DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0052] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0053] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to implement different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.
[0054] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative positional relationship or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figure, such as "inside", "outside", "inner side", "outer side", "below", "below", "above", "above", "front", "back", etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a position flip or a posture change or a motion state change, then these directional indications also change accordingly, for example: an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented as "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features". Therefore, the example term "below..." may include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.
[0055] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, an adjustment device can be installed in a household appliance, such as a household appliance, a washing machine and other embedded devices, wherein a box, a box body or a bottle frame is provided in the household appliance, and when the adjustment device is switched to the adjustment state, the position of the box, the box body or the bottle frame can be adjusted. When the adjustment is adjusted to the target position, the adjustment device is switched to the locking state to fix the box, the box body or the bottle frame. The adjustment device can be one or more, depending on the number of boxes, boxes or bottle frames to be fixed.
[0056] In order to further facilitate the understanding of the technical solution in this application, this application takes a household appliance as a household appliance, and the household appliance includes a door body 1 and a bottle frame 2 for exemplary matching. Among them, the bottle frame 2 can be, for example, two, three or four, and multiple bottle frames 2 are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction, which is subject to actual conditions. The bottle frame 2 can be used to store items, for example, to make full use of the space of the door body 1 and improve space utilization.
[0057] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment device includes, for example, a guide structure 3 and an adjustment structure 4. The guide structure 3 can be fixedly connected to the door body 1 to improve the stability and reliability of the guide structure 3 when it is set. Among them, the bottle frame 2 can be connected to the adjustment structure 4 to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the bottle frame 2 on the guide structure 3. For example, two guide structures 3 can be set, and the two guide structures 3 are symmetrically arranged in the vertical direction to provide stable support for the bottle frame 2. The number of the adjustment structures 4 is consistent with that of the guide structures 3 to achieve a one-to-one corresponding connection.
[0058] The adjustment structure 4 is configured to move or be fixed on the corresponding guide structure 3 to achieve the adjustment of the bottle frame 2. Each adjustment structure 4 includes a driving mechanism 41 and an adjustment mechanism 42, and the driving mechanism 41 is connected to the bottle frame 2, so that the user can apply a driving force to the driving mechanism 41 through the bottle frame 2.
[0059] The adjustment mechanism 42 includes two fixing components 421 and a roller component 422 . The two fixing components 421 are arranged relative to each other, for example, symmetrically arranged along the vertical direction. Part of the structure of the driving mechanism 41 is clamped between the two fixing components 421 to facilitate driving the fixing components 421 .
[0060] For example, two roller assemblies 422 can be provided, and the two roller assemblies 422 are symmetrically arranged in the horizontal direction. Each roller assembly 422 is connected to two fixed assemblies 421. The two roller assemblies 422 provide a stable pulling force for the fixed assembly 421 and a stable sliding support force for the bottle frame 2.
[0061] When the adjusting device switches from the adjusting state to the locking state, the driving mechanism 41 rotates relative to the fixed component 421. The driving mechanism 41 can drive the two fixed components 421 to move in opposite directions. The fixed component 421 can then abut against the guide structure 3. The fixed component 421 drives the roller component 422 to move, and the roller component 422 deforms and contracts, causing the roller component 422 to withdraw from the guide structure 3.
[0062] When the adjustment device switches from the locked state to the adjusted state, the driving mechanism 41 rotates relative to the fixed assembly 421, unloading the force on the two fixed assemblies 421, and the roller assembly 422 rebounds and resets, so that the two ends of the roller assembly 422 abut against the guide structure 3, and the roller assembly 422 can drive the two fixed assemblies 421 to move toward each other, and the fixed assembly 421 retreats from the guide structure 3 to release the locked state. When adjusting the position of the bottle frame 2, its roller assembly 422 can slide or roll on the guide structure 3 to achieve smoothness during movement, reduce movement resistance, and improve the user experience.
[0063] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the roller assembly 422, for example, includes an elastic member 4221, two rocker arms 4222 and two roller members 4223. The two rocker arms 4222 and the two roller members 4223 are symmetrically arranged along the vertical direction, wherein the two roller members 4223 are connected by the elastic member 4221. The elastic member 4221 is, for example, a preloaded spring, which can deform and shrink or rebound and reset. When the elastic member 4221 rebounds and resets, it can push the two roller members 4223 to move in opposite directions, so that the roller members 4223 abut against the guide structure 3.
