[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, a refrigeration device with adjustable handle height, which can be a display cabinet, freezer, refrigerator, etc., includes a cabinet body and a cabinet door hinged to the front side of the cabinet body. A groove 1 is provided in the frame profile on the side of the cabinet door opposite to the hinge axis. The handle assembly is installed in the groove 1 and can move up and down in the groove 1. The user can adjust the position of the handle assembly according to usage habits.

[0022] The groove 1 includes a slot 11 and a slide groove 13. The width of the slot 11 is narrower than the width of the slide groove 13. A plurality of groove teeth 12 are equidistantly arranged on both sides of the slot 11 along the length direction of the slot 11 for limiting the position of the handle assembly. A guide groove is arranged on the inner side of the groove teeth 12.

[0023] The handle assembly includes a slide 3, a handle 2, and a clamping plate 4. The slide 3 is mounted in a groove 1 and can slide up and down within the groove 1. The clamping plate 4 is mounted in the slide 3. A bent clamping block 41 is provided in the middle of the clamping plate 4. The clamping block 41 extends from both sides of the slide 3 and can be engaged between two adjacent grooves 12 to fix the position of the handle assembly. The handle 2 can be displaced relative to the slide 3 to press down the clamping block 41, releasing the clamping block 41 from the groove 12.

[0024] The slide 3 is a hollow structure, comprising a protrusion 31 and a slider 32. The protrusion 31 is positioned at the notch 11, between the groove teeth 12 on either side of the notch 11. The slider 32 is positioned within the slide groove 13. A clamping plate 4 is positioned at the intersection of the protrusion 31 and the slider 32. Limiting blocks 33 are provided at both ends of the slide 3. The ends of the clamping plate 4 engage in the limiting grooves formed by the limiting blocks 33 and the inner walls of the slider 32, securing the position of the clamping plate 4. The clamping plate 4 is made of elastic metal, with a retaining groove 311 provided on either side of the protrusion 31. The sides of the retaining block 41 extend outwardly from the retaining groove 311. The upper half of the retaining block 41 can be retained between two adjacent groove teeth 12. The width of the retaining block 41 matches the spacing between the two adjacent groove teeth 12.

[0025] A slot 312 is provided at the top of the protrusion 31. The slot 312 and the clamping plate 4 form a cavity within the protrusion 31. The handle 2 is positioned within the cavity, with the grip extending from the slot 312. A raised ring 21 is provided below the grip to limit the position of the handle 2. The length of the handle 2 is shorter than the length of the cavity, allowing it to move within the cavity. The clamping plate 4 abuts the inner side of the handle 2. A wedge-shaped slot 22 is provided on the inner side of the handle 2 at a position that matches the clamping block 41. When the handle 2 is pulled up or down, the wedge-shaped slot 22 presses down on the clamping block 41. The clamping plate 4 bends inward under the pressure of the wedge-shaped slot 22, releasing the clamping plate 4 from its engagement with the groove teeth 12, thereby allowing the height of the handle 2 to be adjusted. When the handle 2 is adjusted to the desired height, the handle assembly is released, and the clamping plate 4 returns to its original position due to its own elasticity, and the clamping block reengages the groove teeth 12, securing the handle assembly.

[0026] The bottom of the slider 32 is provided with a cross-shaped mounting groove 321, through which the handle 2 and the retaining plate 4 are installed into the retaining seat. The long side of the cross-shaped mounting groove 321 matches the length of the handle 2, and the short side matches the width of the retaining plate 4. The handle assembly is assembled by sequentially installing the handle 2 and retaining plate 4 into the slider 3.

[0027] A plurality of handle assemblies can be provided in a groove 1 to accommodate people of different heights. For example, the height of one handle assembly can be adapted to the height of a child, while the height of another handle assembly can be adapted to the height of an adult.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any limitation thereto. Any person skilled in the art may utilize the above disclosure to modify or remodel the present invention into equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent variations, and modifications to the above embodiments that do not depart from the technical content of the present invention and are based on the technical essence of the present invention shall remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
