[0074] The refrigerator provided in the embodiments of the present application may have various implementation forms. Figure 1-Figure 21 This is a specific implementation of the refrigerator of the present application.

[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator provided in the present application includes at least a body 100 , a door and a shelf 200 .

[0076] The box body 100 has a top and a bottom. The top of the box body 100 and the bottom of the box body 100 are two opposite ends. The direction from the top of the box body 100 to the bottom of the box body 100 is the height direction of the box body 100.

[0077] The left side of the box body 100 and the right side of the box body 100 are opposite sides, and the direction from the left side of the box body 100 to the right side of the box body 100 is the length direction of the box body 100.

[0078] The front side of the box body 100 and the rear side of the box body 100 are two opposite sides, and the direction from the front side of the box body 100 to the rear side of the box body 100 is the thickness direction of the box body 100 .

[0079] In actual applications, the front side of the box 100 is usually arranged toward the user, and the rear side of the box 100 is usually arranged toward the wall.

[0080] The box body 100 defines a receiving cavity inside, and the receiving cavity is used to place items. The receiving cavity includes a receiving cavity opening, so that the items can be placed in the receiving cavity through the receiving cavity opening.

[0081] The opening of the accommodating cavity is usually arranged toward the front side of the box body 100 to facilitate users to place items.

[0082] The box body 100 is usually also equipped with a refrigeration system to cool the environment in the accommodating cavity, which belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0083] The box door is connected to the box body 100 and is disposed at the opening of the accommodating chamber in an openable and closable manner to open or close the accommodating chamber.

[0084] In some embodiments, the door is rotatably connected to the box body 100 so that the door can open or close the accommodating chamber in a rotating manner.

[0085] The shelf 200 is arranged in the storage cavity. In addition to being used to place items, the shelf 200 can also divide the storage cavity into multiple storage areas, so that different categories of items can be placed in different storage areas. This not only makes it convenient for users to take and put items, but also avoids mutual interference between different items.

[0086] In some embodiments, a plurality of shelves 200 are provided, and the plurality of shelves 200 are arranged along the height direction of the refrigerator, and there are intervals between adjacent shelves 200 so that items can be placed on the shelves 200 .

[0087] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Fig.13 and Fig.15 As shown, the shelf 200 includes a support member 210 , which defines a support surface for placing items, and the support surface extends from the rear side of the box body 100 to the front side of the box body 100 .

[0088] In some embodiments, the support surface is generally arranged along a horizontal plane to prevent objects placed on the support surface from tilting, thereby ensuring the stability of the objects when placed.

[0089] The shelf 200 includes a bracket 220 , which is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity. The support member 210 and the bracket 220 are connected to each other so that the support member 210 is disposed in the accommodating cavity through the bracket 220 .

[0090] In some embodiments, two brackets 220 are designed, and the two brackets 220 are detachably connected to the support member 210 to increase the reliability of the support member 210 being arranged in the accommodating cavity.

[0091] The two brackets 220 are correspondingly arranged along the length direction of the box body 100 , and the two brackets 220 are correspondingly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the accommodating cavity arranged along the length direction of the box body 100 .

[0092] At present, the size of the support surface along the thickness direction of the box body 100 cannot be adjusted, resulting in that the shelf 200 cannot well meet the needs of users.

[0093] In view of this, in the present embodiment, the support member 210 is designed to be a retractable structure, which not only facilitates the adjustment of the size of the support surface, but also facilitates the retracting of the support member 210 .

[0094] Specifically, Fig.18 As shown, the support member 210 includes a first portion 211 , and the first portion 211 is used to define a support surface.

[0095] The support member 210 includes a second portion 212 , which is connected to the first portion 211 . The second portion 212 can be rolled up to reduce occupied space.

[0096] The first portion 211 can be rolled up into the second portion 212 , and the second portion 212 can be stretched into the first portion 211 .

[0097] The first portion 211 of the support member 210 is defined to form a support surface, and the size of the expanded portion of the support member 210 is adjusted to adjust the size of the support surface along the thickness direction of the box body 100 .

[0098] The unexpanded portion of the support member 210 is rolled up to facilitate placement of the support member 210 in the accommodating cavity.

[0099] like Fig. 9 , Figure 12-14 As shown, the shelf 200 includes a guide rail 250 extending from the rear side of the box 100 to the front side of the box 100; the support member 210 can slide along the guide rail 250 to adjust the size of the support surface from the rear side of the box 100 to the front side of the box 100.

