[0044] In an embedded furniture, a refrigeration device can be embedded in a cabinet. Among them, the door body 20 of the refrigeration device is rotatably connected to the cabinet body 10 of the refrigeration device. The door body 20 of the refrigeration device can be used to cover the accommodation space inside the cabinet body 10, and the decorative panel 30 can be used to cover the cabinet body of the cabinet, so that the outer surface of the cabinet is combined with the home decoration style.

[0045] However, as the door body 20 of the refrigeration device is opened, the decorative panel 30 is prone to interference and collision with the side wall of the cabinet, resulting in a poor use experience of the embedded refrigerator. Therefore, this application proposes a door assembly of a refrigeration device to solve the defect that the refrigeration device is prone to interference with the side wall of the cabinet during the door opening process, affecting the use experience.

[0046] The following combines Figures 1 to 3 to describe the sliding door mechanism of the refrigeration device of this application.

[0047] According to the sliding door mechanism of the refrigeration device proposed by the embodiments of this application, the sliding door mechanism includes a first rack 100, a second rack 200, a gear component 300, and a connecting rod 400. The first rack 100 is used for slidingly mounting on the door body of the refrigeration device; the second rack 200 is used for mounting on the decorative panel, and the tooth grooves of the first rack 100 and the second rack 200 are opposite; the gear component 300 is drivingly connected to the first rack 100 and the second rack 200; the first end of the connecting rod 400 is rotatably connected to the first rack 100, and the second end of the connecting rod 400 is adapted to be rotatably connected to the cabinet body of the refrigeration device; during the opening process of the door body of the refrigeration device, the connecting rod 400 is adapted to rotate and drive the first rack 100 to slide, so that the second rack 200 moves in a direction away from the rotation side of the door body of the refrigeration device.

[0048] According to the sliding door mechanism of the embodiment of the present application, when opening the door, as the door body of the refrigeration device rotates relative to the box body, the first rack 100 is driven to slide by the connecting rod 400. The movement of the first rack 100 drives the engaged gear component 300 to rotate, and drives the second rack 200 to move in a direction away from the rotating side of the door body of the refrigeration device, so that there is a relative displacement between the decorative panel and the door body of the refrigeration device, ensuring that there is no interference when opening the door.

[0049] Similarly, when closing the door, as the door body of the refrigeration device rotates relative to the box body, the first rack 100 is driven to slide by the connecting rod 400. The movement of the first rack 100 drives the engaged gear component 300 to rotate, and drives the second rack 200 to move in a direction away from the rotating side of the door body of the refrigeration device, so that there is a relative displacement between the decorative panel and the door body of the refrigeration device, ensuring that there is no interference when opening the door.

[0050] Through the transmission of the connecting rod 400, the first rack 100, the second rack 200 and the gear assembly of the present application, the second rack 200 moves in a direction away from the rotating side of the door body of the refrigeration device during the door opening process, and the decorative panel can slide relative to the door body of the refrigeration device, thus avoiding the interference of the opening and closing of the sliding door mechanism. The structure is simple and the assembly is convenient, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the sliding door mechanism.

[0051] According to an embodiment of the present application, the gear component 300 includes a first gear 310 and a second gear 320 that are drivingly connected to each other, and the first gear 310 is in meshing transmission with the first rack 100, and the second gear 320 is in meshing transmission with the second rack 200. It can be understood that the gear assembly provides transmission for the first rack 100 and the second rack 200. Among them, the first gear 310 is used to mesh with the first rack 100, and the second gear 320 is used to mesh with the second rack 200. The first gear 310 and the second gear 320 are rotationally connected. When the first rack 100 moves, it can drive the first gear 310 to rotate, and then drive the second gear 320 to rotate, so that the second rack 200 moves linearly with the rotation of the second gear 320.

[0052] A plurality of intermediate transmission gears can be arranged between the first gear 310 and the second gear 320. The first rack 100 is adapted to drive the first gear 310 to rotate, and then drive a plurality of intermediate transmission gears to rotate, so as to drive the second gear 320 to rotate.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present application, the first rack 100 and the second rack 200 are respectively located on opposite sides of the gear component 300, and the first rack 100 and the second rack 200 are arranged in parallel.

[0054] It can be understood that the first rack 100 and the second rack 200 arranged in parallel can better balance the load and reaction force mechanically, which helps to reduce the imbalance between torque and counter-torque in the transmission door assembly, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the door assembly.

[0055] Arranging the first rack 100 and the second rack 200 on both sides of the gear assembly can make more effective use of the space between the door body and the decorative panel of the refrigeration equipment, which is easy for the installation of the first rack 100 and the second rack 200, and the operator can adjust the first rack 100 and the second rack 200 more easily.

[0056] It should be noted that the decorative panel and the refrigeration equipment are manufactured by different manufacturers respectively, and based on the user's choice, there will be different models of refrigeration equipment and decorative panels of the cabinet for assembly. The gear assembly, the first rack 100 and the second rack 200 of the present application are located between the door body and the decorative panel, and the first rack 100 and the second rack 200 are arranged on both sides of the gear assembly, which can reduce the difficulty of production and manufacturing, and at the same time reduce the difficulty of assembly.

