Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of refrigeration, and in particular to a drawer and refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] As a member of the home environment, refrigerators have varying requirements regarding their appearance for each individual and family. The introduction of dual-unit refrigerators, in particular, has raised these demands. When two refrigerators are joined together, differences in the levelness and tilt angle of the drawer doors become especially noticeable. Inconsistent drawer door tilt angles can lead to difficulty in opening or closing the drawers, and may even cause jamming or unusual noises. Currently, there are various solutions available for addressing uneven drawer doors, but when the tilt angles differ, the drawer doors need to be disassembled and reassembled, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but may also damage the drawer doors.

[0040] To provide a better understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of this application, detailed descriptions are provided below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0041] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a drawer 100, comprising a door body 1 having a door liner 11, a pair of first supports 2 spaced apart along the length of the door body 1 on the rear side of the door liner 11, a pair of second supports 3 respectively connected to the pair of first supports 2, and a pair of slide rails 4 respectively connected to the pair of second supports 3.

[0042] The first bracket 2 includes a main body 21 and a connecting part 22 that are connected to each other and bent at a right angle, and the connecting part 22 is connected to the second bracket 3;

[0043] An angle adjustment mechanism is provided between the connecting part 22 and the second bracket 3;

[0044] The angle adjustment mechanism includes a first eccentric wheel 51 or a gear assembly 52.

[0045] A door 1 is located at the front end of drawer 100 and is used to close and conceal the interior space of drawer 100. Door 1 includes an external door panel and an internal door liner 11; the door liner 11 is used to strengthen the structure of door 1 and improve the overall strength of door 1; a pair of first brackets 2 are spaced apart along the length of door 1 on the rear side of door liner 11. Each first bracket 2 includes a main body 21 and a connecting part 22 that is connected to it and bent at a right angle; the main body 21 is fixedly connected to door 1 by screws, welding, etc., and the connecting part 22 extends from the main body 21 and connects to second brackets 3; a pair of second brackets 3 are simultaneously connected to the connecting parts 22 of the pair of first brackets 2 and a pair of slide rails 4; so that drawer 100 door 1 can slide smoothly open and close on slide rails 4.

[0046] An angle adjustment mechanism is specially provided between the connecting part 22 and the second bracket 3. The angle adjustment mechanism includes adjustment elements such as the first eccentric wheel 51 or the gear assembly 52, that is, the angle adjustment structure can be one of the first eccentric wheel 51 or the gear assembly 52.

[0047] The first eccentric wheel 51 may include a circular wheel body and an eccentric shaft. When the first eccentric wheel 51 rotates, it adjusts the relative position between the connecting part 22 and the second bracket 3, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the drawer 100 door 1.

[0048] The gear assembly 52 includes at least one gear, which changes the meshing relationship with other components through gear transmission to achieve angle adjustment.

[0049] The second bracket 3 is integrally formed with the slide rail 4.

[0050] The angle adjustment mechanism in this application allows for easy adjustment of the tilt angle of the drawer 100 door 1 to ensure that its appearance is consistent with other doors 1 or the overall appearance of the refrigerator.

[0051] In the first embodiment, the main body 21 is provided with a left-right adjustment mechanism, which includes a second eccentric wheel 61. The second eccentric wheel 61 passes through the main body 21 and is riveted to the door liner 11, so that when the second eccentric wheel 61 is rotated, the door liner 11 moves in the left-right direction relative to the main body 21; the left-right direction is parallel to the length direction of the drawer 100 door 1.

[0052] The second eccentric wheel 61 includes a second riveting part 611, a second connecting part 612, and a second force-applying part 613 arranged sequentially. The second eccentric wheel 61 passes through the main body 21. The second riveting part 611 is connected to the door liner 11 by riveting, so that the second eccentric wheel 61, the main body 21, and the door liner 11 form a tight whole. The main body 21 is provided with a first elongated hole 62, so that the second connecting part 612 of the second eccentric wheel 61 forms a clearance fit with the short axis of the elongated hole.

[0053] The clearance fit described in this application is configured such that the clearance between the second connecting part 612 of the second eccentric wheel 61 and the short axis of the elongated hole is 0.1 mm.

