Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerator air doors, in particular to an air door sealing structure for preventing air leakage. Background Art

[0002] Air-cooled refrigerators are currently mainstream products. Single-system air-cooled refrigerators have two compartments: a freezer and a refrigerator. A damper is set between the freezer and refrigerator. The refrigeration fan sends the cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator through the refrigerator damper, achieving the purpose of cooling the refrigerator. Therefore, the consistency of this air volume is crucial to the consistency of the overall performance of the refrigerator. The core technology of air-cooled refrigerators is to control the amount of cold air in each compartment. The accuracy of air outlet and return air is directly related to the refrigeration performance of air-cooled refrigerators. At present, the external structure of the damper in the air-cooled refrigerator industry is made of two pieces of butt-jointed foam materials. The two foam material structures are butt-jointed and wrapped around the damper, and the freezer and refrigerator compartments are separated at the front and rear ends of the damper. Patent publication number CN220689491U discloses an air duct assembly of a refrigerator, in which the damper is wrapped and sealed by an upper duct cover plate and a lower duct cover plate. The butt joint surface of the upper duct cover plate and the lower duct cover plate is a plane. However, since the tolerance of the two foam butt joint surfaces cannot be zero, there is a problem that cold air will leak out to varying degrees along the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction of the butt joint surface of the upper duct cover plate and the lower duct cover plate, which will interfere with the temperature of the refrigerator compartment, cause ice to form in the refrigerator refrigerator compartment, and reduce the refrigeration performance of the refrigerator freezer compartment.
