Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of refrigeration, and in particular to door components and refrigerators. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, gaps can easily form between two connected plate-like structures due to adjustments in their position or thermal expansion and contraction of the materials. For example, in built-in refrigerators, the cabinet door panel is installed outside the door, serving as a decorative panel for the refrigerator door. After adjusting the relative position of the decorative panel and the refrigerator door, the gap between them is directly exposed. Without concealing this gap, it not only affects the aesthetics but also allows dust to easily enter, causing inconvenience for cleaning and maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the issue of exposed gaps between the two plate-like structures, this application provides a door assembly comprising a first door panel, a second door panel, and a sealing assembly for covering the gap between the first door panel and the second door panel. The sealing assembly includes a first cover plate connected to the first door panel and an elastic blocking member located on the side of the first cover plate near the gap. The gap includes a first portion covered by the first cover plate and a second portion not covered by the first cover plate. The elastic blocking member connects the first door panel and the second door panel. When the gap changes, the elastic blocking member deforms and always covers the second portion.

[0004] Furthermore, the sealing assembly also includes a second cover plate and an elastic member that abut against each other. The second cover plate is connected to the second door panel, and the elastic member is connected to the elastic shield. When the gap changes, the elastic member deforms, and the elastic shield blocks the second part.

[0005] Furthermore, the elastic element includes a plurality of elastic claws spaced apart.

[0008] Furthermore, the sealing assembly also includes at least one limiting post assembly connected to the elastic shield, the limiting post assembly including a first limiting post and a second limiting post arranged in parallel;

[0009] The first cover plate also includes a limiting component, which includes an L-shaped first limiting buckle and a second limiting buckle. The first limiting buckle limits the first limiting post in a first direction, and the second limiting buckle limits the second limiting post in a second direction. The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the first limiting buckle and the second limiting buckle are disposed between the first limiting post and the second limiting post, and the L-shaped openings of the first limiting buckle and the second limiting buckle are arranged in opposite directions.

[0011] Furthermore, the sealing assembly also includes a fixing post connected to the elastic shield for inserting and securing the spring.

[0012] Furthermore, at least one fixing protrusion is provided on the outer surface of the fixing post to fix the spring axially.

[0014] The first component is connected to the first door panel and includes screw holes;

[0015] The second component is connected to the second door panel and includes a cover, a first screw and a connecting section. The first screw includes a connected head end and a tip. The cover is connected to the connecting section and forms a receiving space to accommodate the head end.

[0016] The tip passes through the connecting section and extends into the screw hole. When the tip rotates in the screw hole, the second door panel moves relative to the first door panel along the axial direction of the first screw.

[0017] This application also provides a refrigerator, which includes a cabinet and a door assembly as described above, wherein a second door panel is connected to the cabinet.

[0018] Furthermore, the second door panel is the refrigerator door body, and the first door panel is a decorative panel connected to the outside of the refrigerator door body.

[0019] This application relates to a door assembly and a refrigerator.

[0038] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0039] To address the issue of exposed gaps between the two plate-like structures, this application provides a door assembly 100. The door assembly 100 includes a first door panel 1 and a second door panel 2 connected together, and a sealing assembly 3 that covers the gap between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2. The sealing assembly 3 includes a first cover plate 31 connected to the first door panel 1 and an elastic blocking member 32 located on the side of the first cover plate 31 near the gap. The gap includes a first portion covered by the first cover plate 31 and a second portion not covered by the first cover plate 31. The elastic blocking member 32 connects the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2. When the gap changes, the elastic blocking member 32 deforms and always covers the second portion.

[0040] In the door assembly 100, the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2 are connected. Specifically, the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2 can be connected by a hinge or screw, and an adjustable gap is formed between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2.

[0041] The sealing assembly 3 includes a first cover plate 31 and an elastic blocking member 32. The first cover plate 31 is configured to be connected to the first door panel 1 and is capable of blocking a portion of the gap between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2, namely the first portion. In addition to the first portion blocked by the first cover plate 31, the gap between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2 also includes a second portion not blocked by the first cover plate 31. The elastic blocking member 32 is configured to connect the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2, and when the gap changes, the elastic blocking member 32 deforms due to the compression between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2, adapting to the change in gap and always blocking the second portion of the gap not blocked by the first cover plate 31.