[0064] The roller member 4223 is connected to the fixed assembly 421 through the rocker arm 4222 , and the roller member 4223 drives the fixed assembly 421 to move through the rocker arm 4222 .
[0065] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the roller member 4223 includes a roller adjustment mounting seat 42231 and a roller 42232, and each roller adjustment mounting seat 42231 is connected to both ends of the elastic member 4221. The roller adjustment mounting seat 42231 can be bonded to the elastic member 4221, which is simple to operate and easy to implement. Alternatively, the roller adjustment mounting seat 42231 can be detachably connected to the elastic member 4221, for example, a fixing pile 42233 is provided on the roller adjustment mounting seat 42231, and the fixing pile 42233 is inserted into the elastic member 4221 to limit the deformation direction of the elastic member 4221.
[0066] The roller 42232 is rotatably mounted on the roller adjustment mounting seat 42231, so that the roller 42232 can slide or roll on the guide structure 3, reduce resistance, and improve smoothness during adjustment. For example, a first mounting shaft 42234 is provided on the roller adjustment mounting seat 42231, and the roller 42232 can be mounted on the first mounting shaft 42234.
[0067] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the rocker arm 4222 includes an arm body 42221, a first shaft 42222 and a second shaft 42223. The first shaft 42222 and the second shaft 42223 are installed on both sides of the arm body 42221. The first shaft 42222 is movably connected to the roller adjustment mounting seat 42231, and the second shaft 42223 is movably connected to the corresponding fixed component 421.
[0068] The roller adjustment mounting seat 42231 is provided with a second groove 42235, and the first shaft 42222 is movably arranged in the second groove 42235. The second groove 42235 is, for example, U-shaped to ensure that the first shaft 42222 can be stably located in the second groove 42235 to prevent the first shaft 42222 from being separated from the second groove 42235.
[0069] Wherein, for example, mounting ear plates 42224 are provided at both ends of the rocker arm 4222, and the first shaft body 42222 and the second shaft body 42223 are respectively mounted on the corresponding mounting ear plates 42224, and the axis directions of the first shaft body 42222 and the second shaft body 42223 are consistent with the thickness direction of the door body 1. The second shaft body 42223 is movably arranged on the fixing assembly 421 to facilitate the movement of the fixing assembly 421.
[0070] When the driving mechanism 41 drives the fixing assembly 421 to abut against the guide structure 3, each fixing assembly 421 drives the corresponding arm body 42221 to move, so that the first ends of the two arm bodies 42221 move away from each other. Based on the lever principle, the second ends of the two arm bodies 42221 move toward each other, and the elastic member 4221 is compressed.
[0071] When the driving mechanism 41 releases the force on the fixing assembly 421, the elastic member 4221 restores the elastic force and pushes the roller member 4223 to both sides, so that the roller 42232 abuts against the guide structure 3, so as to roll or slide along the guide structure 3 to adjust the bottle frame 2. The roller member 4223 drives the corresponding rocker arm 4222 to move, so that the second ends of the arm bodies 42221 move away from each other. Based on the principle of lever, the first ends of the two arm bodies 42221 move toward each other, driving the fixing assembly 421 to withdraw from the guide structure 3, ensuring that the roller 42232 can roll or slide normally, and completing the adjustment of the position of the bottle frame 2.
[0072] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, each fixing component 421 includes a fixing block 4211 and two connecting wings 4212 arranged on the fixing block 4211, wherein the fixing block 4211 is, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped to increase the contact area with the guide structure 3, ensure stability during abutment, and provide sufficient friction surface and friction force.
[0073] The two connecting wings 4212 are symmetrically arranged in the horizontal direction, and a first slide groove 4213 is formed between each connecting wing 4212 and the fixing block 4211, or the connecting wings 4212 are V-shaped to form the first slide groove 4213, so that the second shaft body 42223 can be movably arranged in the corresponding first slide groove 4213. The notches of the first slide grooves 4213 in the two connecting wings 4212 are arranged in opposite directions to accommodate the second shaft body 42223 of the corresponding roller assembly 422.
