Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a grille component and refrigeration equipment. Background Art
[0002] At present, when placing a built-in refrigerator at home, the cabinet designs of each family are generally not uniform, and the shapes of the bottom skirtings are also different. Therefore, after the refrigerator is embedded in the cabinet, the difference in the bottom causes the refrigerator and the bottom of the cabinet to tilt, thereby reducing the overall integrity and affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technology.
[0004] In view of this, an embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention provides a grille assembly.
[0005] An embodiment of a second aspect of the utility model provides a refrigeration device.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, an embodiment of the utility model provides a grille assembly, which is used for refrigeration equipment. The grille assembly includes: a fixed grille member, including a first grille member and a second grille member arranged at intervals, the first grille member is used to connect to the refrigeration equipment; a movable grille member, arranged between the first grille member and the second grille member; an adjustment assembly, including: an elastic member, arranged between the movable grille member and the fixed grille member; an adjustment member, which is passed through the fixed grille member and the movable grille member, and the adjustment member is used to adjust the distance between the first grille member and the second grille member to adjust the inclination between the second grille member and the ground.
[0007] According to the grille assembly proposed by the utility model, by adjusting the height and inclination of the grille assembly, the uneven skirting caused by the left and right tilt of the refrigerator can be eliminated, so that the transition gap between the refrigerator and the cabinet is consistent, and the overall aesthetics is improved. Furthermore, it can ensure that the bottom of the built-in refrigerator and the skirting board of the cabinet can be perfectly connected, thereby achieving visual consistency and uniformity.
[0008] Specifically, the fixed grille member includes a first grille member and a second grille member, wherein the first grille member is directly connected to the refrigeration equipment and serves as a fixed reference point of the entire grille assembly. The second grille member is closer to the ground, and the height and position of the second grille member are controlled by an adjustment assembly to ensure that the gap between the second grille member and the ground is uniform. By arranging a movable grille member between the first grille member and the second grille member, it can play the role of intermediate adjustment and connection, and the height and inclination can be changed by the adjustment assembly, so that the entire grille assembly can be flexibly adjusted.
[0009] The adjustment component includes an elastic member and an adjustment member. The elastic member is arranged between the movable grille member and the fixed grille member. The elastic member provides a flexible adjustment mechanism. By using its own elastic characteristics, the change of the grille spacing is achieved through its own compression and extension, ensuring the stability and consistency during the adjustment process. The adjustment member is arranged between the fixed grille member and the movable grille member, and the local height and overall inclination can be adjusted by changing the distance between the first grille member and the second grille member.
[0010] Furthermore, the adjusting member may be a screw rod and a nut, and the distance between the first grille member and the second grille member may be adjusted by rotating the nut.
[0011] It should be emphasized that in this solution, the first grille and the second grille are fixed grilles, and the first grille is fixed on the refrigeration equipment, so its position does not move. The relative movement between the second grille and the first grille is achieved by the adjustment component, especially the movable grille located between the first grille and the second grille. Under the action of the adjustment component, the movable grille can move with the movement of the elastic member. It should be supplemented that the upper and lower ends of the movable grille, that is, the end connected to the first grille and the end connected to the second grille, are both provided with elastic members. On this basis, if there are multiple movable grilles, elastic members can be selectively provided between the movable grilles, or no elastic members can be provided. If no elastic members are provided, when the adjustment member adjusts the spacing, the relative position between the movable grilles does not change, and only the spacing between the first grille and the second grille in the fixed grille and the movable grille can be adjusted. However, the gap between the second grille at the bottom and the ground can still be adjusted.
[0012] In some technical solutions, optionally, the adjusting member includes: an adjusting rod, the outer surface of which is provided with a thread, the adjusting rod is passed through the fixed grille member and the movable grille member; an adjusting nut is provided on the adjusting rod, the adjusting nut is threadedly connected to the adjusting rod, and the adjusting nut is rotated to adjust the distance between the first grille member and the second grille member.
[0013] In this technical solution, the adjusting member includes an adjusting rod and an adjusting nut connected in a threaded manner. The adjusting rod is a rod with a thread, and the thread on its outer surface is designed to cooperate with the adjusting nut. The adjusting rod is arranged between the fixed grille member and the movable grille member to connect the two and allow the distance to be adjusted. The adjusting rod connects the fixed grille member and the movable grille member to ensure that the relative position between them is adjustable. The thread design allows the adjusting nut to rotate along the rod to achieve fine height adjustment.
