  • Patent number: 10739062
    Abstract: A refrigeration appliance includes a case body and a door to be connected to the case body for sliding forwards and backwards. The door includes a front wall, a rear wall spaced from the front wall, a side wall interconnecting the front and rear walls, and an accommodating space formed and enclosed by the front, rear the side walls and filled with a heat insulation material. A power and/or signal transmission apparatus passes through a through hole in the rear wall and includes cables. A cable guiding member located in the accommodating space is used for guiding the cables. Not only can the cables be fixed conveniently and prevented from being stacked randomly in the accommodating space, but the cable guiding member can also guide the cables and provide conditions for power supply for wiring in the door.

  • Patent number: 10575639
    Abstract: A household appliance includes a connection mechanism fixing a door and a main body. The connection mechanism includes first and second components fixed by first and second fixing mechanisms. The first mechanism includes a first fixing member, a first hole on the first component and a second hole on the second component. The second mechanism includes a second fixing member, third holes elongated in a second direction at intervals on the first component and fourth holes at intervals in a first direction on the second component. When the second fixing member passes through a third hole and a fourth hole, the third and fourth holes define a distance between centers of remaining third holes and centers of remaining fourth holes in the first direction. The fourth holes adjust positions relative to the third holes in the second direction, causing the first and second components to relatively rotate.
