[0034] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional changes made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] In the various drawings of the present invention, for the sake of convenience, some sizes of structures or parts are exaggerated relative to other structures or parts, and thus, only the basic structure of the subject matter of the present invention is illustrated.

[0036] In the description of the specific embodiments of the present invention, terms such as "front", "back", "up", "down", "left", and "right" indicating directions or positional relationships are all based on the directions of the refrigeration equipment door and the refrigeration equipment relative to the user during normal use.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a refrigeration equipment door body 10, including a door shell 11 and a frame assembly 12.

[0038] The door shell 11 is a vertically arranged plate.

[0039] The frame assembly 12 is arranged on the side of the door shell 11. Depending on the specific situation, it can be arranged on the left side of the door shell 11 or on the right side of the door shell 11. For example, when the refrigeration device door body 10 is used in a double-door refrigerator, the frame assembly 12 of the left refrigeration device door body 10 is arranged on the left side of the door shell 11, and the frame assembly 12 of the right refrigeration device door body 10 is arranged on the right side of the door shell 11.

[0040] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, the frame assembly 12 includes a side frame 121, a decorative piece 123, and a fixing strip 122. The side frame 121 is the main body of the frame assembly 12 and is located behind the side of the door shell 11. The door body of the side frame 121 is partially covered by the door shell 11 and partially exposed to the door shell 11. The space between the door shell 11 and the side frame 121 is the foaming space of the refrigeration equipment door body 10 for filling with foam material. In the present invention, the inner side of the side frame 121 refers to the side facing the foaming space, and the outer side refers to the side facing away from the foaming space.

[0041] The decorative member 123 is located outside the side frame 121, and the fixing strip 122 is located inside the side frame 121. The decorative member 123 serves as a decoration, improves the appearance of the refrigeration equipment door 10, and can improve the overall strength of the frame assembly 12.

[0042] One of the fixing strip 122 and the decorative piece 123 has a connecting structure 124 that passes through the side frame 121, and the other has a matching structure that matches the connecting structure 124. The connecting structure 124 passes through the side frame 121 and matches with the matching structure to fix the decorative piece 123 and the fixing strip 122 to the side frame 121 in the horizontal direction.

[0043] A fixing strip 122 is provided on the inner side of the side frame 121, and a connecting structure 124 and a mating structure extending through the side frame 121 secure the decorative element 123 in place. This invention eliminates the need for the decorative element 123 to be assembled with the metal side frame 121, thereby simplifying the assembly of the decorative element 123. Since the side frame 121 is not directly assembled with the connecting structure 124, deformation of the side frame 121 caused by compression from the connecting structure 124 during assembly is avoided.

[0044] Furthermore, the side frame 121 is made of metal, the decorative piece 123 is made of aluminum alloy, and the fixing bar 122 is made of plastic. The fixing bar 122 made of plastic is low in cost and easy to assemble.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting structure 124 is disposed on the fixing strip 122 , and the matching structure is disposed on the decorative element 123 .

[0046] In order to enhance the decorative effect of the decorative piece 123, the decorative piece 123 is not less than three quarters of the side frame 121 in the longitudinal direction, and in order to ensure that the longer decorative piece 123 has a good fixing effect, the length of the fixing strip 122 in the longitudinal direction is not less than three quarters of the side frame 121, and the connecting structure 124 is plural and arranged longitudinally.

[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, preferably, the side frame 121 is provided with an upper positioning hole 1211 and a lower positioning hole 1212 located below the upper positioning hole 1211, and the fixing bar 122 has an upper positioning post 1221 that cooperates with the upper positioning hole 1211 and a lower positioning post 1222 that cooperates with the lower positioning hole 1212. When assembling the side frame 121 and the fixing bar 122, the fixing bar 122 is positioned by cooperating the upper positioning post 1221 with the upper positioning hole 1211 and the lower positioning post 1222 with the lower positioning hole 1212.

[0048] Combine Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 The connection structure 124 and the matching structure are further described.