[0014] The adjusting nut is an internally threaded nut that matches the external thread on the adjusting rod. The adjusting nut is located on the adjusting rod and realizes its up and down movement function through a threaded connection. Turning the adjusting nut can make it move up and down along the thread of the adjusting rod, thereby adjusting the position of the movable grille member.
[0015] Specifically, by rotating the adjustment nut, the distance between the first grille member and the second grille member can be precisely controlled to achieve fine adjustment of the height and inclination of the skirting board. The design of the adjustment nut allows the user to manually adjust without tools or use a simple wrench to complete the adjustment.
[0016] In some technical solutions, optionally, a stopper is provided at one end of the adjusting rod, one of the first grille member and the second grille member is provided with a stopper hole, and the other is provided with a stopper; wherein the stopper is located in the stopper hole, one end of the adjusting nut abuts against the stopper, and when the adjusting nut rotates, the stopper drives one of the first grille member and the second grille member to move toward or away from the other.
[0017] In this technical solution, a stopper is provided at one end of the adjusting rod. This part is designed into a specific shape (such as a hexagon or other non-circular shape) to prevent it from rotating during the adjustment process. The stopper is located in the stopper hole to prevent the adjusting rod from rotating when the nut rotates.
[0018] The adjusting rod connects the first grille member and the second grille member to provide a path for adjusting the height and the inclination. The anti-rotation part cooperates with the anti-rotation hole to prevent the adjusting rod from rotating when the adjusting nut rotates, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the adjustment process.
[0019] One end of the adjusting nut is designed to be a plane or have a specific shape so as to abut against the stop member. One end of the adjusting nut abuts against the stop member to form a fixed point.
[0020] By rotating the adjusting nut, it can be moved up and down along the thread of the adjusting rod, thereby adjusting the distance between the first grille member and the second grille member. The stop member provides a fixed point to ensure that the adjusting nut can effectively transmit force when rotating, so that the second grille member moves up and down relative to the first grille member.
[0021] The anti-rotation part matches with the anti-rotation hole. The anti-rotation part is a part with a specific shape (such as a hexagon) at one end of the adjustment rod. The anti-rotation hole is a hole on the first grid member, and its shape matches the anti-rotation part. The anti-rotation part is inserted into the anti-rotation hole to ensure that the adjustment rod is fixed and does not rotate, and prevents the adjustment rod from rotating when the adjustment nut rotates.
[0022] The stop member is fixed on the first grille member or the second grille member and contacts the stop end of the adjusting nut. When adjusting, first insert the stop portion of the adjusting rod into the stop hole of the first grille member to ensure that the adjusting rod is fixed and does not rotate. Put the adjusting nut on the adjusting rod and ensure that its stop end contacts the stop member. Use a wrench or manually rotate the adjusting nut. When the adjusting nut rotates, the adjusting rod will not rotate because the stop portion is fixed in the stop hole. The rotation of the adjusting nut will cause it to move up and down along the thread of the adjusting rod, thereby driving the movement of the second grille member relative to the first grille member. By adjusting the rotation direction of the nut, the distance between the grille members can be accurately controlled, and then the height and inclination can be adjusted.
[0023] In some technical solutions, optionally, the elastic member is a spring, the adjusting rod is passed through the spring, and two ends of the spring are respectively against the movable grille member and the fixed grille member.
[0024] In this technical solution, the elastic member is a spring, which has a certain elasticity, and its two ends can be bent or deformed, and the two ends of the spring are respectively against the movable grille member and the fixed grille member. The spring is located between the adjustment rod and the grille member, and plays a role of connection and buffering.
[0025] When the adjusting rod moves, the spring can absorb and buffer part of the force, reducing the impact and wear on the fixed grille and the movable grille. The elastic characteristics of the spring enable it to deform to a certain extent when subjected to external force, thereby adapting to slight unevenness of the ground.
[0026] The adjusting rod passes through the spring, and its two ends respectively abut against the movable grille member and the fixed grille member. The adjusting rod is located inside the spring, and under the action of the adjusting nut, the adjusting rod moves up and down, thereby driving the deformation of the spring.
[0027] The movement of the adjusting rod can change the length of the spring, thereby adjusting the distance between the movable grille member and the fixed grille member. The movable grille member and the fixed grille member are connected through the spring and the adjusting rod to form an adjustable system.
[0028] During installation, the two ends of the spring need to be installed on the movable grille and the fixed grille to ensure that the spring can work normally. The adjustment rod passes through the spring and makes its two ends contact with the movable grille and the fixed grille.
