Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the embodiment of the present invention provides a door 10 for a refrigerator, which is configured to be mounted on a refrigerator body 20 of the refrigerator to movably open or close a front side opening of the refrigerator body 20.

Fig. 2 is a schematic structural view of a door body 10 in the refrigerator shown in fig. 1; FIG. 3 is an exploded schematic view of the door body 10 shown in FIG. 2; FIG. 4 is an enlarged view at A of FIG. 3; FIG. 5 is a schematic top view of the door body shown in FIG. 2; fig. 6 is an enlarged view of fig. 5 at B. As shown in fig. 2 to 6, the door 10 may generally include a door body 100 and a lamp unit 300.

The door body 100 constitutes a main body portion of the door 10. One lateral end (left end in the drawing) of the door body 100 is formed with a "U" -shaped groove 110 recessed toward the other lateral end (right end) and extending vertically (extending in the up-down direction). The solid portion of the door body 100 forming the front wall of the "U" shaped groove 110 is indented toward the other lateral end of the door body 100 than the solid portion 111 of the door body 100 forming the rear wall of the "U" shaped groove 110. The solid portion of the door body 100 forming the front wall of the U-shaped recess 110 forms a handle portion 112.

the U-shaped groove 110 may penetrate the top and bottom surfaces of the door body 100 to form a vertical bar-shaped handle portion 112 extending from the top surface to the bottom surface of the door body 10, and a person's hand can open the door body 10 at any height position of the door body 10.

The door body and the box body can be connected in a rotating way. As shown in fig. 5, one side end (right end as viewed in the drawing) of the door body 100 is provided with a hinge hole 190, referred to as a hinge end, which is hinge-connected to the case 20 through the hinge hole 190. The other end (left end in the figure) remote from the hinged end is provided with the aforementioned handle portion 112.

an accommodating cavity 101 is defined inside the door body 100, and a light-transmitting opening 113 is formed at the handle portion 112 and used for irradiating light in the accommodating cavity 101 outwards. The light-transmitting opening 113 may be a separate opening, or a transparent material may be embedded in the opening.

since the handle portion 112 has a vertical bar shape, the light transmission opening 113 is preferably formed in a vertically extending long bar shape so as to more closely match the shape of the handle portion 112. On the basis, the elongated light transmission opening 113 may be disposed at the center or the upper center of the door body 10 in the height direction, because this position is the position that the general user is most used to hold.

The lighting lamp component 300 is installed in the accommodating cavity 101, and after the lighting lamp component 300 is powered on, the lighting lamp component emits light, and the light is emitted through the light-transmitting opening 113, so that the handle part 112 presents a bright effect. The user only needs to hold the bright portion with his hand in the dark, i.e., the handle portion 112 is accurately held. Therefore, the light is not required to be too bright, and the user can see the light, so that the discomfort of people caused by the fact that the light shines under the dark environment can be avoided. Because in a dark environment, the human eye feels uncomfortable when exposed to too strong light.

As shown in fig. 3 and 6, the grip portion 112 has an inner side surface 1122 extending in the lateral direction and an end surface 1121 extending in the front-rear direction. The light transmission opening 113 may be opened on an end surface 1121 extending in the front-rear direction so that light is irradiated in the lateral direction, the irradiation direction of which is indicated by an open arrow in fig. 6. Therefore, the user can see the light and the discomfort caused by the fact that the light is directly emitted into human eyes forwards is avoided.

in some embodiments, the receiving cavity 101 is made to communicate with the outside of the door body 100 through the upper opening 102 at the top of the door body 100. The lamp unit 300 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 from above the door body 100 through the upper opening 102.

Some existing refrigerators may mount the lighting lamp component directly inside the door body, so that the light emitting portion of the lighting lamp component is exposed to the outside through an opening, or fixed to the door body through other methods. These arrangements are characterized by the fact that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to disassemble the lamp components. Once the lighting lamp component is out of order and is difficult to replace, the refrigerator loses the lighting function. And the embodiment of the utility model provides a compare with above-mentioned structure, the door body 10 has realized the function of dismantling of light part 300. The user can conveniently and quickly take the lighting lamp component 300 out of the accommodating cavity 101 through the upper opening 102, and the replacement and maintenance of the lighting lamp component 300 are facilitated without destroying any other structure of the door body 10.

