Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, and in particular to a hinge mounting assembly and a refrigeration device. Background Technology

[0002] In today's home decoration industry, consumers have increasingly higher demands for the overall aesthetics and harmony of interior spaces. Traditional refrigeration equipment, such as refrigerators and freezers, has a relatively simple design and is usually placed independently indoors. Their appearance is difficult to seamlessly integrate with the overall home decoration style, which to some extent disrupts the overall aesthetics of the interior space. To meet consumers' demands for home aesthetics, a trend is gradually emerging in current decoration styles: refrigeration equipment is often cleverly integrated with home furnishings. Specifically, by adding a connector to the original door of the refrigeration equipment, a panel of the same material as the cabinet door can be attached. In this way, from the overall appearance, the refrigeration equipment seems to "disappear" into the home environment, blending in with the surrounding cabinets and other furniture, presenting a very simple and unified visual effect, greatly enhancing the overall quality and aesthetics of the interior space.

[0003] However, in practical applications, to achieve this perfect integration of refrigeration equipment and home furnishings and obtain the desired aesthetic effect, the industry currently generally uses folding hinges as the connecting component. But this solution has many drawbacks. Because different models and specifications of refrigeration equipment, as well as the matching cabinet door panels, vary in size and shape, multiple hinge sizes are often required to ensure that the outer panels can be accurately and securely connected to the refrigeration equipment.

[0004] During installation, multiple different hinge mounting components often need to be replaced to accommodate different sized enclosures. This increases the complexity and difficulty of installation, prolongs installation time, and raises installation costs. Therefore, a simpler, more efficient, and universal beam assembly connection solution is needed. Utility Model Content

[0034] A hinge mounting assembly 10 according to an embodiment of this application, referencing... Figures 1 to 4The hinge mounting assembly 10 includes a first cover 100, a second cover 200 and an intermediate cover 300, the first cover 100 and the second cover 200 being adapted to be detachably connected to form a first combined length; the first cover 100, the intermediate cover 300 and the second cover 200 being adapted to be detachably connected to form a second combined length.

[0035] According to the hinge mounting assembly 10 of this application embodiment, by directly and detachably connecting the first cover 100 and the second cover 200, an installation structure with a first combined length can be formed. When a longer installation size is required, an intermediate cover 300 can be added between the first cover 100 and the second cover 200, and the three are connected in a detachable manner to form a second combined length with a larger size. In practical applications, the first combined length and the second combined length can be selected according to specific installation requirements. This flexible selection method can effectively meet the installation requirements of different types and specifications of cabinets 20, greatly improving the applicability of the hinge mounting assembly 10. Whether in the manufacturing process of refrigeration equipment or in subsequent maintenance and modification, a suitable hinge 800 can be installed quickly and conveniently according to the actual situation without large-scale modifications to the hinge mounting assembly 10.

[0036] According to one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 5 to 10 The first cover 100 is provided with at least one of a buckle structure 400 and a slot structure 500, and the second cover 200 is provided with at least one of a buckle structure 400 and a slot structure 500 corresponding to the first cover 100; one of the two connecting ends of the intermediate cover 300 is provided with a buckle structure 400 and the other is provided with a slot structure 500; the buckle structure 400 is detachably connected to the slot structure 500.

[0037] The first cover 100 and the second cover 200 can be detachably connected through the cooperation of buckles and slots.

[0038] It should be noted that the two connecting ends of the intermediate cover 300 are arranged opposite each other, with one connecting end located closer to the first cover 100 and the other closer to the second cover 200. One connecting end of the intermediate cover 300 is equipped with a snap-fit ​​structure 400, and the other connecting end is equipped with a slot structure 500, for corresponding connection with the first cover 100 and the second cover 200, respectively. Specifically, the connecting end closer to the first cover 100 has a snap-fit ​​structure 400 or a slot structure 500, while the connecting end closer to the second cover 200 has a different connecting structure, thereby ensuring that the intermediate cover 300 can be flexibly inserted between the first cover 100 and the second cover 200, achieving length extension.

[0039] Through the interlocking of the snap-fit ​​structure 400 and the slot structure 500, the various covers can be quickly assembled and disassembled without the need for additional tools, which not only improves assembly efficiency but also facilitates subsequent maintenance or adjustment.

