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

[0078] Step S1: Install one of the support assembly and the adjustment assembly onto the door body 100, and install the other of the support assembly and the adjustment assembly onto the door panel 200;

[0079] Step S2: Install the adjustment assembly from the side of the door 100 onto the support assembly to pre-assemble the door panel 200 with the door 100;

[0080] Step S3: Remove the door panel 200 and adjust the adjustment components according to the relative positional deviation between the door panel 200 and the door body 100 during pre-assembly;

[0081] The adjustment component is installed on the support component 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 plate 200 of the refrigeration equipment according to the second aspect of the present application connects the door plate 200 to the side of the appliance door body 100 in a sliding fit manner through the connecting device. When installing, first, the two parts of the connecting device are respectively installed on the door body 100 and the door plate 200, then the door plate 200 is connected to the door body 100 from the side of the appliance body, the door plate 200 is then removed, the adjusting assembly of the connecting device is adjusted according to the deviation between the door plate 200 and the door body 100, and finally the door body 100 and the door plate 200 are assembled and fixed. The method saves labor and time for the user during installation, and the user can control the adjusting assembly to adjust the relative height between the door body 100 and the door plate 200, so that the door plate 200 and the door body 100 are better fit.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the adjusting assembly includes a first adjusting piece 20, and the first adjusting piece 20 includes a plurality of extension parts. The step of removing the door plate 200 and adjusting the adjusting assembly according to the relative position deviation between the door plate 200 and the door body 100 during pre-assembly includes:

[0084] removing the door plate 200;

[0085] According to the relative position deviation between the door plate 200 and the door body 100 during pre-assembly, the first adjusting piece 20 is rotated to move the extension part with an appropriate length to below or above the first mounting part 21 in the height direction of the door plate 200.

[0086] It can be understood that after the door plate 200 and the door body 100 are pre-assembled, the deviation between the door body 100 and the door plate 200 is recorded, such as the horizontal position deviation between the door plate 200 and the door body 100, the height position deviation between the door plate 200 and the door body 100 in the vertical direction, etc. According to the recorded pre-assembly deviation, the first adjusting piece 20 is rotated to move the extension part capable of overcoming the pre-assembly deviation to below or above the first mounting part 21 in the height direction of the door plate 200, for example, when the height position deviation between the door plate 200 and the door body 100 is 0.2 mm, the extension part marked with 0.2 mm is moved to below or above the first mounting part 21 in the height direction of the door plate 200, and then the door plate 200 is connected to the door body 100 from the side of the door body 100, so that the height position deviation between the door plate 200 and the door body 100 is corrected.

[0087] In addition, when the second adjusting member 30 is used, the second adjusting member 30 can be rotated according to the pre-assembly deviation, so that the second extension part 32 of an appropriate length is moved to below or above the second mounting part 31 in the height direction of the door panel 200. When the second extension part 32 of the second adjusting member 30 cannot meet the adjustment requirement, a second adjusting member 30 of a different length specification can be replaced for adjustment. Then, the door panel 200 is translated from the side of the door body 100 to be connected with the door body 100, so that the height position deviation between the door panel 200 and the door body 100 is corrected.

[0088] When the third adjusting member is used, a third extension part 41 of a different length specification can be replaced according to the pre-assembly deviation. Then, the third extension part 41 is rotated, so that the third extension part 41 of an appropriate length is moved to below or above the third mounting part 40 in the height direction of the door panel 200. Then, the door panel 200 is translated from the side of the door body 100 to be connected with 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 application, the refrigeration device includes a gasket 60, and the method for connecting the door panel 200 with the door body 100 further includes the steps of:

[0090] mounting the gasket 60 between the adjusting assembly and the supporting assembly;

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

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

[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, the door panel 200 is removed, and the step of adjusting the adjusting assembly according to the relative position deviation of the door panel 200 and the door body 100 during pre-assembly includes:

[0094] removing the door panel 200;

[0095] replacing the adjusting assembly of a different adjustment range according to the relative position deviation of the door panel 200 and the door body 100 during pre-assembly.

[0096] It can be understood that the adjusting assembly can be provided with a plurality of different adjusting ranges, for example, different specifications of the first adjusting member 20 provided with different lengths of the first extension 22, different specifications of the second adjusting member 30 provided with different lengths of the second extension 32, and the third adjusting member provided with different lengths of the third extension 41. When the door body 100 is connected with the door panel 200, the adjusting assembly with a suitable adjusting range can be selected according to the deviation of the relative position of the door body 100 and the door panel 200 when the door body 100 and the door panel 200 are pre-assembled. By providing the adjusting assembly with different adjusting ranges, the adjusting range is expanded, and different adjusting requirements can be met.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, the adjusting assembly is mounted on the supporting assembly from the side of the door body 100, and the step of assembling and fixing the door panel 200 and the door body 100 includes:

[0098] mounting the adjusting assembly on the supporting assembly from the side of the door body 100;

[0099] connecting and fixing the door body 100 and the door panel 200 by the fixing member 70.

