[0077] like Figures 1 to 22 As shown, the present invention proposes a method for connecting a refrigeration device to a door panel 200, which is used for connecting the refrigeration device and the door panel 200 proposed in the first aspect of the present invention, and includes the following steps:

[0078] Step S1: installing one of the supporting assembly and the adjusting assembly on the door body 100, and installing the other of the supporting assembly and the adjusting assembly on the door panel 200;

[0079] Step S2: installing the adjustment assembly on the support assembly from the side of the door body 100 to pre-assemble the door panel 200 and the door body 100;

[0080] Step S3: remove the door panel 200, and adjust the adjustment component according to the relative position deviation between the door panel 200 and the door body 100 during pre-assembly;

[0081] The adjusting assembly is installed on the supporting assembly from the side of the door body 100 , and the door panel 200 is assembled and fixed to the door body 100 .

[0082] The method for connecting the door panel 200 of the refrigeration equipment proposed in the second aspect of the present invention connects the door panel 200 from the side of the appliance door body 100 in a sliding fit manner through a connecting device. During installation, the two parts of the connecting device are first installed on the door body 100 and the door panel 200 respectively, and then the door panel 200 is slid from the side of the door body 100 of the appliance body to connect with the door body 100, and then the door panel 200 is removed, and the adjustment component of the connecting device is adjusted according to the deviation between the door panel 200 and the door body 100, and finally the door body 100 and the door panel 200 are assembled and fixed. This method saves time and effort for the user during installation, and the user can control the adjustment component to adjust the relative height between the door body 100 and the door panel 200, so that the door panel 200 and the door body 100 have better fit.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, the adjustment assembly includes a first adjustment member 20, the first adjustment member 20 includes a plurality of extensions, and the steps of removing the door panel 200 and adjusting the adjustment assembly according to the relative position deviation of the door panel 200 and the door body 100 when pre-assembled include:

[0084] Remove the door panel 200;

[0085] According to the relative position deviation of the door panel 200 and the door body 100 during pre-assembly, the first adjusting member 20 is rotated to move the extension portion of appropriate length to below or above the first mounting portion 21 along the height direction of the door panel 200 .

[0086] It is understandable that after the door panel 200 and the door body 100 are pre-assembled, the deviation between the door body 100 and the door panel 200 is recorded, such as the horizontal position deviation between the door panel 200 and the door body 100, the height position deviation between the door panel 200 and the door body 100 in the vertical direction, etc. According to the recorded pre-assembly deviation, the first adjusting member 20 is rotated, and the extension part that can overcome the pre-assembly deviation is rotated to the lower or upper part of the first mounting part 21 along the height direction of the door panel 200. For example, if the height position deviation between the door panel 200 and the door body 100 is 0.2mm, the extension part marked with 0.2mm can be rotated to the lower or upper part of the first mounting part 21 along the height direction of the door panel 200, and then the door panel 200 is translated from the side of the door body 100 to connect with the door body 100, so that the height position deviation between the door panel 200 and the door body 100 is corrected.

[0087] In addition, when using the second adjusting member 30, the second adjusting member 30 can be rotated according to the pre-assembly deviation, so that the second extension portion 32 of an appropriate length moves to the bottom or top of the second mounting portion 31 along the height direction of the door panel 200. If the second extension portion 32 of the current second adjusting member 30 cannot meet the adjustment requirements, the second adjusting member 30 of different length specifications can be replaced for adjustment, and then the door panel 200 is translated from the side of the door body 100 and connected to the door body 100, so that the height position deviation between the door panel 200 and the door body 100 is corrected.

[0088] When using the third adjusting member, the third extension portion 41 of different length specifications can be replaced according to the pre-assembly deviation, and then the third extension portion 41 can be rotated so that the third extension portion 41 of appropriate length is moved to the bottom or top of the third mounting portion 40 along the height direction of the door panel 200, and then the door panel 200 is translated from the side of the door body 100 to be connected to the door body 100, so that the height position deviation between the door panel 200 and the door body 100 is corrected.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigeration device includes a gasket 60, and the method of connecting the refrigeration device to the door panel 200 further includes the steps of:

[0090] Install the gasket 60 between the adjustment assembly and the support assembly;

[0091] The thickness of the gasket 60 is adjusted to adjust the relative distance between the door body 100 and the door panel 200 .

