Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a door 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a portion A in FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is an exploded view of FIG. 2.
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the present invention provides a refrigerator door 10. The door 10 is configured to be mounted on a refrigerator body of a refrigerator and includes a door body 20 and a handle 30.
The door body 20 constitutes a main portion of the door 10. The door 10 is mounted on the refrigerator body of the refrigerator.
The handle 30 is detachably mounted at an end of the door body 20, for example, a top end and/or a bottom end of the door body 20. An inner side of the handle 30 is provided with a lamp panel assembly 31. A plurality of light-transmitting holes 32 are formed in the handle 30, such that light emitted by the lamp panel assembly 31 irradiates outside the handle 30 through the light-transmitting holes 32. In this embodiment, the handle 30 is detachably mounted on the door body 20, such that mounting/demounting is very convenient. In a production process of the refrigerator, a variety of handles of different materials and different styles may be designed in advance, and a specific handle 30 is mounted on the door body 20 according to a requirement of a product. In other words, the same type of door bodies 20 can match a variety of handles 30, and doors 10 having a variety of handle styles can be acquired without improving the door bodies 20.
In addition, in this embodiment, because the plurality of light-transmitting holes 32 are formed in the handle 30, light emitted by the lamp panel assembly 31 partially irradiates outside the handle 30 through the light-transmitting holes 32. Therefore, a user can see the handle 30 accurately even in a dark environment, thereby opening the door 10 accurately. In addition, the plurality of light-transmitting holes 32 make the light emitted by the lamp panel assembly 31 irradiate more dispersedly. This appropriately reduces intensity of the light, such that under the condition that the basic requirement of illuminating the handle is met, the light does not bring too much damage to eyes of the user, and does not cause too serious light pollution in a room at night.
FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a handle 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, an accommodating cavity 33 is formed in the handle 30, wherein at least one transversal end of the accommodating cavity 33 is provided with an opening, such that the lamp panel assembly 31 can be inserted into the accommodating cavity 33 through the opening of the accommodating cavity 33. Because the user usually opens/closes the door 10 by using the handle 30, the handle 30 requires a dedicated protection apparatus to protect the lamp panel assembly 31 from being affected by user's frequent operations of opening/closing the door 10. In this embodiment, because the handle 30 is provided with the accommodating cavity 33 and the lamp panel assembly 31 is wrapped in the accommodating cavity 33, the lamp panel assembly 31 is protected from being affected by opening and closing of the door 10.
In addition, because one transversal end of the accommodating cavity 33 is provided with the opening, the lamp panel assembly 31 can be directly inserted into the accommodating cavity 33 from this transversal end of the handle 30. In the prior art, in some refrigerators, an illuminating apparatus is directly mounted in the door 10, and an illuminating component of the illuminating apparatus is exposed outside through the opening; or the illuminating apparatus is fixed to the door 10 in another manner. These disposing manners are characterized in that the illuminating component is difficult to demount or even cannot be demounted. Once the illuminating component becomes faulty, it is difficult to replace it. As a result, the door 10 loses the illuminating function.
Compared with the foregoing structure, the structure in this embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages. The demounting of the lamp panel assembly 31 is achieved by disposing the handle 30 having the accommodating cavity 33. Due to the handle 30 having the accommodating cavity 33, the user may take out the lamp panel assembly 31 from the accommodating cavity 33 fast and conveniently without damaging any other structures of the door 10. This facilitates replacement and maintenance of the lamp panel assembly 31.
FIG. 6 is an exploded view of a handle 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the handle 30 includes a handle body 34 and two end covers 35. The accommodating cavity 33 is formed in the handle body 34. Two transversal ends of the accommodating cavity 33 are provided with openings. The two end covers 35 are disposed at two transversal ends of the handle body 34 respectively to seal and cover the openings of the accommodating cavity 33.
In this embodiment, the two transversal ends of the handle body 34 are provided with the two end covers 35. The end covers 35 disposed at transversally lateral ends of the handle 30 limit not only displacement of the handle 30 in a transversal direction of the door body 20, but also movement of the lamp panel assembly 31 in the accommodating cavity 33. When the user replaces the lamp panel assembly 31, an entire mounting process can be implemented just by inserting another lamp panel assembly 31 into the accommodating cavity 33 and then mounting the end covers 35 on the handle 30. Demounting and mounting of the lamp panel assembly 31 can be implemented without involving more parts.
FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of a portion B in FIG. 6. FIG. 8 is a sectional view of a cross section of FIG. 5.
In some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, a light-homogenizing plate 36 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 33. The light-homogenizing plate 36 is disposed between the lamp panel assembly 31 and the light-transmitting holes 32, such that the light emitted by the lamp panel assembly 31 passes through the light-homogenizing plate 36, and then irradiates outside the handle 30 through the light-transmitting holes 32. This improves a light-emitting effect of the lamp panel assembly 31.
For example, the light-homogenizing plate 36 takes the shape of a translucent plate and is configured to transform a line light source or a point light source emitted by the lamp panel assembly 31 to a surface light source. The light emitted by the lamp panel assembly 31 becomes softer under the action of a light-homogenizing function of the light-homogenizing plate 36 and the dispersing function of the light-transmitting holes 32. This protects the eyes of the user from being irritated by bright light, such that the eyes of the user feel more comfortable.
In some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the handle body 34 includes a light-emitting portion 340, a U-shaped mounting portion 342, and a connecting plate portion 344.
The plurality of light-transmitting holes 32 are formed outwards in the front surface of the light-emitting portion 340. A top surface or a bottom surface of the light-emitting portion 340 abuts against a vertical end surface (namely, an upper end surface or a lower end surface) of the door body 20 to form an abutting surface. When the handle 30 is disposed at the top end of the door body 20, a bottom end of the light-emitting portion 340 abuts against the upper end surface of the door body 20. When the handle 30 is disposed at the bottom end of the door body 20, the bottom end of the light-emitting portion 340 abuts against the lower end surface of the door body 20. The accommodating cavity 33 is formed in the light-emitting portion 340.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of light-transmitting holes 32 are formed outwards in the front surface of the light-emitting portion 340, such that the user can directly hold a bright portion, namely, the handle 30, in a dark environment. Based on this, the light-transmitting holes 32 may alternatively be disposed at a central position of the light-emitting portion 340 or at a position near the central position and an open position of the door 10. This is because the position is a position that is generally held by the user habitually.
An opening of the U-shaped mounting portion 342 faces away from the door body 20, such that the U-shaped mounting portion 342 is embedded into the door body 20; and a front edge of the opening is connected to a back edge of the abutting surface. For example, in FIG. 4 and FIG. 8, the handle 30 is disposed at the bottom end of the door body 20. In this case, the opening of the U-shaped mounting portion 342 faces downwards. The bottom end of the door body 20 is sunken inwards to accommodate the U-shaped mounting portion 342.
A U-shaped groove that is sunken in the door body 20 from one transversal end (left end) to another transversal end (right end) and that extends transversally is formed in an end of the U-shaped mounting portion 342 embedded into the door body 20. Because the U-shaped mounting portion 342 runs through two sides of an end surface of the door body 20, the user can open the door by holding any position at the end of the door body 20.
The connecting plate portion 344 is bent backwards and extends out from a back edge of the opening of the U-shaped mounting portion 342, so as to be tightly connected to the door body 20. For example, the connecting plate portion 344 is provided with a screw hole 38 and is connected to the door body 20 through a screw, such that displacement of the handle body 34 is limited to ensure that the handle body 34 is stably fixed to the door body 20. Certainly, the connecting plate portion 344 may also be firmly connected to the handle body 34 in another manner, for example, by using a clamping structure.
It should be understood that the screw hole and the connecting plate portion 344 are bent backwards and extend out from the back edge of the opening of the U-shaped mounting portion 342, so as to be tightly connected to the door body 20. The screw hole is not necessarily disposed on the connecting plate portion 344, and may alternatively be disposed at another portion of the handle body 34.
In some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, a strip-shaped opening 37 communicated with the outside is formed in the abutting surface of the light-emitting portion 340, such that the light-homogenizing plate 36 can extend into the accommodating cavity 23 through the strip-shaped opening 37. Because the shape of the lamp panel assembly 31 is similar to that of the light-homogenizing plate 36, it is highly possible that an installation person confuses the lamp panel assembly 31 with the light-homogenizing plate 36 during demounting and mounting, resulting in failure of correct mounting. In this embodiment, the light-homogenizing plate 36 and the lamp panel assembly 31 are inserted into the accommodating cavity 33 from different positions, such that the installation person can correctly mount related components of the refrigerator handle 30 conveniently, to make the related components operate normally.
