Obviously, the described implementation manners are only a part of the implementation manners of the present utility model, rather than all of the implementation manners. Based on the implementation manners in the present utility model, all other implementation manners obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] The following details the implementation manners of the present utility model. The examples of the implementation manners are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The implementation manners described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown (as a whole), this embodiment provides a refrigerator, including an inner container 1 and a storage rack 2 installed inside the inner container 1.

[0032] The inner liner 1 forms the storage space inside the refrigerator, including the bottom, side walls and top cover part. It cooperates with the refrigerator door body to form a closed cavity as a whole, ensuring that cold air can be evenly distributed throughout the internal space and providing a stable and low-temperature storage environment. The inner liner 1 can be made of materials such as high-density plastic or stainless steel. There is also heat-insulating material filled between the inner liner 1 and the refrigerator outer shell, such as polyurethane foam, which plays a role in heat insulation and heat preservation.

[0033] As Figure 2 shown, the storage rack 2 is the main component for storing food inside the refrigerator, which includes a storage board 21 made of glass, metal or high-strength plastic. The storage rack 2 can be fixed on the wall of the inner liner 1 through a card slot or a bracket, providing a stable storage space. The storage rack 2 can also be set as an adjustable structure, moving up and down as needed to flexibly adjust the height of the storage space to adapt to the storage needs of different sizes of food. The storage rack 2 reasonably divides and utilizes the internal space of the refrigerator, enabling food to be stored in categories, avoiding stacking and chaos, and improving the neatness and convenience of storage.

[0034] A front trim strip 22 is provided on the outer side of the storage board 21. The front trim strip 22 can be made of high-strength plastic or metal materials, thus providing better strength, durability and decorative effects. The front trim strip 22 can be designed as an embedded structure and installed at the front end of the storage rack 2 through a card slot or a fixing part to ensure the tight combination of the front trim strip 22 and the storage board 21 and prevent it from loosening easily.

[0035] It should be noted that the outer side of the storage board 21 mentioned here refers to the edge side of the storage board 21 facing the refrigerator door. In contrast, the inner side of the storage board 21 refers to the edge side facing the inner wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1 relative to its outer side.

[0036] As Figure 3 shown, an electrical component 3 is provided inside the storage rack 2. By setting different electrical components 3 in the storage rack 2, the functionality and user experience of the refrigerator can be enhanced. The electrical component 3 includes lamp beads, light strips and cameras, etc. In this embodiment, the electrical component 3 is a light strip, and the light strip can be a flexible LED light strip, which has the characteristics of being bendable, adjustable in length and convenient to install. Through the light strip, a uniform lighting effect can be provided and a surrounding lighting can be formed to reduce lighting dead corners. The length and shape of the light strip can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the storage rack 2. In addition to the basic lighting function, the light strip can also be used as part of the ambient lighting to create different light and shadow effects and improve the aesthetics inside the refrigerator. For example, when using the refrigerator at night, a warm atmosphere can be created through soft lighting.

[0037] In this embodiment, the electrical component is a strip-shaped light belt, and the light belt extends along one side of the covering member to the opposite side of the covering member. The light belt extends from one side of the covering member to the opposite side, forming a surrounding lighting layout, providing uniform light coverage, and ensuring that all items on the storage rack can be fully illuminated.

[0038] The lighting of traditional refrigerators is mostly concentrated on the top, which is easily blocked by items on the storage rack, resulting in uneven light distribution. Installing a light belt on the storage rack can provide more uniform light coverage. No matter what items are placed on the storage rack, it can ensure sufficient lighting, facilitating users to view and take food.

[0039] The light belt can also be used as an indicator light for the refrigerator status. For example, lights of different colors can indicate different working states of the refrigerator (such as normal operation, fault alarm, too high or too low temperature, etc.), helping users to timely understand the operation of the refrigerator.

[0040] In other embodiments of the present utility model, the electrical component 3 can also be a small high-definition camera, which realizes real-time monitoring of the interior of the refrigerator through the perspective of the storage rack 2.

