Taking a french refrigerator door as an example, please refer to fig. 1 to 4, the conventional french refrigerator includes a left refrigerating door 001, a right refrigerating door 002, an upper freezing door 003 and a lower freezing door 004. There is a flip beam 005 on the refrigerated left door 001. When the French refrigerator is not opened, the refrigerating left door 001, the refrigerating right door 002, the upper freezing door 003 and the lower freezing door 004 are combined into a French refrigerator mode when viewed from the front. The turnover beam 005 prevents space exchange between the inside of the refrigerator and the outside of the refrigerator between the refrigerating left door 001 and the refrigerating right door 002. The arrangement of the turning beam 005 requires that the turning beam is in a parallel state relative to the door body after the door body of the refrigerator is closed, when the door body of the refrigerator is opened, the turning beam must be in a vertical state relative to the door body, otherwise, the turning beam and another door body are impacted when the door body is closed, so that the door cannot be smoothly closed.

In addition, in other situations where the door split-door assembly needs to be applied, in order to ensure the sealing effect of the door assembly on the premise of normal opening and closing of the door leaves, the turning beam 005 or other components also need to be arranged between the two oppositely arranged door leaves to eliminate the gap, so that the operation of the door split-door assembly is inconvenient and the risk of abnormal damage exists.

Based on the above problems in the prior art, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a door assembly, which includes a plurality of door leaves, and the specific number of the door leaves is not limited. When the number of the door leaves is multiple, the gaps between the adjacent door leaves can be eliminated when the door leaves are in a closed state; when the door leaf is one, the door leaf can eliminate the gap between the opening side of the door leaf and the door frame in the closed state.

Referring to fig. 5 to 25, for the door leaf, the door leaf includes two door bodies that can move relatively, that is, a first door body 1 and a second door body 2. The first door body 1 is suitable for being rotatably connected to a part to be installed (such as a door frame, a box body and the like), and then can drive the second door body 2 to rotate, so that the door leaf is opened and closed integrally. Taking a refrigerator as an example, the to-be-installed part is also referred to as a refrigerator body of the refrigerator, the door leaf is installed on the refrigerator body, and when the first door body 1 drives the second door body 2 to rotate towards the refrigerator body 26 of the refrigerator, the door leaf can be closed; when the first door body 1 drives the second door body 2 to rotate back to the box body 26, the door leaf can be opened. Of course, the door assembly provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to various scenes such as a refrigerator, a cabinet, a wardrobe and even a living room.

On the basis, the second door body 2 is suitable for moving towards the opening side or the hinged side of the first door body 1 relative to the first door body 1, and then the second door body 2 can be switched between the sealing position and the avoiding position. When the second door 2 moves towards the opening side of the first door 1, the gap 24 at the opening side of the second door 2 can be eliminated, and then the second door 2 correspondingly moves to the sealing position at the moment. When the second door body 2 moves towards the hinged side of the first door body 1, a gap 24 can be formed at the opening side of the second door body 2, so that the door leaf can normally rotate, and then the second door body 2 correspondingly moves to an avoiding position at the moment.

The door leaf and the first door body 1 and the second door body 2 comprising the door leaf are both provided with an opening side and a hinged side. Taking a refrigerator as an example, the side of the door leaf mounted to the cabinet 26 is a hinge side thereof, and the side opposite to the hinge side is an opening side thereof. With reference to fig. 8 and 10, for the door leaf on the left side, the left side of the door leaf is the hinged side thereof, and the right side of the door leaf is the opening side thereof; for a door leaf on the right side, the right side of the door leaf is its hinged side and the left side of the door leaf is its open side. The opening side of the first door body 1 and the opening side of the second door body 2 correspond to the opening sides of the door leaves, and the hinged side of the first door body 1 and the hinged side of the second door body 2 correspond to the hinged side of the door leaves. In addition, the gap 24 on the opening side of the second door body 2 is also the gap 24 on the opening side of the door. When the door assembly is a split door assembly, the gap 24 at the opening side of the door leaf refers to the gap 24 between the split door leaves; when the door assembly is a single-opening door assembly, the gap 24 at the door-opening side refers to the gap 24 between the door and the door frame (or other member of the door to be installed).

The door leaf of the embodiment of the invention can be switched between the closed state and the open state. When the door leaf is in the closed state, the second door body 2 is in the sealing position at the moment to eliminate the gap 24 on the opening side of the door leaf; when the door leaf is switched between the closed state and the open state, the second door body 2 is at an avoiding position to ensure that the door leaf can be normally opened or closed.

