DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The following embodiments are described in detail, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementations described in the following embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. They are only examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the claims.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions. The sentence "includes an element defined by ... does not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element".

[0041] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly stipulated and limited, the terms such as "installation", "setting", "connection", "fixation", "screw-on" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. Unless otherwise clearly defined, for ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and that the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0043] The refrigerator provided in the embodiment of the present application is a refrigeration device, which at least includes a refrigeration system, a cooling system, a control system and a cabinet to achieve refrigeration and operation. Among them, the refrigeration system is used to produce a refrigeration effect, the cooling system is used to maintain a low temperature environment, the control system is used to control the temperature and humidity in the refrigerator, etc., and the cabinet is used to provide storage space. It can be understood that the refrigeration system, the cooling system, and the control system include specific components that can achieve the above functions.

[0044] In some embodiments, the refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and a throttling device. Among them, the compressor is used to compress the refrigerant gas, increase the pressure and temperature, and thus promote the flow of the refrigerant in the system. During the compression process, the refrigerant changes from a low-pressure and high-temperature gas to a high-pressure and high-temperature gas, thereby producing a refrigeration effect. The condenser is used to cool the high-temperature and high-pressure gas discharged from the compressor into a liquid state. The heat is released through the heat sink, and the refrigerant gas is converted into a liquid state, ready to enter the next step of the refrigeration cycle. The evaporator is used to absorb heat in the refrigeration system. The refrigerant evaporates from a liquid state to a gas state in the evaporator, absorbing heat from the surrounding environment, thereby achieving the purpose of lowering the temperature inside the refrigerator. The throttling device may include an expansion valve and a capillary tube, which are used to adjust the flow rate of the refrigerant, reduce its pressure, and make it become a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixed state, ready to enter the evaporator.

[0045] In some embodiments, the cooling system includes a fan connected to the evaporator. The fan circulates air in the compartments, such as the freezer and refrigerator, to transfer heat to the evaporator, helping to maintain a low temperature environment inside the refrigerator.

[0046] It should be noted that the above example is merely a simple division of the functions of the refrigerator and does not constitute a limitation on the specific structure of the refrigerator in the embodiment of the present application.

[0047] The refrigerator involved in the embodiment of the present application is a built-in refrigerator. The built-in refrigerator is a refrigerator design that is integrated with the home environment. Its characteristic is that it can be perfectly embedded in a cabinet or wall to achieve maximum utilization of space and unified visual effects.

[0048] Built-in refrigerators have many advantages. First, built-in refrigerators have a very high space utilization rate and are suitable for small apartments or kitchens with limited space. Second, the appearance design of built-in refrigerators is integrated with the cabinets, which looks both beautiful and elegant. In addition, built-in refrigerators use advanced refrigeration technology and energy-saving design, which effectively reduces energy consumption and is environmentally friendly. High-quality materials and strict production processes ensure the safety and reliability of the refrigerator. In use, the refrigerator is perfectly combined with the cabinet, which is quick to take out and easy to clean.

[0049] Among them, there are many types of built-in refrigerators, such as fully built-in refrigerators, which are completely embedded in the cabinet, and the door body is consistent with the cabinet door 21 plate; semi-embedded refrigerators, that is, a refrigerator design that is partially embedded in the cabinet and partially exposed. In the embodiment of the present application, the built-in refrigerator is a fully built-in refrigerator. When the fully built-in refrigerator is installed, the refrigerator is first placed in the cabinet, and the refrigerator door and the cabinet door 21 are connected by a hanging plate. When the cabinet door 21 is opened, the refrigerator door can be opened, and when the cabinet door 21 is closed, the refrigerator door is closed. After the cabinet door 21 is closed, the cabinet door 21 does not protrude, and the cabinet door 21 is consistent with the cabinet body and the overall home decoration style.

[0050] However, during the connection process between the refrigerator door and the cabinet door 21, the corresponding dimensional error will inevitably occur due to the influence of the refrigerator production process and the size of the cabinet door 21. If you want to control the gap between the cabinet door and the cabinet, such as keeping it uniform left and right, up and down, and front and back consistent, this will inevitably lead to difficulties in assembling the cabinet door and the refrigerator door body.

