Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of commercial refrigerator technology, and more particularly to a labor-saving door-opening refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] A refrigerator is a refrigeration device that maintains a constant low temperature. It is also a consumer product that keeps food or other items at a constant low temperature. The refrigerator contains a compressor and an ice maker for freezing, and is a storage box with a refrigeration unit.

[0003] Most refrigerators on the market today use traditional magnetic door seals to achieve a good seal between the inside and outside of the refrigerator. However, due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the refrigerator, the resulting air pressure difference requires overcoming a large suction force when opening the door, which causes inconvenience to users.

[0004] Traditional solutions mainly involve increasing the peeling force of the door seal magnetic strip or using a more powerful door opening mechanism. However, these methods often increase manufacturing costs and may damage the sealing effect. Existing refrigerator door opening designs have failed to effectively solve the problem of difficulty in opening the door caused by the pressure difference between the inside and outside. Therefore, users still need to apply considerable force when opening the refrigerator door.

[0005] Therefore, this application proposes a refrigerator that requires less effort to open. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application proposes a labor-saving refrigerator door opening mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. When opening the door, the user places their hand on the push block and pushes lightly, causing one end of the lever to extend into the groove. This creates a gap between the door seal and the front panel of the refrigerator, releasing pressure. After releasing pressure, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the door is eliminated. With a small force applied by the user, a gap can be created between the refrigerator body and the door. Therefore, by breaking the local attraction of the magnetic strip, the refrigerator door can be opened with a very light pulling force. This lever device is ingeniously designed and does not affect the overall aesthetics or sealing performance of the refrigerator. By introducing the lever principle, this technology significantly reduces the force required to open the refrigerator door, making operation more convenient and improving the user experience. At the same time, the design of the automatic reset mechanism makes the door opening mechanism more reusable, extending the product's service life and greatly improving the practicality of the device.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0012] The device extends into the slide groove through the mounting cylinder, and the two rollers slide along the inner wall of the slide groove by the return spring, creating a gap between the door seal and the front panel of the refrigerator to release pressure, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, an inner sealing assembly is provided between the housing and the door. The inner sealing assembly includes a first main sealing strip and a second main sealing strip. The first main sealing strip and the second main sealing strip are respectively fixedly connected to the contact surfaces of the housing and the door, and the first main sealing strip and the second main sealing strip are sealed together.

[0014] By setting up an internal sealing component, a first main sealing strip, and a second main sealing strip, a good sealing effect is achieved between the box and the door, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, an external sealing assembly is provided between the housing and the door. The external sealing assembly includes a first auxiliary sealing strip and a second auxiliary sealing strip. The first auxiliary sealing strip and the second auxiliary sealing strip are respectively fixedly connected to the contact surfaces of the housing and the door, and the first auxiliary sealing strip and the second auxiliary sealing strip are sealed together.

[0016] By setting an external sealing component, a first auxiliary sealing strip, and a second auxiliary sealing strip, the sealing performance between the box and the door is further increased, the sealing effect is enhanced, and the practicality of the device is improved.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing assembly is provided inside the door body and outside the lever, the sealing assembly including a sealing ring, the sealing ring being fixedly connected inside the door body and outside the lever;

[0018] By setting up sealing components and sealing rings, the sealing between the lever and the door is strengthened, ensuring that the cold air inside the cabinet does not easily leak out, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0020] 1. This type of effortless door-opening refrigerator allows the user to open the door by placing their hand on the push block and gently pushing. This causes one end of the lever to extend into the groove, creating a gap between the door seal and the refrigerator's front panel and releasing pressure. After releasing the pressure, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the door is eliminated. With only a small amount of force applied by the user, a gap can be created between the refrigerator body and the door. Therefore, by breaking the local attraction of the magnetic strip, the refrigerator door can be opened with a very light pulling force. In addition, the lever device is ingeniously designed and does not affect the overall aesthetics or sealing performance of the refrigerator, greatly improving the practicality of the device.
