Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a connection device and an embedded refrigeration device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in the embedded refrigeration equipment, the cabinet door 1' is equipped with a first sliding component 2', a second sliding component 3', and a hooking component 4'. When the cabinet door 1' is opened or closed, the upper sliding member on the second sliding component 3', which is connected to the hinge, moves relative to the slide rail under force. Under the traction of the steel wire rope, the lower sliding member moves in the opposite direction along the slide rail, thereby causing relative movement between the cabinet door and the cabinet door 1' to avoid the cabinet door from hitting the cabinet body. However, this structure is relatively complex, with many components, and the installation difficulty and cost are both high. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art.

[0004] Therefore, a first aspect of the present invention provides a connecting device.

[0005] A second aspect of the present invention also provides an embedded cooling device.

[0006] In view of this, a first aspect of the present invention provides a connecting device for an embedded refrigeration device, the embedded refrigeration device including a refrigeration unit and a cabinet, the refrigeration unit including a connected housing and a first door, the cabinet including a second door, the connecting device including: a sliding assembly, the second door and the first door being slidably connected along the width direction of the first door via the sliding assembly; a transmission assembly including a support member and a transmission member, the support member being disposed on the first door, the transmission member being sleeved on the support member, the transmission member including a first transmission segment and a second transmission segment connected to each other, the first transmission segment and the second transmission segment being located on opposite sides of the support member and being capable of moving in opposite directions relative to the support member in the width direction; a connecting rod, one end of the connecting rod being rotatably connected to the housing, the other end of the connecting rod being connected to the first transmission segment, and the second transmission segment being connected to the second door.

[0007] The present invention provides a connecting device for an embedded refrigeration device, which includes a refrigeration unit and a cabinet. The refrigeration unit has a housing and a first door, and the cabinet has a second door. The connecting device includes a sliding assembly, a transmission assembly, and a connecting rod. The second door is slidably connected to the first door via the sliding assembly. The transmission assembly includes a support member and a transmission component sleeved on the support member. The transmission component has a first transmission segment and a second transmission segment located on opposite sides of the support member. The first and second transmission segments are capable of moving in opposite directions relative to the support member in the width direction. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the housing, and the other end is connected to the first transmission segment. The second transmission segment is connected to the second door. When the first door is opened, the connecting rod rotates with the housing and pushes the first transmission segment to move, thereby driving the second transmission segment to move in the opposite direction. This allows the second door to slide relative to the first door through the second transmission segment, preventing interference between the second door and the cabinet or housing. The connecting device proposed in this application not only improves the smoothness of door opening and closing and reduces the risk of collision between the second door and the cabinet, but also simplifies the structure through mechanical linkage, reduces installation complexity, and enhances the overall stability of the equipment.

[0008] In some embodiments, the first transmission section and the second transmission section are optionally located on opposite sides of the support member along the height direction of the housing.

[0009] In this embodiment, the first transmission section and the second transmission section are located on opposite sides of the support member along the height direction of the box, which helps to reduce the overall size of the connecting device in the thickness direction of the door, making the structure flatter and more compact, and better adapting to the space constraints of embedded installation.

[0010] In some embodiments, the support member may optionally include: a bracket disposed on the first door body; at least one rotating member disposed on the bracket and capable of rotating relative to the bracket; and a transmission member sleeved on the rotating member and capable of driving the rotating member to rotate.

[0011] In this embodiment, the support includes a bracket and at least one rotating member. The bracket is fixed to the first door body to provide a stable support foundation. The at least one rotating member is disposed on the bracket and can rotate relative to the bracket. A transmission member is sleeved on the rotating member and can drive the rotating member to rotate together. When the first door body opens or closes, the linkage pushes the first transmission section of the transmission member. Through its sleeved relationship with the rotating member, the transmission member converts linear sliding or frictional force into rotational motion of the rotating member, thereby driving the second transmission section to move, and ultimately driving the second door body to slide. The embodiment proposed in this application transforms the sliding friction between the transmission member and the support member into rolling friction, reducing frictional resistance and wear during the movement of the transmission member, improving the smoothness and durability of the door body linkage process, while reducing operating noise and helping to extend the service life of the connecting device.

[0012] In some embodiments, the transmission element may optionally include a conveyor belt.