[0074] In order to avoid increasing the width of the fixing block 4211 and affecting the internal layout, the fixing block 4211 is provided with a recessed portion 42113, and the connecting wing 4212 is arranged in contact with the recessed portion 42113. At the same time, it can also ensure that the notch of the first slide groove 4213 is vertically upward or vertically downward, and when accommodating the second shaft body 42223, it can stably place the second shaft body 42223 in the first slide groove 4213 to avoid falling off. The second shaft body 42223 can move in the first slide groove 4213 along at least one direction of its axial direction, vertical direction, and horizontal direction.
[0075] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 4As shown, each fixing assembly 421 includes an abutment block 4214, which is disposed on a side of the fixing block 4211 close to the guide structure 3, and the abutment block 4214 is detachably connected to the fixing block 4211. When the adjustment device is in a locked state, the abutment block 4214 abuts against the guide structure 3.
[0076] First example
[0077] The abutment block 4214 is directly attached to the surface of the fixed block 4211 to simplify the installation method and facilitate implementation. The abutment block 4214 is, for example, bonded to the fixed block 4211 to facilitate assembly and improve assembly efficiency. The abutment block 4214 is, for example, a rubber friction pad to increase the friction between the abutment block 4214 and the guide structure 3.
[0078] Second example
[0079] The difference from the first example is that, for example, a first groove 42111 is provided on the fixing block 4211, and the abutting block 4214 can be buried in the first groove 42111 to achieve the installation of the abutting block 4214. The size of the abutting block 4214 can match the size of the first groove 42111, such as interference fit, to ensure the reliability of the abutting block 4214 during installation and prevent it from falling off. The surface of the abutting block 4214 protrudes from the edge of the first groove 42111 to ensure that the abutting block 4214 can abut against the guide structure 3.
[0080] Third Example
[0081] The difference from the first example or the second example is that the fixing block 4211 is provided with a mounting blind hole 41112, and the abutting block 4214 is provided with a mounting column 42141, so that when the abutting block 4214 is installed to the fixing block 4211, its mounting column 42141 is plugged and connected with the mounting blind hole 41112, so as to further improve the reliability of the connection. It is understandable that the number of the above-mentioned mounting blind holes 41112 and mounting columns 42141 can be 1, 2, or more, etc., which shall be subject to the actual situation.
[0082] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the fixing assembly 421 includes a limiting portion 4215 disposed on the fixing block 4211, and the limiting portion 4215 is located between the two connecting wings 4212. The limiting portion 4215 is, for example, a strip-shaped protrusion protruding from the surface of the fixing block 4211. When the adjustment device is in a locked state, the driving mechanism 41 abuts against the limiting portion 4215, and the limiting portion 4215 is configured to limit the further movement of the driving mechanism 41, thereby ensuring that the driving mechanism 41 cannot rotate further.
[0083] The limiting portion 4215 can be set, for example, at the middle position of the fixed block 4211. When the driving mechanism 41 rotates, the driving mechanism 41 continuously squeezes the fixed blocks 4211 on both sides, and when reaching the limiting portion 4215 at the middle position, the driving mechanism 41 cannot move further, but the distance between the two fixed blocks 4211 that are relatively arranged is the farthest, ensuring that when the abutting block 4214 abuts against the guide structure 3, the mutual resistance force is the largest.
[0084] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the driving mechanism 41 includes a driving cam 411 . The driving cam 411 is located between the fixing components 421 . The driving cam 411 rotates relative to the fixing components 421 , so that the driving cam 411 abuts against the fixing components 421 or retracts from the fixing components 421 .
[0085] When the driving cam 411 abuts against the fixing assembly 421, the elastic member 4221 deforms and contracts. When the driving cam 411 withdraws from the fixing assembly, the elastic member 4221 rebounds and resets. When the elastic member 4221 rebounds and resets, the rebound direction of the elastic member 4221 is consistent with the movement direction of the roller member 4223, so as to ensure that the roller member can move along a straight line and abut against the guide structure 3.
[0086] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the driving mechanism 41 includes a driving handle 412, so that the driving handle 412 can apply driving force to the driving cam 411. The driving handle 412 is, for example, a driving mounting seat, which can provide a force application point for the user.
[0087] The driving handle 412 is fixedly connected to the driving cam 411 to improve the reliability of the connection.