[0057] According to an embodiment of the present application, the module of the second gear 320 is greater than the module of the first gear 310.

[0058] It can be understood that the larger the module is, it means that the pitch (i.e., the distance between teeth) of the gear or rack is larger, which will increase the linear displacement distance of the gear or rack when it rotates one circle or moves a certain distance. That is, at the same rotation angle, the displacement distance of the second rack 200 is greater than the displacement distance of the first rack 100. The larger displacement distance can reduce the transmission error and improve the adaptability of the door assembly.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present application, the sliding door mechanism of the refrigeration equipment further includes a slide rail, the slide rail is used to be installed on the door body of the refrigeration equipment, and the first rack 100 is slidably connected to the slide rail. The slide rail provides a stable guiding function for the first rack 100, ensuring the linearity and smoothness of the rack during the sliding process, which helps to reduce the noise and vibration generated by the offset or shaking of the rack, and improves the operation quality of the sliding door mechanism.

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present application, at least one side of the slide rail is provided with a limiting portion, and the limiting portion is used to limit the first rack 100 from detaching from the slide rail.

[0061] It can be understood that the limiting portion can effectively limit the movement range of the first rack 100 relative to the door body of the refrigeration equipment during the sliding process. It should be noted that the shape of the first limiting portion can be an I-shaped structure, or a spindle shape or other limiting structures, and the first limiting groove can be set corresponding to the shape of the first limiting portion.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present application, the sliding door mechanism of the refrigeration device further includes a connecting member 500. The connecting member 500 is provided with mounting holes 510 for connecting to the cabinet, and one end of the connecting rod 400 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 500.

[0063] It can be understood that the connecting member 500 is used to realize the connection between the connecting rod 400 and the cabinet in the sliding door mechanism, making the entire sliding door mechanism easier to assemble and maintain. By adjusting the position and number of the mounting holes 510 on the connecting member 500, it can flexibly adapt to the cabinets of refrigeration devices of different models and specifications. This flexibility improves the versatility and adaptability of the sliding door mechanism, enabling it to be widely used in various refrigeration devices.

[0064] The door assembly of the refrigeration device according to the second aspect embodiment of the present application includes the door body of the refrigeration device, a decorative panel, and the above-mentioned sliding door mechanism of the refrigeration device. The first rack 100 is slidably disposed on the door body of the refrigeration device; the decorative panel is connected to the second rack 200.

[0065] According to the door assembly of the embodiment of the present application, when opening the door, as the door body of the refrigeration device rotates relative to the cabinet, the connecting rod 400 drives the first rack 100 to slide relative to the door body of the refrigeration device. The first rack 100 can drive the gear component 300 to rotate and drive the decorative panel installed with the second rack 200 to slide, thereby realizing the relative movement between the door body and the decorative panel of the refrigeration device. When closing the door, as the door body of the refrigeration device rotates relative to the cabinet, the connecting rod 400 drives the first rack 100 to slide relative to the door body of the refrigeration device, thereby driving the decorative panel to slide and realizing the relative movement between the door body and the decorative panel of the refrigeration device to ensure that the decorative panel can be normally closed.

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present application, when the door body of the refrigeration device is closed, the gear component 300 meshes with one end of the first rack 100 close to the rotation side, and the gear component 300 meshes with one end of the second rack 200 far from the rotation side.

[0067] It can be understood that when the gear component 300 meshes with one end of the first rack 100 close to the rotation side, it can more effectively utilize the power of the rotation of the door body of the refrigeration device to drive the rotation of the gear component 300. At the same time, the gear component 300 meshes with one end of the second rack 200 far from the rotation side. When the gear component 300 rotates, the first rack 100 and the second rack 200 can move in opposite directions, thereby realizing the relative displacement between the door body and the decorative panel of the refrigeration device. Moreover, the meshing points of the gear component 300 with the first rack 100 and the second rack 200 are respectively designed on both sides of the rotation side, which helps to balance the force situation.

[0068] For the refrigeration device according to the third aspect embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 4 , the refrigeration device includes a box body 10 and the above-mentioned door assembly. The box body forms an accommodation space, and the door assembly is rotatably arranged on the box body to open or close the accommodation space.

[0069] It can be understood that the door assembly is arranged on the box body 10 through a rotating mechanism (such as a hinge, a rotating shaft, etc.). By rotating, the accommodation space can be opened or closed, which is convenient for users to store and retrieve items. When rotating, the decorative panel 30 and the door body 20 can have relative displacement, avoiding interference during the opening and closing of the door assembly, and greatly improving the user experience.

[0070] It should be noted that since the refrigeration device of the present application includes the above-mentioned door assembly, it has all the technical effects of the above-mentioned door assembly, which will not be elaborated here.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application, rather than limiting the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent replacements of the technical solutions of the present application do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application, and should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present application.
