DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and apparently, the described embodiments are not all but only a part of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0018] Reference is made to FIGS. 1 to 12 which show embodiments of a refrigerator according to the present invention, the refrigerator comprises a refrigerator body and a door body located on a front side of the refrigerator body to open or close the refrigerator body, the refrigerator body comprises an inner container 1 and a housing 2 located on an outer side of the inner container, the refrigerator further comprises a pre-embedded box 3 provided between the inner container 1 and the housing 2, and a main control board 4 provided in the pre-embedded box 3, the housing 2 has a mounting notch 223 for mounting the pre-embedded box 3 and a fastening hole 23 provided close to the mounting notch 223, the pre-embedded box 3 has an outer wall surface attached to an inner wall of the housing 2 and a fastening structure 34 formed by protruding from the outer wall surface, and the fastening structure 34 penetrates through the fastening hole 23 to be fixedly buckled to the housing 2.

[0019] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 which show a first embodiment of the present invention, in the present embodiment, the refrigerator is configured as an embedded refrigerator and mainly provided in a cupboard, and certainly, the refrigerator can be configured as a traditional refrigerator. A foaming cavity 5 is formed between the housing 2 and the inner container 1, the refrigerator further has a heat insulating layer provided between the housing 2 and the inner container 1 adjacent to the mounting box 3, and the heat insulating layer can be formed in the foaming cavity 5 by foaming or have a vacuum heat insulating design.

[0020] In the present embodiment, the housing 2 comprises an assembled housing body 21, and a reinforcing beam 22 provided on a front side of the housing body 21, the reinforcing beam 22 has a first wall 221 extending in a front-rear direction, and a second wall 222 formed by bending from the first wall 221 towards the inner container 1 (that is, bent and extending in an up-down direction), and the opening 31 of the mounting box 3 penetrates through the second wall 222 forwards. The first wall 221 of the reinforcing beam 22 is fixed to a top wall of the housing 2, the second wall 222 is fixed to a part of a side wall of the housing 2 bent in a transverse direction, and the whole reinforcing beam 22 is fixed inside the housing 2 and provided at a foremost end of the housing 2, thereby increasing integrity of the housing 2.

[0021] In the present embodiment, the mounting notch 223 is provided on the first wall 221 and the second wall 222 of the reinforcing beam 22 and is through in the up-down direction. That is, it can be understood that the mounting notch 223 is formed by recessing a front end of the first wall 221 and the second wall 222 backwards.

[0022] Since the pre-embedded box 3 in the present invention is provided between the housing 2 and the inner container 1, by independently providing a reinforcing beam 22, a housing body 21 and the inner container 1 can be conveniently connected, structural strength of the pre-embedded box 3 is improved, a process is simpler, and a production efficiency is higher. Certainly, in other embodiments, the housing body 21 and the reinforcing beam 22 can be integrally formed.

[0023] In the present embodiment, the pre-embedded box 3 is provided between a top wall of the housing 2 and the inner container 1 and located on a front side of a foaming cavity 5. On the one hand, since an area of the top wall is less than an area of a side wall, the foaming cavity 5 between the top wall and the inner container 1 can be easily thickened to prevent the pre-embedded box 3 from protruding from the housing 2, and the foaming cavity 5 between the thickened top wall and the inner container 1 has a lower cost compared with the foaming cavity 5 between the thickened side wall and the inner container 1.

[0024] On the other hand, generally, a storage compartment on an upper side of the refrigerator is configured as a refrigerating chamber, and has a relatively higher storage temperature than a freezing chamber, such that the temperature of the refrigerating chamber is not prone to influence work of the main control board 4. Meanwhile, with the main control board 4 provided at this position, a repair person is not required to bend down for work, thus reducing repair difficulty.