[0054] The long axis of the elongated hole is perpendicular to the left and right movement direction of the second eccentric wheel 61 when adjusting the door body 1.

[0055] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the drawer 100 door 1 in the left and right directions, simply apply a little force to the second force application part 613 to rotate the second eccentric wheel 61. As the second eccentric wheel 61 rotates, the relative position between the axis of its riveting part and the main body part 21 will change, thereby causing the door liner 11 to move in the left and right directions, that is, causing the door 1 to move in the left and right directions.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, a reinforcing plate 12 is provided between the door liner 11 and the door panel. The second eccentric wheel 61 passes through the first elongated hole 62 and the door liner 11 and is riveted to the reinforcing plate 12. The reinforcing plate 12 and the door panel are fixed together by foam material.

[0057] In the first embodiment, the angle adjustment mechanism includes a first eccentric wheel 51, which passes through the connecting portion 22 and is riveted to the second bracket 3; such that when the first eccentric wheel 51 is rotated, the second bracket 3 rotates relative to the connecting portion 22.

[0058] The first eccentric wheel 51 includes a first riveting part 511, a first connecting part 512, and a first force-applying part 513. The first eccentric wheel 51 passes through the connecting part 22 of the first bracket 2, so that its first riveting part 511 is riveted to the second bracket 3, thereby forming a tight and stable whole between the first eccentric wheel 51 and the second bracket 3. The first connecting part 512 of the first eccentric wheel 51 and the connecting part 22 of the first bracket 2 are configured to be clearance fit, allowing the first eccentric wheel 51 to have a certain amount of movement relative to the connecting part 22 of the first bracket 2 when rotating.

[0059] In this application, the gap is set to 0.1 mm.

[0060] Since the first connecting part 512 and the connecting part 22 of the first bracket 2 are fitted with a clearance, the rotation of the first eccentric wheel 51 can proceed smoothly. When the first eccentric wheel 51 is rotated by the first force application part 513, its eccentric shaft will drive the second bracket 3 to rotate relative to the connecting part 22 of the first bracket 2. This rotation is transmitted to the door body 1 through the connecting part 22, so that the pitch angle of the door body 1 changes, thereby realizing the fine adjustment of the pitch angle of the door body 1.

[0061] In the first embodiment of this application, the angle adjustment mechanism adjusts the pitch angle to -1.2° to 1.2°. Specifically, the pitch angle adjustment range of the door body is achieved by customizing the eccentricity of the eccentric wheel.

[0062] In the first embodiment, the connecting part 22 further includes a sliding groove 23, which includes an open end and a tail end. After the first bracket 2 is assembled with the door body 1, the door body 1 is fixed to the second eccentric wheel 61 through the sliding groove 23. During the fixing process, the second eccentric wheel 61 slides from the open end to the tail end.

[0063] The slide groove 23 is disposed on the connecting part 22. The slide groove 23 has an open end and a tail end. From the open end to the tail end, the slide groove 23 gradually rises and bends. Specifically, the diameter of the open end of the slide groove 23 is larger than that of the tail end, that is, the diameter of the open end of the slide groove 23 is relatively wide, so as to facilitate the smooth insertion of the second eccentric wheel 61, and to increase the stability of the door 1 and the second bracket 3 by changing the extension path of the slide groove 23. The tail end of the slide groove 23 is narrower than the open end, which is used to limit the sliding of the second eccentric wheel 61 at the tail end, and to ensure the stability of the drawer 100 door 1 after it is fixed to the second bracket 3.

[0064] After the first bracket 2 is assembled with the door body 1, the second eccentric wheel 61 is inserted into the open end of the slide groove 23. Due to the spacious design of the open end, the second eccentric wheel 61 can easily and smoothly enter the tail end of the slide groove 23. During the insertion process, the outer diameter of the second eccentric wheel 61 fits snugly against the inner wall of the slide groove 23. When the second eccentric wheel 61 slides to the tail end of the slide groove 23, it cooperates with the tail end for positioning, thus achieving the final fixation of the door body 1 and the slide rail 4.

[0065] The open end is also provided with a guide slope to reduce the resistance when the second eccentric wheel 61 is inserted, so that the second eccentric wheel 61 can enter the groove 23 correctly and smoothly.

