Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a vertical beam 300 of the refrigerator 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 6 is a schematic structural view of the storage compartment 110 of the refrigerator 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 7 is a partially enlarged view of the area B in fig. 6.

The top end of the vertical beam 300 and the inner side of the top wall of the storage compartment 110 are respectively provided with a first guide device 310 and a second guide device 120, so that the vertical beam 300 can turn when entering or exiting the notch 111.

As shown in fig. 5 to 7, according to the solution of this embodiment, the first guiding device 310 is disposed at the top end of the vertical beam 300, and the second guiding device 120 is disposed at a position (i.e., in the notch 111 formed at the front end of the top wall of the storage compartment 110) opposite to the vertical beam 300 inside the top wall of the storage compartment 110, so that when the top end of the vertical beam 300 enters and exits the notch 111 (i.e., when the first door 210 is opened or closed), the vertical beam can be smoothly turned over under the combined action of the first guiding device 310 and the second guiding device 120, thereby ensuring the normal use of the half-open door assembly 200 of the refrigerator 10, and improving the user experience.

The first guiding device 310 is a guiding groove 311; the second guiding means 120 is a guiding protrusion 121; and the guide protrusions 121 are inserted into the guide recesses 311 when the top ends of the vertical beams 300 are received in the notches 111.

According to the scheme of the embodiment, the first guide device 310 located at the top end of the vertical beam 300 is arranged to be the guide groove 311, the second guide device 120 located on the inner side of the front end of the top wall of the storage room 110 is arranged to be the guide protrusion 121 matched with the guide groove 311, and therefore the structure of the first guide device 310 and the structure of the second guide device 120 are more matched with the shape of the notch 111 formed on the inner side of the top wall of the storage room 110, the first guide device 310 and the second guide device 120 are guaranteed to smoothly guide the vertical beam 300 to overturn, and the top end of the vertical beam 300 can better abut against the notch 111.

The first guide device 310 and the second guide device 120 can be further arranged in the scheme of the embodiment, when the top end of the vertical beam 300 is accommodated in the notch 111, the guide protrusion 121 of the second guide device 120 can extend into the guide groove 311 of the first guide device 310, so that the cold air in the storage compartment 110 is further prevented from leaking from the top end of the vertical beam 300, and the sealing effect of the vertical beam 300 is improved.

The guide groove 311 is arc-shaped, and an opening 312 is formed at one end facing away from the rotating shaft direction of the vertical beam 300, so that the guide protrusion 121 can extend into or withdraw from the guide groove 311 from the opening 312; when the first door body 210 rotates relative to the cabinet 100, the guide protrusion 121 limits the guide groove 311, so that the vertical beam 300 is turned over. Wherein, the arc shape of the guide groove 311 is set according to the turning track of the vertical beam 300, and the side wall of the guide groove 311 gradually tapers inward from the opening 312 along the arc direction, and finally forms a closed round end at the end of the guide groove 311.

According to the scheme of the embodiment, the guide groove 311 is set to be arc-shaped, and the opening 312 is arranged at one end of the guide groove 311 far away from the vertical beam 300, so that the guide protrusion 121 can smoothly extend into or withdraw from the guide groove 311 from the opening 312, and therefore, when the first door body 210 rotates relative to the box 100, the guide protrusion 121 limits the guide groove 311, and the vertical beam 300 is overturned.

The guide protrusion 121 has a guide tip 122 facing forward, and the opening 312 of the guide recess 311 has a size larger than that of the guide tip 122 so that the guide protrusion 121 protrudes into the guide recess 311.

When the first door body 210 of the refrigerator 10 is closed, the guide tip 122 of the guide protrusion 121 is abutted with the opening 312 of the guide groove 311, then the guide protrusion 121 extends into the guide groove 311 from the opening 312 along the guide groove 311 to drive the vertical beam 300 to turn over until the first door body 210 is completely closed, at this time, the guide protrusion 121 extends into the guide groove 311 completely, and the vertical beam 300 is abutted against the second door body 220 and the refrigerator body 100.

When the first door 210 of the refrigerator 10 is opened, the guide protrusion 121 exits from the opening 312 along the guide groove 311, and drives the vertical beam 300 to turn over until the guide protrusion 121 is completely separated from the guide groove 311, and at this time, the vertical beam 300 does not rotate any more.

As shown in fig. 6 to 7, in the solution of this embodiment, the guide protrusion 121 is provided with the forward guide tip 122, and the size of the opening 312 of the guide groove 311 is set to be larger than the size of the guide tip 122, so that when the first door body 210 of the refrigerator 10 is closed, the guide tip 122 of the guide protrusion 121 can be smoothly abutted to the opening 312 of the guide groove 311, so that the guide protrusion 121 can smoothly extend into the guide groove 311, and further it is ensured that the vertical beam 300 can be normally turned over in the closing process of the first door body 210, and thus is abutted to the second door body 220, so as to close the gap between the first door body 210, the second door body 220 and the refrigerator body 100.

The guide protrusion 121 extends from the guide tip 122 along a plane to form a first sidewall 123 and extends along an arc to form a second sidewall 124, so that the guide groove 311 is guided by the first sidewall 123 and the second sidewall 124.

