[0050] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0051] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a refrigerator, including a shelf.

[0052] Combined Figure 1-8 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a shelf, including a shelf body 100, a sliding mechanism and a driving module. As Figure 1 shown, the sliding mechanism includes a slide rail 110, and the shelf body 100 can be lifted and lowered along the slide rail 110; the driving module includes a winding wheel 300 and a pulling rope 200, and the pulling rope 200 includes a main rope segment 230, a first rope segment 210 and a second rope segment 220; wherein, the first end of the main rope segment 230 is connected to the winding wheel 300, the first ends of the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220 are both connected to the second end of the main rope segment 230, and the second ends of the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220 are respectively connected to both sides of the shelf body 100; and, when the winding wheel 300 rotates, it winds or releases the main rope segment 230, and further synchronously pulls the shelf body 100 to lift or lower through the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the winding wheel 300 rotates and winds the main rope segment 230, the effective length of the main rope segment 230 is shortened. The effective length refers to the length of the non-wound part of the main rope segment 230. When the main rope segment 230 is shortened, the shelf body 100 is synchronously pulled along the slide rail 110 through the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220 to rise. When the winding wheel 300 rotates and releases the main rope segment 230, the effective length of the main rope segment 230 is extended. When the main rope segment 230 is extended, the shelf body 100 slides downward along the slide rail 110 under the action of gravity. Here, the pulling rope 200 adopts a three-section structure, with the main rope segment 230 as the core, and the winding wheel 300 can wind multiple turns of the main rope segment 230, thereby increasing the moving distance of the shelf body 100. The first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220 are used as two branches to synchronously pull the shelf body 100, thereby improving the stability of the lifting and lowering of the shelf body 100.

[0054] Optionally, asFigure 2 As shown, the first rope segment 210 is connected to the first side of the shelf body 100 through the first fixed pulley 310, and the second rope segment 220 is connected to the second side of the shelf body 100 through the second fixed pulley 320; moreover, the mounting heights of the first fixed pulley 310 and the second fixed pulley 320 are the same.

[0055] In this embodiment, since the mounting heights of the two fixed pulleys are the same, it can ensure that the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220 maintain the same tension when pulling the shelf body 100, which is beneficial to avoiding the inclination or shaking of the shelf body 100 caused by uneven rope segment tension. Moreover, since the fixed pulley can smoothly guide the movement of the rope segment, the resistance and friction of the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220 during the lifting and lowering process are reduced, which is beneficial to improving the lifting efficiency of the shelf body 100.

[0056] Optionally, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the winding wheel 300 is arranged above the middle of the first fixed pulley 310 and the second fixed pulley 320, so that the main rope segment 230, the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220 form an inverted Y shape.

[0057] In this embodiment, the layout of the shelf is, from top to bottom in sequence: the winding wheel 300, the first fixed pulley 310 and the second fixed pulley 320 with the same height, the shelf body 100. Moreover, the winding wheel 300 is arranged above the middle of the first fixed pulley 310 and the second fixed pulley 320, having a certain symmetry, so that the tension of the main rope segment 230 can be evenly transmitted to the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220. Moreover, the inverted Y-shaped layout is relatively reasonable, reducing the bending and crossing of the pulling rope 200.

[0058] Optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the winding wheel 300 is arranged below the middle of the first fixed pulley 310 and the second fixed pulley 320, so that the main rope segment 230, the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220 form an upright Y shape.

[0059] In this embodiment, the layout of the shelf is, from top to bottom in sequence: the first fixed pulley 310 and the second fixed pulley 320 with the same height, the winding wheel 300, the shelf body 100; or, the first fixed pulley 310 and the second fixed pulley 320 with the same height, the shelf body 100, the winding wheel 300; moreover, the winding wheel 300 is arranged below the middle of the first fixed pulley 310 and the second fixed pulley 320, having a certain symmetry, so that the tension of the main rope segment 230 can be evenly transmitted to the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220. Moreover, the upright Y-shaped layout is relatively reasonable, reducing the bending and crossing of the pulling rope 200.

