[0023] This invention discloses a spring-loaded display panel bracket structure for refrigerators. The following describes one embodiment of the invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator's spring-loaded display panel bracket structure includes a display panel embedded box 1, a display panel bracket body 2, and a sliding part. The display panel bracket body 2 is adapted to be installed inside the display panel embedded box 1, and the sliding part springs open or locks within the display panel embedded box 1. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the display panel embedded box 1 has a lidless box-shaped structure with a flared opening on the top side. Inside the display panel embedded box 1, a groove is located below the flared opening, serving as a positioning element 101. A protruding rib, serving as a track plate 102, extends from the positioning element 101 to the bottom of the display panel embedded box 1. A protruding rib, serving as a slide rail 103, is located adjacent to the left side wall of the display panel embedded box 1. The slide rail 103 is stepped, with its upper side higher than its lower side. The gap between the slide rail 103 and the left side wall of the display panel embedded box 1 forms a moving groove 104. The upper part of the moving groove 104 has a first cylindrical seat 105, and the lower part has a positioning hole 106.

[0025] like Figure 4As shown, the display panel bracket body 2 has a protruding snap-fit ​​portion 201 at the top center. The snap-fit ​​portion 201 is bent and elastic. One side of the snap-fit ​​portion 201 is provided with a fastener that can be adapted to the positioning member 101, and the other side is provided with several reinforcing ribs. A snap-fit ​​can be formed between the fastener and the positioning member 101. The display panel bracket body 2 has a track groove from the fastener to the bottom of the display panel bracket body 2 that can be adapted to the track plate 102.

[0026] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the sliding part is located inside the display panel embedded box 1 and includes a slider 3, a spring 4, and a connecting iron 5. The slider 3 is connected to the display panel embedded box 1 through the spring 4 and the connecting iron 5. The slider 3 includes a second cylindrical seat 301, a guide groove 302, a sliding groove 303, and a first abutment surface 304. The second cylindrical seat 301 is located on the upper left side of the slider 3. The spring 4 is adapted to be disposed in the moving groove 104. The upper end of the spring 4 is adapted to be fitted outside the first cylindrical seat 105, and the lower end is adapted to be fitted outside the second cylindrical seat 301. The guide groove 302 is located on the top surface of the lower left side of the slider 3. The connecting iron 5 is C-shaped, and its lower end is adapted to be inserted into and fixed in the positioning hole 106. The upper end of the connecting iron 5 is located in the guide groove 302 and can move relative to the guide groove 302 under the action of external force. The guide groove 302 is divided into a first guide section 305, a second guide section 306, a third guide section 307, a fourth guide section 308, a fifth guide section 309, a sixth guide section 310, and a seventh guide section 311. A step 312 is provided only between the first guide section 305 and the seventh guide section 311, which improves the overall smoothness of the guide groove 302 and avoids wear and tear during long-term use, thus improving the smoothness of operation. The seventh guide section 311 is higher than the first guide section 305, and the positioning hole 106 is located on the extension line of the seventh guide section 311. The slide 303 is located on the bottom surface of the slider 3, and the first abutment surface 304 is an inclined end face located on the upper right side of the slider 3. The left side of the display panel bracket body 2 contacts the slide 103, allowing relative sliding between them. The lower left side of the display panel bracket body 2 has a second abutment surface 202 that can be adapted to the first abutment surface 304.

[0027] The display panel bracket body 2 is inserted into the display panel pre-embedded box 1 through the flared opening. The display panel bracket body 2 moves downward along the track plate 102 of the display panel pre-embedded box 1 using the track groove. When the display panel bracket body 2 moves to the appropriate position, it contacts the first abutting surface 304 of the slider 3 using the second abutting surface 202. Pressing the display panel bracket body 2 causes the slider 3 to move downward along the slide 103. At this time, the upper end of the connecting iron 5 will move upward relative to the first guide section 305 and enter the inclined second guide section 306 along the step 312. Slider 3 continues to move, passing from the second guide segment 306 through the third guide segment 307 to the upper limit of the fourth guide segment 308. At this point, slider 3 can no longer move. After releasing the hand, connecting iron 5, under its own elasticity, springs back into the locking structure between the fifth guide segment 309 and the sixth guide segment 310. Simultaneously, the fastener of the display panel bracket body 2 engages with the positioning part 101 of the display panel pre-embedded box 1, thus detachably fixing the display panel bracket body 2 inside the display panel pre-embedded box 1. When it is necessary to remove the display panel bracket body 2 from the display panel pre-embedded box 1, first press the engaging part 201 of the display panel bracket body 2 to cause elastic deformation of the engaging part 201, separating the fastener from the positioning part 101. Then, press the display panel bracket body 2 downward to cause it to move slider 3 downward. The upper end of connecting iron 5 springs back from the locking structure between the fifth guide segment 309 and the sixth guide segment 310 and moves to the upper limit of the sixth guide segment 310. When the hand is released, slider 3 moves upward under the action of spring 4, while connecting iron 5 moves along the seventh guide section 311. After passing the step 312, it re-enters the first guide section 305. Slider 3 finally stops at the stepped connection between the upper and lower sides of slide 103. Display panel bracket 2 moves upward along the track plate 102 of display panel embedded box 1 using the track groove until it is completely removed.
