Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, specifically a refrigerator with a heating component. Background Technology

[0002] Refrigerators are a common household and commercial appliance, widely used for refrigeration, freezing, and preservation. However, when a refrigerator is working, low-temperature air in the refrigerator or freezer compartment can leak from the side of the door. This leakage increases the workload of the compressor, so most manufacturers now install sealing components on the door.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN103925763A discloses a refrigerator door sealing device, a refrigerator door, and a refrigerator. By fixing a control component in the inflation position, the corrugated box is compressed, forcing air into the first gas chamber, thereby causing the annular sealing strip to expand and adhere tightly to the inner surface of the refrigerator body. This sealing device can prevent low-temperature air leakage to a certain extent. However, since the air inside the corrugated box also comes from the refrigerator's refrigerator compartment or freezer compartment, it has a certain temperature difference with the outside air, causing condensation on the open side of the refrigerator door and its corresponding position. Especially for double-door refrigerators, due to the small gap between the doors, this condensation can breed bacteria in the gaps, and in severe cases, can lead to mold growth, which occurs precisely on the open side of the refrigerator door. Therefore, the presence of condensation poses a risk of contaminating the food inside the refrigerator when the door is opened. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a refrigerator with a heating component that can avoid condensation on the outside of the door and prevent bacterial contamination on the door.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is achieved as follows: A refrigerator with a heating component includes a cabinet, a first door, and a second door. The first and second doors are mounted on the cabinet and arranged horizontally. A heating component is provided on the opening side of the first door, and the heating component can be embedded in the cabinet when the first and second doors are closed. A hinge is provided between the heating component and the first door, and corresponds to the opening side position of the second door.

[0006] This application optimizes the above structure, and the heating assembly includes a housing and a heating plate. The housing is hinged to the first door and corresponds to the opening side of the second door. The heating plate is located inside the housing and electrically connected to the outside.

[0007] This application further refines the above structure, with the heating plate located on the inner side where the housing connects to the opening side of the second door.

[0008] This application further refines the above structure, and the heating plate includes a heat-conducting plate connected to the inner side of the shell and a heating film disposed on the heat-conducting plate and electrically connected to the outside.

[0009] This application further refines the above structure, with one end of the hinge fixedly connected to the side of the first door body, and the pivot located inside the housing and fixedly connected to the housing.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. In this refrigerator with a heating element, the heating element is installed on the opening side of the first and second doors. Firstly, the heating element heats the sides of the first and second doors, causing condensation that forms on their outer surfaces due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside to evaporate. This evaporation not only keeps the outer surfaces of the first and second doors dry but also prevents the formation of an environment conducive to bacterial growth. Secondly, the heating element can be embedded into the refrigerator body when the first and second doors are closed. This structure not only does not affect the normal closing of the first and second doors but also ensures the stability of the connection between them and the heating element, and ensures that the heating element can heat the gap between them.

[0012] 2. In this refrigerator with a heating element, a hinge is provided between the heating element and the first door. This structure allows the heating element to be retracted inward when the first door is opened, which not only does not occupy the opening space of the first door, but also prevents the heating element from burning the user.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. The applicant hereby emphasizes that the following embodiments are one or more examples of how to achieve the novel technical solution of the present utility model, obtain the corresponding technical effects, and solve the corresponding technical problems. They do not represent that the scope of protection of the technical solution only includes the following embodiments. Any structure that is the same as or equivalent to the refrigerator with heating components of the present utility model is within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] according to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the refrigerator with heating component of this utility model mainly consists of a cabinet 1, a first door 11, a second door 12, and a heating component. Both the first door 11 and the second door 12 are mounted on the cabinet 1 and are hinged to it. The first door 11 and the second door 12 are arranged horizontally on the cabinet 1, with their opening sides located in the middle of the cabinet 1. The heating component is mounted on the first door 11 and can be embedded inside the cabinet 1 when the first door 11 is closed. The opening side of the heating component corresponds to the opening side of the second door 12; specifically, when the second door 12 is closed, its edge can be pressed against the heating component. A hinge 2 is also provided between the heating component and the first door 11, allowing the heating component to rotate inward and retract when the first door 11 is opened.

[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, the heating assembly includes a housing 31 and a heating plate. The housing 31 is hinged to the first door 11 via a hinge 2 and corresponds to the opening side of the second door 12. The heating plate is disposed inside the housing 31 and is electrically connected to an external source. When the heating plate is in operation, it can heat the outer gaps of the first door 11 and the second door 12 through the housing 31, preventing condensation from forming on the outer sides of the first door 11 and the second door 12 due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside.

[0025] In another embodiment of this utility model, the heating plate is fixedly installed inside the housing 31. The heating plate is located on the inner side of the housing 31 where it connects to the opening side of the second door 12, that is, on the inner side of the housing 31 facing outward from the box 1. The heat generated by the heating plate during operation is directly output to the outside through the conduction of the housing 31, and acts on the "U"-shaped gap formed by the first door 11, the housing 31, and the second door 12, so that the condensation formed in the gap can be evaporated by heat.

[0026] In another embodiment of this utility model, the heating plate includes a heat-conducting plate 32 and a heating film 33. The heat-conducting plate 32 is located on the inner side of the housing 31 and is fixed to the housing 31. It is used to disperse and evenly conduct the heat generated by the heating film 33 during operation to the side of the housing 31. The heating film 33 is located on the heat-conducting plate 32 and is fixed to the heat-conducting plate 32. The heating film 33 also has an extension on the outer side of the heat-conducting plate 32. There are two extensions, each with only conductive function, which extend along both sides of the heating film 33 towards the center. A terminal 34 is provided at the center of the extension on the heat-conducting plate 32 to enable the heating film 33 to work normally through electrical connection with the outside. The working principle of the heating film 33 in this embodiment can be referred to by those skilled in the art as existing electrothermal films, such as the far-infrared electrothermal film structure in Chinese patent document CN201069884Y, the electrothermal film structure in CN102510588A, or the graphene composite electrothermal film structure in CN116528409A, which will not be described in detail here.

[0027] In another embodiment of this utility model, one end of the hinge 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the first door 11, and the pivot is located inside the housing 31 and fixedly connected to the housing 31. By rotating the pivot, the housing 31 can be folded outward or retracted inward on the side of the first door 11.

[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