[0051] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of difficult cabinet door installation when installing a built-in refrigerator, some embodiments of the present application provide a built-in refrigerator installation device, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, after the refrigerator 1 is embedded in the cabinet 2, the refrigerator door 11 and the cabinet door 21 need to be connected by the built-in refrigerator installation device, and then the cabinet door 21 is connected to the cabinet 2 to complete the installation. The built-in refrigerator installation device includes: a connecting plate 3, which is used to connect the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11 together, such as Fig.10 As shown, the connecting plate 3 includes a first connecting plate 31 and a second connecting plate 322 which are perpendicular to each other; the first connecting plate 31 is used to connect with the cabinet door 21 , and the second connecting plate 322 is used to connect with the refrigerator door 11 .

[0052] Specifically, Fig.10 As shown, the cross-section of the connecting plate 3 is L-shaped, and the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 are perpendicular to each other. In order to improve the strength of the connecting plate 3, in the embodiment of the present application, the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 are integrally formed, and the connection between the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 is set to an arc shape, which can improve the overall strength of the connecting plate 3. When the cabinet door 21 is not connected to the cabinet body 2, after the cabinet door 21 is connected to the refrigerator door 11 through the connecting plate 3, the connecting plate 3 can support the cabinet door 21 to be connected to the refrigerator door 11. The connection between the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 is an arc structure, which can improve the supporting force of the connecting plate 3 to prevent the connecting plate 3 from breaking after the cabinet door 21 is connected to the refrigerator door 11.

[0053] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the connecting plate 3 is made of sheet metal, which further improves the strength of the connecting plate 3.

[0054] The second connecting plate 32 is provided with at least two connecting holes 321. By using the stud bolt 4, after one end of the stud bolt 4 passes through the connecting hole 321 and one end of the stud bolt 4 is screwed into the refrigerator door 11, the second connecting plate 32 can be connected to the refrigerator door 11.

[0055] Specifically, Fig.11 As shown, a gasket 41 is provided in the middle of the stud bolt 4, a nut 42 is provided at one end of the stud bolt 4, one end of the stud bolt 4 is connected to the refrigerator door 11; the other end of the stud bolt 4 passes through the connecting hole 321 and is threadedly connected to the nut 42.

[0056] One side of the gasket 41 abuts against a side of the second connecting plate 32 away from the first connecting plate 31 , and the other side of the gasket 41 abuts against the refrigerator door 11 .

[0057] Among them, for the convenience of description, the end of the stud bolt 4 connected to the nut 42 is called the first end, and the end of the stud bolt 4 connected to the refrigerator door 11 is called the second end. When the refrigerator door 11 is connected to the second connecting plate 32 by the stud bolt 4, the gasket 41 is arranged between the second connecting plate 32 and the refrigerator door 11. During installation, after the second end of the stud bolt 4 is screwed into the refrigerator door 11, as the stud bolt 4 rotates, the distance that the stud bolt 4 is screwed into the refrigerator door 11 will gradually increase until the gasket 41 abuts against the refrigerator door 11 body, and then the stud bolt 4 and the refrigerator door 11 can be installed. After the stud bolt 4 is connected to the refrigerator door 11, the first end of the stud bolt 4 passes through the connection hole 321, and the first end of the stud bolt 4 protrudes from the second connection plate 32. After the nut 42 is sleeved on the first end of the stud bolt 4, the nut 42 can be rotated to clamp the second connection plate 32 with the gasket 41. For example, when the installation position of the connection plate 3 is determined, the nut 42 can be rotated to make the nut 42 abut against the second connection plate 32, and then the nut 42 and the gasket 41 can be connected to the second connection plate 32. When the position of the cabinet door 21 needs to be adjusted, the position of the cabinet door 21 can be adjusted by rotating the stud bolt 4 to control the distance from the gasket 41 to the refrigerator door 11.

[0058] It is understandable that the upper and lower positions of the cabinet door 21 can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the gasket 41 and the refrigerator door 11. For example, when the position of the cabinet door 21 needs to be adjusted to make the position of the cabinet door 21 higher, the stud bolt 4 can be rotated to increase the distance between the gasket 41 and the refrigerator door 11. When the position of the cabinet door 21 needs to be adjusted to make the position of the cabinet door 21 lower, the stud bolt 4 can be rotated to reduce the distance between the gasket 41 and the refrigerator door 11. When the gasket 41 abuts against the refrigerator door 11, it is the lowest position of the cabinet door 21. Therefore, when the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11 are connected together through the connecting plate 3, it is first necessary to predetermine the approximate position of the first connecting plate 31 set on the cabinet door 21, and then after the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11 are connected through the connecting plate 3, the position of the cabinet door 21 is finely adjusted by rotating the stud bolt 4.

