Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of refrigeration technology, and in particular to a shelf assembly and a storage device. Background Art

[0002] In current storage devices, cantilever shelf assemblies are widely used because their overlap is invisible and their overall appearance is good. However, existing cantilever shelf assemblies have the following defects: the assembly method between the shelf and the bracket is simple, and there is a lack of an effective support mechanism, which results in limited load-bearing capacity of the shelf, and the bracket is easily deformed due to excessive load, which in turn causes the shelf to tilt, increasing the risk of items falling. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present application aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present application proposes a shelf assembly and a storage device, which reduces the bending moment and deflection borne by the bracket, reduces the deformation of the bracket when carrying heavy items, improves the load-bearing capacity and overall stability of the shelf, and reduces the risk of the shelf tilting and items sliding off.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a shelf assembly, which is applied to a storage device, comprising:

[0005] A shelf, wherein each side of the shelf comprises a first support portion and a second support portion disposed at the rear, wherein the first support portion and the second support portion are spaced apart and distributed along a first direction, and the first direction forms an acute angle with both the front-rear direction and the up-down direction;

[0006] A bracket, wherein the bracket is suitable for being connected to the first supporting part and the second supporting part on both sides of the shelf, and either side of the bracket includes a plurality of limit units spaced apart and distributed along the up-down direction, and the limit units include a first limit structure and a second limit structure spaced apart and distributed along the second direction, and the second direction forms an acute angle with the front-to-back direction and the up-down direction, and the first limit structure is suitable for limiting cooperation with the first supporting part, and the second limit structure is suitable for limiting cooperation with the second supporting part.

[0007] According to the shelf assembly of the present application, through the arrangement of the above-mentioned first supporting part, second supporting part, first limiting structure and second limiting structure, the support of the bracket to both sides of the shelf is realized. Compared with the solution in which the bracket is supported on the rear side of the shelf, the load distribution of the bracket is optimized, thereby greatly reducing the bending moment and deflection borne by the bracket, thereby reducing the deformation of the bracket when carrying heavier items. Combined with the staggered cooperation of the first supporting part, the second supporting part and the corresponding limiting structure, the stability of the connection between the shelf and the bracket is enhanced, thereby greatly improving the load-bearing capacity and overall stability of the shelf, thereby effectively reducing the risk of shelf tilting and items slipping.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present application, the shelf has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the first limiting structure is locked with the first supporting part, and the second limiting structure is locked with the second supporting part. In the unlocked state, the shelf is rotated until the orthographic projections of the first supporting part and the second supporting part in the up and down directions at least partially overlap, and the first limiting structure is unlocked with the first supporting part, and the second limiting structure is unlocked with the second supporting part.

[0009] According to the shelf assembly of the present application, through the design of the above-mentioned locking and unlocking mechanism, the user can enter the unlocked state by simply lifting the front end of the shelf manually, and then move the shelf to easily complete the height adjustment, and then put down the shelf to return to the locked state, thereby increasing the convenience of the height adjustment process of the shelf. The distance between two adjacent limit units will not be limited by the processing technology, room space, etc., so that the distance between adjacent height adjustment gears can be designed to be smaller, and the lifting distance of the shelf each time can be controlled more accurately, thereby meeting the user's refined needs for placing items at different heights.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present application, a guide channel extending in the up-down direction is formed on either side of the bracket, and the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure are respectively located on both sides of the guide channel along the front-to-back direction, and in the unlocked state, the first support portion and the second support portion are slidably arranged in the guide channel.

[0011] According to the shelf assembly of the present application, through the design of the above-mentioned guide channel, a standardized path is provided for the lifting and lowering of the shelf, so that the trajectory of each movement of the shelf is fixed and predictable, and the shelf is not prone to deflection, misalignment, etc. when adjusting the height. It can be docked more accurately at the limit structure corresponding to the target height, thereby achieving refined height adjustment and meeting the user's precise needs for storage at different heights. At the same time, the operation process is simplified and the operation difficulty is reduced. The guide channel shares part of the vertical pressure when the shelf carries items, reducing the load borne by the first limit structure and the second limit structure alone, thereby reducing the risk of structural damage.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present application, the bracket includes two support members that are separated and arranged along the left-right direction and are respectively connected to two sides of the shelf, and the support members include:

[0013] a first section, the first section being used to be connected to an inner container of the storage device;

[0014] The second section is connected to the first section by bending, the second section has a convex portion protruding in a direction away from the shelf, the convex portion forms the guide channel, and the second section is provided with the limiting unit.

