[0053] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0054] It should be understood that the terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific example embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "one", "an" and "said" as used herein may also be meant to include plural forms. The terms "comprise", "include", "contain" and "have" are inclusive and therefore specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements and / or parts, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, parts, and / or combinations thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not to be construed as necessarily requiring them to be performed in the specific order described or illustrated, unless the order of execution is clearly indicated. It should also be understood that additional or alternative steps may be used.

[0055] Although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be used in the text to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms can only be used to distinguish an element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first", "second" and other numerical terms do not imply order or sequence when used in the text. Therefore, the first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below can be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teaching of the example embodiments.

[0056] For ease of description, spatially relative terms may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figures, such as "inside," "outside," "inside," "outside," "below," "beneath," "above," and the like. Such spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is flipped, an element described as "below" or "below" another element or feature would then be oriented as "above" or "above" another element or feature. Thus, the example term "below" can include both above and below orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0057] As shown in Figures 1 to 17, according to the implementation mode of the present application, the present application proposes a refrigeration device, which includes an electrical body and a connecting device. The electrical body includes a box body and a door body. The box body is provided with a first accommodating cavity, the first accommodating cavity has a first opening, and the door body 100 is arranged at the first opening in an openable and closable manner; the connecting device includes a supporting assembly and an adjusting assembly, the supporting assembly has a first wall 12, and the first wall 12 is parallel to the width direction of the door body 100. The adjusting assembly is connected to the supporting assembly in a manner that can be moved along the first wall 12. One of the supporting assembly and the adjusting assembly is connected to the side of the door body 100 away from the box body, and the other is connected to the door panel 200. Along the height direction of the door body 100, the adjusting assembly can adjust the relative position between the door body 100 and the door panel 200.

[0058] It is understood that the appliance body can be the main body of an appliance such as a refrigerator, the door panel 200 can be the door panel of a cabinet associated with the refrigeration equipment, and the door body 100 can be the refrigerator door of the refrigerator. The door body 100 is rotatably disposed at the first opening to achieve an opening and closing effect. The door panel 200 can be configured in the same or similar style as the cabinet. The door panel 200 is connected to the door body 100 via a connecting device and is disposed on the outside of the door body 100, enabling the door panel 200 and the door body 100 to open and close synchronously, and the overall appearance is coordinated and neat.

[0059] Specifically, the function of the connecting device is to connect the door panel 200 with the door body 100. The connection principle of the connecting device is that one end of the first extension portion 22 is placed on the door panel 200 or the door body 100. At this time, it is only necessary to provide the door panel 200 or the door body 100 with a first wall 12 extending along the width direction of the door body 100 (direction A in Figure 1). The width direction means that after the refrigeration equipment is assembled, when the user faces the door body of the refrigeration equipment, the width direction is consistent or basically consistent with the left and right direction of the user. The first extension portion 22 can abut against the first wall 12. Taking the first mounting portion 21 as an example of being installed on the door panel 200, the first mounting portion 21 can be fixed by passing bolts through the multiple through holes 24 on the first mounting portion 21 and then screwed into the mounting holes 201 on the door panel 200. A support component extending along the width direction of the door body 100, such as a connecting groove 11, can be provided on the door body 100. Along the height direction of the door body 100 (direction B in Figure 3), the bottom wall of the connecting groove 11 is the first wall 12. The first adjusting member 20 is slidably inserted into the connecting groove 11 from the side of the door body 100. The end of the first extension portion 22 at the bottom end of the first mounting portion 21 facing away from the first mounting portion 21 abuts against the first wall 12. The door panel 200 is suspended on the door body 100 via a connecting device to achieve the connection between the two. The first mounting portion 21 can also be installed on the door body 100. The connecting groove 11 is provided on the door panel 200, and the bottom wall of the connecting groove 11 is the first wall 12. The first adjusting member 20 is slidably inserted into the connecting groove 11 from the side of the door panel 200. The end of the first extension portion 22 at the top end of the first mounting portion 21 facing away from the first mounting portion 21 abuts against the first wall 12. The door panel 200 is suspended on the door body 100 via a connecting device to achieve the connection between the two. The connecting groove 11 can also be replaced by a protrusion provided on the door body 100 or the door panel 200 and extending along the width direction of the door body 100, and the top surface of the protrusion is the first wall surface 12, which can also achieve the effect of a hanging connection between the door body 100 and the door panel 200. The first mounting portion 21 can be a circular or polygonal structure, and the first mounting portion 21 can be fixed to the door body 100 or the door panel 200 by screw connection or snap 25. The first extension portion 22 can be a semicircular, arc-shaped or trapezoidal structure, and can be welded to the first mounting portion 21 or integrally formed. The first extension portion 22 can also be a structure of threaded columns of different lengths, and the effect of adjustable support length can be achieved by screwing the threaded column to the first mounting portion 21.

