DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a refrigeration device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0030] The refrigeration device 100 provided in the present application includes a receiving chamber 20 and a shelf assembly 10, wherein the shelf assembly 10 is disposed in the receiving chamber 20 to divide the receiving chamber 20 into at least two storage spaces for storing more items. In some embodiments, the refrigeration device 100 may be a cabinet such as a refrigerator, a freezer, or a wine storage cabinet that can store different items.

[0031] It should be noted that the number of shelf assemblies 10 can be at least one. When the number of shelf assemblies 10 is one, the accommodating cavity 20 can be divided into two storage spaces; when the number of shelf assemblies 10 is two or more, the accommodating cavity 20 can be divided into three or more storage spaces. The specific number of shelf assemblies 10 can be adaptively selected according to the volume of the accommodating cavity 20, the size and number of the items to be stored.

[0032] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a shelf assembly 10 in a second shelf state according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0033] The shelf assembly 10 includes a support 11 and a first shelf 12 and a second shelf 13 disposed on the support 11; the second shelf 13 is slidably disposed on the support 11; the shelf assembly 10 has a first shelf state and a second shelf state; in the first shelf state, the second shelf 13 is configured to slide below the first shelf 12; in the second shelf state, the second shelf 13 is configured to slide to the side of the first shelf 12. The shelf assembly 10 can be switched between the first shelf state and the second shelf state to meet the shelf requirements of different items.

[0034] When the number of items to be placed is small, the shelf assembly 10 can present a first placing state, that is, the second shelf 13 is slid to the bottom of the first shelf 12 to realize the multifunctional folding function, and only the first shelf 12 is used as a carrier for placing items. When the number of items to be placed is large, the shelf assembly 10 can present a second placing state, that is, the second shelf 13 is slid to the side of the first shelf 12, and is used together with the first shelf 12 as a carrier for placing items. In some embodiments, when the shelf assembly 10 is placed in the accommodating cavity 20, the accommodating cavity 20 can be divided into two upper and lower storage spaces. When the size of the items to be placed is large, the second shelf 13 can be slid to the bottom of the first shelf 12, so that the two storage spaces are partially connected, so that the storage space is fully expanded to accommodate larger items.

[0035] It should be noted that when the first shelf 12 and the second shelf 13 are arranged in sequence along the left-right direction of the refrigeration device 100, the second shelf 13 can be pulled left and right relative to the first shelf 12; when the first shelf 12 and the second shelf 13 are arranged in sequence along the front-back direction of the refrigeration device 100 (in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface), the second shelf 13 can be pulled front and back relative to the first shelf 12.

[0036] See also Figures 2 to 4 , Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a support member 11 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a second shelf 13 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0037] The support member 11 includes a support body 110 and a first sliding portion 111 disposed on the support body 110. The first sliding portion 111 extends downwardly and obliquely relative to the second shelf 13 in a direction close to the first shelf 12. The second shelf 13 is provided with a first matching portion 131 that is slidably matched with the first sliding portion 111. Therefore, when the first matching portion 131 of the second shelf 13 is slidably matched with the first sliding portion 111 downward, the second shelf 13 can be firstly moved downwardly and obliquely relative to the first shelf 12 for a distance, so as to facilitate the subsequent sliding of the second shelf 13 to the right below the first shelf 12.

[0038] The supporting body 110 may be configured as a frame structure, and the first shelf 12 and the second shelf 13 may be configured as a plate-like structure. The material of the plate-like structure may be glass, but is not limited thereto.

[0039] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 Shown Figure 2 An enlarged view of the structure at point A of the shelf assembly 10 is shown.

[0040] In one embodiment, the first sliding portion 111 is provided with a lowest sliding position 1111, and when the first matching portion 131 is located at the lowest sliding position 1111, the upper surface where the second shelf 13 is located is located below the lower surface where the first shelf 12 is located. Thus, the first shelf 12 is prevented from interfering with the second shelf 13, and the second shelf 13 is prevented from sliding directly below the first shelf 12. In one embodiment, the surface where the first sliding portion 111 and the first matching portion 131 match is an arcuate surface, and compared with an inclined surface, the arcuate surface can provide a larger sliding support surface for the first sliding portion 111, so that the sliding process of the second shelf 13 is smoother.

[0041] Please continue reading Figure 2 In one embodiment, the support member 11 further includes a second sliding portion 112 disposed on the support body 110, which is located below the first shelf 12 and extends in the horizontal direction; the second shelf 13 further includes a second matching portion 132 that slidably matches with the second sliding portion 112, and when the first matching portion 131 is located at the lowest sliding position 1111, the second matching portion 132 contacts with the second sliding portion 112. Thus, after the second shelf 13 avoids the interference of the first shelf 12, the second matching portion 132 disposed on the second shelf 13 can slidably match with the second sliding portion 112 in the horizontal direction, so as to push the second shelf 13 directly below the first shelf 12. In some embodiments, the support member 11 further includes a reinforcing structure 116 disposed between the first sliding portion 111 and the second sliding portion 112.