[0025] Certainly, in other embodiments, the pre-embedded box 3 can be provided in the foaming cavity 5 between the side wall and the inner container 1, or the foaming cavity 5 between the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber. When the pre-embedded box 3 is provided in the foaming cavity 5 between the side wall and the inner container 1, only part of the pre-embedded box 3 can be provided to protrude from the side wall of the housing 2, and then, the cupboard is provided with an accommodating structure fitted with the protruding structure. When the pre-embedded box 3 is provided in the foaming cavity 5 between the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber, a heat insulating performance of the pre-embedded box 3 should be increased to reduce an influence of a low temperature of the freezing chamber thereon.

[0026] In the present embodiment, the mounting box 3 is provided adjacent to the inner wall of the housing 2; that is, the mounting box 3 is attached to the top wall of the housing 2, such that a distance between a bottom of the mounting box 3 and the inner container 1 can be increased, thereby increasing a thickness of the heat insulating layer therebetween, and then reducing the influence of the temperature in the storage compartment on the main control board; heat generated when the main control board 4 works can be conducted out through the housing 2 made of metal, thus improving a heat dissipation effect. Meanwhile, under a condition of a sufficient heat preservation effect, the distance between the top wall of the housing 2 and the inner container 1 can be minimized; that is, the foaming cavity 5 is thinnest, and a size of the refrigerator is reduced.

[0027] In the present embodiment, the pre-embedded box 3 has a top wall, a bottom wall, two side walls and a rear wall connected between the top wall and the bottom wall, and an opening 31 formed in a side between the top wall and the bottom wall opposite to the rear wall, the opening 31 is communicated with the mounting notch 223, the outer wall surface of the pre-embedded box 3 attached to the inner wall of the housing is configured as the top wall of the pre-embedded box 3, and the main control board 4 is parallel to the top wall and the bottom wall.

[0028] A part of the pre-embedded box 3 corresponding to the upper mounting notch 223 protrudes into the upper mounting notch 223 and covers an inner wall of the upper mounting notch 223. That is, the inner wall of the upper mounting notch 223 is provided to be fitted with an outer wall of the pre-embedded box 3. A position where the opening 31 of the pre-embedded box 3 penetrates through a second wall 222 is communicated with the front mounting notch 223, such that an upper front end of the pre-embedded box 3 is exposed outside.

[0029] Therefore, during repair, the repair person cannot touch the reinforcing beam 22, and even when the opening 31 of the pre-embedded box 3 is not quite large, the repair person can only touch a plastic structure of the pre-embedded box 3, such that the repair person cannot be scratched by a metal structure of the reinforcing beam 22, thus reducing an injury risk of the repair person. Certainly, in other embodiments, the pre-embedded box 3 may not protrude into the mounting notch 223; that is, the outer wall of the pre-embedded box 3 is provided to be attached to an inner wall surface of a first wall 221.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the pre-embedded box 3 comprises a top cover 32 and a base 33 which are assembled to each other up and down, such that forming and assembly are simpler; the top wall and the bottom wall are formed on the top cover 32 and the base 33 respectively. Certainly, in other embodiments, the pre-embedded box 3 can be integrally formed. The top cover 32 has screw holes formed in an up-down direction, and the refrigerator further comprises screws for fixing the top cover 32 to the housing 2.

[0031] In the present embodiment, the fastening hole 23 is provided in the top wall of the housing 2, and penetrates through the housing body 21 and the first wall 221 of the reinforcing beam 22 in the up-down direction. The fastening structure 34 has an extending portion 341 perpendicularly extending from the outer wall surface of the pre-embedded box 3 towards the housing, a buckling portion 342 extending from the extending portion towards the mounting notch, and a first buckling cavity 343 formed between the buckling portion 342 and the outer wall surface of the pre-embedded box 3, and a height of a part of an inner cavity of the first buckling cavity 343 close the mounting notch 223 is greater than a height of a part of the inner cavity adjacent to the extending portion 341.

[0032] The buckling portion 342 has a greater extension length than the extending portion 341, and an inclined surface extending obliquely towards an interior of the first buckling cavity 343 is formed at an end of the buckling portion 342 close to the mounting notch 223. With the above-mentioned structure, the pre-embedded box 3 and the housing 2 are pre-fixed, the greater extension length of the buckling portion 342 can guarantee a good fixing effect, and the inclined surface can ensure that the top wall of the housing 2 smoothly enters the first buckling cavity 343.

