Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerator accessories, in particular to a refrigerator shelf fixing component. Background Art

[0002] The refrigerator shelf is arranged in the refrigerator inner tank for storing items to expand the capacity of the refrigerator. At present, the fixing structure of most refrigerator shelves is that the decorative strip at the rear end of the shelf is provided with a protrusion which cooperates with the reinforcement rib of the inner tank to prevent the shelf assembly from shaking. However, the method can only fix the shelf in the up and down directions, and cannot prevent it from moving forward and backward along the refrigerator inner tank. The shelf assembly is prone to move forward and backward due to bumps during transportation, so that the shelf falls off or hits the inner tank and is damaged. The commonly used method is to use tape to fix the shelf during transportation to prevent it from shaking due to bumps during transportation. However, sticking tape increases the labor cost and production time of the factory, and after the refrigerator reaches the user, the user needs to remove the tape again before the refrigerator can be used normally, which is more troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0025] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The orientations mentioned in this specification are based on the orientations of the refrigerator shelf fixing assembly of the utility model when it is working normally, and do not limit the orientations during storage and transportation. They only represent relative positional relationships, not absolute positional relationships.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown together, a refrigerator shelf fixing assembly comprises a refrigerator liner 1 and a fixing assembly 2 fixed on the inner wall of the refrigerator liner 1, wherein the fixing assembly 2 is provided with a mounting slide groove 3 extending along the front-to-back direction of the refrigerator liner 1, and a shelf 4 is clamped in the mounting slide groove 3, the upper surface of the shelf 4 is fitted with the lower surface of the mounting slide groove 3, and the lower surface of the shelf 4 is fitted with the upper surface of the mounting slide groove 3, thereby limiting the movement of the shelf 4 in the up and down directions; the shelf 4 is rectangular, and the size of the shelf 4 in the length direction is the same as the distance between the mounting slide grooves 3 located on the left and right inner walls of the refrigerator liner 1, thereby preventing the shelf 4 from moving left and right; the width of the shelf 4 is adapted to the thickness of the refrigerator liner 1, and the rear side of the shelf 4 is abutted against the rear side wall of the refrigerator liner 1; the shelf 4 is provided with a limiting groove 403, and the limiting groove 403 is arranged on the left and right sides of the shelf 4.

[0028] A limiting mechanism 6 is also fixedly provided on the side wall of the refrigerator inner tank 1 at the limiting groove 403, and the limiting mechanism 6 includes an outer shell 604, on which a rotating shaft 601 is fixedly provided, and a limiting plate 602 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 601, the outer side of the limiting plate 602 is clamped in the limiting groove 403, and the inner side of the limiting plate 602 is connected to the limiting mechanism 6 through an elastomer, thereby limiting the forward and backward movement of the shelf 4 along the refrigerator inner tank 1; the outer shell 604, the rotating shaft 601, the limiting plate 602 and the elastomer are an independent whole, and can be installed and removed from the refrigerator inner tank 1 as a whole.

[0029] Furthermore, the elastic body is a spring 603, one end of the spring 603 is connected to the outer shell 604 of the limiting mechanism 6, and the other end of the spring 603 is connected to the inner side of the limiting plate 602, so that the limiting plate 602 shrinks into the outer shell 604 when subjected to external force, and extends out of the outer shell 604 after the external force is removed, thereby facilitating the installation and disassembly of the shelf 4.

[0030] Furthermore, the limiting plate 602 is in the shape of a long strip with one end being narrow and the other end being wide. The narrow end of the limiting plate 602 is provided with a through hole, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 601, so that the limiting plate 602 rotates around the rotating shaft 601; the inner side edge of the wide end of the limiting plate 602 is connected to the end of the spring 603, and the outer side edge of the wide end of the limiting plate 602 extends out of the outer shell 604 and is clamped in the limiting groove 403 of the shelf 4, thereby limiting the shelf 4 in the front and rear directions.

[0031] Furthermore, the fixing component 2 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right inner walls of the refrigerator inner tank 1, and the fixing component 2 includes a front fixing component 201 and a rear fixing component 202. The front fixing component 201 and the rear fixing component 202 are two flat plates arranged in parallel on the inner wall of the refrigerator inner tank 1, and an installation slide groove 3 for the shelf 4 to pass through is provided between the two flat plates; the center lines of the installation slide grooves 3 on the front fixing component 201 and the rear fixing component 202 are at the same height, so that the shelf 4 remains in a horizontal state after installation; a gap is left between the front fixing component 201 and the rear fixing component 202, and the limiting mechanism 6 is installed in the gap; the fixing component 2 is provided with a plurality of groups, and the plurality of groups of fixing components 2 are arranged in parallel on the inner wall of the refrigerator inner tank 1 at intervals in the vertical direction, and multiple groups of shelves 4 can be installed at the same time to increase the storage space of the refrigerator.

[0032] Furthermore, the shelf 4 includes a shelf 401 and a decorative strip 402 wrapped around the shelf 401. The shelf 401 is made of glass material, and the decorative strip 402 is made of rubber material. The decorative strip 402 wrapped around the shelf 401 protects the shelf 401 and makes it less likely to be damaged.

[0033] When installing the shelf 4, the shelf 4 is pushed inward in the horizontal direction along the installation slide groove 3 on the refrigerator inner tank 1. When the rear end of the shelf 4 contacts the limiting mechanism 6, the spring 603 in the limiting mechanism 6 is deformed under the action of pressure, so that the limiting plate 602 of the limiting mechanism 6 rotates around the rotating shaft 601, thereby shrinking the width to the shell 604 of the limiting mechanism 6. In this process, because the limiting plate 602 is always pressed by the side of the shelf 4, the limiting mechanism 6 does not affect the horizontal movement of the shelf 4, and the shelf 4 continues to be pushed inward. The limit plate 602 is inserted into the limit groove 403, and the side of the shelf 401 no longer presses the limit plate 602. At this time, the pressure of the spring 603 disappears. After the limit plate 602 returns to the initial position, it cooperates with the shelf 4 to prevent the shelf 4 from moving forward and backward along the refrigerator inner tank 1, thereby achieving the positioning effect.

[0034] When the shelf 4 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the limiting plates 602 of the limiting mechanisms 6 at the left and right ends of the refrigerator inner container 1 are pressed simultaneously to cancel the limiting function and take out the shelf 4, which is simple and convenient.

[0035] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention should also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
