低压储藏单元15位于冷藏室12的底部,被支撑在冷藏室12的底壁上。低压储藏单元15的相邻位置可设有一个湿度较高、适于保存蔬菜等食品的保鲜容器44;低压储藏单元15与保鲜容器44并列设置于冷藏室12的底部。
低压储藏单元15可独立于箱体2地构造后组装在箱体2内。图2为本公开一些实施例提供的冰箱的低压储藏单元的分解示意图;图3为本公开一些实施例提供的冰箱的壳体的立体图;图4为本公开一些实施例提供的冰箱的壳体的另一个角度的立体图。参照图2-图4,在本公开一些实施例中,低压储藏单元15具有大致为扁平的长方体状,低压储藏单元15的宽度与保鲜容器 44的宽度之和稍小于冷藏室12的宽度,从而有效分配冷藏室12的底部空间,使得保鲜容器44和低压储藏单元15均可插入冷藏室12内或从冷藏室12内拉出。
低压储藏单元15包括固定在冷藏室12内的壳体4以及连接于壳体4并可推入或退出冷藏室12的门体5。
在本公开的一些实施例中,壳体4具有箱形结构,它限定具有食物取放口14a的扁平低压储藏室14。本实施例中,取放口14a位于面向使用者的壳体4的前端。
壳体4的箱壁外侧设有网格状的加强筋40,以增加壳体4的箱壁强度,避免壳体4于抽真空后因内外气压差所引起变形。
壳体4包括相连接形成低压储藏室14的上壳体41和下壳体42,上壳体41与下壳体42通过超声波焊接为一体;具体的,下壳体42包括底壁42a及依次连接设于底壁42a边沿处的第一下侧壁42c、下后壁42b、第二下侧壁42d、及位于下壳体42的前端部并形成有取放口14a的前端壁42e;其中下壳体的底壁42a即为低压储藏单元15的底壁。本实施例中,前端壁42e可具有大致垂直于水平面、用以与门体5对接的平整的对接面43。
上壳体41包括顶壁41a及依次连接设于顶壁41a边沿处的上后壁41b、第一上侧壁41c、第二上侧壁41d;上壳体41的第一上侧壁41c和第二上侧壁41d的下壁面与顶壁41a的距离由后向前均呈线性减小,并于顶壁41a的前端边沿处减小为0。即第一上侧壁41c与第二上侧壁41d于垂直于顶面的平面上的投影为三角形。
其中,上后壁41b与下后壁42b相配合,第一下侧壁42c与第一上侧壁41c相配合,第二下侧壁42d与第二上侧壁41d相配合;顶壁41a的前端部与下壳体42的前端壁42e相配合,通过超声波焊接将以上相对接位置焊接固定,以将上壳体41和下壳体42固定连接,以形成低压储藏室14。以上超声波焊接有效提高了上壳体41与下壳体42的连接强度,并确保了壳体4整体的气密性。另外,壳体4的取放口14a形成于下壳体42的前端壁42e上,使壳体4的取放口14a具有一体性,有效保障壳体4的气密性。再者,第一上侧壁41c和第二上侧壁41d的下壁面与顶壁41a的距离由后向前均呈线性减小,并于顶壁41a的前端边沿处减小为0的设置,减少了上壳体41与下壳体42配合的对接面的数量,提高壳体4的整体气密性,尤其是壳体4于取放口14a处的气密性。另一方面,壳体4设置为上壳体41与下壳体42的分体结构, 方便加工网格状的加强筋40。
门体5可设置环形的密封元件16,以使门体5处于关闭位置时壳体4与门体5之间形成气密性接合,防止气体从壳体4和门体5之间的接合处进入低压储藏室14。密封元件16也可以设置在壳体4的前端,例如连接在前端壁42e上。
