Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of freezer shelf technology, and in particular to a freezer shelf structure and a freezer. Background Technology

[0002] Freezers (including refrigerators, display cases, etc.) typically have several shelves inside for categorizing and displaying goods. To accommodate the storage needs of goods of different sizes and heights, or to facilitate cleaning and maintenance of the freezer interior, the shelves are usually designed to be detachable or height-adjustable. Therefore, the way the shelves are installed and connected to the freezer's inner wall directly affects the ease of use for the user.

[0003] Currently, most freezers on the market (especially those equipped with self-weight slides) use a multi-set of independently adjustable clips for fixing and removing shelves. Specifically, during installation, four adjustable clips must first be hooked onto the four uprights on the inner walls of the freezer on each side. The shelf body (or the matching wire mesh frame or tray) is then placed on top of the clips, and each clip is tightened individually to secure the shelf. When removing or adjusting the shelf height, all four clips must be unlocked one by one. Only after all clips are unlocked can the shelf be removed from the uprights or moved to the target height. After moving it into position, all four clips must be tightened again to ensure the shelf is stably fixed. However, this method of locking the clips one by one makes the installation or adjustment of shelf height cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Improper operation can also damage the clips or cause unstable installation, severely impacting user efficiency and experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problem of cumbersome and inefficient operation caused by the need to operate multiple locking points individually when disassembling or adjusting the height of existing freezer shelves, this application provides a freezer shelf structure.

[0005] Firstly, the freezer shelf structure provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A freezer shelf structure for use in a freezer, the freezer shelf structure comprising:

[0007] Shelf body;

[0008] The locking structure includes a plurality of locking pins disposed on the main body of the shelf. Each locking pin is movable in a left-right direction. During its movement, each locking pin has a locking position for engaging with a corresponding lock hole inside the freezer, and an unlocking position for disengaging from the corresponding lock hole inside the freezer; and...

[0009] The unlocking structure includes an unlocking component movably disposed on the shelf body, the unlocking component being drively connected to the plurality of locking pins so as to drive the plurality of locking pins to synchronously switch from the locked position to the unlocked position during the active stroke.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and synchronously driving multiple locking pins, users can unlock and lock the shelves with one click, eliminating the need for tedious individual operations. This improves operational efficiency, reduces the risk of damage to the latches due to improper operation, and makes the shelf adjustment process smoother. This solves the problem of tedious and inefficient operation caused by the need to operate multiple locking points one by one when disassembling or adjusting the height of existing freezer shelves.

[0011] Optionally, the unlocking element is movably mounted on the shelf body in the front-to-back direction;

[0012] The freezer shelf structure also includes a transmission assembly disposed between the unlocking member and the plurality of locking pins, the transmission assembly being used to convert the forward and backward movement of the unlocking member into the left and right movement of the locking pins.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the direction of the unlocking operation is set to the forward and backward direction, which conforms to the user's daily operating habits. At the same time, the direction of movement is converted through the transmission component, which not only facilitates the user's force operation, but also ensures that the locking pin can move in the left and right directions as needed, thus ensuring the normal realization of the locking and unlocking functions.

[0014] Optionally, the transmission assembly includes:

[0015] The transmission component is movably mounted on the shelf body in the front-to-back direction and is connected to the unlocking component;

[0016] The sliding element includes a plurality of sliders movably mounted to the shelf body in a left-right direction, and a plurality of locking pins respectively mounted on the plurality of sliders; and,

[0017] Multiple transmission structures are provided, each corresponding to a multiple slider. Each transmission structure includes an inclined driving part and a mating groove. The driving part is formed on the transmission member, and the mating groove is provided on the slider. The driving part and the mating groove cooperate to convert the forward and backward movement of the transmission member into the left and right movement of the locking pin.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking pin is supported by a slider and combined with an inclined transmission structure. On the one hand, the movement of the locking pin is more stable, ensuring that multiple locking pins can move synchronously under the drive of the transmission component. On the other hand, the power of the transmission component can be evenly transmitted to each slider, so that the movement speed and displacement of multiple locking pins are consistent. This prevents some locking pins from unlocking first and others from unlocking later, ensuring that the shelf is subjected to uniform force when unlocking and avoiding the shelf from tilting or being damaged due to uneven force.

