These descriptions are appropriate when these components are in the positions shown in the accompanying drawings. If the descriptions of the positions of these components change, the indications of these directions will also change accordingly.

[0033] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the described features. In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0034] Existing refrigerator shelves are constructed of glass and decorative strips, making them heavy. Installing or removing the shelves, or relocating them, requires first removing the refrigerator's main unit and then placing it back in. Furthermore, the shelves often block access during removal or placement, making operation inconvenient and impacting the user experience. Therefore, a refrigeration device is proposed to address this issue.

[0035] The scheme is further illustrated by the following examples:

[0036] The refrigeration equipment of the present application is a device that maintains a constant low temperature, such as a refrigerator, freezer, etc. The refrigeration equipment can be used to keep food or other items at a constant low temperature.

[0037] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a refrigeration device according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a refrigeration device with shelves in an inclined position; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the connection between the shelves of the refrigeration equipment and the support components and the limit components; Figure 4 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the rotation of the shelves of a refrigeration equipment.

[0038] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The refrigeration device may include an inner container 1, a shelf 10, a support assembly 20, and a limit assembly 30. The shelf 10 may be connected to the inner container 1 through the support assembly 20 and the limit assembly 30.

[0039] The inner container 1 may be formed with a refrigeration compartment 2 with a front opening. The refrigeration compartment 2 can be used to place food or other items.

[0040] The inner side wall of the inner liner 1 can be set as a smooth vertical plane. The inner side wall of the inner liner 1 is set as a smooth plane, which can facilitate the blow molding of the inner liner 1 and improve production efficiency.

[0041] The left and right ends of the shelf 10 can be close to or attached to the inner wall of the inner container 1, that is, the left and right ends of the shelf 10 can be close to or attached to the inner wall of the refrigeration compartment 2 to improve the utilization rate of the space in the refrigeration compartment 2.

[0042] The refrigeration device may further include a door. The door can be used to close or open the refrigeration compartment 2, so as to facilitate the user to open or close the refrigeration compartment 2.

[0043] The shelf 10 can be configured as a flat plate structure to accommodate food or other items. The shelf 10 can be disposed within the inner container 1 and within the refrigeration compartment 2, and can be spaced apart within the refrigeration compartment 2 to improve space utilization of the refrigeration compartment 2 and facilitate daily use by users.

[0044] The limiting assembly 30 can be provided on the inner container 1 to support the shelf 10. The limiting assembly 30 can protrude from the inner side surface of the refrigeration compartment 2 so that the limiting assembly 30 can support the shelf 10.

[0045] There may be multiple limiting assemblies 30 , which are spaced apart in the vertical direction and located on the inner wall of the refrigeration compartment 2 , so that the shelf 10 can be arranged at different heights in the refrigeration compartment 2 .

[0046] On the same horizontal plane, two limiting assemblies 30 may be provided on the inner container 1. The two limiting assemblies 30 are respectively provided on the left and right side walls of the refrigeration compartment 2 to support the shelf 10 in the left and right directions.

[0047] On the same horizontal plane, two support assemblies 20 can be provided on the inner container 1. The two support assemblies 20 are respectively provided on the left and right side walls of the refrigeration compartment 2 to support the shelf 10 in the left and right directions.

[0048] On the same horizontal plane, the support assembly 20 and the limiting assembly 30 may be spaced apart, that is, the support assembly 20 and the limiting assembly 30 are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction to support the shelf 10 .

[0049] The support assembly 20 may be disposed on the inner side wall of the refrigeration compartment 2 and located on a side away from the opening of the refrigeration compartment 2 .

[0050] The support assembly 20 may include a connecting member 21 and a support base 22 .

[0051] The support base 22 can be fixed on the inner wall of the refrigeration compartment 2. The support base 22 extends vertically.

[0052] The support base 22 may be provided with a plurality of support portions 221 , and the plurality of support portions 221 are vertically spaced apart on the support base 22 .

[0053] Multiple limit assemblies 30 correspond one-to-one to multiple support parts 221 in the vertical direction, that is, the limit assemblies 30 and the support parts 221 are arranged correspondingly on the same horizontal plane, so that the shelf 10 can be supported on the limit assemblies 30 and support parts 221 at different positions in the horizontal direction.

