Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of decorative strip technology, and in particular to an easy-to-install aluminum alloy decorative strip for refrigerators. Background Technology
[0002] The aluminum alloy decorative strips for refrigerator drawers are made of lightweight aluminum alloy and have an anodized surface, giving them both a metallic texture and low-temperature resistance. Since they are mostly located on the front panel of the drawers, they enhance the overall appearance.
[0003] Traditional aluminum alloy decorative strips serve only a decorative purpose. When food accumulates and freezes in the freezer compartment, drawers often become impossible to pull out due to resistance, making food access difficult and requiring forceful ice breaking or disassembly for repairs. This results in a poor user experience and can easily damage components. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an easily installable aluminum alloy decorative strip for refrigerators to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0004] 1. Technical Solution
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model relates to an easy-to-install aluminum alloy decorative strip for refrigerators, comprising a refrigerator drawer cabinet, locking blocks, aluminum alloy decorative strips, and mounting shafts. The inner wall of the refrigerator drawer cabinet opening has symmetrically distributed mating grooves. Vertically distributed, hollow aluminum alloy decorative strips are installed at the refrigerator drawer cabinet opening. Locking blocks, slidably installed inside the mating grooves, are mounted on both sides of the upper end of the aluminum alloy decorative strip. Symmetrically distributed positioning blocks are provided on the inner wall of the upper end of the aluminum alloy decorative strip. A spring is installed between each positioning block and locking block. The mounting shaft is inserted into the lower end of the aluminum alloy decorative strip through holes. A limit block is provided at one end of the mounting shaft. A spring is sleeved on the outer side of the mounting shaft, with both ends connected to the limit block and the inner wall of the aluminum alloy decorative strip, respectively. Positioning seats are provided on the inner wall of each mating groove, engaging with and rotating with the mounting shaft.
[0007] Furthermore, the lower ends of the two card blocks are respectively provided with toothed plate one and toothed plate two, and gears meshing with toothed plate one and toothed plate two are rotatably installed inside the aluminum alloy decorative strip;
[0008] Specifically, when one of the blocks slides, it engages with a gear through toothed plate one, and the gear engages with gear two, allowing toothed plate one and toothed plate two to move synchronously relative to or away from each other.
[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the positioning seat is a semi-circular groove, and a ball bearing that is rotatably mounted inside the positioning seat is mounted on one end of the mounting shaft.
[0010] Specifically, the ball bearings reduce the friction and resistance of the mounting shaft inside the positioning seat, allowing the mounting shaft to rotate smoothly. The positioning seat and the slide are not located on the same longitudinal plane, preventing the aluminum alloy decorative strip from sliding longitudinally at will.
[0011] Furthermore, the front end of the aluminum alloy decorative strip is provided with a travel groove one and symmetrically distributed travel groove two, the front end of the card block is provided with a travel block one that is slidably installed inside the travel groove one, and the front end of the travel block one is provided with a sliding cover one located on the front side of the aluminum alloy decorative strip;
[0012] Specifically, the travel block 1 slides inside the travel groove 1, and the sliding cover 1 is used for the friction and sliding of the user's finger, which drives the card block to slide.
[0013] Furthermore, the front end of the limiting block is provided with a second stroke block that is slidably installed inside the second stroke groove, and the front end of the second stroke block is provided with a second sliding cover located on the front side of the aluminum alloy decorative strip. The front ends of both the first and second sliding covers are provided with anti-slip textures that are evenly distributed.
[0014] Specifically, the second stroke block slides inside the second stroke groove, and the second slide cover is used for the friction sliding of the user's fingers, which drives the limit block and the mounting shaft to slide laterally. The anti-slip texture improves the anti-slip performance of the first and second slide covers.
[0015] Furthermore, the upper inner wall of the aluminum alloy decorative strip is provided with a guide rail, the upper end of the card block is provided with a sliding groove that is slidably installed with the guide rail, one end of the card block is provided with a positioning rod located inside the spring, and one end of the positioning block is provided with a positioning cylinder located inside the spring and slidably inserted with the positioning rod.
[0016] Specifically, the slide groove slides on the outer wall of the guide rail, guiding the slidingly installed locking block. When the spring extends or retracts, the positioning rod slides inside the positioning cylinder, guiding the spring to prevent it from shifting outwards and ensuring the stability of the spring extension / retraction and the locking block sliding.
[0017] 2. Beneficial effects
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0019] In this invention, the front end of the refrigerator drawer cabinet is covered by an aluminum alloy decorative strip, which also serves to beautify the front end of the aluminum alloy decorative strip. It is used to cover food and prevent food from falling to the outside when the refrigerator door is opened because the front end of the refrigerator drawer cabinet is not covered. The upper two sides of the aluminum alloy decorative strip are engaged in the docking groove inside the refrigerator drawer cabinet by elastically installed clips. The aluminum alloy decorative strip is installed in the docking groove by longitudinal insertion. Then, the lower two sides of the aluminum alloy decorative strip are rotated and installed by elastically installed mounting shafts. When the clips support the aluminum alloy decorative strip, the opening of the refrigerator drawer cabinet is closed by the vertically distributed aluminum alloy decorative strip.
[0020] At the same time, when the locking block releases the support on both sides of the upper end of the aluminum alloy decorative strip, the aluminum alloy decorative strip rotates through the mounting shaft, realizing the opening of the refrigerator drawer cabinet. When the refrigerator drawer cabinet cannot be pulled out, the front end of the aluminum alloy decorative strip opens, allowing food to be effectively removed, avoiding damage to the aluminum alloy decorative strip structure caused by violent pulling.
