Wherein, the second limiting end is disposed at the second end of the receiving hole; a guiding piece disposed in the receiving hole. The slide rail section and the first limiting end are formed on the guiding piece. The second end of the guiding piece is fixedly connected to the mounting piece. The first end of the guiding piece extends obliquely away from the mounting piece towards the first end of the mounting piece.

[0043] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0044] Combined Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a shelf for a refrigerator, which includes a shelf board 100 and a translation switching mechanism. The shelf board 100 includes two opposite side ends 110 extending along a first direction. The translation switching mechanism is respectively arranged at the two side ends 110 of the shelf board 100. The translation switching mechanism at least includes a telescopic limiting component 200 and a guiding component 300. The telescopic limiting component 200 is fixedly arranged on the lower side surface of the shelf board 100 and extends along a second direction. The guiding component 300 is arranged on the surface to be installed of the shelf board 100. A slide rail 301 extending along the first direction is arranged on the guiding component 300. The slide rail 301 has a first limiting end 3011 and a second limiting end 3012. When the shelf board 100 slides from the first limiting end 3011 to the second limiting end 3012, the telescopic limiting component 200 is compressed and can slide out of the slide rail 301, so that the shelf board 100 is unlocked from the surface to be installed and moved out along the first direction. When the shelf board 100 slides from the second limiting end 3012 to the first limiting end 3011, the telescopic limiting component 200 releases elastic force and is clamped in the slide rail 301, so that the shelf board 100 is locked to the surface to be installed. Wherein, the first direction is the width direction of the shelf board 100, the second direction is the length direction of the shelf board 100, and the surface to be installed extends vertically.
[0045] Optionally, the surface to be installed includes two relatively arranged surfaces, which are respectively arranged corresponding to the two side ends 110 of the shelf 100. The surface to be installed is fixed, and the shelf 100 is detachably and slidably connected to the surface to be installed. Among them, the guiding component 300 is arranged on the surface to be installed, and the telescopic limiting component 200 is arranged at the two side ends 110 of the shelf 100. Through the slide rail 301 extending along the first direction on the guiding component 300, the sliding track of the telescopic limiting component 200 can be limited to proceed along the first direction, so that the shelf 100 can move along the first direction to be locked or unlocked with the surface to be installed.
[0046] Optionally, there are at least two sets of translation switching mechanisms, which are respectively located at the two side ends of the shelf 100. Preferably, there are at least four sets of translation switching mechanisms, which are respectively located at the four diagonals of the shelf 100 to improve stability.
[0047] Optionally, when the telescopic limiting component 200 is located at the first limiting end 3011 of the slide rail 301, the shelf 100 is locked with the surface to be installed. At this time, the telescopic limiting component 200 is in the first state; when the telescopic limiting component 200 is located at the second limiting end 3012 of the slide rail 301, it can move out of the slide rail 301, so that the shelf 100 can be unlocked from the surface to be installed. At this time, the telescopic limiting component 200 is in the second state; among them, the elastic compression amount of the telescopic limiting component 200 in the first state is less than that in the second state. Further, the first state can also be an extended state.
[0048] In this way, by making the telescopic limiting component 200 extend into the second limiting end 3012, a connection relationship can be established between the shelf 100 and the surface to be installed. At this time, the telescopic limiting component 200 elastically contracts. During the process of pushing the shelf 100 to move along the first direction towards the first limiting end 3011, the telescopic limiting component 200 slides along the slide rail 301 and releases elastic force. When it slides to the first limiting end 3011, it can be clamped at the first limiting end 3011, and the telescopic limiting component 200 is locked with the guiding component 300 to realize the locking of the shelf with the two surfaces to be installed. At the same time, under the clamping action of the surface to be installed on the telescopic limiting component 200 and the shelf 100, and the clamping action of the slide rail 301 on the telescopic limiting component 200, the support for the shelf 100 can be realized; further, by pulling the shelf 100 to move from the first limiting end 3011 towards the second limiting end 3012, under the restriction of the slide rail 301, the telescopic limiting component 200 is gradually compressed. When it moves to the second limiting end 3012, the telescopic limiting component 200 can move out of the second limiting end 3012, so that the shelf 100 is unlocked from the surface to be installed, and then the shelf 100 can be conveniently and quickly moved out.