[0042] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the support member 11 further includes a mounting groove 115 disposed on the support body 110 and extending in a horizontal direction for mounting the first shelf 12 , and the second sliding portion 112 is located below the mounting groove 115 .

[0043] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the first sliding portion 111 may be a slideway, and the first matching portion 131 may be a slider protruding from the lower surface of the second shelf 13. Of course, in other embodiments, the first sliding portion 111 may be a slide slot, and the first matching portion 131 may be a guide rail protruding from the lower surface of the second shelf 13. In one embodiment, the second sliding portion 112 may be a slide slot, and the second matching portion 132 may be the side edge of the second shelf 13, or a guide rail provided on the side edge of the second shelf 13.

[0044] It should be noted that the number of the first sliding part 111 and the second sliding part 112 can be set to two, respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the support body 110. Correspondingly, the number of the first matching part 131 and the second matching part 132 is also set to two, respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the second shelf 13, to ensure that the sliding process of the second shelf 13 is more balanced.

[0045] Please continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the shelf assembly 10 further includes a stopper 117 disposed on the support body 110, and the second shelf 13 is provided with a stopper matching portion 133 matching with the stopper 117. Thus, through the matching of the stopper matching portion 133 and the stopper 117, the user can be reminded that the second shelf 13 has slid into place. Exemplarily, the stopper 117 can be a support beam disposed on the support body 110, and the stopper matching portion 133 can be a side wall of the second shelf 13 disposed on the side facing the support beam. Of course, the specific structures of the stopper 117 and the stopper matching portion 133 are not limited thereto.

[0046] See also Figure 5 In one embodiment, the first sliding portion 111 is further provided with a highest sliding position 1112 and a parking position 1113, and the parking position 1113 is connected to the highest sliding position 1112; in the second resting state, the first matching portion 131 is parked at the parking position 1113. Thus, the parking position 1113 can provide a supporting force for the first matching portion 131, so that the second shelf 13 can be stably retained at the side of the first shelf 12. Exemplarily, the parking position 1113 is a parking plane extending parallel to the highest sliding position 1112 in a direction away from the first shelf 12.

[0047] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 FIG. 1 is another schematic structural diagram of a shelf assembly 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application; Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a shelf assembly 10 in a first shelf state according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0048] In one embodiment, the shelf assembly 10 further includes a third shelf 14 disposed on the support member 11. In the first shelf state, the third shelf 14 is disposed adjacent to the first shelf 12. Thus, the load plane of the shelf assembly 10 can be expanded in the first shelf state to accommodate a greater number of items for storage.

[0049] Please continue reading Figures 6 to 8 , Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a shelf assembly 10 in a third shelf state according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0050] In one embodiment, the shelf assembly 10 further includes a fourth shelf 15 slidably disposed on the support member 11; the shelf assembly 10 also has a third shelf state, in which the fourth shelf 15 is configured to slide to the bottom of the third shelf 14, and the sliding direction of the fourth shelf 15 toward the third shelf 14 is parallel to the sliding direction of the second shelf 13 toward the first shelf 12. Thus, the load plane of the shelf assembly 10 can be expanded in the first shelf state, and the shelf states of the shelf assembly 10 are increased to meet the shelf requirements of different items.

[0051] In some embodiments, the support member 11 further includes a third sliding portion 113 and a fourth sliding portion 114 disposed on the support body 110, wherein the third sliding portion 113 is configured to extend downwardly and obliquely toward the third shelf 14 relative to the fourth shelf 15, that is, parallel to the extension direction of the first sliding portion 111; the fourth sliding portion 114 is configured to extend in a horizontal direction and parallel to the extension direction of the second sliding portion 112. The fourth shelf 15 is correspondingly provided with a third matching portion 151 that is slidably matched with the third sliding portion 113, and a fourth matching portion that is slidably matched with the fourth sliding portion 114.

[0052] It should be noted that the third sliding portion 113 has the same structure as the first sliding portion 111 , the fourth sliding portion 114 and the second sliding portion 112 , and the third matching portion 151 has the same structure as the first matching portion 131 , the fourth matching portion and the second matching portion 132 , which will not be elaborated herein.

[0053] The words "first", "second" and similar terms mentioned in this application do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of this application shall be included in the scope of protection of this application.
