[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, Figure 2A direction indicates the length direction of the bracket 10, and B direction indicates the first direction. The first aspect of the utility model proposes a retaining frame 103 for fixing the shelf 101 in the equipment box 100. The retaining frame 103 includes a bracket 10 and a buffer assembly 20. The bracket 10 is used to be installed inside the equipment box 100. The bracket 10 has at least one mounting portion 13. The buffer assembly 20 is detachably mounted on the mounting portion 13. The buffer assembly 20 has a connecting groove 21, and the connecting groove 21 is used for the shelf 101 to be plugged in.
[0040] It is understandable that the bracket 10 can be prismatic or cylindrical, or can be a frame-type structure. The equipment box 100 can be a refrigerator box or a freezer box or a display cabinet, and the shelf 101 can be a glass shelf in the refrigerator box or a partition in the freezer. When in use, the bracket 10 is placed in the equipment box 100 along the height direction of the equipment box 100, and the bottom is in contact with the equipment box 100. The buffer component 20 can be connected to the bracket 10 in a detachable manner such as snap-on or sleeve-on, and the buffer component 20 can be replaced according to shelves 101 of different specifications to improve the matching adaptability of the buffer component 20. The buffer component 20 can be bent into a U-shaped structure by cardboard to realize the setting of the connecting groove 21, and the shelf 101 can be fixed by plugging the shelf 101 into the connecting groove 21, and the buffer component 20 can be made of flexible material to provide buffer protection for the shelf 101. The buffer component 20 can also be a U-shaped structure made of environmentally friendly foam material, and also has a connecting groove 21 to fix the shelf 101, and achieves buffering through its own material properties.
[0041] The holder 103 proposed by the utility model is provided with at least one buffer component 20 by installing a bracket 10 inside the equipment box 100, and the bracket 10 is provided with at least one buffer component 20. The shelf 101 in the equipment box 100 can be inserted into the connection groove 21 of the buffer component 20 for fixing, thereby reducing the shaking of the shelf 101 during transportation, thereby preventing the shelf 101 from being damaged during transportation. And the buffer component 20 is selectively installed on at least one mounting portion 13 of the bracket 10 in a detachable manner, so as to adjust the position of the buffer component 20 according to the position of the shelf 101, or replace the buffer component 20 of different specifications, so as to improve the adaptability of the buffer component 20.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bracket 10 is a columnar structure, and the bracket 10 has a plurality of mounting portions 13 , and all the mounting portions 13 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the bracket 10 .
[0043] It is understandable that the bracket 10 can be cylindrical, quadrangular or triangular prism-shaped, and the bracket 10 can be realized by bending cardboard or bonding multiple plates. The mounting portion 13 is arranged along the length direction of the bracket 10, that is, the axial direction of the bracket 10, to correspond to the multiple shelves 101 arranged along the height direction of the equipment box 100. The mounting portion 13 can be a card slot or a mounting protrusion, etc., and the buffer component 20 is fixed on the bracket 10 by plugging or sleeve fitting with the mounting portion 13.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting portion 13 includes a mounting groove, and the buffer assembly 20 is inserted into the mounting groove.
[0045] It is understandable that the mounting groove can be opened on the peripheral side wall of the bracket 10, and the mounting groove is configured to extend along the width direction of the buffer component 20, so that the buffer component 20 can be firmly inserted into the mounting groove to achieve fixation.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bracket 10 includes at least three support plates 11, which are connected end to end and enclosed into a columnar structure. The mounting groove includes a first part 14 and a second part 15, which are respectively arranged on two adjacent support plates 11, and the first part 14 is connected to the second part 15.
[0047] It can be understood that the three support plates 11 can be formed as one piece, for example, by bending cardboard, the three support plates 11 are connected end to end, the last support plate 11 can be bonded to the first support plate 11, and a mounting groove can be opened on the outer peripheral surface of the bracket 10, by opening a first part 14 and a second part 15 at the connection between two adjacent support plates 11, and the first part 14 and the second part 15 are connected at the edges, and the upper and lower groove walls of the mounting groove are V-shaped, so that the contact area between the mounting groove and the buffer assembly 20 is increased, and a good supporting effect is achieved.
[0048] In some embodiments of the utility model, the bracket 10 is provided with a limiting portion 12, which is arranged in the installation groove, and the buffer assembly 20 is provided with a matching portion 22, which is limitedly matched with the matching portion 22, and the limiting portion 12 is used to limit the buffer assembly 20 from escaping from the installation groove.
[0049] It can be understood that the limiting portion 12 can be a protrusion arranged in the installation groove, and the matching portion 22 can be a protrusion arranged on the buffer component 20. The cross-section of the installation groove can be L-shaped, and the cross-section of the buffer component 20 is also L-shaped. During installation, the buffer component 20 is horizontally inserted into the installation groove, and the two L-shaped structures form a limiting structure, which increases the contact area and enables the buffer component 20 to be limited in the installation groove by the limiting portion 12, thereby improving the reliability of the installation.
[0050] In some embodiments of the utility model, the buffer assembly 20 includes a first buffer plate 23, a connecting portion 25 and a second buffer plate 24. The first buffer plate 23 is connected to the second buffer plate 24 through the connecting portion 25. A connecting groove 21 is formed between the first buffer plate 23 and the second buffer plate 24. The side of the first buffer plate 23 facing away from the second buffer plate 24 abuts against the first groove wall 131 of the mounting groove, and the side of the second buffer plate 24 facing away from the first buffer plate 23 abuts against the second groove wall 132 of the mounting groove.