[0029] In some technical solutions, optionally, there are multiple movable grille members, and an elastic member is provided between any two adjacent movable grille members, or the relative positions between any two adjacent movable grille members are fixed.
[0030] In this technical solution, the movable grille is a movable part of the device, which is used to adjust the height and inclination. There are multiple movable grilles, which are distributed between the fixed grille and the ground. The movable grilles are connected by elastic members, or the relative positions of two adjacent movable grilles are fixed. The number and position of the movable grilles can provide multiple adjustment points, so that the entire device can be more flexible when adjusting. In addition, the setting of multiple movable grilles allows the entire device to move as a whole when adjusting, ensuring the consistency and stability of the adjustment.
[0031] The fixed grid member is located above the movable grid member, providing a fixed reference for the entire device. The fixed grid member and the movable grid member are connected through elastic members or fixed position relationships to form a whole, so that the entire device can move as a whole when adjusted.
[0032] In some technical solutions, optionally, the fixed grille member and the movable grille member extend along the first direction, the first grille member and the second grille member are spaced apart along the second direction, and the grille assembly further includes: a fixing hole, provided in the first grille member; wherein the connecting member passes through the fixing hole and is used to connect to the refrigeration equipment.
[0033] In this technical solution, by providing a fixing hole on the first grille member, it is easier to insert and fix the connecting member, and the connecting member not only needs to pass through the fixing hole, but also needs to be connected to the refrigeration device. The connecting member tightly connects the grille assembly to the refrigeration device, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire system.
[0034] Among them, the two grille members are arranged along the second direction, and the two grille members extend along the first direction, ensuring that all grille members extend in the same direction to maintain visual consistency, while providing adjustment space, allowing the distance between the grille members to be changed, allowing adjustment at different heights and inclinations, in addition, the interval setting can ensure sufficient ventilation space, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the refrigerator.
[0035] The fixing hole is arranged on the first grille member and is used for installing the connecting member, providing a mounting point for the connecting member, so as to facilitate fixing the grille assembly to the refrigeration equipment.
[0036] It can be understood that the spacing between the first grille member and the second grille member along the second direction provides space for precise adjustment of height and inclination. The fixed grille member and the movable grille member extend in the same direction, and the fixing effect of the connecting member improves the stability of the entire structure.
[0037] In some technical solutions, optionally, the fixing hole is a waist-shaped hole, the fixing hole extends along the second direction, there are multiple fixing holes, and the multiple fixing holes are arranged on the first grille member at intervals along the first direction.
[0038] In this technical solution, the fixing hole is designed as a waist-shaped hole, thereby allowing the connecting part to move within a certain range and providing a larger adjustment space. Since the waist-shaped hole extends along the second direction, it allows adjustment in the vertical second direction, which helps to adjust the height and inclination. On the one hand, it can adapt to the installation hole positions of different refrigeration equipment and increase compatibility. On the other hand, it can also be flexibly adjusted to the height of the skirting of different cabinets, so that it can be aligned with the skirting of the cabinet by moving up and down.
[0039] Multiple fixing points can increase the applicability of the product and can be adjusted for cabinets of different heights. In addition, the use of multiple fixing points also ensures a more stable connection between the grille assembly and the refrigeration equipment. Multiple fixing points can better disperse the pressure and improve the stability of the overall structure.
[0040] In some technical solutions, optionally, the number of the adjusting members is at least two, at least one adjusting member is disposed at one end of the fixed grille member in the first direction, and at least one adjusting member is disposed at the other end of the fixed grille member in the first direction.
[0041] In this technical solution, by providing adjustment members at both ends of the fixed grille member, a more precise and balanced adjustment capability is provided. With adjustment members at both ends, a more balanced adjustment can be achieved, avoiding the tilt or imbalance that may be caused by unilateral adjustment. In addition, the height of both ends can be adjusted independently, achieving more precise height and tilt control, so as to better adapt to the unevenness of the ground or the slight tilt when the refrigeration equipment is installed.
[0042] Of course, adjusting at both ends provides more stable support and reduces possible sinking or deformation in the middle.
[0043] In some technical solutions, optionally, it also includes: a decorative plate, which is arranged corresponding to the adjustment component, and the decorative plate is detachably connected to the fixed grille member.