[0019] Optionally, the transmission assembly further includes a guide structure, which includes a guide post and a guide hole that cooperate with each other for guidance. The guide post is located on the shelf body and extends in the left-right direction, and the guide hole is located on the slider.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to effectively prevent the slider from tilting or deviating during the operation, ensuring that the slider always moves in the left and right direction. This allows the locking pin to be accurately aligned with the lock hole of the freezer when moving left and right, avoiding the locking pin from failing to enter or exit the lock hole due to slider deviation, reducing the probability of failure in locking and unlocking operations. It also disperses the force on the slider during movement, preventing the slider from being damaged due to excessive force on one side, which helps to improve the structural strength of the slider and the entire transmission assembly, thereby helping to extend the overall service life of the shelf.

[0021] Optionally, the mating groove has a first inner sidewall and a second inner sidewall disposed opposite to each other. The first inner sidewall is inclined, and the second inner sidewall includes a first sidewall segment and a second sidewall segment. The first sidewall segment is inclined and parallel to the first inner sidewall, and the second sidewall segment extends back and forth, so that the width of the mating groove gradually increases in the direction away from the first sidewall segment.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the parallel arrangement of the first inner sidewall and the first sidewall section ensures that the driving part is subjected to uniform force when sliding in the mating groove, preventing jamming caused by unilateral compression and ensuring that power can be smoothly transmitted to the slider, making the unlocking and locking actions of the locking pin smoother. It also enables the driving part to drive the slider to reciprocate in the left and right directions. Furthermore, by setting the second sidewall section, the movement of the transmission component is not restricted, allowing the transmission component to drive multiple driving parts to move synchronously.

[0023] Optionally, the locking pin is detachably mounted to the slider; and / or,

[0024] The shelf body has a mounting cavity and a through hole. The transmission component is disposed in the mounting cavity. The through hole communicates with the mounting cavity. The unlocking component passes through the through hole to connect with the transmission component.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking pin adopts a detachable design, which makes the maintenance and replacement of the locking pin more flexible, thereby helping to reduce the difficulty of later maintenance; by setting up an installation cavity to accommodate the transmission component, it can effectively isolate the transmission component from dust, moisture and stored items inside the freezer, prevent dust from entering the transmission component and causing jamming, avoid moisture corrosion causing rust and extend the service life of the transmission component, and hide the transmission component, making the appearance more concise and beautiful.

[0026] Optionally, the plurality of locking pins form two locking pin groups, and the two locking pin groups are spaced apart on both sides of the shelf body in the left-right direction. Each locking pin group includes a plurality of locking pins spaced apart in the front-back direction.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking pin groups set on the left and right sides ensure that the shelf is subjected to balanced force in the left and right directions, avoiding the shelf from tilting or loosening due to unilateral fixation. Furthermore, the multiple locking pins set at intervals in each locking pin group can not only expand the locking range and prevent the shelf from sliding due to front and back forces during use, but also distribute the pressure from the weight of the items, reducing the load on the locking pins and thus helping to extend the service life of the locking pins.

[0028] Optionally, the freezer shelf structure further includes a transmission component, which includes two transmission rods respectively corresponding to two locking pin groups. Both transmission rods extend in the front-rear direction to connect with multiple locking pins of the locking pin groups. The two ends of the unlocking component are respectively connected to the two transmission rods.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the unlocking component is connected to transmission rods at both ends, which allows the transmission rods on both sides to move completely synchronously. This ensures that the locking pins of both locking pin assemblies start moving at the same time, preventing one side from being unlocked while the other side remains locked. This avoids the shelf from tilting or getting stuck due to force on one side, ensuring a smooth disassembly and assembly process. Furthermore, it allows users to apply only one force to the unlocking component to move both transmission rods without having to operate the locking pin assemblies on both sides separately, which can significantly reduce the operation frequency and thus help improve the user experience.

