Detailed Description
The refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the description of the present invention, it is to be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on those shown in the drawings, and are only for convenience of description and simplicity of description, and do not indicate or imply that the referenced devices or elements must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and thus, are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
The terms "first", "second" and "first" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a refrigerator, including a refrigerator body 1 having a storage chamber formed therein and a door body 2 disposed at an opening of the storage chamber, wherein the door body 2 is rotatably connected to the refrigerator body 1 through a hinge shaft 4, specifically, a hinge plate 3 is mounted on the refrigerator body 1, and the hinge plate 3 is rotatably connected to the door body 2 through the hinge shaft 4. In order to realize the automatic opening and closing of the door body 2, the refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the invention further comprises a door opening and closing device, and referring to fig. 6, fig. 7 and fig. 8, the door opening and closing device comprises: the door body 2 is driven by the same driving mechanism 5, wherein the driving mechanism 5 is used for driving the ejection mechanism to move so as to eject the door body 2, and is used for driving the rotating mechanism to move so as to drive the door body 2 to rotate around the hinge shaft 4, and the delay mechanism is used for enabling the movement of the driving mechanism 5 for driving the rotating mechanism to lag behind the movement of the driving mechanism 5 for driving the ejection mechanism.
That is, when the driving mechanism 5 drives the ejection mechanism to move, the driving mechanism does not drive the rotation mechanism to move at the same time, but lags behind the movement of the ejection mechanism.
The door 2 of the refrigerator needs to go through two stages in the opening process: firstly, the larger suction force of the door seal between the door body 2 and the box body 1 is destroyed to jack the door body 2 open (the ejection mechanism executes), then the door body 2 rotates around the hinge shaft 4 (the rotation mechanism executes), and finally the door body 2 is opened. In the process of destroying the suction force of the door seal between the door body 2 and the box body 1, the driving mechanism needs to output larger torque to push the door body open, but once the suction force of the door seal is destroyed, the required torque is smaller when the door body 2 rotates around the hinged shaft 4. If the ejection mechanism also drives the rotating mechanism to move in the process of damaging the suction force of the door seal, a large torque is generated on the rotating mechanism, so that certain damage can be caused on the rotating mechanism, and the service life of the rotating mechanism is further reduced.
Referring to fig. 6, the drive mechanism 5 includes a drive motor 501 and a drive pulley 504 connected to an output shaft of the drive motor 501; referring to fig. 7 and 3, the ejection mechanism includes: the push rod 7 is characterized in that the push rod 6 is arranged on the mounting seat 6 in a sliding mode, the sliding direction of the push rod 7 is parallel to the thickness direction L2 of the door body 2, and the push rod 7 is provided with transmission teeth which are arranged along the extending direction of the push rod 7 and meshed with the driving wheel 504; referring to fig. 7 and 8, the rotation mechanism includes: a driven wheel 8, the driven wheel 8 is meshed with the driving wheel 504, and the hinged shaft 4 is provided with meshing teeth 401 which are arranged along the circumferential direction of the hinged shaft and are meshed with the driven wheel 8 (in addition, a driving wheel meshed with the driven wheel 8 can also be fixed on the hinged shaft); the time delay mechanism is used for delaying the rotation of the driving wheel 504 driving the driven wheel 8 from the movement of the driving wheel 504 driving the push rod 7. That is to say, in the process that the driving wheel 504 drives the push rod 7 to move so as to destroy the door seal suction force to push the door body 2 open, the driving wheel 504 cannot generate large torque to the driven wheel 8 through the time delay mechanism, and further cannot generate large torque to the engaging teeth 401, when the push rod 7 pushes the door body 2 open to a certain angle, the driving wheel 504 can drive the driven wheel 8 to rotate so as to drive the door body 2 to continue to rotate around the hinge shaft 4, and thus the engaging teeth 401 can be protected.
Referring to fig. 8 and 9, the delay mechanism comprises a delay gear 9, the rotation axis of the driven wheel 8 is collinear with the rotation axis of the delay gear 9, the driven wheel 8 is connected with the delay gear 9 through a second connecting shaft 11, the delay gear 9 is meshed with the driving wheel 504, and the driven wheel 8 is in clearance fit with the second connecting shaft 11.
