As shown in fig. 1 to 8, the side-by-side combination refrigerator 100 of the present embodiment may generally include: a cabinet 110 and a door.
Wherein, the case 110 may define a storage space 117 therein. The door body may be disposed on a front surface of the cabinet 110 to enclose the storage space 117. In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the door bodies may include a first door body 120 and a second door body 130 that are opened relatively. The first door 120 includes: the magnetic sensor comprises a body 121 and a vertical beam 122 rotatably connected to the body 121, wherein an upward first protrusion 123 is arranged at the top of the vertical beam 122, and a magnetic sensor 124 is arranged at the first protrusion 123. The housing 110 is fixedly provided with a base 111, a magnet 112 is arranged in the base 111, and a magnetic sensor 124 is configured to sense an actual distance from the magnet 112. The side-by-side combination refrigerator 100 of the embodiment can accurately determine the opening and closing state of the door body without adding an additional structure or changing the original appearance, and provides a prerequisite for subsequent alarm to prompt that the door body is not closed.
In a specific embodiment, the number and the structure of the storage space 117 defined inside the box body 110 can be configured as required, and the storage space 117 can be configured as a refrigerating space, a freezing space, a temperature changing space or a fresh keeping space according to different purposes. Each storage space 117 may be divided into a plurality of storage regions by a partition plate, and the storage regions may store articles by racks or drawers. As shown in fig. 1, the side-by-side refrigerator 100 of the present embodiment may be provided with a storage space 117. Alternatively, in another embodiment, FIG. 1 shows one of the storage spaces 117 of the side-by-side refrigerator 100, such as the uppermost storage space 117. In addition, the storage space 117 corresponding to the first door 120 and the second door 130 which are opened relatively may be a refrigerating space.
The door bodies 120 may be disposed corresponding to the storage spaces 117, that is, one or more door bodies 120 may be disposed corresponding to each storage space 117. The number of the storage space 117 and the door 120 and the function of the storage space 117 can be selected according to the actual situation. The door 120 may be pivotally disposed on the front surface of the box 110, and may also be opened in a drawer manner to implement the drawer-type storage space 117, where the drawer-type storage space 117 is often provided with a metal slide rail, so as to ensure a soft effect during the opening and closing process of the drawer, and reduce noise. As shown in fig. 1, the storage space 117 of the side-by-side refrigerator 100 of the present embodiment may be provided with a door body that pivots open. Also, the door bodies may include a first door body 120 and a second door body 130 that are relatively opened.
Further, the side-by-side refrigerator 100 may further include: a refrigeration system configured to provide cooling energy to the storage space 117. Also, the refrigeration system may be a compression refrigeration system, including components such as an evaporator, a condenser, and a compressor. The compressor and the second condenser may be disposed in the compressor compartment, and the evaporator may be disposed in the cooling compartment. The refrigeration system provides different amounts of cooling to the refrigerated space and the refrigerated space, so that the temperatures in the refrigerated space and the refrigerated space are different. Wherein the temperature in the refrigerated space is typically between 2 ℃ and 10 ℃, preferably between 3 ℃ and 8 ℃. The temperature in the refrigerated space is typically in the range of-22 ℃ to-14 ℃. The optimal storage temperatures for different types of food are different, and thus the storage space 117 suitable for storage is also different. For example, fruit and vegetable foods are suitable for storage in the refrigerated space, while meat foods are suitable for storage in the refrigerated space.
As shown in fig. 1, the door bodies of the side-by-side refrigerator 100 of the present embodiment may include a first door body 120 and a second door body 130 that are relatively opened. Specifically, the first door 120 and the second door 130 are both connected to the cabinet 110 by a pivot shaft (not shown), so as to be pivotally opened. The first door 120 is a left door with a pivot axis on the left side of the top, and the second door 130 is a right door with a pivot axis on the right side of the top.
In a preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 to 8, the magneto-sensitive device 124 is located on the rear side of the first protrusion 123 when the vertical beam 122 is parallel to the body 121. The base 111 has an upward second protrusion 113 on the front side, and a receiving groove 114 is formed on the rear side of the second protrusion 113, and the magnet 112 is disposed in the receiving groove 114. The second protrusion 113 has a guide groove 115 formed below it, and the guide groove 115 is shaped to match the first protrusion 123 and has an opening 116 in front thereof.
Since there is typically a gap between the first door body 120 and the second door body 130, the gap between the two door bodies is typically sealed by providing a vertical beam 122 on one of the door bodies. For example, the first door body 120 of the present embodiment includes: a body 121 and a vertical beam 122 rotatably connected to the body 121. Specifically, when the first door 120 is opened, the vertical beam 122 is turned to be at a certain angle with the body 121, and when the first door 120 is closed, the vertical beam 122 is turned to be parallel to the body 121 to seal the gap. The present embodiment mainly completes the turning of the vertical beam 122 by a mechanical structure. Specifically, by fixedly providing the base 111 on the cabinet 110, the base 111 can be located just above the vertical beam 122 when the first door 120 is completely closed. Moreover, the first protrusion 123 at the top of the vertical beam 122 and the corresponding guide groove 115 on the base 111 can limit the first protrusion 123 by the guide groove 115, so as to realize the turning of the vertical beam 122.
As shown in fig. 2, a door liner 125 may be provided inside the body 121. The side of the door liner 125 away from the pivot axis of the first door body 120 has an inclined mounting surface 126, and the position where the vertical beam 122 abuts against the mounting surface 126 is the reset position. In a specific embodiment, during the closing process of the first door body 120, if the vertical beam 122 is in the reset position, after the first door body 120 is completely closed, the first protrusion 123 rotates into the guide groove 115 from the opening 116, and the vertical beam 122 rotates to a position parallel to the body 121. When the first door 120 is completely closed, the actual distance between the magnet 112 and the magnetic sensor 124 is less than or equal to the first preset distance.
