[0037] The present utility model provides a door body 10.
[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the door body 10 includes a door body 400, an end cover assembly, and a panel 300. The end cover assembly includes a first end cover 100 and a handle 200. The first end cover 100 is provided at one end of the door body 400 and has an adjacent first mating surface 110 and a second mating surface 120. The handle 200 is provided with a first connecting portion 210 connected to the first mating surface 110 and a second connecting portion 220 connected to the second mating surface 120; the panel 300 is provided on one side of the door body 400 and is connected to the end cover assembly.
[0039] Specifically, the door body 400, as the main part of the refrigerator door 10, generally includes a vertical column 410, an inner liner, and a thermal insulation layer, and the thermal insulation layer ensures that the temperature inside the refrigerator is not easily affected by the external environment. The first end cap 100 is provided at one end of the door body 400, which not only plays a decorative role but also protects the edge of the door 10 from damage. The first end cap 100 includes an adjacent first mating surface 110 and a second mating surface 120, that is, the first mating surface 110 and the second mating surface 120 are two different surfaces on the first end cap 100, and they extend along two different directions respectively. The handle 200 is an important component for the user to open or close the door 10. The handle 200 is respectively connected to the first mating surface 110 and the second mating surface 120 through two different first connecting portions 210 and second connecting portions 220, so that the handle 200 can be more firmly installed on the first end cap 100. The handle 200 can be in a plate shape, and the handle 200, the first connecting portion 210, and the second connecting portion 220 can be arranged to intersect pairwise, or the first connecting portion 210 can be parallel to the handle 200 or in the same plane, and the second connecting portion 220 intersects with the handle 200; the handle 200 can also be in a rod shape or a hook shape. The first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 can be two components arranged in different directions of the handle 200, or two adjacent side surfaces of the handle 200, or components on two adjacent side surfaces of the handle 200. The panel 300 is located on the outermost layer of the door body 400, which not only plays a role in aesthetics but also can integrate display and control functions. The panel 300 is connected to the end cap assembly, can be connected to the handle 200, can also be connected to the first end cap 100, or can be partially connected to the handle 200 and partially connected to the first end cap 100.
[0040] The first end cap 100 and the handle 200 are connected on two adjacent planes, which increases the connection strength and stability between the first end cap 100 and the handle 200, thereby increasing the stiffness of the overall structure of the door 10. The first end cap 100 is not easily deformed under the firm connection with the handle 200, thereby reducing the risk of a large gap caused by relative displacement between the panel 300 and the door body 400, and further reducing the risk of deformation of the door 10, so as to increase the yield rate and reduce the scrapping of defective products.
[0041] The technical solution of the present utility model respectively connects the adjacent first mating surface 110 and the second mating surface 120 of the first end cap 100 with the first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 of the handle 200, so that the connection strength and stability between the first end cap 100 and the handle 200 are better, thereby increasing the stiffness of the overall structure of the door 10. The first end cap 100 is not easily deformed, and further reduces the risk of an increased gap between the panel 300 and the door body 400.
[0042] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 andFigure 6 The door body 10 further includes a plurality of first fasteners 500. The plurality of first fasteners 500 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first mating surface 110 and penetrate through the first connecting portion 210 and the first mating surface 110.
[0043] The first fastener 500 can be a component for fixing such as a screw or a bolt. Using a plurality of first fasteners 500 and arranging them at intervals along the length direction of the first mating surface 110 to form a plurality of fastening points can significantly improve the reliability of the connection between the first connecting portion 210 and the first mating surface 110, thereby improving the strength and reliability of the connection between the handle 200 and the first end cover 100. At the same time, the plurality of first fasteners 500 can evenly distribute the force on the handle 200, avoiding loosening or damage caused by excessive single-point force, thereby improving the overall strength of the door body 10 and extending its service life.
[0044] In other embodiments, the first connecting portion 210 and the first mating surface 110 can be stably connected by means of snap connection, bonding, welding, or secondary injection molding.
[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The first mating surface 110 is provided with an installation groove 111, and the first connecting portion 210 is installed in the installation groove 111.
