Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator structure technology, and in particular to a connection structure for refrigerator drawer guide rails. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the assembly and fixation of the connecting rod and the sliding mechanisms on both sides on the metal guide rail generally relies on the fastening connection of multiple sets of screws. During the assembly process, the operator needs to tighten the screws at each connection point one by one. Not only is a large number of screws required, but due to the lack of an effective pre-positioning structure, the operator must manually guide the slide rail and connecting rod to complete the precise alignment of the screw holes before the screws can be installed and tightened. This traditional assembly method makes the assembly process redundant and complicated, prolongs the manual operation time, and results in low assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a connection structure for refrigerator drawer slides, which has the advantage of efficient installation, thus overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A connection structure for a refrigerator drawer slide includes a slide rail and a connecting rod, characterized in that: it further includes a fixing component; the slide rail includes a first positioning hole, a second positioning hole, and a first protrusion, and the end of the slide rail is provided with a first bent portion; the fixing component includes a second protrusion, a positioning portion, a first cavity, a hook, and a protruding block;

[0006] The connecting rod has a second bend at its end, and the second bend has a first positioning post, which is adapted to the positioning part; the hook engages with the snap-fit ​​part, and the second protrusion is adapted to the first positioning hole.

[0007] The positioning part includes a positioning groove and a second positioning post. The second positioning post protrudes from the bottom surface of the positioning groove. The outer peripheral wall of the second positioning post is adapted to fit the second positioning hole. A positioning cavity is formed inside the second positioning post. The cavity wall is adapted to fit the outer peripheral wall of the first positioning post.

[0008] The connecting rod is provided with a groove, and the snap-fit ​​part is provided at the end of the groove. The snap-fit ​​part includes a cantilever and a snap-fit ​​block. There is a gap between the free end of the cantilever and the snap-fit ​​block. The snap hook extends into the gap and snaps onto the snap-fit ​​block.

[0009] The protruding block abuts against the end of the connecting rod.

[0010] The positioning part has an arc-shaped surface, which is used to abut against the refrigerator sliding mechanism.

[0011] The back of the fastener is provided with a second recess and a third recess.

[0012] The slide rail includes a first flange and a second flange, and a fixing plate is provided at the other end of the slide rail, with mounting holes provided on the fixing plate.

[0013] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] To ensure efficient installation of the connecting rod, this invention pre-fixes the connecting rod and the two side fixing components during installation by using the second protrusion and the first positioning hole, as well as the first positioning post and the positioning part. Then, the connecting rod is connected by the snap-fit ​​of the hook and the snap-fit ​​part, achieving efficient installation of the guide rail.