[0030] Optionally, the freezer shelf structure further includes a reset member disposed between the transmission member and the shelf body, for driving the locking pin to reset from the unlocked position to the locked position.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, after adjusting the height of the shelf, the user only needs to release the lock, and the locking pin will automatically pop out and lock into the corresponding lock hole. There is no need to perform a tedious manual locking operation again. This can greatly improve the convenience of operation and ensure that the shelf is always in a reliable locked state during use, preventing shelf slippage or goods tipping over due to human negligence.

[0032] Secondly, the freezer provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0033] A freezer includes:

[0034] The housing has multiple lock holes;

[0035] A freezer shelf structure includes a shelf body; a locking structure including a plurality of locking pins disposed on the shelf body, each locking pin being movable in a left-right direction, and each locking pin having a locking position capable of engaging with a lock hole and an unlocking position capable of disengaging from the lock hole during its movable stroke; and an unlocking structure including an unlocking member movably disposed on the shelf body, the unlocking member being kinetically connected to the plurality of locking pins so as to drive the plurality of locking pins to synchronously switch from the locking position to the unlocking position during its movable stroke.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution and organically integrating the shelf structure with the freezer shell, convenient shelf adjustment is achieved. The technical effect of this embodiment is reflected in the improvement of the overall user experience of the freezer. By setting multiple lock holes on the shell, multiple height adjustment positions are provided for the shelf structure. Users can freely choose a suitable position according to the height of the stored items, greatly improving the storage flexibility of the freezer. Furthermore, the synchronous unlocking and automatic reset function of the shelf structure, in conjunction with the lock holes on the shell, allows users to complete shelf adjustment without cumbersome operations.

[0037] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0038] 1. This application achieves synchronous driving of multiple locking pins to switch between locked and unlocked positions by connecting the unlocking component with multiple locking pins through transmission. This can significantly improve the operational efficiency of shelf adjustment, avoid the tedious process of operating each locking point one by one in the prior art, and effectively reduce the risk of damage to the buckles caused by multiple adjustments.

[0039] 2. By setting a reset component, the locking pin can automatically reset from the unlocked position to the locked position after the user releases the unlocking component, without the need for manual locking. This greatly improves the convenience of operation and ensures that the shelf is always in a reliable locked state, preventing shelf slippage or goods tipping over due to human negligence.

[0040] 3. By cooperating with the drive unit and the mating groove, multiple locking pins are ensured to move synchronously under the drive of the transmission component, with consistent movement speed and displacement. This avoids uneven force caused by some locking pins unlocking first or last, thus helping to prevent the shelf from tilting or being damaged, and improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0053] 1000, Freezer; 200, Shell; 210, Keyhole. Detailed Implementation

[0054] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 10 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0055] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 A freezer shelf structure 100 is used in a freezer 1000. The freezer shelf structure 100 includes a shelf body 1, a locking structure 2, and an unlocking structure 3. The locking structure 2 includes a plurality of locking pins 21 disposed on the shelf body 1. Each locking pin 21 is movably disposed in the left and right direction. During its movement, each locking pin 21 has a locking position that can be engaged with a corresponding lock hole 210 in the freezer 1000, and an unlocking position that can be separated from the corresponding lock hole 210 in the freezer 1000. The unlocking structure 3 includes an unlocking member 31 movably disposed on the shelf body 1. The unlocking member 31 is convexly connected to the plurality of locking pins 21 so as to drive the plurality of locking pins 21 to synchronously switch from the locking position to the unlocking position during its movement.

[0056] It should be noted that this application uses the user as a directional reference. "Forward" refers to the direction facing the user, or the direction facing the side of the freezer 1000 where the door is located; "backward" refers to the direction opposite to "forward," specifically the direction away from the user; and "up and down" refers to the direction with gravity as a reference. Furthermore, the shelf body 1 needs to be used to support items and needs to have a certain strength and hardness. Its material can be various, such as metals like iron and steel, or polymers like plastic, as long as it meets the strength and hardness requirements of the shelf body 1. This application's embodiments do not limit this. Furthermore, the number of locking pins 21 can be various, including two, three, four, or five, etc. This application's embodiments do not limit this.