[0015] According to the shelf assembly of the present application, the first section connected to the inner tank and the second section responsible for guiding and limiting are separated through the structural design of the above-mentioned support members, which neither occupies too much extra space nor maintains the complete realization of the functions of the shelf assembly, making the internal layout more compact and reasonable, increasing the effective storage volume, and by designing the bracket into two support members separated in the left and right directions, the stability of the shelf assembly is enhanced, reducing the risk of the shelf tilting or falling off.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present application, the support member further includes:

[0017] The third section has one side connected to the second section by a bend, and the other side is suitable for connecting to the inner container of the storage device.

[0018] According to an embodiment of the present application, the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure are limiting grooves, and the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion are limiting protrusions.

[0019] According to one embodiment of the present application, at least one of the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure is provided with a guiding inclined surface.

[0020] According to one embodiment of the present application, the first limiting structure is provided with a guiding inclined surface for cooperating with the first supporting portion, and a side wall of the second limiting structure facing away from the locking interface is spaced apart from the second supporting portion.

[0021] According to the shelf assembly of the present application, through the layout design of the first limiting structure guided by the guide slope and the second limiting structure with reserved gap, the two are one loose and one tight, so that the components have more tolerance space during assembly and adjustment, which greatly reduces the probability of jamming. In addition, since slight errors in the manufacturing process are inevitable, the clearance provided by the second limiting structure effectively compensates for the problems caused by processing tolerances, reduces manufacturing costs and improves production efficiency.

[0022] According to one embodiment of the present application, the shelf comprises:

[0023] Storage board;

[0024] Two side trims are respectively installed on both sides of the storage board along the left and right directions, and the parts of the two side trims protruding backward from the storage board are provided with the first supporting part and the second supporting part, and the limiting unit is located on the side of the corresponding side trim away from the storage board.

[0025] According to one embodiment of the present application, the shelf further includes:

[0026] A rear trim strip is installed on the rear side of the storage plate and is connected to the two side trim strips. The first supporting portion and the second supporting portion are both located behind the rear trim strip.

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present application, one of the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion is disposed close to the rear trim strip, and the other is located at a rear lower portion of the rear trim strip and is disposed close to a corner of the side trim strip.

[0028] In a second aspect, the present application provides a storage device, the storage device comprising:

[0029] The liner forms a compartment;

[0030] A shelf assembly as described above is installed in the compartment, and a bracket of the shelf assembly is connected to the inner container.

[0031] According to the storage device of the present application, through the arrangement of the above-mentioned shelf assembly, the support of the bracket on both sides of the shelf is achieved. Compared with the solution in which the bracket is supported on the rear side of the shelf, the load distribution of the bracket is optimized, thereby greatly reducing the bending moment and deflection borne by the bracket, thereby reducing the deformation of the bracket when carrying heavier items. Combined with the staggered cooperation of the first supporting part, the second supporting part and the corresponding limiting structure, the stability of the connection between the shelf and the bracket is enhanced, thereby greatly improving the load-bearing capacity and overall stability of the shelf, thereby effectively reducing the risk of shelf tilting and items slipping.

[0048] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0049] The present application provides a shelf assembly, which is applied to a storage device 1 .

[0050] It should be noted that the storage device 1 in this embodiment can be understood as a refrigeration storage device in a broad sense, including but not limited to refrigerators, freezers, display cabinets, beverage cabinets, wine cabinets, fresh-keeping cabinets, refrigerated vending machines and other refrigeration storage devices. The storage device 1 has various structural forms and a wide range of applications.

[0051] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 9 A shelf assembly according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the shelf assembly includes a shelf 20 and a bracket 30 .

[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, either side of the shelf 20 includes a first support portion 221 and a second support portion 222 disposed at the rear, the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 are spaced apart and distributed along a first direction, and the first direction forms an acute angle with the front-to-back direction and the up-down direction.

[0054] The shelf 20 is a component in the storage device 1 for carrying articles, and the left rear side and the right rear side of the shelf 20 both have a first supporting portion 221 and a second supporting portion 222 .

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 are staggered in the front-to-back direction and the up-down direction.

[0056] Specifically, the angle between the first direction and the front-to-back direction may be 18.74°, 37.4°, 60°, 75°, 80.8° or other values ​​between 0° and 90°.

[0057] The first support portion 221 may include but is not limited to a protrusion, a groove or other connection structures, and the second support portion 222 may include but is not limited to a protrusion, a groove or other connection structures, which are not limited here.