[0049] Using the shelf for a refrigerator provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the translation and switching mechanism is correspondingly arranged at two side ends of the shelf. Wherein, through the slide rail arranged on the guiding component, the sliding track of the telescopic limiting component can be defined. By making the telescopic limiting component extend into the second limiting end, a connection relationship can be established between the shelf and the surface to be installed. At this time, the telescopic limiting component elastically contracts. When the shelf is pushed to move in the first direction towards the first limiting end, the telescopic limiting component slides along the slide rail and releases the elastic force, and finally is clamped at the first limiting end. At this time, the telescopic limiting components on both side ends of the shelf are clamped in the corresponding guiding grooves, so that the locking and supporting of the shelf can be realized; when the shelf is pulled to move from the first limiting end towards the second limiting end, under the limitation of the slide rail, the telescopic limiting component is gradually compressed, and finally the telescopic limiting component can be disengaged from the second limiting end, so that the shelf is unlocked from the surface to be installed, and the shelf can be conveniently and quickly taken out. In this way, the shelf can be locked or unlocked with the surface to be installed by translating in the first direction, so as to facilitate the movement and height adjustment of the shelf and improve the flexibility of the shelf adjustment.
[0050] Optionally, the telescopic limiting component 200 includes a fixing part 210, an elastic part 220 and a sliding part 230. The fixing part 210 extends along the second direction and is fixed to the lower side surface of the shelf 100; the first end of the elastic part 220 is fixedly connected to the fixing part 210; the sliding part 230 is fixed to the second end of the elastic part 220 and can extend out of the side end of the shelf 100. The sliding part 230 can penetrate into the slide rail 301 from the second limiting end 3012 and slide along the slide rail 301 to the first limiting end 3011, and the sliding part 230 can be clamped at the first limiting end 3011.
[0051] Optionally, the fixing part 210 is perpendicular to the surface to be installed and is fixed to the lower side surface of the shelf 100. On the one hand, it can provide a stable movement basis for the elastic part 220, and on the other hand, being arranged on the lower side surface can avoid occupying the space above the shelf 100.
[0052] Optionally, the elastic part 220 includes a spring, which has low cost and long service life.
[0053] Optionally, one end of the sliding part 230 is fixedly connected to the elastic part 220, and the other end extends out of the side end of the shelf 100. In this way, it can be ensured that the telescopic limiting component 200 contracts or extends in the second direction, and the supporting effect on the shelf 100 can be maintained.
[0054] Optionally, the sliding part 230 includes a sliding rod 231 and a limiting sliding head 232. The sliding rod 231 includes a first connection end and a second connection end. The first connection end of the sliding rod 231 is connected to the second end of the elastic part 220. The sliding rod 231 is used for sliding cooperation with the slide rail 301. The limiting sliding head 232 is arranged at the second connection end of the sliding rod 231. The limiting sliding head 232 can pass through the second limiting end 3012 so that the sliding rod 231 is inserted into the slide rail 301, and when the limiting sliding head 232 slides to the first limiting end 3011, it can be in abutting cooperation with the slide rail 301.
[0055] Optionally, the first connection end of the sliding rod 231 is connected to the second end of the elastic part 220, and a limiting sliding head 232 is arranged at the second connection end of the sliding rod 231. The limiting sliding head 232 can be snapped into the slide rail 301 from the second limiting end 3012, so that the sliding rod 231 extends into the slide rail 301 and can slide along the slide rail 301.
[0056] Optionally, when the limiting sliding head 232 slides to the first limiting end 3011, through the abutting cooperation with the first limiting end 3011 of the slide rail 301, the stability of the telescopic limiting component 200 can be ensured to realize the fixation and support of the shelf 100. Optionally, at this time, the elastic part 220 has a certain elastic contraction amount, but is much smaller than the elastic contraction amount when the telescopic limiting component 200 is located at the second limiting end 3012.