[0040] According to one embodiment of this application, the slot structure 500 includes a snap-fit ​​groove 510, a first limiting groove 520, and a second limiting groove 530, and the snap-fit ​​structure 400 includes a corresponding snap-fit ​​member 410, a first limiting member 420, and a second limiting member 430; the engagement between the snap-fit ​​groove 510 and the snap-fit ​​member 410 is used to limit vertical displacement; the engagement between the first limiting groove 520 and the first limiting member 420 is used to limit horizontal displacement; the engagement between the second limiting groove 530 and the second limiting member 430 is used to limit horizontal displacement; wherein the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction intersect.

[0041] The slot structure 500 includes a snap-fit ​​groove 510, a first limiting groove 520, and a second limiting groove 530. Correspondingly, the snap-fit ​​structure 400 is provided with a snap-fit ​​component 410, a first limiting component 420, and a second limiting component 430. When the snap-fit ​​structure 400 and the slot structure 500 are inserted and fitted together, the three components work together to form multi-directional constraints, ensuring a stable and reliable connection.

[0042] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​groove 510 and the snap-fit ​​component 410 engage with each other, primarily to limit the vertical displacement of any two pairs of structures paired between the first cover 100, the intermediate cover 300, and the second cover 200, preventing loosening or detachment. The first limiting groove 520 engages with the first limiting component 420 to limit the movement of any two pairs of structures paired between the first cover 100, the intermediate cover 300, and the second cover 200 in the first horizontal direction (e.g., transverse); the second limiting groove 530 engages with the second limiting component 430 to limit the movement of any two pairs of structures paired between the first cover 100, the intermediate cover 300, and the second cover 200 in the second horizontal direction (e.g., longitudinal). The first and second horizontal directions intersect, forming a bidirectional constraint within the plane, effectively suppressing movement in all directions within the horizontal plane.

[0043] The aforementioned snap-fit ​​structure 400 and slot structure 500 form a comprehensive limit in three spatial directions, significantly improving the overall rigidity and positioning accuracy of the connection, and ensuring that the hinge mounting assembly 10 maintains extremely high stability during use.

[0044] According to one embodiment of this application, the snap-fit ​​groove 510 is a T-shaped snap-fit ​​groove, and the snap-fit ​​component 410 is a T-shaped snap.

[0045] According to one embodiment of this application, the first limiting groove 520 is an L-shaped limiting groove, and the first limiting member 420 is an L-shaped limiting member.

[0046] According to one embodiment of this application, the second limiting groove 530 is a strip-shaped limiting groove, and the second limiting member 430 is a strip-shaped limiting member.

[0047] In one embodiment, there are multiple snap-fit ​​grooves 510 and snap-fit ​​parts 410, and the multiple snap-fit ​​grooves 510 are arranged along a first horizontal direction.

[0048] In one embodiment, there are two first limiting grooves 520 and first limiting members 420, and the first limiting grooves 520 or the first limiting members 420 are provided on both sides of the first cover 100 along the first horizontal direction.

[0049] In one embodiment, the number of the second limiting groove 530 and the second limiting member 430 is one, and the second limiting groove 530 is disposed on the side of the first limiting groove 520 along the second horizontal direction.

[0050] According to one embodiment of this application, a tank chain 900 is included. The first cover 100 and the second cover 200 are both provided with mounting holes 600 for engaging the tank chain 900. The tank chain 900 is used for the passage of cables.

[0051] It should be noted that the wiring connects the control element of the hinge 800 and the hinge mounting assembly 10, or the wiring connects the hinge 800 and the controller of the refrigeration equipment.

[0052] According to one embodiment of this application, the edge of the mounting hole 600 is provided with a guide slope 610 to guide the tank chain 900 into the mounting hole 600.

[0053] According to one embodiment of this application, the intermediate cover 300 is configured as a series of components with different lengths, and the first cover 100 and the second cover 200 can be detachably connected to either intermediate cover 300 to form different second combined lengths.

[0054] In practical applications, for example, when it is necessary to install the hinge 800 onto a new model of refrigeration housing 20, and the installation spacing of the hinge 800 of the housing 20 is different from the existing specifications, the operator does not need to customize a completely new installation component. He only needs to select an intermediate cover 300 with a matching length from the existing series and assemble it with the first and second covers 200 to quickly form a new second combination length.

