Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field related to household appliances, and particularly relates to a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] At present, most of the refrigerator doors of multi-door refrigerators on the market adopt the double-door opening method. Among them, a turning beam is used to seal between the left and right refrigerator doors. Generally, the turning beam is installed on one side door, and the top of the turning beam is provided with a guiding tongue. The upper part of the refrigerator inner liner is provided with a guiding groove. When opening and closing the door, the tongue of the turning beam contacts the guiding groove on the upper part of the inner liner of the refrigerator, so as to realize the turning of the turning beam.

[0003] Among them, the refrigerator door is connected to the refrigerator body through a hinge. When opening and closing the refrigerator door, the refrigerator door is fixed only by one fulcrum of the hinge, which is equivalent to that the refrigerator door is a cantilever body. However, the problem that has always existed in the refrigerator door with the above structure is that when heavy objects such as bottles and drinks are placed on the refrigerator door, and due to the influence of natural gravity and long-term use impact of the refrigerator door, the hinge used to connect the refrigerator door to the refrigerator body sinks and deforms downward. The downward deformation of the hinge will cause the overall sinking of the refrigerator door, and the turning beam follows the sinking of the refrigerator door, so that the tongue on the turning beam does not contact the guiding groove, resulting in the failure of the turning beam and the inability to turn, and the refrigerator door cannot be normally closed, affecting the refrigeration effect and user experience. Summary of the Utility Model

The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0044] The refrigerator 100 for which this application claims protection specifically refers to a double-door refrigerator.

[0045] As Figures 1 to 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the refrigerator 100 provided by this application includes a box body 10 and a door body 20. A groove 11 is formed on the box body 10; the door body 20 has a first side 201 and a second side 202. The first side 201 and the second side 202 are arranged on both sides in the width direction of the door body 20. The part of the door body 20 located on the first side 201 can be rotatably connected to the box body 10 through a hinge. A door body slide post 21 is provided at the bottom position of the second side 202 of the door body 20. The door body slide post 21 is arranged to match the groove 11, and the door body slide post 21 can be inserted into and cooperate with the groove 11 under the drive of the door body 20 to provide an upward first acting force for the door body 20 in the height direction of the door body 20. Here, the above-mentioned door body 20 is the door body 20 of the refrigerator equipped with a flip beam 40. It should be noted that a guide seat 12 is provided on the box body 10 of the refrigerator 100 of this application, and a flip beam 40 is provided at the position of the second side 202 of the door body 20. The flip beam 40 has a guide tongue 41, and the guide tongue 41 can be inserted into and cooperate with the guide seat 12.

[0046] As can be seen from the above, by using the insertion and cooperation between the door body slide post 21 on the door body 20 and the groove 11 on the box body 10, the box body 10 can provide an upward first acting force for the closing door body 20, which can make up for the sinking of the door body 20 caused by hinge deformation and ensure that the door body 20 can be normally closed, thereby improving the refrigeration effect and user experience of the refrigerator 100; at the same time, the refrigerator 100 can be slightly modified on the basis of the existing structure, which has the functions of simplifying the structure and low cost.

[0047] It should be noted that, based on the existing refrigerator structure, the refrigerator 100 of the present application can achieve the elevation of the door body 20 after closing the door by adding a door slide post 21 on the door body 20 and opening a groove 11 on the box body 10, so that the sunken door body 20 can return to its original position before sinking, so that the guiding tongue 41 of the turning beam 40 can always contact the guiding seat 12 on the box body 10, and the turning beam 40 will never fail.

[0048] As Figure 4 shown, the groove wall of the groove 11 includes an inclined groove wall 111, and an abutting inclined surface 211 is opened on the door slide post 21. The abutting inclined surface 211 is arranged to match the inclined groove wall 111; when the door slide post 21 is inserted into the groove 11, the abutting inclined surface 211 can abut against the inclined groove wall 111 and slide relative to the inclined groove wall 111, so as to provide a first acting force for the door slide post 21. That is to say, by using the abutting between the inclined groove wall 111 and the abutting inclined surface 211, when the door slide post 21 continues to move towards the box body 10 under the drive of the door body 20, the box body 10 can lift the door slide post 21 by pushing the abutting inclined surface 211 through the inclined groove wall 111. On the one hand, this can simplify the matching structure between the door slide post 21 and the groove 11, and on the other hand, it makes the door slide post 21 have enough margin in the height direction of the door body 20 to ensure that the door slide post 21 is inserted into the groove 11 under the drive of the door body 20. Here, the vertical height of the abutting inclined surface 211 is less than the sinking height after the door body 20 sinks.

