Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of shelving technology, and more particularly to a folding shelving assembly and a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] Shelves are internal components of a refrigerator. They are placed in different locations within the refrigerator to store food and to categorize various ingredients. Sometimes, food items are too tall to fit on shelves. To improve space utilization and create more storage space, folding shelves are used to store food.

[0003] There are several ways to implement folding shelves, such as connecting the front and rear shelves with hinges or separating them. However, regardless of whether the front and rear shelves are connected by hinges or separated, the shelves cannot be folded flexibly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a folding shelf assembly and a refrigerator to solve the problem of shelves not being able to be folded flexibly.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a folding shelf assembly, comprising:

[0006] A shelf, comprising at least two connecting plates, a first fixing plate, a second fixing plate, and a limiting plate, wherein the two ends of the first fixing plate are connected to one end of the two connecting plates, and the two ends of the second fixing plate are connected to the two connecting plates to form a rectangular structure;

[0007] One side of the limiting plate is connected to the second fixing plate, and both ends of the limiting plate are connected to the two connecting plates to form an open end;

[0008] The rectangular structure is used to place the first glass plate, and the open end is used to place the shelf.

[0009] The limiting plate is provided with a limiting groove, which is used to limit the shelf so that the shelf and the first glass plate are on the same plane;

[0010] The connecting plate is provided with a first receiving groove, and the shelf can move between the first receiving groove and the open end relative to the first glass plate.

[0011] The shelf can move between the first receiving groove and the open end. The shelf can be pulled out from the first receiving groove and moved to the open end, and connected with the limiting groove to achieve the effect of the shelf and the first glass plate being on the same plane. When the shelf needs to be folded, the shelf can be taken out from the limiting groove and moved directly to the first receiving groove, which can achieve flexible folding.

[0012] In some feasible embodiments, the shelf includes a shelf frame and a second glass plate, the shelf frame having an open-shaped structure; one end of the shelf frame connected to the limiting groove is provided with a groove, the groove is connected to the limiting plate, an L-shaped limiting block is provided on the groove, the L-shaped limiting block protrudes from the plane of the shelf frame, the limiting groove extends into the first receiving groove, and the L-shaped limiting block is disposed in the limiting groove.

[0013] By connecting the L-shaped limiting block with the limiting groove, the shelf can be placed flat on the shelf. On the other hand, by moving the shelf up and down, the L-shaped limiting block can flexibly enter and exit the limiting groove, further realizing the flexible folding of the shelf.

[0014] In some feasible embodiments, the connecting plate is provided with a second receiving groove, which is disposed on a shelf away from the first receiving groove. One end of the second receiving groove is connected to the first receiving groove, and the other end of the second receiving groove is arc-shaped and connected to a fixing block. The width of the first receiving groove is greater than the width of the second receiving groove.

[0015] After the shelf is moved to the open end, in order to keep the shelf and the first glass plate on the same plane and make it easier for the user to place food, one end of the shelf is connected to the limiting groove and the other end is connected to the fixing block to keep the entire folding shelf assembly flat.

[0016] In some feasible embodiments, the distance between the side of the limiting groove away from the second fixing plate and one end of the second receiving groove that communicates with the first receiving groove is greater than the width of the limiting plate.

[0017] This provides space to facilitate shelf movement when it is necessary to move the shelf into or out of the limiting groove.

[0018] In some feasible embodiments, a limiting groove is provided at one end of a second receiving groove that is away from the first receiving groove. When the shelf moves to the first receiving groove, the limiting groove is used to limit the L-shaped limiting block.

[0019] When the shelf is folded into the first receiving groove, the shelf is limited by the limiting groove, reducing the possibility of the shelf moving within the first receiving groove.

[0020] In some feasible embodiments, at least a first partition and a second partition are also included. The first partition has an open structure. The first partition is connected to the first receiving groove. The first partition, together with the connecting plate, the first fixing plate, and the second fixing plate, forms a first fixing groove for placing the first glass plate.

