Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of built-in refrigerators, and particularly to an installation device and an installation method for a refrigerator door body and a door panel of a built-in refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] For the sake of aesthetics, when installing a built-in refrigerator, the refrigerator body needs to be embedded into the installation space reserved in a household cabinet. However, in order to ensure overall coordination with the cabinet after being embedded in the household cabinet, generally a door panel, such as a wooden door panel, needs to be installed outside the refrigerator door body. However, due to manual installation, there will inevitably be errors. Therefore, the installation structure needs to be able to achieve three-dimensional adjustment. The existing adjustment structures have poor positioning, are cumbersome to adjust, and take a long time.

[0003] Therefore, how to reduce the installation difficulty of the built-in refrigerator door body and improve the installation accuracy has become an urgent technical problem for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention provides an installation device and an installation method for a refrigerator door body and a door panel of a built-in refrigerator.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an installation device for a refrigerator door body and a door panel of a built-in refrigerator, and the installation device for the refrigerator door body and the door panel includes:

[0006] A hanging bracket, which is fixedly arranged on the first side of the refrigerator door body facing the door panel;

[0007] A positioning element, which is arranged around the cabinet body of the cabinet for positioning the four sides of the door panel and is detachably connected with the positioning holes on the hanging bracket after the positioning holes are formed;

[0008] A clamping seat, which is arranged on the first side of the door panel facing the refrigerator door body and is located at a preset position on the door panel. The preset position corresponds to the hanging bracket when the door panel is positioned on the cabinet body;

[0009] A first magnetic element;

[0010] A positioning pen, which is installed in the clamping seat for forming a positioning hole mark on the hanging bracket and is removed after the positioning hole is formed. The positioning pen includes an installation cylinder, a second magnetic element and a pen body. The second magnetic element has the same polarity as the first magnetic element. The second magnetic element and the pen body are positioned in the installation cylinder. The first magnetic element is placed on the opposite side of the first side of the door panel. The repulsive force causes the second magnetic element to drive the pen body to move so that the pen tip extends out of the installation cylinder and contacts the hanging bracket to form the positioning hole mark on the hanging bracket;

[0011] A card connector is used to cooperate with the card seat after the positioning hole is formed to fix the door panel on the hanger.

[0012] As an optional technical solution, a first through hole and a second through hole that are communicated with each other are arranged in the installation cylinder. The diameter of the first through hole is larger than that of the second through hole. The second magnetic element and the pen body are positioned in the first through hole, and the pen tip of the pen body extends into the second through hole. The first magnetic element and the second magnetic element repel each other with the same pole to push the second magnetic element to move in a first direction, where the first direction is the direction from the first through hole to the second through hole.

[0013] As an optional technical solution, the positioning pen further includes an elastic element. The elastic element is located in the first through hole. When the second magnetic element moves in the first direction, the elastic element is compressed, and the elastic element provides a restoring force for the second magnetic element and the pen body to return to their original positions.

[0014] As an optional technical solution, the second magnetic element, the pen body, and the elastic element are sequentially arranged in the first through hole along the first direction; and a dye is provided on the pen tip.

[0015] As an optional technical solution, a sliding cover is further included. The sliding cover is arranged on the side of the second magnetic element away from the elastic element and is used to abut against the second magnetic element so that the second magnetic element abuts against the pen body.

[0016] As an optional technical solution, the positioning element includes a plurality of first positioning members. The plurality of first positioning members are located around the cabinet body facing the door body. Each first positioning member includes a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion. The first limiting portion abuts and connects to the cabinet body, and the second limiting portion restricts the displacement of the door panel in the width direction, height direction, and depth direction of the door panel.

[0017] As an optional technical solution, the second limiting portion includes a first plate body, a second plate body, and a third plate body that are perpendicular to each other. When the door panel is positioned in the second limiting portion, a first side of the door panel abuts against the first plate body, a side edge of the door panel abuts against the second plate body, and an end portion of the door panel abuts against the third plate body.

[0018] As an optional technical solution, a fixing member is further included. The fixing member is arranged at the bottom of the refrigerator door body, and the fixing member is used to fix the lower part of the door panel to the bottom of the refrigerator door body.

The positioning element 2 is arranged around the cabinet body 9 of the cabinet. The positioning element 2 is used to position the four sides of the door panel 8 and is detachably formed with the positioning holes 11 on the hanging rack 1 (please refer to

[0046] Please refer to Figures 4-5 simultaneously, Figure 4 which is a combined schematic diagram of the clamping seat and the clamping joint of the installation device of the present invention; Figure 5 is the exploded schematic diagram of the clamping seat and the clamping joint of the installation device of the present invention, Figure 6 is the schematic diagram of the positioning pen of the installation device of the present invention; Figure 7 is the exploded schematic diagram of the positioning pen of the installation device of the present invention; Figure 8 is another angle schematic diagram of the positioning pen of the installation device of the present invention; Figure 9 is along Figure 8A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the middle AA line. The holder 3 is arranged on the first side 81 of the door panel 8 facing the refrigerator door body 7, and is located at a preset position of the door panel 8, and the preset position corresponds to the hanger when the door panel is positioned on the cabinet. The positioning pen 5 is installed in the holder 3, and the positioning pen 5 is used to form a positioning hole mark on the hanger 1 and is removed from the holder 3 after the positioning hole 11 is formed. The positioning pen 5 includes a mounting tube 51, a second magnetic element 52 and a pen body 53, and the magnetism of the second magnetic element 52 is the same as the polarity of the first magnetic element. The mounting tube 51 is provided with a first through hole 54 and a second through hole 55 that are connected, wherein the diameter of the first through hole 54 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 55, the second magnetic element 52 and the pen body 53 are positioned in the first through hole 55, and the pen head 531 of the pen body 53 extends into the second through hole 55. That is to say, the second magnetic element 52 and the pen body 53 will not be separated from the first through hole 54, but the pen tip 531 of the pen body 53 can be extended into the second through hole. After the door panel 8 is positioned on the cabinet 9 by the positioning element 2, the first magnetic element is placed on the second side 82 of the door panel 8, and the first side 81 of the door panel 8 is opposite to the second side 82 of the door panel 8. Since the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element 52 have the same polarity and repel each other, the repulsive force provided by the first magnetic element will push the second magnetic element 52 to move in the first direction D1, and the second magnetic element 52 will drive the pen body 53 to move along the first direction D1 so that the pen tip 53 extends out of the second through hole 55 and contacts the hanger 1, forming the positioning hole mark on the hanger 1, wherein the first direction D1 is the direction from the first through hole 54 to the second through hole 55.

[0047] Moreover, the structure of the clamping joint 6 matches the structure of the clamping seat 3, so as to form the positioning hole 11 to cooperate with the clamping seat 3 to fix the door panel 8 on the hanger 1. Figure 10 , Figure 10 It is a schematic diagram of a hanger of the installation device of the present invention; wherein the clamping joint 6 is locked on the hanger 1 by, for example, using screws 4 combined with positioning holes 11.

[0048] Moreover, preferably, the positioning pen 5 further includes an elastic element 56. The elastic element 56 is located within the first through hole 54. When the second magnetic element 52 moves in the first direction D1, the elastic element 56 is compressed, and the elastic element 56 provides a restoring force for the second magnetic element 52 and the pen body 53 to return to their original positions. In this embodiment, the second magnetic element 52, the pen body 53, and the elastic element 56 are sequentially arranged within the first through hole 54 along the first direction D1.
