Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refrigerators, and in particular to an installation and positioning tool and method for a built-in refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] A refrigerator is a refrigeration device that maintains a constant low temperature. It is a common appliance used to preserve food or other items at low temperatures in life and is widely used in life and industry. With the rise of minimalist lifestyles, built-in home appliances have emerged. A built-in refrigerator is a type of refrigerator that mainly uses a refrigeration structure installed at the bottom of a cabinet to use the refrigeration structure and the cabinet as a whole as a refrigerator.

[0003] Built-in refrigerators have many advantages such as high space utilization, stylish appearance, coordinated style, simple visual effects, good user experience and rich functional configuration, and are deeply loved by consumers. However, due to the uncertainty of the size of the cabinet and cabinet door selected by the user, the cabinet door needs to be installed in front of the refrigerator door body and the cabinet door installation position needs to be re-positioned. In the relevant technology, the installer will use a tape measure to measure, and fix the hanging plate to the corresponding position of the cabinet door by calculating and comparing with the refrigerator size. This on-site measurement and fixing method is prone to large size errors, resulting in low installation efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0028] Optionally, the flange structure is composed of a plurality of straight edges that are perpendicular to the second positioning surface, and the plurality of straight edges have the same shape and are evenly distributed.

[0029] The flange structure can form an L-shaped contact surface with the second positioning surface to more securely fit the cabinet door and prevent loosening or displacement during use. The first positioning card edge with the flange structure can also be used as a ruler.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] The embodiments will be described in detail below, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation methods described in the following embodiments do not represent all implementation methods consistent with the present application. They are only examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application.

[0055] Built-in refrigerators have many advantages such as high space utilization, stylish appearance, coordinated style, simple visual effects, good user experience and rich functional configuration, and are deeply loved by consumers. However, due to the uncertainty of the size of the cabinet and cabinet door selected by the user, it is necessary to re-position the cabinet door installation position before installing the cabinet door. In the relevant embodiments, the installer will use a tape measure to measure, and fix the hanging plate to the corresponding position of the cabinet door by calculating and comparing it with the size of the refrigerator. This on-site measurement and fixing method is prone to large size errors, resulting in low installation efficiency.

[0056] To solve the problem of low installation efficiency of built-in refrigerators and cabinet doors, see Figure 1-Figure 3, some embodiments of the present application provide a built-in refrigerator installation positioning tool, including: a first positioning tool 1 for positioning the position of a connecting plate; the cross-section of the first positioning tool 1 is rectangular, and the first positioning tool 1 includes a first positioning surface 18, a second positioning surface 19, a first positioning side surface, a second positioning side surface, a third positioning side surface and a fourth positioning side surface; the first positioning side surface, the second positioning side surface, the third positioning side surface and the fourth positioning side surface are sequentially connected end to end; the first positioning surface 18 and the second positioning surface 19 are opposite to each other; a positioning block 11 is provided at an edge of the first positioning surface 18 near the first positioning side surface and the fourth positioning side surface; the cross-section of the positioning block 11 is rectangular, and the fourth side of the positioning block 11 is located at the same position as the fourth positioning side surface on a plane; the first side and the third side of the positioning block 11 are parallel to the first positioning side surface; and the first side of the positioning block 11 is away from the first positioning side surface; the first positioning tool 1 is provided with a first connecting plate positioning groove 12, a second connecting plate positioning groove 13 and a third connecting plate positioning groove 14; the distance from the first connecting plate positioning groove 12 to the fourth side of the positioning block 11 is equal to the preset height from the second side of the cabinet door 3 to the installation position of the first connecting plate 41; the distance from the second connecting plate positioning groove 13 to the second side of the positioning block 11 is equal to the preset distance from the first side of the cabinet door 3 to the installation position of the first connecting plate 41; the spacing between the second connecting plate positioning groove 13 and the third connecting plate positioning groove 14 is equal to the preset spacing between the installation positions of the first connecting plate 41 and the second connecting plate 42.

[0057] It should be understood that see Figure 5-Figure 7 The refrigerator body of the built-in refrigerator is located inside the cabinet body. The positions of the various components in the first positioning tool 1 can be determined according to the positions of the connecting plate screws on the refrigerator door body. The first side of the cabinet door 3 can be selected from the left and right sides of the cabinet door 3; the second side of the cabinet door 3 can be selected from the bottom side of the cabinet door 3; because the height of the refrigerator is fixed when it leaves the factory, and the first door body screw hole and the second door body screw hole position are provided on the refrigerator door body, the preset height from the second side of the cabinet door 3 to the installation position of the first connecting plate 41 is the distance from the bottom of the refrigerator door body to the position of the first door body screw hole; the preset distance from the first side of the cabinet door 3 to the installation position of the first connecting plate 41 is the distance from the side of the refrigerator door body to the position of the first door body screw hole; the preset spacing between the installation positions of the first connecting plate 41 and the second connecting plate 42 is the distance between the first door body screw hole and the second door body screw hole.