当低压储藏室14被门体5关闭且抽气装置启动时,位于低压储藏室14内的气体被抽离,低压储藏室14处于低压状态。根据本公开一个优选的实施例,在抽空程序结束时,低压储藏室14内的压强介于一个标准大气压和绝对真空之间。由于低压储藏室14内的气压低于标准大气压,本领域技术人员也俗称其“真空室”。
门体5为抽屉式门,门体5可被推向壳体4以关闭低压储藏室14的取放口14a,或者拉出以打开低压储藏室14。门体5的后侧连接托盘状的置物容器54用以放置物品。用户通过将置物容器54推入或拉出低压储藏室14来获得位于低压储藏单元15内的物品或将物品存放在低压储藏单元15内。门体5和置物容器54一起构成了可推入和拉出壳体4内的抽屉单元。
置物容器54和壳体4之间可设置可伸缩的导轨单元17,从而门体5以及置物容器54可流畅地从壳体4中拉出或推入壳体4内。
低压储藏单元15包括一对用以将处于关闭位置的门体5和壳体4锁紧的锁紧机构。如图2-图11所示,每个锁紧机构包括设置在壳体4上的第一配合部6及围绕旋转轴X可旋转地设于门体5的两端用于与相应侧的第一配合部6配合实现门体5的锁定与解锁的第二配合部7。通过第二配合部7和第一配合部6的结合,门体5被锁定在关闭位置,且壳体4和门体5之间的密封元件16受锁紧机构产生的锁紧力挤压而充分变形,进而门体5和壳体4之间的气密性提高。
壳体4靠近取放口14a处的第一下侧壁42c和第二下侧壁42d上均设有锁扣容纳部61及位于锁扣容纳部61内的第一配合部6;壳体4上设有平行于壳体4的底壁42a的第一围板60a、与第一围板60a远离取放口14a一端的后端部相连且向前向下延伸至壳体4的最前端的第二围板60b。第一围板60a与第二围板60b连接形成锁扣容纳部61。锁扣容纳部61于壳体4的最前端形成有通过口64,通过口64用于插入或抽出第二配合部7。本实施例中,第一围板60a和第二围板60b远离壳体4箱壁的端面与加强筋40上远离壳体4箱壁的端面共端面。第一配合部6上远离壳体4箱壁的端面与加强筋40上远离壳体 4箱壁的端面共端面,以上设置能够确保不增加低压储藏单元15的占用空间,以充分利用空间。
第一配合部6包括锁定部62;锁扣容纳部61内,锁定部62固定于第一围板60a上;锁定部62包括垂直于第一围板60a的锁定壁62a和倾斜设置的导向壁62b;导向壁62b的一端与锁定壁62a远离第一围板60a的端部相连接,另一端与第一围板60a靠近取放口14a的端部相连接。
壳体4至少其中一侧的锁扣容纳部61的上部设有与抽气装置电性连接且用于与第二配合部7配合检测门体5的锁定与解锁状态的位置检测装置。位置检测装置包括固定安装于壳体上的行程开关63、可滑动连接于壳体上的行程推杆63a;行程开关63具有触发部;行程推杆63a的一端与触发部配合,另一端与第二配合部7配合;第二配合部7沿锁定壁62a滑移时,推动行程推杆63a移动,进而触发行程开关63。第一围板60a上设有与导向壁62b分居于锁定壁62a的两侧的开口65;开口65与锁定壁62a相邻设置。行程开关63的行程推杆63a通过开口65伸入锁扣容纳部61内,并位于锁定壁62a的相邻位置。

如图2、图5-图11所示,门体5上连接有装饰盖8。门体5的两相对端设有连接件83,第二配合部7可旋转地设于连接件83上。第二配合部7绕其旋转轴X进行旋转,并带动与之固定的把手81旋转。
把手81的两端分别固定一个第二配合部7。在一些实施例中,第二配合部7固定于把手81的相应末端后,通过固定装置例如螺钉而将其不可相对把手81移动地固定在把手81上,从而当把手81旋转移动时,第二配合部7也围绕旋转轴X旋转。