[0060] The refrigeration device of the present application connects the appliance body to the door panel 200 via a connecting device, installs a support assembly on one of the door body 100 or the door panel 200, and installs an adjustment assembly on the other. The door panel 200 is installed on the door body 100 by connecting the adjustment assembly to the support assembly. Adjusting the contact position of the first adjustment member 20 on the first wall 12 can also adjust the lateral relative position between the door body 100 and the door panel 200. By operating the adjustment assembly, the relative height between the door body 100 and the door panel 200 can also be adjusted. The refrigeration device of the present application is easy to install, has a fine adjustment degree, is easy to connect between the door body 100 and the door panel 200, and can also easily adjust the relative position between the door body and the door panel.

[0061] Referring to Figures 7 to 12, in some embodiments of the present application, the first mounting portion 21 is a circular structure, such as a cylindrical or disc-shaped structure. A plurality of through holes 24 may be provided on the first mounting portion 21 for fixing bolts, and hollow holes 26 may also be provided to reduce weight and improve structural strength. A plurality of first extensions 22 extend outwardly along the radial direction of the first mounting portion 21, and the plurality of first extensions 22 have different extension lengths. The cross-section of the first mounting portion 21 may be circular, and is used to be connected to the door body 100 in a manner that can rotate around a first axis. The first axis may be the axis of a circle formed by the line connecting the centers of the plurality of through holes 24, and the first mounting portion 21 has a certain thickness. A plurality of through holes may be provided on the first mounting portion 21 for inserting screws to fix it to the door body 100 or the door panel 200. The first extension portions 22 are arranged at circumferential intervals along the first mounting portion 21. The first extension portions 22 can be semicircular, arc-shaped, trapezoidal or other structures. Multiple first extension portions 22 are arranged with different lengths along the radial direction of the first mounting portion 21, so that by rotating the first adjusting member 20, the first extension portions 22 of different lengths can be abutted against the first wall 12 on the door body 100 or the door panel 200 to adjust the relative height between the door body 100 and the door panel 200.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 10 , in some embodiments of the present application, the extension lengths of the plurality of first extension portions 22 (A in FIG. 11 ) increase sequentially along the circumferential direction of the first mounting portion 21. This forms a gradually increasing extension structure circumferentially along the first mounting portion 21. By rotating the first adjustment member 20, first extension portions 22 of varying lengths can be brought into contact with the first wall surface 12 of the door body 100 or door panel 200 to adjust the relative height between the door body 100 and the door panel 200. Furthermore, the extension lengths of the plurality of first extension portions 22 gradually increase, avoiding the situation where a shorter first extension portion 22 is located between two longer first extension portions 22, thereby enabling all first extension portions 22 to function as an adjustment mechanism.

[0063] Referring to Figures 1 and 9, in some embodiments of the present application, the connecting device includes at least two first adjusting members 20, and at least two first adjusting members 20 have first extension portions 22 with different extension lengths (A in Figure 11). By providing multiple first adjusting members 20 with different adjustment ranges, the connecting device can adapt to different adjustment situations. When the adjustment range of a single first adjusting member 20 is insufficient, multiple first adjusting members 20 can be designed and selected for use to provide a larger adjustment range. Multiple first extension portions 22 can be provided in increments of 0.2 mm. The extension lengths of the first extension portions 22 of each first adjusting member 20 are staggered.

