As shown in fig. 1 to 5, a side-by-side combination locker according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a locker body and a side-by-side combination locker body; wherein the cabinet is provided with one of a guide groove 100 and a guide shaft 102; the side-by-side door body is hinged to the cabinet body, the side-by-side door body is provided with the other one of the guide groove 100 and the guide shaft 102, the side-by-side door body is provided with a side door seal pair, and the side-by-side door body is suitable for being switched between an open position and a closed position; the guide shaft 102 is inserted into the guide groove 100, and from the open position to the closed position, the guide shaft 102 is adapted to slide along the guide groove 100 to drive the split door bodies to move relatively, so that the side door sealing pairs abut against each other.

According to the side-by-side door locker disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, one of the guide groove 100 and the guide shaft 102 is arranged on the locker body, and the other of the guide groove 100 and the guide shaft 102 is arranged on the side-by-side door locker, when the side-by-side door locker is switched from the opening position to the closing position, the guide shaft 102 can slide along the guide groove 100 to enable the side-by-side door locker to move in a relatively approaching direction, and the side door sealing pair on the side-by-side door locker can be mutually abutted and pressed through the relative movement of the side-by-side door locker, so that the sealing effect of the side-by-side door locker can be improved. Through set up the side door seal on the side by side door body, can save the step of sealing the welding with main door seal with the side door, reduce the installation degree of difficulty of side door seal, improve the installation effectiveness of side door seal. On this basis, owing to adopted the sealed mode that the side door sealed the pair, saved and set up the upset roof beam, and then solved the problem that the switch door noise is big, the design and the manufacturing cost of mould are high, shortened the cycle of product development, production, and then can replace the upset roof beam in batches through above-mentioned mode, optimized the overall structure of the locker of opening the door.

In the side-by-side locker provided by the embodiment of the invention, one of the guide groove 100 and the guide shaft 102 is arranged on the locker body, and the guide shaft 102 is arranged on the locker body as an example, and the upper end and the lower end of the opening side of the locker body are respectively provided with the guide shaft 102. The guide shaft 102 may be connected to the cabinet by welding, bolting, or the like.

The side-by-side door is hinged to the cabinet, i.e., the side-by-side door is rotatable relative to the cabinet and is switchable between an open position and a closed position. Correspondingly, the side-by-side door body is provided with a guide groove 100 corresponding to the guide shaft 102 on the cabinet body, and the guide shaft 102 is inserted into the guide groove 100. And the side door sealing pair is also arranged on the side-by-side door body.

When the side-by-side door is switched from the open position to the closed position, the guide shaft 102 can slide along the guide groove 100, and the side-by-side door can move synchronously with each other while the guide shaft 102 slides along the guide groove 100. Thus, when the split door bodies are closed, the split door bodies are close to each other, so that the side door sealing pairs on the split door bodies can be gradually close to each other in the closing process of the split door bodies, and when the split door bodies are in the closing position, the side door sealing pairs can be mutually abutted to seal a gap between the split door bodies. Therefore, the sealing effect of the side-by-side combination door storage cabinet can be improved, the arrangement of the turnover beam is omitted, and the problems of high door opening and closing noise and high mold design and manufacturing cost caused by the turnover beam are solved. And because the side door seal pair is arranged on the side-by-side door body, the step of welding the side door seal and the main door seal is omitted, the installation difficulty of the side door seal is reduced, and the installation efficiency of the side door seal is improved.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the guide shaft 102 is adapted to slide along the guide groove 100 to move the side door closer to each other, from the closed position to the open position.

In other words, when the side-by-side door body is opened, that is, when the side-by-side door body is switched from the closed position to the open position, the guide shaft 102 can slide along the guide groove 100, and the side-by-side door body can move relatively in synchronization with the sliding of the guide shaft 102 along the guide groove 100, and it is noted that the side-by-side door body moves in a relatively distant direction during this process. Therefore, when the side-by-side door bodies are opened, the side-by-side door bodies are mutually far away, so that the side door sealing pairs on the side-by-side door bodies can be gradually far away from each other in the opening process of the side-by-side door bodies, further, the friction force between the side door sealing pairs in the opening process can be effectively reduced, and the user can easily open the side-by-side door bodies.

Referring to fig. 1, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the side-by-side door includes a first door 104 and a second door 106, at least one of the first door 104 and the second door 106 being provided with the other one of the guide groove 100 and the guide shaft 102.

