[0013] The beneficial effects of this application are: through the design of the positioning and installation components, not only can the built-in refrigerator be quickly positioned and flexibly installed, but also a good appearance effect can be guaranteed. At the same time, it can be reused, which improves the appearance problem of the built-in refrigerator after installation and solves the difficult installation problem of reinstallation after changing cabinets or moving.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, the following improvements can be made to this application.

[0015] In some alternative implementations, when a portion of the built-in refrigerator is installed into the cabinet, the connecting part is connected relative to the base;

[0016] When the built-in refrigerator is installed into the cabinet, the connecting part detaches from the base.

[0017] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the connectable and detachable design of the connecting part makes the pre-installation and full installation of the refrigerator simpler, and after full installation, the positioning parts can be removed to maintain the aesthetic appearance.

[0018] In some alternative implementations, there are at least two positioning and mounting components, which are spaced apart along the width of the housing at the bottom edge of the housing.

[0019] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by setting multiple positioning and installation components at the bottom edge of the cabinet, the installation position of the refrigerator can be controlled more precisely, allowing for more detailed adjustments during installation and improving installation accuracy.

[0020] In some alternative embodiments, the base has a snap-fit ​​portion, and the connecting portion engages or disengages from the snap-fit ​​portion.

[0021] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the design of the snap-fit ​​part allows the connecting part to be quickly connected or disconnected from the base, making the installation and disassembly process faster and simpler, and users can complete the operation without using complicated tools.

[0022] In some alternative implementations, the snap-fit ​​part is a snap-fit ​​slot, and the connecting part is a connecting block;

[0023] When the connecting block is inserted into the slot, the connecting part connects with the snap-fit ​​part;

[0024] When the connecting block comes out of the slot, the connecting part disengages from the locking part.

[0025] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the design of the connecting block and the slot makes the installation and disassembly process very intuitive and simple. Users only need to insert the connecting block into the slot to complete the installation, and vice versa for disassembly.

[0026] In some alternative implementations, the positioning element is a plate-like element;

[0027] The positioning component includes a positioning body, a positioning part connected to the positioning body and extending along the direction facing the cabinet, and the positioning part and the connecting part located on opposite sides of the positioning body along the depth direction of the cabinet.

[0028] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the positioning part extends by bending and contacts the cabinet, providing a clear positioning reference. This design ensures that the refrigerator can be accurately aligned with the cabinet during installation, reducing installation errors and improving positioning accuracy.

[0029] In some alternative implementations, the positioning mounting assembly further includes reinforcing ribs disposed on the positioning body.

[0030] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the addition of reinforcing ribs significantly improves the structural strength of the positioning body, effectively disperses and bears the stress from the weight of the refrigerator and external pressure, reduces the possibility of deformation, and ensures the stability of the positioning component in long-term use.

[0031] In some alternative implementations, the positioning and mounting assembly further includes a connector, with a first connecting hole in the base and a second connecting hole in the housing, the connector passing through the first and second connecting holes to connect the base and the housing.

[0032] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the connector firmly connects the refrigerator and the base by passing through the mounting holes of the cabinet and the base, providing a stable and reliable connection method, ensuring that the base and the cabinet will not separate due to vibration or external force during use.

[0034] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole of the box, providing a clear positioning reference, ensuring precise alignment between the base and the box, reducing errors in the installation process, and improving the overall installation accuracy.

[0035] In some alternative implementations, the built-in refrigerator also includes a shielding element;

[0036] Along the width of the box, there is a gap between the bottom of the box and the cabinet, and the shielding parts seal the gap.

[0037] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the shielding component can effectively cover the gap between the cabinet and the refrigerator, making the combination of the refrigerator and the cabinet more compact and coordinated, thereby making the appearance of the entire built-in refrigerator device more beautiful.

[0038] The built-in refrigerator provided in this application is installed inside a cabinet.