[0060] Optionally, the lengths of the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220 are the same. Here, the design of the same length ensures the synchronization of the lifting of the shelf body 100 and prevents the shelf body 100 from tilting.

[0061] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, the included angle formed by the first rope segment 210 around the first fixed pulley 310 is α1, and the included angle formed by the second rope segment 220 around the second fixed pulley 320 is α2, and α1 = α2.

[0062] In this embodiment, since the two included angles are equal, the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220 present a symmetric layout after bypassing the corresponding fixed pulleys, which is beneficial to ensuring that the pulling forces on both sides of the shelf body 100 are balanced during the lifting process. If the included angles of the two rope segments are not equal, it may cause the shelf body 100 to be subjected to eccentric loading, that is, the force on one side is greater than the force on the other side. And equal included angles can effectively reduce this eccentric loading phenomenon and improve the stability and safety of the shelf.

[0063] Optionally, the included angle formed by the first rope segment 210 around the first fixed pulley 310 is α1, and 45° ≤ α1 ≤ 135°.

[0064] Here, the value of α1 can be selected from 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, 120°, 125°, 130° or 135°.

[0065] Exemplarily, the winding wheel 300 is arranged below the first fixed pulley 310, and the first rope segment 210 bypasses the first fixed pulley 310 from bottom to top, and α1 = 45°.

[0066] Another exemplarily, the winding wheel 300 is arranged above the first fixed pulley 310, and the first rope segment 210 bypasses the first fixed pulley 310 from top to bottom, and α1 = 135°.

[0067] Optionally, the included angle formed by the second rope segment 220 around the second fixed pulley 320 is α2, and 45° ≤ α2 ≤ 135°.

[0068] Here, the value of α2 can be selected from 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, 120°, 125°, 130° or 135°.

[0069] Exemplarily, the winding wheel 300 is arranged below the first fixed pulley 310, and the second rope segment 220 bypasses the second fixed pulley 320 from bottom to top, and α2 = 45°.

[0070] Another example is that the winding wheel 300 is arranged above the second fixed pulley 320, and the second rope segment 220 bypasses the second fixed pulley 320 from top to bottom, and α2 = 135°.

[0071] Optionally, as Figure 3 shown, a third fixed pulley 330 is provided between the first end of the first rope segment 210 and the first fixed pulley 310, and a fourth fixed pulley 340 is provided between the first end of the second rope segment 220 and the second fixed pulley 320; and, the installation heights of the third fixed pulley 330 and the fourth fixed pulley 340 are the same.

[0072] In this embodiment, adding the third fixed pulley 330 and the fourth fixed pulley 340 can further disperse the tension on the corresponding rope segments. When the rope segments bypass the corresponding fixed pulleys, the tension will be transmitted between multiple pulleys, which helps to reduce the tension borne by a single pulley or rope segment, thereby improving the stability and safety of the system. And, the main function of the fixed pulley is to change the direction of the force. By adding the third fixed pulley 330 and the fourth fixed pulley 340, the direction of the rope segments can be adjusted more flexibly, which is beneficial to meeting specific layout requirements.

[0073] Exemplarily, as Figure 4 shown, the winding wheel 300 is arranged below the first fixed pulley 310, and the arrangement height of the third fixed pulley 330 is below the first fixed pulley 310 and above the winding wheel 300. In this way, the first rope segment 210 first bypasses the third fixed pulley 330 from bottom to top, and then bypasses the first fixed pulley 310 from bottom to top, and then is connected to the first side of the shelf body 100.

[0074] Another example is that the winding wheel 300 is arranged above the first fixed pulley 310, and the arrangement height of the third fixed pulley 330 is above the first fixed pulley 310 and below the winding wheel 300. In this way, the first rope segment 210 first bypasses the third fixed pulley 330 from top to bottom, and then bypasses the first fixed pulley 310 from top to bottom, and then is connected to the first side of the shelf body 100.

