[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. Furthermore, descriptions involving "preferred," "second-best," etc., in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "preferred" or "second-best" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a drawer refrigerator door adjustment mechanism includes:

[0030] The outer casing 1 has a storage cavity 11 inside;

[0031] Drawer 2 is movably inserted into storage cavity 11;

[0032] Position adjustment component 3 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the front side of drawer 2.

[0033] The door panel 4 has a through hole 41 on its side. The position adjustment component 3 is installed in the through hole 41. A linkage structure is provided between the position adjustment component 3 and the through hole 41, which drives the door panel 4 to move axially when the position adjustment component 3 rotates.

[0034] A rotatable position adjustment component 3 is provided on the front side of drawer 2, and a door panel 4 is provided on the outer side of the front side of drawer 2. The position adjustment component 3 is installed in the through hole 41 of the door panel. When adjusting the position of the door panel 4, the position adjustment component 3 is rotated from the outside. Under the transmission action of the linkage structure between the position adjustment component 3 and the through hole 41 of the door panel, the rotation of the position adjustment component 3 drives the door panel 4 to move axially, thereby adjusting the relative position of the door panel 4 with respect to the front side of drawer 2. This achieves the purpose of changing the position of the door panel 4, so that the door panel 4 can be kept flat with the front side of the outer box 1, improving the overall aesthetics and ensuring the drawer's sealing performance.

[0035] like Figure 2-4 and Figure 6As shown, the position adjusting component 3 includes an inner ring bearing component 31 and an outer ring rotating component 32 sleeved outside the inner ring bearing component 31. A linkage structure is configured between the outer ring rotating component 32 and the door panel through hole 41. When adjusting the position of the door panel 4, the outer ring rotating component 32 is rotated from the outside, causing it to rotate on the inner ring bearing component 31. Through the linkage structure between the outer ring rotating component 32 and the door panel through hole 41, the door panel 4 is moved axially to change its position. By providing the inner ring bearing component 31 and the outer ring rotating component 32, the outer ring rotating component 32 can be rotated more easily.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, a position adjustment connector 33 is provided between the inner ring bearing component 31 and the outer ring rotating component 32. This connector breaks when the outer ring rotating component 32 is rotated, causing the inner ring bearing component 31 to separate from the outer ring rotating component 32. The position adjustment connector 33 forms a single unit between the inner ring bearing component 31 and the outer ring rotating component 32, facilitating quick installation on the front side of the drawer 2 during assembly. In this case, after the inner ring bearing component 31 and the outer ring rotating component 32 are installed, the inner ring bearing component 31 is fixedly installed on the front side of the drawer 2. Therefore, when the outer ring rotating component 32 is rotated, the position adjustment connector 33 breaks, separating the inner ring bearing component 31 from the outer ring rotating component 32, allowing the outer ring rotating component 32 to rotate on the inner ring bearing component 31.

[0037] In this case, the inner ring bearing component 31, the outer ring rotating component 32, and the position adjusting component connecting part 33 are integrally injection molded, which facilitates rapid production.

[0038] like Figure 2-6 As shown, the linkage structure includes an external thread 51 on the outer side of the outer ring rotating member 32 and an internal thread 52 on the inner side of the door panel through hole 41 that mates with the external thread 51. After the outer ring rotating member 32 is installed into the door panel through hole 41, the external thread 51 on the outer ring rotating member 32 and the internal thread 52 on the door panel through hole 41 are threadedly connected, so that when the outer ring rotating member 32 rotates, the door panel 4 moves axially under the threaded connection.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a wrench slot 321 is provided on the outer end face of the outer ring rotating component 32. After the outer ring rotating component 32 is installed into the door panel through hole 41, a polygonal wrench can be inserted into the wrench slot 321 of the outer ring rotating component 32 from the outside of the door panel through hole 41, and then the outer ring rotating component 32 can be rotated by rotating the wrench, thereby causing the door panel 4 to move axially.

[0040] like Figure 1-2 and Figure 5-6 As shown, after adjusting the position of the door panel 4, a decorative panel 9 is installed on the outer side of the door panel 4 to close the through hole 41 of the door panel and improve the overall aesthetics of the drawer refrigerator.

[0041] like Figure 2-3 and Figure 6 As shown, a boss 6 is provided on the outer side of the front side of drawer 2, and the inner ring bearing 31 is set on the boss 6, so that the inner ring bearing 31 is better fixedly installed on the front side of drawer 2, and at the same time, the contact between the outer ring rotating part 32 and the front side of drawer 2 is reduced, thus reducing the generation of rotational resistance.

[0042] like Figure 2-3 and Figure 6 As shown, the inner ring bearing component 31 is fixed to the boss 6 by screws 7 and clamping washers 10, which allows the inner ring bearing component 31 to be quickly and securely installed on the boss 6.

[0043] In this case, a position adjustment piece 3 can be installed on the front side of drawer 2 near each of the four corners. For example... Figure 2-3 and Figure 6 As shown, the front side of drawer 2 is provided with an extension plate 8 that extends out from the front side of drawer 2. A boss 6 is provided at each of the four corners of the extension plate 8, so that the four position adjustment parts 3 are respectively installed on the four bosses 6. The extension plate 8 can more reasonably set the installation position of each position adjustment part 3. At the same time, the position adjustment parts 3 are provided near the four corners to better adjust the position of the four corners of the door panel 4, thereby better keeping the door panel 4 flat with the front side of the outer box 1.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
