Description

Embedded refrigeration equipment

[0001] This application is based on the Chinese patent application with application number CN202311110159.4 and application date August 30, 2023, and claims the priority of the Chinese patent application. The entire content of the above patent application is hereby introduced into this application as a reference. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of refrigeration equipment manufacturing, and in particular to an embedded refrigeration equipment. Background Art

[0003] Installing a built-in refrigerator in a cabinet has many advantages. Not only does it enhance the aesthetics of your home, it also provides added practical functionality. First, installing a built-in refrigerator in a cabinet creates a more integrated home style. Compared to placing the refrigerator in a separate area, integrating it into the cabinet creates a more harmonious overall design and a more unified home style. Second, installing a built-in refrigerator in a cabinet increases storage space. If you have enough space, you can add more drawers and dividers to your cabinet to increase storage space. At the same time, the space on the refrigerator door can also be used for storage.

[0004] Furthermore, built-in refrigerators can be installed in cabinets to save space. If you place your refrigerator in the kitchen or dining room, you might need to leave some space for people to move around. However, recessing the refrigerator into the cabinet frees up this space, allowing for greater flexibility in your home layout. Finally, built-in refrigerators can also improve energy efficiency. Because this installation method conceals the refrigerator within the cabinet, it reduces the impact of external temperature and light, helping to maintain internal temperature and reducing energy consumption.

[0005] When installing a refrigerator in a storage cavity within a cabinet, if the refrigerator's position shifts in the front-to-back direction, the cabinet door will be unable to close the storage cavity. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a stopper on the bottom wall of the storage cavity, and then restrict the refrigerator's front support legs to the stopper grooves on the stopper to define the refrigerator's position in the front-to-back direction. When installing the stopper, to determine the installation position of the stopper in the left-to-right direction, one end of the stopper is typically placed against the left or right wall of the storage cavity. However, when installed in this manner, the lower ends of the left and right side walls of the refrigerator body will interfere with the positioning member when the refrigerator is installed in the storage cavity.

[0006] The reference to any prior art in the specification is not an acknowledgement or suggestion that the prior art forms part of the common general knowledge in any jurisdiction, or that it could reasonably be expected that the person skilled in the art would understand, consider relevant and / or combine with other prior art.

[0030] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0032] In this application, unless otherwise specified, directional words such as "upper", "lower", "top" and "bottom" are usually used with reference to the directions shown in the drawings, or with reference to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above directional words are not used to limit this application.

[0033] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that the limiting member installed on the bottom wall of the cabinet installation cavity for limiting the front support legs of the refrigerator will interfere with the left and right side walls of the refrigerator body when it abuts against the two lateral walls of the installation cavity, the present application provides an embedded refrigeration device.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1-7, an embedded refrigeration device provided in one embodiment of the present application includes a cabinet 1, a refrigerator and a plurality of limit members 2. The cabinet 1 has a accommodating cavity 11, and the refrigerator is installed in the accommodating cavity 11. The refrigerator has two front supporting legs 3 located at the bottom thereof, and the two front supporting legs 3 are usually arranged at intervals in the left and right directions.

[0035] The limiting member 2 is arranged on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and the limiting member 2 has a limiting groove 21 that can accommodate the front supporting leg 3. In this way, after the limiting member 2 is installed on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, the front supporting leg 3 can be installed in the limiting groove 21.

[0036] The limiting member 2 includes a main body portion 22 and a first auxiliary portion 23 connected along the width direction of the cabinet 1 . The main body portion 22 and the first auxiliary portion 23 can be separated under the action of an external force.

[0037] The limiting groove 21 includes a first portion that is at least partially located on the main body 22 , and the front supporting leg 3 is at least partially located in the first portion, so that the first portion can limit the front supporting leg 3 in the front and rear directions.

[0038] When the position limiting member is installed on the cabinet 1, the side edge of the first auxiliary portion 23 away from the main body portion 22 abuts against the side wall of the accommodating cavity, thereby limiting the position of the position limiting member 2 during installation.

[0039] When the user installs the limiter 2 on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, the first auxiliary portion 23 is away from the side edge of the main portion 22 and abuts against the side wall of the accommodating cavity 11, thereby limiting the horizontal position of the limiter 2 relative to the cabinet 1. Then, the front support leg 3 is installed in the limiting groove 21, and the limiting groove 21 can limit the position of the front support leg 3 in the front and rear directions. Finally, the first auxiliary portion 23 can be separated from the main portion 22 by external force, thereby avoiding interference between the lower ends of the left and right side walls of the refrigerator body 4 and the limiter 2.

[0040] Preferably, as shown in Figures 4 and 6, the first auxiliary portion 23 is provided with a first handle 231. The first handle 231 includes a first connecting portion 2311 extending from the upper surface of the first auxiliary portion 23 in a direction away from the first auxiliary portion 23, and a bent portion 2312 formed on one end of the first connecting portion 2311 away from the first auxiliary portion 23. When a user applies force to the bent portion 2312, the first auxiliary portion 23 can be easily detached from the main body 22.