[0054] The connecting member 21 can be fixed on the left and right sides of the shelf 10. That is, one end of the connecting member 21 can be fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the shelf 10.

[0055] The other end of the connecting member 21 can be connected to the support base 22 , so that the shelf 10 can be connected to the support base 22 through the connecting member 21 .

[0056] The connecting member 21 can be rotatably connected to the support base 22 around a horizontal axis, so that the shelf 10 can rotate relative to the inner container 1 and the shelf 10 can switch between a horizontal state and an inclined state.

[0057] The connecting member 21 can move in the vertical direction along the supporting base 22 to adjust the vertical position of the connecting member 21 and the shelf 10.

[0058] In the horizontal state, the shelf 10 can be arranged horizontally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 At this point, the connector 21 is supported on the support portion 221, and the stopper assembly 30 is also supported on the bottom surface of the shelf 10. That is, in a horizontal state, the support assembly 20 and the stopper assembly 30 can jointly support the shelf 10 in the horizontal direction, allowing food or other items to be placed on the shelf 10.

[0059] In the tilted state, the shelf 10 has an angle with the horizontal plane, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 At this point, the connector 21 and the support portion 221 are separated, and the stop assembly 30 is also detached from the bottom of the shelf 10. Simultaneously, due to the separation of the connector 21 and the support portion 221, the shelf 10 can slide vertically relative to the support base 22, and the vertical position of the shelf 10 can be adjusted, that is, the position of the shelf 10 within the refrigeration compartment 2 can be adjusted.

[0060] Figure 5 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a support assembly of a refrigeration device; Figure 6 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the connection parts of the refrigeration equipment; Figure 7 yes Figure 1 Another schematic diagram of a support assembly for a refrigeration device.

[0061] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 A protruding overlapping portion 211 may be formed on the peripheral side of the connecting member 21.

[0062] When the shelf 10 is rotated to a horizontal state, the vertical projection of the overlapping portion 211 can overlap with the supporting portion 221 , so that the overlapping portion 211 can be supported on the supporting portion 221 .

[0063] When the shelf 10 is rotated to the tilted position, the vertical projection of the overlapping portion 211 and the vertical projection of the supporting portion 221 are horizontally offset. That is, the overlapping portion 211 and the supporting portion 221 can be offset vertically, allowing the connector 21 to move relative to the support base 22, thereby preventing interference between the overlapping portion 211 and the supporting portion 221 during movement.

[0064] Therefore, after the shelf 10 is rotated to the tilted state, it can be moved vertically relative to the support base 22 to adjust the vertical position of the shelf 10. After the shelf 10 is moved to the predetermined position, the shelf 10 is rotated from the tilted state to the horizontal state, so that the overlapping portion 211 is supported on the support portion 221 and the shelf 10 can be extended in the horizontal direction, thereby completing the adjustment of the position of the shelf 10.

[0065] See Figure 5 and Figure 7 The support seat 22 may be provided with a guide groove 222 extending vertically. The guide groove 222 is a through guide groove, so that the connector 21 can be inserted into the guide groove 222 to limit the connector 21 so that the connector 21 can move vertically along the guide groove 222.

[0066] See Figure 6 , a connecting column 212 can be provided on the connecting member 21.

[0067] The connecting post 212 is connected between the shelf 10 and the overlapping portion 211 and is inserted into the guide groove 222 to allow the connector 21 to slide vertically along the guide groove 222. The diameter of the connecting post 212 is adapted to the width of the guide groove 222, so that the connecting post 212 can be inserted into the guide groove 222. The guide groove 222 can also limit the connecting post 212 to prevent the connector 21 from shaking horizontally relative to the support base 22.

[0068] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 , a connecting groove 213 can be provided on the connecting member 21.

[0069] The connecting groove 213 can be provided on the side of the connecting column 212 facing away from the overlapping portion 211. The connecting groove 213 is used to snap onto the side of the shelf 10, so that the connector 21 can be connected to the shelf 10. The width of the connecting groove 213 is adapted to the thickness of the shelf 10, so that the shelf 10 can be firmly snapped into the connecting groove 213.

