Detailed Description

The present embodiment provides a refrigerator 100. For convenience of description, the directions "up", "down", "front", "rear", "top", "bottom", "lateral", etc. mentioned in the specification are defined according to the spatial position relationship in the normal operation state of the refrigerator 100, for example, referring to fig. 1, the side of the refrigerator 100 facing the user is front, and the side close to the wall is rear. Referring to fig. 10, the lateral direction means a direction parallel to the width direction of the refrigerator 100.

Fig. 1 is a side sectional view of a refrigerator 100 according to a related art, fig. 2 is a side sectional view of the refrigerator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a first wind blocking member 130 and a second wind blocking member 140 are in a first state, fig. 3 is an enlarged view of a region a of fig. 2, fig. 4 is an enlarged view of a region B of fig. 2, and fig. 5 is an enlarged view of a region C of fig. 2.

The refrigerator 100 generally includes a housing 110, an inner storage container 111, a door 117, a plurality of storage drawers 120, and the like, wherein a foaming material is filled between the housing 110 and the inner storage container 111 to perform a heat preservation function, an open storage space at the front side is defined in the inner storage container 111, the plurality of storage drawers 120 are vertically spaced in the storage space, and the door 117 is disposed at the front side of the storage space to open or close the storage space.

The refrigerator 100 can deliver cold air to the storage space by air cooling, and generally, the refrigerator 100 further includes an evaporator 112 and a blower 113, under the action of the blower 113, the cold air around the evaporator 112 is blown into the storage space to absorb heat of the articles stored in the storage drawer 120 to form return air, and the return air is blown to the evaporator 112 again, cooled by the evaporator 112 and then blown into the storage space again, so that air circulation is formed between the storage space and the evaporator 112 to maintain the low-temperature environment of the storage space.

Fig. 1 illustrates an airflow circulation path between the storage space and the evaporator 112 of the conventional refrigerator 100, and as shown in fig. 1, after the cool airflow cooled by the evaporator 112 enters the storage space, flows through the storage drawer 120, absorbs heat of the articles in the storage drawer 120, the formed return air flows to the return air inlet located below through the gap between the uppermost storage drawer 120 and the top wall of the storage liner 111 and the gap between two adjacent storage drawers 120, and flows to the evaporator 112 through the return air inlet, thereby forming a circulation. In this process, an airflow channel G is formed in the gap between the inner wall of the door 117 and the front end of the storage drawer 120, and the cold airflow in the storage space flows through the airflow channel G, so that the temperature difference between the airflow channel and the external environment is increased, and the heat leakage of the door 117 and the door seal is increased.

The inventor of the present application has made a special design for the refrigerator 100 to solve the above-mentioned problems, and specifically, referring to fig. 2 to 5, the refrigerator 100 further includes a plurality of first wind blocking members 130, one of the first wind blocking members 130 is disposed between two adjacent storage drawers 120 and adjacent to the door body 117, the first wind blocking member 130 is configured to close a space between the front ends of the two corresponding adjacent storage drawers 120, that is, the first wind blocking member 130 can close a space between a lower end of the front end of the upper storage drawer 120 and an upper end of the front end of the lower storage drawer 120 in the two adjacent storage drawers 120, so as to prevent cold air from flowing forward through the space to a space between the inner wall of the door body 117 and the front end of the storage drawer 120, thereby reducing a temperature difference between the space and an external environment and reducing loss of cold air, the heat leakage of the door body 117 and the door seal is reduced.

The storage drawer 120 is configured to be operable to move back and forth to open and close the storage drawer 120, and sliding rails for the corresponding storage drawer 120 to slide back and forth may be formed at positions corresponding to both lateral sidewalls of each storage drawer 120 of the storage liner 111 to ensure smooth and stable opening and closing of the storage drawer 120.

The first air blocking member 130 is designed to avoid the influence of the front-to-back sliding movement of the storage drawers 120, and the first air blocking member 130 is within the scope of the present invention to close the space between the front ends of two adjacent storage drawers 120 without affecting the opening and closing of the storage drawers 120.

