Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
according to the present disclosure, a refrigerator apparatus having a foreign matter blocking function includes: a shielding member detachably connected to an upper end frame of a door compartment of the refrigerating compartment; and a connection member connected with the shielding member and disposed on a surface of the upper end frame of the door compartment of the refrigerating compartment.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the shielding member 30 is connected to the surface 28 of the upper end frame of the door compartment of the refrigerating chamber door 24 of the refrigerator apparatus. The surface 28 may be a top surface of an upper end frame of a door compartment formed to protrude inward by a predetermined thickness from an inner side surface of the refrigerating compartment door 24. The connecting member is disposed on the surface 28 such that the shielding member 30 can be attached to the surface 28. Although the connection member 50 is illustrated in a circular shape in fig. 2 and 3, the form of the connection member 50 is not limited to this shape, but may have any suitable shape. The coupling member may be implemented in various forms such as the magnet member 150, the hole 250, the protrusion member 350, or the cavity 450, which will be described later.
corners and edges of each of the shielding members 30, 130, and 230 according to various embodiments may be rounded to provide a more pleasant appearance and also ensure safety. The material of the shielding members 30, 130, and 230 according to various embodiments is not particularly limited, but may be any suitable material. The shielding members 30, 130, and 230 according to various embodiments of the present invention may be made of plastic or the like, thereby facilitating use, i.e., cleaning, transportation, and disassembly.
Each of the shielding members 30, 130 and 230 has a first portion 320, the first portion 320 being connected to the top surface 28 of the upper end frame of the door compartment of the refrigerator compartment. The first portion 320 has the same shape as the top surface 28 of the upper end frame of the door compartment so as to fit well with the top surface 28 of the upper end frame of the door compartment.
further, as shown in fig. 4A to 5B, each of the shielding members 30, 130, and 230 according to various embodiments has a trench portion. For example, the trench portion may be any suitable shape, e.g., U-shaped, V-shaped, arcuate, etc.
as shown in fig. 4A and 4B, according to one embodiment of the present invention, trench portion 1340 is defined by two inclined portions (i.e., a first inclined portion 1360 and a second inclined portion 1380) having different inclination directions and inclination angles. The first inclined portion 1360 extends obliquely downward from an edge of the first portion 320 at a predetermined inclination angle, and the second inclined portion 1380 extends obliquely upward from the edge of the first inclined portion 1360 at a predetermined inclination angle. That is, each of the shielding members 30, 130, and 230 may have a substantially V-shaped cross section.
in this case, any foreign matter may be accumulated at the boundary between the first inclined portion 1360 and the second inclined portion 1380, and thus the foreign matter may be easily removed and carried away, thereby facilitating cleaning. For example, the first and second inclined portions 1360 and 1380 may be formed symmetrically with respect to a vertical direction. That is, the width of the first inclined portion 1360 and the width of the second inclined portion 1380 may be equal. In another embodiment, the width of the first inclined portion 1360 and the width of the second inclined portion 1380 may be different. That is, the first inclined portion 1360 and the second inclined portion 1380 may be formed asymmetrically with respect to the vertical direction. In both cases, it is preferable that each of the first and second inclined portions 1360 and 1380 is inclined at an angle within a range of ± 1 ° to ± 15 ° with respect to the horizontal direction so as not to interfere with a door compartment of the refrigerating compartment, which will be installed under the shielding member.
As shown in fig. 5A and 5B, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the trench portion 2340 is defined by a first curved portion 2360 extending downward in a curved manner and a second curved portion 2380 extending upward in a curved manner from an edge of the first curved portion 2360. In this case, the trench portion 2340 assumes a concavely curved shape or a substantially circular arc shape. Such a shape allows any foreign matter (e.g., houseflies or fruit flies, etc.) to easily accumulate in the trench portion, thereby facilitating the carry-away of the accumulated foreign matter and the cleaning of the shielding member. The first curved portion 2360 and the second curved portion 2380 may have the same width. Alternatively, either one of the first curved portion 2360 and the second curved portion 2380 may have a shorter width than the other.
each of the shielding members 30, 130, and 230 may include a through hole 36 for connection with the connection member 50, as shown in fig. 6. More specifically, the through-hole 36 is formed in the first portion 320 of the shield member. Although there is no limitation in the number of through-holes formed in the first portion 320, at least two through-holes are preferably included in order to firmly fix each of the shielding members 30, 130, and 230. The connection of the shielding member to the connection member 50 will be described later.
