[0033] In order to increase the storage space inside the refrigerator and improve the space utilization rate of the refrigerator, a hanging rack can be provided on the inner liner of the refrigerator. A shelf or a support frame can be connected to the hanging rack, and items are placed on the shelf or the support frame. In the prior art, there are some problems with the design of the hanging rack. For example, the hanging rack is fixed to the inner liner of the refrigerator through multiple reinforcing parts. However, each reinforcing part may have tolerances during production, resulting in cumulative tolerances in the assembly of multiple reinforcing parts with the inner liner of the refrigerator, causing the hanging rack assembly to be unstable and firm enough, and the load-bearing capacity is insufficient. Therefore, in order to solve at least one of the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, the present utility model provides a refrigerator hanging rack assembly and a refrigerator.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 5 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a refrigerator hanging rack assembly, which cooperates with the inner liner 1 of the refrigerator; the inner liner 1 of the refrigerator includes opposite inner walls and outer walls; the inner wall faces the storage cavity; the outer wall faces the refrigerator housing; the hanging rack assembly includes a reinforcing part 2, a hanging rack 3 and a fastening part 4: the reinforcing part 2 has an installation part 21 and a reinforcing part 22; the reinforcing part 2 is longitudinally fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner liner 1 of the refrigerator through the installation part 21; the reinforcing part 22 is embedded between the outer wall of the inner liner 1 of the refrigerator and the refrigerator housing; the hanging rack 3 is longitudinally fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the inner liner 1 of the refrigerator through the fastening part 4; the position of the hanging rack 3 corresponds to the height of the reinforcing part 2; the fastening part 4 passes through the preset positions of the hanging rack 3, the inner liner 1 of the refrigerator and the reinforcing part 2.

[0035] In a specific implementation, the refrigerator body has a housing and an inner liner. The refrigerator housing wraps the inner liner 1 of the refrigerator. The inner liner 1 of the refrigerator forms a storage cavity for storing items. The storage cavity is a refrigerating space or a freezing space. The refrigerator further includes a door body, and the door body is pivotally arranged on the body to open or close the storage cavity. The inner liner 1 of the refrigerator includes opposite inner walls and outer walls, wherein the inner wall faces the storage cavity and the outer wall faces the refrigerator housing.

[0036] The hanging rack assembly is connected to the inner liner 1 of the refrigerator. The hanging rack assembly includes a reinforcing part 2, a hanging rack 3 and a fastening part 4. The reinforcing part 2 has an installation part 21 and a reinforcing part 22. In the embodiment of the present utility model, multiple reinforcing parts 2 for reinforcing one hanging rack 3 in the prior art are changed to an integral reinforcing part 2, which can eliminate the cumulative tolerances brought by the multiple reinforcing parts 2.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , the reinforcing part 2 is a long strip structure and is longitudinally fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner liner 1 of the refrigerator. The reinforcing part 2 has an installation part 21 and a reinforcing part 22. The installation part 21 is used to fixedly connect the reinforcing part 2 to the inner liner 1 of the refrigerator. The fixed connection method can be bonding or connection by the fastening part 4, which is not limited herein.

[0038] Before installing the reinforcing part 2, positioning can also be performed with the inner liner 1 of the refrigerator through the installation part 21. Reference Figure 2, In a possible way, the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1 has first positioning bumps 11; the installation part 21 of the reinforcing member 2 is provided with first positioning holes 23; the first positioning bumps 11 pass through the first positioning holes 23 so that the reinforcing member 2 is positioned on the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1.

[0039] Specifically, the installation position of the reinforcing member 2 relative to the refrigerator inner liner 1 is determined in advance, and the first positioning bumps 11 are involved at the installation position. The size and quantity of the first positioning bumps 11 are not limited in the embodiments of the present invention. Exemplarily, a first positioning bump 11 is designed at the positions of the top and bottom of the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1 relative to the reinforcing member 2 respectively. Then, a first positioning hole 23 corresponding to the first positioning bump 11 is opened in the installation part 21 of the reinforcing member 2. When installing the reinforcing member 2, the first positioning bump 11 passes through the first positioning hole 23 to position the position of the reinforcing member 2 relative to the refrigerator inner liner 1.

