[0002] As an indispensable appliance in modern households, refrigerators play a key role in food preservation and storage. They not only extend the shelf life of food but also provide us with fresh ingredients and cold drinks. To accommodate the diverse food and beverages stored in refrigerators, bottle holders are often integrated into refrigerator doors to hold bottles and other items, while also improving space utilization.

[0003] However, in home use, due to limited space, people may accidentally bump into the refrigerator while moving items or carrying out daily activities. In commercial environments, such as restaurants and supermarket kitchens, refrigerators are also susceptible to collisions during busy operations. When the refrigerator is shaken by a collision, the bottle holders fixed to the refrigerator door can easily fall off.

[0004] Existing bottle holders typically connect to refrigerator door latches through gravity. However, this connection method is too flexible, relying solely on gravity to secure the bottle holder, which lacks safety. This is especially true for bottle holders located at the lowest point of the door, where users bending over to operate the freezer, or shorter children, can easily collide with the bottle holder, causing injuries such as bumps and injuries.

[0033] See Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a refrigerator bottle holder structure 100, including a fixing assembly 10, a bottle holder 20 and a locking assembly 30. The fixing assembly 10 is connected to the refrigerator door, the bottle holder 20 is connected to the fixing assembly 10, and the locking assembly 30 is rotatably connected to the bottle holder 20, and can be moved from a first position to a second position by rotation, and is connected to the fixing assembly 10 at the second position.

[0034] In this way, the bottle holder 20 is used to hold bottled food and beverages, improving space utilization within the refrigerator. The fixing assembly 10 is used to position the bottle holder 20, facilitating assembly. While connected to the fixing assembly 10, the bottle holder 20 can also be secondary positioned by rotating the locking assembly 30. This provides a more secure connection to the fixing assembly 10, reducing shaking and preventing the bottle holder 20 from falling off the fixing assembly 10. Furthermore, the locking assembly 30 can position or release the bottle holder 20 with a simple rotation, making operation convenient and allowing for flexible disassembly and assembly when necessary.

[0035] The fixing assembly 10 includes a fixing plate 11, which is provided with a positioning groove 111. When the locking assembly 30 is in the second position, the locking assembly 30 engages with the positioning groove 111. In this way, the locking assembly 30 can be limited by engaging with the positioning groove 111, and the structure is simple and stable.

[0036] In other embodiments, the locking assembly 30 can be fixedly connected to the fixing assembly 10 in the second position by other means. For example, oppositely charged magnets can be provided on the locking assembly 30 and the fixing assembly 10. When the locking assembly 30 is close to the fixing assembly 10, the two magnets attract each other, thereby fixing the locking assembly 30 to the fixing plate 11. Alternatively, the connection can be achieved by snapping or overlapping.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the locking assembly 30 rotates 90° to switch from the first position to the second position. In other embodiments, it can also be set to 60° or 120°, etc., as long as the locking assembly 30 can be switched to the second position by rotating.

[0038] Furthermore, the positioning groove 111 is located along the rotation path of the locking assembly 30 and extends along the rotation direction of the locking assembly 30. The two ends of the positioning groove 111 along its length are configured as arcs. This allows the locking assembly 30 to be close to both ends of the positioning groove 111 when entering and exiting the positioning groove 111 as it rotates toward the fixing plate 11. Therefore, the arc-shaped ends of the positioning groove 111 facilitate entry of the locking assembly 30 and reduce interference.

[0039] The locking assembly 30 includes a knob 31 and a locking member 33. The knob 31 is connected to the locking member 33 and can drive the locking member 33 to rotate. In this way, the knob 31 is convenient for the user to rotate, and the locking member 33 is used to engage with the positioning groove 111.

[0040] In other embodiments, the locking member 33 may also be directly rotatably connected to the bottle holder 20 , and the user can engage the locking member 33 with the positioning groove 111 by turning the locking member 33 .

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the locking member 33 is configured as a plate-shaped structure. In other embodiments, the locking member 33 may also be configured as a rod-shaped structure, such as a cylindrical structure.

[0042] The bottle holder 20 is configured with a receiving groove 21, and the locking assembly 30 is installed at the bottom of the receiving groove 21. In this way, the locking assembly 30 is located at the bottom of the bottle holder 20, which can reduce its occupation of the internal space of the bottle holder 20.

[0043] In other embodiments, the locking assembly 30 may also be installed on the side wall of the bottle holder 20 .

[0044] The knob 31 is located within the receiving groove 21. A through-hole is formed at the bottom of the receiving groove 21. A rotating shaft is connected to the knob 31, facing the bottom of the receiving groove 21. At least a portion of the rotating shaft passes through the through-hole and extends outside the receiving groove 21, where it is connected to the locking member 33. In this way, the knob 31 rotates the locking member 33 via the rotating shaft, allowing the user to operate the bottle holder 20 from above, without having to rotate the locking member 33 from the bottom of the bottle holder 20.

[0045] The locking assembly 30 also includes a fixing pad 34, which is connected to the rotating shaft and abuts the side of the locking member 33 away from the bottle holder 20. In this way, the fixing pad 34 and the knob 31 are fixedly connected to the bottle holder 20 at the upper and lower sides of the bottom wall of the receiving groove 21, thereby increasing the strength and stability of the connection and preventing the locking member 33 from falling off.

[0046] The knob 31 includes a main body 311 and an operating portion 312. The operating portion 312 is connected to the main body 311 and protrudes from the main body 311 in a direction away from the locking member 33. The protrusion height at both ends of the operating portion 312 is less than the protrusion height in the middle of the operating portion 312. This makes it easier for the user to apply force to the operating portion 312. The higher middle portion of the operating portion 312 guides the user to apply force in the middle, providing a better grip and facilitating force application.

[0047] The fixing assembly 10 further comprises a mounting seat 12 connected to the refrigerator door and extending along a vertical direction; the mounting seat 12 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 121 uniformly arranged along the vertical direction, and the bottle holder 20 is provided with a clamping hook 40 on a side close to the mounting seat 12, which is clamped with any one of the plurality of mounting grooves 121. In this way, the connection of the bottle holder 20 and the mounting seat 12 is more convenient, and the clamping of the clamping hook 40 and the mounting groove 121 can fix the bottle holder 20 on the mounting seat 12. The plurality of mounting grooves 121 enables the bottle holder 20 to be connected to a plurality of positions in the vertical direction, realizing the adjustment of the position.

[0048] Specifically, after the clamping hook 40 is connected with the bottle holder 20, an end thereof away from the bottle holder 20 is vertically bent downward, and after the end passes through the mounting groove 121, the end is lapped on a side wall of the mounting seat 12.

[0049] It should be explained that, since the refrigerator is usually placed on a horizontal ground, in the embodiment, the vertical direction is a direction perpendicular to the ground, and the horizontal direction is a direction parallel to the ground.

[0050] The utility model further provides a refrigerator comprising the refrigerator bottle holder structure 100 as described above.

[0051] Compared with the prior art, the utility model sets the locking assembly 30 on the bottle holder 20, the locking assembly 30 can be clamped and matched with the fixing assembly 10 with a fixed position, so that the bottle holder 20 can be positioned again through the locking assembly 30 in addition to being directly connected with the fixing assembly 10, and therefore the position of the bottle holder 20 is more stable, avoiding the problem that the bottle holder 20 is easily knocked off in the daily use of the refrigerator.

[0052] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily, and to make the description concise, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described, however, as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist contradictory, they should be considered as the scope of the description.

[0053] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the utility model, the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as the limitation of the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, on the premise of not departing from the concept of the utility model, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
