Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly relates to an automatic opening and closing device for a refrigerator door.
Background
At present, medium and high-grade refrigerators in the market are relatively large, door bodies, load weights of the door bodies and door seal suction of the door bodies or drawer type door bodies are large, and more users feed back refrigerator door bodies to be opened difficultly.
The opening of the refrigerator door is generally divided into three stages. The first stage is that when the automatic door is opened, the forces such as door seal suction force, door locking force, door hinge friction force and the like are mainly overcome, the force required to be overcome in the first stage is the largest, and the force value required is at least 60N through measurement; the friction force of a door hinge is mainly overcome in the door opening process in the second stage, the force to be overcome in this stage is the minimum, and the tension value is between 3 and 5N after the measurement and summary of multiple items of data; when the door body is automatically closed in the third stage, the locking force, the hinge friction force and other forces of the automatic closing are mainly overcome. When a user opens the refrigeration door, the refrigerator door is opened too hard, and even the refrigerator body tilts forward and shakes too hard; if the force is too small, the refrigerator door cannot be opened. The door opening mechanism in the current market is mainly a partially opened electric mechanism, namely, a door body is opened to a certain angle and then manually opened to the maximum state, and the third stage of closing the refrigerator door needs manual closing by a user. If the whole door opening and closing process is realized by adopting the rotating mechanism, the requirement on the output torque value of the driving motor is very high, and a gear mechanism is required to realize speed reduction to amplify the torque. The prior market also has an automatic door opening and closing device which comprises a push rod mechanism and a rotating mechanism, wherein in the automatic door opening process, the refrigerator door is opened to a certain angle through the push rod mechanism, and then the rotating mechanism is involved to open the refrigerator door to a required angle; and for the door closing process, the whole door closing process is realized by completely depending on the rotating actuator mechanism to rotate the hinge.
The chinese patent application with application publication No. CN107655255A discloses an automatic door opening device and a refrigerator with the same, wherein the ejection mechanism comprises a dc motor, the output end of the dc motor is provided with a speed reduction part, the speed reduction part comprises a transmission gear, a transmission gear is engaged with a rack, the rack is connected with one end of an ejection rod, and the other end of the ejection rod is in contact with a refrigerator door. By arranging the rack and the ejector rod, the transmission gear drives the rack to move in the process of the movement of the speed reduction part, and the ejector rod is driven by the rack to move outwards, so that the refrigerator door is separated from the refrigerator body and is in an open state by suction force; the rotating mechanism comprises a hinge fixedly connected with the refrigerator door, an overload protector is arranged at the top of the hinge, the other end of the overload protector is connected with an output shaft of the speed reducing motor, a fixing plate is arranged between the overload protector and the speed reducing motor, and one end of the fixing plate is fixedly connected with the refrigerator body. By arranging the overload protector, the safety of the mechanism can be protected under the condition of meeting external super-large torque; when the force allowed by the overload protector is exceeded, two ends of the overload protector rotate relatively, so that structural damage caused by large force is avoided; through setting up the hinge on the refrigerator door, the fixed plate setting can drive the hinge motion in gear motor motion process and realize opening and closing of refrigerator door in the refrigerator main part. Currently, whether the door of the refrigerator is opened or closed, the ejection mechanism needs to give a large ejection force to overcome the door opening resistance, and usually needs to be more than 60N. For the current cross refrigerator, the rotating mechanism needs to overcome the resistance of the upper baffle plate of the refrigerator door, the friction force of the hinge and the locking force of the locking mechanism of the refrigerator door, and needs a larger torque which can be realized only by at least 5 N.m. Therefore, in order to realize the ejection force, the ejector rod mechanism needs a set of speed reducing motor and a gear rack transmission mechanism; for the rotating mechanism, factors such as the integral installation size and working noise are considered, a micro motor with smaller output torque is usually selected, a set of complex gear transmission mechanism is needed to realize that the large transmission ratio reaches the preset output torque, severe challenges are brought to the type selection of the gear and the integral transmission reliability and service life of the rotating mechanism, and the problems of complex assembly process and high realization automation cost are also brought; in addition, since the household appliances such as the refrigerator are placed in a relatively closed area such as a kitchen, the user is very sensitive to working noise/frequency and the like, the number of transmission mechanisms is large, and the rotating mechanism with a complex structure is difficult to meet the expectations of the customer.