Taking the left door body as the first door body 104 and the right door body as the second door body 106 in fig. 1 as an example, the guide groove 100 may be provided on the first door body 104, and correspondingly, the guide shaft 102 corresponding to the guide groove 100 on the first door body 104 may be provided on the cabinet corresponding to the first door body 104. Also, the guide groove 100 may be provided on the second door 106, and correspondingly, the guide shaft 102 corresponding to the guide groove 100 on the second door 106 may be provided on the cabinet corresponding to the second door 106.

Alternatively, the guide shaft 102 may be provided on the first door 104, and accordingly, the guide groove 100 corresponding to the guide shaft 102 on the first door 104 may be provided on the cabinet corresponding to the first door 104. Also, a guide shaft 102 may be provided on the second door 106, and correspondingly, a guide groove 100 corresponding to the guide shaft 102 on the second door 106 may be provided on the cabinet corresponding to the second door 106.

Alternatively, the guide groove 100 may be provided in the first door 104, and accordingly, the guide shaft 102 corresponding to the guide groove 100 in the first door 104 may be provided in the cabinet corresponding to the first door 104. Conversely, the guide shaft 102 may be provided on the second door 106, and correspondingly, the guide groove 100 corresponding to the guide shaft 102 on the second door 106 may be provided on the cabinet corresponding to the second door 106.

Alternatively, the guide shaft 102 may be provided on the first door 104, and accordingly, the guide groove 100 corresponding to the guide shaft 102 on the first door 104 may be provided on the cabinet corresponding to the first door 104. Conversely, the guide groove 100 may be provided on the second door 106, and correspondingly, the guide shaft 102 corresponding to the guide groove 100 on the second door 106 may be provided on the cabinet corresponding to the second door 106.

As shown in fig. 4, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the guide groove 100 is arc-shaped and the extending direction of the guide groove 100 is adapted to the rotating direction of the side-by-side combination door body.

That is, the guide groove 100 has an arc shape corresponding to the rotation direction of the side-by-side combination door body. Taking the first door 104 as an example, when the first door 104 is opened in the direction shown in fig. 4, the guide slot 100 on the first door 104 has an arc shape corresponding to the rotation direction of the first door 104. Correspondingly, the guide groove 100 on the second door 106 and the guide groove 100 on the first door 104 are symmetrical with each other with the center of the cabinet.

In order to realize the sliding of the guide shaft 102 along the guide groove 100 and simultaneously drive the first door 104 and the second door 106 away from or toward each other, when the guide groove 100 is provided in the side-by-side door, a bending section 108 is formed at an end of the guide groove 100 near the inner side of the side-by-side door, which is bent toward the rotation side of the side-by-side door.

In the side-by-side cabinet provided in the embodiment of the invention, taking the first door 104 as an example, the hinged side of the first door 104 and the cabinet is referred to as the rotating side of the first door 104, and the openable side of the first door 104 is referred to as the opening side of the first door 104.

When the guide grooves 100 are respectively provided in the first door 104 and the second door 106, and the guide shaft 102 is provided in the cabinet, the guide grooves 100 on the first door 104 are formed with bending sections 108 bent toward the rotation side of the split door at the end of the guide groove 100 on the second door 106 near the inner side of the second door 106.

Thus, when the first door 104 is switched from the open position to the closed position, the guide shaft 102 is fixed to the cabinet, and thus the first door 104 moves in a direction approaching the second door 106 by the interaction of the guide shaft 102 and the guide groove 100. Similarly, when the second door 106 is switched from the open position to the closed position, the second door 106 moves in a direction approaching the first door 104 due to the interaction between the guide shaft 102 and the guide groove 100, since the guide shaft 102 is fixed to the cabinet. This ensures that the first door 104 and the second door 106 can be moved closer to each other during closing to improve the sealing performance between the first door 104 and the second door 106, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the side-by-side locker.

In contrast, when the first door 104 is switched from the closed position to the open position, the first door 104 moves away from the second door 106 due to the interaction of the guide shaft 102 and the guide groove 100, since the guide shaft 102 is fixed to the cabinet. Similarly, when the second door 106 is switched from the closed position to the open position, the second door 106 moves away from the first door 104 due to the interaction between the guide shaft 102 and the guide groove 100, since the guide shaft 102 is fixed to the cabinet. This ensures that the first door 104 and the second door 106 can be separated from each other in the opening process, thereby improving convenience when the first door 104 and the second door 106 are opened.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, when the guide groove 100 is provided in the cabinet and the guide shaft 102 is provided in the first door 104 and the second door 106, respectively, a bending section 108 bending toward the middle of the cabinet is formed at one end of the guide groove 100 near the open side of the cabinet.

