Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of refrigeration and freezing, and particularly to a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] In existing refrigerators with one or more pairs of side-by-side doors, in order to achieve sealing between the side-by-side doors, a rotating vertical beam is provided on the door body: when both side-by-side doors are in the closed state, the vertical beam closely adheres to the inner surfaces of the two door bodies to seal the gap between the side-by-side doors; when the door body provided with the vertical beam is in the open state, the vertical beam rotates and closely adheres to the side end surface of the door body to avoid interfering with the user's access to food ingredients.

[0003] However, the rotating vertical beam not only has a complex structure and high production cost, but also generates a relatively large noise when opening and closing the door body and is prone to failure. Considering comprehensively, there is a need to provide a refrigerator with a new door gap sealing structure in the design. Summary of the Invention

[0004] An object of the present invention is to overcome at least one technical defect in the prior art and provide a refrigerator with a new door gap sealing structure.

[0005] A further object of the present invention is to improve the reliability of the door gap sealing.

[0006] Another further object of the present invention is to reduce the occupied space of the sealing assembly in the storage position and the driving assembly.

[0007] In particular, the present invention provides a refrigerator, comprising:

[0008] A cabinet defining a storage compartment;

[0009] A first door body and a second door body arranged side by side at the access opening of the storage compartment for rotating to open and close the storage compartment;

[0010] At least one sealing assembly, each sealing assembly including at least one heat insulating member; and

[0011] At least one driving assembly provided on the cabinet and configured to drive the at least one sealing assembly to move between a storage position and a sealing position respectively; wherein,

[0012] When the sealing assembly is in the storage position, it is located inside the cabinet or inside the storage compartment, and when in the sealing position, it contacts the first door body and the second door body and seals the gap between the first door body and the second door body.

[0013] The refrigerator of the present invention drives a sealing assembly to move between a storage position and a sealing position through a driving assembly, so that the sealing assembly can be stored inside the refrigerator or the storage compartment when the first door and / or the second door is in an open state; when the first door and the second door are in a closed state, it contacts the two doors to achieve sealing of the gap. On the basis of effectively reducing the cold leakage of the storage compartment, compared with the prior art, the interference of the sealing structure to the user's access to food ingredients is greatly reduced, and the failure caused by the collision of the sealing structure with the user, the door body, or the box body is avoided.

[0014] Optionally, the refrigerator further includes:

[0015] At least one first magnetic member, each first magnetic member is disposed at an end of the first door or the second door close to the other door and is located on the surface of the door facing the storage compartment; and each sealing assembly further includes:

[0016] At least one second magnetic member, which is arranged to be connected to the at least one heat insulation member, and the second magnetic member and the first magnetic member are arranged to be closely attached under the action of magnetic force.

[0017] By respectively providing the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member for the door body and the heat insulation member, the refrigerator of the present invention not only makes the sealing assembly closely fit with the first door and the second door when in the sealing position, improving the sealing performance of the door body, but also can guide the movement of the sealing assembly during the movement of the sealing assembly from the storage position to the sealing position, preventing the sealing assembly from shifting, and achieving reliable sealing of the door gap.

[0018] Optionally, the number of the second magnetic members of each sealing assembly is one; and

[0019] The second magnetic member has flexibility; and / or

[0020] The second magnetic member is located between the at least one heat insulation member and the at least one first magnetic member when in the sealing position.

[0021] The refrigerator of the present invention adopts a flexible one-piece second magnetic member and makes the second magnetic member contact the door body, improving the smoothness of the movement of the sealing assembly, avoiding jamming, and at the same time improving the flatness of the front surface of the sealing assembly when in the sealing position, further improving the sealing performance of the door body.

[0022] Optionally, each sealing assembly includes a plurality of the heat insulation members arranged in a straight line, and two adjacent heat insulation members are arranged to be rotatably connected.

[0023] The refrigerator of the present invention uses a chain-type sealing assembly with multiple rotatably connected heat insulation members to seal the door gap, enabling the heat insulation members to have a certain thickness and deform flexibly during movement. In particular, when combined with magnetic members, it can have relatively low movement noise. While the sealing assembly has high heat insulation performance, the material requirements for the heat insulation members are reduced, saving production costs.

[0024] Optionally, some of the heat insulation members include:

[0025] A heat insulation portion for sealing the gap between the first door body and the second door body; and

[0026] A connecting portion for rotatably connecting with an adjacent heat insulation member; wherein,

[0027] A connecting groove is provided on the end face of the heat insulation portion away from the connecting portion, and the connecting portion of one heat insulation member is disposed in the connecting groove of the adjacent heat insulation member; and

[0028] Chamfers are provided at two corner portions of the heat insulation portion close to the connecting portion and extending along the rotation axis direction of the connecting portion.