[0075] Optionally, the two slide rails 110 are arranged in parallel, and both sides of the shelf body 100 are respectively connected to the slide rails 110 through a slider 120, and a movable pulley 130 is provided on each of the two sliders 120; and, the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220 are respectively connected to both sides of the shelf body 100 through the corresponding movable pulleys 130.

[0076] In this embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, the first rope segment 210 is connected to the corresponding slider 120 through the corresponding movable pulley 130, and the second rope segment 220 is connected to the corresponding slider 120 through the corresponding movable pulley 130. In this way, when the main rope segment 230 is wound around the wire reel 300, the two movable pulleys 130 move upward along the corresponding rope segments respectively, thereby driving the shelf body 100 to rise. Moreover, due to the force-saving characteristic of the movable pulley 130, the motor 240 can drive the movement of the shelf body 100 with a smaller driving force, which is beneficial to reducing the torque of the motor 240.

[0077] Combined with Figure 1-8 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a storage rack, including a shelf body 100, a sliding mechanism, a driving module and an overweight module. As Figure 5 shown, the sliding mechanism includes a slide rail 110, and the shelf body 100 can be lifted and lowered along the slide rail 110; the driving module includes a motor 240 and a pull rope 200, and the motor 240 drives the shelf body 100 to lift and lower through the pull rope 200; the overweight module includes a controller and a tension sensor 400, and the controller is electrically connected to the tension sensor 400 and the motor 240; the tension sensor 400 is used to detect the load-bearing tension of the pull rope 200, and the controller is configured to control the start and stop of the motor 240 according to the load-bearing tension.

[0078] In this embodiment, the shelf body 100 is lifted and lowered by the motor 240 and the pull rope 200, the load-bearing tension of the pull rope 200 is monitored in real time by the tension sensor 400, and the controller controls the start and stop of the motor 240 according to the load-bearing tension. In this way, it is possible to monitor whether the shelf body 100 is overweight, effectively prevent the motor 240 from overloading, avoid excessive wear and damage of the motor 240 and the transmission components, and ensure the safety and stability of the lifting of the shelf body 100. Here, the layout of the motor 240 and the pull rope 200 is not specifically limited.

[0079] Optionally, as Figure 5 shown, the side of the shelf body 100 is connected to the slide rail 110 through a slider 120, and a movable pulley 130 is provided on the slider 120; the pull rope 200 is connected to the shelf body 100 through the movable pulley 130; moreover, the motor 240 drives the movable pulley 130 to move through the pull rope 200, and then the movable pulley 130 drives the shelf body 100 to lift and lower through the slider 120. In this way, due to the force-saving characteristic of the movable pulley 130, the motor 240 can drive the movement of the shelf body 100 with a smaller driving force, which is beneficial to reducing the torque of the motor 240.

[0080] Optionally, the driving module further includes a wire reel 300, and the motor 240 is used to drive the wire reel 300 to rotate; moreover, the first end of the pull rope 200 is connected to the wire reel 300, and the second end bypasses the movable pulley 130 from bottom to top and is fixed.

[0081] In this embodiment, when the winding wheel 300 winds the pulling rope 200, the effective length of the pulling rope 200 is shortened. When the pulling rope 200 is shortened, it drives the movable pulley 130 to move upward along the pulling rope 200, and then the movable pulley 130 drives the shelf body 100 to rise through the slider 120.

[0082] Optionally, as Figure 6 shown, the tension sensor 400 is arranged in the middle of the pulling rope 200 and is located between the winding wheel 300 and the movable pulley 130.

[0083] In this embodiment, the tension sensor 400 is placed in the middle of the pulling rope 200, and when the length of the pulling rope 200 changes, the tension sensor 400 moves synchronously. The tension sensor 400 measures the load tension borne by the pulling rope 200, and then transmits the load tension to the controller.