In the side-by-side locker provided by the embodiment of the invention, the side, which is used for taking and placing the articles, of the locker body is called as an open side of the locker body.

Thus, when the first door 104 is switched from the open position to the closed position, the first door 104 moves toward the right as viewed in fig. 3 due to the interaction of the guide groove 100 and the guide shaft 102, since the guide groove 100 is fixed to the cabinet. Similarly, when the second door 106 is switched from the open position to the closed position, the second door 106 moves toward the left as viewed in fig. 3 due to the interaction of the guide groove 100 and the guide shaft 102, since the guide groove 100 is fixed to the cabinet. This ensures that the first door 104 and the second door 106 can be moved closer to each other during closing to improve the sealing performance between the first door 104 and the second door 106, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the side-by-side locker.

In contrast, when the first door 104 is switched from the closed position to the open position, since the guide groove 100 is fixed to the cabinet, the first door 104 moves toward the left as viewed in fig. 3 by the interaction of the guide groove 100 and the guide shaft 102. Similarly, when the second door 106 is switched from the closed position to the open position, the second door 106 moves toward the right as viewed in fig. 3 due to the interaction of the guide groove 100 and the guide shaft 102, since the guide groove 100 is fixed to the cabinet. This ensures that the first door 104 and the second door 106 can be moved away from each other during the opening process to improve the convenience when the first door 104 and the second door 106 are opened.

As shown in fig. 1, according to an embodiment of the present invention, one of the rotation shaft 110 and the shaft hole 112 is provided on the cabinet, and the other of the rotation shaft 110 and the shaft hole 112 is provided on the side-by-side combination door.

Taking the example of the cabinet body with a rotating shaft 110, and the first door 104 and the second door 106 with shaft holes 112 respectively. By providing the rotary shaft 110 on the cabinet body and providing the shaft holes 112 on the first door 104 and the second door 106 respectively, the first door 104 and the second door 106 can be effectively ensured to flexibly rotate relative to the cabinet body respectively.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the shaft hole 112 is a long hole, and the shaft hole 112 is located at one side of the guide slot 100 near the rotation side of the split door body; the rotary shaft 110 is inserted into the shaft hole 112 and is adapted to slide along the shaft hole 112 based on the motion of the split door body.

As shown in fig. 4, in order to match the sliding motion of the guide shaft 102 along the guide groove 100, the shaft hole 112 in the embodiment of the present invention is a long hole, and the rotation shaft 110 is inserted into the shaft hole 112. Taking the first door 104 as an example, the shaft hole 112 on the first door 104 is provided at a side of the guide groove 100 near the rotation side of the first door 104, that is, the shaft hole 112 on the first door 104 is provided at a left side of the guide groove 100 as shown in fig. 4, and the shaft hole 112 is provided at a position on the first door 104 near the outer surface of the first door 104. Accordingly, the shaft hole 112 on the second door 106 is disposed at the right side of the guide groove 100 as shown in fig. 3.

When the guide shaft 102 slides along the guide groove 100, the rotation shaft 110 can also be synchronously driven to slide along the shaft hole 112. As shown in fig. 4, taking the first door 104 as an example, the rotation shaft 110 and the guide shaft 102 are fixedly disposed in the cabinet, and the shaft hole 112 and the guide groove 100 are disposed in the first door 104. When the first door 104 is opened, the guide groove 100 is rotated clockwise, and the shaft hole 112 slides with respect to the rotation shaft 110 when the bent section 108 of the guide groove 100 is engaged with the guide shaft 102. Thereby, the friction force when opening the first door 104 can be reduced. When the first door 104 is closed, the guide groove 100 rotates counterclockwise, and when the engagement of the guide groove 100 with the guide shaft 102 is switched from the bending section 108 to the arc section, the shaft hole 112 can also slide with respect to the rotation shaft 110. Thereby, the first door 104 can approach the second door 106 during closing, and the sealing effect between the first door 104 and the second door 106 is increased.

Note that, whether the guide shaft 102 is provided to the side-by-side door or the cabinet, the guide groove 100 may be regarded as a reference for observation, that is, the guide shaft 102 may be regarded as sliding along the guide groove 100.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the pair of side seals includes a first side seal 114 and a second side seal 116; a first mounting piece 118 is embedded in the first door body 104, and the first side door seal 114 is inserted into the first mounting piece 118; the second door 106 is embedded with a second mounting member 120, and the second side door seal 116 is inserted into the second mounting member 120.