[0058] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 30 is suitable for being connected to the first support part 221 and the second support part 222 on both sides of the shelf 20, and either side of the bracket 30 includes a plurality of limit units 3121 spaced apart and distributed along the up-down direction, and the limit units 3121 include a first limit structure 31211 and a second limit structure 31212 spaced apart and distributed along the second direction, and the second direction forms an acute angle with the front-to-back direction and the up-down direction, and the first limit structure 31211 is suitable for limiting cooperation with the first support part 221, and the second limit structure 31212 is suitable for limiting cooperation with the second support part 222.

[0059] The bracket 30 is used to support the shelf 20 and is connected to the inner tank 10 of the storage device 1. The left and right sides of the bracket 30 have a plurality of corresponding limit units 3121. Specifically, the plurality of limit units 3121 can be regarded as a plurality of adjustment gears corresponding to different heights. When the shelf 20 is limited and matched with a certain limit unit 3121 through the first support part 221 and the second support part 222, it is equivalent to the shelf 20 switching to the adjustment gear matched by the limit unit 3121, that is, the shelf 20 is raised or lowered to the height corresponding to the adjustment gear.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are staggered in the front-to-back direction and the up-down direction.

[0061] Specifically, the angle between the second direction and the front-rear direction may be 18.74°, 37.4°, 60°, 75°, 80.8° or other values ​​between 0° and 90°.

[0062] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the first direction is parallel to the second direction.

[0063] Among them, the first limiting structure 31211 can be a structure matching the first support part 221, including but not limited to protrusions, grooves or other connecting structures, and the second limiting structure 31212 can be a structure matching the second support part 222, including but not limited to protrusions, grooves or other connecting structures, etc., which are not limited here.

[0064] For example, in some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 are both protruding structures, and the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are both groove structures.

[0065] For another example, in some other embodiments, the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 are both groove structures, and the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are both protruding structures.

[0066] In the related art, in some storage devices, the bracket is usually connected to both sides of the rear end of the shelf. In this case, after the shelf is subjected to a downward load, the two installation points at the rear end of the shelf mainly bear tension and shear force, and the force condition of the shelf is similar to that of a cantilever beam structure. At this time, because the force arm is longer, the distance from the front end of the shelf to the bracket is the force arm, and the bracket will be subjected to a larger bending moment. This larger bending moment can easily cause a larger deformation of the installation bracket, especially at the connection portion between the bracket and the shelf, bending deformation may occur, and because the force is mainly borne by the two points at the rear end, the shelf itself is also prone to deflection, affecting the support effect.

[0067] It can be understood that, on the one hand, based on the fact that the first support part 221 and the second support part 222 are provided on the left and right sides of the shelf 20, in other words, the bracket 30 is supported on both sides of the shelf 20. After the shelf 20 is subjected to a downward load, the stress condition of the shelf 20 is closer to a simply supported beam structure. Compared with the solution in which the bracket 30 is supported on the rear side of the shelf 20, the lever arm is effectively shortened, and the load is shared by two limit units 3121 located on both sides of the rear end, and the distribution is more reasonable. For the support member 31, the bending moment is greatly reduced, so the deformation will be reduced accordingly, and the downward deflection of the shelf 20 itself will also be reduced, resulting in a better support effect and being able to more stably carry the items placed on the shelf 20. On the other hand, based on the fact that the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 are distributed apart along the first direction and the first direction forms an acute angle with the front-to-back direction and the up-down direction, this non-traditional layout allows the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 to be staggered in space, rather than simply distributed vertically or horizontally. From a mechanical point of view, compared with the conventional parallel support structure, this oblique staggered arrangement can disperse the force in multiple dimensions, change the force conduction path, and avoid excessive force at a single point or in a single direction, so that the bracket 30 is not easy to deform, and the risk of the shelf 20 tilting is greatly reduced. Even if heavier items are placed, stability can be maintained, reducing the risk of items slipping.

[0068] The shelf assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the support of the bracket 30 on both sides of the shelf 20 through the arrangement of the above-mentioned first support part 221, the second support part 222, the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212. Compared with the solution in which the bracket 30 is supported on the rear side of the shelf 20, the load distribution of the bracket 30 is optimized, thereby greatly reducing the bending moment and deflection borne by the bracket 30, thereby reducing the deformation of the bracket 30 when carrying heavier items. Combined with the staggered cooperation of the first support part 221, the second support part 222 and the corresponding limiting structure, the stability of the connection between the shelf 20 and the bracket 30 is enhanced, thereby greatly improving the load-bearing capacity and overall stability of the shelf 20, thereby effectively reducing the risk of the shelf 20 tilting and items sliding off.