[0069] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. All other obtained embodiments are within the scope of protection of this application. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0070] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0071] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0072] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0073] Currently, in the process of conceiving and implementing this application, the applicant has discovered at least the following problems: the current built-in refrigerators have problems with arbitrary and inaccurate positioning during installation, and the appearance is poor.

[0074] For example, Figure 1 This is an exploded view of the assembly of an embedded refrigerator and its cabinet in the prior art. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A magnified view of a portion of point I in the middle. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly structure of an embedded refrigerator and its cabinet in the prior art. Figure 4 for Figure 3 A magnified view of a portion of point II.

[0075] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the built-in refrigerator 100 is quickly positioned by the positioning fixture 101 (such as an L-shaped positioning fixture). The advantage is that the positioning efficiency is high. The disadvantage is that the positioning fixture 101 is shipped with the product and is easily broken when the refrigerator is moved during the installation process. In addition, if the positioning fixture 101 is not removed after the refrigerator is installed, it will affect the appearance and the cabinet door will not close. Therefore, the positioning fixture 101 must be broken off, which means that the positioning fixture 101 cannot be reused. It is difficult to position the built-in refrigerator when changing cabinets or moving later.

[0076] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the embedded refrigerator provided in this application, through the design of the positioning and installation components, not only enables the embedded refrigerator to be quickly positioned and flexibly installed, but also ensures a good appearance effect and can be reused. This improves the appearance problem of the embedded refrigerator after installation and solves the difficult installation problem of reinstallation after changing cabinets or moving.

[0077] The contents of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can have a clearer and more detailed understanding of the contents of this application.

Figure 12This is a cross-sectional view of the positioning element in the embedded refrigerator in an embodiment of this application.

[0079] like Figures 5 to 11 As shown, this application embodiment provides an embedded refrigerator 100, installed within a cabinet 200. The embedded refrigerator 100 includes:

[0080] Box 110;

[0081] Positioning and installing component 120, including:

[0082] Base 121 is located at the bottom of box 110;

[0083] Positioning component 122 includes:

[0084] The connecting part 1221 is connected to or disconnected from the base 121;

[0085] The positioning part 1222 is connected to the connecting part 1221, and the positioning part 1222 matches the edge structure of the cabinet 200. When the positioning part 1222 is configured to abut against the edge of the cabinet 200, the box 110 is installed to the cabinet 200.

[0086] With the above-mentioned settings, namely the design of the positioning and installation component 120 of the embedded refrigerator 100 in this application embodiment, the embedded refrigerator 100 can be quickly positioned and flexibly installed, and a good appearance effect can be guaranteed. At the same time, it can be reused, which improves the appearance problem of the embedded refrigerator 100 after installation and solves the difficult installation problem of reinstallation after changing cabinets or moving.

[0087] It should be noted that the following provides a detailed explanation of each structure.

[0088] [Cabinet 200]

[0089] Here, the cabinet 200 defines the storage space, and the built-in refrigerator 100 is installed within the storage space.

[0090] It should be understood that the term "cabinet" as used in this utility model should be interpreted broadly, meaning it can be a single cabinet or include openings inside walls to create internal storage space, but it is not limited to these definitions. In the following description, cabinet 200 is illustrated as a single cabinet.

[0091] [Box 110]

[0092] The built-in refrigerator 100 of this application embodiment may include a cabinet 110 and a door 130. The cabinet 110 may be configured with a refrigeration compartment. The refrigeration compartment has an opening for storing food and other items. There may be one or more refrigeration compartments. When there are multiple refrigeration compartments, the multiple refrigeration compartments may be divided into a refrigerator compartment, a freezer compartment, or a variable temperature compartment, etc.

[0093] For example, the cabinet 110 may include an outer shell and an inner liner, the outer shell defining the external boundary of the built-in refrigerator 100. The inner liner may be disposed within and connected to the outer shell. The inner liner may be recessed inward to form a cooling compartment. An insulation layer may be filled between the outer shell and the inner liner, which can insulate the cooling compartment, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the built-in refrigerator 100.