Referring to fig. 10, a first projection 902 is formed on a surface of the delay gear 9 facing the driven wheel 8, the first projection 902 has a first contact surface P1 and a second contact surface R1 facing each other, a second projection 801 is formed on a surface of the driven wheel 8 facing the delay gear 9, and the second projection 801 has a third contact surface P2 and a fourth contact surface R2 facing each other; under the condition that the driving wheel 504 drives the ejection mechanism to move and drives the delay gear 9 to move along the first direction, the first lug 902 moves towards the stationary second lug 801 along the first direction, and under the condition that the first abutting surface P1 abuts against the third abutting surface P2, the driving wheel 504 drives the delay gear 9 and the driven wheel 8 to synchronously rotate along the first direction; under the condition that the driving wheel 504 drives the ejection mechanism to move and drives the delay gear 9 to move along the second direction, the first protrusion 901 moves towards the stationary second protrusion 801 along the second direction, and under the condition that the second abutting surface R1 abuts against the fourth abutting surface R2, the driving wheel 504 drives the delay gear 9 and the driven wheel 8 to synchronously rotate along the second direction, wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction.
The operation of the delay mechanism will be explained below with reference to fig. 11 to 15.
Referring to fig. 11, when the delay gear 9 and the driven wheel 8 are at the initial position, the first contact surface P1 and the third contact surface R1 are not in contact, and the second contact surface P2 and the fourth contact surface R2 are not in contact. Referring to fig. 11 to 12, the delay gear 9 is driven by the driving wheel 504 to rotate counterclockwise, and the driven wheel 8 is not driven to rotate synchronously in the process of rotating the delay gear 9 due to the clearance fit between the driven wheel 8 and the second connecting shaft 11, and referring to fig. 12, when the delay gear 9 rotates until the first abutting surface P1 contacts with the third abutting surface R1, the rotating delay gear 9 drives the driven wheel 8 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously (fig. 12 to 13), and the driven wheel 8 generates torque on the meshing teeth 401.
In fig. 13 to 14, the delay gear 9 is driven by the driving wheel 504 to rotate clockwise, the first abutting surface P1 and the third abutting surface R1 which are in contact with each other are separated, and the driven wheel 8 cannot rotate synchronously with the delay gear 9, in fig. 14 to 15, when the delay gear 9 rotates until the second abutting surface P2 is in contact with the fourth abutting surface R2, the rotating delay gear 9 drives the driven wheel 8 to rotate synchronously clockwise.
In order to further improve the compactness of the connection between the delay gear 9 and the driven wheel 8, referring to fig. 10, a groove 901 is formed on the surface of the delay gear 9 opposite to the driven wheel 8, the first projection 902 is located in the groove 901, and the second projection 801 is located in the groove 901 after the driven wheel 8 is buckled with the delay gear 9. In this way, the opposite surfaces of the driven wheel 8 and the delay gear 9 are tightly attached, so that the structure is more compact and the occupied space is smaller.
The delay mechanism that this embodiment provided simple structure, job stabilization can make rotary mechanism's rotation lag behind ejection mechanism's motion, and then plays the guard action to rotary mechanism.
In order to improve the appearance beauty of the refrigerator, referring to fig. 2 and 3, and fig. 4 and 5, an extension part exceeding the top of the refrigerator body 1 is formed at the top of the door body 2, a mounting cavity 201 is formed in the extension part, and the door opening and closing device is arranged in the mounting cavity 201. In the field, the hinge plate 3 is generally installed on the top of the refrigerator body 1, in order to prevent the hinge plate 3 from being obviously viewed when the refrigerator is viewed from the front side of the refrigerator, the top of the door body 2 is higher than the top of the refrigerator body 1, so that an extending part for shielding the hinge plate 3 is formed above a door seal of the door body 2, and the hinge plate 3 is shielded by the extending part, thereby improving the appearance attractiveness of the refrigerator. In an example, the top of the door body 2 is about 25mm higher than the top of the box body 1.
According to the door opening and closing device provided by the embodiment of the invention, the extension part of the existing door body 2, which is higher than the top of the refrigerator body 1, is fully utilized, and the door opening and closing device is arranged in the installation cavity 201 formed in the extension part, so that the arrangement position of the door opening and closing device is more hidden, and the extension part is positioned above the door seal of the door body, therefore, the refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the invention has the advantages that the sealing effect between the door body 2 and the refrigerator body 1 is ensured, and the door opening and closing device is exposed to the outside on the premise that the refrigerator has an automatic door opening and closing function, and the appearance attractiveness of the refrigerator is.