According to the door assembly provided by the embodiment of the invention, the door leaf comprises the first door body 1 and the second door body 2, and the second door body 2 can move relative to the first door body 1, so that when the door leaf is in a closed state, the second door body 2 is moved to a sealing position or kept at the sealing position in order to ensure the sealing effect of the door leaf. When the door leaf needs to be opened or closed, the second door body 2 is moved to or kept at the avoiding position in order to prevent the movement of the door leaf from being interfered. When the door assembly is applied to a refrigerator, the dependence of the traditional refrigerator on a turnover beam can be changed, and the defect that the storage space is divided inflexibly due to the arrangement of the partition plate on the refrigerator body 26 is overcome.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to fig. 13 to 17, the first door body 1 of the door leaf is adapted to be connected to the component to be installed through a cam hinge 28, and the second door body 2 is provided with a driving portion 29 in contact fit with the cam hinge 28. In the process of switching the door from the closed state to the open state, the driving portion 29 rotates relative to the cam hinge 28, and the distance between the driving portion 29 and the axis of the cam hinge 28 is reduced, so that the second door body 2 moves toward the hinge side of the first door body 1 relative to the first door body 1. In this case, the door assembly can enable the second door body 2 to move relative to the first door body 1 without additionally arranging a power unit.

In the process of switching the door leaf from the closed state to the open state, the second door body moves towards the hinged side of the first door body relative to the first door body, and then the second door body can move to an avoiding position. On the contrary, when the door leaf is switched from the opening state to the closing state, the second door body moves towards the opening side of the first door body relative to the first door body, and then the second door body can move to the sealing position. Therefore, the door assembly can automatically realize the sealing of the door assembly along with the opening and closing of the door, or automatically move the door leaf to the avoiding position to prevent the interference of the opening of the door assembly. When the door assembly is applied to the refrigerator, the dependence of the traditional refrigerator on the overturning beam can be changed, and the defect that the storage space is divided inflexibly due to the arrangement of the partition plate on the refrigerator body is overcome.

Taking the application of the door assembly to a refrigerator as an example, the above-mentioned portion to be installed is the cabinet 26 of the refrigerator. Of course, since the application scenario of the door assembly of the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the refrigerator, the to-be-installed part may also refer to other objects.

Referring to fig. 17, in the process that the driving portion 29 on the door is closer to the opening side than the cam hinge 28 and the door is switched from the closed state to the open state, the distance between the driving portion 29 and the axis of the cam hinge 28 is reduced, so that the opening side of the door gradually forms the gap 24, and the gap 24 can ensure the normal rotation of the door and prevent the movement of the door from being interfered.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the cam hinge 28 refers to a hinge that can change the distance between the axis of the cam hinge 28 and the driving portion 29 as the door leaf rotates. The axis of the cam hinge 28 is a rotation center axis of the cam hinge 28 (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as an axis). In fig. 17, the cam hinge 28 includes a cam 281 engaged with the driving portion 29, and as the door is opened and closed, the driving portion 29 rotates with respect to the cam 281 and abuts against different positions of the cam 281, thereby changing the distance between the axes of the driving portion 29 and the cam hinge 28. The structural form of the cam 281 and the driving part 29 is not limited, as long as the distance between the axis of the cam hinge 28 and the driving part 29 can be changed as the door rotates. For example, the cam 281 may be formed with an involute surface that cooperates with the drive portion 29. For another example, the driving portion 29 engaged with the cam 281 may be a stopper fixed to the hinge side of the second door 2, and the stopper is always engaged in contact with the involute surface. Of course, the driving portion 29 may be a baffle or other structure.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure the reliable engagement between the driving part 29 and the cam hinge 28, referring to fig. 17, a second elastic restoring member 30 (the first elastic restoring member 6 is mentioned later) is disposed between the first door body 1 and the second door body 2. Specifically, along the direction in which the second door body 2 moves relative to the first door body 1, two ends of the second elastic reset piece 30 are respectively connected to the first door body 1 and the second door body 2. When the door is switched from the closed state to the open state, under the action of the restoring force of the second elastic reset piece 30, the distance between the axis of the cam hinge 28 and the driving part 29 is gradually reduced; when the door is switched from the open state to the closed state, the driving portion 29 abuts against the cam 281 at different positions, so that the distance between the axis of the cam hinge 28 and the driving portion 29 is gradually increased, and in the process, the second elastic restoring member 30 is gradually deformed until the distance between the axis of the cam hinge 28 and the driving portion 29 reaches the maximum distance value.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the cam hinge 28 does not necessarily include the cam 281, for example, the cam hinge 28 may be provided with a gradually-tapered slot, and the driving portion 29 includes a driving rod capable of moving along the gradually-tapered slot, so that the distance between the axis of the cam hinge 28 and the driving rod may be changed during the door leaf rotation process by the engagement between the gradually-tapered slot and the driving rod.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the provision of the second elastic restoring member 30 to ensure that the cam hinge 28 is always in the engagement relation with the driving part 29 during the opening and closing of the door leaf, the cam hinge 28 and the driving part 29 may be always in contact by the force of the magnetic field, or the cam hinge 28 and the driving part 29 may be always in contact by the engagement between the above-mentioned involute groove and the driving lever.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, an elastic sealant may be provided at the opening side of the second door body 2. Especially when the second door is moved relative to the first door 1 by the aforementioned cam hinge 28 and the driving part 29, even if the gap 24 is zero in the closed state of the door, the normal opening and closing of the door can be facilitated by the elastic sealing layer. Specifically, if the gap 24 on the door opening side is zero or approximately zero when the door is in the closed state, the door cannot be opened if the opening side of the second door body 2 is rigid. And through the arrangement of the elastic sealing layer, the door leaf can be opened through the deformation of the elastic sealing layer. And the cooperation between the cam hinge 28 and the driving part 29 makes the opening of the door leaf gradually easy as the opening angle increases. Conversely, the closing process of the door leaf is the same principle. The structure of the elastic sealing layer may correspond to the structure of the side plate on the opening side of the second door body 2, that is, the size of the elastic sealing layer is substantially the same as that of the side plate on the opening side of the second door body 2.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the position switching of the second door 2 by the cooperation of the above cam hinge 28 and the driving part 29, a driving part may be provided to drive the second door 2 to move relative to the first door 1.