[0092] By setting a gasket 60 to be clamped between the adjusting component and the supporting component, the distance between the adjusting component and the supporting component can be widened or narrowed. The gasket 60 can be set in various thickness specifications. After the door body 100 and the door panel 200 are pre-assembled, the distance between the door body 100 and the door panel 200 during pre-assembly is recorded. According to the actual distance requirement, a gasket 60 of appropriate thickness is set between the adjusting component and the supporting component, for example, on the first mounting part 21, so that the distance between the adjusting component and the supporting component is adjusted, and then the distance between the door body 100 and the door panel 200 is adjusted to a suitable distance.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present invention, the door panel 200 is removed, and the step of adjusting the adjustment component according to the relative position deviation of the door panel 200 and the door body 100 when pre-assembled includes:

[0094] Remove the door panel 200;

[0095] According to the relative position deviation between the door panel 200 and the door body 100 during pre-assembly, the adjustment components with different adjustment ranges are replaced.

[0096] It is understandable that the adjustment component can be set with a variety of different adjustment ranges, for example, different lengths of the first extension 22 of different specifications of the first adjustment member 20, different lengths of the second extension 32 of different specifications of the second adjustment member 30, and different lengths of the third extension 41 of the third adjustment member. When the door body 100 is connected to the door panel 200, the adjustment component with a suitable adjustment range can be selected for adjustment according to the deviation of the door body 100 and the door panel 200 during pre-assembly. By setting the adjustment components with different adjustment ranges, the adjustment range is expanded to meet different adjustment requirements.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of installing the adjustment assembly on the support assembly from the side of the door body 100 and assembling and fixing the door panel 200 and the door body 100 includes:

[0098] Install the adjustment assembly to the support assembly from the side of the door body 100;

[0099] The door body 100 and the door panel 200 are connected and fixed via a fixing member 70 .

[0100] Specifically, after the door panel 200 and the door body 100 are connected, the door panel 200 and the door body 100 can be fixedly connected by the fixing member 70. For example, bolt holes 71 are provided on the sides of the door panel 200 and the door body 100, and the fixing member 70 is screwed with the bolt holes 71 on the door panel 200 and the door body 100 to achieve the fixed connection between the door panel 200 and the door body 100. The fixing member 70 can be a sheet-shaped structure, such as a flat sheet or an L-shaped sheet, and the bolt hole 71 or waist-shaped hole can be provided on the fixing sheet. The bolt is passed through the bolt hole 71 and screwed to the door body 100 or the door panel 200 to achieve the fixed connection between the door panel 200 and the door body 100. The waist-shaped hole can fine-tune the position of the fixing sheet to meet different connection requirements.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of installing the adjustment assembly on the support assembly from the side of the door body 100 and assembling and fixing the door panel 200 and the door body 100 further includes:

[0102] Install the adjustment assembly to the support assembly from the side of the door body 100;

[0103] According to the relative position deviation between the door panel 200 and the door body 100 when pre-assembled, the door panel 200 is moved along the width direction of the door body 100 to adjust the relative position between the door panel 200 and the door body 100 along the width direction of the door body 100;

[0104] The door panel 200 is assembled and fixed to the door body 100 .

[0105] It can be understood that after the door panel 200 is pre-assembled with the door body 100, the relative position deviation of the door panel 200 in the width direction of the door body 100, that is, the centering deviation of the door panel 200 and the door body 100, can be recorded. According to the deviation, the door panel 200 is moved along the width direction of the door body 100 to adjust the door panel 200 to a position aligned with the door body 100.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of installing the adjustment assembly on the support assembly from the side of the door body 100 and assembling and fixing the door panel 200 and the door body 100 further includes:

[0107] A plurality of support components are installed on one of the door body 100 or the door panel 200, and each support component is arranged at intervals along the height direction of the door body 100;

[0108] A slide sheet 50 is installed on the other of the door body 100 or the door panel 200;

[0109] Install the adjustment assembly and the slide 50 to the corresponding support assembly from the side of the door body 100;

[0110] The door panel 200 is assembled and fixed to the door body 100 .

