[0045] Example

[0046] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a household appliance door assembly includes a first panel, a second panel, a decorative strip 100 and a middle pressing member 200.

[0047] The first panel and the second panel are both glass panels, that is, the first panel is the first glass panel 300 , and the second panel is the second glass panel 400 .

[0048] The middle pressing member 200 includes a first mounting portion 210 for mounting the decorative strip 100 . The first glass panel 300 and the first glass panel 400 are bonded to the middle pressing member 200 , and the first mounting portion 210 is located between the bonded first glass panel 300 and the second glass panel 400 .

[0049] After the decorative strip 100 is installed on the first installation portion 210, it forms a first contact area 1110 with the first glass panel 300 and a second contact area 1120 with the second glass panel 400 with the middle pressing member 200. The first contact area 1110 contacts the lower end surface of the first glass panel 300, and the second contact area 1120 contacts the upper end surface of the second glass panel 400. Figure 3 The first contact area 1110 contacts the lower end of the first glass panel 300 , and the second contact area 1120 contacts the upper end of the second glass panel 400 .

[0050] The decorative strip 100 includes an integrally formed first stopper 140 , a second stopper 150 , a decorative strip body 110 , and a decorative strip installation portion. The decorative strip installation portion is integrally formed on a side of the decorative strip body 110 away from the first stopper 140 and the second stopper 150 .

[0051] The first limiting portion 140 and the decorative strip body 110 form a first end surface 111 that abuts the first glass panel 300. Specifically, the side surface of the first limiting portion 140 facing the decorative strip mounting portion and the upper surface of the decorative strip body 110 form the first end surface 111 that abuts the first glass panel 300. Preferably, the cross section of the first end surface 111 is L-shaped. The L-shaped first end surface 111 and the middle pressing member 200 form a first abutting area 1110 that abuts the first glass panel 300. The first abutting area 1110 abuts the lower end of the first glass panel 300. Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 .

[0052] The second limiting portion 150 and the decorative strip body 110 form a second end surface 112 that abuts the second glass panel 400. Specifically, the side surface of the second limiting portion 150 facing the decorative strip mounting portion forms the second end surface 112 with the lower surface of the decorative strip body 110 that abuts the second glass panel 400. Preferably, the cross section of the second end surface 112 is L-shaped. The L-shaped second end surface 112 and the middle pressing member 200 form a second abutting area 1120 that abuts the second glass panel 400. The second abutting area 1120 abuts the upper end of the second glass panel 400. Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 .

[0053] The decorative strip 100 preferably has a transition end surface 114 located between the first stopper 140 and the second stopper 150. Preferably, the transition end surface 114 is curved, with a cross-section consisting of three arc segments. Once the decorative strip body 110 is installed between the first and second glass panels 300, 400, the transition end surface 114 allows for a smooth transition between the first and second glass panels 300, 400, resulting in a streamlined, aesthetically pleasing door panel.

[0054] The trim strip mounting portion includes a first trim strip mounting portion 120 and a second trim strip mounting portion 130. Preferably, the first and second trim strip mounting portions 120, 130 are integrally formed with the trim strip body 110. The first and second trim strip mounting portions 120, 130 are disposed opposite each other. The first and second trim strip mounting portions 120, 130 serve as snap-fit components, and the entire trim strip 100 is snap-fitted to the first mounting portion of the middle pressing member 200 via these components.

[0055] The first trim strip mounting portion 120 includes a first transition portion 121 and a first bent portion 122 . The first transition portion 121 and the first bent portion 122 are integrally formed. It can be understood that the first transition portion 121 connects the trim strip body 110 and the first bent portion 122 .

[0056] The second trim strip mounting portion 130 includes a second transition portion 131 and a second bent portion 132 , and the second transition portion 131 and the second bent portion 132 are integrally formed. It can be understood that the second transition portion 131 connects the trim strip body 110 and the second bent portion 132 .

