Abstract

A refrigeration device has a first door with an opening and a second door for closing the opening in the first door. A first hinge member has a first connection portion fixed on a main body of the refrigeration device and a first hinged portion connected to the first door. A second hinge member has a second connection portion fixed on the first door and a second hinged portion connected to the second door. The second hinge member includes a columnar portion that is hinged to the first hinged portion. One of the columnar portion and the first hinged portion has a first shaft hole, and the other one has a first hinge shaft that extends into the first shaft hole. The novel device prevents a door body of the refrigeration device from being damaged at a hinged position and the reliability of the refrigeration device is improved.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A refrigeration device, comprising:
a main body;
a first door pivotably mounted on a front side of the main body, the first door having an opening;
a second door pivotably mounted on a front side of the first door and configured to selectively open and close the opening;
a first hinge member having a first connection portion that is fixed on the main body and a first hinged portion that is connected to the first door;
a second hinge member having a second connection portion that is fixed on the first door, a second hinged portion that is connected to the second door, and a columnar portion that is hinged to the first hinged portion, and wherein one of the columnar portion and the first hinged portion is formed with a first shaft hole, and the other of the columnar portion and the first hinged portion includes a first hinge shaft that extends into the first shaft hole; and
a shaft sleeve located within the first shaft hole and an adjustment member for adjusting a height of the first door relative to the main body, the adjustment member being connected to the first hinged portion and located in the shaft sleeve.

2. The refrigeration device according to claim 1 , wherein the columnar portion has the first shaft hole, the first shaft hole is located in the first door, and the first hinged portion comprises the first hinge shaft and extends into the columnar portion.

3. The refrigeration device according to claim 1 , wherein the first shaft hole is a blind hole.

4. The refrigeration device according to claim 1 , wherein the second hinge member is fixed on the bottom of the first door, and the first door is supported on the first hinge member via the second hinge member.

5. The refrigeration device according to claim 1 , wherein the first door comprises a lower door frame member, the lower door frame member has a receiving hole recessed toward the interior of the first door, the columnar portion extends into the receiving hole, and there is an interval between an upper end of the columnar portion and a top wall of the receiving hole.

6. The refrigeration device according to claim 1 , wherein the second connection portion is board-shaped and connected to a bottom surface of the first door.

7. The refrigeration device according to claim 1 , wherein the second hinge member is fixed on the top of the first door.

8. The refrigeration device according to claim 1 , wherein the columnar portion and the second connection portion are integrally formed.

9. The refrigeration device according to claim 1 , wherein the second hinge member further comprises an interval slot between the second hinged portion and the columnar portion, and the interval slot is at least partially located between the first door and the second door.

10. The refrigeration device according to claim 9 , wherein a side of the interval slot that faces toward the first door is open.

11. The refrigeration device according to claim 1 , wherein the second hinged portion is formed with a second shaft hole, the second door comprises a second hinge shaft, and the second hinge shaft is rotatably located in the second shaft hole.

12. The refrigeration device according to claim 1 , wherein the first door and the second door are respectively provided with a slot body, and the slot bodies of the first door and the second door are spliced to form a space accommodating the second hinge member.

13. The refrigeration device according to claim 1 , wherein a lower side of the second hinge member is provided with a first stop portion, the first hinge member is provided with a first limiting portion matched with the first stop portion, and when the first door rotates to a first preset angle, the first stop portion abuts against the first limiting portion to limit a continuous rotation of the first door or the first door and the second door.

14. The refrigeration device according to claim 1 , wherein the second hinge member comprises a second limiting portion, the second door is provided with a second stop portion that is matched with the second limiting position, and when the second door rotates to a second preset angle, the second stop portion is abutted against the second limiting portion to limit continuous rotation of the second door.

15. A refrigeration device, comprising:
a main body;
a first door pivotably mounted to a front side of the main body;
a first hinge member having a first connection portion that is fixed on the main body and a first hinge shaft that is connected to the first door; and
a connection member having a second connection portion that is connected to the bottom of the first door and a columnar portion that extends into the first door, the first hinge shaft extending into the columnar portion, and the first door being supported on the first hinge member via the connection member; and
a shaft sleeve located within a shaft hole formed in the columnar portion and an adjustment member for adjusting a height of the first door relative to the main body, the adjustment member being connected to the first hinge member and located in the shaft sleeve.

16. The refrigeration device according to claim 15 , further comprising a second door, the second door being pivotably mounted on a front side of the first door; and
the connection member being a second hinge member with a second hinged portion hinged to the second door.

17. The refrigeration device according to claim 15 , wherein the first door comprises a lower door frame member formed with a receiving hole that is recessed toward an interior of the first door, the columnar portion extends into the receiving hole, and wherein an interval is formed between an upper end of the columnar portion and a top wall of the receiving hole.