according to another embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, each of the shield members 30, 130 and 230 includes a mounting portion 38, the mounting portion 38 protruding from an edge of a main body portion of the shield member so as to be easily connected with the connection member 50. More specifically, the mounting portion 38 protrudes in the width direction from one edge of the first portion 320 of the shield member. Each mounting portion 38 has a ring shape with a hole formed in the center thereof. Although the number of the mounting portions 38 is not particularly limited, it is preferable that at least two mounting portions 38 are formed in order to firmly fix the shielding member.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8A and 8B, each of the shielding members 30, 130, and 230 has a press-fitting portion (40) at a lower surface thereof. Each press-fit portion 40 includes a fixing portion 42 and a constricted portion 44 for adjusting the thickness of the press-fit portion 40. Although the number of press-fit portions is not particularly limited, it is preferable that at least two press-fit portions are formed to firmly fix the shield member.
hereinafter, various embodiments of the connection member 50 formed on the top surface 28 and various embodiments of a method of connecting the shielding member 30, 130 or 230 to the connection member will be explained below.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 9, the connection member may be a magnet member 150, and may be provided on the top surface 28 of the upper end frame of the door compartment of the refrigerating compartment. Each of the shielding members 30, 130, and 230 is provided with a magnet member 46, and the magnet member 46 is provided on one surface of the shielding member or may be embedded in the first portion 320 of the shielding member. The magnet members 46 embedded in the first portion 320 are aligned with the magnet members 150 so as to be connected to each other by magnetic attraction. In this case, the shielding member may be firmly attached to the connecting member on the upper end frame of the door compartment and may be easily removed from the connecting member on the upper end frame of the door compartment, and no connecting mark is left after the shielding member is removed from the upper end frame of the door compartment.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 10, the connection members may be circular holes 250, and the holes 250 are formed in the top surface 28 of the upper end frame of the door compartment of the refrigerating compartment to a predetermined depth. The inner peripheral surface of the hole 250 is a threaded surface. The hole 250 is formed in alignment with the through hole 36 formed in the shield member 30, 130, or 230. In one embodiment, the shielding member 30, 130 or 230 is fastened to the upper end frame of the door compartment by a fastening member 60 having a threaded outer circumferential surface.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 11, the connection member may be a protrusion element 350, the protrusion element 350 protruding from the top surface 28 of the upper end frame of the door compartment of the refrigerating compartment. The protruding element 350 is shown in the enlarged side view of fig. 11. Each protruding element 350 comprises: a first portion 360 protruding from the top surface 28 of the upper end frame of the door compartment and having a first diameter; a second portion 370 protruding from the first portion 360 and having a second diameter greater than the first diameter; and a cutout portion 380 passing through the center of at least a portion of each of the first portion 360 and the second portion 370.
the protrusion element 350 is engaged with the through-hole 36 formed in the shield member 30, 130, or 230. According to another embodiment, the protruding element 350 may engage with a corresponding mounting portion 38 of the shielding member 30, 130 or 230. The diameter of the through bore 36 or the inner diameter of the mounting portion 38 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second portion 370. Thus, when the through-hole 36 or mounting portion 38 is engaged with the projecting element 350, the second portion 370 is first press-fit into the through-hole 36 or mounting portion 38, then advanced to pass through the through-hole 36 or mounting portion 38, and then the first portion 360 is engaged with the through-hole 36 or mounting portion 38. Due to this structure of the protruding element 350, detachment and attachment of the shielding member from and to the door compartment are facilitated, and the attached shielding member is not easily accidentally removed from the door compartment.
Further, as shown in fig. 12A, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the connection member may be a cavity 450, and the cavity 450 is recessed from the top surface 28 of the upper end frame of the door compartment by a certain depth. As shown in fig. 12B, when the press-fit portion 40 enters the upper chamber 460 (the upper chamber 460 is an upper portion of the chamber 450), the press-fit portion 40 contracts, and when the press-fit portion 40 reaches the lower chamber 470 (the lower chamber 470 is a lower portion of the chamber 450 and has a larger cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of the upper chamber 460), the press-fit portion 40 expands so that the press-fit portion 40 can be locked in the chamber 450.
Referring to fig. 13, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the extension 48 extends vertically downward from the corresponding end of the shielding member 30, 130 or 230. The extension 48 ensures attachment of the shielding member 30, 130 or 230 to the upper end frame of the door compartment of the refrigerator compartment. The extension 48 is made of plastic, and a magnetic member may be embedded in the extension 48 to enhance a force for supporting the shielding member at a side surface of the door compartment of the refrigerating compartment.
Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