[0057] Optionally, the diameter of the limiting sliding head 232 is greater than the cross-sectional diameter of the sliding rod 231. The slide rail 301 further includes a slide rail section connected between the first limiting end 3011 and the second limiting end 3012. The width of the slide rail section matches the cross-sectional diameter of the sliding rod 231. Among them, the opening size of the second limiting end 3012 matches the shape profile of the limiting sliding head 232, and the opening size of the first limiting end 3011 matches the cross-sectional diameter of the sliding rod 231.
[0058] By making the diameter of the limiting sliding head 232 greater than the cross-sectional diameter of the sliding rod 231, the limiting sliding head 232 can be clamped in the slide rail 301 when it extends into the second limiting end 3012, so as to realize the support of both side ends of the shelf 100 and facilitate the synchronous movement with the shelf 100.
[0059] Optionally, the width of the slide rail section matches the cross-sectional diameter of the sliding rod 231. Among them, the opening size of the second limiting end 3012 matches the shape profile of the limiting sliding head 232, and the opening size of the first limiting end 3011 matches the cross-sectional diameter of the sliding rod 231. In this way, it can be avoided that the telescopic limiting component 200 shakes during the process of sliding along the slide rail 301 and when it is clamped at the first limiting end 3011, so as to maintain the stability of the shelf 100 during this movement process and the stability when it is locked to the installation surface.
[0060] Optionally, the distance between the first limiting end 3011 and the corresponding side end of the shelf 100 is greater than the distance between the second limiting end 3012 and the corresponding side end of the shelf 100.
[0061] In this way, the guiding track of the sliding rail 301 can be defined, so that the elastic compression amount of the telescopic limiting component 200 at the first limiting end 3011 is less than the elastic compression amount at the second limiting end 3012, and further, the locking of the shelf 100 at the first limiting end 3011 can be ensured.
[0062] Optionally, the guiding component 300 includes a mounting piece 310 and a guiding piece 320. The mounting piece 310 is provided with a receiving hole 311 extending in the second direction, wherein the second limiting end 3012 is arranged at the second end of the receiving hole 311; the guiding piece 320 is arranged in the receiving hole 311, the sliding rail section and the first limiting end 3011 are formed on the guiding piece 320, the second end of the guiding piece 320 is fixedly connected to the mounting piece 310, and the first end of the guiding piece 320 extends obliquely away from the mounting piece 310 towards the first end of the mounting piece 310.
[0063] By arranging the guiding piece 320 in the receiving hole 311 and fixedly connecting the second end of the guiding piece 320 to the mounting piece 310, the fixed connection between the two can be achieved; further, the sliding rail section and the first limiting end 3011 are formed on the guiding piece 320, and the first end of the guiding piece 320 extends obliquely away from the mounting piece 310 towards the first end of the mounting piece 310, thereby defining the sliding track of the telescopic limiting component 200. In addition, the material cost of the guiding component 300 can be reduced.
[0064] Optionally, the guiding piece 320 is arc-bent and connected to the mounting piece 310. In this way, the connection strength between the guiding piece 320 and the mounting piece 310 can be improved, and the stability of the sliding rail 301 can be enhanced.
[0065] Optionally, the translation switching mechanism further includes a housing 400. The housing 400 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed part 210 and the elastic part 220, and the housing 400 is arranged flush with the side end of the shelf 100 and fixedly connected to the lower surface of the shelf 100.
[0066] By providing the housing on the outer periphery of the fixed part 210 and the elastic part 220, the elastic part 220 and the fixed part 210 can be protected. At the same time, the elastic part 220 can be limited in the second direction to prevent deformation of the elastic part 220, so that it can only move in the second direction and undergo elastic deformation, that is, store or release elastic potential energy in the second direction.
[0067] Optionally, the housing 400 is fixedly connected to the fixed part 210.
[0068] Optionally, the translation switching mechanism further includes a base 500. The base 500 is fixedly arranged on the lower surface of the shelf 100. A receiving channel 510 extending in the second direction is provided on the base 500. The cover 400 can be installed in the receiving channel 510. One end of the receiving channel 510 is opened on the first side wall of the base 500 for the sliding part 230 to extend out; a cover plate 520 is detachably covered on the second side wall of the base 500 to close the other end of the receiving channel 510; wherein, the first side wall is vertically flush with the corresponding side end of the shelf 100.