When the second door body 2 moves relative to the first door body 1 under the action of the driving piece, the second door body 2 can be driven to move to an avoiding position through the driving piece before the door leaf is opened or closed, and therefore the door leaf can be normally opened or closed easily even if the elastic sealing layer is not arranged.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, a driving member is disposed between the first door body 1 and the second door body 2, and the driving member is adapted to drive the second door body 2 to move towards the opening side and/or the hinge side of the first door body 1 corresponding to the driving member. The automatic switching of the position of the second door body 2 can be realized through the arrangement of the driving piece, and the operation of the door body is convenient. The driving member may be disposed between the first door body 1 and the second door body 2, or may be disposed at any other position that can be realized, as long as the driving member can drive the second door body 2 to realize position switching. Also, the form of the driving member is not limited as long as the power required for the movement can be supplied to the second door body 2.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 12, the driving member may include a motor 25, and the second door 2 is moved relative to the first door 1 by the motor 25. Of course, fig. 12 mainly illustrates a connection relationship between the first door body 1 and the second door body and the driving unit, and does not limit the specific structural form and the installation position of the driving unit. That is, although the motor 25 is provided on the hinge side of the first door body 1 and the second door body 2 in fig. 12, the motor 25 may alternatively be provided at another position of the door leaf. In one case, please refer to fig. 5 and fig. 6, the driving member includes a linear motor, the linear motor is installed on the first door body 1, the first door body 1 is provided with a slide rail 3, the second door body 2 is provided with a slide block 4, and an output shaft of the linear motor is connected to the slide block 4 to drive the slide block 4 to move linearly along the slide rail 3. In another case, the driving member includes a rotating electrical machine, the rotating electrical machine is mounted on the first door body 1, the first door body 1 is provided with a lead screw, the second door body 2 is provided with a nut, and an output shaft of the rotating electrical machine is connected with the lead screw to drive the nut to do linear motion along the lead screw. Therefore, when the output shaft of the rotating motor rotates, the screw rod can be driven to rotate so as to drive the nut to do linear motion along the screw rod. Of course, the mounting positions of the above rotary motor, lead screw and nut, and the mounting positions of the linear motor, slide rail 3 and slider 4 may also be correspondingly exchanged if conditions permit.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the actuating member may comprise a magnetic member which may generate a magnetic field to cause a change in the force to which the second door body 2 is subjected. The second door body 2 is switched in position based on a change in the applied force. For example, the first electromagnet 5 is provided on at least one of the first door body 1 and the second door body 2, and the first electromagnet 5 includes an energized state and a de-energized state. When the first electromagnet 5 switches the state, the acting force applied to the second door body 2 changes.

