In particular, the present invention provides a refrigerator comprising a cabinet and a roller disposed at the bottom of the cabinet, and a positioning assembly according to any one of the above.

Optionally, a telescopic member is arranged on the side wall of the box body, and the telescopic member is telescopically movably arranged in the box body so as to adjust the length of the side wall protruding out of the box body.

According to the positioning assembly, the positioning rail is arranged on the fixing piece, and after the fixing piece is fixed on the cabinet or the wall body by the distance measuring piece, the positioning rail is positioned at a certain distance from the cabinet and the wall body. Meanwhile, the positioning rail can be in butt joint with the roller at the bottom of the refrigerator body, namely the roller of the refrigerator can be moved to a specific position, and then the refrigerator is moved to the specific position. That is, the distance between the refrigerator and the cabinet or the wall is determined by the distance between the positioning rail of the fixing member and the cabinet or the wall.

As shown in fig. 1-2, in one embodiment, the positioning assembly 10 includes a ranging member 110 and a securing member 120. One end of the ranging member 110 is fixed to the cabinet 20. The fixing member 120 is fixed to the other end of the distance measuring member 110, and is provided with a positioning rail 121 for interfacing with a roller 320 at the bottom of the case 310.

Referring to the drawings, in detail, a space for placing the refrigerator 30 is formed between the two cabinets 20, and it is necessary to secure a sufficient distance between the side wall of the cabinet 310 and the cabinet 20 when the refrigerator 30 is placed between the two cabinets 20. The positioning assembly 10 is used to secure a distance between the side wall of the refrigerator 30 and the cabinet 20 after being placed in place.

Specifically, one end of the ranging member 110 is fixed to the cabinet 20, and the fixing member 120 is fixed to the other end of the ranging member 110, thereby determining the distance between the positioning rail 121 and the cabinet 20. During the process of putting the refrigerator 30 between the cabinets 20, the rollers 320 of the refrigerator 30 gradually approach the positioning rails 121 as the refrigerator 30 is continuously moved until the rollers 320 are butted with the positioning rails 121. At this time, the refrigerator 30 is also put in place.

That is, the fixing member 120 is abutted with the roller 320 at the bottom of the refrigerator 30 through the positioning rail 121, so that the refrigerator 30 can be moved to a specific position. While the positioning rail 121 of the fixing member 120 maintains a certain distance from the cabinet 20 by the distance measuring member 110, the positioning assembly 10 determines the distance between the refrigerator 30 and the cabinet 20 using the distance between the positioning rail 121 and the cabinet 20.

Therefore, in the solution of the present embodiment, the positioning assembly 10 fixes the fixing member 120 at a position having a certain distance from the cabinet 20 through the distance measuring member 110, so that the refrigerator 30 placed in place has a proper distance from the cabinet 20 on the side, ensuring the space required for the side of the refrigerator 30, without multiple adjustments. In addition, the positioning assembly 10 is integrally fixed on the cabinet 20, so that the refrigerator 30 can be kept at the assembling position, and the distance change caused by the lateral movement of the refrigerator 30 can be effectively avoided.

In addition, the positioning assembly 10 is hidden at the rear side of the refrigerator 30, so that the front appearance of the refrigerator 30 is not affected, and the appearance of the refrigerator 30 is guaranteed.

It should be noted that, in the case that the cabinet and the wall form the placement space of the embedded refrigerator, the distance measuring member 110 may be fixed on the wall. In addition, the distance measuring member 110 and the cabinet 20 may be fixed by screws, suction cups or adhesives.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, in one embodiment, ranging element 110 includes a lateral extension 111 and a longitudinal extension 112. The lateral extension 111 extends in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the positioning rail 121 and is used for connection with the fixing member 120. The longitudinal extension 112 is formed by extending an end of the lateral extension 111 in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the lateral extension 111, and the longitudinal extension 112 is used for fixing with the cabinet 20.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in particular, the lateral extension 111 and the longitudinal extension 112 form a right angle structure. When the distance measuring device 110 is fixed to the fixing device 120, the lateral extension 111 is perpendicular to the axis of the positioning rail 121, that is, the distance between the positioning rail 121 and the cabinet 20 is mainly determined by the length of the lateral extension 111. Longitudinal extension 112 is configured to fit cabinet 20 and secure with cabinet 20.

