However, the embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional changes made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Terms used herein to denote relative spatial positions, such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are used for ease of explanation to describe the relationship of one feature relative to another, as shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that, depending on the placement of the product, these terms may be intended to encompass orientations other than those depicted in the drawings and should not be construed as limitations on the claims. Furthermore, the descriptor "horizontal" as used herein does not necessarily mean perpendicular to gravity, although some degree of tilt is permitted.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8Shown is a schematic diagram of the installation device of the built-in refrigerator door of the present invention. For the sake of convenience, the following description will be made with the side of the built-in refrigerator facing the user as the front side and the other side opposite to it as the rear side. At the same time, one of the directions perpendicular to the front-to-back direction is regarded as the left-right direction, that is, the horizontal direction, and the other direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction is regarded as the up-down direction, that is, the height direction.

[0028] The mounting device of the built-in refrigerator door body includes a first connecting member 3 for fixedly connected to the cabinet door 1 and a second connecting member 4 for connecting to the refrigerator door body 2. The mounting device also includes an adjusting member 5 rotatably connected to the first and second connecting members 3 and 4. The adjusting member 5 has a coupling portion 51 rotatably matched with the first connecting member 3 and limited on the first connecting member 3 and an adjusting portion 52 threadedly connected to the second connecting member 4. The adjusting portion 52 rotates and drives the first connecting member 3 to move forward and backward to adjust the installation position of the cabinet door 1 in the front-to-back direction. In this way, the mounting device has a simple structure and low cost, and can effectively reduce the adjustment steps and improve installation efficiency.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 2 to 8 As shown, the first connecting member 3 has a first connecting portion 31 connected to the cabinet door 1 and a second connecting portion 32 cooperating with the adjusting member 5, the first connecting portion 31 is located on the front side of the second connecting portion 32, and the second connecting portion 32 is provided with a connecting hole 321 passing through it along the front-to-back direction for the connecting portion 51 to be inserted.

[0030] In the present invention, at least a portion of the thread of the adjusting member 5 is exposed at the rear side of the second connecting member 4 so that the adjusting member 5 has a thread long enough to achieve rotational adjustment.

[0031] Furthermore, the adjusting member 5 is exposed rearwardly to the rear side of the refrigerator door 2 for rotational operation, thereby facilitating the installation personnel to perform rotational adjustment directly on the rear side of the refrigerator door 2 .

[0032] Specifically, the adjusting member 5 is also provided with a limiting portion 53 abutting against the first connecting member 3. The diameter of the limiting portion 53 is larger than the diameter of the coupling portion 51. The front end surfaces of the limiting portion 53 and the adjusting portion 52 clamp the first connecting member 3 and limit it forward and backward, so that the first connecting member 3 moves forward and backward under the force exerted by the limiting portion 53 and the adjusting portion 52.

[0033] The coupling portion 51 is adapted to the coupling hole 321 so that the second connecting portion 32 is sleeved on the coupling portion 51 , and the front and rear surfaces of the second connecting portion 32 respectively abut against the rear end surface of the limiting portion 53 and the front end surface of the adjusting portion 52 .

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting member 5 is riveted to the first connecting member 3, and a limiting portion 53 is riveted on the front side of the first connecting member 3; in other embodiments, the limiting portion 53 can also be set separately from the connecting portion 51, and after the connecting portion 51 is inserted into the first connecting member 3, the limiting portion 53 is installed at the front end of the connecting portion 51.

[0035] The installation device also includes a fastener 6 that fixes the first connecting member 3 and the second connecting member 4. When the front and rear positions of the cabinet door 1 are not adjusted to the predetermined position, the fastener 6 is in an unlocked state; when the front and rear positions of the cabinet door 1 are adjusted to the predetermined position, the fastener 6 is rotated and is in a locked state to crimp and lock the first connecting member 3 to the second connecting member 4.

[0036] The second connecting member 4 is provided with a horizontal connecting portion 41 for inserting the fastener 6 and a vertical connecting portion 42 for inserting the adjusting member 5. The second connecting portion 32 is located in front of the vertical connecting portion 42, and the distance between the second connecting portion 32 and the vertical connecting portion 42 is adjustable. The horizontal connecting portion 41 is installed on an end face of the refrigerator door body 2 in the height direction. In this embodiment, the horizontal connecting portion 41 is installed on the lower end face of the refrigerator door body 2.

[0037] The first connecting member 3 also has a third connecting portion 33 connecting the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32. The third connecting portion 33 is arranged in parallel with the horizontal connecting portion 41. The third connecting portion 33 is provided with a sliding groove 331 extending along the front-to-back direction for the fastener 6 to move relatively forward and backward therein.

[0038] Specifically, when the front and rear position of the cabinet door 1 needs to be adjusted, the fastener 6 is unlocked and the fastener 6 can move forward and backward along the slide groove 331. Since the relative positions of the fastener 6 and the second connecting member 4 in the front and rear directions are fixed, the first connecting member 3 moves in the front and rear directions relative to the fastener 6 and the second connecting member 4.