[0111] Specifically, a plurality of supporting components may be provided on the door body 100. For example, the connecting members 1010 may be arranged at intervals along the height direction of the door body 100, and the connecting members 1010 may be arranged in parallel with each other. Then, adjusting components (such as a first adjusting member 20 and a sliding piece 50) corresponding to the positions of the connecting members 1010 may be provided on the door panel 200. The relative height between the door panel 200 and the door body 100 may be adjusted through the adjusting components, and the adjusting components may play a supporting role. The sliding piece 50 may also play a supporting role by abutting against the supporting components, thereby further improving the overall connection reliability and reducing the durability of the supporting components due to excessive pressure.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present invention, one of the support assembly and the adjustment assembly is installed on the door body 100 of the refrigeration equipment, and the other of the support assembly and the adjustment assembly is installed on the door panel 200, wherein the support assembly has a first support surface 12, and the adjustment assembly is used to adjust the relative height between the door body 100 and the door panel 200. The steps include:

[0113] A mounting groove is provided on the door body 100 or the door panel 200, and the supporting assembly is installed in the mounting groove.

[0114] It is understandable that the supporting assembly, namely the connecting member 1010 , can be embedded and installed in the installation groove to reduce the overall thickness. The structure of the installation groove is adapted to the connecting member 1010 and is extended along the width direction of the door body 100 .

[0115] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method for connecting a refrigeration device to a door panel 200 further includes the steps of:

[0116] One of the support assembly and the adjustment assembly is installed on the drawer 101 of the refrigeration equipment, and the other of the support assembly and the adjustment assembly is installed on the door panel 200, wherein the support assembly has a first support surface 12, and the adjustment assembly is used to adjust the relative height between the drawer 101 and the door panel 200;

[0117] Adjust the installation position of the support assembly so that the first support surface 12 is parallel to the width direction of the drawer 101;

[0118] Install the adjustment assembly on the support assembly from above the drawer 101, and make the first support surface 12 abut against the adjustment assembly to pre-assemble the door panel 200 and the drawer 101;

[0119] Remove the door panel 200, and adjust the adjustment assembly according to the relative position deviation between the door panel 200 and the drawer 101 when they are pre-assembled;

[0120] The adjusting assembly is installed on the supporting assembly from above the drawer 101 , and the door panel 200 and the drawer 101 are assembled and fixed.

[0121] Specifically, some refrigeration equipment, such as built-in refrigerators, have a drawer 101 structure, and the drawer 101 structure of the built-in refrigerator is generally located between the refrigeration area and the freezing area. For the drawer 101 structure, the support component, that is, the connecting member 1010 can be installed vertically, that is, the connecting member 1010 is parallel to the height direction of the door body 100, so that the adjustment component (such as the first adjustment member 20) can be installed in the groove of the connecting member 1010 along the height direction of the door body 100, the installation height is appropriate, the installation angle is convenient for operation, and the user's installation efficiency is improved.

[0122] In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigeration device is a refrigerator. The refrigerator can be embedded in a cabinet and installed by the above method.

[0123] like Figures 1 to 19 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the refrigeration device of the present invention includes:

[0124] The electrical appliance body comprises a box body and a door body 100, wherein the box body is provided with a receiving cavity, the receiving cavity has an opening, and the door body 100 is provided at the opening in an openable and closable manner;

[0125] The connecting device includes a supporting assembly and an adjusting assembly. The supporting assembly has a first supporting surface 12, and the first supporting surface 12 is parallel to the width direction of the door body 100. The adjusting assembly is connected to the supporting assembly in a manner that it can move along the first supporting surface 12. One of the supporting assembly and the adjusting assembly is connected to the side of the door body 100 away from the box body, and the other is used to connect to the door panel 200. The supporting assembly can adjust the relative height between the door body 100 and the door panel 200.

[0126] It is understandable that the electrical appliance body can be the body part of an electrical appliance such as a built-in refrigerator or a built-in oven, the cabinet can be a cabinet matched with a refrigeration device, the box body can be the box body part of a built-in refrigerator, and the door body 100 is the refrigerator door of the built-in refrigerator. The door body 100 is rotatably arranged at the first opening to achieve an opening and closing effect. The second opening corresponds to the door body 100, so that the cabinet body can not interfere when the door body 100 is opened and closed. The second opening can be set slightly larger than the first opening. The door panel 200 can be set to be the same or similar to the cabinet style. The door panel 200 is connected to the door body 100 through a connecting device and is arranged on the outside of the door body 100, so that the door panel 200 and the door body 100 can be opened and closed synchronously, and the overall appearance is coordinated and neat.

