[0034] See Figures 1-9The utility model provides a refrigerator height adjusting structure 101 can make adjusting assembly 30 rise or fall through drive component 20, thereby realize the overall height adjustment of refrigerator body.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-3 , refrigerator height adjusting structure 101 includes fixed component 10, drive component 20 and adjusting assembly 30, and fixed component 10 is fixedly connected with refrigerator body, drive component 20 is connected with fixed component 10, and drive component 20 includes driving part 21 and moving part 22, and driving part 21 can drive moving part 22 to move, adjusting assembly 30 is abutted with moving part 22, and is configured to be raised or lowered in vertical direction in response to the movement of moving part 22, and adjusting assembly 30 is supported on the ground.

[0036] Thus, fixed component 10 is fixedly connected with the bottom of refrigerator 100, and its position is relatively fixed and unchanged, driving part 21 drives moving part 22 to move as a power source, moving part 22 can push adjusting assembly 30 to move through the abutting fit relationship with adjusting assembly 30, and adjusting assembly 30 moves in vertical direction in response to the movement of moving part 22, when adjusting assembly 30 falls, that is, the distance between adjusting assembly 30 and the bottom of refrigerator 100 increases, and because adjusting assembly 30 is abutted on the ground, its lowest position does not change, so the falling of adjusting assembly 30 relative to the bottom of refrigerator 100 is actually the rising of refrigerator 100 relative to adjusting assembly 30, that is, the function of heightening refrigerator 100 is realized.

[0037] It needs to be explained that the above upper or lower in vertical direction refers to the upper and lower in gravity direction when refrigerator 100 is placed on the horizontal ground in normal working state.

[0038] Further, driving part 21 is arranged as a screw rod, and moving part 22 is provided with a threaded hole 224, driving part 21 is arranged as a screw rod and extends into threaded hole 224 and is threadedly matched with driving part 21.

[0039] It can be understood that in other embodiments, drive component 20 can also be realized through other ways, for example, push rod motor, and the motor can drive the push rod to extend or retract to directly drive moving part 22 to move, and is not limited to the above threaded matching mode.

[0040] Please seeFigure 8 The adjusting assembly 30 comprises an adjusting block 31, the side of the adjusting block 31 facing the moving piece 22 is configured with a first inclined surface 311, the side of the moving piece 22 facing the adjusting block 31 is configured with a second inclined surface 221, and the first inclined surface 311 is inclined upward. Thus, since the moving piece 22 is limited by the driving piece 21, it only moves horizontally along the axial direction of the driving piece 21, and thus when the second inclined surface 221 abuts against the first inclined surface 311, the adjusting block 31 will naturally avoid the moving piece 22. Since the second inclined surface 221 is inclined upward, when the moving piece 22 presses the adjusting block 31, the adjusting block 31 will move downward, and at the same time, the cabinet of the refrigerator 100 will be lifted. Conversely, when the moving piece 22 moves away from the adjusting block 31, the cabinet of the refrigerator 100 will be lowered.

[0041] It should be explained that the first inclined surface 311 is inclined upward, which means that from the first inclined surface 311, the vertical line away from the first inclined surface 311 extends towards the direction close to the ground, that is, the plane of the first inclined surface 311 is arranged upward.

[0042] Further, the first inclined surface 311 is provided with at least one guide rib 312, the guide rib 312 extends along the length direction of the first inclined surface 311, and the moving piece 22 is in sliding connection with the guide rib 312. Thus, since the guide rib 312 and the moving piece 22 are in sliding connection, the guide rib 312 can guide the moving direction of the moving piece 22, so that the abutment of the first inclined surface 311 and the second inclined surface 221 is more stable, and the shaking is reduced.

[0043] Preferably, in the present embodiment, two guide ribs 312 are arranged on the first inclined surface 311, the two guide ribs 312 are arranged on the two sides of the width direction of the first inclined surface 311 respectively, and both extend along the length direction of the first inclined surface 311, and the two guide ribs 312 are arranged in parallel. The two guide ribs 312 arranged in this way are far away from each other, and are actually arranged on the two sides of the first inclined surface 311 far away from each other, so that the stress is more evenly distributed, and the structure of the adjusting block 31 between the two guide ribs 312 can also bear the load.

[0044] Further, the guide rib 312 comprises a connecting segment 3121 and a clamping segment 3122, the connecting segment 3121 is connected with the first inclined surface 311 and is perpendicular to the first inclined surface 311, the clamping segment 3122 is connected with the connecting segment 3121 and extends along a direction parallel to the first inclined surface 311 to form a first recess 3123, the moving piece 22 is provided with a second recess 222 and a convex rib 223, the convex rib 223 is clamped in the first recess 3123, and the clamping segment 3122 is clamped in the second recess 222. In this way, the convex rib 223 extends into the first recess 3123, and the outer side wall of the convex rib 223 abuts against the groove wall of the first recess 3123 to limit the movement of the convex rib 223 along the extension direction of the first recess 3123, so as to further improve the movement stability of the adjusting block 31.

[0045] Preferably, in the embodiment, two guide ribs 312 form two second recesses 222, and the two sides of the moving piece 22 are respectively provided with convex ribs 223, and the convex ribs 223 on the two sides are embedded in the second recesses 222, so that the two sides of the moving piece 22 are both limited.

[0046] The adjusting block 31 is provided with a movable groove 313, the movable groove 313 penetrates through the two sides of the adjusting block 31 along the axial direction of the driving piece 21 and extends along the vertical direction. In this way, since the movable groove 313 extends along the vertical direction, the groove wall of the movable groove 313 can move in the vertical direction compared with the driving piece 21, that is, the adjusting block 31 can move in the vertical direction compared with the driving piece 21, so that the adjusting assembly 30 can be raised or lowered.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 10 , the driving piece 21 is a screw rod, and the driving piece 21 is provided with a threaded portion, the length of the threaded portion is L along the axial direction of the driving piece 21, the height of the movable groove 313 is H along the vertical direction, and the included angle between the first inclined surface 311 and the horizontal direction is α, and the following relationship is satisfied: L > H / tanα. In this way, the length of the threaded portion is actually the length of the driving piece 21 that can act on the moving piece 22, and within the extension length of the threaded portion, the movement of the driving piece 21 can drive the displacement of the moving piece 22, and the displacement of the moving piece 22 can be converted into the lifting of the adjusting block 31. Therefore, the above relationship ensures that the length of the threaded portion is sufficient for the adjusting block 31 to complete the lifting adjustment.

[0048] The adjusting assembly 30 further comprises a support block 32, the support block 32 is connected with the adjusting block 31; the support block 32 is provided with a plurality of hollows 321, and the hollows 321 penetrate through the support block 32 along the extension direction of the driving piece 21. In this way, the hollows 321 help to reduce the weight of the support block 32, and the plurality of hollows 321 can improve the structural strength of the support block 32.

[0049] In the embodiment, the support block 32 and the adjustment block 31 are integrally formed. In other embodiments, the support block 32 and the adjustment block 31 can also be separately machined and then connected together.

[0050] The fixing assembly 10 comprises a fixing seat 11 and a snap spring 12, the fixing seat 11 is configured with a containing cavity, the driving assembly 20 and the adjustment assembly 30 are arranged in the containing cavity; the fixing seat 11 is provided with a through hole 111, the driving member 21 passes through the through hole 111, and the snap spring 12 is sleeved on the driving member 21 and abuts against the side of the fixing seat 11 provided with the through hole 111. In this way, the snap spring 12 ensures that the driving member 21 cannot move in the axial direction, the fixing seat 11 is used for fixing various elements, and is connected to the refrigerator body.
