[0040] See also Figures 1 to 9The refrigerator shelf assembly 50 includes a mounting frame 10 and a shelf 20. The mounting frame 10 is provided with a sliding fitting portion, and the mounting frame 10 is used to be fixedly installed to the ribs 30 in the refrigerator; the shelf 20 is provided with a sliding portion, the shelf 20 is installed on the mounting frame 10, and the sliding portion and the sliding fitting portion are slidably fitted.

[0041] The existing shelf 20 can only be fixed on the ribs 30. If the shelf 20 is located at a higher position, the items stored inside the shelf 20 cannot be reached by a shorter user; if the conventional shelf 20 is pulled hard, the stored items are easy to fall, and long-term hard pulling will scratch the surface of the ribs 30.

[0042] In the technical solution provided by the utility model, a mounting frame 10 is provided, and a sliding fitting portion is provided on the mounting frame 10, so that the mounting frame 10 only needs to be installed on the ribs 30 in the refrigerator, and then the shelf 20 is installed on the mounting frame 10, and the sliding portion and the sliding fitting portion are slidingly fitted, so that the shelf 20 can slide in the refrigerator, so that the user can pull the shelf 20 out of the refrigerator, which is convenient for the user to take and place the items placed on the shelf 20 installed at a high place, and the mounting frame 10 can play a supporting role on the shelf 20, thereby improving the sliding stability.

[0043] It should be noted that the specific implementation forms of the sliding fitting part and the sliding part are not limited, and may be the cooperation of the rib 11 and the slide groove, or the cooperation of the slide groove and the pulley, etc., which are not limited here. The sliding fitting part may be integrally formed with the mounting frame 10, or may be a separate component fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 10, which are not limited here.

[0044] Specifically, in one embodiment, one of the sliding fitting portion and the sliding portion includes a convex rib 11, and the other includes a groove 21. In the technical solution of this embodiment, through the cooperation between the convex rib 11 and the groove 21, during the sliding process, the groove 21 can guide the sliding of the convex rib 11, thereby improving the stability during the sliding process.

[0045] It should be noted that, the sliding fitting part and the sliding part, one of which includes the rib 11, and the other includes the groove 21. The sliding fitting part may include the rib 11 and the sliding part includes the groove 21. Correspondingly, the mounting frame 10 is provided with the rib 11 and the shelf 20 is provided with the groove 21. The sliding fitting part may include the groove 21 and the sliding part includes the rib 11. Correspondingly, the mounting frame 10 is provided with the groove 21 and the shelf 20 is provided with the rib 11. No limitation is made here.

[0046] It should be emphasized that the shapes of the rib 11 and the groove 21 are not limited. Specifically, the rib 11 may be a square shape, and the corresponding groove 21 may be a square groove; or the rib 11 may be an arcuate shape, and the corresponding groove 21 may be an arcuate shape. In one embodiment, the rib 11 is arranged in an arc shape toward one end of the groove 21; and / or, the groove 21 is an arcuate shape. In this way, the rib 11 is arranged in an arc shape toward one end of the groove 21. During the sliding process, the rib 11 has no edges and corners, and the sliding stability is higher. Moreover, the groove 21 is an arcuate shape. The two cooperate with each other to further improve the sliding stability. Moreover, due to the cooperation between the arcuate shape and the arcuate rib 11, when the shelf 20 moves toward other directions, the arcuate shape can interfere with the movement of the arcuate rib 11, thereby improving the sliding stability.

[0047] It should be noted that the position where the sliding portion is arranged on the shelf 20 is not limited. When the shelf 20 is placed on the mounting frame 10, the sliding portion is arranged at the bottom of the shelf 20. When the shelf 20 is hoisted on the mounting frame 10, the sliding portion may be arranged at the top of the shelf 20, and so on. As long as it is arranged between the shelf 20 and the mounting frame 10, no limitation is made here. Correspondingly, the position where the sliding fitting portion is arranged on the mounting frame 10 is not limited. It may be arranged on the upper end surface of the mounting frame 10, or on the lower end surface of the mounting frame 10, and so on. As long as it is arranged between the shelf 20 and the mounting frame 10, no limitation is made here.

[0048] In one embodiment, the shelf 20 is placed on the mounting frame 10, so the sliding fitting portion is arranged on the upper end surface of the mounting frame 10, and the sliding portion is arranged on the bottom of the shelf 20. When the shelf 20 is placed and installed on the mounting frame 10, the sliding portion and the sliding fitting portion are slidingly fitted.

[0049] The specific implementation form of the mounting frame 10 is not limited, and it can be in the form of a mounting plate, so that the mounting plate is placed on the rib 11 of the refrigerator, or it can be a combination of multiple support frames, etc., which is not limited here.

[0050] In one embodiment, the mounting frame 10 includes a plurality of first support frames 12 spaced apart along a first direction and a second support frame 13 connecting the plurality of first support frames 12 in the first direction, and the sliding fitting portion is arranged on the first support frame 12. In the technical solution of this embodiment, by arranging the sliding fitting portion on the first support frame 12, the first support frame can cooperate with the sliding of the shelf 20, and by arranging the second support frame 13, the second support frame 13 can support the shelf 20, thereby improving the stability of the shelf 20 during the sliding process.