[0057] The first bending portion 122 and the second bending portion 132 are both V-shaped. The length of the second bending portion 132 is greater than that of the first bending portion 122 .

[0058] Specifically, the first bent portion 122 includes a first bent section and a second bent section, with an angle formed between them. This means that the first bent section and the second bent section form a V-shaped first bent portion 122. When the trim structure 100 is installed on other components of the appliance door, the V-shaped first bent portion 122 engages with the first mounting portion of the middle pressing member 200, acting as a position limiter.

[0059] The second bent portion 132 includes a third bent section and a fourth bent section, which are angled with each other, forming a V-shaped second bent portion 132. When the trim structure 100 is mounted on other components of the appliance door, the V-shaped second bent portion 132 engages with the first mounting portion of the middle pressing member 200, acting as a retaining force.

[0060] Specifically, the length of the fourth bend section is greater than that of the second bend section. Thus, when the trim structure 100 is installed, the second trim installation portion 130 is inserted into the required installation position before the first trim installation portion 120, and the first trim installation portion 120 and the second trim installation portion 130 do not interfere with each other.

[0062] Preferably, the decorative strip 100 is made of a flexible material with a certain degree of elastic deformation. After the first and second glass panels 300 and 400 are bonded together, the decorative strip 100 can be pressed into the gap between the first and second glass panels 300 and 400 to strengthen the mounting strength of the first and second glass panels 300 and 400.

[0063] The middle pressing member 200 includes a first mounting portion 210 and a second mounting portion for mounting the decorative strip 100 .

[0064] The first mounting portion 210 is provided with a mounting groove 2110 for mounting the decorative strip structure 100. A limiting member is provided in the mounting groove 2110 to prevent the decorative strip structure 100 from being removed from the mounting groove. The limiting member is a limiting protrusion.

[0065] Specifically, the first mounting portion 210 includes an upper mounting plate 211, a lower mounting plate 212, and a first vertical mounting plate 213 perpendicular to the lower mounting plate 212. The upper mounting plate 211 and the lower mounting plate 212 are parallel to each other, forming the upper and lower portions of the mounting groove 2110. It can be understood that the upper mounting plate 211 and the lower mounting plate 212 are parallel to each other, forming the upper and lower surfaces of the mounting groove 2110.

[0066] An upper limit protrusion 2111 is provided on one side of the upper mounting plate 211 facing the lower mounting plate 212, and a lower limit protrusion 2121 is provided on one side of the lower mounting plate 212 facing the upper mounting plate 211. The upper limit protrusion 2111 and the lower limit protrusion 2121 are arranged opposite to each other. Figure 5 The trim strip 100 is installed in the installation groove 2110 , and the upper limit protrusion 2111 and the lower limit protrusion 2121 respectively cause the second trim strip installation portion 130 and the first trim strip installation portion 120 to be disengaged from the installation groove 2110 .

[0067] refer to Figure 3 The decorative strip 100 has a first end surface 111 that abuts the first glass panel 300 , and the decorative strip 200 is installed in the installation groove 2110 in the middle pressing member 200 , and a first abutting area 1110 that abuts the first glass panel 300 is formed between the first end surface 111 and the upper mounting plate 211 .

[0068] The decorative strip 100 has a second end surface 112 that abuts the second glass panel 400. The decorative strip 100 is installed in the mounting groove 2110 of the middle pressing member 200. A second abutting region 1120 abutting the second glass panel 400 is formed between the second end surface 112 and the lower mounting plate 212. The first abutting region 1110 abuts the lower end of the first glass panel 300, and the second abutting region 1120 abuts the upper end of the second glass panel 400.

[0069] It can be understood that the decorative strip 100 is installed in the installation groove 2110 of the first installation portion 210 . After installation, the first end surface 111 of the decorative strip 100 can abut the first glass panel 300 , and the second end surface 112 of the decorative strip 100 can abut the second glass panel 400 .

