Abstract

A refrigerator includes a case body enclosing a storage space, and a heat insulation wall disposed within the storage space. The storage space is divided into mutually isolated storage compartments by the heat insulation wall. The heat insulation wall includes a vacuum glass module, and the vacuum glass module includes at least two glass layers disposed at a spacing from each other and a vacuum heat insulation cavity located between adjacent glass layers. The vacuum glass module can reduce the thickness of the heat insulation wall and improve the storage performance of the refrigerator.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A refrigerator, comprising:
 a case body enclosing a storage space; and   a heat insulation wall disposed within said storage space, said heat insulation wall dividing said storage space into mutually isolated storage compartments;   said heat insulation wall having a vacuum glass module, said vacuum glass module including at least two adjacent glass layers disposed at a mutual spacing and a vacuum heat insulation cavity located between said adjacent glass layers.   
     
     
         2 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein said case body has an inner wall, and said vacuum glass module includes a frame surrounding said glass layers, said frame being supported on said inner wall. 
     
     
         3 . The refrigerator according to  claim 2 , which further comprises a heat isolation space disposed within said frame, said heat isolation space being an air layer or being filled with a foaming heat insulation material. 
     
     
         4 . The refrigerator according to  claim 3 , wherein said heat isolation space is separated, in a direction surrounding said heat insulation wall, into a plurality of heat isolation spaces being isolated from each other. 
     
     
         5 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein said case body includes a support wall extending towards said storage space, said heat insulation wall being supported on said support wall. 
     
     
         6 . The refrigerator according to  claim 5 , wherein:
 said heat insulation wall has two sides and a thickness direction;   said support wall is one of a plurality of support walls each being disposed on a respective one of said sides of said heat insulation wall in said thickness direction; and   said heat insulation wall is sandwiched between said support walls.   
     
     
         7 . The refrigerator according to  claim 5 , wherein said case body has a heat insulation space formed therein, said heat insulation space is filled with a foaming heat insulation material, and said heat insulation space extends into said support wall. 
     
     
         8 . The refrigerator according to  claim 7 , wherein said support wall has a side facing towards said heat insulation wall, said support wall has a reinforcement plate on said side facing towards said heat insulation wall, and said reinforcement plate connects said support wall to said heat insulation wall. 
     
     
         9 . The refrigerator according to  claim 5 , wherein said support wall and said case body are separate molded parts, and said support wall is fixedly connected to said case body. 
     
     
         10 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein said vacuum glass module and said case body are bonded to each other by an adhesive material. 
     
     
         11 . The refrigerator according to  claim 10 , wherein said adhesive material is a double-sided adhesive tape or a hot melt adhesive. 
     
     
         12 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein said storage compartments include a refrigeration compartment, a variable temperature compartment, or a freezing compartment.
