DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] With users' pursuit of space utilization and fashionable appearance, the embedded installation method of installing built-in refrigerators in users' cabinets and installing the same cabinet panels as the cabinets on the refrigerator doors has gradually become popular. This assembly method looks very simple in overall appearance, and the styles of the refrigerator and cabinets are perfectly integrated.

[0037] In the prior art, a bracket is usually hung on the top of the cabinet door, the bracket is connected to the cabinet board, and the cabinet door and cabinet board are positioned by the special-shaped screws and waist-shaped holes on the bracket. When the positions of the cabinet board and the cabinet door are roughly determined, they can be fine-tuned by locking screws and waist-shaped holes. Adjustment methods such as waist-shaped holes and locking screws are difficult to achieve controllable adjustment and are difficult to operate. This causes dimensional deviations between the cabinet door and the cabinet board of the refrigerator, and then uneven gaps appear around the cabinet board and the cabinet. In addition, for refrigerators over 1.5 meters, the bracket is set on the top of the cabinet door, and the installer needs to frequently use a ladder to make fine adjustments. During the installation process, a long period of fine adjustment is required, and the installation efficiency is low.

[0038] First embodiment

[0039] The present application embodiment provides a refrigerator 100, see Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The refrigerator 100 includes a refrigerator body 10 and a hanging assembly 20, the hanging assembly 20 is detachably connected to the refrigerator body 10, and the hanging assembly 20 can be used to connect the cabinet plate 60, and the relative position relationship between the cabinet plate 60 and the refrigerator body 10 can be adjusted by using the adjuster 21 of the hanging assembly 20. The relative position relationship between the cabinet plate 60 and the refrigerator body 10 includes but is not limited to the height difference between the two, the minimum distance between the two, the angle between the cabinet plate 60 and the ground, and the angle between the refrigerator body 10 and the ground.

[0040] The material, shape, type, etc. of the cabinet panel 60 are designed and selected according to the needs of different usage scenarios to achieve personalized pursuit, and this embodiment is not limited. Among them, the cabinet panel 60 can be solid wood, artificial cabinet panel, steel cabinet panel, etc. Exemplarily, the solid wood cabinet panel can be made of pure natural wood, and further, the cabinet panel 60 can be made of oak, pine, cherry wood, etc. Artificial cabinet panels may include particleboards, medium-density fiberboards, and high-density fiberboards, etc., and artificial cabinet panels can be pressed by wood chips, fibers or particles and adhesives to make the cabinet panel 60 have a smoother and more consistent appearance. Steel cabinet panels can be used in commercial kitchens or industrial-style home kitchens because they are durable and easy to clean and maintain.

[0041] Preferably, the shape of the cabinet panel 60 can be adapted to the shape of the refrigerator body 10. For example, the outer surface of the refrigerator body 10 includes a curved surface, and the cabinet panel 60 can be configured as a corresponding curved surface. The cabinet panel 60 can cover the curved surface so that the refrigerator body 10 and the cabinet 70 are integrated with each other, which is simple and beautiful.

[0042] See also Figure 2The refrigerator body 10 may include a cabinet 11 and a cabinet door 12. A storage cavity may be formed in the cabinet 11. The storage cavity may be used to store food, medicine, etc. The storage cavity may include one or more grids, trays, and interlayers, etc., and the internal space of the storage cavity may be divided. The cabinet 11 may be a metal cabinet, a plastic cabinet, etc. For example, the cabinet 11 may be a metal cabinet. The metal cabinet has the characteristics of high strength and high thermal conductivity, which can ensure that the heat inside the refrigerator body 10 is quickly dissipated, and the cabinet 11 has a certain strength to buffer external impact or internal equipment vibration, so as to protect the internal machinery of the refrigerator body 10 and maintain its stability.

[0043] The surface of the cabinet door 12 can be made of at least one of acrylic glass, tempered glass, stainless steel, etc. For example, acrylic glass can be set on the surface of the stainless steel cabinet door 12, and the acrylic glass can ensure the cleanliness of the cabinet door 12 and prevent oil stains from adhering to the surface of the cabinet door 12. And the stainless steel cabinet door 12 can provide a certain strength to ensure the service life of the cabinet door 12. In addition to the metal structure and the outer glass structure, the cabinet door 12 is also filled with insulation materials, including but not limited to polystyrene foam, etc., to prevent the internal cold air from overflowing and improve the energy consumption ratio of the refrigerator body 10.

