Description

Slide rail mechanism and refrigerator having the same

The present application claims the priority of the Chinese patent application entitled "Sliding Rail Mechanism and Refrigerator Having the Same" as the application date is May 25, 2016, the application number is 201610355663.4, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. .

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of home appliances, and in particular to a slide rail mechanism and a refrigerator having the same.

Background technique

At present, the three-section slide rails on the market mainly have the following problems in practical applications: First, noise is generated during use: the existing three-section slide rails are run first on the upper rail, and the upper rail is used when the upper rail travel distance reaches the pole. Colliding with the limit device of the middle rail to pull out the middle rail; also adopting the contact device of the middle rail and the lower rail to contact the collision, reaching the pole where the middle rail is pulled; and the limiting device is on the upper rail and the middle rail The noise of "蹬, 蹬" is generated in the contact between the middle rail and the lower rail, which brings high-frequency noise to the user. Secondly, the left and right sway is generated during the use process: the existing three-section slide rail adopts the paired mode in the practical application, and adopts the operation mode described above, and the transmission between the three sections of the slide rail adopts a plurality of steel balls as the inter-rail slide device. Therefore, the three sections of slide rails cannot be locked with each other, and the space for expansion and contraction is reserved in front and rear. In actual use, the force of pulling out and the direction of the running force of the rail are not on the center line of the slide rail, resulting in a pair of three sections. The surface of the device that the slide rail pulls out will appear in tandem and any position after pulling out. When the force of the two sides is different, the phenomenon of shaking left and right will occur, which brings potential safety hazards to the user.

The existing three-section slide rails on the market are affected by cost, standard process control and reliability. The gap between the upper rail and the lower rail is generally 2 mm. In the prior art, as an example of the invention patent application of the application No. CN201410372586.4, a synchronization mechanism can be added to the three-section slide rail to realize synchronous entry and exit of the slide rails on both sides, and the steering member of the synchronization mechanism includes a base. The base must be mounted on the middle rail to achieve the desired simultaneous mute effect, that is, the base needs to be installed in a 2mm gap. In addition, in order to ensure the strength of the base, the size of the connecting portion of the base and the middle rail is not too small, and is preferably set to a height of 1.8 mm, so that the distance between the upper rail and the connecting portion is substantially 0.1 mm, the distance between the lower rail and the connecting portion is also approximately 0.1 mm. In actual application, as the number of use of the three-section slide increases, the inner steel ball and the upper rail, the lower rail and the middle rail are prone to wear, resulting in a gradual decrease in the gap between the upper rail and the lower rail, due to the upper rail and the lower rail. The distance between the rail and the base connecting portion is extremely small. At this time, the reduction of the gap distance easily causes interference between the upper rail and/or the lower rail and the base connecting portion, and even a jam occurs. Therefore, there are problems in the reliability of the three-section slide rail in the prior art.

At the rear end, the limiting seat 51 is located at an intermediate portion of the front steering member 211 and the rear steering member 212. Here, when one auxiliary middle rail assembly 5 has only one screw rod 52, the front steering member 211 and the rear steering member 212 are respectively located at the front end and the rear end of the same screw rod 52, and the screw rod 52 drives the front steering member 211 and the rear steering. The pieces 212 move together; when one auxiliary middle rail assembly 5 has more than one screw 52, for example, when the auxiliary middle rail assembly 5 has two screw rods 52, the front steering member 211 is located at the front end of one of the screw rods 52, The diverting member 212 is located at the rear end of the other screw 52 therein. It should be noted that the limiting seat 51 is located at an intermediate portion of the front steering member 211 and the rear steering member 212, and the limiting seat 51 is located at a movement path of the rear steering member 212. In order to ensure that the rear steering member 212 can smoothly move forward, the limiting seat 51 is preferably disposed near the front end region of the three-section rail.

In the present embodiment, the front steering member 211 includes a first front steering member 211a and a second front steering member 211b respectively disposed on the first rail assembly 1a and the second rail assembly 1b, and the rear steering member 212 The first rear steering member 212a and the second rear steering member 212b are respectively disposed on the first rail assembly 1a and the second rail assembly 1b.

