As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the measuring tool 100 of the present invention is suitable for detecting the refrigerator 200, and in particular, detecting whether the inner container 220 inside the refrigerator body 210 of the refrigerator 200 is deformed.

Note that the deformation of the inner container 220 includes two types. One is whether the sidewall of the inner container 220 is deformed, that is, whether there is a recess or a protrusion on the sidewall of the inner container 220. Secondly, whether the position of the inner container 220 relative to the box 210 changes, the change in position includes the inner container 220 being inclined relative to the box 210, for example, the bottom or the top of the inner container 220 is located outside or inside the box 210.

The structure of the measurement tool 100 in some embodiments of the utility model is described in detail below with reference to fig. 3 and 4. Fig. 3 is a first isometric view of measurement tool 100 in some embodiments of the utility model, and fig. 4 is a second isometric view of measurement tool 100 in some embodiments of the utility model.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the measuring tool 100 includes a tool body 110 and a measuring member 120. The measuring tool 100 is abutted against the case 210 through the tool body 110, and measures the distance between the inner container 220 and the case 210 through the measuring member 120, so that the inspector can judge whether the inner container 220 is deformed or not according to the distance.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, the tool body 110 includes an abutting portion 111 and a measuring portion 112, and the tool body 110 abuts against the case 210 through the abutting portion 111. The measuring part 112 is aligned with the inner container 220, and the measuring member 120 is mounted on the measuring part 112.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, abutment 111 includes a first abutment 1111 and a second abutment 1112. The first abutting portion 1111 is adapted to the outer surface of the case 210, so that the abutting portion 111 abuts against the outer surface of the case 210 through the first abutting portion 1111. The second abutting portion 1112 is fitted to the front end surface of the housing 210 so that the abutting portion 111 abuts against the front end surface of the housing 210 via the second abutting portion 1112.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, the measurement portion 112 includes a first measurement portion 1121 and a second measurement portion 1122. The first measurement portion 1121 corresponds to the first contact portion 1111 and is aligned with the inner side surface of the inner container 220. Further, the inner side surface of the first measuring portion 1121 is tangent to the inner side surface of the inner container 220, so that the first measuring portion 1121 is matched with the inner side surface of the inner container 220. The second measurement portion 1122 corresponds to the second abutment portion 1112 and is aligned with the front end surface of the inner container 220.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the tool body 110 is U-shaped as a whole, and the first abutting portion 1111, the second abutting portion 1112, the second measuring portion 1122, and the first measuring portion 1121 are distributed in this order along a path of the U-shape. Of course, the tool body 110 can be configured in any other feasible shape, such as M-shape, etc., as required by those skilled in the art.

Further, the tool body 110 is provided such that the distance between the first contact portion 1111 and the first measurement portion 1121 is larger than the sum of the thicknesses of the case 210 and the inner container 220. In other words, when the first abutting portion 1111 abuts against the outer side surface of the box 210 and when the second abutting portion 1112 abuts against the front end surface of the box 210, a gap is formed between the inner side surface of the first measuring portion 1121 and the inner side surface of the inner container 220, so that the tool body 110 can be smoothly clamped on the refrigerator 200 (as shown in fig. 1 and 2).

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, the measurement member 120 includes a first measurement member 121 and a second measurement member 122. Among them, the first measuring member 121 is preferably plural, for example, two, three, four, five, etc. Further, a plurality of first measuring members 121 are distributed at intervals on the first measuring portion 1121 in the front-rear direction of the measuring tool 100. Also, each first measuring member 121 is slidable relative to the first measuring portion 1121 in the left-right direction of the measuring tool 100. Specifically, the first measuring portion 1121 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes (not shown in the drawings) that allow the first measuring portion 1121 to slide, and the first measuring member 121 is slidably mounted in the first mounting holes.

Further, the second measuring member 122 is mounted on the second measuring part 1122, and is slidable with respect to the second measuring part 1122 in the front-rear direction of the measuring tool 100. Specifically, the second measuring part 1122 is provided with a second mounting hole (not shown) allowing the second measuring part 1122 to be slidably mounted therein, and the second measuring member 122 is slidably mounted therein.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the first measuring member 121 and the second measuring member 122 are scales. In other words, the first measuring member 121 and the second measuring member 122 are respectively provided with scales to be read by the inspector.