[0069] In some embodiments, Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the shelf 20 has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the first limiting structure 31211 is locked with the first supporting portion 221, and the second limiting structure 31212 is locked with the second supporting portion 222; in the unlocked state, the shelf 20 rotates until the orthographic projections of the first supporting portion 221 and the second supporting portion 222 in the up and down directions at least partially overlap, and the first limiting structure 31211 is unlocked with the first supporting portion 221, and the second limiting structure 31212 is unlocked with the second supporting portion 222.

[0070] In actual implementation, Figure 3 and Figure 4 For example, when the storage device 1 is in normal use, the shelf 20 is in a locked state. Due to the effect of gravity, the first limiting structure 31211 is pressed against the first supporting part 221, and the second supporting part 222 is pressed against the second limiting structure 31212. The entire shelf 20 is placed in a horizontal posture. In this way, the shelf 20 is firmly locked on the bracket 30, reducing the occurrence of instability such as up and down shaking and front and back displacement.

[0071] by Figure 5 and Figure 6 For example, when the height of the shelf 20 needs to be adjusted, the shelf 20 is switched from a locked state to an unlocked state, and the user gradually lifts the front end of the shelf 20 upward to rotate the shelf 20 around the rear support point, causing the first support part 221 and the second support part 222 to gradually overlap in the up and down directions. During this process, the first limiting structure 31211 and the first supporting part 221, and the second limiting structure 31212 and the second supporting part 222 are gradually unlocked. After the unlocking is completed, the shelf 20 is moved to the limiting unit 3121 of the target height, and then the shelf 20 is gently put down. Under the action of its own gravity, the first support part 221 and the first limiting structure 31211 are re-locked, and the second support part 222 and the second limiting structure 31212 are re-locked, and the height adjustment operation is completed.

[0072] The shelf assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the design of the above-mentioned locking and unlocking mechanism, the user can enter the unlocked state by simply lifting the front end of the shelf 20 manually, and then move the shelf 20 to easily complete the height adjustment, and then put down the shelf 20 to return to the locked state, thereby increasing the convenience of the height adjustment process of the shelf 20. The distance between two adjacent limit units 3121 will not be limited by the processing technology, the space of the compartment 11, etc., so that the distance between adjacent height adjustment gears can be designed to be smaller, and the lifting distance of the shelf 20 each time can be controlled more accurately, thereby meeting the user's refined needs for placing items at different heights.

[0073] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, a guide channel 31221 extending in the up-down direction is formed on either side of the bracket 30, and the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are respectively located on both sides of the guide channel 31221 along the front-back direction. In the unlocked state, the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 are slidably arranged in the guide channel 31221.

[0074] It is understandable that if Figure 4 and Figure 6-Figure 8As shown, guide channels 31221 extending in the up-down direction are added to the left and right sides of the bracket 30. The guide channels 31221 provide a clear path for the lifting and lowering movement of the shelf 20. Specifically, the guide channels 31221 allow the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 of the shelf 20 to slide therein, thereby achieving height adjustment of the shelf 20. The user can switch the locked state and the unlocked state of the shelf 20 through simple operations, thereby easily adjusting the height or position of the shelf 20, simplifying the operation process. Since the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are respectively located on both sides of the guide channel 31221 along the front-back direction, the guide channel 31221 shares part of the vertical pressure when the shelf 20 carries items, reducing the load borne by the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 alone, and reducing the risk of structural damage.

[0075] The shelf assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application provides a standardized path for the lifting and lowering of the shelf 20 through the design of the above-mentioned guide channel 31221, so that the trajectory of each movement of the shelf 20 is fixed and predictable, and the shelf 20 is not prone to deflection, misalignment, etc. when adjusting the height, and can be docked more accurately at the limiting structure corresponding to the target height, thereby achieving refined height adjustment to meet the user's precise needs for storage at different heights, while simplifying the operation process and reducing the difficulty of operation. The guide channel 31221 shares part of the vertical pressure when the shelf 20 carries items, reducing the load borne by the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 alone, thereby reducing the risk of structural damage.

[0076] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the bracket 30 includes two support members 31 which are separated and arranged along the left-right direction and are respectively connected to two sides of the shelf 20 . The support member 31 includes a first section 311 and a second section 312 .

[0077] The first section 311 is used to be connected to the inner container 10 of the storage device 1; the second section 312 is bent and connected to the first section 311, and the second section 312 has a protrusion 3122 protruding in a direction away from the shelf 20, the protrusion 3122 forms a guide channel 31221, and the second section 312 is provided with a limit unit 3121.

