[0002] With the continuous progress of society and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, refrigerators, as a commonly used refrigeration appliance, are increasingly used by people. The existing refrigerator door bodies generally use multiple bottle frames to divide the door body space into multiple independent spaces, thereby improving the utilization rate of the refrigerator space. The bottle frame is generally clamped on the protrusions pre-designed on the door liner through left and right buckles. This installation method is greatly affected by the foaming of the door body. For example, if the door body foams and bulges, it will cause difficulties or tightness in the installation of the bottle frame. At the same time, the up and down positions of the bottle frame cannot be freely adjusted, and when storing items with mismatched heights, it is easy to cause waste of the bottle frame space.

Bottle frame support height adjustment holes are evenly distributed along the height direction on both sides of the refrigerator door body, and the bottle frame support is connected through L-shaped hangers on both sides. Although this patent can realize the function of adjusting the up and down positions of the bottle frame, it is still affected by the foaming of the door body. For example, if the size deviation of the door body adjustment hole is large, the bottle frame support cannot be inserted into it. In addition, the setting positions of the adjustment holes are fixed, which limits the freedom of adjusting the up and down positions of the bottle frame. Summary of the Utility Model

[0030] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] In this text, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "top", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 10 shown, an adjustable bottle frame assembly includes a bottle frame body 1. The bottle frame body 1 is installed on a support mechanism, and the support mechanism is fixedly connected to a door body 2. The support mechanism includes a limiting portion. An adjusting mechanism is provided on the bottle frame body 1. The adjusting mechanism includes a clamping portion that matches the limiting portion, and the clamping portion is clamped with the limiting portions at different positions to adjust the position of the bottle frame body 1 on the door body 2.

[0033] It is independently installed on the refrigerator door body 2 through the support mechanism, and the bottle frame body 1 is supported by the support mechanism, avoiding the influence of the foaming and bulging of the door body 2 on the installation of the bottle frame body 1. At the same time, the adjusting mechanism is provided on the bottle frame body 1 and is integrated with the bottle frame body 1, facilitating the adjustment of the cooperation between the clamping portion and the position limiting portion of the body, and then adjusting the height of the bottle frame body 1 on the door body 2. The height of the bottle frame assembly can be freely adjusted according to storage requirements, making rational use of space, and solving the drawback that the traditional refrigerator bottle frame assembly cannot be freely adjusted up and down. At the same time, the device is simple to operate and highly flexible, thus improving the user's satisfaction.

[0034] In the adjustable bottle frame assembly of this embodiment, the support mechanism includes two guide rods 3 arranged at intervals. Uniformly distributed protrusions 4 are arranged on the opposite sides of the two guide rods 3, and the limiting portions are formed between adjacent two protrusions 4.

[0035] Specifically, by setting two juxtaposed guide rods 3, the bottle frame assembly is used in cooperation with the two guide rods 3 to fix or adjust the position of the bottle frame body 1. The two guide rods 3 are fixed on the door foam using screws. With the above structure, there are no traditional ribs for installing the bottle frame on the inner lining of the door body 2. When installing the guide rods 3, the surface of the door foam is a plane without protruding ribs, and four screw holes are reserved. The two guide rods 3 are fixed at the specified positions through screws.

[0036] Specifically, the side surface of the guide rod 3 is provided with a rack step surface for supporting the bottle frame assembly. The bottle frame assembly is placed between the two guide rods 3. The protrusions 4 are evenly and equidistantly distributed on the rack structure, and the protrusions 4 on the two guide rods 3 are respectively arranged relatively at the same height; by controlling the clamping of the clamping portion with the limiting portions between different protrusions 4, the position adjustment of the bottle frame body 1 is realized.

[0037] In the adjustable bottle frame assembly of this embodiment, the adjusting mechanism further includes an adjusting frame 5, which is fixed to one side of the bottle frame body 1 close to the door body 2. There are two sets of clamping parts, and the two sets of clamping parts respectively penetrate through the adjusting frame 5 and are rotatably connected to the adjusting frame 5.

