Refrigerator with heat dissipation compartment at bootom
Abstract
A refrigerator with a bottom-arranged heat dissipation compartment, comprising: a refrigerator body, a fixing support, a heat dissipation fan, and a condenser. The heat dissipation compartment is arranged behind the bottom of the refrigerator body, the fixing support is arranged in the lateral middle of the heat dissipation compartment to separate the heat dissipation compartment into a first heat dissipation cavity and a second heat dissipation cavity in the lateral direction of the refrigerator body, a fan fixing structure is provided on the side of the fixing support facing the first heat dissipation cavity, and a condenser fixing structure is provided on the side of the fixing support facing the second heat dissipation cavity; the heat dissipation fan is mounted on the fan fixing structure for promoting the formation of a heat dissipation air flow, which enters from the outside of the refrigerator body, blows through the first heat dissipation cavity and the second heat dissipation cavity and is then discharged out of the refrigerator body; and the condenser is mounted on the condenser fixing structure for cooling by means of the heat dissipation air flow. In the refrigerator, the fixing support, the heat dissipation fan, and the condenser together form an integrated air duct structure, components of the heat dissipation compartment are arranged in a more compact structure, and the process of assembling is simpler and more efficient.
