In the production, preservation, and transportation of aquatic products, the use of refrigerated display cases for low-temperature protection is an essential part. Proper use of refrigerated display cases ensures the proper preservation of aquatic products, maintaining their fresh taste and appearance; therefore, refrigeration is necessary.

[0003] Currently, Chinese Patent No. CN218033907U discloses a capacity adjustable seafood refrigerator, relating to the field of seafood refrigerator technology. This utility model includes a refrigerator body; limit grooves are formed around the inner wall of the refrigerator body; an adjuster is slidably connected inside the limit grooves; the adjuster includes a first adjusting plate, a limit block fixed to one side of the first adjusting plate, an adjusting groove on one side of the first adjusting plate, and sliding grooves on both sides of the first adjusting plate; a second adjusting plate is slidably connected inside the adjusting grooves, and sliders are fixed to both sides of the second adjusting plate.

[0004] However, when using the above-mentioned device, the staff needs to disassemble or reassemble the first or second adjustment plate to adjust the capacity of the refrigeration cabinet. After disassembly, the adjustment plate needs to be placed separately for protection, otherwise it is easy to get dust and bacteria if not stored properly, and its practicality is poor. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a capacity-adjustable refrigeration device. Its advantages include: avoiding the need to disassemble the adjustment plate, thus improving practicality.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable capacity refrigeration device includes a refrigeration cabinet, an adjustment mechanism is provided inside the refrigeration cabinet, a rotating mechanism is provided on the top of the refrigeration cabinet, and a fixing mechanism is provided inside the adjustment mechanism.

[0008] The adjustment mechanism includes two symmetrically distributed adjustment components, each comprising a first partition and a second partition symmetrically distributed left and right. Connecting grooves corresponding to the first and second partitions are respectively provided on the inner walls of both sides of the refrigeration cabinet. Connecting blocks are slidably connected to the inner walls of the connecting grooves. Two connecting blocks on the same side are hinged to the first and second partitions respectively. Adjusting the distance between the two first and two second partitions on the same side allows for capacity adjustment. When a larger capacity is needed, the first and second partitions can be lowered, avoiding the need to disassemble the adjustment plates and improving practicality.

[0009] The rotating mechanism includes a connecting motor that is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the top side of the refrigeration cabinet. The output shaft of the connecting motor is fixedly connected to a double-threaded rod. The double-threaded rod is threadedly connected to the connecting block. The double-threaded rod allows the connecting block to slide in the inner wall of the connecting groove.

[0010] The fixing mechanism includes fixing components that correspond one-to-one with the adjusting components. Each fixing component includes two rotating plates that are symmetrically distributed front and back. A rotating groove is provided on one side of the first partition plate, and a positioning groove is provided on the side of the second partition plate near the first partition plate. The bottom inner wall of the rotating groove is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft corresponding to the rotating plate through a bearing. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating plate. The rotating plate forms a sliding fit with the inner wall of the rotating groove and the inner wall of the positioning groove. The rotating plate allows the first partition plate and the second partition plate to be separated.

[0011] A rotating spring is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating plate, and the rotating spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove. The rotating spring ensures that the rotating plate is placed stably in the positioning groove.

[0012] A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is located outside the rotating groove. The rotating shaft facilitates the rotation of the rotating plate.

[0013] A number of evenly distributed limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the top surface of the rotating shaft, and a rotating ring is slidably connected to the surface of the rotating shaft. The inner wall of the rotating ring has limiting openings that correspond one-to-one with the limiting blocks. The inner wall of the limiting opening and the limiting block form a sliding fit. The setting of the limiting blocks can prevent the rotating shaft from rotating due to accidental collision.

[0014] The bottom of the rotating ring is fixedly connected with several evenly distributed limiting springs. The bottom of the limiting springs is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the first partition. The setting of the limiting springs allows the limiting block to separate from the limiting port.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This adjustable-capacity refrigeration device, by connecting a motor, allows the double-threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the double-threaded rod causes the connecting block to slide in opposite directions on the inner wall of the connecting groove, which can adjust the distance between the two first partitions and the two second partitions on the same side, thus enabling capacity adjustment. Therefore, it avoids the need to disassemble the adjustment plate, thereby improving practicality.

[0017] 2. This adjustable capacity refrigeration equipment can rotate in conjunction with a rotating shaft via a rotating plate. The rotating plate rotates through a rotating groove into a positioning groove, which fixes the first partition and the second partition. After the rotating plate separates from the inner wall of the positioning groove, the first partition and the second partition can be separated.

