- Referring to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , the present utility model provides arefrigerator 1 and afan assembly 10 disposed in therefrigerator 1.FIG. 2 is a diagram of an inner structure of therefrigerator 1 inFIG. 1 in a right view direction. Therefrigerator 1 includes abody 3 having one ormore storage rooms 2, and thefan assembly 10 is disposed in thestorage room 2, and is generally disposed at one side that is of thestorage room 2 and that is far away from a door of the refrigerator, that is, at an inner side of thestorage room 2. - Referring to
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 , thefan assembly 10 includes a mountingbase 20 and afan 30 that is fastened to the mountingbase 20. Thefan assembly 10 is fastened to thebody 3 by using the mountingbase 20. The mountingbase 20 includes ahousing 21 accommodating thefan 30, and areinforcement member 22 that fastens thehousing 21 to a to-be-mounted structure; thehousing 21 is provided with a first connectingmember 211 and thereinforcement member 22 is provided with a second connectingmember 221 that matches and that is connected to the first connectingmember 211; and the first connectingmember 211 is indirectly connected to the second connectingmember 221 by using avibration reduction element 40. - An advantage of the solution is that the housing of the fan and the body of the refrigerator are indirectly flexibly connected by using the vibration reduction element without being directly rigidly connected any longer. Therefore, vibration energy of the housing of the fan is absorbed by the vibration reduction element without being directly transferred to the body of the refrigerator, thereby greatly reducing noise generated by high-speed operation of the fan.
- In the
fan assembly 10, a function of thefan 30 is accelerating air flowing in thestorage room 2, so that temperature distribution within thestorage room 2 is more uniform. Generally, an air exhaust vent of thefan 30 is close to an inner wall of thestorage room 2, and an air intake vent faces a relatively large space, so that air in thestorage room 2 flows towards the air intake vent, enters thefan 30 from the air intake vent, and flows out from the air exhaust vent after being mixed by thefan 30, thereby achieving a uniform air temperature. Therefore, it can be understood that when a user opens the door, one side of the air exhaust vent of thefan 30 is located at a relatively concealed location and is not easily seen. - It can be learned from the embodiment shown in
FIG. 2 that, thefan assembly 10 is located at the inner side of thestorage room 2, and anair intake vent 10a of thefan 30 is located at one side that is of the door and that faces therefrigerator 1, and anair exhaust vent 10b is located at one side that is of the door and that is away from therefrigerator 1. In this way, when a user opens the door, the user can see theair intake vent 10a of thefan 30, but cannot see theair exhaust vent 10b of thefan 30. - As shown in
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 , the mountingbase 20 includes thehousing 21 accommodating thefan 30, and thereinforcement member 22 that fastens thehousing 21 to the to-be-mounted structure. Thereinforcement member 22 includes abody plate 222 and the second connectingmember 221. In this embodiment, the second connectingmember 221 includes afastener 221a and agasket 221b that may be connected together. In a process of mounting or dismounting the mountingbase 20, thefastener 221a and thegasket 221b may be separated from each other. - The
fastener 221a extends towards one side that is of thebody plate 222 and that faces thehousing 1. Thefastener 221a and a plate surface of thebody plate 222 are intersected. The plate surface of thebody plate 222 has a first surface facing thehousing 21, and a second surface away from thehousing 21. Thegasket 221 b has an end portion that is close to thebody plate 222 and an end portion that is far away from thebody plate 222. Particularly, the radial width of the end portion that is of thegasket 221b and that is close to thebody plate 222 is greater than that of the end portion that is far away from thebody plate 222. The end portion that is of thegasket 221b and that is close to thebody plate 222 is connected to thefastener 221a. The end portion that is of thegasket 221b and that is far away from thebody plate 222 passes through thevibration reduction element 40, that is, thevibration reduction element 40 is sleeved on the end portion that is of thegasket 221b and that is far away from thebody plate 222. Preferably, thevibration reduction element 40 is made of a silica gel material and has a good vibration isolation effect. The first connectingmember 211 of thehousing 21 is engaged with thevibration reduction element 40. In this way, the first connectingmember 211 is indirectly connected to the second connectingmember 221 by using thevibration reduction element 40, so that the housing of the fan and the body of the refrigerator are indirectly flexibly connected by using the vibration reduction element without being directly rigidly connected any longer. Therefore, vibration energy of the housing of the fan is absorbed by the vibration reduction element without being directly transferred to the body of the refrigerator, thereby greatly reducing noise generated by high-speed operation of the fan. - Both the
fastener 221a and thegasket 221b are provided with through holes that extend along a length direction and that are communicated with each other, and ascrew 50 is driven into the through hole, to better implement a fixed connection between thehousing 21 and thereinforcement member 22. Preferably, the end portion that is of thegasket 221b and that is far away from thebody plate 222 exceeds a preset length, for example, 2-3 millimeters, of an end portion that is of thevibration reduction element 40 and that is far away from thebody plate 222. In this way, after thescrew 50 is driven into thegasket 221b, a head of thescrew 50 may be prevented from pressing against thevibration reduction element 40, thereby ensuring that vibration isolation performance of thevibration reduction element 40 is not affected. Preferably, agasket 51 is further disposed on the end portion that is of thevibration reduction element 40 and that is far away from thebody plate 222, to further prevent the head of thescrew 50 from excessively pressing against thevibration reduction element 40. -
FIG. 5 is a schematic exploded view of a fan assembly according to a second embodiment of the present utility model. A difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment at least lies in that the second connecting member of thereinforcement member 22 is formed by extending thefastener 221a' through thevibration reduction element 40 to the side that is of thebody plate 222 and that faces thehousing 1. That is, in this embodiment, the second connecting member is basically formed by extending thefastener 221a', so that disposition of thegasket 221b is omitted. Preferably, the end portion that is of thefastener 221a' and that is far away from thebody plate 222 exceeds the preset length, for example, 2-3 millimeters, of the end portion that is of thevibration reduction element 40 and that is far away from thebody plate 222. In this way, after thescrew 50 is driven into thefastener 221a', the head of thescrew 50 may be prevented from excessively pressing against thevibration reduction element 40, thereby ensuring that vibration isolation performance of thevibration reduction element 40 is not affected. -
FIG. 6 is a schematic exploded view of a fan assembly according to a third embodiment of the present utility model. A difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment at least lies in that the second connecting member of thereinforcement member 22 is basically directly formed by using thefastener 221a inFIG. 4 , so that disposition of thegasket 221b is omitted. In addition, a screw 50' has a limiting step 52', and after the screw 50' directly passes through thevibration reduction element 40 and is driven into the through hole of thefastener 221a, the limiting step 52' of the screw 50' abuts against ahole edge 221c of the through hole of thefastener 221a, to implement a limitation, so that the screw 50' is prevented from further being driven into the through hole, and the head of the screw 50' may be prevented from excessively pressing against thevibration reduction element 40, thereby ensuring that vibration isolation performance of thevibration reduction element 40 is not affected. - Although the present utility model has been disclosed above, the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes without departing from the spirit and the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the scope defined by the appended claims.
