Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment accessories, specifically a damping positioner. Background Technology

[0002] A freezer is a container used to store ice produced by an ice maker. The ice maker is placed at the opening on top of the freezer, which usually has a door for retrieving ice and for keeping the freezer warm.

[0003] In related technologies, the door panel of a refrigerator typically uses a simple and smooth pin-shaft rotation connection to achieve a rotational connection between the door panel and the refrigerator.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, when the door is closed, gravity causes it to slam heavily onto the ice bucket, generating significant noise and posing a risk of finger injury. Furthermore, during the process of opening the door to retrieve ice, the door may slip off the attachment point of the machine head, potentially causing injury to the operator. These issues warrant improvement. Utility Model Content

The damper shaft is connected to the positioning part and fixedly connected relative to the positioning part. The damper housing is fixedly connected to a positioning disk assembly. The positioning disk assembly is provided with at least one positioning hole. The positioning part is provided with at least one compressed ball assembly. The damper housing drives the positioning disk assembly to rotate, so that the positioning hole corresponds to the position of the ball assembly, releasing the ball positioning, or causing its relative position to deviate, restoring the ball to the compressed state, and releasing the positioning.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning part includes a positioning body, the center of which is provided with a mounting hole, the mounting hole is fitted onto the damper shaft for positioning and installation, and a fixing member is provided at the end of the mounting hole to connect to the damper shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the fasteners are washers and screws.

[0010] Preferably, two sets of ball bearing assemblies are arranged around the circumference of the locator body, and the two sets of ball bearing assemblies are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning disk assembly includes a positioning disk, the positioning disk is connected to a positioning disk connector, and the positioning disk connector is connected to the damper housing.

[0012] Preferably, the positioning disk is provided with two positioning holes, and the positioning holes correspond to the positions of the ball assembly.

[0013] Preferably, the positioning disk is provided with three positioning holes, two of which correspond to the position of the ball assembly, and the other positioning hole corresponds to the rotation circle of the ball assembly.

[0014] This invention integrates damping and positioning into one unit. The damping component provides a slow-closing effect when the refrigerator door closes, while the clever connection between the damping and positioning components ensures relative positioning, thus guaranteeing proper door opening and positioning when used on a refrigerator. This invention features a simple structure, reliable function, and its integrated design facilitates installation. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1-4As shown, a damping positioner includes a damping part and a positioning part, which are installed as a single unit using washers 6 and screws 7. The damping part is a large-angle damper 1, which includes a damper housing 11 and a damper shaft 12, and the damper housing 11 and the damper shaft 12 can rotate relative to each other. The positioning part includes a positioner body 4, a ball bearing assembly 5, a positioning disk 3, and a positioning disk connector 2. Two sets of ball bearing assemblies 5 are installed on the positioner body 4, and the positioner body 4 is sleeved on the damper shaft 12 and cannot rotate relative to the damper shaft 12. The positioning disk 3 has three positioning holes, which cooperate with the ball bearings for positioning. The positioning disk 3 is fixed to the damper housing 11 by the positioning disk connector 2 and cannot rotate relative to the damper housing 11.

[0024] In this embodiment, a ball bearing assembly is installed on the positioner body, and the positioner body is fitted onto the damper shaft. When the door rotates, the position of the positioner body is relatively stable, ensuring that the ball bearing assembly can cooperate with the positioning hole on the positioning plate at the appropriate time.

[0025] The three positioning holes on the positioning plate must accurately align with the pin assembly when the door is opened and the damper housing rotates to a certain angle, allowing the pin assembly to pop out and engage with the positioning holes at this point, thus achieving top positioning of the door. Simultaneously, the positioning plate is fixed to the damper housing via a positioning plate connector, and its position is correlated with the rotation of the damper housing to ensure accurate timing of engagement with the pin assembly.

[0026] This invention integrates damping and positioning into one unit. The damping component provides a slow-closing effect when the refrigerator door closes, while the clever connection between the damping and positioning components ensures relative positioning, thus guaranteeing proper door opening and positioning when used on a refrigerator. This invention features a simple structure, reliable function, and its integrated design facilitates installation.

[0027] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
