【Detailed ways】

In order to have a further understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of the present invention, the following detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the refrigeration appliance includes a door 1 and a hinge assembly 2 connected to the door 1 . One end of the hinge assembly 2 is connected to the door 1, and the other end is connected to the box body 5 of the refrigeration appliance. The hinge assembly 2 is used to realize the rotation of the door 1 relative to the box body 5 .

As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, a cable guide 3 mounted on the hinge assembly 2 is also included, and the cable 4 passes through the cable guide 3 and extends into the door 1. Thus, the cable 4 extends into the door 1 via the hinge assembly 2 .

The "cable 4" in the present invention includes a cable 4 composed of a plurality of wires.

When the cable 4 passes through the hinge assembly 2 , the cable guide 3 guides the cable 4 and then extends into the door 1 . This not only prevents the cables 4 from being scattered when passing through the hinge assembly 2, but also prevents the cables 4 from being damaged due to interference with or crimping of the cables 4 when other assembly elements such as the hinge cover 23 are installed.

The hinge assembly 2 includes a column body 22 that is fixed to the hinge frame 21 and extends upward, and the cable guide 3 includes a mounting portion 31 sleeved on the column body 22 . The mounting portion 31 is sleeved on the column body 22 , so that the cable guide 3 is fixed to the column body 22 .

In a preferred embodiment, the length of the column body 22 in the vertical direction is approximately the same as the length of the installation part 31 in the vertical direction, which enables the column body 22 and the installation part 31 to cooperate better and facilitates the cable guide. The lead 3 is mounted on the hinge frame 21 .

As shown in FIG. 2 , the hinge assembly 2 further includes a hinge frame 21 and a hinge cover 23 located above the hinge frame 21 , and a fixing member 24 fixes the hinge cover 23 to the hinge frame 21 . The column body 22 includes an upwardly open mounting hole 25, and the fixing member 24 passes through the hinge cover 23 and penetrates into the mounting hole 25.

In a preferred embodiment, the fasteners 24 are screws.

As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the hinge assembly 2 has a first end 27 proximate the door 1 and a second end 28 opposite the first end 27 and an end remote from the door 1.

The hinge assembly 2 also includes a hinge shaft 26 connected to the first end 27 of the hinge frame 21 , and the hinge shaft 26 is connected to the door 1 . The cable guide 3 is fixed to the second end 28 of the hinge frame 21 away from the hinge shaft 26 . The cable 4 via the cable guide 3 extends into the door 1 through the hinge shaft 26.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , the cable guide 3 includes a receiving portion 32 for receiving the cable 4 and an insertion portion 33 for inserting the receiving portion 32 of the cable 4 through which the cable 4 is inserted The cable guide 3 is also accommodated in the accommodating portion 32 .

The accommodating portion 32 and the mounting portion 31 are arranged side by side on the plane where the hinge frame 21 extends. In one embodiment, the receiving portion 32 is located at an end away from the hinge shaft 26, and the mounting portion 31 is located at an end close to the hinge shaft 26.

Wherein, the vertical section of the accommodating portion 32 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the cable in the hinge frame 21, which not only facilitates the cable 4 to be inserted into the cable guide 3, but also facilitates the cable guide 3 to connect the cables 4, so that the cable 4 is kept neat on the hinge assembly 2.

Along the extending direction of the cable 4 in the hinge frame 21, the accommodating portion 32 is an open hole, that is, a hole with an opening on one side.

The insertion portion 33 is located at one end of the accommodating portion 32 away from the mounting portion 31 . Therefore, when the cable is inserted from the insertion portion 33, it is not affected by the mounting portion 31, and the insertion of the cable 4 is facilitated.

As shown, the insertion portion 33 is formed by an opening on one side of the accommodating portion 32, and the diameter of the opening is slightly smaller or smaller than the diameter of the cable. When the cable is assembled, the cable 4 is squeezed and passed through the opening and then into the receiving portion 32 . After the cable is accommodated in the accommodating portion 32, since the diameter of the cable 4 is smaller than the diameter of the opening, the cable 4 will not protrude through the opening. Therefore, the cable 4 can be reliably fixed in the cable guide 3, which facilitates assembly.

The cable guide 3 is made of elastic material, which makes the cable guide 3 have good elasticity and facilitates the cable 4 to be squeezed through the insertion portion 33 .

As shown in FIG. 6 , in the direction from the mounting portion 31 to the accommodating portion 32 , the opening has a “V” shape. And in the direction from the mounting part 31 to the accommodating part 32, the distance from the upper cantilever 34 to the lower cantilever 35 is larger and larger. This not only facilitates the extrusion of the cable 4 through the opening into the receiving portion 32, but also better prevents the cable 4 from protruding from the receiving portion 32 after the cable 4 enters the receiving portion 32.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , the cable guide 3 includes an upper cantilever 34 symmetrically arranged in the height direction and a lower cantilever 35 located below the upper cantilever 34. Wherein, the upper cantilever 34 extends in the horizontal direction and is bent downward to form a lower bent portion, the lower cantilever 35 extends in the horizontal direction and is bent upward to form an upper bent portion, and the insertion portion 33 is located at the upper bent portion and the lower bent portion between.

As shown in Fig. 6, the wall thicknesses of the upper cantilever 34 and the lower cantilever 35 are gradually reduced along the bending direction, so that the cantilever has better deformability. The cable 4 deforms the upper cantilever 34 and the lower cantilever 35 under the action of an external force and enters the accommodating portion 32 . After entering the accommodating portion 32 , the relatively closed space formed by the upper cantilever 34 and the lower cantilever 35 serves to fix the cables 4 and prevent the cables 4 from being scattered.

The present invention has been described by the above-mentioned related embodiments, however, the above-mentioned embodiments are only examples for implementing the present invention. It must be pointed out that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. On the contrary, changes and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention belong to the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