[0044] In this technical solution, the decorative plate is arranged corresponding to the adjustment component, and the decorative plate can protect the internal adjustment component and prevent the intrusion of external factors such as dust and moisture. The decorative plate is detachably connected to the fixed grille member, and the appearance and material of the decorative plate can be flexibly selected, and different materials (such as stainless steel, plastic, wood grain, etc.) can be used to meet different usage requirements.
[0045] In addition, since the decorative panel is detachably connected to the fixed grille member, if the decorative panel is damaged, it can be replaced separately without replacing the entire system. The detachable design allows adjustments to be made without affecting the appearance. When adjustments are required, the decorative panel can be easily removed and then installed again after the adjustments are completed.
[0046] The second aspect of the present application provides a refrigeration device, comprising: a box; any of the above-mentioned grille components, wherein the first grille member of the grille component is connected to the bottom of the box;
[0047] The refrigeration device provided in the present application includes a box body and a grille assembly, wherein the box body, as the main part of the refrigeration device, contains a refrigeration system and a storage space. The bottom is restricted by connecting the first grille member of the grille assembly to the bottom of the box body. Under the action of the grille assembly, while ensuring ventilation, the device can be unified with other skirting parts to improve the user experience.
[0048] Since the refrigeration device includes any of the above-mentioned grille assemblies, it has the beneficial effects of any of the above-mentioned grille assemblies, which will not be described in detail here.
[0049] Among them, refrigeration equipment includes but is not limited to refrigerators, freezers, fresh-keeping cabinets and other equipment.
[0050] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following description or will be understood through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0062] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0063] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the embodiments of the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0064] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 8 Some embodiments according to the present invention are described.
[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, a grille assembly 100 proposed in this embodiment can eliminate the uneven skirting problem caused by the left and right tilt of the refrigerator by adjusting the height and inclination of the grille assembly 100, so that the gap between the refrigerator and the cabinet remains consistent, thereby improving the overall aesthetics.
[0066] Specifically, the fixed grille member 102 includes a first grille member 1022 and a second grille member 1024, wherein the first grille member 1022 is directly connected to the refrigeration device 200 (e.g., a refrigerator) and serves as a fixed reference point for the entire grille assembly 100. The second grille member 1024 is closer to the ground, and the height and position of the second grille member 1024 are controlled by the adjustment assembly 106 to ensure that the gap between the grille member 1024 and the ground is uniform. By arranging the movable grille member 104 between the first grille member 1022 and the second grille member 1024, it can play the role of intermediate adjustment and connection, and the height and inclination can be changed by the adjustment assembly 106, so that the entire grille assembly 100 can be flexibly adjusted.
[0067] like Figure 2As shown, the adjustment component 106 includes an elastic member 1062 and an adjustment member 1064. The elastic member 1062 is arranged between the movable grille member 104 and the fixed grille member 102. The elastic member 1062 provides a flexible adjustment mechanism, which uses its own elastic characteristics to achieve the change of the grille spacing through its own compression and extension, ensuring the stability and consistency during the adjustment process. The adjustment member 1064 is arranged between the fixed grille member 102 and the movable grille member 104, and can achieve the adjustment of the local height and the overall inclination by changing the distance between the first grille member 1022 and the second grille member 1024.
[0068] Furthermore, the adjusting member 1064 may be a screw and a nut, and the distance between the first grid member 1022 and the second grid member 1024 may be adjusted by rotating the nut.
[0069] It should be emphasized that in the present solution, the first grille member 1022 and the second grille member 1024 serving as the fixed grille member 102, the first grille member 1022 is fixed on the refrigeration equipment 200, and its position does not move. The relative movement between the second grille member 1024 and the first grille member 1022 is achieved through the adjustment component 106, in particular, the movable grille member 104 located between the first grille member 1022 and the second grille member 1024. Under the action of the adjustment member 1064, the movable grille member 104 can move with the movement of the elastic member 1062. It should be added that the upper and lower ends of the movable grille member 104, namely, the end connected to the first grille member 1022 and the end connected to the second grille member 1024, are both provided with elastic members 1062. On this basis, if there are multiple movable grille members 104, elastic members 1062 can be selectively provided between the movable grille members 104, or elastic members 1062 can be not provided. If elastic members 1062 are not provided, when the adjustment member 1064 adjusts the spacing, the relative positions of the movable grille members 104 do not change. Only the spacing between the first grille member 1022 and the second grille member 1024 in the fixed grille member 102 and the movable grille member 104 can be adjusted. However, it can still play an adjustment role for the gap between the second grille member 1024 at the bottom and the ground.
