DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0030] The refrigerator body is provided with an inner liner, and a storage space is formed inside the inner liner. In order to facilitate the storage of items, a plurality of detachable shelves are often provided inside the inner liner to divide the storage space in the refrigerator. In most current refrigerators, the shelves are slidably connected to the side wall of the inner liner through a slide. When using the refrigerator, it is sometimes necessary to remove the shelves to store larger items or adjust the position of the shelves. However, the door opening angle of some built-in refrigerators is limited by the placement of the refrigerator, and the door opening angle is small, so it is difficult to directly pull the shelves out of the inner liner. Moreover, the slide on the inner liner is prone to residual dirt and easy to breed bacteria.
[0031] In view of this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a support assembly. Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a support assembly provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the support assembly includes an inner container 1, a support member 2 and a shelf 3. The inner container 1 has an opening 10 and an inner side wall 101 adjacent to the opening 10, and the support member 2 is connected to the inner side wall 101 of the inner container 1. Figure 2Schematic diagram of the support assembly in the retracted state provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the support member 2 includes a shell 21 and a telescopic mechanism 22 , one end of the telescopic mechanism 22 is connected to the inner container 1 , and the other end of the telescopic mechanism 22 is connected to the shell 21 , and at least one edge of the shelf 3 is mounted on the shell 21 .
[0032] In the support assembly provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, a retractable support member 2 is provided on the inner side wall 101 of the inner tank 1, and when the support member 2 is in an extended state, the support member 2 can support the shelf 3. When the shelf 3 needs to be removed, the support member 2 can be driven to shrink the shell of the support member 2, so that at least one side of the shelf 3 loses support, so that the shelf 3 can be rotated to facilitate taking out the shelf 3 or adjusting the position of the shelf 3.
[0033] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the support assembly provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes an inner liner 1, a support member 2 and a shelf 3. The inner liner 1 is the inner liner of the refrigerator, the support member 2 is connected to the inner side wall 101 of the inner liner 1, and the shelf 3 is overlapped on the support member 2. The support member 2 can be telescopically moved, so that the support for the shelf 3 can be cancelled, so that the shelf 3 can be rotated or moved inside the inner liner 1, so as to adjust the position of the shelf 3 or take the shelf 3 out of the inner liner 1.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the support member 2 includes a shell 21 and a telescopic mechanism 22, one end of the telescopic mechanism 22 is connected to the inner container 1, and the other end of the telescopic mechanism 22 is connected to the shell 21, and at least one edge of the shelf 3 is mounted on the shell 21. The telescopic mechanism 22 can drive the shell 21 to telescope and move, thereby supporting the shelf 3 or moving the interlayer 3.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the inner side wall 101 of the inner container 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11, and the other end of the telescopic mechanism 22 is connected to the groove bottom of the receiving groove 11. When the telescopic mechanism 22 is in a retracted state, the shell 21 is located in the receiving groove 11. When the telescopic mechanism 22 is in an extended state, the shell 21 can be partially extended out of the receiving groove 11, thereby providing support for the interlayer 3. The receiving groove 11 can accommodate part of the support member 2, thereby reducing the space inside the inner container 1 occupied by the support member 2, which is conducive to increasing the storage space of the refrigerator.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2As shown, the support assembly further includes a sealing gasket 4, which is bonded to the inner side wall 101 of the liner 1. When the shell 21 at least partially extends out of the receiving groove 11, the sealing gasket 4 abuts against the side of the shell 21 close to the shelf 3. The sealing gasket 4 can seal the gap between the shell 21 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 11 to prevent fine dirt stored in the liner 1 from entering the receiving groove 11 and causing bacteria to grow.
[0038] Optionally, the sealing gasket 4 is annular and surrounds the outside of the receiving groove 11. When the housing 21 at least partially extends out of the receiving groove 11, the inner edge of the sealing gasket 4 abuts against the housing 21. The annular sealing gasket 4 can better seal the gap between the housing 21 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 11 to prevent dirt from accumulating in the receiving groove 11.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 1 As shown, the support member 2 further includes a button 23, which is connected to the housing 21. Since the support member 2 is in an elongated shape and has a large volume, the position of the support member 2 can be controlled by pressing the button 23, making the operation of controlling the extension and retraction of the support member 2 easier.
[0040] Specifically, one end of the button 23 close to the inner liner 1 is connected to one end of the housing 21 close to the bottom of the receiving groove 11, and the shelf 3 is located between the button 23 and the housing 21. An elastic fixing member may be provided between the button 23 and the bottom of the receiving groove 11, so as to support the button 23 and prevent the button 23 from being pressed to cause the housing 21 to be skewed in the receiving groove 11.
[0041] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a support assembly in an extended state provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, such as Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic mechanism 22 includes an elastic member 222 and a connecting member 221, the connecting member 221 is connected to the bottom of the receiving groove 11, and the opposite ends of the elastic member 222 are respectively fixedly connected to the housing 21 and the connecting member 221. The elastic member 222 is used to support the housing 21, and the elastic member 222 can apply a thrust to the housing 21, so that the housing 21 receives a force in a direction away from the receiving groove 11, so that the housing 21 can be kept outside the receiving groove 11 when the button 23 or the housing 21 is not pressed, thereby providing stable support for the shelf 3.
[0042] Alternatively, see Figure 3 The elastic member 222 is a spring, the connecting member 221 is cylindrical, and one end of the spring is sleeved outside the connecting member 221. The spring is in a compressed state, and the two ends of the spring are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the housing 21 close to the bottom of the receiving groove 11 and the connecting member 221. When the button 23 or the housing 21 is pressed, the spring is compressed; when the button 23 or the housing 21 is not pressed, the spring pushes the housing 21 to move away from the receiving groove 11.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 3 As shown, the support assembly also includes a limiter 5, which is connected to the inner side wall 101 of the liner 1. When the shell 21 extends out of the receiving groove 11, the limiter 5 abuts against the end of the shell 21 away from the liner 1. Exemplarily, the limiter 5 is located at the inner wall of the liner 1 opposite to the opening 10. Or the limiter 5 is located on the side away from the interlayer 3 outside the receiving groove 11, and the side of the shell 21 away from the shelf 3 has an inclined structure, and the limiter 5 abuts against the inclined structure of the shell 21. The limiter 5 is used to limit the position of the shell 21 to prevent the shell 21 from being completely separated from the receiving groove 11 due to the thrust of the elastic member 222.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, there are multiple support members 2 and multiple shelves 3, two support members 2 are respectively connected to the inner side walls 101 on opposite sides of the liner 1, and the opposite side edges of each shelf 3 are respectively overlapped on the two support members 2.
[0045] In addition, an embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a refrigerator, which includes the above-mentioned supporting assembly.
[0046] In the refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, a retractable support member 2 is provided on the inner container 1 of the refrigerator, and when the support member 2 is in an extended state, the support member 2 can support the shelf 3. When the shelf 3 needs to be removed, the support member 2 can be driven to shrink the shell of the support member 2, so that at least one side of the shelf 3 loses support, so that the shelf 3 can be rotated to facilitate taking out the shelf 3 or adjusting the position of the shelf 3.
