[0024] A shelf is a support frame for placing items, especially a shelf for placing items in a storage compartment of a refrigerator or other refrigeration equipment or a wine cabinet or wardrobe. The shelf is generally made of glass. In order to clearly see the items stored on the shelf, a lighting function is usually added to the shelf to facilitate users to see the items. In the prior art, in order to achieve lighting, it is necessary to arrange circuits in the shelf for electrical connection, which is complicated to manufacture and has a high cost.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a shelf 10, which includes a shelf body 101, and the shelf body 101 includes a shelf surface 102 and a bottom surface 103 that are relatively arranged; the shelf 10 also includes a conductive coating 104, and the conductive coating 104 is at least arranged on the shelf surface 102 and / or the bottom surface 103.

[0026] The shelf 10 of the embodiment of the present application has a shelf surface 102 and a bottom surface 103 that are relatively arranged. A conductive coating 104 is provided on at least the shelf surface 102 and the bottom surface 103, so that the shelf 10 is upgraded to a conductive shelf. After electrical connection is made, the shelf 10 can be powered on without the need for wire arrangement and connection. The circuit layout is simple. The conductive coating 104 can be formed on the shelf surface 102 and / or the bottom surface 103 by printing, and the process is simple and the cost is low.

[0027] In other embodiments, a conductive coating 104 may be provided on each side surface connecting the shelf surface 102 and the bottom surface 103. The shelf 10 may be in the form of an integral shelf or a split shelf.

[0028] The conductive coating 104 may be made of a transparent conductive material (TCM), which refers to a material having a conductivity close to that of metal and a high transmittance in the visible light region. In other embodiments, the conductive coating 104 may also include other materials.

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present application, the shelf 10 further includes a light emitting component 105 embedded in the shelf body 101 , and the light emitting component 105 is electrically connected to the conductive coating 104 .

[0030] The material of the shelf body 101 can be ultra-white glass, and the light-emitting component 105 can be embedded in two oppositely disposed ultra-white glasses, or embedded in a single ultra-white glass. The preferred method of arranging the light-emitting component 105 in this application is to embed it in a single ultra-white glass, specifically, to embed the light-emitting component 105 in a single ultra-white glass during the molding and casting process of the single ultra-white glass. This design method does not require the single ultra-white glass to be edge-molded, and the process is simple while the production efficiency is high and the cost is low. The light-emitting component 105 is electrically connected to the conductive coating 104, and when the shelf 10 is powered on, the light-emitting component 105 realizes lighting.

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the conductive coating 104 is 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. The thickness of the conductive coating 104 can be 0.2 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.32 mm, 0.38 mm, 0.42 mm, 0.5 mm, etc., or a range of any two of the above values, for example, 0.2 mm to 0.32 mm, 0.32 mm to 0.5 mm.

[0032] According to an embodiment of the present application, the light emitting component 105 includes lamp beads and / or lamp strips. Figure 3 or Figure 4 , Figure 3The middle light emitting component 105 is designed as a lamp bead. Figure 4 The light-emitting component 105 is designed as a light strip. Since a large area of ​​conductive coating 104 is provided on the shelf surface 102 and the bottom surface 103 of the shelf 10, the conductive coating 104 can be formed on the shelf surface 102 and / or the bottom surface 103 by printing, and the conductive coating 104 is used to realize the electrical connection between the light-emitting component 105 and the external circuit. After the shelf 10 is powered on, the lighting function of the internal light-emitting component 105 can be realized. Therefore, the arrangement of the light-emitting component 105 is not limited by the arrangement of the wires. The light-emitting component 105 can be arranged arbitrarily according to actual needs, and the manufacturing process is simple and the cost is low. In other embodiments, the light-emitting component 105 can also be other lighting components embedded in the shelf 10.

[0033] Another technical solution adopted by the present application is to provide a refrigeration device 20, which includes a box body 21 and the shelf 10 as described above, and the shelf 10 is movably arranged in the box body 21. The shelf 10 is movably arranged in the box body 21, and the shelf 10 can be assembled in the box body 21 or disassembled from the box body 21 according to user needs. The refrigeration device 20 can be a refrigerator, etc.

[0034] According to one embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 3 The box body 21 includes a back wall 211 and a first side wall 212 and a second side wall 213 that are arranged opposite to each other. The back wall 211 faces the opening of the box body 21. The first side wall 212 is located on one side of the back wall 211. The second side wall 213 is located on the other side of the back wall 211. The back wall 211 includes an electrode card slot 22 extending along a first direction x. The first side wall 212 includes a first slide groove 2121 extending along a second direction y, and the second side wall 213 includes a second slide groove 2131 extending along the second direction y. The first slide groove 2121 and the second slide groove 2131 are used for the shelf 10 to slide into the electrode card slot 22 along the second direction y. An electrode 221 is arranged in the electrode card slot 22. The electrode 221 is used to be electrically connected to the conductive coating 104. The first direction x is perpendicular to the second direction y.