[0021] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] Please see Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment is a refrigerator aluminum alloy decorative strip that is easy to install, including a refrigerator drawer cabinet 1, a locking block 2, an aluminum alloy decorative strip 3, and a mounting shaft 8. The inner wall of the opening of the refrigerator drawer cabinet 1 is provided with symmetrically distributed docking grooves 6. The opening of the refrigerator drawer cabinet 1 is provided with vertically distributed aluminum alloy decorative strips 3 that are hollow inside. The upper two sides of the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3 are slidably installed with locking blocks 2 that are slidably installed inside the docking grooves 6. The upper inner wall of the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3 is provided with symmetrically distributed positioning blocks 7. A spring 12 is provided between the positioning block 7 and the locking block 2. The lower inner wall of the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3 is inserted and installed with the mounting shaft 8 through a hole. One end of the mounting shaft 8 is provided with a limit block 21. The outer side of the mounting shaft 8 is sleeved with a spring 22 whose two ends are respectively connected to the limit block 21 and the inner wall of the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3. The inner wall of the docking grooves 6 is provided with positioning seats 23 that are locked and rotated to be installed with the mounting shaft 8.
[0038] The lower ends of the two clips 2 are respectively provided with toothed plate 14 and toothed plate 2 16, and the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3 is rotatably installed with gear 15 that meshes with toothed plate 14 and toothed plate 2 16.
[0039] The inner wall of the positioning seat 23 is a semi-circular groove, and a ball bearing 9 is rotatably mounted on one end of the mounting shaft 8 and is rolled inside the positioning seat 23.
[0040] The aluminum alloy decorative strip 3 has a travel groove 19 and a symmetrically distributed travel groove 20 at the front end. The front end of the card block 2 is provided with a travel block 17 that is slidably installed inside the travel groove 19. The front end of the travel block 17 is provided with a sliding cover 4 located on the front side of the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3.
[0041] The front end of the limiting block 21 is provided with a stroke block 2 18 that is slidably installed inside the stroke groove 20. The front end of the stroke block 2 18 is provided with a sliding cover 2 5 located on the front side of the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3. The front ends of the sliding cover 1 4 and the sliding cover 2 5 are provided with anti-slip textures 24 that are evenly distributed.
[0042] The upper inner wall of the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3 is provided with a guide rail 13, the upper end of the card block 2 is provided with a sliding groove 10 that is slidably installed with the guide rail 13, one end of the card block 2 is provided with a positioning rod 25 located inside the spring 12, and one end of the positioning block 7 is provided with a positioning cylinder 11 located inside the spring 12 and slidably inserted with the positioning rod 25.
[0043] In this embodiment, during the installation phase, the operator first vertically aligns the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3 with the opening above the refrigerator drawer cabinet 1. The mounting shaft 8 is then slid into the upper end of the docking groove 6. At this time, the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3 can slide and rotate longitudinally through the mounting shaft 8. After the locking block 2 is located inside the docking groove 6, it ensures that the sliding of the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3 is restricted from rotation. Subsequently, the sliding cover 2 5 slides and compresses the spring 22, pressing down the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3. At this time, after the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3 aligns with the positioning seat 23, the sliding cover 2 5 is relaxed. The elastic force of the spring 22 pushes the mounting shaft 8 to slide outward of the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3. The mounting shaft 8 is located inside the positioning seat 23, but still maintains an elastically tightened state. In this state, after the upper two sides of the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3 are engaged with the docking groove 6, the elastic connection of the spring 12 provides a lateral pre-tightening force to the locking block 2, ensuring that the locking block 2 automatically rebounds and locks when the decorative strip is inserted longitudinally. The lower mounting shaft 8 is pushed outward under the action of the spring 22, so that the ball 9 at the end of the limiting block 21 is embedded in the semi-circular groove of the positioning seat 23, thus completing the fixing of the decorative strip. In daily use, the decorative strip acts as a front baffle to effectively prevent food from falling. Its anodized surface has both aesthetic appeal and low-temperature resistance, enhancing the overall texture of the refrigerator and facilitating the installation of the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3. At this time, the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3 is directly combined with the refrigerator drawer cabinet 1, improving practicality and aesthetics.
[0044] When the freezer compartment freezes and the drawer cannot be pulled out, first slide the sliding cover 4 with your thumb. This will cause the travel block 17 to move the locking block 2 outward along the guide rail 13. The toothed plate 14 drives the gear 15 to rotate, and the linkage toothed plate 2 16 causes the locking blocks 2 on both sides to move in opposite directions synchronously. The locking blocks 2 disengage laterally from the docking groove 6, releasing the upper end of the aluminum alloy decorative strip 3 from being fixed. This also releases the rotation restriction adjustment of the mounting shaft 8. The drawer can then rotate outward around the mounting shaft 8 to open at a 45° angle, exposing the internal space at the front of the drawer. Users can directly access the food at the bottom without having to forcefully break the ice or disassemble parts, solving the problem of limited operation caused by the single function of traditional decorative strips.
[0045] The gear 15 linkage mechanism ensures that the two side blocks 2 move synchronously, improving unlocking efficiency and allowing disassembly to be completed with one hand. The ball bearing 9 design reduces the friction coefficient of the mounting shaft 8, ensuring smooth opening of the decorative strip. Compared with traditional decorative strips, the refrigerator drawer cabinet 1 improves maintenance efficiency and is suitable for emergency handling scenarios of large-capacity freezer drawers. While ensuring appearance quality, it effectively avoids functional defects.
