TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to refrigerator technical field especially is related to a refrigerator bottle support structure and refrigerator thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an indispensable appliance in modern families, the refrigerator plays a key role in food preservation and storage. It not only extends the shelf life of food, but also provides us with fresh ingredients and cold drinks. In order to store a variety of food and beverages in the refrigerator, a bottle support structure is usually integrated on the refrigerator door to carry bottles and other items, and also to improve the space utilization rate inside the refrigerator.

[0003] However, in the home use scenario, due to limited space, people may accidentally collide with the refrigerator when moving objects or performing daily activities. In a commercial environment, such as a restaurant or supermarket back kitchen, the refrigerator is also prone to collision during the busy operation of the staff. When the refrigerator is shaken by the collision, the bottle support fixed on the refrigerator door is easy to fall off.

[0004] The existing bottle support is usually connected with the refrigerator door by the self-gravity effect, but this connection method has the disadvantage of being too flexible, only using the gravity effect to fix the bottle support, and lacking safety. Especially the bottle support at the lowest part of the fixed plate, when the user bends down to operate the freezer compartment or the child uses the refrigerator, it is easy to cause shoulder collision, injury, etc. SUMMARY

[0007] With this arrangement, the bottle holder is used to hold bottled food and beverages, improving space utilization within the refrigerator. When the locking assembly is in the first position, it can move along the direction of the fixing slot, meaning it can freely extend into the side of the fixing plate away from the bottle holder. When the locking assembly is in the second position, it can abut against the fixing plate. Therefore, when it is rotated into position, it forms a limited abutment with the fixing plate, thereby securing the bottle holder to the fixing plate through the connection with the bottle holder, preventing the bottle holder from falling off the fixing plate. Furthermore, the locking assembly can limit or release the bottle holder with a simple rotation, making it easy to operate and allowing for flexible disassembly and assembly when the bottle holder needs to be disassembled.

[0008] In one embodiment, the locking assembly includes a locking head and a knob, the knob is connected to the locking head, the locking head is located on a side of the fixing plate away from the bottle holder, and along the radial direction of rotation of the locking head, the maximum length of the locking head is greater than the minimum width of the fixing groove.

[0009] In one embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the locking head is adapted to the notch shape of the fixing groove.

[0010] In one embodiment, the fixing groove includes a communicating flaring section and a contracting section, the locking head includes a connecting section and an abutting section, the connecting section and the abutting section are connected, and the connecting section is coaxially arranged with the knob, and the abutting section extends radially.

[0011] In one embodiment, the flaring section is configured to be circular, the necking section is configured to be rectangular, the connecting section is configured to be a cylindrical structure, and the diameter of the connecting section is smaller than the diameter of the flaring section, the abutting section is configured to be a rectangular structure, and the width of the abutting section in the horizontal direction is smaller than the width of the necking section in the horizontal direction.

[0013] In one embodiment, the knob includes a main body and an operating portion, the operating portion is connected to the main body, and the operating portion protrudes from the main body in a direction away from the bottle holder, and the protruding heights at both ends of the operating portion in the longitudinal direction are smaller than the protruding height of the middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the operating portion.

[0014] In one embodiment, a plurality of fixing grooves are provided on the fixing plate along the vertical direction, and the fixing grooves are evenly spaced apart.

[0015] In one embodiment, the refrigerator bottle holder structure includes at least two locking components, and both of the locking components are connected to the bottle holder and are detachably connected to the fixing plate.

[0030] See Figure 1-Figure 5The utility model provides a refrigerator bottle holder structure 100, which makes the installation of the bottle holder 20 more stable through the secondary limitation of the locking component 30, avoiding the problem of the bottle holder 20 falling off.

[0031] The refrigerator bottle holder structure 100 includes a fixing plate 10, a bottle holder 20 and a locking assembly 30. The fixing plate 10 is connected to the refrigerator door, and a fixing groove 11 is opened on the fixing plate 10; the bottle holder 20 abuts the side of the fixing plate 10 where the fixing groove 11 is opened; the locking assembly 30 is connected to the bottle holder 20, and part of the locking assembly 30 passes through the fixing groove 11 and extends to the side of the fixing plate 10 away from the bottle holder 20; wherein, the locking assembly 30 has a first position and a second position, and can be switched between the first position and the second position by rotation. When the locking assembly 30 is in the first position, it can move along the groove direction of the fixing groove 11, and when the locking assembly 30 is in the second position, it can abut against the side of the fixing plate 10 away from the bottle holder 20.

[0032] In this way, the bottle holder 20 is used to hold bottled food and beverages, thereby improving space utilization within the refrigerator. When the locking assembly 30 is in the first position, it can move along the direction of the fixing slot 11, meaning it can freely extend into the side of the fixing plate 10 away from the bottle holder 20. When the locking assembly 30 is in the second position, it can abut against the fixing plate 10. Therefore, when it is rotated into position, it can form a limited abutment with the fixing plate 10, thereby securing the bottle holder 20 to the fixing plate 10 through the connection with the bottle holder 20 and preventing the bottle holder 20 from falling off the fixing plate 10. Furthermore, the locking assembly 30 can limit or release the bottle holder 20 with a simple rotation, making it easy to operate. When the bottle holder 20 needs to be disassembled, it can also be flexibly disassembled and assembled.

[0033] Furthermore, the locking assembly 30 includes a locking head 31 and a knob 33. The knob 33 is connected to the locking head 31. The locking head 31 is located on the side of the fixing plate 10 away from the bottle holder 20. Along the radial direction of the locking head 31's rotation, the maximum length of the locking head 31 is greater than the minimum width of the fixing slot 11. As such, because the maximum length of the locking head 31 is greater than the minimum width of the fixing slot 11, after the locking head 31 rotates, the projection of at least one end of its length on the fixing plate 10 falls outside the fixing slot 11. In other words, at least a portion of the locking head 31 can abut against the fixing plate 10, thereby ensuring the retaining effect between the locking assembly 30 and the fixing plate 10.

