Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field related to refrigerator embedded installation limit, and particularly relates to a depth adjustment module and a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] In order to facilitate the stable placement of the refrigerator in the user's home, the bottom of the refrigerator uses an adjustment foot mechanism to achieve the leveling of the refrigerator to stability. In addition, in order to facilitate the movement of the refrigerator during installation, the movement is mainly achieved by the rollers of the compressor base plate assembly at the bottom of the refrigerator. When the installer pushes the refrigerator to the specified position, the adjustment feet at the bottom of the refrigerator will be adjusted to level the refrigerator, so that the refrigerator remains stable and is not easy to shake or move after the adjustment feet are flush with the ground.

[0003] The current refrigerator products on the market do not consider the problem of depth adjustment, especially when the depth of the built-in refrigerator is less than the depth of the user's cabinet. During installation, the exterior surface of the refrigerator door is ensured to be flush with the cabinet. The refrigerator is only adjusted by the grip of the feet to reduce the backward movement of the refrigerator. There is no design measure to completely solve this problem. After the refrigerator is installed, when the user is using it, if he pushes the refrigerator unconsciously, the refrigerator will still move backward, especially some high-end refrigerators with automatic pressing function. When pressing to open the door, the refrigerator will be pushed backward. At the same time, when focusing on the installation of built-in refrigerators, when the user's cabinet depth (the depth of the market cabinet is usually 600mm) is greater than the depth of the built-in refrigerator (such as the current second-generation refrigerator The depth is 585mm), if there is a press or push to move the refrigerator backward, it will cause the built-in refrigerator to move backward to the inside of the cabinet, which is significantly lower than the cabinet, destroying the overall aesthetics of the built-in cabinet in the user's home.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a depth adjustment module and a refrigerator for solving the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] A depth adjustment module, the depth adjustment module comprising:

[0006] A telescopic driving member is mounted on the refrigerator body;

[0007] A fixing seat is installed on the refrigerator body, and a preset gap is formed between the fixing seat and the telescopic driving member in the width direction of the refrigerator body;

[0008] A connecting rod assembly having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is drivingly connected to the telescopic rod of the telescopic driving member, and the second end is rotationally connected to the fixing seat, and the connecting rod assembly can be deformed under the driving of the telescopic driving member;

The fixed suction cup can be driven by the deformed link assembly to extend outward from the refrigerator body in the depth direction of the refrigerator body, and the fixed suction cup extending out of the refrigerator body can abut against the wall surface.

[0010] It can be understood that through the above structural settings, when the depth adjustment module is applied to a refrigerator, the telescopic drive member can control the fixed suction cup to extend outward from the depth direction of the refrigerator body and abut against the wall surface through the link assembly.

[0021] In one embodiment, the depth adjustment module further includes a current detection sensor, which is integrated on the controller and electrically connected to the push rod motor for detecting the current input value when the push rod motor is working.

[0022] When the current input value is greater than the stall current of the push rod motor, the controller can control the push rod motor to stop running.

[0023] It can be understood that through the above structural settings, the controller can automatically control the push rod motor to stop running, thereby realizing the automatic shutdown of the refrigerator with the depth adjustment module when it is installed in the cabinet in an embedded manner and ensuring the stability of the refrigerator during the embedded installation.

[0024] In one embodiment, a fixing piece is connected to the fixing suction cup, and the fixing suction cup can abut against the wall surface through the fixing piece.

[0025] When the fixing piece abuts against the wall surface, the fixing piece can be connected to the wall surface in a glued manner.

[0043] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 shown, the depth adjustment module 100 for which this application requests protection is assembled onto the refrigerator body 200 and is used to limit the embedding depth when the refrigerator body 200 is embedded in a cabinet.

[0044] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, a depth adjustment module 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a telescopic drive member 10, a fixing seat 20, a connecting rod assembly 30 and a fixed suction cup 40, the telescopic drive member 10 and the fixing seat 20 are both installed on the refrigerator body 200, and a preset gap is formed between the fixing seat 20 and the telescopic drive member 10 in the width direction of the refrigerator body 200; the connecting rod assembly 30 has a first end 301 and a second end 302, the first end 301 is transmission-connected to the telescopic rod 111 of the telescopic drive member 10, and the second end 302 is rotationally connected to the fixing seat 20, and the connecting rod assembly 30 can be deformed under the drive of the telescopic drive member 10; the fixed suction cup 40 is installed on the connecting rod assembly 30, and the fixed suction cup 40 can extend outward from the refrigerator body 200 in the depth direction of the refrigerator body 200 under the drive of the connecting rod assembly 30 after deformation, and the fixed suction cup 40 extending out of the refrigerator body 200 can be against the wall. That is to say, the depth adjustment module 100 can use the telescopic drive member 10 to control the contact between the fixed suction cup 40 and the wall, so that the embedding depth of the refrigerator during embedded installation can be automatically limited, which can stabilize and fix the installation of the refrigerator. In this way, the aesthetics of the refrigerator using the depth adjustment module 100 can be ensured when it is embedded in the cabinet.

[0045] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic drive member 10 is configured as a push rod motor 11. Here, the depth adjustment module 100 also includes a motor mounting box 110, the motor mounting box 110 is fixedly mounted on the refrigerator body 200, and the push rod motor 11 is fixedly mounted in the motor mounting box 110, and the push rod motor 11 is assembled and connected to the refrigerator body 200. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the telescopic drive member 10 can also be configured as a telescopic cylinder, or the telescopic drive member 10 can be configured as a rotary motor, and a gear is installed on the rotating shaft of the rotary motor, and the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 111 is controlled by the meshing between the gear and the telescopic rod 111.