[0029] The heat insulation member of the present invention accommodates and connects the connecting portion of another heat insulation member through the connecting groove of the heat insulation portion, and chamfers are provided at the corner portions of the heat insulation portion close to the rotation axis, ensuring the flexibility of the deformation of the sealing assembly, greatly reducing or even eliminating the gap between two adjacent heat insulation members, and improving the sealing performance of the sealing assembly at the sealing position.

[0030] Optionally, each driving assembly includes:

[0031] At least one roller for contacting the sealing assembly, and the rotation axis is set to extend along the transverse direction of the sealing assembly; and

[0032] A motor is set to be drivingly connected to one of the rollers for driving the roller to rotate.

[0033] The refrigerator of the present invention drives the sealing assembly to move between the storage position and the sealing position through the roller and the motor. The structure is simple. By adjusting the rotation direction (forward / reverse) of the driving shaft of the motor, the movement direction of the sealing assembly can be adjusted. The movement is stable and reliable, and has relatively low movement noise.

[0034] Optionally, each driving assembly includes a plurality of the rollers, and each driving assembly further includes:

[0035] A transmission belt is sleeved on the rotating shafts of the plurality of rollers to enable the plurality of rollers to rotate synchronously.

[0036] The refrigerator of the present invention uses a drive belt and multiple rollers to drive the movement of the sealing assembly, making the movement of the sealing assembly smoother and more stable, improving the overall force uniformity of the drive assembly, and reducing the failure rate of the drive assembly.

[0037] Optionally, each of the drive assemblies further includes:

[0038] A box body, disposed in the cabinet, for accommodating the sealing assembly when the sealing assembly is in the storage position; wherein,

[0039] The at least one roller is arranged to be rotatably connected to the box body.

[0040] By using the box body to accommodate the sealing assembly and installing other drive structures such as rollers, the refrigerator of the present invention can not only limit the movement of the sealing assembly in its lateral direction and thickness direction, avoid the sealing assembly from skewing, but also enable the sealing assembly and the drive assembly to be assembled into an integral assembly first, reducing the production and transportation costs of the refrigerator.

[0041] Optionally, the box body includes:

[0042] A main body, for accommodating at least part of the sealing assembly; and

[0043] A guiding portion, arranged to extend from one end of the main body close to the door body in a direction parallel to the door body, and an opening for the sealing assembly to move between the storage position and the sealing position is provided at an end far from the main body; wherein,

[0044] The guiding portion is smoothly connected to the main body.

[0045] The box body of the present invention includes a main body and a guiding portion that is smoothly connected to the main body, enabling the sealing assembly to complete a turn in the box body first and then contact the door body, increasing the initial contact area between the sealing assembly and the door body, making the movement of the sealing assembly smoother and more reliable, and is particularly suitable for refrigerators in which the sealing assembly and the door body are respectively provided with magnetic members.

[0046] Optionally, the box body includes:

[0047] A main body, for accommodating at least part of the sealing assembly and having at least one through hole; and

[0048] Two mounting portions, arranged to extend from two ends of the main body in the lateral direction towards the side close to the storage compartment; wherein,

[0049] The at least one roller is arranged to be rotatably connected to the two mounting portions and respectively partially pass through the at least one through hole to contact the sealing assembly.

[0050] The box body of the present invention includes a main body and two mounting portions extending from two transverse ends of the main body towards the storage compartment. The rollers are fixed to the two mounting portions and pass through the through holes of the main body to contact the sealing assembly. This not only improves the convenience of assembling the sealing assembly and the driving assembly (placing the sealing assembly inside the main body, installing the rollers outside the main body, and then installing the transmission belt and the motor), but also the occupied space of the assembled sealing assembly and driving assembly is small, ensuring the storage space of the storage compartment or the heat preservation performance of the box body.

[0051] Optionally, the number of the sealing assemblies and the driving assemblies is two, and the two driving assemblies are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the storage compartment;

[0052] One end face of the two sealing assemblies in the longitudinal direction is set to contact at the sealing position.

[0053] The refrigerator of the present invention is provided with a driving assembly on each of the opposite sides of the storage compartment. While ensuring the sealing length of the sealing assembly, the structure of the unilateral sealing assembly and the driving assembly is simplified, and the occupied space of the unilateral driving assembly is reduced.

[0054] Optionally, a sealing protrusion is provided on the end face of one of the sealing assemblies; and

[0055] A sealing groove is provided on the end face of the other sealing assembly for cooperating with the sealing protrusion at the sealing position.

[0056] The refrigerator of the present invention is provided with a sealing protrusion and a sealing groove on the end faces of the two sealing assemblies for contact respectively, avoiding the situation that the contact area between the end faces of the two sealing assemblies is small due to the uneven or skewed end face of the heat insulation member, reducing the requirement for the machining accuracy of the end face of the heat insulation member, and reducing the production cost.