[0069] By enabling the cover 400 to be installed in the receiving channel 510, even if the fixing part 210 and the elastic part 220 are both arranged in the cover 400, the contact area between the telescopic limiting component 200 and the shelf 100 can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the telescopic limiting component 200 and the shelf 100, and further improving the stability when the shelf 100 is locked to the surface to be installed.
[0070] Optionally, by providing a cover plate 520 detachably covered on the second side wall of the base 500, the other end of the receiving channel 510 can be opened or closed; when the other end of the receiving channel 510 is opened, it helps with the replacement or repair of the telescopic limiting component 200; when the other end of the receiving channel 510 is closed, it helps to improve the cleanliness inside the receiving channel 510 and avoid the accumulation of dust.
[0071] Optionally, the cover plate 520 is snap-connected to the base 500. A snap is provided on the cover plate 520. Correspondingly, a slot is provided on the base 500, and the slot is snap-connected to the snap to achieve the detachable connection between the cover plate 520 and the base 500.
[0072] Optionally, the translation switching mechanism further includes a decorative plate 600. The decorative plate 600 covers the upper side of the shelf 100 and is fixedly connected to the base 500.
[0073] Optionally, the shelf 100 is usually a glass shelf, so it has transparency and light transmittance. By covering the decorative plate 600 on the upper side of the shelf 100 and fixedly connecting it to the base 500, the base 500 can be shielded to improve the aesthetics.
[0074] Combined with Figures 5 to 9As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a refrigerator, which includes an inner container 700 and a shelf for the refrigerator as described above. The inner container 700 has two side plates 710 extending vertically and arranged oppositely. A chute 720 corresponding to the guiding assembly 300 is provided on the side plate 710.

The first stop end 721 corresponds to the first limiting end 3011, and the second stop end 722 corresponds to the second limiting end 3012. Wherein, the bottom wall of the chute 720 extends in a direction away from the inner surface of the side plate 710 from the second stop end 722 to the first stop end 721.
[0075] Optionally, the side plate 710 constitutes the surface to be installed of the shelf 100. By providing a chute 720 corresponding to the guiding assembly 300 on the side plate 710, wherein the chute 720 has a first stop end 721 and a second stop end 722, the first stop end 721 corresponds to the first limiting end 3011, and the second stop end 722 corresponds to the second limiting end 3012. That is to say, the bottom wall of the chute 720 extends in a direction away from the inner surface of the side plate 710 from the second stop end 722 to the first stop end 721. In this way, the chute 720 can be matched with the guiding assembly 300. On the one hand, it is used to install the guiding assembly 300, and on the other hand, when the telescopic limiting assembly 200 is located at the first limiting end 3011, it can be located in the chute, so as to ensure the locking and support of the shelf 100.
[0076] Optionally, the first limiting end 3011 and the first stop end 721 face the back panel of the inner container 700, and the second limiting end 3012 and the second stop end 722 face the opening of the inner container 700. In this way, it can be ensured that the shelf 100 moves along its own width direction to lock or unlock with the side plate 710.
[0077] Using the refrigerator provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the translation switching mechanism is correspondingly arranged at two side ends of the shelf. Among them, through the slide rail provided on the guiding component, the sliding track of the telescopic limiting component can be defined. By making the telescopic limiting component extend into the second limiting end, a connection relationship can be established between the shelf and the surface to be installed. At this time, the telescopic limiting component elastically contracts. When the shelf is pushed in the first direction towards the first limiting end, the telescopic limiting component slides along the slide rail and releases the elastic force, and finally is clamped at the first limiting end. At this time, the telescopic limiting components on both side ends of the shelf are clamped in the corresponding guiding grooves, so that the locking and supporting of the shelf can be realized; when the shelf is pulled from the first limiting end towards the second limiting end, under the limitation of the slide rail, the telescopic limiting component is gradually compressed, and finally the telescopic limiting component can be disengaged from the second limiting end, so that the shelf is unlocked from the surface to be installed, and the shelf can be conveniently and quickly taken out. In this way, the shelf can be locked or unlocked with the surface to be installed by translating in the first direction, so as to facilitate the movement and height adjustment of the shelf and improve the flexibility of shelf adjustment.
