[0002] With the widespread use of refrigerators, the refrigerator handle, as an important component, bears the responsibility of pulling and carrying during daily use. To ensure the long service life and safety of the handle, the design of the handle must take into account strength, comfort, and convenience. In recent years, the structure of refrigerator handles has been continuously innovated, aiming to improve the stability and safety of the handle. Magnetic closure technology, as an emerging application method, can effectively improve the locking function of the handle and prevent the handle from accidentally falling off or being damaged by external impact during use. At the same time, in order to improve the comfort of use and prevent burns or slippage caused by contact with heat sources or sweat, the comfort and safety of refrigerator handles have also become the focus of design. Through reasonable design, these technologies can be effectively integrated into the refrigerator handle, providing users with a safer and more convenient user experience.
[0003] Most existing refrigerator handles use simple mechanical connection structures, such as connecting the handle to the refrigerator body by fixing pins, screws, etc. These handles usually do not provide a locking mechanism, but rely on physical interfaces to fix the handle to the body. When in use, the body is opened and closed by manually pulling.
[0004] While existing refrigerator handle designs can guarantee basic functionality, they lack an effective locking mechanism between the handle and the refrigerator body. When the refrigerator is moved or subjected to external impact, the handle may separate from the body, causing damage or wear during daily use and severely impacting its lifespan. In particular, when moving the refrigerator or frequently opening and closing the refrigerator door, the handle connection may loosen, leading to detachment or damage. Therefore, a magnetically closure refrigerator handle is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a magnetically closure refrigerator handle, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art where the handle separates from the refrigerator body when the refrigerator body is moved or subjected to external force, resulting in damage to the handle and a reduced service life.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a magnetically closure refrigerator handle, including a refrigerator cabinet, a fixed frame fixedly connected to the side wall of the refrigerator cabinet, a fixed column fixedly connected inside the fixed frame, a crank rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed column, a support column fixedly connected inside the crank, and a magnetic component provided inside the crank for fixing the handle.
[0007] The magnetic suction assembly includes a magnetic block and a magnetic suction disk. The magnetic block is fixedly connected to the inside of the crank, and the magnetic suction disk is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed frame. The outer wall of the crank is fitted to the inside of the fixed frame. A second support column is fixedly connected to the inside of the crank. A handle is fixedly connected to the outside of the second support column. A handle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the handle. A protective component is provided on the top of the handle to improve the safety of the handle during use.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the protective component includes a rubber pad and a heat insulation plate, the bottom of the rubber pad is fixedly connected to the top of the handle, and the inner wall of the heat insulation plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the refrigerator cabinet;
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: a control panel is provided on the top of the refrigerator cabinet, and the bottom of the control panel is fixedly connected to the top of the refrigerator cabinet;
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the top of the refrigerator cabinet is provided with a cabinet door, and the cabinet door is rotatably connected to the inside of the refrigerator cabinet;
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: a handle is provided on one side of the cabinet door, and the inner side of the handle is fixedly connected to the inside of the cabinet door;

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a magnetically closed refrigerator handle, including a refrigerator cabinet 1, a fixed frame 7 fixedly connected to the side wall of the refrigerator cabinet 1, a fixed post 15 fixedly connected inside the fixed frame 7, a crank 8 rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed post 15, a support post 9 fixedly connected inside the crank 8, and a magnetic component provided inside the crank 8 for fixing the handle.
[0025] The magnetic suction assembly includes a magnetic block 14 and a magnetic suction cup 13. The magnetic block 14 is fixedly connected inside the crank 8, and the magnetic suction cup 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed frame 7. The magnetic suction assembly provides strong attraction through magnetic force, ensuring that the handle can be firmly fixed in the required position and preventing the handle from loosening or falling off due to external force. The outer wall of the crank 8 fits against the inside of the fixed frame 7, providing stable support and smooth rotation performance, ensuring that the handle can be easily operated. A second support column 10 is fixedly connected inside the crank 8, and a handle 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the second support column 10, providing additional support and stability, enhancing the load-bearing capacity and durability of the handle. A handle 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the handle 11, further enhancing the comfort of the grip and making it easier for users to easily lift the refrigerator door. A protective component is provided on the top of the handle 11 to improve the safety of the handle during use, prevent accidental injuries that may occur during use, and enhance the user's sense of security when operating the refrigerator.