Referring to fig. 3 and 5, a first mounting member 118 is embedded in the first door 104, wherein the first mounting member 118 is embedded in a side of the first door 104 facing the second door 106, and the first side door seal 114 is inserted on the first mounting member 118. Correspondingly, in order to realize sealing fit with the first side door seal 114, a second mounting piece 120 is embedded in the second door body 106, wherein the second mounting piece 120 is embedded in the second door body 106 at the side facing the first door body 104, and the second side door seal 116 is inserted on the second mounting piece 120. When the first door 104 and the second door 106 are in the closed position, the first side door seal 114 and the second side door seal 116 abut each other to achieve a seal between the first door 104 and the second door 106.

In other words, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first side door seal 114 is no longer required to be connected to the main door seal on the first door body 104 by welding, but is directly inserted into the first mounting member 118 pre-embedded in the first door body 104 to complete the installation of the first side door seal 114. Likewise, the second side door seal 116 is no longer required to be connected to the main door seal on the second door body 106 by welding, but is directly inserted into the second mounting member 120 embedded in the second door body 106 to complete the installation of the second side door seal 116. Moreover, by arranging the first side door seal 114 and the second side door seal 116, the arrangement of the overturning beam is omitted, so that the problems of high door opening and closing noise and high mold design and manufacturing cost are solved, the period of product development and production is shortened, and the energy consumption is reduced.

For example, the first slot 122 may be an Ω slot formed in the first mounting member 118, the first barb may be tapered, and the diameter of the largest cross section of the first barb is larger than the opening diameter of the Ω slot, so that the first barb can be firmly clamped with the Ω slot after being inserted into the Ω slot through its elastic deformation. In addition, the number of the first slots 122 provided on the first mounting member 118 may be plural, and accordingly, a plurality of first pins 124 corresponding to the first slots 122 are provided on the first side door seal 114. To increase the amount of elastic deformation of the first barb, the first barb may be provided in a hollow form; or the first barb is made of rubber, silica gel and other materials.

Also, in the embodiment of the present invention, the plugging manner of the second side door seal 116 and the second mounting member 120 is the same as the plugging manner of the first side door seal 114 and the first mounting member 118, and will not be described herein.

Of course, other manners of inserting the first side door seal 114 into the first mounting member 118 and inserting the second side door seal 116 into the second mounting member 120 may be adopted, for example, an elastic latch may be disposed in the first slot 122, and a lock hole may be disposed on the first pin 124, so that when the first pin 124 is inserted into the first slot 122, the elastic latch in the first slot 122 may be inserted into the lock hole on the first pin 124.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 5, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the first door body 104 is further provided with a first main door seal 130, and the first main door seal 130 is provided with a first flash 132 extending toward the second side door seal 116; the second door body 106 is further provided with a second main door seal 134, and the second main door seal 134 is provided with a second flash 136 extending toward the first side door seal 114; in the closed position, the first and

second fins

132, 136 overlap and serve to conceal the gap between the first and

second doors

104, 106.

By providing the first door seal 130 on the first door 104 and the second door seal 134 on the second door 106, sealing between the first door 104, the second door 106, and the equipment to which the side-by-side assembly is mounted can be achieved.

The first flange 132 extending toward the direction of the second side door seal 116 is provided on the first main door seal 130, and the second flange 136 extending toward the direction of the first side door seal 114 is provided on the second main door seal 134, so that the sealing between the first door body 104 and the second door body 106 can be further realized. The first fins 132 and the second fins 136 may be made of flexible materials such as rubber and silicone.

When the first door 104 and the second door 106 are in the closed position, the first flange 132 and the second flange 136 overlap each other, thereby enabling the purpose of shielding the gap between the first door 104 and the second door 106 by overlapping the first flange 132 and the second flange 136 with each other. When the side-by-side door assembly is applied to a refrigeration apparatus such as a refrigerator, since the first and

second fins

132 and 136 shield the gap between the first and

second door bodies

104 and 106, cool air in the refrigerator is not blown toward the first and/or second side seals 114 and 116, and thus condensation is not generated on the first and/or second side seals 114 and 116.

The first fins 132 and the second fins 136 may be inclined toward the inner sides of the first door 104 and the second door 106, respectively, so that when cool air is blown out, the cool air can be guided to the first main seal 130 and the second main seal 134 via the first fins 132 and the second fins 136. Of course, the first fins 132 and the second fins 136 may be oriented downward as shown in fig. 5.
