Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, and specifically to a refrigeration equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Refrigerators typically have bottle racks and other storage devices on the door to improve space utilization and increase storage space.

[0003] In existing refrigerator designs, the door jamb and storage unit are usually designed in a coordinated manner to improve the overall aesthetics. However, the door jamb height varies depending on the door thickness, which means that a storage unit with a specific structure needs to be designed for each door thickness. Therefore, the storage unit cannot be universally used on doors of different thicknesses. Utility Model Content

[0004] One object of the embodiments of this disclosure is to provide an improved refrigeration appliance.

[0005] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure provide a refrigeration appliance including a housing and a door, the housing defining at least one storage compartment, the door being movably connected to the housing to open or close at least a portion of the storage compartment, the door including an inner liner and a storage device connected to the inner liner, the inner liner facing the housing when the door is closed, the inner liner including a bottom wall defining a rear surface of the door and a door sill projecting rearwardly from the bottom wall, the storage device being at least partially located within the space enclosed by the bottom wall and the door sill; wherein the door sill includes a first wall adjacent to the bottom wall, the first wall including a first portion adjacent to the bottom wall, and a second portion located on a side of the first portion away from the bottom wall, the second portion extending obliquely away from the bottom wall relative to the first portion.

[0006] This implementation scheme designs the first wall as two angled surfaces. Instead of adjusting the dimensions of the first wall along the door thickness to accommodate the shape of the storage device, the overall dimensions of the first wall along the door thickness are designed based on the required door threshold height of the refrigeration appliance, ensuring refrigeration performance. Even if the overall dimensions of the first wall along the door thickness are relatively large due to the door threshold height requirement, the outward-sloping design of the second part narrows the portion of the door threshold facing the user when the door is opened, reducing the door's bulkiness and optimizing its aesthetic appearance. Furthermore, the specially designed door threshold in this implementation scheme can adapt to storage devices of any shape, thus eliminating the need to develop storage devices specifically for door thresholds of a certain height, reducing the number of molds and improving versatility.

[0007] Optionally, the door pier further includes a second wall opposite to the first wall along the width direction of the door and an end wall located between the first and second walls, wherein the second portion extends obliquely from the first portion toward the end wall and toward the second wall. Thus, the width of the door pier gradually narrows at the end wall, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall visual effect on the inside of the door.

[0008] Optionally, the second wall is substantially parallel to the thickness direction of the door. Thus, the outer surface of the door sill remains parallel to the thickness direction of the door, ensuring a reliable fit between the door and the inner liner of the enclosure when the door is closed, preventing cold leakage.

[0009] Optionally, the closer to the end wall along the thickness direction of the door, the smaller the distance between the second portion and the second wall. Thus, the door pier width gradually narrows at the end wall, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0010] Optionally, the angle between the second part and the bottom wall ranges from [95°, 110°]. This ensures that the door pier becomes sharper as it moves further away from the bottom wall to improve the aesthetics of the door, while also preventing the door pier from becoming too sharp at the end wall, thus affecting the thickness of the insulation layer at the door pier and guaranteeing a superior insulation effect.

[0011] Optionally, the storage device has a first boundary line on its side wall facing the first wall, and a second boundary line between the first part and the second part, with the first boundary line and the second boundary line aligned. Thus, the side of the door facing the storage device is also made into two surfaces to form a dividing line, aligned with the first boundary line of the storage device, creating a better correspondence and a more aesthetically pleasing visual effect.

[0012] Optionally, the sidewall of the storage device includes a third portion corresponding to the first portion and a fourth portion corresponding to the second portion, the adjoining point of the third portion and the fourth portion forming the first boundary line, and the second portion and the fourth portion each extending away from the second boundary line or the first boundary line. Thus, when the door is opened, the gap between the storage device and the door sill forms a flared opening that narrows inwards, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the inside of the door.

[0013] Optionally, the first part is provided with a connection structure for connecting the storage device.

