Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigerator comprising a shell and a door that closes said shell. The door can be actuated automatically.

Description

Refrigerating plant

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of refrigerating plant, this device has housing and is used for the door of closed this housing.

Background technology

Refrigerating plant has the univalve door by the hinge attaching usually.Here, described hinge all is connected on the sidewall.Generally be door to be opened, be furnished with handle in the outside of door for this reason with hand.For can be with door safety and closely closed, usually the fringe region at door be provided with auxiliary magnetic stripe, and this guarantees the tight contact of housing seal place of described refrigerating plant under closure state.

Summary of the invention

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of novel door-opening mechanism that is used for refrigerating plant.

Purpose of the present invention reaches by the feature in conjunction with claim 1.Here, described invention basic thought is that the door of this refrigerating plant no longer is to use hand-drive, but drives automatically.

Also draw a plurality of at the described preferred embodiment of the appended claims that are subordinated to independent claims by this invention thought.

The driving mechanism that is used for door is opened automatically can correspondingly adopt driven by power, perhaps also can adopt pneumatic actuation.

The trigger mechanism that is used to open and close door can comprise the contactless sensor.Here, this contactless sensor for example can be light curtain system or capacitor trigger.

Advantageously, the element of described automatic driving mechanism and this door become one.But except when power supply architecture is relatively large, described power supply must be placed in the described housing in this case.

Advantageously, described door comprises a plurality of supported movably door members.

In this respect, according to an advantageous embodiments, this door can comprise two door members, and described two members can laterally outwards move to outside the frame of described housing separately in the opposite direction, so that door is opened.

According to another aspect of the present invention, two members that provided can a member be laminated to another member ground mutually door are opened.Therefore in all cases, described refrigerating plant one semi-closed, and second half of this refrigerating plant can enter.

At last, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, this Men Yousi door member formed, and wherein closes on two corresponding door members of described housing and fixes, and each intermediate door member can be pulled to the folded mutually position of described fixing door member door is opened.

According to another embodiment of the invention, this door is done as a whole, and perhaps single door member at least mainly is made up of glass.

At last, advantageously described driving controlling organization is provided with finger extruding protection or collision protection.

According to an advantageous embodiments especially of the present invention, the door that has each member can be done as a whole supported pivotly around hinge.Therefore, this means that each member in the described door is openable sliding component, for example door is opened chilled goods is removed by the mode of contactless sensor control.At present, in order to fill up whole refrigerating plant, it may be favourable that door is done as a whole opening, wherein said be supported with each movably the door integral door of member in it can pivotally open around the side hinge.Therefore storing chilled goods with a kind of simple mode may accomplish.According to the present invention, can automatically carry out though open door pivotally, the also available manual mode that is of little use is opened door.

Description of drawings

Below illustrated embodiment is elaborated to further feature of the present invention, details and advantage in conjunction with the drawings.Wherein:

Fig. 1 be according to the front view of housing of the present invention and

Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 be respectively according to door of the present invention along Fig. 1 center line A-A three different embodiment partial cross sectional views.

The specific embodiment

Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of the housing 10 of refrigerating plant, and the structure of this housing is identical substantially with traditional structure.This housing carries out closure by door, and Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and different embodiment shown in Figure 4 see in this mechanism, and Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 are respectively the cross-sectional view along Fig. 1 center line A-A.Here, the top of figure shows the door 12 that has a member respectively among each Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, and the top of corresponding figures shows the described door member that is in the close position, and the lower part of each figure then shows the door member when being shown in an open position.

Among all embodiment shown in the figure, described door is sliding door.

Door as shown in Figure 2 12 comprises two door members 14, and described each member 14 is made up of glass.As can be seen from Figure 2, when housing was in closure state, described door member covered half of described housing 10 respectively symmetrically.Door member 14 can be by driving mechanism (more details is not shown here) by means of laterally moving at this only symbolic track 16 that indicates.In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, door member 14 described here moves laterally to outside the sidewall of described housing 10, makes opening door at 12 o'clock, can expose the entire inner space of this housing, thereby be used to remove article.

The trigger mechanism that is used to open and close door is made of the contactless sensor in the mode that any details is not shown at this, and described contactless sensor can comprise for example light curtain system or capacitor trigger.This trigger mechanism can be integrated in the surface of described housing, makes that this door can open or close automatically when user's palmistry should be near door.

Fig. 3 shows another embodiment of door 12.Here, described door 12 is made up of two halves glass 14, can draw according to the expression among Fig. 3, can right-hand side or leftward side wherein half glass shift the mode of folding onto and open this refrigerating plant with second half glassy phase.Under these circumstances, only can expose half housing respectively.

What represent according to Fig. 4 at last, is another embodiment of the present invention.Door described here 12 is made up of four door members, and two 1/4th glass doors 16 of centre can be shifted the back of outer 1/4th glass 16 of two stationary fixing by driving mechanism onto, are used to remove article.

At this more details of described driven by power or pneumatic actuation controlling organization are not shown, described structure has finger extruding protection and crash protection.

As Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and shown in Figure 4, this 12 can do as a wholely to pivot around hinge in a kind of mode that any details is not shown here.Under the situation shown here, described door also can manually impel its pivot.Therefore, can the described refrigerating plant of whole filling after opening this door 12 pivotally.For removing described chilled goods, for example tinned drink or bottled drink, available previous described mode is only opened a corresponding door member.
