Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator technology, and in particular to a refrigerator door handle structure. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional refrigerators are typically equipped with one or more handles for opening and closing the door. These handles generally only provide a basic function: the user pulls the handle to overcome the suction force of the door seal, thereby opening or closing the refrigerator door.

[0003] However, in certain special application scenarios, such as when the refrigerator is not used for a long time, users may want to keep the door open at a slight angle to allow for air circulation and prevent mold growth and odors. Existing refrigerator doors generally only provide a seal when closed and do not allow users to easily set the opening angle. When the refrigerator door is open, there is no specific structure to hold it in place, and the door is prone to swaying when touched by external objects or blown by the wind. This can not only cause inconvenience but may also cause items inside the refrigerator to shake or even fall out.

[0004] This utility model is based on the above-mentioned circumstances. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a refrigerator door handle structure that can maintain a certain opening angle on the refrigerator door to allow ventilation inside the refrigerator.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A refrigerator door handle structure includes a refrigerator body, a first latching part on the refrigerator body and a door body rotatably connected thereto, a door handle seat connected to the door body, a rotating block connected to the door handle seat, a latching block on the rotating block that can engage or unlock with the first latching part when it is flipped, a second latching part on the latching block that can engage with the first latching part to keep the door body closed, and a third latching part on the latching block that can engage with the first latching part to keep the door body at a preset opening angle.

[0008] In the refrigerator door handle structure described above, the rotating block and the door body are provided with an elastic reset member that can push the rotating block toward the first locking part.

[0009] In the refrigerator door handle structure described above, the first latching part includes a latching plate disposed on the refrigerator body.

[0010] In the refrigerator door handle structure described above, the second engaging portion includes a step or groove disposed on the engaging block and capable of engaging with the engaging plate.

[0011] In the refrigerator door handle structure described above, the third latching part includes a latching groove on the latching block, and the distance between the latching groove and the refrigerator body is less than the distance between the step and the refrigerator body.

[0012] As described above, in a refrigerator door handle structure, the slot is a strip-shaped groove that is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle.

[0013] As described above, in a refrigerator door handle structure, the door handle seat is provided with a mounting groove for the door body to be inserted.

[0014] As described above, in a refrigerator door handle structure, the door handle seat is provided with a clearance to allow space for the rotating block to rotate.

[0015] In the refrigerator door handle structure described above, the rotating block and the door handle seat are an integral structure.

[0016] As described above, in a refrigerator door handle structure, the upper surface of the door handle seat is provided with two slots spaced apart, and the rotating block is separated from the two slots by an clearance gap.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] This application, through the cooperation between the second and first locking parts, ensures a tight seal between the refrigerator door and the main body when the door is fully closed, thereby enhancing the door's sealing effect. This helps maintain a stable internal temperature, improves energy efficiency, and prevents moisture from entering the refrigerator, reducing the risk of frost and mold growth. Users can control the position of the locking blocks with a simple pressing action to quickly lock or unlock the door. The third locking part allows the door to be fixed at a preset angle after opening, avoiding the problem of the door swinging randomly due to external forces. When the refrigerator is powered off, it can keep the door at a fixed opening angle, allowing for better internal air circulation, helping to limit the decay of items and the growth of mold.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 The refrigerator door handle structure shown includes a refrigerator body 1, a first engaging part 11 connected to the refrigerator body 1, and a door body 2 rotatably connected to the refrigerator body 1. A door handle base 3 is connected to the door body 2, and a rotating block 4 is connected to the door handle base 3. The rotating block 4 has a locking block 41 that can engage or unlock with the first engaging part 11 when it is rotated. The locking block 41 has a second locking part 411 that can engage with the first locking part 11 to keep the door body 2 closed. The locking block 41 also has a third locking part 412 that can engage with the first locking part 11 to maintain a certain opening angle of the door body 2. The door handle base 3 has a clearance gap 32 to provide space for the rotating block 4 to rotate.