6, the front steering member 211 is disposed such that the tensioning member 23 is divided into an upper tensioning member 231 and a lower layer tensioning member 232 after passing through the front steering member 211, and the rear steering member 212 includes the The upper layer tensioning member 231 and the lower layer tensioning member 232 cooperate with the upper steering member 2121 and the lower steering member 2122. The upper layer tensioning member 231 and the lower layer tensioning member 232 pass through the upper steering member 2121 of one of the rail assemblies 1. The lower steering member 2122 extends rearwardly to the lower steering member 2122 and the upper steering member 2121 fixed to the other rail assembly 1, respectively, and is respectively located on the upper rail 11 and the lower rail 13 of the two sets of the slide rail assemblies 1 in a cross-linking manner.

The front steering member 211 is a wheel (not labeled) for the tensioning member 23 to be vertically mounted, and the upper steering member 2121 and the lower steering member 2122 are roulettes for the tensioning member 23 to bypass. (not shown), which is mounted horizontally, the highest position of the tensioning member 23 on the front steering member 211 and the position of the tensioning member 23 on the upper steering member 2121. The upper tensioning member 231 is parallel to the screw rod 52; the tensioning member 23 is located at a lowest position of the front steering member 211 and a position parallel to the screw rod 52 at a position of the lower steering member 2122.

The mechanism 100 can pull the drawer out of the effective length of the case.

When the rail assembly 1 is fully opened, the rear portion of the upper rail 11 partially overlaps the front portion of the middle rail 12, while the rear portion of the middle rail 12 and the front portion of the lower rail 13 have portions. The overlap is to enhance the stability of the slide assembly 1 when it is in an open state, preventing the drawer from shaking. Preferably, the distance of the upper fixing member 221 from the rear end of the upper rail 11 is half of the distance from the rear end of the upper rail 11 to the front end of the middle rail 12 when the upper rail 11 and the middle rail 12 are fully opened; the lower fixing The distance of the piece 222 from the front end of the lower rail 13 is half of the distance from the rear end of the lower rail 13 to the front end of the middle rail 12 when the lower rail 13 and the middle rail 12 are fully opened, and does not affect the drawer mechanism 100. The effective length of the box is pulled out, and the steering member 21 and the fixing member 22 can be prevented from colliding or rubbing, and the service life is prolonged. When the slide rail assembly 1 is fully opened, assuming that the distance from the rear end of the upper rail 11 to the front end of the middle rail 12 is L, the distance of the upper fixing member 221 from the rear end of the upper rail 11 is L/2; the rear end of the middle rail 12 to the lower rail The distance between the front end of the 13 is M, and the distance between the lower fixing member 222 and the front end of the lower rail 13 is M/2.

The tensioning member 23 is wound between the fixing members 22 of the two rail assemblies 1 through the front steering member 211 and the rear steering member 212 and forms a circuit, that is, the tensioning member 23 passes through the front steering member 211 and the rear steering member The member 212 changes direction to connect the upper fixing member 221 and the lower fixing member 222. In the present invention, the forming of the circuit means that the two portions of the front side and the rear side of the tensioning member 23 are closely connected by the fixing member 22 without a break point; the tensioning member 23 is located at the same fixing member. The two portions of the front side and the rear side are fixed to the same rail, and there is no steering member 21 between the two fixing points. Of course, in the specific embodiment of the present invention, the loop may not be formed according to specific conditions.

The upper upper fixing member 221b is divided into three sections by the three fixing members 22: the first front steering member 211a and the first lower fixing member 222a and the first upper fixing member 221a are connected. a tightening member sequentially passes through the first rear steering member 212a, the second rear steering member 212b and the second front steering member 211b and connects the second tensioning members of the first upper fixing member 221a and the second upper fixing member 221b, in turn The second rearward deflecting member 212b and the first rear deflecting member 212a are connected to the second upper fixing member 221b and the third tensioning member of the first lower fixing member 222a. The first tensioning member, the second tensioning member and the third tensioning member are coupled to each other by the fixing member 22 to form a closed loop.

