Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cabinet door accessories technology, and in particular to a close-fitting accessory. Background Technology
[0002] Cabinet door fittings typically include sealing strips, which are components used to ensure a good seal when the cabinet door is closed. They are usually made of soft rubber, silicone, or plastic. In traditional cabinet doors, dust and debris typically fall into the expansion joint at the top of the sealing strip due to gravity during opening and closing. Over time, a lot of dust and debris accumulates in this joint. Because expansion joints are usually narrow, they are difficult to clean effectively with ordinary cleaning tools, easily leaving residue that affects the sealing strip's effectiveness and the normal operation of the cabinet door. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that, during the opening and closing of traditional cabinet doors, dust and debris typically fall into the expansion joint at the top of the sealing gasket due to gravity. Over time, this residue can easily accumulate, affecting the effectiveness of the sealing strip and the normal operation of the cabinet door. This invention proposes a seamless fitting.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a close-fitting accessory, including a cabinet door and a sealing strip body installed on the cabinet door, and further including: a dirt-receiving strip, which is movably installed on the top of the sealing strip body to collect dust and debris falling due to gravity; a side expansion groove provided on the side wall of the sealing strip body, the top of the side expansion groove having multiple fixing holes; and a buckle mechanism fixedly connected to both ends of the dirt-receiving strip, which is installed after being snapped into the corresponding fixing holes.
[0005] Optionally, the buckling mechanism includes multiple fitting telescopic grooves that fit tightly against the top telescopic groove on the dirt receiving strip. Rotating paddles are fixedly connected to both ends of the fitting telescopic grooves, and positioning blocks that engage with fixing holes are fixedly connected to the ends of the rotating paddles away from the fitting telescopic grooves.
[0006] Optionally, a plurality of limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the top surface of the sealing strip body, and a plurality of limiting slots are provided on the dirt receiving strip for the limiting blocks to engage.
[0007] Optionally, a lifting card is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating paddle away from the fitting telescopic groove.
[0008] Optionally, the positioning block has a guide ball head at the end away from the rotating paddle that is first inserted into the fixing hole.
[0009] Optionally, each of the fitting expansion grooves is provided with a magnetic pad inside, and the material of the fitting expansion groove is a rubber mixture of iron powder that attracts the magnetic pad.
[0010] Optionally, a connecting pad is fixedly connected to one side of the sealing strip body, a sealing clip is fixedly connected to the connecting pad, and an installation groove is provided on the cabinet door for the sealing clip to be inserted.
[0011] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0012] This invention utilizes a combination of a dirt-receiving strip, a side telescopic groove, a fixing hole, and a snap-fit mechanism. The dirt-receiving strip can be quickly installed and removed from the top of the sealing strip body, making it easy to clean the dust and debris accumulated on the top of the sealing strip.

[0024] Example
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model proposes a seamless fitting, including a cabinet door and a sealing strip body 1 installed on the cabinet door. The sealing strip body 1 is hollow and expands when pressed against the refrigerator door, achieving not only a sealing function but also cushioning and shock absorption. The cabinet door is a refrigerator. Multiple limiting blocks 103 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the sealing strip body 1, and a connecting pad 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the sealing strip body 1. A sealing strip 3 is fixedly connected to the connecting pad 2 and is snapped onto the refrigerator door. The cabinet door has an installation groove for the sealing strip 3 to be inserted into, and a dirt-receiving strip 4 has multiple limiting slots 403 for the limiting blocks 103 to be inserted into. The limiting blocks 103 and the limiting slots 403 interlock, serving to position the dirt-receiving strip 4 precisely at the top of the sealing strip body 1, without deviating from the designated installation position. It also includes a dirt-receiving strip 4, made of rubber, the same material as the sealing strip body 1. The movable part is installed on the top of the sealing strip body 1 to catch dust and debris falling due to gravity; the side expansion groove 104 is set on the side wall of the sealing strip body 1, and the top of the side expansion groove 104 has multiple fixing holes 102; the two ends of the dirt receiving strip 4 are fixedly connected to the multiple locking mechanisms that are inserted into the corresponding fixing holes 102 and installed. The advantages of quick disassembly and easy cleaning are that it can also easily and timely clean up the accumulated material and prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.
[0026] Furthermore, the snap-fit mechanism includes multiple fitting telescopic grooves 401 on the dirt-receiving strip 4 that are tightly fitted to the top telescopic groove 101. The fitting telescopic grooves 401 are the same size as the top telescopic groove 101 but are positioned differently on the sealing strip body 1. Rotating paddles 402 are fixedly connected to both ends of the fitting telescopic grooves 401. A lifting card 405 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating paddles 402 away from the fitting telescopic grooves 401. The lifting card 405 provides a point of leverage for fingers or tools. Positioning blocks 404 that engage with fixing holes 102 are fixedly connected to the ends of the rotating paddles 402 away from the fitting telescopic grooves 401. A guide ball head 406, which is inserted into the fixing hole 102, is provided at the end of the positioning block 404 away from the rotating paddles 402. The guide ball head 406 makes insertion into the fixing hole 102 easier and more convenient.
[0027] Furthermore, the interior of the expansion joint 401 is equipped with magnetic pads 1011. Magnetic pads 1011 are magnetic pads, typically made of soft material, with magnetic substances embedded inside or on their surface. The expansion joint 401 is made of iron powder mixed with rubber, which attracts the magnetic pads 1011. This iron powder mixed rubber contains magnetic iron powder, and when it comes into contact with magnetic materials (such as magnetic pads), it is attracted. Therefore, when the expansion joint 401 and the magnetic pads 1011 attract each other, the adsorption surfaces adhere better, further enhancing the adsorption effect.
[0028] In this embodiment, when the cabinet door requires the use of tight-fitting fittings, such as Figure 1 As shown, after prolonged use, dust and debris accumulate on the top of the sealing strip body 1 due to gravity. At this point, a tool can be used to insert the lifting clip 405 at the end of the rotating paddle 402 and simultaneously lift it upwards, causing the lifting clip 405 to pull the rotating paddle 402 and the guide ball head 406 out of the fixing hole 102. The same operation can be performed on all rotating paddles 402 at both ends of the dirt-receiving strip 4 until the dirt-receiving strip 4 can move on the top of the sealing strip body 1. Then, the dirt-receiving strip 4 can pull the fitting expansion groove 401 out of the top expansion groove 101 on the top of the sealing strip body 1. Finally, the accumulated dust and debris on the dirt-receiving strip 4 and the fitting expansion groove 401 can be cleaned. Installation is the reverse of the above operation, which will not be elaborated here.
[0029] The preferred embodiments of this utility model described above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