In another specific embodiment, during the closing process of the first door 120, if the vertical beam 122 is not in the reset position, the first protrusion 123 is blocked by the base 111 and cannot rotate into the guide groove 115, and the first door 120 cannot be completely closed. Under the condition that the first door body 120 is not completely closed, the actual distance between the magnet 112 and the magnetic sensing device 124 is greater than or equal to a second preset distance, wherein the second preset distance is greater than the first preset distance. For example, the first predetermined distance may be 15 millimeters and the second predetermined distance may be 25 millimeters. It should be noted that the specific values of the first preset distance and the second preset distance are only examples, and are not intended to limit the present invention. In other embodiments, specific values of the first preset distance and the second preset distance may also be set according to actual situations.
In a preferred embodiment, the side-by-side refrigerator 100 may further include: and the alarm device (not shown in the figure) is configured to output alarm information when the first door body 120 is determined not to be completely closed according to the actual distance between the magnetic sensing device 124 and the magnet 112 and the time of the incomplete closing exceeds the preset time. Specifically, the alarm device may be a display device disposed on an outer surface of the first door 120 or the second door 130, and the alarm device may prompt the user that the doors are not completely closed by outputting video or audio information. In other embodiments, the alarm device may also be a sound-emitting device such as a buzzer, and the sound information such as a buzzer is output to prompt the user that the door body is not completely closed.
It is emphasized that some side by side type refrigerators in the prior art may be provided with an alarm device to alarm the incomplete closing of the door body. One embodiment will be described below to illustrate the problems associated with the prior art side-by-side refrigerator. The existing side-by-side combination refrigerator is generally provided with a magnetic sensing device 124 in each of a left hinge box and a right hinge box, magnets 112 are respectively arranged at corresponding positions on two door bodies, and whether the door bodies are closed in place or not is sensed through the induction of the magnets 112 and the magnetic sensing devices 124. The magnet 112 and the magnetic sensing device 124 have the requirement of sensing distance, when the door body is closed, the distance between the magnet 112 and the magnetic sensing device 124 is required to be less than 15 mm, the magnet 112 and the magnetic sensing device can sense the distance, and the refrigerator cannot give an alarm; when the door body is opened, and the distance between the magnet 112 and the magnetic sensing device 124 is larger than 25 mm, the magnet and the magnetic sensing device cannot sense, so that the refrigerator can consider that the door body is in an open state under the state, and can automatically alarm and remind after a certain time.
Meanwhile, when the distance between the magnetic sensing device 124 and the magnet 112 is in the range of 15 mm to 25 mm, the door closing stop at the bottom of the door body can take effect, and the automatic closing of the door body is guaranteed. For a door body without the vertical beam 122, the detection mode has no problem. However, for the door body provided with the vertical beam 122, if the vertical beam 122 is not turned over, the protrusion of the vertical beam 122 cannot turn over along the track of the base 111, and the door body cannot be closed and is not easy to be found. At this time, the distance between the magnetic sensor 124 and the magnet 112 is about 18, and the door alarm cannot be realized.
In the side-by-side combination refrigerator 100 of the embodiment, the magnetic sensing device 124 is disposed at the first protrusion 123 of the vertical beam 122, and the magnet 112 is disposed in the base 111 fixed to the refrigerator body 110, so that the arrangement positions of the magnetic sensing device 124 and the magnet 112 are more reasonable, and the problem that the alarm cannot be given is solved. When the first door 120 in this embodiment is closed, if the vertical beam 122 is not in the reset position, the first protrusion 123 is blocked by the base 111, and at this time, the distance between the magnetic sensor 124 and the magnet 112 is greater than or equal to 25 mm, and the alarm device can automatically alarm.
When the vertical beam 122 is at the reset position, the first protrusion 123 is not blocked by the base 111, the first door body 120 can be completely closed, and the first protrusion 123 rotates in along the guide groove 115 of the base 111, at this time, the distance between the magnetic sensing device 124 and the magnet 112 is less than or equal to 15, the two can sense the distance, and the alarm device cannot give an alarm. In a specific embodiment, in a case that the first door 120 is completely closed, a distance between the magnetic sensing device 124 and the magnet 112 may be about 9.5 mm.
It should be noted that in a preferred embodiment, the magnetic sensing device 124 can be a magnetic sensing switch. The reed switch, also called magnetron, is a switching element controlled by magnetic field signals, and the circuit is disconnected when no magnetism exists, so that the reed switch can be used for detecting mechanical movement or the state of the circuit. When the magnetic switch is not in working state, the two reeds in the glass tube are not contacted. If a magnetic substance is close to the glass tube, the two reeds are magnetized and mutually attracted together under the action of the magnetic field, so that the circuit is closed. When the magnetic substance disappears, the two reeds are separated due to the elasticity of the reeds without the influence of external magnetic force, and the circuit is disconnected.
In this embodiment, the distance between the magnetic sensor device 124 and the magnet 112 is changed to change the open state of the circuit in the magnetic sensor device 124, and the distance between the magnet 112 and the magnetic sensor device 124 can be determined by detecting the open state of the circuit. In addition, a heating wire can be arranged inside the vertical beam 122 for eliminating condensation after the heating is started. Therefore, the vertical beam 122 of the present embodiment is provided with the magnetic sensing device 124, and the wire thereof can be arranged together with the wire of the heating wire, so that no additional wire part is added, and the overall structure is effectively simplified.