[0046] The installation groove 111 provides a clear installation position for the first connecting portion 210, making the assembly process simpler and faster and reducing the installation error caused by inaccurate positioning. The installation groove 111 allows the first connecting portion 210 to be embedded into the first mating surface 110, and the first connecting portion 210 can be hidden. When the first mating surface 110 is a plane parallel to the horizontal plane and the first connecting portion 210 is exposed, the embedded installation method can reduce the probability of an external object colliding with the first connecting portion 210, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by external force impact. At the same time, it can make the appearance smoother and improve the overall aesthetics of the door body 10. When the first mating surface 110 is a plane facing the panel 300 and the first connecting portion 210 is located between the first mating surface 110 and the panel 300, the first connecting portion 210 is embedded in the installation groove 111 and does not protrude from the first mating surface 110, making the panel 300 and the first mating surface 110 more compact. In addition, embedding the first connecting portion 210 into the installation groove 111 can enhance the bonding strength between the handle 200 and the door body 10, making the handle 200 more firm and not easily loosening or falling off.
[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 A weight-reducing groove 112 is formed at the bottom of the installation groove 111, and a connecting column 113 for the first fastener 500 to penetrate through is provided on the side wall of the weight-reducing groove 112.
[0048] A sunken groove is provided at the bottom of the installation groove 111. This sunken groove serves as a weight-reducing groove 112, which can reduce the amount of material used, thereby reducing the weight of the first end cap 100. Connecting columns 113 are provided on the side walls of the weight-reducing groove 112. The connecting columns 113 can serve as support points for the first fastener 500, providing accurate positioning for the first fastener 500, making the installation of the handle 200 simpler and more precise. At the same time, compared with ordinary connection holes, the connecting columns 113 formed on the side walls of the weight-reducing groove 112 improve the firmness of the first fastener 500 after installation and also maintain the strength of the overall structure.
[0049] In one embodiment, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided in the installation groove 111, and the connecting columns 113 are arranged between two adjacent reinforcing ribs. The reinforcing ribs can improve the mechanical strength of the installation groove 111. Especially when subjected to large external forces, they can prevent the materials around the installation groove 111 from deforming or breaking. During the process of frequently opening and closing the refrigerator door, the handle 200 will experience multiple stretches and release of stress. The reinforcing ribs can enhance the fatigue resistance of this area, enhance the connection stability between the handle 200 and the door body 10, and extend the service life. Moreover, during the manufacturing processes such as injection molding or stamping of the first end cap 100, the design of the reinforcing ribs can improve the molding stability and reduce production defects.
[0050] In other embodiments, the weight-reducing groove 112 may not be provided, that is, a connecting material is filled between the plurality of connecting columns 113 to improve the structural strength of the first end cap 100.
[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 8 , the panel 300 is connected to the handle 200 and covers the first connecting portion 210.
[0052] The first mating surface 110 faces the panel 300, and the first connecting portion 210 is located behind the panel 300. The panel 300 is configured as a glass panel 300, and the handle 200 is flat and adhered to the panel 300. The contact area between the panel 300 and the handle 200 is large, and the connection between the two is firm and reliable after adhesion. Thus, the connection between the panel 300 and the first end cap 100 is also very firm and reliable. Even if the first end cap 100 undergoes slight deformation, the panel 300 is not easily lifted by the first end cap 100, thereby further reducing the risk of deformation of the door body 10. The panel 300 can also be adhered to the first connecting portion 210 and the first mating surface 110 (the edge of the notch of the installation groove 111) to improve the reliability and stability of the connection between the panel 300 and the end cap assembly.
[0053] After the panel 300 covers the first connecting portion 210, the connection traces between the first connecting portion 210 and the first mating surface 110 can be hidden, such as the notch edge of the installation groove 111, the first fastener 500, the connection hole on the first connecting portion 210 for the first fastener 500 to pass through, etc., so that the appearance of the door body 10 is cleaner and more integrated, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the door body 10. In addition, covering the first connecting portion 210 can reduce the risk of dust, moisture, etc. entering the connecting part, protect the first connecting portion 210 from corrosion or pollution; it can prevent users from accidentally touching the first connecting portion 210 and reduce potential safety hazards caused by the loosening of the handle 200 or the exposure of the first connecting portion 210.
[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figures 7 to 9 , the door body 10 further includes a plurality of second fasteners 600. At least two second fasteners 600 are respectively arranged at both ends in the length direction of the second mating surface 120, and pass through the second connecting portion 220 and the second mating surface 120.