[0064] Referring to Figures 1 and 9 , in some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of first extensions 22 are arranged in pairs. Within any pair of first extensions 22, the two first extensions 22 are positioned relative to each other, and the distance between one end of the first extension 22 facing away from the first mounting portion 21 and the other end of the first extension 22 facing away from the first mounting portion 21 is a predetermined spacing value (indicated by B in Figure 10 ), i.e., the maximum straight-line distance between the contact position of one first extension 22 with the first wall 12 and the contact position of the other first extension 22 with the first wall 12. The distance between any two first extensions 22 arranged relative to each other is a fixed value. This is primarily because the width of the connecting groove 11 is a fixed value. This fixed value ensures that no matter which first extension 22 of the first adjusting member 20 is supported by the connecting groove 11, the clearance between the first extension 22 and the connecting groove 11 remains constant, thereby improving assembly reliability. See Figure 6 for an example: K is the width of the connecting groove 11. Two identical first adjusting members 20 are used in the figure. One first adjusting member 20 is supported by the connecting groove 11 with a scale of 0, and the other first adjusting member 20 is supported by the connecting groove 11 with a scale of 3. The center line of the first adjusting member 20 has been tilted to achieve a change in the height of the object connected to it relative to the connecting groove 11 at both ends. However, the top gap a of the two first adjusting members 20 is the same due to the control of the B value.

[0065] Referring to Figure 12 , C represents the thickness of the first adjusting member 20, and C1 represents the thickness of the first adjusting member 20 plus the adjustment shim. This structure allows for the design of a small number of slides and shims to create a variety of slides with varying thicknesses. While it is possible to design the first adjusting member 20 so that different thicknesses (e.g., the overall thickness of the first adjusting member 20, C and C1) have the same scale, this approach is less economical.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 12 , in some embodiments of the present application, the length of the first extension portion 22 along the axial direction of the first mounting portion 21 is less than the length of the first mounting portion 21. A snap-fit ​​groove is formed between the first extension portion 22 and the door panel 200 or the door body 100. The snap-fit ​​groove can cooperate with the connecting groove 11. When the connecting groove 11 has a stopper extending inwardly, the stopper can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove to prevent the connecting device from falling out of the connecting groove 11, thereby improving the reliability of the connection.

[0067] Referring to Figures 12 to 14, in some embodiments of the present application, the connecting device is further provided with a fixing assembly, which can fix the first adjusting member 20 to the first entity. Specifically, the fixing assembly can connect the first adjusting member 20 to the first entity in a detachable manner. The fixing assembly can be a screw assembly, which is screwed through a through hole on the first adjusting member 20 to connect with the door body 100 or the door panel 200 to achieve fixation of the connecting device. The fixing assembly can also be a buckle 25 provided on the first adjusting member 20 and a base 23 provided on the door body 100 or the door panel 200. The buckle 25 can be engaged with the base 23 to achieve fixation, thereby achieving fixation between the first adjusting member 20 and the door body 100 or the door panel 200. A boss 231 may be provided on the base 23, and a plurality of bolt holes may be provided on the base 23 for connecting to the door body 100 or the door panel 200 through bolts. The boss 231 may be provided with a limiting portion 232, which protrudes from the outer side surface of the boss 231 and extends along the axial direction of the boss 231. As a match, a limiting groove 241 may be provided on the first through hole 24 of the first adjusting member 20. When the first adjusting member 20 is sleeved on the boss 231, the limiting groove 241 cooperates with the limiting portion 232 to limit the rotation of the first adjusting member 20.

[0068] The thickness adjustment of the first adjusting member 20 can also be considered to be in the form of a thread. After rotating according to the scale of the first extension part 22, there is a corresponding locking mechanism to realize the adjustment of the first adjusting member 20 through the thread, eliminating the gasket. At the same time, the installation limit structure is retained and has a certain elasticity, so that the limit is pressed down when rotating to the non-gear position. When rotating to the gear position, the limit rib rebounds and falls into the limit groove to realize precise positioning of the rotation angle.

