[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] Spatial relative position terms used herein, such as "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., are for the purpose of facilitating description of the relationship between one unit or feature and another unit or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings. The spatial relative position terms may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation shown in the figures.

[0034] For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, the unit described as being "below" or "beneath" other units or features will be "above" the other units or features. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both the upper and lower orientations. The device can be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatially related descriptors used herein can be interpreted accordingly.

[0035] In the description of this application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", and "joined" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] Moreover, it should be understood that although terms such as first and second can be used herein to describe various elements or structures, the objects described should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish these described objects from each other. For example, the first abutting surface can be called the second abutting surface, and similarly the second abutting surface can also be called the first abutting surface, which does not deviate from the protection scope of this application.

[0037] An embodiment of the present invention provides a door body, as Figures 1-3 shown, including a glass panel 1, a frame 2, and a fixing member 3. The glass panel 1 includes an outer side surface 111, an inner side surface 131, and a peripheral surface formed around the glass panel 1 and perpendicular to the outer side surface 111 and the inner side surface 131; the frame 2 is arranged along the peripheral surface, and a first abutting surface 221 extends from the outer side of the frame 2 towards the center of the glass panel 1, and the first abutting surface 221 is in close contact with the edge of the outer side surface 111; the fixing member 3 is connected to the frame 2, and the fixing member 3 is provided with a second abutting surface 35, and the second abutting surface 35 is in close contact with the edge of the inner side surface 131.

[0038] Specifically, the frame 2 includes a frame body 21 and a connecting portion 22 extending from the outer side of the frame body 21 towards the center of the glass panel 1. The first abutting surface 221 is formed on the side of the connecting portion 22 close to the glass panel 1. The connecting portion 22 is recessed from the first abutting surface 221 towards the outer side to form an installation groove 222, and a heating wire 5 is arranged in the installation groove 222, so that the heating wire 5 is close to the glass panel 1 to prevent condensation from occurring at the position where the glass panel 1 is connected to the frame 2.

[0039] Preferably, the width of the first abutting surface 221 close to the outer side surface 111 is not less than the width of the second abutting surface 35 close to the inner side surface 131, so that when the user is outside the door body, the inner structure is blocked by the frame 2, and only the glass panel 1 and the frame 2 can be seen from the appearance, which is more beautiful.

[0040] A cavity with an opening facing inward is formed between the frame body 21 on one side close to the glass panel 1 and the peripheral surface of the glass panel 1, and the connecting portion 22 protrudes toward the cavity to form a convex rib 223. The peripheral surface of the glass panel 1 abuts against the convex rib 223 near the outside, so that the convex rib 223 limits the connection between the glass panel 1 and the frame 2.

[0041] The frame body 21 is provided with a first snap-fitting groove 211, the opening of the first snap-fitting groove 211 faces inward, and a first snap-fitting buckle 2111 is formed on one side wall thereof. The fixing member 3 includes a first snap-fitting portion 31, a second snap-fitting buckle 32, and a second snap-fitting groove 33. The first snap-fitting portion 31 is snap-fitted into a cavity formed between the frame body 21 and the peripheral surface of the glass panel 1, and the second snap-fitting buckle 32 extends into the first snap-fitting groove 211 and snap-fits with the first snap-fitting buckle 2111 to realize the connection between the fixing member 3 and the frame 2.

[0042] Preferably, a rack 311 is formed on one side of the first clamping portion 31 close to the glass panel 1, and the rack 311 is arranged at an acute angle to the opening direction of the cavity. In this embodiment, the glass panel 1 includes an outer layer of glass 11, a middle layer of glass 12, and an inner layer of glass 13, and there is a certain distance between two adjacent layers of glass. When the first clamping portion 31 extends into the cavity, the rack 311 is arranged at an obtuse angle to the extending direction, so it can easily enter the cavity. However, if an inward force is applied to the fixing member 3, the rack 311 abuts against each layer of glass, and the first clamping portion 31 has a large resistance to leaving the cavity, which can prevent the first clamping portion 31 from leaving the cavity, thereby strengthening the connection strength between the fixing member 3 and the frame 2.

