Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerators, in particular to a refrigerator door end cover structure. Background Art

[0002] A refrigerator is a type of refrigeration equipment that maintains a constant low temperature. It is also a civilian product that keeps food or other items at a constant low temperature. The refrigerator contains a compressor, an ice maker (a cabinet or box for freezing ice), and a storage box with a refrigeration device. There are cooling pipes on both sides of the refrigerator. When the compressor is working, heat is generated, and the heat is circulated through the cooling pipes to the outer wall. The refrigerator door end cover is a component structure of the refrigerator.

[0003] Patent document CN103615857A proposes a refrigerator door end cap structure with a shock-absorbing pad, comprising a door end cap with a mounting portion provided thereon, and a shock-absorbing pad provided thereon for preventing the door seal from adsorbing onto the refrigerator body. When the door seal airbag contracts to a certain degree, the surface structure of the shock-absorbing pad contacts the refrigerator body, preventing the door seal from excessively adsorbing onto the refrigerator body, thereby avoiding the difficulty in opening the door due to excessive contraction of the door seal. The end cap structure is easy to install, low-cost, and conducive to widespread use.

[0004] At present, the traditional refrigerator door end cover structure usually directly uses bolts and hinges to limit and fix the refrigerator door end during use. However, when the device faces different user habits or different external assembly environments and needs to change the opening direction of the refrigerator door, it is difficult to disassemble and limit the refrigerator door end, which greatly increases the adjustment time of the refrigerator door end and reduces the practicality of the device. Therefore, a refrigerator door end cover structure is proposed. Utility Model Content
