[0002] During the production and transportation process, the doors of refrigeration equipment (such as refrigerators) need to be moved to different workstations for assembly line production, processing and assembly. During the movement between different workstations, it is necessary to ensure their integrity and quality to avoid damage caused by bumps, scratches or improper operation.
[0003] Traditionally, refrigerator doors are transported using trolleys for storage and handling. However, this method has several drawbacks: First, a single trolley can typically only store one type of door, requiring multiple trolleys to be placed alongside the assembly line, consuming significant space. Assembly personnel also need to shuttle between different trolleys to find matching doors, increasing labor intensity and increasing the risk of errors. Second, trolleys cannot effectively interface with automated transport systems (such as overhead conveyor systems), relying on manual labor for delivery, resulting in high labor intensity and low efficiency. Furthermore, when storing doors on trolleys, there is often a lack of effective separation and protection between doors, making them prone to collisions during transport and increasing the defect rate. Finally, the difficulty in accessing and removing doors from the lower layers of the trolley further reduces operational efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional modifications made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are included within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0032] It should be understood that terms such as “above,” “over,” “below,” and “under” used herein to indicate spatial relative position are for illustrative purposes to describe the relationship of one unit or feature relative to another unit or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings. The terms “spatial relative position” may be intended to include different orientations of the equipment in use or operation other than those shown in the figures.
[0033] One embodiment of this utility model provides a transport suspension device 100 for refrigeration equipment door 60, which enables efficient transportation and effective protection and facilitates automated conveying. This transport suspension device 100 solves problems such as high labor intensity, high defect rate, and incomplete door assembly in traditional transportation methods.
[0034] The refrigeration equipment in this embodiment can be a refrigerator, freezer, upright refrigerator, wine cabinet, etc. The following embodiment uses a refrigerator as an example for explanation. The refrigerator door type can be French door, cross door, or side-by-side door, etc.
[0035] The transport suspension device 100, through its innovative structural design, enables complete storage, efficient transportation, and effective protection of various types of refrigeration equipment doors 60. It is suitable for different types of refrigeration equipment doors 60, such as French doors, cross doors, and double doors 65.
[0036] This embodiment provides a transport suspension device 100 for a refrigeration equipment door 60, such as... Figure 1 and 2 As shown, it includes a frame body, a partition component 40, and a suspension component 50.
[0037] The main frame is the core support structure of the device, consisting of a bottom support 10, a top support 20, and a pair of side frames 30, forming a stable three-dimensional frame.
[0038] The bottom support 10, serving as the base of the device, is made of high-strength material and can withstand the weight of multiple refrigeration equipment doors 60 while maintaining overall stability. Its design is typically flat or features reinforcing ribs to ensure that it does not deform or shift during transportation.
[0039] Top support 20 Figure 3 As shown, the top support 20 and the bottom support 10 are arranged opposite each other and serve as the mounting base for the suspension assembly 50. Its structural design must balance strength and lightweight to ensure smooth operation in the overhead conveyor system. The top support 20 is typically a transverse beam structure, tightly connected to the suspension assembly 50.
[0040] A pair of side frames 30 connect the bottom support 10 and the top support 20, forming the lateral skeleton of the frame. The side frames 30 are made of sturdy metal material and have sufficient rigidity to resist lateral forces during transportation, ensuring the stability of the overall frame structure.
[0041] The partition assembly 40 includes several layers of longitudinal limiting plates 41, which are arranged side by side between a pair of side frames 30. The adjacent longitudinal limiting plates 41 and the adjacent longitudinal limiting plates 41 and the side frames 30 form a storage area 101, which is used to place the refrigeration equipment door 60.
[0042] Longitudinal limiting plates 41 are arranged side by side between the side frames 30, forming an independent storage area 101 between each limiting plate for placing a refrigeration equipment door 60. The design of the limiting plates ensures that the doors do not come into contact with each other, avoiding collisions or scratches during transportation.
[0043] The spacing and number of layers of the longitudinal limiting plates 41 can be flexibly adjusted according to the type and size of the door to adapt to different types of refrigeration equipment doors 60. The following are specific partitioning methods for three typical door types:
[0044] French door panels consist of two upper refrigerator compartment doors and two lower drawer doors. When storing French door panels... Figure 4 As shown, the partition component 40 can store all the doors of two refrigerators through partitioning, namely four first French doors 61 (refrigerator compartment doors) and four second French doors 62 (drawer doors), making full use of vertical and horizontal space to ensure the complete storage of two sets of French doors.
[0045] The cross-shaped door system consists of two upper doors and two lower doors. When storing the cross-shaped door system... Figure 5As shown, the partition component 40 can store all the doors of two refrigerators through partitioning, namely four first cross doors 63 (upper doors) and four second cross doors 64 (lower doors). By adjusting the spacing and height, it can meet the needs of first cross doors 63 and second cross doors 64 of different sizes.
[0046] The double door unit 65 comprises two long, narrow doors. When storing the double door unit 65, as follows... Figure 7 As shown, the partition component 40 can store all the doors of two refrigerators, i.e., four double doors 65, through partitioning.
