[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

Terms of spatial relative positions may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation shown in the drawings.

[0029] For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

[0030] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] Furthermore, it should be understood that although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements or structures, these described objects should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish these described objects from each other. For example, a first adjustment surface may be referred to as a second adjustment surface, and similarly, a second adjustment surface may also be referred to as a first adjustment surface, which does not deviate from the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] The utility model provides a refrigeration device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a box body 10 and a leveling mechanism 20 arranged at the bottom of the box body 10, a first adjustment surface 101 is arranged at the bottom of the box body 10, and the first adjustment surface 101 extends obliquely along the front and rear direction of the box body 10, and the leveling mechanism 20 includes an adjusting screw 1 and an adjusting member 2; the adjusting screw 1 is arranged along the front and rear direction of the box body 10; the adjusting member 2 includes an adjusting body 21 connected to the adjusting screw 1, and the adjusting body 21 is provided with a second adjusting surface 211, and the extension direction of the second adjusting surface 211 is consistent with the extension direction of the first adjusting surface 101, and the first adjusting surface 101 and the second adjusting surface 211 are matched to enable the adjusting screw 1 to drive the adjusting member 2 to move forward and backward, and then the box body 10 is driven to move up and down through the cooperation of the first adjusting surface 101 and the second adjusting surface 211.

[0033] like Figure 1 , 3In the embodiment, a leveling mechanism 20 is respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the bottom of the box 10, wherein the adjusting member 2 is arranged at the rear position of the bottom of the box 10 to support the rear side of the box 10. When the height of the box 10 needs to be adjusted, the adjusting member 2 can be moved forward and backward by using the adjusting screw 1. Since the first adjusting surface 101 at the bottom of the box 10 and the second adjusting surface 211 of the adjusting member 2 are arranged to be inclined in the front-to-back direction of the box 10, the front-to-back movement of the adjusting member 2 is finally converted into the up-and-down movement of the box 10, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the box 10 by rotating the adjusting screw 1. Of course, the present invention does not limit the positional relationship between the adjusting member 2 and the bottom of the box 10.

[0034] Specifically, the adjusting member 2 also includes an adjusting column 22 rotatably connected to the adjusting body 21, the adjusting column 22 is connected to the adjusting screw 1, and the rotation axis of the adjusting column 22 is perpendicular to the length direction of the adjusting screw 1. The adjusting screw 1 drives the adjusting member 2 to move forward and backward, thereby enabling the rear side of the cabinet 10 to move up and down through the cooperation of the first adjusting surface 101 and the second adjusting surface 211. When the rear side of the cabinet 10 moves up and down, the refrigeration device will rotate with the front side of the bottom of the cabinet 10 as the axis, so that the first adjusting surface 101 at the bottom of the cabinet 10 will rotate, thereby driving the adjusting body 21 provided with the second adjusting surface 211 to rotate, and the adjusting member 2 is connected to the adjusting screw 1 through the adjusting column 22 rotatably connected to the adjusting body 21, so that the adjusting screw 1 can rotate and cooperate with the adjusting member 2 when the height of the rear side of the cabinet 10 is adjusted.

[0035] Furthermore, the adjustment column 22 is threadedly connected to the adjustment screw 1, and the leveling mechanism 20 also includes a limiter 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 10, the limiter 3 is rotationally connected to the adjustment screw 1 and limits the adjustment screw 1 from moving along the front-rear direction of the box body 10.

[0036] like Figure 3 In the embodiment, the stopper 3 is arranged at the front side of the bottom of the box body 10 to support the front side of the box body 10. Since the stopper 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 10 and limits the forward and backward movement of the adjusting screw 1, the rotation of the adjusting screw 1 can only be converted into the forward and backward movement of the adjusting member 2 threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 1, so that the rear side of the box body 10 moves up and down through the cooperation of the first adjusting surface 101 and the second adjusting surface 211.

[0037] When the rear side of the box body 10 moves up and down, since the limit member 3 is fixedly connected to the box body 10, and the adjusting screw 1 is connected to the limit member 3, the rotation of the box body 10 will also drive the adjusting screw 1 and the adjusting member 2 to rotate, thereby causing the adjusting screw 1 and the adjusting member 2 to rotate. During the rotation of the adjusting screw 1 and the adjusting member 2, the adjusting column 22 assists the relative rotation of the adjusting screw 1 and the adjusting member 2.

[0038] Furthermore, the refrigeration device also includes a guide plate 4 connected to the bottom of the box body 10 and arranged between the limit member 3 and the adjustment member 2. The guide plate 4 is provided with a limit hole 41. The shape of the limit hole 41 matches the cross-sectional shape of the adjustment screw 1. The adjustment screw 1 is arranged in the limit hole 41.