[0039] Furthermore, the horizontal connecting portion 41 is provided with a first connecting hole 411 formed through it in the up-down direction, and the vertical connecting portion 42 is provided with a second connecting hole 421 formed through it in the front-to-back direction. The aperture of the first connecting hole 411 is adapted to the outer diameter of the insertion portion 61 of the fastener 6, thereby limiting the displacement of the fastener 6 relative to the second connecting member 4 in the left-right and front-to-back directions, so that the fastener 6 can only rotate within the first connecting hole 411; the aperture of the second connecting hole 421 is adapted to the outer diameter of the adjusting portion 52, thereby limiting the movement of the adjusting member 5 in the up-down and left-to-right directions, so that the adjusting member 5 can only rotate within the second connecting hole 421.

[0040] The sliding groove 331 is located directly below the first connecting hole 411 , and the orthographic projection of the first connecting hole 411 on the horizontal plane always falls inside the orthographic projection of the sliding groove 331 on the horizontal plane.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first connection portion 31 and the second connection portion 32 are both extended downward from the third connection portion 33 , and the first connection portion 31 extends downward beyond the bottom end of the second connection portion 32 , and the bottom end of the second connection portion 32 is flush with the bottom end of the vertical connection portion 42 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the vertical connecting portion 42 also has a protruding portion 422 protruding forward, and the second connecting hole 421 is opened on the protruding portion 422. The second connecting hole 421 is provided with an internal thread that cooperates with the adjusting portion 52, thereby increasing the thread length of the second connecting hole 421 by setting the protruding portion 422.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the adjusting portion 52 rotates clockwise, the depth of its insertion into the second connecting hole 421 increases, and the adjusting member 5 has a tendency to move forward. The front end surface of the adjusting portion 52 pushes the rear surface of the second connecting portion 32 to make the first connecting member 3 move forward, thereby driving the cabinet door 1 to move forward; when the adjusting portion 52 rotates counterclockwise, the depth of its insertion into the second connecting hole 421 decreases, and the adjusting member 5 has a tendency to move backward. The rear end surface of the limiting portion 53 pushes the front surface of the second connecting portion 32 to make the first connecting member 3 move backward, thereby driving the cabinet door 1 to move backward.

[0044] The first connecting member 3 further comprises a folded edge 34 formed by bending forward from the bottom end of the first connecting portion 31 . The folded edge 34 is located at the lower side of the cabinet door 1 to stop and limit it.

[0045] The second connecting member 4 also has a pair of bent portions 431 bent downward from the left and right ends of the horizontal connecting portion 41 and a pair of arm portions 432 extending toward each other from the pair of bent portions 431. The arm portions 432 are spaced apart from the horizontal connecting portion 41 in the height direction to sandwich the third connecting portion 33 therebetween.

[0046] In addition, the mounting device also includes a fixing part 7 installed on the refrigerator door body 2, and the fixing part 7 is provided with a through hole 71 formed through it in the front-to-back direction and a pair of notches 72 arranged on the left and right sides of the through hole 71. The adjusting part 5 is exposed to the rear side from the through hole 71, and the inner diameter of the through hole 71 is larger than the outer diameter of the adjusting part 5.

[0047] In this embodiment, the mounting device further includes a two-way adjustment structure 8 mounted on the refrigerator door body 2. Furthermore, the first connecting portion 31 is provided with a two-way adjustment slot 311 formed along the front-to-back direction, and the two-way adjustment slot 311 extends in the height direction for the two-way adjustment structure 8 to be inserted and can move therein in the up-down and left-right directions. The height of the two-way adjustment slot 311 in the height direction is greater than its width in the left-right direction, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the first connecting member 3 and the cabinet door 1 in the height direction and the left-right direction. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a pair of the two-way adjustment structures 8 are aligned with the corresponding notches 72 to be exposed to the rear side, and a pair of the two-way adjustment mechanisms are placed on the left and right sides of the adjustment member 5. Figure 8 As shown, the central axis of the bidirectional adjustment mechanism 8 is located below the central axis of the adjustment member 3, so as to facilitate the adjustment operation of the installer.

[0048] In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the installation device of the built-in refrigerator door includes a pair of adjusting members 5 arranged at intervals on the left and right, a pair of second connecting members 4 arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the pair of adjusting members 5, and a pair of first connecting members 3 arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the second connecting members 4; in other embodiments, the installation device of the built-in refrigerator door may also have only one second connecting member 4, and the pair of adjusting members 5 and the pair of first connecting members 3 are connected by one second connecting member 4.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the installation device of the built-in refrigerator door also includes a decorative cover 9 that covers the second connecting member 4 from the bottom side. The decorative cover 9 has a main body 91 and an assembly portion 92 that protrudes upward from the main body 91 to be inserted into the corresponding notch 72. The shape of the assembly portion 92 is adapted to the shape of the notch 72, and the two-way adjustment mechanism 8 is exposed backward from the curved space of the assembly portion 92.

[0050] In the present invention, the installation device of the built-in refrigerator door body is connected to the cabinet door and the refrigerator door body respectively through the first and second connecting parts 3 and 4 that are connected to each other, and uses the rotational movement of the adjustment part 5 rotatably connected to the first and second connecting parts 3 and 4 to drive the first connecting part 3 and the cabinet door 1 to move forward and backward, thereby realizing the adjustment of the installation position of the cabinet door 1 in the front and rear directions. It has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy and efficient to adjust.