In one of these cases: one of the first door body 1 and the second door body is provided with a first electromagnet 5, and the other is provided with a magnetic member (e.g., an iron block) that can interact with the first electromagnet. Further, when the first electromagnet is energized or de-energized, the acting force acting on the magnetic member changes to move the second door body to the sealing position or the avoiding position. In another case, the first door body 1 and the second door body 2 are both provided with the first electromagnet 5, and when the first electromagnet 5 is powered on, mutually repulsive acting force is generated between the first door body 1 and the second door body 2, so that the second door body 2 moves to an avoiding position. In another case, the first door 1 and the second door 2 are both provided with the first electromagnet 5, and when the first electromagnet 5 is energized, an attractive force is generated between the first door 1 and the second door 2, so that the second door 2 moves to the sealing position.

According to the embodiment of the invention, when the door assembly is a split door assembly, the door leaves are multiple in number and comprise split door leaves which are oppositely arranged. In this case, the driving member may be provided not only between the first door body 1 and the second door body 2 of the same door but also between different door leaves. For example, the driving member includes a second electromagnet having an energized state and a de-energized state, and the second electromagnet is disposed on the opening side of the second door body 2 of the casement door. When the second electromagnet switches the state, the second door bodies 2 of the split door leaves exert or withdraw acting force mutually, so that the second door bodies 2 of the split door leaves move oppositely or oppositely. In one of these cases: the two second door bodies 2 are respectively provided with a second electromagnet, and when the second electromagnets are electrified, mutually repulsive acting force is generated between the two second door bodies 2, so that the second door bodies 2 move to avoiding positions. In another case, the two second door bodies 2 are each provided with a second electromagnet, and when the second electromagnets are energized, an attractive force is generated between the two second door bodies 2 to move the second door bodies 2 to the sealing position.

According to the embodiment of the invention, a first elastic reset piece 6 is connected between the second door body 2 and the first door body 1, and at the moment, the driving piece and the first elastic reset piece 6 respectively realize the driving and the resetting of the second door body 2. In one case, when the door leaf needs to be switched between the closed state and the open state, the driving piece drives the second door body 2 to move to the avoiding position; in the closed state, the acting force of the driving piece on the second door body 2 is removed, and the first elastic resetting piece 6 drives the second door body 2 to move to the sealing position. In the closed state, the driving member drives the second door body 2 to move to the sealing position; when the door leaf needs to be switched between the closed state and the open state, the first elastic resetting piece 6 drives the second door body 2 to move to the avoiding position. When the first elastic restoring member 6 is provided, the first elastic restoring member 6 may be fixed to the first door body 1, or the first elastic restoring member 6 may be fixed to the second door body 2.

Of course, even if the first elastic reset piece 6 is not provided, the driving and resetting of the second door body 2 can be simultaneously realized through the driving piece, so that the second door body can be in a sealing position or an avoiding position. For example, when the driving member comprises a motor 25, the second door body 2 may be driven by the motor 25 to switch between the sealing position and the retracted position. That is, when the motor 25 moves in the forward direction, the second door body 2 is driven to move to the sealing position; when the motor 25 moves in the reverse direction, the second door 2 is driven to move to the retreat position. For another example, when the driving member includes the first electromagnet 5, the second door 2 can be switched between the sealing position and the avoiding position by switching the state of the first electromagnet 5. For example, when the first electromagnet 5 is energized in the forward direction, the second door body 2 moves to the sealing position under the action of the magnetic field; when the first electromagnet 5 is electrified reversely, the second door body 2 moves to an avoiding position under the action of the magnetic field.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 5 and fig. 6, when the first elastic reset member 6 is disposed between the first door body 1 and the second door body 2, the number of the first elastic reset members 6 may be multiple, and the multiple first elastic reset members 6 are distributed along the height direction of the door leaf, so as to ensure that the first door body 1 and the second door body 2 are stressed uniformly. Of course, the number and the specific distribution of the first elastic restoring members 6 are not limited by the examples provided herein, as long as a force can be applied to the second door body 2 to restore the second door body 2.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the second door body 2 moves linearly relative to the first door body 1. In order to guide the movement of the second door body 2, linear guide structures matched with each other can be arranged between the first door body 1 and the second door body 2, and the number and the arrangement position of the linear guide structures are not limited. For example, the slide rail 3 and the slider 4 may be provided between the first door body 1 and the second door body 2. Of course, as long as the second door 2 can move to the opening side or the hinge side relative to the first door 1, the second door 2 can also move in other forms relative to the first door 1.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first door body 1 is located inside the second door body 2, refer to fig. 12. In this case, the second door body 2 completely or partially covers the first door body 1. Of course, the structural form of the first door body 1 and the second door body 2 is not limited by the examples herein, and for example, the first door body 1 and the second door body 2 may also be arranged side by side along the front-rear direction. Wherein, the front-back direction refers to the thickness direction of the door leaf.

