DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 , the door panel mounting and supporting mechanism of the present application comprises a fixing member 1 and a support assembly 2. The support assembly 2 is connected to the fixing member 1, and the support assembly 2 can rotate and move relative to the fixing member 1. The support assembly 2 can be used for, but not limited to, carrying and adjusting the cabinet door panel (not shown). In the present application, the support assembly 2 carrying and adjusting the cabinet door panel is taken as an example for illustration.

[0034] In an embodiment, the door panel mounting and supporting mechanism is fixed by the fixing member 1. Part of the support assembly 2 is connected to the fixing member 1 and located in the cavity of the fixing member 1. The fixing member 1 comprises a telescopic cavity 11, a limiting cavity 12 and an elastic member cavity 14. The limiting cavity 12 is located between the telescopic cavity 11 and the elastic member cavity 14, and the limiting cavity 12 communicates with the telescopic cavity 11 and the elastic member cavity 14. Part of the support assembly 2 can move between the limiting cavity 12 and the telescopic cavity 11, thereby changing the relative position between the support assembly 2 and the fixing member 1.

[0035] The fixing member 1 comprises an elastic member 13. The elastic member 13 is arranged in the cavity of the fixing member 1 and connected with the support assembly 2, and the elastic member 13 is used for assisting the support assembly 2 to reset. Specifically, in the height direction of the fixing member 1, the elastic member cavity 14 is located below the limiting cavity 12, the telescopic cavity 11 is located above the limiting cavity 12, the elastic member 13 can be located in the elastic member cavity 14 when it is compressed, and the elastic member 13 can extend into the telescopic cavity 11 when it releases the elastic force.

[0036] When the support assembly 2 moves downward relative to the fixed member 1, the support assembly 2 compresses the elastic member 13, and the elastic member 13 exerts an upward pressing force on the support assembly 2. After the support assembly 2 is reset, the elastic member 13 still exerts an upward pressing force on the support assembly 2, thereby preventing the support assembly 2 from moving downward under the influence of gravity and allowing the support assembly 2 to stably stay in the reset position.

[0037] Alternatively, the elastic member 13 can be located in the telescopic cavity 11. When the support assembly 2 moves downward relative to the fixed member 1, the support assembly 2 stretches the elastic member 13, and the elastic member 13 exerts an upward stretching force on the support assembly 2. After the support assembly 2 is reset, the elastic member 13 still exerts an upward stretching force on the support assembly 2, thereby preventing the support assembly 2 from moving downward under the influence of gravity and allowing the support assembly 2 to stably stay in the reset position.

[0038] In another embodiment, the telescopic cavity 11 is located between the limiting cavity 12 and the elastic member cavity 14, and in the height direction of the fixed member 1, the elastic member cavity 14 is located above the telescopic cavity 11, the limiting cavity 12 is located below the telescopic cavity 11, and the elastic member 13 is located in the elastic member cavity 14. When the support assembly 2 moves downward relative to the fixed member 1, the support assembly 2 stretches the elastic member 13, and the elastic member 13 exerts an upward stretching force on the support assembly 2, and the elastic member 13 can extend from the elastic member cavity 14 into the telescopic cavity 11. After the support assembly 2 is reset, the elastic member 13 still exerts an upward stretching force on the support assembly 2, thereby preventing the support assembly 2 from moving downward under the influence of gravity and allowing the support assembly 2 to stably stay in the reset position.

[0039] Alternatively, the elastic member 13 can be located in the telescopic cavity 11. When the support assembly 2 moves downward relative to the fixed member 1, the support assembly 2 stretches the elastic member 13, and the elastic member 13 exerts an upward stretching force on the support assembly 2. After the support assembly 2 is reset, the elastic member 13 still exerts an upward stretching force on the support assembly 2, thereby preventing the support assembly 2 from moving downward under the influence of gravity and allowing the support assembly 2 to stably stay in the reset position.

[0040] In combination Figures 5 to 6 As shown, in an embodiment, the fixed member 1 includes a first limiting wall 101 and a second limiting wall 102. The first limiting wall 101 is located in the limiting cavity 12, and the first limiting wall 101 is used to limit the angle of rotation of the support assembly 2 relative to the fixed member 1. The first limiting wall 101 is parallel to the height direction of the fixed member 1. When the limiting cavity 12 is located between the telescopic cavity 11 and the elastic member cavity 14, the second limiting wall 102 is located between the elastic member cavity 14 and the limiting cavity 12, and the second limiting wall 102 is used to prevent the part of the support assembly 2 extending into the fixed member 1 from entering the elastic member cavity 14. When the telescopic cavity 11 is located between the limiting cavity 12 and the elastic member cavity 14, the second limiting wall 102 is located between the elastic member cavity 14 and the telescopic cavity 11, and the second limiting wall 102 is used to prevent the part of the support assembly 2 extending into the fixed member 1 from entering the elastic member cavity 14 from the telescopic cavity 11. The second limiting wall 102 is arranged horizontally.