[0049] The connecting structure 124 includes a support member 1241 that protrudes from the fixing bar 122, and a connecting member 1242 that extends upward from the top of the support member 1241. The decorative member 123 has a longitudinally extending mating cavity 1231 within it. A mating opening 1232 is defined on the side of the decorative member 123 that faces the side frame 121 and communicates with the mating cavity 1231. The mating opening 1232 and the mating cavity 1231 form a mating structure. When the connecting structure 124 and the mating structure mate, the connecting member 1242 is inserted into the mating cavity 1231, and the top of the support member 1241 supports the inner wall of the top of the mating opening 1232.

[0050] Preferably, the number and position of the mating openings 1232 correspond one-to-one to the connection structure 124. There is only one mating cavity 1231, and all the mating openings 1232 communicate with the mating cavity 1231, thereby simplifying the structure.

[0051] When assembling the frame assembly 12, first place the fixing strip 122 inside the side frame 121 and pass the connecting structure 124 through the side frame 121. Then, place the decorative piece 123 at the position corresponding to the connecting piece 1242 and the mating opening 1232. Then, move the decorative piece 123 and the side frame 121 laterally relative to each other until the connecting piece 1242 passes through the mating opening 1232. Finally, move the decorative piece 123 downward so that the connecting piece 1242 fits into the mating cavity 1231, completing the assembly of the decorative piece 123. Assembling the frame assembly 12 is simple and convenient, and the assembled frame assembly 12 is highly reliable, with the decorative piece 123 unlikely to fall off the side frame 121.

[0052] Preferably, a guide structure is provided between the connector 1242 and the inner wall of the mating cavity 1231. The guide structure includes a guide bar 12311 and a guide groove 12421 that cooperates with the guide bar 12311. Both the guide bar 12311 and the guide groove 12421 extend longitudinally. During assembly of the frame assembly 12, the mating positioning of the guide groove 12421 and the guide bar 12311, and the longitudinal movement of the guiding decorative member 123 relative to the side frame 121 and the fixing bar 122, ensure that the connector 1242 accurately mates with the mating cavity 1231. Specifically, the guide groove 12421 is provided on the connector 1242, and the guide bar 12311 is provided on the inner wall of the mating cavity 1231.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, the side frame 121 is provided with a window 1213 through which the connecting structure 124 passes. The longitudinal lengths of the mating opening 1232 and the window 1213 are both greater than the longitudinal length of the connecting structure 124, thereby facilitating the passage of the connecting structure 124 through the window 1213 and the mating opening 1232. Furthermore, because the longitudinal lengths of the side frame 121, the fixing strip 122, and the decorative member 123 are all relatively large, precision control is difficult. If there is a certain deviation in the position of the connecting structure 124 relative to the window 1213 and the mating opening 1232, the larger window 1213 and mating opening 1232 ensure that the connecting structure 124 can pass through the window 1213 and the mating opening 1232.

[0054] The side frame 121 includes a side panel 1215 located to the side of the door shell 11 and a front panel 1214 connected to the front side of the side panel 1215 and located behind the door shell 11. The window 1213 is provided on the front panel 1214. The fixing bar 122 includes a first fitting surface 1223 that fits against the inner side of the side panel 1215 and a second fitting surface 1224 that fits against the inner side of the front panel 1214. When the connecting structure 124 is assembled with the assembly structure, the first fitting surface 1223 of the fixing bar 122 abuts against the inner side of the side panel 1215, and the second fitting surface 1224 abuts against the inner side of the front panel 1214, thereby improving the stability of the fixing bar 122.

[0055] Furthermore, both the first and second fitting surfaces 1223 and 1224 have inwardly recessed anti-overflow grooves 1225. When the refrigeration appliance door 10 is foaming, the anti-overflow grooves 1225 can receive foam material that overflows from between the fixing strip 122 and the side frame 121, thereby preventing the foam material from overflowing from the gap between the fixing strip 122 and the side frame 121, and effectively preventing the foam material from overflowing from the window 1213 onto the surface of the refrigeration appliance door 10.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the refrigeration appliance door body 10 further includes a decorative strip assembly 13 disposed at the bottom of the door shell 11. The inner side surface of the decorative strip assembly 13 constitutes the bottom wall of the foaming space.

