Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is located on the left and right sides of the front opening of the refrigerator body, and has two outer doors rotatably attached, and a part of each gasket provided on the outer periphery of the outer door. For example, the present invention relates to a refrigerator in which the inside of the main body is sealed by abutting a tongue piece or the like, that is, a refrigerator that does not have a dividing wall between both doors.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this type of refrigerator has two outer doors 3 and 4 that are located on the left and right sides of a front opening 2 of a main body 1 and can be opened and closed using hinges 5 and 6. It is pivoted.

A frame-shaped magnetic gasket 7.8 is provided on the inner outer periphery of the outer doors 3, 4 to be attracted to the opening edge of the main body 1.

On the opposite sides of this gasket 7.8 there are tongues 9, 1, respectively.
0 is integrally formed and protrudes toward the opposing gaskets 1-7 and 8, and when the doors 3 and 4 are opened and closed, the tongue pieces 9 and 10 are brought into contact with and separated from each other, thereby sealing the inside of the main body 1. There is.

However, especially in forced convection refrigerators, tongue pieces 9.10
Because the insulation effect was not sufficient, dew condensation was observed on the surfaces of the gaskets 7 and 8 and the tongues 9 and 10 when the outside atmosphere became humid.

Therefore, the present invention was developed with the aim of completely preventing such defects.

The present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 showing one embodiment thereof.

In Figures 3 and 4, the numbers 1 to 10 refer to Figures 1 and 2.
Shows the same thing as shown in the figure.

11.12 are the facing sides 3' and 4' of the outer door 3゜4.
A handle that is continuous from the top to the bottom of the
It is formed by extrusion molding synthetic resin.

In addition, the handle 11, 12 is provided with soft sealing members 13, 14 integrally molded during extrusion molding, and the tongue pieces 9, 10 are brought into contact with the weather sealing members 13, 14 that close the outer doors 3, 4.
A space P is formed between the two.

15 and 16 are closing members fixed to the upper and lower parts of the main body 1 to close the upper and lower openings of the space P.

In other words, the upper and lower closing members 15.16 prevent air from flowing through the space P, thereby preventing dust and dirt from adhering to the gasket 7.8.

As shown in FIG. 5, a sealing member 13' may be provided on only one handle 11 as the sealing member for the handles 11 and 12.

If the soft sealing member 13' is integrally formed with the handle 11 made of synthetic resin to form the space P in this manner, there is no need to attach the sealing member 13' to the handle 11 as a separate sealing member, thereby simplifying the assembly work.

As is clear from the above description, the refrigerator of the present invention has two outer doors rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the front opening of the main body, and each outer door provided on the outer periphery of the outer door. In the device for sealing the inside of the main body by abutting a part of the gasket, a sealing member that comes into contact when the outer door is closed is provided on the opposing edges of the outer doors, and the part of the gasket and the sealing member form a predetermined space. At the same time, closing members are provided at the upper and lower parts of the main body to close the upper and lower ends of the predetermined space when the outer door is closed, so there is almost no air convection in the predetermined space, so there is no risk of damage to the gasket. Frosting is prevented, and
The closing member and sealing member can also prevent dirt and dust from adhering to the gasket.