In the solution of the present embodiment, by providing the ranging member 110 with the lateral extension 111 and the longitudinal extension 112, the ranging member 110 can be attached to and fixed to the cabinet 20 by using the longitudinal extension 112, so that the contact area with the cabinet 20 is increased, which is beneficial to improving the fixing effect between the ranging member 110 and the cabinet 20. Further, the positioning assembly 10 as a whole can be more stably fixed to the cabinet 20.

It should be noted that, in some other embodiments of the present application, the distance measuring device 110 may be only provided with the lateral extension 111, and may also be fixed to the cabinet 20.

As shown in fig. 3, in one embodiment, the mount 120 includes a horizontal plate 122 and a vertical plate 123. Wherein, the horizontal plate 122 is used for being attached to the ground, and the positioning track 121 is formed on the horizontal plate 122. The vertical plate 123 is formed by extending one end of the horizontal plate 122 in the vertical direction for fitting with the wall.

Referring to fig. 3, in detail, the horizontal plate 122 and the vertical plate 123 of the fixing member 120 form a right angle type structure corresponding to the junction of the wall and the ground. Therefore, the horizontal plate 122 and the vertical plate 123 are attached to the floor and the wall, respectively.

Therefore, in the solution of the present embodiment, for the whole positioning assembly 10, the positioning assembly 10 can be supported in three directions from the cabinet 20, the wall body and the ground, so that the positioning assembly 10 can be stably fixed at the preset position, and the position change caused by the shaking of the positioning assembly 10 is effectively avoided.

It should be noted that, the horizontal plate 122 may be fixed to the ground; or the vertical plate 123 may be fixed to the wall; or the horizontal plate 122 and the vertical plate 123 are fixed to the ground and the wall, respectively.

In addition, it should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present application, only the horizontal plate 122 may be provided on the fixing member 120.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, further, the distance measuring member 110 includes a first bonding plate 113 and a second bonding plate 114. The first bonding plate 113 is used for bonding with the horizontal plate 122. The second bonding plate 114 is used for bonding with the vertical plate 123.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, specifically, the first and second bonding plates 113 and 114 form a right angle structure corresponding to the horizontal and vertical plates 122 and 123. After the ranging member 110 is fixed to the fixing member 120, the first bonding plate 113 and the second bonding plate 114 are respectively bonded to the horizontal plate 122 and the vertical plate 123, so that the contact area between the ranging member 110 and the fixing member 120 can be increased, and the fixing effect between the ranging member 110 and the fixing member 120 can be improved.

It should be noted that, the lateral extension 111 and the longitudinal extension 112 of the distance measuring device 110 may be provided with a first bonding board 113 and a second bonding board 114. It is also possible to provide the first bonding plate 113 and the second bonding plate 114 only at the lateral extension 111, while the longitudinal extension 112 has a single plate-like structure.

It should be further noted that, in other embodiments of the present application, the lateral extension 111 and the longitudinal extension 112 of the ranging member 110 may be both of a single plate structure, so long as the longitudinal extension 112 can be attached to the cabinet 20, and it is ensured that the lateral extension 111 can be attached to the horizontal plate 122 or the vertical plate 123.

As shown in fig. 3, further, the horizontal plate 122 is provided with a protrusion 1221, and the protrusion 1221 is spaced apart from the vertical plate 123 to form a clamping groove 124 between the protrusion 1221 and the vertical plate 123, and the distance measuring member 110 is clamped by the clamping groove 124.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in particular, a clamping groove 124 of a "U" shape is formed between the boss 1221 and the vertical plate 123, and the lateral extension 111 of the distance measuring member 110 is placed in the clamping groove 124. The protrusion 1221 abuts the end of the first bonding plate 113, and the vertical plate 123 abuts the second bonding plate 114, thereby forming a clamp to the lateral extension 111, and improving the fixing effect of the distance measuring member 110 and the fixing member 120.

When the lateral extension 111 has a single-plate structure, it may be engaged with the holding groove 124.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, in one embodiment, the width of the positioning rail 121 is smaller and smaller from the entrance. Specifically, the width of the positioning rail 121 becomes smaller and smaller, i.e., in the direction in which the roller 320 enters the positioning rail 121.