[0014] Optionally, the projection of the first wall along the width direction of the door covers at least one-third of the side wall of the storage device. This ensures that the height of the door sill is sufficiently large to guarantee cooling performance. For example, in scenarios where the side wall of the storage device has a first boundary line, the door sill extends a considerable distance beyond the first boundary line to prevent condensation on the door seal due to an excessively low door sill, thus ensuring cooling performance.

[0015] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a refrigeration appliance, including a housing and a door, the housing defining at least one storage compartment, the door being movably connected to the housing to open or close at least a portion of the storage compartment, the door including an inner liner and a storage device connected to the inner liner, the inner liner facing the housing when the door is closed, the inner liner including a bottom wall defining a rear surface of the door and a door sill projecting rearwardly from the bottom wall, the storage device being at least partially located within the space enclosed by the bottom wall and the door sill; wherein the door sill includes a first wall adjacent to the bottom wall, the first wall including a non-coplanar first portion and a second portion, the first portion being located between the second portion and the bottom wall, the included angle between the second portion and the side wall of the storage device being a value from [10°, 30°].

[0016] By employing this embodiment, the first wall has two angled surfaces, with the outermost surface extending outwards at an angle relative to the sidewall of the storage device, allowing the door to be compatible with storage devices employing any sidewall shape. Especially when the sidewall of the storage device also has two angled surfaces, and the boundary line between the two surfaces is not aligned with the end wall, by controlling the angle between the second part and the sidewall of the storage device within a suitable range, it is still possible to maintain superior aesthetics while ensuring door compatibility with storage devices.

[0017] Optionally, the sidewall of the storage device includes a third portion corresponding to the first portion and a fourth portion corresponding to the second portion, with the included angle between the fourth portion and the first portion ranging from [4°, 10°]. Thus, the fourth portion is inclined a certain distance away from the second portion to form a flared opening in conjunction with the second portion, improving the aesthetic value of the inner side of the door while avoiding excessive sacrifice of the door pier's dimensions along the door width. On the other hand, the inclination of the fourth portion is not too large to avoid sacrificing the volume of the storage device.

[0018] Optionally, the gate embankment further includes a second wall opposite to the first wall along the width direction of the gate and an end wall located between the first wall and the second wall, wherein the included angle between the second portion and the second wall is taken from [5°, 20°].

[0019] Optionally, the included angle between the first part and the second part is taken from [160°, 175°]. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the above-described objects, features, and advantages of this disclosure more apparent and understandable, embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals are used to denote the same parts in each drawing. The embodiments are merely illustrative, and of course, partial substitutions or combinations can be made to the structures shown in different embodiments. In the variations, descriptions of matters common to the first embodiment are omitted, and only the differences are described. In particular, the same effects produced by the same structure will not be mentioned one by one in each embodiment.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a refrigeration appliance 1 according to the first embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the middle door 11.

[0033] Refrigeration appliance 1 can be, for example, a refrigerator, a freezer, a wine cabinet, etc.

[0034] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The refrigeration appliance 1 may include a housing 10 and a door 11, the housing 10 defining at least one storage compartment, and the door 11 being movably connected to the housing 10 to open or close at least a portion of the storage compartment. The storage compartment may be, for example, a freezer compartment, a refrigerator compartment, etc.

[0035] For ease of description, in this embodiment, the width direction of door 11 is denoted as the x-direction, the thickness direction as the y-direction, and the height direction as the z-direction. When door 11 is closed to the storage room, as... Figure 1 As shown, the x-direction is parallel to the width direction of the refrigeration appliance 1, the y-direction is parallel to the depth direction of the refrigeration appliance 1, and the z-direction is parallel to the height direction of the refrigeration appliance 1. In this embodiment, the front and back directions refer to the y-direction and its opposite direction. The front or front side refers to the direction in which the refrigeration appliance 1 faces the user when in use, and the back or rear side refers to the direction in which the refrigeration appliance 1 is away from the user when in use.