[0038] By controlling the rotation of the clamping part on the adjusting frame 5, the clamping state between the clamping part and the limiting part is changed, so as to realize the clamping or separation of the bottle frame body 1 and the guide rod 3. The adjustment method is simple, and the height position of the bottle frame body 1 can be flexibly adjusted; the adjusting frame 5 and the clamping part rotatably installed on the adjusting frame 5 are arranged on the back of the bottle frame body 1. While realizing the clamping with the guide rod 3 to fix the position of the bottle frame body 1, the volume of the adjusting mechanism is reduced, the space is reasonably utilized, and the normal use of the bottle frame body 1 is prevented from being affected by the adjusting mechanism, thereby improving the practicability.

[0039] In the adjustable bottle frame assembly of this embodiment, the clamping part includes a first connecting rod 6, a second connecting rod 7, and a clamping block 8 that can be clamped with the limiting part. The clamping block 8 and the second connecting rod 7 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the first connecting rod 6, and the first connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the adjusting frame 5.

[0040] Specifically, through the above structure, pulling the second connecting rod 7 drives the first connecting rod 6 to rotate around the adjusting frame 5, and further realizes the rotation of the clamping block 8, so as to control whether the clamping block 8 is clamped with the protrusion 4 on the guide rod 3, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the bottle frame body 1.

[0041] Preferably, the first connecting rod 6 and the second connecting rod 7 are integrally formed and are distributed in an L shape. The intersection of the two is rotatably installed on the adapter seat through a pin shaft, and the adapter seat is fixed to the inside of the adjusting frame 5. The clamping block 8 and the first connecting rod 6 and the second connecting rod 7 form a Z-shaped structure. Through holes are respectively opened on both sides of the adjusting frame 5 for the clamping block 8 to pass through the adjusting frame 5 and extend to the outside to be clamped with the protrusion 4. The size of the through hole matches the rotation trajectory range of the clamping block 8.

[0042] In the adjustable bottle frame assembly of this embodiment, strip-shaped holes are respectively opened at one ends of the two second connecting rods 7 close to each other, and a rotating shaft is arranged in the strip-shaped holes. The two second connecting rods 7 are respectively movably connected to the rotating shaft through the strip-shaped holes.

[0043] Specifically, the rotating shaft is arranged perpendicular to the plane where the first connecting rod 6 and the second connecting rod 7 are located. By arranging the strip-shaped hole and the rotating shaft, when the rotating shaft reciprocates in the vertical direction, while driving the second connecting rod 7 to rotate around the adjusting frame 5, the rotating shaft slides in the strip-shaped hole, avoiding interference between the rotating shaft and the second connecting rod 7.

[0044] In the adjustable bottle frame assembly of this embodiment, the adjusting mechanism further includes a pull rod 9. Both ends of the rotating shaft are inserted into the bottom of the pull rod 9, and the pull rod 9 reciprocates in the vertical direction and drives the clamping part to rotate on the adjusting frame 5 through the rotating shaft.

[0045] Specifically, a limit seat is provided at the bottom of the pull rod 9. The end parts of the two second connecting rods 7 are respectively rotatably connected in the limit seat. The rotating shaft penetrates the limit seat to limit the second connecting rod 7. Through the above structure, the linkage of pulling the pull rod 9 in the vertical direction to control the rotation of the clamping block 8 is realized, which is convenient for operation.

[0046] In the adjustable bottle frame assembly of this embodiment, the pull rod 9 penetrates the adjusting frame 5 and is slidably connected to the adjusting frame 5. A first limiting part is provided on the periphery of the pull rod 9, and the first limiting part is located above the adjusting frame 5.