[0057] Understandably, please refer to the following: Figures 7 to 10 When it is necessary to unlock the shelf, operate the unlocking component 31 to drive multiple locking pins 21 to switch from the locked position to the unlocked position simultaneously. At this time, the locking pins 21 are separated from the lock hole 210 of the freezer 1000, and the shelf can be easily removed or its height adjusted. After the shelf is adjusted to the target position, operate the unlocking component 31 to reset, so that it drives the locking pins 21 back to the locked position. At this time, the locking pins 21 and the lock hole 210 re-engage, thereby fixing the shelf inside the shell 200 of the freezer 1000.

[0058] In the technical solution of this application, by synchronously driving multiple locking pins 21, users can unlock and lock the shelves with one click, eliminating the need for tedious individual operations. This not only improves operational efficiency but also reduces the risk of damage to the latches due to improper operation, making the shelf adjustment process smoother. This solves the problem of tedious and inefficient operation caused by the need to operate multiple locking points one by one when disassembling or adjusting the height of existing freezer shelves.

[0059] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 5 The unlocking component 31 is movably mounted on the shelf body 1 in the front-back direction. The freezer shelf structure 100 also includes a transmission component 4 disposed between the unlocking component 31 and multiple locking pins 21. The transmission component 4 is used to convert the front-back movement of the unlocking component 31 into the left-right movement of the locking pins 21. Specifically, when the user pushes or pulls the unlocking component 31 in the front-back direction, the transmission component 4 converts the front-back movement of the unlocking component 31 into the left-right movement of the locking pins 21, so that the movement of the unlocking component 31 can be accurately transmitted to the locking pins 21, causing the locking pins 21 to switch from the locked position to the unlocked position in the left-right direction. In this way, the direction of the unlocking operation is set to the front-back direction, which conforms to the user's daily operating habits. At the same time, the conversion of the movement direction is realized through the transmission component 4, which not only facilitates the user's force operation, but also ensures that the locking pins 21 move in the left-right direction as needed, ensuring the normal realization of the locking and unlocking functions.

[0060] It is understood that the unlocking component 31 can move in various ways. In other embodiments, the unlocking component 31 can also be rotatably mounted on the shelf body 1. The embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0061] In one embodiment of this application, the transmission assembly 4 includes a transmission member 41, a sliding member 42, and a transmission structure 43. The transmission member 41 is movably mounted on the shelf body 1 in the front-back direction and is connected to the unlocking member 31. The sliding member 42 includes a plurality of sliders 421 movably mounted on the shelf body 1 in the left-right direction. A plurality of locking pins 21 are respectively mounted on the plurality of sliders 421. A plurality of transmission structures 43 are respectively provided corresponding to the plurality of sliders 421. Each transmission structure 43 includes an inclined driving part 431 and a mating groove 432. The driving part 431 is formed on the transmission member 41, and the mating groove 432 is provided on the slider 421. The driving part 431 and the mating groove 432 cooperate to convert the movement stroke of the transmission member 41 in the front-back direction into the movement stroke of the locking pin 21 in the left-right direction. When the unlocking component 31 is active, it drives the transmission component 41 to move, causing the inclined drive part 431 to slide within the mating groove 432 of the slider 421. Because the drive part 431 and the mating groove 432 are inclined, the drive part 431 exerts a lateral force on the mating groove 432 during sliding, thus pushing the slider 421 to move laterally. The slider 421 then drives the locking pin 21 mounted on it to move laterally, achieving locking or unlocking. In this way, by using the slider 421 to support the locking pin 21 and cooperating with the inclined transmission structure 43, the movement of the locking pin 21 is made more stable, ensuring that multiple locking pins 21 can move synchronously under the drive of the transmission component 41. Furthermore, the power of the transmission component 41 is evenly transmitted to each slider 421, ensuring that the movement speed and displacement of multiple locking pins 21 remain consistent. This prevents some locking pins 21 from unlocking first and others later, ensuring uniform force distribution when the shelf is unlocked and avoiding tilting or damage due to uneven force.