[0058] The built-in refrigerator installation and positioning tool can quickly and conveniently position the connecting plate on the cabinet door 3 through the provided positioning block 11 and multiple connecting plate positioning grooves, which can not only ensure that the gap between the refrigerator and the cabinet body is uniform and consistent, but also improve the accuracy of positioning; it can also significantly reduce the time and installation steps required for installation, reduce the time for measurement and adjustment, make the entire installation process more efficient and quick, reduce the technical difficulty of installation, and improve the operability of installation, so as to solve the problem of low installation efficiency of built-in refrigerators and cabinet doors.

[0059] In some embodiments, the built-in refrigerator installation positioning tool also includes: a second positioning tool 2 for positioning the hanging plate position; a hanging plate positioning slot 21 is provided on one side of the second positioning tool 2, and the hanging plate positioning slot 21 is used to plug in the hanging plate 5; the third positioning side is connected to the first positioning card edge 16, and the first positioning card edge 16 is located on the second positioning surface 19; the second positioning tool 2 is provided with a connecting protrusion 221, and the first positioning tool 1 is provided with a connecting hole 171; the connecting protrusion 221 is used to plug in the connecting hole 171; the first positioning tool 1 is also provided with a fourth connecting plate positioning slot 15, and the distance from the fourth connecting plate positioning slot 15 to the hanging plate positioning slot 21 is equal to the preset distance from the first connecting plate to the installation position of the hanging plate 5.

[0060] It should be understood that the number of the hanging plate positioning slots 21 can be two. When the heights of the two refrigerator doors in the same refrigerator are different, the two hanging plate positioning slots 21 can be used to position the hanging plates 5 to be connected to the two refrigerator doors. Since the door body of the refrigerator is provided with the door hanging plate bolt 7 position when the refrigerator leaves the factory, the preset distance from the first connecting member to the installation position of the hanging plate 5 is the distance from the first door body screw hole to the door body hanging plate bolt 7. The width of the hanging plate positioning slot 21 is equal to the width of the hanging plate 5, and the length of the hanging plate positioning slot 21 is greater than or equal to 1 / 2 of the length of the hanging plate 5.

[0061] The second positioning tool 2 is connected to the connecting hole 171 via the connecting protrusion 221, so that the first positioning tool 1 and the second positioning tool 2 are spliced ​​into a whole, and then the first positioning tool 1 is positioned by the first positioning clamp edge 16 and the fourth connecting plate positioning groove 15, and the installation position of the hanging plate 5 is quickly and accurately positioned through the hanging plate positioning slot 21, which not only reduces installation errors and improves the accuracy and consistency of the overall installation, but also reduces the demand for tools and manpower during the installation process, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0062] In some embodiments, the number of the connecting protrusions 221 and the connecting holes 171 is four; the connecting protrusion 221 includes a first protrusion portion and a second protrusion portion, the second protrusion portion is a cylindrical structure, one end of the second protrusion portion is fixedly connected to the second positioning tool 2, and the other end of the second protrusion portion is fixedly connected to the first protrusion portion; the first protrusion portion is a conical structure, and the diameter of the first protrusion portion away from the end of the second protrusion portion is smaller than the diameter of the second protrusion portion close to the second positioning tool 2.

[0063] It should be understood that the position points of the four connecting protrusions 221 and the corresponding connecting holes 171 can be connected into a rectangle, so that the connection between the first positioning tool 1 and the second positioning tool 2 is more secure, the displacement during use is reduced, and the stability of the entire splicing structure is improved to ensure the reliability of the installation of the built-in refrigerator.

[0064] The first protrusion of the conical structure facilitates the connection between the connection protrusion 221 and the connection hole 171, avoiding the situation that the connection protrusion 221 is slightly deformed due to long-term use and the connection protrusion 221 is too many, which makes it difficult to connect the connection protrusion 221 with the connection hole 171. The second protrusion of the cylindrical structure can not only evenly distribute stress and reduce stress concentration, but also make the connection between the connection protrusion 221 and the connection hole 171 tighter.

[0065] In some embodiments, a flange structure 161 is provided on a side of the first positioning clamping edge 16 close to the second positioning surface 19 , and the flange structure 161 is perpendicular to the second positioning surface 19 .

[0066] The flange structure 161 can not only increase the contact area between the first positioning edge 16 and the second positioning surface 19, improve the stability of the connection, and prevent loosening or displacement during use; it can also cooperate with the cabinet to help more accurately align and fix the first positioning edge 16 and the second positioning surface 19 during the installation process, reduce installation errors, and improve the accuracy and consistency of the overall installation.

[0067] In some other embodiments, the fourth positioning side surface is also provided with a flange structure 161 on the inner side close to the positioning block 11, which forms an L-shaped contact surface with the first positioning surface 18, so as to fit the cabinet door 3 more securely and prevent loosening or displacement during use.

[0068] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first connecting plate positioning groove 12 , the fourth connecting plate positioning groove 15 , the second connecting plate positioning groove 13 and the third connecting plate positioning groove 14 are all greater than half the thickness of the first connecting plate 41 , and are less than or equal to the height of the first positioning clamping edge 16 .

