DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be internal communication between two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0025] A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a refrigerator shelf structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the structure includes a shelf assembly and a shelf support mechanism symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the shelf assembly. The shelf assembly includes a front shelf 1 and a rear shelf 2 arranged front and back, wherein both shelves are made of glass.
[0026] The shelf support mechanism on the left side is used as an example for explanation: the shelf support mechanism includes a fixed vertical plate 3. Specifically, the vertical plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the left side wall of the refrigerator inner container by bolts.
[0027] The left side of the rear shelf 2 is rotatably connected to the vertical plate 3 through the first connecting member 4. Figure 2 As shown, the first connecting member 4 includes a first connecting plate 5, and a first rotating shaft 6 is vertically fixedly installed on one side of the first connecting plate 5. A first axial hole 7 is provided at the corresponding position of the vertical plate 3. The first rotating shaft 6 is rotatably arranged in the first axial hole 7. A first card slot 8 and a limit card slot 9 are provided on the other side opposite to the first connecting plate 5. The corresponding end of the rear shelf 2 is fixedly clamped in the first card slot 8. Based on the above structure, the rear shelf 2 can rotate with the first rotating shaft 6 as the axis, and the limit card slot 9 is used to cooperate with the front shelf 1. See below for details.
[0028] A first limit block 10 is fixedly installed on the vertical plate 3. Furthermore, the first limit block 10 is located in front of the first connecting member 4 and below the rear shelf 2, and limits the downward rotation of the front end of the rear shelf 2. In a natural state, the rear shelf 2 is in a horizontal state under the joint support of the first connecting member 4 and the first limit block 10.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, a slide groove is arranged on the vertical plate 3, and the slide groove is a continuous three-section structure, specifically, it includes a straight segment slide groove 11 arranged along the front and rear directions, a sunken slot 12 is connected to the front end of the straight segment slide groove 11, and an arc segment slide groove 13 is connected to the rear end of the straight segment slide groove 11, and the center of the circle where the arc segment slide groove 13 is located is located on the axis of the first rotating shaft 6.
[0030] The left side of the front shelf 1 is slidably connected to the slide groove through the second connecting member 14. Figure 4 As shown, the second connecting member 14 includes a second connecting plate 15, and a second rotating shaft 16 is vertically fixedly installed on one side of the second connecting plate 15. The second rotating shaft 16 is rotatably arranged in the slide groove, and a second clamping groove 17 is arranged on the other side opposite to the second connecting plate 15. The corresponding end of the front shelf 1 is fixedly clamped in the second clamping groove 17.
[0031] A second limit block 18 is fixedly mounted on the vertical plate 3 . Furthermore, the second limit block 18 is located behind the second connecting member 14 and below the front shelf 1 , and serves to limit the downward rotation of the rear end of the front shelf 1 .
[0032] Based on the above structure, in the natural state, when the second rotating shaft 16 is located in the sunken slot 12, the front shelf 1 is in a horizontal state and is in the same plane as the rear shelf 2 under the joint support of the second connecting member 14 and the second stopper 18. The second rotating shaft 16 slides out of the sunken slot 12 and slides backward along the straight segment slot 11. When it slides to the connection between the rear end of the straight segment slot 11 and the arc segment slot 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the front shelf 1 is located directly above the rear shelf 2, and at the same time, the corresponding end of the front shelf 1 can be stuck in the limit slot 9, which plays a role in limiting the sliding of the front shelf 1 backward. Afterwards, the front shelf 1 and the rear shelf 2 are regarded as a whole, and can be turned upward with the first rotating shaft 6 as the axis. While turning, the second rotating shaft 16 slides along the arc segment slot 13. When sliding to the rear end of the arc segment slot 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the front shelf 1 and the rear shelf 2 are both in a vertical state. At this time, the top of the drawer is open, and the user can conveniently take and put items without pulling out the drawer.
[0033] In summary, the refrigerator shelf structure described in the embodiment of the present invention allows users to conveniently take out and put items without pulling the drawer out of the refrigerator, which effectively preserves the coldness, thereby improving the refrigeration efficiency of the compressor and saving energy.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