Specifically, during the placement of the refrigerator 30, the roller 320 at the bottom of the case 310 can be made to correspond to the entrance of the positioning rail 121 in a wide range. Referring to fig. 5, for example, when the initial moving direction of the refrigerator 30 is biased to the left, the roller 320 can still contact the positioning rail 121 although the roller 320 is not aligned with its final position. Then, the positioning rail 121 can gradually guide the roller 320 to the right, and then guide the refrigerator 30 as a whole to the right, and finally the refrigerator 30 reaches a desired position, and a distance between the side wall of the case 310 and the cabinet is ensured.

Therefore, in the solution of the present embodiment, during the placement of the refrigerator 30, even if the initial movement direction of the refrigerator 30 does not reach the accurate assembly position, the roller 320 can still interface with the positioning rail 121 and then gradually return to the accurate movement direction under the guidance of the positioning rail 121, and finally the refrigerator 30 reaches the accurate assembly position. Therefore, the influence caused by the situation that the observation roller 320 is not in butt joint with the positioning rail 121 is reduced, and the placement efficiency of the embedded refrigerator 30 is improved.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the side wall of the front end of the positioning rail 121 is preferably curved. The roller 320 can be guided more smoothly.

As shown with reference to fig. 2 and 3, it is preferable that the guide rail 115 has a guide at a front end thereof, which has an inclined surface so that the roller 320 more easily climbs up the guide rail 115. The guide may be a detachable component.

As shown in fig. 3, in one embodiment, the positioning assembly 10 includes an adjustment structure 130 disposed between the ranging member 110 and the fixing member 120. The adjusting structure 130 is used for adjusting the fixing position of the fixing member 120 on the ranging member 110 to adjust the distance between the positioning rail 121 and the end of the ranging member 110 connected to the cabinet 20.

Referring to fig. 3, in particular, the adjustment structure 130 includes a bar-shaped hole 131, a bolt through hole 132, and a bolt. The bar-shaped hole 131, which extends in the adjustment direction of the distance measuring member 110, is provided on the fixing member 120. The bolt through hole 132 is provided on the distance measuring member 110. Bolts pass through the bar-shaped holes 131 and the bolt through holes 132 to fix the fixing member 120 and the distance measuring member 110 together.

Specifically, the vertical plate 123 of the fixing member 120 is provided with two identical bar-shaped holes 131, and the two bar-shaped holes 131 are distributed in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the positioning rail 121. The lateral extension 111 of the distance measuring member 110 is provided with two bolt through holes 132. The distance between the centers of the two bolt through holes 132 is equal to the distance between the centers of the two bar-shaped holes 131.

Further, the bar-shaped hole 131 extends in the adjustment direction of the distance measuring member 110, that is, has a certain length in the adjustment direction of the distance measuring member 110, so that the area of the bar-shaped hole 131 is larger than the bolt through hole 132. Therefore, the bolt through holes 132 can be aligned with the bar-shaped holes 131 at a plurality of positions in the adjustment direction of the distance measuring member 110. As long as the bolt through hole 132 is within the bar-shaped hole 131, the distance measuring member 110 and the fixing member 120 can be fixed with bolts passing through the bar-shaped hole 131 and the bolt through hole 132. So that ranging member 110 and fixing member 120 have a plurality of relative positional relationships, thereby adjusting the distance between fixing member 120 and cabinet 20.

Therefore, in the solution of the present embodiment, by providing the adjustment structure 130 between the ranging member 110 and the fixing member 120, the fixing member 120 can be adjusted in the fixing position on the fixing member 120, that is, the distance between the positioning rail 121 and the cabinet 20, by the adjustment structure 130. Therefore, the fixing piece 120 can flexibly adjust the position according to the side distance required by different embedded refrigerators, so as to meet the requirements of different refrigerator side distances. Therefore, the positioning assembly 10 can be flexibly applied to the assembly of various embedded refrigerators, and the application range of the positioning assembly 10 is improved.

In addition, the structures of the strip-shaped holes 131 and the bolt through holes 132 enable the adjusting range to be a continuous range, so that the problem that certain distances cannot be achieved due to the intermittent adjusting range is avoided.

It should be noted that only one bar-shaped hole 131 and one bolt through hole 132 may be provided. Alternatively, a plurality of bar-shaped holes 131 and one bolt through hole 132 may be provided. Alternatively, one bar-shaped hole 131 and a plurality of bolt through holes 132 may be provided.