In the scheme of this embodiment, the guide protrusion 121 starts from the guide tip 122, and extends along a plane to form the first sidewall 123 and extends along an arc surface to form the second sidewall 124, so that the guide groove 311 is guided by the first sidewall 123 and the second sidewall 124, thereby ensuring the normal turning of the vertical beam 300.

Fig. 8 is an exploded view of the vertical beam 300 of the refrigerator 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 is a structural schematic view of a vertical beam 300 of the refrigerator 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 10 is a partially enlarged view of the area C in fig. 9.

The vertical beam 300 is further provided with an accommodating part 320 at a side close to the first door body 210, and the vertical beam 300 may further include: and a hinge assembly 330 configured to connect the first door body 210 and the vertical beam 300, and having a hinge shaft 331 provided in the receiving part 320.

As shown in fig. 6 to 8, an accommodating space is formed inside the vertical beam 300, and generally, the accommodating space can be filled with a foaming material having heat insulation effect to form a foaming layer, so as to improve the heat insulation effect of the vertical beam 300.

In the solution of this embodiment, the vertical beam 300 includes at least one hinge assembly 330, and the number of the hinge assemblies may be set according to actual requirements.

In some embodiments, the mullion 300 may include only one hinge assembly 330. In other embodiments, the vertical beam 300 may further include at least one other connecting member having a hinge function in addition to the hinge assembly 330 positioned at the upper portion of the vertical beam 300, so that the vertical beam 300 can rotate smoothly and stably with respect to the first door body 210.

In the scheme of this embodiment, the accommodating portion 320 is further disposed inside the vertical beam 300 on a side close to the first door body 210, and the vertical beam 300 further includes a hinge assembly 330 for connecting the first door body 210 and the vertical beam 300, and by disposing a hinge shaft 331 in the hinge assembly 330 in the accommodating portion 320 close to the first door body 210, while it is ensured that the vertical beam 300 can normally rotate relative to the first door body 210, a space occupied by the hinge shaft 331 inside the vertical beam 300 is reduced as much as possible, and further, a space which can be used for being filled with a foaming material inside the vertical beam 300 is increased, so as to improve a heat insulation effect of the vertical beam 300.

The hinge axis 331 may generally include: a first shaft portion 332 and a second shaft portion 333. The first shaft portion 332 is slidably disposed in the accommodating portion 320 in the longitudinal direction of the vertical beam 300, and the top surface thereof is formed as a cam surface; the second shaft portion 333 is disposed above the first shaft portion 332 and has a lower end surface that mates with the top surface of the first shaft portion 332.

Further, the hinge assembly 330 may generally further include a fixing portion 334. The fixing portion 334 extends from the second shaft portion 333 and is mounted on a side of the first door body 210 away from the pivot center of the first door body 210.

According to the scheme of this embodiment, the first shaft portion 332 and the second shaft portion 333 are arranged to be slidable along the longitudinal direction of the vertical beam 300, and the end surface of the first shaft portion 332 in contact with the second shaft portion 333 is provided with the wavy cam surface, so that when the vertical beam 300 rotates relative to the fixing portion 334 fixed on one side of the first door body 210 in the process of opening or closing the first door body 210, the upper end surface of the first shaft portion 332 can slide relative to the lower end surface of the second shaft portion 333, thereby ensuring the normal turning of the vertical beam 300 and limiting the vertical beam 300 to a certain extent.

The hinge assembly 330 may further include: one end of the compression spring 335 abuts against the bottom surface of the first shaft portion 332, and the other end abuts against the bottom surface of the accommodating portion 320. The compression spring 335 is in a compressed state when the first shaft portion 332 slides down in the longitudinal direction of the vertical beam 300, and in an expanded state when the first shaft portion 332 slides up in the longitudinal direction of the vertical beam 300. The elastic force of the compression spring 335 may be set according to the weight of the first shaft portion 332, and the length of the compression spring 335 may be set according to the distance from the bottom surface of the first shaft portion 332 to the bottom surface of the receiving portion 320, so that the first shaft portion 332 may slide upward in the longitudinal direction of the vertical beam 300 by the elastic force of the compression spring 335.

In the scheme of this embodiment, when the first door body 210 is opened or closed, the first guide device 310 and the second guide device 120 cooperate to guide, and under the action of the guide force, the vertical beam 300 is turned over relative to the fixing portion 334 fixed on the first door body 210, so that the second shaft portion 333 connected with the fixing portion 334 rotates relative to the first shaft portion 332 along the cam surface, and further drives the first shaft portion 332 to move downward along the cam surface, and when the first shaft portion 332 rotates to the lowest point of the cam surface and continues to rotate, the first shaft portion 332 moves upward under the action of the elastic force provided by the compression spring 335 and rotates under the action of the cam surface.