[0044] In another embodiment, the cabinet door 12 can be composed of both acrylic glass and stainless steel. The frame can be constructed using metal materials such as stainless steel, and then acrylic glass is attached to the frame. The acrylic glass covers the metal materials such as stainless steel. The metal material has a certain strength to protect the internal equipment of the refrigerator body 10, and the acrylic glass can be used to ensure the cleanliness of the surface.

[0045] The cabinet door 12 is rotatably connected to the cabinet body 11. In one embodiment, the cabinet door 12 and the cabinet body 11 are connected by hinges. The number of hinges can be at least two. At least two hinges can be respectively arranged at the top and bottom of the cabinet body 11, and at least two hinges can be coaxially arranged. The number of cabinet doors can be one or more, and at least two hinges are respectively connected at both ends of each cabinet door 12 so that the cabinet door 12 can stably rotate with the cabinet body 11. Exemplarily, the number of cabinet doors 12 can be at least two, and when the two cabinet doors 12 are of an upper and lower structure, hinges can be respectively arranged at both ends of the two cabinet doors 12 to ensure that both cabinet doors 12 can rotate normally.

[0046] In a more specific embodiment, hinges are arranged at both ends of the cabinet 11, and the cabinet 11 and the cabinet door 12 are arranged opposite to each other. The hinge can extend along the cabinet 11 toward the cabinet door 12 to form a connecting portion. Both ends of the cabinet door 12 include fixing holes, etc. The connecting portion is passed through the fixing holes so that the cabinet door 12 can be rotatably arranged relative to the hinge, and then the cabinet door 12 can be arranged relative to the cabinet 11, so that the storage cavity can be selectively closed or opened, which is convenient for placing or taking out items in the storage cavity, and ensuring the closure of the storage cavity to ensure the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator body 10.

[0047] The cabinet door 12 has a mounting surface 121 and a side surface 122 for mounting the cabinet panel 60. The side surface 122 is connected to the mounting surface 121, and the mounting surface 121 is used for mounting the cabinet panel 60. When the cabinet door 12 is closed, the surface of the cabinet door 12 away from the mounting surface 121 can cover a surface of the cabinet body 11. The side surface 122 can be the outer surface of both sides of the cabinet door 12.

[0048] In this example, please continue to refer to Figure 2 The cabinet 70 forms a receiving cavity 71, and the receiving cavity 71 includes an entrance. The cabinet plate 60 is connected to the cabinet door 12, and the cabinet plate 60 can be rotatably arranged relative to the cabinet body 11 together with the cabinet door 12. The cabinet plate 60 is arranged opposite to the entrance, that is, the cabinet plate 60 can cover the entrance, so that the cabinet plate 60 and the cabinet 70 are integrated in appearance, and the refrigerator body 10 can be hidden in the receiving cavity 71, ensuring the overall aesthetics of the cabinet 70. Preferably, the surface of the refrigerator body 10 away from the cabinet plate 60 can be flush with the entrance, so as to avoid the cabinet plate 60 protruding or sunken in the entrance, which can ensure the overall integration of the cabinet 70 and the cabinet plate 60, and further enhance the neatness of the cabinet 70 and the refrigerator 100.

[0049] In one embodiment, the size parameters of the accommodating cavity 71 of the cabinet 70 are set corresponding to the refrigerator body 10, for example, the width of the refrigerator body 10 is the same as the width of the accommodating cavity 71, the length of the refrigerator body 10 is the same as the length of the accommodating cavity 71, etc. This ensures that the refrigerator body 10 can smoothly enter the accommodating cavity 71 of the cabinet 70, further improving the neatness of the cabinet 70 and the refrigerator 100.

[0050] In one embodiment, the shape of the cabinet 70 and the shape of the refrigerator body 10 correspond to each other. For example, the refrigerator body 10 can be cylindrical, the cabinet 70 can be configured as a cylindrical shape, and the shape of the accommodating cavity 71 of the cabinet 70 is changed accordingly so that the refrigerator body 10 can smoothly enter the accommodating cavity 71 of the cabinet 70.