[0084] Optionally, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the tension sensor 400 is arranged at the second end of the pulling rope 200, and the second end of the pulling rope 200 is fixed through the tension sensor 400.

[0085] In this embodiment, the tension sensor 400 is arranged at the second end of the pulling rope 200 and is fixedly arranged. When the length of the pulling rope 200 changes, the tension sensor 400 does not move. In this way, the tension sensor 400 is relatively stable and is not easily affected by vibration and impact, which is beneficial to maintaining the stability and accuracy of the measurement results.

[0086] Optionally, the controller is configured to control the motor 240 to stop when the load tension is greater than the preset tension.

[0087] In this embodiment, the tension sensor 400 transmits the tension signal to the controller, and the controller compares the received load tension with the preset tension. When the load tension is greater than the preset tension, it means that the load on the shelf body 100 is too heavy. At this time, the controller controls the motor 240 to stop, and the shelf body 100 stops lifting and lowering. After removing some items on the shelf body 100 and making the load tension less than or equal to the preset tension. At this time, the controller controls the motor 240 to start, and the shelf body 100 can continue to lift and lower.

[0088] Optionally, the controller is configured to convert the load tension into the load weight, and control the motor 240 to stop when the load weight is greater than the preset weight.

[0089] In this embodiment, the tension sensor 400 transmits the tension signal to the controller. The controller converts the tension signal into a weight signal based on an internal algorithm and further compares the load weight with a preset weight. When the load weight is greater than the preset weight, it means that the load-bearing capacity of the shelf body 100 is overloaded. At this time, the controller controls the motor 240 to stop, and the shelf body 100 stops lifting. By removing some items on the shelf body 100 and making the load weight less than or equal to the preset weight. At this time, the controller controls the motor 240 to start, and the shelf body 100 can continue to lift.

[0090] Optionally, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the two slide rails 110 are arranged in parallel. Both sides of the shelf body 100 are respectively connected to the slide rails 110 through a slider 120, and a movable pulley 130 is provided on each of the two sliders 120; the pulling rope 200 includes a first rope segment 210 and a second rope segment 220, and the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220 are respectively connected to both sides of the shelf body 100 through the corresponding movable pulleys 130. The overweight module includes two tension sensors 400, which are respectively used to detect the load tensions of the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220; and, the controller is configured to: control the motor 240 to stop when the difference between the two load tensions is greater than a preset threshold.

[0091] In this embodiment, by using two tension sensors 400 to respectively detect the load tensions of the first rope segment 210 and the second rope segment 220, the balance state of the shelf body 100 during the lifting process can be grasped in real time. The load tension of the first rope segment 210 is denoted as the first tension, and the load tension of the second rope segment 220 is denoted as the second tension. When the difference between the first tension and the second tension is greater than a preset threshold, it means that the shelf body 100 has tilted or there is a risk of tilting. At this time, the controller controls the motor 240 to stop, and the shelf body 100 stops lifting. By removing or adjusting the position of the items on the shelf body 100 and making the difference between the first tension and the second tension less than or equal to the preset threshold. At this time, the controller controls the motor 240 to start, and the shelf body 100 can continue to lift.

[0092] Optionally, the overweight module further includes an alarm. The alarm is electrically connected to the controller and is used to issue an alarm.

[0093] In this embodiment, when the load tension is greater than the preset gravity, or when the load weight is greater than the preset weight, or when the difference between the two load tensions is greater than the preset threshold, the controller controls the alarm to issue an alarm, thereby reminding the user that the shelf body 100 is overweight or the shelf body 100 is tilted.

[0094] In this embodiment, the refrigerator has a box body, and a shelf is arranged inside the box body. The upper part of the shelf body 100 is used for placing items. Moreover, once the shelf body 100 is out of position, it can be timely detected through the anti-tipping mechanism composed of microswitches, so as to further operate on the shelf. In this way, it is beneficial to protect the safety of the items in the refrigerator and reduce unnecessary losses.