[0059] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the connection hole 321 is a rectangular hole, and the connection hole 321 includes a symmetrically arranged first side 3211 and a symmetrically arranged second side 3212, and the length of the first side 3211 and the length of the second side 3212 are both greater than the diameter of the stud bolt 4; the length of the first side 3211 and the length of the second side 3212 are both less than the diameter of the gasket 41. By setting the connection hole 321 as a rectangular hole, and the length of the first side 3211 and the length of the second side 3212 are both greater than the diameter of the stud bolt 4. For example, the first side 3211 is the longer side of the rectangular hole, and the second side 3212 is the shorter side of the rectangular hole, and by adjusting the position of the stud bolt 4 in the rectangular hole, the distance between the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11 can be adjusted.

[0060] For example, Figure 8 As shown, taking the refrigerator door 11 with a higher horizontal height as an example, when the refrigerator door 11 is connected to the cabinet door 21 through the connecting plate 3, the connecting hole 321 on the right and the connecting hole 321 on the left respectively connect the connecting plate 3 to the refrigerator door 11 through the stud bolts 4. For the convenience of description, the stud bolt 4 of the right connecting hole 321 is named as the right stud bolt 4, and the stud bolt 4 of the left connecting hole 321 is named as the left stud bolt 4. When the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11 are connected through the connecting plate 3, the refrigerator door 11 is closed, and it can be observed whether the gap between the cabinet door 21 and the cabinet body 2 is uneven. When the refrigerator door 11 is closed, the right side of the cabinet door 21 protrudes from the cabinet body 2, and the left side of the cabinet door 21 sinks into the cabinet body 2. The nut 42 on the left stud bolt 4 can be loosened, and the nut 42 on the right stud bolt 4 can be loosened. Then, the left stud bolt 4 is controlled to move a certain distance toward the first side edge 3211 in the direction close to the first connecting plate 31, so that the distance between the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11 becomes larger, and the left side of the cabinet door 21 can be moved away from the refrigerator door 11, so that the left side of the cabinet door 21 does not sink into the cabinet body 2. Then, the right stud bolt 4 is controlled to move a certain distance toward the first side edge 3211 in the direction away from the first connecting plate 31, so that the distance between the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11 becomes smaller, so that the right side of the cabinet door 21 can be moved toward the refrigerator door 11, so that the right side of the cabinet door 21 does not protrude from the cabinet body 2.

[0061] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, Figure 7 for Figure 6 A magnified view of the structure at center. Fig. 9 for Figure 8 In the enlarged view of the structure at point B, by setting the connecting hole 321 to be rectangular and the length of the second side 3212 to be greater than the diameter of the stud bolt 4, the distance from both sides of the cabinet door 21 to the cabinet body 2 can be adjusted by controlling the position of the stud bolt 4 in the connecting hole 321.

[0062] For example, after the refrigerator door 11 is connected to the cabinet door 21 through the connecting plate 3, the refrigerator door 11 is closed, and the width of the gap formed between the cabinet door 21 and the cabinet body 2 on both sides is observed to be the same. If the width of the gap formed between the cabinet body 2 and the cabinet door 21 on the right side is smaller than the width of the gap formed on the left side, the stud bolt 4 can be moved to the left along the length direction of the first side edge 3211 by a certain distance to widen the width of the gap formed between the cabinet body 2 and the cabinet door 21 on the right side. If the width of the gap formed between the cabinet body 2 and the cabinet door 21 on the right side is larger than the width of the gap formed on the left side, the stud bolt 4 can be moved to the right along the length direction of the first side edge 3211 by a certain distance to narrow the width of the gap formed between the cabinet body 2 and the cabinet door 21 on the right side.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the refrigerator door 11 and the cabinet door 21 are connected together by using the connecting plate 3, and the connecting hole 321 is set on the first connecting plate 31, and the lengths of the first side 3211 and the second side 3212 of the connecting hole 321 are both greater than the diameter of the stud 4. By adjusting the position of the stud 4 in the connecting hole 321, the distance between the cabinet door 21 and the cabinet body 2, and the distance between the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11 can be controlled. At the same time, the distance between the gasket 41 and the refrigerator door 11 can be controlled by rotating the stud 4, so that the upper and lower positions of the cabinet door 21 can be adjusted. By using the built-in refrigerator installation device, the problem of difficult installation of the cabinet door 21 when installing the built-in refrigerator can be solved.