The inventor of the present application has devised a first wind blocking member 130 that is relatively low cost and does not affect the opening and closing of the storage drawer 120. Specifically, the first wind blocking member 130 includes a first fixing portion 131 and a first flexible moving portion 132, the first fixing portion 131 is disposed at the bottom of the front end portion of the storage drawer 120 located above in the two adjacent storage drawers 120, one end of the first flexible moving portion 132 is connected to the first fixing portion 131, and is configured such that when the two adjacent storage drawers 120 are both in the closed state, the other end of the first flexible moving portion 132 overlaps the upper end of the front end portion of the storage drawer 120 located below, so as to close the space between the front end portions of the two adjacent storage drawers 120. Therefore, the first wind blocking member 130 can be prevented from influencing the opening and closing of the storage drawer 120 by the soft deformation performance of the first flexible moving portion 132, and the refrigerator 100 has a simple structure and low cost, so that the energy consumption is reduced with little increase of the cost.

Fig. 6 is a side sectional view of the refrigerator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which the first and second

wind blocking members

130 and 140 are in a second state, fig. 7 is an enlarged view of a region E of fig. 6, fig. 8 is an enlarged view of a region D of fig. 6, and fig. 9 is an enlarged view of a region F of fig. 6.

Because the first windshield 130 is positioned between two vertically adjacent storage drawers 120, the deformation of the first flexible portion 132 of the first windshield 130 is required to be compatible with both the opening and closing of the upper storage drawer 120 and the opening and closing of the lower storage drawer 120, i.e., the state of the first flexible portion 132 is changeable in response to the opening and closing of the storage drawer 120.

Specifically, the first flexible moving portion 132 is configured such that when an upper storage drawer 120 of two adjacent storage drawers 120 is opened and then closed, the other end of the first flexible moving portion overlaps with the front edge of the upper end of the front end portion of the lower storage drawer 120 (as shown in fig. 3), such that when the lower storage drawer 120 is pulled forward, the lower storage drawer 120 can squeeze the other end of the first flexible moving portion 132 at the front side, such that the first flexible moving portion 132 disengages from the front end portion of the lower storage drawer 120, thereby ensuring that the lower storage drawer 120 is opened smoothly, and at the same time, if the upper storage drawer 120 is continuously re-opened, there is no resistance from the first flexible moving portion 132. In addition, the first flexible moving portion 132 is also configured such that when a lower storage drawer 120 of two adjacent storage drawers 120 is opened and then closed, the other end of the first flexible moving portion overlaps the rear edge of the upper end of the front end of the lower storage drawer 120 (as shown in FIG. 7), such that when the upper storage drawer 120 is pulled forward, the first flexible moving portion 132 deforms over the front end of the lower storage drawer 120 and disengages from the lower storage drawer 120, thereby ensuring that the upper storage drawer 120 is opened smoothly, while not experiencing any resistance from the first flexible moving portion 132 if the lower storage drawer 120 is continuously re-opened.

The first fixing portion 131 may be a horizontally disposed strip made of hard plastic, and may be attached to a corresponding position of the corresponding storage drawer 120 by a double-sided adhesive tape or an adhesive, and the first flexible moving portion 132 may be an elastic and movable soft vertical bar made of TPE material that can still maintain elasticity at a lower temperature.

As can be seen from the above, in the refrigerator 100 of the embodiment, the first wind blocking member 130 is skillfully used to seal the gap between the front end portions of the two adjacent storage drawers 120 when the two adjacent storage drawers 120 are closed, and a sealed gap is formed between the front end portion of the corresponding storage drawer 120 and the corresponding area of the door body 117, so that cold air is prevented from flowing directly to the gap, and heat can be transferred to the door body 117 only through the front end portions of the storage drawers 120, thereby reducing heat leakage of the door body 117. Meanwhile, the first wind blocking part 130 is of a soft and hard co-extrusion structure, so that the opening and closing of the storage drawer 120 are not affected, the smooth opening and closing of the storage drawer 120 are guaranteed, the overall design is ingenious, the structure is simple, and the cost is increased less.

The refrigerator 100 of the above embodiment seals the gap between the front ends of two adjacent storage drawers 120 through the first wind blocking member 130, so that heat leakage to the door body 117 and the door seal is reduced to a certain extent, but during the actual operation of the refrigerator 100, part of cold airflow can still directly enter the gap between the storage drawer 120 and the corresponding region of the door body 117 through the gap between the uppermost storage drawer 120 and the top wall of the storage liner 111 and the gap between the lowermost storage drawer 120 and the bottom wall of the storage liner 111, so that the problem of partial heat leakage still exists in the door body 117.

