Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator door frame technology, specifically an integrated refrigerator door frame with an embedded handle. Background Technology

[0002] The refrigerator door frame is a key structural component connecting the refrigerator door to the refrigerator body. It mainly serves to seal, support, and connect the parts. It is usually made of rigid plastic or metal frame, connected to the outer shell of the door on the outside and equipped with a magnetic door seal on the inside. The magnetic seal adheres to the edge of the refrigerator body, ensuring that a sealed space is formed when the refrigerator door is closed. This effectively blocks the flow of air between the inside and outside of the refrigerator, reduces the loss of cold air, and maintains a low-temperature environment inside the refrigerator. The surface of the door frame is often made of wear-resistant and low-temperature resistant materials, which not only ensures structural strength but also facilitates cleaning and maintenance. It is an important component for ensuring the refrigerator's cooling efficiency and service life.

[0003] Refrigerator door handles are functional components installed on the outside of the refrigerator door frame for users to open and close the door, combining practicality and aesthetics. They are made of various materials, commonly including ABS plastic, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy. Some high-end models also use tempered glass or metal-plated materials, ensuring structural strength while adapting to different refrigerator designs. As a frequently used component, its durability, anti-slip properties, and ergonomic design directly affect the user experience, and it typically undergoes tens of thousands of opening and closing tests to ensure its lifespan.

[0004] However, the handles of some existing refrigerator door frames are usually exposed. Exposed handles disrupt the overall smooth lines of the refrigerator, protruding abruptly from the door frame surface, which clashes with the minimalist and integrated style pursued by modern homes. Especially when the refrigerator is integrated with cabinetry, exposed handles disrupt the overall harmony of the space, appearing bulky and lacking in design. For the elderly, accidentally bumping into the protruding handle while moving may cause them to lose their balance and fall, especially when the kitchen floor is slippery, which further increases the risk. For active children, exposed handles may become "obstacles" when they play, easily causing them to bump into them while running or climbing, or even grabbing the handle out of curiosity and shaking it, causing the refrigerator to lose stability and leading to more serious safety accidents such as tipping over. Therefore, this utility model provides an integrated refrigerator door frame with an embedded handle to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0017] 1. In this utility model, when the user presses the pressing block, the pressing handle rotates around the fixed axis, the upper part slides into the slide groove, and the lower part extends outward, making it easy to grip and open the door; after releasing, the spring force pushes the pressing handle to reset, and it is re-embedded into the door frame body through the guide of the slide groove, achieving complete concealment. This not only avoids the abruptness of traditional exposed handles, making the surface of the refrigerator door frame flat and uniform, and improving the overall aesthetics, but also ensures the smooth operation of the handle due to the limiting effect of the slide groove and the automatic reset function of the spring. The opening and closing action can be completed without additional adjustment, significantly improving the convenience of use.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, the sealing frame serves as the basic carrier, using elastic material to tightly connect with the door frame body to prevent cold air leakage from the base; the outer sealing layer acts as the first barrier, adhering tightly to the surface of the refrigerator body when closed, blocking most of the cold air loss; the separator layer, with its slightly higher hardness, supports the outer and inner sealing layers, and the gap formed between it and the two sealing layers can be precisely aligned with the refrigerator body to fill tiny gaps; the inner sealing layer further strengthens the inner seal, preventing residual cold air from escaping, significantly improving the sealing effect when the refrigerator door is closed, effectively reducing energy loss, and enhancing the practicality and stability of the refrigerator.

[0027] 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.