[0069] 15 and 16 , the connecting device includes a plurality of second adjusting members 30, and the second adjusting members 30 include a second mounting portion 31 and a second extension portion 32. The second mounting portion 31 can be connected to the first entity in a detachable manner by snapping or bolts, etc., and the second extension portion 32 is arranged at one end in the length direction of the second mounting portion 31. The end of the second extension portion 32 away from the second mounting portion 31 abuts against the second entity when the door panel 200 and the door body 100 are installed. Along the length direction of the second mounting portion 31 (direction C in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 ), the lengths of the second extension portions 32 of the plurality of second adjusting plates are different; the first entity is the door body 100 of a home appliance and the second entity is the door panel 200 of furniture, or the first entity is the door panel 200 of furniture and the second entity is the door body 100 of a home appliance.

[0070] It is understandable that the connecting device may have a set of second adjustment members 30 with different adjustment specifications, the second mounting portion 31 may be a rectangular sheet structure, the second extension portion 32 may be connected to the door body 100 or the door panel 200 by screws or snap connections, the second extension portion 32 may be a rectangular or waist-shaped structure, the second extension portion 32 may be integrally formed with the second mounting portion 31, the second extension portion 32 may be provided at one end of the second mounting portion 31, or a plurality of second extension portions 32 may be provided on the second mounting portion 31, for example, a second extension portion 32 may be provided at each of the upper and lower ends of the second mounting portion 31. The lengths of the second extension portions 32 of each second adjustment member 30 are different, so that when connecting the door panel 200 and the door body 100, a second extension portion 32 of an appropriate length may be selected according to the assembly deviation to correct the assembly deviation.

[0071] By installing a second adjusting member 30 on the door body 100 of a home appliance or the door panel 200 of furniture, the length of the second extension portion 32 of each second adjusting member 30 is different. When installing the door body 100 and the door panel 200, a second adjusting member 30 of an appropriate length is selected according to the deviation amount of the door body 100 and the door panel 200 during pre-assembly, thereby adjusting the relative height between the door body 100 and the door panel 200. Adjusting the abutting position of the first adjusting member 20 on the second entity can also adjust the lateral relative position between the door body 100 and the cabinet body. The connecting device of the present application can conveniently connect the door body 100 and the cabinet door, and can also conveniently adjust the relative position between the door body 100 and the door panel 200.

[0072] Referring to Figures 15 and 16, in some embodiments of the present application, the connecting device also includes a storage member, and multiple second adjustment members 30 can be connected to the storage member in a detachable manner by snapping or bolts. To avoid the loss of the second adjustment member 30, the second adjustment member 30 can be installed on the storage member. The storage member can be a long strip structure or a rectangular structure, and the second adjustment member 30 can be fixed to the connecting member by snapping or bolts for storage.

[0073] The storage member may include a plurality of connecting portions 33 connected in sequence and a dividing portion 34 disposed between two adjacent connecting portions 33. The second adjusting member 30 is mounted on the connecting portions 33 in a one-to-one correspondence. The plurality of connecting portions 33 are connected in sequence to form a long strip structure. The dividing portion 34 is disposed between adjacent connecting portions 33. When in use, the second adjusting member 30 can be broken off at the dividing portion 34, and the second adjusting member 30 of a suitable length can be selected to adjust the relative height between the door body 100 and the door panel 200.

[0074] Referring to Figure 17, the connecting device includes a third mounting portion 40 and multiple third extension portions 41. The third mounting portion 40 can be detachably mounted on the first entity by snapping or bolts.

Along the length direction of the third mounting portion 40 (direction D in Figure 16), the lengths of the third extensions 41 are different, so that when connecting the door panel 200 and the door body 100, the assembly deviation can be corrected according to the assembly deviation by selecting a third extension 41 of appropriate length.

[0076] By installing a connecting device on the door body 100 of a home appliance or the door panel 200 of furniture, the connecting device has multiple third extensions 41 of different lengths. When installing the door body 100 and the door panel 200, according to the deviation amount of the door body 100 and the door panel 200 during pre-assembly, the third extension 41 of appropriate length is selected to connect with the third mounting portion 40, thereby adjusting the relative height between the door body 100 and the door panel 200. Adjusting the abutment position of the first adjusting member 20 on the second entity can also adjust the lateral relative position between the door body 100 and the cabinet body. The connecting device of the present application can conveniently connect the door body 100 and the cabinet door, and can also conveniently adjust the relative position between the door body 100 and the door panel 200.

