Door body and refrigerator

Abstract

This application discloses a door and a refrigerator, belonging to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, aiming to solve the technical problem of gaps easily forming between the frame and the panel in a door. In this door, the side of the door frame facing the panel has a mounting groove, and a stop rib is provided in the mounting groove. A snap-fit ​​gap is formed between the stop rib and the first groove wall of the mounting groove. The snap-fit ​​plate at the end of the panel is snapped into the snap-fit ​​gap to snap the panel onto the door frame, eliminating the need for adhesive to bond the panel and the door frame, thus reducing the possibility of gaps between the panel and the door frame. The mounting plate also has a material passage hole that penetrates the bottom of the mounting groove and is located between the snap-fit ​​plate and the second groove wall. The material passage hole is used for the passage of foaming material. When foaming material is injected into the door frame, the foaming material fills the space between the snap-fit ​​plate and the second groove wall through the material passage hole to support and bond the snap-fit ​​plate and the second groove wall, thus bonding the snap-fit ​​plate to the door frame and reducing the possibility of the snap-fit ​​plate detaching from the snap-fit ​​gap.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, and in particular to a door and a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] The refrigerator includes a cabinet and a door. The cabinet defines a cooling compartment. The door is attached to the cabinet to open or close the cooling compartment. The door includes a frame and a panel. The panel is adhered to one side of the frame along its thickness and faces the user to enhance the door's aesthetic appeal.

[0003] The adhesive between the frame and the panel will age or fall off as the refrigerator is used over time, causing gaps between the panel and the frame. This not only affects the appearance of the door, but may also reduce the door's sealing and insulation performance, increasing the refrigerator's energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a door body that can solve the technical problem that gaps easily occur between the frame and the panel in related door bodies.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a gate body, including:

[0006] Panel, including:

[0007] Motherboard body;

[0008] The card is tilted relative to the motherboard body. The card has a first end and a second end. The first end is connected to the edge of the motherboard body, and the second end extends away from the motherboard body.

[0009] A door frame, located on the side of the panel near the snap-fit ​​plate, includes:

[0010] Side panel, extending along the thickness direction of the door frame;

[0011] The mounting plate has a third end and a fourth end, the third end being connected to the end of the side plate near the panel, and the fourth end extending toward the inside of the door frame; the mounting plate has a mounting groove on the side facing the panel, the mounting groove including a first groove wall and a second groove wall.

[0012] A stop rib is set in the mounting groove, the stop rib is spaced apart from the first groove wall, and forms a snap-fit ​​gap with the first groove wall; a snap-fit ​​plate is snapped into the snap-fit ​​gap.

[0013] The material passage hole is constructed on the mounting plate and penetrates the bottom of the mounting groove. The material passage hole is located between the snap-fit ​​plate and the second groove wall. The material passage hole is used to allow the foaming material to pass through. The mounting groove located between the snap-fit ​​plate and the second groove wall is filled with foaming material.

[0014] In this embodiment of the application, the door body has a snap-fit ​​plate that snaps into the snap-fit ​​gap to snap the panel into the door frame. After the snap-fit ​​plate is snapped into the snap-fit ​​gap, the panel is snapped into the door frame. When foaming material is filled into the door frame through the end of the door frame away from the panel along the thickness direction, the foaming material first fills the side of the mounting plate away from the panel, and then flows through the material passage hole to the space between the snap-fit ​​plate and the second groove wall. After the foaming material cures, it can further support and bond the snap-fit ​​plate and the second groove wall, bonding the side of the snap-fit ​​plate away from the first groove wall to the door frame, thereby improving the connection strength between the panel and the door frame. Since there is no need to set adhesive between the main body and the mounting plate, the possibility of gaps between the panel and the frame due to adhesive aging is reduced, making it less likely for gaps to form between the frame and the panel, thus improving the sealing and heat insulation performance of the door body.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the size of the snap-fit ​​gap decreases from the opening of the mounting groove to the bottom of the groove along the width direction of the mounting groove.

[0016] This design allows for a larger interlocking gap at the opening of the mounting groove, facilitating the insertion of the second end of the interlocking plate into the gap near the opening. The interlocking gap decreases from the opening to the bottom of the mounting groove, ensuring that after the second end of the interlocking plate is inserted into the gap near the opening, as the panel continues to move towards the door frame, the interlocking plate can ultimately engage in a smaller interlocking gap. This reduces the interlocking plate's freedom of movement along the width of the mounting groove within the gap, minimizing the possibility of the panel moving relative to the door frame along the width of the mounting groove and improving the reliability of the panel-door frame connection.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the side of the stop rib facing the first groove wall has a snap-fit ​​surface, a guide surface and a prepositioning surface connected in sequence; the snap-fit ​​surface is close to the bottom of the mounting groove; the prepositioning surface is close to the opening of the mounting groove.