To this end, the present embodiment provides a further improved refrigerator 100, and specifically, the refrigerator 100 may further include two second wind blocking members 140, wherein one second wind blocking member 140 is disposed between the front end portion of the uppermost one of the locker drawers 120 and a region of the top wall of the locker inner container 111 adjacent to the door body 117, for blocking a space between the front end portion of the uppermost locker drawer 120 and the top wall of the locker inner container 111; and another second air blocking member 140 is disposed between the front end of the lowermost storage drawer 120 and a region of the bottom wall of the storage liner 111 proximate the door body 117 to block a space between the front end of the lowermost storage drawer 120 and the bottom wall of the storage liner 111. The gap between the front end of the uppermost storage drawer 120 and the gap between the front end of the lowermost storage drawer 120 and the door 117 are sealed by the two second wind blocking members 140, so that cold air is prevented from flowing through the gaps, heat leakage of the door 117 is further reduced, and heat load of the refrigerator 100 is reduced.

The second wind blocking member 140 may have a similar configuration to that of the first wind blocking member 130. Specifically, the second wind blocking member 140 includes a second fixed portion 141 and a second flexible movable portion 142, the second fixed portion 141 of the second wind blocking member 140 located above is disposed in a region of the upper wall of the storage liner 111 adjacent to the door body 117, and the second fixed portion 141 of the second wind blocking member 140 located below is disposed at the bottom of the front end portion of the storage drawer 120 located lowermost; one end of the second flexible moving portion 142 is connected to the corresponding second fixing portion 141, the second flexible moving portion 142 of the second wind blocking member 140 located above is configured such that, when the uppermost storage drawer 120 is closed, the other end thereof overlaps the upper end of the front end portion of the uppermost storage drawer 120, and the second flexible moving portion 142 of the second wind blocking member 140 located below is configured such that, when the lowermost storage drawer 120 is closed, the other end thereof overlaps the bottom wall of the storage liner 111. The space between the front end of the uppermost storage drawer 120 and the top wall of the storage liner 111 and the space between the front end of the lowermost storage drawer 120 and the bottom wall of the storage liner 111 are thus sealed by the two second flexible movable portions 142, and the influence of the second wind blocking member 140 on the opening and closing of the storage drawer 120 is avoided by the soft deformation performance of the second flexible movable portions 142, and the structure is simple and the cost is low.

Wherein, when the uppermost one of the locker drawers 120 is in the closed state, the other end of the second flexible moving portion 142 of the second wind blocking member 140 positioned above may overlap a front edge of an upper end of the front end portion of the uppermost locker drawer 120 (as shown in fig. 4), or overlap a rear edge of an upper end of the front end portion of the uppermost locker drawer 120 (as shown in fig. 8); when the storage drawer 120 at the lowest position is in the closed state, the second flexible moving portion 142 of the second lower wind blocking member 140 can assume the state shown in fig. 5 or 9, in fig. 5, the second flexible moving portion 142 of the second lower wind blocking member 140 is inclined backward from bottom to top, and in fig. 9, the second flexible moving portion 142 of the second lower wind blocking member 140 is inclined forward from bottom to top. The above-mentioned states of the two second flexible moving portions 142 can ensure smooth opening and closing of the uppermost storage drawer 120 and the lowermost storage drawer 120, and the sealing performance is equivalent.

The second fixing portion 141 may be a horizontally disposed strip of rigid plastic material, which may be attached to a corresponding position of the lower surface of the top wall of the storage liner 111 and a corresponding position of the lower end of the front end of the lowermost storage drawer 120 by a double-sided tape or an adhesive, and the second flexible moving portion 142 may be an elastically movable soft vertical bar made of TPE material capable of maintaining elasticity at a lower temperature.

In the foregoing embodiment, the first and second

wind blocking members

130 and 140 are used to seal the gap between the front end of the storage drawer 120 and the door 117, so that heat leakage from the door 117 is greatly reduced, but a part of the cold airflow may still flow through the gap between the lateral side wall of the storage drawer 120 and the lateral side wall of the storage liner 111 to the vicinity of the door 117, so that the door 117 still has the problem of heat leakage.