[0041] As Figure 4 shown, the covering member 5 includes a main covering member 51 and a side covering member 52. The side covering member 52 is hermetically spliced to the side of the main covering member 51. The main covering member 51 is a split and detachable structure, and the electrical component 3 is arranged between the split and detachable parts of the main covering member 51.

[0042] The main covering member 51 and the side covering member 52 form a complete protection structure through hermetic splicing. The electrical component 3 is arranged inside the main covering member 51, and the conductive structural member 31 is arranged inside the side covering member 52. The main covering member 51 is designed according to the shape and size of the storage board, presenting a box-shaped or groove-shaped structure for accommodating and protecting the electrical component 3.

[0043] The main covering member 51 can be made of high-strength plastic or metal materials, having good mechanical strength and durability, while ensuring that the internal electrical component 3 is not affected by the external environment. The side covering member 52 is matched with the side of the main covering member 51. The size and shape of the side covering member 52 are designed according to the structure of the main covering member 51 to ensure that the two can be closely spliced. The side covering member 52 and the main covering member 51 adopt the same or similar high-strength materials to ensure the unity and reliability of the overall structure.

[0044] The main covering member 51 and the side covering member 52 are connected through hermetic splicing, and can adopt methods such as snap connection, embedding or bonding to ensure the close combination and sealing between the two.

[0045] At the splicing joint, a sealing strip or sealant can also be used to prevent dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the interior of the covering member 5, protecting the internal electrical components 3 and the conductive structural members 31.

[0046] The main covering member 51 and the side covering member 52 are spliced to form a closed cavity. The part of the closed cavity located between the electrical component 3 and the storage board is made of a transparent material. The side covering member 52 and the main covering member 51 are spliced to form a closed cavity, ensuring that the electrical component 3 is in a relatively enclosed and protected environment. The transparent material part is located at the top or the front side of the closed cavity, adjacent to the storage board, ensuring that light can pass through the transparent material part to illuminate the items on the storage rack. The transparent material part can be made of materials with high transparency and durability, such as polycarbonate, acrylic, or tempered glass, to ensure good optical performance and mechanical strength.

[0047] Such as Figure 5 As shown, the main covering member 51 includes a first split member 511 and a second split member 512, and the electrical component 3 is disposed at the joint where the first split member 511 and the second split member 512 are joined.

[0048] The electrical component 3 (such as a light strip) is disposed at the joint where the first split member 511 and the second split member 512 are joined. The first split member 511 is open, and a dedicated installation position for the light strip is designed. The light strip is connected to the conductive sheet as a whole through a conductive connector (conductive wire, metal conductive sheet, spring pin, etc.). The entire light strip is installed from the open end to the front end of the main covering member 51. After installation and fixation, the second split member 512 is fixedly installed with the first split member 511 by mechanical buckles or chemical bonding to form a sealed space and limit the movement of the light strip in the front-back direction.

[0049] The first split member 511 and the second split member 512 of the main covering member 51 are connected by a sealed splicing. The splicing can adopt methods such as buckles, embedding, or bonding to ensure the tight combination and sealing between the two. Through the split and detachable structure design, the installation and maintenance of the light strip become more convenient. The split design of the main covering member 51 simplifies the installation and replacement process of the light strip, while ensuring the reliable protection of the internal electrical component 3.

[0050] In other embodiments of the present utility model, other numbers of split members can also be provided. The design of multiple split members can adopt a modular method and be combined and configured according to actual needs. For example, it can be designed as three split members or four split members, and each module has its specific function and installation position. The modular design not only improves the flexibility of installation but also can be customized according to specific requirements to meet the needs of different users.

[0051] The first split part 511 is provided with a first positioning structure part 5111, the second split part 512 is provided with a second positioning structure part 5121, the first positioning structure part 5111 and the second positioning structure part 5121 are combined to form a positioning structure part, and the positioning structure part forms a groove for accommodating the electrical component 3, and the electrical component 3 is fixedly accommodated in the groove of the positioning structure part.

