特别地,本发明还提供了一种冰箱,包括根据上述任一项的通风格栅组件。
本发明的通风格栅组件,由于格栅板安装于所述冰箱的箱体前侧下方,格栅板上开设有多个通风孔,并通过多个磁铁设置于格栅板后侧,以将格栅板固定于箱体的前侧下方,磁吸的方式操作简单,便于用户安装和拆卸。

进一步地,本发明的通风格栅组件,由于格栅板设置有多个限位部,限位部设置于 格栅板的后侧,因此,在安装格栅板时,可以自前向后地将格栅板推向箱体的前侧下部,最终连接在箱体,此时,格栅板恰好与踢脚板相平齐,格栅板后侧的限位部抵触于踢脚板的后侧,踢脚板与限位部之间的相互制约使得格栅板无法自后向前地脱离与踢脚板,保证箱体、踢脚板与格栅板三者之间良好的稳固性。此外,采用多个限位部与踢脚板相抵触的方式能够代替传统的螺接、焊接等方式,不仅能够实现拆卸方便,还能够降低零件数量和经济成本。
进一步地,本发明的通风格栅组件,第一翻边形成于格栅板的上边缘,并向后侧延伸。第二翻边形成于第一翻边的末端,并向上延伸。第三翻边形成于第二翻边的末端,并向前延伸,并且第三翻边的末端处于格栅板顶部边缘的后侧,抵接面形成于第三翻边的末端,也即第三翻边的末端需要略微后缩于格栅板顶部边缘,以避让出踢脚板的板厚度,这样当格栅板的边缘与踢脚板的预设区域边缘相对接,且两者处于平齐状态时,形成于第三翻边端部的抵接面恰好能够抵触于踢脚板的后表面,这样不会使格栅板被第三翻边向后顶进,避免踢脚板与格栅板之间出现闪缝,不平齐、不美观。

具体实施方式

参见图1和图2,图1是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱1的示意图,其示出了该冰箱1被嵌装于橱柜2的使用场景,图2是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱1中部分部件的分解图。
本发明提供一种冰箱1,该冰箱1可以单独使用,也可以作嵌入式冰箱1使用(如图1所示)。一般性地,该冰箱1可包括箱体10和门体20。
箱体10可包括外壳和多个内胆,外壳位于整体冰箱1的最外侧,以保护整个冰箱1。多个内胆被外壳包裹,并且多个内胆与外壳之间的空间中填充有保温材料(形成发泡层),以降低内胆向外散热。每个内胆可以限定出向前敞开的储物空间,并且储物空间可以被配置成冷藏室、冷冻室、变温室等等,具体的储物空间的数量和功能可以根据预先的需求进行配置。
门体20的数量还可与内胆的数量一致,即每个内胆向前敞开的储物间室均可由其对应的门体20进行开闭。门体20可动地设置于箱体10的前方,例如门体20可以通过铰接的方式设置箱体10前部的一侧,通过枢转的方式开闭储物空间。
通常,箱体10的后侧下方设置有压机舱,冰箱1的压缩机和冷凝器设置在该压机舱内。压机舱内还设置有散热风扇,以便吸入外部环境的空气,对压机舱内的压缩机和冷凝器进行散热。
由于最下方的门体20不能完全覆盖住箱体10的前侧底部,并且由于底脚14支撑作用,箱体10的底板与底面之间的底部空间12也是向前敞开的,因此,为了实现遮丑并与冰箱1的使用场景保持风格统一,在冰箱1前侧底部设置踢脚板3来装饰。然而,踢脚板3的安装可能会阻挡压机舱的散热气流,影响冰箱1的散热效率。
在一些实施例中,该冰箱1还可包括通风格栅组件30,该通风格栅组件30用于安装于冰箱1的箱体10前侧下方,以连通箱体10的底部空间12与外部环境,以提升冰箱1散热效率。
参见图2至图5,图3是根据本发明一个实施例的通风格栅组件30的格栅板310的示意图,其示出了格栅板310的前侧,图4是根据本发明一个实施例的通风格栅组件30中格栅板310的示意图,其示出了格栅板310的后侧以及其上的支撑筋315,图5是根据本发明一个实施例中通风格栅组件30、箱体10、门体20以及踢脚板3之间的组装关系示意图。
该通风格栅组件30还可包括格栅板310和多个磁铁320。格栅板310开设有多个通风孔314a。多个磁铁320设置于格栅板310后侧,以将格栅板310固定于箱体10的前侧 下方,进而使至少部分通风孔314a正对箱体10的底板与地面之间的底部空间12,以便利用通风孔314a连通底部空间12与外部环境。