[0018] 3. This adjustable capacity refrigeration equipment can engage with the inner wall of the limiting port via a limiting block. The operator can rotate the rotating ring to make the rotating shaft rotate. After the limiting port separates from the limiting block, it can prevent accidental contact during rotation from causing the rotating shaft to rotate. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 A refrigeration device with adjustable capacity includes a refrigeration cabinet 1, an adjustment mechanism is provided inside the refrigeration cabinet 1, a rotating mechanism is provided on the top of the refrigeration cabinet 1, and a fixing mechanism is provided inside the adjustment mechanism.

[0028] The adjustment mechanism includes two adjustment components that are symmetrically distributed vertically. The adjustment components include two first partitions 2 and second partitions 3 that are symmetrically distributed horizontally. The inner walls of both sides of the refrigeration cabinet 1 are provided with connecting grooves 4 that correspond to the first partitions 2 and second partitions 3 respectively. Connecting blocks 5 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the connecting grooves 4. The two connecting blocks 5 located on the same side are hinged to the first partitions 2 and second partitions 3 respectively.

[0029] The rotating mechanism includes a connecting motor 6 fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the top of the refrigeration cabinet 1. The output shaft of the connecting motor 6 is fixedly connected to a double-threaded rod 7. The double-threaded rod 7 is threadedly connected to the connecting block 5. The double-threaded rod 7 can rotate under the rotation of the output shaft of the connecting motor 6. The rotation of the double-threaded rod 7 allows the connecting block 5 to slide in the inner wall of the connecting groove 4.

[0030] The fixing mechanism includes fixing components corresponding to the adjusting components. The fixing components include two rotating plates 11 symmetrically distributed front and back. A rotating groove 8 is provided on one side of the first partition 2, and a positioning groove 9 is provided on the side of the second partition 3 near the first partition 2. The bottom inner wall of the rotating groove 8 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 10 corresponding to the rotating plate 11 through a bearing. The rotating shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 11. The rotating plate 11 forms a sliding fit with the inner wall of the rotating groove 8 and the inner wall of the positioning groove 9. The rotating plate 11 can rotate in cooperation with the rotating shaft 10. When the rotating plate 11 rotates into the positioning groove 9 through the rotating groove 8, the first partition 2 and the second partition 3 can be fixed together. After the rotating plate 11 separates from the inner wall of the positioning groove 9, the first partition 2 and the second partition 3 can be separated.

[0031] A rotating spring 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating plate 11. The rotating spring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove 8. The rotating spring 12 can apply elastic force to the rotating plate 11, so that the rotating plate 11 can be placed stably in the positioning groove 9.

[0032] A rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 10. The rotating shaft 13 is located outside the rotating groove 8. The rotating shaft 13 allows the operator to easily rotate the rotating shaft 10, which in turn facilitates the rotation of the rotating plate 11.

[0033] A number of evenly distributed limiting blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the rotating shaft 13. A rotating ring 14 is slidably connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 13. The inner wall of the rotating ring 14 has limiting openings 16 that correspond one-to-one with the limiting blocks 15. The inner wall of the limiting opening 16 and the limiting block 15 form a sliding fit. The limiting block 15 can be engaged with the inner wall of the limiting opening 16. The operator can rotate the rotating ring 14 to make the rotating shaft 10 rotate. After the limiting opening 16 is separated from the limiting block 15, the rotation of the rotating shaft 13 can be avoided by accidental contact.

[0034] A number of evenly distributed limiting springs 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating ring 14. The bottom of the limiting springs 17 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the first partition 2. The limiting springs 17 can apply a pulling force to the rotating ring 14, which can separate the limiting block 15 from the limiting port 16.

[0035] Working principle: When in use, starting the connecting motor 6 will cause the double-threaded rod 7 to rotate. The rotation of the double-threaded rod 7 will cause the connecting block 5 to slide in opposite directions on the inner wall of the connecting groove 4, which can adjust the distance between the two first partitions 2 and the two second partitions 3 on the same side, and perform capacity adjustment. When a larger capacity is needed, the rotating ring 14 can be pulled to make the limiting block 15 located in the limiting port 16. At this time, the rotating ring 14 can be rotated to make the rotating shaft 13 rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 13 will make the rotating shaft 10 rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 10 will make the rotating plate 11 rotate. The rotating plate 11 can be separated from the inner wall of the positioning groove 9. At this time, the first partition 2 and the second partition 3 can be lowered. Therefore, the disassembly of the adjusting plate can be avoided, thereby improving the practicality.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