[0094] The box 110 adopts a hollow cuboid structure. It is understood that in other embodiments, the box 110 may also adopt a hollow shell structure of other shapes.

[0095] In some embodiments, a refrigeration assembly (not shown) is provided inside the housing 110 to provide refrigeration for the interior of the embedded refrigerator 100 in order to maintain a low-temperature environment in each refrigeration compartment.

[0096] Refrigeration components include compressors, condensers, evaporators, and throttling devices. The specific structure and connections of these components can be found in relevant technical documentation on refrigeration components, and will not be elaborated upon here. The evaporator provides different amounts of cooling capacity to different types of storage spaces, resulting in varying temperatures within these spaces. For example, the temperature inside a refrigerator is generally between 2°C and 10°C, preferably between 4°C and 7°C. The temperature range inside a freezer is generally between -22°C and -14°C. Different types of items have different optimal storage temperatures, and consequently, different suitable storage spaces. For example, fruits and vegetables are suitable for storage in refrigerators or crisper compartments, while meat is suitable for storage in freezers.

[0097] [Gate 130]

[0098] It should be noted that the door 130 can be connected to the cabinet 110 to open or close the refrigeration compartment.

[0099] A door 130 is disposed on the front surface of the enclosure 110 to enclose the refrigeration compartment. The door 130 is configured to open and close the refrigeration compartment, meaning it can open and close the front opening of the enclosure 110. Doors 130 can be correspondingly assigned to refrigeration compartments, meaning each refrigeration compartment has one or more doors 130. The number of refrigeration compartments and doors 130, as well as the function of the refrigeration compartments, can be selected based on specific circumstances. One door 130 can be assigned to the same refrigeration compartment. Alternatively, two doors 130 can be assigned to the same refrigeration compartment.

[0100] In some possible implementations of this application, the door 130 can be rotatably connected to the cabinet 110 about the height of the cabinet 110. The door 130 can be pulled or pushed so that it rotates relative to the cabinet 110 to open or close the refrigeration compartment.

[0101] In some embodiments, the door 130 is a rotating door structure. The door 130 is rotatably disposed on the front side of the cabinet 110, and in this case, the door 130 can be used as a general door structure, such as a refrigerator door, a freezer door, etc.

[0102] Specifically, the door 130 and the cabinet 110 can be connected by a hinge so that the door 130 of the built-in refrigerator 100 can rotate around the axis of the hinge, thereby opening and closing the door 130 of the built-in refrigerator 100 and opening and closing the corresponding refrigeration compartment.

[0103] In some embodiments, the door 130 can also be a sliding door structure. The door 130 is slidably disposed on the front side of the cabinet 110, and in this case, the door 130 can be used as a drawer door. Specifically, guide rails (not shown in the figure) are respectively provided on the left and right inner side walls of the cabinet liner, and the door 130 is connected to the guide rails on both sides, thereby realizing the sliding function of the door 130 and realizing the opening and closing of the refrigeration compartment by extending and retracting the guide rails.

[0104] [Location Installation Component 120]

[0105] like Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the embedded refrigerator 100 provided in this application also includes a positioning and mounting assembly 120. Through the design of the positioning and mounting assembly 120, especially the connecting part 1221 and the positioning part 1222 of the positioning member 122, the user can easily install the refrigerator into the cabinet 200.

[0106] The precise matching of the positioning part 1222 with the edge of the cabinet 200 ensures that the refrigerator is accurately positioned during installation, reducing the risk of the refrigerator tilting or becoming unstable due to improper installation. This ensures the safety and stability of the refrigerator during use, and eliminates the need for additional measurement and adjustment during installation, thus simplifying the installation process and saving time and manpower.

[0107] With the design of the positioning component 122, the refrigerator can be firmly fixed inside the cabinet 200 after installation, preventing displacement during use. This not only improves safety but also reduces noise and vibration caused by refrigerator movement.