[0070] In a specific embodiment, first, the first grille member 1022 is fixed to the bottom of the refrigerator, and its stability is ensured by screws or other fixings. Then, the movable grille member 104 and the second grille member 1024 are installed on the first grille member 1022 in sequence, and the elastic member 1062 (spring) and the adjusting member 1064 (screw) are inserted. The adjusting nut 1074 is rotated with a wrench. Since the first grille member 1022 is fixed, the rotation of the adjusting nut 1074 will cause the screw to move relative to the first grille member 1022, thereby pushing the second grille member 1024 to move up and down. When the nut is rotated to the right, the screw moves up, driving the second grille member 1024 to move up, and at the same time compressing the spring to reduce the overall height. When the nut is rotated to the left, the screw moves down, the spring stretches, and pushes the second grille member 1024 to move down, so that the overall height increases. The nuts on the left and right sides are adjusted independently, and the height and inclination of the two sides can be controlled respectively, ensuring the parallelism and height consistency of the skirting with the ground.
[0071] After the adjustment is completed, install the decorative covers on the left and right sides to cover the internal spring and screw structure, making the entire skirting system look more beautiful and unified. The transition design between the decorative cover and the room skirting ensures a seamless visual connection.
[0072] By adjusting the nut 1074, the height and inclination of the skirting board can be adjusted to ensure perfect connection with the ground. Under the action of the elastic member 1062, the gap between the grilles can be made uniform during adjustment to ensure the consistency and aesthetics of the overall appearance.
[0073] In some embodiments, optionally, the adjustment member 1064 includes a threaded adjustment rod 1072 and an adjustment nut 1074, wherein the adjustment rod 1072 is a threaded rod, and the threaded design on the outer surface of the adjustment rod 1072 is used in conjunction with the adjustment nut 1074. The adjustment rod 1072 is inserted between the fixed grille member 102 and the movable grille member 104 to connect the two and allow the distance to be adjusted. The adjustment rod 1072 connects the fixed grille member 102 and the movable grille member 104 to ensure that the relative position between them is adjustable, and the threaded design allows the adjustment nut 1074 to rotate along the rod to achieve fine height adjustment.
[0074] The adjusting nut 1074 is a nut with an internal thread, which matches the external thread on the adjusting rod 1072. The adjusting nut 1074 is located on the adjusting rod 1072 and realizes its up and down movement function through a threaded connection. Rotating the adjusting nut 1074 can make it move up and down along the thread of the adjusting rod 1072, thereby adjusting the position of the movable grille member 104.
[0075] Specifically, by rotating the adjustment nut 1074, the distance between the first grille member 1022 and the second grille member 1024 can be precisely controlled to achieve fine adjustment of the height and inclination of the skirting board. The design of the adjustment nut 1074 allows the user to manually adjust without tools, or to complete the adjustment using a simple wrench.
[0076] The specific adjustment process is as follows:
[0077] The user first determines the desired slope and height of the skirting board from the ground.
[0078] The user then turns the adjustment nut 1074 to raise or lower the skirting board as desired.
[0079] If the skirting board needs to be raised, the user rotates the adjustment nut 1074 downward, ie, the adjustment rod 1072 lifts the movable grille member 104 and compresses the elastic member 1062 (eg, a spring), thereby increasing the height of the skirting board.
[0080] If the skirting board needs to be lowered, the user rotates the adjusting nut 1074 upward, so that the adjusting rod 1072 releases the pressure on the movable grille member 104, and the elastic member 1062 is expanded, thereby reducing the height of the skirting board.
[0081] In this way, the user can fine-tune each side of the skirting board provided with the adjustment assembly 106 to ensure that the skirting board remains parallel to the ground across the entire width, thereby resolving the visual inconsistency problem caused by an uneven ground or uneven installation of the refrigerator.
[0082] It can be understood that the design of the adjustment member 1064 makes the adjustment of the entire device flexible and easy. The user can quickly adjust the height and inclination of the skirting board according to the specific situation and personal preference to ensure seamless connection with the cabinet. This not only improves the installation quality of the refrigerator, but also improves the overall aesthetics of the kitchen.
[0083] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 3 As shown, a stop portion 1082 is provided at one end of the adjustment rod 1072. This portion is designed into a specific shape (such as a hexagon or other non-circular shape) to prevent it from rotating during the adjustment process. The stop portion 1082 is located in the stop hole 1084 to prevent the adjustment rod 1072 from rotating when the nut rotates.