[0021] The second partition has the same structure as the shelf frame. The second partition is connected to the second receiving groove. The second partition and the shelf frame form a second fixing groove, which is used to place the second glass plate.

[0022] The first and second partitions provide space for the placement of the first and second glass plates and define their positions so that the first and second glass plates are on the same plane.

[0023] In some feasible embodiments, the second receiving groove is provided with a slide for providing a sliding channel for the shelf.

[0024] When the shelf needs to be moved from the first receiving groove to the open end, one end of the shelf can be moved into the limiting groove by a smaller force through the slide.

[0025] In some feasible embodiments, the shelf is made of plastic and is integrally injection molded. Integral injection molding facilitates flexible placement.

[0026] In some feasible embodiments, the connecting plate has a fixing part on the side away from the first fixing plate, and the fixing part is used to fix the shelf. The fixing part allows the folding shelf assembly to be installed inside equipment such as refrigerators, freezers, and ice bars.

[0027] Secondly, this application provides a refrigerator, the refrigerator including a cabinet and the folding shelf assembly described in the first aspect, the folding shelf assembly being disposed in the cabinet.

[0028] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this application provides a folding shelf assembly and a refrigerator. The folding shelf assembly includes: a shelf, which includes at least two connecting plates, a first fixing plate, a second fixing plate, and a limiting plate. The two ends of the first fixing plate are connected to one end of the two connecting plates, and the two ends of the second fixing plate are connected to the two connecting plates to form a rectangular structure. One side of the limiting plate is connected to the second fixing plate, and the two ends of the limiting plate are connected to the two connecting plates to form an open end. The rectangular structure is used to place a first glass plate, and the open end is used to place a shelf. The limiting plate is provided with a limiting groove, which is used to limit the shelf so that the shelf and the first glass plate are on the same plane. The connecting plate is provided with a first receiving groove, and the shelf can move between the first receiving groove and the open end relative to the first glass plate. The shelf can move between the first receiving groove and the open end. The shelf can be pulled out from the first receiving groove and moved to the open end, and connected with the limiting groove to achieve the effect of the shelf and the first glass plate being on the same plane. When the shelf needs to be folded, the shelf can be taken out from the limiting groove and moved directly to the first receiving groove, which can achieve flexible folding.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] The embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described below do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. They are merely examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the claims.

[0043] Shelves are internal components of a refrigerator. They are placed in different locations within the refrigerator to store food and to categorize various ingredients. Sometimes, food items are too tall to fit on shelves. To improve space utilization and create more storage space, folding shelves are used. Folding shelves can be implemented in several ways, such as with the front and rear shelves connected by hinges or with the front and rear shelves separated. However, regardless of whether the front and rear shelves are connected by hinges or separated, they cannot be folded flexibly.

[0044] See Figure 1 This application provides a folding shelf assembly, including a shelf 100. The shelf 100 includes at least two connecting plates 110, a first fixing plate 120, a second fixing plate 130, and a limiting plate 140. The two ends of the first fixing plate 120 are connected to one end of the two connecting plates 110, and the two ends of the second fixing plate 130 are connected to the two connecting plates 110 to form a rectangular structure.

[0045] The connecting plate 110 is a rectangular structure plate. The first fixing plate 120 and the second fixing plate 130 are of the same shape. One end of the first fixing plate 120 is connected to one end of the connecting plate 110, and the other end is connected to one end of the other connecting plate 110, forming a U-shaped structure. The positions of the second fixing plate 130 and the connecting plate 110 can be set according to the width of the shelf 200. When the width of the shelf 200 is half of the connecting plate 110, the two ends of the second fixing plate 130 are connected to the middle of the connecting plate 110. The U-shaped structure is divided into a rectangular structure and another U-shaped structure by the second fixing plate 130.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first fixing plate 120 is a square-shaped structure, with the left and right sides of the square-shaped structure stacked with two connecting plates 110, and the top side connected to both ends of the connecting plates 110. It can also form a rectangular structure and another U-shaped structure.

