[0029] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial technical effects of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. In the various drawings of this application, features with the same structure or similar function are represented by the same reference numerals. Furthermore, for clarity, only a portion or part of the corresponding components or structures may be shown in the various drawings of this application.

[0030] Figure 1 A perspective view of a refrigeration appliance according to one embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the refrigeration appliance includes a housing 200 defining at least one storage compartment and a door 100 for opening and closing at least a portion of the storage compartment. It should be understood that... Figure 1 The illustration exemplifies a cross-door refrigerator with four doors 100, but is not limited thereto. The refrigeration appliances according to this application can encompass all types of refrigeration appliances, whether existing or developed in the future. Furthermore, the doors 100 are not limited to the revolving door shown in the illustration; in some embodiments, the doors 100 can refer to pull-out drawer doors within the refrigeration appliance.

[0031] For ease of description, the horizontal direction (or length direction) of the refrigeration appliance is set as the X direction, the depth direction (or width direction) is set as the Y direction, and the vertical direction (or height direction) is set as the Z direction, thus constructing a coordinate system. The same coordinate system will also be used in the illustrations and descriptions below.

[0032] Figure 2 A perspective view of a door 100 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 3 An exploded view of the assembly structure of the door edge clip 1 and the side post 2 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the door body 100 includes a door edge clip 1 defining the upper or lower end face of the door body 100 and a side post 2 assembled to one side of the door edge clip 1. In the assembled state, the door edge clip side 11 of the door edge clip 1 and the side post side 21 of the side post 2 (see...) Figure 3 Together, they form the side of the door body 100.

[0033] exist Figure 2In the illustrated embodiment, the door 100 has a first side 102 and a second side 103 that are laterally (i.e., along the X direction) opposite to each other. The door 100 is hinged to the housing 200 at the first side 102, which can also be referred to as the hinge side. The side post 2 is assembled to the door edge clip 1 at the second side 103 (also referred to as the handle side). It is worth noting that the assembly structure of the door edge clip 1 and the side post 2 according to this application is not limited to the handle side of the door 100, but can also be applied to the hinge side of the door 100. Additionally or alternatively, although the door edge clip 1 is located at the upper part of the door 100 in the illustrated embodiment and serves as an upper door edge clip, it is not limited thereto. The door edge clip 1 can also be located at the lower part of the door 100 and serve as a lower door edge clip. Therefore, in the assembled state, the side post 2 can be located at the first side 102 and / or the second side 103 of the door edge clip 1.

[0034] In the illustrated embodiment, the door edge bracket 1 is provided with a handle groove 101, and the first side 102 and the second side 103 of the door edge bracket 1 are opposite in the lateral direction (i.e., along the X direction) to the handle groove 101. In some other embodiments not shown, the door edge bracket 1 may not have a handle groove, and instead the door body 100 may have an external handle.

[0035] In particular, such as Figure 3 As shown, the door edge clip 1 has a partition wall 3 that is laterally inwardly offset relative to the side 11 of the door edge clip. In the assembled state, the partition wall 3 is laterally spaced from the side column 2, and a leak-proof structure is provided between the partition wall 3 and the side column 2 along the assembly joint of the door edge clip 1 and the side column 2 to prevent leakage of foam material.

[0036] In existing refrigeration appliance door designs, the door edge clip typically has an inner wall. During assembly, this inner wall fits snugly against the side column, facilitating assembly and preventing leakage of foam material at the assembly joint. However, this structure is not very effective at preventing leakage, and due to the thin-walled nature of the side column, sharp edges or corners are easily created at the assembly joint between the side column and the door edge clip, resulting in an unsightly appearance and increasing the risk of injury to users. Alternatively, some existing designs completely eliminate the side of the door edge clip, creating an assembly joint between the side column and the door edge clip at the door corner. However, such joints are easily noticeable due to assembly errors, affecting the door's aesthetic appearance.

[0037] However, according to embodiments of this application, the assembly seam between the door edge clip 1 and the side column 2 can be moved away from the corner of the door body by forming the door body side together with the side of the door edge clip 11 and the side of the side column 21. Furthermore, the existing fitting and leak-proof solution is eliminated, and instead, leakage at the assembly seam is prevented by setting an inner partition wall and a leak-proof structure constrained by the inner partition wall. Therefore, compared to the prior art, the refrigeration appliance door body according to certain embodiments of this application can have improved aesthetics and leak-proof performance, thereby improving the user experience.

[0038] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the partition wall 3 can be plate-shaped and extend longitudinally downward, thus being parallel to the side column 2 which also extends longitudinally.

