Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of refrigeration equipment manufacturing, and in particular to an embedded refrigeration equipment. Background Art

[0002] There are many advantages of installing built-in refrigerators in cabinets. They can not only improve the aesthetics of the home, but also provide more practical functions. First of all, installing built-in refrigerators in cabinets can create a more integrated home style. Compared with placing the refrigerator alone in one place, integrating it into the cabinet can make the overall design more harmonious and make the home style more unified; secondly, installing built-in refrigerators in cabinets can increase storage space. If you have enough space, you can add more drawers and partitions to the cabinet to increase your storage space. At the same time, the space on the refrigerator door can also be used to place items, which is very convenient for housewives. In addition, installing built-in refrigerators in cabinets can save more space. If you put the refrigerator in the kitchen or dining room, then you may need to leave some space for people to walk around. However, embedding the refrigerator in the cabinet can save this part of space and make the home layout more flexible. Finally, installing built-in refrigerators in cabinets can also improve the energy efficiency of refrigerators. Because this installation method hides the refrigerator in the cabinet, it reduces the influence of external temperature and light, which helps to maintain the temperature inside the refrigerator and reduce energy consumption.

[0003] When installing the refrigerator in the accommodating cavity in the cabinet, if the position of the refrigerator in the front-to-back direction is offset, the door body of the cabinet will be unable to close the accommodating cavity.

[0029] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meanings as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0031] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "up, down, top, bottom", usually refer to the directions shown in the drawings, or to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above-mentioned directional words are not used to limit the present invention.

[0032] In order to solve the problem that the limiting member installed on the bottom wall of the cabinet installation cavity in the prior art for limiting the front support leg of the refrigerator will interfere with the left and right side walls of the refrigerator body when it abuts against the two side walls in the lateral direction of the installation cavity, the present invention provides an embedded refrigeration device.

[0033] like Figure 1-7 As shown, an embedded refrigeration device provided by one embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet 1 with a accommodating cavity 11, a refrigerator and a plurality of limit members 2. The refrigerator is installed in the accommodating cavity and has two front supporting legs 3 located at the bottom thereof. The two front supporting legs 3 are usually arranged at intervals in the left-right direction.

[0034] The limiting member 2 is arranged on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11 and has a limiting groove 21 that can accommodate the front supporting leg 3. In this way, after the limiting member 2 is installed on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, the supporting leg 3 can be installed in the limiting groove 21.

[0035] The limiting member 2 includes a main body portion 22 and a first auxiliary portion 23 connected along the width direction of the cabinet, and the main body portion 22 and the first auxiliary portion 23 can be separated under the action of an external force.

[0036] The limiting groove 21 includes a first portion at least partially located on the main body 22 , and the front supporting leg 3 is at least partially located in the first portion, so that the first portion can limit the front supporting leg 3 forward and backward.

[0037] When the position-limiting member is installed in the cabinet, the side edge of the first auxiliary portion 23 away from the main body portion 22 abuts against the side wall of the accommodating cavity, thereby limiting the position of the position-limiting member 2 during installation.

[0038] When the user installs the limiter on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity, the side edge of the first auxiliary part 23 away from the main part 22 abuts against the side wall of the accommodating cavity to limit the horizontal position of the limiter 2 relative to the cabinet 1. Then, the front supporting foot 3 is installed in the limiting groove 21. The limiting groove 21 can limit the position of the front supporting foot 3 in the front and rear directions. Finally, the first auxiliary part 23 can be separated from the main part 22 by external force, thereby avoiding interference between the lower ends of the left and right side walls of the refrigerator body and the limiter 2.

[0039] Preferably, if Figure 4 , as shown in FIG. 6 , the first auxiliary portion 23 is provided with a first handle 231, and the first handle 231 includes a connecting portion 2311 extending from the upper surface of the first auxiliary portion 23 in a direction away from the first auxiliary portion and a bending portion 2312 formed on one end of the connecting portion away from the first auxiliary portion. When a user applies force to the bending portion 2312, the first auxiliary portion 23 can be easily separated from the main body 22.

[0040] Furthermore, the limiting member 2 also includes a second auxiliary part 24 connected to the front side of the main body 22 and the first auxiliary part 23, and the second auxiliary part has a limiting part 241 bent downward to cooperate with the front wall of the cabinet. The second auxiliary part 24 can be separated from the main body 22 and the first auxiliary part 23 connected thereto under the action of external force.

[0041] In this way, the limiting portion 241 cooperates with the front wall of the cabinet to limit the position of the limiting member 2 in the front-to-back direction on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11 , thereby ensuring that the front supporting foot 3 is installed in the limiting groove and inside the limiting groove 21 .