[0047] In some of the embodiments described below, such as Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 7, by adjusting the flipping of the support flap 421, the French door, the cross door, and the double door 65 can all be transported using the same set of transport suspension device 100.
[0048] The longitudinal limiting plate 41 of the partition assembly 40 can be adjusted according to the size and quantity of the door, allowing the device to adapt to different types and sizes of doors. This versatility avoids the need to replace the transport suspension device 100 due to different door models, reducing production costs.
[0049] The suspension assembly 50 is installed on the top of the top support 20. The suspension assembly 50 is adapted to the suspension chain conveyor system to realize the automated transportation of the device.
[0050] The suspension assembly 50 typically includes hooks or connectors that allow for seamless integration with overhead conveyor systems. Through the movement of the overhead chain, the device can be automatically transported along the production line, reducing the labor intensity of manual handling.
[0051] The connection between the suspension assembly 50 and the top support 20 adopts a high-strength fixing method (such as welding or bolt connection) to ensure that the device will not shake or fall off during transportation, thereby ensuring the safety of the door.
[0052] This transport suspension device 100, through the rational design of its frame body, partition component 40, and suspension component 50, achieves complete storage, efficient transportation, and effective protection for various types of refrigerator doors, including French door doors, cross door doors, and double door doors 65. The device's flexibility and versatility allow it to adapt to different models of refrigerator doors, improving production efficiency, reducing labor intensity and defect rates, and providing a practical solution for transporting refrigeration equipment doors 60.
[0053] Furthermore, both the pair of side frames 30 and the separator assembly 40 are composed of multiple rollers 31.
[0054] like Figure 1 , 4As shown in Figures 5 and 7, the side frame 30 is formed by multiple rollers 31 arranged in parallel, constituting the lateral support structure of the frame. The longitudinal limiting plate 41 of the partition assembly 40 is also composed of multiple rollers 31, which are arranged in parallel to form the boundary of the storage area 101. The rollers 31 have a cylindrical appearance and a smooth surface, which can reduce friction when the door is placed and removed.
[0055] By using roller 31 as the main component of side frame 30 and separator assembly 40, the weight of the entire device is reduced, and it has high structural strength, improving the ease and safety of transportation.
[0056] The bottom support 10 is set as a base plate with multiple holes. A pair of side frames 30 and at least part of the rollers 31 of the separator 40 are inserted into the holes.
[0057] The positions and sizes of these holes are adapted to the rollers 31 of the side frame 30 and the partition assembly 40. The lower ends of the rollers 31 are inserted into the holes in the base plate, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the side frame 30 and the partition assembly 40 and the bottom support 10. The base plate, as the bottom support 10, provides a stable foundation for the entire frame and facilitates the installation and removal of the rollers 31 through the hole design.
[0058] The holes in the base plate provide precise positioning points for the roller 31, ensuring that it can be installed vertically and securely. This plug-in connection simplifies the assembly process and allows for flexible adjustment of the layout of the partition components 40 according to the size and number of doors, improving the adaptability of the device. The stable support of the base plate enhances the overall structural strength of the frame, ensuring the stability and safety of the device during transportation, thus providing reliable protection for the transport of the refrigeration equipment door 60.
[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the top support 20 includes a support frame 21 and a top plate 22. The support frame 21 is fixedly connected to the roller 31, and the top plate 22 covers the support frame 21. The fixed connection between the support frame 21 and the roller 31 serves to connect and support, ensuring the stability and load-bearing capacity of the top support 20.
[0060] The suspension assembly 50 is installed above the top plate 22, such as Figure 3 As shown, the top plate 22 forms a closed structure of the top support 20, and the top plate 22 can prevent dust from falling onto the door below.
[0061] The vertical direction in this embodiment is determined based on the direction of gravity.
[0062] The suspension assembly 50 is connected to the overhead chain conveyor system via the top plate 22, enabling the entire device to achieve automated transportation, reduce manual operation, and improve transportation efficiency.
[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the partition component 40 also includes a horizontal partition 42, which divides the storage area 101 into multiple layers in the vertical direction, greatly improving space utilization.
[0064] The horizontal partition 42 can be fixed or adjustable, depending on the specific needs. Its upper surface is used to place the refrigeration equipment door 60, enabling layered storage of the doors. This layered design allows the device to accommodate more doors within a limited space, making it particularly suitable for storing multiple sets of doors. The horizontal partition 42 provides additional support, ensuring the doors remain stable during transportation and preventing damage caused by stacking or tilting. Simultaneously, it facilitates the categorized storage and management of doors, improving operational efficiency.
[0065] like Figure 7 and 8 As shown, the horizontal partition plate 42 includes a supporting flap 421, which has a horizontal state and a vertical state.
[0066] In the horizontal position, the support flap 421 divides the storage area 101 into upper and lower layers, and the upper surface of the support flap 421 is used to place the refrigeration equipment door 60.
