[0030] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In this document, the directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", and "top" are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a door body adjustment structure includes an adjustment component and a fixed component for supporting and fixing the adjustment component. The fixed component is located on the door body 1, and the adjustment component is located between the door body 1 and the limit member 2. By adjusting the adjustment component, the relative position of the adjustment component and the fixed component is changed to achieve the distance adjustment between the door body 1 and the limit member 2.

[0033] By setting up a fixing component fixed to the door body 1, it is convenient to install the adjusting component through the fixing component to achieve connection with the door body 1, so that the relative position of the adjusting component and the door body 1 can be changed by adjusting the adjusting component, and the distance between the door body 1 and the limiting member 2 can be adjusted in cooperation with the limiting effect of the limiting member 2, so as to facilitate adjustment of the position of the door body 1 and the limiting member 2 to achieve the purpose of leveling and avoid tilting of the door body 1. The adjusting component is located on the inner side of the door body 1, and is easy to adjust without affecting the external appearance of the door body 1.

[0034] In the door adjustment structure of this embodiment, the adjustment component includes an adjustment rod 3 fixedly connected to the fixed component, and the relative position between the adjustment component and the fixed component is adjusted through the adjustment rod 3.

[0035] Specifically, the adjusting rod 3 provides support for the adjusting assembly, and the adjusting assembly is adjusted to change the position of the movable structure in the adjusting assembly on the adjusting rod 3, so as to increase or decrease the length of the adjusting assembly extending to the outside of the door body 1, thereby changing the distance between the door body 1 and the limit member 2 to level the door body 1.

[0036] In the door body adjustment structure of this embodiment, an adjusting button 4 is provided on the outer periphery of the adjusting rod 3, and the end of the adjusting button 4 abuts against the limit member 2. The position of the adjusting button 4 on the adjusting rod 3 is adjusted to adjust the distance between the door body 1 and the limit member 2.

[0037] Specifically, the insertion depth of the adjusting button 4 and the adjusting rod 3 is adjusted to change the height of the adjusting button 4 protruding from the door body 1. The adjusting buttons 4 with different extension distances abut against the limit member 2 to achieve different distances between the door body 1 and the limit member 2, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the door body 1 by adjusting the adjusting button 4, which is easy to operate and quick to adjust.

[0038] In the door adjustment structure of this embodiment, the adjusting button 4 includes a nut 5, and the adjusting rod 3 is provided with an external thread. The nut 5 is threadedly connected to the adjusting rod 3, and the rotating nut 5 realizes the position adjustment of the adjusting button 4 on the adjusting rod 3 through threaded cooperation.

[0039] Through the threaded connection, rotating the adjusting button 4 drives the nut 5 to move on the adjusting rod 3 to adjust the distance between the adjusting button 4 and the door body 1, thereby changing the distance between the door body 1 and the limiter 2 to level the door body 1.

[0040] Preferably, two door bodies 1 are arranged opposite to each other. When the user wants to adjust the flatness of the door bodies 1 on both sides, he only needs to rotate the adjusting knob 4. By screwing the adjusting knob 4 in and out, the distance between the single-side door body 1 and the limiter 2 is adjusted. The adjusting knob 4 is in contact with the limiter 2 to adjust the relative position of the door bodies 1 on both sides and the limiter 2 until the flatness of the door bodies 1 on both sides is consistent.

[0041] Through the above-mentioned setting, the adjusting rod 3 is pre-installed on the door body 1 following the fixing component. When assembling the door body 1, the adjusting button 4 can be installed by simply cooperating with the nut 5 and the adjusting rod 3. The door body 1 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting button 4. This installation structure is simple, and there are fewer steps when assembling the door body 1, which improves the assembly efficiency.

[0042] In the door adjustment structure of this embodiment, the fixing assembly includes a fixing bracket 9 fixedly connected to the door 1 , a through hole 10 is formed on the fixing bracket 9 , and the adjustment rod 3 passes through the through hole 10 to be connected to the adjustment button 4 .

[0043] Specifically, the fixed bracket 9 is fixed on the top cover of the door body 1, the adjusting rod 3 passes through the through hole 10 and is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 9. The adjusting rod 3 is supported and limited by the fixed bracket 9 to prevent the adjusting rod 3 from driving the adjusting button 4 to move and affect the extension length of the adjusting button 4, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the distance adjustment between the door body 1 and the limiting member 2.

[0044] In the door adjustment structure of this embodiment, the end of the adjustment rod 3 away from the adjustment button 4 is fixedly connected to the limit block 11, and the limit block 11 is clamped in the limit groove 12 on the fixed bracket 9 to provide stable support for the adjustment button 4.

[0045] Specifically, the adjusting rod 3 and the limit block 11 form a bolt structure. The limit block 11 is the end of the bolt, which is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 9 by being clamped in the limit groove 12, thereby preventing the adjusting rod 3 from axially moving in the through hole 10 and affecting the position adjustment accuracy of the adjusting button 4.

