[0012] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiment is only one embodiment of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0013] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the usual meanings understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which this application belongs. If the full text involves descriptions such as "first" and "second", the "first" and "second" descriptions are only used to distinguish similar objects, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance, order of precedence, or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. It should be understood that the data described by "first" and "second" can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances. If "and / or" appears in the full text, its meaning includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes Solution A, Solution B, or solutions that meet both A and B.

[0014] The inventors of this application found that when using a metal keel solution, since the keel is usually manufactured using a rolling process, the processing cycle is long and the energy consumption is relatively high, the cost of metal materials is high, resulting in high production costs, and the metal materials have weak corrosion resistance. The metal adjustment screws used in combination with the metal keel are small in size and have poor stability, resulting in poor stability of the assembled support device; when using a plastic support adjustment foot solution, a large number of plastic molds are required, and when supporting products with a relatively high chassis, a large number of parts are required for multiple assembly. The assembly process is complicated and cumbersome, resulting in high manufacturing and assembly costs, and poor stability of the assembled support device.

[0015] To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides a support adjustment assembly for providing bottom support for kitchen and bathroom equipment, such as Figure 1 The structural schematic diagram of the support adjustment component according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, wherein it includes a base 10, a height adjustment component 20, and a limit member 30. The height adjustment component 20 is arranged on the base 10, and the limit member 30 is arranged on the height adjustment component 20, wherein the height adjustment component 20 is arranged to be able to change its own height so that the height of the support adjustment component 1 changes.

[0016] In some embodiments, when installing the support adjustment assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application, the height adjustment assembly 20 can be first set on the base 10, and then the limit member 30 can be set on the height adjustment assembly 20.

[0017] In some embodiments, the base 10 may be made of plastic material and injection molded using engineering plastics, and reinforcing ribs may be provided on the edge of the base 10 to enhance the stability of the base 10 and thereby enhance the stability of the support and adjustment assembly 1 .

[0018] In some embodiments, the height adjustment assembly 20 includes a support member 21, a first adjustment member 22, a locking member 23, and a second adjustment member 24. The support member 21 is configured to have a support structure 211 at one end, and a limit member 30 is disposed on it and supported by it. The other end is movably connected to the first adjustment member 22 so that the support structure of the support member 21 can be adjusted relative to the height of the base 10; the locking member 23 is disposed between the support member 21 and the first adjustment member 22, and is configured to lock the position of the support member 21; the second adjustment member 24 is disposed on the base 10, and is configured to cooperate with the first adjustment member 21.

[0019] In some embodiments, the second adjustment member 24 is provided on the base 10 , which increases the contact area between the support adjustment assembly 1 and the ground, reduces the pressure per unit area of ​​the support adjustment assembly 1 , shares the pressure load, and enhances the stability of the support adjustment assembly 1 .

[0020] In some embodiments, the length of the second adjusting member 24 is configured to be adjustable during a prior processing process, and the length of the second adjusting member 24 is determined according to actual installation requirements.

[0021] In some embodiments, the support member 21 may be made of plastic and may be injection molded from engineering plastic. In some embodiments, the support structure 211 may be a platform so that other components can be stably arranged on the support structure 211 .

[0022] In some embodiments, the limiter 30 may include a limiter body 31 and a limiter portion 32 . The limiter body 31 is connected to the support structure 211 , and the limiter portion 32 is disposed on the limiter body 31 .

[0023] In some embodiments, the retaining portion 32 is triangular in shape, with its outer wall extending away from the support member 21 and forming a cavity. Each side of the retaining portion 32 has a concave outer wall, with a concave center and raised ends connecting to the other two outer walls.

[0024] In some embodiments, a small hole is provided on the limiter body 31, and a protrusion extends from the limiter portion 32 in a direction opposite to the extension direction of the outer wall and can pass through the small hole on the limiter body 31. The limiter portion 32 can be fixedly connected to the limiter body 31 by inserting its protrusion into the small hole.

[0025] In some embodiments, a small hole can be opened on the support structure 211. After the limiting portion 32 inserts its protrusion into the small hole on the limiting member body 31, the part of the protrusion that passes through the limiting member body 31 can be inserted into the small hole on the support structure 211, so that the limiting member 30 is fixedly connected to the support member 21.

