In the illustrated embodiment, thereinforcement member 49 is welded vertically to the supportingbars 46 at positions in the vicinity of the first supportingportion 41. Moreover, thereinforcement member 49 is also formed with a plurality ofopenings 49 a so that the foaming liquid can flow therethrough. - Next, a process for assembling the door for a refrigerator according to the present invention will be described.
- First, an end of each of the supporting
bars 46 is fixedly welded to one side of the second supportingportion 45. Then, thereinforcement member 49, which vertically connects the plurality of supportingbars 46 fixed to the second supportingportion 45, is fixedly welded to the supportingbars 46 at proper positions. In the illustrated embodiment, thereinforcement member 49 is fixed to the supportingbars 46 by means of welding at positions on a side opposite to the second supporting portion. Accordingly, the supportingbars 46 are connected to one another by the second supportingportion 45 and thereinforcement member 49. - In such a state mentioned above, the front surface of the
fastening bracket 47 of each of the supportingbars 46 comes into close contact with the rear surface of the fixingsection 43 of the first supportingportion 41. At this time, thefastening hole 44 a of the fixingsection 43 and thefastening hole 47 a of thefastening bracket 47 are located to correspond to each other. Thefastening hook 48 of the supportingbar 46 penetrates through thefastening slot 44 b of the fixingsection 43. - The catching
protrusion 48 a of thefastening hook 48, which has penetrated through thefastening slot 44 b, is caught by the catchingstep 44 c of the fixingsection 43. Then, the screw S is caused to penetrate through the fastening holes 47 a of thefastening bracket 47 and to be fastened to thefastening hole 44 a of the fixingsection 43 so that the first supportingportion 41 and the supportingbar 46 are fixed to each other. When the inner frame is completely assembled through the above processes, the door is assembled as a whole. - First, to assemble the
door 30, thefront portion 32 of theouter door 31 is placed on a floor, and theflange 34 a of thesecond side portion 34 of theouter door 31 is inserted in theinsertion groove 37 a of thedoor bracket 37 so that thedoor bracket 37 is fixed to thesecond side portion 34. Then, the decoration caps are fixed to the upper and lower ends of theouter door 31 and thedoor bracket 37. - In this state, the
inner frame 40 is installed in the interior of thedoor 30, i.e., the space defined by theouter door 31, the decoration caps and thedoor bracket 37. To this end, the first supportingportion 41 of theinner frame 40 comes into close contact with the inner surface of thefirst side portion 33 of theouter door 31. - Further, the second supporting
portion 45 of theinner frame 40 comes into close contact with the inner surface of thedoor bracket 37. At this time, the front surface of the second supportingportion 45 is seated on theseating step 37 c of thedoor bracket 37, and the upper and lower ends of the second supportingportion 45 are supported by the pair of the supportingprotrusions 37 d of thedoor bracket 37, so that theinner frame 40 is firmly supported. - When the
inner frame 40 is completely installed as described above, theflange 33 a of thefirst side portion 33 and theflange 37 b of thedoor liner 35 come into close contact with and are fixed to the inner surface of thedoor liner 35. Then, the foaming liquid is injected into the interior of thedoor 30 via an injection port (not shown). - The foaming liquid injected into the interior the
door 30 is solidified after lapse of a predetermined period of time to form an insulation layer. Accordingly, with the solidification of the foaming liquid, theinner frame 40 is completely fixed in place within the interior of thedoor 30. Thus, the process of assembling thedoor 30 is completed. - However, since the foaming liquid is contracted during the solidification, external forces that act toward the interior of the door are exerted on the respective surfaces defining the
door 30. According to the present invention, since the both side surfaces of the door are securely supported by theinner frame 40, deformation of the both side surfaces of thedoor 30 can be prevented. - The deformation of the
door 30 caused by changes in the volume of the foaming liquid is significantly generated at thedoor bracket 37 made of synthetic resin. According to the present invention, since thedoor bracket 37 is supported in the state where it is in close contact with the second supportingportion 45 of theinner frame 40, the door can be supported without deformation due to the external forces generated by the contraction of the foaming liquid. - Further, since the inner surface of the
first side portion 33 of thedoor 30 is firmly supported by the first supportingportion 41 made of synthetic resin, thefirst side portion 33 of the door can also sufficiently resist against the deformation caused by the contraction of the foaming liquid. - According to the present invention described above, it can be understood that the basic technical spirit of the present invention is to install the inner frame, which supports the both side surfaces of the door for the refrigerator, within the interior of the door.
- With the inner frame of the door for a refrigerator according to the present invention, it is expected to obtain the following advantageous effects.
- First, during solidification of a foaming liquid that has been foamed in the interior of the door for the refrigerator, it is possible to prevent damage to an external appearance of the door caused by decrease in the volume of the foaming liquid.
- Since the deformation of side surfaces of the door is prevented, a side surface of the door is in close contact with a side surface of another door, thereby preventing leakage of cold air within a storage space of the refrigerator.
- It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made thereto without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be construed as being defined by the appended claims.
