Detailed description of the invention
Below in conjunction with embodiment and accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in detail.
In Fig. 2, the present invention discloses a kind of side by side combination refrigerator refrigeration longitudinal beam, in figure, right door seal gum cover 5 and right door seal magnetic stripe 4 is provided with successively between right door body 6 and vertical beam beam body 1, be provided with successively between left-hand door body 7 and vertical beam beam body 1 left-hand door sealing overlap 8 and left-hand door seal magnetic stripe 9, wherein vertical beam beam body 1 is plastic beam body, and its surface coverage one deck magnetic plastic layer 31, the inner surface of magnetic plastic layer 31 pastes an anti-condensation heater 2, this magnetic plastics 31 can with the adhesive of left and right door seal magnetic stripe 4,9, the device that anti-condensation heater 2 can adopt power smaller.
The present invention arranges multipair magnetic pole according to the width of vertical beam beam body in its magnetic plastic layer 31, and the width according to door seal magnetic stripe respectively arranges magnetic pole that the is multipair and adhesive of vertical beam beam body 1 at left and right door seal magnetic stripe.The magnetic plastic layer 31 on door seal magnetic stripe and vertical beam beam body 1 surface is all set to the many magnetic poles of one side, and such vertical beam beam body 1 is better with the suction-combining force of left and right door seal magnetic stripe 4,9.
Shown in Fig. 3, width according to door seal magnetic stripe respectively arranges two pairs of magnetic poles at left and right door seal magnetic stripe 4,9, according to the width of vertical beam beam body 1, the width of corresponding door seal magnetic stripe, in magnetic plastic layer 31, odd number is set to magnetic pole, the present embodiment is set to 7 pairs of magnetic poles, guarantees that the pole polarity of vertical beam beam body 1 both sides is identical and contrary with the pole polarity of overlapped left and right door seal.Door seal magnetic stripe one side arranges two pairs of magnetic poles, and the suction of such door seal magnetic stripe can be stronger, and easily locate when overlapping with vertical beam beam body 1 surface.If door seal magnetic stripe is an one pole, suction is more weak, and due to the width of door seal magnetic stripe own less, be not suitable for being arranged to one side three poles or three extremely more than, otherwise the width of each pole is too little, not easily locates during assembling, so preferably one side has two pairs of magnetic poles.
In practical set, left-hand door envelope magnetic stripe 9 is installed with in the middle of left-hand door sealing cover 8, right door seal magnetic stripe 4 is installed with in the middle of right door seal gum cover 5, to meet the requirement that door seal and the adhesive of vertical beam beam body 1 faying surface reach sealing, in order to promote the suction-combining force of door seal magnetic stripe, as shown in Figure 3, two pairs of magnetic poles are filled with at left-hand door envelope magnetic stripe 9 and right door seal magnetic stripe 4 surface, i.e. one side the two poles of the earth, for reaching optimum efficiency, as the case may be the magnetic pole of magnetic plastic layer 31 is set to several odd number pair, due to a left side, right door seal magnetic stripe 4, 9 both sides being overlapped on vertical beam beam body 1 respectively, left, right door seal magnetic stripe 4, 9 faying surfaces have two pairs of magnetic poles, and the both sides pole polarity of vertical beam beam body 1 surface magnetic strip is identical, then only need determine that door seal gum cover wears the direction of door seal magnetic stripe according to the pole polarity of vertical beam beam body 1 surface magnetic strip both sides, when door seal gum cover wear door seal magnetic stripe direction consistent time, batch production door seal magnetic stripe out all can with the surperficial automatic pick of vertical beam beam body 1.
By adopting above-mentioned materials and structures, the vertical beam beam body 1 of plastic material is insulator, does surfacing by magnetic plastic layer 31, and its anti-condensation heater 2 and vertical beam beam surface are without the need to ground connection, safe and reliable.
And plastic material than the heat conduction of steel plate and cold-storage ability weak, under equal conditions the vertical beam beam body of plastics is higher than the surface temperature of the vertical beam beam body of steel plate a lot, the heat that anti-condensation needs make up is less, adopts this design can reduce the power of anti-condensation heater 2 or reduce its heating ratio.In addition because plastic material thermal conductivity factor is less, the cold transmitted outward in refrigerator by vertical beam beam body 1 surface is fewer than steel plate, refrigerator high insulating effect.The overall efficiency level of these two aspects to product improves significantly and promotes.
In addition, the magnetic plastic layer 31 on vertical beam beam body 1 surface is filled with multipair magnetic pole, and left and right door seal magnetic stripe 4,9 is one side the two poles of the earth, and one side multipole is stronger than an one pole the suction-combining force, adhesive better effects if.Because vertical beam beam body 1 surface is and opposite polarity left and right door seal magnetic stripe pairing adhesive, and each magnetic pole has certain width, when refrigerator door assembling exists relatively large deviation, door seal can produce with vertical beam beam body 1 and repel, and can carry out a body assembling correction according to this, ensure the uniformity of assembling.Even if there is a bit small deviation, because left and right door seal gum cover 5,8 is soft materials, the magnetic pole on left and right door seal magnetic stripe 4,9 also automatically can adjust and find the tight adhesive of lap position accurately, ensures the uniformity of door seal lap width.
The magnetic pole logarithm that the magnetic plastic layer 31 of vertical beam beam body 1 magnetizes is odd number, then the pole polarity of both sides is identical.Determine that left and right door seal gum cover 5,8 wears the direction of left and right door seal magnetic 4,9 according to the pole polarity of the surperficial both sides of vertical beam beam body 1 like this, when wearing left and right door seal magnetic stripe 4,9 direction and being consistent, door seal finished product is without the need to distinguishing the polarity of door seal magnetic stripe again, only need a kind of door seal of specification can realize the general of door seal, enhance productivity.Wearing door seal magnetic stripe is machinery operation, and door seal and door seal magnetic stripe all cut die-cut 45° angle, and wear door seal magnetic stripe and can ensure that the four edges inner side and outer side of door seal respectively accounts for a constant pole orientation, such as outside is S pole, and inner side is N pole.As long as the magnetizing direction of door seal magnetic stripe is consistent, our instructions for use just can be ensured.
The invention also discloses a kind of side by side combination refrigerator being provided with above-mentioned refrigeration longitudinal beam.
Above embodiment only for illustration of technical scheme of the present invention, is not intended to limit; Although with reference to preferred embodiment to invention has been detailed description; those of ordinary skill in the field are to be understood that; still can modify to the specific embodiment of the present invention or equivalent replacement is carried out to portion of techniques feature; and not departing from the spirit of technical solution of the present invention, it all should be encompassed in the middle of the technical scheme scope of request of the present invention protection.
