Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of home appliance technology, and in particular to a refrigerator door and a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, users are becoming increasingly demanding in terms of the appearance of home appliances. Refrigerators, as common and large household appliances, are receiving more and more attention from users regarding the design of their doors. Traditional refrigerator doors have a rather monotonous appearance, making it difficult to adapt to different installation styles and meet consumers' personalized needs.

[0003] Existing built-in refrigerators are mainly divided into three types: freestanding, flush-mounted, and fully integrated. Users can only choose one of these three categories when selecting a built-in refrigerator. If a user selects a freestanding or flush-mounted type, a fully integrated type is not applicable. When a user selects a fully integrated type, the user needs to pre-order the refrigerator door trim panel, which is then glued to the refrigerator door during manufacturing using a specific adhesive, making the refrigerator fully integrated into the cabinet. Users cannot change the usage scenario according to their needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a refrigerator door and refrigerator that can be replaced with different usage states according to needs.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A refrigerator door, comprising:

[0007] The refrigerator door itself has an exterior facade;

[0008] A decorative door panel is provided in the area of ​​the exterior facade and is detachably connected to the refrigerator door body to cover the exterior facade.

[0009] The refrigerator door has a first usage state and a second usage state. When the refrigerator door is in the first usage state, the decorative door panel is removed from the refrigerator door body, and the refrigerator door body is used to be installed on the refrigerator cabinet to form a refrigerator. When the refrigerator door is in the second usage state, the decorative door panel is connected to the refrigerator door body, and the refrigerator door body with the decorative door panel connected is used to be installed on the refrigerator cabinet to form a refrigerator. The refrigerator can be fully embedded in the cabinet.

[0010] Understandably, by setting a decorative door panel that can be detachably connected to the refrigerator door body, the refrigerator door can have two usage states. When the refrigerator door is in the first usage state, there is no need to install the decorative door panel, allowing the refrigerator to be used in either flush-mounted or free-mounted scenarios. When the refrigerator door needs to be fully embedded in the cabinet, the decorative door panel can be installed on the refrigerator door body. Through the detachable decorative door panel, users can change the usage state of the refrigerator door according to different scenarios, so that the refrigerator with this door can be adapted to different style installation scenarios.

[0011] In one embodiment, the decorative door panel can be attached to the exterior facade.

[0012] In one embodiment, the refrigerator door further includes a connecting frame, the connecting frame including a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate, the second connecting plate being vertically connected to the first connecting plate;

[0013] The first connecting plate is attached to and connected to the decorative door panel, and the second connecting plate is attached to and connected to the refrigerator door body.

[0014] In one embodiment, the refrigerator door body includes a refrigerator door body and a decorative cover plate, wherein the decorative cover plate is disposed at the top and / or bottom of the refrigerator door body;

[0015] The connecting frame is correspondingly arranged with the decorative cover plate, and the second connecting plate is arranged between the refrigerator door body and the corresponding decorative cover plate.

[0016] Understandably, by installing decorative covers at the top and / or bottom of the refrigerator door body, the internal connecting structure of the refrigerator door can be concealed, thus ensuring the aesthetics of the refrigerator door.

[0017] In one embodiment, along the height direction of the refrigerator door, the decorative cover is disposed on the outer side of the corresponding first connecting plate, and the decorative cover can abut and limit the movement of the decorative door panel.

[0018] Understandably, by placing the decorative cover on the outside of the corresponding first connecting plate, the decorative cover can completely cover the first connecting plate, ensuring the aesthetics of the refrigerator door.

[0019] In one embodiment, the number of decorative covers is configured as two, one of which is disposed at the top of the refrigerator door body and the other of which is disposed at the bottom of the refrigerator door body.

[0020] In one embodiment, the mounting position of the second connecting plate on the refrigerator door body can be adjusted along the width direction of the refrigerator door body to adjust the mounting position of the decorative door panel on the refrigerator door body.