[0039] Figure 4 A perspective sectional view of the assembly structure of the door edge card 1 and the side column 2 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 5 It shows Figure 3 A front sectional view of the assembly structure of the door edge clip 1 and the side column 2. (See attached image.) Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the assembled state, the partition wall 3 and the side column 2 enclose a filling space 4, which can be filled with a leak-proof material to provide the aforementioned leak-proof structure. This facilitates the filling of the leak-proof material and the formation of the leak-proof structure. Specifically, the leak-proof material can be leak-proof foam 41.

[0040] Optionally, in some embodiments, the leak-proof material, particularly the leak-proof foam 41, can be pre-installed on the inner surface of the side post 2 by adhesive. During assembly, the side post 2 with the adhesive-bonded leak-proof material can be assembled with the door edge clip 1. This facilitates the pre-installation of the leak-proof material. In this case, the size of the leak-proof material, particularly the leak-proof foam 41, can be specifically set to completely fill the filling space 4. Preferably, the size of the leak-proof material, particularly the leak-proof foam 41, in the Z direction is larger than the size of the filling space 4 in that direction. Figure 5 As shown.

[0041] Preferably, in the assembled state, a foam cavity 5 can be formed between the door edge clip 1 and the side post 2, and the partition wall 3 is configured to separate the filling space 4 from the foam cavity 5 adjacent to the assembly joint of the door edge clip 1 and the side post 2. Thus, the area of ​​the foam cavity 5 adjacent to the assembly joint can be separately partitioned to serve as the filling space 4, thereby easily filling the filling space 4 with leak-proof material to specifically prevent and avoid leakage at the assembly joint. That is, as... Figure 4As shown, in the assembled state, the partition wall 3 divides the upper part of the foam cavity 5 into a filling space 4 adjacent to the side pillar 2 and a foam sub-cavity 51 away from the side pillar 2. When the foam material is filled into the foam cavity 5, the foam material moving near the partition wall 3 will not enter or only enter a small amount into the filling space 4 due to the obstruction of the leak-proof material, especially the leak-proof foam 41, but will instead enter the adjacent foam sub-cavity 51. This allows the foam material to stay away from the assembly joint between the door edge clip 1 and the side pillar 2, thereby avoiding the problem of foam leakage at the assembly joint, and also forms a heat insulation structure in the foam sub-cavity 51, thus ensuring the heat insulation of the door at this location.

[0042] Preferably, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, at least one positioning rib 31 extending toward the side column 2 can be provided on the partition wall 3. The side column 2 can have a top surface 22, which abuts against the positioning rib 31 in the assembled state. This provides lateral positioning, i.e., positioning along the X direction, to the side column 2 during the assembly process of the door edge clip 1 and the side column 2. Preferably, the top surface 22 of the side column can be perpendicular to the side surface 21 of the side column, i.e., extending along the X direction in the assembled state. The provision of the top surface 22 of the side column and its abutment against the partition wall 3 allows the top section of the assembly joint between the door edge clip 1 and the side column 2 to be moved laterally inward toward the door body compared to the prior art, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the door body 100.

[0043] Preferably, the top surface 22 of the side column 2 and the side surface 21 of the side column 2 can be rounded. This avoids the appearance of sharp edges or corners.

[0044] Optionally, in some embodiments, the door edge clip 1 may have a handle groove 101, a groove wall 15 forming the handle groove 101, and a flat surface 14 connected to the top of the groove wall 15, the flat surface 14 extending laterally from the groove wall 15 to the side surface 11 of the door edge clip. The portion of the door edge clip 1 providing the flat surface 14 may be integral with the groove wall 15. In the assembled state, the height of the flat surface 14 is preferably higher than the top surface 22 of the side post 2. That is, the side post 2 is assembled to the door edge clip 1 with its top surface 22 located below the flat surface 14. The side surface of the portion of the door edge clip 1 providing the flat surface 14 also constitutes part of the side surface 11 of the door edge clip, such that the top surface 22 of the side post and the bottom surface of the portion providing the flat surface 14 fit together, thereby achieving a good assembly of the door edge clip 1 and the side post 2 in the Z direction. Preferably, the aforementioned height of the flat surface 14 is small, making the assembly step on the side of the door body smaller and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0045] The door edge clip 1 may have a front wall 12 and an opposing rear wall 13 on its front and rear sides along the Y direction, respectively. The partition wall 3 may preferably extend between and connect the front wall 12 and the rear wall 13, so as to stabilize and fix the partition wall 3 using the front wall 12 and the rear wall 13, and also facilitate the local sealing of the filling space 4 in a simple manner. Preferably, the front wall 12, the rear wall 13, and the partition wall 3 are integral. In the assembled state, the edges of the front wall 12 and the rear wall 13 are closer to the side post 2 in the X direction than the partition wall 3. Accordingly, as... Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the side pillar 2 may have a front side pillar 23 and an opposite rear side pillar 24. In the assembled state, the rear side pillar 24 may be flush with the rear wall 13 of the door edge clip 1, and the front side pillar 23 may also be flush with the front wall 12 of the door edge clip 1. Thus, when assembling the door edge clip 1 and the side pillar 2, the rear side pillar 24 and the rear wall 13 of the door edge clip can be placed on the same surface for flat assembly, and the flush front side pillar 23 and the front wall 12 of the door edge clip facilitate the assembly of the front door panel 104 (and the decorative panel 105) described below.

