Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.

[0047] This application provides a refrigerator door adjustment device. For an example, please refer to [link to example]. Figures 1-5 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the door adjustment device provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The structural diagram shown is an enlarged view of region A. Figure 4 for Figure 2 The diagram shows a partial sectional view of the refrigerator's structure. Figure 5 for Figure 2 The refrigerator 10 is shown in another cross-sectional view of its partial structure. The refrigerator 10 includes a cabinet 100, a door hinge 200, a door, and a door adjustment device 400. The door hinge 200 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 100, and the door forms a mounting cavity 330 with an opening 310 and a pivot hole 320. The hinge shaft 210 of the door hinge 200 engages with the pivot hole 320. The door adjustment device 400 includes an adjustment block 410, a transmission assembly 420, and a lever 430.

[0048] The adjusting block 410 is movably mounted in the mounting cavity 330 and fixedly connected to the hinge shaft 210. The transmission assembly 420 is mounted in the mounting cavity 330 and includes an input end and an output end, with the output end being drive-connected to the adjusting block 410. The lever 430 includes a transmission wheel 431 and a lever 432. The transmission wheel 431 is rotatably connected in the mounting cavity 330 and drive-connected to the input end. One end of the lever 432 is connected to the circumferential sidewall of the transmission wheel 431, and the other end is extended outside the door through the opening 310. The lever 432 is adapted to be driven by an external force to rotate the transmission wheel 431. The transmission wheel 431 is adapted to rotatably drive the adjusting block 410 to move through the transmission assembly 420, thereby causing the hinge shaft 210 to move relative to the extension direction of the pivot hole 320.

[0049] For example, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the door body includes a door shell 340 and an end cap 350. The end cap 350 is disposed at the end of the door shell 340 and forms a mounting cavity 330 with the door shell 340. An opening 310 and a pivot hole 320 are provided on the end cap 350, for example, and communicate with the internal space of the mounting cavity 330 and the outside of the door body. The door hinge 200 may be the central hinge of the refrigerator 10, including an integrally formed hinge plate (not shown) and a hinge shaft 210. The hinge plate is fixed to the cabinet 100, for example, by screws. The hinge shaft 210 passes through the pivot hole 320 to realize the rotatable connection between the door body of the refrigerator 10 and the cabinet 100. In some embodiments, a reinforcing plate 500 is also provided between the door hinge 200 and the door body. The reinforcing plate 500 is used to strengthen the strength of the mating point between the door body and the hinge shaft 210, thereby improving the quality of the refrigerator 10.

[0050] The drive wheel 431 is rotatably connected in the mounting cavity 330, meaning that the drive wheel 431 rotates about a fixed axis in the mounting cavity 330. For example, a rotating shaft mounting seat is provided on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 330, and the drive wheel 431 is rotatably connected to the rotating mounting seat via a shaft. The rotating shaft mounting seat may protrude from the inner wall of the end cover 350. Preferably, the drive wheel 431 is limited in its axial direction by the rotating shaft mounting seat, reducing the axial movement of the drive wheel 431 and improving the structural stability of the door adjustment device 400. Preferably, the opening 310 may be located on one side of the circumferential direction of the drive wheel 431 and opposite to the circumferential side wall of the drive wheel 431; the first end of the lever 432 is fixedly connected to the drive wheel 431, and the second end of the lever 432, opposite to the first end, extends to the outside of the door through the opening 310. This reduces the complexity of the lever 430 structure. The lever 432 and the drive wheel 431 may be integrally formed. The pusher block 432 and the mounting cavity 330 are spaced apart to form the inner wall of the opening 310.

[0051] In practical applications, when installers or users need to adjust the door height, they can hold the lever 432 and manually move it along the circumference of the transmission wheel 431. Twisting the lever 432 causes the transmission wheel 431 to rotate. When the transmission wheel 431 rotates, it drives the adjusting block 410 through the transmission assembly 420, causing the adjusting block 410 to move relative to the hinge shaft 210 along the extension direction of the pivot hole 320. Understandably, when the hinge shaft 210 moves relative to the pivot hole 320, the door moves up and down relative to the door hinge 200. Since the hinge is fixedly connected to the housing 100, the door also moves up and down relative to the housing 100. Thus, the door height is adjusted. When the installer or user moves the lever 432 in the first direction, the drive wheel 431 rotates clockwise, for example, causing the door to move upward relative to the housing 100; when the installer or user moves the lever 432 in the opposite second direction, the drive wheel 431 rotates counterclockwise, for example, causing the door to move downward relative to the housing 100.

