The side of the second end 572 of the slider 57 facing away from the driving device 53 is connected with the input end 521 of the hydraulic component 52. Among them, the first end 71 of the slider 57 is arranged opposite to the second end 572 of the slider 57.

[0039] In this embodiment, the power transmission structure 5 further includes a connecting frame 56, and the connecting frame 56 detachably connects the hydraulic component 52 and the driving device 53. As Figure 8As shown in the figure, one end of the connecting frame 56 is detachably connected to the input end 521 of the hydraulic component 52, and the other end of the connecting frame 56 is connected to the side of the second end 572 of the slider 57 opposite to the driving device 53. Since the connecting frame 56 is detachable, it can be removed and installed arbitrarily, and can be used for the connection of different hydraulic components and other driving devices.

[0040] As described above, in this embodiment, the power transmission structure 5 adopts an automatic driving method, which can realize the movement of the first connection structure (fixed to the door panel) relative to the second connection structure (fixed to the refrigerator door body) in all directions of up and down, left and right, and front and back, which can save manpower and improve the installation efficiency.

[0041] In addition, as Figures 3 - 5 shown, a first fixing portion 23 is provided on the first connection structure 2, a second fixing portion 33 is provided on the second connection structure 3, a third fixing portion 41 and a fourth fixing portion 42 are provided on the link assembly 4, and the link assembly 4 is fixedly connected to the first connection structure 2 and the second connection structure 3 by fixing the first fixing portion 23 to the third fixing portion 41 and connecting the second fixing portion 33 to the fourth fixing portion 42. Among them, the link assembly 4 includes a first link 43 and a second link 44 that are rotatably connected.

[0043] In addition, the first joint portion 21 includes a first sub-joint portion and a second sub-joint portion, the fourth joint portion 55 includes a third sub-joint portion and a fourth sub-joint portion, the first sub-joint portion and the third sub-joint portion are combined to drive the movement along the second direction D2 by the hydraulic component 52, and the second sub-joint portion and the fourth sub-joint portion are combined to drive the movement along the third direction D3 by the hydraulic component 52.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first sub - coupling portion includes a first plate body 211 and a second plate body 212 arranged in parallel, and the first plate body 211 is located on the side of the second plate body 212 away from the second connection structure 3.

The first stopper 552 is limited within the first gap 213 in the second direction D2, and the first connecting rod 551 can move back and forth in the first slot 214 in the third direction D3. That is, when the hydraulic component 52 drives the first connecting rod 551 to move along the second direction D2, since the first stopper 552 is limited within the first gap 213 between the first plate body 211 and the second plate body 212, the first coupling portion 21 will also move along the second direction D2 with the first connecting rod 551 and the first stopper 552, so as to realize the movement adjustment of the first connection structure in the longitudinal direction of the door panel.

[0045] The second sub - coupling portion includes a third plate body 215 and a fourth plate body 216 arranged in parallel.

And preferably, the second connecting rod 553 is perpendicular to the first connecting rod 551. That is, when the hydraulic component 52 drives the second connecting rod 553 to move along the third direction D3, since the second stopper 554 is limited within the second gap 217 between the third plate body 215 and the fourth plate body 216, the first coupling portion 21 will also move along the third direction D3 with the second connecting rod 553 and the second stopper 554, so as to realize the movement adjustment of the first connection structure in the transverse direction of the door panel.

[0046] In addition, a first notch 219 extending along the first direction D1 is formed in the first plate body 211. The first notch 219 communicates with the first slot 214 to allow the first connecting rod 551 to enter and exit the first slot 214. A second notch 220 extending along the first direction D1 is formed in the third plate body 215. The second notch 220 communicates with the second slot 218 to allow the second connecting rod 553 to enter and exit the second slot 218. In this way, when the power transmission mechanism 5 is integrally mounted on the second connection structure 3, interference will not occur.

[0047] In addition, the present invention further provides an embedded refrigerator, which includes the installation device 1 of the embedded refrigerator door body as described above.