[0018] Along the width direction of the mounting groove, the distance between the prepositioning surface and the first groove wall is greater than the distance between the snap-fit ​​surface and the first groove wall, and the distance between the guide surface and the first groove wall decreases from the end closer to the prepositioning surface to the end farther away from the prepositioning surface.

[0019] This configuration results in a large distance between the pre-positioning surface and the first groove wall, facilitating the insertion of the second end of the snap-fit ​​plate between them for pre-positioning. Conversely, a smaller distance between the snap-fit ​​surface and the first groove wall reduces the snap-fit ​​plate's degree of freedom along the width of the mounting groove within the snap-fit ​​gap, thus decreasing the likelihood of the panel moving relative to the door frame along the width of the mounting groove and improving the reliability of the connection between the panel and the door frame.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the first groove wall is closer to the side plate than the second groove wall.

[0021] This configuration allows the snap-fit ​​plate to be snapped into the mounting groove on the side closest to the side plate, and the material passage hole to connect with the part of the mounting groove away from the side plate. This brings the material passage hole closer to the inside of the door frame, shortening the distance between the material passage hole and the opening at the end of the door frame away from the panel. This makes it easier for the foaming material filled through the opening at the end of the door frame away from the panel to flow into the material passage hole, thus making it easier to fill the mounting groove between the snap-fit ​​plate and the second groove wall with foaming material.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the side of the stop rib facing away from the snap-fit ​​gap is connected to the second groove wall.

[0023] With this configuration, the second groove wall supports the stop rib, improving the structural strength of the stop rib and making it less prone to deformation under the pressure of the snap-fit ​​plate.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the panel further includes:

[0025] The side plate has a fifth end and a sixth end, the fifth end is connected to the edge of the main body, and the sixth end extends towards the mounting plate, and the sixth end corresponds to the part of the mounting plate located between the mounting groove and the third end.

[0026] The connecting plate has a seventh end and an eighth end, the seventh end being connected to the sixth end, and the eighth end extending towards the mounting groove and being connected to the first end.

[0027] This design increases the distance between the connecting plate and the edge of the main body, making the connecting plate less visible to the user from the outside of the door and improving the door's decorative effect. Along the thickness direction of the door, the dimension of the side panel is the surface thickness of the panel.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, the door body further includes a support member disposed between the main body and the mounting plate, and a portion of the support member extends between the main body and the connecting plate.

[0029] This design allows the support components to support the motherboard body, making it less likely for the motherboard body to move towards the mounting plate under external forces, thus improving the structural strength of the motherboard body and making it less prone to deformation.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, a material passage gap is formed between the support member and the mounting plate, and the material passage gap is used to fill the foam material.

[0031] With this configuration, when foam material is injected into the door frame, some of the foam material can fill the material passage gap to support and bond the support component and the mounting plate, thus bonding the side of the support component away from the main body to the mounting plate and improving the connection strength between the panel and the door frame.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, the door body further includes a door liner, which is disposed on the side of the door frame away from the panel. The door liner, door frame, and panel together form an insulation cavity, which is connected to a material passage hole. The insulation cavity is filled with foaming material.

[0033] This design allows the foam material filling the mounting groove between the snap-fit ​​plate and the second groove wall to support and bond the snap-fit ​​plate and the second groove wall, thus adhering the side of the snap-fit ​​plate away from the first groove wall to the door frame and improving the connection strength between the panel and the door frame. Since there is no need to apply adhesive between the panel and the frame, the possibility of gaps forming between the panel and the frame due to adhesive aging is reduced.

[0034] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a refrigerator, including a cabinet and a door as described in any of the above embodiments;

[0035] The enclosure is designed to include a refrigeration compartment.

[0036] The door is connected to the cabinet to open or close the refrigeration compartment.

