Referring to fig. 8-10, in some embodiments, the second substrate 36 includes a vertical portion 44 extending vertically, and a bent portion 46 extending from one end of the vertical portion 44, with the electromagnetic source module 22 located between the vertical portion 44 and the bent portion 46. Thus, coupling of the electromagnetic source module 22 to the second substrate 36 may be facilitated, as well as providing positioning of the electromagnetic source module 22 in the direction of the vertical portion 44 and the bend portion 46.

The second substrate 36 may be generally zigzag-shaped, and the bent portion 46 may be located above the vertical portion 44. The bent portion 46 may define a top wall of the machine compartment 18 and the upright portion 44 may define a front wall of the machine compartment 18 opposite the opening 30. The electromagnetic source module 22 may be suspended in the machine chamber 18 below the bend 46 and behind the vertical 44.

Unless otherwise specifically indicated, front and rear herein may be relative to a user of the refrigeration unit 10, e.g., front closer to the user and rear further away from the user, as compared to front and rear.

In some embodiments, the second base plate 36 includes a mating portion 48 that mates with the upright portion 44 and the bent portion 46, the mating portion 48 includes a third mounting portion 50, and the electromagnetic source module 22 includes a fourth mounting portion 52 that couples with the third mounting portion 50. Thus, the engagement and fixation of the electromagnetic source module 22 with the vertical portion 44 and the bent portion 46 of the second base plate 36 by the engaging portion 48 may be facilitated.

The refrigeration unit 10 may include an insulating material (not shown) foamed with a foaming material. The reinforcement 45 may be pre-set on the second substrate 36 before foaming. The reinforcing member 45 may be reserved with, for example, a screw hole, and may be disposed on the second substrate 36 by a screw. The fitting portion 48 may also be provided with screw holes, and may be mounted on the second substrate 36 by screws 47 through, for example, the reinforcing member 45. The third mounting portion 50 may be, for example, a screw hole located on the mating portion 48. The fourth mounting portion 52 may be, for example, a screw hole located on the housing 28. The third and fourth mounting portions 50 and 52 may be coupled by screws 47.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9, the mating portion 48 includes locating portions 54 on both sides of the electromagnetic source module 22. The fitting portion 48 may be, for example, plate-shaped. Thus, the electromagnetic source module 22 can be advantageously fixed on the second substrate 36, and the electromagnetic source module 22 can be positioned in the two lateral directions of the matching portion 48.

Referring to fig. 8-10, in some embodiments, the third mounting portion 50 is spaced from the vertical portion 44 and the bent portion 46. Thus, the electromagnetic source module 22 may be advantageously bonded between the vertical portion 44 and the bent portion 46 of the second substrate 36, and the electromagnetic source module 22 may be mounted between the vertical portion 44 and the bent portion 46 of the second substrate 36 through the fitting portion 48.

The fitting portion 48 may be a plate-like member that is fitted with the vertical portion 44 and the bent portion 46. The third mounting portion 50 may be a screw hole located at an edge portion of the plate-shaped fitting portion 48 remote from the vertical portion 44 and the bent portion 46. As shown in fig. 10, the fourth mounting portion 52 may be, for example, a screw hole located at the bottom of the housing 28 of the electromagnetic source module 22. The mating portion 48 may enable the electromagnetic source module 22 to be more securely bonded to the second substrate 36 and facilitate flexibility in the selection of mounting locations for the electromagnetic source module 22.

FIG. 11 shows a schematic perspective view of an electromagnetic source module in combination with a riser; FIG. 12 shows a schematic side view of the riser of FIG. 11; and fig. 13 shows a schematic explosion diagram of the electromagnetic source module and riser of fig. 11.

Referring to fig. 4, 11-13, in some embodiments, the riser 38 extends vertically adjacent a side of the machine compartment 18. This facilitates the electromagnetic source module 22 to be disposed on the vertical plate 38 in a compact manner, and facilitates the improvement of the space utilization of the machine room 18 of the refrigeration apparatus 10. The vertical plate 38 may be used to mount a slot mount (not shown) or the like in addition to the electromagnetic power source module 22.

In some embodiments, the riser 38 includes a vertically extending main body portion 56 and a step portion 58 extending laterally from the main body portion 56, and the electromagnetic source module 22 is coupled to the main body portion 56 and the step portion 58. Therefore, the vertical plate 38 can be used for providing fixing and supporting in at least two directions for the electromagnetic source module 22, and the electromagnetic source module 22 can be combined and fixed on the vertical plate 38. A step portion 58 may extend laterally from a lower portion of the body portion 56 to support the electromagnetic source module 22 thereon.

In some embodiments, the body portion 56 includes a fifth mount 60 and the electromagnetic source module 22 includes a sixth mount 62 that mates with the fifth mount 60. Therefore, the electromagnetic source module 22 can be combined and fixed with the main body part 56 of the vertical plate 38.

The fifth mounting portion 60 may be a screw hole post located on the body portion 56. The sixth mounting portion 62 may be, for example, a screw hole ear located on the housing 28. The fifth and sixth mounting portions 60, 62 may be mated, for example, by screws 47. Therefore, the electromagnetic source module 22 can be combined and fixed with the vertical plate 38.

Referring again to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the first substrate 24 includes an electromagnet plate 64 and a power supply plate 66 extending in parallel spaced relation to the electromagnet plate 64. Thereby, it is possible to facilitate the first base plate 24 to extend upright in the housing 28 parallel to the upright wall 20, facilitating the compact configuration of the electromagnetic source module 22. The electromagnetic plate 64 and the electronics 26 integrated with the electromagnetic plate 64 and thereon may provide electromagnetic and electrical signals, respectively, to the heating chamber 16.

In some embodiments, the housing 28 includes a first enclosure 68 and a second enclosure 70 that enclose the electromagnetic plate 64 and the power panel 66 therebetween. Thus, it may be advantageous to provide protection and support for components such as the magnet plate 64 and the power supply plate 66 within the housing 28.

In some embodiments, the housing 28 includes an intermediate piece 72 at least partially positioned between the electromagnet plate 64 and the power supply plate 66. The intermediate piece 72 can help provide shielding between the electromagnet plate 64 and the power supply plate 66 to prevent signals of the electromagnet plate 64 and the power supply plate 66 from interfering with each other.

The housing 28 may be made of a metal material to effectively shield the electromagnetic signal generated by the electromagnetic source module 22 and prevent electromagnetic leakage, which is beneficial to the safety of the refrigeration apparatus 10. The first housing 68, the second housing 70, and the intermediate member 72 may be flanged and screwed for simple structure and convenient assembly.

The various embodiments described above and shown in the drawings are illustrative of the invention and are not intended to be all-inclusive.