[0028] This application, through the cooperation between the second latching part 411 and the first latching part 11, ensures that the refrigerator door 2 can fit tightly against the refrigerator body 1 when fully closed, thereby enhancing the sealing effect of the door 2. This helps maintain a stable internal temperature, improves energy efficiency, and prevents moisture from the outside air from entering, reducing the risk of frost and mold growth. Users can control the position of the latch 41 with a simple pressing action to quickly lock or unlock the door 2. The third latching part 412 allows the door 2 to be fixed at a preset angle after opening, avoiding the problem of the door 2 swinging randomly due to external force. When the refrigerator is powered off, it can keep the refrigerator door 2 at a fixed opening angle, allowing the internal air to circulate better, helping to limit the decay of items and the growth of mold.

[0029] In one embodiment, the rotating block 4 and the door 2 are provided with an elastic reset member 413 that can push the rotating block 4 towards the first latching part 11. Because the elastic reset member 413 provides continuous pressure, the latching block 41 can firmly contact the first latching part 11, thereby enhancing the stability and security of the door 2 after it is closed. Even in the event of slight vibration or external force, the latching block 41 is not easily unlocked accidentally, ensuring the stability of the internal environment of the refrigerator. The elastic reset member 413 can be a reset spring or an elastic sheet.

[0030] Furthermore, the elastic reset member 413 is provided with a fixed insertion hole, and the rotating block 4 is provided with a post 40 that can be inserted into the insertion hole to restrict the sliding of the elastic reset member 413.

[0031] In one embodiment, the first latching part 11 includes a latching plate disposed on the refrigerator body 1. The latching plate has a latching groove 111 for the latching block to be inserted. The second latching part 411 includes a step or groove disposed on the latching block 41 and capable of latching with the latching plate. The third latching part 412 includes a latching slot disposed on the latching block 41, the distance between the latching slot and the refrigerator body 1 being smaller than the distance between the step and the refrigerator body 1. This allows the door 2 to maintain a certain opening angle after the latching plate is inserted into the latching slot.

[0032] Furthermore, the slot is a strip-shaped groove that is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle. This allows the handle structure to function whether it is installed on the door body 2 that flips to the left or right.

[0033] In one embodiment, the door handle base 3 is provided with a mounting groove 31 for the door body 2 to be inserted. The mounting groove 31 provides a precise positioning point for the door body 2, ensuring a tight fit between the door handle base 3 and the door body 2. This not only enhances the mechanical strength of the connection between the two but also effectively prevents the door body 2 from shifting or shaking due to external forces during use, thus improving the stability of the overall structure. Furthermore, the door handle base 3 can be connected to the door body 2 using threaded fasteners or other connection structures such as adhesive.

[0034] In one embodiment, the rotating block 4 and the door handle seat 3 are an integral structure. This integral structure eliminates the connection points that may exist in traditional split structures, reducing the risk of loosening or separation between components. This not only improves the mechanical strength of the entire handle assembly but also enhances its durability and reliability. The one-piece molding manufacturing process reduces the number of parts and lowers assembly complexity. This means fewer assembly steps and lower production costs, while also reducing quality problems caused by assembly errors.

[0035] In one embodiment, the upper surface of the door handle seat 3 is provided with two slots 33 spaced apart, and the rotating block 4 is separated from the two slots 33 by a clearance gap 32. The design of the slots 33 and the clearance gap 32 provides the necessary space for the rotating block 4 to rotate or swing freely within a certain range. This not only ensures that the locking block 41 can smoothly engage or unlock with the first locking part 11, but also allows the user to control the state of the door body 2 through a simple flipping action. Guided by the slots 33, the movement path of the rotating block 4 is clearly defined, ensuring that it accurately reaches the predetermined position in each operation. This design helps to improve the reliability of the engagement and unlocking process and reduce operation failures caused by positional deviations.