[0055] The plurality of second fasteners 600 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the second mating surface 120, and second fasteners 600 are provided at both ends in the length direction of the second mating surface 120; or second fasteners 600 are only provided at both ends in the length direction of the second mating surface 120. By arranging at least two second fasteners 600 at both ends in the length direction of the second mating surface 120, it can ensure that both ends of the second mating surface 120 in its length direction can be effectively fixed to the second connecting portion 220, thereby increasing the connection stability and connection strength between the handle 200 and the first end cover 100; it can evenly distribute the external force, avoid loosening or deformation caused by excessive single-point force, and improve the durability of the handle 200; after the refrigerator is refrigerated, it can prevent both ends of the first end cover 100 in the length direction from shrinking and deforming towards the middle.
[0056] In other embodiments, the second connecting portion 220 and the second mating surface 120 can be stably connected by means of snap connection, bonding, welding, or secondary injection molding.
[0057] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 9 , the second connecting portion 220 is arranged above the second mating surface 120, and a blind hole 221 is provided on the side facing the second mating surface 120, and the second fastener 600 is connected to the blind hole 221.
[0058] The blind hole 221 provides a definite installation position for the second fastener 600, making the assembly process simpler and more precise, reducing the installation errors caused by inaccurate positioning, and ensuring a firm connection between the second connecting portion 220 and the second mating surface 120. The design of the blind hole 221 enables the second fastener 600 to be completely hidden within the second connecting portion 220 without being exposed, making the appearance of the door body 10 smoother and flatter, which is beneficial to improving the appearance of the door body 10. At the same time, the flat surface can provide a better touch feeling, and users will not feel inconvenient due to the exposed second fastener 600 during use, and also avoid the risk of the second fastener 600 being collided or damaged by external objects.
[0059] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 , on the side of the second mating surface 120 away from the first mating surface 110, there is a step portion 130 provided with a positioning hole 131, and on the side edge of the second connecting portion 220 away from the first connecting portion 210, there is a positioning portion 222, and the positioning portion 222 is inserted into the positioning hole 131.
[0060] Through the cooperation of the positioning hole 131 and the positioning portion 222, the installation process can be simplified. It only needs to align the positioning portion 222 and insert it into the positioning hole 131, avoiding the errors that may be brought by manual alignment, reducing the time and difficulty of alignment, so that the connection hole on the second mating surface 120 can be quickly aligned with the blind hole 221, thereby improving the convenience of installing the second fastener 600. The cooperation of the positioning hole 131 and the positioning portion 222 can reduce the loosening phenomenon caused by vibration or other external forces, enhance the reliability of the connection, and then perform the final fixation through the second fastener 600, with double guarantees to ensure a firm and reliable connection. The design of the step portion 130 can increase the structural strength of the second mating surface 120, and at the same time, the existence of the positioning hole 131 also provides an additional support point for the second connecting portion 220, improving the strength of the connection part.
[0061] In one embodiment, the first end cap 100 is made of a first material, and the handle 200 is made of a second material. The rigidity of the first material is less than that of the second material.
[0062] The first end cap 100 is made of a material with relatively low rigidity, which can absorb part of the impact energy generated by external forces, thereby protecting the door body 10 and other components from damage; the softer first material can provide a better feel. Especially when the user opens the refrigerator door, the material with relatively low rigidity can increase the comfort of the touch; it can reduce the impact sound when closing the door, making the opening and closing actions of the door quieter; the material with relatively low rigidity has a lower density, so using the first material can reduce the weight of the first end cap 100, and further reduce the weight of the entire door body 10; using a cheaper material as the first material can reduce the manufacturing cost to a certain extent. The handle 200 is made of a second material with relatively high rigidity, which can ensure the stability and durability of the handle 200 during use, and it is not easy to deform or damage even after frequent use. Since the handle 200 is made of a second material with relatively high rigidity, and the first mating surface 110 and the second mating surface 120 of the adjacent first end cap 100 are respectively connected to the first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 of the handle 200, the handle 200 with relatively high rigidity can effectively increase the rigidity of the overall structure of the door body 10 after being connected to the first end cap 100, thereby reducing the risk of deformation of the door body 10.
[0063] In one embodiment, the first material is configured as plastic and the second material is configured as metal.
