Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a door inclination correction tool used to eliminate the inclination of a door when the door hangs down from a hanging base side in a prefabricated refrigerator or the like.

The door attached to the fixed frame body such as the cabinet body by the hinge is set to open and close around the vertical line passing through the pivot pin of the hinge, but the rotation side member of the hinge is the left or right edge of the door The hinge is attached to the edge of the fixed frame near the edge, and the door has a cantilevered support structure, so the hinge is fully loaded with the door. .
Therefore, when the door load is large, it is conceivable to increase the number of hinges installed to support the load in a distributed manner.However, when multiple hinges are used, it is necessary to align the pivot pins of each hinge on the same vertical line. Therefore, if the number of hinges to be attached increases, it will take excessive effort to attach the hinges accordingly.

As mentioned above, the hinge is always subjected to bending torque according to the door load, the hinge has inherently manufacturing errors and mounting errors, and the hinge components are worn and deformed over many years. Due to the inevitable and possible manufacturing errors and deformations of the fixed frame and the door itself, the free end side of the door is lowered with the base of the hanging side where the door is cantilevered by a hinge as a base point. May hang down.
When the door hangs down in this way, the actual rotation center axis of the door is inclined with respect to a vertical line (original rotation center axis) passing through the hinge pivot pin, and the outer peripheral surface of the pivot pin and the rotation side A large lateral pressure resistance is generated between the inner peripheral surfaces of the members, and the door does not smoothly open and close.

To prevent the door from drooping, an L-shaped bracket protrudes from the center of the door and at the top of the inner side, and a roller base equipped with a support roller is attached to the bottom surface of the top plate on the fixed frame side to close the door. It has been proposed that an L-shaped bracket is sometimes inserted between a roller base and a support roller to support the door load with the support roller (see Patent Document 1).

According to the technique of Patent Document 1, while the door is closed, the load of the door is supported not only by the hinge but also by the center of the door. However, when the L-shaped bracket is not engaged with the support roller, When the door is left open during opening and closing rotation, or for putting in and out of goods and for people to enter and leave, the total load of the door is exclusively applied only to the hinges, and the cause of drooping remains.
In addition, this technology does not eliminate or compensate for the door sag itself. Therefore, when the door sag occurs once due to the above factors, the lateral pressure resistance acts between the hinge members, and the door is smooth. Will prevent the opening and closing rotation.

As a hinge that can be finely adjusted in the vertical direction, left-right direction, and front-rear direction of the door, a receiving piece is installed inside the housing fixed to the door frame, and the door frame side blade having an adjusting piece placed on the receiving piece A rotating shaft whose length can be adjusted is inserted and fixed to the support portion, and a recessed portion of the door-side blade is fitted to the protruding portion of the rotating shaft so that the door can be opened and closed. A protrusion parallel to the axis of rotation axis is provided, screw holes are provided on both sides thereof, and an adjustment piece placed on the receiving piece is provided with a long hole corresponding to the screw hole, The screw passing through the long hole is screwed into the screw hole, and the door is displaced in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction between the receiving piece and the adjusting piece while the screw is loosely screwed. Thus, the correct mounting position of the door is detected, and the screw is firmly tightened with the position secured, and the receiving Is that so as to fix the adjusting pieces and pieces (see Patent Document 2).

However, the hinge according to the technique of Patent Document 2 has a complicated shape structure because there are three adjustment directions, and its manufacturing and assembly cost is high, and it is necessary to take a complicated procedure in the adjustment work, so that it is easy to use. It was bad.

An object of the present invention is to provide a door tilt correction tool that can be manufactured at low cost and can be used easily without having to go through complicated procedures.

In the door tilt correction tool of the present invention, the door that is suspended and supported by the hinges at the left and right ends hangs down from the suspension base side, and the actual rotation center axis of the door is A thin plate-like member inserted between the mounting base surface of the rotating side member of the hinge and the edge surface of the door when tilted with respect to the vertical line passing through the pivot pin of the hinge, and mounting the rotating side member A bolt relief groove having a width dimension for fitting the bolt for use and penetrating in the plate thickness direction is formed in a straight line along the insertion direction.

Since the door tilt correction tool of the present invention is a thin plate-like member in which a relief groove for a hinge mounting bolt is formed, the manufacture can be performed very easily and inexpensively. Further, in use, after aligning the inlet portion of the bolt relief groove and the mounting bolt, it is only inserted into the gap between the mounting base surface of the rotation side member of the hinge and the edge surface of the door. The work procedure is extremely simplified, and the operation for correcting the tilt of the door can be easily performed.

The door tilt correction tool is manufactured in a thin plate shape using a rigid material such as a metal plate or engineering plastic. Depending on how much the actual rotation center axis of the door is tilted with respect to the vertical line passing through the pivot pin of the hinge, the tilt correction tool may be used alone or in combination. In addition, the thickness of the inclination correction tool can be appropriately increased or decreased, and a plurality of types of plate thicknesses can be prepared and used, and those having the optimum plate thickness can be used alone or in combination.
In use, the free end side of the door is lifted and moved so that the actual center axis of rotation of the door is aligned with the vertical line passing through the pivot pin of the hinge. It is inserted into the gap generated between the door edge surface. In this insertion process, the hinge mounting bolt apparently passes through the bolt relief groove, and the tilt correction tool is inserted accurately without being obstructed by the mounting bolt.

