Further, a stopping portion 422 is provided on the connecting portion 42, the stopping portion 422 covers the connecting groove 421 along a circumferential portion of the connecting portion 42, so that a portion of the connecting groove 421 covered by the stopping portion 422 surrounds the inner wall of the connecting groove 421 to form the locking groove 421c, and the second inclined surface 421a is located on an inner surface of the stopping portion 422, that is, a surface located inside the locking groove 421 c; the uncovered portion of the connection groove 421 forms the introduction groove 421b having an opening.
The first inclined surface 431a is a straight surface, where a central axis of the refrigerator 30 is defined as X, a direction from the first installation hole 221a to the second installation hole 221b is an L direction (see fig. 2 or fig. 3), the first inclined surface 431a is inclined with respect to the central axis of the refrigerator 30, and an end of the first inclined surface 431a close to the second installation hole 221b is lower than an end of the first inclined surface 431a close to the first installation hole 221a in the L direction. Of course, in other embodiments, an end of the first inclined surface 431a close to the second mounting hole 221b may be higher than an end of the first inclined surface 431a close to the first mounting hole 221a in the L direction.
Referring to fig. 10, an axis Y is defined, the axis Y is perpendicular to the axis X, and an included angle between the first inclined surface 431a and the axis Y is θ, that is, an inclination angle θ of the first inclined surface 431a, 0 ° < θ <45 °; similarly, the second inclined surface 421a is also a straight surface, the second inclined surface 421a is disposed in an inclined manner relative to the central axis of the refrigerator 30, the inclined direction of the second inclined surface 421a is L, and one end of the second inclined surface 421a close to the second mounting hole 221b is higher than one end of the second inclined surface 421a close to the first mounting hole 221a in the L direction, but of course, one end of the second inclined surface 421a close to the second mounting hole 221b is lower than one end of the second inclined surface 421a close to the first mounting hole 221a in the L direction. When the first inclined plane 431a and the second inclined plane 421a are mutually matched, the highest point of the second inclined plane 421a is matched with the lowest point of the first inclined plane 431a, and the lowest point of the second inclined plane 421a is matched with the highest point of the first inclined plane 431 a. An included angle between the second inclined surface 421a and the axis Y is equal to an included angle between the first inclined surface 431a and the axis Y, so that the second inclined surface 421a and the first inclined surface 431a are matched with each other in the L direction, and the inner wall of the connecting block 41 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the connecting portion 42.
In other embodiments, the first inclined surface 431a and the second inclined surface 421a may be both curved surfaces or profiled surfaces; of course, the first inclined surface 431a and the second inclined surface 421a may be matched and tightly attached to each other.
Further, when the positioning block 431 is engaged with the connecting groove 421, as shown in fig. 10, the first inclined surface 431a has a pressure F perpendicular to the second inclined surface 421a with respect to the second inclined surface 421a, and as is apparent from the inclined surface acceptance analysis, the pressure F is divided into an axial component F1 and a horizontal component F2, where the axial direction is the same direction as the direction L and the horizontal direction is the same direction as the axis Y.
It can be understood that F1 makes the connecting portion 42 have a tendency to move toward the connecting block 41, so that the connecting portion 42 and the connecting block 41 are tightly fitted, and at the same time, F1 has a pre-tightening effect, so that the connecting portion 42 is not axially displaced, and the connection is more reliable; f2 is generated by the internal extrusion of the connecting block 41, so that no additional external force is generated on the wall of the mounting hole 221; and according to the slope component force calculation formula: f1 ═ F cos θ, F2 ═ F sin θ; as can be seen from the equation of 0 ° < θ <45 °, F1 is (1-0.71) times F, and F2 is (0.09-0.5) times F, it can be understood that F1 is much larger than F2, so that F2 is negligible compared to F1, and thus, the force acting on the inner wall of the mounting hole 221 can be reduced while ensuring sufficient axial force component to make the first inclined surface 431a and the second inclined surface 421a fit tightly.
Further, the inclination angle theta is more than or equal to 5 degrees and less than or equal to 30 degrees. And according to the slope component force calculation formula: f1 ═ F cos θ, F2 ═ F sin θ; from 5 ° ≦ θ ≦ 30 °, F1 ≦ F was (0.99-0.87) times and F2 ≦ F was (0.09-0.5) times.
In the present embodiment, when θ is 10 ° (sin θ is 0.17 and cos θ is 0.98), F1 is 0.98F and F2 is 0.17F, it is preferable to reduce the force acting on the inner wall of the mounting hole 221 while ensuring sufficient axial force component to make the first inclined surface 431a and the second inclined surface 421a adhere to each other.