[0035] Specifically, the refrigeration device 20 has a box body 21, and the box body 21 includes three surfaces: a back wall 211 opened toward the box body 21, a first side wall 212 located on one side of the back wall 211, and a second side wall 213 located on the other side of the back wall 211. The shelf 10 slides into the first slide groove 2121 and the second slide groove 2131 respectively arranged on the first side wall 212 and the second side wall 213 along the second direction y, so that one end of the shelf 10 is clamped in the electrode clamping groove 22, thereby fixing the shelf 10 on the box body 21. Among them, an electrode 221 is arranged inside the electrode clamping groove 22. When the shelf 10 is clamped in the electrode clamping groove 22, the conductive coating 104 of the shelf 10 on the surface of the placing surface 102 and the bottom surface 103 is electrically connected to the electrode 221, and at this time, the light-emitting component 105 electrically connected to the conductive coating 104 is powered on to play a lighting role. The operation of assembling the fixed shelf 10 in the embodiment of the present application is simple, and the lighting function of the light-emitting component 105 can be realized at the same time.

[0036] According to one embodiment of the present application, the electrode slot 22 includes a slot 222 arranged relative to the shelf 10, and the width of the slot 222 gradually decreases along the direction from the back wall 211 to the opening of the box body 21; or, the width of the slot 222 first gradually decreases along the direction from the back wall 211 to the opening of the box body 21, and then gradually increases; or, the width of the slot 222 first gradually decreases along the direction from the back wall 211 to the opening of the box body 21, then remains unchanged, and then gradually increases.

[0037] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , the width specified by the dotted arrow is the width of the slot 222. The width shape of the slot 222 provided in the electrode slot 22 relative to the shelf 10 is not limited. Along the direction from the back wall 211 to the opening of the box body 21, the width shape of the slot 222 can be designed to be gradually reduced so that the electrode slot 22 can firmly clamp the shelf 10; or along the direction from the back wall 211 to the opening of the box body 21, the width shape of the slot 222 can be gradually reduced first, and then gradually increased, so that the shelf 10 can be smoothly clamped from the larger slot 222; or along the direction from the back wall 211 to the opening of the box body 21, the width shape of the slot 222 can be gradually reduced first, then remain unchanged, and then gradually increased, so that the shelf 10 can be smoothly clamped from the larger slot 222 while being stably clamped in the electrode slot 22.

[0038] According to one embodiment of the present application, the electrode slot 22 includes a first slot wall 223 and a second slot wall 224 that are arranged opposite to each other, and the first slot wall 223 and the second slot wall 224 are arranged along the height direction z of the refrigeration device 20. The electrode 221 includes a positive electrode 2211 and a negative electrode 2212, and the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 are both located on the first slot wall 223 or the second slot wall 224, or, one of the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 is located on the first slot wall 223, and the other is located on the second slot wall 224.

[0039] Specific reference Figure 5 The electrode slot 22 has a first slot wall 223 and a second slot wall 224 that are arranged oppositely in the height direction z, and one of the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 is located on the first slot wall 223, and the other is located on the second slot wall 224. When the shelf 10 slides along the first slide groove 2121 and the second slide groove 2131 that are respectively arranged on the first side wall 212 and the second side wall 213 on both sides in the second direction y, and is clamped in the electrode slot 22 from the notch 222, the conductive coating 104 on the surface of the shelf surface 102 and the bottom surface 103 is respectively connected to the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 to achieve electrical connection. At this time, the light-emitting component 105 that is electrically connected to the conductive coating 104 is connected to the power supply and plays a lighting role. The action of assembling and fixing the shelf 10 in the embodiment of the present application is simple, and lighting is achieved at the same time, and the manufacturing cost is low.

[0040] In other embodiments, the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 are both located in the first slot wall 223. When the shelf 10 slides in the second direction y along the first slide groove 2121 and the second slide groove 2131 respectively arranged on the first side wall 212 and the second side wall 213 on both sides, and is clamped in the electrode slot 22 from the groove 222, the conductive coating 104 on the surface of the shelf 102 connects the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 to achieve electrical connection, and the light-emitting component 105 plays a lighting role.