[0078] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the support member 31 can be designed as a support beam structure, wherein the first section 311 can be connected to the inner liner 10 by threaded connection, clamping or welding, etc., to play the role of anchoring the entire shelf assembly inside the compartment 11. The first section 311 can be designed into a relatively regular shape, which is convenient for fitting and installing with the inner liner 10, such as a flat shape, so that the contact surface is large enough to disperse the force and reduce the situation where the inner liner 10 is subjected to excessive force locally. The middle part of the second section 312 is protruded outward to form a convex portion 3122, which extends along the length direction of the entire support member 31, that is, extends in the up and down direction, directly defining a guide channel 31221, and the shape and size of the convex portion 3122 are strictly adapted to the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 of the shelf 20, so that the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 can slide in smoothly in the unlocked state, and provide accurate limit in the locked state. Moreover, the second section 312 is provided with a plurality of limit units 3121 arranged at intervals along the up and down directions. Specifically, at least a portion of the first limit structure 31211 is provided on the protrusion 3122, and at least a portion of the second limit structure 31212 is provided on the protrusion 3122. Combined with the guiding function of the protrusion 3122, precise adjustment of the height of the shelf 20 is achieved.

[0079] The shelf assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application separates the first section 311 connected to the inner tank 10 and the second section 312 responsible for guiding and limiting through the structural design of the above-mentioned support member 31, which does not occupy too much extra space while maintaining the complete realization of the functions of the shelf assembly, making the internal layout more compact and reasonable, increasing the effective storage volume, and by designing the bracket 30 into two support members 31 separated in the left and right directions, the stability of the shelf assembly is enhanced, reducing the risk of the shelf 20 tilting or falling off.

[0080] In some embodiments, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the support member 31 further includes: a third section 313 .

[0081] One side of the third section 313 is bent and connected to the second section 312 , and the other side is suitable for connecting with the inner container 10 of the storage device 1 .

[0082] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first section 311 can be designed to be a relatively regular shape, such as a flat shape, and the first section 311 and the third section 313 are folded in opposite directions relative to the second section 312. Specifically, when the support member 31 is assembled into the inner liner 10, the first section 311 is bent inwardly relative to the second section 312, and the third section 313 is bent outwardly relative to the second section 312, wherein the third section 313 can be fixedly connected to the inner liner 10 by a connecting member, or the third section 313 can simply extend to a position in contact with the inner liner 10 without being fixed.

[0083] It is understandable that, since the second section 312 includes both the convex portion 3122 and a plurality of limiting units 3121, in other words, the second section 312 is relatively complicated and irregular in appearance. By adding the third section 313 to the support member 31, on the one hand, in daily use, from the user's perspective, only the relatively smooth appearance of the first section 311 and the third section 313 can be seen, and the complex structure of the second section 312 is cleverly hidden. This design not only increases the overall aesthetics of the storage device 1, but also avoids the inconvenience or safety hazard caused to the user by the convex portion 3122 and the limiting unit 3121; on the other hand, because the third section 313 blocks dust and stains from entering the complex structure area of ​​the second section 312, when cleaning the storage device 1, the cleaning staff only needs to wipe the first section 311 and the third section 313 with a simple cleaning tool to basically complete the cleaning work around the bracket 30, without the cleaning staff having to laboriously clean the gaps and dead corners around the limiting units 3121 and the convex portion 3122, which greatly shortens the cleaning time.

[0084] The shelf assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the setting of the above-mentioned third section 313, realizes the hiding of the second section 312 from the user's perspective, increases the overall aesthetics of the storage device 1, and at the same time avoids the inconvenience or safety hazard caused to the user by the protrusion 3122 and the limit unit 3121, reduces cleaning dead corners, simplifies the cleaning process, and thus improves the maintainability of the entire storage device 1.

[0085] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are limiting grooves, and the first supporting portion 221 and the second supporting portion 222 are limiting protrusions.

[0086] Among them, the shape of the limiting protrusion may include but is not limited to a cylinder, a prism, a cuboid or other irregular shapes, and the shape of the limiting groove should match the limiting protrusion, and may specifically include but is not limited to a square, a circle, a polygon or other irregular shapes, etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0087] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are limiting grooves, a part of the first limiting structure 31211 is opened on the side wall of the guide channel 31221, and the other part is opened on the outer edge of the guide channel 31221, and the second limiting structure 31212 can be formed by using multiple convex plates. Specifically, the side wall of the guide channel 31221 can be provided with multiple convex plates spaced apart and distributed along the up and down directions, and the second limiting structure 31212 can be formed between two adjacent convex plates, and the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 are limiting protrusions, and the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 both protrude toward the outside.

