Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerator shelves, in particular to a high-load-bearing shelf that does not occupy refrigerator space. Background Art

[0002] Typically, freezers (refrigerators, refrigerators, etc.) use shelves to store items. To accommodate more items, the shelves are typically large (mostly over 500mm wide). This consumes a lot of raw materials and has poor bending resistance. After prolonged use, fully loaded shelves can easily bend in the middle, causing deformation of the load-bearing surface, affecting the placement of beverages (or other items), and ultimately shortening the lifespan of the entire unit. To address this, industry experts have developed improvements to freezer shelves. For example, a Chinese patent discloses a high-load-bearing freezer shelf with longitudinal beams (Application No. 202222026601). 2, comprising an annular outer frame (1), wherein a plurality of spaced and parallel cross beams (2) are provided in the annular outer frame (1), and the two ends of the cross beams (2) are respectively located on two opposite inner side walls of the annular outer frame (1), characterized in that: the bottom end of the annular outer frame (1) is provided with at least one reinforcing longitudinal beam (3) intersecting with all the cross beams (2) and supporting the cross beams (2), the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3) is connected to the middle of the cross beam (2), and the upper end of the annular outer frame (1) is provided with a plurality of parallel support rods (4) supported by the cross beams (2).

[0003] In the above patent, the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3) is located at the bottom of the cross beam (2), and the support rod (4) is located at the top of the cross beam (2). At the same time, in the above patent, the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3) is provided with a plurality of slots (31) for inserting the side rods of the cross beam (2) or the annular outer frame (1); since the support rod (4) is arranged at the top of the cross beam (2), the slots (31) are slots opening upward. In this arrangement, the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3) will protrude downward, and the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3) is lower than the bottom surface of the annular outer frame (1). When the shelf is used, the downward protruding part of the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3) will occupy the internal space of each layer of the refrigerator. If the height of some beverages is higher than the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3), it will be difficult to take out (the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3) will get stuck on the top of the beverage), or the shelf can only be placed within the height of the distance between the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3) of the upper shelf and the top surface of the support rod (4) of the next shelf, so that there are certain limitations when placing beverages after the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3) occupies the internal space of each layer of the refrigerator. Based on this, we propose a high-load-bearing shelf that does not occupy the space of the refrigerator. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a high-load-bearing shelf that does not occupy the space of the refrigerator. After the shelf is improved in structure, it can effectively solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is:

[0006] A high load-bearing shelf that does not occupy the space of a refrigerator comprises a crossbeam, a reinforcing longitudinal beam, a support rod and an annular outer frame; the interior of the annular outer frame is respectively provided with a crossbeam and a reinforcing longitudinal beam, the two ends of the crossbeam are respectively fixedly connected to the two side inner walls of the annular outer frame, the crossbeam and the reinforcing longitudinal beam are fixedly connected, the top surface of the crossbeam is provided with a support rod, the bottom surface of the crossbeam is flush with the bottom surface of the annular outer frame, the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam is higher than the bottom surface of the crossbeam or the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam is flush with the bottom surface of the crossbeam, the top surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam protrudes from the crossbeam and is flush with the top surface of the support rod.

[0007] Furthermore, there are a plurality of cross beams, at least one of the reinforcing longitudinal beams is fixedly connected to the cross beams, and the cross beams are arranged perpendicular to the reinforcing longitudinal beams.

[0008] Furthermore, one or two reinforcing longitudinal beams are provided and fixedly installed in the middle of the cross beam.

[0009] Furthermore, a first clamping slot is provided on the crossbeam, and a second clamping slot is provided on the reinforcing longitudinal beam. The crossbeam is fixed by clamping the first clamping slot and the second clamping slot of the reinforcing longitudinal beam.

[0010] Furthermore, the first slot of the cross beam is opened upward, and the second slot of the reinforced longitudinal beam is opened downward.

[0011] Furthermore, the support rods are provided in a plurality and some of them are evenly spaced on the top surface of the beam, and the support rods are cylindrical structures.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the reinforcing longitudinal beam is welded to the inner wall of one side of the annular outer frame.

[0013] Furthermore, both ends of the reinforcing longitudinal beam are respectively welded to the inner walls of the front and rear side surfaces of the annular outer frame.

[0014] Furthermore, flanges are welded to the outside of both the front and rear side surfaces of the annular outer frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the support rod is arranged parallel to the reinforcing longitudinal beam, and the support rod is arranged perpendicular to the cross beam.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] 1. Compared with the prior art, the present invention sets the bottom surface of the crossbeam flush with the bottom surface of the annular outer frame, and sets the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam higher than the bottom surface of the crossbeam or sets the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam flush with the bottom surface of the crossbeam. Therefore, neither the crossbeam nor the reinforcing longitudinal beam protrudes from the bottom surface of the annular outer frame, so that they do not occupy the space of each layer inside the refrigerator. This makes it easier to place and take out beverages on this shelf. Not only will the beverage not be stuck when taking it out, but the height of the beverage only needs to meet the distance between adjacent shelves, thereby being able to accommodate more beverages of different heights and expanding its scope of use.

[0018] 2. By setting the top surface of the reinforced longitudinal beam protruding from the cross beam and flush with the top surface of the support rod, the length of the reinforced longitudinal beam after deducting the depth of the second slot is greater than the depth of the second slot. In this way, the supporting strength of the reinforced longitudinal beam will be greatly improved, thereby enhancing the load-bearing capacity of this shelf, making it have high load-bearing performance and better meeting the needs of users.