在本公开一些实施例中,第二配合部7包括锁定板,锁定板可绕旋转轴X转动,旋转轴X的轴线水平方向设置并与把手81具有设定距离,锁定板面向壳体4侧壁的一侧设有凸块72,锁定板在把手81的驱动下绕旋转轴X转动时,凸块72沿导向壁62b滑移至锁定壁62a后侧实现门体5与壳体4的锁定。
锁定板呈平板状,其包括依次首尾相接的第一板条71a、第二板条71b和第三板条71c,第一板条71a与第二板条71b连接处延伸形成与第一板条71a位于第三板条71c的同一侧且与第一板条71a之间呈锐角的第四板条71d。
第二板条71b的中间位置可旋转地固定于门体5端部的连接件83上;凸块72设于第二板条71b与第三板条71c的连接处。第四板条71d远离第三板条71c的端部固定于把手81的相应末端。当把手81旋转移动时,把手81通过第四板条71d带动第二配合部7整体绕其位于第二板条71b中间位置的旋转轴X旋转。
门体5的前侧可设有用以关闭或打开设置在门体5上、用于连通低压储藏单元15的内外两侧的充气通道18(如图5所示)、用于关闭或打开充气通道18的泄压装置。泄压装置包括与第二配合部7联动的杆体20、固定连接于杆体20上旋转板59及固定于旋转板59上用于关闭或打开充气通道18的泄压件19。其中杆体20的两端分别固定于对应侧的锁定板上,杆体20与凸块72分别位于旋转轴X的两侧;旋转板59的旋转轴线与第二配合部的旋转轴X重合;第二配合部7在把手81的驱动下绕旋转轴X转动时,带动杆体20以及旋转板59同轴转动,泄压件19关闭充气通道18。其中,杆体20的两端部贯穿装饰盖8,第二配合部7的第一板条71a与杆体20的相应一端不可相对移动地固定。装饰盖8两侧设有与杆体20旋转运动轨迹相一致的避让孔39,且门体5与装饰盖8之间存在供杆体20旋转运动的间隙。
结合图2并参照图5,门体5具有从其前表面5a向后凹陷、用以收容泄压装置的至少一部分的收容腔52。充气通道18设于收容腔52远离装饰盖8的腔壁上,并连通低压储藏室14和收容腔52;收容腔52内设有以旋转轴X为中心轴的凸柱53;旋转板59一端与杆体20固定、另一端可绕凸柱53旋转地固定于收容腔52内;泄压件19设于旋转板59的内侧;旋转板59与收容腔52远离装饰盖8的腔壁之间设有与泄压件19分居于旋转板59相对两侧的扭簧。门体5与壳体4锁紧时,第一配合部6与第二配合部7锁定,扭簧压紧旋转板59,使泄压件19压紧充气通道18。门体5处于关闭位置但尚未被锁紧时,释放施加的外力后,在扭簧的作用下,旋转板59向内向下压,旋转 板59带动第二配合部7和把手81向内向下旋转;如此在用户关闭门体时,能够减小用户施力,使关闭操作简易化;另外,扭簧能够限制把手81向上向前旋转的极限位置,这可防止把手81继续旋转而导致把手81的上端向门体5前表面5a靠近时用户的手被把手81和门体5挤压。
根据本公开一个实施例,旋转板59的端部设有用于安装杆体20且截面呈多边形的固定通道,杆体20截面形状与固定通道截面形状相一致,截面多边形的设置使杆体20与旋转板59不可产生相对旋转运动。
如图6-图8所示,门体5处于关闭位置但尚未被锁紧时的状态,此时把手81处于第一位置。当用户向下向后按压把手81时,把手81围绕着第二配合部7的旋转轴X向内旋转,同时把手81带动第二配合部7和杆体20向内旋转,第二配合部7的凸块72逐渐靠近锁定部62远离取放口14a的一侧,同时逐渐靠近行程开关63的行程推杆63a;杆体20带动旋转板59向内旋转,旋转板59带动泄压件19逐渐靠近充气通道18。
