Description
The present invention relates to a door handle mounting structure for mounting the door handle to the refrigerator door.
In general, a refrigerator is a device for low temperature storage of food, and is configured to freeze or refrigerate food according to a state of food to be stored.
The inside of the refrigerator is cooled by continuously supplied cold air, and the cold air is continuously generated by the heat exchange action of the refrigerant repeatedly performing a cycle of compression-condensation-expansion-evaporation.
Such refrigerators have tended to be enlarged and multi-functionalized according to diversification of tastes and changes in eating habits, and thus products having various configurations are being released.
The refrigerator has a type in which a freezer compartment is located above the refrigerating compartment, a type in which the freezer compartment is located below the refrigerating compartment, and a type in which the freezer compartment and the refrigerating compartment are adjacent to the left and right sides.
The interior space partitioned into a freezer compartment and a refrigerating compartment as described above is shielded by a refrigerator door, that is, a freezer compartment door and a refrigerating compartment door, and the freezer compartment door and the refrigerating compartment door are opened or closed by a rotation or sliding operation according to the type of the refrigerator.
Therefore, the door handle is mounted on the freezer compartment door and the refrigerating compartment door to facilitate the user's operation.
The door handles are operated by applying a force in one direction while the user grips the door handles. In this case, the door handles move in a direction in which an external force is applied unless the door handles are firmly engaged with the door. The force required to open the door is increased, there is a problem that the operation feeling is lowered.
In addition, if the fastening relationship between the door and the door handle is not firm, flow occurs in the door handle during the user's operation, and the flow displacement becomes wider as the number of openings of the door accumulates, causing the door handle and the door to be damaged. There is a problem.
And, in order to solve the above problems, a door handle mounting structure consisting of a handle fixture and a fixing fixture has been released, but conventionally used door handles are used a lot of aluminum material, these aluminum door handles have a predetermined diameter Is formed in a rod shape having a length and the length, the weight of the door handle is not only heavy, there is a problem that takes a lot of aluminum material costs.
In addition, since the door handle is integrally extruded to form a portion that is coupled with the handle fixing tool, when the position and the shape of the handle fixing tool are changed, the mold for extruding the door handle should be modified. This is a difficult and time consuming problem.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator door handle mounting structure in which a holder coupled to a handle fixture provided in a refrigerator door to fix the door handle is detachably coupled to a hollow door handle.
The present invention includes a door handle which is hollow formed inside and gripped by a user for selectively opening and closing the refrigerator door; A handle fixture provided in the refrigerator door and coupled to the door handle; Holders respectively coupled to both ends of the door handles to accommodate a part of the handle holder; And a release prevention tool configured to selectively restrain the handle fixing tool by penetrating through one side of the door handle and the holder. The holder may be separated from the door handle.
In another aspect, the present invention, the handle fixture is coupled to the upper surface of the refrigerator door;
A door handle formed inside of a rod-shaped hollow shape; Holders which are respectively coupled to both ends of the door handles and accommodate a portion of the handle fixing tool; And a release prevention tool penetrating through one side of the door handle and the holder to prevent the handle fixing tool from being separated from the holder, wherein the holder is fitted to both ends of the door handle.
According to the refrigerator door handle mounting structure according to the present invention, the door handle has a hollow inside, and the holder is coupled to the handle fixture on both ends of the door handle.
Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of material forming the door handle, the material cost of the door handle is reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the refrigerator.
In addition, when the coupling position of the handle fixture is changed, since the coupling position of the holder can be adjusted to fit, there is an advantage that the position can be easily changed.
Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments in which the spirit of the present invention is presented, and other embodiments included in the spirit of the present invention or other inventions which are degenerate by addition, modification, or deletion of other components are easily provided.