[0047] One side of the limiting plate 140 is connected to the second fixing plate 130, and both ends of the limiting plate 140 are connected to two connecting plates 110 to form an open end. The limiting plate 140 is a rectangular structural plate, which includes four sides and two ends. The two ends are connected to the connecting plates 110, and one of the four sides is in contact with the second fixing plate 130. It can be understood that when the first fixing plate 120 is a U-shaped structure, one of the four sides of the limiting plate 140 is in contact with the first fixing plate 120. This forms another U-shaped open end structure.

[0048] The rectangular structure is used to place the first glass plate 170, and the open end is used to place the shelf 200; wherein, the rectangular structure is equivalent to forming a frame for placing the first glass plate 170, and the open end only provides a limiting plate 140 for placing the shelf 200. By setting the shelf 200 on the open end, the shelf 200 can be flexibly placed and removed within the open end.

[0049] The limiting plate 140 is provided with a limiting groove 150, which is used to limit the shelf 200 so that the shelf 200 and the first glass plate 170 are on the same plane; the limiting groove 150 is provided on the adjacent surface of the surface of the limiting plate 140 that abuts the second fixing plate 130.

[0050] The connecting plate 110 is provided with a first receiving groove 160. The shelf 200 can move between the first receiving groove 160 and the open end relative to the first glass plate 170. When the shelf 200 is placed at the open end, the shelf 200 is not folded. When the shelf 200 is placed in the first receiving groove 160, the shelf 200 is folded.

[0051] It is understandable that, in order to facilitate the connection between the shelf 200 and the limiting groove 150, the limiting groove 150 is set on the adjacent surface of the limiting plate 140 away from the first receiving groove 160.

[0052] See Figure 9 , Figure 10 In some embodiments, the shelf 200 includes a shelf frame 210 and a second glass plate 220. The shelf frame 210 has an open-shaped structure. One end of the shelf frame 210 connected to the limiting groove 150 is provided with a groove 230. The groove 230 is connected to the limiting plate 140. An L-shaped limiting block 240 is provided on the groove 230. The L-shaped limiting block 240 protrudes from the plane of the shelf frame 210. The limiting groove 150 extends into the first receiving groove 160. The L-shaped limiting block 240 is disposed in the limiting groove 150.

[0053] The depth of the groove 230 can be set according to the height of the limiting plate 140. For example, if the height of the limiting plate 140 is 2cm, the shelf 200 can be placed on the limiting plate 140, and the depth of the groove 230 is greater than 2cm.

[0054] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 Since the limiting grooves 150 are located at both ends of the limiting plate 140 and connected to the connecting plate 110, a cross-section at point A shows... Figure 3 Sectional view. See also Figure 3 Both the L-shaped limiting block 240 and the limiting groove 150 have L-shaped cross-sections. The L-shaped limiting block 240 and the limiting groove 150 are placed intersectingly. For example, if the L-shaped limiting block 240 is divided into a long arm and a short arm, and the limiting groove 150 is divided into a long arm groove and a short arm groove, the short arm of the L-shaped limiting block 240 is placed in the short arm groove, and the long arm of the L-shaped limiting block 240 is placed in the long arm groove. This ensures that the long arm of the L-shaped limiting block 240 can be limited by the long arm groove, preventing the shelf 200 from wobbling along the direction of the short arm. Similarly, the short arm of the L-shaped limiting block 240 can be limited by the short arm groove, preventing the shelf 200 from wobbling along the direction of the long arm. By limiting the L-shaped limiting block 240 with the limiting groove 150, the shelf 200 can be placed flat on the shelf 100, and the occurrence of accidental folding can be reduced.