When the drawer is pulled, when the first upper rail 11a is pulled outward by the distance a, the upper tension member 231 of the first rail assembly 1a passes through the first front steering member 211a and the first rear steering member 212a to the lower layer. The tensioning member 232 transmits the distance a, and the distance between the first front steering member 211a and the second rear steering member 212b of the tensioning member 23 is fixed, so the lower tensioning member 232 of the second sliding rail assembly 1b The second front steering member 211b, the second rear steering member 212b and the first rear steering member 212a are driven to the upper tensioning member 231 of the first rail assembly 1a by a distance a; and because the second front steering member 211b and the second rear portion The distance between the deflecting members 212b is fixed, so that the upper tensioning member 231 of the second rail assembly 1b is driven by the lower layer tensioning member 232 by a distance a while the lower layer tensioning member 232 of the first rail assembly 1a passes the first The front steering member 211a, the first rear steering member 212a and the second front steering member 211b, and the second rear steering member 212b are transmitted to the upper tension member 231 of the second rail assembly 1b. Moving distance a.

At the same time, the lengths of the first tensioning member, the second tensioning member and the third tensioning member are fixed. When the drawer is pulled, when the upper rail 11 of the first rail assembly 1a is pulled outward by the distance a, the upper tensioning member 231 of the first rail assembly 1a is driven by the lower layer tensioning member 232 by a distance, The lower tensioning member 232 of the second rail assembly 1b is driven to the upper layer tensioning member 231 of the first rail assembly 1a by a distance a, and the upper layer tensioning member 231 of the second rail assembly 1b is moved to the lower layer of the second rail assembly 1b. The clamping member 232 transmits the distance a, so that the second upper rail 11b also pulls out the distance a. At the same time, the lower tensioning member 232 of the first rail assembly 1a is transmitted to the upper tensioning member 231 of the second rail assembly 1b by a distance a. Since the length of the third tensioning member is fixed, the second rear steering member 212b Pull forward.

The same distance in the same direction.

Here, compared to the embodiment without the tensioning sleeve 24, the length of the tensioning member 23 between the two rear turning members 212 is greater than the distance between the two rear turning members 212; it is easy to install, and there is no need to worry about The tensioning member 23 is slackened in other portions of the tensioning sleeve 24. In addition, in order to facilitate the installation of the tensioning member 23, a long tensioning member 23 is generally provided. When the tensioning member 23 is assembled to the fixing member 22 and the steering member 21, the tensioning member 23 is easily in a relaxed state. The adjustment of the adjusting member 4 can effectively adjust the tightness of the other tensioning members 23 outside the tensioning sleeve 24, so that the other tensioning members 23 outside the tensioning sleeve 24 are always kept in a tight state, thereby improving synchronization and stability.

In a specific example of the invention, the adjustment assembly 4 is mounted in the rear diverting member 212 of the second rail assembly 1b, and there is no adjustment assembly in the rear steering member of the first rail assembly 1a, of course, in other examples In order to improve the adjustment range and the convenience of adjustment, the adjustment assembly 4 may also be disposed in both of the rear steering members 212.

The rear steering member 212 is fixed to the rear end of the screw rod 52 through the base 213. On the side of the first rail assembly 1a, a fixing collar 25 is disposed between the tension sleeve 24 and the base 213 of the tensioning member 23. The fixing collar 25 is perpendicular to the screw rod 52, the portion of the tensioning member 23 in the fixing collar 25 and the portion of the steering member 212 extending from the portion through the rear steering member 212 and adjacent to the rear steering member 212 A portion is vertically and in the same plane, so that the tensioning member 23 can run smoothly and effortlessly during the opening or closing of the sliding rail; at the same time, the tensioning member 23 can be reduced to move around the rear steering member 212. Wear and extend life.

On the side of the second rail assembly 1b, as shown in FIG. 12, the adjustment assembly 4 is located in the base 213, and the adjustment assembly 4 includes an upper adjustment assembly 4a and a lower adjustment assembly 4b, and an upper adjustment assembly 4a and upper The diverting member 2121 is adapted to adjust the length of the tensioning member 23 passing through the upper diverting member 2121. The lower adjusting member 4b cooperates with the lower diverting member 2122 for adjusting the tensioning member 23 passing through the lower diverting member 2121. length. below. The following adjustment assembly 4b is taken as an example to detail the structure of the adjustment assembly.

