How to Adjust the Moving Parts in the Refrigerator

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of refrigerators, in particular to a method for adjusting movable parts in a refrigerator.

Background technique

Refrigerators are essential appliances in every household. In order to make full use of the space in the refrigerator, multiple accommodating spaces are often designed in the refrigerator. In the same storage space, partitions, shelves, bottle holders, etc. will be used to further separate. The positions of these components cannot be adjusted at will, which is inconvenient for users to access and retrieve items. With the improvement of consumers' living standards, higher requirements are put forward for the use of refrigerator products: it is hoped that the positions of refrigerator shelves and bottle holders can be adjusted (up and down, left and right, etc.) to flexibly adjust the storage space to facilitate user storage. Take items of different sizes. At present, there are also components with position-adjustable functions on the market, such as: adjustable shelf, adjustable bottle holder, etc.

Existing components with adjustable functions are mainly divided into the following three types. The first type: install two guide rails, install the parts to be adjusted on the two guide rails and slide and fix them on the two guide rails. The left and right sides of this structure can be adjusted independently, which is easy to cause asynchronous phenomenon, and when it is necessary to adjust , it is necessary to release the locks on the two guide rails at the same time, which is difficult to operate; the second type: it can only be adjusted between several fixed positions (generally 2-3); the third type: the parts that need to be adjusted are combined with the adjustment mechanism , these adjustable structures are mostly integrated with the component body: that is, a part of the component needs to cooperate with the position adjustment mechanism, resulting in a complex structure of the adjustable component and a reduction in the versatility of the component.

Contents of the invention

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for adjusting movable parts in a refrigerator that can be stably and reliably fixed, and is simple and convenient to operate.

In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for adjusting the movable parts in the refrigerator, including:

The movable part is clamped on the guide rail by using the limit block and the guide block which are fitted in an inclined plane, wherein one end of the limit block extends into the limit hole on the guide rail;

Apply force to the limit block through the toggle rod, so that the limit block is released from the limit hole under the action of the guide block on the inclined plane;

Move the movable part to the desired position, release the force exerted on the limit block, make the limit block move back along the slope, and its end enter the limit hole on the guide rail, thereby clamping the housing described moving parts.

Further, the backward movement of the limiting block along the slope is realized by the elastic force of the elastic member arranged on one side of the limiting block.

Further, the elastic member is a compression spring.

Further, the angle between the inclined plane between the limit block and the guide block and the axial direction of the guide rail is 30-60 degrees.

Further, the angle between the slope between the limit block and the guide block and the axial direction of the guide rail is 45 degrees.

Further, the guide rails are arranged in a vertical direction.

Further, the guide rail is arranged in a horizontal direction, and includes two limit blocks opposite to each other; apply force to one of the limit blocks to make the limit block escape from the limit hole; continue to apply force, the The limiting block drives the guide block to move, forcing the other limiting block to escape from the limiting hole.

Further, it also includes:

Push the guide block to the other direction through a sliding block, and under the action of the slope between the limit block and the guide block, the guide block forces the limit block to escape from the limit hole;

Move the movable part to the desired position, release the force exerted on the limit block, make the limit block move back along the slope, and its end enter the limit hole on the guide rail, thereby clamping the housing described moving parts.

detailed description

The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the examples given are not intended to limit the present invention.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the method for adjusting the movable parts in the refrigerator of the present invention is realized based on the following structure: the adjusting mechanism 3 includes a guide rail 1, and the guide rail 1 is provided with a limit hole 2 for positioning and fixing the adjusting mechanism 3 . The advantage of using a single guide rail in the present invention is that the movable parts only need to slide on one guide rail 1 during operation, so there will be no asynchronous problems.

As shown in Figure 2, the adjustment mechanism includes a guide rail 1, a sliding block 8 is provided on the guide rail 1, a limit block 5 and a guide block 4 are arranged between the slide block 8 and the guide rail 1, and a limit block 5 and a guide block 4 are arranged between the limit block 5 and the guide block 4 It fits on an inclined plane, and one end of the limit block 5 extends to the limit hole 2 on the guide rail 1; There is no limitation on the way of cooperation between the guide rail 1 and the sliding block 8, as long as the sliding block 8 can slide along the guide rail 1 without falling off. For example, a chute can be provided on the guide rail 1, and the sliding block 8 can be embedded in the chute; or both sides of the sliding block 8 can be bent inward to embrace the guide rail 1, etc. In addition, an elastic member is provided between the limiting block 5 and the guide block 4 , and the elastic member is preferably a compression spring 7 . Components that need to be adjusted, such as racks, bottle holders (not shown in the figure), etc., can be installed and fixed on the sliding block 8 , or can be integrally formed with the sliding block 8 .