[0042] It should be noted that the second auxiliary part 24 can be separated from the main body part 22 and the first auxiliary part 23 connected thereto under the action of an external force, thereby ensuring that after the stopper 2 is installed on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, the second auxiliary part 24 can be removed by an external force, thereby preventing the second auxiliary part 24 from affecting the sealing of the cabinet door during the closing process of the cabinet door. In this embodiment, the cabinet door of the cabinet 1 is not shown, but ordinary technicians in the relevant field will understand.

[0043] In some embodiments, the second auxiliary part 24 is connected to the front side of the main body 22 or the first auxiliary part 23, and the second auxiliary part has a limit part 241 that is bent downward to limit the front wall of the cabinet, and the second auxiliary part 24 can be separated from the main body 22 or the first auxiliary part 23 connected thereto under the action of external force. Whether the second auxiliary part 24 is connected to the front side of the main body 22 or the front side of the first auxiliary part 23 is not limited in this embodiment. All solutions that adopt the same or similar embodiments as this embodiment are covered within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0044] Furthermore, a second handle 2411 is disposed on the second auxiliary portion 24 , and the second handle 2411 is extended from the front side of the limiting portion 241 in a direction away from the limiting portion 241 .

[0045] With such arrangement, when the user applies force to the second handle 2411 , the user can conveniently apply external force to the second auxiliary portion 24 , so as to facilitate the detachment of the second auxiliary portion 24 .

[0046] Next, still refer to Figure 4 The second auxiliary part 24 includes a connecting part 242 extending forward from the front side of the main part and / or the first auxiliary part along the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity, and the limiting part 241 is configured as a flange formed downward from the front end of the connecting part 242, and the flange abuts against the front wall of the cabinet 1.

[0047] When configured in this way, a stable abutment effect can be obtained when the flange abuts against the front wall 1 of the cabinet 1, thereby better limiting the position of the positioning member 2 in the front-rear direction.

[0048] Preferably, in the above embodiments, the second auxiliary portion 24 is connected to the main portion 22 and / or the first auxiliary portion 23 via a plurality of connecting bridges 243. The connecting bridges 243 are usually made of the same material as the second auxiliary portion 24 and the main portion 22, and the connecting bridges 243 are easy to break, so that the second auxiliary portion 24 can be easily separated from the main portion 22 and / or the first auxiliary portion 23.

[0049] Furthermore, the refrigerator includes a box body 4 and a plurality of supporting legs, wherein the plurality of supporting legs are threadedly connected to the bottom of the box body 4 and can pivot relative to the box body 4 .

[0050] With such arrangement, the position of the supporting feet relative to the box body 4 in the vertical direction can be adjusted by pivoting the supporting feet, so that the supporting feet can better support the box body 4 and avoid shaking of the box body 4 due to uneven ground.

[0051] It should be noted that the multiple supporting feet include two front supporting feet 3 close to the front side of the box and at least two rear supporting feet close to the rear side of the box. At least two rear supporting feet are also arranged at intervals along the left and right directions to ensure stability when supporting the box.

[0052] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the front support leg 3 includes a bolt 31 connected to the bottom of the box body 4 and a support pad 32 fixedly connected to the end of the bolt away from the box body. The bolt 31 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the box body 4, and the height of the front support leg 3 in the vertical direction can be adjusted during the pivoting process of the bolt 31.

[0053] Still reference Figure 7 Preferably, a slot 321 is provided on the side wall of the support pad 32. With such a configuration, when a rigid pry bar or other instrument is inserted into the slot 321, the support pad 32 can be rotated by the lever principle, thereby driving the bolt 31 to pivot relative to the bottom of the box body 4.

[0054] Preferably, reference Figure 6 As best shown in the above embodiments of the present invention, the inner wall 211 of the limiting groove 21 extends from bottom to top and gradually tilts toward the outside of the limiting groove. In this way, the inner wall 211 has a certain slope, and when the front supporting foot 3 is installed in the installation groove 21, the inner wall 211 can play a good guiding role.

[0055] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0056] When the limiting member is installed on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity, the side edge of the first auxiliary portion 23 away from the main portion 22 abuts against the side wall of the accommodating cavity, thereby limiting the position of the limiting member 2 relative to the cabinet 1 in the lateral direction. The front supporting foot 3 is installed in the limiting groove 21, and the limiting groove 21 can limit the position of the front supporting foot 3 in the front and rear directions. The first auxiliary portion 23 can be separated from the main portion 22 by external force, thereby avoiding interference between the left and right side walls of the refrigerator body 4 and the limiting member 2.