[0051] In one embodiment, when the refrigerator body 10 is working, the surface temperature of the cabinet 11 will increase, and the heat on the surface of the cabinet 11 may be transferred to the cabinet 70, thereby damaging the cabinet 70 or the decorations of the cabinet 70. A gap may be configured between the cabinet 70 and the cabinet 11, and the gap can prevent the cabinet 11 from directly contacting the cabinet 70. The heat on the surface of the cabinet 11 can be discharged from the gap, thereby increasing the service life of the cabinet 70 and protecting the normal operation of the refrigerator body 10. In addition, the gap between the cabinet 70 and the cabinet 11 is set to reserve the rotation space of the cabinet door 12 to prevent the cabinet 70 from limiting the range of movement of the cabinet door 12. Among them, the width of the gap can be set according to the rotation range of the cabinet board 60 and the size relationship of the refrigerator body 10.

[0052] In this example, please continue to refer to Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 , in order to complete the installation of the cabinet board 60 and more conveniently adjust the relative position of the cabinet board 60 and the cabinet door 12. The hanging assembly 20 may include a plurality of regulators 21 and a hanging plate 22 suitable for being installed on the side 122 of the cabinet door 12. The hanging plate 22 is connected to the cabinet board 60, and the regulator 21 is detachably connected to the side 122 of the cabinet door 12. The regulator 21 can be connected to the hanging plate 22 and the cabinet door 12, and the regulator 21 can adjust the relative position of the hanging plate 22 and the cabinet door 12, thereby changing the relative position between the hanging plate 22 and the cabinet door 12 to reduce the size deviation between the cabinet 70 and the cabinet board 60. Preferably, the hanging plate 22 can be connected to the cabinet door 12 through a plurality of regulators 21 to ensure the stable connection between the hanging plate 22 and the cabinet door 12. And to avoid the hanging plate 22 being too heavy, a plurality of regulators 21 can share the load, further improving the stability of the refrigerator 100.

[0053] It is understandable that the number and specific positions of the regulators 21 may be set according to specific parameters such as the size and weight of the specific cabinet board 22, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0054] In a more specific embodiment, the hanging plate 22 may include a first connecting plate 221 and a second connecting plate 222 connected to each other, and the second connecting plate 222 is bent relative to the first connecting plate 221, that is, an angle is formed between the first connecting plate 221 and the second connecting plate 222, and the angle may be 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110°, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment. The first connecting plate 221 is provided with one or more hanging ports 223, and the hanging port 223 may be formed at one end of the first connecting plate 221 away from the second connecting plate 222. The hanging port 223 is detachably suspended on the regulator 21 and attached to the side 122, and the regulator 21 may be provided with a connecting member such as a hanging nail, which may be hung on the hanging port 223 through the hanging nail. Among them, the connecting member may also be provided as a hanging nail, a hanging buckle, etc. protruding from the side 122, and the connecting member may be arranged relative to the hanging port 223. Alternatively, the number of the connecting members may be multiple, and the multiple connecting members may correspond to the multiple hanging ports 223 , so that the connecting members can be smoothly connected to the hanging ports.

[0055] It is understandable that the plurality of hanging interfaces 223 may be spaced apart along the length direction of the first connecting plate 221 . Optionally, the connecting member of the adjuster 21 may select different hanging interfaces 223 to change the positional relationship of the hanging plate 22 and the cabinet panel 60 relative to the cabinet door 12 .

[0056] The second connecting plate 222 is suitable for being attached to the mounting surface 121 and used to connect the cabinet panel so that the cabinet panel completely covers the mounting surface. The second connecting plate 222 is suitable for connecting the cabinet panel 60, and the second connecting plate 222 can be connected to the cabinet panel 60 by threaded connection, bonding, etc. For example, the second connecting plate 222 is threadedly connected to the cabinet panel 60, the cabinet panel 60 can be provided with a threaded hole, and the second connecting plate 222 includes a through hole. Bolts can be inserted into the through hole and connected with the threaded hole to complete a stable connection between the cabinet panel 60 and the second connecting plate 222.