[0033] In the present embodiment, in order to improve the pre-fixing effect of the pre-embedded box 3 and the housing 2, the pre-embedded box 3 further has an abutting structure 30 protruding from the outer wall surface to abut against an edge of the mounting notch 223 of the housing 2, the abutting structure 30 and the fastening structure 34 are spaced apart in a front-rear direction, and the fastening structure 34 and the abutting structure 30 are staggered in a width direction of the pre-embedded box 3, such that the above structure is conveniently formed in a limited space of the pre-embedded box 3.

[0034] The abutting structure 30 is further provided with a clamping portion 301 extending towards the fastening structure 34, a second buckling cavity 302 for accommodating the edge of the mounting notch 223 of the housing 2 is formed between the clamping portion 301 and the outer wall surface of the pre-embedded box 3, and an inclined guide surface 303 is formed on a side of an extending tail end of the clamping portion 301 apart from the second buckling cavity 302. The pre-fixing effect can be further enhanced by fitting the abutting structure 30 with the fastening structure 34, and the fitting between the abutting structure 30 and the fastening structure 34 can reduce a risk of damage to the fastening structure 34 and/or the abutting structure 30.

[0035] With the above structure, the pre-embedded box 3 and the housing 2 can be pre-fixed, a screw fixing mode is avoided, the screws penetrate through the top cover 32 to damage the main control board 4 in the pre-embedded box 3, and meanwhile, the repair person can be prevented from being scratched by the screws. After prepositioning, hole positions between the pre-embedded box 3 and the housing 2 are aligned, and then, fixation is further performed using the screws, such that the pre-embedded box 3 is not required to be held with the hand during fixation by the screws, thus improving an assembly efficiency.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the mounting box 3 has supporting legs 35 protruding downwards from a lower surface of the lower cover 33 to be supported on the inner container 1, and the supporting legs 35 can assist the prepositioning structure, improve a prepositioning effect, and meanwhile reduce a risk of damage to the clamping structure 34.

[0037] The mounting box 3 has a wire harness passing hole 36 for providing a wire harness, and in the present embodiment, the wire harness passing hole 36 is located on a transverse side, and due to the arrangement on the transverse side, during repair by the repair person, the wire harness is relatively closer to the repair person, such that the repair person can conveniently perform a check and repair. Certainly, in other embodiments, the wire harness passing hole can be located on a rear side.

[0038] The mounting box 3 further has a ventilation hole 37 for communicating the foaming cavity 5 with the interior of the mounting box 3. The refrigerator further comprises a breathable film (not shown) provided at the ventilation hole 37 on an outer side of the mounting box 3. In the present embodiment, the ventilation hole 37 is mainly provided on the lower cover 33. By providing the ventilation hole 37 and the breathable film, during foaming, communication with the external world can be realized to reduce a foaming pressure, such that the foaming process is smoother; the breathable film can ensure that a foaming material cannot enter the mounting box 3, thus avoiding a risk of material spilling of the mounting box 3.

[0039] In the present embodiment, the mounting box 3 defines a first accommodating cavity 38 located on the rear side and a second accommodating cavity 39 located on the front side, the first accommodating cavity 38 is communicated with the second accommodating cavity 39, a width of the second accommodating cavity 39 in the transverse direction is greater than a width of the first accommodating cavity 38 in the transverse direction, and the first accommodating cavity 38 is configured to accommodate the main control board 4.

[0040] The mounting box 3 further has two front side walls 391 formed on both sides of the second accommodating cavity 39, a front top wall and a front bottom wall formed on an upper side and a lower side of the second accommodating cavity 39 respectively, two rear side walls 381 formed on both sides of the first accommodating cavity 38, a connecting wall 392 for connecting a rear end of the front side wall 391 and a front end of the rear side wall 381 on the same side, and a rear top wall and a rear bottom wall formed on an upper side and a lower side of the first accommodating cavity 38 respectively, the front top wall and the rear top wall are located on the same plane, and the front bottom wall and the rear bottom wall are located on the same plane. The front top wall and the rear top wall are formed on the upper cover 32, and the front bottom wall and the rear bottom wall are formed on the lower cover 33.

