BACKGROUND
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a refrigeration appliance, and in particular, to
a household refrigeration appliance, for example, a refrigerator or a wine cooler.
Related Art
[0002] A refrigeration appliance, for example a refrigerator or a wine cooler, is usually
provided with at least one electrical component, for example, a circuit board. During
design of the refrigeration appliance, preventing liquid from entering an accommodating
cavity that accommodates the electrical component and contacting the electrical component
is one of the considerations. When the accommodating housing needs to be sealed by
a cover exposed to the outer surface of the refrigeration appliance, the problem becomes
especially notable.
[0003] CN 102 980 373 A1 discloses a refrigerator in which such a housing comprises an embedded box and a
plate-shaped lid which is installed by having a boss formed at the inner side of a
sidewall of the box engage a groove formed near one edge of the lid and introducing
a screw through a hole formed near another edge of the lid.
[0004] JP2013002676A discloses a refrigeration appliance with an accommodating housing with a cover and
an electrical component in the housing, where the cover is attached to the accommodating
housing by an elastic hook.
SUMMARY
[0005] An objective of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration appliance, which
helps to improve the safety of an electrical component without significantly reducing
the cost efficiency.
[0006] The objective can be achieved by characteristics of independent claims. Preferred
embodiments of the present invention are subject matters of the accompanying drawings,
specification and dependent claims.
[0007] An aspect of the present invention relates to a refrigeration appliance. The refrigeration
appliance includes an accommodating housing with an accommodating cavity having an
open end, at least one electrical component disposed in the accommodating housing,
and a cover for sealing the accommodating cavity, the accommodating housing having
a first side and a second side opposite to each other, characterized in that the refrigeration
appliance further includes a seal ring disposed between the cover and the accommodating
housing, one of the cover and the first side of the accommodating housing is provided
with a slot, the other of the cover and the accommodating housing is provided with
an insert portion for being inserted into the slot, an angle is formed between a direction
in which the insert portion is inserted into the slot and a central axis of the accommodating
housing, the second side is connected to the cover by at least one fixing mechanism,
and the fixing mechanism makes the cover press the seal ring in a direction towards
the accommodating housing.
[0008] In one aspect, the pressed seal ring between the cover and the accommodating housing
can prevent liquid from entering an accommodating cavity. In another aspect, through
insertion and connection between the cover and the first side of the accommodating
housing in a direction not parallel to the central axis of the accommodating housing
and by using a fixing mechanism that makes the cover press the seal ring, the cover
and the seal ring are fixed. In this way, the cover and the accommodating housing
are reliably fixed and the seal ring deforms. In addition, because the insert portion
is inserted into the slot at an angle that is not parallel to the central axis of
the accommodating housing, after the second side is fixed, the first side can be fixed
through the limit function of the insert portion and the slot as well, which also
helps to reduce the number of fixing mechanisms and makes it easy to fix the cover
to the accommodating housing.
[0009] The refrigeration appliance may be a household refrigeration appliance with a cooled
heat insulation storage compartment, for example, a refrigerator or a wine cooler.
The accommodating housing may, for example, be embedded in a heat insulation layer,
and the cover may, for example, be exposed to the outer surface of the refrigeration
appliance or disposed inside the refrigeration appliance. The accommodating housing
may, for example, be disposed at the top or at the rear of the refrigeration appliance.
[0010] The electrical component may be any component that can work after being connected
to power, for example, an electrical component such as a circuit board, a cable, a
resistor, a capacitor, a relay and/or a combination thereof.
[0011] Other independent characteristics or those characteristics that are considered as
features of the present invention through combination with other characteristics will
be described in the following appended claims.
[0012] In a possible embodiment, the insert portion is connected to the slot between the
seal ring and a bottom wall of the accommodating housing in a depth direction of the
accommodating cavity. This helps to ensure the effect of the seal ring.
[0013] In a possible embodiment, an extension portion extending towards the bottom wall
of the accommodating housing for being connected to the first side in an inserting-receiving
way is provided on the inner side of the cover, and the extension portion is connected
to an area of the cover that is located within the seal ring. This further helps to
ensure the effect of the seal ring.