[0026] In some embodiments, the limiter body 31 and the support structure 211 may include a plurality of small holes, so that the limiter body 31 can be fixedly connected to the plurality of limit portions 32, and the plurality of limit portions 32 can be fixed to the support structure 211. In some embodiments, the small holes on the limiter body 31 and the support structure 211 can be evenly distributed, so that the limit portions 32 are evenly distributed on the limiter body 31 and the support structure 211. In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, four limiting portions 32 can be fixed on the limiting member body 31 , and the intervals between adjacent limiting portions 32 are equal.

[0027] In some embodiments, in some embodiments, two grooves 2110 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the support structure 211, and the limiter body 31 extends in the direction of contact with the support structure 211 to form two protrusions 310. Before the protrusion of the limiter 32 passes through the limiter body 31 and is inserted into the small hole on the support structure 211, the grooves 2110 on the support structure 211 can be aligned with the protrusions 310 on the limiter body 31 to achieve rapid positioning of the installation positions of the limiter 30 and the support 21, and by combining the grooves 2110 on the support structure 211 with the protrusions 310 on the limiter body 31, the stability of the connection can be further enhanced to prevent the limiter 30 from rotating.

[0028] In some embodiments, the first adjusting member 22 may be made of plastic and may be injection molded using engineering plastic.

[0029] In some embodiments, the second adjusting member 24 can be made of PVC and formed by PVC pultrusion, which has a simple process and low cost. In some embodiments, after the second adjusting member 24 is formed, the second adjusting member 24 can be cut to a required length according to actual operation requirements. In some embodiments, the second adjusting member 24 can be a spiral tube, and the length of the second adjusting member 24 can be adjusted by a movable mold insert during the manufacturing process, or the length or height of the second adjusting member 24 can be adjusted by cutting after the second adjusting member 24 is formed. When the second adjusting member 24 is a spiral tube, the tube wall thickness is relatively thick, the mold cost is relatively high, and the cost is high.

[0030] In some embodiments, the locking member 23 may be made of plastic and may be injection molded using engineering plastic. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structural disassembly of the support adjustment assembly according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. In some embodiments, the locking member 23 may include an operating handle 230 to facilitate the rotation of the locking member.

[0031] In some embodiments, the base 10 is provided with an extension portion 11 along a direction in which the second adjustment member 24 cooperates with the base 10 , and the second adjustment member 24 is provided inside the extension portion 11 .

[0032] In some embodiments, a plurality of holes 12 are provided on the base 10 , and the holes 12 are evenly distributed around the extension portion 11 on the outside of the extension portion 11 , and a support column 13 extending from the extension portion 11 to the outside of the base 10 is provided between two adjacent holes 12 to enhance the stability of the base 10 .

[0033] In some embodiments, the first adjusting member 22 is provided with a matching portion 221 , which extends in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the extending portion 11 , and the second adjusting member 24 is arranged to abut against the matching portion 221 .

[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the matching portion 221 includes an operating handle 2210 to facilitate operating the first adjustment member 22 to change the height of the height adjustment component 20 itself and change the height of the support adjustment component 1.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first adjusting member 22 is provided with an adjusting portion 222 , which is integrally formed with the matching portion 221 , and the adjusting portion 222 is provided to extend in an extension direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the matching portion 221 , and the adjusting portion 222 is provided on the inner side of the second adjusting member 24 .

[0036] In some embodiments, the adjusting portion 222 is provided with a threaded structure, and the threaded structure cooperates with the supporting member 21 to enable a movably connection between the two.

[0037] In some embodiments, the locking member 23 is threadedly connected to the supporting member 21 . When the locking member 23 locks the supporting member 21 , the locking member 23 abuts against the matching portion 221 .