[0039] like Figure 4 In the figure, the guide piece 4 is in a "┐" shape, so that one end thereof is parallel to the bottom of the box body 10, and is used to connect with the bottom of the box body 10, such as being fixed by screws or welding to the box body 10; the other end is perpendicular to the length direction of the adjusting screw 1, and the limiting hole 41 is provided at one end of the guide piece 4 perpendicular to the length direction of the adjusting screw 1. Since the adjusting screw 1 is relatively long, the shape of the limiting hole 41 matches the cross-sectional shape of the adjusting screw 1, which can improve the straightness of the adjusting screw 1, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency, and can also play a certain fixing role on the adjusting screw 1.

[0040] Furthermore, the adjusting screw 1 is provided with a first limiting portion 11 and a second limiting portion 12, the first limiting portion 11 is arranged on the front side of the limiting member 3, and the second limiting portion 12 is arranged on the rear side of the limiting member 3, and in the front and rear direction of the box body 10, the distance between the first limiting portion 11 and the second limiting portion 12 = the length of the limiting member 3.

[0041] like Figure 4 In the embodiment, the stopper 3 is a hollow structure with an opening downward, and the opening downward is convenient for fixing to the box body 10 away from the opening side, such as being fixed to the box body 10 by screws, and the front and rear sides of the stopper 3 are provided with through holes for the adjustment screw 1 to pass through. The adjustment screw 1 cooperates with the stopper 3 through the first stopper 11 and the second stopper 12, so that the adjustment screw 1 can only rotate relative to the stopper 3, but cannot move forward and backward relative to the stopper 3.

[0042] Preferably, the first limiting portion 11 comprises an abutting piece 111 and an annular column 112 connected to each other, and the cross-sections of the outer circumference and the inner circumference of the annular column 112 are both polygonal. The abutting piece 111 is used to abut the front side of the limiting member 3. Figure 4 The cross-sections of the outer and inner circumferences of the middle annular column 112 are both regular hexagons, and can be rotated by twisting the adjusting screw 1 with a wrench, etc. Of course, the annular column 112 can also be in other shapes, and the cross-sections of the outer and inner circumferences can also be in different shapes, and the utility model is not limited thereto.

[0043] In some embodiments, the adjusting member 2 is further provided with a roller 23. Since the adjusting member 2 moves along the front-rear direction of the box body 10 under the adjustment of the adjusting screw 1, the roller 23 can reduce the friction between the adjusting member 2 and the ground and reduce the torsion force of rotating the adjusting screw 1.

[0044] Preferably, the roller 23 is disposed below the second adjustment surface 211. Since the second adjustment surface 211 extends obliquely along the front-rear direction of the box body 10, disposing the roller 23 at the second adjustment surface 211 can save the height space of the bottom surface of the box body 10 in the upper and lower space.

[0045] In some embodiments, the adjustment body 21 is a hollow structure, and a clearance hole 212 is provided on the side wall of the front side of the adjustment body 21 . The adjustment screw 1 passes through the clearance hole 212 , and the aperture of the clearance hole 212 is larger than the outer diameter of the adjustment screw 1 .

[0046] like Figure 3 In the embodiment, the first adjustment surface 101 is arranged on the press support plate of the box body 10, and the press support plate usually protrudes downward. To make room for the press support plate, the front and rear ends of the adjustment body 21 are high, and the middle is low. The low middle part is where the press support plate makes room. To reduce cost and quality, the adjustment body 21 is set as a hollow structure, and the adjustment column 22 is rotatably connected to the front end of the adjustment body 21. The side wall of the front end of the adjustment body 21 is provided with a make-way hole 212 for the rotation of the adjustment screw 1.

[0047] Furthermore, the adjusting body 21 is provided with an adjusting hole 213, which is in the shape of an elongated strip along the setting direction of the adjusting screw 1, and the adjusting member 2 is connected to the box body 10 through the adjusting hole 213. In order to prevent the adjusting member 2 from moving relative to the box body 10 and causing the first adjusting surface 101 and the second adjusting surface 211 to separate, the adjusting body 21 is provided with an adjusting hole 213, and since the adjusting member 2 needs to move forward and backward, the adjusting hole 213 is in the shape of an elongated strip along the forward and backward direction, and thus, the adjusting hole 213 can only limit the movement of the adjusting member 2 and the box body 10 in the left and right directions. As shown in the figure, the screw is used for limiting, and since the adjusting member 2 will rotate, the screw does not limit the movement in the height direction.

[0048] Preferably, in the direction from front to back of the box body 10, the first adjustment surface 101 and the second adjustment surface 211 extend obliquely upward. Of course, the first adjustment surface 101 and the second adjustment surface 211 may also extend obliquely downward, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0049] It should be understood that although this specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each implementation mode may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0050] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of the utility model. They are not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any equivalent implementation methods or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
