Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of compressors, and in particular to a refrigerator door opening device and a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] After decades of development, refrigerators primarily open doors manually with the door rotating around its hinges. While technological advancements have led to mainstream door opening options including power-assisted and fully electric door opening, the core structure has remained largely unchanged. Existing double-door refrigerators typically utilize a tilting beam structure. However, this beam creates an unnecessary gap between the two doors, reducing the refrigerator's sealing performance, allowing cold air to leak inside and reducing cooling efficiency.

[0003] Since double-door refrigerators in the prior art usually use a flip beam structure, but the presence of the flip beam causes an unnecessary gap between the two doors, which leads to reduced sealing performance of the refrigerator and reduced refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerator and other technical problems, the present invention studies and designs a refrigerator door opening device and a refrigerator.

[0061] The present invention provides a first sliding rail on the first crossbeam, a second clamping piece on the second door body, and the position of the second clamping piece is set close to or located on the third side end, the third side end is the end face or end portion of the second door body opposite to the first door body, and the fourth side end can be pushed to move in the direction away from the box body during the opening of the second door body, so that when the two door bodies are closed, the two opposite ends can move along the sliding rail or approximately along the direction of the sliding rail, and the two opposite ends are pushed out. Compared with the existing flip beam door body structure, the two doors are closed by rotating the hinge shaft. The present invention can realize the closing of the two door bodies without setting a flip beam. Its movement mode and movement path can make the third side end and the first door body close together when the door body is closed, thereby effectively reducing the gap between the two doors of the double-door refrigerator when they are closed, effectively reducing leakage, improving the sealing performance of the refrigerator, and improving the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerator.

[0062] In some embodiments, a second slide rail 52 is provided on the second crossbeam 42, and a third clip (not shown) is provided on the surface of the first door body 2 opposite to the second crossbeam 42. The third clip (not shown) can be inserted into the second slide rail 52 and slide.

[0063] The third clamping member (not shown) is disposed at a position relative to the second side end 22 and close to the first side end 21 or located at the first side end 21;

[0064] During the opening process of the first door body 2 , the third clamping member (not shown) slides along the second slide rail 52 .

[0065] The present invention provides a second sliding rail on the second crossbeam, a third clip on the first door body, and the position of the third clip is set close to or located on the first side end, the first side end is the end face or end portion opposite to the first door body and the second door body, and the second side end can be pushed to move in the direction away from the box body during the opening of the first door body, so that when the two door bodies are closed, the two opposite ends can move along the sliding rail or approximately along the direction of the sliding rail, and the two opposite ends are pushed out. Compared with the existing flip beam door body structure, the two doors are closed by rotating the hinge shaft. The present invention can realize the closing of the two door bodies without setting a flip beam. Its movement mode and movement path can make the first side end and the second door body close together when the door bodies are closed, thereby effectively reducing the gap between the two doors of the double-door refrigerator when they are closed, effectively reducing leakage, improving the sealing performance of the refrigerator, and improving the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerator. Moreover, the present invention cooperates with the first slide rail of the upper cross beam and the first clamping piece, and also cooperates with the second slide rail on the lower cross beam and the third clamping piece, thereby enhancing the effect of the clamping and limiting movement of the first door body, so as to keep the first side end of the first door body moving within the range of movement limited by the two slide rails of the upper and lower cross beams, so that the outer end (second side end) of the first door body is pushed out, which can further enhance the close fit between the first side end and the second door body when the first door body is closed, thereby improving the sealing.

[0066] In some embodiments, a fourth clamping member (not shown) is provided on the surface of the second door body 3 opposite to the second crossbeam 42, and the fourth clamping member (not shown) can also be clamped into the second slide rail 52 and slide;

[0067] The fourth clamping member (not shown) is disposed at a position relative to the fourth side end 32 and close to the third side end 31 or located at the third side end 31;

[0068] During the opening process of the second door body 3 , the fourth clamping member (not shown) slides along the second slide rail 52 .