[0064] When the refrigerator door 11 is connected to the cabinet door 21 through the connecting plate 3, in order to facilitate the connection between the connecting plate 3 and the refrigerator door 11, the refrigerator door 11 will reserve a hole connected to the stud bolt 4. In some embodiments, the refrigerator door 11 is provided with a decorative strip 111, a foaming box 112 and a reinforcing plate 113. In the installation process of the refrigerator door 11, it is necessary to extract and connect the reinforcing plate 113 with the decorative strip 111, and finally wrap the reinforcing plate 113 with the foaming box 112, that is, the foaming box 112 and the reinforcing plate 113 form a closed space. When the refrigerator door 11 is foamed, it can be ensured that the foaming liquid will not enter the foaming box 112. By reserving space in the foaming box 112, the stud bolt 4 will not be affected by the foaming liquid when it is screwed into the refrigerator door 11.

[0065] The decorative strip 111 is provided with a first through hole 1111, the reinforcing plate 113 is provided with a second through hole 1121, and the foaming box 112 is provided with a third through hole 1131. During installation, it is necessary to align the first through hole 1111, the second through hole 1121 and the third through hole 1131, and then fit one side of the reinforcing plate 113 with the decorative strip 111, and fit the other side of the reinforcing plate 113 with the foaming box 112. The first through hole 1111, the second through hole 1121 and the third through hole 1131 are coaxially arranged, and the stud bolt 4 passes through the first through hole 1111, the second through hole 1121 and the third through hole 1131 in sequence to be connected to the refrigerator door 11, so as to facilitate the connection of the stud bolt 4 with the refrigerator door 11.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the second through hole 1121 is provided with a thread, and the reinforcing plate 113 is threadedly connected with the stud bolt 4 through the second through hole 1121. During installation, one end of the stud bolt 4 is sequentially inserted into the first through hole 1111, the second through hole 1121 and the third through hole 1131. When the stud bolt 4 is inserted into the second through hole 1121, it needs to be rotated continuously before it can be screwed into the foam box 112.

[0067] It can be understood that when the connecting plate 3 is connected to the cabinet door 21, when the cabinet door 21 is connected to the refrigerator door 11 through the stud bolt 4, since the stud bolt 4 can move in the connecting hole 321, the first through hole 1111 is not provided with threads, which facilitates the stud bolt 4 to enter the first through hole 1111 and position the stud bolt 4. If the first through hole 1111 is also provided with threads, it is necessary to align the stud bolt 4 with the first through hole 1111 and then rotate the stud bolt 4 to screw it into the first through hole 1111. In the present application, the first through hole 1111 is not provided with threads. After the stud bolt 4 is aligned with the first through hole 1111, it can be directly inserted into the first through hole 1111 and aligned with the second through hole 1121. The stud bolt 4 can be directly rotated to screw it into the foaming box 112.

[0068] In some embodiments, Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the outer side of the reinforcing plate 113 is provided with a first flange structure 1122, the second through hole 1121 is provided with a second flange structure 1123, the second flange structure 1123 is inserted into the third through hole 1131, and the reinforcing plate 113 is clamped with the foam box 112 through the first flange structure 1122 and the second flange structure 1123. Among them, the second flange structure 1123 is cylindrical and can be inserted into the third through hole 1131, so that the reinforcing plate 113 is connected with the foam box 112, and the first flange structure 1122 abuts against the outer side of the foam box 112, so that the reinforcing plate 113 is clamped with the foam box 112.

[0069] In some embodiments, when the first side edge 3211 of the connection hole 321 near the first connection plate 31 abuts against the stud 4, the distance between the refrigerator door 11 and the cabinet door 21 is a first distance, and when the first side edge 3211 of the connection hole 321 away from the first connection plate 31 abuts against the stud 4, the distance between the refrigerator door 11 and the cabinet door 21 is a second distance, and the first distance is smaller than the second distance. That is, when the stud 4 moves in the connection hole 321 along the second side edge 3212, the distance between the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11 can be adjusted. When the first side edge 3211 of the connection hole 321 near the first connection plate 31 abuts against the stud 4, the distance between the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11 is the largest, and when the first side edge 3211 of the connection hole 321 away from the first connection plate 31 abuts against the stud 4, the distance between the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11 is the smallest.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first connecting plate 31 is connected to the cabinet door 21 by screws, and the first connecting plate 31 is provided with holes for the screws to pass through. After the refrigerator 1 is embedded in the cabinet body 2, the cabinet door 21 can be aligned with the refrigerator door 11, and then the connection position of the connecting plate 3 and the cabinet door 21 can be determined. For example, after the second connecting plate 32 of the connecting plate 3 is first connected to the refrigerator door 11 by the stud bolt 4, the cabinet door 21 is fitted with the refrigerator door 11. At this time, the first connecting plate 31 is fitted with the cabinet door 21, and then the holes reserved on the first connecting plate 31 can be marked on the cabinet door 21, and then the marked position on the cabinet door 21 can be punched, and then the first connecting plate 31 can be connected to the cabinet door 21 by screws, or, after the refrigerator door 11 is connected to the first connecting plate 31, screws are directly used to pass through the holes on the first connecting plate 31 to directly connect the cabinet door 21 to the first connecting plate 31.