[0066] Optionally, the first eccentric wheel 51 and the second eccentric wheel 61 have different specific structures. The first eccentric wheel 51 is a capped eccentric wheel, that is, the thickness of the first force-applying part 513 of the first eccentric wheel 51 is significantly smaller than the thickness of the second force-applying part 613 of the second eccentric wheel 61. When the first eccentric wheel 51 slides in the groove 23, its outer diameter is in close contact with the inner wall of the groove 23, ensuring smooth sliding; at the same time, the capped design increases the contact area between the eccentric wheel and the groove 23, improving sliding stability.

[0067] In the second embodiment of this application, the angle adjustment structure is configured as a gear assembly 52. ​​The gear assembly 52 includes a first gear 521 disposed between the second bracket 3 and the connecting part 22 and a first ratchet 522 disposed around the first gear 521. The first ratchet 522 includes a movable end, which rests on the outer edge of the first gear 521. The first gear 521 is fixed to the door liner 11. Pushing the outside of the door body 1 causes the first gear 521 to rotate to a fixed angle, and the first ratchet 522 fixes the first gear 521.

[0068] Specifically, the central shaft of the first gear 521 is fixed to the second bracket 3. The side of the first gear 521 near the door body 1 is adapted to the door liner 11 of the door body 1. The first gear 521 is fixed to the connecting part 22 of the first bracket 2. As the door body 1 pushes, the first gear 521 rotates around its central shaft. The first ratchet 522 includes a fixed end and a movable end. Its fixed end is fixed to the second bracket 3 at the same time as the central shaft of the first gear 521. Its movable end rests in the tooth groove on the edge of the first gear 521 by its own weight to prevent the first gear 521 from rotating.

[0069] The first gear 521 is fixed to the connecting portion 22 of the first bracket 2, and can be fixed by screws, welding or other methods to ensure a firm connection between the first gear 521 and the connecting portion 22 of the first bracket 2. In this application, at least one protrusion 523 is provided on the side of the first gear 521 close to the connecting portion 22, and the connecting portion 22 is provided with at least one through hole 25 corresponding to the protrusion 523. The protrusion 523 is inserted into the through hole 25 to achieve a stable connection between the first gear 521 and the connecting portion 22 of the first bracket 2.

[0070] When the door 1 is pushed outward, the first gear 521 rotates accordingly. The angle of rotation corresponds to the required tilt angle of the drawer 100 door 1. After adjustment, the first ratchet 522 is used to fix the first gear 521 to prevent it from rotating back after adjustment, thereby ensuring the stability of the door 1 angle. It should be noted that this application uses the first ratchet 522 to fix the rotation angle of the first gear 521, which is suitable for the drawer 100 door 1 to open outward. If the drawer 100 door 1 is retracted and the first gear 521 needs to be rotated in the opposite direction, simply move the movable end of the first ratchet 522 away from the edge of the first gear 521, release the first ratchet 522 from fixing the first gear 521, adjust the tilt angle of the drawer 100 door 1 by pulling it outward, and then place the movable end of the first ratchet 522 on the edge of the first gear 521.

[0071] In the second embodiment, a left-right adjustment mechanism is also provided between the connecting part 22 and the second bracket 3. The left-right adjustment mechanism includes a first screw, which passes through the connecting part 22 and abuts against the first gear 521.

[0072] The connecting part 22 is provided with a thread that cooperates with the first screw. When the first screw rotates, the connecting part 22 is displaced in the left and right direction relative to the second bracket 3. The left and right direction is consistent with the length direction along the door body 1.

[0073] In the second embodiment, the left-right adjustment structure and the angle adjustment mechanism are simultaneously disposed between the connecting part 22 and the second bracket 3, providing left-right displacement for the drawer 100 door 1.

[0074] When the first screw passes through the connecting part 22 and abuts against the first gear 521, its thread forms a tight fit with the thread on the connecting part 22. When the first screw is rotated, the thread of the first screw and the thread of the connecting part 22 mesh with each other, pushing the connecting part 22 to move in the left and right direction. The connecting part 22 will be displaced in the left and right direction relative to the second bracket 3, easily realizing the fine adjustment of the left and right position of the drawer 100 door 1.

[0075] The left and right directions and distances of the displacement of drawer 100 door 1 depend on the rotation direction and number of rotations of the first screw.