[0070] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the connecting member 21 can also be provided with a limiting column 214.

[0071] The limiting post 214 can be disposed on a side of the connecting post 212 facing away from the overlapping portion 211. The diameter of the limiting post 214 is larger than the diameter of the connecting post 212, so that when the connecting post 212 passes through the inner chamber of the guide groove 222, the limiting post 214 and the overlapping portion 211 can jointly limit the connector 21 on the support seat 22.

[0072] The connecting groove 213 can be provided at the end of the limiting column 214 away from the connecting column 212 so as to be able to be clamped on the side of the shelf 10 .

[0073] See Figure 7 A limiting groove 224 can be set on the support seat 22.

[0074] The limiting groove 224 is provided on a side of the support base 22 facing the interior of the refrigeration compartment 2 .

[0075] The limiting groove 224 is used to accommodate the limiting column 214 so that the limiting column 214 can move in the limiting groove 224 , thereby improving the stability of the connecting member 21 when moving relative to the support base 22 .

[0076] See Figure 5 , two overlapping portions 211 may be provided on the connecting member 21. The two overlapping portions 211 are spaced apart.

[0077] Two supporting portions 221 are provided at height positions corresponding to the overlapping portions 211 , and the two supporting portions 221 correspond to one overlapping portion 211 respectively.

[0078] A supporting rib 223 may be provided on the supporting portion 221 .

[0079] The support ribs 223 can extend horizontally, i.e., the upper surface of the support ribs 223 extends horizontally. The two support ribs 223 are spaced apart horizontally. The two support ribs 223 can be arranged vertically up and down, i.e., the two support ribs 223 are staggered horizontally.

[0080] The overlapping portion 211 may be provided with an overlapping section 215. In a horizontal state, the overlapping section 215 can extend horizontally and overlap the upper surface of the supporting rib 223 to improve the stability of the overlapping connection between the overlapping portion 211 and the supporting portion 221, so that the supporting portion 221 can firmly support the connecting member 21 and ensure the stability of the shelf 10.

[0081] It should be noted that when the shelf 10 is in a horizontal state, the overlapping section 215 can overlap the upper surface of the support rib 223 located above, and the upper surface of the support rib 223 located below also abuts against the overlapping portion 211, so that the two support ribs 223 can abut and support the connecting piece 21, thereby ensuring that the shelf 10 can remain stable in the horizontal direction.

[0082] See Figure 5 Since the two support ribs 223 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, the thickness of the upper support rib 223 is greater than the thickness of the lower support rib 223, so as to improve the structural strength of the upper support rib 223, so that when the overlapping portion 211 is overlapped on the support rib 223, the upper support rib 223 can better support the connecting piece 21 and ensure the stability of the shelf 10.

[0083] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the limiting assembly 30 can be extended and retracted toward the refrigeration compartment 2 .

[0084] When the limiting assembly 30 extends into the refrigeration compartment 2, the limiting assembly 30 can abut against the bottom of the shelf 10 and support the front side of the shelf 10 to improve the stability of the shelf 10 when extending in the horizontal direction.

[0085] When the limiting assembly 30 retracts and leaves the refrigerating chamber 2 , the limiting assembly 30 and the shelf 10 are separated from each other and avoid interference with the rotation of the shelf 10 , so that the shelf 10 can rotate relative to the inner container 1 .

[0086] Figure 8 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a limit assembly of a refrigeration equipment; Figure 9 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an exploded view of a limiting component of a refrigeration equipment; Figure 10 yes Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of a limiting component of a refrigeration device.

[0087] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 The limiting assembly 30 may include a mounting seat 31 and a limiting member 32 .

[0088] The mounting base 31 can be fixed on the inner wall of the refrigeration compartment 2 .