[0071] After the cabinet door 21 is connected to the refrigerator door 11 through the connecting plate 3, the refrigerator door 11 and the cabinet door 21 can be fixed at the other end of the refrigerator door 11 through the L-shaped plate 5 to support the refrigerator door 11. Therefore, in some embodiments, the built-in refrigerator installation device provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes an L-shaped plate 5, the L-shaped plate 5 is connected to the cabinet door 21, and the end of the refrigerator door 11 away from the connecting plate 3 abuts against the L-shaped plate 5. For example, when the refrigerator 1 is provided with two refrigerator doors 11, after the upper end of each refrigerator door 11 is connected to the cabinet door 21 through the connecting plate 3, the other side of the refrigerator door 11 can be connected to the cabinet door 21 through the L-shaped plate 5, and the L-shaped plate 5 abuts against the refrigerator door 11, which can play a role in supporting the refrigerator door 11.

[0072] When the cabinet door 21 is connected to the refrigerator door 11 through the connecting plate 3, in order to prevent the position of the stud bolt 4 from changing and causing an uneven gap between the cabinet door 21 and the cabinet body 2, in some embodiments, the gasket 41 is provided with anti-slip grooves on one side close to the second connecting plate 32. By providing anti-slip grooves on one side of the gasket 41 close to the second connecting plate 32, when the nut 42 is rotated so that the nut 42 and the gasket 41 clamp the second connecting plate 32, the threaded setting of the gasket 41 can increase the friction between the gasket 41 and the second connecting plate 32.

[0073] At the same time, threads can also be set at the position where the second connecting plate 32 contacts the gasket 41. When the nut 42 and the gasket 41 clamp the second connecting plate 32, the threads on the second connecting plate 32 and the threads on the gasket 41 engage with each other. When pressure is applied between the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11, the distance between the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11 will not change, thereby improving the connection stability between the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11.

[0074] In some embodiments, the cabinet door 21 is connected to the cabinet body 2 through the hinge 6. When the cabinet door 21 and the refrigerator door 11 are connected, the cabinet door 21 and the cabinet body 2 can be connected together through the hinge 6. Figure 4 As shown, the hinge 6 is arranged on the same side of the cabinet door 21, and the horizontal height of the hinge 6 is higher than the horizontal height of the connecting plate 3. When the cabinet door 21 is opened, the cabinet door 21 drives the refrigerator door 11 to open, and when the cabinet door 21 is closed, the cabinet door 21 drives the refrigerator door 11 to close.

[0075] In some embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, an embodiment of the present application further provides a refrigerator, comprising a refrigerator door 11 and the built-in refrigerator installation device provided in the above embodiment, wherein the refrigerator door 11 is connected to the cabinet door 21 through the built-in refrigerator installation device.

[0076] Specifically, during the pre-assembly process of the refrigerator door 11, the reinforcing plate 113 is pre-installed on the decorative strip 111, and the reinforcing plate 113 is fixed by setting a claw on the decorative strip 111, and then the reinforcing plate 113 is wrapped by the foaming box 112 to ensure that the foaming liquid does not enter the foaming lining box when the refrigerator door 11 is foamed. When the foaming liquid of the refrigerator door 11 solidifies and the refrigerator door 11 is assembled, the refrigerator door 11 is installed together with the box body of the refrigerator 1 to form the refrigerator 1.