[0051] It can be understood that the first buffer plate 23 and the second buffer plate 24 are flat plate structures and are arranged relative to each other, so that a connection groove 21 is formed between the first buffer plate 23 and the second buffer plate 24, and the connection portion 25 can be perpendicular to the first buffer plate 23 and the second buffer plate 24, and connected with the first buffer plate 23 and the second buffer plate 24 to form an integral structure. Specifically, when the buffer assembly 20 is a structure formed by bending a cardboard, the first buffer plate 23, the connection portion 25 and the second buffer plate 24 are connected in sequence, and a matching portion 22 can be arranged between the second buffer plate 24 and the connection portion 25, that is, the bending is increased, and a matching portion 22 with an L-shaped cross section is arranged between the connection portion 25 and the second buffer plate 24, so that the matching portion 22 is arranged at an angle with the second buffer plate 24 and extends in a direction away from the connection groove 21. When installed in the connection groove 21, it cooperates with the limiting portion 12 in the groove to achieve limiting, thereby improving reliability.
[0052] Furthermore, the limiting portion 12 includes a limiting groove 133 arranged in the installation groove, and the second groove wall 132 is partially recessed to form the limiting groove 133. The installation groove and the limiting groove 133 both penetrate the bracket along the first direction (direction B in Figure 2), and the second buffer plate 24 is connected to the connecting portion 25 through the matching portion 22. The matching portion 22 is arranged on the side of the second buffer plate 24 away from the first buffer plate 23, and parts of the matching portion 22 and the connecting portion 25 are located in the limiting groove 133.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present utility model, at least a portion of the first buffer plate 23 is located in the mounting groove;
[0054] And / or, at least a portion of the second buffer plate 24 is located in the mounting groove.
[0055] It can be understood that part of the first buffer plate 23 is extended beyond the mounting slot in the radial direction of the bracket 10, so that the first buffer plate 23 and the connected shelf 101 have a larger contact area. Similarly, part of the second buffer plate 24 is extended beyond the mounting slot in the radial direction of the bracket 10, so that the second buffer plate 24 and the connected shelf 101 have a larger contact area, which makes the fixation of the shelf 101 more reliable, reduces shaking during transportation, and improves the buffering and protection of the retaining frame 103.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, the support 10 is a paper structure;
[0057] And / or, the buffer component 20 is a paper structure.
[0058] It is understandable that the buffer component 20 and / or the bracket 10 can be formed by bending cardboard in one piece, which is easy to process, environmentally friendly and odorless, and has a good buffering effect. The buffer component 20 can also be made of other environmentally friendly materials. The holder 103 can be composed of paper structures as much as possible to have good environmental protection and reduce odor, and reduce the phenomenon that the holder 103 generates odor in the closed device box 100 to affect the user experience.
[0059] The second aspect of the utility model proposes a device assembly, including a device case 100, the retaining frame 103 proposed in the first aspect of the utility model and at least one shelf 101, the device case 100 has a accommodating cavity, the shelf 101 is installed in the accommodating cavity, the retaining frame 103 proposed in the first aspect of the utility model is installed in the accommodating cavity, and a part of the shelf 101 is inserted in the connecting groove 21.
[0060] The device assembly proposed in the second aspect of the present invention has the same beneficial effects as the holder 103 proposed in the first aspect of the present invention. The device assembly may be a refrigerator, a freezer, or other storage device with a built-in shelf 101. The holder 103 is used to reinforce the shelf 101 inside the device box 100, thereby reducing the damage caused by the shaking of the shelf 101 during the transportation of the device assembly.
[0061] In some embodiments of the utility model, the device box 100 is a refrigerator box, a freezer box, a display cabinet box, or a storage cabinet box. The retaining frame 103 proposed in the first aspect of the utility model can be placed in the accommodating cavity of the refrigerator box, the freezer box, the display cabinet box, or the storage cabinet box to fix the shelf 101 inside the box, thereby reducing the damage of the shelf 101 caused by shaking during the transportation of the box.
[0062] Taking the refrigerator as an example, the specific operation steps of fixing the shelf 101 with the holder 103 are as follows: bend the cardboard into a bracket 10 with a triangular prism structure, use glue to shape the bracket 10, and then fold the cardboard into a buffer component. Apply glue to connect the buffer component 20 to the bracket 10, and then bake the whole, and complete the overall assembly after the glue solidifies. Finally, place the holder 103 in the accommodating cavity of the refrigerator and plug it into the shelf 101.
[0063] The holder 103 is plugged into the corresponding mounting portion 13 through the buffer assembly 20 to adapt to different accessory positions inside the refrigerator, thereby realizing the matching protection function of multiple interior accessories. The use of paper material solves the problem of odor of EPS parts and avoids the phenomenon of glass shelf guard plate breaking.
[0064] Since the retaining frame 103 fits closely with the glass shelf and the drawer, the relevant fitting gaps are basically filled, which can better protect the refrigerator drawer. In view of the supporting strength of the relevant structure, the thickness of the corrugated paper used in the retaining frame 103 can also be appropriately adjusted according to the protection strength of the glass shelf, and generally a thickness of 2.5-5mm can be used.
[0065] The above are only preferred specific implementations of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