[0036] Furthermore, door 11 may include an insulated space filled with insulating material. When door 11 is closed, the insulating layer formed by the insulating space effectively insulates against heat, ensuring optimal refrigeration / freezing performance of the storage compartment. Door 11 may include a front panel 110, an inner liner 112 facing the cabinet 10 when door 11 is closed, and a frame 111 arranged around the perimeter of door 11. The insulating space is located between the front panel 110 and the inner liner 112. In some embodiments, the front panel 110 may form at least a portion of the front boundary of the insulating space, such that the insulating material contacts the rear side of the front panel 110. The front panel 110 may be a glass panel, and correspondingly, door 11 may also be referred to as a glass door. Alternatively, the front panel 110 may be a ceramic panel.

[0037] Furthermore, the inner liner 112 includes a bottom wall 113 defining the rear surface of the door 11. The bottom wall 113 is generally in a plane perpendicular to the z-direction.

[0038] Furthermore, the inner liner 112 also includes a door sill 2 that protrudes rearward from the bottom wall 113. The door sill 2 is located at least on both sides of the bottom wall 113 in the x-direction. For example, door sill 2 is provided around a perimeter of the bottom wall 113. When the door 11 closes the storage compartment, the door sill 2 extends into the storage compartment to seal the gap between the storage compartment and the door 11, preventing cold air from leaking out of the storage compartment.

[0039] Furthermore, the refrigeration appliance 1 includes a storage device 3, which is detachably connected to the inner liner 112. The storage device 3 can be a shelf with storage function, such as a bottle rack or egg carton. By suspending the storage device 3 in the inner liner 112 of the door 11, the storage space of the refrigeration appliance 1 can be increased.

[0040] The storage device 3 is at least partially located within the space enclosed by the bottom wall 113 and the door pier 2. Further, the door pier 2 includes a first wall 21 adjacent to the bottom wall 113, a second wall 23 opposite to the first wall 21 along the x-direction, and an end wall 22 located between the first wall 21 and the second wall 23. That is, the first wall 21 is the wall of the door pier 2 facing the storage device 3, and the storage device 3 is at least partially located within the space enclosed by the first wall 21 and the bottom wall 113. For example, the storage device 3 extends along the x-direction to both sides of the bottom wall 113 and is close to the first walls 21 on both sides; specifically, the storage device 3 may be connected to the bottom wall 113 or to the first wall 21.

[0041] Furthermore, the first wall 21 includes a first portion 211 adjacent to the bottom wall 113, and a second portion 212 located on the side of the first portion 211 away from the bottom wall 113. In other words, the first wall 21 includes a non-coplanar first portion 211 and a second portion 212, wherein the first portion 211 is located between the second portion 212 and the bottom wall 113.

[0042] Further, refer to Figures 2 to 4 The second part 212 extends at an angle away from the bottom wall 113 relative to the first part 211. For example, the first part 211 may be approximately perpendicular to the bottom wall 113 and smoothly transition at the junction of the two, and the second part 212 extends from the first part 211 at an angle away from the bottom wall 113 and outward, where outward means towards the outside of the door 11, that is, away from the storage device 3.

[0043] For example, the included angle γ between the first part 211 and the second part 212 can be taken from [160°, 175°].

[0044] Therefore, the first wall 21 is designed with two angled surfaces. This eliminates the need to adjust the dimensions of the first wall 21 along the thickness direction of the door 11 (i.e., the z-direction) to accommodate the shape of the storage device 3. Instead, the overall dimensions of the first wall 21 along the thickness direction of the door 11 are designed based on the required height of the door pier 2 of the refrigeration appliance 1, ensuring refrigeration performance. The overall dimensions of the first wall 21 along the thickness direction of the door 11 refer to the inner depth of the inner liner 112, that is, the distance from the end wall 22 to the bottom wall 113. Even if the overall dimensions of the first wall 21 along the z-direction are relatively large due to the height requirements of the door pier 2, the outward tilting design of the second part 212 narrows the portion of the door pier 2 facing the user when the door 11 is opened, reducing the heaviness of the door 11 and optimizing its aesthetic appearance. Furthermore, the specially designed door pier 2 in this embodiment can adapt to storage devices 3 of any shape, thus eliminating the need to develop a storage device 3 specifically for a door pier 2 of a certain height, reducing the number of molds and improving versatility.

