Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shelves, in particular to a shelf with adjustable height. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the utilization rate of the internal space, existing household refrigerators generally have special shelves inside the refrigerator. The shelves of ordinary refrigerators are generally pluggable and mounted in the refrigerator liner. The height is determined by the position of the card slot and cannot be adjusted. This leads to that in some cases, the items cannot be placed on the shelves smoothly due to insufficient reserved height of the shelves. If the shelves are removed, space will be wasted. Some high-end refrigerators are equipped with liftable electric shelves in the liner.

[0003] The Chinese invention patent with application number: 201611037914.0 discloses a lifting synchronization system for a refrigerator shelf, including: a controller, a shelf body and at least two lifting mechanisms, the lifting mechanism includes: a motor, a transmission screw, a guide rod, a connecting piece, and a sliding nut adapted to the transmission screw is also provided on the connecting piece. When the shelf body and the lifting mechanism are assembled, the connecting piece is slidably mounted on the guide rod, and the sliding nut is mounted on the transmission screw. The motor drives the transmission screw to rotate and drive the sliding nut to move up and down, thereby driving the shelf body to move along the guide rod; the controller is configured to control the speed and step number of each motor to gradually become synchronized according to the speed and step number signals of the corresponding motor fed back by each sensor.

[0004] Although the above technical solution solves the problem that the height of the shelf cannot be adjusted, the electric device has a complex structure. In addition, since frost is easy to form inside the refrigerator, the lifting mechanism may malfunction easily. The reliability of use is relatively low, the manufacturing cost is high, and the subsequent maintenance is troublesome. The shelf may slide and fall during the placement process. Therefore, the present application provides a height-adjustable shelf to meet the needs. Utility Model Content