[0067] In the vertical position, the storage areas 101 on the upper and lower sides of the supporting flap 421 are connected to place the refrigeration equipment door 60, which is suitable for large-sized doors.
[0068] The switching of the support flap 421 can be achieved through mechanical structures such as hinges or slide rails. When the support flap 421 is in the horizontal state, it can be fixedly connected to the longitudinal limiting plate 41 or the side frame 30 by a pin to form a stable support. When the support flap 421 switches from the horizontal state to the vertical state, the pin can be removed, and the support flap 421 will naturally fall to the vertical state under the action of gravity.
[0069] The design of the supporting flap 421 enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the device. In the horizontal position, small doors can be stored in layers, increasing storage density; in the vertical position, large doors can be accommodated, expanding the range of applications. This adjustable structure can accommodate different door sizes while providing stable support in the horizontal position, ensuring safe transportation.
[0070] For example Figure 4 , 5 In sections 7 and 8, the same transport suspension device 100 is used for French door panels, cross door panels, and double door panels 65, respectively. French door panels and cross door panels are placed when the support flap 421 is placed horizontally. Large double door panels 65 are placed when the support flap 421 is placed vertically.
[0071] By flexibly adjusting the partition component 40, the device can simultaneously accommodate multiple types of doors (such as French doors, cross doors, and double doors 65), achieving complete set storage of all doors. Assembly personnel no longer need to search for different doors one by one at the assembly line, significantly improving work efficiency.
[0072] Furthermore, the transport suspension device 100 also includes a buffer layer disposed on the upper surface of the transverse partition 42, and / or the upper surface of the bottom support 10, and / or the side of the partition assembly 40.
[0073] The buffer layer can be made of flexible materials such as rubber, foam or silicone to provide a flexible contact surface for the door and reduce hard contact.
[0074] The buffer layer significantly enhances the protection of the door. The buffer layers of the horizontal partition 42 and the bottom support 10 act as shock absorbers and anti-slip agents during placement, preventing damage to the door from vibration or impact. The side buffer layers protect the door edges from bumps and scratches, improving safety, while also reducing wear and tear on the device due to contact, extending its service life.
[0075] The transport suspension device 100 also includes safety ropes, such as Figure 7 As shown, the protective rope prevents the refrigeration equipment door 60 from falling out of the storage area 101.
[0076] The protective ropes can be made of durable materials such as high-strength fiber ropes or steel wire ropes and are installed on the outside of the frame body (such as the side frame 30 or the top support 20) to restrict the movement of the door and prevent it from falling off or shifting during transportation.
[0077] Protective ropes provide additional security for the gate. Attached to the outside of the frame, they restrict lateral movement and prevent detachment due to bumps or tilting. The ropes' flexibility restrains the gate while preventing damage, and they facilitate quick installation and removal, improving ease of operation.
[0078] Furthermore, the protective rope includes a fixed end and a plug end, with the fixed end being fixedly connected to one side frame 30.
[0079] like Figure 1 and 8 As shown, a pair of side frames 30 are provided with multiple adjustment holes 32 along the vertical direction. The plug end is inserted into one of the multiple adjustment holes 32 to adjust the tension and coverage of the rope.
[0080] The design of the fixed and plug-in ends of the protective rope, combined with the adjustment hole 32, provides height adjustability. Users can select the adjustment hole 32 according to the size and number of doors to adjust the rope height and tension, ensuring a close fit to the door and providing optimal protection. This design enhances the adaptability and targeted protection of the device, ensuring the safety of doors of different sizes.
[0081] Furthermore, the transport suspension device 100 for the refrigeration equipment door 60 also includes an identification module that stores information about the refrigeration equipment door 60 within the frame body.
[0082] The identification module can be an RFID tag, barcode, or QR code, installed in an appropriate position on the main frame, storing door information (such as model, quantity, production batch), and can be used in conjunction with external scanning equipment or management systems.
[0083] The identification module enhances the intelligence and management efficiency of the equipment. Operators or the system can quickly obtain door information, avoiding the tediousness and errors of manual recording. It supports traceability management, ensuring the controllability of production and transportation, and interfaces with modern warehousing and logistics systems, promoting automation and intelligent development.
[0084] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
[0085] The transport suspension device 100 of the refrigeration equipment door 60 significantly improves the storage and transportation process of the refrigeration equipment door 60. The partition component 40 divides the interior of the frame into multiple storage compartments 101. Through the flexible design of the partition component 40, it can adapt to refrigeration equipment doors 60 of different sizes and types, and can be used to accommodate doors of multiple models of refrigeration equipment, realizing the complete transportation of different refrigeration equipment doors. The suspension component 50 is installed on the top support 20 and is adapted to the overhead chain conveyor system, enabling the device to seamlessly connect with automated transportation equipment, reducing the labor intensity of manual delivery, improving transportation efficiency, and solving the problems of high labor intensity and incomplete door sets in traditional tooling vehicle transportation. It provides a practical solution for the safe and efficient transportation of refrigeration equipment doors 60.

This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
