DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional changes made by a person skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be understood that the terms used herein, such as "upper", "above", "lower", "below", etc., indicating spatial relative positions, are used for the purpose of convenience to describe the relationship of one unit or feature relative to another unit or feature as shown in the drawings. The terms of spatial relative positions may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation shown in the drawings.

[0030] An embodiment of the utility model provides a tray which is easy to assemble, has a firm structure and is more beautiful, and a refrigeration device comprising the tray.

[0031] This embodiment provides a refrigeration device, which may be a refrigerator, a freezer, a vertical refrigerator, a wine cabinet, etc. The following embodiments may be described by taking a refrigerator as an example. The refrigerator includes a box body and a door body, and the door body and the box body enclose a refrigeration space, and the refrigeration space includes a refrigeration compartment, a freezing compartment, a variable temperature compartment, etc. The refrigerator also includes a tray 100, and the tray 100 can be placed in these refrigeration compartments, freezing compartments, and variable temperature compartments.

[0032] As described in the background technology, the existing tray 100 and glass usually adopt a structure in which the glass is clamped by two layers of flanges, but there are some problems. In this embodiment, the tray 100 includes a bottom plate 20 and a frame body 10, the bottom plate 20 includes four side edges 21 arranged opposite to each other, the frame body 10 includes four side walls 11 surrounding the bottom plate 20, each of the side edges 21 is adjacent to one of the side walls 11, the frame body 10 surrounds an opening 101, the bottom plate 20 is arranged on a side away from the opening 101, at least two oppositely arranged side walls 11 include side wall surfaces 111 and a plurality of first embedded portions 12, the first embedded portion 12 includes a first groove body 122 and a clamping portion 123, the bottom plate 20 is embedded in the first groove body 122, the side wall surface 111 is in contact with the bottom plate 20, and the clamping portion 123 is arranged on the side of the bottom plate 20 away from the opening 101.

[0033] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the bottom plate 20 is roughly rectangular, and the cross section of the space surrounded by the four side walls 11 is also roughly rectangular. Each side edge 21 of the bottom plate 20 is adjacent to each side wall 11 of the frame 10, and the bottom plate 20 is arranged on the side away from the opening 101 of the tray 100. Figure 3 As shown, the frame 10 is roughly in a square frame shape. After the bottom plate 20 is installed in the frame 10, the effect is as follows Figure 4 As shown, here, since the side wall surface 111 is in contact with the bottom plate 20, there is no need to set the flange structure in the background technology, and fixation can be achieved by directly abutting the bottom plate 20 with the side wall surface 111. Therefore, there is no traditional flange structure when viewed from above, and the appearance is square and simple.

[0034] In order to clearly express the position and direction described in this embodiment, in this embodiment, the bottom plate 20 is defined as being installed in the frame 10 from top to bottom, with the reverse direction being the top. When the refrigerator door is opened, the tray 100 is pushed and pulled along the front-to-back direction, and the two sides of the plane where the front-to-back and top-to-bottom directions are located are the left side and the right side, respectively. Figure 1 In the figure, the first direction T1 is the front, the second direction T2 is the right, and the direction perpendicular to the plane where the bottom plate 20 is located is the top or the bottom.

[0035] When the bottom plate 20 is inserted downward into the frame 10, it is only necessary to press the bottom plate 20 downward into the first slot 122, and the side 21 slides into the first slot 122. At the same time, the bottom plate 20 cooperates with each other through the clamping part 123 in a position that is not easy to see, and the assembly process is simple and quick.

[0036] The bottom plate 20 can be made of glass, and the groove structure added to the glass is used to limit the loosening between the frame 10 and the glass. The groove structure is set at the edge of the glass, and its shape is a rectangular groove, which is adapted to the clamping part 123 on the tray 100, and the clamping part 123 is used to clamp into the groove structure of the glass. The clamping part 123 is set below the side wall surface 111, and its shape is a protrusion block, corresponding to the groove structure of the glass. The protruding part of the clamping part 123 is clamped into the groove structure to achieve a fixed connection between the frame 10 and the bottom plate 20.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the side wall surface 111 is inclined, and the area of ​​the cross section enclosed by the four side wall surfaces 111 gradually decreases from the opening 101 to the bottom plate 20. The inclined side wall surface 111 design makes it easier to position and insert the tray 100 during the assembly process, thereby improving the convenience of assembly. At the same time, the gradually decreasing cross-sectional area design enhances the stability of the tray 100 and prevents the tray 100 from tilting or sliding during use.

[0038] When using the tray 100, the inclined side wall 11 can bring such a visual experience: when the user looks down from above the tray 100, he sees a whole wall of frameless glass, and the bottom plate 20 seems to be just placed in the tray 100, but it can be stably connected and will not fall off, achieving a more beautiful visual effect.

