[0034] When a refrigerator is in use and the door is heavily loaded, there is a possibility of it tipping forward when opened, potentially causing personal injury and damage to belongings. Related technologies typically use fixed anti-tipping structures to secure the refrigerator to the wall to prevent it from tipping over. However, each user's installation environment is different, and fixed anti-tipping structures have certain limitations.

[0035] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose an anti-tipping component and a refrigerator, aiming to at least solve the technical problem that fixed anti-tipping structures have certain limitations in related technologies.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the anti-tipping component 100 is used in a refrigerator 1000. The anti-tipping component 100 includes at least two fixing members 1 and at least one connecting member 2. The at least two fixing members 1 include at least one first fixing member 11 and at least one second fixing member 12. The first fixing member 11 is used to fix to a wall, and the second fixing member 12 is used to fix to a position above the bottom of the refrigerator body 200. The connecting member 2 is flexibly arranged and connects the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12.

[0037] In the technical solution of this utility model, the anti-tipping component 100 includes at least two fixing members 1 and at least one connecting member 2. The at least two fixing members 1 include at least one first fixing member 11 and at least one second fixing member 12. The first fixing member 11 is used to fix to the wall, and the second fixing member 12 is used to fix to the position above the bottom of the refrigerator body 200. Thus, when it is necessary to connect the refrigerator body 200 to the wall, the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 are connected by the connecting member 2, and then the first fixing member 11 is fixed to the wall, thereby fixing the refrigerator 1000 to the wall and reducing the possibility of the refrigerator 1000 tipping over. Since the connecting member 2 is flexibly designed, the position of the first fixing member 11 is relatively adjustable, so that the first fixing member 11 can be fixed to the wall at a suitable position, improving the overall applicability of the anti-tipping component 100.

[0038] The connector 2 is designed to be flexible so that the position of the first fixing member 11 can be adjusted relative to the first fixing member 11. This allows for selection of a suitable installation position based on the installation environment after the refrigerator 1000 is in place. The connector 2 can be either extendable or bendable.

[0039] Specifically, the connector 2 can be an elastic band, which changes position of the first fixing member 11 by its own elasticity. The connector 2 can be a steel wire rope or hemp rope, which, although having poor elasticity, can be bent to change position of the first fixing member 11 on the wall.

[0040] There are various ways to fix the connector 2 to the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12. In some embodiments, the connector 2 can be fixedly connected to the first fixing member 11 or the second fixing member 12 by adhesive at its end. In the embodiments of this utility model, at least one end of the connector 2 is wrapped around the first fixing member 11 or the second fixing member 12. With this arrangement, in addition to changing the fixing position of the first fixing member 11 to the wall by the flexibility of the connector 2 itself, the number of turns of the connector 2 around the first fixing member 11 or the second fixing member 12 can also be changed, so that the adjustable range of the first fixing member 11 is wider and can adapt to more complex installation environments.

[0041] When the connector 2 is connected to the first fixing member 11 or the second fixing member 12 by means of a winding, in order to improve the stability of the winding, in this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 2The fixing member 1 is provided with a through hole 1a, which is used for the connecting member 2 to be wound around. In this way, the connecting member 2 can pass through the through hole 1a and be repeatedly wound around the fixing member 1. Of course, this design is not limited to this. When the fixing member 1 is provided in a columnar shape, a slot can also be opened on the outer periphery of the fixing member 1, and the connecting member 2 can be wound in the slot.

[0042] It is understandable that when only one second fixing member 12 is provided, due to the flexible design of the connecting member 2, the refrigerator body 200 may rotate in other directions around the connecting member 2 and the second fixing member 12 when tilting forward. To further improve the stability of the refrigerator 1000, in this embodiment of the invention, two second fixing members 12 are provided, which reduces the possibility of the refrigerator body 200 rotating in other directions. Of course, three or even more second fixing members 12 can also be provided.

[0043] When the number of second fasteners 12 is set to two, the number of first fasteners 11 can be set to two, or only one. Since the fixing method of the first fastener 11 to the wall is usually destructive, such as fixing with expansion bolts after drilling, it will cause some damage to the wall and make installation more complicated; therefore, in this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 The second fixing member 12 is provided in two parts, and the first fixing member 11 is provided in one part; the at least one connecting member 2 connects the first fixing member 11 and the two second fixing members 12; that is, the first fixing member 11 is connected to the two second fixing members 12 to stabilize the cabinet 200 of the refrigerator 1000, reduce damage to the wall, and make installation more convenient.

[0044] It should be noted that "the at least one connector 2 connects the first fixing member 11 and the two second fixing members 12" means that when there are two second fixing members 12 and one first fixing member 11, the connector 2 can be one, two, or even more.