[0040] The reinforcing part 22 of the reinforcing member 2 is embedded between the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1 and the refrigerator housing. In a possible implementation manner, a foaming layer is filled between the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1 and the refrigerator housing; the reinforcing part 22 of the reinforcing member 2 is embedded in the foaming layer. Specifically, a foaming space is defined between the refrigerator inner liner 1 and the refrigerator housing, and the foaming layer is formed by foaming the foaming space. First, the reinforcing part 22 of the reinforcing member 2 is assembled in the foaming space, and then the foaming space is foamed to embed the reinforcing part 22 in the foaming layer. In this way, the force-bearing condition can be transmitted from the inner liner to the foaming layer, improving the stability of the hanging bracket 3.

[0041] In a possible implementation manner, the reinforcing part 22 of the reinforcing member 2 is a flanging structure at a preset angle with the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1; the reinforcing part 22 extends a preset length towards the foaming layer.

[0042] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , the reinforcing part 22 is provided with a plurality of flanging structures in the longitudinal direction. Each flanging structure does not contact the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1. Each flanging structure is a flanging structure at a preset angle with the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1. Exemplarily, the preset angle is ninety degrees. Considering the mutual influence of other components in the actual production process, the preset angle of the flanging structure can be designed as other angles, which are not limited herein. In order to be embedded in the foaming layer, the flanging structure of the reinforcing part 22 extends a preset length towards the foaming layer. The preset length can be determined according to the thickness of the foaming layer or other factors, which are not limited herein. Exemplarily, the preset length is 5 centimeters.

[0043] Continuing to refer to Figure 3 , in a possible implementation manner, the side edge of the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1 has a rounded corner structure; there is an arc structure matching the rounded corner structure between the installation part 21 and the reinforcing part 22 of the reinforcing member 2.

[0044] Specifically, the reinforcing member 2 is arranged at the side edge of the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1. The installation part 21 and the reinforcing part 22 of the reinforcing member 2 semi-surround the side edge of the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1, that is, the installation part 21 of the reinforcing member 2 is located on one side surface of the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1, and the reinforcing part 22 is located on another adjacent side surface of the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1. If the side edge of the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1 has a rounded corner structure, then there is an arc structure matching the rounded corner structure between the installation part 21 and the reinforcing part 22 of the reinforcing member 2, so that the reinforcing member 2 fits perfectly with the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1, enhancing the firmness and stability of the hanger assembly.

[0045] Consistent with the reinforcing member 2, the hanger 3 is also longitudinally installed on the refrigerator inner liner 1. The hanger 3 is longitudinally fixed to the inner wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1 through the fastener 4, and the position height of the hanger 3 corresponds to that of the reinforcing member 2. Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the fastener 4 passes through the preset positions of the hanger 3, the refrigerator inner liner 1 and the reinforcing member 2, so that the hanger 3, the refrigerator inner liner 1 and the reinforcing member 2 are fixedly connected.

[0046] In a possible implementation manner, the fastener 4 is a fastening screw; screw holes are opened at the preset positions at the upper end and the lower end of the hanger 3; the fastening screw passes through the screw holes and passes through the refrigerator inner liner 1 and the installation part 21 of the reinforcing member 2.

[0047] Specifically, the fastener 4 is a fastening screw, the length of the fastening screw can pass through the hanger 3, the refrigerator inner liner 1 and the reinforcing member 2. Screw holes are opened at the preset positions at the upper end and the lower end of the hanger 3, and screw holes are also opened at the corresponding positions of the refrigerator inner liner 1 and the corresponding positions of the installation part 21 of the reinforcing member 2. The fastening screw passes through the screw holes and passes through the refrigerator inner liner 1 and the installation part 21 of the reinforcing member 2, so that the hanger 3 is fixed to the refrigerator inner liner 1, and the reinforcing member 2 plays a role in strengthening and stabilizing.

