Seal structure of cold storage and cold storage
This seal structure of a cold storage comprises: a long member that has a magnetic portion configured from a magnetic material; and packing having a magnet that attracts and is attracted by the magnetic portion, a holding portion that holds the magnet, and a sealing portion that comes into close contact with the long member at a position further inward or outward of a cooling chamber than the holding portion when the cooling chamber is sealed, the packing increasing the distance between one portion of the magnet and the long member prior to increasing the distance between the other portion of the magnet and the long member during separation from the long member.
1. A sealing structure for a refrigerator including a refrigeration compartment, comprising:
an elongated member including a magnetic part including a magnetic material;
a magnet configured to be mutually attracted with the magnetic part; and
a packing including a holding part configured to hold the magnet, and a sealing part configured to make intimate contact with the elongated member when the refrigeration compartment is sealed, wherein:
the holding part includes a frame side surface located between the magnet and the elongated member and facing the elongated member and a protrusion disposed in the frame side surface, and
the frame side surface and the magnet are tilted with respect to the elongated member when the refrigeration compartment is sealed such that, when the packing is being separated from the elongated member, a distance between a part of the magnet and the elongated member becomes larger at an earlier timing than a distance between another part of the magnet and the elongated member.
2. The sealing structure of the refrigerator according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion and a part of the frame side surface other than the protrusion are configured to make intimate contact with the elongated member when the refrigeration compartment is sealed.
3. The sealing structure of the refrigerator according to claim 1 , wherein the packing has a cross-sectional shape that is asymmetric with respect to a line perpendicular to the elongated member and passing a center of the magnet.
4. The sealing structure of the refrigerator according to claim 3 , wherein the packing further includes:
an attaching part configured to be attached to an attaching object; and
a connecting part provided between the magnet and the attaching part and configured to connect the attaching part and the holding part.
5. The sealing structure of the refrigerator according to claim 4 , wherein the connecting part has a deflected shape.
6. The sealing structure of the refrigerator according to claim 4 ,
wherein the attaching object is a sliding door; and
wherein a center of the magnet in a thickness direction of the sliding door is located on a line that passes through a center of the sliding door in the thickness direction and is parallel to a movement direction of the sliding door.
7. A refrigerator comprising the sealing structure of the refrigerator according to claim 1 .
8. The refrigerator according to claim 7 , further comprising:
a frame body; and
a sliding door disposed at the frame body,
wherein the packing is provided at the sliding door, and
wherein the elongated member is provided at the frame body.