如图9-图10所示,门体5和壳体4处于锁紧状态,此时把手81处于第二位置。当把手81旋转至第二位置时,第二配合部7旋转进入锁扣容纳部61,第二配合部7上的凸块72移动至锁定壁62a后侧的相邻位置,并推动行程推杆63a上移,触发行程开关63,行程开关63发送门关闭的控制信号至控制单元,控制单元根据控制信号控制抽气装置开始抽气;此时,泄压件19与充气通道18紧密接触以封堵充气通道18,低压储藏室14形成封闭空间。以上第一配合部6、第二配合部7、与抽气装置电性连接的行程开关63的设置,能够及时监测门体5与壳体4的锁定状态,以于门体5与壳体4锁定时,及时发送抽真空信号给抽气装置,以确保低压储藏单元15的真空度,确保食物的保鲜效果。
如图11所示,门体5和壳体4处于解锁且分离的打开状态时,推动门体5进行关闭;作为一种关门方式,用户可以向上提起把手81并向壳体4推动,待门体5处于关闭位置但尚未被锁紧状态时,向下向后按压把手81即可完成锁定,同时泄压件19与充气通道18紧密接触以封堵充气通道18。作为另一种关门方式,用户可直接推动装饰盖8,在装饰盖8的带动下,第二配合部7平行移动至锁扣容纳部61,第二配合部7上的凸块72与锁定部62的导向壁62b相接触,在水平推力和导向壁62b的作用下,凸块72沿导向壁62b下移,并带动第二配合部7绕旋转轴X向下旋转;凸块72向下移动逐渐靠近导向壁62b与锁定壁62a的连接处;继续推动门体5向壳体4移动,凸块72移动至 锁定壁62a后侧的相邻位置,门体5与壳体4锁定;同时泄压件19与充气通道18紧密接触以封堵充气通道18。在本公开中,直接推动门体5前侧的装饰盖8进行推动关闭的关门方式,无需使用把手81,方便快捷,减少用户的将施力点放置于门把手81上的精力投入;同时在导向壁62b的作用下,锁定过程流畅稳定,避免撞击。
门体5和壳体4处于锁紧状态,当要打开门体5时,用户可握住把手81的下端向上向外抬,把手81围绕旋转轴X旋转,固定在连接件83上的第二配合部7向上旋转。在这个过程中,杆体20向上旋转并带动旋转板59绕旋转轴X向上旋转,泄压件19也解除了对充气通道18的封闭,外部气体通过充气通道18进入低压储藏室14而平衡内外压力。之后,用户可握住把手81向前拉,即可打开门体5。
以上第二配合部7和第一配合部6不增加低压储藏单元15占用空间的情况下,完成锁定,结构紧凑,配合稳定。
第二配合部7和第一配合部6在锁紧位置的结合给门体5和壳体4之间提供一个锁紧力,而使密封元件16充分变形,进而提高门体5和壳体4之间的气密性。
当把手81处于如图9和图10所示的位置时,充气通道18被泄压件19紧密关闭;当把手81处于如图6-图8所示的位置时,充气通道18已被打开,外部气体可通过充气通道18进入低压储藏室14进而释放低压储藏室14的低压状态。应当理解,在其他的实施例中,充气通道18和泄压件19也可以孤立于把手81地设置。例如在门体5上设有一个按钮,通过按压该按钮,充气通道18被打开,之后用户再操作把手81以打开门体5。