[0014] Though it is possible to form the insert portion on the cover, in a possible embodiment,
an end of the extension portion forms the insert portion extending towards the first
side, and this especially helps to reduce space occupied by the insert structure in
the accommodating cavity.
[0015] In a possible embodiment, the extension portion has an approximately L-shaped section.
[0016] In a possible embodiment, at least two of the insert portions arranged at an interval
are inserted into the slot, and each insert portion adjoins a corresponding end surface
of the slot.
[0017] In a possible embodiment, the slot and/or the insert portion is at least approximately
parallel to the cover. Thus, a more reliable limit relation in the depth direction
of the accommodating cavity can be formed between the slot and the insert portion.
[0018] In a possible embodiment, the insert portion and/or the slot is provided with a wedge-shaped
guide structure. Thus, it is easier to insert the insert portion into the slot.
[0019] In a possible embodiment, the slot is dented outwards from a wall of the first side.
This helps to reduce space occupied by the slot and the insert portion in the accommodating
cavity.
[0020] In a possible embodiment, at least one of the fixing mechanisms includes a screw
penetrating the cover and connected to the accommodating housing.
[0021] In a possible embodiment, the accommodating housing is provided with at least one
cable hole penetrating the wall of the accommodating housing, and the cable hole is
located in the second side.
[0022] The structure of the present invention and other inventive objectives and beneficial
effects of the present invention become more comprehensible through the description
of preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] Referring to FIGs. 1-4, an electrical component installation assembly 100 applicable
to a refrigeration appliance (not shown) includes an accommodating housing 1 fixed
to the refrigeration appliance. The accommodating housing 1 may, for example, be connected
to a shell of the refrigeration appliance and be closely combined with a heat insulation
layer of the refrigeration appliance.
[0025] The accommodating housing 1 includes a bottom wall 12 and a surrounding wall 11 connected
to the periphery of the bottom wall 12, and the bottom wall 12 and the surrounding
wall 11 define an accommodating cavity 10 having an open end. The accommodating housing
1 further includes a flange 13 extending from the end of the surrounding wall 11.
[0026] The accommodating housing 1 is approximately box-shaped, and the accommodating housing
1 has a first side 141 and a second side 142 opposite to each other, and a pair of
connecting sides 143, 144 connected to the first side 141 and the second side 142.
In this embodiment, the first side 141, the second side 142 and the connecting sides
143, 144 respectively include corresponding portions of the surrounding wall 11 and
the flange 13. It should be understood that in embodiments where the accommodating
housing is not provided with the flange or is provided with the flange along only
a part of the surrounding wall 11, the first side, the second side and/or the connecting
sides may not include the flange.
[0027] An electrical module 3 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 10. The electrical
module 3 includes at least one circuit board and/or other electrical components. In
this embodiment, the electrical module 3 includes at least one control unit including
a central processing unit.
[0028] The second side 142 of the accommodating housing 1 is provided with a cable hole
151, 152 penetrating the surrounding wall 11. A cable passes through the corresponding
cable hole 151, 152 to be connected to the electrical module 3.
[0029] The refrigeration appliance includes a cover 2 detachably connected to the accommodating
housing 1 for sealing the accommodating cavity 10. The cover 2 is approximately board-shaped.
A seal ring 4 is disposed between the cover 2 and the accommodating housing 1. The
seal ring 4 may be fixed on the inner side facing the accommodating housing 1 of the
cover 2 in advance. To implement the fixing, the inner side of the cover 2 may be
provided with a positioning slot 23 for fixing the seal ring 4.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the first side 141 of the accommodating housing 1
is provided with a pair of slots 171, 172 that are parallel to each other and in communication
with the accommodating cavity 10. The slots 171, 172 may be parallel to the bottom
wall 12 and the cover 2. The slots 171, 172 may be dented outwards from a portion
corresponding to the first side 141 of the surrounding wall 11, and therefore, the
outer side of the surrounding wall 11 is provided with protruded portions 181, 182
respectively corresponding to the slots 171, 172.
[0031] The inner side of the cover 2 is provided with multiple extension portions 211, 212
(only two extension portions are shown) extending towards the bottom wall 12 of the
accommodating housing 1.
