Description

The door insert that is used for refrigerator

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of insert that is used for the door of refrigerator, particularly domestic refrigerator.Multiple insert for example door compartment, butter compartment or the analog overwhelming majority is installed in this inside usually.Not only for built-in device but also for free-standing utensil with visible exterior; The device appearance that these inserts are perceiveed the user has tangible influence; In said built-in device, the inner surface of storage compartment only is the apparatus surface that the user awares usually in opening procedure.

Background technology

If manufacturer makes the refrigerator of different series, the fact is economically advantageously used standard element common concerning this series as much as possible; It is low so that manufacturing cost is remained; Yet on the other hand, different series or model also should be given can be by the individual mark of User Recognition.In order to realize this purpose, suitable is to change an insert with the mode manufacturing installation housing of basic standard with model or the specific mode of series.If insert is injection moulding integratedly basically, then in fact has the big technical construction free degree; Yet because each single insert needs elaborate injecting molding die, so this method is relatively expensive.

When seeking more economical solution, also considered modular method, thereby member, for example base plate and the sidewall of door insert are made individually, and are combined to form complete insert.This makes it possible to through the base plate combination of identical sidewall and different length being made the door insert with different size.In order to apply individual mark for different refrigerator models, the identical base plate combination that the distinctive sidewall of device and a plurality of models are total gets final product.

Although this method has been made insert than integratedly more economical; But limited possible saving due to the fact that: sidewall has more complicated shape than the member of the door insert that between them, extends usually; Thereby each required model of their manufacturing is still very expensive.

Summary of the invention

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of door insert that is used for refrigerator, the outward appearance of this insert can change basically seldom arduously.

Under the situation of the door insert that is used for refrigerator with base plate and the hollow side wall that is connected by base plate, above-mentioned purpose realizes through the filling body, and that said filling body inserts is transparent, particularly as the glass in the cavity of at least one in the bright sidewall.Through using the different modification of filling body, can give identical sidewall visibly different outward appearance, thereby make the door insert under them also have visibly different outward appearance.The comparable sidewall of filling body has obviously simpler form, and the filling body is contained in the cavity of said sidewall, and the manufacturing of the different modification of feasible filling body is obviously more more economical than the manufacturing of the different modification of sidewall.And; Through using the filling body, having through making up sidewall and base plate at least provides the possibility of distinct door insert, and this insert includes the standard matrix of the common single type of multiple model; Thereby, because large batch of production but economic.

If the filling body is clamped in the cavity with the gap of minimum or is assembled in the cavity and clamping that the distortion that makes in normal operating process load by the door insert produce causes loading body, then load body also the opposite house insert have the stabilization of reinforcement.Compare with an insert that does not have the filling body, this provides with the lower strength of materials and has made an insert realize the possibility of the bearing capacity of expectation, thereby the cost of filling body part is at least compensated by this material savings.

Cavity is can known mode itself uncovered in the bottom.

Uncovered cavity drops from the bottom in order to prevent to load body, if the filling body is not held or clamping action can lose owing to the temporary transient distortion of door insert, then loads body and advantageously snaps on the sidewall.

Itself be well known that on the outer wall of hollow side wall, be provided for the reception groove of support rim, said support rim is supported on insert on the refrigerator doors.Under the load effect, near the distortion of the sidewall reception groove can damage the reliable assembling of an insert.For the stable groove that receives, the filling body is preferred to be formed like this, make it by touch groove and with the inwall of groove relative positioning on surface each other.

The door insert can particularly be implemented as door compartment, and said door compartment has the antetheca that connects sidewall.

This antetheca preferably is integral with sidewall, and to be similar to these sidewalls be transparent and/or glass as bright, make to be contained in article that are cooled in the door compartment also to see through antetheca visible.

The profile member that is attached to the top edge of antetheca can be used for purpose of design individually, also can be used for strengthening antetheca.

About design aspect, advantageously, the filling body has lower limb, and the lower edge of said lower limb and profile member is in identical height place, thereby it similarly is the continuity of loading body that profile member is being told me for the observer.

Alternatively, the door insert also can be implemented as the butter compartment, and it particularly has the pivotable turnover panel that is arranged between the sidewall.

The specific embodiment

Door compartment shown in Fig. 1 is made up of matrix 1, profile member 2 and filling body 3, and they are respectively by the injection moulding integratedly of plastics bright as the glass, for example polystyrene or polymethyl methacrylate.