Further, in order to fix the first and second measuring

members

121 and 122, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the measuring tool 100 further includes first and second adjusting

members

131 and 132.

Specifically, there is one first adjusting member 131 for each first measuring member 121, and the first adjusting member 131 is used for fixing the first measuring member 121 and the first measuring part 1121 together to prevent the first measuring member 121 from being relatively moved with respect to the sliding tool body 110. Illustratively, the first adjustment member 131 is a knob with a threaded post, and the first measurement portion 1121 is provided with a threaded hole that communicates with a first mounting hole (for mounting the first measurement member 121). The first measuring member 121 is fixed by screwing the threaded post of the first adjusting member 131 into the threaded hole and bringing the threaded post of the first adjusting member 131 into abutment with the first measuring member 121.

Likewise, the second measuring member 122 corresponds to the second adjusting member 13, and the second adjusting member 132 serves to fix the second measuring member 122 together with the second measuring part 1122 to prevent the second measuring member 122 from being opposed to the slide tool body 110. The second adjustment member 132 is illustratively a knob with a threaded post, and the second measurement portion 1122 is provided with a threaded hole that communicates with a second mounting hole (for mounting the second measurement member 122). The second measuring member 122 is fixed by screwing the threaded post of the second adjusting member 132 into the threaded hole and bringing the threaded post of the second adjusting member 132 into abutment with the second measuring member 122.

The method of using the measurement tool 100 in some embodiments of the utility model is described in detail below with reference to fig. 1-4.

First, the first and

second adjustment members

131 and 132 are loosened to allow the first and second measuring

members

121 and 122 to freely slide with respect to the tool body 110.

Then, the tool body 110 is engaged with the refrigerator 200, the first contact portion 1111 is brought into contact with the outer surface of the case 210, and the second contact portion 1112 is brought into contact with the front end surface of the case 210.

Then, the first measuring member 121 and the second measuring member 122 are pushed towards the direction close to the inner container 220 until each first measuring member 121 abuts against the inner side surface of the inner container 220 and the second measuring member 122 abuts against the front end surface of the inner container 220.

Subsequently, the first and

second adjustment members

131 and 132 are tightened, so that the first and

second adjustment members

131 and 132 fix the first and second measuring

members

121 and 122 to the tool body 110 to prevent the first and second measuring

members

121 and 122 from sliding with respect to the tool body 110.

Finally, the inspector removes the measuring tool 100 from the refrigerator 200, reads the scales on the first and second measuring

members

121 and 122, and determines whether the inner container 220 has a recess and/or a protrusion at the place according to the read values, and determines whether the place of the inner container 220 has moved forward or backward with respect to the cabinet 210.

The above operation is repeated for a plurality of positions on the refrigerator 200 to determine the deformation condition of the entire inner container 210.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the scales on the first and second measuring

members

121 and 122 include 0, negative number scales, and positive number scales. When the inner container 220 is not deformed, the sensing readings of the first and

second sensing members

121 and 122 are both 0. When the sidewall of the inner container 220 is concave, the first measuring member 121 has a positive reading, and when the sidewall of the inner container 220 is convex, the first measuring member 121 has a negative reading. The second measuring member 122 has a positive reading when the inner container 220 is moved backward relative to the case 210, and a negative reading when the inner container 220 is moved forward relative to the case 210.

Alternatively, one skilled in the art may determine the reading of the first measuring member 121 and the second measuring member 122 for detecting the undeformed liner 220 and use the reading as the reference reading. The reading obtained by subsequently inspecting the liner 220 is then compared with the reference reading to determine whether the liner 220 is deformed according to the comparison result.

Based on the foregoing description, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that, in some embodiments of the present invention, the measuring tool 100 can assist a detection person to accurately detect whether the inner container 220 is deformed, so as to repair the refrigerator 200 with the deformed inner container 210, thereby effectively ensuring the quality of the refrigerator 200. Further, since the measuring tool 100 includes a plurality of first measuring members 121, the measuring tool 100 can detect irregularities at a plurality of positions on the inner container 220 at a time.