[0070] Specifically, the first vertical mounting plate 213 is perpendicular to the lower mounting plate 212, and the lower mounting plate 212 is parallel to the second glass panel 400, and acts as a limiter for the second glass panel 400 after installation. The upper mounting plate 211 has a certain thickness, and the sides of the upper mounting plate 211 and the first vertical mounting plate 213 facing the mounting groove 2110 are flush. Figure 3 and Figure 8 After the decorative strip 100 is installed in the mounting groove 2110 of the middle pressing member 200, the first abutting area 1110 is located between the first end surface 111 of the decorative strip 100 and the upper mounting plate 211. The decorative strip 100 and the upper mounting plate 211 limit the first glass panel 300 in Figure 3 The second abutment area 1120 is located between the second end surface 112 of the decorative strip 100 and the lower mounting plate 212. The decorative strip 100, the lower mounting plate 212 and the first vertical mounting plate 213 limit the second glass panel 400 in the horizontal direction. Figure 3 Lateral displacement occurs.

[0071] Because the first and second glass panels 300 and 400 are glass panels, they require precise installation and sufficient strength. Therefore, after the decorative strip 100 and the middle pressing member 200 of the appliance door are installed, they can limit the displacement of the first and second glass panels 300 and 400, eliminating the need to install a single glass panel in the prior art and resolving the issue of difficult-to-control installation precision of a single glass panel.

[0072] Preferably, a receiving groove 2131 is provided on the first vertical mounting plate 213 , and the receiving groove 2131 is used to receive an adhesive or bonding agent for mounting the second glass panel 400 .

[0073] Preferably, the first mounting portion 210 further includes a first side mounting plate 214 and a second side mounting plate 215 perpendicular to the upper mounting plate 211 and the lower mounting plate 212.

[0075] The second mounting portion is provided with a first abutting groove 2210 for mounting the display screen bracket, and a first fixing portion 223 and a third limiting portion 222 for mounting the door panel body 500 .

[0076] The second mounting portion includes a second vertical mounting plate 221, with a first abutment groove 2210 and a third stopper 222 located on either side of the second vertical mounting plate 221. The first abutment groove 2210 is located on the side of the second vertical mounting plate 221 facing the decorative strip 100, and the third stopper 222 is located on the side of the second vertical mounting plate 221 facing away from the decorative strip 100.

[0077] The plane on which the second vertical mounting plate 221 lies is parallel to the plane on which the first vertical mounting plate 213 lies, and both are perpendicular to the first glass panel 300 and the second glass panel 400. The second vertical mounting plate 221 is perpendicular to the upper mounting plate 211, and a reinforcing rib is provided between the second vertical mounting plate 221 and the upper mounting plate 211, connecting the second vertical mounting plate 221 and the upper mounting plate 211. It can be understood that the second vertical mounting plate 221 is formed by bending the end of the upper mounting plate 211 upward, with the end of the upper mounting plate 211 being the end of the upper mounting plate 211 away from the decorative strip 100 (i.e., away from the opening of the mounting slot 2110).

[0078] The first abutment groove 2210 is located on the side of the second vertical mounting plate 221 facing the decorative strip 100, and the third limiting portion 222 is located on the side of the second vertical mounting plate 221 facing away from the decorative strip 100.

[0082] The fixing portion 223 for mounting the door panel body 500 is formed by the second vertical mounting plate 221 protruding along its length direction, and a fixing hole 2230 is defined in the fixing portion 223 .

[0083] When installing the door panel body 500, insert the door panel body 500 into the notch 2220 on the third limiting portion 222. The third limiting portion 222 and the second vertical mounting plate 221 limit the door panel body 500 along the Figure 8 Then the door panel body 500 is screwed and fixed to the fixing portion 223 to limit the door panel body 500 from moving along the Figure 8 Middle longitudinal displacement.