[0052] The door adjustment device 400 of the refrigerator 10 provided in this application embodiment adds a lever 432, allowing the operator to move the lever 432 from outside the door to drive the transmission wheel 431 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the hinge shaft 210 to move relative to the extension direction of the pivot hole 320, thereby allowing the door of the refrigerator 10 to move up and down relative to the cabinet 100, thus adjusting the height of the refrigerator 10 door. Compared with existing door height adjustment methods, the door adjustment device 400 of this application makes the operation of adjusting the door simpler and more convenient for the operator, and saves time and effort.

[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple levers 432, which are sequentially arranged circumferentially around the transmission wheel 431. At least one of the levers 432 extends outward through the opening 310. This ensures that, even in embodiments with a large rotational stroke of the transmission wheel 431, at least one lever 432 is available for operation, guaranteeing the usability of the door adjustment device 400. Preferably, the levers 432 are evenly distributed on the circumferential sidewalls of the transmission wheel 431.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, a first limiting rib 332 protrudes from the inner wall of the mounting cavity 330, and a limiting through hole is formed on the first limiting rib 332. The transmission assembly 420 includes a transmission rod 421 and a transmission block 422. The transmission rod 421 is movably inserted into the limiting through hole and is driven by the transmission wheel 431; the transmission block 422 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rod 421 and is driven by the adjusting block 410; the transmission wheel 431 is used to rotatably drive the transmission rod 421 to move along the length direction, so that the transmission block 422 drives the adjusting block 410 to move.

[0055] The transmission rod 421 is movably inserted into the limiting hole, indicating that the movement of the transmission rod 421 in its circumferential direction is restricted by the limiting hole. The transmission rod 421 can move along its length direction and can also rotate axially within the limiting hole. The first limiting rib 332 protrudes, for example, from the inner wall of the end cap 350. The transmission block 422 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 421, so when the transmission rod 421 moves along its length direction, the adjusting block 410 also moves linearly along the length direction of the transmission rod 421.

[0056] Regarding the transmission method between the transmission rod 421 and the transmission wheel 431, this application provides the following embodiment. The transmission rod 421 includes a lead screw section 4211, and the transmission wheel 431 includes a threaded portion 4311 that mates with the lead screw section 4211, thereby rotatably driving the transmission rod 421 to move along its length. Preferably, the transmission wheel 431 has a threaded hole inside, and the lead screw section 4211 passes through the threaded hole and mates with the inner wall of the thread. This improves the stability of the transmission connection between the transmission rod 421 and the transmission wheel 431, ensures the usability of the door adjustment device 400, and enhances product quality. On the other hand, there is no need to provide a separate rotating shaft mounting base and shaft for the transmission wheel 431 to be rotatably connected in the mounting cavity 330; the transmission rod 421 can be directly used as the shaft of the transmission wheel 431.

[0057] Regarding the transmission method between the transmission rod 421 and the transmission wheel 431, this application also provides a parallel embodiment. Please refer to... Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is another schematic diagram of the door adjustment device provided in the embodiment of this application. The transmission rod 421 includes a rack segment 4212, and the transmission wheel 431 includes a gear portion 4312 that meshes with the rack segment 4212 to rotatably drive the transmission rod 421 to move along its length.

[0058] Regarding the transmission method between the transmission block 422 and the adjusting block 410, this application provides the following embodiment. Please refer to... Figure 7 , Figure 7 for Figure 1The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the door adjustment device. The adjustment block 410 includes a first inclined surface 411 facing the transmission block 422. The transmission block 422 includes a second inclined surface 4221 adapted to the first inclined surface 411. The transmission block 422 is adapted to drive the first inclined surface 411 to slide relative to the second inclined surface 4221, so that the hinge shaft 210 moves relative to the extension direction of the pivot hole 320. It should be noted that, based on the transmission method between the transmission block 422 and the adjustment block 410, the direction of movement of the transmission block 422 is different from the direction of movement of the adjustment block 410. That is, the length direction of the transmission rod 421 is different from the extension direction of the hinge shaft 210. Optionally, the length direction of the transmission rod 421 is the same as the horizontal direction of the refrigerator 10. Preferably, the transmission rod 421 extends along the width direction of the door. For example, the transmission rod 421 is horizontally mounted on the end cover 350, and its extension direction is the same as the length direction of the end cover 350.