Matrix 1 has the form of rectangular box basically, its open top, and have: antetheca 4, if door compartment is installed on the refrigerator doors with known mode own, said antetheca is door dorsad; Rear wall 5 towards refrigerator doors; The base plate of hiding among the figure; And two sidewalls 6, wall 4,5 and base plate extend between said two sidewalls 6.Sidewall 6 is a hollow, and the bottom is uncovered, and this more is clearly shown that by means of the view among Fig. 2, and filling body 3 is arranged to insert the cavity of sidewall 6 from the below with the mode of narrow tolerance.Filling body 3 is a dihedral at this; Have upright arm 7 and the forward outstanding horizontal arm 8 approaching with rear wall; The height of upright arm 7 is accurately corresponding with the height of the cavity of sidewall 6; The lower limb 9 of said horizontal arm 8 extends at the height place of stage portion 10, and said stage portion 10 covers the outside of sidewall 5 and antetheca 4.

Although for sidewall 6, be positioned at a little outwards outstanding lower curtate 12 that surpasses of upper curtate 11 of stage portion 10 tops, for antetheca 4, the upper curtate 13 that is positioned at stage portion 10 tops caves in respect to lower curtate 14 a little.

Profile member 2 is formed from the top and pushes away on the upper curtate 13 that installs to antetheca 4, and is locked in by this way on the rib, and said rib is inwardly outstanding from the top edge of section 13.At lock-out state; The outside plate 15 of profile member 2 accurately loads upper curtate 13; And the Free Surface of outside plate 15 is concordant with the section 11 of the vicinity of sidewall 6; Make profile member 2 for the observer, appear to the continuity of the horizontal arm 8 of filling body 3, said filling body 3 is visible in transparent sidewall 6.

Fig. 2 more specifically shows sidewall 6 and the structure that is contained in the filling body 3 in the sidewall 6.Sidewall 6 has inwall 16 respectively, and said inwall 16 is combined into one at its edge and wall 4,5 and base plate 17.The outer wall 18 of sidewall 6 only is connected with antetheca 4 with inwall 16 through its leading edge and is connected with horizontal cover plate 19 through its top edge.The lower limb of outer wall 18 is not connected with back edge.The back edge of outer wall 18 is strengthened through the rib 20 to bending.The reception groove 21 that is used for the support rim of refrigerator doors is adjacent to rib 20 and is molded in outer wall 18.

Fig. 3 shows along the vertical plane that passes through reception groove 21 through sidewall 6 and the cross section that is installed in the filling body 3 on the sidewall.Lock opening 23 is formed in the wall 22 that receives groove, and the protuberance 24 of filling body 3 is bonded in the said lock opening 23.Wall 22 bends in the top, and is directly connected to inwall 16, rather than is connected to cover plate 19, with reinforced sidewall 6.Filling body 3 accurately loads the wall 22 of sidewall 6 and the cavity between the inwall 16, thereby helps the rigidity and the bearing capacity of sidewall 6 equally.

Once more referring to Fig. 2, obvious is, groove 25 is positioned on the outside of upright arm 7, and said groove 25 receives the rib 20 of outer wall 18 with the mode of form fit.

Be similar to matrix 1, filling body 3 also is the structure of injection molding hollow.The wall 28 of preceding closure that forms upright arm 7 on the whole height of filling body 3 and width two bottoms uncovered cavity 26, extend between 27, thereby the

wall

16,18 of supporting side walls 6 relative to each other also.

The cavity 29 of sidewall 6 opens towards the bottom owing to manufacturing technology with the

cavity

26,27 of filling body 3, and this particularly can find out from Fig. 4.

Fig. 5 has illustrated the situation that lower limb 9 that profile member 2 snaps to situation and horizontal arm 8 from the inwardly outstanding lug 31 of the top edge of antetheca 4 aligns with the lower limb and/or the stage portion 10 of mounted profile member 2 through cross-sectional view.

Through inserting the notion of the present invention of outward appearance that filling structural reform in the hollow transparent sidewall becomes the door insert also applicable to the butter compartment; As shown in Figure 6; Fig. 6 shows this butter compartment with the turnover panel 30 that partially opens, and said turnover panel is suspended between the sidewall 6 pivotly.At this, the antetheca 4 that turnover panel 30 is similar to the door compartment among Fig. 1 has stage portion 10, and is wherein the same with sidewall, and thereunder give prominence to the top, zone in the zone that is positioned at stage portion 30 tops.Identical among filling body 3 and Fig. 1 makes that when turnover panel 30 is closed the lower limb 9 that loads the upright arm 7 of body is arranged on the height place of stage portion 10.Alternatively, also can consider to adopt the filling body of roughly flat squared design, shown in the dotted outline among Fig. 6, the whole height and the width of this filling body filling sidewall 6.