[0057] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3The hanging assembly 20 also includes a connecting piece 23, which is suitable for connecting with the cabinet panel 60 and can be connected with the second connecting plate 222. The connecting piece 23 and the cabinet panel 60 can be connected by different methods such as threaded connection and riveting, which are not limited in this embodiment. The connecting piece 23 can be connected with the second connecting plate 222. In a more specific embodiment, the connecting piece 23 can be bonded with the second connecting plate 222. The hanging assembly 20 can also include a double-sided tape, which can be used to bond the connecting piece 23 and the second connecting plate 222. The double-sided tape can be bonded to one of the connecting piece 23 and the second connecting plate 222, and the first connecting plate 221 can be hung on the regulator 21. After determining the relative position of the cabinet panel 60 and the second connecting plate 222, the double-sided tape can be bonded to the connecting piece 23 and the second connecting plate 222 to ensure that the relative position of the cabinet panel 60 and the cabinet door 12 is within the adjustment range of the regulator 21.

[0058] The double-sided tape can be ordinary double-sided tape, foam double-sided tape, industrial double-sided tape, etc. This embodiment does not limit it. The appropriate type of double-sided tape can be selected according to actual usage requirements to ensure the adhesion effect and durability.

[0059] In one embodiment, a conventional double-sided tape may be composed of a film substrate and an adhesive layer for light bonding.

[0060] In one embodiment, the foamed double-sided tape has strong adhesive force and cushioning performance, is made of foam material, and is suitable for various smooth or uneven surfaces.

[0061] In one embodiment, the industrial double-sided tape may have stronger bonding strength and high temperature and chemical resistance.

[0062] In some other embodiments, the hanging assembly 20 may further include an adhesive, which can be used to bond the connecting sheet 23 to the second connecting plate 222. The adhesive may be a UV adhesive, etc. The UV adhesive can be quickly hardened and cured after being exposed to ultraviolet light. When the relative position of the cabinet board 60 and the second connecting plate 222 is determined, ultraviolet light can be used to irradiate the UV adhesive between the cabinet board 60 and the second connecting plate 222 to relatively fix them. The type of the appropriate adhesive can be selected according to actual use requirements to ensure adhesion effect and durability.

[0063] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 as well as Figure 4The regulator 21 includes a shell 211, a first slider 212, a first adjustment screw 213, a second slider 214, a first hanger 215, a second adjustment screw 216 and a third slider 217. The shell 211 is connected to the cabinet door 12. The shell 211 can be set on the left and right surfaces of the cabinet door 12 distributed in the horizontal direction. A sliding cavity is set in the shell 211. The shell 211 has a first through hole 232 and a second through hole 234. The axial directions of the first through hole 232 and the second through hole 234 can be the same. The first through hole 232 and the second through hole 234 are connected to the sliding cavity, so that the inside of the sliding cavity can be connected with the external environment. The first slider 212 can be slidably set in the sliding cavity. The first slider 212 is provided with an axial direction along the first direction (such as Figure 4 The first slider 212 can slide along the first direction by means of a first threaded hole 231 (shown as x in FIG. 1 ). The first adjusting screw 213 can pass through the first through hole 232 and threadably engage with the first threaded hole 231. In the first direction, the first adjusting screw 213 is relatively fixed to the housing 211. When the first adjusting screw 213 rotates, the outer thread of the first adjusting screw 213 pushes the inner thread of the first slider 21, so that the first adjusting screw 213 drives the first slider 21 to slide along the first direction.

[0064] The third slider 217 moves along the second direction (eg Figure 4 The third slider 217 is slidably disposed in the sliding cavity (as shown in y of FIG. 1 ). In the first direction, the third slider 217 is relatively fixed to the housing 211. When the first slider 212 slides along the first direction, the first slider 212 can drive the third slider 217, so that when the third slider 217 slides along the second direction, the third slider 217 can drive the second slider 214 to slide along the second direction.

[0065] For more details, please refer to Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The third slider 217 is provided with a second slide groove 236, and the second slide groove 236 is along the third direction (such as Figure 4 The third direction is arranged to intersect both the first direction and the second direction. Exemplarily, the first direction and the second direction may be perpendicular to each other, that is, the angle between the first direction and the second direction is 90°, and the angle between the third direction and the first direction and the second direction is 45°. The first slider 212 is provided with a connecting pin, which may protrude from the first slider 212, be embedded in the second slide groove 236, and be slidably arranged in the second slide groove 236. When the first slider 212 slides along the first direction, the connecting pin of the first slider 212 also slides along the first direction. When the connecting pin slides along the first direction, the connecting pin slides to different positions of the second slide groove 236. In order to change the distance between the first slider 212 and the third slider 217, the third slider 217 is connected to the second slider 214, and the second slider 214 is driven to slide along the second direction.