[0045] In a specific implementation, continue to refer to Figures 2 to 4 The storage device 3 has a pair of sidewalls 31 facing each other along the x-direction, and the included angle β between the second part 212 and the sidewall 31 of the storage device 3 can be taken from [10°, 30°]. Specifically, the included angle β refers to the included angle between the sidewall 31 of the storage device 3 and the part of the second part 212 facing each other and the second part 212.

[0046] For example, refer to Figure 4 The side wall 31 of the storage device 3 includes two non-coplanar parts, namely the third part 311 corresponding to the first part 211 and the fourth part 312 corresponding to the second part 212. The included angle β specifically refers to the included angle between the fourth part 312 and the second part 212.

[0047] For example, if the side wall 31 of the storage device 3 can be a complete plane, then the included angle β refers to the included angle between the plane and the second part 212.

[0048] Therefore, by having the first wall 21 have two angled surfaces, with the outer surface extending outward at an angle relative to the side wall 31 of the storage device, the door 11 can be compatible with storage devices 3 that employ any shape of side wall 31. In particular, when the side wall 31 of the storage device 3 also has two angled surfaces, and the boundary line between the two surfaces (the first boundary line 313 described below) is not aligned with the end wall 22, by controlling the angle β within a suitable range, it is still possible to ensure that the door 11 is compatible with the storage device 3 while maintaining a superior aesthetic appearance.

[0049] In a specific implementation, continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The second portion 212 can extend obliquely from the first portion 211 toward the end wall 22 and toward the second wall 23. Specifically, the second portion 212 extends at an angle to the y-direction. Furthermore, the extension trend of the second portion 212 is that it gets closer to the end wall 22 and closer to the second wall 23. As a result, the width of the door embankment 2 along the x-direction (i.e., the spacing L mentioned below) gradually narrows at the end wall 22, making the overall visual effect of the inner side of the door 11 more aesthetically pleasing. Here, the inner side of the door 11 refers to the side where the rear surface of the door 11 is located, that is, the side of the door 11 visible to the user when the storage compartment is opened.

[0050] In a specific implementation, continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second wall 23 is substantially parallel to the thickness direction of the door 11, that is, the second wall 23 extends substantially along the y-direction. As a result, the outer surface of the door dam 2 remains parallel to the thickness direction of the door 11, ensuring that the door 11 reliably fits the inner liner of the cabinet 10 when closed, and preventing cold leakage.

[0051] In a specific implementation, continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Along the thickness direction of the door 11 (i.e., the y-direction), the closer to the end wall 22, the smaller the distance L between the second part 212 and the second wall 23. For example, the second wall 23 extends from the end wall 22 along the y-direction, and the second part 212 extends from the first part 211 in the opposite direction of the y-direction and inclined towards the second wall 23; the corresponding distance L gradually decreases in the opposite direction of the y-direction. Thus, the width of the door pier 2 gradually narrows at the end wall 22, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing visual effect.

[0052] In a specific implementation, continue to refer to Figure 3 The angle α between the second part 212 and the bottom wall 113 can range from [95°, 110°]. In other words, the outward deviation of the second part 212 from the y-direction is controlled within a small range of approximately 5° to 20°. Thus, while ensuring that the door pier 2 becomes sharper as it moves further away from the bottom wall 113 to improve the aesthetic appearance of the door 11, it also ensures that the door pier 2 is not too sharp at the end wall 22, which would affect the thickness of the insulation layer at the door pier 2, thereby guaranteeing a superior insulation effect.