[0042] In this application, no matter how the gap between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2 changes, the elastic blocking member 32 can flexibly adapt to the gap change and ensure that the second part of the gap is always blocked by the elastic blocking member 32.

[0043] In one embodiment, the sealing assembly 3 further includes a second cover plate 33 and an elastic member 311 that abut against each other. The second cover plate 33 is connected to the second door panel 2, and the elastic member 311 is connected to the elastic blocking member 32. When the gap changes, the elastic member 311 deforms, and the elastic blocking member 32 blocks the second part.

[0044] Specifically, the elastic element 311 is connected to the elastic blocking element 32, the second cover plate 33 is perpendicular to the first cover plate 31, and the second cover plate 33 is connected to the second door panel 2. The direction in which the elastic blocking element 32 extends toward the elastic element 311 is parallel to the first cover plate 31, and the end of the elastic element 311 away from the elastic blocking element 32 abuts against the second cover plate 33. When the gap between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2 changes, the second cover plate 33 presses against the elastic element 311. The elastic element 311 deforms due to the pressure from the second cover plate 33, and the elastic force of the elastic element 311 drives the elastic blocking element 32 to flexibly adjust its position or shape to ensure that the second part of the gap between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2 is always blocked by the elastic blocking element 32.

[0045] The aforementioned elastic element 311 can be a metal elastic element 311, such as an elastic sheet or a spring. Of course, the elastic element 311 can also be a non-metallic elastic element 311, such as an elastic element made of rubber or an elastic element made of silicone. It should be noted that this application does not limit the specific material and shape of the elastic element 311.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the elastic element 311 includes a plurality of elastic claws spaced apart. The elastic claws maintain a certain distance from each other, allowing each claw to deform and recover relatively independently when subjected to external force, thereby improving the elasticity and adaptability of the elastic claws and the elastic blocking element 32.

[0047] The shape and material of the elastic claw are designed according to specific requirements. Generally, elastic claws are bent, twisted or other shapes to increase the range and effect of elastic deformation. In this application, the elastic claw is set as a bent N-shaped structure.

[0048] In addition, when multiple flexible claws are set at intervals, the number and layout of the flexible claws are adjusted according to the application requirements. Generally speaking, more flexible claws have higher flexibility and wider adaptability, but at the same time, they will increase cost and complexity.

[0049] It should be noted that this application does not impose specific restrictions on the material, shape, number, or positional relationship of the elastic claws.

[0050] To better position the sealing assembly 3, the sealing assembly 3 further includes at least one limiting hook assembly 312 connected to the elastic shield 32, and the first cover plate 31 includes a first positioning block 321;

[0051] The limiting hook assembly 312 includes a first hook-shaped member 301 and a second hook-shaped member 302 with their hook ends arranged opposite each other, and a sliding groove 303 is formed between the first hook-shaped member 301 and the second hook-shaped member 302; the sliding groove 303 is engaged with the first positioning block 321.

[0052] The direction in which the elastic blocking member 32 of the sealing assembly 3 extends toward the limiting hook assembly 312 is parallel to the first cover plate 31. The first hook-shaped member 301 and the second hook-shaped member 302 have the same structure, both including a hook end, and the hook ends of the first hook-shaped member 301 and the second hook-shaped member 302 are arranged opposite to each other, so that a groove 303 is formed between the first hook-shaped member 301 and the second hook-shaped member 302. During the elastic deformation of the elastic member 311, the groove 303 acts as a guide structure.

[0053] Meanwhile, a first positioning block 321 is provided on the first cover plate 31 at the position corresponding to the slide groove 303. After the first cover plate 31 and the elastic blocking member 32 are installed, the slide groove 303 is exactly in the slide groove 303. Since the two hook ends arranged opposite to each other form a stopping effect, the slide groove 303 can limit the range of motion of the limiting hook assembly 312.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, the elastic blocking member 32 is connected to the first door panel 1, and the first cover plate 31 is connected to the second door panel 2 through the second cover plate 33. When the gap width between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2 changes, the elastic blocking member 32 is engaged with the first positioning block 321 through the sliding groove 303 and slides, and the sliding range is limited to the area between the elastic blocking member 32 and the hook end.

[0055] The gap width is the distance between the two sides of the gap in the direction perpendicular to the plane where the second cover plate 33 is located.

[0056] The limit hook assembly 312 enhances the stability of the sealing assembly 3 when blocking the gap between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2, reducing the offset caused by vibration or external force, thereby reducing the leakage of the gap due to the offset of the elastic blocking member 32.