[0100] By making the support member 210 slide along the guide rail 250 and using the guide rail 250 to guide the sliding of the support member 210, not only the reliability of the winding and stretching movement of the support member 210 can be increased, but also the firmness of the setting of the support member 210 can be increased.

[0101] The first portion 211 is disposed in the guide rail 250 , and the guide rail 250 can provide support for the first portion 211 to increase the strength of the support surface.

[0102] It should be noted that the first part 211 can slide along the guide rail 250 in a direction away from the opening of the accommodating cavity and be rolled into the second part 212; the second part 212 can slide along the guide rail 250 in a direction close to the opening of the accommodating cavity and be stretched into the first part 211.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig.12 As shown, the guide rail 250 is disposed on the bracket 220. Disposing the guide rail 250 on the bracket 220 can reduce the number of components of the shelf 200, improve production efficiency and facilitate assembly.

[0104] The bracket 220 includes a first support plate 224 . The first support plate 224 contacts the bottom of the support member 210 to support the support member 210 .

[0105] In some embodiments, the first support plate 224 is provided with a support portion 221 , and the support portion 221 is used to increase the contact area between the first support plate 224 and the support member 210 , thereby increasing the supporting effect of the first support plate 224 on the support member 210 .

[0106] The support portion 221 is disposed close to one end of the first support plate 224 toward the rear side of the box body 100 ; the support portion 221 is in contact with the bottom of the support member 210 .

[0108] The bracket 220 includes a third support plate 225 . The third support member 210 and the first support plate 224 are connected to each other and intersected with each other to increase the overall strength of the bracket 220 .

[0109] The third support plate 225 is disposed along the height direction of the box body 100 , and the third support plate 225 is disposed corresponding to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity along the length direction of the box body 100 .

[0110] The bracket 220 includes a second support plate 226 extending along the rear side of the box body 100 toward the front side of the box body 100 .

[0111] The second support plate 226 is located above the first support plate 224 , and there is a certain distance between the second support plate 226 and the first support plate 224 along the height direction of the box body 100 , so that the second support plate 226 and the first support plate 224 together define a guide rail 250 .

[0112] It should be noted that the second support plate 226 is connected to the upper end of the third support plate 225 .

[0113] The side of the second support plate 226 away from the third support plate 225 and the side of the first support plate 224 away from the third support plate 225 together define an opening, and the openings of the two brackets 220 are correspondingly arranged so that the two ends of the support member 210 along the length direction of the box body 100 are correspondingly arranged in the two guide rails 250, thereby increasing the reliability of the movement of the support member 210.

[0114] In other embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 and Fig.11 As shown, the shelf 200 includes a connecting member 230 , which is connected to the bracket 220 and is located above the bracket 220 . The connecting member 230 and the bracket 220 together define a guide rail 250 .

[0115] Specifically, the bracket 220 includes a first support plate 224 , and the first support plate 224 is in contact with the bottom of the support member 210 to support the support member 210 .

[0116] In some embodiments, the first support plate 224 is provided with a support portion 221 , and the support portion 221 is used to increase the contact area between the first support plate 224 and the support member 210 , thereby increasing the supporting effect of the first support plate 224 on the support member 210 .

[0117] The support portion 221 is disposed close to one end of the first support plate 224 toward the rear side of the box body 100 ; the support portion 221 is in contact with the bottom of the support member 210 .

[0118] In some embodiments, the first support plate 224 extends from the rear side of the box body 100 toward the front side of the box body 100 , and the support member 210 slides along the extension direction of the first support plate 224 .

[0119] The bracket 220 includes a third support plate 225 . The third support member 210 and the first support plate 224 are connected to each other and intersected with each other to increase the overall strength of the bracket 220 .

[0120] The third support plate 225 is disposed along the height direction of the box body 100 , and the third support plate 225 is disposed corresponding to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity along the length direction of the box body 100 .

[0121] like Fig.11 As shown, the connecting member 230 includes a first connecting plate 231, which extends along the rear side of the box body 100 toward the front side of the box body 100, and the first connecting plate 231 is arranged corresponding to the first support plate 224 and the first connecting plate 231 is located above the first support plate 224, and the first connecting plate 231 and the first support plate 224 together define a guide rail 250.

[0122] When the support member 210 slides along the guide rail 250 , the first connecting plate 231 is located above the support member 210 , and the first supporting plate 224 contacts the bottom of the support member 210 .

