Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerator the door of which is prevented from remaining open unintentionally.
- doors In refrigerators comprising doors next to each other and named as “side-by-side”, the doors are used which are arranged side-by-side, which cover the opening on the body, which are mounted to the body so as to rotate around the vertical axis by one of them being hinged from its left side and the other from its right side.
- the doors disposed on the right and left cover a single compartment, for example the freshfood compartment, which is accessed into by means of the opening.
- the doors When the doors are closed, the doors press on the frame around the opening and leak-proofing is provided by the gaskets between the door and the frame.
- mullions In order to provide leak-proofing between the end to end sides of the two doors, mullions are used which rotate around the axis at which they are connected to the door, by going in and out of the bearing, connected to one of the doors and situated on one of the top or bottom sides of the frame facing the opening. When both doors are closed, the mullion provides insulation of the cooling volume by forming a surface against which the gaskets bear.
- the mullion When the door is open, the mullion bears against the side of the door to which it is connected and while the door is being closed, the mullion forms a surface against which the other door bears by rotating 90 degrees in the bearing. While the door is being opened, the mullion returns to its initial position wherein it bears against the side of the door to which it is connected by again rotating 90 degrees in the bearing. During the opening of the door, the mullion sometimes rotates and does not bear against the side of the door. This situation causes the doors not to be completely closed by preventing the mullion from being guided into the bearing when the door is desired to be closed again and causes the mullion to produce noise upon hitting the door. The doors not being closed completely both increases energy consumption and also causes the foodstuffs inside the body to deteriorate more quickly.
- the aim of the present invention is the realization of a refrigerator the door of which is prevented from remaining open except for the intention of the user.
- the refrigerator realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention and explicated in the claims comprises two doors, a first door and a second door, covering the opening on the body, disposed side by side, mounted to the body by one of them being hinged from its left side, the other from its right side and a mullion mounted on the first door, providing leak-proofing between the doors when the doors are closed.
- a pin is disposed at least at one end of the mullion and the mullion is provided to move within the bearing orbit by the pin being guided into the bearing disposed at the region where both doors join at the lower and/or upper wall of the body facing the opening.
- the refrigerator furthermore, comprises a protrusion disposed on the inner surface of the first door, a bearing surface disposed on the protrusion and facing the second door when the doors are closed and an absorber attached to the mullion or the bearing surface so as to remain between the bearing surface and the mullion when the first door is open.
- the kinetic energy of the mullion is absorbed by the absorber. Remaining between the mullion and the bearing surface during the opening of the first door, the absorber prevents the mullion from swinging open by hitting the bearing surface with the kinetic force generated by the rotational movement of the mullion.
- the problems such as the pin not being guided into the bearing when the first door is desired to be closed again, etc. are avoided and the doors are prevented from remaining open unintentionally.
- the absorber is disposed onto the mullion.
- the absorber moves together with the mullion during the opening/closing of the first door.
- the absorber hits the bearing surface first during the opening of the first door and the kinetic energy of the mullion is absorbed by the absorber at this time.
- the mullion is prevented from returning to the position it is in when the first door is closed by preventing the mullion from quick recoiling due to the effect of hitting.
- undesired sounds such as noise, etc. are prevented during hitting the first door.
- the absorber is attached all along to the wall of the mullion facing the bearing surface when the first door is open.
- the capacity of the absorber to absorb kinetic energy on the mullion during the opening of the first door is increased and the assembly of the absorber onto the mullion is facilitated.
- the absorber is disposed on the bearing surface. During the opening of the first door, the mullion hits the absorber. The mullion is prevented from recoiling by its kinetic energy being absorbed during the hitting.
- a magnet is disposed on the absorber and a plate produced from metal on the bearing surface.
- the absorber is provided to remain between the mullion and the bearing surface by means of the magnetic attraction force generated between the magnet and the plate. The generated magnetic force prevents the mullion from rotating by swinging open.
- the refrigerator comprises a magnet disposed on the bearing surface and a plate on the absorber.
- the absorber is provided to hold onto the mullion and the bearing surface so as to remain between the mullion and the bearing surface.
- the mullion is prevented from recoiling by swinging open during the opening of the first door.
- the magnet is in strip form.
- the magnet is easily mounted onto the absorber or the bearing surface which are almost in a planar form.
- the problem of the mullion swinging open by hitting the first door at a high speed during the opening of the first door is eliminated.
- the pin is prevented from not guiding into the bearing during the closing of the first door and the problems such as the doors remaining ajar unintentionally are eliminated.