[0041] In one embodiment, to facilitate the manufacturing and installation of the fastener 1, the fastener 1 includes a first housing 16 and a second housing 17. The first housing 16 and the second housing 17 are detachably connected, thereby facilitating their assembly and disassembly. The first housing 16 and the second housing 17 together cover the telescopic cavity 11, the limiting cavity 12, and the elastic element cavity 14. The telescopic cavity 11, the limiting cavity 12, and the elastic element cavity 14 are formed within the first housing 16 and the second housing 17.

[0042] The first housing 16 includes claws 161, positioning protrusions 162, and a first mounting surface 163. The claws 161 are located on opposite sides of the first housing 16 and protrude from the first housing 16 towards the second housing 17. The claws 161 protrude beyond the first mounting surface 163. To ensure the stability of the assembly between the first housing 16 and the second housing 17, multiple claws 161 are provided on both opposite sides of the first housing 16, and are spaced apart along the height direction of the fixing member 1.

[0043] A positioning protrusion 162 is disposed on the first assembly surface 163 and protrudes from the first assembly surface 163. The protrusion direction of the positioning protrusion 162 is the same as the protrusion direction of the claw 161. Multiple positioning protrusions 162 are provided.

[0044] The second housing 17 includes a latching protrusion 171, a positioning groove 172, and a second mounting surface 173. The latching protrusion 171 is located on opposite sides of the second housing 17 and protrudes in a direction parallel to the second mounting surface 173. The protrusion direction of the latching protrusion 171 is also perpendicular to the height direction of the fixing member 1. The latching protrusion 171 engages with the latching claw 161, and the number of latching protrusions 171 corresponds one-to-one with the number of latching claws 161.

[0045] A positioning groove 172 is provided on the second mounting surface 173 and is recessed from the second mounting surface 173. The positioning groove 172 cooperates with the positioning protrusion 162, and the number of positioning grooves 172 corresponds one-to-one with the number of positioning protrusions 162. When the first housing 16 and the second housing 17 are engaged, the first mounting surface 163 is in contact with the second mounting surface 173.

[0046] In another embodiment, the first housing 16 may have a pawl 161 on one side and a rotating shaft (not shown) on the other side. The second housing 17 may have a latching protrusion 171 on one side and a rotating hole (not shown) on the other side. The first housing 16 and the second housing 17 are opened and closed by the engagement of the rotating shaft and the rotating hole, and are fixed by the engagement of the pawl 161 and the latching protrusion 171. Alternatively, the first housing 16 may have a pawl 161 on its upper side and a rotating shaft (not shown) on its lower side, while the second housing 17 may have a latching protrusion 171 on its upper side and a rotating hole (not shown) on its lower side.

[0047] Admittedly, the first housing 16 and the second housing 17 can also be fixed by means of bolts, rivets or adhesives, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the first housing 16 and the second housing 17.

[0048] Combined again Figures 2 to 3 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the support assembly 2 includes an adjusting member 21 and a connecting rod 22. One end of the connecting rod 22 is connected to the fixing member 1, and a portion of the connecting rod 22 is located within the fixing member 1. The other end of the connecting rod 22 is connected to the adjusting member 21, which is used to support and adjust the cabinet door panel.

[0049] The adjusting member 21 can rotate axially about the connecting rod 22 relative to the fixed member 1, and can also move axially along the connecting rod 22 relative to the fixed member 1. This configuration allows the adjusting member 21 to be adjusted to different positions as needed, thereby improving the applicability of the door panel mounting support mechanism. Because the adjusting member 21 is rotatable, it can be hidden in its initial position when not in use; when in use, it can be rotated to the adjusted position, thus improving the ease of use of the door panel mounting support mechanism. Furthermore, the axial movement of the adjusting member 21 relative to the fixed member 1 along the connecting rod 22 allows it to adjust the cabinet door panel, facilitating installation and fine-tuning, and improving work efficiency.