[0057] like Figure 8 As shown, the trim assembly 13 includes an end cap 131 and a lower trim 132. The end cap 131 is mounted on the bottom of the lower trim 132. The side frame 121 is located to the side of the end cap 131. The front side of the side frame 121 has a front bent plate 1216 that bends toward the side of the end cap 131, and the bottom has a bottom bent plate 1217 that extends in the left and right directions. The end cap 131 is provided with a receiving groove 1311 that receives at least part of the front bent plate 1216 and the bottom bent plate 1217. The groove wall of the receiving groove 1311 is provided with a snap 1312 that connects to the front bent plate 1216.

[0058] When assembling the frame assembly 12 and the trim assembly 13, the front bent plate 1216 and the bottom bent plate 1217 of the side frame 121 are inserted into the receiving groove 1311 for positioning, and the positions of the frame assembly 12 and the trim assembly 13 are fixed to each other through the buckle 1312. The assembly process is simple and convenient.

[0059] The decorative member 123 has a sealing portion 1233 that blocks the gap between the front bending plate 1216 and the side of the end cover 131. When the refrigeration equipment door body 10 is foamed, the sealing portion 1233 can prevent the foaming material from overflowing from the side of the front bending plate 1216 and the end cover 131 to the surface of the refrigeration equipment door body 10.

[0060] Combine Figure 4 The bottom of the fixing strip 122 has a support plate 1226 that extends laterally and is supported on the end cover 131. The end cover 131 improves the stability of the fixing strip 122 by supporting the support plate 1226. The side frame 121 has a first supporting portion 1218 supported on the support plate 1226, and the decorative member 123 has a second supporting portion 1234 supported on the support plate 1226. A fastener 125 connecting the support plate 1226 and the decorative member 123 is fixed to the support plate 1226. The support plate 1226 supports the first supporting portion 1218 of the side frame 121 and the second supporting portion 1234 of the decorative member 123, and further fixes the decorative member 123 to the fixing strip 122 through the fastener 125, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure of the side frame 121. The side frame 121, the decorative member 123 and the fixing strip 122 are not easily separated.

[0061] Furthermore, the fastener 125 passes into the matching cavity 1231 and matches with the matching cavity 1231. The matching cavity 1231 not only has the function of matching with the connection structure 124, but also has the function of matching with the fastener 125, so that the structure is simplified.

[0062] Preferably, the shape of the lower positioning hole 1212 matches the shape of the lower positioning post 1222. The longitudinal length of the upper positioning hole 1211 is greater than the longitudinal length of the upper positioning post 1221. The lower positioning post 1222 is positioned below the center of the fixing bar 122, while the upper positioning post 1221 is positioned above the center of the fixing bar 122. The support plate 1226 aligns the bottom of the fixing bar 122 with the first supporting portion 1218 of the side frame 121. The lower positioning post 1222, positioned below the center of the fixing bar 122, then engages with the lower positioning hole 1212 to position the fixing bar 122. The length of the side frame 121 and the fixing bar 122 in the longitudinal direction is large, and the accuracy is difficult to control. The position of the upper positioning column 1221 located above the center of the fixing bar 122 cannot be accurately controlled. Therefore, the length of the upper positioning hole 1211 in the longitudinal direction is greater than the length of the upper positioning column 1221 in the longitudinal direction. Even if the position of the upper positioning column 1221 deviates from the preset position, the upper positioning column 1221 and the upper positioning hole 1211 can still be assembled.

[0063] like Figure 9 As shown, the present invention further provides a refrigeration device, comprising a box body 20 and a refrigeration device door body 10 as described in the above embodiment, which is installed on the box body 20 to open or close the box body 20.

[0064] The refrigeration equipment described in the present invention is equipment used for refrigerating or freezing items, such as a refrigerator, a wine cabinet, and a beverage cabinet.

[0065] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent implementation methods or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