In some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the lamp panel assembly 31 includes a lampshade 310 and a lamp panel 312. The lampshade 310 is provided with a mounting hole 314. The lamp panel 312 is inserted into the mounting hole 314 of the lampshade 310. Lamp light emitted by the lamp panel 312 transmits through the lampshade 310.
The plurality of light-transmitting holes 32 are distributed on an outer wall of the handle 30 and are arranged in a strip-shaped matrix. In a strip-shaped rectangular region, the light-transmitting holes 32 correspond to the lamp panel assembly 31, that is, the lamp panel assembly 31 is strip-shaped.
Because the lamp panel assembly 31 is strip-shaped, the lampshade 310 and the lamp panel 312 inserted into the lampshade 310 through the mounting hole 314 are also strip-shaped.
Because the lamp panel 312 is strip-shaped and relatively flexible, damage to the lamp panel 312 is caused easily when the lamp panel 312 is directly inserted into the accommodating cavity 33. Therefore, the lampshade 310 is disposed to protect the lamp panel 312, thereby protecting the lamp panel 312 from being damaged during mounting.
Further, an outer contour of the lampshade 310 is slightly greater than that of the light-homogenizing plate 36. A cross section of the lampshade 310 takes the shape of an irregular polygon. Through an opening matched with the lamp panel assembly 31 in the accommodating cavity 33, the lamp panel assembly 31 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 33 in a unique posture, such that the installation person can distinguish between the lamp panel assembly 31 and the light-homogenizing plate 36 conveniently, and mount the two parts at correct positions.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the handle 30 is made of aluminum alloy or plastic.
When the handle 30 is made of aluminum alloy, the handle 30 is slighter and more corrosion-resistant than a handle 30 made of common metal. Cost of the handle 30 made of aluminum alloy are low. The same type of components can be mass-produced with a processing technology. Therefore, the handle 30 has relatively high cost performance.
When the handle 30 is made of plastic, the handle 30 is integrally formed according to an injection molding technology, and coats the door body 20. The plastic handle 30 has the following advantages.
Higher safety: because metal conducts electricity, but plastic is insulated, the lamp panel assembly 31 in the handle 30 made of plastic does not leak electricity. This greatly improves the safety. Lighter weight: plastic is lighter than metal having the same volume as the plastic, so the handle 30 made of plastic is lighter and easier to transport. The handle 30 made of plastic requires only one time of injection molding, but the handle made of metal requires a plurality of times of processing. Therefore, compared with the handle made of metal, the handle 30 made of plastic has a specific advantage in processing costs. Higher environmental friendliness and higher economic benefits: the handle 30 made of plastic can be recycled to save energy. Better light transmittance: generally, plastic products are transparent or translucent, and for the handle 30 made of plastic, the light emitted by the lamp panel assembly 31 can irradiate outside the handle 30 without forming the light-transmitting holes 32 in a surface of the handle body 34.
In some embodiments of the present invention, specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a contour of a transversal end surface of the handle 30 is a parallelogram, wherein a front side and a back side of the parallelogram both extend vertically, and an upper side and a lower side of the parallelogram both tilt from back to front gradually towards a vertical center of the door body. In this embodiment, the refrigerator is a side-by-side refrigerator having four doors 10 that are disposed vertically. The vertical end surface (namely, the upper end surface or the lower end surface) of the door 10 is provided with the handle 30.
With this design, a lower surface of a handle 30 of an upper door 10 of the refrigerator and an upper surface of a handle 30 of a lower door 10 of the refrigerator form an approximately V-shaped space, such that the user can extend a hand into the handle 30, and quickly open the door 10 by using the handle 30.
According to another aspect, the present invention provides a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a refrigerator body and the refrigerator door 10 according to any one of the foregoing embodiments. The door 10 is movably mounted on a front side of the refrigerator body to be used for opening or closing the refrigerator body.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the refrigerator may be a side-by-side refrigerator having a left door and a right door. However, the quantity and a mounting manner of doors included by the refrigerator are not limited in the present invention. In other words, the refrigerator may alternatively be a single-door refrigerator, or a refrigerator having a multi-door structure, a sliding-door structure, or another structure.
Thus, a person skilled in the art should be aware that although a plurality of exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail in this description, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principle of the present invention can still be determined or deduced directly according to the content disclosed in the present invention, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention shall be understood and considered as covering all such other variations or modifications.
