Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of article storage, in particular to a storage device.

Background

At present, the maximum door opening angle (the opening angle, i.e., the angle range in which the door body can rotate around the hinge shaft) of the refrigerator door body in the market is fixed, but the requirements for the maximum door opening angle of the refrigerator may be different when the refrigerator is arranged in different spaces. When the refrigerator is placed in a small space, in order to prevent the refrigerator door body from colliding with surrounding objects when the refrigerator is opened, the maximum opening angle of the refrigerator may be required to be reduced; when the refrigerator is placed in a large space, it may be required that the maximum door opening angle of the refrigerator becomes large in order to better access foods inside the refrigerator.

Detailed Description

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a storage device 100 according to one embodiment of the application; FIG. 2 is a schematic partial enlarged view of region A in FIG. 1; fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of the adjusting device 200 in fig. 2. Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the storage device 100 includes a case 110 defining a storage compartment 111 and a door 120 for opening and closing a taking-out and putting-in opening of the storage compartment 111, the door 120 is pivotally connected to the case 110 by a hinge 130, and the hinge 130 includes a hinge plate 131 and a hinge shaft 132. The storage device 100 further comprises an adjustment device 200. The adjustment device 200 may be configured to adjust a maximum door opening angle of the door 120 of the storage device 100.

Specifically, the adjusting device 200 may include a stopper 210, a positioning member 220, an adjusting bolt 230, and a tension spring 260. The stopper 210 is disposed such that the front end thereof abuts against the hinge plate 131 during rotation of the door body 120 to adjust the maximum door opening angle of the door body 120. The front end of the stopper 210 may be provided with an elastic pad to prevent collision noise from being generated when the stopper 210 is abutted against the hinge plate 131. The positioning member 220 is disposed on an upper end surface or a lower end surface of the door body 120 to mount the adjusting device 200 on the upper end surface or the lower end surface of the door body 120. And the positioning member 220 is provided with a threaded hole 2241, the threaded hole 2241 being configured to mate with the threaded shaft 232 of the adjusting bolt 230. The end of the screw 232 of the adjusting bolt 230 abuts against the rear end of the stopper 210 to extend or retract the stopper 210. The tension spring 260 is provided to connect the rear end of the stopper 210 with the positioning member 220 so that the stopper 210 moves in synchronization with the adjusting bolt 230 in the axial direction of the adjusting bolt 230. In other words, when the adjusting bolt 230 moves forward in the axial direction thereof, the end of the screw 232 of the adjusting bolt 230 abuts against the rear end of the stopper 210, pushing the stopper 210 to extend (move forward), and the tension spring 260 is in a stretched state; when the adjusting bolt 230 moves backward in the axial direction thereof, the tension of the tension spring 260 of the stopper 210 is retracted (moved backward) until the end of the screw 232 of the adjusting bolt 230 abuts against the rear end of the stopper 210

The adjusting device 200 of the application has a simple structure, and when being installed on the upper end surface or the lower end surface of the door body 120, the maximum door opening angle of the storage device 100 can be adjusted according to the placement space of the storage device 100, thereby avoiding the damage of the door body 120 caused by the collision of the door body 120 with surrounding objects in the process of opening the door body 120 of the storage device 100.

The dimension of the first extension 224 in the depth direction may be greater than the dimension of the second extension 223 in the depth direction, such that an opening is formed before the second extension 223 and the first limiting portion 252, from which the stop portion 212 of the stop 210 extends outwardly.

In some embodiments, the adjustment device 200 may further include a compression spring 240. The compression spring 240 is provided to connect the stopper 231 of the adjustment bolt 230 with the rear surface (outer surface) of the first extension 224 of the positioning member 220 to prevent the adjustment bolt 230 from loosening.

In some embodiments, the storage device 100 may also include a refrigeration system (not shown). A refrigeration system may be disposed within the cabinet 110 and configured to provide refrigeration to the storage compartment 111. Such a storage device 100 with a refrigeration system may also be generally referred to as a refrigeration and freezer, and may be, for example, a refrigerator having at least a refrigeration compartment and a freezer compartment. The refrigeration system may be a conventional compression refrigeration system, a semiconductor refrigeration system, or the like, that provides refrigeration to the storage compartment 111, such as by direct cooling and/or air cooling, to provide the storage compartment 111 with a desired storage temperature. In some embodiments, the preservation temperature of the refrigerator compartment may be 2-9 ℃, or may be 4-7 ℃; the storage temperature of the freezing compartment may be-22 to-14 ℃, or may be-20 to 16 ℃.