[0013] In this embodiment, the transmission component includes a conveyor belt, which is sleeved on the outside of the rotating component. A connecting rod is connected to the first transmission section, and a second door is connected to the second transmission section. That is, the connecting rod and the second door are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the conveyor belt. When the first door is opened, the connecting rod pulls the first connecting section of the conveyor belt, causing the conveyor belt to rotate relative to the rotating component. This causes the second connecting section of the conveyor belt to move in the opposite direction relative to the first connecting section, thereby driving the second door to slide along the width direction.

[0014] In some embodiments, the rotating component may optionally include a bushing and a threaded connection portion, the bushing being fitted onto the threaded connection portion and rotating relative to the threaded connection portion, the threaded connection portion passing through the bracket and connected to the first door body.

[0015] In this embodiment, the rotating component includes a bushing and a threaded connection. The threaded connection passes through the bracket and is connected to the first door body, so that the bracket is installed on the first door body. The bushing is sleeved on the outside of the threaded connection and is rotatably connected to the threaded connection, thereby enabling the conveyor belt to rotate through the bushing and reducing the friction force when the conveyor belt moves.

[0016] In some embodiments, the transmission element may optionally include a chain, and the rotating element may include a gear, which meshes with the chain for transmission.

[0017] In this embodiment, the transmission component includes a chain, and the rotating component includes a gear, which meshes with the chain. The gear is rotatably mounted on a bracket, and the chain is fitted onto and meshes with the gear. A connecting rod and a second door are located on opposite sides of the chain. When the first door opens or closes, the connecting rod pushes or pulls the first transmission segment of the chain. Through meshing with the gear teeth, the chain converts linear motion into rotational motion of the gear, which in turn drives the second door to slide along its width via the second transmission segment of the chain. Compared to friction transmission, this gear-chain meshing transmission method is less prone to slippage and can transmit larger loads.

[0018] In some embodiments, optionally, the number of rotating members is at least two, the at least two rotating members are spaced apart along the width direction, and the transmission member is sleeved on the outside of the two rotating members and in contact with the rotating members.

[0019] In this embodiment, at least two rotating members are spaced apart along the width direction, and the transmission member is sleeved on the outside of the at least two rotating members and in contact with the rotating members. This allows the transmission member to span multiple support points in the width direction, which helps to distribute the load, reduce the torque borne by a single rotating member, thereby reducing wear, and can more effectively maintain the tension of the transmission member, prevent slippage, and improve the smoothness and reliability of the door linkage process.

[0020] In some embodiments, the transmission element is optionally tensioned by at least two transmission elements.

[0021] In this embodiment, the transmission component is tensioned by at least two transmission components, which gives the transmission component good resistance to deformation. This reduces the left and right swing amplitude of the transmission component during the opening or closing of the first door, thus ensuring the stability of the movement.

[0022] In some embodiments, the sliding assembly may optionally include: a first sliding member connected to a first door body; a second sliding member connected to a second door body, wherein the first sliding member and the second sliding member are slidably connected to each other; wherein a second transmission segment is connected to the second sliding member.

[0023] In this embodiment, the sliding assembly includes a first sliding member and a second sliding member. The first door body is connected to the first sliding member, and the second door body is connected to the second sliding member. The first and second sliding members can slide relative to each other, thereby realizing relative sliding between the first and second door bodies. The second transmission section is connected to the second sliding member, allowing the second transmission section to drive the second door body to slide via the second sliding member, reducing the installation difficulty between the connecting device and the second door body.

[0024] In some embodiments, the connecting device may optionally further include: a first connector for connecting the other end of the connecting rod to the first transmission segment; and a second connector for connecting the second transmission segment and the second sliding member.

[0025] In this embodiment, the connecting device further includes a first connecting member and a second connecting member. The first connecting member fixes the other end of the connecting rod to the first transmission section, and the second connecting member fixes the second transmission section to the second sliding member, thereby improving the reliability of the component connection.

[0026] According to a second aspect of the invention, an embedded refrigeration device is also provided, comprising: a refrigeration device including a connected housing and a first door; a cabinet including a second door; and a connecting device as described in any of the first aspects, wherein the first door and the second door are slidably connected along the width direction of the second door via the connecting device.