[0066] One end of the first hanging nail 215 is connected to the third slider 217, and the other end extends out of the housing 211, so that the first hanging nail 215 can slide together with the third slider 217, so that the first hanging nail 215 can slide along the second direction. The second threaded hole 233 and the second slider 214 are driven to slide along the first direction for adjustment.

[0067] The second slider 214 is provided with a second threaded hole 233 arranged along the first direction in the axial direction. One end of the first hanging nail 215 is connected to the third slider 217, and the other end extends out of the housing 211. The second adjusting screw 216 is threadedly matched with the second threaded hole 233 to drive the second slider 214 to slide along the first direction. Specifically, the second adjusting screw 216 passes through the second through hole 234 and matches with the thread of the second threaded hole 233. When the second adjusting screw 216 is rotated, the second slider 214 can be driven to slide along the first direction. In the first direction, the second adjusting screw 216 is relatively fixed to the housing 211. The second slider 214 is slidably assembled with the first slider 212, and when the second adjusting screw 216 is rotated, the outer thread of the second adjusting screw 216 pushes the inner thread of the second slider 214, so that the second adjusting screw 216 drives the second slider 214 to slide along the first direction.

[0068] The third slider 217 is provided with a first slide groove 235 extending along the first direction. One end of the first nail 215 is connected to the third slider 217 and embedded in the first slide groove 235. The first slide groove allows the first nail 215 to slide along the first slide groove 235. The third slider 217 is prevented from interfering with the sliding of the first nail 215 along the first direction, ensuring that the second slider 214 can smoothly drive the first nail 215. The position of the second slider 214 can be adjusted by screw rotation to achieve the sliding and fine-tuning functions of the adjuster 21 in the first direction, thereby driving the cabinet board 60 to move along the first direction and adjusting the distance between the cabinet board 60 and the cabinet door 12. In this way, the cabinet board 60 is flush with the opening of the cabinet 70, and the cabinet board 60 and the cabinet 70 are integrated with each other.

[0069] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The adjuster 21 of the hanging assembly 20 is detachably connected to the edge of the cabinet door 12, and the hanging interface 223 is detachably hung on the first hanging nail 215 of the adjuster 21, so that the first connecting plate 221 can be firmly connected to the edge of the cabinet door 12. In one embodiment, the adjuster 21 is detachably connected to the side edge of the cabinet door 12, and the side edge is the edge of the side of the cabinet door 12. And when adjustment or maintenance is required, the adjuster can be conveniently removed from the cabinet door 12. The adjuster 21 is easy to install and remove, reducing the workload of maintenance or replacement.

[0070] Among them, the angles between the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are not unique, and can be set according to specific usage requirements, implementation scenarios, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0071] In one embodiment, the second through hole 234 can be configured as a strip hole extending along the second direction. Specifically, the second through hole 234 can be in the shape of a long strip, and the second through hole 234 extends along the second direction. When the second slider 214 slides along the second direction, the second adjustment screw 216 connected to the second slider 214 can move along the second through hole 234. The extended shape of the strip hole makes positioning and adjustment more flexible, and the second slider 214 can slide within a certain range. This prevents the second through hole 234 from interfering with the movement of the second slider 214 and limits the sliding range of the second slider 214, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the second slider 214.

[0072] Preferably, both ends of the second through hole 234 along the second direction may be rounded, for example, the second through hole 234 may be a waist-shaped hole. When the second adjusting screw 216 slides to both ends of the second through hole 234, the contact area between the housing 211 and the second adjusting screw 216 is larger, so that the second adjusting screw 216 can bear a larger load, thereby improving the stability of the hanging assembly 20.

[0073] In one embodiment, in order to prevent the hanging port 223 from being separated from the first hanging nail 215, the first hanging nail 215 is provided with an annular groove 217, and the annular groove 217 is located at the portion of the first hanging nail 215 extending out of the housing 211, and the hanging port 223 can be hung on the first hanging nail 215 along the annular groove 217. Among them, the thickness of the first connecting plate 221 is adapted to the width of the annular groove 217, and the hanging port 223 can be smoothly hung in the annular groove 217 of the first hanging nail 215. And the hanging port 223 can be rounded to allow the first connecting plate 221 to be smoothly hung in the annular groove 217.

