A first feature being “below”, “below” or “below” a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.
[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the specification of this application have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used in the specification of this application includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.
[0024] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2The present application provides an adjusting gasket 100, which is arranged between a hinge 200 and an installation position. The hinge 200 is connected to the installation position by screws. The adjusting gasket 100 includes a main body 10 and an extension part 20 connected to the edge of the main body 10. The main body 10 is provided with a plurality of avoidance holes 11, and the avoidance holes 11 are used for screws to pass through, or for positioning pins 230 on the hinge 200 to pass through. In this way, the extension part 20 is used for users to hold so that it is convenient for users to take the adjusting gasket 100, and by providing the avoidance holes 11, the avoidance holes 11 are positioned and matched with the screws or the positioning pins 230, so as to facilitate the installation of the adjusting gasket 100 to a suitable position. It should be noted that the installation position includes but is not limited to the refrigerator cabinet.
[0025] The material of the adjusting gasket 100 can be configured as PP (polypropylene), so that the adjusting gasket 100 has excellent plasticity and toughness, and also has excellent tensile strength and corrosion resistance. Specifically, the adjusting gasket 100 can be processed by punching and forming.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, at least one side of the avoidance hole 11 is provided with a notch 111, the notch 111 is connected to the edge of the main body 10, and the avoidance hole 11 can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the screw or the positioning pin 230 through the notch 111. Compared with setting the avoidance hole 11 as a round hole, by providing the notch 111, it is convenient to sleeve the avoidance hole 11 on the outer periphery of the screw or the positioning pin 230 through the notch 111, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the adjusting gasket 100.
[0027] Optionally, in one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the avoidance hole 11 is provided with notches 111 on three sides along its own circumference, so that the avoidance hole 11 is in a quarter circle shape. Alternatively, in one embodiment, the avoidance hole 11 is provided with a notch 111 on one side along its own circumference, so that the avoidance hole 11 is approximately in a half circle shape.
[0028] Along the length direction of the main body 10, a plurality of avoidance holes 11 are distributed at intervals. In addition, the center of gravity of the adjusting gasket 100 is arranged near the middle of the main body 10. By arranging the center of gravity of the adjusting gasket 100 near the middle of the main body 10, in the actual use of the adjusting gasket 100, especially when the adjusting gasket 100 is placed vertically and clamped between the hinge 200 and the installation position, it is possible to prevent the adjusting gasket 100 from deviating from the installation position under its own gravity due to the center of gravity being biased to the left or right along the length direction of the main body 10.
[0029] Optionally, in one embodiment, along the width direction of the main body 10, the extension portion 20 is connected to one side edge of the main body 10, and along the length direction of the main body 10, the extension portion 20 is disposed close to the middle of the main body 10. In this way, it is helpful to ensure that the center of gravity of the adjusting gasket 100 is disposed close to the middle of the main body 10.
[0030] In another embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the main body 10 includes a first section 12, a second section 13 and a third section 14 which are sequentially connected along the length direction thereof, and the widths of the first section 12 and the third section 14 are respectively smaller than the width of the second section 13. By setting the second section 13 located in the middle to be wider, it is helpful to ensure that the center of gravity of the adjusting gasket 100 is set close to the middle of the main body 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the second section 13 located in the middle can also be set to be thicker.
[0031] Further, the notches 111 of the plurality of avoidance holes 11 are all arranged toward the same side along the width direction of the main body 10. In this way, it is convenient to position and cooperate the adjusting washer 100 with the screw or the positioning pin 230 from one side of the notch 111.
[0032] Exemplarily, in one embodiment, the notches 111 of the plurality of avoidance holes 11 are all arranged away from the extension portion 20 along the width direction of the main body 10 .
[0033] In one embodiment, the avoidance hole 11 located at the edge of the main body 10 along the length direction of the main body 10 is configured as a quarter-circular hole. Since the edge of the main body 10 is easily folded along the length direction of the main body 10, by setting the avoidance hole 11 located at the edge of the main body 10 along the length direction of the main body 10 as a relatively small quarter-circular hole, it is helpful to avoid the edge of the avoidance hole 11 from breaking.
[0034] An adhesive layer is provided on at least one side of the main body 10 along the thickness direction of the adjusting gasket 100. The adhesive layer can be used to bond the hinge 200, or to bond the mounting position, or multiple adjusting gaskets 100 can be bonded together by the adhesive layer to form different thicknesses for use together. The thickness of a single adjusting gasket 100 is 1 mm.
[0035] The present application also provides a refrigerator, the refrigerator comprises a cabinet, a door, a hinge 200, a screw and an adjustment gasket 100 as described in any one of the above embodiments, a mounting position is respectively provided on the cabinet and the door, the hinge 200 comprises a hinged first arm 210 and a second arm 220; and each hinge 200 is correspondingly provided with two adjustment gaskets 100, wherein one adjustment gasket 100 is clamped between the first arm 210 and the mounting position on the cabinet along the height direction of the refrigerator, and the other adjustment gasket 100 is clamped between the second arm 220 and the mounting position on the door along the thickness direction of the refrigerator. In this way, by squeezing the two adjustment gaskets 100 respectively, the door body can simultaneously adjust the step difference in the up-down and front-back directions, so as to ensure the consistency of the height and flatness of the door body. It should be noted that the thickness direction of the refrigerator refers to the front-back direction of the refrigerator.
[0036] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In each adjusting gasket 100, four avoidance holes 11 are provided on the main body 10, and are respectively a first hole 112, a second hole 113, a third hole 114 and a fourth hole 115 distributed along the length direction of the main body 10. The first hole 112 is provided in the first section 12, the second hole 113 is provided at the junction of the first section 12 and the second section 13, the third hole 114 is provided in the second section 13, and the fourth hole 115 is provided at the junction of the third section 14 and the second section 13.
[0037] Among them, when the adjusting gasket 100 is installed on the first arm 210, the first hole 112 and the second hole 113 are used to penetrate the positioning pin 230 respectively, and the third hole 114 and the fourth hole 115 are used to penetrate the screws respectively. In actual use, it is only necessary to loosen the screws corresponding to the third hole 114 and the fourth hole 115, and then put the adjusting gasket 100 in, and then tighten the above screws to achieve the effect of adjusting the upper and lower positions of the door body. When the adjusting gasket 100 is installed on the second arm 220, the first hole 112 and the third hole 114 are used to penetrate the screws respectively. Similarly, in actual use, it is only necessary to loosen the screws corresponding to the first hole 112 and the third hole 114, and then put the adjusting gasket 100 in, and then tighten the above screws to achieve the effect of adjusting the front and rear positions of the door body.
[0038] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0039] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
