between two other adjacent rows of second entering cells 3011.

In some other embodiments, the axis of the first cell 2221 and the axis of the second cell 3011 are coincident, that is, the first cell 2221 is disposed opposite the second cell 3011. In this way, the foaming material can smoothly pass through the first foam inlet holes 2221, pass through the foam inlet holes 400 and then pass through the second foam inlet holes 3011 to finally reach the foaming cavity 306, so that the foaming material is filled in at least one first foam inlet holes 2221, the foam inlet holes 400, at least one second foam inlet holes 3011 and the foaming cavity 306, and the foaming material in the at least one first foam inlet holes 2221, the foam inlet holes 400, the at least one second foam inlet holes 3011 and the foaming cavity 306 is connected into a whole to form an insulation layer.

In addition, the refrigerator 1 provided by the application can improve the controllability of the temperature of the two side temperature areas of the baffle plate assembly 30 while ensuring the sealing effect between the liner 20 and the baffle plate assembly 30, and finally improves the using effect of the refrigerator 1.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 8, baffle assembly 30 further includes an insulating plate 307, insulating plate 307 being disposed within foaming chamber 306 and centered within foaming chamber 306. The foaming material is introduced into the foaming chamber 306 from the foaming chamber 400 through the second foaming hole 3011 by pressure, and the more the foaming material is filled into the center of the foaming chamber 306, the greater the pressure is required.

For example, in the case where the second foam-forming cells 3011 are provided on each of the three side edge portions of the separator assembly 30, the foam material is simultaneously introduced into the inside of the separator assembly 30 from around the separator assembly 30, and the greater the required pressure when the foam material fills up to the central position of the foam chamber 306. The heat insulation plate 307 is arranged in the center of the foaming cavity 306, so that the heat insulation performance of the heat insulation layer can be prevented from being influenced due to insufficient filling density of the foaming material, and the heat insulation performance of the heat insulation layer is ensured.

Of course, in some other possible embodiments, the insulation board 307 may be disposed at other positions of the foaming chamber 306, as required. For example, in the case where the second foam-forming cells 3011 are provided on only one of the side portions of the separator assembly 30, the foaming material enters the inside of the foaming chamber 306 from the second foam-forming cells 3011, and when the foaming material fills to the vicinity of the side portion of the separator assembly 30 opposite to the side portion on which the second foam-forming cells 3011 are provided, the required pressure becomes large, and at this time, the heat-insulating plate 307 may be placed in the vicinity of the side portion opposite to the side portion on which the second foam-forming cells 3011 are provided, so as to prevent the insufficient filling density of the foaming material from affecting the heat-insulating performance of the heat-insulating layer, thereby ensuring the heat-insulating performance of the heat-insulating layer.

Illustratively, the material of the insulation board 307 may be one or a combination of several of ultra-thin insulation boards (Super THIN PANEL, STP for short), vacuum insulation boards (Vacuum Insulation Panel, VIP for short), polystyrene foam boards (Expanded Polystyrene Board, EPS for short), and the like.

The STP board is made of inorganic fiber core materials and high-barrier vacuum composite films through a vacuumizing packaging technology, has certain thermal resistance and can play a certain role in heat preservation. The VIP plate is made based on the vacuum heat insulation principle, and achieves heat insulation and heat conduction by maximally improving the vacuum degree in the plate and filling the heat insulation material of the core layer, thereby achieving the purposes of heat preservation and energy conservation. EPS foam board is a white object formed by heating expandable polystyrene beads containing volatile liquid foaming agent in a mold after heating and pre-expanding, and has the structural characteristics of fine closed pores and the like. Therefore, the EPS foam board has excellent heat insulation performance.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6 and 8, the partition assembly 30 is connected to the inner wall of the liner 20, and a connection seam (not shown) is formed at the connection point of the partition assembly 30 and the inner wall of the liner 20, and the connection seam may be a gap generated when the partition assembly 30 and the liner 20 are assembled. The refrigerator 1 further includes a sealing material 500, and the connection joint is filled with the sealing material 500, so that the foaming material in the foaming chamber 400 can be prevented from entering the storage chamber 21 through the connection joint.

In this way, the foam material can fill the foam cavity 400 and cannot leak from the foam cavity 400 to the storage cavity 21, so that the sealing performance between the partition board assembly 30 and the liner 20 is improved, and the heat insulation performance of the heat insulation layer is ensured.

Illustratively, the sealing material 500 may be a sponge, rubber, or the like.

In some possible embodiments, the sealing material 500 may be filled at the position where the diaphragm assembly 30 contacts the liner 20, that is, around the diaphragm assembly 30, so that the sealing path may be prolonged, the sealing area may be increased, and the sealing effect between the diaphragm assembly 30 and the liner 20 may be improved.

The sealing material 500 may be disposed on the inner wall of the liner 20, or the sealing material 500 may be disposed on the baffle plate assembly 30, although it is understood that the sealing material 500 may be disposed on both the inner wall of the liner 20 and the baffle plate assembly 30.

In some embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 7, the liner 20 is provided with a bubble inlet portion 22 recessed in a direction away from the storage chamber 21, the bubble inlet portion 22 being a portion of the inner wall of the liner 20 recessed in a direction toward the outer shell of the case 10, the recessed portion defining an installation space. The partition plate assembly 30 can extend into the installation space and be connected with the recessed portion, so that a space, i.e., a foam inlet chamber 400, is defined between the partition plate assembly 30 and the inner wall of the recess, and at least one first foam inlet hole 2221 is provided in the foam inlet portion 22. In this way, the foaming material can enter the foam inlet cavity 400 from the space between the outer shell of the box body 10 and the inner container 20 through at least one first foam inlet hole 2221 on the foam inlet part 22, so that the filling continuity of the foaming material is ensured, and the sealing effect between the inner container 20 and the partition board assembly 30 is improved.
