[0040] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the refrigerator provided in this application. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a box provided in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a box provided in some other embodiments of the present application.

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a refrigerator. The refrigerator may include a box body 1. The box body 1 may include a shell 12. The shell 12 is generally in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. It is understood that in other embodiments, the shell 12 may also adopt other shapes.

[0042] The box body 1 may include a box liner 11. The box liner 11 is arranged in the outer shell 12, and the box liner 11 forms a storage space of the refrigerator. The box liner 11 may be provided with a take-in and take-out opening 111. The take-in and take-out opening 111 may be arranged on a side of the box liner 11 facing the user.

[0043] The refrigerator may include a door 3. The door 3 is movably connected to the housing 1. In some embodiments, the door may be rotatably connected to the housing 1. The door 3 may be hinged to a side of the housing 1 where a take-in / take-out opening 111 is provided, and is used to close the housing 11 to insulate the housing 11 from the outside.

[0044] The box 11 may be formed with a storage compartment 112. The storage compartment 112 may include a refrigerator and a freezer to meet different storage needs of users. For example, the refrigerator is suitable for storing vegetables, fruits, beverages, etc., and the freezer is suitable for placing meat, quick-frozen food, etc.

[0045] In order to meet more user needs, the storage compartment 112 may also include a fresh-keeping drawer and a variable temperature room.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the refrigerator may further include a shelf assembly 2. The shelf assembly 2 is arranged in the box 11. The box 11 has ribs 113 arranged on opposite side walls thereof.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, the ribs 113 are respectively arranged on the left and right walls of the box 11. The ribs 113 extend along the depth direction of the box 11, that is, the ribs 113 extend from the access opening 111 to the rear wall of the box 11. The ribs 113 on the left and right walls of the box 11 are arranged opposite to each other. The shelf assembly 2 is supported on two opposite ribs 113, thereby forming a shelf space 23 where items can be placed.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the left side wall of the box 11 is provided with a plurality of ribs 113 along its height direction. The right side wall of the box 11 is provided with a plurality of ribs 113 along its height direction. The shelf assembly 2 can be placed at different heights of the box 11, or a plurality of shelf assemblies 2 can be placed in the box 11.

[0049] Adjacent ribs 113 are spaced apart along the height direction of the refrigerator, so that shelf spaces 23 for placing items are formed between different shelf assemblies 2.

[0050] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the shelf assembly provided in the present application in the first usage state. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the shelf assembly provided for this application.

[0051] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the shelf assembly 2 includes a guide rail 21. The guide rail 21 is configured in two groups. The two groups of guide rails 21 are arranged opposite to each other and are respectively connected to the two opposite side walls of the box 11. The ribs 113 protrude into the box 11, and the guide rails 21 are supported on the ribs 113.

[0052] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the guide rail provided in this application.

[0053] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the guide rail 21 may include a flip section 211, a fixed section 212 and a connector 213. The flip section 211 and the fixed section 212 are arranged front and back along the depth direction of the box 11. The connector 213 is connected to the flip section 211 and the fixed section 212 respectively, so that the flip section 211 and the fixed section 212 can form a complete guide rail 21.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the ribs 113 can also form a limiting groove. The fixed section 212 of the guide rail 21 is limited in the limiting groove. The guide rail 21 can be stably supported on the ribs 113. The fixed section 212 of the guide rail 21 abuts against the side wall of the box 11 to prevent the guide rail 21 from moving left and right, thereby improving the connection stability between the guide rail 21 and the box 11.

[0055] The flip section 211 of the guide rail 21 protrudes from the limiting groove, so that the flip section 211 is not limited by the limiting groove.

[0056] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the shelf assembly 2 includes a shelf rod 22. A plurality of shelf rods 22 are provided. The two ends of the shelf rod 22 are respectively connected to two sets of guide rails 21 for supporting articles. The shelf rod 22 can move along the extension direction of the guide rail 21 and be positioned at different positions in the guide rail 21, so that different loading areas can be formed between the plurality of shelf rods 22, thereby enabling the shelf assembly 2 to form different shelf spaces 23.

[0057] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the application, a slot 216 is provided on the guide rail 21. The slot 216 extends along the length direction of the guide rail 21. The slots 216 on the two sets of guide rails 21 are arranged opposite to each other. Both ends of the shelf rod 22 are respectively connected to the slot 216 and can move along the length direction of the slot 216.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, when there are many items to be placed in the refrigerator, multiple shelf rods 22 are spaced apart and distributed on the flip section 211 and the fixed section 212 of the guide rail 21, that is, the shelf rods 22 are distributed between the two ends of the guide rail 21, so that the shelf assembly 2 forms the largest loading area.

[0059] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of the shelf assembly provided in the present application in the second usage state. Figure 8 This is a schematic structural diagram of the shelf assembly provided in the present application in the third usage state.