[0064] Plastic materials are usually less costly than metal materials. Using plastic as the material of the first end cap 100 can reduce the manufacturing cost and make the overall cost of the door body 10 more controllable; the density of plastic materials is lower than that of metal materials. Using plastic to make the first end cap 100 can reduce the weight of the door body 10, making it easier to open and close the door; plastic materials are relatively soft and will not be as hard as metal in case of accidental collision, which can reduce the risk of harm to people; the sound generated by plastic materials when closing the door is usually smaller than that of metal materials, which can reduce the noise level when the door body 10 is opened and closed; plastic materials can be processed by injection molding and other methods, and it is easy to manufacture complex shapes and delicate surface textures, providing more possibilities for design; if the first end cap 100 made of plastic material shows aging or damage, the replacement cost is relatively low and the maintenance is more convenient. The handle 200 made of metal material has high rigidity and wear resistance, can withstand repeated pulling and use pressure, is not easy to deform or damage, and extends the service life; the surface of the handle 200 made of metal material can be polished, chrome-plated, etc. to enhance the feel and aesthetics, and improve the appearance quality of the refrigerator. By using a plastic material with relatively low rigidity for the first end cap 100, part of the impact force can be absorbed, while a metal material with relatively high rigidity is used for the handle 200 part that bears higher loads, which can improve the overall performance of the door body 10.
[0065] The first material can specifically be selected from polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, ABS resin, etc.; the second material can specifically be selected from stainless steel, aluminum alloy, chrome-plated aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, copper or brass, etc. In other embodiments, the first material can also be a composite material of fiber and resin combination, rubber or silica gel, etc.; the second material can also be carbon fiber reinforced plastic, glass fiber reinforced plastic, ceramic, glass, etc.
[0066] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , the door body 400 includes two opposite columns 410, the first end cap 100 is disposed between the two columns 410 and at one end of the columns 410, and at least one of the first mating surface 110 and the second mating surface 120 is connected to each column 410.
[0067] The two columns 410 are oppositely arranged and the first end cap 100 is disposed between the two columns 410. The two columns 410 can cover the two ends in the length direction of the first end cap 100, which can enhance the stability of the overall structure of the door body 10, increase the load-bearing capacity of the door body 10, better support the weight of the door body 10, and ensure that the door body 10 does not shake when opening and closing. The setting of the columns 410 can enhance the structural strength of the door body 10, reduce deformation or damage caused by external forces, and improve the use safety. In other embodiments, it can also be that the first end cap 100 is disposed on the end surface of the same end of the two columns 410, and the two columns 410 are correspondingly connected to the two ends in the length direction of the first end cap 100.
[0068] At least one of the first mating surface 110 and the second mating surface 120 is connected to each column 410, which increases the connection strength and stability between the first end cap 100 and the column 410, thereby increasing the stiffness of the overall structure of the door body 10. When both the first mating surface 110 and the second mating surface 120 are connected to the column 410, the first end cap 100 is less likely to deform under the firm connection with the column 410. The panel 300 is firmly connected to the first end cap 100 through the handle 200, and the column 410 is firmly connected to the first end cap 100, so that the connection between the panel 300 and the column 410 is relatively more stable and reliable, further reducing the risk of relatively large gaps caused by relative displacement between the panel 300 and the door body 400, and further reducing the risk of deformation of the door body 10, so as to increase the yield rate and reduce the rejection of defective products.
[0069] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , the end cap assembly further includes a second end cap 700. The first end cap 100 and the second end cap 700 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the column 410. The second end cap 700 has an adjacent third mating surface and a fourth mating surface, and each column 410 is respectively connected to the third mating surface and the fourth mating surface.
[0070] The first end cover 100, the second end cover 700 and two columns 410 together form a frame structure. The first end cover 100 is located at the upper end of the column 410 and serves as the upper end cover of the door body 400; the second end cover 700 is located at the lower end of the column 410 and serves as the lower end cover of the door body 400. The first end cover 100 and the second end cover 700 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the column 410, making the structure of the entire door body 10 more symmetrical and improving the stability, balance and aesthetics of the structure of the door body 10. The column 410 is connected to the third mating surface through a third fastener and to the fourth mating surface through a fourth fastener, further enhancing the connection strength and stability between the column 410 and the second end cover 700, thereby increasing the stiffness of the overall structure of the door body 10; the second end cover 700 is not easily deformed under the firm connection with the column 410, thereby reducing the risk of a large gap caused by relative displacement between the panel 300 and the door body 400, and further reducing the risk of deformation of the door body 10. One of the third mating surface and the fourth mating surface is a horizontal plane and the other is a vertical plane. Further, the third mating surface as a vertical plane can be the end face in the length direction of the second end cover 700 or the side face of the second end cover 700 facing the panel 300, so that the panel 300 can cover the connection holes and the third fasteners on the second end cover 700, and the connection holes and the fourth fasteners on the fourth mating surface can also be hidden at the bottom of the door body 10, thereby improving the appearance of the door body 10.