[0127] Specifically, the function of the connecting device is to connect the door panel 200 with the door body 100. The connection principle of the connecting device is that one end of the adjusting component is placed on the supporting component. At this time, it is only necessary to provide the supporting component with a first supporting surface 12 extending along the width direction of the door body 100 (direction A in the figure), and the first extension portion 22 can abut against the first supporting surface 12. Taking the installation of the adjusting component on the door panel 200 as an example, the adjusting component can be fixed by passing bolts through a plurality of through holes 24 on the adjusting component and screwed into the mounting holes 201 on the door panel 200. A supporting component extending along the width direction of the door body 100, such as a groove 11, can be provided on the door body 100. Along the height direction of the door body 100 (direction B in the figure), the bottom wall of the groove 11 is the first supporting surface 12. The adjusting component is slid into the groove 11 from the side of the door body 100, and the bottom end of the adjusting component abuts against the first supporting surface 12. The door panel 200 is suspended on the door body 100 through the connecting device to achieve the connection between the two. The adjustment component can also be installed on the door body 100, and a groove 11 is provided on the door panel 200. Along the height direction of the door body 100 (direction B in the figure), the top wall of the groove 11 is the first supporting surface 12. The adjustment component on the door panel 200 is aligned with the groove 11, and is slid into the groove 11 from the side of the door body 100. The top of the adjustment component abuts against the first supporting surface 12, and the door panel 200 is suspended on the door body 100 through a connecting device to achieve the connection between the two. The groove 11 can also be replaced by a protrusion provided on the door body 100 or the door panel 200 and extending along the width direction of the door body 100. The top surface of the protrusion is the first supporting surface 12, and the effect of the hanging connection between the door body 100 and the door panel 200 can also be achieved.

[0128] The refrigeration device proposed in the first aspect of the present invention can be connected to the door panel 200 by sliding fit. During installation, the door panel 200 can be slid from the side of the door body 100 of the appliance body to be connected to the door body 100, which saves the user time and effort during installation. The refrigeration device also has an adjustment component, which can adjust the relative height between the door body 100 and the door panel 200, so that the door panel 200 and the door body 100 can be better matched.

[0129] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the support assembly includes a connecting member 10, and the connecting member 10 is provided with a groove 11, the groove 11 extends along the width direction of the door body 100, and along the height direction of the door body 100, the bottom wall or the top wall of the groove 11 is a first supporting surface 12;

[0130] The adjustment assembly includes a first adjustment member 20, which includes a first extension portion 22 and a first mounting portion 21 connected to the first extension portion 22. The first extension portion 22 is disposed in the groove 11 and abuts against the first support surface 12. The distance between the first mounting portion 21 and the first support surface 12 along a first direction is adjustable, and the first direction is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the box.

[0131] The door body 100 is fixedly connected to one of the connecting member 10 and the first mounting portion 21 , and the other of the connecting member 10 and the first mounting portion 21 is used to be fixedly connected to the door panel 200 .

[0132] It is understandable that the connector 10 may be a groove-shaped structure, for example, the connector 10 is provided on the door body 100 or the door panel 200, and the connector 10 may be fixed on the door body 100 or the door panel 200 by buckles or bolts, and a groove 11 is provided on the connector 10, and the groove 11 is a long strip structure, and the groove 11 extends along the width direction of the door body 100, that is, the groove 11 extends along the transverse direction of the door body 100 or the door panel 200. Along the height direction of the door body 100, the bottom wall or top wall of the groove 11 is the first supporting surface 12, when the adjustment component is installed on the door panel 200 and the connector 10 is installed on the door body 100, the bottom end of the adjustment component abuts against the first supporting surface 12, so that the adjustment component is suspended on the first supporting surface 12, and when the adjustment component is installed on the door body 100 and the connector 10 is installed on the door panel 200, the top end of the adjustment component abuts against the first supporting surface 12, so that the connector 10 is suspended on the adjustment component. The two ends of the groove 11 may be open, so that the adjustment component can be slid into the groove 11 from the two ends of the groove 11. In the actual installation of the door panel 200 and the door body 100, the door panel 200 can be installed by sliding and inserting from the side of the door body 100, which is convenient for users to install. A limiting part can also be set at the notch of the groove 11 away from the door body 100 or the door panel 200 to limit the adjustment component and prevent the adjustment component from falling out of the groove 11.