[0053] In a specific implementation, refer to Figures 1 to 5The side wall 31 of the storage device 3 facing the first wall 21 can have a first boundary line 313, that is, the first boundary line 313 is formed at the junction of the third part 311 and the fourth part 312. Similarly, there is a second boundary line 213 between the first part 211 and the second part 212, wherein the first boundary line 213 and the second boundary line 313 are aligned. That is, the projections of the first boundary line 213 and the second boundary line 313 in the x-direction coincide. Thus, the side of the door pier 2 facing the storage device 3 (i.e., the first wall 21) is also made into two surfaces to form a dividing line, which is aligned with the first boundary line 313 of the storage device 3, forming a better correspondence and a more aesthetically pleasing visual effect.

[0054] Further reference Figure 4 The second part 212 and the fourth part 312 each extend away from the second boundary line 213 or the first boundary line 313. As a result, when the door 11 is opened, the gap between the storage device 3 and the door sill 2 forms a flared opening that narrows inward toward the door 11 (i.e., along the y direction shown in the figure), enhancing the aesthetic value of the inside of the door 11.

[0055] In some embodiments, the included angle θ between the fourth portion 312 and the first portion 211 can be taken from [4°, 10°]. In other words, the second portion 212 and the fourth portion 312 each extend away from the second boundary line 213 and the first boundary line 313, and the slope of the fourth portion 312 relative to the y-direction can be less than the slope of the second portion 212 relative to the y-direction. Thus, the fourth portion 312 is inclined a certain distance away from the second portion 212 to cooperate with the second portion 212 to form a flared opening, improving the aesthetic value of the inside of the door 11 while avoiding excessive sacrifice of the dimensions of the door pier 2 along the width direction of the door 11 (i.e., the spacing L). On the other hand, the slope of the fourth portion 312 is not too large so as not to sacrifice the volume of the storage device 3.

[0056] In some embodiments, the included angle δ between the second portion 212 and the second wall 23 can be taken from [5°, 20°]. Thus, the second portion 212 is more obviously inclined toward the second wall 23 than the first portion 212. On the one hand, it can cooperate with the side wall 31 of the storage device 3 to form a flared opening. On the other hand, it can also reduce the size of the door pier 2 in the x-direction near the end wall 22 to reduce the heaviness of the door and improve the aesthetics of the door 11.

[0057] In a specific implementation, continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 The first part 211 may be provided with a connecting structure 214 for connecting the storage device 3. Specifically, the first part 211 may protrude in a direction away from the second wall 23 to form the connecting structure 214, and the side wall 31 of the storage device 3 may be provided with a matching hanging ear 32. For example, the hanging ear 32 may be provided in the third part 311.

[0058] During installation, after placing the storage device 3 into the space enclosed by the door sill 2 and the bottom wall 113, move the storage device 3 downwards until the hanging ear 32 is hung on the connecting structure 214, thus completing the connection between the storage device 3 and the door 11.

[0059] In one specific implementation, the projection of the first wall 21 along the width direction (e.g., the x-direction) of the door 11 can cover at least one-third of the side wall 31 of the storage device 3. For example, the projection of the first wall 21 along the x-direction can cover about half of the side wall 31. This ensures that the height of the door pier 2 is large enough to guarantee cooling performance.

[0060] In such Figures 1 to 5 In the scenario where the side wall 31 of the storage device 3 has a first boundary line 313, the second boundary line 213 is aligned with the first boundary line 313, and the second portion 212 extending outward from the second boundary line 213 terminates at approximately halfway point of the side wall 31 of the storage device 3. Therefore, the door sill 2 extends a considerable distance beyond the first boundary line 313, preventing the door sill 2 from being too low and causing condensation on the door seal, thus ensuring cooling performance.

[0061] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of door 11' of a refrigeration appliance according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0062] The refrigeration appliance shown in this embodiment is similar to the one described above. Figures 1 to 5 The common features of the refrigeration appliances 1 shown include the inclusion of the same storage device 3. This description primarily focuses on the second embodiment and the one described above. Figures 1 to 5 The differences of the first embodiment shown will be explained.