[0037] The refrigerator of this embodiment includes a door panel and a door frame. A snap-fit ​​plate for the panel is fitted into a snap-fit ​​gap in the door frame to secure the panel to the frame. After the snap-fit ​​plate is fitted into the snap-fit ​​gap, when foaming material is injected into the door frame through the end of the door frame away from the panel along its thickness direction, the foaming material first fills the side of the mounting plate away from the panel, and then flows through the material passage to the space between the snap-fit ​​plate and the second groove wall. After the foaming material cures, it can further support and bond the snap-fit ​​plate and the second groove wall, bonding the side of the snap-fit ​​plate away from the first groove wall to the door frame, thus improving the connection strength between the panel and the door frame. Since there is no need to place adhesive between the main panel and the mounting plate, the possibility of gaps forming between the panel and the frame due to adhesive aging is reduced, making it less likely for gaps to form between the frame and the panel, improving the sealing and insulation performance of the door, and reducing the refrigerator's energy consumption.

[0066] To make the objectives and implementation methods of this application clearer, the exemplary implementation methods of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the exemplary embodiments of this application. Obviously, the exemplary embodiments described are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0067] It should be noted that the brief descriptions of terms in this application are only for the convenience of understanding the embodiments described below, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. Unless otherwise stated, these terms should be understood in their ordinary and common meaning.

[0068] The terms "first," "second," "third," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar or related objects or entities, and do not necessarily imply a specific order or sequence, unless otherwise specified. It should be understood that such terms are interchangeable where appropriate.

[0069] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover but not exclude inclusion, for example, a product or device that includes a range of components is not necessarily limited to all of the components that are clearly listed, but may include other components that are not clearly listed or that are inherent to such product or device.

[0070] As stated in the background art, the door body in the related art has a technical problem that gaps are easily generated between the frame and the panel. The inventors have found that the reason for this problem is that the side of the panel facing the frame is glued to the frame with adhesive. As the refrigerator is used for a long time, the adhesive will age or fall off, resulting in gaps between the panel and the frame.

[0071] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a door and a refrigerator. The door frame has a mounting groove on the side facing the panel, and a stop rib is provided within the mounting groove. A snap-fit ​​gap is formed between the stop rib and the first wall of the mounting groove. A snap-fit ​​plate at the end of the panel is snapped into this gap to secure the panel to the door frame. This eliminates the need for adhesive to bond the panel and door frame, reducing the possibility of gaps between them. Furthermore, the mounting plate has a material passage hole that penetrates the bottom of the mounting groove and is located between the snap-fit ​​plate and the second wall. The material passage hole allows foaming material to pass through. After the snap-fit ​​plate is engaged in the snap-fit ​​gap, when foaming material is injected into the door frame, some of the foaming material can enter the mounting groove through the material passage hole and fill the space between the snap-fit ​​plate and the second wall, further supporting and bonding the snap-fit ​​plate and the second wall. This bonds the side of the snap-fit ​​plate away from the first wall to the door frame, reducing the possibility of the snap-fit ​​plate detaching from the snap-fit ​​gap and improving the connection strength between the panel and the door frame. Since there is no need to apply adhesive between the panel and the frame, the possibility of gaps forming between the panel and the frame due to adhesive aging is reduced.

[0072] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0073] refer to Figure 1 The door body provided in this application embodiment includes a door frame 10 and a panel 20. The door frame 10 has a certain thickness, and the panel 20 is disposed on one side of the door frame 10 along the thickness direction Y. The panel 20 is used to face the user to improve the decorative effect of the door body.

[0074] refer to Figure 2The door frame 10 may include a side panel 110 located on the periphery, which extends along the thickness direction Y of the door frame 10. The side panel 110 may include an upper panel 111, a lower panel 112, a first side panel 113, and a second side panel 114. The upper panel 111 and the lower panel 112 are spaced apart relative to each other along the height direction Z of the door frame 10, with the upper panel 111 located above the lower panel 112. The first side panel 113 and the second side panel 114 are spaced apart relative to each other along the width direction X of the door frame 10. The upper panel 111, the first side panel 113, the lower panel 112, and the second side panel 114 are connected end to end in sequence to form the side panel 110.

[0075] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the upper plate 111, the first side plate 113, the lower plate 112 and the second side plate 114 can be integrally formed, which reduces the assembly process of the door frame 10 and reduces the possibility of leakage when filling foam material due to poor splicing.

[0076] In some other possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the upper plate 111, the first side plate 113, the lower plate 112, and the second side plate 114 can be sequentially spliced ​​together end to end. When processing and manufacturing the door frame 10, the upper plate 111, the lower plate 112, the first side plate 113, and the second side plate 114 can be processed and manufactured separately, which simplifies the mold structure of the upper plate 111, the lower plate 112, the first side plate 113, and the second side plate 114, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs.

