Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refrigerators, and particularly to a refrigerator bottle rack and a refrigerator thereof. Background Art

[0002] A refrigerator is an electrical appliance that preserves food by maintaining a constant low temperature inside. During use, if some bottled foods such as wine bottles and oil pots are directly placed on the refrigerator shelf, it will lead to the problem of low utilization rate of the refrigerator. At the same time, there is a risk that the bottle body will tip over and the contents inside will spill out. Therefore, a bottle rack is generally provided on the door body of the refrigerator for storing the bottle body, so that the bottle body can be stably placed vertically, and at the same time, the utilization rate of the internal space of the refrigerator is improved.

[0003] At present, all the bottle rack structures used in refrigerators are fixed structures, and the bottle body is placed in when in use. However, when not in use, the presence of the bottle rack will occupy the internal space of the refrigerator and reduce the usable area of the refrigerator. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a refrigerator bottle rack and a refrigerator thereof that can reduce the occupied area when not in use and increase the usable area of the refrigerator.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A refrigerator bottle rack for being installed on the door body of a refrigerator; the refrigerator bottle rack at least includes:

[0007] A mounting seat for being installed on the door body of the refrigerator; and along the height direction of the refrigerator, the mounting seat has a first end and a second end with relative positions.

[0008] A fixed cover located at the first end of the mounting seat and rotatably connected to the mounting seat, and capable of folding relative to the mounting seat, and a placing hole is provided on the fixed cover.

[0009] A bottle base is rotatably installed at the second end of the mounting seat and can be folded relative to the mounting seat, and a placing space is formed between the bottle base and the fixed cover, and the placing hole is communicated with the placing space.

[0010] In one embodiment, the refrigerator bottle rack further includes a reset member, one end of the reset member is connected to the mounting seat, and the other end is connected to the bottle base, for making the bottle base have a tendency to reset and fold towards the mounting seat.

[0011] It can be understood that the function of the reset member is to make the bottle base have a reset tendency. In this way, when the refrigerator bottle rack is not in use, the bottle base can automatically rotate and fold towards the mounting seat, realizing the automatic folding of the bottle base, which is more convenient to operate. And when there is a bottle body on the bottle base, since the reset member can provide a corresponding reset force for the bottle base, it is equivalent to providing an additional supporting force for the bottle base, effectively improving the stability of the bottle base during use.

[0012] In one embodiment, the reset member is configured as a rubber member or a spring.

[0013] In one embodiment, along the height direction of the refrigerator, the first end is located above the second end, the fixed cover is rotatably connected to the mounting seat through a pin shaft, and the fixed cover has a tendency to reset and fold towards the mounting seat under the action of its own gravity.

[0014] In one embodiment, a first receiving cavity is provided on the mounting seat. When the bottle base is folded relative to the bottle base, the bottle base is received in the first receiving cavity.

[0015] It can be understood that the setting of the first receiving cavity enables the bottle base to be received in the mounting seat in the folded state, thereby further reducing the overall volume of the bottle rack in the folded state and improving the space utilization rate inside the refrigerator.

[0016] In one embodiment, a second receiving groove is provided on the fixed cover. When the fixed cover is folded relative to the bottle base, the fixed cover covers the outer surface of the bottle base.

[0017] It can be understood that through the setting of the second receiving groove, the bottle base can be received in the fixed cover in the closed state, thereby further reducing the overall volume of the bottle rack in the folded state and improving the space utilization rate inside the refrigerator.

[0018] In one embodiment, in the storage space, a storage groove is formed on the bottle base, and the storage groove is correspondingly arranged with the storage hole.

[0019] It can be understood that the storage groove can be used to position the bottle body after the bottle body is received in the storage space, thereby avoiding the shaking of the bottle body placed in the storage groove and improving the stability of the bottle body during placement.

[0020] In one embodiment, a protrusion is provided at the edge of the bottle base.

[0021] It can be understood that the protrusion can be used as a baffle to block the items placed in the storage groove and prevent the items from slipping.