[0057] In order to better position the sealing component 3, the sealing component 3 in this application further includes at least one limiting post component 313 connected to the elastic shield 32. The limiting post component 313 includes a first limiting post 303 and a second limiting post 304 arranged in parallel.

[0058] The first cover plate 31 also includes a limiting component 322, which includes an L-shaped first limiting buckle 305 and a second limiting buckle 306. The first limiting buckle 305 limits the first limiting post 303 in a first direction, and the second limiting buckle 306 limits the second limiting post 304 in a second direction. The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0059] The elastic shielding member 32 of the sealing assembly 3 extends toward the limiting post assembly 313 in a direction parallel to the first cover plate 31. A limiting component 322 is provided on the first cover plate 31 at a position corresponding to the limiting post assembly 313 to limit the offset of the limiting post assembly 313 in a first direction or a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite and both are parallel to the extension direction of the boundary line between the first cover plate 31 and the second cover plate 33.

[0060] Specifically, the first limiting buckle 305 limits the first limiting post 303 in the first direction. When the sealing assembly 3 is subjected to an external force that moves in the first direction, the first limiting buckle 305 will prevent the first limiting post 303 from moving. The second limiting buckle 306 limits the second limiting post 304 in the second direction. When the sealing assembly 3 is subjected to an external force that moves in the second direction, the second limiting buckle 306 will prevent the second limiting post 304 from moving.

[0061] The limiting component 322 includes a first limiting buckle 305 and a second limiting buckle 306 with identical structures. Both the first limiting buckle 305 and the second limiting buckle 306 are L-shaped. Specifically, the first limiting buckle 305 and the second limiting buckle 306 are L-shaped along a cross-section parallel to the plane containing the second cover plate 33. Taking the first limiting buckle 305 as an example, the L-shaped first limiting buckle 305 has a first limiting part and a second limiting part that are perpendicular to each other and connected. The first limiting part is connected to the first cover plate 31, and the second limiting part is parallel to the first cover plate 31. The first cover plate 31 and the L-shaped first limiting buckle 305 form a limiting space. The first limiting post 303 is placed in the limiting space to limit the first limiting post 303. Similarly, the L-shaped limiting buckle and the first cover plate 31 form a limiting space, and the second limiting post 304 is placed in the limiting space to achieve the limiting of the second limiting buckle 306 on the second limiting post 304.

[0062] The L-shaped openings of the first limiting buckle 305 and the second limiting buckle 306 can be arranged opposite to each other. In this case, the first limiting buckle 305 is located on the side of the first limiting post 303 away from the second limiting post 304 and its opening faces the second limiting post 304. The second limiting buckle 306 is located on the side of the second limiting post 304 away from the first limiting post 303 and its opening faces the first limiting post 303. The L-shaped openings of the first limiting buckle 305 and the second limiting buckle 306 are arranged opposite to each other, so that a stable limiting structure is formed between the first limiting buckle 305 and the second limiting buckle 306, ensuring that the sealing assembly 3 will not shift in the first or second direction when it deforms due to gap changes.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, the first limiting buckle 305 and the second limiting buckle 306 are disposed between the first limiting post 303 and the second limiting post 304, and the L-shaped openings of the first limiting buckle 305 and the second limiting buckle 306 are arranged in opposite directions. That is, the first limiting buckle 305 is disposed on the side of the first limiting post 303 near the second limiting post 304 and the L-shaped opening faces the first limiting post 303, and the second limiting buckle 306 is disposed on the side of the second limiting post 304 near the first limiting post 303 and the L-shaped opening faces the second limiting post 304, so as to ensure that effective limiting function can be provided in both the first direction and the second direction, which are opposite directions.

[0064] The limiting post assembly 313 and the limiting assembly 322 with the L-shaped opening arranged opposite to each other cooperate to fix the elastic blocking member 32 more stably and prevent it from shifting in the first or second direction under the action of external force.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, the sealing assembly 3 in this application includes a plurality of spaced elastic elements 311, limiting hook assemblies 312, and limiting post assemblies 313; that is, the elastic elements 311, limiting hook assemblies 312, and limiting post assemblies 313 are designed to interweave. This is to better provide elasticity to the elastic shielding member 32 and position it. Of course, the specific arrangement of the elastic elements 311, limiting hook assemblies 312, and limiting post assemblies 313 is not specifically limited in this application.

