Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigeration appliance, and in particular, to a refrigeration appliance having a door hinge assembly, such as a refrigerator, a wine cooler or a freezer.
  • CN102365515A discloses an adjustable hinge assembly for a pivot door, including a pivot shaft fixed to a hinge plate, an adjusting part sleeved on the pivot shaft and a locking member for maintaining the position of the adjusting part along the pivot shaft, where the pivot shaft has a thread portion and defines a rotation axis of the door, and the adjusting part has an inner thread which is rotatable along the thread portion of the pivot shaft to adjust the height of the door.
  • the locking member extends through one of multiple recesses arranged at an outer periphery of the adjusting part, and it is necessary to remove the locking member when the adjusting part is rotated.
  • the adjusting part is always next to the bottom of the door, if an operator uses a tool to grip the adjusting part to rotate the adjusting part, the tool always interferes with a member above the adjusting part, which may increase the difficulty of adjusting the height of the door, and such inconvenience is particularly evident when the adjusting part is located at the bottom of the refrigerator.
  • An objective of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration appliance capable of helping to reduce the difficulty of adjusting the height of the door.
  • the refrigeration appliance includes a main body, a door, and a hinge assembly connecting the door to the main body, where the hinge assembly includes a hinge bracket with an end fixed to the main body, a hinge shaft connected to the hinge bracket and defining a rotation axis of the door, and an adjusting part for adjusting the height of the door relative to the main body; characterized by further including a lift member sleeved on the hinge shaft and connected to the adjusting part in a threaded connection manner, and the adjusting part is rotatable along a first direction to drive the lift member to move upwards along the hinge shaft and support the door to move upwards.
  • the adjusting part rotates to drive the lift member which is connected to the adjusting part in a threaded connection manner so as to move the door upwards, and the adjusting part can be maintained (at least substantially held) at an original position, which helps to reduce probability of interference between the adjusting part and the bottom of the door, thereby helping to reduce the difficulty of adjusting the height of the door.
  • the adjusting part sits on a support surface parallel to the hinge bracket when adjusting the height of the door
  • the adjusting part sits on the hinge bracket. This not only helps to simplify the structure of the hinge assembly, but also helps to increase a height adjustment range between the bottom of the door and the hinge bracket.
  • the lift member when the adjusting part rotates along a second direction opposite to the first direction, the lift member is movable downwards until the lift member directly sits on the hinge bracket.
  • the adjusting part when the lift member sits on the hinge bracket, the adjusting part is capable of being rotated and moving upwards to be suspended.
  • the thread between the lift member and the adjusting part no longer needs to bear the weight of the door. This provides a possibility, i.e., when it is unnecessary to adjust the height of the door, for example, during transport of the refrigeration appliance, the adjusting part may be in a suspended/resting state, to avoid damage to the connection thread between the adjusting part and the lift member caused by possible up and down vibration of the door.
  • the adjusting part has an inner thread
  • the lift member is inserted into the adjusting part and has an outer thread connected to the inner thread in a threaded connection manner.
  • the lift member includes a cylinder portion inserted into the adjusting part, and a platform portion having a cross-sectional area greater than that of the cylinder portion, and the platform portion forms an upper end surface of the lift member. This helps to increase the support area of the lift member for bearing the weight of the door.
  • an anti-rotation structure for preventing the lift member from rotating with respect to the hinge shaft.
  • the anti-rotation structure may include a groove formed by one of the lift member and the hinge shaft and extending in a direction of the rotation axis, and a protruding portion formed by the other one of the lift member and the hinge shaft and protruding from an inner peripheral surface or outer peripheral surface of the same and extending into the groove.
  • the refrigeration appliance may include a door closing unit between the bottom of the door and the lift member.
  • the door closing unit includes an upper door closing part fixed to the bottom of the door and a lower door closing part connected to the lift member in a manner of being not rotatable to the top member, wherein the upper door closing part and the lower door closing part each have a cam surface and the pair of cam surfaces contact with each other face to face.
  • the refrigeration appliance includes a stopper structure for preventing the lift member from continuing to move upwards after moving upwards to a highest position. This particularly helps to avoid the situation where a user/worker excessively rotates the adjusting part such that the lift member and the adjusting part exit the threaded connection or even fall off.
  • the stopper structure includes a first stopper portion connected to the lift member and a second stopper portion formed in the adjusting part, where the first stopper portion and the second stopper portion butt against each other at the highest position to prevent the lift member from continuing to move upwards, so as to avoid in a simple and reliable manner that the adjusting part is separated from the lift member.
  • the first stopper portion is connected to a lower end of the lift member.
  • the first stopper portion is formed by a stopper ring sleeved on the lift member or is integrally formed on the lift member.
  • the adjusting part is hollow and includes an adjusting portion having an inner thread and a base portion connected to the adjusting portion, where an inner diameter of the base portion is greater than that of the adjusting portion to form a connection surface for connecting the base portion and an inner peripheral surface of the adjusting portion, and the second stop portion is formed by the connection surface. Integrally forming the second stop portion directly on an inner wall surface of the adjusting part helps to reduce parts of the hinge assembly, thereby helping to simplify the assembling of the hinge assembly.
  • the adjusting part step adjusts the height of the door. This helps the user/worker operating the adjusting part to feel the adjusted height more clearly.
  • one of the adjusting part and the hinge bracket is provided with a plurality of concave portions surrounding the hinge shaft and disposed at intervals, and the other one of the adjusting part and the hinge bracket is provided with at least one convex portion, where the convex portion is adapted to be at least partially received in any one of the concave portions.

  • the lower end of the cylinder portion 41 may form a circle of retaining groove 45 recessed in the radial direction, and the stopper ring is sandwiched in the retaining groove 45 so as to prevent the stopper ring from moving in the direction of the rotation axis X.
  • the adjusting part 3 is first screwed onto the lift member 4, and it would be best if the end of the lift member 4 extends out of the adjusting part 3, so as to connect the first stopper portion 5 to the lower end of the lift member 4. Then, the assembled adjusting part 3, the lift member 4 and the first stopper portion 4 are sleeved on the hinge shaft 8.

  • the adjusting part 3 that sits on the hinge bracket 2 may be rotated along a second direction (e.g., counterclockwise) opposite to the first direction, and the lift member 4 is driven to move down along the hinge shaft 8, so that the door 102 supported by the lift member 4 moves downwards together.
  • a second direction e.g., counterclockwise
  • the adjusting part 3 When the lift member 4 directly sits on the hinge bracket 2, if the adjusting part 3 continues to be rotated in the second direction, the adjusting part can move upwards along the second thread portion 41 of the lift member 4 to form spacing with the hinge bracket 2 and hence be suspended, and the lift member 4 remains sitting on the hinge bracket 2. At this time, the adjusting part 3 is in a resting state, and the lift member 4 remains in the lowest position.
