[0015] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solution of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0016] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, an inflatable door seal structure is suitable for display cabinets, refrigerators, etc., including a cabinet body, a cabinet door 1 hinged in the cabinet body, a door seal 2 is arranged on the inner side of the cabinet door 1, a door magnetic switch is arranged in the cabinet body, the door seal 2 is made of elastic material, a bag cavity 21 capable of accommodating gas is arranged in the door seal 2, an air pump 3 is arranged in the cabinet door 1, the air pump 3 can be inflated and deflated, the air nozzle of the air pump 3 is connected with the bag cavity 21 of the door seal 2, the door seal 2 is electrically connected with the door magnetic switch, when opening and closing the door, the air pump 3 is controlled by the door magnetic switch to deflat when opening the door and to inflate when closing the door, the door seal 2 contracts after opening the door and expands after closing the door to avoid the door clamping phenomenon.

[0017] The door seal 2 is made of elastic material such as soft polyvinyl chloride, and a gas-containing cavity 21 is provided inside the door seal 2. The cavity 21 can be an integrated connected type or a segmented type. A magnetic strip cavity 24 and an air bag 22 are provided outside the cavity 21. A gas with a certain pressure is provided inside the air bag 22. A magnetic strip 23 is provided in the magnetic strip cavity 24, and the air bag 22 is flush with the magnetic strip 23.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the sealing strip structure is suitable for a display cabinet, the cabinet door 1 is a glass door, and a profile 11 is arranged around the edge of the cabinet door 1, the cabinet door profile 11 is assembled and connected to the outside air, a cavity is arranged in the profile 11, an electric air pump 3 is fixedly installed in the cavity, the air pump 3 can be inflated and exhausted, the air pump 3 has an inflation port 31 and an exhaust port 32, an inflation pipe 12 and an exhaust pipe 13 are arranged in the middle position of the inner wall of the profile 11, the inflation pipe 12 is made of hard material such as plastic or metal, one end of the inflation pipe 12 and the exhaust pipe 13 are connected to the bag cavity 21, and the other end is respectively connected to the inflation port 31 and the exhaust port 32 of the air pump 3. When inflating, the air pump 3 absorbs air and fills it into the bag cavity 21 through the inflation pipe 12. When exhausting, the exhaust pipe 13 of the air pump 3 absorbs gas from the bag cavity 21 and discharges it into the profile 11, and flows to the outside through the gap of the profile 11.

[0019] The number of air pumps 3 can be freely selected according to the type of door seal 2 and the use requirements. If the bladder cavity 21 is an integrated and connected type, the number of air pumps 3 can be one or more. In order to improve the efficiency of inflation and degassing and the uniformity of the air volume in the bladder cavity 21, an air pump 3 can be set in each of the profiles 11 on the four sides of the cabinet door 1. In addition, if the bladder cavity 21 is a segmented type, an air pump 3 can be set in each of the profiles 11 on the four sides, or an air pump 3 can be set only on one side of the hinge axis. Since the door clamping phenomenon is most likely to occur on one side of the hinge axis when opening and closing, timely extraction of gas when opening can effectively solve the door clamping phenomenon.

[0020] A door magnetic switch is provided in the cabinet body, and the position of the door magnetic switch matches the position of the magnetic strip 23. The door magnetic switch is electrically connected to the air pump 3 to control the inflation and exhaust of the air pump 3. When the cabinet door 1 is opened, the door magnetic switch is disconnected to control the air pump 3 to exhaust air outwards, extract the gas in the bag cavity 21, and shrink the door seal 2; when the cabinet door 1 is closed, the door magnetic switch is connected to control the air pump 3 to inflate the bag cavity 21, and the door seal 2 is inflated and expanded, so that the cabinet door 1 is tightly combined with the cabinet body to seal the cabinet door 1.

[0021] After the cabinet door 1 is opened, the air pump 3 draws out the gas in the bag cavity 21, causing the door seal 2 to shrink and adjusting the thickness of the door seal 2, thereby solving the problem of the door seal 2 being clamped when the cabinet door 1 is closed. After the cabinet door 1 is closed, the door seal 2 is inflated to make the door seal 2 fit tightly against the cabinet body, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance of the cabinet body.

[0022] The above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
