Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, specifically the design of a refrigerator door and a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] Existing refrigerator doors are generally composed of a door shell, end cap, and door liner, which together form a closed foamed cavity. Due to the large pressure generated by the expansion of the foaming material during foaming, the foaming material may be squeezed out from the gaps between the parts, resulting in leakage and affecting the appearance of the refrigerator.

[0003] Currently, the four straight edges of the door insert and the overlapping structure of the door shell and end cap can effectively prevent bubble leakage. However, due to the complex structure and many gaps at the four corners of the door insert and the overlapping areas of the door shell and end cap, there is still a risk of bubble leakage.

[0037] Whenever possible, the various aspects and features described and shown in the specification can be applied individually, and these individual aspects can serve as the subject of a divisional application.

[0038] A refrigerator is a refrigeration device that maintains a constant low temperature, primarily used for storing and preserving food, beverages, and various materials. Refrigerators are commonly used in home kitchens, shops, supermarkets, offices, and other similar settings.

[0039] A refrigerator typically has a door 10, which can seal the opening of the refrigerator's storage cavity to prevent cold air from leaking out, thereby ensuring the refrigerator's cooling effect.

[0040] In the assembly process of the refrigerator door 10 in the prior art, due to the small overlap area between the end cap 200 and the door liner 300 and the door body 10, two gaps will be formed between the end cap 200 and the door liner 300 and the door body 10 respectively. During the foaming and expansion process, the foaming material may leak out from the two gaps one after another.

[0041] In addition, existing refrigerator door 10 often increases the overlap surface with door liner 300 by vertically increasing the arc edge of the top cover 200, which can reduce the amount of foam entering the gap. However, this method forms an inverted shape, which requires a slanted top on the corresponding mold, resulting in increased mold cost and complex structure.

[0042] To solve the above problems, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides a refrigerator door 10, including: The door shell includes a panel 110 and two side panels; For example, panel 110 is the side of the refrigerator facing the user, and it is usually provided with an operation panel 110 and a handle-like structure. Two side panels are located on the left and right sides of the refrigerator along the height direction, and are referred to as the first side panel 120 and the second side panel 130.

[0043] End cap 200, which snaps into the door shell; For example, there are two end caps 200, which are located at the top and bottom of the refrigerator during installation and are referred to as the upper end cap 220 and the lower end cap 210, respectively. The upper end cap 220, the first side plate 120, the lower end cap 210, and the second side plate 130 are connected end to end to form a rectangular frame structure.

[0044] Door liner 300 is disposed opposite to the door shell and is fixedly connected to the end cover 200 and the side plate; For example, the door liner 300 is arranged parallel to the door panel 110, and during installation, it is snapped and fixed to the frame structure formed by the end cover 200 and the side panel.

[0045] In addition, a foaming cavity is formed between the door liner 300 and the door shell, which is used to fill the foaming material.

[0046] The end cap 200 is provided with a connecting part 230 at its top corner; The connecting part 230 contacts the door frame 300; the shape of the contact surface between the connecting part 230 and the door frame 300 matches the shape of the top corner of the door frame 300. For example, the end cover 200 includes at least a front upright plate 211 and a rear upright plate 212; wherein, the front upright plate 211 is fixedly connected to the panel 110; the rear upright plate 212 is connected to the door frame 300; and the connecting part 230 is located at the end of the rear upright plate 212. The end cap 200 is also provided with a blocking member 240 at the top corner, and the blocking member 240 is close to the door frame 300 relative to the connecting part 230; the blocking member 240 is arranged parallel to the connecting part 230.

[0047] For example, since the door liner 300 has a certain thickness, the added shielding member 240 can cooperate with the connecting part 230 to increase the overlap area between the end cap 200 and the door liner 300 at the corners, thereby effectively improving the sealing performance of the door body 10 and further preventing the foam material from overflowing.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the shielding member 240 and the connecting part 230 are provided with fixing plates at both ends, forming a foam receiving cavity 250; the volume of the foam receiving cavity 250 can be adjusted according to the distance between the shielding member 240 and the connecting part 230.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, since the shielding member 240 and the connecting part 230 are arranged in parallel, fixing plates are set at both ends according to the top surface shape of both, thereby forming the foam receiving cavity 250; during the foaming process, after the foam is blocked by the shielding member 240, a small amount of foam overflows into the foam receiving cavity 250, preventing the foam from overflowing directly to the panel 110 through the connecting part 230.

[0050] For example, the width of the fixing plate can be determined by adjusting the distance between the shielding member 240 and the connecting part 230, thereby further realizing the adjustable volume of the foam receiving cavity 250.

[0051] During the manufacturing process of the end cap 200, the distance between the shield 240 and the connecting part 230 can be set according to the size of the refrigerator door 10, which can cope with the overflow of different foaming amounts.