[0062] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 4 to 6The transmission assembly 4 also includes a guide structure 44, which includes a guide post 441 and a guide hole 442 that cooperate with each other for guidance. The guide post 441 is located on the shelf body 1 and extends in the left-right direction, while the guide hole 442 is located on the slider 421. When the slider 421 moves in the left-right direction, the guide hole 442 slides along the guide post 441. The guide post 441 restricts and guides the movement of the slider 421, ensuring that the slider 421 can only move in a straight line in the left-right direction and will not deviate laterally or rotate. Thus, the combination of guide structure 44 and slider 421 can effectively prevent slider 421 from tilting or deviating during operation, ensuring that slider 421 always moves in the left and right direction. This allows locking pin 21 to accurately align with the lock hole 210 of freezer 1000 when moving left and right, avoiding the locking pin 21 failing to enter or exit the lock hole 210 due to slider 421 deviation, reducing the probability of failure in locking and unlocking operations. It can also distribute the force on slider 421 during movement, preventing slider 421 from being damaged due to excessive force on one side. This helps to improve the structural strength of slider 421 and the entire transmission assembly 4, thereby helping to extend the overall service life of the shelf.

[0063] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 Two guide structures 44 are provided, spaced apart at both ends of the slider 421 in the front-to-back direction. By setting two guide structures 44 spaced apart in the front-to-back direction, on the one hand, the force on the front and back ends of the slider 421 is more balanced during the movement, and it will not sag or tilt due to the lack of guidance at one end. This ensures that the slider 421 always moves horizontally, so that the locking pin 21 always remains parallel and aligned with the locking hole 210 during the movement, avoiding jamming or damage caused by the locking pin 21 being inserted into the locking hole 210 in an inclined state. On the other hand, it can enhance the deformation resistance of the slider 421. Even if the slider 421 is subjected to external impact during long-term use, the guide structures 44 at both ends can limit its deformation direction and prevent damage to the slider 421, thereby helping to improve the stability of the transmission component 4.

[0064] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 6The mating groove 432 has a first inner sidewall 4321 and a second inner sidewall 4322 that are disposed opposite to each other. The first inner sidewall 4321 is inclined. The second inner sidewall 4322 includes a first sidewall segment 43221 and a second sidewall segment 43222. The first sidewall segment 43221 is inclined so as to be parallel to the first inner sidewall 4321. The second sidewall segment 43222 extends back and forth so that the width of the mating groove 432 gradually increases in the direction away from the first sidewall segment 43221. When the drive unit 431 slides within the mating groove 432, the inclined structure of the first inner sidewall 4321 and the first sidewall segment 43221, which are parallel to each other, provides a stable sliding track for the drive unit 431, ensuring that the power transmitted by the drive unit 431 is in the accurate direction. This allows the drive unit 431 to drive the slider 421 to reciprocate in the left and right directions. The second sidewall segment 43222 extends forward and backward, and the width of the mating groove 432 gradually increases, to provide a certain buffer space when the drive unit 431 enters or exits the mating groove 432, avoiding interference between the transmission component 41 and the second sidewall segment 43222 of the mating groove 432. To avoid restricting the movement of the transmission component 41, the parallel arrangement of the first inner sidewall 4321 and the first sidewall segment 43221 ensures that the driving part 431 is subjected to uniform force when sliding in the mating groove 432, preventing jamming caused by unilateral compression and ensuring that power is smoothly transmitted to the slider 421, making the unlocking and locking actions of the locking pin 21 smoother. It also enables the driving part 431 to drive the slider 421 to reciprocate in the left and right directions. Furthermore, by providing the second sidewall segment 43222, the movement of the transmission component 41 is not restricted, allowing the transmission component 41 to drive multiple driving parts 431 to move synchronously.