[0046] Figure 6 It shows Figure 3 Rear view of the assembly structure of the door edge clip 1 and the side column 2. (See image) Figure 6 As shown, in the assembled state, the rear 24 of the side pillar and the rear wall 13 of the door edge clip 1 can preferably be flush and joined together to form a meandering assembly seam. This allows for dimensional optimization in the X and Y directions of the door body 100, while also ensuring the smooth implementation of the manufacturing process of the side pillar 2 and its structural stability.

[0047] Figure 7 A perspective view of a side post 2 according to one embodiment of this application is shown. Optionally, in some embodiments, the side post 2 may further have a flange 241 extending from the rear 24 of the side post toward the front 23 of the side post. In the assembled state, the flange 241 may be as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the door edge clip 1 is coupled to the lower part of the rear wall 13. This improves the assembly stability of the side post 2 and the door edge clip 1. In the X direction, the flange 241 can be further away from the side side 21 of the side post than the edge portion of the side post rear 24 that forms a meandering assembly joint with the rear wall 13 of the door edge clip. In addition, the meandering assembly joint also facilitates the relative positioning of the door edge clip 1 and the side post 2 in the Z direction during assembly.

[0048] Figure 8 A perspective view of a door edge card 1 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. (Reference) Figure 7 and Figure 8The door latch 1 may have a groove 122 on the front wall 12, and the side post 2 may have a tongue 231 formed by bending from front to back at the front 23 of the side post, that is, the tongue 231 is closer to the rear 24 of the side post than the rest of the front 23 of the side post. In particular, in the assembled state, the tongue 231 can be inserted into the groove 122 for connection. This improves the assembly stability of the side post 2 and the door latch 1, and also provides assembly positioning. The groove 122 may be formed particularly between the front wall 12 and the aforementioned flat surface 14. For example, a gap is provided between the front wall 12 and the bottom surface of the portion providing the flat surface 14, and this gap is formed as the groove 122. The groove 122 may extend particularly in the X direction, thereby facilitating the translational insertion of the tongue 231.

[0049] Optionally, the front wall 12 may have a recessed portion 121, and the partition wall 3 may be connected to the recessed portion 121. In the assembled state, the front side of the side column 23 is in contact with the recessed portion 121 on its front side. This contact improves the assembly stability and leak-proof effect of the side column 2 and the door edge clip 1. It should be understood that although in the illustrated embodiment, both the recessed portion 121 and the front side of the side column 23 are formed as a stepped shape, in some other embodiments, the recessed portion 121 and the front side of the side column 23 may be formed as plates (e.g., ...). Figure 8 (as shown) or other suitable shapes.

[0050] Thus, in some embodiments, the filling space 4 can be defined by the rear wall 13, the rear of the side column 24, the partition wall 3, the side of the side column 21, the top surface of the side column 22, and the front wall 12.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the door 100 may have a front door panel 104, which is typically made of glass or plastic. In the assembled state, the front door panel 104 covers at least a portion of the front section of the assembly joint between the door edge clip 1 and the side post 2. The front section refers to the assembly joint visible in a front view of the assembled structure of the door edge clip 1 and the side post 2. Further, in some alternative embodiments, the door 100 may also have a decorative panel 105, which is typically made of plastic or metal. In the assembled state, the decorative panel 105 covers at least a portion of the front section of the assembly joint between the door edge clip 1 and the side post 2. This achieves an aesthetically pleasing door 100. In particular, the front door panel 104 and the decorative panel 105 may together cover the entire front section of the assembly joint between the door edge clip 1 and the side post 2, as shown... Figure 2 As shown.

[0052] Therefore, the assembly structure and assembly method of the door edge clip and side column proposed in this application, with the innovative structural features of the door edge clip and side column, realizes an improved door body of the refrigeration appliance. This door body has the advantages of no seam leakage and no obvious or sharp seams, while also taking into account the heat insulation performance of the refrigeration appliance door body, improving the appearance and user experience of the refrigeration appliance.
