[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present utility model and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments 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.

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, the present utility model provides a refrigerator, which includes an inner container 1 and a storage rack 2 installed inside the inner container 1.

[0028] The inner container 1 constitutes the storage space inside the refrigerator, including the bottom, side walls and top cover part, and cooperates with the refrigerator door body to form a sealed cavity as a whole, ensuring that cold air can be evenly distributed in the entire internal space and providing a stable and low-temperature storage environment. The inner container 1 can be made of materials such as high-density plastic or stainless steel. There is also heat-insulating material, such as polyurethane foam, filled between the inner container 1 and the refrigerator outer shell to play a role in heat insulation and heat preservation.

[0029] As Figure 2As shown, the storage rack 2 is the main component in the refrigerator for storing food, and it includes a storage board 21 made of glass, metal or high-strength plastic. The storage rack 2 can be fixed on the inner wall of the inner liner 1 through a card slot or a bracket to provide a stable storage space. The storage rack 2 can also be set as an adjustable structure, which can be moved up and down according to needs to flexibly adjust the height of the storage space and adapt to the storage requirements of different sizes of food. The storage rack 2 reasonably separates and utilizes the internal space of the refrigerator, so that the food is stored in categories, avoiding stacking and chaos, and improving the tidiness and convenience of storage.

[0030] A front trim strip 22 is arranged on the outer side of the storage board 21. The front trim strip 22 can be made of high-strength plastic or metal materials, so as to provide better strength, durability and decorative effect. 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 not easy to loosen.

[0031] 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. On the contrary, 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.

[0032] As Figure 3 As shown, the storage rack 2 includes a storage board 21 and a covering member 5 arranged on the inner side of the storage board 21. An electrical component 3 is arranged in the covering member 5. The electrical component 3 at least includes a light strip. A conductive extension member 4 is arranged on the side of the covering member 5. The electrical component 3 is electrically connected to the conductive extension member 4.

[0033] The electrical component 3 is arranged in the covering member 5, which can enhance the functionality and user experience of the refrigerator. The electrical component 3 includes lamp beads, light strips, 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 beauty of the interior of the refrigerator. For example, when using the refrigerator at night, a warm atmosphere can be created through soft lighting.

[0034] The lighting of traditional refrigerators is mostly concentrated on the top, which is easily blocked by the items on the storage rack 2, resulting in uneven light distribution. Installing a light strip on the storage rack 2 can provide a more uniform light coverage, ensuring sufficient lighting no matter what items are placed on the storage rack 2, and facilitating users to view and take food.

[0035] The light strip 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.

[0036] 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 inside of the refrigerator through the perspective of the storage rack 2.

[0037] As Figures 3 to 6 shown, the refrigerator further includes a power supply unit 6, and the power supply unit 6 is electrically connected to the power source and the conductive extension 4.

[0038] The power supply unit 6 is used to supply power to the electrical component 3 in the storage rack 2. It is connected to the power system of the refrigerator, and transmits electrical energy to the electrical component 3 in the inner liner 1 through the conductive extension 4. The power supply unit 6 is installed outside the inner liner 1, which can effectively avoid occupying the internal space, keep the inside of the refrigerator clean and effectively utilized. At the same time, the external power supply unit 6 is convenient for maintenance and repair and will not interfere with the storage and use inside the refrigerator.

[0039] The conductive extension 4 includes an elastic device 41. The conductive extension 4 has an extended state and a contracted state. When the conductive extension 4 is in the extended state, the elastic device 41 extends, and the conductive extension 4 abuts against the power supply unit 6. When the conductive extension 4 is in the contracted state, the elastic device 41 is compressed, and the conductive extension 4 is disengaged from the power supply unit 6.

[0040] In the extended state, the elastic device 41 is in an extended state. The elastic force provided by the elastic device 41 ensures the close contact between the contact member 42 and the power supply unit 6, guarantees the stability of power transmission, thereby reducing the interruption of power transmission caused by looseness or poor contact, and improving the reliability of the electrical component 3. In the contracted state, the conductive extension 4 is disengaged from the power supply unit 6, which is convenient for disassembly, improving the convenience and safety of operation. By controlling the extended and contracted states of the conductive extension 4, users can conveniently install and disassemble the storage rack 2.

[0041] As Figure 7 shown, the covering member 5 includes a positioning member 53. The conductive extension 4 is telescopically arranged in the positioning member 53. The conductive extension 4 is provided with a control block 43, and the positioning member 53 is provided with a first positioning groove 531 and a second positioning groove 532. When the control block 43 is placed in the first positioning groove 531, the conductive extension 4 is in the extended state. When the control block 43 is placed in the second positioning groove 532, the conductive extension 4 is in the contracted state.

[0042] The positioning member 53 is fixed to the side of the covering member 5 and can be made of high-strength plastic or metal material. The positioning member 53 is provided with a through hole 531 for the conductive extension member 4 to expand and contract, thereby forming a guiding structure to limit the movement track of the conductive extension member 4, fix and guide the movement of the conductive extension member 4, and ensure its stable operation during the extension and contraction processes.

[0043] The positioning member 53 is provided with a first positioning groove 531 and a second positioning groove 532 for fixing the position of the control block 43, thereby controlling the state of the conductive extension member 4. The first positioning groove 531 is close to the edge side of the covering member 5, the second positioning groove 532 is far from the edge side of the covering member 5, a communicating sliding groove 533 is arranged between the first positioning groove 531 and the second positioning groove 532, and the control block 43 moves between the first positioning groove 531 and the second positioning groove 532 along the sliding groove 533.