When the door opening and closing device is arranged in the installation cavity 201, referring to fig. 3 and 6, the output shaft of the driving motor 501 is parallel to the width direction L1 of the door body 2, and the axis of the driving wheel 504 is parallel to the height direction L3 of the door body 2; that is, the driving motor 501 is horizontally disposed in the installation cavity 201, so that a large space in the width direction of the door body 2 is also fully utilized. Since the output shaft of the driving motor 501 is parallel to the width direction L1 of the door body 2, and the axis of the driving wheel 504 is parallel to the height direction L3 of the door body 2, a steering mechanism is further needed in the door opening and closing device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, that is, the driving wheel 504 is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 501 through the steering mechanism, and the steering mechanism is used for converting the rotation of the output shaft of the driving motor 501 around the width direction L1 of the door body 2 into the rotation of the driving wheel 504 around the height direction L3 of the door body 2.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 8, 16 and 17, the steering mechanism comprises: a first bevel gear 505 and a second bevel gear 506, wherein the first bevel gear 505 is mounted on the output shaft of the driving motor 501, the second bevel gear 506 is engaged with the first bevel gear 505, the driving wheel 504 is connected with the second bevel gear 506 through a second connecting shaft 507, and the axis of the second bevel gear 506 is perpendicular to the axis of the first bevel gear 505. Specifically, the axis of the first bevel gear 505 is parallel to the output shaft of the driving motor 501, the axis of the second bevel gear 506 is perpendicular to the axis of the first bevel gear 505, and the axis of the driver 504 is parallel to the axis of the second bevel gear 506. The steering mechanism has the following steering principle: when the output shaft of the driving motor 501 drives the first bevel gear 505 to rotate, the first bevel gear 505 drives the second bevel gear 506 to rotate, and since the axis of the second bevel gear 506 is perpendicular to the axis of the first bevel gear 505, the horizontal rotation of the first bevel gear 505 is converted into the vertical rotation of the second bevel gear 506 and the driving wheel 504.
Since the second bevel gear 506 needs to drive the driving wheel 504 to rotate synchronously through the second connecting shaft 507, for example, the cross section of the second connecting shaft 507 for connecting the second bevel gear 506 and the driving wheel 504 may be a D-shaped structure, and referring to fig. 16, the cross section of the hole 5041 for installing the second connecting shaft 507 of the corresponding driving wheel 504 is also a D-shaped structure; as another example, the cross section of the second connecting shaft 507 for connecting the second bevel gear 506 and the driver 504 may be a kidney-shaped structure, and the cross section of the hole 5041 of the corresponding driver 504 for installing the second connecting shaft 507 is also a kidney-shaped structure. Certainly, the cross section of second connecting axle 507 can also adopt other different nature structures, compares the second connecting axle that the cross section is circular structure, adopts the second connecting axle 507 that the cross section is D shape structure or waist shape structure can prevent effectively that second bevel gear 506 from driving action wheel 504 when rotating, takes place the phenomenon of skidding between the two to effectively ensure both synchronous rotations, and then guarantee whole switch door gear's job stabilization nature.
Because the push rod 7 is also arranged in the installation cavity 201, in order to facilitate the push rod 7 to apply thrust to the box body 1, referring to fig. 3, a yielding hole 202 for the push rod 7 to extend out is formed on the side wall of the door body 2 close to the box body 1. When the door body 2 needs to be opened, the push rod 7 extends out of the avoiding hole 202, and when the door body 2 is closed, the push rod 7 contracts into the mounting cavity 201 along the avoiding hole 202, so that the attractive appearance of the whole refrigerator is guaranteed.
In order to make the whole door opening and closing device more compact, referring to fig. 8, the mounting seat 6 includes a first mounting portion 601 and a second mounting portion 602 which are vertically arranged, the driving mechanism can be fixed on the first mounting portion 601, and the push rod 7 is slidably mounted on the second mounting portion 602. Therefore, the installation position is provided for the driving mechanism and the ejection mechanism through the installation seat 6, so that the structure of the whole door opening and closing device is centralized as much as possible, and the occupied space is reduced.
For example, referring to fig. 7, the second mounting portion 602 of the mounting seat 6 is provided with a guide rib, the corresponding push rod 7 is provided with a guide groove, and the sliding of the push rod 7 is realized by the cooperation of the guide groove and the guide rib. Of course, the push rod 7 can be slidably mounted on the mounting seat 6 by using other sliding structures, preferably the sliding structure shown in fig. 7, because the guiding rib and the guiding groove have simple structures and the manufacturing process is also simple.
In order to prevent the push rod 7 from sliding out of the mounting seat 6 in the sliding process, the door opening and closing device provided by the embodiment of the invention further comprises a limiting structure, and the limiting structure is used for preventing the push rod 7 from sliding out of the mounting seat 6. For example, referring to fig. 18 and 19, the limiting structure includes a first limiting structure 12 and a second limiting structure 13 disposed on the push rod 7, the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 are disposed along the extending direction of the push rod 7, and referring to fig. 19, in a case that the driving wheel 504 drives the push rod 7, the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 to move towards a direction L22 close to the box 1, the first limiting structure 12 may abut against a side of the mounting seat 6 close to the box 1, so as to prevent an end of the push rod 7 far from the box 1 from sliding out of the side of the mounting seat 6 close to the box 1; referring to fig. 18, in a case that the driving wheel 504 drives the push rod 7, the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 to move towards the direction L21 away from the box body 1, the second limiting structure 13 may abut against one side of the mounting seat 6 away from the box body 1 to prevent the end of the push rod 7 away from the box body 1 from sliding out of the side of the mounting seat 6 away from the box body 1.
