DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The specific implementation manner of a refrigerator door handle structure that can be quickly installed provided by the utility model is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] A refrigerator door handle structure that can be quickly installed, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the structural body 2 is installed on the refrigerator door body 1, wherein the refrigerator door body 1 includes a door plate and a panel.

[0030] Preferably, the structural body 2 includes a door handle 3 and a handle assembly 4, and mounting holes for fixing the handle assembly 4 are provided at both ends of the door handle 3; a fixing hole is reserved on the panel of the refrigerator door body 1 at a position corresponding to the mounting hole of the door handle 3; and the door handle 3 is detachably connected to the refrigerator door body 1 through the handle assembly 4.

[0031] Preferably, the handle assembly 4 includes a knob 41, a butterfly member 42, a bolt 43, a fixing seat 44 and a base 45. Figure 3 shown.

[0032] Specifically, the top of the knob member 41 is provided with a hand-held knob, the bottom of the hand-held knob is provided with a rotating rod, the center of the rotating rod is provided with a threaded hole 412, and the bottom of the rotating rod is provided with a guide block 411, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 shown.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the butterfly member 42 includes a guide groove 421 that matches the size of the guide block 411, and the guide block 411 of the knob member 41 is plugged into the guide groove 421 of the butterfly member 42; the butterfly member 42 is provided with a first through hole 422 at a position corresponding to the threaded hole 412; a limit baffle 424 is provided at the bottom of the butterfly wing of the butterfly member 42; the bolt 43 passes through the first through hole from the bottom of the butterfly member 42 upward, and then 422 is threadedly connected with the threaded hole 412 of the knob member 41.

[0034] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the fixed seat 44 is a hollow cylindrical structure with openings at both ends; wherein, two centrally symmetrical fan-shaped structures 446 are arranged on the top of the inner cavity of the fixed seat 44; a butterfly-shaped notch 441 matching the size of the butterfly piece 42 is formed between the two fan-shaped structures 446 and the side wall of the fixed seat 44; two longitudinal slide grooves 442 are centrally symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the fixed seat 44; the fan-shaped structure 446 is provided with a groove corresponding to the position of the slide groove 442 close to the top of the fixed seat 44, and the groove surface forms a pressing platform 443 for fixing to the base 45; a rotating stop block 444 is arranged on one side of the bottom of the fan-shaped structure 446, and a second structure yielding space 445 inclined downward and inward is arranged on the edge of the other side.

[0035] It is worth noting here that the butterfly wing edge of the butterfly member 42 is tilted downward and outward corresponding to the position of the second structure yield 445 to form the first structure yield 423; the two structure yields are mainly to avoid the rotation of the butterfly member 42 inside the fixing seat 44 being obstructed.

[0036] like Figure 8As shown, the base 45 includes a chassis 451 and a barrel seat 452 disposed on the top of the chassis 451; wherein, the top of the barrel seat 452 has two claws 4521 at a position corresponding to the slide slot 442; when connected, the claws 4521 of the base 45 slide upward along the slide slot 442 and abut against the pressing platform 443 of the fixing seat 44 to complete the installation. In addition, the fixing seat 44 and the base 45 are fixed at a position corresponding to the panel fixing hole of the door panel through the chassis 451.

[0037] Further preferably, the butterfly member 42 is inserted into the inner cavity of the fixing seat 44 along the butterfly notch 441 and rotated, and the purpose of controlling its rotation angle is achieved through the cooperation between the rotation stop block 444 and the limit baffle 424.

[0038] Still further preferably, in order to increase the contact area between the handle assembly 4 and the foaming agent and ensure that the door handle 3 is fixed more firmly, a flange 447 is provided on the top edge of the fixing seat 44 in the outward circumferential direction.

[0039] During installation, first hold one end of the hand-held knob of the rotating member 41, insert the rotating rod into the mounting hole of the door handle 3, and then align the guide block 411 with the guide groove 421 of the butterfly member 42 to complete the plug-in; then use the bolt 43 to pass through the first through hole 422 of the butterfly member 42 from bottom to top and then thread it with the threaded hole 412 of the knob member 41; finally, insert the butterfly-shaped notch 441 on the fixing seat 44 exposed at the position of the panel fixing hole at the bottom of the butterfly member 42 downward into the position below the fan-shaped structure 446 in the inner cavity of the fixing seat 44, and drive the guide groove 421 of the butterfly member 42 to complete the rotation through the guide block 411 of the rotating knob 41, until the limit baffle 424 at the bottom of the butterfly member 42 and the rotation stop block 444 at the bottom of the fan-shaped structure 446 conflict with each other, and the installation is completed.

[0040] Similarly, when disassembling, it is only necessary to rotate the hand-held knob in the opposite direction to disengage the butterfly member 42 from the fixing seat 44 and then take it out. It should be noted here that when the butterfly member 42 completes the rotation, a certain gap is still reserved between the door handle 3 and the panel of the refrigerator door body 1, leaving a space for the two to disengage.

[0041] It is worth mentioning that the rotating surface of the hand-held knob in the present invention adopts a bevel design. When the rotating surface of the hand-held knob is coplanar with the door handle mounting hole, the door handle 3 is fixed, which makes it more convenient for the installer or user to intuitively judge whether the installation is completed.

[0042] The quick-install door handle provided by the utility model has a simple structure. Through simple rotation and snap-fitting combined with the rotation stop accessories, it is easy for installers or users to install and disassemble, and has high reliability. It avoids damage caused by improper installation, reduces unnecessary after-sales expenses, and improves the user experience.
