[0008] Preferably, the cover plate has an inner light groove at the edge of the inner glass, and the inner light groove has a light outlet on the side facing the inner glass, and an LED light is provided in the inner light groove.

[0009] Preferably, the front side of the LED light is the light-emitting direction, facing the light outlet, and the rear side is fixed with silicone adhesive.

[0010] The innovative points of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. Modular light trough design:

[0012] The luminous glass door structure features a central light groove along the edge of the middle glass panel and an inner light groove along the edge of the inner glass panel via a cover plate. This modular light groove design allows LED lights to be pre-installed in the light groove, avoiding the problems caused by directly fixing LED lights with silicone glue in traditional solutions. The opening direction of the light groove (light outlet) faces the glass, ensuring that the light can effectively illuminate the silkscreen pattern.

[0013] 2. Removable cover and snap-fit ​​structure:

[0026] 3. Improve lighting effects:

[0027] The light outlet of the light trough faces directly towards the glass, ensuring that the light shines evenly on the screen-printed pattern, avoiding the problems of glue blocking or light scattering in traditional solutions. The dual light trough design improves the flexibility of LED light settings and can meet the needs of different customers.

[0028] 4. Enhance structural stability:

[0029] The snap-fit ​​structure not only facilitates disassembly but also provides reliable mechanical fixation, ensuring a tight fit between the cover and the frame body and preventing loosening due to vibration or long-term use.

[0030] 5. Wide range of applications:

[0031] This structure can be widely used in commercial freezers, display cases and other scenarios that require illuminated glass doors, and is especially suitable for occasions with high requirements for ease of maintenance and lighting effects.

[0032] This utility model effectively solves the problems of high production difficulty and inconvenient maintenance caused by traditional LED fixing methods through innovative designs such as modular light troughs, detachable cover plates and buckle structures, while improving lighting effect and structural reliability.

[0047] This utility model's luminous glass door structure, through modular light troughs, detachable cover plates, and snap-fit ​​structures, achieves convenient installation, efficient maintenance, and stable lighting effects for LED lights. Its working principle can be divided into the following key parts:

[0048] 1. Installation and fixing of LED lights:

[0049] Light trough design:

[0050] The middle glass has a central light groove along its edge, and the inner glass has an inner light groove on its cover plate. The LED lights are directly installed in the light grooves and fixed at the back with silicone sealant. The front faces the light outlet. This design avoids the problem of difficult-to-control glue usage in traditional solutions, while ensuring that the light directly illuminates the silkscreen pattern on the glass, thus improving the lighting effect.

[0051] Dual light trough configuration:

[0052] The central and inner light troughs can be independently installed with LED lights, and users can choose single-sided or double-sided lighting according to their needs, offering high flexibility.

[0053] 2. The cover plate is removable:

[0054] Buckle structure:

[0055] The cover plate is fixed to the frame body by a matching structure of bayonet and buckle. The bayonet is opened on the inside of the frame body and the buckle is fixed on the outside of the cover plate. This design allows the cover plate to be quickly fastened or disassembled without tools or destructive operation.

[0056] Ease of maintenance:

[0057] When an LED light is damaged, simply press or pry the cover plate to release the clip structure and expose the LED light in the light trough for replacement. This eliminates the need to disassemble the entire door frame, significantly reducing repair time and costs.

[0058] 3. Optical path design and lighting effects:

[0059] Directional illumination of light outlet:

[0060] The light outlets of the middle light trough and the inner light trough face the middle glass and the inner glass respectively, ensuring that the LED light directly penetrates the glass and illuminates the silk screen pattern, avoiding light scattering or being blocked;

[0061] Dual light troughs working together:

[0062] Installing two sets of LED lights at the same time can enhance the overall brightness or achieve a layered lighting effect (for example, the inner layer is used for backlighting and the outer layer is used for highlighting patterns).

[0063] 4. Structural stability and sealing performance:

[0064] Closed design of frame and cover:

[0065] The multiple sides of the central light trough are respectively enclosed by the frame body and the cover plate, forming a stable installation space to prevent the LED lights from shifting or being damaged by external forces;

[0066] Silicone sealant for auxiliary fixation:

[0067] The LED lights are fixed to the back with silicone sealant, which ensures the stability of the lamp and prevents the sealant from overflowing and affecting the light output.

[0068] Workflow:

[0069] Installation phase:

[0070] Place the LED light into the middle or inner light slot and fix it with glue at the back.

[0071] Align the clips of the cover plate with the snaps of the frame body, press to engage, and complete the assembly;

[0072] Lighting stage:

[0073] After power is applied, the LED light beam shines through the light outlet onto the screen-printed area of ​​the glass, thus displaying the pattern.

[0074] Maintenance phase:

[0075] Remove the cover plate → replace the damaged LED light → re-fasten the cover plate; no other parts need to be disassembled throughout the process.

[0076] This utility model provides LED installation space through modular light troughs, enables quick maintenance with snap-on covers, and optimizes lighting effects with directional light outlets, while also taking into account structural stability and ease of production. Its core innovation lies in transforming the traditional integrated fixing method into a detachable modular design, solving industry pain points such as difficult LED maintenance and high production precision requirements.

[0077] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are merely specific embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments and can have many variations. All variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of this utility model should be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