[0047] Specifically, a pull rod through hole matching the pull rod 9 is opened on the adjusting frame 5. By combining the limiting effect of the first limiting part and the inner wall of the adjusting frame 5 on the first connecting rod 6, it is avoided that the length of the pull rod 9 inserted into the adjusting frame 5 is too large, resulting in the second connecting rod 7 rotating downward and driving the clamping block 8 to rotate outward by too large an angle, making the position of the bottle frame body 1 unstable.

[0048] Preferably, a pull ring is fixedly connected to the top end of the pull rod 9, which is convenient for pulling the pull rod 9 and makes the adjustment more convenient.

[0049] In the adjustable bottle frame assembly of this embodiment, a spring piece 11 is sleeved on the periphery of the pull rod 9. The pull rod 9 is slidably connected to the spring piece 11. A second limiting part 10 is provided on the periphery of the pull rod 9, and the second limiting part 10 is arranged between the rotating shaft and the spring piece 11.

[0050] The spring piece 11 is provided to provide a return spring force, ensuring that the connecting rod 9 can automatically reset after being pulled out to drive the clamping block 8 to rotate and extend out of the adjusting frame 5 to be clamped with the protrusion 4 to realize the positioning of the bottle frame body 1. At the same time, the pressing force on the second connecting rod 7 is maintained to fix the position of the clamping block 8.

[0051] In the adjustable bottle frame assembly of this embodiment, both ends of the spring piece 11 are installed on the adjusting frame 5. The middle part of the spring piece 11 protrudes toward the second limiting part 10, and the middle part of the spring piece 11 abuts against the second limiting part 10.

[0052] Specifically, waist-shaped holes are provided at both ends of the spring piece 11, and the spring piece 11 is fixed on the adjusting frame 5 by screws. When the spring piece 11 is deformed by being compressed upward by the second limiting part 10, both ends of the spring piece 11 cooperate with the screws through the waist-shaped holes to realize sliding, so that the spring piece 11 has enough telescopic clearance to ensure the normal stretching of the spring piece 11.

[0053] In the adjustable bottle frame assembly of this embodiment, a guide groove 12 is provided on one side of the guide rod 3 close to the bottle frame body 1, and guide strips 13 are respectively provided on both sides of the bottle frame body 1. The guide strips 13 are slidably connected in the guide groove 12.

[0054] By arranging the cooperation between the guide strips 13 on both sides of the bottle frame body 1 and the guide groove 12 on the side of the guide rod 3, the bottle frame body 1 is guided and limited, ensuring the smooth installation and sliding of the bottle frame body 1.

[0055] Specifically, in the normal state, due to the stress of the elastic piece 11, its arcuate shape drives the pull rod 9 to be at a low position, the limit seat abuts against one end of the second connecting rod 7, making the second connecting rod 7 in a horizontal state, and the clamping block 8 is placed on the rack step surface of the guide rod 3, thereby limiting the position of the bottle frame body 1. Combining the cooperation between the guide strip 13 and the guide groove 12, the bottle frame body 1 is stably placed between the guide rods 3. When the user needs to adjust the height of the bottle frame body 1, the user can pull the pull ring to drive the pull rod 9 to move upward. The elastic piece 11 deforms under the extrusion of the pulling force. Since the two ends of the elastic piece 11 are provided with waist-shaped holes, they can be pushed outwards. At this time, the lower end of the pull rod 9 drives one end of the second connecting rod 7 to move upward, and the first connecting rod 6 rotates, driving the clamping block 8 to contract and move inwards, and its front end no longer contacts the rack step surface of the guide rod 3, thus releasing the height limit of the position of the bottle frame body 1, and the up and down height adjustment of the bottle frame body 1 can be carried out accordingly; after releasing the pull ring, the elastic piece 11 returns to its arcuate shape, and the clamping block 8 extends out to contact the step surface again to fix the position of the bottle frame body 1.

[0056] On the other hand, the present application also proposes a refrigerator, including an adjustable bottle frame assembly according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0057] It can be expected that the refrigerator in the present application includes all the beneficial effects of the adjustable bottle frame assembly in the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.