The included angle between the inclined plane between the limit block 5 and the guide block 4 and the axial direction of the guide rail 1 is preferably 30-60 degrees, preferably 45 degrees. The matching structure between the limit block 5 and the guide block 4 can also have multiple embodiments, a preferred way is to form an inclined channel on the guide block 4, and a part of the limit block 5 passes through the channel, and Can slide in this channel. Referring to Fig. 2, there is a space on the side of the limit block 5 that is different from the guide rail 1, the existence of this space makes the limit block 5 move to the left a certain distance, and this distance is enough to make the limit block 5 move from out of the limiting hole 2.

The method for adjusting the moving parts in the refrigerator of the present invention includes the following steps.

As shown in Figure 3, when it is necessary to adjust the position downward, press the toggle lever 6 downward, the toggle lever 6 moves downward, and the toggle lever 6 presses the stop block 5 to also move downward, and during the downward movement Compress spring 7. Since the limit block 5 and the guide block 4 are fitted with an inclined surface, under the guidance of the inclined surface, the limit block 5 will move to the left at the same time in the process of moving downward, so that its end will be released from the limit hole 2 . At this moment, the adjustment mechanism 3 can slide freely on the guide rail 1 . The state at this time is shown in Figure 4. Slide the adjustment mechanism to the predetermined position, and loosen the toggle lever 6. After the external force disappears, the spring 7 pushes the limit block 5 and the toggle lever 6 to move upwards and reset. Due to the effect of the inclined surface, the limit block 5 will move to the right while moving upward, and its end will slide into the corresponding limit hole 2 on the guide rail 1, thereby locking the adjusting device again.

When the position needs to be adjusted upwards, it is only necessary to push the sliding block 8 upwards, and an upward force is applied to the guide block 4 through the sliding block 8, and the guide block 4 further exerts force on the limiting block 5. Under the action of the slope between the limiting block 5 and the guiding block 4 , the guiding block 4 forces the limiting block 5 to move to the left so as to escape from the limiting hole 2 . Subsequent relock operations are the same as above.

In the above-mentioned embodiments, the guide rail 1 is arranged in a vertical direction. As shown in Figure 5, the guide rail 2 can also be arranged in a horizontal direction. At this time, two limiting blocks are preferably arranged between the sliding block 8 and the guide rail 1, and the two limiting blocks are oppositely arranged towards two directions respectively. An elastic member is arranged between the position blocks, and the elastic member is preferably a compression spring 7; one side of the two limit blocks is respectively provided with a toggle lever 6. Of course, the two toggle levers 6 can be designed as one. When the position needs to be adjusted, just push the toggle lever 6 in the direction to be adjusted. Referring to Fig. 5, a further description is made by taking rightward adjustment as an example. Push the toggle lever 6 to the right, and the toggle lever 6 presses the first limit block 9 located on the left side to move to the right, and compresses the spring 7 during the movement to the right. Since the first limiting block 9 and the guide block 4 are fitted with an inclined surface, under the guidance of the inclined surface, the first limiting block 9 will move to one side at the same time in the process of moving to the right, thereby moving its end from the limit out of bit hole 2. When the first limiting block 9 is completely disengaged from the limiting hole 2 , no relative movement can be generated between it and the toggle rod 6 . Continue to push the toggle lever 6 to apply a rightward force to the guide block 4, and then the guide block 4 applies force to the second limit block 10 located on the right side. Under the action of the slope between the second limiting block 10 and the guiding block 4 , the guiding block 4 forces the second limiting block 10 to move to one side, so that it can escape from the limiting hole 2 . At this moment, the adjusting mechanism can slide freely on the guide rail 1 . Slide the adjustment mechanism to the predetermined position, and loosen the toggle lever 6. After the external force disappears, the spring 7 pushes the two limit blocks and the toggle lever to reset. The end of the limiting block will slide into the corresponding limiting hole 2 on the guide rail 1, thereby locking the adjusting device again. This structure can realize two-way reliable locking, and can be adjusted conveniently, which is suitable for the occasion of horizontal adjustment.

The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments for fully illustrating the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or transformations made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the present invention are all within the protection scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be determined by the claims.