[0088] The shelf assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the structural design that the above-mentioned first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are limiting grooves and the first support part 221 and the second support part 222 are limiting protrusions, can enable the shelf 20 to obtain more stable support and positioning during the movement without weakening the structural strength of the shelf 20 itself. At the same time, the sliding and adjustment of the shelf 20 also become simpler and more intuitive, and the stability of the shelf assembly is also improved, thereby reducing the movement or tilting of the shelf 20 due to load or external force.

[0089] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, at least one of the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 31213 .

[0090] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are limiting grooves, and the first supporting portion 221 and the second supporting portion 222 are limiting protrusions. The first limiting structure 31211 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 31213, and the guiding inclined surface 31213 is inclined upward from front to back.

[0091] In other embodiments, the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are limiting grooves, and the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 are limiting protrusions. The second limiting structure 31212 is provided with a guide slope 31213, and the guide slope 31213 is arranged to be inclined upward from front to back.

[0092] In some other embodiments, the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are limiting grooves, and the first supporting portion 221 and the second supporting portion 222 are limiting protrusions. The first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are both provided with a guiding inclined surface 31213, and the guiding inclined surface 31213 is inclined upward from front to back.

[0093] It is understandable that, when the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are limiting grooves and the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 are limiting protrusions, the guiding inclined surface 31213 is at least part of the side wall of the limiting groove, which is used to reduce the friction of the shelf 20 during the locking and unlocking process, and improve the smoothness and convenience of the operation. Specifically, when the shelf 20 is installed on the bracket 30, the limiting protrusions on both sides of the shelf 20 must first be aligned with the corresponding limiting grooves on both sides of the bracket 30. In the initial alignment stage, even if there is a certain deviation, as long as the limiting protrusion touches the guiding inclined surface 31213, when a slight external force is applied to push the shelf 20, the protrusion can automatically slide to the depth of the limiting groove along the inclined direction of the inclined surface, reducing the strict requirements for precise alignment during assembly, making the assembly operation easier and more fault-tolerant. When the height of the shelf 20 needs to be adjusted, the shelf 20 is lifted, and the limiting protrusion is smoothly disengaged from the limiting groove under the guidance of the guiding inclined surface 31213, thereby reducing the probability of jamming and making the entire adjustment process smoother.

[0094] The shelf assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application has a structural design in which at least one of the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 is provided with a guide bevel 31213. On the one hand, during the height adjustment operation of the shelf 20, each time the shelf 20 is unlocked and locked, the guide bevel 31213 can assist the limiting protrusion to quickly enter and exit the limiting groove, making the entire adjustment process smoother and smoother, reducing the force required by the user when adjusting the shelf 20 and improving the convenience of operation. On the other hand, by reducing the friction during the locking and unlocking process of the shelf 20, the guide bevel 31213 helps to reduce the wear of the limiting structure and the supporting part, thereby extending the service life of the shelf assembly.

[0095] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first limiting structure 31211 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 31213 for cooperating with the first supporting portion 221 , and a side wall of the second limiting structure 31212 which is away from the locking interface is spaced apart from the second supporting portion 222 .

[0096] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 are limiting grooves, and the first supporting portion 221 and the second supporting portion 222 are limiting protrusions. The first supporting portion 221 is locked with the lower side wall of the first limiting structure 31211, and the guiding inclined surface 31213 is located on a side wall of the first limiting structure 31211 away from the locking interface, that is, the upper side wall of the first limiting structure 31211; the second supporting portion 222 is locked with the upper side wall of the second limiting structure 31212, and the second supporting portion 222 is spaced a certain distance from the lower side wall of the second limiting structure 31212.

[0097] In actual implementation, based on the side wall of the second limiting structure 31212 that is away from the locking interface and is spaced apart from the second support portion 222, compared with the tight fit between the first limiting structure 31211 and the first support portion 221, the second limiting structure 31212 leaves a certain amount of clearance for the second support portion 222. When the shelf 20 switches to the locking state, first align the first support portion 221 with the first limiting structure 31211. Due to the guide slope 31213, with a little external force, the first support portion 221 can easily slide into the limiting groove along the slope, and the initial positioning is quickly completed. Then, bring the second support portion 222 close to the second limiting structure 31212. Since there is a gap between the two, there is no need for precise alignment. As long as the general direction is correct, the second support portion 222 can enter this relatively loose space. Then, with a slight adjustment, the shelf 20 can be assembled as a whole. Compared with the high-precision alignment on both sides, the difficulty is greatly reduced. When the shelf 20 switches to the unlocked state, the user lifts the front end of the shelf 20 and first pivots around the first support portion 221 . After the second support portion 222 rotates away from the second limiting structure 31212 , the first support portion 221 easily escapes along the guide slope 31213 of the first limiting structure 31211 .