[0050] In one embodiment, the connecting rod 22 is fixed to the fixing member 1. An adjusting member 21 is rotatably disposed on the connecting rod 22 and is movable relative to the connecting rod 22 along its axial direction. Alternatively, the adjusting member 21 may be fixed to one end of the connecting rod 22. The connecting rod 22 is rotatably disposed on the fixing member 1 and is movable relative to the fixing member 1 along its axial direction.

[0051] Alternatively, the connecting rod 22 can be rotatably connected to the fixed member 1 about its axial direction, and the adjusting member 21 can move relative to the connecting rod 22 along its axial direction. Alternatively, the connecting rod 22 can move relative to the fixed member 1 along its axial direction, and the adjusting member 21 can be rotatably connected to the connecting rod 22 about its axial direction. The adjusting member 21 may have a plate-like structure.

[0052] In one embodiment, the connecting rod 22 includes a limiting part 221 and a rod body 222. The limiting part 221 is always located within the fixing member 1, that is, the first housing 16 and the second housing 17 enclose the limiting part 221. Specifically, the telescopic cavity 11 and the limiting cavity 12 can accommodate the limiting part 221, so that the limiting part 221 can switch positions in the telescopic cavity 11 and the limiting cavity 12 as needed.

[0053] The limiting part 221 can move up and down along the axial direction of the connecting rod 22 within the telescopic cavity 11. The top wall of the telescopic cavity 11 and the second limiting wall 102 limit the movement distance of the limiting part 221. Furthermore, the second limiting wall 102 contacts the limiting part 221, preventing it from entering the elastic member cavity 14. The limiting part 221 can rotate around the axial direction of the connecting rod 22 within the limiting cavity 12. The first limiting wall 101 contacts the limiting part 221, limiting its rotation angle. The rotation angle of the limiting part 221 within the limiting cavity 12 is not less than 60 degrees and not more than 120 degrees. This arrangement ensures that the adjusting member 21 rotates beyond the fixed member 1 while simultaneously allowing for a larger area of ​​support and adjustment of the cabinet door panel.

[0054] The limiting part 221 rotates at a 90-degree angle within the limiting cavity 12. This arrangement maximizes the distance the adjusting member 21 extends beyond the fixing member 1, thereby providing a larger area for supporting and adjusting the cabinet door panel. When the limiting part 221 rotates within the limiting cavity 12, it can engage within the limiting cavity 12, thereby fixing the limiting part 221 axially along the connecting rod 22.

[0055] In one embodiment, multiple limiting cavities 12 can be provided at intervals along the axial direction of the connecting rod 22, thereby realizing multi-level adjustment of the limiting part 221, so that the connecting rod 22 can be moved to different positions as needed.

[0056] Combination Figure 8 As shown, the cross-section of the limiting part 221 is a curved rectangle, meaning that the cross-section of the limiting part 221 is formed by two parallel straight lines and two arcs, which facilitates the movement of the limiting part 221 within the telescopic cavity 11, its rotation within the limiting cavity 12, and its positioning. The cross-section of the telescopic cavity 11 is adapted to the cross-section of the limiting part 221. Of course, the cross-section of the limiting part 221 can also be elliptical, rectangular, or other shapes.

[0057] In one embodiment, one end of the elastic member 13 is connected to the limiting part 221, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the fixing member 1. When the limiting part 221 moves, the elastic member 13 applies a resisting force or a tensile force to the limiting part 221. At least when the limiting part 221 is located within the limiting cavity 12, the elastic member 13 applies an elastic force to the limiting part 221, thereby causing the limiting part 221 to tend to reset. With this configuration, when the limiting part 221 needs to reset, no manual force is required; the elastic member 13 is sufficient.

[0058] In one embodiment, the fixing member 1 is provided with only a telescopic cavity 11 and a limiting cavity 12, with the telescopic cavity 11 located above the limiting cavity 12. When the elastic member 13 is located inside the telescopic cavity 11 and the limiting part 221 is located inside the limiting cavity 12, the elastic member 13 applies a tensile force to the limiting part 221 to assist the limiting part 221 in resetting.

[0059] In one embodiment, the elastic member cavity 14 for accommodating the elastic member 13 is located below the limiting cavity 12. When the limiting part 221 is located in the limiting cavity 12, the elastic member 13 applies a resisting force to the limiting part 221 to assist the limiting part 221 in resetting.

[0060] While assisting the limiting part 221 in rapid reset, the elastic element 13 also provides damping force when the limiting part 221 moves downward along the axial direction of the connecting rod 22, making the movement of the limiting part 221 more stable. When the limiting part 221 moves downward, the elastic element 13 always applies an elastic force to the limiting part 221 in the opposite direction of its movement. After the limiting part 221 resets, the elastic element 13 can extend from the elastic element cavity 14 into the telescopic cavity 11.

