Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention provides a combined refrigerator door end cover in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are listed as best and preferred embodiments; other alternative methods may be used by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that the use of terms such as "an embodiment," "an embodiment," "an exemplary embodiment," and "some embodiments" in the specification indicates that the described embodiment may include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments (whether explicitly described or not) should be within the knowledge of those skilled in the art.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a combined refrigerator door end cover, including: a cabinet door 1, a placement box 2 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the cabinet door 1, a placement groove 4 formed on the outer wall of the cabinet door 1, a body 3 provided on the inner wall of the placement groove 4, a movable groove 7 formed on the top of the inner wall of the placement groove 4, a straight rod 10 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the movable groove 7, a retaining spring 11 sleeved on the outer wall of the straight rod 10, the bottom end of the retaining spring 11 abutting against a limit ring 12, a connecting ring 13 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the limit ring 12, a retaining strip 8 fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the connecting ring 13, a fixing plate 14 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the limit ring 12, an electromagnet 15 fixedly mounted on the top of the fixing plate 14, and the movable groove... A strong magnet 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the 7. A docking groove 16 is opened on the outer wall of the main body 3. A controller 5 is installed on the outer wall of the cabinet door 1. The controller 5 is electrically connected to the control panel 6. Through the structure of cabinet door 1, placement box 2, main body 3, placement groove 4, controller 5, control panel 6, movable groove 7, and locking strip 8, the user can directly place the main body 3 in the placement groove 4 during the use of the door end cover. The power is turned off by the docking groove 16, and the elasticity of the retaining spring 11 automatically pushes the locking strip 8 into the docking groove 16, thereby fixing the main body 3. This makes it easier for the user to install the main body 3 and improves the user's assembly efficiency of the door end cover.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the locking strip 8 has a round hole, and the inner wall of the round hole is slidably connected to the outer wall of the straight rod 10. Through the structure of the round hole and the straight rod 10, when maintaining or replacing the door end cover, the user can control the electromagnet 15 to be energized through the controller 5, so that the strong magnet 9 and the electromagnet 15 attract each other in opposite phases, thereby making the locking strip 8 disengage from the docking groove 16, which makes it easier for the user to disassemble and install the door end cover, thus improving the practicality of the door end cover.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the controller 5 is also electrically connected to the electromagnet 15, and the electromagnet 15 is attracted to the strong magnet 9 after being energized. Through the structure of the electromagnet 15 and the strong magnet 9, the elastic characteristics of the snap ring 11 are used to achieve the effect of automatically fixing the body 3. Conversely, the magnetism between the two can be used to make the door end cover easy for the user to disassemble, thereby ensuring that the door end cover can be quickly disassembled and assembled, and thus ensuring the normal use of the door end cover.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the diameter of the docking groove 16 is compatible with the diameter of the clip 8, and the body 3 is fixedly connected to the cabinet door 1 through the docking groove 16. Through the set clip 8 structure, after the body 3 is fixed through the docking groove 16, it can be firmly fixed in the placement groove 4, thereby avoiding the loosening of the body 3, thus improving the stability of the body 3 after installation, and also ensuring that the normal use of the door end cover will not be affected.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, there are four docking slots 16. The four docking slots 16 are divided into two groups, and both groups of docking slots 16 are symmetrically distributed along the outer wall of the cabinet door 1. Through the structure of the four docking slots 16, the four boundaries of the body 3 can be fixed, thereby ensuring that the body 3 will not tilt or even shift position after installation, further improving the stability of the body 3 after installation.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the limiting ring 12 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the straight rod 10, and both the limiting ring 12 and the connecting ring 13 are made of 304 stainless steel. The 304 stainless steel has corrosion-resistant properties, which can effectively extend the service life of both. At the same time, its material also has the property of easy disinfection, avoiding contamination of the food stored inside the refrigerator, thereby ensuring the normal use of the door end cover.

[0032] The technical solution provided by this utility model allows the user to first energize the electromagnet 15 via the controller 5 when assembling the door end cover. This causes the strong magnet 9 and the electromagnet 15 to attract each other in opposite phases, making it easier for the user to place the main body 3 into the placement slot 4. At this time, the locking strip 8 will overlap with the docking slot 16. The user can de-energize the electromagnet 15 to allow the elastic spring 11 to automatically push the locking strip 8 into the docking slot 16, thereby achieving the effect of quickly fixing the main body 3 and improving the user's assembly efficiency of the door end cover. When the door end cover needs maintenance, the user can use the above reverse steps to facilitate the user's disassembly of the main body 3, thereby facilitating the user's maintenance of the door end cover and improving the user's maintenance efficiency of the door end cover.

[0033] This utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details have been described in detail in the above preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art can fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail.

[0034] Those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the steps in the methods of the above embodiments can be implemented by a program instructing related hardware. The program can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium, such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk, etc.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