[0084] The adjusting rod 1072 connects the first grille member 1022 and the second grille member 1024 to provide a path for adjusting the height and the inclination. The anti-rotation portion 1082 cooperates with the anti-rotation hole 1084 to prevent the adjusting rod 1072 from rotating when the adjusting nut 1074 rotates, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the adjustment process.
[0085] One end of the adjusting nut 1074 is designed to be flat or have a specific shape, such as Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 , one end of the adjustment nut 1074 abuts against the stop member 1086 to form a fixed point.
[0086] By rotating the adjusting nut 1074, it can be moved up and down along the thread of the adjusting rod 1072, so as to adjust the distance between the first grille member 1022 and the second grille member 1024. The stop member 1086 provides a fixed point to ensure that the adjusting nut 1074 can effectively transmit force when rotating, so that the second grille member 1024 moves up and down relative to the first grille member 1022.
[0087] The anti-rotation part 1082 matches with the anti-rotation hole 1084. The anti-rotation part 1082 is a part with a specific shape (such as a hexagon) at one end of the adjustment rod 1072. The anti-rotation hole 1084 is a hole on the first grid member 1022, and its shape matches the anti-rotation part 1082. The anti-rotation part 1082 is inserted into the anti-rotation hole 1084 to ensure that the adjustment rod 1072 is fixed and does not rotate, thereby preventing the adjustment rod 1072 from rotating when the adjustment nut 1074 rotates.
[0088] The stop member 1086 can be a protrusion or a plane fixed on the grille member, used to abut against the adjusting nut 1074.
[0089] The stop member 1086 is fixed on the first grille member 1022 or the second grille member 1024 and contacts the stop end of the adjustment nut 1074. When adjusting, first insert the stop portion 1082 of the adjustment rod 1072 into the stop hole 1084 of the first grille member 1022 to ensure that the adjustment rod 1072 is fixed and does not rotate. The adjustment nut 1074 is mounted on the adjustment rod 1072 and ensure that its stop end contacts the stop member 1086. Use a wrench or manually rotate the adjustment nut 1074. When the adjustment nut 1074 rotates, the adjustment rod 1072 will not rotate because the stop portion 1082 is fixed in the stop hole 1084. The rotation of the adjustment nut 1074 causes it to move up and down along the thread of the adjustment rod 1072, thereby driving the second grille member 1024 to move relative to the first grille member 1022. By adjusting the rotation direction of the nut 1074, the distance between the grille members can be accurately controlled, thereby adjusting the height and inclination of the skirting board.
[0090] Furthermore, the anti-rotation hole 1084 is a countersunk hole.
[0091] In a specific embodiment, the elastic member 1062 is a spring with a certain elasticity, and its two ends can be bent or deformed, and the two ends of the spring are respectively against the movable grille member 104 and the fixed grille member 102. The spring is located between the adjustment rod 1072 and the grille member, and plays a role of connection and buffering.
[0092] The elastic member 1062 may also be a spring sheet.
[0093] When the adjustment rod 1072 moves, the spring can absorb and buffer part of the force, reducing the impact and wear on the fixed grille member 102 and the movable grille member 104. The elastic characteristics of the spring enable the skirting board to have a certain deformation when subjected to external force, thereby adapting to the slight unevenness of the ground.
[0094] The adjusting rod 1072 passes through the spring, and its two ends respectively abut against the movable grille member 104 and the fixed grille member 102. The adjusting rod 1072 is located inside the spring. Under the action of the adjusting nut 1074, the adjusting rod 1072 moves up and down, thereby driving the deformation of the spring.
[0095] The movement of the adjusting rod 1072 can change the length of the spring, thereby adjusting the distance between the movable grille member 104 and the fixed grille member 102. The movable grille member 104 and the fixed grille member 102 are connected via the spring and the adjusting rod 1072 to form an adjustable system.
[0096] During installation, the two ends of the spring need to be respectively installed on the movable grille member 104 and the fixed grille member 102 to ensure that the spring can work normally. The adjusting rod 1072 passes through the spring and its two ends are respectively against the movable grille member 104 and the fixed grille member 102.
[0097] In a specific embodiment, the movable grille member 104 is optionally a movable part of the device for adjusting the height and the inclination. There are multiple movable grille members 104, which are distributed between the fixed grille member 102 and the ground. The movable grille members 104 are connected by elastic members 1062, or the relative positions of two adjacent movable grille members 104 are fixed. The number and position of the movable grille members 104 can provide multiple adjustment points, so that the entire device can be more flexible when adjusting. In addition, the provision of multiple movable grille members 104 enables the entire device to move as a whole when adjusting, ensuring the consistency and stability of the adjustment.