[0074] A plurality of hanging interfaces 223 are provided on the first connecting plate 221, and one of the plurality of hanging interfaces 223 can be selected to be connected to the first hanging nail 215 to meet the needs of different positions, thereby achieving more flexible installation and adjustment. The relative position of the first connecting plate 221 and the adjuster 21 is determined to achieve pre-positioning of the cabinet plate 60 and the cabinet door 12, thereby avoiding subsequent large-scale adjustment.

[0075] See also Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 The hanging assembly 20 also includes a plurality of limit plates 24, which can be detachably mounted on the end of the hanging plate 22. The limit plates 24 can be connected to the first connecting plate 221 and the surface of the cabinet door 12 away from the cabinet body 11, so that the first connecting plate 221 and the cabinet door 12 are relatively fixed to prevent the hanging plate 22 from flipping over.

[0076] In one embodiment, the limiting plate 24 may include a mounting portion 241 and a bending portion 242, wherein the mounting portion 241 may be connected to the cabinet door 12, and the bending portion 242 may be bent toward a side of the cabinet door 12 away from the cabinet body 11. A clamping space is formed between the bending portion 242 and the cabinet door 12, and the first connecting plate 221 may be disposed in the clamping space, and the bending portion 242 abuts against the first connecting plate 221 to limit the range of movement of the first connecting plate 221, so as to prevent the hanging plate 22 from falling off.

[0077] In one embodiment, at least two adjusters 21 may be respectively provided at both ends of the cabinet door 12 in the horizontal direction to adjust the distance between the two ends of the cabinet door 12 and the two ends of the cabinet board 60, so that the cabinet board 60 can be perpendicular to the ground, thereby improving the installation effect of the cabinet board 60. However, operating multiple adjusters 21 at the same time is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which reduces the installation efficiency.

[0078] The hook assembly 20 also includes another regulator, which is a first regulator 25 to distinguish it from the regulator 21 and facilitate subsequent description. The first regulator 25 is detachably connected to the edge of the cabinet door 12, and the first regulator 25 can move along a first direction. Figure 3 and Figure 7 The first adjuster 25 includes a housing 251, a fourth slider 252, a second peg 253 and a third adjusting screw 254. The fourth slider 252 is slidably disposed in the housing 251. The fourth slider 252 is provided with a third threaded hole 255 arranged along the first direction in the axial direction. The fourth slider 252 can be adjusted along the first direction by rotating the third adjusting screw 254. One end of the second peg 253 is connected to the fourth slider 252, and the other end extends out of the housing 251. The third adjusting screw 254 passes through the second through hole and is threadedly engaged with the third threaded hole 255, and is used to drive the fourth slider 252 to slide along the first direction. The first adjuster 25 and the adjuster 21 can be respectively disposed at both ends of the cabinet door 12 in the horizontal direction, and the distance between the cabinet board 60 and the cabinet door 12 in the first direction and the second direction can be adjusted by the adjuster 21. The first adjuster 25 can adjust the distance between the cabinet door 12 and the cabinet board 60 at one end away from the adjuster 21, thereby reducing the use of the adjuster 21 and improving the installation efficiency.

[0079] Preferably, the hanging interface 223 can extend along the second direction, and the second hanging nail 253 can slide along the hanging interface 223. When the adjuster 21 drives the first connecting plate 221 to move along the second direction, the second hanging nail 253 of the first adjuster 25 can slide along the hanging interface 223 to determine the relative position relationship between the cabinet plate 60 and the cabinet door 12, and ensure the stable operation of the hanging assembly 20. In addition, the extension range of the hanging interface 223 toward the second direction is greater than or equal to the adjustment range of the adjuster 21, so as to prevent the second hanging nail 253 of the first adjuster 25 from being separated from the hanging interface 223, and maintain the stability of the refrigerator 100.