[0041] Or the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 are both located in the second slot wall 224, when the shelf 10 slides along the first slide groove 2121 and the second slide groove 2131 respectively arranged on the first side wall 212 and the second side wall 213 on both sides in the second direction y, and is clamped in the electrode slot 22 from the notch 222, the conductive coating 104 on the bottom surface 103 connects the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 to achieve electrical connection, and the light-emitting component 105 plays a lighting role. The arrangement of the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 is not limited here.

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present application, the electrode slot 22 includes a first position a and a second position b. The positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 are both located at the first position a, that is, the second position b may not include the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212. The second position b is closer to the notch 222 relative to the first position a.

[0043] Specific reference Figure 5 The position of the electrode slot 22 near the notch 222 or near the shelf 10 is the second position b. When the shelf 10 is clamped at the second position b from the notch 222 along the second direction y, the shelf 10 is fixedly assembled on the box body 21. Since the second position b does not include the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212, the conductive coating 104 on the surface of the shelf surface 102 and the bottom surface 103 will not contact the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212, and the electrical connection is not achieved. The light-emitting component 105 will not emit light. At this time, the shelf 10 can be used as an ordinary shelf. For example, when lighting is not needed during the day, the shelf 10 can be clamped at the second position b to save electricity.

[0044] The electrode slot 22 has a first position a at a position deeper than the slot 222. When the shelf 10 is clamped at the first position a from the slot 222 along the second direction y, the shelf 10 is fixedly assembled on the box body 21. Since the first position a includes the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212, the conductive coating 104 on the surface of the shelf surface 102 and the bottom surface 103 will contact the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 to achieve electrical connection, and the light-emitting component 105 will emit light. At this time, the shelf 10 can achieve lighting, which is convenient for users to see objects and improves user experience.

[0045] According to one embodiment of the present application, the box body 21 includes a first side wall 212 and a second side wall 213 that are arranged opposite to each other, the first side wall 212 includes a first slide groove 2121 extending along the second direction y, the second side wall 213 includes a second slide groove 2131 extending along the second direction y, the electrode 221 includes a positive electrode 2211 and a negative electrode 2212, the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 are both located in the first slide groove 2121 or the second slide groove 2131, or, one of the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 is located in the first slide groove 2121, and the other is located in the second slide groove 2131, the first slide groove 2121 and the second slide groove 2131 are used for the shelf 10 to slide along the second direction y and for the conductive coating 104 to be electrically connected to the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212.

[0046] Specifically, the electrode 221 is not limited to be set in the electrode slot 22 of the back wall 211. In this embodiment, the electrode 221 is set in the first side wall 212 and the second side wall 213 that are relatively set. Specifically, the electrode 221 is set in the first slide groove 2121 and the second slide groove 2131 extending along the second direction y. When the shelf 10 slides along the first slide groove 2121 and the second slide groove 2131 in the second direction y, the conductive coating 104 on the shelf surface 102 and the bottom surface 103 will contact the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 in the first slide groove 2121 and the second slide groove 2131, and the electrical connection is quickly realized. The light-emitting component 105 emits light to achieve the lighting effect, thereby improving the user experience. The positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 may be arranged in the first chute 2121 and the second chute 2131 in the following ways: first, both the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 are arranged in the first chute 2121; second, both the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 are arranged in the second chute 2131; third, one of the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 is located in the first chute 2121, and the other is located in the second chute 2131. The arrangement of the positive electrode 2211 and the negative electrode 2212 may be determined according to the specific situation.

[0047] In summary, on the one hand, the present application can upgrade the shelf 10 to a conductive shelf by providing a conductive coating 104 on the shelf surface 102 and the bottom surface 103 that are relatively arranged on the shelf 10. When the electrical connection is made, the shelf 10 can be powered on, and the light-emitting component 105 embedded therein can play a lighting role. The use of the conductive coating 104 makes it unnecessary for the shelf 10 to arrange and connect wires, and the arrangement of the light-emitting component 105 is not restricted by the conductive circuit. The overall circuit layout is simple and the cost is low. On the other hand, the present application preferably provides an electrode slot 22 on the back wall 211 of the refrigeration device 20, and an electrode 221 is provided in the electrode slot 22. When the shelf 10 is clamped in the electrode slot 22, the conductive coating 104 contacts the electrode 221, and an electrical connection can be achieved, so that the shelf 10 can play a lighting role. The electrode slot 22 also includes a first position a and a second position b. The user can freely choose whether to lock the shelf 10 at the first position a or the second position b. Locking at the first position a can realize the lighting of the shelf 10, and locking at the second position b can use the shelf 10 as an ordinary non-luminous shelf to save electricity. In addition, the present application can set electrodes 221 on two opposite side walls of the box body 21, and the shelf 10 can quickly achieve electrical connection when sliding on the side wall.