门体5靠近其下端面5b的区域从其前表面5a向后凹陷形成容纳把手81的容纳空间82;本实施例中,容纳空间82的下端延伸至门体5的下端面5b,且左右两端延伸至门体5的侧端面5c。门体5锁定状态时,把手81位于容纳空间82内,把手81的前表面与门体5位于容纳空间82上部的门体5的前表面5a相平齐,以减少低压储藏单元15的占用体积。特别优选地,处于第二位置的把手81完全容纳在门体5的容纳空间82内,不超出门体5的前表面。门体5处于关闭位置但尚未被锁紧时的状态,此时把手81处于第一位置,把手81移出容纳空间82,并位于门体5的前表面5a的前侧;把手81处于第一位置发生于用户打开低压储藏单元15时,此时冰箱1的箱门打开,不影响低压储藏单元15所占用冰箱1内部空间的设置。
在冰箱1的箱门处于关闭状态且低压储藏单元15的门体5处于关闭位置但把手81处于第二位置(退回位置)时,箱门的内侧与把手81保持一定的距离以免关闭箱门时对低压储藏单元15造成损坏。因此,通过将把手81设置于容纳空间82内,从而低压储藏单元15和冰箱1的箱门内侧之间的距离可以被减小,进而可增加冰箱1的空间利用率。
装饰盖8连接在门体5上以从门体5的正面遮蔽泄压装置。以此,杆体20整体地位于门体5内。
在被固定到门体5之后,把手81可旋转地连接于门体5上。当旋转把手81时,第二配合部7旋转、杆体20和旋转板59都围绕着旋转轴X进行旋转。
把手81可围绕着旋转轴X在第一位置和第二位置之间旋转。在第一位置,把手81与门体5的容纳空间82靠近壳体4的壁面之间形成的夹角最大,其下端与门体5的容纳空间82靠近壳体4的壁面之间形成最大的距离,因此第一位置也可称为伸出位置。在第二位置,把手81与门体5上的容纳空间82靠近壳体4的壁面之间形成的夹角最小,其下端与容纳空间82靠近壳体4的壁面之间形成最小的距离,因此第二位置也可称为退回位置。相应地,与把手81联动的第二配合部7及与第二配合部7联动的杆体20也被限制在第一极限位置和第二极限位置之间旋转,其中,当把手81处于第一位置时,第二配合部7和杆体20均处于第一极限位置(如图6和图8所示),当把手81处于第二位置,第二配合部7和杆体20均处于第二极限位置(如图9所示)。
图12为本公开一些实施例提供的冰箱的冷藏箱门完全关闭时的部分结构示意图;图13为本公开一些实施例提供的冰箱的冷藏箱门完全关闭时把手与翻转梁单元的相对位置示意图一;图14为本公开一些实施例提供的冰箱的冷藏箱门完全关闭时把手与翻转梁单元的相对位置示意图二;图15为本公开一些实施例提供的冰箱的的冷藏箱门完全关闭时翻转梁单元与导向槽的相对位置示意图;图16为本公开一些实施例提供的冰箱的导向槽与内胆的装配结构示意图;图17为本公开一些实施例提供的冰箱的冷藏箱门关闭过程中的部分结构示意图;图18为本公开一些实施例提供的冰箱的冷藏箱门关闭过程中把手与翻转梁单元相接触时的示意图一;图19为本公开一些实施例提供的冰箱的冷藏箱门关闭过程中把手与翻转梁单元相接触时的示意图二;图20为本公开一些实施例提供的冰箱的的冷藏箱门关闭过程中翻转梁单元与导向槽的相对位置示意图;图21为本公开一些实施例提供的冰箱的翻转梁单元的分解结构示意图。
如图12-图21所示,在本公开一些实施例中冰箱冷藏箱门11的内衬面上设有翻转梁单元3,其旋转轴记为翻转轴M;翻转梁单元3包括平行于翻转轴M的自由端,其自由端绕翻转轴M旋转;翻转梁单元3位于低压储藏单元15的把手81的前方区域内;即平行于冰箱箱门平面的投影上,翻转梁单元3的投影与低压储藏单元15的投影交叉重叠。其中,如图12-图20所示,翻转梁单元3翻转过程中,垂直于冷藏箱门11方向上,其自由端进入储藏间内的最大位移记为W,门体与壳体处于关闭位置但并未锁紧状态,把手81处于第一位置,把手81最前端与内胆的前端面P之间的距离记为L;L<W;