[0021] Understandably, by using a second connecting plate whose mounting position is adjustable on the refrigerator door body, the position between the decorative door panel and the outer cabinet door can be adjusted when the refrigerator door is in its second use state. Therefore, the distance between the decorative door panel and the adjacent cabinet door can be adjusted to meet the different needs of users for the position of the decorative door panel.

[0022] In one embodiment, an elongated hole is provided on the second connecting plate;

[0023] The refrigerator door also includes a connector, which passes through the elongated hole and is screwed to the refrigerator door body to press and limit the second connecting plate onto the refrigerator door body.

[0024] It is understandable that by setting elongated holes, the decorative door panel can be adjusted in the width direction during installation, so that when the refrigerator door is in its second use state, the distance between the decorative door panel and the cabinet doors on both sides can be adjusted when the decorative door panel is fully embedded in the cabinet.

[0025] In one embodiment, the first connecting plate is threaded to the decorative door panel.

[0026] This application also provides the following technical solutions:

[0027] A refrigerator includes a refrigerator door as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0028] Compared with existing technologies, the refrigerator door has two usage states by setting a decorative door panel that can be detachably connected to the refrigerator door body. When the refrigerator door is set alone, there is no need to install the decorative door panel, which can be used for either flush-mounted or free-mounted scenarios. When the refrigerator door needs to be fully embedded in the cabinet, the decorative door panel can be installed on the refrigerator door body. Through the detachable decorative door panel, users can change the usage state of the refrigerator door according to different scenarios, so that the refrigerator can adapt to different style installation scenarios.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a refrigerator door 100, which includes a refrigerator door body 10 and a decorative door panel 20. The refrigerator door body 10 has an outer facade 11. The decorative door panel 20 is disposed in the area of ​​the outer facade 11 and is detachably connected to the refrigerator door body 10 for covering the outer facade 11. The refrigerator door 100 has a first use state and a second use state. When the refrigerator door 100 is in the first use state, the decorative door panel 20 is removed from the refrigerator door body 10, and the refrigerator door body 10 is used to be installed on a refrigerator cabinet (not shown) to form a refrigerator (not shown). When the refrigerator door 100 is in the second use state, the decorative door panel 20 is connected to the refrigerator door body 10, and the refrigerator door body 10 with the decorative door panel 20 connected is used to be installed on the refrigerator cabinet to form a refrigerator, wherein the refrigerator can be fully embedded in the cabinet.

[0042] As can be seen from the above, by setting a decorative door panel 20 that is detachably connected to the refrigerator door body 10, the refrigerator door 100 has two usage states. When the refrigerator door 100 is in the first usage state, there is no need to install the decorative door panel 20, allowing the refrigerator to be used in either a flush-mounted or free-mounted configuration. When the refrigerator door 100 needs to be fully embedded in the cabinet, the decorative door panel 20 can be installed on the refrigerator door body 10. Through the detachable decorative door panel 20, users can change the usage state of the refrigerator door 100 according to different scenarios, enabling the refrigerator to adapt to different installation styles. Here, the outer facade 11 of the refrigerator door body 10 refers to the side of the refrigerator door 100 that can be seen from the outside when looking at the refrigerator in the first usage state.