[0133] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the groove 11 may not be horizontally through, and may be arranged in sections. For example, two grooves 11 are arranged to correspond to two adjustment components, and a clearance gap 13 is arranged on the same side of the two grooves 11 along the width direction of the door body 100. When the adjustment component moves to the end of the clearance gap 13, it is limited, which can reduce the displacement distance of the adjustment component when it slides in, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0134] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first mounting portion 21 is connected to the door body 100 or the door panel 200 in a manner of rotating around a first axis. There are multiple first extension portions 22, and the multiple first extension portions 22 are arranged at circumferential intervals along the first mounting portion 21. The distances between the ends of the multiple first extension portions 22 that are away from the first mounting portion 21 and the first axis are different.

[0135] It is understood that the first mounting portion 21 is a circular structure, such as a cylindrical or disc-shaped structure. A plurality of through holes 24 may be provided on the first mounting portion 21 for fixing bolts, and a hollow hole 25 may be provided to achieve weight reduction and improve structural strength. A plurality of first extension portions 22 extend outwardly along the radial direction of the first mounting portion 21, and the plurality of first extension portions 22 have different extension lengths. The cross section of the first mounting portion 21 may be circular, and the first mounting portion 21 has a certain thickness. A plurality of through holes 24 may be provided on the first mounting portion 21 for inserting screws to fix with the door body 100 or the door panel 200. The extension portion is arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first mounting portion 21, and the extension portion may be a semicircular, arc-shaped, or trapezoidal structure. The first extension portion 22 may be a semicircular, arc-shaped, or trapezoidal structure, and may be welded or integrally formed with the first mounting portion 21. The first extension portion 22 may also be a structure of threaded columns of different lengths, and the effect of adjustable support length is achieved by screwing the threaded column with the first mounting portion 21. Multiple first extension portions 22 are arranged with different lengths in the radial direction of the first mounting portion 21, so that by rotating the first adjusting member 20, extension portions of different lengths can be abutted against the first supporting surface 12 on the door body 100 or the door panel 200 to adjust the relative height between the door body 100 and the door panel 200.

[0136] like Figures 9 and 10 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, along the circumferential direction of the first mounting portion 21, the extension lengths (A in the figure) of the plurality of first extension portions 22 are increased in sequence. A gradually increasing extension structure is formed in the circumferential direction of the first mounting portion 21, and the first extension portions 22 of different lengths can be brought into contact with the first wall surface on the door body 100 or the door panel 200 by rotating the first adjusting member 20 to adjust the relative height between the door body 100 and the door panel 200. In addition, the extension lengths of the plurality of first extension portions 22 are gradually increased to avoid the phenomenon that a shorter extension portion exists between two longer first extension portions 22, so that all the first extension portions 22 can play an adjustment role.

[0137] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the number of the first adjustment members 20 is multiple, and the multiple first adjustment members 20 are arranged in the groove 11 at intervals along the width direction of the door body 100, and the distance between the first mounting portion 21 and the first supporting surface 12 along the first direction is the first distance ( Fig.11 As represented by A in FIG. 1 , the first distances between the plurality of first adjustment members 20 and the first support surface 12 have different range values.

[0138] It is understandable that by providing a plurality of first adjustment members 20 with different adjustment ranges, the connection device can adapt to different adjustment situations. When the adjustment range of a single first adjustment member 20 is not enough, a plurality of first adjustment members 20 can be designed for selection and use to provide a larger adjustment range. A plurality of first extensions 22 can be provided with a step of 0.2 mm. The extension lengths of the first extensions 22 of each first adjustment member 20 are staggered.

[0139] See also Figure 7 and Fig.10 In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of first extension portions 22 are arranged in pairs. In any pair of first extension portions 22, the positions of the two first extension portions 22 are arranged opposite to each other, and the distance from one end of one first extension portion 22 away from the first mounting portion 21 to the other end of the first extension portion 22 away from the first mounting portion 21 is a preset spacing value ( Fig.10 B indicates in the figure). It indicates that the distance between any two first extensions 22 set opposite to each other is a fixed value. The main purpose is that the width of the groove 11 is a fixed value. The fixed value setting can make the matching clearance between the first adjustment member 20 and the groove 11 remain unchanged regardless of which extension is used to support the groove 11. See the example in the figure: K is the width of the groove 11. Two identical first adjustment members 20 are used in the figure. One first adjustment member 20 is supported by a scale and the groove 11, and the other first adjustment member 20 is supported by a scale and the groove 11. The center line of the first adjustment member 20 has been tilted to achieve a change in the height of the object connected to it relative to the groove 11 at both ends. However, the top gap a of the two first adjustment members 20 is the same because of the control of the B value.