[0052] The first positioning structure part 5111 and the second positioning structure part 5121 are presented as baffle structures protruding from the surface of the split part on the upper and lower sides. After the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure are spliced, the area between the baffles constitutes a groove for accommodating the electrical component 3. The size and shape of the groove are adjusted according to the specifications of the electrical component 3 to ensure that it can be firmly embedded therein. The baffle structure can effectively protect the electrical component 3 from the influence of the external environment.

[0053] The positioning structure part can also be set as a groove structure or the like for snapping the electrical component 3 into it.

[0054] Snap fasteners, card slots or elastic clamping structures can be designed inside the groove for further fixing the electrical component 3 to prevent it from moving or falling off during use.

[0055] The covering part 5 is provided with water leakage holes at the bottom. By designing the water leakage holes at the bottom, moisture can be naturally discharged to avoid accumulation inside the covering part 5. According to the size and internal structure of the covering part 5, one or more water leakage holes can be provided. Multiple water leakage holes can improve the drainage efficiency and ensure that there is no water accumulation inside the covering part 5.

[0056] The electrical component 3 is connected with a conductive structure part 31, and the side covering part 52 exposes the conductive structure part 31. The refrigerator further includes a power supply part, and the power supply part is electrically connected to the power source and the conductive structure part 31.

[0057] The conductive structure part 31 includes a conductive sheet and a connecting member connecting the conductive sheet and the electrical component 3.

[0058] The conductive sheet is made of a highly conductive metal material such as copper, aluminum, silver-plated copper, etc. The shape and size of the conductive sheet are designed according to the installation requirements and can be in the shape of a flat plate, a strip or other suitable shapes. One end of the conductive sheet is electrically connected to the power supply part, and the other end is connected to the electrical component 3 through a connecting member.

[0059] The connecting member is used to connect the conductive sheet and the electrical component 3 to ensure efficient transmission of electrical energy. The connecting member can be a conducting wire, a metal conductive sheet, a spring pin, etc., and the specific selection depends on the connection method between the electrical component 3 and the conductive sheet.

[0060] For example, an electrical component 3 and a conductive structural member 31 can be electrically connected through an elastic conductive connecting member. The conductive structural member 31 is arranged on the side of the covering member 5 and is made of a highly conductive metal material such as copper or silver-plated copper alloy. The elastic conductive connecting member presses the electrical component 3 and the conductive structural member 31 tightly through its own elastic force to ensure good electrical contact at all times. Whether during installation or use, the elastic conductive connecting member can automatically adjust its position to adapt to small displacements and vibrations, preventing poor contact or disconnection. The elastic conductive connecting member can adapt to changes in different installation environments and usage conditions, such as temperature changes and mechanical vibrations. In a compressed state, the elastic conductive connecting member can automatically adapt to these changes, maintain stable electrical contact, and ensure the normal operation of the electrical component 3.

[0061] Moreover, the design of the elastic conductive connecting member can reduce wear caused by long-term use. The elastic force of the spring can ensure that the contact surface always maintains an appropriate pressure, reducing friction and wear on the contact surface and extending the service life of the electrical connection.

[0062] The side covering member 52 is provided with a window area 521, and the window area 521 exposes the conductive sheet. The side covering member 52 is provided with a window area 521 at an appropriate position. The shape and size of the window area 521 are designed according to the size and position of the conductive sheet to ensure that the conductive sheet can be exposed through the window area 521.

[0063] The structure of the power supply unit in this embodiment will be further described below.

[0064] Such as Figure 6 , Figure 7a and Figure 7b As shown, the refrigerator further includes a power supply unit 4, and the power supply unit 4 is arranged outside the inner liner 1. The inner liner 1 is provided with a first through hole, and the power supply unit 4 is provided with a power supply extension member 41. The power supply extension member 41 is connected to a power source and passes through the first through hole to form an electrical contact with the electrical component 3.