以上设置,在低压储藏单元15未锁紧的状态时,能够利用冷藏箱门11关闭过程中翻转梁单元3绕其翻转轴M翻转时与把手81相互作用,以对把手81施加朝向低压储藏单元15的作用力,以对把手81上施加一个向低压储藏单元15移动的扭矩,使把手81向下向内旋转,把手81带动第二配合部旋转,以使第二配合部与第一配合部配合,实现门体与所述壳体的锁定;本公开限定了翻转梁组件与低压储藏单元15的相对位置及把手81的位置,能够在翻转梁单元3的翻转过程来使未锁紧的低压储藏单元15的把手81锁紧,有效避免用户在使用时,因时间紧张、空不出手来等原因忘记锁紧低压储藏单元15而导致的抽气装置(真空泵)频繁工作,从而有效降低噪音和耗电量。
具体的,如图21所示,翻转梁单元3包括整体式门转梁后盖9,门转梁后盖9通过第一门铰链31、第二门铰链32连接于冷藏箱门11上,且门转梁后盖9与两个门铰链之间分别采用扭簧弹性连接;其中,第一门铰链31位于第二门铰链32的上方。门转梁后盖9包括后侧板91和环绕后侧板91设置的前侧板92,前侧板92和后侧板91之间形成容纳腔90,容纳腔90内填充有保温件94;且门转梁后盖9的容纳腔90开口端设有端盖93。
门铰链和门转梁后盖9上均有穿扭簧力臂的通孔,利用扭簧将上下门铰链与门转梁后盖9连接。具体连接如下描述。
第一门铰链31和第二门铰链32均包括与冷藏箱门11固定连接的固定板33及与固定板33相连接的翻转柱30;门转梁后盖9上设有共中心轴线的第一安装孔91a和第二安装孔91b,且靠近第一安装孔91a的位置设有第一固定孔91c,靠近第二安装孔91b的位置设有第二固定孔91d;
将第一门铰链31的翻转柱30安装于门转梁后盖9上第一安装孔91a,第二门铰链32的翻转柱30安装于门转梁后盖9上第二安装孔91b内,以便门转梁后盖9能够绕门铰链的翻转柱30作旋转运动。其中,第一门铰链31的 翻转柱30和第二门铰链32的翻转柱30上均设有第三固定孔34;第一门铰链31与门转梁后盖9通过第一扭簧36连接,第二门铰链32与门转梁后盖9通过第二扭簧37连接;其中,第一扭簧36一端安装于第一固定孔91c内,另一端安装于第一门铰链31上的第三固定孔34内;第二扭簧37一端安装于第二固定孔91d内,另一端安装于第二门铰链32上的第三固定孔34内。门转梁后盖9绕门铰链的翻转柱30作旋转运动时,第一扭簧36和第二扭簧37储存弹性能或释放弹性能,以使门转梁后盖9稳定转动并及时复位。
冰箱的箱体顶壁上设有导向槽13a,翻转梁单元3可与导向槽13a滑动配合以实现翻转梁单元3在垂直于冷藏箱门11的状态和平行于冷藏箱门11的状态之间切换。
具体的,在一些实施例中,冰箱的箱体顶壁上安装有导向座13,导向槽13a开设于导向座13上。
在门转梁后盖9的顶部固设有导向件21,导向件21作为翻转梁单元3的转动部件与导向槽13a相配合以实现翻转梁单元3在垂直于冷藏箱门11的状态和平行于冷藏箱门11的状态之间切换。其中导向槽13a限定了垂直于冷藏箱门11方向上翻转梁单元3的自由端进入储藏间内的最大位移W;即导向槽13a的后槽壁上与内胆2b的前端面P的最大距离为垂直于冷藏箱门11方向上翻转梁单元3的自由端进入所述储藏间内的最大位移W。