[0060] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8When there are fewer items to be placed, or when the front space of the shelf assembly 2 needs to be opened to place larger items, multiple shelf rods 22 can be moved to the rear of the box 11 to hollow out the side of the shelf assembly 2 close to the access port 111, thereby increasing the distance between two adjacent shelf assemblies 2 close to the access port.

[0061] like Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of shelf rods 22 may be evenly distributed only on the fixed section 212 of the guide rail 21 , so that the shelf space 23 between the flip sections 211 of the two sets of guide rails 21 may be opened, thereby being able to place larger items at the front of the box 11 .

[0062] like Figure 8 As shown, if there are fewer items to be placed and the sizes of the items are inconsistent, such as when bottles or canned products of different heights need to be placed horizontally, the shelf rods 22 can be distributed only at the rear of the guide rail 21, and the distances between two adjacent shelf rods 22 can be set to be different.

[0063] In other embodiments, a portion of the multiple shelf rods 22 can be retracted to the rear of the guide rail 21, and the remaining shelf rods 22 can be spaced apart and distributed in the middle and rear portion of the guide rail 21, which can open up the front space of the shelf assembly 2 to allow for the placement of taller objects, and can also be used for the horizontal placement of objects of different heights.

[0064] Fig. 9 This is a schematic structural diagram of the shelf assembly provided in the present application in the fourth usage state.

[0065] like Fig. 9 As shown, when items of higher height need to be placed, the shelf rods 22 can all be moved to the rear of the guide rail 21 to form a retracted state. At this time, the shelf rods 22 can all be moved to the fixed section 212 of the guide rail 21, and the front space of the shelf assembly 2 corresponding to the flip section 211 of the guide rail 21 can be fully opened.

[0066] Fig.10 This is a schematic structural diagram of the shelf assembly provided in the present application in the fifth usage state.

[0067] like Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the flip section 211 can be flipped along the connecting member 213 to fold the guide rail 21. The connecting member 213 can be a hinge. The connecting member 213 is connected to the upper surface of the flip section 211 and the upper surface of the fixed section 212 respectively. The flip section 211 can be flipped upward with the connecting member 213 as a fulcrum. The flip section 211 can be folded upward to open the space when the flip section 211 is placed horizontally, release the space in the width direction of the front part of the box 11, and further open the shelf space 23 to accommodate the placement of large-volume objects.

[0068] Fig.11 A schematic diagram of the structure of the shelf rod provided in this application.

[0069] like Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the shelf rod 22 includes a limiting portion 221 and a bearing portion 222. Both ends of the bearing portion 222 are respectively connected to the limiting portion 221. The limiting portion 221 is limited in the slot 216 of the guide rail 21. The bearing portion 222 passes through the notch of the slot 216 and is connected to the limiting portion 221.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the bearing portion 222 can be set to a cylindrical shape. The limiting portion 221 can be set to a cylindrical shape. The cylindrical structure facilitates the shelf rod 22 to move along the length direction of the guide rail 21. It is understood that in other embodiments, the bearing portion 222 and the limiting portion 221 can also be set to other shapes.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the width of the bottom of the slot 216 is greater than the width of the slot opening of the slot 216. The outer diameter of the stopper 221 is greater than the width of the slot opening of the slot 216, which can prevent the shelf rod 22 from falling off from the slot opening of the slot 216. When installing the shelf rod 22, the shelf rod 22 can be slid into the slot 216 from the front end of the guide rail 21.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the flip section 211 of the guide rail 21 may be provided with a first fixing hole 217. The first fixing hole 217 is provided on the side wall of the guide rail 21. A second fixing hole (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the side wall of the box 11. The second fixing hole is provided in the extension direction of the guide rail 21. The second fixing hole is provided on the side wall of the box 11 corresponding to the flip section 211 of the guide rail 21. The second fixing hole is arranged opposite to the first fixing hole 217. The shelf assembly 2 includes a first fixing member 26. The first fixing member 26 may be a screw. The first fixing hole 217 may be provided with an internal thread. The second fixing hole may be provided with an internal thread. The first fixing member 26 can be inserted into the first fixing hole 217 and the second fixing hole, so as to fix the flip section 211 of the guide rail 21 to the side wall of the box 11.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, a third fixing hole (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the box 11. The third fixing hole is provided with an internal thread. The flip section 211 of the guide rail 21 can flip upward to a position corresponding to the first fixing hole 217 and the third fixing hole. The first fixing member 26 can be inserted into the first fixing hole 217 and the third fixing hole, so that the flip section 211 after flipping can be fixed to the side wall of the box 11, avoiding the flip section 211 from moving after flipping and colliding with the items placed in the box 11. The first fixing member 216 is threadedly connected to the first fixing hole 217 and the third fixing hole, and the connection is simple and has high stability.

