detailed description

Fig. 1 is a front schematic view of a door body for a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 2 is a schematic exploded view of the bottom structure of the door body shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a connecting piece in Fig. 2 Schematic of disassembled from end cap. As shown in FIGS. 1-3 , the embodiment of the present invention provides a door body for a refrigerator, which may generally include a front shell 100 on the front side and vertically arranged, and a front shell 100 on the rear side of the front shell 100. The inner liner (not shown) and the end cap assembly at the top or bottom jointly form a closed shell-like space for forming the foam layer therein.

In the embodiment of the present utility model, each end cover assembly includes an end cover 200 and a connecting piece 300 . Wherein, the end cover 200 is arranged on one of the top end or the bottom end of the front case 100, and has a decorative plate part 210 whose outer surface is flush with the outer surface of the front case 100, and the joint between the two has an integral effect, so that the user does not notice the existence of the seam. The connecting piece 300 is used to fix the end cover 200 to the front shell 100 . In the actual operation process, the connecting member 300 can be fixedly installed on the inner side of the end cover 200 first, and then snapped to the front shell 100 .

The above-mentioned end cover 200 can be arranged at the top and/or bottom of the front shell 100. The embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-3 takes the end cover at the bottom of the front shell 100 as an example to introduce the above-mentioned door body structure . As shown in FIGS. 1-3 , the front case 100 may include a front panel portion 110 and two side portions 120 , 130 respectively extending rearward from two lateral edges of the panel portion 110 . That is, the front shell 100 is a U-shaped structure, and the side parts 120, 130 form the appearance of the lateral sides of the door body. Correspondingly, the main body part of the end cover 200 covers the bottom opening of the front case 100, and the front edge and lateral side edges of the main body part respectively extend toward the edge of the panel part 110 and the edges of the side parts 120, 130 and are aligned with connected to form the decorative plate portion 210 . Thus, the decorative plate part 210 together with the panel part 110 and the side parts 120 and 130 constitute the appearance of the front side and lateral side sides of the door body. Therefore, during the manufacturing process of the door body, various appearance effects of the door body can be realized by performing various designs on the decorative plate part 210 .

In some embodiments, the front case 100 is made of sheet metal, and the edge of the front shell 100 may have an inwardly bent flange 140 , and the edge of the trim part 210 is against the outer surface of the flange 140 . After the connecting piece 300 is fixed on the end cover 200 , a part thereof protrudes from the edge of the end cover 200 , and this part abuts against the inner surface of the end of the front case 100 for connecting with the front case 100 . To accommodate the flange 140 , a receiving groove 301 is formed on the connecting member 300 .

FIG. 4 is an enlarged schematic view of part A in FIG. 3 . Please combine Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, there are a plurality of clamping ribs 310 on the side wall of the receiving groove 301 opposite to the end cover 200, after the flange 140 enters the receiving groove 301, the clamping ribs 310 will abut against the flange The inner surface of side 140. The surface of the clamping rib 310 in contact with the flange 140 can be set as an inclined surface, the closer to the bottom of the groove, the smaller the distance between it and the other side wall of the receiving groove 301, so that the flange 140 can be placed in the process of entering the receiving groove 301 The middle is gradually clamped. In addition, some obliquely extending convex ribs 360 may also be provided at the portion where the connecting member 300 is in contact with the side portion 120 , so as to fix the flange formed by the side portion.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view of the bottom structure of the door body shown in FIG. 2 viewed from another angle, and FIG. 6 is an enlarged schematic view of part B in FIG. 3 . As shown in the above figures, the flange 140 can be clamped on the connecting member 300 to realize the fixing between the end cover 200 and the front shell 100 . Specifically, a clamping hole 142 may be provided on the flange 140, and a clamping protrusion for clamping in the clamping hole 142 is provided on the side wall (the side wall opposite to the clamping rib 310) of the receiving groove 301 of the connector 300. From 320.

As mentioned above, the flange 140 can realize the fixing between the connecting piece 300 and the front shell 100, but in order to achieve a better fixing effect, in some embodiments of the present utility model, only the panel part 110 of the front shell 100 All sections of the end edges and partial sections of the end edges of the two side parts 120 , 130 are provided with flanges, and the remaining parts are not provided with flanges. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 6 , the decorative plate part 210 (the part in contact with the side part) and the connector 300 jointly define an insertion slot 303 , and the part sections of the side parts 120 and 130 that do not form flanges are inserted into the insertion slot 303 Inside. Since the end edge of the front shell 100 is inserted into the insertion slot 303, a step will be generated, so the insertion part is arranged on the side surface instead of the panel portion 110, so that the front appearance of the door body will not be affected. Further, one side wall of the insertion groove 303 can also be formed with an insertion rib 340 , and the insertion rib 340 and the other side wall of the insertion groove 303 clamp the edge of the side portion 130 , as shown in FIG. 6 . The insertion rib 340 is preferably disposed on the connector 300 . Through the clamping rib 310, the insertion slot 303, the clamping hole and the clamping protrusion, the cooperation between the front case 100 and the connector 300 is very stable and the installation process is also relatively convenient.

The connecting member 300 can be fixedly installed on the end cover 200 in various forms, such as threaded connection, adhesive bonding and the like. For the convenience of installation, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting piece 300 is fixedly installed on the end cover 200 by buckling. In addition, in order to achieve good positioning between the connecting piece 300 and the end cover 200, the end cover 200 is preferably provided with at least one positioning pin 240, and the connecting piece 300 is provided with at least one positioning hole 330 matched with the positioning pin 240. When the 300 is fixed on the end cover 200 , the positioning pin 240 is inserted into the positioning hole 330 .

Another aspect of the embodiment of the utility model also provides a refrigerator, which includes the above-mentioned door body. Because the outer surface of the decorative plate part 210 of the end cover 200 is set to be flush with the outer surface of the front shell 100, there is no step at the junction of the two, so dust will not accumulate, and the appearance of the door body has a clear appearance. The feeling of one body is very beautiful.

So far, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although a number of exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, the present invention can still be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Many other variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the utility model are directly determined or derived from the disclosed content of the new model. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and deemed to cover all such other variations or modifications.
