DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be apparently and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0028] In the description of the utility model, it is understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, a particular orientation configuration and operation, therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.
[0029] In addition, unless specifically stated and limited otherwise, the terms "mounting", "connected", "connected", and the like should be broadly understood, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be connected inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a folding glass shelf, which comprises a first shelf 1 and a second shelf 2. The first shelf 1 and the second shelf 2 are arranged as a foldable structure, which makes the folding and taking of the shelf more simple and convenient. In addition, the user does not need to constantly change the taking posture during the process of disassembling the shelf, and the shelf is also prevented from being damaged due to improper operation during the process of taking and placing.
[0031] Among them, please refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the first shelf 1 comprises a first decorative strip frame 11 and a first shelf body fixed in the middle of the first decorative strip frame 11. The first shelf body has a first upper horizontal surface 12. The second shelf 2 comprises a second decorative strip frame 21 and a second shelf body fixed in the middle of the second decorative strip frame 21. The second shelf body has a second upper horizontal surface 22. The first shelf body and the second shelf body are two glass structures, and the first decorative strip frame 11 and the second decorative strip frame 21 are plastic structures.
[0032] The first decorative strip frame 11 is rotatably connected to the second decorative strip frame 21 through a connecting piece 3 made of metal. When the first upper horizontal surface 12 and the second upper horizontal surface 22 are rotated and unfolded to the same horizontal plane, the first decorative strip frame 11 and the second decorative strip frame 21 are fixed through a limiting piece 4, so that the first shelf 1 and the second shelf 2 can be unfolded to the maximum, and the first upper horizontal surface 12 and the second upper horizontal surface 22 are in the same horizontal plane. This ensures that the first upper horizontal surface 12 and the second upper horizontal surface 22 can stably place the articles. After the articles are placed on the first shelf 1 and the second shelf 2, the first shelf 1 and the second shelf 2 can continue to maintain the horizontal direction stability under the limiting stop of the limiting piece 4.
[0033] Importantly, during the process of cleaning the refrigerator, the user can lift the first shelf 1 and the second shelf 2 upward from the connection between the first shelf 1 and the second shelf 2, and the first shelf 1 and the second shelf 2 can be folded relatively. After folding, the overall length of the first shelf 1 and the second shelf 2 is shortened, and the overall glass shelf has more space to move in the refrigerator. During the process of disassembling the glass shelf, the user does not need to constantly change the taking posture, and the refrigerator door shell or door tank edge can also be prevented from being damaged due to improper operation during the process of taking and placing.
[0034] The folding glass shelf has the advantages of simple structure, stability, reliability, obvious effect, simple and convenient taking and placing, and no need of video or text teaching by brand merchants for taking and placing of the embedded product shelf, and saves communication and solution cost.
[0035] It is worth noting that the folding direction of the folding shelf in the application can be the left-right direction, and can also be extended to the front-back folding direction, and the front-back folding can solve the pain point of user high object storage.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 2-4 In the embodiment, the connecting piece 3 includes a first protruding part 31 arranged at two ends of one side of the first decorative strip frame 11, a second protruding part 32 arranged at two ends of one side of the second decorative strip frame 21, and a pin shaft 33 rotatably inserted between the first protruding part 31 and the second protruding part 32. The first decorative strip frame 11 and the second decorative strip frame 21 can rotate around the pin shaft 33 as the axis to complete folding. Further, in order to ensure that the shelf can be normally folded, the mounting hole of the pin shaft 33 is required to be slightly larger than the diameter of the pin shaft 33 to maintain a certain rotation gap; in order to prevent the two ends of the pin shaft 33 from jumping off during rotation, a anti-falling part 34 for preventing the pin shaft 33 from falling off can be arranged at the two ends of the pin shaft 33, and the anti-falling part 34 can be fixed to the two ends of the pin shaft 33 by using a nut or riveting. The pin shaft 33 is not the only rotating connection mode, and a hinge with a limiting self-locking structure can also be used to assemble the shelf decorative strip frame, and the hinge has a spring limiting self-locking function, so that there is no need to additionally design a limiting structure.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 In the embodiment, the limiting piece 4 includes a first right angle part 41 arranged at an upper section of one side of the first decorative strip frame 11, a first arc part 42 arranged at a lower section of one side of the first decorative strip frame 11, a second right angle part 43 arranged at an upper section of one side of the second decorative strip frame 21, and a second arc part 44 arranged at a lower section of one side of the second decorative strip frame 21.
[0038] When the first shelf 1 and the second shelf 2 are unfolded to the same horizontal plane, the first right angle part 41 and the second right angle part 43 abut against each other to be locked, so that the shelf position is fixed, and the horizontal bearing effect is achieved. When the first shelf 1 and the second shelf 2 are folded upward, the first right angle part 41 and the second right angle part 43 are separated, and the first arc part 42 and the second arc part 44 overlap with each other as the first decorative strip frame 11 and the second decorative strip frame 21 are folded.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 7As shown, the utility model second embodiment provides a kind of embedded refrigerator, including cabinet 5, cabinet 5 front side is open and cabinet 5 is provided with compartment, and at least one folding glass shelf in compartment is provided with in the first embodiment. Compartment two sides are provided with several support rib 6 respectively, and folding glass shelf is installed on support rib 6, and the main role of support rib is the bearing fulcrum of both ends of glass shelf, and glass shelf is placed in support rib 6 position, and glass shelf is positioned to avoid shaking.
[0040] The above detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the utility model cannot be considered as limiting the scope of the utility model. Any equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the utility model application shall still belong to the patent coverage of the utility model.
