detailed description

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

As shown in Fig. 1, the refrigerator of the present invention includes a casing (not shown), a door body that closes the casing, and a sealed casing 10 that is disposed on the door. In this embodiment, the refrigerator is a door middle door refrigerator, and the door body The outer door body 20 that closes the box body and the inner door body 30 disposed between the box body and the outer door body 20 are disposed on the inner door body 30.

A fastening mechanism is disposed between the outer door body 20 and the inner door body 30 to engage the outer door body 20 and the inner door body 30. In this embodiment, the fastening mechanism includes a card block 21 disposed on the outer door body 20 and a card slot 31 disposed on the inner door body 30 to receive the card block 21, thereby engaging the card slot 21 and the card slot 31. In cooperation, the outer door body 20 and the inner door body 30 can be tightly engaged. Of course, in other embodiments, the card block 21 can also be disposed on the inner door body 30, and the card slot 31 is correspondingly disposed on the outer door body 20; or, the card block 21 and the card slot 31 are disposed to be mutually adsorbed magnetic structures. For example, the magnet 21; or the card block 21 and the card slot 31 may be other interfitting structures, which are not illustrated herein.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the sealed casing 10 includes a sealed casing 11 and a sealing cover 12 covering the sealed casing 11, and when the sealed casing 10 is placed on the inner door body 30, the sealing cover 12 is placed toward the casing. . A locking member 13 for snap-fitting with the inner door body 30 is disposed on the sealing case 10 on both sides of the sealing housing 11. The fastening member 13 is a prior art and will not be described herein.

As shown in FIG. 2, the side (or the opposite side) of the seal housing 11 opposite to the seal cover 12 is provided with a transparent viewing angle area 14 and an auxiliary door 15 on the side of the viewing angle area 14. The viewing area 14 is transparent for the user to view the contents of the sealed box 10. A handle 151 is provided on the auxiliary door 15, so that the user can open the auxiliary door 15 through the handle 151 to take the object. In the present embodiment, the handle 151 is a circular hole that is opened in the auxiliary door 15.

Since the sealing cover 12 is placed toward the casing, the viewing angle area 14 and the auxiliary door 15 are placed toward the outer door body 20. Further, when the user needs to take objects from the sealed casing 10, the outer door body 20 can be opened separately. Then, the desired item is found through the viewing area 14 and then taken through the auxiliary door 15. As can be seen, the refrigerator of the present invention can take the object from the sealed case 10 without opening the inner door body 30.

A plurality of vent holes 16 are formed in the top wall 111 of the sealed casing 11, so that frosting of the articles in the sealed casing 10 can be prevented by the vent holes 16.

As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, one side of the sealing case 10 is provided with a locking mechanism to close the sealing housing 11 and the sealing cover 12, and a damper is disposed on a side of the sealing case 10 opposite to the locking mechanism (not shown). The damper is used to control the opening angle of the sealing cover 12.

The locking mechanism includes a snap portion 41 disposed on one of the sealing cover 12 and the sealing housing 11 and a fastening portion 42 correspondingly disposed on one of the sealing housing 11 and the sealing cover 12. In this embodiment, the engaging portion 41 is disposed on the sealing cover 12, and the engaging portion 42 is correspondingly disposed on the sealing housing 11; In other embodiments, the engaging portion 41 may be disposed on the sealing case 11 , and the engaging portion 42 is correspondingly disposed on the sealing cover 12 .

The latching portion 41 includes a latching block 411 protruding outwardly from the inner side wall of the sealing cover 12 and a latching joint 412 protruding outwardly from the latching block 411. The two ends of the latching connector 412 are respectively disposed toward the latching block 411. A protruding stop block 413. In the embodiment, the engaging block 411 is disposed in a hollow rectangular shape, so that the material can be saved while reinforcing the strength of the engaging portion 41; the card joint 412 is arranged in a Y shape, so that when the sealing cover 12 is closed, the card joint 412 is closed. The fastening portion 42 can be quickly and accurately entered and engaged with the fastening portion 42.

The latching portion 42 includes a recess 421 formed in the latching direction of the latching portion 41 and the latching portion 42 and a retaining piece 422 received in the recess 421 to limit the displacement of the limiting block 413. When the engaging portion 41 is engaged with the engaging portion 42, the engaging portion 412 preferentially enters the recess 421, and the engaging portion 41 is completely inserted into the recess 421, and the limiting block 413 abuts against the blocking piece 422, and simultaneously sends out Acoustic feedback to inform the user that the sealed box 10 has been closed tightly. If the user does not hear the audible feedback when the sealed case 10 is closed, the sealed case 10 is not completely closed and needs to be closed again. Therefore, the locking mechanism not only functions to close the sealed box 10, but also serves as a reminder. The role. Of course, the locking mechanism can also be voice-activated or touch-controlled or light-controlled.

The sealing housing 11 is pivotally connected to the sealing cover 12, and the damper is disposed on one side of the pivot to drive the sealing cover 12 to open and close. When the sealing cover 12 is opened, the damper can control the sealing cover 12 to bounce at a constant speed, and the bounce angle does not exceed 45°, so that the user can pick up and place the articles with one hand.

A sealing strip 17 is disposed in the sealing housing 11 near the sealing cover 12 for sealing the gap between the sealing housing 11 and the sealing cover 12 when the sealing housing 11 and the sealing cover 12 are closed, thereby improving the sealing. The sealing property of the cartridge 10 can effectively prevent the contents of the cartridge from being odorous to the contents of the refrigerator.

4 and FIG. 1, the sealing case 10 can be opened by the sealing cover 12, and the sealing cover 12 is placed toward the side of the case, so that the user can open the inner door body 30 and then open the sealing cover 12 again. Take things. As can be seen, the refrigerator of the present invention can take the object from the sealed box 10 after opening the inner door body 30. Further, the refrigerator of the present invention can take the object from the sealed casing 10 through the auxiliary door 15 without opening the inner door body 30, or can open the sealing door 10 from the sealed casing 10 after opening the inner door body 30. Take the inside to achieve the simultaneous extraction of the inside and outside.

In summary, the refrigerator of the present invention is provided with the sealed casing 10, and on the other hand, by providing a locking mechanism on one side of the sealed casing 10 to close the sealed casing 11 and the sealing cover 12, so that the sealed casing 10 is not only sealed. Preferably, the contents of the box and the contents of the refrigerator are not easily odorous, and the sealed box is made The stability of 10 is strong, and the contents of the box are not easy to fall out; on the other hand, by providing a damper on the side of the sealing case 10 opposite to the locking mechanism, the sealing cover 12 can be controlled to be bounced at a constant speed by the damper, and the volute The opening angle does not exceed 45°, so that the one-hand pick-and-place item can be realized; on the other hand, the auxiliary door 15 is provided on the side opposite to the sealing cover 12 on the sealed casing 11, so that the user can take the object from the sealing cover 12 The object can also be taken from the auxiliary door 15 to realize the simultaneous extraction of the inside and outside.

The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or substituted. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