[0098] The shelf assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application is designed with the first limiting structure 31211 guided by the guide slope 31213 and the second limiting structure 31212 reserved for a gap. The two are loose and tight, so that the components have more room for error during assembly and adjustment, which greatly reduces the probability of jamming. In addition, since slight errors in the manufacturing process are inevitable, the clearance provided by the second limiting structure 31212 effectively compensates for the problems caused by processing tolerances, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and improving production efficiency.

[0099] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, the shelf 20 includes a storage plate 21 and two side trims 22 .

[0100] The two side trims 22 are respectively installed on both sides of the storage board 21 along the left and right directions. The parts of the two side trims 22 protruding backward from the storage board 21 are provided with a first support portion 221 and a second support portion 222, and the limiting unit 3121 is located on the side of the corresponding side trim 22 away from the storage board 21.

[0101] The storage board 21 is the main part of the shelf 20, which is used to directly carry and support the stored items. The storage board 21 is arranged horizontally to provide a stable placement platform for the items; the side trim 22 is designed to decorate and protect the side edges of the storage board 21 and to install the storage board 21.

[0102] It should be noted that the material of the storage plate 21 includes but is not limited to glass, and the material of the side trim 22 includes but is not limited to metal or hard plastic.

[0103] Exemplarily, the storage plate 21 may be a glass partition, a tempered glass partition, or an acrylic partition.

[0104] In this embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the side trim 22 can be designed to be a flat plate, and the orthographic projection of the side trim 22 in the left-right direction covers the orthographic projection of the storage plate 21 in the left-right direction. The side trim 22 protrudes downward and backward relative to the side wall of the storage plate 21 to meet the strength requirements, and the part of the side trim 22 protruding backward from the storage plate is provided with a first support portion 221 and a second support portion 222. In other words, the side trim 22 is locked with the first limiting structure 31211 and the second limiting structure 31212 of the support member 31 through the first supporting portion 221 and the second supporting portion 222 at the rear, respectively, so as to realize the assembly of the entire shelf 20 on the bracket 30.

[0105] The shelf assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application provides a structural basis for the bracket 30 to support both sides of the shelf 20 through the structural design of the first support part 221 and the second support part 222 integrated in the side trim 22, thereby reducing the bending moment and deflection borne by the bracket 30 and reducing the deformation of the bracket 30 when carrying heavier items. At the same time, it helps to improve the compactness and integration of the shelf assembly and save space.

[0106] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, the shelf 20 further includes a rear trim strip 23 .

[0107] The rear trim strip 23 is installed at the rear side of the storage plate 21 , and the rear trim strip 23 is connected to the two side trim strips 22 . The first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 are both located at the rear of the rear trim strip 23 .

[0108] The rear trim strip 23 not only protects the rear edge of the storage board 21 , but also enhances the overall stability of the shelf 20 by connecting with the side trim strips 22 and the storage board.

[0109] The material of the side trim 22 includes but is not limited to metal or hard plastic, etc., which is not limited here.

[0110] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, the rear trim strip 23 can be designed as an edge wrapping structure. Specifically, the rear trim strip 23 can wrap around the rear edge of the storage board 21. The two ends of the rear trim strip 23 can be connected to the two side trim strips 22 respectively by means of buckles, mortise and tenon joints or screws, thereby enhancing the overall rigidity of the shelf 20. In addition, the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 are both arranged behind the rear trim strip 23. With the auxiliary support of the rear trim strip 23, the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 can better resist external forces. In particular, when the shelf 20 carries heavier items, the rear trim strip 23 can assist in sharing the pressure and reduce the deformation of the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222.

[0111] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the shelf 20 may further include a front decorative strip 24 , which is installed on the front side of the storage plate 21 and connected to the two side decorative strips 22 .

[0112] The front trim strip 24 not only protects the front edge of the storage board 21 , but also enhances the overall stability of the shelf 20 by connecting with the side trim strips 22 and the storage board.

[0113] The material of the side trim 22 includes but is not limited to metal or hard plastic, etc., which is not limited here.

[0114] like Figure 2 As shown, the front trim 24 can be designed as a edging structure. Specifically, the front trim 24 can be wrapped around the front edge of the storage board 21, and the two ends of the front trim 24 can be connected to the two side trims 22 respectively by means of snaps, mortise and tenon joints or screws.