[0026] Specifically, when the operator moves the refrigerator using the handle, they first need to grasp the handle 11 and pull it upwards. At this time, the handle 11, through its connection with the crank 8, drives the crank 8 to rotate around the fixed column 15. As the fixed column 15 rotates, the support column 9 will also rotate, helping the refrigerator to move. As the handle is gradually lifted, the refrigerator will be moved to the target area more easily. Once the refrigerator is moved to the designated location, the operator releases the handle 11. Due to the mechanical linkage with the crank 8, the handle 11 gradually descends and automatically returns to its original position, fitting against the side wall of the refrigerator. During this process, the automatic descent of the handle not only ensures the stability of the structure but also effectively prevents accidental loosening or detachment. The tight connection between the handle and the refrigerator cabinet 1 is achieved through the mutual attraction between the magnetic block 14 set inside the crank 8 and the magnetic component inside the fixing frame 7. This design allows the handle to reach a locked state when closed, enhancing the overall connection between the handle and the refrigerator and preventing unnecessary shaking or detachment. In addition, due to the operation of the magnetic component, the handle is easier to close, ensuring smooth and comfortable operation. Moreover, once closed, the handle is firmly fixed, providing more stable support, greatly improving the service life of the handle, and extending its stability and durability during long-term use. This design not only improves the convenience of using the refrigerator but also effectively enhances the safety and reliability of the overall refrigerator structure.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5The protective components include a rubber pad 12 and a heat insulation plate 6. The bottom of the rubber pad 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the handle 11. The rubber pad 12 provides a non-slip and comfortable contact surface, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use and effectively preventing friction between the handle 11 and the hand. The inner wall of the heat insulation plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the refrigerator cabinet 1. The heat insulation plate 6 is used to insulate the heat generated by the refrigerator from being transferred to the handle. A control panel 3 is provided on the top of the refrigerator cabinet 1. The bottom of the control panel 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the refrigerator cabinet 1. The control panel 3 provides a convenient operating interface, through which users can adjust various functions of the refrigerator. The fixed connection method ensures the safety of the control panel. 3. For robustness and stability, the refrigerator cabinet 1 has a cabinet door 2 on the top, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the refrigerator cabinet 1. The rotatable connection of the cabinet door 2 ensures smooth opening and closing operation, making it convenient for users to take out and put in items. A handle 4 is provided on one side of the cabinet door 2, and the inner side of the handle 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cabinet door 2. The handle 4 is designed to provide a comfortable grip and make it easy to open or close the cabinet door 2. A cooling fan 5 is provided at the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet 1, and the outer wall of the cooling fan 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of the refrigerator cabinet 1. The cooling fan 5 effectively circulates air to help dissipate heat inside the refrigerator, maintain a suitable temperature for the refrigerator to operate at, prevent the compressor from overheating, and extend the service life of the refrigerator.
[0028] Specifically, to improve safety and comfort when the operator moves the refrigerator using the handle, a heat insulation plate 6 is cleverly installed on the side wall of the refrigerator cabinet 1. This heat insulation plate 6 effectively prevents heat from the inside of the cabinet from being transferred to the handle, thus avoiding direct heat transfer to the grip 11. This ensures that the operator will not feel uncomfortable due to heat accumulation during use. In addition, the design of the grip 11 is more ergonomic, allowing the operator to hold it more naturally and comfortably. The shape of the grip 11 is carefully designed to provide better hand comfort. To provide support and reduce fatigue during prolonged use, a rubber pad 12 is specially installed on the top of the handle 11 to further enhance the user experience. This pad has a good anti-slip effect. When the operator's hands are sweaty or wet, the anti-slip properties of the rubber pad 12 effectively prevent the hands from slipping, ensuring that the operator can always hold the handle firmly during operation and avoid accidents caused by slipping. Through the ingenious combination of the heat insulation plate 6, the ergonomically designed handle 11, and the anti-slip rubber pad 12, these detailed designs improve the safety and comfort of the refrigerator handle from all aspects.
[0029] Working principle: When moving the refrigerator using the handle, the operator first grasps the handle 11 and then pulls it upwards. As the handle 11 is pulled upwards, it drives the crank 8 to rotate on the fixed column 15. During the rotation of the fixed column 15, the support column 9 will also rotate simultaneously. After moving the refrigerator to the target area using the handle, the operator releases the handle 11. Since the handle 11 is rotated on the fixed column 15 by the crank 8, the handle will automatically fall down and fit against the side wall of the refrigerator. When the handle is in contact with the refrigerator cabinet 1, the magnetic block 14 inside the crank 8 and the magnetic component inside the fixed frame 7 ensure that the handle is locked after closing, preventing it from loosening or coming off. This design allows for better integration with the refrigerator cabinet, resulting in a more effortless and stable handle when closed, significantly extending its lifespan. For enhanced safety and comfort, the heat insulation plate 6 on the side wall of the refrigerator cabinet 1 isolates heat from the cabinet, preventing it from reaching the handle. Furthermore, the handle 11 is ergonomically designed with a rubber pad 12 at its top to prevent slippage when the user's hands are sweaty. These components collectively improve the safety and comfort of the user when using the refrigerator handle.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