[0065] In this embodiment, a positive elastic conductive connecting member and a negative elastic conductive connecting member are respectively arranged at both ends of the electrical component 3, and a positive conductive structural member 31 and a negative conductive structural member 31 are respectively arranged on both sides of the covering member 5. Arranging positive and negative elastic conductive connecting members at both ends provides multiple-point electrical contact, ensuring the stability and efficiency of power transmission, and is suitable for electrical components 3 that are long or require high current.

[0066] In another embodiment of the present utility model, a positive elastic conductive connector and a negative elastic conductive connector are arranged in parallel at one end of the electrical component 3, and a positive conductive structure member 31 and a negative conductive structure member 31 are correspondingly arranged on one side of the covering member 5. The positive elastic conductive connector and the negative elastic conductive connector are integrated at one end of the light strip and arranged in parallel, which is convenient for centralized connection.

[0067] A first through hole is provided on the side wall of the inner container for the conductive extension member to pass through its area and connect with the internal electrical component 3.

[0068] The conductive extension member is made of a metal material with high conductivity, such as copper or silver-plated copper alloy, which has excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring efficient and lasting electrical energy transmission in the applicable environment of the refrigerator.

[0069] The power supply unit 4 further includes a housing 42, the housing 42 accommodates the power supply extension member 41, the housing 42 is installed on the outer side of the inner container 1, and is provided with a second through hole matching the first through hole. The power supply extension member 41 passes through the second through hole and the first through hole to form an electrical contact with the electrical component 3.

[0070] The housing 42 can protect and fix the power supply extension member 41, and ensure the stability and safety of electrical energy transmission. The housing 42 can be fixed on the outer wall of the inner container 1 by gluing, buckling or other fixing devices to ensure its firmness and reliability. The housing 42 is provided with a second through hole matching the first through hole of the inner container 1 for the power supply extension member 41 to pass through the housing 42 and the inner container 1 to connect with the internal electrical component 3. In order to prevent cold air leakage and external moisture from entering, a sealing ring or gasket and other structures can be designed at the connection between the second through hole and the first through hole to ensure good sealing performance of the through hole after the power supply extension member 41 passes through. The housing 42 accommodates the power supply extension member 41 to provide physical protection to prevent the power supply extension member 41 from being affected by the external environment, such as dust, moisture, collision, etc. The housing 42 provides a stable support platform for the power supply extension member 41 to maintain a reliable connection between the power supply extension member 41 and the electrical component 3.

[0071] The power supply extension member 41 is an elastic structure member and can move telescopically along the second through hole and the first through hole.

[0072] The power supply extension 41 is designed as an elastic structural member, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of electrical contact. During the use of the refrigerator, it may be slightly vibrated and displaced. The elastic structural member can adapt to these changes through its own telescopic movement, maintain the stable contact between the power supply extension 41 and the electrical component 3, and prevent poor contact or disconnection. And when the position of the storage rack 2 or the electrical component 3 changes slightly, the elastic structural member can also automatically adjust its position to ensure good electrical contact at all times. In the internal environment of the refrigerator, temperature changes may cause thermal expansion and contraction of materials. The elastic structural member can automatically adapt to these changes, maintain the stability of electrical contact, and prevent poor contact caused by temperature changes.

[0073] The elastic structural member can also absorb and buffer the impact force applied externally, preventing the power supply extension 41 and the electrical component 3 from being damaged by external forces. Especially during handling or use, the buffering effect of the elastic structural member can effectively protect the integrity of the electrical connection.

[0074] Moreover, since the elastic structural member can freely expand and contract within a certain range, precise alignment is not required during installation. Just roughly insert the power supply extension 41 into the through hole, and the elastic structural member will automatically adjust to the appropriate position, simplifying the installation process and improving the installation efficiency.