[0022] The present application also provides the following technical solutions:

[0023] A refrigerator, comprising a door body and the refrigerator bottle rack described in any one of the above embodiments, wherein an embedding groove is formed on the inner side wall of the door body, and the refrigerator bottle rack is embedded in the embedding groove.

[0024] It can be understood that by forming the embedding groove, the refrigerator bottle rack is embedded in the embedding groove, so that the refrigerator bottle rack in the folded state is located in the embedding groove, thereby further reducing its occupation of the internal space of the refrigerator and improving the usable area and utilization rate of the internal space of the refrigerator.

[0025] In one embodiment, when the refrigerator bottle rack is in the closed state, the outer surface of the fixed cover is flush with the inner side wall of the door body.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the refrigerator bottle rack enables both the fixed cover and the bottle base to be foldable relative to the mounting seat. Thus, when the refrigerator bottle rack is not in use, the fixed cover and the bottle base can be folded up to reduce the overall space occupied by the refrigerator bottle rack, thereby increasing the usable area inside the refrigerator and improving the space utilization rate.

The term "and / or" used in the specification of this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , this application provides a refrigerator bottle rack 100, which is used for storing bottle bodies and is foldably installed on the door body 200 of the refrigerator. In this way, the occupation of the internal space of the refrigerator by the refrigerator bottle rack 100 is reduced through the folding method, and the utilization rate of the internal space of the refrigerator is improved. Here, the refrigerator bottle rack 100 as a whole can be set as a plastic rack or a metal rack.

[0042] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , the refrigerator bottle rack 100 includes a mounting base 10, a fixed cover 20, and a bottle base 30. The mounting base 10 is used to mount the refrigerator bottle rack 100 on the door body 200 of the refrigerator, and along the height direction z of the refrigerator, the mounting base 10 has a first end 10a and a second end 10b with relative positions. The fixed cover 20 is located at the first end 10a of the mounting base 10 and is rotatably connected to the mounting base 10 so that the fixed cover 20 can be folded relative to the mounting base 10, and a storage hole 21 is provided on the fixed cover 20. The bottle base 30 is rotatably mounted at the second end 10b of the mounting base 10 and encloses a storage space 40 with the fixed cover 20, and the storage hole 21 is communicated with the storage groove 31. In this way, both the fixed cover 20 and the bottle base 30 can rotate relative to the mounting base 10, and the refrigerator bottle rack 100 can be foldably mounted on the refrigerator door body 200 as a whole. Thus, when the refrigerator bottle rack 100 is not in use, the refrigerator bottle rack 100 can be folded, and the volume of the folded refrigerator bottle rack 100 is reduced, so as to reduce the occupied space inside the refrigerator and increase the usable area of the refrigerator.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, a first receiving cavity 11 is provided on the mounting base 10. When the bottle base 30 is folded relative to the mounting base 10, the bottle base 30 is received in the first receiving cavity 11. This can reduce the volume of the bottle base 30 and the overall refrigerator bottle rack 100 in the folded state, and improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the refrigerator.

[0044] Furthermore, a mounting hole 12 is provided at the bottom of the first receiving cavity 11. The mounting hole 12 penetrates through the mounting base 10 and is used to cooperate with an external fastener, and the mounting base 10 is fixed on the refrigerator door body 200. Here, the fastener can be configured as a threaded part. Similarly, corresponding threaded holes can be provided on the refrigerator door body 200. One end of the threaded part passes through the mounting hole 12 and then extends into the threaded hole and is connected by threading.

[0045] Preferably, the number of the mounting holes 12 can be set to be multiple; correspondingly, threaded holes corresponding to the mounting holes 12 one by one can be provided on the refrigerator door body 200; in this way, the mounting seat 10 is fixed on the refrigerator door body 200 through a plurality of threaded members, so as to improve the mounting stability thereof.

