[0047] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a central component. When a component is referred to as being "disposed on" another component, it may be directly disposed on the other component or there may be a central component at the same time.

[0049] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 To Attachment Fig.12 As shown, the present application discloses an egg rack that can be used for serving, comprising:

[0051] The support frame 1 has a relative lateral direction (for example, Figure 1 The first direction 101), the longitudinal direction (e.g., the Figure 1 The second direction 102 in the vertical direction (e.g., the vertical direction 103 in the vertical direction 104) and the height direction (e.g., the vertical direction 105 in the vertical direction 106) Figure 1 A third direction 103) having opposite front and rear sides in the longitudinal direction;

[0052] The storage rack 2 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 1 around a first axis 211 parallel to the longitudinal direction, and the storage rack 2 has a relatively upright state (for example, attached Figure 2 ) in a flat position (e.g. attached Figure 1 As shown in the figure, in the flat state, a part of the storage rack 2 is the extension portion 22 and is located at the rear side of the first axis 211; in the upright state, the extension portion 22 is below the first axis 211 and the storage rack 2 as a whole is located at the rear side of the support frame 1.

[0053] In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, when the holding rack 2 in a horizontal state is used to hold spherical items such as eggs, the holding rack 2 in an upright state can save space. In the figure, the holding rack 2 is provided with multiple layers and stacked on each other. The holding rack 2 in the upper layer in the direction of gravity can avoid the holding rack 2 in the lower layer when it enters the upright state, so as to achieve orderly storage of items and facilitate access. Therefore, the holding rack 2 needs to be able to be maintained in a horizontal state and an upright state. The horizontal state of the holding rack 2 can be maintained by the weight of the holding rack 2 itself or the weight of the items being held, and the upright state of the holding rack 2 can be maintained by the weight of the holding rack 2 itself and / or the elastic member 3.

[0054] The technical solution disclosed in the present application provides a structural basis for maintaining the state of the container rack 2 independently of the elastic member 3 through structural optimization of the egg rack. The extension portion 22 can act as a counterweight in the upright state, thereby avoiding the reliance on the performance and stability of the elastic member 3 in the prior art. Even if the elastic member 3 is not provided or the elastic member 3 fails, the container can still be maintained in the upright state.

[0055] Reference Fig.11 To Attachment Fig.12 As shown in , the egg rack also includes an elastic member 3, which acts between the support frame 1 and the object rack 2, so that the object rack 2 tends to be in an upright state, and the object rack 2 tends to be in a horizontal state under the shape of the object, and the elastic member 3 deforms and stores energy. When the elastic member 3 works normally, the upright state of the object rack 2 can be maintained by the elastic member 3. In terms of assembly details of the egg rack, the object rack 2 is also provided with a mounting column 31 located at the rear side of the pivot 21, and the elastic member 3 is a coil spring sleeved on the mounting column 31, and the two ends of the coil spring are respectively against the bottom side of the object rack 2 and the rear wall 12. Compared with the mounting column 31 independently provided for the pivot 21, the mutual interference between the rotation of the pivot 21 and the setting of the elastic member 3 can be avoided, especially when the scheme of the pivot 21 moving in the guide groove 13 is implemented in coordination with the scheme of the elastic member 3, the mounting column 31 can provide an independent installation space for the elastic member 3. On this basis, the mounting column 31 disposed rearwardly relative to the pivot 21 can change the position of the elastic member 3, and generate a torque on the center of the pivot 21 (i.e., the first axis 211). Regarding the positioning of the elastic member 3, it can be referred to the figure, the end of the mounting column 31 is enlarged to limit the position of the elastic member 3, or it can be arranged that at least one of the bottom side of the shelf 2 and the rear wall 12 is provided with a limiting structure, and one end of the coil spring is accommodated in the limiting structure. In the figure, the mounting column 31 is indented relative to the side of the shelf 2, and the side of the shelf 2 at least forms a part of the limiting structure. Furthermore, the shelf 2 is provided with a positioning hole 23, and the side edge of the positioning hole 23 and the side of the shelf 2 are combined to form a limiting structure and limit the relative position of the coil spring. In other embodiments, the limiting structure can be a positioning groove or a positioning rib.

[0056] In the technical solution of the present application, when the performance of the elastic member decreases or even fails or no elastic member is provided, the upright state of the shelf 2 can be maintained by the self-gravity of the shelf 2. Fig. 9 To Attachment Fig.10 As shown in the figure, the two opposite sides of the shelf 2 are provided with pivots 21 in the longitudinal direction, and the pivots 21 are used to rotate with the corresponding side walls 11. The support frame 1 includes two side walls 11 arranged oppositely in the longitudinal direction, and a rear wall 12 connected between the two side walls 11 and located at the rear side. The two side walls 11 are provided with guide grooves 13 on the opposite sides, and the pivots 21 are placed in the corresponding guide grooves 13, and the guide grooves 13 have opposite front ends 131 and rear ends 132; in the upright state, the pivots 21 are located at the rear ends 132; in the horizontal state, the pivots 21 are located at the front ends 131. The movement of the first axis 211 can be realized by the movement of the pivot 21 relative to the guide grooves 13, thereby changing the matching relationship of the shelf 2, so that it is maintained in different states by its own gravity. It is not difficult to understand that the pivot 21 defines the first axis 211. In the process of the movement of the pivot 21, the position of the first axis 211 also changes accordingly, and the first axis 211 is parallel to the longitudinal direction mentioned above at each position.

