Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refrigeration appliance and its manufacturing method, especially to a household or commercial refrigeration appliance having a dispenser and a manufacturing method thereof.
  • CN 101071026 discloses a refrigeration appliance which is provided with a dispenser in its door.
  • a front panel of the door is formed with an opening for mounting the dispenser.
  • the dispenser has a dispenser casing which defines an inner cavity.
  • the dispenser casing is provided along the opening of the door so that the inner cavity corresponds to the opening.
  • a user may put an outside container such as a cup into the inner cavity to receive ice or water stored in the refrigeration appliance.
  • the dispenser casing comprises a cavity rim which is provided at the front end of the inner cavity and is substantially parallel with the front panel.
  • the cavity rim has a shape that corresponds to the opening of the front panel and a width and a length which are larger than that of the opening.
  • the dispenser casing When assembling, the dispenser casing is inserted into the opening of the front panel from front side to back side. After assembling, the back surface of the cavity rim is attached to the front surface of the front panel and is thus exposed on the front surface of the door, and a gap between the cavity rim and the front panel is also exposed to outside. In order to cover the gap which is generally significantly uneven, the refrigeration appliance is additionally provided with a frame which is arranged along the opening to cover the cavity rim which otherwise will be outwardly exposed, to obtain an appearance which is even and smooth. Meanwhile, a display and control unit is attached to an upper portion of the frame and thus is connected to the door together with the frame.
  • KR 2006-006246 discloses a dispenser casing structure of another refrigeration appliance.
  • the dispenser casing is formed at an end of its inner cavity with a slot which is parallel to a front panel of a door. An edge of the front panel is inserted into the slot for mounting an opening of the dispenser, so as to form a relatively close engagement between the dispenser casing and the front panel and prevent any leakage of foams which may be occurred in a foaming process.
  • the connection between the dispenser casing and the opening cannot be easily achieved by this structure, and the front surface of the dispenser casing (the front side wall of the slot) is inevidently exposed to the outside of the front panel.
  • an object of the invention is to solve at least one of the technical problems found in the prior art so that the refrigeration appliance may have a smoother appearance, and this may even be achieved at a lower cost.
  • the invention in one aspect relates to a refrigeration appliance.
  • the refrigeration appliance comprises: a door, the door comprising a door panel having an opening; and a dispenser provided in the door, the dispenser comprising a dispenser casing, the dispenser casing being connected with the door panel and defining an inner cavity which is corresponded to the opening, and at least a portion of the inner cavity being configured to receive an outside container, characterized in that the dispenser casing as a whole does not extend beyond the front surface of the door panel.
  • the dispenser casing does not extend beyond the portion of the front surface of the door panel; rather, it lies behind the door panel as a whole. In this way, no extra trimming frame is needed, and thus the number of assembled parts, material usage and maintenance cost of the door can be reduced.
  • the door may have an appearance with higher smoothness and evenness.
  • the dispenser casing comprises a cavity rim provided along the front end of the inner cavity, the cavity rim being connected with the back surface of the door panel.
  • the dispenser casing may form a stable connection with the door panel by means of the cavity rim, and meanwhile, the cavity rim is not exposed to the front surface of the door panel.

  • the sealing means forms a closed loop structure along the edge of the opening.
  • the sealing means is an adhesive tape.
  • the door panel comprises an extension extending backwardly from the edge of the opening.
  • the extension extended in a front-back direction helps to prevent releasing of foaming agent from the opening during a foaming process.
  • the extension comprises a flange which is bent backwardly from the edge of the opening. This will prevent the door panel from having a complex structure, and particularly benefits the manufacturing process so as to reduce manufacturing cost.
  • the extension is provided along the whole edge of the opening.
  • the extension which forms a closed loop further benefits quality control in a foaming process.
  • the extension lies at least substantially perpendicular to a plane in which the opening lies. This not only helps to prevent leakage of foaming agent during a foaming process, but also benefits the mating of the extension and the connection part, which renders manufacture easier.
  • the extension lies outside the inner cavity so that the extension may not exposed inside the inner cavity, which helps to avoid any negative influence of the extension to the appearance of the dispenser.
  • the dispenser casing comprises a connection part configured for connecting with the extension, the extension and the connection part forming a plug-in connection.