[0048] In a possible implementation manner, the number of screw holes opened at the upper end of the hanger 3 is greater than the number of screw holes opened at the lower end of the hanger 3.

[0049] Specifically, when a shelf is arranged on the hanger 3 and items are placed, due to the influence of the downward gravity of the items, the upper end of the hanger 3 is prone to looseness. Therefore, the number of screw holes opened at the upper end of the hanger 3 is greater than the number of screw holes opened at the lower end of the hanger 3. Exemplarily, two screw holes are opened at the upper end of the hanger 3, and one screw hole is opened at the lower end of the hanger 3. In this way, there will be more pulling force at the upper end of the hanger 3 to counteract the gravity of the items, making the load-bearing capacity of the hanger 3 stronger.

[0050] Before installing the hanger 3, it can also be pre-positioned with the refrigerator inner liner 1. Refer to Figure 5, in a possible implementation, the inner wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1 has second positioning bumps 12; the hanging rack 3 is provided with second positioning holes (not shown in the figure); the second positioning bumps 12 are inserted through the second positioning holes so that the hanging rack 3 is positioned on the inner wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1.

[0051] Specifically, the installation position of the hanging rack 3 relative to the refrigerator inner liner 1 is determined in advance, and the second positioning bumps 12 are involved at the installation position. The size and quantity of the second positioning bumps 12 are not limited in the embodiments of the present invention. Exemplarily, one second positioning bump 12 is designed at the positions on the inner wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1 corresponding to the top and bottom of the hanging rack 3 respectively. Then, second positioning holes corresponding to the second positioning bumps 12 are opened on the hanging rack 3. When installing the hanging rack 3, the second positioning bumps 12 are inserted through the second positioning holes to position the hanging rack 3 relative to the refrigerator inner liner 1.

[0052] In a possible implementation, one or more of the hanging rack 3 and the reinforcing member 2 are included; the hanging rack 3 and the reinforcing member 2 correspond one by one and are respectively longitudinally arranged on the inner wall and the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1.

[0053] Specifically, to meet the storage space requirements of the refrigerator, multiple hanging racks 3 can be provided. Correspondingly, reinforcing members 2 corresponding to the number of the hanging racks 3 are provided. Each hanging rack 3 and each reinforcing member 2 correspond one by one and are respectively longitudinally arranged on the inner wall and the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1. The installation method is the same as the foregoing and is not limited herein. Exemplarily, a first hanging rack 3 and a second hanging rack 3 are provided, which are respectively located at the two inner corners on both sides of the inner wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1. First reinforcing member 2 and second reinforcing member 2 corresponding to the first hanging rack 3 and the second hanging rack 3 are provided, which are respectively located on the first side edge and the second side edge of the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1. The first side edge and the second side edge are located on the same side surface of the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner 1.

[0054] On the other hand, the present invention provides a refrigerator, including the refrigerator hanging rack assembly as described above.

[0055] Through the above implementation, the present invention configures a whole reinforcing member for the hanging rack, which can eliminate the problem of cumulative tolerance existing in the assembly of multiple reinforcing members. The reinforcing member is longitudinally fixedly connected to the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner. The reinforcing part of the reinforcing member is embedded between the outer wall of the refrigerator inner liner and the refrigerator housing, and the force-bearing situation is transmitted from the inner liner to the foaming layer between the outer wall and the refrigerator housing, improving the stability of the hanging rack; the hanging rack is fixed to the refrigerator inner liner by a fastener passing through the installation parts of the refrigerator inner liner and the reinforcing member, and the reinforcing member plays a role in strengthening and stabilizing. In addition, the number of screw holes opened at the upper end of the hanging rack is greater than the number of screw holes opened at the lower end of the hanging rack to counteract the gravity of the loaded items, making the load-bearing capacity of the hanging rack stronger.

[0056] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