[0043] In one embodiment, the refrigerator door body 10 includes a refrigerator door body 12 and a decorative cover plate 13, the decorative cover plate 13 being disposed at the top and / or bottom of the refrigerator door body 12; the refrigerator door 100 also includes a connecting frame 30, the connecting frame 30 including a first connecting plate 31 and a second connecting plate 32, the first connecting plate 31 being connected to the decorative door panel 20, and the second connecting plate 32 being connected to the refrigerator door body 10; wherein, the connecting frame 30 and the decorative cover plate 13 are correspondingly disposed, and the second connecting plate 32 is disposed between the refrigerator door body 12 and the corresponding decorative cover plate 13. By providing the decorative cover plate 13 at the top and / or bottom of the refrigerator door body 12, when the refrigerator door 100 is in a first use state, the decorative cover plate 13 can make the outer contour of the refrigerator flat, and when the refrigerator door 100 is in a second use state, the decorative cover plate 13 can cover the connecting frame 30. The design of the decorative cover plate 13 ensures that the internal connection structure of the refrigerator door 100 is not exposed regardless of whether the refrigerator door 100 is in the first use state or the second use state.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, along the height direction z of the refrigerator door 100, a decorative cover 13 is disposed on the outer side of the corresponding first connecting plate 31, and the decorative cover 13 can abut against and limit the movement of the decorative door panel 20. By disposing the decorative cover 13 on the outer side of the corresponding first connecting plate 31, the decorative cover 13 can completely cover the first connecting plate 31. Through the abutment and limiting movement between the decorative cover 13 and the decorative door panel 20, when the refrigerator door 100 is in the second use state, the decorative cover 13 can completely cover the internal structure.

[0045] Here, the decorative cover 13 can be fixed to the refrigerator door body 12 by means of threaded connection, snap-on connection, magnetic connection, etc.

[0046] In this embodiment, two decorative cover plates 13 are configured, one of which is located at the top of the refrigerator door body 12, and the other is located at the bottom of the refrigerator door body 12.

Through the vertically arranged first connecting plate 31 and second connecting plate 32, the decorative door panel 20 can be fixed to the refrigerator door body 10, achieving a detachable connection between the decorative door panel 20 and the refrigerator door body 10.

[0048] Here, the first connecting plate 31 can be connected to the decorative door panel 20 by welding, snap-fit ​​connection, threaded connection, etc., and the second connecting plate 32 can be detachably connected to the refrigerator door body 10 by snap-fit ​​connection, threaded connection, etc.

[0049] In this embodiment, the refrigerator door 100 includes two connecting brackets 30, which are located at the upper and lower ends of the refrigerator in the height direction z. Each connecting bracket 30 includes a first connecting plate 31 and three second connecting plates 32. The first connecting plate 31 is threaded to the decorative door panel 20. The three second connecting plates 32 are perpendicular to and fixedly connected to the second connecting plate 32, and the spacing between the three second connecting plates 32 is equal. The second connecting plates 32 are detachably connected to the refrigerator door body 10 using screws. In other embodiments, only one connecting bracket 30 may be provided, and the number of first connecting plates 31 and second connecting plates 32 may be multiple, such as two, three, or four.

[0050] Furthermore, the combined action of the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 enables the decorative door panel 20 to be attached to the exterior facade 11.

[0051] In one embodiment, the mounting position of the second connecting plate 32 on the refrigerator door body 10 along the width direction x can be adjusted to adjust the mounting position of the decorative door panel 20 on the refrigerator door body 10. By providing the second connecting plate 32 with an adjustable mounting position on the refrigerator door body 10, the position between the decorative door panel 20 and the outer cabinet door can be adjusted when the refrigerator door 100 is in a second usage state. Therefore, the distance between the decorative door panel 20 and adjacent cabinet doors can be adjusted to meet different user needs regarding the position of the decorative door panel 20.

[0052] Here, the installation position of the decorative door panel 20 on the refrigerator door body 10 can be adjusted by setting a height-adjustable second connecting plate 32 or by setting shims.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the second connecting plate 32 has an elongated hole 321. The refrigerator door 100 also includes a connector (not shown), which passes through the elongated hole 321 and is screwed onto the refrigerator door body 10 to press and limit the second connecting plate 32 onto the refrigerator door body 10. By providing the elongated hole 321, the decorative door panel 20 can be adjusted in the width direction x during installation, allowing the distance between the decorative door panel 20 and the cabinet doors on both sides to be adjusted when the refrigerator door 100 is fully embedded in the cabinet in the second usage state. Here, the connector can be a screw, connecting pin, or other similar structure.

[0054] This application also provides the following technical solutions:

[0055] A refrigerator includes a refrigerator door 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0056] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way.