[0098] The fixed grille member 102 is located above the movable grille member 104, providing a fixed reference for the entire device. The fixed grille member 102 and the movable grille member 104 are connected via the elastic member 1062 or a fixed position relationship to form a whole, so that the entire device can move as a whole when adjusted.
[0099] In a specific embodiment, optionally, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, by providing a fixing hole 110 on the first grille member 1022, it is easier to insert and fix the connecting member 114. The connecting member 114 not only needs to pass through the fixing hole 110, but also needs to be connected to the refrigeration device 200. The connecting member 114 tightly connects the grille assembly 100 and the refrigeration device 200, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire system.
[0100] Furthermore, the connecting member 114 may be in various forms, such as rivet nuts, screws, etc.
[0101] Among them, Figure 2 As shown, the two grille members are arranged along the second direction, and the two grille members extend along the first direction, ensuring that all grille members extend in the same direction to maintain visual consistency, while providing adjustment space, allowing the distance between the grille members to be changed, allowing adjustment at different heights and inclinations, and in addition, the spacing setting can ensure sufficient ventilation space, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the refrigerator.
[0102] The fixing hole 110 is provided on the first grille member 1022 for installing the connecting member 114 , and provides a mounting point for the connecting member 114 , so as to facilitate fixing the grille assembly 100 to the refrigeration device 200 .
[0103] It can be understood that the first grille member 1022 and the second grille member 1024 are spaced apart along the second direction, which provides space for precise adjustment of height and inclination. The fixed grille member 102 and the movable grille member 104 extend in the same direction, and the fixing effect of the connecting member 114 improves the stability of the entire structure.
[0104] In a specific embodiment, optionally, the fixing hole 110 is designed as a waist-shaped hole, thereby allowing the connecting piece 114 to move within a certain range, providing a larger adjustment space. Since the waist-shaped hole extends along the second direction, it allows adjustment in the vertical second direction, which helps to adjust the height and inclination of the skirting board. On the one hand, it can adapt to the installation hole positions of different refrigeration equipment 200, increasing compatibility. On the other hand, it can also be flexibly adjusted to the height of the skirting line of different cabinets, so that it can be aligned with the skirting line of the cabinet by moving up and down.
[0105] Multiple fixing points can increase the applicability of the product and can be adjusted for cabinets of different heights. In addition, the use of multiple fixing points also ensures that the connection between the grille assembly 100 and the refrigeration equipment 200 is more stable. Multiple fixing points can better disperse the pressure and improve the stability of the overall structure.
[0106] In general, this design not only improves the installation and adjustment flexibility of the grille assembly 100, but also enhances the stability and adaptability of the overall structure. It provides users with a practical and easy-to-adjust skirting board solution that can be well adapted to various installation environments and user needs. At the same time, this design also provides manufacturers with greater design space to develop products with a wider range of applications.
[0107] In a specific embodiment, optionally, adjusting members 1064 are provided at both ends of the fixed grille member 102, providing a more precise and balanced adjustment capability. The adjusting members 1064 at both ends can achieve a more balanced adjustment, avoiding the tilt or imbalance that may be caused by unilateral adjustment. In addition, the height of both ends can be adjusted independently, achieving more precise height and tilt control, so as to better adapt to the unevenness of the ground or the slight tilt when the refrigeration device 200 is installed.
[0108] Of course, adjusting at both ends provides more stable support and reduces possible sinking or deformation in the middle.
[0109] In some embodiments, the decorative plate 112 is optionally provided corresponding to the adjustment component 106, and the decorative plate 112 can protect the internal adjustment component 106 from the intrusion of external factors such as dust and moisture. The decorative plate 112 is detachably connected to the fixed grille member, and the appearance and material of the decorative plate 112 can be flexibly selected, and different materials (such as stainless steel, plastic, wood grain, etc.) can be used to meet different usage requirements.
[0110] It should be emphasized that the decorative panel 112 can be divided into two parts according to the position, namely, a nested top panel and side panels, the side panels are connected to the second grille member, and the top panel is connected to the first grille member. When the position between the first grille member and the second grille member is adjusted under the action of the adjusting member, it can be ensured that both the top panel and the side panels completely cover the top panel, and the side panels can slide relative to the top panel. Furthermore, a slide rail can be set on the top panel or the side panel to achieve sliding.