[0055] It is understandable that selecting an intermediate cover 300 of matching length from the existing series and assembling it with the first and second covers 200 is to ensure that the length of all covers (first cover 100, intermediate cover 300 and second cover 200) matches the width of the refrigeration equipment housing after they are connected, which facilitates the installation of hinges.

[0056] According to one embodiment of this application, there are several intermediate covers 300, and the first cover 100, the several intermediate covers 300, and the second cover 200 are adapted to be detachably connected to form different second combined lengths. For example, when installing the hinge 800 of a large commercial refrigerator, its installation span is large, and a single intermediate cover 300 may not meet the length requirements. In this case, the operator can easily combine two or three standard-length intermediate covers 300 between the first cover 100 and the second cover 200, like "building blocks," to create the required extended length.

[0057] Understandably, connecting two or three standard-length intermediate covers 300 between the first cover 100 and the second cover 200, like "building blocks," is to ensure that the length of all covers (the first cover 100, several intermediate covers 300, and the second cover 200) matches the width of the refrigeration equipment housing, facilitating the installation of hinges.

[0058] According to one embodiment of this application, the first cover 100 and the second cover 200 are adapted to be connected to the housing 20 of the refrigeration equipment. A first mounting cavity 101 is formed between the housing 20 and the first cover 100, and a second mounting cavity 201 is formed between the housing 20 and the second cover 200. Both the first mounting cavity 101 and the second mounting cavity 201 are adapted to install a mounting member 700, which is used to install a hinge 800.

[0059] In some embodiments, at least one of the first cover 100 and the box 20 is provided with a universal connection structure, the mounting member 700 has several different size models, each mounting member 700 is provided with a mating structure adapted to the connection structure, and the mounting member 700 is detachably connected to the connection structure through the mating structure.

[0060] Similarly, at least one of the second cover 200 and the box 20 is provided with a universal connection structure. The mounting part 700 has several different sizes and models. Each mounting part 700 is provided with a mating structure that is adapted to the connection structure. The mounting part 700 is detachably connected to the connection structure through the mating structure.

[0061] It should be noted that the first mounting cavity 101 is connected to the second mounting cavity 201. The intermediate cover 300 is provided with a third mounting cavity. When the intermediate cover 300 connects the first cover 100 and the second cover 200, both the first mounting cavity 101 and the second mounting cavity 201 are connected to the third mounting cavity. The third mounting cavity is used to install electronic components (such as a humidity sensor). The hinge installed in the first mounting cavity 101 and the hinge installed in the second mounting cavity 201 can be connected to the electronic components in the third mounting cavity through wiring.

[0062] The refrigeration device according to an embodiment of this application includes: a housing 20 and the hinge mounting assembly 10 described above, the hinge mounting assembly 10 being connected to the housing 20.

[0063] The hinge mounting assembly 10 is securely connected to the predetermined installation position of the housing 20. Because the hinge mounting assembly 10 adopts a modular design with variable combination length, the same hinge 800 mounting scheme can be used to flexibly adapt to housing 20 structures of different volumes and models during the manufacturing process, significantly enhancing the versatility of the product design. Furthermore, in subsequent maintenance or upgrades, if the hinge 800 needs to be adjusted or replaced, there is no need to modify the structure of the housing 20; only the modular combination of the hinge mounting assembly 10 needs to be adjusted, greatly improving the convenience and economy of maintenance.

[0064] It should be noted that the refrigeration equipment involved in this application has a wide range of applications, and can be different types of equipment such as refrigerators, freezers or refrigerated display cases. This application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0065] Refrigerators, as commonly used refrigeration equipment in households, are mainly used for food storage and preservation. Their complex internal structure places high demands on the stability and load-bearing capacity of the central beam. Freezers, typically used in commercial settings or homes for the freezing and preservation of large quantities of items, are larger in size and bear relatively heavy loads during operation, thus requiring strict standards for the strength and durability of the central beam. Refrigerated display cases are mainly used in shopping malls and supermarkets to display goods requiring low-temperature preservation, such as beverages and fresh food. They not only need excellent refrigeration performance but also require a reasonable structural design to display the goods. The hinge mounting assembly 10 of this application can also meet their structural stability requirements. Regardless of the type of refrigeration equipment, the hinge mounting assembly 10 of this application can provide effective structural support and connection solutions according to its specific characteristics and requirements, ensuring that the refrigeration equipment can perform optimally in different usage scenarios.

[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