[0061] To improve the elastic force of the elastic element 13, multiple elastic elements 13 are provided, and they are spaced apart axially around the connecting rod 22 between the inner wall of the fixing element 1 and the limiting part 221.

[0062] When the elastic element 13 is inside the elastic element cavity 14, the elastic element 13 is sleeved on the rod body 222, with one end of the elastic element 13 abutting against the limiting part 221 and the other end abutting against the bottom wall 15 of the fixing part 1. This arrangement can limit the elastic element 13 and prevent it from moving.

[0063] In one embodiment, the rod body 222 protrudes from the limiting portion 221. The rod body 222 includes a mounting portion 2221, the cross-section of which is a curved rectangle, and the cross-section of the mounting portion 2221 is similar to that of the limiting portion 221.

[0064] In one embodiment, the support assembly 2 includes a support plate 23. The support plate 23 is connected to the connecting rod 22. An adjusting member 21 is movably disposed on the support plate 23. Specifically, the support plate 23 is movably and / or rotatably connected to the connecting rod 22. Thus, the adjusting member 21 and the support plate 23 can cooperate with each other to achieve dual adjustment of the cabinet door panel. In this embodiment, the adjusting member 21 is indirectly connected to the connecting rod 22 via the support plate 23.

[0065] The adjusting component 21 can be a bolt structure, and by turning the adjusting component 21, the relative position between the adjusting component 21 and the support plate 23 can be changed, thereby adjusting the cabinet door panel. Alternatively, the adjusting component 21 can also be a cylinder structure.

[0066] The support plate 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 22, and the support plate 23 can rotate and move relative to the fixing member 1 with the connecting rod 22. Specifically, the support plate 23 is connected to the rod body 222 and is provided in the mounting part 2221, and the support plate 23 can be locked in the mounting part 2221 by means of a nut.

[0067] In this application, the height direction of the fastener 1 is the Z-axis direction, and the axial direction of the connecting rod 22 is also the Z-axis direction. Please refer to [reference needed] for details. Figures 2 to 4 .

[0068] The door panel mounting support mechanism of this application allows the adjusting member 21 to rotate axially relative to the fixed member 1 around the connecting rod 22, enabling the adjusting member 21 to be adjusted to different positions as needed, thereby improving the applicability of the door panel mounting support mechanism. Because the adjusting member 21 is rotatable, it can be hidden in its initial position when not in use; when in use, it can be rotated to the adjusted position, thus improving the ease of use of the door panel mounting support mechanism. The axial movement of the adjusting member 21 relative to the fixed member 1 along the connecting rod 22 allows the adjusting member 21 to drive the cabinet door panel for adjustment, facilitating cabinet door panel installation and fine-tuning, and improving work efficiency.

[0069] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, this application also provides a cold storage device, including a door 3, a cabinet (not shown), and a door panel mounting support mechanism as described above. The door 3 is connected to the cabinet, and the door panel mounting support mechanism is disposed on the door 3 or the cabinet. The door panel mounting support mechanism is used to install the cabinet door panel 4 onto the door 3. To make the cabinet door panel 4 more stable and safe to install, multiple door panel mounting support mechanisms are provided, and they are spaced apart at the bottom of the door 3 or the bottom of the cabinet.

[0070] Specifically, the fixing member 1 is fixed to the bottom of the door body 3 or the bottom of the cabinet body. The door panel mounting support mechanism includes a concealed state and an extended state. When installing the cabinet door panel 4, the door panel mounting support mechanism can be switched from the concealed state to the extended state, that is, by rotating the adjusting member 21. After the adjusting member 21 rotates relative to the fixing member 1, the adjusting member 21 protrudes out of the door body 3, and then the cabinet door panel 4 is placed on the adjusting member 21. Then, the adjusting member 21 is adjusted until the cabinet door panel 4 is installed on the door body 3. After the cabinet door panel 4 is installed, the adjusting member 21 is rotated again to conceal it under the door body 3 or the cabinet body.

[0071] The cold storage equipment in this application can be a refrigerator or freezer, etc.

[0072] This application's cold storage equipment, by incorporating a door panel mounting support mechanism, makes the installation of cabinet door panel 4 more convenient, improves work efficiency, and ensures operator safety. Furthermore, after use, the door panel mounting support mechanism can be concealed under the door body 3 or the cabinet body, maintaining the overall aesthetics of the cold storage equipment and thus enhancing its market competitiveness.