[0080] The hook assembly 20 and refrigerator 100 provided in the present application, when installed, the adjuster 21 is arranged on the cabinet door 12 of the refrigerator 100, and the cabinet plate 60 can be hung on the first hanging nail 215. By rotating the first adjusting screw 213, the first hanging nail 215 can be driven to slide along the second direction, driving the cabinet plate 60 to move relative to the cabinet door 12 along the second direction. By rotating the second adjusting screw 216, the first hanging nail 215 can be driven to slide along the first direction, driving the cabinet plate 60 to move relative to the cabinet door 12 along the first direction. The cabinet plate 60 can move along the first direction and the second direction, and then the relative position between the cabinet plate 60 and the cabinet door 12 is adjusted, so that the cabinet door 12 and the cabinet plate 60 can be more convenient to operate during fine adjustment, improve the installation efficiency, and improve the installation effect and efficiency of the refrigerator 100.

[0081] Second embodiment

[0082] See also Figure 8 This embodiment further provides a refrigerator installation method, which can be applied to the aforementioned refrigerator 100. The refrigerator installation method includes the following steps S110-S130.

[0083] Step S110: providing the hanging assembly 20 in the above embodiment.

[0084] Step S120 : Install the adjuster 21 of the hanging assembly 20 on the side 122 of the cabinet door 12 of the refrigerator 100 , and connect the second connecting plate 222 of the hanging assembly 20 to the cabinet panel 60 .

[0085] The regulator 21 is installed on the side 122 of the cabinet door 12. For example, a mounting groove is provided on the side 122 of the cabinet door 12, the regulator 21 is placed in the mounting groove, the regulator 21 is adjusted to a predetermined position in the mounting groove, and the regulator 21 is fixed in the mounting groove by fasteners. When the regulator 21 is located at the predetermined position, the surface of the regulator 21 away from the cabinet door 12 can be flush with or lower than the side 122 of the cabinet door 12, and the first hanging nail 215 of the regulator 21 extends out of the side 122 of the cabinet door 12. This prevents the regulator 21 from interfering with the installation between the hanging plate 22 and the cabinet door 12, and ensures that the hanging plate 22 and the regulator 21 are smoothly hung.

[0086] After the regulator 21 is installed, the first connecting plate 221 of the hanging plate 22 is hung on the first hanging nail 215 of the regulator 21. The cabinet plate 60 and the second connecting plate 222 are locked by fasteners such as screws to fix the hanging plate 22 and the cabinet plate 60 to each other, thereby pre-positioning the cabinet plate 60 and the cabinet door 12.

[0087] As a more specific implementation, see Fig. 9The second connecting plate 222 of the hanging assembly 20 and the cabinet plate 60 can be connected according to the following steps S121-S123:

[0088] Step S121: providing the connecting sheet 2323 and the double-sided tape in the above embodiment;

[0089] Step S122: fix the connecting piece 23 to the cabinet board 60, and adhere one side of the double-sided tape to the surface of the connecting piece 23 away from the cabinet board 60;

[0090] The connecting piece 23 and the cabinet panel 60 are connected by fasteners such as screws. Specifically, the fasteners can be opened from the side of the connecting piece 23 away from the cabinet panel 60 and connected to the cabinet panel 60. When the cabinet panel 60 is installed on the cabinet door 12, the cabinet panel 60 can cover the fasteners to avoid exposure of the fasteners, thereby ensuring the aesthetics of the refrigerator 100.

[0091] Remove the adhesive paper on one surface of the double-sided tape and stick the surface to the end of the connecting piece 23 away from the cabinet board 60. In addition, the double-sided tape can be rolled away from the surface of the connecting piece 23 by a roller or pressed by hand to make the double-sided tape and the connecting piece 23 more firmly bonded.

[0092] Step S123: pre-position the hanging plate 22 and the connecting piece 23 by using double-sided tape, then remove the hanging plate 22, and fasten the hanging plate 22 and the cabinet plate 60 by screws.

[0093] The surface of the cabinet board 60 close to the connecting piece 23 is attached to the surface of the cabinet door 12 away from the cabinet board 60. In one embodiment, the refrigerator body 10 can be pushed into the cabinet 70 first, and then the cabinet board 60 is pre-positioned. For example, the relative position between the cabinet board 60 and the cabinet 70 can be adjusted so that the gap between the side 122 and the top surface of the cabinet board 60 and the cabinet 70 is approximately the same, and the cabinet board 60 can completely cover the cabinet door 12, that is, the pre-positioning of the cabinet board 60 is completed.