[0115] In the case where the shelf 20 includes the front decorative strip 24 and the rear decorative strip 23 , the front decorative strip 24 , the rear decorative strip 23 and the two side decorative strips 22 can form a complete annular frame to comprehensively enhance the overall rigidity of the shelf 20 .

[0116] The shelf assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application forms a closed or semi-closed frame through the arrangement of the above-mentioned rear decorative strip 23, which greatly enhances the overall rigidity of the shelf 20, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and anti-deformation ability of the shelf 20. At the same time, the first support part 221 and the second support part 222 are arranged behind the rear decorative strip 23. The rear decorative strip 23 cooperates with the side decorative strip 22 to provide a more stable supporting environment for the first support part 221 and the second support part 222, so that the shelf 20 can withstand a greater weight without being easily deformed, which helps to alleviate the instability problem of the shelf 20 caused by loosening or deformation of the first support part 221 or the second support part 222.

[0117] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, one of the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 is disposed close to the rear trim strip 23 , and the other is located at the rear and lower part of the rear trim strip 23 and close to the corner of the side trim strip 22 .

[0118] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the first support portion 221 is disposed close to the rear trim strip 23 , and the second support portion 222 is located at the rear and lower part of the rear trim strip 23 and is disposed close to the corner of the side trim strip 22 .

[0119] In other embodiments, the second support portion 222 is disposed close to the rear trim strip 23 , and the first support portion 221 is located at the rear and lower part of the rear trim strip 23 and close to the corner of the side trim strip 22 .

[0120] It is understandable that Figure 2 For example, the first support portion 221 is arranged close to the rear trim strip 23. The first support portion 221 is close to the rear trim strip 23, and the support characteristics of the rear trim strip 23 can be used to quickly disperse the pressure and improve the overall stability. The second support portion 222 is located at the rear and lower part of the rear trim strip 23 and is arranged close to the corner of the side trim strip 22. This position allows the second support portion 222 to be located at the edge area of ​​the shelf 20, and the structural rigidity of the corner of the side trim strip 22 can be used. At the same time, the force from the bottom and the rear is taken into account, providing an additional support point for the shelf 20, and enhancing the bearing capacity of the corner area.

[0121] The shelf assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the layout design of the above-mentioned first support part 221 and the second support part 222, the support part close to the rear decorative strip 23 bears a part of the weight from the central area of ​​the shelf 20, while the support part located at the rear lower corner is responsible for dispersing the force on the edge of the shelf 20, reducing stress concentration, making the force on the shelf 20 more balanced, and comprehensively improving the load-bearing capacity of the shelf 20.

[0122] The present application also provides a storage device 1.

[0123] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the storage device 1 includes: an inner container 10 and a shelf assembly as described in any of the above solutions.

[0124] The inner container 10 forms a compartment 11 ; the shelf assembly is installed in the compartment 11 , and the bracket 30 of the shelf assembly is connected to the inner container 10 .

[0125] In actual implementation, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, based on the bracket 30 including two support members 31, the support member 31 can be fixedly connected to the back wall of the inner liner 10, or the support member 31 can be fixedly connected to the back wall, the left side wall and the right side wall of the inner liner 10. Specifically, when the support member 31 is fixedly connected to the back wall of the inner liner 10, the first section 311 of the support member 31 can be fixedly connected to the back wall of the inner liner 10 by means of threaded connection, clamping or welding; when the support member 31 is fixedly connected to the back wall, the left side wall and the right side wall of the inner liner 10, the first section 311 of the support member 31 can be fixedly connected to the back wall of the inner liner 10 by means of threaded connection, clamping or welding, and the third sections 313 of the two support members 31 can be fixedly connected to the left side wall and the right side wall of the inner liner 10 respectively by means of threaded connection, clamping or welding.

[0126] The storage device 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the support of the bracket 30 on both sides of the shelf 20 through the arrangement of the above-mentioned shelf assembly. Compared with the solution in which the bracket 30 is supported on the rear side of the shelf 20, the load distribution of the bracket 30 is optimized, thereby greatly reducing the bending moment and deflection borne by the bracket 30, thereby reducing the deformation of the bracket 30 when carrying heavier items. Combined with the misaligned cooperation of the first support part 221, the second support part 222 and the corresponding limiting structure, the stability of the connection between the shelf 20 and the bracket 30 is enhanced, thereby greatly improving the load-bearing capacity and overall stability of the shelf 20, thereby effectively reducing the risk of the shelf 20 tilting and items sliding off.