[0052] In this technical solution, by utilizing the parallel arrangement of the shielding member 240 and the connecting part 230, the capacity of the foam receiving cavity 250 can be set by determining the distance between the shielding member 240 and the connecting part 230. Thus, the capacity of the foam receiving cavity 250 can be set according to the size of the door body 10, which can better accommodate the foam that may leak out.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the shielding member 240 and the door frame 300 are in clearance fit; when the distance between the shielding member 240 and the connecting portion 230 is not greater than the thickness of the door frame 300, the gap range between the top surface of the shielding member 240 and the door frame 300 is d±Δd.

[0054] For example, the gap between the shield 240 and the door liner 300 is usually set at about 1mm; by limiting the position of the shield 240 and the door liner 300, the function of the shield 240 is ensured; during installation, if the gap between the shield 240 and the door liner 300 is too small, the end cap 200 and the door liner 300 will interfere; if the gap is too large, it will affect the blocking of the foam.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 As shown, the top surfaces of the connecting part 230 and the shielding member 240 are both arc-shaped; a first gap is formed between the arc-shaped top surface of the shielding member 240 and the door liner 300; a second gap is formed between the arc-shaped top surface of the connecting part 230 and the door liner 300; the foaming material enters the foaming material receiving cavity 250 through the first gap during the foaming and expansion process.

[0056] For example, the top corner of a typical door insert 300 is rounded. Therefore, in order to match the corner shape of the door insert 300, the top surface of the connecting part 230 of the end cover 200 and the top surface of the shield 240 that are close to the door insert 300 are also set to a corresponding rounded shape; this can achieve a better installation effect.

[0057] During installation, the end cap 200 has a first gap and a second gap with the door shell and door liner 300, which can effectively avoid interference. Similarly, during the foaming expansion process, when the foaming material enters from the first gap, it is first blocked by the shielding member 240, then enters the foaming material receiving cavity 250, then is blocked by the connecting part 230, and finally enters the second gap. Thus, through the blocking of the shielding member 240 and the connecting part 230 and the storage of the receiving cavity, the amount of foaming material entering the second gap can be greatly reduced, thereby preventing foam leakage.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figure 4 As shown, the fixing plate includes a first fixing plate 261 and a second fixing plate 262; the first fixing plate 261 and the second fixing plate 262 are arranged in parallel, the first fixing plate 261 is connected to one end of the arc-shaped top surface, and the second fixing plate 262 is connected to the other end of the arc-shaped top surface; the first fixing plate 261 and the second fixing plate 262 have different heights.

[0059] For example, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, since the first fixing plate 261 is located near the rear upright plate 212 of the end cover 200, that is, the first fixing plate 261 is used to connect the lower end of the arc-shaped top surface; therefore, the height of the first fixing plate 261 is not less than the height of the rear upright plate 212 of the end cover 200, thereby determining the minimum volume of the foam receiving cavity 250; in addition, the height of the second fixing plate 262 is greater than the height of the first fixing plate 261, and the second fixing plate 262 is used to connect the higher end of the arc-shaped top surface to prevent interference with the installation of the door liner 300.

[0060] To match the arc-shaped top surfaces of the shielding member 240 and the connecting part 230, the first fixing plate 261 and the second fixing plate 262 are set at different heights; this can effectively increase the capacity of the foam receiving cavity 250, and at the same time form a stable sealing structure with the connecting part 230 and the shielding member 240.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, the foam receiving cavity 250 is filled with a suction member; the height of the suction member is not less than the depth of the foam receiving cavity 250.

[0062] For example, the suction component can be adhered to the foam receiving cavity 250; the suction component can be made of sponge or the like, with the sponge height greater than the height of the blocking component 240, used to fill the gap between the sealing blocking component 240 and the door liner 300. In other words, by setting up a suction device, the overflowing foam can be absorbed; at the same time, the height of the suction device can be slightly higher than the depth of the foam receiving cavity 250, thereby filling the gap between the shielding device 240 and the door liner 300 and achieving a sealing effect.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 As shown, the bottom plate 213 of the end cover 200 is provided with a plurality of support members 270; the plurality of support members 270 are located at equal intervals below the door frame 300 to support and fix the door frame 300.

[0064] For example, the top surface of each support member 270 can also be set as an arc-shaped top surface according to the structure that contacts the door liner 300 to avoid interference with the door liner 300 during installation. By designing the support member 270 on the bottom plate 213 of the end cover 200, on the one hand, the end cover 200 can be prevented from deforming during the foaming expansion process, and on the other hand, the support for the door liner 300 can be increased.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, the side plate is provided with a hook structure 140, and the side of the door liner 300 is provided with a mounting hole that mates with the hook structure 140; during installation, the hook structure 140 is inserted into and limited by the mounting hole.

[0066] For example, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the hook structure 140 includes a fixing part 141 and a bending part 142; wherein the fixing part 141 is fixedly connected to the side plate; the bending part 142 is arranged perpendicularly to the fixing part 141; the bending part 142, as the free end of the hook structure 140, can be directly inserted into the corresponding mounting hole provided on the side of the door liner 300 during the installation process of the side plate and the end cover 200.