[0038] In some embodiments, when installing the support adjustment assembly 1 of the embodiments of the present application, the length of the second adjustment member 24 is first determined according to actual installation requirements. The first adjustment member 22 is then inserted into the second adjustment member 24 of the determined length, such that the second adjustment member 24 abuts the mating portion 221 of the first adjustment member 22 and the adjustment portion 222 is disposed inside the second adjustment member 24. The first and second adjustment members 22 and 24 are then inserted together into the base 10, i.e., the adjustment portion 222 of the first and second adjustment members 24 are inserted together into the inner side of the extension portion 11 of the base 10, such that the second adjustment member 24 abuts between the mating portion 221 and the extension portion 11. The locking member 23 is then threadedly connected to the support member 21, and the support member 21, the locking member 23, and the adjustment portion 222 of the first adjustment member 22 are threadedly connected. The support member 21 is then inserted into the base 10, such that one end of the mating portion 221 of the first adjustment member 22 abuts the locking member 23, and the other end abuts the second adjustment member 24. Then insert the protrusion of the limiting part 32 into the small hole on the limiting part body 31, and then align the two protrusions 310 on the limiting part body 31 with the grooves 2110 on both sides of the support structure, and insert the part of the protrusion of the limiting part 32 after passing through the limiting part body 31 into the small hole on the support structure 211, so that the limiting part 30 is fixedly installed on the support part 21, that is, the limiting part 30 is provided on the other end of the support part 21 opposite to the end where the first adjusting part 22 and the locking part 23 are provided.

[0039] In some embodiments, when adjusting the height of the support adjustment assembly 1 of the embodiments of the present application, the support member 21 can be controlled by rotating the operating handle 2210 of the mating portion of the first adjustment member 22, so that the support member 21 moves toward or away from the first adjustment member 22 along the threaded structure mating between the adjustment portion 222 and the support member 21, thereby adjusting the height of the support member 21 and, in turn, the height of the support adjustment assembly 1. After the support member 21 is adjusted to the desired height, the locking member 23 can be controlled by rotating the operating handle 230 of the locking member so that the locking member 23 moves along the threaded structure mating between the adjustment portion 222 and the locking member 23 toward the first adjustment member 22 until the locking member 23 abuts the mating portion 221, thereby completing the adjustment and locking of the height of the support adjustment assembly 1.

[0040] In some embodiments, before adjusting the height of the support adjustment assembly 1 of the embodiment of the present application, the locking member 23 locks the height of the support adjustment assembly 1, that is, the locking member 23 presses against the fitting portion 221. At this time, it is necessary to first rotate the operating hand position 230 of the locking member to control the locking member 23, so that the locking member 23 moves along the threaded structure between the adjustment portion 222 and the locking member 23 in the direction away from the first adjustment member 22 until the locking member 23 no longer presses against the fitting portion 221, thereby completing the unlocking of the height of the support adjustment assembly 1, and then controlling the support member 21 by rotating the operating hand position 2210 of the fitting portion of the first adjustment member 22, so that the support member 21 moves along the threaded structure between the adjustment portion 222 and the support member 21 in the direction close to the first adjustment member 22 or away from the first adjustment member 22 to adjust the height of the support member 21, thereby adjusting the height of the support adjustment assembly 1. After the support member 21 is adjusted to the required height, the operating handle 230 of the locking member is rotated again to control the locking member 23, so that the locking member 23 moves along the threaded structure between the adjustment portion 222 and the locking member 23 toward the direction close to the first adjustment member 22 until the locking member 23 is pressed against the fitting portion 221, thereby completing the adjustment and locking of the height of the support adjustment assembly 1.

[0041] In some embodiments, when adjusting the height of the support adjustment component 1 of the embodiment of the present application, the height of the support adjustment component 1 can be monitored by an infrared level meter to accurately control the height of the support adjustment component 1.

[0042] The embodiment of the present application also provides a support structure for kitchen and bathroom equipment. Figure 3 is a structural diagram of a support structure according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes multiple tubular members 40 and multiple support and adjustment components 1 in any of the above embodiments. The multiple tubular members 40 are configured to cooperate with the multiple support and adjustment components 1, and the kitchen and bathroom equipment are set on the multiple tubular members 40.

[0043] In some embodiments, the tubular member 40 cooperates with the limiting member 30 .