[0108] Furthermore, since the connecting part 1221 of the positioning member 122 is designed to be connected or detached, when the refrigerator is installed in the cabinet 200, the connecting part 1221 can be detached from the base 121, which means that the entire positioning member 122 can be detached from the base 121. At this time, there is no protruding positioning member 122 on the outside of the built-in refrigerator 100, which is more aesthetically pleasing, and the detached positioning member 122 can be reused.

[0109] Figure 13 This is an exploded view of the assembly of the embedded refrigerator and the base in an embodiment of this application. Figure 14 for Figure 13 A magnified view of a portion of point IV. Figure 15 This is an assembly structure diagram of the embedded refrigerator and its base in an embodiment of this application. Figure 16 for Figure 15 A magnified view of a portion of point V in the middle. Figure 17 This is an assembly structure diagram of the embedded refrigerator, cabinet, and base in the embodiments of this application. Figure 18 for Figure 17 A magnified view of a portion of point VI in the middle.

[0110] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some optional embodiments, when a portion of the built-in refrigerator 100 is installed onto the cabinet 200, the connecting portion 1221 is connected relative to the base 121.

[0111] like Figures 13 to 18 As shown, when the built-in refrigerator 100 is installed on the cabinet 200, the connecting part 1221 is detached from the base 121.

[0112] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the connectable and detachable design of the connecting part 1221 makes the pre-installation and full installation of the refrigerator simpler, and after full installation, the positioning part 122 can be removed to maintain the aesthetic appearance.

[0113] Specifically, before the built-in refrigerator 100 leaves the factory, the base 121 is installed at the bottom of the cabinet 110. When it is transported to the user's home for installation, the connecting part 1221 is pre-installed on the base 121. The built-in refrigerator 100 is then installed. When the built-in refrigerator 100 is installed into the cabinet 200, it is gradually placed into the cabinet 200. When the door 130 is partially exposed on the outside of the cabinet 200, the connecting part 1221 can be connected to the base 121. Then, the built-in refrigerator 100 is pushed inward, and the positioning part 1222 gets closer and closer to the edge of the cabinet 200. When the positioning part 1222 abuts against the edge of the cabinet 200, it means that the built-in refrigerator 100 has been completely installed into the cabinet 200. Then, the connecting part 1221 is removed from the base 121 to ensure a good appearance. The removed positioning part 122 can be used for the next installation and can be reused.

[0114] By providing a temporary connection during installation, users can complete the initial installation steps more quickly, and then perform final fixing after confirming that all components are aligned. This phased installation method improves overall installation efficiency and reduces installation time.

[0115] In some alternative embodiments, there are at least two positioning mounting components 120, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 110 at the bottom edge of the housing 110.

[0116] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by setting multiple positioning and installation components 120 at the bottom edge of the cabinet 110, the installation position of the refrigerator can be controlled more precisely, allowing for more detailed adjustments during installation and improving installation accuracy.

[0117] The multiple positioning mounting components 120, spaced apart along the width direction X of the cabinet 110, effectively prevent the refrigerator from shifting laterally during use. This design maintains the refrigerator's stability and position even with frequent opening and closing of the refrigerator door.

[0118] Furthermore, the multiple positioning mounting components 120 provide multiple anchoring points, making the installation process simpler and faster. Users can fix each component step by step, ensuring accuracy at every step, thus simplifying the installation process.

[0119] like Figures 9 to 12 As shown, in some alternative embodiments, the base 121 has a snap-fit ​​portion 1211, and the connecting portion 1221 is connected to or disconnected from the snap-fit ​​portion 1211.

[0120] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the design of the snap-fit ​​part 1211 allows the connecting part 1221 to be quickly connected to or disconnected from the base 121, making the installation and disassembly process faster and simpler, and the user can complete the operation without using complicated tools.

[0121] The snap-fit ​​part 1211 provides a reliable fixing method, ensuring that the connecting part 1221 can be firmly held on the base 121 after installation, reducing loosening or displacement of the refrigerator due to vibration or external force during use. Since the connecting part 1221 can be easily detached from the snap-fit ​​part 1211, it can be reused by the user.