[0123] The connecting member 230 includes a second connecting plate 232 . The second connecting plate 232 and the first connecting plate 231 are connected to each other and intersected with each other to increase the overall strength of the connecting member 230 .

[0124] The second connecting plate 232 and the third supporting plate 225 are connected to each other, so that the connecting member 230 and the bracket 220 are connected to each other.

[0125] The second connecting plate 232 is disposed along the height direction of the box body 100 , so that the second connecting plate 232 and the third supporting plate 225 are disposed correspondingly, thereby facilitating the second connecting plate 232 and the third supporting plate 225 to be connected to each other.

[0126] It should be noted that the second connecting plate 232 is located on a side of the third supporting plate 225 away from the other bracket 220 .

[0127] In some embodiments, the second connecting plate 232 and the third supporting plate 225 can be riveted, welded, or connected to each other by fasteners such as bolts or screws to increase the reliability and firmness of the connection between the connecting member 230 and the bracket 220.

[0128] like Fig.10 As shown, the bracket 220 is provided with a limiting portion 223, which is located at the top of the bracket 220 and is arranged close to one end of the bracket 220 facing the rear side of the box body 100, and one end of the connecting member 230 facing the rear side of the box body 100 contacts the limiting portion 223 to locate the connection position of the connecting member 230 and the bracket 220.

[0129] When the connecting member 230 is connected to the bracket 220 , one end of the connecting member 230 facing the rear side of the box body 100 abuts against the limiting portion 223 to locate the connection position of the connecting member 230 and the bracket 220 .

[0130] In some embodiments, the limiting portion 223 is protruded from the first support plate 224 to form a step above the bracket 220 , so that the connecting member 230 abuts against the step to position the connecting member 230 .

[0137] It should be noted that the rotating shaft 260 and the supporting member 210 are in contact with each other, and the second portion 212 is a solid structure after being rolled up.

[0138] like Figure 6 and Fig.13 As shown, the rotating shaft 260 is connected to one end of the bracket 220 close to the rear side of the box body 100, so that the rotating shaft 260 is installed on the bracket 220, and the bracket 220 provides support for the rotation of the rotating shaft 260.

[0139] It should be noted that two ends of the rotating shaft 260 are correspondingly connected to two brackets 220 to increase the supporting effect of the brackets 220 on the rotating shaft 260 .

[0140] The uppermost end of the rolled-up second portion 212 is usually flush with the plane where the first portion 211 is located, so as to increase the reliability and stability of the support member 210 sliding along the guide rail 250 .

[0141] When the total length of the support member 210 along the thickness direction of the box body 100 is constant, different sizes of the support surface will lead to different sizes of the second portion 212. Correspondingly, the size of the second portion 212 along the height direction of the box body 100 after being rolled up is also different.

[0142] It can be seen that in order to ensure that the uppermost end of the second portion 212 after being rolled up is flush with the plane where the first portion 211 is located, the height of the rotating shaft 260 needs to be adaptively changed with the rolling and stretching movement of the support member 210 .

[0143] In view of this, if Fig. 9 and Fig.12 As shown, the bracket 220 is provided with a connecting portion 222 , and the connecting portion 222 extends from the top of the box body 100 to the bottom of the box body 100 .

[0144] An end of the rotating shaft 260 is disposed in the connecting portion 222 and can slide up and down along the connecting portion 222 .

[0145] When the support member 210 slides along the guide rail 250 , the rotating shaft 260 slides along the connecting portion 222 , so that the height of the rotating shaft 260 changes dynamically with the movement of the support member 210 .

[0146] When the support member 210 is rolled up, the size of the second part 212 increases, resulting in an increase in the size of the second part 212 along the height direction of the box body 100 after being rolled up. At this time, the rotating shaft 260 slides downward along the connecting portion 222 to increase the distance between the rotating shaft 260 and the first support plate 224.

[0147] When the support member 210 is extended, the size of the second part 212 is reduced, resulting in a smaller size of the second part 212 along the height direction of the box body 100 after being rolled up. At this time, the rotating shaft 260 slides upward along the connecting portion 222 to reduce the distance between the rotating shaft 260 and the first support plate 224.

[0148] In some embodiments, Fig.18 As shown, the support member 210 is a metal coil, which can be easily rolled up and has a certain strength when unfolded, so as to support the objects.