[0044] The first positioning groove 531 and the second positioning groove 532 are connected through the communicating sliding groove 533, and the control block 43 moves between the two positioning grooves along the sliding groove 533. By arranging the positioning member 53 and the control block 43, the user can conveniently control the expansion and contraction state of the conductive extension member 4. When the storage rack 2 needs to be installed or disassembled, the control block 43 is only required to be moved to the corresponding positioning groove, and the state of the conductive extension member 4 can be easily adjusted. Through the structure of the positioning member 53 and the control block 43, the expansion and contraction control of the conductive extension member 4 is simplified, the difficulty of adjustment and replacement is reduced, and the long-term use stability and reliability of the refrigerator are improved.

[0045] When the conductive extension member 4 needs to be in the extended state, the user manually slides the control block 43 to the first positioning groove 531 close to the edge side of the covering member 5. The elastic device 41 extends, and the conductive extension member 4 abuts against the power supply piece 62 of the power supply part 6 to achieve electrical connection. When the conductive extension member 4 needs to be in the contracted state, the user manually slides the control block 43 to the second positioning groove 532 far from the edge side of the covering member 5, the elastic device 41 is compressed, and the conductive extension member 4 is disengaged from the power supply piece 62 of the power supply part 6 to disconnect the electrical connection, so that the storage rack 2 can be disassembled.

[0046] The conductive extension member 4 is designed as an elastic structure, which can not only realize the control of the position of the conductive extension member 4. It can also ensure the stability and reliability of electrical contact. During the use of the refrigerator, it may be slightly vibrated and displaced. The elastic structure member can adapt to these changes through its own expansion and contraction movement, maintain the stable contact between the conductive extension member 4 and the power supply part 6, and prevent poor contact or disconnection. And when the position of the storage rack 2 or the electrical component 3 changes slightly, the conductive extension member 4 can also automatically adjust its position to ensure good electrical contact all the time. In the internal environment of the refrigerator, temperature changes may cause thermal expansion and contraction of materials.

[0047] The conductive extension member 4 includes a contact member 42. The first end of the elastic device 41 is connected to the contact member 42. The positioning member 53 is provided with a through hole 531 for the movement of the contact member 42, and the second end of the elastic device 41 is fixedly connected to the positioning member 53. The elastic device 41 includes a conductive sheet fixedly provided on the positioning member 53 and a spring provided on the conductive sheet.

[0048] The contact member 42 abuts against the top end of the spring and is made of a metal material with high conductivity to ensure good electrical conductivity. The shape of the contact member 42 can be cylindrical, flat or other suitable shapes to adapt to different installation environments and usage requirements. In this embodiment, the contact member 42 is a hollow cylindrical structure, which forms a cavity for accommodating the spring, and the top end of the spring extends into the cavity and abuts against the contact member 42.

[0049] The covering member 5 further includes a main covering member 51 and a side covering member 52. The side covering member 52 is spliced to the side of the main covering member 51. The electrical component 3 is arranged inside the main covering member 51, and the positioning member 53 is spliced to the side of the side covering member 52.

[0050] The main covering member 51, the side covering member 52 and the positioning member 53 are hermetically spliced to form a complete protection structure, and the electrical component 3 is arranged inside the main covering member 51. The main covering member 51 is designed according to the shape and size of the placement plate 21 and presents a box-shaped or groove-shaped structure for accommodating and protecting the electrical component 3. The covering member 5 can be made of high-strength plastic or metal material, 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 cooperates with the side of the main covering member 51, and 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 positioning member 53 is further spliced outside the side covering member 52 to ensure the stability of the conductive extension member 4 during movement and seal the electrical component 3.

[0051] The power supply part 6 includes a housing 61 and a power supply sheet 62 arranged inside the housing 61. When the conductive extension member 4 is in the extended state, it abuts against the power supply sheet 62. The power supply sheet 62 is fixedly arranged inside the housing 61 through a plurality of limiting members or limiting structures.

[0052] The housing 61 of the power supply part 6 can protect the internal power supply sheet 62 from the external environment. The power supply sheet 62 contacts the conductive extension member 4, thereby realizing the transmission of electric energy. The power supply sheet 62 is made of a material with high conductivity, such as copper or silver-plated copper, etc., to ensure the minimum loss during the transmission of electric energy and improve the power supply efficiency. The shape and size of the power supply sheet 62 are designed according to the structure of the conductive extension member 4 to ensure that the two can be closely attached when contacting, realizing a stable electrical connection.

[0053] To ensure the stability of the power supply sheet 62 within the housing 61, the power supply sheet 62 is fixedly arranged within the housing 61 through a plurality of limiting members or limiting structures, so as to maintain its structural stability and normal function during long-term use. In the present embodiment, the power supply sheet 62 is circular, and the limiting structure is a limiting convex structure evenly distributed around the circumference of the power supply sheet 62. In other embodiments, the setting position and quantity of the limiting structure are designed according to the shape and size of the power supply sheet 62 to ensure that the power supply sheet 62 is firmly fixed within the housing 61.

[0054] As Figure 8 shown, an elastic conductive connecting member 32 electrically connects between the electrical component 3 and the conductive extension member 4.

[0055] The elastic conductive connecting member 32 presses the electrical component 3 and the conductive structural member through its own elastic force to ensure good electrical contact is always maintained. Whether during the installation process or the use process, the elastic conductive connecting member 32 can automatically adjust its position to adapt to small displacements and vibrations, preventing poor contact or disconnection. The elastic conductive connecting member 32 can adapt to changes under different installation environments and use conditions, such as temperature changes and mechanical vibrations. In the compressed state, the elastic conductive connecting member 32 can automatically adapt to these changes, maintain stable electrical contact, and ensure the normal operation of the electrical component 3.
