FIG. 1 to FIG. 2 show perspective views of a packaging structure for a refrigerator according to embodiments of the present invention. As shown inFIG. 1 , since a film layer is transparent in the embodiment, the film layer is separately shown in parallel as a structural form in a final state. In the embodiment, an upstanding direction of the refrigerator when the refrigerator is located in apackaging structure 100 is taken as a vertical direction, a surface in a direction close to the refrigerator is taken an inner surface, and a surface in a direction away from the refrigerator is taken as an outer surface. - In one embodiment, a
packaging structure 100 for a refrigerator comprises abottom seat 20 supported on the bottom of the refrigerator, atop seat 10 covering the top of the refrigerator, four vertical side edges and afilm layer 40. Both ends of each vertical side edge are respectively connected with thebottom seat 20 and thetop seat 10, and the four vertical side edges are respectively disposed at four corners of thebottom seat 20 and thetop seat 10. Thetop seat 10, thebottom seat 20 and the four vertical side edges form an accommodation space for accommodating the refrigerator. In this embodiment, thefilm layer 40 wraps an outer surface of an outline main body formed by thebottom seat 20, thetop seat 10 and the four vertical side edges by means of film shrinking upon heating. Thebottom seat 20, thetop seat 10, the four vertical side edges and thefilm layer 40 form acomplete packaging structure 100. - A shape of the
top seat 10 is substantially the same as the shape of the top of the refrigerator; a shape of thebottom seat 20 is substantially the same as the shape of the bottom of the refrigerator. Preferably, thetop seat 10 and thebottom seat 20 have the same shape and size. In the present embodiment, the shapes of thetop seat 10 and thebottom seat 20 are both a regular quadrilateral such as a square or a rectangle. Thetop seat 10 and thebottom seat 20 respectively have four corners. - A structural configuration of the
bottom seat 20 matches the structural configuration of the bottom of the refrigerator, to enhance the fixing effect of the refrigerator. Specifically, if the structural configuration of the bottom of the refrigerator is a structural configuration with four rollers protruding from a plane, the structural configuration of thebottom seat 20 is a structural configuration with four roller cavities recessed into a plane. The four roller cavities are adapted to the rollers in size and position. Certainly, there are various structural configurations of the bottom of the refrigerator, and correspondingly, the structural configuration of thebottom seat 20 varies accordingly. With the structural configuration matching the structural configuration of the bottom seat of the refrigerator, thebottom seat 20 enhances the effect of thepackaging structure 100 in fixing the refrigerator. Further referring toFIG. 2 , in the present embodiment, a hollow 201 is provided in the middle of thebottom seat 20. The area of the hollow 201 is between one third and two thirds of the area of thebottom seat 20.

holes 101 are disposed at predetermined positions of thetop seat 10, and the plurality of throughholes 101 are evenly arranged. For the sake of clarity and conciseness of the figures, only throughholes 101 are exemplarily marked inFIG. 2 , and not all the throughholes 101 are marked. - In the present embodiment, the
bottom seat 20, thetop seat 10, and the four vertical side edges are all made of a shock-absorbing material such as a polyethylene foam (EPE), a foamed polypropylene (EPP), a rubber material, fleece paper etc. By employing the shock-absorbing material, the shock-resistant capability of thepackaging structure 100 is effectively improved, thereby avoiding damage to the refrigerator due to shock during transportation. - The
film layer 40 wraps the outside of thebottom seat 20, thetop seat 10 and the four vertical side edges by means of film shrinking upon heating. After the refrigerator is accommodated in the accommodating space and thebottom seat 20, thetop seat 10 and the four vertical side edges are assembled together, a worker or an industrial robot covers, in the vertical direction, the outer surface of the outline main body constituted by thebottom seat 20, thetop seat 10 and the four vertical side edges, the film is made shrink upon heating, so that atransparent film layer 40 is formed on the surface of the outer contour formed by thebottom seat 20, thetop seat 10 and the four vertical side edges. Thefilm layer 40 surrounds and fixes thebottom seat 20, thetop seat 10, the four vertical side edges and the refrigerator as a whole. - The material of the
film layer 40 has colorless, odorless, non-toxic, transparent and easily heat-shrinkable properties. In the present embodiment, the material specifically selected for thefilm layer 40 comprises polyethylene (PE film) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC film). A manner of heating the film may employ heating with a heat gun or systematic heating with a heating device. Heating with the heat gun is generally suitable for small-scale production, and heating with the heating device is generally suitable for mass production. Thefilm layer 40 has transparent properties, and the user can see the status of a refrigerator product without opening the package. Furthermore, thefilm layer 40 has characteristics such as low cost, small size and compactness, which effectively reduces the cost during production and transportation. Furthermore, thefilm layer 40 has characteristics such as stable chemical properties and water resistance, thereby effectively avoiding damp, mold and falling-apart problems of the packaging structure due to environmental factors. - In a preferred embodiment, the
packaging structure 100 further comprises anupper cover plate 15. Theupper cover plate 15 covers the outside of thetop seat 10. Theupper cover plate 15 may be in a shape of a semi-open box, thetop seat 10 may be received and mounted in an inner cavity of the box, and a height of the box is equal to or slightly larger than the height of thetop seat 10. Thefilm layer 40 wraps an outer surface of an outline main body formed by thebottom seat 20, theupper cover plate 15 and the four vertical side edges by means of film shrinking upon heating. Thebottom seat 20, theupper cover plate 15, thetop seat 10, the four vertical side edges and thefilm layer 40 form acomplete packaging structure 100. Preferably, thepackaging structure 100 further comprises alower cover plate 25. Thelower cover 25 covers the outside of thebottom seat 20. Thelower cover plate 25 may be in a shape of a semi-open box, thebottom seat 20 may be received and mounted in an inner cavity of the box, and a height of the box is equal to or slightly larger than the height of thebottom seat 20. Thefilm layer 40 wraps an outer surface of an outline main body formed by thelower cover plate 25, theupper cover plate 15 and the four vertical side edges by means of film shrinking upon heating. Thelower cover plate 25, thebottom seat 20, theupper cover plate 15, thetop seat 10, the four vertical side edges and thefilm layer 40 form acomplete packaging structure 100. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 to FIG. 2 , thepackaging structure 100 comprises theupper cover plate 15, atop seat 10, four vertical side edges, thebottom seat 20, thelower cover plate 25 and thefilm layer 40.
