Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerator comprising a door, the height adjustment of which can be made.
- US 2 618 010 discloses a door hinge for heavy doors, e.g. for refrigerators, that provides a simple, durable and adjustable waterproof set of hinges.
- the height of the refrigerator door can be adjusted.
- the door weight is loaded on an antifriction ball that requires an oil supply for proper functioning.
- US 5 568 673 relates to a height adjustment mechanism used in folding doors, e.g. of closet, cupboard or cabinet doors.
- a spring arranged in a carrier provided on the bottom of the closet, cupboard or cabinet provides a force opposing the weight of the door, thereby facilitating the height adjustment of the door.
- Some of the state of the art door height adjustment mechanisms are integrated into the hinge. Since these mechanisms also support the weight of the door, the door height can only be adjusted by the producer or the service personnel and the user cannot make the door height adjustment. The height adjustment mechanisms separate from the hinge set bring an additional cost.
- the aim of the present invention is the realization of a refrigerator wherein the height adjustment of the door thereof can be made easily.
- the refrigerator realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a body wherein the foodstuffs to be cooled are placed, a door providing insulation of the body from the exterior environment and at least one hinge set that provides the door to be mounted to the body so as to rotate around a rotational axis.
- the hinge set of the present invention comprises a carrier mounted to a hinge bearing that extends towards under the door and an adjustment mechanism disposed in a connection member extending between the body and the upper portions of the door.
- the door is supported on the body by means of the force exerted by the carrier opposite to the weight of the door.
- the adjustment mechanism when its position is changed, changes the pressure exerted by the door on the carrier and provides the door to move.
- the adjustment mechanism can be moved easily since the weight of the door is not imposed thereon.
- the carrier pushing the door upwards is provided with a carrier spring.
- the force exerted on the carrier by the door is also too much and the carrier spring is compressed.
- the door remains at the same level with the body with the effect of its weight.
- the force exerted on the spring decreases and the spring pushes the door upwards.
- the force exerted on the spring by the door is increased by changing the position of the adjustment mechanism so that the door remains at the same level with the body.
- the carrier of the present invention is furthermore mounted onto the hinge bearing secured on the kick plate that extends outwards from the body.
- a bush is disposed in the hinge bearing which provides the door to be supported.
- the carrier spring disposed between the bush and the hinge bearing provides the bush to push the door.
- a sliding pin is situated in the bush that is seated into the housing disposed as an inward recess on the door. The sliding pin slides inside the housing towards into the bush by means of the sliding pin spring situated between the sliding pin and the bush, almost without being affected by the weight of the door. Thus, abrasion does not occur on the surface of the door rubbing against the sliding pin.
- connection member contacting the body is secured to the body.
- An shaft suitable to be placed into a shaft bearing disposed on the door is provided in the portion of the connection member contacting the door.
- An adjustment nut is disposed on the shaft, that can provide pressure to be exerted on the shaft bearing when moved. The pressure the door exerts on the carrier can be adjusted by moving the adjustment nut.
- the door can be provided to be moved upwards or downwards.
- the shaft is screw shaped.
- the adjustment nut can move on the shaft by being guided.
- the refrigerator (1) of the present invention comprises a body (2), at least one door (3) disposed on the body (2), providing access into the body (2) and at least one hinge set (4) that provides the door (3) to be fastened to the body (2) ( Figure 1 ).
- Insulation is provided between the cooled air inside the body (2) and the exterior environment by the door (3) entirely overlapping with the body (2).
- the height adjustment of the door (3) is provided by the producer by means of the hinge set (4) so that the door (3) overlaps with the body (2) entirely.
- the hinge set (4) comprises;
- a kick plate (8) is disposed on the lower side of the body (2) that extends along the front edge of the body (2) towards under the door (3).
- the hinge bearing (9) is mounted to the end of the kick plate (8) which is the rotational axis of the door (3).
- the carrier (5) is mounted inside the hinge bearing (9) and the door (3) is placed on the carrier (5).
- the carrier (5) provides the door (3) to be supported in a flexible manner by pushing the door (3) upwards.
- the adjustment mechanism (6) By changing the position of the adjustment mechanism (6), the door (3) can be moved upwards and downwards.
- the door (3) changes the position by being pressured between the carrier (5) and the adjustment mechanism (6).
- the user can easily perform the height adjustment of the door (3) by moving the door (3) upwards or downwards on the flexible carrier (5) by means of the adjustment mechanism (6).
- the door (3) is provided to be aligned at the same level with the body (2).
- the carrier (5) comprises a carrier spring (7) that provides the door (3), seated on the hinge bearing (9), to be pushed upwards ( Figure 3 ).
- the door (3) is positioned on the carrier (5) so as to apply pressure to the carrier spring (7).
- the adjustment mechanism (6) is provided to push the door (3) downwards when moved in the downward direction and the carrier spring (7) enables the door (3) to move in the downward direction by stretching in the downward direction.
- the pressure on the carrier spring (7) is released and the carrier spring (7) is provided to push the door (3) upwards.
- the door (3) is provided to be changed to the most suitable position by changing the position of the adjustment mechanism (6).
- the carrier spring (7) is of cylindrical helical type.
- the pushing force of the carrier spring (7) is selected so as to support the weight of the door (3).
- the adjustment mechanism (6) is moved downwards, the pressure it applies on the door (3) joins with the weight of the door (3), overcomes the force of the carrier spring (7) and the carrier spring (7) stretches downwards.
- the adjustment mechanism (6) is moved upwards, the pressure it applies on the door (3) is released, the force of the carrier spring (7) overcomes the weight of the door (3) and pushes the door (3) upwards.
- the carrier (5) furthermore, comprises;
- the carrier spring (7) is disposed in the hinge bearing (9) and the bush (11) is situated thereon. Inside the bush (11), the sliding pin spring (13) is placed and the sliding pin (12) is disposed into the sliding pin spring (13) respectively.
- the sliding pin (12) and the pin spring (13) facilitate the opening/closing motion of the door (3). While the door (3) moves in the hinge bearing (9), the housing (10) exerts pressure on the bush (11), the sliding pin (12) and the pin spring (13).
- the bush (11) transfers the weight of the door (3) to the carrier spring (7).
- the pin spring (13) prevents the contacting surfaces of the bush (11) and the sliding pin (12) from abrading each other and provides the life of the carrier (5) to be prolonged.
- the adjustment mechanism (6) comprises;
- the adjustment nut (17) disposed on the shaft (16) is wider than the shaft bearing (15) and does not enter into the shaft bearing (15).
- the adjustment nut (17) forms an opposite force against the pushing force of the carrier (5) when rotated in one direction by exerting pressure to the door (3) through the shaft bearing (15). Accordingly, the door (3) moves in the downward direction.
- the adjustment nut (17) is rotated in the opposite direction, the pressure exerted to the shaft bearing (15) and hence to the door (3) decreases.
- the carrier (5) enables the upward directional motion of the door (3) by pushing the door (3) upwards.
- the height adjustment of door (3) is made easily by means of the hinge set (4).
- the hinge set (4) has the carrier (5) supporting the weight of the door (3) and pushing the door (3) upwards and an adjustment mechanism (6) providing the pressure exerted to the door (3) to be changed when its position is changed and thus enabling the door (3) to move upwards or downwards.
- the height adjustment of the door (3) can be performed by exerting a very small amount of force since almost no load is imposed on the adjustment mechanism (6). Consequently, the door (3) is provided to be closed on the body (2) properly, the height adjustment of door (3) impaired during transportation or by load placed on the door (3) can be readjusted easily.