[0122] The snap-fit ​​connector 1211 provides a clear connection location and method, reducing uncertainty and errors during installation. The snap-fit ​​connector 1211 is typically simple in design and low in manufacturing cost, which helps reduce overall production costs.

[0123] In some alternative embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion 1211 is a snap-fit ​​slot, and the connecting portion 1221 is a connecting block;

[0124] When the connecting block is inserted into the slot, the connecting part 1221 connects with the snap-fit ​​part 1211.

[0125] When the connecting block comes out of the slot, the connecting part 1221 disengages from the locking part 1211.

[0126] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the design of the connecting block and the slot makes the installation and disassembly process very intuitive and simple. Users only need to insert the connecting block into the slot to complete the installation, and vice versa for disassembly. This design reduces the need for tools and improves the efficiency of installation and disassembly.

[0127] The slot provides a clear insertion path and position, reducing uncertainty and errors during installation. After the connecting block is inserted into the slot, it provides a stable connection. This physically embedded connection method effectively prevents the connecting part 1221 from loosening or shifting during use, ensuring the stability of the refrigerator within the cabinet 200.

[0128] The tight fit between the connecting block and the slot reduces the risk of tilting or displacement of the refrigerator due to external forces during use, thereby improving safety.

[0129] The connecting block can be easily dislodged from the slot, allowing for quick removal of the positioning element 122 for future use.

[0130] Continue to refer to Figures 5 to 18 In some alternative embodiments, the positioning element 122 is a plate-shaped element;

[0131] The positioning component 122 includes a positioning body 1223, a positioning part 1222 connected to the positioning body 1223 and extending along the direction facing the cabinet 200, and the positioning part 1222 and the connecting part 1221 are located on opposite sides of the positioning body 1223 along the depth direction of the cabinet 110.

[0132] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the positioning part 1222 extends by bending and contacts the cabinet 200, providing a clear positioning reference. This design ensures that the refrigerator can be accurately aligned with the cabinet 200 during installation, reducing installation errors and improving positioning accuracy.

[0133] In some embodiments, the plate-like design provides a larger contact area, enhancing structural stability. An angle exists between the extending directions of the positioning body 1223 and the positioning portion 1222, giving the entire positioning member 122 good rigidity and strength, effectively supporting the weight of the refrigerator.

[0134] Since the positioning part 1222 and the connecting part 1221 are located on opposite sides of the positioning body 1223, during installation, it is only necessary to fix the positioning part 122 in the appropriate position.

[0135] Plate-shaped components are typically made of durable materials that can withstand wear and stress during long-term use. The design of the bent components also reduces stress concentration points, extending the service life of the positioning component 122.

[0136] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 1221 and the positioning portion 1222 extend in the same direction and have an angle with the extending direction of the positioning body 1223.

[0137] In some alternative embodiments, the positioning mounting assembly 120 further includes a reinforcing rib 123 disposed on the positioning body 1223.

[0138] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the addition of the reinforcing rib 123 significantly improves the structural strength of the positioning body 1223, effectively disperses and bears the stress from the weight of the refrigerator and external pressure, reduces the possibility of deformation, and ensures the stability of the positioning component 122 in long-term use.

[0139] Setting reinforcing ribs 123 on the positioning body 1223 can effectively prevent the material from bending or twisting under stress, which helps to extend the service life of the product.

[0140] In some embodiments, there are multiple reinforcing ribs 123, which are spaced apart on the positioning body 1223.

[0141] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 13 as well as Figure 14 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the positioning and mounting assembly 120 further includes a connector 124, the base 121 having a first connecting hole 1212, the housing 110 having a second connecting hole, and the connector 124 passing through the first connecting hole 1212 and the second connecting hole to connect the base 121 and the housing 110.