[0100] Specifically, after the connection between the door panel 200 and the door body 100 is completed, 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 side surfaces 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 structure, for example, a flat sheet or an L-shaped sheet. The fixing sheet can be provided with bolt holes 71 or waist-shaped holes. The bolt is arranged in the bolt hole 71 and is screwed with 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 adapt to different connection requirements.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, the adjusting assembly is mounted on the supporting assembly from the side of the door body 100, and the step of assembling and fixing the door panel 200 and the door body 100 includes:

[0102] mounting the adjusting assembly on the supporting assembly from the side of the door body 100;

[0103] According to the deviation of the relative position of the door panel 200 and the door body 100 when the door panel 200 and the door body 100 are 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] assembling and fixing the door panel 200 and the door body 100.

[0105] It can be understood that after the door plate 200 is pre-assembled with the door body 100, the relative position deviation of the door plate 200 in the width direction of the door body 100 and the door body 100, that is, the centering deviation of the door plate 200 and the door body 100, can be recorded, and the door plate 200 is moved in the width direction of the door body 100 according to the deviation amount, so that the door plate 200 is adjusted to the centered position of the door body 100.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, the adjusting assembly is mounted on the support assembly from the side of the door body 100, and the step of assembling and fixing the door plate 200 with the door body 100 further comprises:

[0107] A plurality of support assemblies are mounted on one of the door body 100 or the door plate 200, and each support assembly is arranged in the height direction of the door body 100;

[0108] The sliding piece 50 is mounted on the other one of the door body 100 or the door plate 200;

[0109] The adjusting assembly and the sliding piece 50 are mounted on the corresponding support assembly from the side of the door body 100;

[0110] The door plate 200 is assembled and fixed with the door body 100.

[0111] Specifically, a plurality of support assemblies can be provided on the door body 100, for example, the connecting pieces 1010 are arranged in the height direction of the door body 100, and each connecting piece 1010 is arranged in parallel, and then the adjusting assembly (for example, the first adjusting piece 20 and the sliding piece 50) corresponding to the position of each connecting piece 1010 is provided on the door plate 200. The relative height of the door plate 200 and the door body 100 can be adjusted by the adjusting assembly, and the adjusting assembly can also play a supporting role. The sliding piece 50 abuts against the support assembly, which also plays a supporting role, further improves the overall connection reliability, and reduces the pressure on the support assembly, thereby reducing the durability.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present application, one of the support assembly and the adjusting assembly is mounted on the door body 100 of the refrigeration equipment, and the other one of the support assembly and the adjusting assembly is mounted on the door plate 200, wherein the support assembly has a first support surface 12, and the adjusting assembly is used to adjust the relative height between the door body 100 and the door plate 200, and the step comprises:

[0113] An installation groove is formed on the door body 100 or the door plate 200, and the support assembly is installed in the installation groove.

[0114] It can be understood that the support assembly, that is, the connecting piece 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 piece 1010, and the installation groove is arranged in the width direction of the door body 100.

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

[0116] One of the support assembly and the adjustment assembly is installed in the drawer 101 of the refrigeration equipment, and the other of the support assembly and the adjustment assembly is installed in the door panel 200. 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] The adjustment assembly is installed on the support assembly from above the drawer 101, and the first support surface 12 abuts against the adjustment assembly to pre-assemble the door panel 200 with the drawer 101;

[0119] Remove the door panel 200 and adjust the adjustment assembly according to the relative positional deviation between the door panel 200 and the drawer 101 during pre-assembly.

[0120] Install the adjustment component onto the support component from above the drawer 101, and assemble and secure the door panel 200 to the drawer 101.

[0121] Specifically, some refrigeration equipment, such as built-in refrigerators, have a drawer 101 structure, which is generally located between the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment. For the drawer 101 structure, the support component, i.e., the connector 1010, can be installed vertically, that is, the connector 1010 is parallel to the height direction of the door 100. This allows the adjustment component (e.g., the first adjustment component 20) to be installed into the groove of the connector 1010 along the height direction of the door 100. The installation height is suitable, 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 using the method described above.

[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 includes a housing and a door 100. The housing has a receiving cavity with an opening, and the door 100 is provided at the opening in an openable and closable manner.

[0125] The connecting device comprises a support assembly and an adjusting assembly, the support assembly has a first support surface 12 parallel to the width direction of the door body 100, the adjusting assembly is connected with the support assembly in a movable manner along the first support surface 12, one of the support assembly and the adjusting assembly is connected with the side of the door body 100 away from the cabinet, and the other is used for being connected with the door plate 200, and the support assembly can adjust the relative height between the door body 100 and the door plate 200.