[0046] Here, the number of the mounting holes 12 can be 2-6, for example, the number of the mounting holes 12 is set to 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. Of course, within a reasonable range, the number of the mounting holes 12 can be selected according to the actual situation, which will not be elaborated here.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 6 , along the height direction z of the refrigerator, the first end 10a is located above the second end 10b, the fixing cover 20 is rotatably connected with the mounting seat 10 through a pin shaft, and the fixing cover 20 has a tendency to reset and fold towards the mounting seat 10 under the action of its own gravity. In this way, by using its own gravity, the fixing cover 20 can always have a folding tendency. When no bottle body is placed in the refrigerator bottle rack 100, the fixing cover 20 can reset itself, which is more convenient to use.

[0048] In an embodiment, the fixing cover 20 and the mounting seat 10 can be rotatably connected through a rotating member such as a pin shaft.

[0049] Further, please continue to refer to Figure 5 , a second receiving cavity 22 is provided on the fixing cover 20. When the fixing cover 20 is folded relative to the bottle base 30, the fixing cover 20 covers the outer surface of the bottle base 30. In this way, the bottle base 30 can be received in the fixing cover 20 in the closed state, so as to further reduce the overall volume of the bottle rack in the folded state and improve the space utilization rate inside the refrigerator. At the same time, combined with the setting of the first receiving cavity 11, after the refrigerator bottle rack 100 is folded, the fixing cover 20, the bottle base 30 and the mounting seat 10 are in a stacked state to further reduce the folded volume.

[0050] Further, during folding, the size of the first receiving cavity 11 of the mounting seat 10 is larger than that of the bottle base 30, the bottle base 30 can be folded into the first receiving cavity 11 of the mounting seat 10, the size of the second receiving cavity 22 is larger than that of the mounting seat 10, and when the fixing cover 20 is folded relative to the mounting seat 10, the fixing cover 20 covers the outer surfaces of the mounting seat 10 and the bottle base 30.

[0051] In an embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, a storage groove 31 is formed on the bottle base 30. The storage groove 31 is located within the storage space 40 and is correspondingly arranged with the storage hole 21. Here, the storage groove 31 can be used to position the bottle after the bottle body is received in the storage space 40, thereby preventing the bottle body placed in the storage groove 31 from shaking and improving the stability when the bottle body is placed.

[0052] Furthermore, a protrusion 32 is provided at the edge of the bottle base 30. The protrusion 32 can be used as a retaining edge to block the items placed in the storage groove 31 and prevent the items from slipping.

[0053] Preferably, the protrusion 32 is arranged in a ring shape and surrounds the circumference of the storage groove 31.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the refrigerator bottle rack 100 further includes a reset member 50. One end of the reset member 50 is connected to the mounting base 10, and the other end is connected to the bottle base 30, for making the bottle base 30 have a tendency to reset and fold towards the mounting base 10. Thus, when the refrigerator bottle rack 100 is not in use, the bottle base 30 can automatically rotate and fold towards the mounting base 10, realizing the automatic folding of the bottle base 30, and the operation is more convenient. And when there is a bottle body on the bottle base 30, since the reset member 50 can provide a corresponding reset force for the bottle base 30, which is equivalent to providing an additional supporting force for the bottle base 30, the stability when the bottle base 30 is in use is effectively improved.

[0055] Preferably, the reset member 50 is any one of a rubber member, a silica gel member or a spring structure, and the number of the reset members 50 can be set to be multiple.

[0056] In this embodiment, the reset member 50 is a rubber member.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application further provides a refrigerator, which includes a door body 200 and the refrigerator bottle rack 100 in any of the above embodiments. An embedding groove (not shown in the figure) is formed on the inner side wall of the door body 200, and the refrigerator bottle rack 100 is embedded in the embedding groove. Thus, when the refrigerator bottle rack 100 is in a folded state, the refrigerator bottle rack 100 can be located in the embedding groove, thereby further reducing its occupation of the internal space of the refrigerator and improving the usable area and utilization rate of the internal space of the refrigerator.

[0058] In one embodiment, when the refrigerator bottle rack 100 is in a folded state, the outer surface of the fixed cover 20 is flush with the inner side wall of the door body 200. Thus, when the refrigerator bottle rack 100 is in a folded state, it can be integrated with the door body 200 as a whole.

[0059] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the various technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as falling within the scope described in this specification.

[0060] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
