Abstract

Disclosed are a refrigerator and a door body thereof. The door body for the refrigerator comprises: a frame hinged to a refrigerator body or other door bodies of the refrigerator; an inner glass plate disposed in a hollow area of the frame; and an outer glass plate fixedly connected to an edge of the frame, having conductive particles, and configured to produce heat after being powered on to remove condensate water on the surface thereof. According to the solution of the present invention, the outer glass plate is powered on to produce heat so as to remove condensate water, thereby avoiding that the heat produced by an additional heating layer cannot be transferred to the outer glass plate. The present invention can effectively improve the condensate water removal effect.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A door body applied to a refrigerator, comprising:
 a frame, configured to be hinged to a refrigerator body or another door body of the refrigerator;   an inner glass plate, disposed in a hollow area of the frame; and   an outer glass plate, fixedly connected to an edge of the frame, having conductive particles, and configured to produce heat after powered on so as to remove condensate water on the surface of the outer glass plate.   
     
     
         2 . The door body applied to a refrigerator according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a wire leading layer, coated on an inner side of the outer glass plate, and configured to be connected to a conductor so as to power on the outer glass plate.   
     
     
         3 . The door body applied to a refrigerator according to  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a decorative layer, disposed between the outer glass plate and the frame, a hollow area of the decorative layer being disposed corresponding to the hollow area of the frame.   
     
     
         4 . The door body applied to a refrigerator according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the wire leading layer matches with the decorative layer in patterns so as to be integrated with the decorative layer.   
     
     
         5 . The door body applied to a refrigerator according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the wire leading layer is located at an inner edge of the outer glass plate, and   the edge of the outer glass plate is wrapped to shield the wire leading layer.   
     
     
         6 . The door body applied to a refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a foamed layer is disposed between the frame and the outer glass plate, and   a heating wire is pre-embedded in the foamed layer, and the heating wire is configured to produce heat in a controlled way to remove condensate water on the surface of the outer glass plate.   
     
     
         7 . The door body applied to a refrigerator according to  claim 6 , wherein
 when a humidity in a storage space of the refrigerator is greater than a preset humidity threshold, the outer glass plate and the heating wire produce heat simultaneously.   
     
     
         8 . The door body applied to a refrigerator according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a spacing bar disposed between the inner glass plate and the outer glass plate to insulate heat.   
     
     
         9 . The door body applied to a refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a gas with a heat conductivity smaller than a preset conductivity threshold is filled between the inner glass plate and the outer glass plate.   
     
     
         10 . A refrigerator, comprising the door body according to  claim 1 .