According to the embodiment of the invention, when the second door body 2 completely wraps or partially wraps the first door body 1, the first door body 1 is also an inner door body, and the second door body 2 is also an outer door body. According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the outer door body can move relative to the inner door body, that is, a movement gap 27 is necessarily reserved between the outer door body and the inner door, please refer to fig. 18. The presence of this movement gap 27 can affect the performance of the door assembly. For example, when the door assembly is applied to a refrigerator, the inside of the refrigerator exchanges heat with the outside through the moving gap 27, which further affects energy consumption and may cause condensation at a position of the door body close to the moving gap 27. In order to ensure the performance of the door assembly, the following modes are proposed in the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to fig. 19 to 23, and the following modes can be combined with each other:

the first mode is as follows: the opening side of the door leaf is provided with a heat insulation air bag 9, and along the direction of the movement of the outer door body relative to the inner door body, the first end of the heat insulation air bag 9 is connected with the inner door body, and the second end is connected with the outer door body. When the door leaf is in a closed state, the outer door body is in a sealing position and the heat insulation air bag 9 is stretched; when the door leaf needs to be switched between the closed state and the open state, the outer door body is in the avoiding position and the heat insulation air bag 9 is compressed.

The movement gap 27 between the outer door body and the inner door body can be filled through the arrangement of the heat insulation air bag 9, and the performance of the door assembly is further ensured. When the door assembly is applied to the refrigerator, the arrangement of the heat insulation air bag 9 can form a protection device for preventing cold air from leaking, so that heat exchange between the inside of the refrigerator and the outside is reduced or even avoided, and condensation is prevented from being generated on the surface of the outer door body of the door leaf. Moreover, the arrangement of the heat insulation air bag 9 does not influence the movement of the outer door body relative to the inner door body.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the heat-insulating air bags 9 is not limited, and may be one or more. When the number of the heat insulation airbags 9 is plural, the heat insulation airbags 9 are arranged at intervals along the thickness direction of the door, and thus, the heat insulation airbags 9 form a multilayer heat insulation protection effect in the direction from the inner side to the outer side of the door, and the performance of the door can be further improved. Further, the dimension of the heat-insulating air bag 9 in the door-height direction generally corresponds to the height of the door. Of course, it is not excluded to provide a plurality of heat-insulating airbags 9 along the height direction of the door leaf to achieve the heat-insulating effect.

The second mode is as follows: a channel 8 extending in the door leaf thickness direction is formed between the opening side of the inner door body and the opening side of the outer door body, and the channel 8 includes a bent section 801. Wherein the width of the channel 8 is reduced when the outer door body moves to the sealing position towards the opening side of the inner door body with respect to the inner door body. When the outer door body is adapted to move to the escape position toward the hinge side of the inner door body relative to the inner door body, the width of the tunnel 8 is increased.

By the provision of the bent section 801, the performance of the door assembly can be improved. For example, when the door assembly is applied to a refrigerator, the bent section 801 may extend the path of cold air leakage, increase the resistance of cold air leakage, and further reduce or even avoid heat exchange between the inside of the refrigerator and the outside, so as to prevent condensation on the surface of the outer door body of the door leaf.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, "curved section 801" is a concept corresponding to "straight section 802". That is, the term "curved section 801" is used herein as long as it is not in the form of a straight section 802 structure. For example, "curved segment 801" includes the structural form of an arc segment, and also includes the structural form of a bend segment formed by connecting a plurality of straight segments 802. Furthermore, the channel 8 of the present embodiment may be designed in a labyrinth structure if the structure is various.

When provided with a curved section 801, the channel 8 may also include a straight section 802 located at least one end of the curved section 801, according to embodiments of the present invention.