It should be noted that the bar-shaped hole 131 may be provided on the distance measuring member 110, and the bolt through hole 132 may be provided on the fixing member 120.

In addition, the adjusting structure 130 may be disposed between the ranging member 110 and the horizontal plate 122 of the fixing member 120.

Although not shown in the drawings, in one embodiment, one of the ranging member 110 and the fixing member 120 is provided with a plurality of bolt through holes, and the other is provided with at least one identical bolt through hole, and the ranging member 110 and the fixing member 120 have different relative positions by correspondence between the different bolt through holes.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, in one embodiment, the fixing member 120 is provided with a plurality of grooves 125, and the distance measuring member 110 is provided with a movable catching protrusion 115, and the catching protrusion 115 has a first position to avoid the grooves 125 and a second position to fit into the grooves 125.

Referring to fig. 7, specifically, a spring is connected to the latch 115, and in a free state, the latch 115 is located at the second position. Referring to fig. 8, when the relative positions of the ranging member 110 and the fixing member 120 need to be adjusted, the catching protrusion 115 may be pressed to be positioned at the first position, and the catching protrusion 115 is dislocated from the insertion groove 125, so that the ranging member 110 and the fixing member 120 can move relatively. After the ranging piece 110 and the fixing piece 120 are fitted in place, the clamping protrusion 115 is released to be restored to the second position under the action of the elastic force of the spring, and the clamping protrusion 115 is embedded into the embedded groove 125, so that the ranging piece 110 cannot move relatively.

As shown in fig. 9-16, in one embodiment, the positioning assembly 10 further includes an anti-toppling structure 140 that includes a first mating member 141 and a second mating member 142. The first fitting 141 is disposed on the fixing member 120, and the second fitting 142 is disposed on the case 310. The first and second engaging members 141 and 142 are butted in place as the roller 320 and the positioning rail 121 are butted in place, and the butted first and second engaging members 141 and 142 have overlapping portions in the up-down direction so that the first engaging member 141 can apply a force to the second engaging member 142 opposite to the forward tilting direction of the case 310.

Specifically, since the first and second mating pieces 141 and 142 have overlapping portions in the up-down direction. Therefore, if the refrigerator 30 is inclined, the first engaging piece 141 can be abutted against the second engaging piece 142 in the up-down direction, so that a force opposite to the forward tilting direction of the case 310 is applied to the second engaging piece 142, and thus the refrigerator 30 can be effectively prevented from being inclined.

As shown in fig. 9 to 10, in one embodiment, the first fitting 141 is a blocking plate, which is disposed in a horizontal direction. The second matching component 142 comprises a yielding through hole 1421, which is arranged on the rear side wall of the box 310; an abutting plate 1422 formed on a bottom plate of the case 310; the first fitting member 141 is inserted into the inside of the case 310 through the escape through hole 1421 to have an overlapping portion with the abutment plate 1422 in the up-down direction.

Specifically, the vertical plate 123 includes a first vertical section that interfaces with the horizontal plate 122, and a second vertical section for connection with a wall. The first vertical section and the second vertical section are connected by a horizontal section, and the second vertical section is located on a side of the first vertical section away from the horizontal plate 122. The abutment plate is formed by bending a part of the second vertical section to one side of the horizontal plate 122, and the abutment plate is horizontally arranged.

Further, a relief hole 1421 corresponding to the size of the retaining plate is formed at the rear sidewall of the case 310 so that the retaining plate can be inserted into the case 310 from the relief hole 1421 to overlap with the abutment plate 1422 formed at the bottom of the case 310.

In the process of placing the refrigerator 30, as the refrigerator 30 gradually enters the placing space, the holding-down hole 1421 gradually approaches the holding-down plate until the refrigerator 30 is placed in place, and the holding-down plate passes through the holding-down hole 1421 and is embedded into the case 310. So that the abutment plate partially overlaps the abutment plate 1422.

When the refrigerator 30 is inclined after the first and second engaging members 141 and 142 are engaged, the case 310 is moved upward, i.e., the engagement plate 1422 is moved upward. At this time, the top surface of the abutment plate 1422 abuts against the ground of the abutment plate. Since the first engaging member 141 is fixed to the cabinet 20 through the distance measuring member 110, the blocking plate can block the movement of the blocking plate 1422, i.e., the tilting of the case 310, thereby functioning to prevent the tilting of the refrigerator 30.