[0089] The end of the stopper 32 facing the refrigeration compartment 2 can extend into the refrigeration compartment 2 and engage the shelf 10 to support and limit the shelf 10. The other end of the stopper 32 can extend into the mounting seat 31 and can move relative to the mounting seat 31, allowing the stopper 32 to switch between an engaged position and a disengaged position. When the stopper 32 moves relative to the mounting seat 31, it drives the end of the stopper 32 facing the refrigeration compartment 2 to extend or retract into the mounting seat 31.

[0090] When the stopper 32 is in the engaging position, one end of the stopper 32 can extend into the refrigeration compartment 2 to engage with the side of the shelf 10. That is, the engaging groove 324 can extend into the refrigeration compartment 2 to engage the shelf 10.

[0091] When the limiting member 32 is in the disengaged position, one end of the limiting member 32 can be separated from the refrigerating compartment 2 , so that the end of the limiting member 32 facing the refrigerating compartment 2 is separated from the shelf 10 and no longer supports and limits the shelf 10 .

[0092] A snap-in slot 324 may be provided on one end of the limiting member 32 facing the interior of the refrigerating chamber 2. The snap-in slot 324 is used to snap-in to the side of the shelf 10 so as to support and limit the shelf 10.

[0093] See Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 The limiting assembly 30 may further include a locking member 33 and a reset member 34 .

[0094] The locking member 33 may be provided on the mounting seat 31. When the limiting member 32 moves to the disengaged position, the locking member 33 may limit the limiting member 32 to restrict the movement of the limiting member 32.

[0095] It should be noted that one end of the locking member 33 facing the refrigeration compartment 2 can be connected to the refrigeration compartment 2, so that the user can directly operate the locking member 33 through the refrigeration compartment 2, so that the locking member 33 can drive the limiting member 32 to move between the engaged position and the disengaged position.

[0096] The reset member 34 can abut between the limiting member 32 and the mounting seat 31 to drive the limiting member 32 to move from the disengaged position to the engaged position.

[0097] The reset member 34 can be configured as a spring, an elastic plastic member, a spring plate, etc.

[0098] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 The limiting assembly 30 may further include a return member 35 .

[0099] The return member 35 abuts between the locking member 33 and the mounting seat 31 to drive the locking member 33 to move toward the inside of the refrigeration compartment 2 .

[0100] The return member 35 can be configured as a spring, an elastic plastic member, a spring plate, etc.

[0101] See Figure 10 The limiting member 32 may be provided with a protruding elastic hook 321. The elastic hook 321 may extend in the left-right direction.

[0102] A protruding latch portion 322 may be formed on one end of the elastic hook 321 facing away from the limiting member 32 . The latch portion 322 protrudes toward the locking member 33 .

[0103] The locking member 33 may be disposed on the mounting base 31 and may slide along the left-right direction relative to the mounting base 31. A surface of the locking member 33 facing the limiting member 32 may include an abutting section 331 and a locking section 332 connected to each other.

[0104] When in the engaged position, the locking portion 322 can press between the limiting member 32 and the locking section 332 , so that the limiting member 32 can slide left and right.

[0105] When in the disengaged position, the locking portion 322 is positioned on the abutting section 331 to limit the sliding movement of the limiting member 32 .

[0106] See Figure 10 The abutting section 331 extends in a direction away from the locking section 332 and in a direction away from the limiting member 32 .

[0107] The abutting section 331 is tilted downwardly toward a side away from the locking section 332 , so that the latch portion 322 can move along the abutting section 331 to the locking section 332 , and the limiting member 32 can move from the disengaged position to the engaged position.

[0108] The abutting section 331 is located on a side of the locking section 332 away from the refrigerating compartment 2 .

[0109] The buckle portion 322 can fit on the abutting section 331 and limit the sliding of the limiter 32 through friction. That is, the abutting section 331 can abut the buckle portion 322 to limit the movement of the limiter 32 toward the refrigeration compartment 2 and lock the limiter 32 in the disengaged position.

[0110] See Figure 10The locking section 332 can extend in the horizontal direction or be set at an angle so that the locking section 332 can press the snap portion 322 between the limiting member 32 and the locking member 33, so that the snap portion 322 can abut between the main body of the limiting member 32 and the locking member 33 to lock the limiting member 32 in the snap-in position, preventing the limiting member 32 from automatically moving horizontally and preventing the limiting member 32 from detaching from the shelf 10.