[0069] The present invention provides a second sliding rail on the second crossbeam and a fourth clamping piece on the second door body, and the position of the fourth clamping piece is set close to or located on the third side end, the third side end is the end face or end portion of the second door body opposite to the first door body, and the fourth side end can be pushed to move in the direction away from the box body during the opening of the second door body, so that when the two door bodies are closed, the two opposite ends can move along the sliding rail or approximately along the direction of the sliding rail, and the two opposite ends are pushed out. Compared with the existing flip beam door body structure, the two doors are closed by rotating the hinge shaft. The present invention can realize the closing of the two door bodies without setting a flip beam. Its movement mode and movement path can make the first side end and the second door body close together when the door bodies are closed, thereby effectively reducing the gap between the two doors of the double-door refrigerator when they are closed, effectively reducing leakage, improving the sealing performance of the refrigerator, and improving the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerator. Moreover, the present invention cooperates with the first slide rail and the second clip on the upper beam, and also cooperates with the second slide rail and the fourth clip on the lower beam, thereby enhancing the effect of the clamping and limiting movement of the second door body, so as to keep the third side end of the second door body moving within the range of movement limited by the two slide rails of the upper and lower beams, so that the outer end (fourth side end) of the second door body is pushed out, which can further enhance the close fit between the third side end and the first door body when the second door body is closed, thereby improving the sealing.

[0070] In some embodiments, a sealing protrusion 23 is provided on the first side end 21 of the first door body 2, and a sealing groove 33 is provided on the third side end 31 of the second door body 3. When the first door body 2 and the second door body 3 are closed, the sealing protrusion 23 can be snapped into the sealing groove 33.

[0071] In some embodiments, the cabinet 1 further includes a first inner side surface and a second inner side surface. When the first door body 2 and the second door body 3 are closed, the first inner side surface is opposite to the second side end 22 of the first door body 2, and the second inner side surface is opposite to the fourth side end 32 of the second door body 3. A first seal 12 is further provided on the first inner side surface, and a second seal 13 is further provided on the second inner side surface.

The present invention can respectively perform a sealing effect with the outer side end (second side end) of the first door body and the outer side end (fourth side end) of the second door body through the first seal and the second seal on one side. When the two door bodies are closed, the seals on the left and right sides can improve the sealing fit with the door bodies and improve the sealing performance. The top seal can improve the sealing between the tops of the two door bodies, further improving the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator.

[0072] In some embodiments, a first handle or hand pull 14 is further provided on the second side end 22 of the first door body 2, and a second handle or hand pull 15 is further provided on the fourth side end 32 of the second door body 3. In the present disclosure, the outer end of the first door body can be operated by the first handle or hand pull, giving the first door body an initial driving force, after which the first door body is driven to spring open by the first cylinder assembly; and the outer end of the second door body can be operated by the second handle or hand pull, giving the second door body an initial driving force, after which the second door body is driven to spring open by the second cylinder assembly.

[0073] In some embodiments, a first connecting rod 61 and a first rotating shaft 71 are further included, wherein one end of the first connecting rod 61 is connected to the first door body 2 and the other end is connected to the first rotating shaft 71, the first axial end of the first rotating shaft 71 is connected to the first crossbeam 41, and the second axial end of the first rotating shaft 71 is connected to the second crossbeam 42, and the first connecting rod 61 can be driven by the rotation of the first rotating shaft 71 to move and thereby drive the first door body 2 to move. The present disclosure can transmit the driving force through the first connecting rod, and the first rotating shaft drives the first connecting rod to move by rotating and thereby pushes the first door body to move, and its movement path is that the first side end slides along the first slide rail, while the other parts generate translational + rotational movement, and the end of the first connecting rod connected to the first door body rotates around the first rotating shaft, and the first connecting rod is equivalent to a radius rod.

[0074] In some embodiments, a first mounting hole 43 is provided on the first crossbeam 41, and a second mounting hole 44 is provided on the second crossbeam 42. The first axial end of the first rotating shaft 71 can be inserted into the first mounting hole 43, and the second axial end can be inserted into the second mounting hole 44. The present disclosure also uses the first mounting hole on the first crossbeam and the second mounting hole on the second crossbeam to accommodate the insertion and position limitation of both ends of the first rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft is mainly supported by the second mounting hole at the lower end, while the upper end of the first rotating shaft passes through the first mounting hole and engages with the first connecting member (latch pin).

[0075] In some embodiments, a first cylinder assembly 8 is further included, which can drive the first rotating shaft 71 to rotate. The present disclosure can provide a driving force to drive the first rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the first connecting rod to move the first door to open the refrigerator.