Specifically, referring to fig. 18, when the push rod 7 is retracted on the mounting seat 6, when the driving wheel 504 rotates counterclockwise, the second limiting structure 13 abuts against one side of the mounting seat 6, which is away from the box 1, and under the action of the second limiting structure 13, the push rod 7 is stationary, but when the driving wheel 504 rotates clockwise, the push rod 7 can be driven to extend out, so that when the driving wheel 504 drives the push rod 7 extending out of the mounting seat 6 to retract, the push rod 7 can be prevented from sliding out of the mounting seat 6 in the retracting process through the second limiting structure 13. Referring to fig. 12, when the push rod 7 extends out of the mounting seat 6, the first limiting structure 12 abuts against one side of the mounting seat 6 close to the box body, when the driving wheel 504 rotates counterclockwise, the push rod 7 can be driven to contract, and when the driving wheel 504 rotates clockwise, the push rod 7 is stationary under the action of the first limiting structure 12, so that when the driving wheel 504 drives the contracted push rod 7 to extend out, the push rod 7 can be prevented from sliding out of the mounting seat 6 through the first limiting structure 12 in the extending process.
Adopt first limit structure 12 and second limit structure 13 as limit structure, not only simple structure implements the convenience. In addition, the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 can be made of elastic materials, and the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 made of elastic materials can also achieve the following technical effects: referring to fig. 18, when the driving wheel 504 drives the push rod 7 extending out of the mounting seat 6 to contract along the direction L21, under the driving of the driving motor, along with the counterclockwise continuous rotation of the driving wheel 504, the driving wheel 504 will disengage from the driving teeth M at the extreme edge of the driving teeth of the push rod 7, so that the driving wheel 504 cannot engage with the driving teeth on the push rod 7, if the driving wheel 504 rotates clockwise again, and the push rod 7 needs to be driven to move along the direction opposite to the direction L21, because the driving wheel 504 already disengages from the driving teeth on the push rod 7, it is difficult to drive the push rod 7 to move along the opposite direction, however, if the second limit structure 13 made of elastic material is adopted as the limit structure, when the second limit structure 13 moves synchronously with the push rod 7 and the second limit structure 13 contacts with the edge of the mounting seat 6, under the elastic force of the second limit structure 13, the push rod 7 will be driven to move along the direction opposite to the direction L21 for, this ensures that the driving wheel 504 is engaged with the driving gear M on the push rod 7, thereby ensuring that the push rod 7 is smoothly driven to move when the driving wheel 504 rotates clockwise.
Similarly, referring to fig. 19, when the driving wheel 504 drives the push rod 7 retracted on the mounting seat 6 to extend along the direction L22, under the driving of the driving motor, along with the clockwise continuous rotation of the driving wheel 504, the driving wheel 504 will disengage from the driving teeth N at the edge of the driving teeth of the push rod 7, so that the driving wheel 504 cannot engage with the driving teeth on the push rod 7, if the driving wheel 504 rotates counterclockwise again, and it is necessary to drive the push rod 7 to move along the direction opposite to the direction L22, because the driving wheel 504 has disengaged from the driving teeth on the push rod 7, it is difficult to drive the push rod 7 to move along the opposite direction, however, if the first position-limiting structure 12 made of elastic material is used as the position-limiting structure, when the first position-limiting structure 12 moves synchronously with the push rod 7 and the first position-limiting structure 12 contacts with the edge of the mounting seat 6, under the elastic force of the first position-, the push rod 7 is driven to move for a certain distance in the direction opposite to the direction of the L22, so that the driving wheel 504 is meshed with the transmission teeth N on the push rod 7, and the push rod 7 is driven to move smoothly when the driving wheel 504 rotates counterclockwise.
Therefore, the first limiting structure 12 and the second limiting structure 13 made of elastic materials not only limit the movement of the push rod 7, but also ensure the continuity of the movement of the whole push rod 7 and the driving wheel 504.
First limit structure 12 and second limit structure 13 can adopt the shell fragment, include first shell fragment and second shell fragment promptly, the position that sets up of first shell fragment and second shell fragment has multiple condition, for example, refer to fig. 18 and 19, first shell fragment and second shell fragment set up the one side at the relative driving tooth of push rod 7, the one end and the push rod 7 of first shell fragment are connected, the other end is towards box 1 direction, the one end of second shell fragment also is connected with push rod 7, but the other end deviates from box 1 direction.