[0027] The embedded cooling device provided in the second aspect of the present invention, having all the beneficial effects of the connecting device, includes the connecting device proposed in any of the above embodiments.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0040] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0041] The following reference Figures 1 to 5 The present invention describes a connection device and an embedded cooling device according to some embodiments thereof.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a connecting device 1 is provided for an embedded refrigeration device. The embedded refrigeration device includes a refrigeration unit and a cabinet. The refrigeration unit includes a connected housing 20 and a first door 22. The cabinet includes a second door 3. The connecting device 1 includes: a sliding assembly 10, through which the second door 3 and the first door 22 are slidably connected along the width direction of the first door 22; and a transmission assembly 12, including a support member 120 and a transmission member 126, wherein the support member 120 is disposed on the first door 22. A door body 22, a transmission component 126 sleeved on a support component 120, the transmission component 126 includes a first transmission section 1260 and a second transmission section 1262 connected to each other, the first transmission section 1260 and the second transmission section 1262 are located on opposite sides of the support component 120 and can move in opposite directions in the width direction relative to the support component 120; a connecting rod 14, one end of the connecting rod 14 is rotatably connected to the housing 20, the other end of the connecting rod 14 is connected to the first transmission section 1260, and the second transmission section 1262 is connected to the second door body 3.

[0043] The connecting device 1 provided by the present invention is used for an embedded refrigeration device, which includes a refrigeration unit and a cabinet. The refrigeration unit has a housing 20 and a first door 22, and the cabinet has a second door 3. The connecting device 1 includes a sliding assembly 10, a transmission assembly 12, and a connecting rod 14. The second door 3 is slidably connected to the first door 22 through the sliding assembly 10. The transmission assembly 12 includes a support member 120 and a transmission member 126 sleeved on the support member 120. The transmission member 126 has a first transmission segment 1260 and a second transmission segment 1262 located on opposite sides of the support member 120. The first transmission segment 1260 and the second transmission segment 1262 are capable of moving opposite each other in the width direction relative to the support member 120. In this device, one end of the connecting rod 14 is rotatably connected to the housing 20, and the other end of the connecting rod 14 is connected to the first transmission section 1260. The second transmission section 1262 is connected to the second door 3. When the first door 22 is opened, the connecting rod 14 rotates with the housing 20 and pushes the first transmission section 1260 to move, which in turn drives the second transmission section 1262 to move in the opposite direction. Thus, the second door 3 slides relative to the first door 22 through the second transmission section 1262, which can prevent the second door 3 from interfering with the cabinet or housing 20. The connecting device 1 proposed in this application not only improves the smoothness of door opening and closing and reduces the risk of collision between the second door 3 and the housing 20 or cabinet, but also simplifies the structure through mechanical linkage, reduces installation complexity, and enhances the overall stability of the equipment.

[0044] It is understandable that when the first door 22 is opened, one end of the connecting rod 14 rotates relative to the cabinet 20, causing the other end of the connecting rod 14 to drive the first transmission section 1260 to move away from the door side, which in turn causes the second transmission section 1262 to move closer to the door opening side, thereby driving the second door 3 to slide relative to the first door 22 towards the door opening side, thus avoiding interference between the second door 3 and the cabinet 20 or cabinet. It is also understandable that one end of the first door 22 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 20, and the other end of the first door 22 is the door opening side.

[0045] In some embodiments, optionally, the first transmission segment 1260 and the second transmission segment 1262 are located on opposite sides of the support member 120 along the height direction of the housing 20.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first transmission section 1260 and the second transmission section 1262 are disposed on opposite sides of the support member 120 along the height direction of the housing 20, which helps to reduce the overall size of the connecting device 1 in the thickness direction of the door body, making the structure flatter and more compact, and better adapting to the space constraints of embedded installation.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the support member 120 includes: a bracket 122 disposed on the first door body 22; at least one rotating member 124 disposed on the bracket 122 and capable of rotating relative to the bracket 122; and a transmission member 126 sleeved on the rotating member 124 and capable of driving the rotating member 124 to rotate.