[0041] In the present embodiment, the connecting wall 392 is located on a rear side of the second accommodating cavity 39, the connecting wall 392 is formed between the front side wall 391 and the rear side wall 381 on one side, and the front side wall 391 and the rear side wall 381 on opposite sides are located on the same plane. That is, one side of the first accommodating cavity 39 and one side of the second accommodating cavity 38 in the transverse direction are flush, and only the other side of the first accommodating cavity 39 is longer than the other side of the second accommodating cavity 38.

[0042] The mounting box 3 has an extension wall 361 protruding outwards from a periphery of the wire harness passing hole 36 of the rear side wall 381, and the extension wall 361 is provided around the wire harness passing hole 36. Therefore, the extension wall 361 can facilitate other wire harnesses to go deep into the mounting box 3, and meanwhile facilitate sealing with respect to other structures, so as to prevent the foaming material from permeating through the wire harness passing hole 36.

[0043] The refrigerator further comprises a display control assembly 6 fitted at the opening 31 and electrically connected with the main control board 4, and the second accommodating cavity 39 is configured to accommodate the display control assembly 6; on the one hand, the display control assembly 6 has a greater transverse width than the main control board 4, and the second accommodating cavity 39 facilitates mounting of the display control assembly 6; on the other hand, during repair, the second accommodating cavity 39 is provided on the front side of the mounting box 3, and the repair person has a larger operation space and can more conveniently perform repair. Certainly, in other embodiments, a cover plate can be fitted at the opening 31, and is only required to cover the main control board 4.

[0044] Specifically, the display control assembly 6 comprises a display control bracket 61, a display control circuit board 62 fixed on the display control bracket 61, and a display control panel 63 covering a front side of the display control bracket 61, the refrigerator further comprises a fixing structure provided between the display control panel 63 and the mounting box 3, and the fixing structure comprises a hook 64 provided on one of the display control panel 63 and the mounting box 3 and a clamping groove 311 provided on the other of the display control panel 63 and the mounting box 3.

The supporting portion 74 can be configured to increase a distance between the main control board 4 and a bottom wall of the inner mounting cavity 71, so as to avoid that when condensation occurs in the mounting base 7, the condensation comes into contact with the main control board 4, and ensure that the main control board 4 works stably.

[0050] The mounting base 7 further has a buckle 75 protruding from an inner side wall of the inner mounting cavity 71, the buckle 75 is fitted with a supporting portion 74 to fix the main control board 4, and the buckle 75 has a guide surface facilitating up-down mounting of the main control board 4. In the present embodiment, each of other side walls of the inner mounting cavity 71 than a front wall is provided with an elastic arm 76, the elastic arm 76 is configured as a part of the side wall of the inner mounting cavity 71, both sides of the elastic arm 76 are spaced apart from the side wall of the inner mounting cavity 71, and the buckle 75 is provided on the elastic arm 76, such that the elastic arm 76 moves close to or away from the inner mounting cavity 71 easily, and the main control board 4 is easier to mount and dismount.

[0051] Certainly, in other embodiments, the mounting base 7 may not have the front wall, and the main control board 4 can be mounted between the limiting buckle 75 and the supporting portion 74 along the front-rear direction.

[0052] In the present embodiment, the mounting base 7 further has a through hole 77 which is through in the up-down direction to expose the bottom of the main control board 4; the arrangement of the through hole 77 can reduce a material cost of the mounting base 7 and improve a heat dispersion performance, and meanwhile can further increase the original distance between the main control board 4 and the inner bottom wall of the inner mounting cavity 71 to become a distance between the main control board 4 and the lower cover 33 of the mounting box 3; even when the condensation appears, the condensation can flow into the mounting box 3 through the through hole 77, thereby further improving a waterproof performance.