[0065] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The locking pin 21 is detachably mounted on the slider 421. When the locking pin 21 becomes worn, deformed, or damaged due to long-term use, the user can directly remove the damaged locking pin 21 from the slider 421 and replace it with a new one, without having to replace the entire slider 421 or the transmission assembly 4. This detachable design makes the maintenance and replacement of the locking pin 21 more flexible, thereby helping to reduce the difficulty of later maintenance.

[0066] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The shelf body 1 has a mounting cavity 11 and a through hole 12. The transmission component 4 is disposed in the mounting cavity 11, and the through hole 12 communicates with the mounting cavity 11. The unlocking member 31 passes through the through hole 12 to connect with the transmission component 4. Thus, by providing the mounting cavity 11 to accommodate the transmission component 4, components such as the transmission component 41, slider 421, and guide structure 44 are hidden inside the shelf body 1, preventing these components from being directly exposed to the internal environment of the freezer 1000. This effectively isolates the transmission component 4 from dust, moisture, and contamination and collisions caused by stored items inside the freezer 1000, preventing dust from entering the transmission component and causing jamming, and preventing moisture corrosion from causing rust, thus extending the service life of the transmission component 4. Furthermore, it conceals the transmission component 4, resulting in a simpler and more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0067] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 5 The transmission component 41 includes a first transmission part 411 extending in the front-rear direction and a second transmission part 412 arranged at an angle. Multiple first transmission parts 411 are provided, and multiple second transmission parts 412 are located between adjacent first transmission parts 411 and corresponding to multiple sliders 421. The drive part 431 includes the second transmission part 412. Thus, the transmission part directly acts as the drive part 431, cooperating with the sliders 421 to integrate the driving function onto the transmission rod 41a body, forming an integrated transmission component 41. This not only reduces the number of parts and connection links but also allows the geometric changes of the transmission component 41 to drive multiple sliders 421, simplifying the force transmission path, making the structure more compact and rigid. It also allows the transmission component 41 to be made flatter and longer, facilitating its concealment within the thin-walled space of the shelf, thus enabling a lightweight shelf design and maximizing the effective storage space of the freezer 1000 while maintaining strength. Of course, in other embodiments, the drive part 431 and the transmission component 41 can also be separately formed; the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0068] In one embodiment of this application, see reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Multiple locking pins 21 form two locking pin groups, which are spaced apart on both sides of the shelf body 1 in the left-right direction. Each locking pin group includes multiple locking pins 21 spaced apart in the front-back direction. In this way, the locking pin groups on the left and right sides ensure that the shelf is subjected to balanced forces in the left-right direction, avoiding tilting or loosening of the shelf due to unilateral fixation. Furthermore, the multiple locking pins 21 spaced apart in the front-back direction within each locking pin group can both expand the locking range and prevent the shelf from sliding due to front-back forces during use, and also distribute the pressure from the weight of the items, reducing the stress on the locking pins 21, thereby helping to extend the service life of the locking pins 21.

[0069] In one embodiment of this application, the freezer shelf structure 100 further includes a transmission member 41, which includes two transmission rods 41a respectively corresponding to two locking pin groups. Both transmission rods 41a extend in the front-back direction to connect with multiple locking pins 21 of the locking pin groups. The two ends of the unlocking member 31 are respectively connected to the two transmission rods 41a. When the user operates the unlocking component 31, the unlocking component 31 simultaneously drives the two transmission rods 41a at both ends to move synchronously in the front-back direction. The two transmission rods 41a then drive the multiple locking pins 21 of the corresponding locking pin groups to move synchronously left and right, realizing the synchronous unlocking or locking of the locking pin groups on both sides. In this way, the transmission rods 41a connected to both ends of the unlocking component 31 can move completely synchronously on both sides, ensuring that the locking pins 21 of the locking pin groups on both sides start to move at the same time. There will be no situation where one side's locking pin 21 is unlocked while the other side is still locked, avoiding the shelf from tilting or jamming due to unilateral force, ensuring a smooth disassembly and assembly process. At the same time, the user only needs to apply one force to the unlocking component 31 to drive the two transmission rods 41a to move, without having to operate the locking pin groups on both sides separately, which can greatly reduce the operation frequency and thus help improve the user experience.