[0077] Furthermore, the upper panel 111, lower panel 112, first side panel 113, and second side panel 114 are manufactured separately, allowing for the use of different materials and manufacturing processes. For example, the first side panel 113 and second side panel 114 can be manufactured using high-strength metal materials to ensure the structural strength of the door; while the upper panel 111 and lower panel 112 can be made of plastic materials and injection molded to achieve complex shapes and functions, such as installing handles and sealing structures.

[0078] refer to Figure 2 The door frame 10 may also include a mounting plate 120. The mounting plate 120 is connected to the end of the side plate 110 near the panel 20. The surface of the mounting plate 120 may be substantially parallel to the surface of the panel 20. The mounting plate 120 is used for connection to the panel 20.

[0079] refer to Figure 3 The mounting plate 120 has a third end 121 and a fourth end 122. The third end 121 is connected to the end of the side plate 110 near the panel 20, and the fourth end 122 extends toward the inside of the door frame 10.

[0080] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting plate 120 may have a mounting groove 130 on the side facing the panel 20. The mounting groove 130 includes a first groove wall 133 and a second groove wall 134. The first groove wall 133 and the second groove wall 134 extend along the length direction of the mounting groove 130, respectively.

[0081] refer to Figure 4 The door frame 10 may also include a stop rib 140, which is disposed in the mounting groove 130. The stop rib 140 and the first groove wall 133 are spaced apart along the width direction of the mounting groove 130 and form a snap-fit ​​gap 141 with the first groove wall 133.

[0082] The stop rib 140 can be in the form of a plate or a block. The end of the stop rib 140 facing away from the first groove wall 133 can be connected to the second groove wall 134, and the end of the stop rib 140 facing the bottom 132 of the mounting groove 130 can be connected to the bottom 132 of the mounting groove 130.

[0083] Panel 20 may include main body 210, which is located on the side of door frame 10 along the thickness direction close to mounting plate 120. Main body 210 covers one side of door frame 10 along the thickness direction, so that panel 20 faces the user, improving the decorative effect of door.

[0084] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The panel 20 may also include a snap-fit ​​plate 220, which is inclined relative to the main board body 210. For example, the snap-fit ​​plate 220 may be approximately perpendicular to the main board body 210, or the snap-fit ​​plate 220 may be offset at a small angle relative to the position perpendicular to the main board body 210. The snap-fit ​​plate 220 has a first end 221 and a second end 222, the first end 221 being connected to the edge of the main board body 210, and the second end 222 extending away from the main board body 210, or in other words, the second end 222 extending toward the mounting plate 120.

[0085] refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The snap-fit ​​plate 220 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​gap 141 to snap the panel 20 into the door frame 10.

[0086] refer to Figure 4 The mounting plate 120 may also be constructed with a material passage hole 150, which penetrates the bottom 132 of the mounting groove 130. (Reference) Figure 8 The material passage 150 is located between the snap-fit ​​plate 220 and the second groove wall 134, and is used for the passage of foaming material. The mounting groove 130 located between the snap-fit ​​plate 220 and the second groove wall 134 is filled with foaming material.

[0087] After the snap-fit ​​plate 220 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​gap 141, the panel 20 is snapped into the door frame 10. When foaming material is filled into the door frame 10 through the end of the door frame 10 away from the panel 20 along the thickness direction, the foaming material first fills the side of the mounting plate 120 away from the panel 20, and then flows through the material passage 150 to the space between the snap-fit ​​plate 220 and the second groove wall 134. After the foaming material cures, it can further support and bond the snap-fit ​​plate 220 and the second groove wall 134, and bond the side of the snap-fit ​​plate 220 away from the first groove wall 133 to the door frame 10. This reduces the possibility of the snap-fit ​​plate 220 coming out of the snap-fit ​​gap 141 and improves the connection strength between the panel 20 and the door frame 10. Since there is no need to apply adhesive between the main body 210 and the mounting plate 120, the possibility of gaps forming between the panel 20 and the frame due to adhesive aging is reduced. This makes it less likely for gaps to form between the frame and the panel 20, improving the door's sealing and insulation performance. When the door is used in a refrigerator, it reduces the refrigerator's energy consumption.