[0046] In the door adjustment structure of this embodiment, a limiting cap 13 is provided at the end of the limiting groove 12. The limiting cap 13 is inserted into the limiting groove 12 and has an interference fit with the limiting groove 12. The limiting cap 13 is located between the outer surface of the limiting block 11 and the inner surface of the limiting groove 12.

[0047] Specifically, the limit cap 13 is installed on the reserved fixed structure of the door body 1, and the limit block 11 is fastened to the limit groove 12 through interference fit, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the bolt structure and the fixed bracket 9, thereby ensuring the fixation of the position of the adjusting button 4 after adjustment, and improving the positioning accuracy of the adjusting button 4.

[0048] In the door adjustment structure of this embodiment, the end face of the limiting block 11 is polygonal, and the shapes of the limiting cap 13 and the limiting groove 12 respectively match the polygon to limit the rotation of the adjustment rod 3 to achieve positioning.

[0049] Specifically, the limit block 11 is hexagonal, the outer side surface of the limit cap 13 cooperates with the inner side surface of the limit groove 12, and the inner side surface of the limit cap 13 cooperates with the head limit block 11 of the embedded bolt. Since the limit block 11, the limit groove 12 and the limit cap 13 are all hexagonal structures, the three will not rotate after cooperation, thereby avoiding the adjustment rod 3 from rotating when the adjustment knob 4 is rotated, ensuring that the adjustment knob 4 can realize movement on the adjustment rod 3 through threaded cooperation.

[0050] In the door adjustment structure of this embodiment, the adjustment button 4 further includes a base 6 , one end of the base 6 is provided with a reserved hole 7 , and the nut 5 is embedded in the reserved hole 7 and then fixedly connected to the base 6 .

[0051] Specifically, the base 6 is provided with a reserved hole 7 for installing the embedded nut 5, and the nut 5 is embedded and installed in the nut reserved hole 7 of the base 6. The provision of the base 6 facilitates the rotation of the base 6 to drive the nut 5 to rotate on the adjusting rod 3, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0052] Preferably, the base 6 is made of plastic to reduce weight and cost. The use of the embedded nut 5 can enhance the fixing force of the screw and prevent the adjustment rod 3 from directly engaging with the base 6 and slipping or damaging the plastic part. In this embodiment, the embedded nut 5 is installed by hot pressing. The preheated nut 5 is pressed into the reserved hole 7 of the plastic part, and the thermal expansion and contraction effect of the nut 5 is used to form a tight fit with the plastic base 6.

[0053] Preferably, a groove corresponding to the limit groove 12 is provided on the fixed bracket 9 to accommodate the base 6 and the nut 5, thereby reducing the minimum distance that the adjusting button 4 and the limit block 11 can reach; an avoidance groove is also provided on the base 6 to connect the reserved hole 7, thereby increasing the length of the adjusting rod 3 that can be inserted into the base 6. Through the above-mentioned setting, the range of the length of the adjusting button 4 extending out of the door body 1 is expanded, and the adjustment range of the distance between the door body 1 and the limit member 2 is expanded to adapt to different adjustment requirements and improve practicality.

[0054] In the door adjustment structure of this embodiment, a bushing 8 is provided at one end of the base 6 away from the fixed component, the base 6 is inserted into the inside of the bushing 8, and the end face of the bushing 8 is against the limiter 2 to realize the positioning of the fixed component and the door 1.

[0055] Specifically, a rubber sleeve reserved structure is also provided on the base 6, and the bushing 8 is directly made of rubber sleeve reserved structure of the base 6 by rubber coating process. The outer diameter of the bushing 8 is equal to the outer diameter of the base 6. The adjusting button 4 is cylindrical as a whole, with a simple structure, which is convenient for manual rotation and adjustment.

[0056] Preferably, the bushing 8 is made of silicone rubber and is injection-molded onto the reserved structure of the rubber sleeve of the base 6 through a rubber coating manufacturing process, thereby improving the aesthetics of the adjusting button 4, enhancing the anti-slip, wear resistance and impact resistance of the adjusting button 4, and at the same time buffering the limiter 2 and the door body 1 to avoid structural damage.

[0057] On the other hand, the present application also proposes a refrigerator, including a door adjustment structure described in any of the above embodiments. The refrigerator of this embodiment is provided with two door bodies 1, and the two door bodies 1 are arranged opposite to each other. The limiter 2 is specifically a refrigerator body, and the alignment is achieved by adjusting the adjustment component on the door body 1 to adjust the flatness of the two door bodies 1.

[0058] The refrigerator door body 1 of this embodiment is screwed with the embedded nut knob after the foaming is completed. This structure can ensure that when the user adjusts the relative plane of the double-door body 1, he only needs to slightly adjust the nut knobs on the door bodies 1 on both sides to adjust the size of the distance between the door body 1 and the cabinet body. The door body 1 is adjusted to achieve relative flatness, simple operation, and fast adjustment speed. In addition, the knob structure is located on the inner side of the door body 1, which improves the appearance of the refrigerator.

[0059] It can be expected that the refrigerator in the present application includes all the beneficial effects of the door adjustment structure in the above-mentioned embodiment, which will not be repeated here.