[0032] Each of the extension portions 211, 212 has an approximately L-shaped section, and
includes a connection portion 2112 approximately perpendicular to the outer surface
of the cover 2 and an insert portion 2111 located at the end of the extension portion
211 and extending towards the first side 141 of the accommodating housing 1. The connection
portion 2112 is connected to an area of the cover 2 that is located within the seal
ring 4. A lower surface of the insert portion 2111 may be parallel to the cover 2.
[0033] In this embodiment, two insert portions 2111 arranged at an interval are inserted
into each of the slots 171, 172. Each insert portion 2111 may adjoin a side end surface
of the corresponding slot 171, 172, so that the cover 2 can be limited in a direction
perpendicular to the side end surface of the slot 171, 172.
[0034] When the insert portions 2111 are inserted into the corresponding slots 171, 172,
an angle is formed between a direction in which the insert portions 2111 are inserted
into the slots 171, 172 and a central axis of the accommodating housing 1, that is,
the insert portions 2111 are not inserted into the corresponding slots 171, 172 in
the direction parallel to the central axis of the accommodating housing 1. This helps
to form a limit relation between the insert portions 2111 and the corresponding slots
171, 172 in the direction of the central axis.
[0035] Spacing is kept between the slot 171, 172 and the opening of the accommodating cavity
10 in the depth direction of the accommodating cavity 10. That is, the slot is located
between the seal ring 4 and the bottom wall 12 of the accommodating housing 1 in the
depth direction of the accommodating cavity 10, and the insert portions 2111 at the
end of the extension portion 211 are connected to the slot 171, 172 in the accommodating
cavity 10 in an inserting-receiving way.
[0036] The upper surface of the insert portion 2111 has a wedge-shaped guide slope surface.
Thus, it is easier to insert the insert portion 2111 into the slot 171, 172.
[0037] The second side 142 of the accommodating housing 1 is connected to the connecting
sides 143, 144 and the cover 2 by multiple fixing mechanisms. The fixing mechanisms
are arranged in such a way that the cover 2 is pressed to the accommodating housing
1 and presses the seal ring 4 to make the seal ring 4 deform.
[0038] In this embodiment, some of the multiple fixing mechanisms are formed by screw thread
connection devices 5 that connect and pass through the cover 2 and the accommodating
housing 1. Each screw thread connection device 5 includes a corresponding first hole
241, 242, 243 penetrating the cover 2, a corresponding second hole 161, 162, 163 penetrating
the flange 13 on the accommodating housing 1, and a screw 7 screwed into the corresponding
first hole 241, 242, 243 and second hole 161, 162, 163. When the screw 7 is tightened,
the cover 2 can be pressed to the accommodating housing 1 to make the seal ring 4
deform.
[0039] Others of the multiple fixing mechanisms are formed by buckling structures 6 for
buckling the cover 2 and the accommodating housing 1. The buckling structure 6 includes
an elastic hook 221, 222 extending towards the bottom wall 12 from the inner side
of the cover 2 and a protruding hook 19 protruding from the inner side of the surrounding
wall 11. The elastic hook 221, 222 can be connected to an area surrounded by the seal
ring 4 of the cover 2. The protruding hook 19 protrudes gradually towards the bottom
wall 12 from the opening of the accommodating cavity 10 and forms a hook connecting
surface 190 on a side facing the bottom wall 12. Thus, when the cover 2 is pressed
to the accommodating housing 1, the elastic hook 221, 222 can deform, extend beyond
the protruding hook 19, and be connected to the hook connecting surface 190 under
the effect of the protruding hook 19, so that the cover 2 can be pulled to the accommodating
housing 1 to make the seal ring 4 deform.
[0040] It should be understood that in an alternative embodiment, the fixing mechanisms
can all be made up of the screw thread connection devices 5, or be made up of the
buckling structures 6.
[0041] Various embodiments for describing each single part with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG.
4 may be combined in any given manner.
[0042] In addition, the present invention is not limited to the shown embodiments, and generally
means other than the shown means may be used, as long as they can achieve the same
effect.