[0088] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 10 and Figure 11 Along the width direction of the mounting groove 130, the size of the snap-fit ​​gap 141 decreases from the opening 131 of the mounting groove 130 to the bottom 132 of the groove, or in other words, the distance between the side of the stop rib 140 facing the first groove wall 133 and the first groove wall 133 decreases from the opening 131 of the mounting groove 130 to the bottom 132 of the groove.

[0089] The size of the snap-fit ​​gap 141 at the slot 131 of the mounting slot 130 is large, so that the second end 222 of the snap-fit ​​plate 220 can be inserted into the end of the snap-fit ​​gap 141 near the slot 131.

[0090] The size of the snap-fit ​​gap 141 decreases from the opening 131 of the mounting groove 130 to the bottom 132 of the groove. This allows the snap-fit ​​plate 220 to eventually snap into the smaller snap-fit ​​gap 141 when the second end 222 of the snap-fit ​​plate 220 continues to move toward the door frame 10 after being inserted into the end of the snap-fit ​​gap 141 near the opening 131. This reduces the degree of freedom of the snap-fit ​​plate 220 in the width direction of the mounting groove 130 within the snap-fit ​​gap 141, reduces the possibility of the panel 20 moving relative to the door frame 10 in the width direction of the mounting groove 130, and improves the reliability of the connection between the panel 20 and the door frame 10.

[0091] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 11 The stop rib 140 has a snap-fit ​​surface 142, a guide surface 143 and a prepositioning surface 144 connected in sequence on the side facing the first groove wall 133.

[0092] The snap-fit ​​surface 142 is close to the bottom 132 of the mounting groove 130. The pre-positioning surface 144 is close to the opening 131 of the mounting groove 130.

[0093] Along the width direction of the mounting groove 130, the distance between the prepositioning surface 144 and the first groove wall 133 is greater than the distance between the snap-fit ​​surface 142 and the first groove wall 133, and the distance between the guide surface 143 and the first groove wall 133 decreases from the end closer to the prepositioning surface 144 to the end farther away from the prepositioning surface 144.

[0094] When installing the panel 20 and the door frame 10, the distance between the prepositioning surface 144 and the first groove wall 133 is large, so that the second end 222 of the snap-fit ​​plate 220 can be inserted between the prepositioning surface 144 and the first groove wall 133 to preposition the snap-fit ​​plate 220.

[0095] After the snap-fit ​​plate 220 is inserted between the prepositioning surface 144 and the first groove wall 133, the panel 20 continues to move towards the door frame 10. The snap-fit ​​plate 220 will slide along the guide surface 143 to the snap-fit ​​surface 142 and the first groove wall 133. The guide surface 143 guides the snap-fit ​​plate 220 so that the snap-fit ​​plate 220 can slide more smoothly from the snap-fit ​​gap 141 corresponding to the prepositioning surface 144 to the snap-fit ​​gap 141 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​surface 142.

[0096] The distance between the snap-fit ​​surface 142 and the first groove wall 133 is small, so as to reduce the degree of freedom of the snap-fit ​​plate 220 in the width direction of the mounting groove 130 within the snap-fit ​​gap 141, reduce the possibility of the panel 20 moving relative to the door frame 10 in the width direction of the mounting groove 130, and improve the reliability of the connection between the panel 20 and the door frame 10.

[0097] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 8 The first groove wall 133 is closer to the side plate 110 than the second groove wall 134, so that the snap-fit ​​plate 220 is snapped into the side of the mounting groove 130 near the side plate 110. The material passage hole 150 is connected to the part of the mounting groove 130 away from the side plate 110, so that the material passage hole 150 is closer to the interior of the door frame 10, shortening the distance between the material passage hole 150 and the opening at the end of the door frame 10 away from the panel 20. This makes it easier for the foaming material filled through the opening at the end of the door frame 10 away from the panel 20 to flow into the material passage hole 150, thereby making it easier to fill the mounting groove 130 between the snap-fit ​​plate 220 and the second groove wall 134 with foaming material.

[0098] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 11The side of the stop rib 140 away from the snap-fit ​​gap 141 is connected to the second groove wall 134. The second groove wall 134 supports the stop rib 140, which improves the structural strength of the stop rib 140 and makes the stop rib 140 less likely to deform under the pressure of the snap-fit ​​plate 220.

[0099] In some other possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the first groove wall 133 may be farther away from the side plate 110 than the second groove wall 134, so that the snap-fit ​​plate 220 is snapped onto the side of the mounting groove 130 away from the side plate 110.