[0041] Furthermore, the limiting member 2 also includes a second auxiliary part 24 connected to the front side of the main body 22 and the first auxiliary part 23. The second auxiliary part 24 has a limiting part 241 that is bent downward to cooperate with the front wall of the cabinet 1. The second auxiliary part 24 can be separated from the main body 22 and the first auxiliary part 23 connected thereto under the action of external force.

[0042] With this arrangement, the limiting portion 241 cooperates with the front wall of the cabinet 1 to limit the front-to-back position of the limiting member 2 on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11 , thereby ensuring that the front supporting leg 3 is installed inside the limiting groove 21 .

[0043] It should be noted that the second auxiliary part 24 can be separated from the main body part 22 and the first auxiliary part 23 connected thereto under the action of external force, thereby ensuring that after the limit member 2 is installed on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, the second auxiliary part 24 can be removed by external force, thereby avoiding the second auxiliary part 24 affecting the sealing of the cabinet door during the closing process of the cabinet door 1.

[0044] In some embodiments, the second auxiliary portion 24 is connected to the front side of the main portion 22 or the front side of the first auxiliary portion 23. The second auxiliary portion 24 has a limiting portion 241 that is bent downward to cooperate with the front wall of the cabinet 1. The limiting portion 241 is bent downward to cooperate with the front wall of the cabinet 1. The second auxiliary portion 24 can be separated from the main portion 22 or the first auxiliary portion 23 connected thereto under the action of external force.

[0045] Furthermore, a second handle 2411 is provided on the second auxiliary portion 24 . The second handle 2411 extends from the front side of the limiting portion 241 in a direction away from the limiting portion 241 .

[0046] With this arrangement, when the user applies force to the second handle 2411 , the user can conveniently apply external force to the second auxiliary portion 24 , thereby detaching the second auxiliary portion 24 .

[0047] Referring to Figure 4, the second auxiliary part 24 includes a second connecting part 242 extending forward from the front side of the main body part 22 and / or the first auxiliary part 23 along the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and the limiting part 241 is configured as a flange formed downward from the front end of the second connecting part 242, and the flange abuts against the front wall of the cabinet 1.

[0048] When configured in this manner, a stable abutment effect can be achieved when the flange abuts against the front wall 1 of the cabinet 1 , thereby better limiting the position of the positioning member 2 in the front-to-back direction.

[0049] Preferably, in the above embodiments, the second auxiliary portion 24 is connected to the main portion 22 and / or the first auxiliary portion 23 via a plurality of connecting bridges 243. The connecting bridges 243 are usually made of the same material as the second auxiliary portion 24 and the main portion 22.

[0050] The connecting bridge 243 is easy to break, and such a configuration can facilitate the separation of the second auxiliary portion 24 from the main portion 22 and / or the first auxiliary portion 23 .

[0051] Furthermore, the refrigerator includes a box body 4 and a plurality of supporting legs, wherein the plurality of supporting legs are threadedly connected to the bottom of the box body 4 and can pivot relative to the box body 4 .

[0052] With such arrangement, the position of the supporting feet relative to the box body 4 in the vertical direction can be adjusted by pivoting the supporting feet, so that the supporting feet can better support the box body 4 and avoid shaking of the box body 4 due to uneven ground.

[0053] It should be noted that the multiple supporting feet include two front supporting feet 3 close to the front side of the box body 4 and at least two rear supporting feet close to the rear side of the box body 4. At least two of the rear supporting feet are also arranged at intervals along the left and right directions to ensure stability when supporting the box body 4.

[0054] Specifically, as shown in Figure 7 , the front support leg 3 includes a bolt 31 connected to the bottom of the box body 4 and a support pad 32 fixedly connected to the end of the bolt 31 away from the box body 4. The bolt 31 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the box body 4, and the vertical height of the front support leg 3 can be adjusted during the pivoting process of the bolt 31.

[0055] 7 , preferably, a slot 321 is provided on the side wall of the support pad 32. In this manner, when a rigid pry bar or other instrument is inserted into the slot 321, the support pad 32 can be rotated by levering the bolt 31 relative to the bottom of the box body 4.

[0056] Preferably, referring to FIG6 , in the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention, the inner wall 211 of the limiting groove 21 extends from bottom to top and gradually slopes toward the outside of the limiting groove 21. With this arrangement, the inner wall 211 has a certain slope, and when the front supporting foot 3 is installed in the installation groove 21, the inner wall 211 can play a good guiding role.

[0057] In summary, the embedded refrigeration device of the present application achieves the following technical effects:

[0058] When the limiting member 2 is installed on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, the first auxiliary portion 23 is away from the side edge of the main portion 22 and abuts against the side wall of the accommodating cavity 11, thereby limiting the horizontal position of the limiting member 2 relative to the cabinet 1. The front supporting foot 3 is installed in the limiting groove 21, and the limiting groove 21 can limit the position of the front supporting foot 3 in the front and rear directions. The first auxiliary portion 23 can be separated from the main portion 22 by external force, thereby avoiding interference between the left and right side walls of the refrigerator body 4 and the limiting member 2.