[0055] See Figure 5 The limiting plate 140 extends into the first receiving groove 160. Since the limiting groove 150 is located at both ends of the limiting plate 140, the limiting groove 150 extends into the first receiving groove 160. When the L-shaped limiting block 240 is connected to the limiting groove 150, it can limit the position in the direction of the long arm and the short arm. When the limiting groove 150 extends into the first receiving groove 160, since the first receiving groove 160 is a groove opened on the connecting plate 110, the position in the other direction can be limited by the groove, which can reduce the occurrence of misoperation that causes the shelf 200 to tip over.

[0056] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 110 is provided with a second receiving groove 180, which is disposed on the shelf 100 away from the first receiving groove 160. One end of the second receiving groove 180 is connected to the first receiving groove 160, and the other end of the second receiving groove 180 is arc-shaped and connected to a fixing block 190. The width of the first receiving groove 160 is greater than the width of the second receiving groove 180.

[0057] When the shelf 100 needs to be moved from the open end to the first receiving slot 160, the second receiving slot 180 provides a moving channel for the shelf 100. Since the second receiving slot 180 is connected to the first receiving slot 160, the shelf 100 can move into the first receiving slot 160 according to the path of the second receiving slot 180 to complete the folding. The second receiving slot 180 ensures that the shelf 100 will not fall off during the movement.

[0058] See Figure 6When the L-shaped limiting block 240 of the shelf 100 is connected to the limiting groove 150, the second glass plate 220 and the first glass plate 170 located on the shelf 100 can be kept on the same plane, which is convenient for placing food. However, the shelf 100 may be unstable if it is only connected to the limiting groove 150. Therefore, a fixing block 190 can be provided at the end of the second receiving groove 180 away from the first receiving groove 160 to place the end of the shelf 100 away from the limiting groove 150, providing further support for the shelf 100 to place more food.

[0059] It is understandable that the fixed block 190 and the limiting groove 150 are at the same height, which means that the second glass plate 220 can be kept flat and not tilted.

[0060] Since the shelf 100 needs to be placed in the first receiving slot 160 after being folded, the width of the first receiving slot 160 is greater than the width of the second receiving slot 180 so that the first receiving slot 160 can provide sufficient space for the shelf 100.

[0061] In some embodiments, the distance between one end of the second receiving groove 180, which is connected to the first receiving groove 160, and the side of the limiting groove 150 away from the second fixing plate 130, is greater than the width of the limiting plate 140.

[0062] See you again Figure 6 When the shelf 100 needs to be folded, the L-shaped limiting block 240 needs to be moved out of the limiting groove 150. During the removal process, the end of the shelf 100 away from the limiting groove 150 needs to be pressed. Therefore, the depth of the limiting groove 150 can be set according to the depth of the L-shaped limiting block 240. For example, if the depth of the L-shaped limiting block 240 is 1cm, the depth of the limiting groove 150 needs to be greater than 1cm in order to facilitate the removal of the L-shaped limiting block 240 from the limiting groove 150.

[0063] When removed, the long arm of the L-shaped limiting block 240 moves out of the long arm groove. However, since the short arm and the bend of the short arm and the long arm are located in the first receiving groove 160, the shelf 200 needs to be moved towards the fixing block 190. Therefore, the distance between the side of the limiting groove 150 away from the second fixing plate 130 and one end of the second receiving groove 180 that is connected to the first receiving groove 160 is greater than the width of the limiting plate 140. In other words, this part of the width provides space for the short arm of the L-shaped limiting block 240 to move out.

[0064] When the shelf 200 moves to the first receiving groove 160, the L-shaped limiting block 240 protrudes from the shelf frame 210, which may cause the shelf 200 to move within the first receiving groove 160.

[0065] To reduce the movement of the shelf 200 within the first receiving groove 160, in some embodiments, a limiting groove is provided at one end of the second receiving groove 180, which is away from the first receiving groove 160. When the shelf 100 moves into the first receiving groove 160, the limiting groove is used to limit the L-shaped limiting block 240. The limiting groove can be an L-shaped groove with an arc, meaning the surface of the limiting groove is an inclined surface, facilitating the movement of the shelf 200 into the limiting groove. When the shelf 200 moves into the limiting groove, it can also be limited. When it needs to be moved out, the arc can also facilitate the removal of the shelf 200.