[0100] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 The panel 20 may also include a connecting plate 240, which can be connected between the main body 210 and the snap-on plate 220. That is, the snap-on plate 220 is indirectly connected to the main body 210 through the connecting plate 240.

[0101] The connecting plate 240 can be located on the side of the main body 210 facing the door frame 10, and the connecting plate 240 can be approximately parallel to the main body 210. The connecting plate 240 can have a seventh end 241 and an eighth end 242, the seventh end 241 is connected to the edge of the main body 210, and the eighth end 242 extends towards the mounting groove 130 and is connected to the first end 221 of the snap-fit ​​plate 220.

[0102] The connecting plate 240 can increase the distance between the edge of the snap-fit ​​plate 220 and the main body 210, making it difficult for users to see the snap-fit ​​plate 220 from the outside of the door, thus improving the decorative effect of the door.

[0103] In addition, the side of the connecting plate 240 away from the main body 210 is fitted with the mounting plate 120 located outside the mounting groove 130. The mounting plate 120 can support the connecting plate 240 to improve the support strength of the door frame 10 to the panel 20, making the panel 20 less prone to deformation.

[0104] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 The panel 20 may also include a side edge plate 230, which can be connected between the main body 210 and the connecting plate 240. The side edge plate 230 can extend generally along the thickness direction of the door body, and has a fifth end 231 and a sixth end 232. The fifth end 231 is connected to the edge of the main body 210, and the sixth end 232 extends toward the mounting plate 120 and is connected to the seventh end 241 of the connecting plate 240.

[0105] Along the thickness direction of the door body, the size of the side panel 230 is the appearance thickness of the panel 20. The size of the side panel 230 can be set according to the appearance thickness that the panel 20 needs to display, such as 2 mm or 3 mm.

[0106] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 8-14 The door body may also include a support member 30, which may be plate-shaped, sheet-shaped, or other shapes. The support member 30 is disposed between the main body 210 and the mounting plate 120, and a portion of the support member 30 extends between the main body 210 and the connecting plate 240.

[0107] The support member 30 is fitted to the motherboard body 210 on the side facing the motherboard body 210, and the support member 30 can be fitted to the connecting plate 240 on the side away from the motherboard body 210. The support member 30 supports the motherboard body 210, making it less likely for the motherboard body 210 to move toward the mounting plate 120 under the action of external force, thereby improving the structural strength of the motherboard body 210 and making it less likely for the motherboard body 210 to deform.

[0108] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 14 A material passage gap 301 is formed between the support member 30 and the mounting plate 120, which is used to fill the foam material.

[0109] The side of the support plate facing the main body 210 can be approximately parallel to the main body 210. Since the connecting plate 240 is located between the support member 30 and the mounting plate 120, the material passage gap 301 between the mounting plate 120 and the support member 30 is approximately equal to the thickness of the connecting plate 240. When foaming material is injected into the door frame 10, some of the foaming material can fill into the material passage gap 301 to support and bond the support member 30 and the mounting plate 120, thus bonding the side of the support member 30 away from the main body 210 to the mounting plate 120, thereby improving the connection strength between the panel 20 and the door frame 10.

[0110] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 The door body also includes a door core 40, which is located on the side of the door frame 10 away from the panel 20. The door core 40, the door frame 10 and the panel 20 together form an insulation cavity 401, which is connected to the material passage hole 150.

[0111] The insulation cavity 401, the material passage hole 150, and the mounting groove 130 located between the snap-fit ​​plate 220 and the second groove wall 134 are respectively filled with foaming material.

[0112] The foam material filled in the insulation cavity 401 can not only improve the heat insulation effect of the door, but also support the main body 210, making the main body 210 less prone to deformation and improving the structural strength of the main body 210.

[0113] The foaming material filling the mounting groove 130 between the snap-fit ​​plate 220 and the second groove wall 134 can support and bond the snap-fit ​​plate 220 and the second groove wall 134, bonding the side of the snap-fit ​​plate 220 away from the first groove wall 133 to the door frame 10, thereby improving the connection strength between the panel 20 and the door frame 10. Since there is no need to apply adhesive between the panel 20 and the frame, the possibility of gaps forming between the panel 20 and the frame due to adhesive aging is reduced.

[0114] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 The mounting plate 120 may include a first plate body 120a, which may be connected to the upper plate body 111.