[0025] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown,

[0027] A high load-bearing shelf that does not occupy the space of the refrigerator, comprising a crossbeam 1, a reinforcing longitudinal beam 2, a support rod 3 and an annular outer frame 4; the interior of the annular outer frame 4 is respectively provided with a crossbeam 1 and a reinforcing longitudinal beam 2, the two ends of the crossbeam 1 are respectively fixedly connected to the two side inner walls of the annular outer frame 4, the crossbeam 1 and the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 are fixedly connected, the top surface of the crossbeam 1 is provided with a support rod 3, the bottom surface of the crossbeam 1 is flush with the bottom surface of the annular outer frame 4, the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 is higher than the bottom surface of the crossbeam 1 or the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 is flush with the bottom surface of the crossbeam 1, the top surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 protrudes from the crossbeam 1 and is flush with the top surface of the support rod 3; a first slot 5 is provided on the crossbeam 1, and the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 is provided. A second slot 6 is provided on the top, and the crossbeam 1 is fixed by the first slot 5 and the second slot 6 of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2. In this embodiment, the depth of the first slot 5 is the same as the depth of the second slot 6. The length of the height of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 minus the depth of the second slot 6 is greater than the depth of the second slot 6. Similarly, the length of the height of the crossbeam 1 minus the depth of the first slot 5 is greater than the depth of the first slot 5. Therefore, the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 will protrude 2mm from the top surface of the crossbeam 1, and the crossbeam 1 will protrude 2mm from the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2. Since the depths of the first slot 5 and the second slot 6 are reduced, the supporting strength of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 will be greatly improved, thereby enhancing the load-bearing capacity of this shelf, making it have high load-bearing performance and better meeting the needs of users.

[0028] As another preferred embodiment; the depths of the first slot 5 and the second slot 6 are the same, and the length of the height of the crossbeam 1 minus the depth of the first slot 5 is equal to the depth of the first slot 5, and the length of the height of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 minus the depth of the second slot 6 is greater than the depth of the second slot 6. At this time, the bottom surface of the crossbeam 1 will be flush with the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2, and the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 will also protrude from the top surface of the crossbeam 1 by 2 mm, and the total height of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 will be 2 mm greater than the total height of the crossbeam 1.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment; the cross beams 1 are provided with several, and at least one of the reinforcing longitudinal beams 2 is provided with a fixed connection with the cross beam 1, and the cross beam 1 and the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 are arranged perpendicularly; it can be understood that one reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 can be fixedly connected with multiple cross beams 1, which can greatly enhance the supporting strength of the cross beam 1 and the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 after the fixed connection.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment; the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 is provided with one or two and fixedly installed in the middle of the cross beam 1; in the optimal choice, two reinforcing longitudinal beams 2 can be provided, and the supporting strength after the two reinforcing longitudinal beams 2 are fixed to the cross beam 1 is sufficient to support the use of multiple bottles of beverages. According to actual conditions, one reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 can also be provided, so that while meeting the load-bearing requirements, the cost can be further reduced.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the first card slot 5 of the cross beam 1 is set to open upward, and the second card slot 6 of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 is set to open downward. The purpose of this design is to make the installation of the cross beam 1 and the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 more convenient, and also to make the cross beam 1 and the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 more firm after being fixed. Compared with the single-card slot connection method, the double-card slot connection method is more reliable, firm and stable.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment; the support rods 3 are provided with several and some are evenly spaced on the top surface of the crossbeam 1, and the support rods 3 are cylindrical structures; it can be understood that setting the support rods 3 on the top surface of the crossbeam 1 can ensure that the top surface of the support rods 3 and the top surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 are flush, which is beneficial to enhance the supporting strength of the crossbeam 1 and the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 after they are fixedly connected.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment; the support rod 3 is arranged parallel to the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2, and the support rod 3 is arranged perpendicular to the cross beam 1; it can be understood that the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 is mainly used to increase the supporting strength of the shelf, and the support rod 3 needs to be perpendicular to the cross beam 1 to reduce the spacing of the gap and better place the beverage.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, one end of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 is welded to the inner wall of one side of the annular outer frame 4. It can be understood that the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 may not be extended to be connected to the front and rear sides of the annular outer frame 4 (only one end is connected to the inner wall of one side of the annular outer frame 4). According to actual conditions, when the load-bearing capacity is small, a half or small half of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 can be used to reduce costs.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, the two ends of the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 are respectively welded to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the annular outer frame 4; when a larger load-bearing capacity is required, the reinforcing longitudinal beam 2 can be extended at both ends and welded to the inner walls of the two sides of the annular outer frame 4.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, the outer sides of the annular outer frame 4 are welded with flanges 7; by providing the flanges 7, the beverage is not easy to fall during use.

[0037] It should be pointed out that the main problem in the prior art is that the downwardly protruding portion of the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3) will occupy the internal space of each layer of the refrigerator. If the height of some beverages is higher than the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3), it will be difficult to take them out, or the shelves can only be placed within the height between the bottom surface of the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3) of the upper shelf and the top surface of the support rod (4) of the lower shelf. This makes it difficult to place beverages after the reinforcing longitudinal beam (3) occupies the internal space of each layer of the refrigerator.

[0038] Therefore, through the improvement of the present application, the bottom surface of the crossbeam 1 is set flush with the bottom surface of the annular outer frame 4, and the bottom surface of the reinforced longitudinal beam 2 is set higher than the bottom surface of the crossbeam 1 or the bottom surface of the reinforced longitudinal beam 2 is set flush with the bottom surface of the crossbeam 1. Neither the crossbeam 1 nor the reinforced longitudinal beam 2 will protrude from the bottom surface of the annular outer frame 4, so that it will not occupy the space of each layer inside the refrigerator, so that this shelf can better place and take out beverages. Not only will the beverage not be stuck when taking it out, but the height of the beverage only needs to meet the distance between adjacent shelves, thereby being able to meet the needs of more beverages of different heights, expanding its scope of use.

[0039] The above embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary engineering technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection determined by the claims of the present invention.