[0059] In some embodiments, the adjusting block 410 has a protruding rib 412, and the transmission block 422 has a groove 4222, with the protruding rib 412 movably inserted into the groove 4222; wherein, a first inclined surface 411 is provided on the outer wall of the protruding rib 412, and a second inclined surface 4221 is provided on the inner wall of the groove 4222; or the adjusting block 410 has a groove 4222, and the transmission block 422 has a protruding rib 412, with the protruding rib 412 movably inserted into the groove 4222; wherein, the first inclined surface 411 is provided on the inner wall of the groove 4222, and the second inclined surface 4221 is provided on the outer wall of the protruding rib 412. Thus, the movable insertion of the protruding rib 412 into the groove 4222 improves the stability of the transmission connection between the transmission block 422 and the adjusting block 410, ensuring the usability of the door adjusting device 400 and improving product quality. Preferably, the protruding rib 412 and the groove 4222 are conformally matched.

[0060] Regarding how to efficiently and securely connect the transmission rod 421 and the transmission block 422 using a structure, this application provides the following embodiment. Please refer to... Figures 8-9 , Figure 8 for Figure 2 Another partial cross-sectional view of the refrigerator shown. Figure 9 for Figure 1The exploded view of the door adjustment device is shown. The mounting cavity 330 includes an inner mounting wall 331. A transmission block 422 has a first through groove 4223 with its opening facing the inner mounting wall 331. A fixing groove 4224 is also formed on the inner wall of the first through groove 4223. A locking block 4213 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the transmission rod 421. The inner wall of the first through groove 4223 and the inner mounting wall 331 form a through hole suitable for the transmission rod 421 to pass through. The locking block 4213 is confined in the fixing groove 4224, so that the transmission rod 421 is fixedly connected to the transmission block 422. In actual installation, the end of the transmission rod 421 can be first assembled into the first through groove 4223 of the transmission block 422 through the opening of the first through groove 4223, and the locking block 4213 can be confined in the fixing groove 4224. Then, the transmission block 422 is installed on the inner mounting wall 331 to block the opening of the first through groove 4223. In this way, the end of the transmission rod 421 can no longer exit the first through groove 4223 through the opening of the first through groove 4223, but is limited in the through hole and the fixing groove 4224, thus realizing the fixed connection between the transmission rod 421 and the transmission block 422.

[0061] Optionally, a second limiting rib 333 is also provided on the inner wall 331. The second limiting rib 333 and the inner wall 331 form a guide groove. The guide groove is used to guide the movement of the transmission block 422, so as to improve the stability of the movement of the transmission block 422 and improve the overall structural strength and stability of the device.

[0062] The door adjustment device 400 of the refrigerator 10 provided in this application embodiment adds a lever 432, allowing the operator to move the lever 432 from outside the door to drive the transmission wheel 431 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the hinge shaft 210 to move relative to the extension direction of the pivot hole 320, thereby allowing the door of the refrigerator 10 to move up and down relative to the cabinet 100, thus adjusting the height of the refrigerator 10 door. Compared with existing door height adjustment methods, the door adjustment device 400 of this application makes the operation of adjusting the door simpler and more convenient for the operator, and saves time and effort.

[0063] This application embodiment also provides a refrigerator 10, which can be as follows: Figure 2 The illustrated French door refrigerator 10 can also be a French door refrigerator 10, a side-by-side refrigerator 10, or other types of refrigerator 10. The refrigerator 10 includes a cabinet 100, a door hinge 200, a door, and a door adjustment device 400 as described in any of the above embodiments. The door hinge 200 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 100, and the door forms a mounting cavity 330 with an opening 310 and a pivot hole 320. The hinge shaft 210 of the door hinge 200 engages with the pivot hole 320; the door adjustment device 400 is installed in the mounting cavity 330.

[0064] The refrigerator 10 provided in this application embodiment has a door adjustment device 400 with an added lever 432, which allows the operator to move the lever 432 from the outside of the door to drive the transmission wheel 431 to rotate, thereby driving the hinge shaft 210 to move relative to the extension direction of the pivot hole 320, so that the door of the refrigerator 10 moves up and down relative to the cabinet 100, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the refrigerator 10 door. The operation is simple, convenient and time-saving.