具体地,格栅板310可包括连接板段312和形成于连接板段312下方的开孔板段314,多个通风孔314a开设在开孔板段314上。当多个磁铁320可设置于连接板段312的后侧,以使连接板段312与箱体10的前侧底部表面相吸附,这样开孔板段314就自然地正对底板与地面之间的底部空间12,进而其上的全部通风孔314a正对底部空间12,通风效果更佳。
本实施例的通风格栅组件30中,由于格栅板310的连接板段312固定于箱体10的前侧下方时,开孔板段314上的多个通风孔314a连通底部空间12与外部环境,这样压机舱内的散热气流就能通过多个通风孔314a与外部环境的空气进行换热。
例如,压机舱的散热方式可采用底部散热的方式。压机舱的底板(即箱体10的底板)上可开设有散热孔,压机舱内的散热气流可以先向下排入压机舱的底板与地面之间的底部环境中,然后再向前通过多个通风孔314a排入外部环境。同时,外部环境中的空气还可依次通过多个通风孔314a、底板上的散热孔进入压机舱,与散热气流形成循环。
此外,本实施例中的通风格栅组件30中,格栅板310的连接板段312与箱体10之间采用磁吸的方式进行连接。格栅板310(或者至少格栅板310的连接板段312)由磁性材料制成(例如430不锈钢等)。多个磁铁320沿横向均匀地设置于格栅板310的后侧,这样多个磁铁320可以将格栅板310吸附于箱体10(或箱体10的钣金件),实现连接。并且,磁吸的方式操作简单,便于用户安装和拆卸。
参见图4和图5,在一些实施例中,格栅板310还包括多个支撑筋315,多个支撑筋315均设置于格栅板310的后侧,并且其数量与磁铁320的数量一一对应,以支撑磁铁320,防止在长期使用过程中磁铁320由于自身重力的作用脱离原来的位置,进而防止格栅板310与箱体10脱离。
在本实施例中,支撑筋315可以为凸出于格栅板310的后侧表面的筋条,其可与格栅板310一体成型,还可通过焊接、卡接、铆接等固定方式安装在格栅板310的后侧表面。
此外,支撑筋315可设置在格栅板310的连接板段312上,也可以设置在格栅板310的开孔板段314上,只要能够将磁铁320支撑在格栅板310的连接板段312后侧即可。
支撑筋315与磁铁320的数量一一对应。以两个磁铁320为例,两个磁铁320分别设置于连接板段312的横向两侧,那么对应地,格栅板310的横向两侧分别一个支撑筋315,以支撑对应的磁铁320。
在一些实施例中,多个通风孔314a分布于高度方向上的多层。例如图3和图4所示的,多个通风孔314a以阵列的方式分布于格栅板310。多个通风孔314a可以分布在沿高度方向上的多层中,每层中均匀分布多个通风孔314a,并且每列中的多个通风孔314a沿高度方向依次排列。
当然,多个通风孔314a还可以其他方式布置。例如,在高度方向上错位排列等。只要能够充分利用格栅板310的开孔板段314,且具有一定的美观性均可。
在一些具体的实施例中,多个通风孔314a与开孔板段314的孔隙率保持在60%至70%之间。这样既可保证通风效率满足压机舱的散热需求,而且还能够保证开孔板段314的机械强度。
参见图4和图5,进一步地,支撑筋315形成于处于最高层的通风孔314a的边缘,并向后延伸。由于最高层的通风孔314a临近格栅板310的连接板段312,因此将支撑筋315设置在最高层的通风孔314a的边缘上能够满足支撑磁铁320的条件。
此外,由于支撑筋315形成于处于最高层的通风孔314a的边缘,并向后延伸,因此在制作时可以采用冲压模具来快速实现制作,这样不仅省去了繁琐的安装工序、减少零件数量,而且还能够使其与格栅板310连接更加牢固。
具体地,在制作过程中,先冲压裁剪出需要设置支撑筋315的通风孔314a,该通风孔314a的面积小于其余通风孔314a的面积。然后在利用冲压模具自前向后地对该通风孔314a的边缘进行冲压,以使部分其边缘翻折并凸出于格栅板310的后侧表面,这样不仅形成了支撑筋315,还可使该通风孔314a经过二次冲压后,与其余的通风孔314a面积保持一致。
参见图5,由于箱体10的底部前侧设置有踢脚板3,因此,当格栅板310通过多个磁铁320吸附在箱体10上时,同时还可与踢脚板3相对接,以融为一体,提升美观性。