[0076] In some embodiments, a first connecting member 10 is further included, the first connecting member 10 is connected to the first rotating shaft 71, one end of the first cylinder assembly 8 is connected to the first connecting member 10, and the other end is fixed to the box body 1, and the driving force of the first cylinder assembly 8 is transmitted to the first rotating shaft 71 through the first connecting member 10. The first connecting member is preferably a latch. The present disclosure can connect with the first cylinder assembly through the setting of the first connecting member to convert the driving force of the first cylinder assembly into the rotation of the first connecting member, thereby driving the rotation of the first rotating shaft, and finally driving the rotation of the first connecting rod, driving the first door body to move to open or close the refrigerator.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first cylinder assembly 8 includes a first cylinder body 81, a first push rod 82, and a first mounting pin 83. The first cylinder body 81 is fixed to the housing 1 via the first mounting pin 83. One end of the first push rod 82 extends into the first cylinder body 81, and the other end is connected to the first connector 10. Through the arrangement of the first cylinder assembly, the first rotating shaft, and the first connecting rod, the second side end of the first door body can be effectively driven to move. When the door body is opened, the second side end of the first door body is driven to move in a direction away from the housing, while the first side end is located between the first and second cross beams, achieving a tight closure effect. When opened, the door body does not have a large rotation radius as that of existing refrigerator doors, which would cause interference with the human body when the space is small.

[0078] In some embodiments, a first mounting base 84 is further included, and the first mounting base 84 is located between the first cylinder 81 and the cabinet 1. The first mounting pin 83 passes through the first mounting base 84 and also fixes the first mounting base 84 to the cabinet 1. The present disclosure can fix one end of the first cylinder to the cabinet of the refrigerator by providing the first mounting base, so that the components provided on the cabinet drive the first door to move relative to the first door.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the first door 2 and the second door 3 are closed, the axes of the first cylinder 81, the first push rod 82, the first connecting member 10, and the first rotating shaft 71 are all located on the same straight line. At this time, the first cylinder assembly 8 and the first rotating shaft 71 are at a dead center position. This arrangement ensures that when the first door is closed, the pushing direction of the first cylinder is toward the axis of the first rotating shaft, and does not drive the first connecting member to rotate, thereby not driving the first rotating shaft to rotate, ensuring a stable state in the closed state without causing the first door to move.

[0080] In some embodiments, one end of the first connecting rod 61 is connected to the surface of the first door body 2 facing the first crossbeam 41. A first clearance groove 47 is provided on the surface of the first crossbeam 41 facing the first door body 2. The first clearance groove 47 can accommodate at least a portion of the structure of the first connecting rod 61. The present disclosure also provides a first clearance groove provided on the first crossbeam toward the first connecting rod, so that at least a portion of the structure of the first connecting rod can be accommodated in the first clearance groove when the first door body is closed, thereby ensuring that the first door body can fit more tightly with the box body, and are combined together to improve the sealing performance.

[0081] In some embodiments, a second connecting rod 62 and a second rotating shaft 72 are further included, wherein one end of the second connecting rod 62 is connected to the second door body 3 and the other end is connected to the second rotating shaft 72, the third axial end of the second rotating shaft 72 is connected to the first crossbeam 41, and the fourth axial end of the second rotating shaft 72 is connected to the second crossbeam 42. The second connecting rod 62 can be driven by the rotation of the second rotating shaft 72 to move and thereby drive the second door body 3 to move. The present disclosure can transmit the driving force through the second connecting rod, and the second rotating shaft drives the second connecting rod to move by rotating, thereby pushing the second door body to move. Its movement path is that the third side end slides along the first slide rail, while the other parts produce translational + rotational movement, and the end of the second connecting rod connected to the second door body rotates around the second rotating shaft. The second connecting rod is equivalent to a radius rod.

[0082] In some embodiments, a third mounting hole 45 is provided on the first crossbeam 41, and a fourth mounting hole 46 is provided on the second crossbeam 42. The third axial end of the second rotating shaft 72 can be inserted into the third mounting hole 45, and the fourth axial end can be inserted into the fourth mounting hole 46. The present disclosure also uses the third mounting hole on the second crossbeam and the fourth mounting hole on the second crossbeam to accommodate the insertion and position limitation of both ends of the second rotating shaft. The second rotating shaft is mainly supported by the fourth mounting hole at the lower end, while the upper end of the second rotating shaft passes through the third mounting hole and engages with the second connecting member (latch).