[0067] The hook structure 140 avoids the risk of foam leakage from the snap hole caused by the existing snap hole structure between the door shell and the end cover 200; in addition, the hook structure 140 is firm, and when the side panel is fixed to the door shell 300 through the hook structure 140, there is no need to fix the angle of the adhesive between the door shell and the end cover 200, which can effectively reduce the installation cost of the door body 10 and improve efficiency.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, both the first side plate 120 and the second side plate 130 are provided with two hook structures 140. Taking the first side plate 120 as an example, the two hook structures 140 are respectively located on the first side plate 120 near the upper end cover 220 and near the lower end cover 210.

[0069] For example, taking the first side plate 120 as an example, the hook structure 140 near the upper end cover 220 has its bent portion 142 facing the upper end cover 220; the hook structure 140 near the lower end cover 210 has its bent portion 142 facing the lower end cover 210. In other words, the hook structure 140 set on the same side panel has its bent portion 142 arranged opposite to each other, which can effectively prevent the side panel from falling off the door panel 300.

[0070] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a refrigerator door 10 is provided, including: The door shell includes a panel 110 and two side panels; For example, panel 110 is the side of the refrigerator facing the user, and it is usually provided with an operation panel 110 and a handle-like structure. Two side panels are located on the left and right sides of the refrigerator along the height direction, and are referred to as the first side panel 120 and the second side panel 130.

[0071] End cap 200, which snaps into the door shell; For example, there are two end caps 200, which are located at the top and bottom of the refrigerator during installation and are referred to as the upper end cap 220 and the lower end cap 210, respectively. The upper end cap 220, the first side plate 120, the lower end cap 210, and the second side plate 130 are connected end to end to form a rectangular frame structure.

[0072] Door liner 300 is disposed opposite to the door shell and is fixedly connected to the end cover 200 and the side plate; For example, the door liner 300 is arranged parallel to the door panel 110, and during installation, it is snapped and fixed to the frame structure formed by the end cover 200 and the side panel.

[0073] In addition, a foaming cavity is formed between the door liner 300 and the door shell, which is used to fill the foaming material.

[0074] The end cap 200 is provided with a connecting part 230 at its top corner; The connecting part 230 contacts the door frame 300; the shape of the contact surface between the connecting part 230 and the door frame 300 matches the shape of the top corner of the door frame 300. For example, the end cover 200 includes at least a front upright plate 211 and a rear upright plate 212; wherein, the front upright plate 211 is fixedly connected to the panel 110; the rear upright plate 212 is connected to the door frame 300; and the connecting part 230 is located at the end of the rear upright plate 212. The end cap 200 is also provided with a shielding member 240 at the top corner. The shielding member 240 extends upward from the bottom surface of the end cap 200 and is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the end cap 200. The shielding member 240 is arranged adjacent to the connecting part 230.

[0075] Since the shielding member 240 can extend directly upwards from the bottom surface of the end cap 200, it means that the shielding member 240 is an integrally formed structure with the end cap 200. Therefore, the mold for manufacturing the end cap 200 does not require an inclined ejector; it can be directly formed from the mold, simplifying the mold structure and reducing costs.

[0076] In this embodiment, a shielding member 240 is added at the position of the end cap 200, which further increases the contact area between the end cap 200 and the door shell 300, thereby effectively improving the sealing performance of the door body 10 and further preventing the foam material from overflowing; in addition, the shielding member 240 is formed by extending upward from the bottom surface of the end cap 200, and its structure has high strength, effectively preventing deformation.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 10 As shown, a refrigerator includes a cabinet 20 and a door 10 rotatably connected to the cabinet 20 via a hinge, wherein the door 10 is the refrigerator door 10 as described above.

[0078] The cabinet 20 has a receiving cavity and an opening communicating with the receiving cavity. For example, the receiving cavity can be a refrigerator compartment or a freezer compartment. Of course, the cabinet 20 can also have multiple receiving cavities; for example, the cabinet 20 can have two receiving cavities, one of which can serve as the refrigerator compartment and the other as the freezer compartment.

[0079] The door 10 is connected to the cabinet 20 to seal the opening. When the refrigerator is operating, this prevents cold air from leaking out of the cavity, thus ensuring the refrigerator's cooling effect.

[0080] The door 10 is rotatably connected to the side of the cabinet 20 where the opening is located. At this time, the door 10 can be used as a normal door structure, such as a refrigerator door or a freezer door.

[0081] Specifically, the door 10 and the cabinet 20 can be connected by a hinge, so that the refrigerator door can rotate around the axis of the hinge, thereby opening and closing the refrigerator door 10 and opening and closing the corresponding storage compartment.

[0082] In this embodiment, the door 10 adopts the refrigerator door 10 described above, that is, the top corner of the end cover 200 is also provided with a blocking member 240, which is similar in structure to the connecting part 230 at the top corner of the end cover 200.

[0083] For example, the shield 240 is located on the inner side of the arc edge where the corner of the original end cover 200 and the door shell 300 meet. At the same time, the shield 240, together with the connecting part 230 and the fixing plate, forms a cavity to accommodate the foam material, thereby delaying the foam material from entering the gap between the corner of the door shell and the end cover 200, and greatly reducing the risk of foam material overflow.

[0084] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0085] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