[0077] 1 to 6 , in some embodiments of the present application, the support assembly includes a connector 10, which is provided with a connecting groove 11. The connecting groove 11 extends along the width direction of the door body 100, and the bottom wall of the connecting groove 11 is a first wall 12. The connector 10 is mounted on the side of the door body 100 facing away from the box body or on the door panel 200. The connector 10 can be a groove-shaped structure. For example, the connector 10 is provided on the door body 100 or the door panel 200. The connector 10 can be fixed to the door body 100 or the door panel 200 by snaps or bolts. The connecting groove 11 is provided on the connector 10, and the connecting groove 11 is an elongated structure. The connecting groove 11 extends along the width direction of the door body 100, that is, the connecting groove 11 extends in the transverse direction of the door body 100 or the door panel 200. Along the height direction of the door body 100, the bottom wall or top wall of the connecting groove 11 is the first wall 12. When the adjustment assembly is installed on the door panel 200 and the connector 10 is installed on the door body 100, the bottom end of the adjustment assembly abuts against the first wall 12, so that the adjustment assembly is suspended on the first wall 12. When the adjustment assembly is installed on the door body 100 and the connector 10 is installed on the door panel 200, the top end of the adjustment assembly abuts against the first wall 12, so that the connector 10 is suspended on the adjustment assembly. The ends of the connecting groove 11 can be open, so that the adjustment assembly can be slid into the connecting groove 11 from both ends. During the actual installation of the door panel 200 and the door body 100, the door panel 200 can be installed by sliding it from the side of the door body 100, which is convenient for the user to install. A limit portion can also be provided at the notch of the connecting groove 11 away from the door body 100 or the door panel 200 to limit the adjustment assembly and prevent the adjustment assembly from falling out of the connecting groove 11.

[0078] Referring to Figure 7, in some embodiments of the present application, the connecting groove 11 may not be horizontally through, and may be arranged in sections. For example, connecting grooves 11 at both ends are arranged to correspond to two adjustment plates, and the two connecting grooves 11 are provided with a clearance gap 13 on the same side along the width direction of the door body 100. When the adjustment component moves to the end of the clearance gap 13, it is limited, which can reduce the displacement distance of the adjustment component when sliding in, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, the connection device further includes a gasket connected to the adjustment assembly and disposed between the adjustment assembly and the support assembly. The gasket may be an annular structure having a socket hole therein. The gasket is connected to the adjustment assembly, for example, the first mounting portion 21, the second mounting portion 31, or the third mounting portion 40, through the socket hole. The relative distance between the door body 100 and the door panel 200 is controlled by the gasket. The gasket may be a circular or rectangular structure.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, a connecting groove 11 can be opened on the door panel 200. The structure of the connecting groove 11 is the same as that of the connecting groove 11. The adjustment component is installed on the door body 100 and slidably inserted into the connecting groove 11, which can also achieve the effect of connecting the door body 100 and the door panel 200. Moreover, since the connecting groove 11 is opened on the door panel 200, the connection part 10 can be avoided to increase the thickness, so that the adjustment component extends into the interior of the door panel 200, reducing the thickness of the whole machine and improving the aesthetics.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, the adjustment component can also be a cam structure, in which the cam is rotatably connected to the door body 100 or the door panel 200 through a rotating shaft, and the cam is slidably installed on the support component. The cam abuts against the first wall 12. When the cam is rotated, the distance from the abutment point between the cam and the first wall 12 to the rotating shaft can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the relative height of the door body 100 and the door panel 200.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the adjustment component can also be a common shape such as an ellipse, a Leroy triangle, a quadrilateral, an octagon, etc. The contact point between the adjustment component and the connection groove 11 can be a point contact or a line contact like a slider, and the connection between the door body 100 and the door panel 200 is achieved by sliding the adjustment component into the connection groove 11. The connection between the adjustment component and the door body 100 or the door panel 200 can be eccentrically arranged, so that rotating the adjustment component can adjust the distance from the contact point between the adjustment component and the first wall 12 to the eccentric point, thereby adjusting the relative height of the door body 100 and the door panel 200.

[0083] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