[0142] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the connector 124 firmly connects the two together by passing through the mounting holes of the cabinet 110 and the base 121, providing a stable and reliable connection method, ensuring that the base 121 will not separate from the cabinet 110 due to vibration or external force during the use of the refrigerator.

[0143] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, considering the cost of the connector 124, the connector 124 can be a threaded fastener. Correspondingly, a first connecting hole 1212 is provided on the base 121. The first connecting hole 1212 can also be a threaded hole. The connector 124 can pass through the first connecting hole 1212 and can be adjusted for fixed and disassembled by tightening or loosening it.

[0144] In addition, a second connecting hole is provided on the housing 110. The second connecting hole can be a threaded hole. The connector 124 can pass through the second connecting hole and can be adjusted for fixed and disassembled by tightening or loosening.

[0145] Specifically, the connector 124 passes through the first connecting hole 1212 and the second connecting hole in sequence and is tightened, thereby fixing the housing 110 to the base 121. Of course, when it is necessary to remove the housing 110, simply loosen the connector 124 and then remove the connector 124 from the first connecting hole 1212 and the second connecting hole in sequence.

[0146] In some alternative embodiments, the positioning and mounting assembly 120 further includes a positioning post 125, which is disposed on the base 121, and the housing 110 has a positioning hole into which the positioning post 125 extends.

[0147] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the positioning post 125 is inserted into the positioning hole of the housing 110, providing a clear positioning reference, ensuring the precise alignment between the base 121 and the housing 110, reducing errors in the installation process, and improving the overall installation accuracy.

[0148] The engagement of the positioning post 125 with the positioning hole provides additional support and stability, preventing relative movement between the base 121 and the cabinet 110 during use, and helping to maintain the stability of the refrigerator during use.

[0149] In some embodiments, there are two positioning posts 125, which are located on both sides of the first connecting hole 1212.

[0150] Figure 19 This is an exploded view of the assembly of the embedded refrigerator, cabinet, and shielding component in the embodiments of this application. Figure 20 for Figure 19 A magnified view of a portion of point VII in the middle. Figure 21 This is an assembly structure diagram of the embedded refrigerator, cabinet, and shielding component in the embodiments of this application. Figure 22 for Figure 21 A magnified view of a portion of section VIII.

[0151] like Figures 19 to 22 As shown, in some alternative embodiments, the built-in refrigerator 100 also includes a shielding member 126;

[0152] Along the width direction of the box 110, there is a gap between the bottom of the box 110 and the cabinet 200, and the shielding member 126 seals the gap.

[0153] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the shielding component 126 can effectively cover the gap between the cabinet 110 and the cabinet 200, making the combination of the refrigerator and the cabinet 200 more compact and coordinated, thereby making the appearance of the entire embedded refrigerator 100 device more beautiful.

[0154] In addition, sealing the gaps can effectively prevent dust, debris, or small insects from entering the bottom of the refrigerator or the interior of the cabinet, which not only helps keep the kitchen clean but also reduces the amount of cleaning and maintenance work.

[0155] In addition, the addition of the concealing component 126 not only serves an aesthetic purpose, but also enhances the structural integrity of the refrigerator and cabinet 200 to a certain extent.

[0156] In some embodiments, the shielding element 126 is typically designed as a modular component that is easy to install and replace, and can be adjusted or replaced as needed to keep the kitchen tidy.

[0157] The embedded refrigerator provided in this application includes a cabinet; a positioning and installation assembly including: a base disposed at the bottom of the cabinet; a positioning component including: a connecting part connected to or detached from the base; and a positioning part connected to the connecting part, wherein the positioning part matches the edge structure of the cabinet, and when the positioning part is configured to abut against the edge of the cabinet, the cabinet is installed to the cabinet.

[0158] The design of the positioning and installation components not only allows for quick and flexible positioning and installation of built-in refrigerators, but also ensures a good appearance and allows for reuse. This improves the appearance of built-in refrigerators after installation and solves the problem of difficult installation after changing cabinets or moving.