[0094] After the approximate positions of the cabinet board 60 and the cabinet door 12 are determined, the double-sided tape on the surface close to the hanging plate 22 is removed. And by pressing the end of the cabinet board 60 away from the connecting piece 23, the connection between the hanging plate 22 and the connecting piece 23 is made more stable.

[0095] The cabinet board 60 is removed, and the hanging board 22 is taken away from the cabinet door 12 together with the double-sided tape. Preferably, during the process of removing the hanging board 22, the hanging board 22 can be supported manually to keep the relative position between the hanging board 22 and the cabinet board 60 fixed to ensure the accuracy of the pre-positioning. Then, the hanging board 22 and the cabinet board 60 are locked with screws to make the hanging board 22, the connecting piece 23 and the cabinet board 60 relatively fixed.

[0096] Step S130: Hang the first connecting plate 221 of the hanging plate 22 on the adjuster 21, push the refrigerator 100 into a predetermined position of the cabinet 70, and adjust the adjuster 21 to change the position of the cabinet panel 60 and the cabinet door 12 of the refrigerator 100 so that the cabinet panel 60 completely covers the refrigerator 100.

[0097] The hanging interface 223 of the first connecting plate 221 is hung on the first hanging nail 215 of the regulator 21, and then the refrigerator 100 is pushed into the predetermined position of the cabinet 70. The predetermined position may be a position where the surface of the cabinet board 60 of the refrigerator 100 away from the cabinet door 12 is flush with one end of the cabinet 70. According to the relative position of the cabinet board 60 and the cabinet 70, the installer's hand can enter the side 122 of the refrigerator 100 and manually adjust the regulator 21 to accurately adjust the distance between the cabinet board 60 and the cabinet door 12, thereby changing the relative position of the cabinet board 60 and the cabinet door 12. Specifically, when the cabinet board 60 deviates relative to the cabinet door 12 in the first direction, the first hanging nail 215 can be driven to slide along the first direction by rotating the second adjusting screw, thereby driving the cabinet board 60 to move relative to the cabinet door 12 in the first direction.

[0098] The cabinet door 12 is provided with a plurality of adjusters 21 along the second direction, and the plurality of adjusters 21 are connected to different positions of the cabinet panel 60. When the adjuster 21 of the cabinet panel 60 is driven to move relative to the cabinet door 12 along the first direction, a certain angle may be generated between the cabinet panel 60 and the cabinet door 12, and the other end of the cabinet panel 60 can be driven to slide along the first direction by rotating the second adjusting screw of the other adjusters 21 located in the second direction of the adjuster 21, so as to adjust the angle of the cabinet panel 60 relative to the cabinet door 12 along the second direction, so that the cabinet panel 60 and the cabinet door 12 can be relatively parallel.

[0099] When the cabinet board 60 deviates in the second direction relative to the cabinet door 12, the first hanging nail 215 can be driven to slide in the second direction by rotating the first adjusting screw 213, so as to drive the cabinet board 60 to move in the second direction relative to the cabinet door 12. The cabinet board 60 can move in the first direction and the second direction, and then the relative position between the cabinet board 60 and the cabinet door 12 can be adjusted, so that the cabinet door 12 and the cabinet board 60 can be more convenient to operate during fine adjustment, thereby improving the installation efficiency. The cabinet board 60 adjusted by the adjuster 21 can cover the refrigerator 100, so that the refrigerator 100 is completely embedded in the cabinet 70, and the cabinet board 60 and the cabinet 70 can completely cover the refrigerator 100.

[0100] According to the installation method of the refrigerator 100 proposed in the embodiment of the present application, when the refrigerator 100 is embedded, the second connecting plate 222 of the hanging plate 22 and the cabinet plate 60 can be connected first and then the hanging interface 223 of the first connecting plate 221 can be used to hang the regulator 21. The installer can manually adjust the regulator 21 from the side of the refrigerator 100 to change the relative position of the hanging plate 22 and the cabinet door 12, and finally the cabinet plate 60 and the cabinet 70 can completely cover the refrigerator 100, so that the refrigerator is completely embedded in the cabinet 70, achieving a hidden installation effect.

[0101] The above implementation modes are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned implementation modes, a person skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned implementation modes can still be modified, or some of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents. These modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various implementation modes of the present application, and should all be included in the protection scope of the present application.