[0057] It is not difficult to see from the above description that the two solutions of the pivot 21 and the elastic member 3 capable of moving in the longitudinal direction can be implemented independently or in coordination with each other. Figure 3 And attached Figure 4 As shown in the figure, only a pivot 21 capable of moving longitudinally is provided on one side of the storage rack 2, and a pivot 21 capable of moving longitudinally and an elastic member 3 are provided on the other side. In the figure, the end face of the mounting column 31 of the elastic member 3 is flush with the side face of the storage rack 2 or indented compared to the side face of the storage rack 2. Here, the side face of the storage rack 2 refers to the plane where the root of the pivot 21 is located.

[0058] In order to better achieve the state retention effect, referring to the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the rear end 132 of the guide groove 13 is adjacent to the rear wall 12. Further, at least a portion of the guide groove 13 is a raised area 133, and the raised area 133 is higher than the front end 131 and the rear end 132. The raised area 133 can provide a trigger threshold, thereby ensuring that the pivot 21 is in a corresponding position in the guide groove 13. Specifically, the guide groove 13 is an inverted V-shape as a whole, with the opening direction facing downward in the direction of gravity. When the pivot 21 moves between the front end 131 and the rear end 132, it needs to cross the V-shaped vertex located above in the direction of gravity, that is, the raised area 133 mentioned above.

[0059] In addition to the state-maintaining structure mentioned above, the egg rack can also be provided with a limiter. Referring to the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the egg rack includes a limiter provided on the support frame 1, and the container rack 2 is placed on the limiter in a flat state. The limiter can be provided in various forms, for example, the limiter includes a first step 141, and the front side of the container rack 2 is placed on the first step 141 in a flat state.

[0060] Independent of each other, the limiting member includes a second step 142, and in the horizontal state, the rear side of the shelf 2 rests on the second step 142. The first step 141 and / or the second step 142 can ensure the stability of the shelf 2 in the horizontal state. The first step 141 can be configured to directly cooperate with the side edge of the shelf 2, or a corresponding matching member 24 can be provided on the side edge of the shelf 2 to improve the matching effect. The second step 142 can avoid direct force on the pivot 21, and provide a basis for the movement of the pivot 21 in the guide groove 13 while optimizing the force structure. In detail, as shown in the reference drawings, in the horizontal state, the position of the second step 142 is close to the pivot 21. In the attached Figure 6 In the embodiment, the second step 142 is located at the upper edge of the support member 143 in the height direction. The support member 143 is arranged obliquely, and the mutual connection between the support member 143 and the guide groove 13 improves its mechanical properties. The other side surfaces of the support member 143 can also be arranged to provide a limiting effect. Fig.12In the embodiment, the front edge of the support member 143 in the longitudinal direction abuts against the upper surface of the shelf 2 in the upright state to limit its extreme position. The shelf 2 in this solution and the shelf 2 that cooperates with the second step 142 of the support member 143 can be different shelf 2. Similarly, the rear edge of the support member 143 in the longitudinal direction can be set to abut against the lower surface of the shelf 2 in the upright state to limit its extreme position. The shelf 2 in this solution and the shelf 2 that cooperates with the second step 142 of the support member 143 can be the same shelf 2.

[0061] In terms of the overall shape of the support frame 1, the two side walls 11 and the rear wall 12 form a semi-open structure. Figure 2 As shown, in the upright state, the shelf 2 is close to the adjacent rear wall 12. When there are multiple shelves 2, each shelf 2 is stacked to close to the adjacent rear wall 12. For example, in the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the shelf 2 is plate-shaped and has a positioning hole 23. The size of the positioning hole 23 matches the egg product. When the egg rack is used to store fresh and time-sensitive items, it can be referred to the attached drawings. Figure 1 , a storage mark 4 is set on the support frame 1 to mark the storage time. The storage mark 4 includes a slide with an indication and an indication slider that can slide in the slide. The indication slider can correspond to the indication on the slide to mark the storage time. For example, the indication on the slide is 1 to 12 corresponding to a month in a natural year or 1-31 corresponding to a day in a natural month or 1-24 corresponding to a moment in a natural day or 1-60 corresponding to a specific time in an hour. The indication slider has an arrow or a hollow mark corresponding to the storage date or time. Of course, the slide can also be provided with multiple slides to accommodate more storage time. In the figure, the storage rack 2 is provided with multiple layers arranged in an upper and lower interval, and the storage rack located at the bottom layer is connected to the support frame 1. The connection method can be integrated molding, clamping, welding, bonding, etc. At least one of the storage racks 2 located on the upper layer has the above-mentioned standing state and horizontal state. The storage rack 2 in the standing state avoids the storage rack 2 located on the lower layer in the height direction to facilitate the storage and retrieval of items.

Further, the present application also discloses a refrigerator, in which an egg rack according to the above technical solution is placed. The specific arrangement of the egg rack is as described above, and will not be repeated here.