[0077] When the refrigerator 1 needs to be embedded in the cabinet 2, the refrigerator 1 needs to be placed in the cabinet 2 first, and then the connecting plate 3 is connected to the upper end of the refrigerator door 11. When the refrigerator door 11 needs to be opened, the refrigerator door 11 is opened by opening the cabinet door 21. Therefore, any refrigerator door 11 on the refrigerator 1 needs to be connected to the connecting plate 3. For example, when the refrigerator 1 is provided with a refrigerating chamber and a freezing chamber, the refrigerator 1 is provided with two refrigerator doors 11, and the upper ends of the refrigerator door 11 corresponding to the refrigerating chamber and the refrigerator door 11 corresponding to the freezing chamber are connected to the connecting plate 3, and each refrigerator door 11 is correspondingly connected to the cabinet door 21. When the refrigerator 1 is provided with a refrigerating chamber, a freezing chamber and a temperature-changing chamber, the refrigerator 1 is provided with three refrigerator doors 11, and the three refrigerator doors 11 are connected to the connecting plate 3, and each refrigerator door 11 is correspondingly connected to the cabinet door 21.

[0078] Therefore, taking the refrigerator door 11 corresponding to the refrigerating chamber as an example, after the refrigerator 1 is embedded in the cabinet 2, the stud bolt 4 is inserted into the first through hole 1111 reserved at the decorative strip 111 at the upper end of the refrigerator door 11, and then the stud bolt 4 is screwed into the refrigerator door 11 until the gasket 41 abuts against the decorative strip 111. After the refrigerator door 11 is connected with the stud bolt 4, the stud bolt 4 is inserted into the second connecting plate 32, and after the end of the stud bolt 4 away from the decorative strip 111 is connected to the nut 42, it is also necessary to determine the connection position of the cabinet door 21 and the first connecting plate 31.

[0079] After the cabinet door 21 is aligned with the refrigerator door 11, screws are passed through the holes on the first connecting plate 31 and screwed into the cabinet door 21 to connect the cabinet door 21 to the first connecting plate 31. The installation method of the other refrigerator doors 11 and cabinet door 21 of the refrigerator 1 is the same.

[0080] After the refrigerator door 11 is connected to the cabinet door 21, the distance between the cabinet door 21 and the cabinet body 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the distance that the stud bolt 4 is screwed into the refrigerator door 11 and adjusting the position of the stud bolt 4 in the connecting hole 321. After the gap between the cabinet door 21 and the cabinet body 2 is uniform, the nut 42 on the stud bolt 4 is tightened.

[0081] Finally, the cabinet door 21 and the door body are respectively installed and fixed together through the L-shaped plate 5 on the other side of the refrigerator door 11.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, by using an embedded refrigerator installation device, when the refrigerator 1 is embedded in the cabinet 2, the refrigerator door 11 and the cabinet door 21 are connected together, and the distance between the cabinet door 21 and the cabinet 2 is adjusted to solve the problem of difficulty in installing the cabinet door 21 when installing the embedded refrigerator.

[0083] It can be seen from the above technical scheme that the present application provides a built-in refrigerator installation device and a refrigerator, the built-in refrigerator installation device includes a connecting plate 3, the connecting plate 3 includes a first connecting plate 31 and a second connecting plate 32 that are perpendicular to each other; the first connecting plate 31 is connected to the cabinet door 21; the second connecting plate 32 is provided with at least two connecting holes 321; a stud bolt 4, a gasket 41 is provided in the middle of the stud bolt 4, a nut 42 is provided at one end of the stud bolt 4, one end of the stud bolt 4 is connected to the refrigerator door 11; the other end of the stud bolt 4 is penetrated The connecting hole 321 is threadedly connected with the nut 42; one side of the gasket 41 abuts against the side of the second connecting plate 32 away from the first connecting plate 31, and the other side of the gasket 41 abuts against the refrigerator door 11; the connecting hole 321 is a rectangular hole, and the connecting hole 321 includes a symmetrical first side 3211 and a second side 3212, and the length of the first side 3211 and the length of the second side 3212 are both greater than the diameter of the stud 4; the length of the first side 3211 and the length of the second side 3212 are both less than the diameter of the gasket 41. By setting the size of the connecting hole 321 to be greater than the diameter of the stud 4, the cabinet door 21 can be adjusted to move left and right or forward and backward during installation. At the same time, the stud 4 is provided with a gasket 41, and the gasket 41 is driven to move up and down by rotating the stud 4, and then the hanging plate is driven to move up and down by the gasket 41. During the installation process, the cabinet door 21 can be adjusted to make the gap between the cabinet door 21 and the cabinet body 2 uniform, so as to solve the problem of difficulty in installing the cabinet door 21 when the built-in refrigerator 1 is installed.