[0044] In some embodiments, a plurality of limiting portions 32 can be fixedly provided on the limiting member body 31, and the distance between adjacent limiting portions 32 is adapted to the width of the tubular member 40, so that when the tubular member 40 is placed on the support adjustment assembly 1, the tubular member 40 is placed between the plurality of limiting portions 32, and the limiting portions 32 can play a limiting role on the tubular member 40.

[0045] In some embodiments, the length of the tubular member 40 is configured to be adjustable during a prior processing process, and the length of the tubular member 40 is determined according to actual installation requirements.

[0046] In some embodiments, the tubular member 40 may be made of plastic and manufactured using a pultrusion mold, and may be cut to length according to actual needs after molding.

[0047] In some embodiments, the plurality of tubular members 40 are snap-fitted with the limiting member 30 of the support adjustment assembly 1 .

[0048] In some embodiments, a tubular member 40 can be configured to cooperate with two support and adjustment assemblies 1, such that one end of the tubular member 40 is mounted on the support member 21 of one support and adjustment assembly 1 and is restrained by two adjacent stoppers 32 on the support member 21; the other end is mounted on the support member 21 of the other support and adjustment assembly 1 and is restrained by two adjacent stoppers 32 on the support member 21 of the other support and adjustment assembly 1. In some embodiments, a single support and adjustment assembly 1 can cooperate with up to four tubular members 40. The coordination between multiple tubular members 40 and multiple support and adjustment assemblies 1 provides the support structure for kitchen and bathroom equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application with strong load-bearing capacity and high stability. In some embodiments, the number of support and adjustment assemblies 1 and the number of tubular members 40 is determined based on actual needs. When the number of support and adjustment assemblies 1 and tubular members 40 is large, kitchen and bathroom equipment with large chassis can be accommodated. When the number of support and adjustment assemblies 1 and tubular members 40 is small, kitchen and bathroom equipment with small chassis can be accommodated, saving materials.

[0049] In some embodiments, when installing the support structure 2 for kitchen and bathroom equipment according to an embodiment of the present application, the length of the second adjusting member 24 can be first determined based on actual installation requirements. The first adjusting member 22 can then be inserted into the second adjusting member 24 of the determined length, such that the second adjusting member 24 abuts the mating portion 221 of the first adjusting member 22 and the adjusting portion 222 is positioned inside the second adjusting member. The first adjusting member 22 and the second adjusting member 24 can then be inserted together into the base 10, such that the adjusting portion 222 of the first adjusting member 22 and the second adjusting member 24 are inserted together into the extension portion 11 of the base 10, such that the second adjusting member 24 is positioned between the mating portion 221 and the extension portion 11. The locking member 23 can then be threadedly connected to the support member 21, and the support member 21, the locking member 23, and the adjusting portion 222 of the first adjusting member 22 can then be threadedly connected. The support member 21 can then be inserted into the base 10, such that one end of the mating portion 221 of the first adjusting member 22 abuts the locking member 23, and the other end abuts the second adjusting member 24. Then, according to the width of the tubular member 40, the protrusions of the four limiting parts 32 are inserted into the small holes on the limiting part body 31, and then the two protrusions 310 on the limiting part body 31 are aligned with the grooves 2110 on both sides of the support structure, and then the part of the protrusion of the limiting part 32 that passes through the limiting part body 31 is inserted into the small holes on the support structure 211, so that the limiting part 30 is fixedly installed on the support member 21, that is, the limiting part 30 is provided on the other end of the support member 21 opposite to the end where the first adjusting part 22 and the locking part 23 are provided. The four limiting parts 32 are arranged around the center of the support structure 211, and the distance between adjacent limiting parts 32 is the same, and the above distance is the width of the tubular member 40, that is, the installation of a support adjustment component 1 is completed. Repeat the above steps until multiple support adjustment components 1 are installed, and match multiple tubular members 40 with multiple support adjustment components 1 respectively, that is, one tubular member 40 can be matched with two support adjustment components 1, so that one end of a tubular member 40 is set on the support member 21 of one support adjustment component 1, and is snap-fitted with two adjacent limiting portions 32 on the support member 21; the other end is set on the support member 21 of another support adjustment component 1, and is snap-fitted with two adjacent limiting portions 32 on the support member 21 of another support adjustment component 1.