[0062] Certainly, in other embodiments, the pre-embedded box 3 can be provided with only one or both of the first abutting portion 312 and the second abutting portion 313, and the mounting base 7 is directly in interference fit with the first abutting portion 312 and/or the second abutting portion 313.

[0063] The mounting base 7 and the pre-embedded box 3 are further fixed by other parts; specifically, a fixing portion 723 protruding outwards is further provided on a front wall of the mounting base 7, a fixing hole 315 fitted with the fixing portion 723 is formed on a rear inner wall of a second accommodating cavity, and the fixing portion 723 and the fixing hole 315 are fixed by one screw.

[0064] In the present embodiment, one end of the second accommodating cavity 39 is aligned with the first accommodating cavity 38, such that the rear inner wall of the second accommodating cavity 39 is only located on one transverse side; the rear inner wall of the second accommodating cavity 39 is further provided with a groove which is recessed backwards to accommodate the fixing portion 723, such that a front end surface of the fixing portion 723 is flush with the rear inner wall, and smooth mounting of a display control assembly 6 is guaranteed.

[0065] Meanwhile, the passing hole 36 of the pre-embedded box 3 is provided on a rear side of a part of the second accommodating cavity 39 longer than the first accommodating cavity 38, such that a wire passing hole 72 is approximately located at a middle position of a width of the second accommodating cavity 39 in the transverse direction, thereby better facilitating connection of the wire harness and the display control circuit board 62; that is, a difference of lengths of the wire harnesses connected to the display control circuit board 62 is less, tidying and an arrangement are easier, and selection of the display control circuit board 62 is wider.

[0066] The fixing portion 723 on the other side in the transverse direction is fitted with a protrusion 316 protruding from the pre-embedded box 3, and the protrusion 316 is also provided with the fixing hole 315, such that a fixing effect of the mounting base 7 can be effectively guaranteed by the first elastic portion 79, the second elastic portion 721, the fixing portion 723 and the fixing hole 315.

[0067] The refrigerator further comprises appearance parts 8 provided on left and right sides of the display control assembly 6, and the appearance parts 8 are fixed on the reinforcing beam 22, thus preventing the reinforcing beam 22 from being exposed, and improving the aesthetic degree. The appearance parts 8 on the left and right sides have inconsistent sizes, and the appearance part 8 on a door hinge side is smaller.

[0068] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 which show a second embodiment of the refrigerator of the present invention different from the first embodiment in that: the display control assembly 6 comprises a display control bracket 61 integrally formed on the front side of the mounting base 7, a display control circuit board 62 fixed on a rear side of the display control bracket 61, and a display control panel 63 covering a front side of the display control bracket 61.

[0069] That is, the front wall of the mounting base 7 and the display control bracket 61 are configured as the same structure, such that the main control board 4 and the display control circuit board 62 can be fixed conveniently, more materials are saved, and the cost is effectively reduced. In the present embodiment, the display control circuit board 62 is provided between the display control bracket 61 and the main control board 4 and located in the inner mounting cavity 71, such that the display circuit board can be directly connected with the main control board 4 in the inner mounting cavity 71, a distance between the display circuit board and the main control board is shorter, and the wire harness connecting the display circuit board and the main control board is not required to penetrate out of the mounting base 7 forwards, thereby reducing wire harness tidying difficulty.

[0070] In addition, since the display control panel 63 and the display control bracket 61 are also fixed together, during disassembly and repair, a fixing structure between the display control panel 63 and the mounting box 3 can be directly released, and then, the display control panel 63 can be directly pulled out. Therefore, the main control board 4 can be taken out in one step, and the repair steps are greatly simplified. Certainly, the premise is that the mounting base 7 and the mounting box 3 are fixed only by the above-mentioned positioning structure, the fixing tab 723 and the screw hole 315 of the mounting base 7 are not fixed by a screw, or the fixing tab 723 and the screw hole 315 are not necessarily provided.