[0140] See also Fig.12 In some embodiments of the present invention, along the axial direction of the first mounting portion 21, the length of the first extension portion 22 is less than the length of the first mounting portion 21. A snap-fit ​​groove is formed between the first extension portion 22 and the door panel 200 or the door body 100, and the snap-fit ​​groove can be matched with the groove 11. When the groove 11 has a first extension portion 22 extending into the groove, the first extension portion 22 can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove to prevent the connection device from escaping from the groove 11, thereby improving the reliability of the connection.

[0141] In some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting device is connected to the door body 100 or the door panel 200 in a detachable manner. This makes the installation of the connecting device more convenient. Specifically, the first adjusting member 20 of the connecting device can be screwed with the bolt hole on the door body 100 or the door panel 200 by bolts, and the distance between the first adjusting member 20 and the door body 100 or the door panel 200 can be adjusted by screwing the bolts, thereby adjusting the distance between the door body 100 and the door panel 200. The connecting member 10 of the connecting device can be screwed with the bolt hole on the door body 100 or the door panel 200 by bolts, and an installation groove can also be set on the door body 100 or the door panel 200, and the connecting member 10 is embedded in the installation groove to achieve connection. The embedded connection structure can also make the overall thickness smaller to have a better appearance effect.

[0142] In some embodiments of the present invention, the connection device is further provided with a fixing component, and the fixing component can fix the first adjusting member 20 on the first entity. Specifically, the fixing component can connect the first adjusting member 20 to the first entity in a detachable manner. The fixing component can be a screw component, and the screw passes through the through hole 24 on the first adjusting member 20 to connect with the door body 100 or the door panel 200 to achieve the fixing of the connection device. The fixing component can also be a buckle provided on the first adjusting member 20 and a base 23 provided on the door body 100 or the door panel 200, and the buckle can be engaged with the base 23 to achieve fixing, thereby achieving the fixing between the first adjusting member 20 and the door body 100 or the door panel 200. A boss 231 may be provided on the base 23, and a plurality of bolt holes may be provided on the base 23 for connecting with the door body 100 or the door panel 200 through bolts. The boss 231 may be provided with a limiting portion 232, and the limiting portion 232 protrudes from the outer side surface of the boss 231 and extends along the axial direction of the boss 231. As a match, a limiting groove may be provided on the through hole 24 of the first adjusting member 20. When the first adjusting member 20 is sleeved on the boss 231, the limiting groove cooperates with the limiting portion 232 to limit the rotation of the first adjusting member 20.

[0143] The thickness adjustment of the first adjusting member 20 may also be considered to be in the form of a thread. After rotating according to the scale of the first extension portion 22, a corresponding locking mechanism is provided to enable the first adjusting member 20 to be adjusted through the thread, eliminating the gasket 60. At the same time, the installation limit structure is retained and has a certain elasticity, so that the limit is pressed down when rotating to the non-gear position, and when rotating to the gear position, the limit rib rebounds and falls into the limit groove to achieve precise positioning of the rotation angle.

[0144] like Fig.18As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the connection device further includes a gasket 60 component, the gasket 60 component abuts against the adjustment component, and the gasket 60 component is used to be sandwiched between the adjustment component and the door body 100, or, the gasket 60 component is used to be sandwiched between the adjustment component and the door panel 200. The gasket 60 can be an annular structure, which has a sleeve hole, and is sleeved on the adjustment component through the sleeve hole, for example, sleeved on the first mounting portion 21, the second mounting portion or the third mounting portion, so that the relative distance between the door body 100 and the door panel 200 is controlled by the gasket 60. The gasket 60 can be a circular sheet structure or a rectangular sheet structure.

[0145] See also Fig.12 In the figure, C is the thickness of the first adjusting member 20, and C is the thickness of the first adjusting member 20 plus the adjusting gasket 60. This structure can design a small number of slides 50 and gaskets 60 to combine a variety of slides 50 with different thicknesses. Of course, the first adjusting member 20 can also be designed in the same scale with different thicknesses (such as C, C overall thickness of the first adjusting member 20), but this is generally economical.