[0111] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 A first cavity 311 and a second cavity 312 may be provided in the mounting seat 31 .

[0112] The first cavity 311 may be used to accommodate the limiting member 32 , and the second cavity 312 may be used to accommodate the locking member 33 .

[0113] The first cavity 311 and the second cavity 312 are both provided with openings on one side facing the inside of the refrigeration compartment 2 so that the first cavity 311 and the second cavity 312 can communicate with the refrigeration compartment 2 and the limiting member 32 and the locking member 33 can extend into the refrigeration compartment 2.

[0114] The first cavity 311 and the second cavity 312 can also be communicated with each other, so that the buckle portion 322 can press between the limiting member 32 and the locking member 33 .

[0115] The stopper 32 may be provided with a stop step 323 on one side facing the interior of the refrigeration compartment 2. The stop step 323 is used to stop against the mounting seat 31 to prevent the stopper 32 from being disengaged from the first cavity 311 under the stop of the reset member 34.

[0116] A locking step 333 may be provided on the side of the locking member 33 facing the inside of the refrigeration compartment 2. The locking step 333 is used to resist against the mounting base 31 to prevent the locking member 33 from disengaging from the second cavity 312 under the resisting of the return member 35.

[0117] It should be noted that the limiting member 32 can move toward the refrigeration compartment 2 under the support and driving of the reset member 34, so that the limiting member 32 is in the engaging position. At this time, the engaging groove 324 is engaged with the side of the shelf 10 to support and limit the shelf 10.

[0118] Manually pressing the side of the stopper 32 that extends into the refrigeration compartment 2 causes the stopper 32 to move away from the refrigeration compartment 2. The stopper 32 moves toward the disengaged position, and the engaging groove 324 disengages from the side of the shelf 10. Simultaneously, the latch portion 322 moves along the locking section 332 to the abutting section 331, causing the latch portion 322 to abut against the locking section 332. At this point, the locking step 333 of the locking member 33 abuts against the mounting seat 31, preventing the locking member 33 from moving relative to the mounting seat 31 toward the interior of the refrigeration compartment 2. Furthermore, the latch portion 322 abuts against the locking section 332. Due to the restraint of the locking section 332, the stopper 32 cannot move toward the interior of the refrigeration compartment 2 under the drive of the return member 34, thereby locking the stopper 32 in the disengaged position.

[0119] When the stopper 32 is in the disengaged position, manually pressing the end of the locking member 33 toward the interior of the refrigerating compartment 2 allows the locking member 33 to move away from the refrigerating compartment 2. At this point, the abutting section 331 abuts the latch portion 322, allowing the locking member 33 to drive the stopper 32 away from the refrigerating compartment 2. Simultaneously, because the reset member 34 abuts between the mounting seat 31 and the stopper 32, when the thrust exerted by the reset member 34 on the stopper 32 is greater than the thrust exerted by the abutting section 331 on the latch portion 322, the latch portion 322 moves along the abutting section 331 onto the locking section 332. At this point, because the latch portion 322 is disengaged from the abutting section 331, the stopper 32, driven by the reset member 34, can move toward the engaged position, allowing the latch slot 324 to engage the edge of the shelf 10.

[0120] At the same time, when the locking member 33 is no longer pressed, the locking member 33 can be driven by the return member 35 to move toward the inside of the refrigeration compartment 2 until the locking step 333 of the locking member 33 abuts against the mounting seat 31 .

[0121] In summary, the shelf 10, supported by the support assembly 20 and the stop assembly 30, can be horizontally supported within the refrigeration compartment 2 of the inner tank 1. Furthermore, after disengaging the stop assembly 30 and rotating the shelf 10 to a predetermined angle, the overlapping portion 211 of the connector 21 can be disengaged from the upper support portion 221 of the support seat 22, allowing the shelf 10 and the connector 21 to move vertically along the guide slot 222 of the support seat 22, and adjusting the position of the shelf 10. This simplifies the adjustment of the shelf 10's position and facilitates user adjustment of the shelf 10.