参见图5,进一步地,由于在上述实施例中,多个磁铁320仅利用多个支撑筋315进行支撑,而未在其上方进行限位,因此,当格栅板310吸附在箱体10上时,踢脚板3的下边缘还可伸入至格栅板310的后侧,以自上而下地抵触在多个磁铁320的上表面,进而与支撑筋315在高度方向上共同约束多个磁铁320的自由度,使得磁铁320更加稳定地设置在预定位置。
参见图6至图8,图6是根据本发明另外一个实施例的通风格栅组件30中格栅板310的示意图,其示出了格栅板310的后侧以及其上的顶部翻边316、侧部翻边318和支撑筋315,图7是根据本发明另外一个实施例的通风格栅组件30中格栅板310的截面图,图8是根据本发明另外一个实施例中通风格栅组件30、箱体10、门体20以及踢脚板3之间的组装关系示意图。
在另外一些实施例中,格栅板310上还可设置用于在上方限制多个磁铁320的顶部翻边316。具体地,顶部翻边316形成于连接板段312的上边缘,并向后延伸,以与支撑筋315共同在高度方向约束磁铁320的自由度。
在组装前选择磁铁320时,应尽量保证磁铁320的高度适配于顶部翻边316与支撑筋315之间的安装间隙的高度,这样能够有效地利用顶部翻边316的限位功能,使得磁铁320处于稳固状态。
参见图8,进一步地,在前后方向上,顶部翻边316的宽度还应满足不大于磁铁320的宽度。在一些特殊的实施例中,顶部翻边316的宽度与磁铁320的宽度还可保持一致。
由于磁铁320需要与箱体10接触吸附,而一旦顶部翻边316在前后方向的大于磁铁320的宽度时,磁铁320无法与箱体10直接接触吸附,这样会大大降低磁铁320对箱体10的吸附力,甚至导致格栅板310无法稳固地安装与箱体10上。因此顶部翻边316的宽度满足不大于磁铁320的宽度时,顶部翻边316不会对磁铁320与箱体10的接触吸附形成干涉,提升可靠性。
参见图6至图8,进一步地,顶部翻边316的上表面设置有第一卡接凸起316a,当格栅板310吸附于箱体10时,第一卡接凸起316a抵触于踢脚板3的内侧,以在前后方向上约束格栅板310的自由度。
在安装通风格栅组件30之前,踢脚板3可以先与冰箱1或者与用于设置冰箱1的橱 固定连接。在安装通风格栅组件30时,首先将磁铁320预先安装在格栅板310的背部,然后自前向后地推入踢脚板3上预定区域上,最终使得磁铁320吸附在箱体10的前侧表面。
由于顶部翻边316上设置有第一卡接凸起316a,当格栅板310吸附于箱体10时,第一卡接凸起316a抵触于踢脚板3的内侧,这样格栅板310就无法自后向前地脱离踢脚板3,使得格栅板310的安装效果更加稳固。
参见图6至图8,进一步地,格栅板310的一侧和/或两侧边缘设置有向后延伸的侧部翻边318,侧部翻边318的外侧设置有第二卡接凸起318a,当格栅板310吸附于箱体10时,第二卡接凸起318a抵触于踢脚板3的内侧,以在前后方向上约束格栅板310的自由度。
同样地,在安装通风格栅组件30时,当格栅板310吸附于箱体10的过程中,格栅板310自前向后地推入踢脚板3上预定区域上,第二卡接凸起318a抵触于踢脚板3的横向两侧的内表面上,以与第一卡接凸起316a配合,以防止格栅板310自后向前地脱离踢脚板3。
此外,第一卡接凸起316a和第二卡接凸起318a的制作方式均可采用冲压翻折的方式完成。
参见图7,以第一卡接凸起316a为例,首先可以利用切割装置在顶部翻边316上切割部分板体,但需要有一部分仍然连接在顶部翻边316(例如,可以顶部翻边316上选择一个方形区域,切割方形区域的三个边,保留其中一个边),然后利用工具自下而上地将该部分板体推出顶部翻边316的上表面,形成一个自然状态下凸出于顶部翻边316上表面的第一卡接凸起316a。
参见图7,此外,第一卡接凸起316a还可设置成自后向前且向上延伸的姿态,这样将格栅板310自前至后的推向箱体10时,第一卡接凸起316a的后端先到达踢脚板3处,而后端高度较低,不会影响格栅板310的推进。在继续推进过程中,第一卡接凸起316a逐渐与踢脚板3接触,而受到踢脚板3向下挤压后,第一卡接凸起316a向顶部翻边316内缩进,并产生弹性恢复力。当第一卡接凸起316a完全通过踢脚板3后,在弹性恢复力的作用下,第一卡接凸起316a重新弹出顶部翻边316的表面,并使其前端抵触于踢脚板3的内侧,此时恰好磁铁320与箱体10接触吸附,完成安装。