In one embodiment, one of the outer door body and the inner door body is formed with a groove 13 and the other is formed with a projection 11, see further fig. 20, and further, the above-mentioned curved section 801 is formed between the projection 11 and the groove 13. Of course, the formation of the curved section 801 does not necessarily take this form. For example, the outer door body and the inner door body may be formed with the protrusions 11, and the two portions of the protrusions 11 cooperate to form the curved section 801. When the outer door body or the inner door body is provided with the protrusion 11, the protrusion 11 may be provided in a hollow structure, and the heat insulation foam 12 is provided inside the hollow protrusion 11. For example, the insulating foam 12 may be polystyrene foam (EPS), insulating polyurethane, or other materials having an insulating effect. Of course, other forms of insulation may be used in the projections 11 to ensure the insulation at the location of the channel 8.

The third mode is as follows: a passage 8 extending in the door leaf thickness direction is formed between the opening side of the inner door body and the opening side of the outer door body, and a heating member 10 is provided at a position corresponding to the passage 8. Likewise, the width of the channel 8 is reduced when the outer door body moves to the sealing position towards the opening side of the inner door body with respect to the inner door body. When the outer door body is adapted to move to the escape position toward the hinge side of the inner door body relative to the inner door body, the width of the tunnel 8 is increased.

By providing the heating element 10, the local temperature of the door leaf can be compensated for, preventing condensation. For example, when the door assembly is applied to a refrigerator, the heating member 10 is disposed at the channel 8, and then when the temperature of the position of the outer door body corresponding to the channel 8 is low due to leakage of cold air, the outer door body is locally heated by the operation of the heating member 10, so as to prevent condensation generated on the outer door body.

The specific form of the heating member 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited, and for example, the heating member 10 may be in various forms of a thin film heating sheet, a heating wire, and a heating pipe. When the heating member 10 is a film heating sheet, it is possible to save space and to ensure heating efficiency.

The heating member 10 may be attached to the inner surface of the passage 8, may be disposed in the passage 8, or may be fixed to the sidewall or the outer surface of the passage 8, as long as the local heating of the corresponding position of the passage 8 can be realized.

The fourth mode is that: wherein, the door subassembly is for opening door subassembly, is provided with door at the side of opening of door leaf and seals subassembly 7 this moment.

By providing the door seal assembly 7 at the opening side of the side-by-side hinged door leaf, the performance of the door assembly can be further improved.

In one case, the suction dock seal 701 and the main dock seal 702 are connected by a resilient expansion member 703, as is the case in fig. 20. By arranging the elastic expansion piece 703 between the opposite side door seal 701 and the main door seal 702, the door seal assembly 7 can be ensured to have extensibility without affecting the normal movement of the outer door body. The specific structure of the elastic expansion member 703 is not limited, for example, the elastic expansion member 703 may have a wave-shaped structure, a semicircular structure, a curved structure, or the like. In one embodiment, resilient telescoping member 703 employs a low cost and readily available spring.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the door seal assembly 7 is installed at a corner position of the split door leaf, and the suction side door seal 701 is disposed near an inner surface of the split door leaf.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the suction side door seal 701 and the main door seal 702 are both provided with the barbs 704, the barbs 704 of the suction side door seal 701 are installed on the outer door body, and the barbs 704 of the main door seal 702 are installed on the inner door body. The barbs 704 can be arranged to enable quick assembly and disassembly of the dock seal assembly 7. Of course, the manner in which the dock seal assembly 7 is mounted is not limited by the examples herein.

In fig. 20 and 23, two different structures of the opposite side dock seal 701 and the main dock seal 702 are shown. It should be noted that the structural forms of the suction-side dock seal 701 and the main dock seal 702 are not limited by the drawings as long as the sealing effect can be achieved.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the four ways of improving the performance of the door assembly can be combined at will. When the four modes are combined on the same door assembly at the same time, the door assembly obtained at the moment can completely prevent the condensation phenomenon on the outer door body when the door assembly is applied to the refrigerator. When the first and second modes are combined, the insulating bladder 9 may be disposed in the curved section 801 or the straight section 802 of the passage 8. When the channel 8 comprises the bent section 801 and the straight line sections 802 at two ends of the bent section 801, the heat insulation air bag 9 can be arranged in the straight line sections 802 at two ends of the bent section 801, so that the functions of the heat insulation air bag 9 and the bent section 801 can be embodied to the maximum extent, and the heat insulation air bag 9 is convenient to install.
