Refrigeration appliance

Abstract

A refrigeration appliance has a box body and a door arranged in the front of the box body, an accommodating cavity arranged at the top of the box body with a first inlet open upward to allow a control and/or power supply module to enter the accommodating cavity, and a top cap for closing the first inlet. The control and/or power supply module includes a first connector, and the accommodating cavity is arranged to open toward a rear side of the box body to allow a second connector to be engaged with the first connector from the rear side of the box body. This allows to increase a volume of the refrigeration appliance, and the control and/or power supply module is connected conveniently.

         21 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 16 , wherein said control and/or power supply module comprises a printed circuit board extending in a horizontal direction, and said second connector is configured to be plugged onto said first connector from the rear side of said box body in parallel with said printed circuit board. 
     
     
         22 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 16 , wherein said box body comprises a back plate, an upper plate, and an accommodating housing, wherein said upper plate has a first opening, said accommodating housing is connected to said upper plate through said first opening, and said control and/or power supply module is at least partially accommodated in said accommodating housing. 
     
     
         23 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 22 , wherein a rear end of said accommodating housing is at least partially connected to said back plate. 
     
     
         24 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 23 , wherein said accommodating housing forms a part of a rear surface of said box body, and said accommodating housing is formed with a second inlet that is open toward the rear side of said box body to allow the second connector to be engaged with said first connector. 
     
     
         25 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 24 , wherein:
 said accommodating housing includes a pair of connecting walls that are opposite to each other and extend from rear to front; and   wherein at least one of:
 said second inlet is formed between said pair of connecting walls; or 
 the second connector is at least partially arranged between said pair of connecting walls. 
   
     
     
         26 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 23 , wherein said back plate is formed with a second opening, and said accommodating housing comprises an extending portion connected to said back plate through said second opening. 
     
     
         27 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 22 , wherein said control and/or power supply module comprises a holder and a printed circuit board carried on said holder, and said holder is connected to said accommodating housing and is formed with a cut corresponding to said first connector. 
     
     
         28 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 22 , wherein the top cap forms a part of the rear surface of the box body. 
     
     
         29 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 22 , which further comprises a waterproof mechanism arranged on at least one of said accommodating housing or said upper plate through said first opening, for blocking said accommodating cavity from outside jointly with said top cap or independently of said top cap. 
     
     
         30 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 16 , wherein:
 said box body has a water outlet on the rear side of said box body; and   wherein at least one of:
 said water outlet is in fluid communication with said accommodating cavity and the rear side of said box body; or 
 said water outlet is provided at an end of a slot or is in fluid communication with the slot, the slot being provided around said accommodating cavity and arranged outside said accommodating cavity.