[0074] When the guide rail 21 needs to be folded, first disassemble the connection between the first fixing piece 26 and the first fixing hole 217 and the second fixing hole so that the flip section 211 of the guide rail 21 can rotate, and then flip the flip section 211 upward until the first fixing hole 217 and the third fixing hole are aligned, and then screw the first fixing piece 216 into the first fixing hole and the third fixing hole to fix the flip section 211 of the guide rail 21.

[0075] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of positioning holes 214 may be provided on the guide rail 21. The plurality of positioning holes 214 are sequentially distributed along the extension direction of the guide rail 21.

[0076] The plurality of positioning holes 214 may be evenly distributed on the guide rail 21 .

[0077] The plurality of positioning holes 214 may be unevenly distributed on the guide rail 21 .

[0078] The positioning hole 214 passes through the guide rail 21 downward from the upper end surface of the guide rail 21. The positioning hole 214 is connected to the slot 216. The shelf assembly 2 includes a positioning member 24. The positioning member 24 is inserted into the positioning hole 214 and extends into the slot 216 in the guide rail 21 to limit the shelf rod 22, so that the shelf assembly 2 can be used in a fully expanded, partially expanded or retracted state at the rear of the guide rail 21.

[0079] When the shelf assembly 2 is installed on the box 11 and is in a fully expanded state, the fixed section 212 of the guide rail 21 can be connected to the box rib 113 first, and then the flip section 211 can be fixed to the side wall of the box 11 through the first fixing member 26, and then the shelf rod 22 can be installed on the guide rail 21.

[0080] If it is necessary to open the shelf space 23 at the front of the refrigerator, the positioning member 24 used to limit the guide rail 21 can be removed first, so that the shelf rod 22 connected to the front of the guide rail 21 can be moved along the guide rail 21 to the rear of the box 11, releasing the shelf space 23 at the front of the refrigerator, and then the positioning member 24 is inserted into the positioning hole 214 on the rear side or the front and rear sides of the shelf rod 22 that needs to be fixed in position, so that the moved shelf rod 22 can be positioned.

[0081] If it is necessary to further release the space in the width direction of the box 11, the first fixing member 26 on the flipping section 211 of the guide rail 21 can be removed, and then the flipping section 211 of the guide rail 21 can be flipped upward to make the first fixing hole 217 correspond to the third fixing hole, and then the first fixing member 26 can be passed through the first fixing hole 217 and the third fixing hole in sequence, so that the flipping section 211 of the flipped guide rail 21 is fixed to the side wall of the box 11, thereby further releasing the space 23 of the refrigerator shelf and storing larger items.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the guide rail 21 may include a limiting hole 215. The limiting hole 215 is arranged at one end of the guide rail 21 away from the access port 111. The limiting hole 215 passes through the guide rail 21 from the upper surface of the guide rail 21. The limiting hole 215 is connected to the slot 216 in the guide rail 21. The shelf assembly 2 may include a limiting member 25. The limiting member 25 is passed through the limiting hole 215. The limiting member 25 is located between the rear wall of the box 11 and a shelf rod 22 closest to the rear wall of the box 11, and abuts against the shelf rod 22, so that the shelf rod 22 can be limited to the side of the limiting member 25 facing the access port 111, thereby preventing the shelf rod 22 from detaching from the rear end of the guide rail 21, and also preventing the shelf rod 22 from colliding with the rear wall of the box 11.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the shelf assembly 2 may include a shelf rope 27. The shelf rope 27 is connected between two connected shelf rods 22. In this way, when multiple shelf rods 22 need to be deployed, the shelf rod 22 closest to the access opening 111 is pulled, and the other shelf rods 22 can be driven by the shelf rope 27 and move toward the access opening 111 one after another to achieve the deployed state.

[0084] A shelf rope 27 may be provided between two adjacent shelf rods 22 .

[0085] A plurality of shelf ropes 27 may be arranged between two adjacent shelf rods 22 and spaced in sequence along the width direction of the box 11. The plurality of shelf ropes 27 are evenly arranged to improve the force uniformity between the shelf rods 22, thereby improving the movement stability of the shelf rods 22.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, the shelf rope 27 may be an elastic member, such as a rubber band, etc. The elasticity of the shelf rope 27 enables the distance between adjacent shelf rods 22 to be adjusted, and when the shelf rope 27 is in an extended state, if the shelf rods 22 need to be stored to the rear of the box 11, the shelf rope 27 can drive the shelf rods 22 to move backward after the positioning member 24 is released.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the positioning member 24 can be arranged in front of and behind the shelf rod 22 and abut against the shelf rod 22 respectively to achieve the limiting of the shelf rod 22.

[0088] In some other embodiments of the present application, the positioning member 24 can be arranged behind the shelf rod 22 and abut against the rear side of the shelf rod 22 to limit the position of the shelf rod 22.