[0045] Specifically, in an embodiment of this utility model, the connector 2 is configured as one, with its two ends respectively fixedly connected to two second fixing members 12, and its middle part fixedly connected to the first fixing member 11.

[0046] When two connectors 2 are provided, one end of one connector 2 is connected to one of the second fixing members 12, and the other end is connected to the first fixing member 11, and the other connector 2 is connected in the same way. A first fixing member 11 and a second fixing member 12 can also be connected by multiple connectors 2.

[0047] The first fastener 11 can take various forms. In some embodiments, the first fastener 11 is in the form of a connecting plate, and the connecting member 2 is connected to the connecting plate, while the connecting plate is fixed to the wall by screws. When the first fastener 11 is in the form of a connecting plate, a slot or through hole 1a can be opened on the connecting plate for the middle part of the connecting member 2 to be wound around. When the connecting member 2 is in the form of a flexible strip, the connecting member 2 can be bonded to the connecting plate.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first fixing member 11 includes a fixing screw, and the middle part of the connecting member 2 is wound around the fixing screw, which is directly fixed to the wall. The fixing screw itself has a threaded groove, and when the middle part of the connecting member 2 is wound around the fixing screw, it can be directly wound around the threaded groove, or the through hole 1a can be provided at the head of the fixing screw. Of course, when providing the through hole 1a at the head of the fixing screw, it is preferable to provide two through holes, symmetrically arranged, which makes the overall tension on the housing 200 more balanced and the stability higher.

[0049] This utility model also proposes a refrigerator 1000, which includes a cabinet 200 and an anti-tipping component 100. The specific structure of the anti-tipping component 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this refrigerator 1000 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] In the technical solution of this utility model, the anti-tipping component 100 includes at least two fixing members 1 and at least one connecting member 2. The at least two fixing members 1 include at least one first fixing member 11 and at least one second fixing member 12. The first fixing member 11 is used to fix to the wall, and the second fixing member 12 is used to fix to the position above the bottom of the refrigerator body 200. Thus, when it is necessary to connect the refrigerator body 200 to the wall, the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 are connected by the connecting member 2, and then the first fixing member 11 is fixed to the wall, thereby fixing the refrigerator 1000 to the wall and reducing the possibility of the refrigerator 1000 tipping over. Since the connecting member 2 is flexibly designed, the position of the first fixing member 11 is relatively adjustable, so that the first fixing member 11 can be fixed to the wall at a suitable position, improving the overall applicability of the anti-tipping component 100.

[0051] The second fastener 12 can be fixed to the back of the box 200, the top of the box 200, or the side of the box 200.

[0052] In this embodiment, the refrigerator 1000 has a depth range of 435–550 mm; a width range of 830–990 mm; and a height range of 1700–2100 mm. It should be noted that the refrigerator 1000 may have only one of these dimensions, or two or all three dimensions together.

[0053] In this embodiment, two second fixing members 12 are provided, and one first fixing member 11 is provided. The at least one connecting member 2 connects the first fixing member 11 and the two second fixing members 12. The two second fixing members 12 are respectively fixed to the top of the box 200 near both ends. Since the box 200 usually tilts forward during use, that is, it rotates with the lower front end as the support point, placing the second fixing members 12 on the top of the box 200 makes the lever arm of the force exerted by the connecting member 2 on the box 200 longer, which means that the tension of the connecting member 2 will be smaller, making the connecting member 2 less prone to damage.

[0054] It is understood that, for the refrigerator 1000, the hinge seat 300 used to support the rotation of the door 400 is usually located at the top of the cabinet 200. When the second fixing member 12 is fixed to the top of the cabinet 200, it can be fixed by the hinge seat 300 to avoid damaging the top structure of the cabinet 200. That is, in this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The refrigerator 1000 also includes a hinge seat 300 disposed on the top of the cabinet 200. The hinge seat 300 is used to support the rotation of the cabinet door 400. The second fixing member 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet 200 through the hinge seat 300.

[0055] The connection between the second fixing member 12 and the hinge seat 300 can be achieved by fixing with screws or by bonding.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the hinge seat 300 is provided with a first clearance hole 301, which is used for screws to fix the hinge seat 300 to the housing 200; the second fixing member 12 is provided with a second clearance hole 121 opposite to the first clearance hole 301. By providing the second clearance hole 121 on the second fixing member 12, when assembling the second fixing member 12 and the hinge seat 300, the second fixing member 12 and the hinge seat 300 can be directly stacked vertically, so that the first clearance hole 301 and the second clearance hole 121 are aligned. Thus, the second fixing member 12 and the hinge seat 300 can be fixed to the housing 200 with a single screw, making assembly convenient, quick, and stable.

[0057] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