[0034] Of course, it needs to be explained that the maximum length of the locking head 31 here is greater than the minimum width of the fixing groove 11, which is an extreme case. In other embodiments, in the length direction of the locking head 31, multiple parts can be set to be longer than the width of the fixing groove 11 to achieve abutment at multiple parts.

[0035] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the locking head 31 is adapted to the notch shape of the fixing groove 11 , so that the locking head 31 can pass through the fixing groove 11 easily.

[0036] The fixing groove 11 includes a communicating flared section 111 and a narrowed section 112. The locking head 31 includes a connecting section 311 and an abutting section 312. The connecting section 311 and the abutting section 312 are connected, and the connecting section 311 is coaxial with the knob 33, while the abutting section 312 extends radially. As a result, the connecting section 311 and the knob 33 are coaxial, allowing the knob 33 to drive the connecting section 311 to rotate about the same center of a circle, while the abutting section 312 can rotate circumferentially around the connecting section 311. As the connecting section 311 rotates circumferentially, it abuts the fixing plate 10.

[0037] To facilitate rotation of the locking assembly 30, the flared section 111 is circular, the narrowed section 112 is rectangular, the connecting section 311 is cylindrical, and its diameter is smaller than that of the flared section 111. The abutting section 312 is rectangular, and its horizontal width is smaller than that of the narrowed section 112. Thus, the connecting section 311 is located within the flared section 111. The larger diameter of the flared section 111 ensures that the connecting section 311 can pass through the flared section 111 and move to the side of the fixed plate 10 away from the bottle holder 20. The circular shape of both sections facilitates smooth rotation of the connecting section 311. The abutting section 312 is rectangular and narrower than the narrowed section 112 to allow it to smoothly and synchronously pass through the narrowed section 112 as the connecting section 311 moves.

[0038] It is understandable that the shapes of the fixing groove 11 and the locking head 31 can also be adapted to other shapes to match each other, for example, both can be set to triangles. Then, after the locking head 31 rotates, when the projections of the two triangles cannot overlap, a limited abutment can be achieved to ensure that the bottle holder 20 will not fall.

[0039] The locking assembly 30 also includes a rotating shaft 32. The bottle holder 20 is provided with at least two coaxially arranged through-holes. The rotating shaft 32 is inserted into the two through-holes. One end of the rotating shaft 32 extends to the side of the bottle holder 20 away from the fixed plate 10 and is connected to the knob 33. The other end of the rotating shaft 32 extends to the side of the fixed plate 10 away from the bottle holder 20 and is connected to the locking head 31. In this way, the knob 33 operates the locking head 31 via the rotating shaft 32, resulting in a simple, stable, and low-cost structure. Furthermore, the knob 33 does not need to be arranged together with the locking head 31, making its structural layout more flexible. Furthermore, since the knob 33 is located on the side of the bottle holder 20 away from the fixed plate 10, the user can operate the knob 33 more easily without having to insert the user's hand into the bottle holder 20 or between the bottle holder 20 and the refrigerator door.

[0040] The knob 33 includes a main body 331 and an operating portion 332. The operating portion 332 is connected to the main body 331 and protrudes from the main body 331 in a direction away from the bottle holder 20. The protrusion height at both ends of the operating portion 332 is smaller than the protrusion height in the middle of the operating portion 332. This makes it easier for the user to apply force to the operating portion 332. The higher middle portion of the operating portion 332 guides the user to apply force in the middle, providing a better grip and facilitating force application.

[0041] Along the vertical direction, the fixing plate 10 is provided with a plurality of fixing grooves 11, and the fixing grooves 11 are evenly spaced. In this way, the bottle holder 20 can be installed at a plurality of positions in the vertical direction on the fixing plate 10 through the locking assembly 30, and its position is more flexible.

[0042] The refrigerator bottle holder structure 100 includes at least two locking assemblies 30 , and each of the locking assemblies 30 is connected to the bottle holder 20 and is detachably connected to the fixing plate 10 .

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the two locking assemblies 30 are respectively connected to the two sides of the bottle holder 20 in the horizontal direction, and both are provided with the above-mentioned locking head 31 structure of the knob 33 and the rotating shaft 32.

[0044] It should be explained that, since the refrigerator is usually placed on a horizontal ground, in this embodiment, the vertical direction is a direction perpendicular to the ground, and the horizontal direction is a direction parallel to the ground.

[0045] In addition, the present invention also provides a refrigerator, comprising the refrigerator bottle holder structure 100 as described above.

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the bottle holder 20 of the present invention is connected to the fixing plate 10 via the locking assembly 30, and after the locking assembly 30 passes through the fixing groove 11 on the fixing plate 10, it will not fall due to shaking in the direction of gravity or the horizontal direction. The abutment effect of the locking head 31 and the fixing plate 10 improves the connection strength between the bottle holder 20 and the fixing plate 10, thereby avoiding a series of safety problems caused by the bottle holder 20 falling. Moreover, the locking assembly 30 can be locked or released by rotation, so the disassembly and assembly of the bottle holder 20 are also more convenient.

[0047] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0048] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the utility model, the description is more specific and detailed, but can not therefore be understood as the limitation of the utility model patent range. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled person in the art, without departing from the utility model concept, several modifications and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection range of the utility model. Therefore, the protection range of the utility model patent should be subject to the appended claims.