In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 5, and 7, the inclination correction tool 1 is made of a thin metal plate, and the outer peripheral contour of the inclination correction tool 1 is the rotation side member 4 of the hinge 3. The outer peripheral contour of the mounting base surface 5 is matched. In this embodiment, there are three upper, middle and lower bolts 9 for attaching the hinge 3, so that the inclination correction tool 1 is formed with three bolt escape grooves 2 in the lateral direction.
The tilt correction tool 1 is inserted from the side surface direction of the hinge 3 into a gap 8 formed between the mounting base surface 5 of the rotation side member 4 and the edge surface 7 of the door 6. In this insertion process, the three mounting bolts 9 of the rotation side member 4 apparently pass through the respective bolt relief grooves 2 of the inclination correction tool 1.

In this embodiment, a stopper notch 10 is formed at the inner end of each bolt relief groove 2. When the inclination correction tool 1 is pushed up slightly obliquely at the stage where the inclination correction tool 1 is inserted to the final position where the outer periphery outline of the inclination correction tool 1 substantially overlaps the outer periphery outline of the mounting base surface 5 of the rotation side member 4, each bolt escapes. Since the mounting bolt 9 is engaged with the notch 10 of the groove 2, the inclination correction tool 1 is prevented from being removed. In the illustrated embodiment, the stopper notch 10 is provided on the upper side of the bolt relief groove 2, but it can also be provided on the lower side. If necessary, the tilt correction tool 1 can be clamped between the mounting base surface 5 of the rotation side member 4 and the edge surface 7 of the door 6 by tightening the mounting bolt 9.

The hinge 3 is an automatic lifting type hinge. The lower cam body 12 is fitted to the fixed side member 11, and the lower cam pair 12 is fixed to the fixed side member 11 so as not to be relatively rotatable. A lower portion of the pivot pin 14 is rotatably inserted into the shaft hole 13 of the lower cam body 12. An upper cam 15 is fitted in an intermediate portion of the pivot pin 14, and the pivot pin 14 is fixed to the upper cam body 15 so as not to be relatively rotatable. The upper cam body 15 is rotatably fitted to the stationary member 11, and the lower inclined cam surface 16 of the upper cam body 15 is in contact with the upper inclined cam surface 17 of the lower cam body 12. The upper portion of the pivot pin 14 is fitted in the shaft hole 18 of the rotation side member 4 so as not to be relatively rotatable.
By incorporating the cam mechanism, the door 6 automatically rises to a fixed height when the door is rotated to open, and automatically descends when the door is closed and rotated.

  The mounting bolt 9 of the rotating side member 4 is inserted into the mounting hole 21 of the rotating side member 4 through the washer plate 20 from the front opening portion 19 of the rotating side member 4, and the screw shaft portion of the mounting bolt 9 is the outer shell of the door 6. It is inserted into the inner space of the door 6 through the through hole 23 of the wall 22. The screw shaft portion is screwed into a screw hole 25 of a nut body 24 embedded and fixed on the inner surface of the outer wall 22. The inner space of the door 6 surrounded by the outer wall 22 is filled with a filler 26 such as polystyrene foam by a conventional method. The front opening portion 19 of the rotation side member 4 is closed by elastic fitting of the cover body 27 after completion of the mounting of the rotation side member 4.

The mounting bolt 28 of the fixed side member 11 is inserted into the mounting hole 29 of the fixed side member 11, and the screw shaft portion of the mounting bolt 28 passes through the through hole 32 of the outer wall 31 of the fixed frame body 30. It is inserted into the inner space. The screw shaft portion is screwed into a screw hole 34 of a nut body 33 embedded and fixed on the inner surface of the outer wall 31. The inner space of the fixed frame 30 surrounded by the outer wall 31 is filled with a filler 35 such as polystyrene foam by a conventional method.

In another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 2, 4, and 6, the tilt correction tool 1 is made of a thin metal plate, and the outer peripheral contour of the tilt correction tool 1 is the mounting base of the rotation side member 4 of the hinge 3. Aligned with the outer contour of the surface 5. Only one bolt escape groove 2 is formed in the center of the tilt correction tool 1 in the vertical direction.
The tilt correction tool 1 is inserted into the gap 8 formed between the mounting base surface 5 of the rotation side member 4 and the edge surface 7 of the door 6 from the upper surface direction of the hinge 3. In this insertion process, the upper, middle, and lower three mounting bolts 9 of the hinge 3 apparently pass through the single bolt relief groove 2 of the inclination correction tool 1.

When the tilt correction tool 1 is inserted to the final position where the outer peripheral contour of the tilt correction tool 1 overlaps the outer peripheral contour of the mounting base surface 5 of the rotation side member 4, the uppermost mounting bolt 9 apparently appears in the bolt escape groove 2. It reaches the end. As described above, since the uppermost mounting bolt 9 is engaged with the inner end portion of the vertically long bolt escape groove 2, the tilt correction tool 1 is prevented from falling off. If necessary, the tilt correction tool 1 can be clamped between the mounting base surface 5 of the rotation side member 4 and the edge surface 7 of the door 6 by tightening the mounting bolt 9. Since other configurations are the same as those in the above embodiment, repeated description is omitted.
The structure and operation type of the hinge are not limited to those described above, and the door tilt correction tool of the present invention can be applied to various hinges and door mounting portions.