After the first door body 210 is opened or closed, the first guide device 310 and the second guide device 120 are disengaged from each other, a guide force for rotating the vertical beam 300 relative to the fixing portion 334 is no longer provided, the fixing portion 334 cannot continue to drive the second shaft portion 333 to rotate relative to the first shaft portion 332, the first shaft portion 332 recovers to a fit state matched with the lower end face of the first shaft portion 332 under the elastic force provided by the compression spring 335, and therefore the vertical beam 300 is limited, the turning angle of the vertical beam 300 relative to the first door body 210 can be kept normal, and therefore the first guide device 310 and the second guide device 120 can be conveniently guided in a matched manner in the subsequent opening and closing process of the first door body 210, and the vertical beam 300 can be guaranteed to be turned normally.

Storage compartment 110 is configured as a freezer compartment; the refrigerator body 100 is also provided with a refrigeration chamber with an opening at the front part, a refrigeration door body is arranged at the opening of the refrigeration chamber, and a refrigeration vertical beam is rotatably arranged on the refrigeration door body; the vertical beam 300 of the freezing compartment has a thickness dimension greater than the thickness dimension of the refrigerating vertical beam of the refrigerating compartment.

As is well known to those skilled in the art, the temperature in the refrigerated compartment is generally in the range of 2 ℃ to 10 ℃, preferably 4 ℃ to 7 ℃. The temperature in the freezer compartment is typically in the range of-22 ℃ to-14 ℃. The optimum storage temperatures for different types of items are different and the locations suitable for storage are different, for example, fruit and vegetable foods are suitable for storage in the cold storage compartment and meat foods are suitable for storage in the cold storage compartment.

In the solution of this embodiment, the refrigerator body 100 of the refrigerator 10 may be configured with one or more storage compartments 110.

In some embodiments, the cabinet 100 of the refrigerator 10 may be configured with two storage compartments 110, the two storage compartments 110 may be respectively configured as a freezing compartment for freezing and a refrigerating compartment for refrigerating, the refrigerating and freezing compartments may be arranged up and down along a longitudinal direction of the refrigerator 10, and the refrigerating compartment may be located above the freezing compartment. Since the temperature inside the freezing compartment is much lower than the temperature inside the refrigerating compartment, and the temperature difference between the inside and the outside is larger, the heat-insulating effect of the vertical beam 300 needs to be further improved in order to achieve a better refrigerating effect in the freezing compartment of the refrigerator 10.

The scheme of this embodiment especially sets up the thickness dimension that is located the vertical beam 300 of freezing compartment to be greater than the thickness dimension that is located the cold-stored vertical beam of cold-stored compartment, through the thickness dimension that increases the vertical beam 300 of freezing compartment to make the accommodation space of the inside of vertical beam 300 bigger, can fill more foaming material, and then improved the thermal-insulated heat preservation effect of the vertical beam 300 of freezing compartment, promoted the refrigeration effect of the freezing compartment of refrigerator 10.

In other embodiments, the box body 100 of the refrigerator 10 may also be configured with only one storage compartment 110, and the storage compartment 110 may be a refrigerating compartment or a freezing compartment, and may be specifically configured according to actual requirements.

When the storage compartment 110 of the refrigerator 10 is a freezing compartment, the vertical beam 300 on the split door assembly 200 at the opening of the freezing compartment has a larger thickness to improve the heat insulation effect of the vertical beam 300. When the storage compartment 110 of the refrigerator 10 is a refrigerating compartment, the thickness of the refrigerating vertical beam on the refrigerating door body at the opening of the refrigerating compartment is smaller, so that the cost of the refrigerating vertical beam is reduced while the heat preservation requirement of the refrigerating compartment is met.

In a conventional refrigerator, a freezing compartment of the refrigerator is generally in a drawer type structure. However, the sliding rail of the drawer in the freezing chamber is easily deformed due to long-term pressure during long-term operation, so that the drawer cannot be normally closed, and normal use of a user is further influenced. In addition, the drawer-type structure not only limits the size of the stored objects in the height direction, so that a plurality of stored objects with large sizes cannot be placed into the freezing chamber, but also has low space utilization rate due to the fact that the space inside the drawer is a whole space which cannot be separated and utilized, and a plurality of stored objects can be stacked together disorderly, so that the use experience of a user is greatly influenced.

According to the scheme of the embodiment, the side-by-side opening door body assembly 200 is arranged at the freezing chamber of the refrigerator 10, and the vertical beam 300 is arranged on the first door body 210 of the side-by-side opening door body assembly 200, so that the size limitation of the freezing chamber on stored objects is removed on the premise that the refrigerating effect of the freezing chamber of the refrigerator 10 is guaranteed, the space utilization rate of the freezing chamber is improved, and the use experience of a user is further improved.

Further, in other embodiments, when the storage compartment 110 is configured as a freezing compartment, one or more detachable partition plates may be further disposed in the freezing compartment, and a user may adjust the partition plates according to actual needs to separate the space in the freezing compartment, so that various stored objects may be orderly stored in the freezing compartment, thereby greatly improving the space utilization rate of the freezing compartment and further improving the user experience.

Further, according to the scheme of the embodiment, the thickness dimension of the vertical beam 300 of the storage compartment 110 with different functions is matched with the function of the storage compartment 110, so that the heat preservation effect of the vertical beam 300 and the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator 10 are further improved.

Thus, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the invention may be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be understood and interpreted to cover all such other variations or modifications.