[0063] Specifically, refer to Figures 6 to 9 The refrigeration appliance shown in this embodiment is similar to the one described above. Figures 1 to 5 The main differences in the refrigeration appliance 1 shown are: the refrigeration appliance includes a door 11', and the first wall 21' of the door sill 2' of the door 11' is a complete plane. That is to say, the first wall 21' is equivalent to only including the aforementioned... Figures 1 to 5 The first portion 211 of the first wall 21 shown in the first embodiment.

[0064] Further, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The end wall 22 of the dam 2' is flush with the first boundary line 313.

[0065] In this embodiment, a decorative panel, such as a wooden board, may also be provided on the front side of the front panel of the door 11', and the corresponding door 11' may also be called a wooden board door. In this example, the front panel may be a metal plate.

[0066] In some embodiments, the door thicknesses of doors 11 and 11' can be kept consistent, wherein the door thickness is the distance from the front surface of the front panel to the end of the frame 111 facing the inner liner 112. Furthermore, along the y-direction, the thickness of the insulation space of doors 11 and 11' can also be kept consistent. Furthermore, door sills 2 and 2' also need to maintain a consistent height due to cooling requirements, wherein the height of door sill 2 (or door sill 2') is the distance from the end wall 22 to the end of the frame 111 facing the inner liner 112. Under the limitation of the fixed total depth of the refrigeration appliance 1 shown in the first embodiment and the refrigeration appliance described in this embodiment, the door thickness and insulation space thickness of door 11' are first determined, and then the door thickness and insulation space thickness of door 11 are made consistent with those of door 11'. Since door 11' has an additional decorative panel compared to door 11, the inner depth of the inner liner 112 of door 11' is less than the inner depth of the inner liner 112 of door 11. The inner depth of the inner liner 112 is the distance from the end wall 22 to the bottom wall 113.

[0067] Furthermore, the side wall 31 of the storage device 3 can be designed to match the door sill 2' of the door 11'. For example, ensure that the first boundary line 313 and the end wall 22 of the door sill 2' are flush.

[0068] According to traditional design principles, the storage device 3 designed to work with door 11' cannot be used with door 11 because the first boundary line 313 cannot be flush with the end wall 22 of door embankment 2.

[0069] By adopting the solution of the first embodiment described above, for doors 11 with a relatively deep inner side of the inner liner 112, a storage device 3 that is universally compatible with the door 11' design can be realized, avoiding the repeated development of the storage device 3. Furthermore, there is no need to reduce the height of the door sill 2 on the door 11, ensuring the cooling performance of the door 11 and preventing condensation on the door seal due to an excessively low door sill 2. Further, by designing the first wall 21 into two parts with a second boundary line 213, and aligning the second boundary line 213 with the first boundary line 313, a perfect correspondence is formed. After segmentation, the width of the door sill 2 along the x-direction becomes narrower, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing visual effect.

[0070] In some embodiments, the distance between the connecting structure 214 disposed on the door 11' and the bottom wall 113 can be equal to the distance between the connecting structure 214 disposed on the door 11 and the bottom wall 113. In other words, comparison Figure 3 and Figure 7 The bottom outline of the inner liner 112 of the door 11 can be consistent with the bottom outline of the inner liner 112 of the door 11 to ensure that the storage device 3 can be used on both types of doors.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first wall 21' may extend substantially parallel to the y-direction. Furthermore, there may be a smooth transition between the first wall 21' and the bottom wall 113.

[0072] In some embodiments, the included angle between the first wall 21' and the second wall 23 may be approximately 1°.

[0073] In some embodiments, the distance L between the first wall 21' and the second wall 23 is substantially consistent along the y-direction.

[0074] Although specific embodiments have been described above, these embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure, even when only a single embodiment is described with respect to a particular feature.