第二卡接凸起318a的制作方法与第一卡接凸起316a类似,区别仅在于切割之后推出方向应为横向外侧,在此不再展开介绍。
参见图9至图11,图10是根据本发明又一个实施例的通风格栅组件30的格栅板310的示意图,其示出了格栅板310的后侧,图11是根据本发明又一个实施例中通风格栅组件30、箱体10、门体20以及踢脚板3之间的组装关系示意图。
该通风格栅组件30还可包括格栅板310和多个限位部400。格栅板310安装于踢脚板3。每个限位部400形成于格栅板310,限位部400具有位于格栅板310后侧的抵接面432,限位部400配置成当格栅板310与踢脚板3处于平齐状态时,抵接面432抵触于踢脚板3的后侧,以限制格栅板310自后向前地与踢脚板3脱离。
具体地,格栅板310上可形成多个通风孔314a,格栅板310可与箱体10的前侧底部相连,进而使其上的至少部分通风孔314a正对箱体10的底板与地面之间的底部空间12,以便利用通风孔314a连通底部空间12与外部环境,并与外部环境换热。
踢脚板3可以沿横向覆盖于箱体10的前侧下部,用于遮挡冰箱1下方的箱体10以及箱体10与地面之间的底部空间12,并且与周围的橱柜2融为一体,形成统一的装修风格。
此外,为了使踢脚板3与格栅板310更好的融合,踢脚板3在冰箱1的前侧底部可开设用于容纳通风格栅的预设区域3a。当格栅板310安装于箱体10上时,格栅板310处于该预设区域3a(如图9所示)。
在本实施例中,格栅板310上还设置有多个限位部400,限位部400可设置于格栅板310的后侧。在安装格栅板310时,可以自前向后地将格栅板310推向箱体10的前侧下部,最终连接在箱体10上。此时,格栅板310恰好与踢脚板3相平齐,格栅板310后侧的限位部400抵触于踢脚板3的后侧,完成安装。在安装之后,由于踢脚板3与限位部400之间的相互制约使得格栅板310无法自后向前地脱离与踢脚板3,保证箱体10、踢脚板3与格栅板310三者之间良好的稳固性。
此外,采用多个限位部400与踢脚板3相抵触的方式能够代替传统的螺接、焊接等方式,不仅能够实现拆卸方便,还能够降低零件数量和经济成本。
参见图10和图11,进一步地,每个限位部400还包括第一翻边410、第二翻边420和第三翻边430。第一翻边410形成于格栅板310的上边缘,并向后侧延伸。第二翻边420形成于第一翻边410的末端,并向上延伸。第三翻边430形成于第二翻边420的末端,并向前延伸,并且第三翻边430的末端处于格栅板310顶部边缘的后侧,抵接面432形成于第三翻边430的末端。
在本实施例中,第一翻边410、第二翻边420和第三翻边430可通过冲压的方式一体成型于格栅板310上,使得限位部400、格栅板310之间的连接更牢固。
由于格栅板310与踢脚板3均为板状,且考虑到踢脚板3的板厚度,因此第三翻边430的末端需要设置在格栅板310顶部边缘的后侧,也即第三翻边430的末端需要略微后缩于格栅板310顶部边缘,以避让出踢脚板3的板厚度,这样当格栅板310的边缘与踢脚板3的预设区域3a边缘相对接,且两者处于平齐状态时,形成于第三翻边430端部的抵接面432恰好能够抵触于踢脚板3的后表面,这样不会使格栅板310被第三翻边430向后顶进,避免踢脚板3与格栅板310之间出现闪缝,不平齐、不美观。
此外,限位部400可占据格栅板310的整个边缘,也可占据格栅板310的部分边缘。限位部400的数量还可为一个或多个,并且当为多个时,多个限位部400可根据实际情况进行布置。例如图3所示,两个限位部400可横向间隔布置在格栅板310的顶部。