[0069] The thickness of the first connecting plate positioning groove 12, the fourth connecting plate positioning groove 15, the second connecting plate positioning groove 13 and the third connecting plate positioning groove 14 are all greater than half of the thickness of the first connecting plate 41, which can not only increase the contact area between the positioning groove and the connecting plate, but also improve the stability and firmness of the entire positioning structure; it can also support the connecting plate, which is convenient for the subsequent fixation of the connecting plate. The thickness of the first connecting plate positioning groove 12, the fourth connecting plate positioning groove 15, the second connecting plate positioning groove 13 and the third connecting plate positioning groove 14 is less than or equal to the height of the first positioning clamping edge 16, which can ensure sufficient strength to support the connecting plate and avoid excessive increase in material costs.

[0070] In some embodiments, a second positioning fixture 2 is provided with a second positioning edge 23 on a side away from the hanging plate positioning slot 21, and a distance from the second positioning edge 23 to the hanging plate positioning slot 21 is equal to a preset distance from the first side of the cabinet door 3 to the hanging plate installation position.

[0071] It should be understood that the preset distance from the first side of the cabinet door 3 to the mounting position of the hanging plate is the distance from the side of the refrigerator door to the door hanging plate bolt 7 .

[0072] The second positioning fixture 2 is further positioned by the second positioning edge 23, and the hanging plate 5 is more easily aligned and fixed with the second positioning edge 23, which can not only ensure the accurate positioning of the hanging plate 5, reduce installation errors, and improve the accuracy and consistency of the overall installation; but also reduce installation time and labor costs, and reduce the technical difficulty of installation. In addition, when the hanging plate 5 needs to be disassembled or adjusted, the second positioning edge 23 provides an additional support point, making the operation simpler and faster.

[0073] In some embodiments, a first splicing portion 17 is provided at a position of the second positioning surface 19 away from the positioning block 11, and the connecting hole 171 is provided on the first splicing portion 17; a second splicing portion 22 is provided on a side of the second positioning tool 2 away from the hanging plate positioning slot 21, and the connecting protrusion 221 is fixedly connected to the second splicing portion 22; the first splicing portion 17 and the second splicing portion 22 are detachably connected, and after connection, the first positioning surface 18 and the side of the second positioning tool 2 away from the first splicing portion 17 are located in the same plane.

[0074] It should be understood that the detachable connection mode of the first splicing part 17 and the second splicing part 22 can be selected by abutting or plugging, so as to ensure that the overall thickness after splicing is consistent and can fit closely with the surface of the cabinet.

[0075] The first joint portion 17 and the second joint portion 22 can not only ensure the precise alignment between the first positioning fixture 1 and the second positioning fixture 2, but also ensure that the first positioning surface 18 and the side of the second positioning fixture 2 away from the first joint portion 17 after splicing are located in the same plane, so as to fit tightly with the surface of the cabinet, prevent the possibility of a decrease in accuracy due to up and down shaking or shifting during use, reduce installation errors, and improve the accuracy and consistency of the overall installation.

[0076] In some embodiments, the flange structure 161 is composed of a plurality of straight edges perpendicular to the second positioning surface 19, the straight edges are of the same shape and evenly distributed, and can form an L-shaped contact surface with the second positioning surface 19 to more securely fit the cabinet door 3 and prevent loosening or displacement during use. The first positioning card edge 16 with the flange structure 161 can also be used as a ruler, for example, the spacing between each adjacent straight edge is set to a specific scale to facilitate the determination of measurement dimensions.

[0077] In some embodiments, the built-in refrigerator installation and positioning tool can also add other tooling components, which are used in conjunction with each other through splicing and assembly to position other installation components. The other tooling components can be provided with the same positioning grooves as other installation components, such as circular, rectangular, or irregular shapes.

[0078] See also Figure 4 Some embodiments of the present application also provide a method for installing and positioning an embedded refrigerator, which is applied to the embedded refrigerator installation and positioning tooling described in the above embodiment, and the method includes:

[0079] The first positioning surface 18 of the first positioning fixture 1 is fitted onto the cabinet door 3 , and the third side of the positioning block 11 is clamped onto the bottom of the first side of the cabinet door 3 .

[0080] It should be understood that due to the inconsistency of cabinet door manufacturers and cabinet decoration styles, the height and thickness of the cabinet door 3 sent by the manufacturer are also different. Before installation, the cabinet door 3 is separated from the refrigerator door body, so it is necessary to first place the cabinet door 3 on the workbench to install and position the connecting plate, and place the side connected to the refrigerator door body facing up. If the refrigerator is a two-door refrigerator, the first side of the cabinet door 3 can be the right side of the cabinet door 3. If the refrigerator is a four-door refrigerator, because the distance between the doors in the refrigerator remains relatively unchanged, the first side of the cabinet door 3 can be the side of the cabinet door 3 corresponding to the side of the refrigerator door body between the two doors of the refrigerator.
