Refrigerator
A refrigerator includes a top cover for the cooling chamber, an evaporator, a storage chamber and a cooling chamber located below the storage chamber, where at least a part of the top wall of the cooling chamber is formed on this top cover, and the evaporator is located inside the cooling chamber and fixedly connected to the top cover of the cooling chamber in a hanging manner. According to the refrigerator, by fixedly connecting the evaporator to the top cover of the cooling chamber in a hanging manner, the top cover is subjected to a downward force due to the gravity of the evaporator. This refrigerator avoids the bulging of the top cover upwards.
1 . A refrigerator, comprising
a storage compartment and a cooling chamber located below the storage compartment;
a top cover for the cooling chamber, where at least a part of a top wall of the cooling chamber is formed on the top cover;
an evaporator, which is located inside the cooling chamber and fixedly connected to the top cover of the cooling chamber in a hanging manner; and
an insulation component provided between the top cover of the cooling chamber and the evaporator, where the insulation component is fixedly connected to both the top cover and the evaporator, and a top surface of the insulation component abuts the top cover, and a bottom surface of the insulation component abuts the evaporator; and
wherein the insulation component and the evaporator together enclose a frost retention space, with one end of the frost retention space facing an airflow having an opening;
wherein a bottom side of the top cover of the cooling chamber is provided with hook catches, the hook catches hook onto a circumferential edge of the insulation component to fix the insulation component to the bottom side of the top cover of the cooling chamber;
wherein the bottom side of the top cover of the cooling chamber is also provided with positioning ribs, and the insulation component is provided with positioning grooves, the positioning ribs are embedded in the positioning grooves to prevent the insulation component from moving in a horizontal direction;
wherein the evaporator has a fixed part, the fixed part is fixed to the insulation component by screws, bolts, or snap-fitting.
2 . The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein a distance between the fixed part and the hook catches in the horizontal direction is less than a preset distance.
3 . The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein the refrigerator further comprises a reflective film provided between the top cover of the cooling chamber and the insulation component.
4 . The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein the top cover of the cooling chamber comprises a horizontal part corresponding to the evaporator and an inclined part located at a rear side of the evaporator, the inclined part gradually inclines upwards in a direction away from the horizontal part;
the refrigerator further comprises an insulation layer attached to a bottom side of the inclined part.
5 . The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein the refrigerator further comprises an evaporator bottom plate fixed to a bottom side of the evaporator, and the evaporator bottom plate is provided with a drainage grille; and/or
the refrigerator further comprises a defrosting device provided on the evaporator.
6 . The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein the side of the insulation component facing the evaporator forms a recessed groove with an opening; a top wall of the recessed groove, a side wall of the recessed groove and a top surface of the evaporator together enclose the frost retention space, while the opening of the recessed groove forms the opening of the frost retention space.
7 . The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein a height of the frost retention space is greater than a maximum height of a frost on the evaporator.