[0076] The head of the first screw is designed with an easy-to-operate shape, such as an internal hex head or a Phillips head, so that it can be turned using the appropriate tool.

[0077] In the third embodiment, the angle adjustment mechanism is configured as a gear assembly 52, which includes a second gear 524 disposed between the second bracket 3 and the connecting part 22 and a third gear 525 meshing with the second gear 524; the second gear 524 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 22, and the third gear 525 passes through the second bracket 3 and is connected to the adjustment knob 53; rotating the adjustment knob 53 causes the third gear 525 to drive the second gear 524 to rotate, and drives the door body 1 to rotate around the center of the third gear 525.

[0078] Specifically, the second gear 524 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 22, and the central shaft of the third gear 525 passes through the second bracket 3 and is connected to the adjusting knob 53.

[0079] The second gear 524 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 22, and can be fixed by screws, welding or other methods to ensure a firm connection between the first gear 521 and the connecting part 22 of the first bracket 2. In this application, at least one protrusion 523 is provided on the side of the second gear 524 close to the connecting part 22, and the connecting part 22 is provided with at least one through hole 25 corresponding to the protrusion 523. The protrusion 523 is inserted into the through hole 25 to achieve a stable connection between the second gear 524 and the connecting part 22 of the first bracket 2.

[0080] The central shaft of the third gear 525 passes through the second bracket 3 and is connected to the adjustment knob 53. The third gear 525 is driven to rotate by rotating the adjustment knob 53. When the adjustment knob 53 is rotated, the third gear 525 rotates with the adjustment knob 53 and drives the second gear 524, the connecting part 22 connected to the second gear 524, and the door 1 to rotate through the meshing relationship. That is, the door 1 of the drawer 100 rotates around the center of the third gear 525 as the axis of rotation, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the pitch angle.

[0081] The outer edge of the adjustment knob 53 abuts against the second ratchet 54.

[0082] Specifically, the outer edge of the adjustment knob 53 is provided with a toothed groove. The second ratchet 54 is located on the same side wall of the second bracket 3 as the adjustment knob 53. The second ratchet 54 includes a fixed end and a movable end. The fixed end is fixed to the second bracket 3, and the movable end rests in the toothed groove on the outer edge of the adjustment knob 53 by its own weight. It is used to control the rotation direction of the third gear 525 and the drawer 100 door 1 driven by it, and to lock its position. The second ratchet 54 is designed to allow only unidirectional rotation, so the rotation of the adjustment knob 53 will be correspondingly restricted. If it is necessary to rotate the adjustment knob 53 in the opposite direction, the movable end of the second ratchet 54 needs to be lifted to release the adjustment knob 53. By setting the movable end of the second ratchet 54 to abut against the outer edge of the adjustment knob 53, the locking ability of the angle adjustment mechanism is enhanced, preventing the third gear 525 and the drawer 100 door 1 from rotating accidentally.

[0083] In the third embodiment, a left-right adjustment mechanism is also provided between the connecting part 22 and the second bracket 3. The left-right adjustment mechanism includes a second screw 63, which passes through the connecting part 22 and abuts against the third gear 525.

[0084] The connecting part 22 is provided with a thread that cooperates with the second screw 63. When the second screw 63 rotates, the connecting part 22 is displaced in the left and right direction relative to the second bracket 3. The left and right direction is parallel to the length direction of the door body 1.

[0085] The second screw 63 passes through the connecting part 22 and abuts against the side of the third gear 525. The connecting part 22 is provided with a threaded hole that mates with the second screw 63, ensuring that the second screw 63 can be securely installed and adjusted. When the second screw 63 is rotated, due to the meshing action between the threads of the second screw 63 and the connecting part 22, the connecting part 22 undergoes a slight displacement along the axial direction of the second screw 63. That is, the connecting part 22, along with the drawer 100 door 1 connected to it, undergoes a slight displacement in the left and right direction.

[0086] The left and right directions and displacement distance of drawer 100 door 1 depend on the rotation direction and number of rotations of the second screw 63.

[0087] The head of the second screw 63 is designed with an easy-to-operate shape, such as an internal hex head or a Phillips head, so that it can be turned using the appropriate tool.
