For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] The following refers to Figures 1-6 A refrigerator sliding tray structure is described according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0026] A refrigerator sliding tray structure includes a refrigerator shelf 1, an extruded clamping strip 2 for clamping the refrigerator shelf 1, the refrigerator shelf 1 is a glass layer plate, the width is greater than the depth, usually the width is more than 2 times the depth. The extruded clamping strip 2 is provided on the front and rear sides of the refrigerator shelf, and the refrigerator shelf is clamped in the shelf clamping groove 21. A first guide rail 5 is provided below the shelf clamping groove 21, the first guide rail 5 is in the shape of a U, the bracket 3 is a rectangular frame structure composed of front, rear, left and right side frame plates, and has a hollow middle part, wherein the left and right frame plates are connected to the left and right side walls, the bracket 3 is integrally injection molded, and a downwardly open groove 6 is provided on the front and rear side frame plates of the frame, the outer side wall of the groove 6 extends into the first guide rail 5, so that the bracket 3 can move freely on the guide rail 5 of the extruded clamping strip 2. Referring to Figure 3 With one side of the tray handle 41 as the front side, the side opposite to the tray handle as the rear side, the tray advances in the direction A as the pulling stroke, and vice versa as the pushing stroke. The side of the tray in the direction B is the right side, and moving in the direction B is moving to the right, and the side opposite to the direction B is the left side.

[0027] The inner side of the left and right side walls of the bracket 3 is provided with a second guide rail 8, the entrance side of the second guide rail 8 is provided with a trumpet mouth, the upper opening of the tray 4 forms a drawer opening for accessing food, and the left and right side walls of the tray opening are provided with first flanges 7. The first flanges 7 are placed on the second guide rail 8, so that the tray can be pulled forward and backward on the second guide rail 8. The lower side of the second guide rail 8 is provided with a reinforcing rib 9, which can enhance the bearing capacity of the bracket 3.

[0028] The back side of the first flange 7 is provided with a tray limiting block 71, and the front side of the second guide rail 8 is provided with a bracket limiting block 82 above. The second guide rail 8 is provided with a second guide rail sink 81 at a position corresponding to the bracket limiting block 82. The distance between the bracket limiting block 82 and the second guide rail sink 81 is sufficient to allow the tray limiting block 71 to pass through. Moreover, the bracket limiting block 82 and the tray limiting block 71 are both triangular, each having a relatively steep first slope and a relatively gentle second slope. The first slopes of the two are adapted to each other, and the second slopes of the two are adapted to each other. When the tray 4 is pushed into the bracket 3 from the trumpet mouth of the second guide rail 8, the second slope of the bracket limiting block 82 meets the second slope of the tray limiting block 71. The tray limiting block 71 is guided by the second slope of the bracket limiting block 82, enters the second guide rail sink 81, then passes over the second guide rail sink 81, and then advances in the longitudinal direction of the bracket until it is completely placed below the bracket. When the tray is pulled out horizontally from the bracket, the first slope of the tray limiting block 71 meets the first slope of the bracket limiting block 82, which serves as a limiting function. When the entire tray needs to be pulled out, the tray handle position is lifted upwards, so that the tray limiting block 71 is rotated to below the bracket limiting block 82. At this time, the tray is pulled out again, the tray limiting block 71 is released from the restriction of the bracket limiting block 82, and the tray can be taken out of the bracket.

[0029] Referring to Figures 3-4 , the extruded clamping strip 2 has a double-layer structure, and the cross section of the extruded clamping strip 2 is in the shape of an E. The shelf clamping groove 21 is located above the first guide rail 5, and has an opening horizontally facing the glass layer plate. The U-shaped first guide rail 5 has a common wall end plate 51 with the shelf clamping groove 21. The common wall end plate 51 of the U-shaped first guide rail 5 is longer than the notch end plate 52, so that the notch end plate 52 and the lower wall of the shelf clamping groove 21 form a gap that allows the clamping plate 61 of the groove 6 to be inserted. The front and rear side frames of the bracket 3 have a cross section in the shape of an M-shaped door opening structure. The groove 6 is located on the outside of the door opening, and the groove width of the groove 6 is adapted to the wall thickness of the notch end plate 52, so that the bracket 3 is suitable for sliding on the extruded clamping strip and has a good push-pull experience.

[0030] The tray 4 is less wide than the refrigerator shelf 1, can move left and right along the refrigerator shelf, the height of the tray 4 is less than the distance between the refrigerator shelves 1, and the tray 4 can be placed below the articles, when the tray 4 blocks the articles, the user can take out or place the articles by moving the tray 4 left and right, so that the storage space in the refrigerator is more flexible.

[0031] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