As shown in fig. 11 to 16, in one embodiment, the first mating member 141 includes a mating plate 1411 and a relief structure formed on the mating plate 1411 in a hollowed-out manner, and the second mating member 142 is embedded in the mating plate 1411 by the relief structure so as to overlap the mating plate 1411 in an up-down direction.

As shown in fig. 11 to 13, in one embodiment, the fitting plate 1411 is disposed in a horizontal direction, and the fixing member 120 fixed in place with the distance measuring member 110 is such that there is a space between the fitting plate 1411 and the ground. The relief structure is a relief groove 1412 formed on the mating plate 1411 and having a forward facing opening. The second fitting 142 includes a connection rod 1423 connected to the case 310, which can be inserted into the relief groove 1412 in the front-rear direction of the case 310. A mating cap 1424 disposed at an end of the connecting rod 1423 remote from the housing 310. The first and second mating members 141 and 142 are aligned such that the mating cap 1424 and the mating plate 1411 have overlapping portions in the up-down direction.

Referring to fig. 11 to 13, specifically, the fitting plate 1411 is formed by horizontally extending one side of a part of the vertical plate 123 toward the horizontal plate 122. In other words, the fitting plate 1411 and the horizontal plate 122 are located on the same side of the vertical plate 123, and the fitting plate 1411 and the horizontal plate 122 are arranged in parallel. The mating plate 1411 is hollowed out from one end away from the vertical plate 123 toward the direction approaching the vertical plate 123, thereby forming a relief groove 1412 having an opening toward the front side.

Further, the second mating member 142 is a bolt that includes a connecting rod 1423, i.e., a threaded rod, and a mating cap 1424, i.e., a threaded cap. The connection bar 1423 is fixed to the bottom of the case 310 in the vertical direction, and the coupling cap 1424 is located at an end of the connection bar 1423 remote from the case 310. Wherein, the outer diameter of the connecting rod 1423 is smaller than the width of the relief groove 1412, and the outer diameter of the mating cap 1424 is larger than the width of the relief groove 1412. Therefore, the connecting rod 1423 can be inserted into the relief groove 1412 from the opening of the relief groove 1412.

During the placement of the refrigerator 30, as the refrigerator 30 gradually enters the placement space, the connecting rod 1423 gradually approaches the relief groove 1412 until the refrigerator 30 is placed in place, the connecting rod 1423 is embedded in the relief groove 1412, and the mating cap 1424 is located at the bottom side of the mating plate 1411. Because the outer diameter of the fitting cap 1424 is larger than the width of the relief groove 1412, the fitting cap 1424 has an overlapping portion with the fitting plate 1411 in the up-down direction.

After the first and second mating members 141 and 142 are docked in place, the mating cap 1424 moves upward if the refrigerator 30 has a tendency to topple over. Because the outer diameter of the mating cap 1424 is greater than the width of the relief groove 1412, the top surface of the mating cap 1424 will abut the bottom surface of the mating plate 1411. Also, since the first fitting 141 is fixed to the ground or the wall, the fitting plate 1411 can block the movement of the second fitting 142, thereby functioning to prevent the refrigerator 30 from being toppled over.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present application, the mating plate 1411 may also be formed by horizontally extending the top of the vertical plate 123 to one side of the horizontal plate 122. That is, the vertical plate 123 has no portion located above the mating plate 1411.

Referring to fig. 13, the width of the relief groove 1412 may preferably be gradually reduced from the opening to the inner side, so that the connecting bar 1423 may more easily enter the relief groove 1412 and then be guided into place by the relief groove 1412, facilitating the butt joint of the relief groove 1412 and the connecting bar 1423, and thus facilitating the placement of the refrigerator 30.

As shown in fig. 14 to 16, in still another embodiment, the fitting plate 1411 is provided in the vertical direction. The relief structure is a relief hole 1413. The second engaging member 142 is a fitting column, and its axial direction is parallel to the front-rear direction of the housing 310, and can be fitted into the relief hole 1413 in the front-rear direction of the housing 310. The first and second fitting pieces 141 and 142 that are aligned in place have overlapping portions of the fitting column and the fitting plate 1411 in the up-down direction.