[0048] In this embodiment, the support member 120 includes a bracket 122 and at least one rotating member 124. The bracket 122 is fixed to the first door body 22 to provide a stable support foundation. The at least one rotating member 124 is disposed on the bracket 122 and can rotate relative to the bracket 122. The transmission member 126 is sleeved on the rotating member 124 and can drive the rotating member 124 to rotate together. When the first door body 22 is opened or closed, the connecting rod 14 pushes the first transmission section 1260 of the transmission member 126. Through the sleeved relationship with the rotating member 124, the transmission member 126 converts linear sliding or frictional force into the rotational motion of the rotating member 124, thereby driving the second transmission section 1262 to move, and finally driving the second door body 3 to slide. The embodiment proposed in this application converts the sliding friction between the transmission member 126 and the support member 120 into rolling friction, reducing the frictional resistance and wear during the movement of the transmission member 126, improving the smoothness and durability of the door linkage process, and reducing operating noise, which helps to extend the service life of the connecting device 1.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission member 126 may optionally include a conveyor belt 1264.

[0050] In this embodiment, the transmission component 126 includes a conveyor belt 1264, which is sleeved on the outside of the rotating component 124. The connecting rod 14 is connected to the first transmission section 1260, and the second door 3 is connected to the second transmission section 1262. That is, the connecting rod 14 and the second door 3 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the conveyor belt 1264. When the first door 22 is opened, the connecting rod 14 pulls the first connecting section of the conveyor belt 1264, causing the conveyor belt 1264 to rotate relative to the rotating component 124. This causes the second connecting section of the conveyor belt 1264 to move in the opposite direction relative to the first connecting section, thereby driving the second door 3 to slide along the width direction.

[0051] Understandably, when the first door 22 is closed, the connecting rod 14 pushes the first connecting section of the conveyor belt 1264, causing the first connecting section to move toward the open side, thereby causing the second connecting section of the conveyor belt 1264 to move away from the door side, so as to drive the second door 3 to slide relative to the first door 22, so that the second door 3 returns to its original position, thus ensuring the integrity of the cabinet surface when the door is closed.

[0052] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the rotating member 124 includes a bushing 1240 and a threaded connection portion 1242. The bushing 1240 is sleeved on the threaded connection portion 1242 and rotates relative to the threaded connection portion 1242. The threaded connection portion 1242 passes through the bracket 122 and is connected to the first door body 22.

[0053] In this embodiment, the rotating component 124 includes a bushing 1240 and a threaded connection portion 1242. The threaded connection portion 1242 passes through the bracket 122 and is connected to the first door body 22, so that the bracket 122 is installed on the first door body 22. The bushing 1240 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded connection portion 1242 and is rotatably connected to the threaded connection portion 1242, thereby enabling the conveyor belt 1264 to rotate through the bushing 1240, reducing the friction force when the conveyor belt 1264 moves.

[0054] In some embodiments, the transmission member 126 may optionally include a chain, and the rotating member 124 may include a gear, which meshes with the chain for transmission.

[0055] In this embodiment, the transmission component 126 includes a chain, and the rotating component 124 includes a gear. The gear and the chain form a meshing transmission relationship. The gear is rotatably mounted on the bracket 122, and the chain is sleeved on and meshes with the gear. The connecting rod 14 and the second door 3 are located on opposite sides of the chain. When the first door 22 opens or closes, the connecting rod 14 pushes or pulls the first transmission segment 1260 of the chain. Through the meshing action with the gear teeth, the chain converts linear motion into rotational motion of the gear, which then drives the second door 3 to slide along its width via the second transmission segment 1262 of the chain. Compared to friction transmission, this gear-chain meshing transmission method is less prone to slippage and can transmit larger loads.

[0056] In some embodiments, optionally, the number of rotating members 124 is at least two, the at least two rotating members 124 are spaced apart along the width direction, and the transmission member 126 is sleeved on the outside of the two rotating members 124 and in contact with the rotating members 124.

[0057] In this embodiment, at least two rotating members 124 are spaced apart along the width direction, and a transmission member 126 is sleeved on the outside of the at least two rotating members 124 and in contact with the rotating members 124, so that the transmission member 126 spans multiple support points in the width direction, which helps to distribute the load, reduce the torque borne by a single rotating member 124, thereby reducing wear, and can more effectively maintain the tension of the transmission member 126, prevent slippage, and improve the smoothness and reliability of the door linkage process.

[0058] In some embodiments, the transmission element 126 may optionally be tensioned by at least two transmission elements 126.

[0059] In this embodiment, the transmission component 126 is tensioned by at least two transmission components 126, which gives the transmission component 126 good resistance to deformation. This reduces the left and right swing amplitude of the transmission component 12 during the opening or closing of the first door 22, thus ensuring the stability of the movement.

