[0007] Furthermore, an arc-shaped slide groove is provided on the side frame, and an arc-shaped baffle is slidably installed in the arc-shaped slide groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the arc-shaped baffle is made of transparent material.
[0009] Furthermore, the maximum depth of the mounting groove is greater than the radius of the rolling ball and less than the diameter of the rolling ball.
[0010] Furthermore, the tray is made of stainless steel.
[0011] Furthermore, the top surface of the tray is processed with anti-slip patterns.
[0012] Furthermore, the diameter of the limiting block is equal to the diameter of the limiting groove.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0014] 1. The rotating refrigerator shelf uses the design of rolling balls between the limit blocks and the tray to convert the original sliding friction into rolling friction, which greatly reduces the loss of the tray, thereby significantly extending the service life of the tray and even the entire shelf;
[0015] 2. The rotating refrigerator shelf is designed with a rotating connection between the tray and the vertical rod. Users can easily rotate the tray to any position without moving the entire shelf, making it easy to store or take out items at various positions on the tray, greatly improving the convenience of use;
[0016] 3. In the rotary refrigerator shelf, the arc-shaped slide groove on the side frame and the slidably mounted arc-shaped baffle allow the user to adjust the opening size of the shelf as needed to meet the storage needs of items of different sizes, thereby increasing the flexibility of use.

[0026] The following is a specific embodiment of the present invention. People familiar with the technology can easily understand the other advantages and functions of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0028] See attached Figure 1 and Figure 2 A rotating refrigerator shelf of this embodiment includes an external frame 1, which is composed of a base 101, a side frame 102 and a top plate 103. A plurality of rubber feet 8 are evenly fixedly installed at the bottom of the base 101. The rubber feet 8 can reduce sliding, increase the stability of the shelf, and make it more firmly placed in the refrigerator.
[0029] See attached Figure 1-Figure 4 and Figure 6 A vertical pole 2 is fixedly installed in the middle position of the external frame 1, and a plurality of limit blocks 3 are fixedly installed on the vertical pole 2 at equal intervals. The limit block 3 is a cylindrical structure, and a plurality of mounting grooves 4 are provided at the top and bottom of the limit block 3. A rolling ball 5 is rollingly installed in the mounting groove 4, and the maximum depth of the mounting groove 4 is greater than the radius of the rolling ball 5 and less than the diameter of the rolling ball 5. This design allows the rolling ball 5 to roll in the mounting groove 4 without falling from the mounting groove 4. A tray 6 equal in number to the limit block 3 is provided on the vertical pole 2, and a limit groove 7 is provided on the tray 6, wherein the diameter of the limit block 3 is equal to the diameter of the limit groove 7. The rolling ball 5 located on the upper side contacts the top of the limit groove 7, and the rolling ball 5 located on the lower side contacts the bottom of the limit groove 7. By providing the rolling ball 5, the sliding friction between the limit block 3 and the tray 6 is converted into the rolling friction between the rolling ball 5 and the tray 6, thereby reducing the loss of the tray 6 and extending the service life of the tray 6, that is, extending the service life of the shelf. The tray 6 is rotatably connected through the limit block 3, the rolling ball 5 and the vertical rod 2. The user can easily rotate the tray 6 to any position without moving the entire shelf, which is convenient for storing or taking out items at various positions of the tray 6, greatly improving the convenience of use.
[0030] See attached Figure 1 and Figure 5An arc-shaped slide groove 9 is provided on the side frame 102, and an arc-shaped baffle 10 is slidably installed in the arc-shaped slide groove 9. The opening size of the shelf is adjusted by moving the arc-shaped baffle 10, and the arc-shaped baffle 10 is made of transparent material. The baffle made of transparent material makes observation more convenient and maintains visibility of internal items.
[0031] Refer to the attached Figure 6 The top surface of the tray 6 is processed with anti-skid patterns, which increase the friction of the top surface of the tray 6 to prevent items from sliding on the tray 6. The tray 6 is made of stainless steel, which ensures that the tray 6 is sturdy, durable and easy to clean.
[0032] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