参见图10至图12,图12是根据本发明又一个实施例中通风格栅组件30中格栅板310、第四翻边500和第五翻边520的结构关系图。在一些实施例中,通风格栅组件30还可包括第四翻边500和第三卡接凸起510。第四翻边500形成于格栅板310的侧边缘,并向后且向格栅板310的横向中央延伸。第三卡接凸起510形成于第四翻边500背离格栅板310的表面,第三卡接凸起510配置成当格栅板310与踢脚板3处于平齐状态时,第三卡接凸起510抵触于踢脚板3的后侧。
在本实施例中,第四翻边500的数量可以为一个,也可为两个。当第四翻边500为两个时,两个第四翻边500可分别形成于格栅板310横向的两个侧边缘,并且向后延伸。那么对应地,第三卡接凸起510的数量也可设置成两个,两个第三卡接凸起510可分别形成在两个第四翻边500上。当然,每个第四翻边500上还可设置不止一个第三卡接凸 起510,还可设置两个、三个或更多,这可根据实际情况而定。
由于第三卡接凸起510形成于第四翻边500上,且凸出于背离格栅板310表面,因此,在格栅板310自前向后地推向箱体10的过程中,第三卡接凸起510可能由于过于凸出于第四翻边500而卡在踢脚板3的前表面,无法使其过渡至踢脚板3的后侧,那么格栅板310也就无法安装至预设区域3a内。
参见图12,在本实施例中,第四翻边500可设置成向后且向格栅板310的横向中央延伸,这样第四翻边500可实现略微地向格栅板310的横向中央缩进,避让一部分第三卡接凸起510的位置,使得第三卡接凸起510不过于凸出于第四翻边500(需要说明的是,尽管第四翻边500在横向避让出一部分第三卡接凸起510的位置,但是最终第三卡接凸起510在自然状态下仍然凸出格栅板310的侧边缘,以便与踢脚板3相抵触)。在安装格栅板310时,第三卡接凸起510可以顺利地通过自身的形变过渡至踢脚板3的后侧。
参见图12,进一步地,第三卡接凸起510配置成第四翻边500的部分板体经切割后向背离格栅板310翻折而成。
在制作第三卡接凸起510时,首先可以利用切割装置在第四翻边500上切割部分板体,但需要有一部分仍然连接在第四翻边500(例如,可以第四翻边500上选择一个方形区域,切割方形区域的三个边,保留其中一个边),然后利用工具自内而外地(远离格栅板310为外,靠近格栅板310为内)将该部分板体推出第四翻边500,形成一个自然状态下凸出于第四翻边500背离格栅板310的第三卡接凸起510。
此外,第三卡接凸起510还可设置成自后向前且向外延伸的姿态,这样将格栅板310自前至后的推向箱体10时,第三卡接凸起510的后端先到达踢脚板3处,而后端高度较低,不会影响格栅板310的推进。在继续推进过程中,第三卡接凸起510逐渐与踢脚板3接触,而受到踢脚板3向内挤压后,第三卡接凸起510向第四翻边500内缩进,并产生弹性恢复力。当第三卡接凸起510完全通过踢脚板3后,在弹性恢复力的作用下,第三卡接凸起510重新弹出第四翻边500,并使其前端抵触于踢脚板3的内侧。
在一些实施例中,第二卡接凸起318a可具有与第三卡接凸起510相同或类似的结构。
参见图10至图12,进一步地,该通风格栅组件30还可包括第五翻边520。第五翻边520形成于第四翻边500的末端,并向后延伸,并且第五翻边520还配置成当格栅板310与踢脚板3处于平齐状态时,其末端抵触于箱体10的前侧底部表面,以与限位部400共同约束格栅板310在前后方向的自由度。
第五翻边520的数量可以与第四翻边500相对应。第五翻边520形成于第四翻边500的末端,并向后延伸,其可作为安装格栅板310时的引导板。在安装格栅板310的过程中,第五翻边520首先进入踢脚板3的预设区域3a,在第五翻边520引导下格栅板310能够尽量以自前向后姿态安装至箱体10上,且与踢脚板3相配合。
在格栅板310到达安装位置时,第五翻边520的末端可抵触于箱体10上,这样格栅板310无法继续后移动,进而配合限位部400、第三卡接凸起510向前的限位功能,使得格栅板310在前后方向上得到完全约束,稳定性更佳。
参见图10和图11,在一些实施例中,该通风格栅组件30还可包括抵触部600,抵触部600设置于格栅板310的顶部。抵触部600还可包括第六翻边610和第七翻边620。第六翻边610形成于格栅板310的上边缘,并向后侧延伸。第七翻边620形成于第六翻边610的末端,并向下延伸。抵触部600配置成当格栅板310与踢脚板3处于平齐状态 时,第七翻边620的末端抵触于箱体10的前侧底部表面,以与限位部400共同约束格栅板310在前后方向的自由度。
