Application of constant force spring in refrigerator door

source:Qianye Precision time:2022-9-14

In order to make the refrigerator operate effectively, the door should be kept closed. Keep the door open for a short time when putting or taking out food. However, opening it for a long time will affect its cooling and endanger food safety. It will also lead to excess power consumption. Fortunately, the modern refrigerator door can be added with a constant force spring to automatically close after you open the refrigerator for use. Nowadays, this kind of design is relatively rare in the market. It is generally a magnetic refrigerator door, which explains why the magnet is attached to it.

  We have seen that it is essential to keep the refrigerator door closed all the time. If the door remains open for a long time, it will counteract the internal temperature balance and affect the quality of the food stored in it.When this situation continues for a long time, the compressor cannot maintain a low internal temperature. This undermines its operational efficiency. In addition, the longer the door is opened, the hotter the inside of the refrigerator will become.
  Because it is very important to keep the door closed, a constant force spring is added to the refrigerator door. If you open them, they will close automatically.constant force spring is added, which pulls the door back and seals it tightly to the frame when the door is opened. Constant force springs are often the best spring type for this application and can be manipulated in a number of ways to ensure your design works. Constant force springs are characterized by a large output force with little space requirement, applying an almost constant force throughout the stretch. The constant force spring also has the characteristics of short initial preload, that is, it can withstand the rated load at short elongation, and provide long elongation capability.

A power spring is a mechanical part that uses elasticity to work. Parts made of elastic materials deform under the action of external force, and return to their original shape after the external force is removed. Also known as "winding spring". The production process of the clockwork spring manufacturer can be completed at one time from simple procedures to complex procedures, and...

Smooth Range of Motion: Constant Force Springs Constant force springs provide a smooth range of motion and constant load, meaning they do not follow Hooke’s law. They are uniform in length and coiled into a permanent diameter. Constant force springs are frequently used for applications that require counterbalancing, including windows. In fact, window balance springs are one of our most successful products. In addition,...

There are many mechanical components to choose from for your device or application. If your device requires a spring, consider constant force springs. These are a type of extension spring. They do not obey Hooke’s law, so their force remains constant, even when deflected. Because of their flat force curve, constant force springs are suitable for applications that require a...

Torsion springs are mechanical components that store and release rotational energy. They are used in a wide range of applications, from simple door hinges to complex machinery. Torsion springs work by twisting or rotating around their center axis, generating torque or rotational force.   The basic design of a torsion spring consists of a helical coil of wire with arms...