[0049] Preferably, as Figure 4 shown, the groove wall of the groove 11 further includes a flat groove wall 112, and the flat groove wall 112 is arranged on the opposite side of the inclined groove wall 111; wherein, the flat groove wall 112 can abut against the door slide post 21 to limit the insertion depth of the door slide post 21 in the groove 11.

[0050] As Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, a door seal strip 22 is connected to the door body 20, and the door body 20 in the closed state can be sealed with the box body 10 through the door seal strip 22. Here, the door slide post 21 is arranged at the lower position outside the door seal strip 22, so that the structural arrangement of the door slide post 21 will not affect the sealing between the door body 20 and the box body 10.

[0051] As Figure 2As shown, the refrigerator 100 further includes an elastic member 50. The elastic member 50 is disposed at the position of the first side 201 of the door body 20 and abuts against the door body 20 in a pre-compressed manner, and is used to provide an upward second acting force to the door body 20 in the height direction of the door body 20. That is to say, the refrigerator 100 can use the elastic member 50 to lift the first side 201 of the door body 20, so as to realize the overall lifting of the door body 20 after closing the door and avoid the door body 20 from being skewed during the lifting process. Here, the elastic member 50 is configured as a compression spring, a rubber sleeve, or other high-elasticity fittings. It should be noted that one end of the elastic member 50 away from the door body 20 abuts against the cabinet 10. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the other end of the elastic member 50 can also abut against the hinge.

[0052] It should be noted that when the elastic member 50 abuts against the door body 20 in a pre-compressed manner, the second acting force provided by the elastic member 50 to the door body 20 is less than the gravity of the door body 20. When the door body 20 is closed and the door slide column 21 on the door body 20 is inserted into the groove 11 on the cabinet 10, due to the inertia of closing the door body 20, the second side 202 of the door body 20 will be lifted by the inclined groove wall 111 on the cabinet 10. At the same time, the force on the door body 20 will change. The door body 20 will overcome the gravity of the door body 20 under the elastic force of the elastic member 50 and the supporting force at the door slide column 21, and realize the overall lifting of the door body 20. As the door body 20 moves upward, the pressure on the elastic member 50 will decrease, and the elastic member 50 will start to deform upward, driving the first side 201 of the door body 20 to move upward. The second side 202 of the door body 20 is driven by the inclined groove wall 111 of the groove 11 on the cabinet 10 to move upward, and the whole door body 20 is lifted upward.

[0053] As Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the hinge includes an upper hinge 31 and a lower hinge 32. The upper hinge 31 and the lower hinge 32 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the door body 20. Among them, the elastic member 50 is disposed at the position of the lower hinge 32, and the assembly of the elastic member 50 on the door body 20 is realized.

[0054] Preferably, as Figure 6 shown, a blocking member 311 is provided on the upper hinge 31. The blocking member 311 can abut against the door body 20 and is used to limit the upward movement of the door body 20 in the height direction of the door body 20. This can prevent the door body 20 from being lifted too high and exceeding the required position, so as to ensure the refrigeration effect and user experience of the refrigerator 100. Here, the blocking member 311 is in a circular ring shape, and the blocking member 311 is integrally connected with the upper hinge 31.

[0055] In summary, the refrigerator 100 of the present application can be slightly redesigned and improved on the basis of the original structure, which has the functions of simplified structure and low cost. Moreover, when the door body 20 is closed, the first acting force provided to the second side 202 of the door body 20 during the insertion and cooperation between the door body slide column 21 on the door body 20 and the groove 11 on the box body 10 is utilized, and the elastic member 50 elastically pushes against the first side 201 of the door body 20, so that both sides of the door body 20 in the width direction of the door body 20 are subjected to forces, and the door body 20 is no longer a cantilever structure. When the door body 20 is closed, the door body 20 is always in a limited position, so that the flipping of the flipping beam 40 will never fail.

[0056] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

[0057] Those of ordinary skill in the art of the present technology should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model, rather than to limit the present utility model. As long as appropriate changes and variations are made to the above embodiments within the scope of the substantial spirit of the present utility model, they fall within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.