[0060] It is understood that the transmission member 126 is tensioned by at least two transmission members 126, including a first connecting section of the transmission member 126 being planar between the at least two transmission members 126, or the first connecting section of the transmission member 126 having a slight bend between the at least two transmission members 126.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the sliding assembly 10 includes: a first sliding member 102, which is connected to the first door body 22; a second sliding member 104, which is connected to the second door body 3, and the first sliding member 102 and the second sliding member 104 are slidably connected to each other; wherein, the second transmission section 1262 is connected to the second sliding member 104.

[0062] In this embodiment, the sliding assembly 10 includes a first sliding member 102 and a second sliding member 104. The first door body 22 is connected to the first sliding member 102, and the second door body 3 is connected to the second sliding member 104. The first sliding member 102 and the second sliding member 104 can slide relative to each other, thereby realizing relative sliding between the first door body 22 and the second door body 3. The second transmission section 1262 is connected to the second sliding member 104, allowing the second transmission section 1262 to drive the second door body 3 to slide via the second sliding member 104, reducing the installation difficulty between the connecting device 1 and the second door body 3.

[0063] Optionally, the first slider 102 and the second slider 104 are slide rails, or one of the first slider 102 and the second slider 104 is a slide groove and the other is a slider.

[0064] Optionally, a rolling element is provided between the first sliding member 102 and the second sliding member 104. The rolling element is rolled between the first sliding member 102 and the second sliding member 104 to reduce the friction between the first sliding member 102 and the second sliding member 104, thereby reducing the wear of the first sliding member 102 and the second sliding member 104.

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting device 1 may optionally include: a first connector 16 for connecting the other end of the connecting rod 14 to the first transmission segment 1260; and a second connector 18 for connecting the second transmission segment 1262 and the second sliding member 104.

[0066] In this embodiment, the connecting device 1 further includes a first connecting member 16 and a second connecting member 18. The first connecting member 16 fixes the other end of the connecting rod 14 to the first transmission section 1260, and the second connecting member 18 fixes the second transmission section 1262 to the second sliding member 104, thereby improving the reliability of the component connection.

[0067] Optionally, the first connector 16 and the second connector 18 may include threaded connectors or snap-fit ​​connectors.

[0068] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an embedded refrigeration device is also proposed, comprising: a refrigeration device including a housing 20 and a first door 22 connected to each other; a cabinet including a second door 3; and a connecting device 1 as described in any of the first aspects, wherein the first door 22 and the second door 3 are slidably connected along the width direction of the second door 3 by the connecting device 1.

[0069] The embedded cooling device provided by the present invention, because it includes the connection device 1 proposed in any of the above embodiments, has all the beneficial effects of the connection device 1.

[0070] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the connecting device 1 proposed in this application includes a sliding assembly 10, a first connecting member 16, a second connecting member 18, a transmission assembly 12, and a connecting rod 14. Optionally, the connecting device 1 is installed on the end cap of the first door body 22, and the connecting rod 14 is fixed to the first transmission section 1260 of the transmission assembly 12 via the first connecting member 16, and the second transmission section 1262 is fixed to the second sliding member 104 of the sliding assembly 10 via the second connecting member 18. During the opening of the first door body 22, the connecting rod 14 moves, driving the first sliding member 102 and the second sliding member 104 to move relative to each other through the transmission assembly 12, thereby realizing the relative movement of the first door body 22 and the second door body 3 in the width direction.

[0071] Optionally, the transmission assembly 12 proposed in this application includes a support member 120, a conveyor belt 1264, and a rotating shaft. The support member 120 can be a cover structure, the conveyor belt 1264 can be a belt, and the rotating shaft can be a bearing with screws. A taut belt has good resistance to deformation, reducing the lateral sway of the transmission assembly 12 and ensuring motion stability. The connecting rod 14 and the second sliding member 104 are fixedly connected via a belt, a first connecting member 16, and a second connecting member 18, allowing them to move relative to each other. The embodiment proposed in this application uses a belt drive structure instead of the original sliding structure, reducing the number of parts, simplifying the structure, and saving costs.

[0072] Alternatively, a gear and rack meshing structure can be used instead of a belt drive structure.