Fig. 7 is an exploded schematic view of the door body 10 shown in fig. 5. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5 to 7, the door body 10 further includes a pre-embedded box 200 having an open upper side. The embedded box 200 is fixed in the accommodating cavity 101. For example, in the process of manufacturing the door 10, the pre-buried box 200 is installed before foaming, and is fixed to the door body 100 by the screw 250. Thus, after foaming, the embedded box 200 is embedded in the foaming layer 130, which makes the embedded box 200 very stable.

The lighting lamp component 300 is inserted into the embedded box 200 from the upper side of the embedded box 200, and the light penetrates through the side wall of the embedded box 200 and is emitted through the light-transmitting opening 113. It is understood that the pre-embedded box 200 is made of a light-permeable material, such as acrylic.

The light-transmitting opening 113 is an opening communicating the outer side of the door body 100 and the inner side of the accommodating cavity 101, a protruding portion 210 is formed on one side surface of the embedded box 200 opposite to the light-transmitting opening 113, the protruding portion 210 is inserted into the light-transmitting opening 113, and a user can observe the protruding portion 210. The purpose of the protrusions 210 is to guide light. When the lamp unit 300 emits light, the protrusion 210 has a bright effect. In addition, set up pre-buried box 200 in order being used for holding light part 300, make light pierce through pre-buried box 200, then shoot out through light-transmitting opening 113, avoid light part 300 to expose outside through light-transmitting opening 113 and easily damage.

The outer surface of the protrusion 210 may be protruded outwardly by 0.1-1mm, for example, 0.5mm, compared to the surface of the handle portion 112 around the light transmission opening 113, so that it is more exposed to make the illumination effect thereof more excellent.

in order to reduce the cost and design difficulty of the illumination lamp unit 300, it is sufficient to design such that only one surface facing the light-transmitting opening 113 (i.e., the end surface 312) can emit light. Therefore, the lamp component 300 needs to be mounted so that the end surface 312 faces the light-transmitting opening 113. However, in the actual manufacturing process of the door body, the operator is likely to be unaware of the installation orientation and reverse the installation of the light assembly 300.

To solve the above problems, the present embodiment is designed particularly to the shape of the cross section of the outer contour of the lamp unit 300 (which means the cross section obtained by cutting the outer contour of the lamp unit 300 at a horizontal plane) and the shape of the inner contour of the inner cavity 201 of the insert box 200, so that the lamp unit 300 can be installed in the insert box 200 only in a unique posture, which can prevent errors in installation.

for example, as shown in fig. 7, the outer sectional shape of the lighting lamp component 300 (i.e., the outer sectional shape of the lamp housing 310) is: one corner of the rectangle is cut off to form an irregular hexagon, and the inner contour shape of the inner cavity 201 of the embedded box 200 is matched with the outer contour cross-sectional shape of the illuminating lamp component 300 and is also the irregular hexagon. This allows lamp assembly 300 to be installed in only one orientation. The posture is not time-synchronized and can not be put in, so that the operator can not be wrongly installed.

as shown in fig. 7, the lamp part 300 includes a lamp housing 310 and a light emitting part 320. The lamp housing 310 is made of a light-transmitting material. The lamp housing 310 defines a chamber 301. A light emitting part 320 is installed in the cavity 301 for emitting light after being energized. The light emitting part 320 may be a light emitting plate.

Another aspect of the present invention further provides a refrigerator, as shown in fig. 1, which includes a box body 20 and the door body 10. The cabinet 20 may have a front-side open structure, and the door 10 may be movably mounted to a front side of the cabinet 20 to open or close the cabinet 20.

The refrigerator shown in fig. 1 is a side-by-side refrigerator. However, the present invention does not limit the number of door bodies 10 included in the refrigerator and the installation method of the door bodies 10. Namely, the refrigerator can also be a refrigerator with a single side door, a multi-door structure or a structure that a door body slides left and right to open or close the refrigerator, and the like.

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