[0028] This utility model provides an integrated refrigerator door frame with an embedded handle, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the refrigerator includes a door frame body 1, which serves as the basic frame for the entire refrigerator door. An embedded mechanism is located on the front interior side of the door frame body 1, and a sealing mechanism is located on the rear exterior side. The embedded mechanism includes a rotating assembly, which includes a fixed shaft 2. The fixed shaft 2 is externally and fixedly connected to the interior of the door frame body 1. A push handle 3 is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed shaft 2, providing a stable fulcrum for the rotation of the push handle 3. A push block 4 is fixedly connected to the front side of the push handle 3. When the push block 4 is pressed, the push handle 3 rotates around the fixed shaft 2. At this time, its upper half slides into the groove 5, and its lower half slides outward, making it convenient for the user to grip. The refrigerator door is partially openable. A hinge ball 6 is hinged to the rear of the rotating assembly. A slide groove 5 is provided inside the door frame body 1. The slide groove 5 provides a track for the sliding of the push handle 3. The outside of the push handle 3 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 5. A slide rod 7 is fixedly connected to the rear of the hinge ball 6. The design of the hinge ball 6 allows the slide rod 7 to flexibly change direction and position as the push handle 3 rotates, thus transmitting motion and force. A spring 8 is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 7. One end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the rear of the push handle 3, and the other end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the inside of the door frame body 1. When the push handle 3 rotates, it will drive the slide rod 7 to move, thereby compressing the spring 8 and storing elastic potential energy. When the user releases the pressing handle 3, the spring 8 releases the stored elastic potential energy, generating an elastic force to push the pressing handle 3 to rotate in the opposite direction around the fixed axis 2, so that it is re-embedded into the interior of the slide groove 5. The rear side of the slide rod 7 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 9. When the slide rod 7 is displaced under the action of the pressing handle 3, the limiting plate 9 will slide synchronously with the slide rod 7 in the limiting groove 10, ensuring that the slide rod 7 always moves along the axial direction. The limiting groove 10 is opened inside the door frame body 1, and the external sliding connection of the limiting plate 9 is slidably connected to the interior of the limiting groove 10. The limiting groove 10 provides space and track for the sliding of the limiting plate 9.

[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the sealing mechanism includes a sealing frame 11. The front side of the sealing frame 11 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the door frame body 1. The sealing frame 11 is made of a material with certain elasticity and sealing properties to prevent cold air from leaking from the connection gaps. It provides installation support for the outer sealing layer 12, the partition layer 13, and the inner sealing layer 14. The outer sealing layer 12 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the sealing frame 11. When the refrigerator door is closed, the outer sealing layer 12 can first contact the refrigerator body and fit tightly against the surface of the refrigerator body, forming the first line of defense to prevent most of the cold air from leaking out. The partition layer 13 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the sealing frame 11. The outside of the partition layer 13 is fixedly connected to the outer sealing layer 12. Inside, the partition layer 13 is made of a material with a slightly higher hardness than the outer sealing layer 12 and the inner sealing layer 14, which serves as a partition and support. The inner sealing layer 14 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the sealing frame 11. The outer side of the inner sealing layer 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of the partition layer 13. When the refrigerator door is closed, the inner sealing layer 14 can fit tightly against the inside of the refrigerator body, further preventing cold air from leaking out. Multiple placement frames 15 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the inside of the door frame body 1. The placement frames 15 are mainly used to place small items inside the refrigerator, such as eggs, condiment bottles, etc. A rotating shaft 16 is provided on the right side of the inside of the door frame body 1. The rotating shaft 16 is used to realize the rotation of the refrigerator door to open and close.

[0030] Working principle: When using the refrigerator door frame, pressing the pressing block 4 causes the pressing handle 3 to rotate around the fixed axis 2. This causes the upper part of the pressing handle 3 to slide inward into the slide groove 5, while the lower part slides outward. Grasping the lower part of the pressing handle 3 facilitates the opening of the door frame body 1. As the pressing handle 3 rotates, the hinge between the pressing handle 3 and the hinge ball 6 causes the slide rod 7 to shift, compressing the spring 8. This causes the limiting plate 9 to slide inside the limiting groove 10. When the pressing handle 3 is released, the spring force of the spring 8 will cause the pressing handle 3 to reset, allowing it to re-embed into the sliding groove 5, thus achieving the embedded handle. This not only looks good but also makes it easy to use. When the refrigerator door is closed, the outer sealing layer 12, the partition layer 13, and the inner sealing layer 14 can fit tightly against the refrigerator body. At the same time, the gap formed between the partition layer 13 and the outer sealing layer 12 and the inner sealing layer 14 can further align with the refrigerator body, thereby ensuring the sealing effect and improving the practicality and performance of the refrigerator.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