[0066] In some embodiments, at least a first partition 300 and a second partition 400 are also included. The first partition 300 has an U-shaped structure and is connected to a first receiving groove 160. The first partition 300, together with the connecting plate 110, the first fixing plate 120, and the second fixing plate 130, forms a first fixing groove for placing a first glass plate 170. The second partition 400 has the same structure as the shelf frame 210. The second partition 400 is connected to a second receiving groove 180 and forms a second fixing groove with the shelf frame 210 for placing a second glass plate 220.

[0067] See Figure 6 , Figure 8 A space for placing the first glass plate 170 is formed between the first partition 300 and the shelf 100, and a space for placing the second glass plate 220 is formed between the second partition 400 and the shelf 210. The height of the two spaces, that is, the distance between the first partition 300 and the shelf 100, and the distance between the second partition 400 and the shelf 210, can be set according to the thickness of the first glass plate 170 and the second glass plate 220. To fix the first glass plate 170 and the second glass plate 220, multiple fixing brackets are provided between the first partition 300 and the shelf 100 and between the second partition 400 and the shelf 210. The fixing brackets can fix the first glass plate 170 and the second glass plate 220 so that the first glass plate 170 and the second glass plate 220 will not fall or shift.

[0068] To facilitate the connection between the L-shaped limiting block 240 and the limiting groove 150, in some embodiments, the second receiving groove 180 is provided with a slide rail 181, which provides a sliding channel for the shelf 200. The slide rail 181 can be V-shaped, with convex sides and an inwardly concave middle, to facilitate the sliding of the L-shaped limiting block 240 from the position protruding from the shelf frame 210.

[0069] In some embodiments, the shelf 100 is made of plastic and is integrally injection molded. Similarly, the partition is also made of plastic and is integrally injection molded.

[0070] In some embodiments, a fixing part is provided on the side of the connecting plate 110 away from the first fixing plate 120, and the fixing part is used to fix the shelf 100. The fixing part is detachably connected to the connecting plate 110. In practical applications, the fixing part can be set according to different devices for placing the folding shelf 100 components provided in this embodiment. The devices for placing the folding shelf 100 components provided in this embodiment include, but are not limited to, refrigerators, freezers, ice bars, and other devices that can place items.

[0071] Based on the above-mentioned folding shelf assembly, some embodiments of this application also provide a refrigerator, which includes a cabinet and a folding shelf assembly, the folding shelf assembly being disposed inside the cabinet.

[0072] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this application provides a folding shelf assembly and a refrigerator. The folding shelf assembly includes: a shelf 100, which includes at least two connecting plates 110, a first fixing plate 120, a second fixing plate 130, and a limiting plate 140. The two ends of the first fixing plate 120 are connected to one end of the two connecting plates 110, and the two ends of the second fixing plate 130 are connected to the two connecting plates 110 to form a rectangular structure. One side of the limiting plate 140 is connected to the second fixing plate 130. Two connecting plates 110 are connected to the two ends of 40 to form an open end; a rectangular structure is used to place the first glass plate 170, and the open end is used to place the shelf 200; a limiting plate 140 is provided with a limiting groove 150, which is used to limit the shelf 200 so that the shelf 200 and the first glass plate 170 are on the same plane; a first receiving groove 160 is provided on the connecting plate 110, and the shelf 200 can move between the first receiving groove 160 and the open end relative to the first glass plate 170. The shelf 200 can move between the first receiving groove 160 and the open end. The shelf 200 can be pulled out from the first receiving groove 160 and moved to the open end, and connected with the limiting groove 150 to achieve the effect that the shelf 200 and the first glass plate 170 are on the same plane. When the shelf 200 needs to be folded, the shelf 200 can be taken out from the limiting groove 150 and moved directly to the first receiving groove 160, which can achieve flexible folding.