[0039] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the tray 100 is used to move along the first direction T1, and the two side walls 11 arranged opposite to each other along the first direction T1 are both provided with a first embedding portion 12. The first embedding portions 12 are provided on the opposite side walls 11 of the tray 100, so that the tray 100 remains stable during the movement along the first direction T1, avoiding looseness and abnormal noise caused by the movement, thereby improving the use performance of the tray 100 and the user experience.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, the first embedded portion 12 further includes abutting surface 121, the abutting surface 121 abuts the bottom plate 20, and the side wall surface 111 is inclined to the abutting surface 121. The design of the abutting surface 121 enhances the fixing effect of the tray 100, and through the close contact between the abutting surface 121 and the bottom plate 20, the connection strength between the tray 100 and the frame 10 is improved, and the tray 100 is further prevented from loosening and shifting.

[0041] Continue as Figure 6As shown, the clamping portion 123 includes a clamping block, and a clamping groove 22 is provided on the bottom plate 20, and the clamping block is embedded in the clamping groove 22. The cooperation between the clamping block and the clamping groove 22 realizes a firm connection of the tray 100. Through the embedded design, the connection between the tray 100 and the bottom plate 20 is more stable, and the occurrence of looseness is avoided, thereby improving the overall stability and service life of the tray 100.

[0042] Furthermore, the distance from the end of the clamping portion 123 away from the side edge 21 to the side edge 21 is longer than the distance from the end of the side wall surface 111 connected to the bottom plate 20 to the side edge 21. This design further optimizes the clamping structure, and by increasing the length of the clamping portion 123, the stability and firmness of the clamping are improved, so that the tray 100 is not easy to loosen or deform during use, thereby improving the overall performance of the tray 100.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the clamping groove 22 is provided as a groove body extending in a second direction T2 perpendicular to the first direction T1, and a plurality of clamping blocks are provided symmetrically along the mid-perpendicular line of the bottom plate 20. By providing a plurality of symmetrical clamping blocks, the connection of the tray 100 is made more uniform and stable, and the force on both sides of the tray 100 is uniform, thereby preventing the problem of overturning on either side. At the same time, the extension direction design of the clamping groove 22 makes the fixing effect of the tray 100 in the vertical direction better, further preventing loosening and displacement.

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 3 , 7 As shown in Figures 8 and 9, two side walls 11 arranged along the second direction T2 perpendicular to the first direction T1 are provided with a plurality of second embedded parts 13, the second embedded parts 13 include a second groove 131 and a limiting part 132, the bottom plate 20 is embedded in the second groove 131, and the limiting part 132 is arranged on the side of the bottom plate 20 away from the opening 101. In addition, the abutting surface 121 can be arranged above the side edge 21 around the entire bottom plate 20, that is, the abutting surface 121 is also arranged at the second embedded part 13. The design of the second embedded part 13 enhances the fixing effect of the tray 100 in multiple directions. Through the cooperation of the abutting surface 121 and the limiting part 132, the connection between the bottom plate 20 and the side wall 11 is made more firm, further preventing the tray 100 from loosening and shifting, and improving the overall stability of the tray 100.

[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 8As shown, several second embedded parts 13 are symmetrically arranged along the mid-perpendicular line of the bottom plate 20; the distance from the end of the limiting part 132 to the side edge 21 is longer than the distance from the end of the side wall surface 111 connecting the bottom plate 20 to the side edge 21. By symmetrically arranging multiple second embedded parts 13, the connection of the tray 100 is more uniform and stable. The length design of the limiting part 132 further optimizes the limiting effect, improves the stability and firmness of the tray 100 during use, and prevents loosening and displacement.

[0046] By applying the above optimized tray 100 to the refrigeration equipment, the overall performance of the refrigeration equipment is improved. The stable connection and anti-loosening design of the tray 100 make the refrigeration equipment more stable during use, reduce noise and abnormal sound, and improve user experience and product quality.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0048] The tray 100 is directly in contact with the bottom plate 20 through the side wall surface 111. There is no traditional flange structure when viewed from above, and the appearance is square and simple. In addition, the assembly process is simple and quick. It is only necessary to press the bottom plate 20 downward into the first groove 122. Since the clamping portion 123 is arranged on the side of the bottom plate 20 away from the opening 101, the bottom plate 20 is installed into the frame 10 and the clamping portion 123 and the bottom plate 20 cooperate with each other in a position that is not easy to see, thereby preventing the tray 100 and the glass from loosening and making abnormal noises during use. That is, the assembly is firm and simple, which reduces the production cost while improving the product quality and user experience.

[0049] It should be understood that although this specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each implementation mode may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0050] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of the utility model. They are not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any equivalent implementation methods or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