Specifically, the vertical plate 123 includes a portion for fitting with a wall body and a portion for forming a fitting plate 1411, which are connected together by a horizontal portion. Wherein the mating plate 1411 is located on a side of the vertical plate 123 facing the horizontal plate 122 for engaging with a wall. Further, the engagement plate 1411 extends upward from the horizontal section. The matching plate 1411 is provided with a round yielding hole 1413 through hollows.

Further, a fitting post is provided on the rear sidewall of the case 310, protruding outward from the rear sidewall of the case 310.

In the process of placing the refrigerator 30, as the refrigerator 30 gradually enters the placing space, the fitting post gradually approaches the relief hole 1413 until the refrigerator 30 is placed in place, and the fitting post is embedded into the relief hole 1413. So that the fitting post and the fitting plate 1411 have overlapping portions in the up-down direction, i.e., portions of the fitting post located in the relief hole 1413 overlap the fitting plate 1411.

When the refrigerator 30 is inclined after the first and second engaging members 141 and 142 are engaged in place, the engaging column moves upward. At this time, the relief hole 1413 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the fitting post. Since the first fitting 141 is fixed on the ground or the wall, the fitting plate 1411 can block the movement of the fitting column, thereby functioning to prevent the refrigerator from being toppled over.

The engagement plate 1411 may extend downward from the horizontal portion of the vertical plate 123.

As shown in fig. 9 to 16, the fixing member 120 is provided with a stopper 126, and the stopper 126 is adapted to abut against the second fitting member 142 in the front-rear direction of the case 310 so that a space is provided between the rear side of the case 310 and the wall. Specifically, when the first and second engaging members 141 and 142 are assembled in place, the second engaging member 142 abuts against the stopper 126 in the front-rear direction.

That is, the stopper 126 can limit the case 310 in the front-rear direction of the case 310, and prevent the case 310 from continuing to approach the wall, so as to ensure that a space is provided between the rear side of the case 310 and the wall. Therefore, the stop portion 126 can effectively prevent the rear side of the case 310 from being too close to the wall, thereby facilitating heat dissipation of the refrigerator 30.

As shown in fig. 9-10, in one embodiment, the stop 126 is a first vertical section of the vertical plate 123 that is a distance from the wall. The stop portion 126 abuts against the end portion of the abutting plate 1422 to prevent the case 310 from continuing to approach the wall, so that a distance between the rear side wall of the case 310 and the wall is ensured, and heat dissipation of the case 310 is facilitated.

As shown in fig. 11-13, in one embodiment, the stop 126 is a rear end wall of the relief groove 1412, which is a distance from the wall. The stop portion 126 abuts against the connecting rod 1423 to prevent the case 310 from continuing to approach the wall, so as to ensure a distance between the rear side wall of the case 310 and the wall, and facilitate heat dissipation of the case 310.

As shown in fig. 14-16, in one embodiment, the stop 126, i.e., the mating plate 1411, is used to face the side of the mating post. It has a certain distance with the wall. The stop portion 126 is abutted with the side wall of the periphery of the embedded column to prevent the box 310 from continuing to approach the wall, so that the distance between the rear side wall of the box 310 and the wall is ensured, and the heat dissipation of the box 310 is facilitated.

Referring to fig. 9 to 16, in one embodiment, the thickness of the positioning rail 121 increases from the front end to the rear end. Therefore, after the first mating member 141 and the second mating member 142 are docked in place, the case 310 can slightly tilt forward, so that a pre-tightening force is provided between the second mating member 142 and the first mating member 141, and stability of the case 310 is improved.

As shown in fig. 1 to 17, in one embodiment, the refrigerator 30 includes a case 310, a roller 320, and the positioning assembly 10 of the above embodiment.

As shown in fig. 17, in one embodiment, a telescopic member 330 is disposed on a side wall of the case 310, and the telescopic member 330 is telescopically movably disposed on the case 310 to adjust a length of the telescopic member protruding from the side wall of the case 310.

Specifically, the expansion member 330 is a bolt that is screwed with the case 310 so that the length protruding from the side wall of the case 310 can be adjusted by rotation.

In the solution of the present embodiment, the movement of the refrigerator 30 can be initially positioned by providing the telescopic member 330 so as to be easier to enter the positioning rail 121.