As shown in FIG. 13 , the pedestal 213 has a first opening 2131 and a second opening 2132 which are perpendicular to each other and are electrically connected to each other. The end of the tension sleeve 24 is located at the second opening 2132 and is disposed through The tensioning member 23 in the tension sleeve 24 passes through the lower diverting member 2122 from the second opening 2132 and extends to the first opening 2131, and is extended by the first opening 2131 to be fixed to the fixing member 22. It should be noted that the first opening 2131 and the second opening 2132 of the upper adjusting component 4a and the lower adjusting component 4b may be mutually isolated openings to avoid stringing.

Specifically, the adjusting component 4 includes a latching member 41 and a synchronous top spring 42 for driving the latching member 41. The base 213 is formed with a first convex portion 2133, and the latching member 41 has a hollow structure, and A second protrusion 411 is formed on the inner wall of the latching member 41. The first protrusion 2133 and the second protrusion 411 are surrounded by a receiving cavity (not labeled), and the synchronous top spring 42 is just right. Placed in the receiving cavity. Here, the first convex portion 2133 and the second convex portion 411 are in a completely closed structure, and the tensioning member 23 may sequentially pass through the second convex portion 411, the first convex portion 2133, the lower steering member 2122, and extend to the first opening 2131. At the office.

The synchronous top spring 42 has a first end 421 and a second end 422 disposed opposite to each other, and the tension sleeve 24 has a close proximity to the synchronous spring The first end portion 241 abuts the first convex portion 2133, and the second end 422 and the first end portion 241 abut the two of the second convex portion 411 side. Here, since the diameter of the tension sleeve 24 is larger than the diameter of the tension member 23, the tension sleeve 24 can be abutted against the second convex portion 411 by the difference in diameter, and the tension member 23 can pass through the second convex portion 411. .

When the adjusting assembly 4 is in an initial state, the tension sleeve 24 abuts the second convex portion 411, so that the synchronous top spring 42 is restrained in the receiving cavity surrounded by the first convex portion 2133 and the second convex portion 411. Inside, the latch member 41 does not move.

When the adjusting component 4 is in the tightening state, the tensioning sleeve 24 drives the tensioning member 23 to move in the direction A, the tensioning sleeve 24 is disengaged from the second convex portion 411, and at the same time, the second convex portion 411 is opposite to the synchronous spring The force of 42 also disappears. At this time, the synchronous top spring 42 can push the second convex portion 411 to move in the direction A, that is, the synchronous spring 42 drives the latch member 41 to move in the A direction until the second convex portion 411 is again. Resist the tension sleeve 24. Through the above adjustment process, the tensioning member 23 on the left side of the tension sleeve 24 is pulled a distance in the direction A, and the length of the tensioning member 23 between the two rear steering members 212 is greater than between the two rear steering members 212. The distance, that is to say, at this time, the excess length of the tensioning member 23 has been consumed, and the tensioning member 23 is in a taut state at other portions outside the tensioning sleeve 24.

In the embodiment, the synchronization mechanism 2 further includes a tab 26, and the outer wall of the latch member 41 is formed with a plurality of slots 412, and the base 213 is formed with at least one socket 2134 corresponding to the slot 412. The tab 26 passes through the socket 2134 and is inserted into the slot 412 such that the latch member 41 is relatively fixed to the base 213. Here, when it is necessary to adjust the length of the tension member 23, the tab 26 is pulled out so that the latch member 41 can be moved relative to the base 213, and when the adjustment is completed, the tab 26 is inserted to fix the position of the latch member 41.

In the embodiment, the end of the latching member 41 further defines a limiting end 413. The base 213 is formed with a limiting surface 2135 that cooperates with the limiting end 413. When the latching member 41 moves to In the extreme position, the limiting end 413 moves toward the limiting surface 2135 until the limiting end 413 and the limiting surface 2135 interfere with each other. Here, the arrangement of the limiting surface 2135 and the limiting end 413, on the one hand, can prevent the latching member 41 from coming off the base 213 during the movement, and on the other hand, can also limit the movable range of the latching member 41.