[0043] Furthermore, the second clamping groove 33 opens toward the inside, and one end of the opening extends inwardly so that the opening width of the second clamping groove 33 is smaller than the distance between the two side walls of the second clamping groove 33. It should be noted here that the "inside" in the "one end of the opening extends inwardly" does not refer to the side corresponding to the inner side surface 131 of the glass panel 1 in the context, but one side wall of the second clamping groove 33 extends toward the other side wall near one end of the opening, and the other side wall also extends toward the side wall near one end of the opening, so that the opening of the second clamping groove 33 is reduced.

[0044] The door body provided in this embodiment further includes a seal 4. The seal 4 includes a seal body 41, a second clamping portion 42, and an airbag 43. The seal body 41 is arranged inside the frame body 21. The cross-section of the second clamping portion 42 is arrow-shaped and is arranged in the second clamping groove 33. The width of the arrow-shaped second clamping portion 42 is greater than the width of the opening of the second clamping groove 33. When the second clamping portion 42 extends into the second clamping groove 33, both sides of the arrow-shaped second clamping portion 42 abut against the opening of the second clamping groove 33 and gradually extend into the second clamping groove 33 under the guidance of the arrow shape. After the second clamping portion 42 extends into the second clamping groove 33, the arrow-shaped second clamping portion 42 is limited by the opening of the second clamping groove 33, and it is difficult for the second clamping portion 42 to come out of the second clamping groove 33.

[0045] The door body provided in this embodiment is usually used for refrigeration equipment. The outer side surface 111 of the aforementioned glass panel 1 is the side away from the refrigeration equipment box body, and the inner side surface 131 is the side close to and closing the box body. The seal 4 is used to seal the refrigeration compartment of the refrigeration equipment. The fixing member 3 further includes a fixing portion 34 arranged inside the inner side surface 131. The fixing portion 34 is fixed with a light bar 6, which can illuminate the refrigeration compartment. The airbag 43 of the seal 4 is arranged on the side of the seal body 41 close to the glass panel 1 and is in close contact with the fixing portion 34. When the door body is closed, the airbag 43 is spaced between the box body of the refrigeration equipment and the fixing portion 34 bracket, preventing the two from colliding, and also avoiding cold leakage at the contact position between the box body and the seal 4.

[0046] Further, the frame body 21 forms a cavity 212. The door body further includes a reinforcing member 7. The reinforcing member 7 is in close contact with the inner wall surface of the cavity 212. To reduce the weight of the frame 2, the frame body 21 away from the glass panel 1 is set as a hollow structure, and the reinforcing member 7 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the hollow frame body 21 to further enhance the strength of the frame 2.

[0047] Of course, in addition to the interaction between the aforementioned frame 2 and the fixing member 3 to fix the glass panel 1, glue can also be coated between the first abutting surface 221 and the outer side surface 111, and glue can be coated between the second abutting surface 35 and the inner side surface 131.

[0048] In this embodiment, a vacuum layer is provided between the inner layer glass 13 and the middle layer glass 12, and a hollow layer is provided between the outer layer glass 11 and the middle layer glass 12. Adjacent layers of glass are connected around the edges. When the door body in this embodiment is installed on the box body of the refrigeration equipment, the cold in the refrigeration compartment is likely to leak from the edge connection.

[0049] The glue coated between the second abutting surface 35 and the inner side surface 131 has a heat insulation effect and exactly corresponds to the connection part of the inner layer glass 13 and the middle layer glass 12, preventing the cold in the refrigeration chamber from leaking out between the second abutting surface 35 and the inner side surface 131. The glue coated between the first abutting surface 221 and the outer side surface 111 also has a heat insulation effect and exactly corresponds to the connection part of the outer layer glass 11 and the middle layer glass 12, further preventing the cold in the refrigeration chamber from leaking out between the first abutting surface 221 and the outer side surface 111.

[0050] Since a rack 311 is provided on one side of the first clamping portion 31 close to the glass panel 1, a gap is formed between the first clamping portion 31 and the glass panel 1, and this gap forms an air cavity, which also has a heat insulation effect. The door body provided in this embodiment has triple heat insulation at the edge, and the heat insulation effect is better.

[0051] In addition, when installing the door body provided in this embodiment, it is installed in the order of applying glue to the frame 2 - glass door body - applying glue to the fixing member 3 - seal 4, which can achieve fully automated installation, saving labor costs and reducing time costs.

[0052] It should be understood that although this specification is described according to embodiments, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0053] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of the feasible embodiments of the present invention, and they are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent embodiments or changes made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