[0111] In addition, since the decorative panel 112 is detachably connected to the fixed grille member, if the decorative panel 112 is damaged, it can be replaced alone without replacing the entire system. The detachable design allows adjustment without affecting the appearance. When adjustment is required, the decorative panel 112 can be easily removed and then installed again after adjustment is completed.
[0112] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, another embodiment of the present application provides a refrigeration device 200, including a box body 202 and a grille assembly 100, wherein the box body 202 serves as the main part of the refrigeration device 200, including a refrigeration system and a storage space, and the bottom is restricted by connecting the first grille member 1022 of the grille assembly 100 to the bottom of the box body 202. Under the action of the grille assembly 100, while ensuring ventilation, the device can be unified with other skirting parts to improve the user experience.
[0113] Since the refrigeration device 200 includes any of the above-mentioned grille assemblies 100 , it has the beneficial effects of any of the above-mentioned grille assemblies 100 , which will not be described in detail herein.
[0114] The refrigeration equipment 200 includes but is not limited to refrigerators, freezers, fresh-keeping cabinets and other equipment.
[0115] In a specific embodiment, a spliced adjustable refrigerator skirting is proposed, which mainly includes movable ventilation grilles (i.e. fixed grille parts and movable grille parts), screw guide posts (i.e. adjustment rods), adjustment nuts, pressure springs (i.e. elastic parts), decorative covers (i.e. decorative panels) and other components. There are two screw guide posts on the left and right sides of the skirting, and the bottom of the guide posts has flange edges (i.e. anti-rotation parts). When installing the bottom grille, it can be inserted into its sinking platform (i.e. anti-rotation hole). Then a pressure spring is installed between the two grilles and inserted into the guide posts. The spring can support the grille and make the distance between the two grilles flexible. Then the grille and spring are inserted into the guide posts in turn. Finally, on the top grille, the adjustment nut is screwed on through the thread on the top of the guide post to combine all the grilles and springs into a whole. Then the decorative covers on the left and right sides can be installed to cover the springs and make a transition with the room skirting. Then the skirting can be fixed to the refrigerator as a whole through the three sink holes (i.e. fixing holes) on the left, middle and right of the top grille by screws.
[0116] Specifically, the adjustment process is as follows: first, after the refrigerator is adjusted and fixed, install the skirting line, align the upper surface of the skirting line and the cabinet skirting line through the waist-shaped hole of the skirting line, and then tighten the screws to fix the skirting line on the refrigerator; use a wrench to turn the adjustment nut to the right, the top grille is fixed and does not move, because the screw and the bottom grille have a mutual positioning stop, so the nut and the screw will rotate relative to each other, so that the screw moves upward, and the flange surface at the bottom of the screw pulls the bottom grille to move upward. The springs between the grilles transmit pressure, so that all grilles move upward, and the ventilation grille is pressed to compress the middle spring, so that the height of the entire skirting line becomes smaller. And because the force on the spring is the same, each grille moves the same distance, keeping the distance between them unchanged.
[0117] When the wrench turns the adjusting nut to the left, the screw moves downward, and the movable height of the grille becomes higher. Since the springs between the grilles are compressed, when the bottom screw flange moves downward, all the grilles are pushed open by the springs, making the distance between them larger, thereby increasing the height of the entire skirting board.
[0118] By adjusting the rotation direction of the two nuts on the left and right sides, the left and right sides of the skirting grille can be moved independently, and the inclination between the skirting and the ground can be adjusted to adjust the ground clearance. After the adjustment is completed, buckle the decorative cover to hide the internal structure.
[0119] Through the above solution, the ground clearance and uniformity of the skirting can be adjusted without affecting the gap between the skirting and the refrigerator itself, thus improving the aesthetics. In addition, the compatibility of the overall embedding of the refrigerator can be improved, and a higher error value can be set for the cabinet size error to avoid the cabinet being unable to fit into the refrigerator or the skirting being too far from the bottom.
[0120] In this solution, the clearance between the skirting board and the ground is adjusted without affecting the clearance between the skirting board and the refrigerator.
[0121] Among them, the spring can be eliminated, and a nut structure can be designed on the ventilation grille to directly drive the grille to move through the screw-nut structure; of course, other metal shrapnel can also be used to replace the spring structure.
[0122] According to the grille assembly and refrigeration equipment provided by the utility model, by adjusting the height and inclination of the grille assembly, the problem of uneven skirting caused by the left and right tilt of the refrigerator can be eliminated, so that the gap between the refrigerator and the cabinet is kept consistent, thereby improving the overall aesthetics.