[0051] It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction can be any direction in space, such as horizontal and vertical, front-to-back and left-to-right, etc., and are not limited here. In one embodiment, the first direction is horizontal and the second direction is vertical, so that the shelf 20 can slide horizontally, the first support frame 12 supports the shelf 20 in the horizontal direction, and the second support frame 13 supports the shelf 20 in the vertical direction, thereby improving the supporting effect of the shelf 20. In addition, the combination of multiple support frames is lighter than the whole support plate, and the pressure on the ribs 30 of the refrigerator is smaller.

[0052] In a further embodiment, the sliding fitting portion includes a sliding bar, and the sliding bar is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 10 by a fastener.

[0053] At the same time, in order to improve the stability of the mounting frame 10 supporting the shelf 20, the length of the second support frame 13 in the second direction is greater than 40 mm. In the technical solution of this embodiment, the width of the second support frame 13 is increased by setting the length of the second support frame 13 in the second direction to be greater than 40 mm, thereby increasing the contact area between the second support frame 13 and the shelf 20, thereby improving the stability of the shelf 20 during sliding.

[0054] Of course, the strength of the second support frame 13 can also be improved by changing the material of the second support frame 13. Specifically, the second support frame 13 is an aluminum alloy support frame. Aluminum alloy has the characteristics of high strength and light weight. Therefore, using an aluminum alloy support frame as the second support frame 13 can strengthen the stability of the support.

[0055] It should be noted that the length of the second support frame 13 in the second direction is greater than 40 mm; the second support frame 13 is an aluminum alloy support frame; the two technical solutions can be set either one or both at the same time, which is not limited here.

[0056] Furthermore, the shelf 20 may be provided with only one or with multiple ones, which is not limited here. In one embodiment, every two adjacent first support frames 12 define a shelf installation area, and multiple first support frames 12 define multiple shelf installation areas; multiple shelves 20 are provided, and multiple shelves 20 are correspondingly installed in multiple shelf installation areas.

[0057] It should be noted that the multiple first support frames 12 define multiple shelf installation areas. It can be understood that the multiple shelves 20 can be installed in any number greater than one, such as two, three, four, etc., which is not limited here. The multiple first support frames 12 can be any number greater than two, such as three, four, five, etc., which is not limited here.

[0058] In the technical solution of this embodiment, a plurality of the shelf installation areas are defined by a plurality of the first support frames 12 , so that a plurality of the shelves 20 can be installed, allowing users to take and place items in different areas, thereby improving user experience.

[0059] In a further embodiment, three first support frames 12 are provided, the three first support frames 12 define two shelf installation areas, and the second support frames 13 are respectively connected to one end of the three first support frames 12 to form the installation frame 10.

[0060] It can be understood that during the sliding process, objects placed on the shelf 20 are prone to move. Therefore, in one embodiment, the shelf 20 includes a bottom plate 22 and a surrounding plate 23 surrounding the bottom plate 22. The bottom plate 22 and the surrounding plate 23 jointly define a storage space with an opening at one end. In the technical solution of this embodiment, the bottom plate 22 and the surrounding plate 23 jointly define a storage space with an opening at one end, so that users can store objects in the storage space from the opening. During the sliding process, the surrounding plate 23 surrounding the bottom plate 22 can act as a stopper for objects in the storage space, thereby preventing objects from falling out of the storage space.

[0061] The length of the portion of the enclosure 23 protruding from the bottom plate 22, that is, the depth of the storage space cannot be too small, otherwise the objects placed in the storage space are prone to jump during the sliding process of the shelf 20 and jump out of the storage space. Therefore, the length of the portion of the enclosure 23 protruding from the bottom plate 22 is greater than 30 mm, that is, the depth of the storage space is greater than 30 mm, so as to prevent the objects in the storage space from falling.

[0062] There is no restriction on the installation method between the enclosure 23 and the base plate 22, and the enclosure 23 can be screwed, spliced, clamped, etc., or can be integrated. Specifically, in one embodiment, four enclosures 23 are provided, and the four enclosures 23 are arranged around the base plate 22, and the peripheral side of the base plate 22 is clamped and installed with the enclosure 23. Specifically, a clamping groove can be provided on the enclosure 23, and during the installation process, the base plate 22 only needs to be clamped into the clamping groove.

[0063] Since the peripheral side of the base plate 22 is clamped in the slot of the enclosure 23, and the sliding fitting portion on the support frame is also arranged on the peripheral side of the base plate 22, the sliding portion is arranged on the enclosure 23 so as to be able to slide and fit with the sliding fitting portion on the support frame.

[0064] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application also proposes a refrigerator 100, which includes a refrigerator shelf assembly 50 as described above, and the refrigerator shelf assembly 50 includes a mounting frame 10 and a shelf 20, and the mounting frame 10 is provided with a sliding fitting portion, and the mounting frame 10 is used to be fixedly installed to the ribs 30 in the refrigerator; the shelf 20 is provided with a sliding portion, and the shelf 20 is installed on the mounting frame 10, and the sliding portion and the sliding fitting portion are slidingly fitted.

[0065] In the technical solution provided by the utility model, a mounting frame 10 is provided, and a sliding fitting portion is provided on the mounting frame 10, so that the mounting frame 10 only needs to be installed on the ribs 30 in the refrigerator, and then the shelf 20 is installed on the mounting frame 10, and the sliding portion and the sliding fitting portion are slidingly fitted, so that the shelf 20 can slide in the refrigerator, so that the user can pull the shelf 20 out of the refrigerator, which is convenient for the user to take and place the items placed on the shelf 20 installed at a high place, and the mounting frame 10 can play a supporting role on the shelf 20, thereby improving the sliding stability.