抵触部600的数量可为一个或多个。如图11所示,当抵触部600为一个时,其可设置在两个限位部400之间,并且通过切割冲压形成。当格栅板310与踢脚板3处于平齐状态时,第七翻边620的末端抵触于箱体10的前侧底部表面,这样可以限制格栅板310的顶部位置向后凹陷。
参见图9至图11,在一些实施例中,通风格栅组件30还可包括多个磁铁320。多个磁铁320设置于格栅板310后侧,以将格栅板310固定于箱体10的前侧下方。
具体地,格栅板310可包括连接板段312和形成于连接板段312下方的开孔板段314(图10所示),多个通风孔314a开设在开孔板段314上。多个磁铁320可设置于连接板段312的后侧,以使连接板段312与箱体10的前侧底部表面相吸附,这样开孔板段314就自然地正对底板与地面之间的底部空间12,进而其上的全部通风孔314a正对底部空间12,通风效果更佳。
此外,格栅板310(或者至少格栅板310的连接板段312)由磁性材料制成(例如430不锈钢等)。多个磁铁320沿横向均匀地设置于格栅板310的后侧,这样多个磁铁320可以将格栅板310吸附于箱体10(或箱体10的钣金件),实现连接。并且,磁吸的方式操作简单,便于用户安装和拆卸。
参见图10和图11,在一些实施例中,格栅板310还包括多个支撑筋315,多个支撑筋315均设置于格栅板310的后侧,并且其数量与磁铁320的数量一一对应,以支撑磁铁320,防止在长期使用过程中磁铁320由于自身重力的作用脱离原来的位置,进而防止格栅板310与箱体10脱离。
在本实施例中,支撑筋315可以为凸出于格栅板310的后侧表面的筋条,其可与格栅板310一体成型,还可通过焊接、卡接、铆接等固定方式安装在格栅板310的后侧表面。
此外,支撑筋315可设置在格栅板310的连接板段312上,也可以设置在格栅板310的开孔板段314上,只要能够将磁铁320支撑在格栅板310的连接板段312后侧即可。
支撑筋315与磁铁320的数量一一对应。以两个磁铁320为例,两个磁铁320分别设置于连接板段312的横向两侧,那么对应地,格栅板310的横向两侧分别一个支撑筋315,以支撑对应的磁铁320。
参见图10和图11,在一些实施例中,多个通风孔314a分布于高度方向上的多层。例如图10和图11所示的,多个通风孔314a以阵列的方式分布于格栅板310。多个通风孔314a可以分布在沿高度方向上的多层中,每层中均匀分布多个通风孔314a,并且每列中的多个通风孔314a沿高度方向依次排列。
当然,多个通风孔314a还可以其他方式布置。例如,在高度方向上错位排列等。只要能够充分利用格栅板310的开孔板段314,且具有一定的美观性均可。
参见图10和图11,进一步地,支撑筋315形成于处于最高层的通风孔314a的边缘,并向后延伸。由于最高层的通风孔314a临近格栅板310的连接板段312,因此将支撑筋315设置在最高层的通风孔314a的边缘上能够满足支撑磁铁320的条件。
此外,由于支撑筋315形成于处于最高层的通风孔314a的边缘,并向后延伸,因此在制作时可以采用冲压模具来快速实现制作,这样不仅省去了繁琐的安装工序、减少零 件数量,而且还能够使其与格栅板310接更加牢固。
具体地,在制作过程中,先冲压裁剪出需要设置支撑筋315的通风孔314a,该通风孔314a的面积小于其余通风孔314a的面积。然后在利用冲压模具自前向后地对该通风孔314a的边缘进行冲压,以使部分其边缘翻折并凸出于格栅板310的后侧表面,这样不仅形成了支撑筋315,还可使该通风孔314a经过二次冲压后,与其余的通风孔314a面积保持一致。
至此,本领域技术人员应认识到,虽然本文已详尽示出和描述了本发明的多个示例性实施例,但是,在不脱离本发明精神和范围的情况下,仍可根据本发明公开的内容直接确定或推导出符合本发明原理的许多其他变型或修改。因此,本发明的范围应被理解和认定为覆盖了所有这些其他变型或修改。