[0046] Preferably, the depth adjustment module 100 further includes a controller (not shown), which is electrically connected to the push rod motor 11 and is used to control the on / off of the push rod motor 11, so that the depth adjustment module 100 can be automatically controlled by the controller, which is convenient for users to operate the depth adjustment module 100. Here, the controller is a control circuit board, and the operation of the push rod motor 11 is controlled by setting a program on the control circuit board. It should be noted that the controller can be integrated with the control board on the refrigerator, so that the user can send a signal to the controller through the display screen on the refrigerator.

[0047] In one embodiment, the depth adjustment module 100 further includes a current detection sensor (not shown), which is integrated on the controller and electrically connected to the push rod motor 11, and is used to detect the current input value when the push rod motor 11 is working; and when the current input value is greater than the stall current of the push rod motor 11, the controller can control the push rod motor 11 to stop running. In other words, when the depth adjustment module 100 is working, after the push rod motor 11 drives the fixed suction cup 40 to abut against the wall through the connecting rod assembly 30, the controller can automatically control the push rod motor 11 to stop running, thereby realizing the automatic shutdown of the refrigerator using the depth adjustment module 100 when it is embedded in the cabinet, and ensuring the stability of the refrigerator when it is embedded.

[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the connecting rod assembly 30 includes a first connecting rod 31, a second connecting rod 32 and a third connecting rod 33, and the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32 and the third connecting rod 33 are hinged in sequence; wherein, the first end 301 is arranged on an end of the first connecting rod 31 away from the second connecting rod 32, the second end 302 is arranged on an end of the third connecting rod 33 away from the second connecting rod 32, and the fixed suction cup 40 is installed on the connecting portion between the second connecting rod 32 and the third connecting rod 33. When the telescopic driving member 10 is working, the first connecting rod 31 can push the second connecting rod 32 to drive the second connecting rod 32 and the third connecting rod 33 to close, and drive the fixed suction cup 40 to extend out of the refrigerator body 200 in the depth direction of the refrigerator body 200. Here, the first connecting rod 31 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 111.

[0049] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the connecting rod assembly 30 also includes a connecting seat 34, and the fixed suction cup 40 is fixedly installed on the connecting seat 34; wherein, the connecting seat 34, the second connecting rod 32 and the third connecting rod 33 share a common connecting shaft 341 for rotational connection, which can facilitate the assembly of the fixed suction cup 40 at the connecting portion between the second connecting rod 32 and the third connecting rod 33, thereby simplifying the structure.

[0050] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the connecting rod assembly 30 also includes a connecting plate 35, which has two mutually perpendicular first plates 351 and second plates 352. The first plate 351 is abutted against the fixed seat 20 and connected to the fixed seat 20, and the second plate 352 is used to be hinged with the third connecting rod 33 and realize the rotational connection of the third connecting rod 33 on the fixed seat 20.

[0051] like Figure 4As shown, a fixing piece 41 is connected to the fixing suction cup 40, and the fixing suction cup 40 can abut against the wall surface through the fixing piece 41; moreover, when the fixing piece 41 abuts against the wall surface, the fixing piece 41 can be connected to the wall surface in a gluing manner. That is to say, when the fixing suction cup 40 abuts against the wall surface, it can be connected to the wall surface through the fixing piece 41, which can prevent the refrigerator applied with this depth adjustment module 100 from moving during the door opening process, thereby further ensuring the stable fixation of the refrigerator during the built-in installation in the cabinet. Here, the material of the fixing piece 41 is metal, and specifically, it can also be assembled to the fixing suction cup 40 in a gluing manner. It should be noted that the material of the fixing suction cup 40 can specifically be flexible materials such as silicone and rubber.

[0052] As Figure 1 , Figure 3 shown, the present application also provides a refrigerator, including a refrigerator body 200 and the above-mentioned depth adjustment module 100, and the depth adjustment module 100 is installed on the refrigerator body 200. Here, a compressor compartment 201 is formed on the back of the refrigerator body 200, and the depth adjustment module 100 is arranged in the compressor compartment 201, so that the installation of the depth adjustment module 100 on the refrigerator body 200 does not occupy extra space, which can ensure the overall external aesthetic appearance of the refrigerator.

[0053] As Figure 1 , Figure 3 shown, the number of the depth adjustment modules 100 is configured to be two sets, and the two sets of depth adjustment modules 100 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the refrigerator body 200. The refrigerator can use the two sets of depth adjustment modules 100 together to realize the adjustment of the built-in depth of the refrigerator in the cabinet, which can improve the stability of the built-in depth fixation of the refrigerator in the cabinet. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of the depth adjustment modules 100 configured in the refrigerator can also be one set, three sets, four sets, or even more sets, which will not be elaborated here.

[0054] In summary, when the refrigerator applied with this depth adjustment module 100 is installed in the cabinet in a built-in manner, the telescopic driving member 10 can be used to automatically control the fixing suction cup 40 to extend out of the refrigerator body 200 and automatically realize the limit of the built-in installation of the refrigerator in the cabinet. At the same time, by using the connection between the fixing suction cup 40 abutting against the wall surface and the wall surface, it can prevent the refrigerator from being dragged due to excessive pulling force when the door is opened, and solve the problem of the subsequent movement of the refrigerator during use, ensuring the stable fixation of the refrigerator during the built-in installation in the cabinet.

[0055] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered to be within the scope described in this specification.

[0056] Those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. As long as appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments fall within the scope of the spirit of the present utility model, they fall within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.