[0083] In some embodiments, a second cylinder assembly 9 is further included, which can drive the second rotating shaft 72 to rotate. The present disclosure can provide a driving force to drive the second rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the second connecting rod to move the second door to open the refrigerator.

[0084] In some embodiments, a second connecting member 11 is further included, and the second connecting member 11 is connected to the second rotating shaft 72. One end of the second cylinder assembly 9 is connected to the second connecting member 11, and the other end is fixed to the box body 1. The driving force of the second cylinder assembly 9 is transmitted to the second rotating shaft 72 through the second connecting member 11. The second connecting member is preferably a latch. The present disclosure can connect with the second cylinder assembly through the provision of the second connecting member to convert the driving force of the second cylinder assembly into the rotation of the second connecting member, thereby driving the rotation of the second rotating shaft, and finally driving the rotation of the second connecting rod, thereby driving the second door body to open or close the refrigerator.

[0085] In some embodiments, the second cylinder assembly 9 includes a second cylinder body 91, a second push rod 92, and a second mounting pin 93. The second cylinder body 91 is fixed to the housing 1 via the second mounting pin 93. One end of the second push rod 92 extends into the second cylinder body 91, and the other end is connected to the second connecting member 11. Through the arrangement of the second cylinder assembly, the second rotating shaft, and the second connecting rod, the fourth side end of the second door body can be effectively driven to move. When the door body is opened, the fourth side end of the second door body is driven to move in a direction away from the housing, while the third side end is located between the first and second cross beams, achieving a tight closure effect. When opened, the door body does not have the large rotation radius of existing refrigerator doors, which may cause interference with the human body when the space is small.

[0086] In some embodiments, a second mounting base 94 is further included, and the second mounting base 94 is located between the second cylinder 91 and the cabinet 1. The second mounting pin 93 passes through the second mounting base 94 and also fixes the second mounting base 94 to the cabinet 1. The present disclosure can fix one end of the second cylinder to the cabinet of the refrigerator by providing the second mounting base, thereby achieving the effect of the component provided on the cabinet driving the second door to move relative to it.

[0087] In some embodiments, when the first door 2 and the second door 3 are closed, the axes of the second cylinder 91, the second push rod 92, the second connecting member 11, and the second rotating shaft 72 are all located on the same straight line. At this time, the second cylinder assembly 9 and the second rotating shaft 72 are at a dead center position. This arrangement ensures that when the second door is closed, the pushing direction of the second cylinder is toward the axis of the second rotating shaft, and does not drive the second connecting member to rotate, thereby not driving the second rotating shaft to rotate, ensuring a stable state in the closed state without causing the second door to move.

[0088] In some embodiments, one end of the second connecting rod 62 is connected to the surface of the second door body 3 facing the first crossbeam 41. A second clearance groove 48 is provided on the surface of the first crossbeam 41 facing the second door body 3. The second clearance groove 48 can accommodate at least a portion of the structure of the second connecting rod 62. The present disclosure also provides a second clearance groove provided on the first crossbeam toward the second connecting rod, so that at least a portion of the structure of the second connecting rod can be accommodated in the second clearance groove when the second door body is closed, thereby ensuring that the second door body can fit more tightly with the box body, combining them together and improving the sealing performance.

[0089] The present disclosure also provides a refrigerator, which includes the refrigerator door opening device of any of the preceding items.

[0090] The present invention realizes the opening of the refrigerator door from both sides through the rotation of the rotating shafts on both sides of the refrigerator and the connecting rod mechanism. At the same time, when the door is closed, the top cylinder and the rotating shaft are in the dead point position and the door is locked. The sealing of the refrigerator is also improved by arranging seals on the movable guide rails of the box body and the door body.

[0091] When the user opens the door, they use any part of their body to move the left and right outer handles, giving the door an initial rotational velocity V. The cylinder assembly then drives the shaft mechanism to continue rotating until the door opens. This process requires no additional external force to open the door. In addition to using a cylinder at the top of the housing, this embodiment also allows for gear meshing to open and close the door.

[0092] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure shall be included within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principles of the present disclosure, and such improvements and modifications shall also be considered within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