[0066] In one embodiment, the sealing assembly 3 further includes a fixing post 314 connected to the elastic blocking member 32 for inserting and fixing a spring. The fixing post 314 is a columnar structure or a similar columnar structure with a certain length and diameter so that the spring is sleeved on the fixing post 314 and fixed. The spring provides elastic force in the sealing assembly 3. When the gap between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2 changes, the spring deforms so that the elastic blocking member 32 always blocks the second part of the gap that is not blocked by the first cover plate 31.

[0067] When the spring is sleeved on the fixed post 314, it can be fixed by clips, glue or other means so that the spring can provide a stable elastic force to the elastic blocking member 32 through the fixed post 314.

[0068] In one embodiment, at least one fixing protrusion 307 is provided on the outer surface of the fixing post 314 to fix the spring axially. When the fixing post 314 passes through the spring, the fixing protrusion 307 will lock a part of the spring, and fix the spring through friction and snapping action, effectively locking the spring and preventing the spring from moving axially.

[0069] The fixing protrusion 307, as part of the fixing post 314, is connected to the fixing post 314 by adhesive bonding, casting or other processes to form an integral structure, ensuring that the fixing protrusion 307 will not move with the deformation of the spring, so as to fix the spring more stably.

[0070] The shape of the fixing protrusion 307 can be set as a dot protrusion, an annular protrusion or other shapes. This application does not impose specific restrictions on the number and shape of the fixing protrusion 307.

[0071] In one embodiment, the door assembly 100 further includes at least one adjusting member 4 to flexibly adjust the relative position between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2; the adjusting member 4 includes a first component 41 and a second component 42 connected to each other.

[0072] The first component 41 is connected to the first door panel 1 and includes a screw hole 411;

[0073] The second component 42 is connected to the second door panel 2 and includes a cover 421, a first screw 422 and a connecting section 423. The first screw 422 includes a head end and a tip connected together. The cover 421 is connected to the connecting section 423 and forms a receiving space to accommodate the head end.

[0074] The tip passes through the connecting section 423 and extends into the screw hole 411. When the tip rotates in the screw hole 411, the second door panel 2 moves relative to the first door panel 1 along the axial direction of the first screw 422.

[0075] The cover 421 makes the cover 421, the first screw 422 and the connecting section 423 a whole. When the tip of the first screw 422 rotates in the screw hole 411 of the first door panel 1, the first screw 422 drives the second component 42 to generate a relative displacement along the axial direction of the first screw 422, thereby causing the first door panel 1 to move relative to the second door panel 2 in the axial direction of the first screw 422, that is, the first door panel 1 to generate a distance displacement relative to the second door panel 2 in the axial direction of the first screw 422.

[0076] This application also provides a refrigerator, which includes a cabinet and a door assembly 100 as described above, wherein a second door panel 2 is connected to the cabinet, the cabinet is used to store and preserve food, and the second door panel 2 is used to close and cover the opening of the cabinet.

[0077] In the refrigerator provided above, specifically, the second door panel 2 is the refrigerator door body, the first door panel 1 is a decorative panel connected to the outside of the refrigerator door body, the second door panel 2 is the refrigerator door body, generally has good heat insulation performance to ensure the temperature inside the refrigerator is stable, the decorative panel is connected to the outside of the refrigerator door body, mainly for aesthetic and decorative purposes, and at the same time provides protection for the refrigerator door body, the gap between the refrigerator door body and the decorative panel can be effectively blocked by the sealing component 3.

[0078] This application relates to a door assembly 100 and a refrigerator. The door assembly 100 includes a first door panel 1 and a second door panel 2 connected together, and a sealing assembly 3 that covers the gap between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2. The sealing assembly 3 includes a first cover plate 31 connected to the first door panel 1 and an elastic blocking member 32 located on the side of the first cover plate 31 near the gap. The gap includes a first portion covered by the first cover plate 31 and a second portion not covered by the first cover plate 31. The elastic blocking member 32 connects the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2. When the gap changes, the elastic blocking member 32 deforms and always covers the second portion. In this application, the elastic blocking member 32 deforms accordingly with the change of the gap to flexibly cover the gap between the first door panel 1 and the second door panel 2, improving the compactness and aesthetics between the door panels. At the same time, because the gap is effectively blocked, dust is difficult to enter, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance.
