[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0041] See also Fig.11 As shown, existing glass shelves for refrigerators all adopt an integral design, and can only be adjusted up and down in the refrigerator, but cannot be adjusted in the front and back storage spaces; and can only be used independently, and cannot be used in combination.

[0042] See also Figure 1-10 As shown, the first embodiment of the utility model provides a split glass shelf, which is designed to be split from the original integral glass shelf so that the split glass shelf can be used independently or in combination of two or more pieces, thereby effectively realizing the reasonable adjustment of the storage space in the refrigerator.

[0043] Specifically, the glass shelf includes: mounting supports 4, which are fixedly arranged on both sides of the interior of the box body 3 and are distributed in multiple groups in a vertical direction, and the mounting supports 4 are used to install the shelf trim 2 and the glass shelf 1 for storing items inside the refrigerator;

[0044] The shelf trim 2 is detachably mounted on the mounting support 4, and the length of the mounting support 4 is an integral multiple of the width of the shelf trim 2, so that multiple shelf trims 2 and glass racks 1 can be installed on one mounting support 4, so that the number of glass racks 1 to be installed can be selected according to actual needs, and the internal storage space of the refrigerator can be flexibly adjusted;

[0045] The shelf trim 2 is provided with a glass shelf 1 for storing items inside the refrigerator. By installing the glass shelf 1 through the shelf trim 2, the glass shelf 1 can be protected, and the shelf trim 2 can improve the overall aesthetics.

[0046] The shelf trim 2 includes a trim bottom plate 21, and a circle of trim panels 22 are arranged along the edge of the upper end of the trim bottom plate 21. The height of the trim panels 22 is equal to the thickness of the glass rack 1. The trim panels 22 arranged around the periphery protect the surrounding areas of the glass rack 1 to ensure the stability of the glass rack 1 installed on the shelf trim 2. In addition, the height of the trim panels 22 is equal to the thickness of the glass rack 1, ensuring that the upper end of the entire glass shelf remains flush, which is convenient for storing objects.

[0047] A bottom plate through groove 23 is provided at the center of the decorative strip bottom plate 21, and the length and width of the bottom plate through groove 23 are smaller than the length and width of the glass rack 1. By providing the bottom plate through groove 23 on the shelf decorative strip 2, it is convenient to separate the glass rack 1 from the shelf decorative strip 2 through the bottom plate through groove 23, thereby facilitating the disassembly and cleaning of the glass rack 1 and the shelf decorative strip 2, effectively ensuring the cleanliness of the storage inside the refrigerator.

[0048] The installation support 4 includes a lower support seat 41 and an upper baffle plate 42. The distance between the lower support seat 41 and the upper baffle plate 42 is a clearance match with the shelf trim 2. The lower support seat 41 and the upper baffle plate 42 are used to limit the shelf trim 2 in the upper and lower directions, ensuring that the shelf trim 2 is stably installed inside the refrigerator. During installation and disassembly, it only needs to be pushed forward and backward, and the installation is convenient and quick.

[0049] The width of the upper baffle 42 is greater than the thickness of the decorative strip enclosure 22, so that when the glass shelf is installed, the upper baffle 42 can cover the connection between the decorative strip enclosure 22 and the glass shelf 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the glass shelf 1 installed in the refrigerator and improving the installation stability of the entire glass shelf.

[0050] In the above scheme, although the positioning and installation of the glass shelf are achieved by adopting the method of the lower support seat 41 and the upper baffle plate 42, this installation method requires sufficient space during the disassembly and assembly process, and is less convenient in actual use. In order to solve this problem, the installation support 4 is optimized to a structure of a single limiting support seat 43, and an installation groove 44 for installing the isolation shelf is provided on the limiting support seat 43 to achieve fixed installation. Under this structure, the installation of the glass shelf can be achieved by inserting it into the refrigerator at an angle to avoid space limitation during horizontal insertion and extraction.

[0051] The mounting support 4 is a limiting support seat 43 , and a plurality of mounting grooves 44 are disposed on the upper end of the limiting support seat 43 . The number of the mounting grooves 44 is equal to the number of the shelf trim strips 2 .

[0052] A limiting member 5 matching the mounting groove 44 is provided at the lower end of the shelf trim strip 2. The limiting member 5 is inserted into the mounting groove 44 to limit the installation of the glass shelf.

[0053] Specifically, the limiting member 5 includes: a limiting connecting plate 51 , which is fixedly connected to the lower end of the shelf trim 2 ; and a guide column 52 , which is fixedly connected to the lower end of the limiting connecting plate 51 and matches with the mounting groove 44 .

[0054] Furthermore, the installation groove 44 and the limit member 5 can only ensure the convenience of installation of the glass shelf, but cannot ensure that the glass shelf maintains good stability after installation. In order to ensure good stability of the glass shelf after installation, the limit hole 45 and the limit assembly are provided to achieve locking and fixation of the glass shelf after installation.

[0055] Limiting holes 45 are disposed on both side walls of the installation slot 44 . The axial direction of the limiting holes 45 is consistent with the length direction of the installation slot 44 . The limiting member 5 is provided with a limiting component matched with the limiting holes 45 .

[0056] The limiting assembly includes two sets of limiting sleeves 54 symmetrically and slidably connected to the outer periphery of the guide column 52, and the limiting sleeves 54 are provided with connecting plate grooves 55 for avoiding the limiting connecting plate 51. The limiting sleeves 54 are provided with a spring baffle 56 on the side away from the guide column 52, and a return spring 57 is fixedly connected to the spring baffle 56, and the return spring 57 is fixedly connected to the guide column 52.

[0057] Furthermore, spring grooves 53 are provided at both ends of the guide column 52, and the return spring 57 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring groove 53, thereby increasing the length of the return spring 57 and allowing the return spring 57 to be completely retracted into the spring groove 53 when contracted, thereby ensuring the contraction length of the limit sleeve 54.

[0058] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the installation of the glass shelf on the limit support seat 43, a vertical support plate 58 is fixedly provided on the limit sleeve 54, and the upper end of the vertical support plate 58 is fixedly connected to a horizontally distributed adjustment support plate 59. When the glass shelf needs to be installed or removed, first press the two groups of adjustment support plates 59 inward to drive the limit sleeves 54 on both sides to slide inward, ensure that the limit sleeves 54 can slide up and down in the installation groove 44, and then place the glass shelf on the limit support seat 43 or remove it from the limit support seat 43, and finally release the adjustment support plate 59, and drive the two groups of limit sleeves 54 to slide outward and reset under the action of the reset spring 57, so that the limit sleeve 54 is inserted into the limit hole 45 to realize the installation of the glass shelf, or take out the limit shelf from the refrigerator.

[0059] See also Figure 1 As shown, another embodiment of the utility model further provides a refrigerator, which includes the above-mentioned split glass shelf.

[0060] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the utility model, but the content is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of application of the utility model should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the utility model.