[0070] It should be noted that the arrangement of the transmission component 41 is related to the arrangement of the locking pin group. In one embodiment, multiple locking pins 21 form multiple locking pin groups, which are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. Each locking pin group includes two locking pins 21 respectively arranged on both sides of the shelf body 1 in the left-to-right direction. The transmission component 41 includes multiple transmission rods 41a respectively arranged for the multiple locking pin groups. The multiple transmission rods 41a are all connected to the unlocking component 31. In this way, the unlocking component 31 will drive all transmission rods 41a to move back and forth synchronously. Each transmission rod 41a will then drive the two locking pins 21 of the corresponding locking pin group to move left and right synchronously, so as to realize the synchronous unlocking or locking of multiple locking pin groups in the front and back.

[0071] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 5The freezer shelf structure 100 also includes a reset member 5 disposed between the transmission member 41 and the shelf body 1, used to drive the locking pin 21 to reset from the unlocked position to the locked position. Thus, after adjusting the shelf height, the user only needs to release their hand, and the locking pin 21 will automatically pop out and engage with the corresponding lock hole 210, eliminating the need for cumbersome manual locking. This greatly improves operational convenience and ensures the shelf remains reliably locked during use, preventing shelf slippage or goods tipping due to human negligence. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the reset member 5 includes an elastic element. The elastic element stores energy when the transmission member 41 moves. When the user releases the unlocking member 31, the elastic element releases energy to drive the transmission member 41 to reset, thereby returning the locking pin 21 to the locked position. Thus, by providing an elastic element, a reliable and smooth reset force is provided to the locking pin 21, ensuring timely and accurate locking. Of course, in other embodiments, the reset member 5 can also be a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder, etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0072] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, please refer to the following: Figure 7 and Figure 10 This application also provides a freezer 1000, which includes a shell 200 and a freezer shelf structure 100. The shell 200 has multiple locking holes 210, and the freezer shelf structure 100 includes multiple locking pins 21 that move in the left-right direction. The locking pins 21 cooperate with the locking holes 210 to lock. When the shelf structure is installed in the freezer 1000, the locking pins 21 enter the locking holes 210 under the action of the reset member 5, thus fixing the shelf. When it is necessary to adjust the shelf, the unlocking member 31 is operated to make the locking pins 21 exit the locking holes 210, so that the shelf can be moved to the target position. After releasing the unlocking member 31, the locking pins 21 re-enter the corresponding locking holes 210 to complete the fixing. In this way, by setting the shelf structure and the freezer 1000 shell 200 to be organically combined, convenient adjustment of the shelf is realized. The technical effect of this embodiment is reflected in the improvement of the overall user experience of the freezer 1000. By setting multiple lock holes 210 on the housing 200, multiple height adjustment positions are provided for the shelf structure. Users can freely choose the appropriate position according to the height of the stored items, which greatly improves the storage flexibility of the freezer 1000. Furthermore, the synchronous unlocking and automatic reset function of the shelf structure, in conjunction with the lock holes 210 on the housing 200, allows users to complete shelf adjustment without complicated operations.

[0073] It is understood that the specific structure of the freezer shelf structure 100 refers to the above embodiments. Since the freezer 1000 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0074] Furthermore, in one embodiment, please continue to refer to... Figure 7 and Figure 8 Multiple locking holes 210 form a group of locking holes 210, with multiple groups of locking holes 210 spaced apart vertically. Each group of locking holes 210 includes multiple locking holes 210 spaced apart circumferentially along the housing 200. Thus, the vertically spaced groups of locking holes 210 correspond to different height settings of the shelf, allowing users to adjust the shelf height in steps by engaging the shelf locking pins 21 with the groups of locking holes 210 at different heights. Simultaneously, the circumferentially spaced locking holes 210 within each group of locking holes 210 correspond to multiple locking pins 21 of the shelf, ensuring that the shelf can be stably locked at each height setting through multi-position locking.

Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