在本公开一些实施例中,门转梁后盖9的顶侧板上设有导向孔92a;导向件21包括安装于导向孔92a内的导向块22;导向块22的顶面用于与导向槽13a的槽底接触并滑动配合,导向槽13a的槽底位于同一水平面上,导向块22滑动过程中受压于导向槽13a,即导向块22滑动过程中受压。进一步地,导向件21的高度沿冷藏箱门11的打开方向逐渐增大,即导向块22的顶面的高度沿冷藏箱门11的打开方向逐渐增大。
门转梁后盖9的后侧板91上设有第一限位块91e;导向件21包括位于导向块22底部的基座23,基座23安装于门转梁后盖9形成的容纳腔90内;其中基座23上设有第二限位块,并设有用于安装弹簧27的安装槽26;基座23上的安装槽26位置与门转梁后盖9的后侧板91上的第一限位块91e相对应;弹簧27一端与第一限位块91e固定,另一端与第二限位块固定。
第一门铰链31的翻转柱30上设有导向通孔35;基座23包括位于其底部的导向柱24,且导向柱24安装于第一门铰链31上的导向通孔35内;导向块22于导向槽13a内滑动过程中,导向块22受压于导向槽13a,导向件21受导 向槽13a施加的压力作用向下移动时,导向件21上的导向柱24沿第一门铰链31上的导向通孔35向下移动。导向块22移出导向槽13a后,施加于导向件21上的外力撤去,导向件21在弹簧27的作用下复位。导向件21受到导向槽13a压力作用时可向容纳腔90内部收缩,如此设计可确保冰箱箱门开启过程中比较顺畅,不会出现卡在导向槽13a中的意外情况。
在冷藏箱门11打开的状态下,翻转梁单元3由于扭簧扭力的作用,紧紧贴附于门铰链固定于冷藏箱门11内衬的一侧。
在外力作用下,冷藏箱门11逐渐闭合,达到一定角度后,翻转梁单元3最顶端的导向件21进入导向槽13a内,继续关门过程中,由于导向件21受导向槽13a壁的压力作用开始翻转,扭簧在径向上压缩,当翻转过45°,达到扭簧临界值。之后扭簧开始伸展,与导向槽13a壁的压力共同作用,使翻转梁单元3快速翻转到位,直至冷藏箱门11关闭,此时扭簧扭力被释放,重新达到松弛状态。冷藏箱门11关闭后,翻转梁单元3与冷藏箱门11上设置的封条接触,有效防止冷气由两对开门式的对缝之间外溢。
在低压储藏单元15未锁紧的状态时,冷藏箱门11关闭过程中翻转梁单元3按照以上方式翻转,由于未锁紧状态的把手81前端间隙L小于翻转梁单元3的宽度W,翻转梁单元3翻转过程中与把手81相互作用,以对把手81施加朝向低压储藏单元15的作用力,从而在把手81上施加一个向低压储藏单元15移动的扭矩,使把手81向下向内旋转移动的惯性,,以使第二配合部与第一配合部配合,实现门体与所述壳体的锁定;本公开限定了翻转梁组件与低压储藏单元15的相对位置及把手81的位置,能够在翻转梁单元3的翻转过程来使未锁紧的低压储藏单元15的把手81锁紧,有效避免用户在使用时,因时间紧张、空不出手来等原因忘记锁紧低压储藏单元15而导致的抽气装置(真空泵)频繁工作,从而有效降低噪音和耗电量。
以上所述,仅是本公开的较佳实施例而已,并非是对本发明作其它形式的限制,任何熟悉本专业的技术人员可能利用上述揭示的技术内容加以变更或改型为等同变化的等效实施例应用于其它领域,但是凡是未脱离本发明技术方案内容,依据本发明的技术实质对以上实施例所作的任何简单修改、等同变化与改型,仍属于本发明技术方案的保护范围。