[0149] It should be noted that metal coils are common knowledge in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0150] In other embodiments, the support member 210 adopts a honeycomb flexible structure with zero Poisson's ratio, which can be stretched and retracted in the pulling direction without changing the width.

[0151] Considering that the hardness and bending strength of metal coils are relatively weak, when the weight of an item is large, the metal coil is easily bent when the item is placed on the metal coil. Therefore, in other embodiments, the support member 210 is designed as a coil chain structure to increase the hardness and strength of the support member 210 when it is unfolded.

[0152] Specifically, Figure 19-21 As shown, the support member 210 includes a plurality of chain plates 213, and the length direction of the chain plates 213 is arranged along the length direction of the box body 100; at least part of the chain plates 213 are arranged in the direction from the rear side of the box body 100 to the front side of the box body 100; two adjacent chain plates 213 are rotatably connected to each other; and the chain plates 213 can be slidably connected along the guide rail 250.

[0153] In some embodiments, the chain plate 213 may be a glass plate, a metal plate, etc., which not only allows the support member 210 to be rolled up, but also allows the support member 210 to have greater strength and hardness after being unfolded.

[0154] The chain plate 213 includes a first transition portion 2131 . The first transition portion 2131 is disposed at least at one end of the chain plate 213 in the length direction. The first transition portion 2131 is disposed at one side of the chain plate 213 along the thickness direction of the box body 100 .

[0155] The chain plate 213 includes a second transition portion 2132 , which is disposed at a middle portion of the chain plate 213 in a length direction, and the second transition portion 2132 is correspondingly disposed at the other side of the chain plate 213 along a thickness direction of the box body 100 .

[0156] The first transfer portion 2131 is rotatably connected to the second transfer portion 2132 of the adjacent chain plate 213 , and the second transfer portion 2132 is rotatably connected to the first transfer portion 2131 of the adjacent chain plate 213 , thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the chain plates 213 .

[0157] The first adapter portion 2131 is disposed protruding from the chain plate 213 along the thickness direction of the box body 100 , and the second adapter portion 2132 is disposed protruding from the chain plate 213 along the thickness direction of the box body 100 in a direction away from the first adapter portion 2131 .

[0158] The two ends of the chain plate 213 in the length direction are respectively provided with a first transfer portion 2131 . The two first transfer portions 2131 on the same chain plate 213 are connected to the two ends of the second transfer portions 2132 of the adjacent chain plates 213 to increase the reliability of the connection between the adjacent chain plates 213 .

[0159] The second transition portion 2132 of the chain plate 213 is connected to two first transition portions 2131 of adjacent chain plates 213 .

[0160] In some embodiments, the shelf 200 may include a storage box, which is disposed at one end of the bracket 220 close to the rear side of the box body 100, and the second portion 212 is disposed in the storage box after being rolled up.

[0161] In other embodiments, the surface of the support member 210 can be customized with different patterns and patterns, and different materials can be selected.

[0162] In the above-mentioned refrigerator, the working principle of the shelf 200 is: when it is necessary to increase the size of the support surface along the thickness direction of the box body 100, the support member 210 is pulled forward along the thickness direction of the box body 100, so that the support member 210 slides along the guide rail 250 toward the front side of the box body 100, and the size of the first part 211 of the support member 210 is increased, thereby increasing the size of the support surface defined by the first part 211 of the support member 210.

[0163] When it is necessary to reduce the size of the support surface box 100 in the thickness direction, roll up the support member 210 so that the support member 210 slides along the guide rail 250 toward the rear side of the box 100 to reduce the size of the first part 211 of the support member 210, thereby reducing the size of the support surface defined by the first part 211 of the support member 210.

[0164] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the shelf 200 includes an elastic structure, and when the support member 210 needs to be rolled up, the support member 210 is automatically rolled up under the action of the elastic structure.

[0165] The elastic structure automatic winding support 210 belongs to the conventional technical means in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0166] It should also be noted that, in some embodiments, the bracket 220 may be provided with a hook so that the bracket 220 can be hung on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity through the hook.

[0167] The above-mentioned refrigerator realizes adjustment of the size of the support surface along the thickness direction of the box body 100 by rolling up the support member 210, and can realize complete freedom of stacking of the shelves 200; metal coils or chain structures are used to replace the original shelf 200 glass, the overall structure of the shelf 200 is simple, and the structure of the shelf 200 is stable when placed; and the shelf 200 is easy to clean and convenient for later maintenance and replacement. When the support member 210 is damaged, only the support member 210 needs to be replaced.