[0084] Furthermore, the second vertical mounting plate 221 is formed with a protruding extrusion edge connector 224, which mounts the extrusion strip. A side trim connector 225 is provided on the second vertical mounting plate 221, facing the notch of the mounting groove 2110. That is, the side trim connector 225 and the first abutment groove 2210 are located on the same side of the second vertical mounting plate 221. The side trim is fixedly mounted to the side trim connector 225.

[0085] During installation of a household appliance door assembly provided by the present invention, the door panel body 500 is first inserted into the notch 2220 in the second mounting portion of the middle pressing member 200, and the door panel body 500 is screwed and fixed to the fixing portion 223. A display screen bracket (not shown) is inserted into the first abutment groove 2210, and the extrusion strip is installed to complete the assembly of the door frame. The first glass panel 300 and the second glass panel 400 are then affixed to the frame. The lower end of the first glass panel 300 and the upper end of the second glass panel 400 are bonded to the middle pressing member 200. During bonding, the middle pressing member 200 serves as a bonding calibration. After bonding, the first mounting portion is located between the bonded first and second glass panels 300 and 400. Subsequently, the mounting portion of the decorative strip 100 is pressed into the mounting groove 2110 of the middle pressing member 200. At this point, the first end surface 111 of the decorative strip 100 can abut the lower end surface of the first glass panel 300, which is located within a first abutting area 1110 formed by the decorative strip 100 and the middle pressing member 200. The second end surface 112 of the decorative strip 100 can abut the upper end surface of the second glass panel 400, which is located within a second abutting area 1120 formed by the decorative strip 100 and the middle pressing member 200. The decorative strip 100 fills the gap between the first and second glass panels 300, 400. Because the middle pressing member 200 and the decorative strip 100 are fixed in position, if the alignment of the first and second glass panels 300, 400 is not precise, the decorative strip 100 can be pressed between the first and second glass panels 300, 400 to recalibrate the bonded first and second glass panels 300, 400. Thus, two panels, namely the first glass panel 300 and the second glass panel 400, can replace the whole panel in the prior art, thereby solving the problem that the whole panel is difficult to align during installation.

[0086] Preferably, the decorative strip 100 is made of a light-transmitting, flexible material, and a light source is mounted on the middle pressing member 200. Specifically, the decorative strip 100 is made of a light-transmitting, flexible material with a certain degree of elastic deformation, allowing it to be pressed into the gap between the first and second glass panels 300, 400, after they are installed. The light source is mounted on the middle pressing member 200 and can emit light through the decorative strip 100.

[0087] The household appliance door assembly provided by the present invention replaces the entire glass panel with a first glass panel 300 and a second glass panel 400, and at the same time adds a decorative strip 100 and a middle pressing member 200 for installing the first glass panel 300 and the second glass panel 400, and the middle pressing member located between the first panel 300 and the second glass panel 400 plays a calibration role to ensure the installation accuracy of the first glass panel 300 and the second glass panel 400. After the decorative strip 100 is installed on the first installation portion 210 of the middle pressing member 200, the decorative strip 100 and the middle pressing member 200 form a first abutting area 1110 abutting the first glass panel 300 and a second abutting area 1120 abutting the second glass panel 400. The structure is exquisite. The decorative strip 100 fills the gap between the first glass panel 300 and the second glass panel 400, and calibrates and adjusts the positions of the first glass panel 300 and the second glass panel 400, thereby ensuring the installation strength of the first glass panel 300 and the second glass panel 400; the second installation portion on which the first glass panel 300, the second glass panel 400, the display screen bracket and the door panel body 500 are installed is avoided from being directly installed on the lower end cover in the door body, thereby reducing the size of the display screen bracket and the door panel body 500, ensuring the installation accuracy of the display screen bracket and the door panel body 500, and also improving the strength of the display screen.

[0088] refer to Figure 1-2 The present invention also provides a refrigerator door body, including the household appliance door body assembly as described above, and also including a display screen bracket (not shown in the figure) and a door panel body 500, and the display screen bracket and the door panel body 500 are installed on the middle pressing member 200.