[0075] As Figure 8 shown, the power supply extension 41 includes an elastic device 411 and a contact member 412 that abuts against the elastic device 411. The elastic device 411 controls the contact member 412 to telescopically move along the through hole. The elastic device 411 is a spring. The power supply extension 41 is formed with a cavity for accommodating the spring. The end of the spring is connected to the power cord, and the top end of the spring extends into the cavity and abuts against the contact member 412.

[0076] In this embodiment, the power supply extension 41 is composed of an elastic device 411 and a contact member 412. The elastic device 411 controls the contact member 412 to telescopically move along the through hole to ensure the stability and reliability of electrical contact. One end of the spring is connected to the power cord and fixed by welding or clamping to ensure that electrical energy can be stably transmitted to the spring. The power cord is connected to the power supply system of the refrigerator to provide a stable power input.

[0077] The contact 412 abuts against the top end of the spring and is made of a highly conductive metal material to ensure good electrical conductivity. The shape of the contact 412 can be cylindrical, flat or other suitable shapes to adapt to different installation environments and usage requirements. In this embodiment, the contact 412 is a hollow cylindrical structure, which forms a cavity for accommodating the spring. The top end of the spring extends into the cavity and abuts against the contact 412. The spring presses the contact 412 against the electrical component 3 through its own elastic force to ensure good electrical contact at all times.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to ensure that the power supply extension 41 can be in direct contact with the conductive structure 31 on the side of the electrical component 3, a margin of 2 mm needs to be left on both the left and right sides of the placement board 21. If the installation position of the placement board 21 is inaccurate, it may occur that one side is 0 mm and the other side is 4 mm. To ensure normal use, the power supply extension 41 should extend at least 16 mm out of the inner tank without being squeezed by the storage rack 2.

[0079] The elastic device 411 in the power supply extension 41 is in direct contact with the contact 412. Therefore, the position where the inner cavity of the contact 412 contacts the spring is designed as a plane, and the spring is sleeved in the cavity of the contact 412. When the contact 412 is not squeezed, the spring should at least maintain a pre-compression state of 10%, pressing the contact 412 against the limiting surface in the housing 42. The movement stroke of the contact 412 is 6 mm, and the maximum compression amount of a normal round wire spring is 40% of its total height. According to this data, the spring height is set to at least 20 mm to meet the usage requirements.

[0080] Through the above design, the power supply extension 41 can provide stable and reliable electrical contact during the actual use of the refrigerator, ensuring the normal operation of the electrical component 3 inside the refrigerator.

[0081] A guiding rib 421 is provided in the housing 42, and the guiding rib 421 faces the second through hole. The spring is sleeved on the guiding rib 421. A guiding groove 422 is provided in the housing 42, and the contact 412 is arranged in the guiding groove 422, abuts against the guiding groove 422, and moves along the guiding groove 422.

[0082] The guide rib 421 is arranged inside the housing 42, and is a slender columnar structure. The cross section can be circular, square or other shapes, facing the second through hole, and the length of the guide rib 421 is designed according to the size of the housing 42 and the length of the spring. The guide rib 421 guides the spring to move along a predetermined path to ensure that the spring does not deviate from the direction during the expansion and contraction process. By providing the guide rib 421, the spring always remains in the correct position during compression and extension to avoid bending or jamming. The guide rib 421 can provide a fixed support, so that the spring is not prone to lateral deformation when subjected to force. This ensures that the elastic force of the spring always acts in the correct direction and ensures the stability of the electrical contact.

[0083] The guide groove 422 is arranged inside the housing 42 and is located on the path of the contact 412. The specific position of the guide groove 422 can be designed according to the design of the housing 42 and the movement trajectory of the contact 412, and the shape of the guide groove 422 matches the shape of the contact 412. The guide groove 422 provides a precise movement path, and the contact 412 moves along a predetermined trajectory in the guide groove 422 to avoid unstable electrical contact caused by path deviation. Through the guidance of the guide groove 422, the contact 412 can be kept in the correct position at any time. The design of the guide groove 422 can prevent the contact 412 from deviating or getting stuck during the movement.
