DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following is a specific embodiment of the present application, and the technical solution of the present application will be further described in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments, and the following implementation manner does not limit the utility model involved in the claims. In addition, all combinations of the features described in the implementation manner are not necessarily required by the solution of the utility model.

[0031] The principles and structures of the present application will be described in detail in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0032] EMBODIMENT

[0033] With the improvement of living standards, people's requirements for household appliances are getting higher and higher, especially for such daily necessities as refrigerators. As a household appliance product with extremely high frequency of use in the family, the rationality of its design and the convenience of its use are directly related to the quality of users' daily life.

[0034] The bottle frame of the refrigerator generally refers to the shelf inside the refrigerator door for storing bottled beverages, seasonings or other small items, also known as a bottle rack or bottle groove. Its design is diverse and mainly used to optimize the storage space inside the refrigerator door.

[0035] The traditional refrigerator bottle frame design is usually fixed in size and cannot be adjusted according to actual needs. This leads to the following main problems:

[0036] Low space utilization: Different users and families have different needs for the internal space of the refrigerator. For example, some families may need to store a large number of beverage bottles, while some families may need to store large bottles of condiments or juice. Fixed-size bottle frames cannot fully meet these diverse needs, resulting in wasted space;

[0037] Convenience of use: Fixed-size bottle frames often require users to frequently adjust the position of items when placing items of different sizes, or even need to pour out and rearrange the items. This not only increases the complexity of operation, but also affects the convenience of use;

[0038] Low storage efficiency: In the commercial field, such as restaurants, supermarkets and other places, the refrigerator stores a variety of goods of different sizes. Fixed-size bottle frames cannot be flexibly adjusted, resulting in low storage efficiency and affecting business results;

[0039] High mold opening cost: The existing bottle frame is limited by its fixed size, so it usually needs to be opened separately during the design process, resulting in higher research and development costs.

[0040] To solve the above problems, some adjustable bottle frame designs have appeared in the market. These designs usually achieve space adjustment through movable shelves. However, these designs mostly have the following shortcomings:

[0041] For example, the Chinese utility model patent (publication number CN219223005U) provides a foldable bottle frame structure. This patent can only fold the bottle frame to save space, but sacrifices the storage space of the bottle frame when in use. The Chinese utility model patent (publication number CN218864595U) provides a bottle frame structure that can be assembled. This patent's bottle frame structure allows the bottle frame to move longitudinally, and by adding a limiting plate, it can control the space to place higher items, but it is limited to longitudinal movement and cannot achieve horizontal movement.

[0042] Therefore, it is particularly necessary to design a multifunctional refrigerator bottle frame that can be horizontally retracted, with flexible width adjustment, simple operation, and stable and reliable performance. This design not only improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the refrigerator and enhances user experience, but also meets the diverse needs of different families and commercial places, and has broad application prospects.

[0043] For example, Figure 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, the bottle frame structure, including at least two slot body constitutes the bottle frame main body, two said slot body telescopic cooperation connection, two said slot body between the limiting device is set to limit the telescopic distance, said limiting device includes a swing bar 5 and set between one said slot body and said swing bar 5 one end of the elastic reset device, said swing bar 5 middle part is provided with a shaft hinge, said elastic reset device and said shaft hinge are provided on the same slot body, said swing bar 5 the other end is provided with a chuck 14, the other said slot body is provided with a plurality of clamping groove 15 with said chuck 14 clamping cooperation, a plurality of said clamping groove 15 along the slot body telescopic direction in turn arranged.

[0044] The slot body as the main structure of the bottle frame, two said slot body telescopic cooperation connection, by telescopic adjustment of the distance between the slot body, and then use the limiting device to prevent the movement between the slot body, so as to realize the adjustment of the size of the bottle frame. Reset spring 8 makes the chuck 14 clamping groove 15 to prevent the telescopic between two said slot body, when the need to adjust the distance between two said slot body, as long as the manual to make the end of the swing bar 5 overcome the elastic force of the elastic reset device, so that the other end of the swing bar 5 chuck 14 away from the clamping groove 15 can make two said slot body can be moved relative to each other, the swing bar 5 around the shaft hinge rotation, equivalent to a lever.

[0045] The slot body includes a middle slot body 1 in the middle and two end slot bodies 2 respectively located at both ends of the middle slot body 1. Thus by adjusting the telescopic of the end slot body 2 relative to the middle slot body 1, the length of the two ends of the slot body is adjusted.

[0046] The end slot body 2 is provided with a slot 3, and the end of the middle slot body 1 is inserted into the slot 3, so that the sliding telescopic connection of the two is realized, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the length of the bottle frame.

[0047] The shaft 4 of the shaft hinge is arranged on the end slot body 2, so that the swing bar 5 is arranged on the end slot body 2, and the swing bar 5 moves with the end slot body 2. The middle part of the swing bar 5 is provided with a first shaft hole 6 for the shaft 4 to pass through, and the end slot body 2 is provided with a second shaft hole 7 for the shaft 4 to pass through.

[0048] The elastic reset device includes a reset spring 8 supported between the middle slot body 1 and the end of the swing bar 5, which uses the supporting force of the spring to ensure that the chuck 14 is clamped on the clamping groove 15.

[0049] The middle groove body 1 is provided with a pin hole 9, the end of the swing lever 5 is provided with a pin column 10 which is in telescopic cooperation with the pin hole 9, the reset spring 8 is a cylindrical spring which is sleeved on the pin column 10, the swing of the swing lever 5 makes the pin column 10 slide relative to the pin hole 9, and the swing lever 5 plays a guiding role for the movement of the swing lever 5 and provides telescopic guidance for the cylindrical spring.

[0050] The middle groove body 1 is a U-shaped groove, and the end groove body 2 is a U-shaped groove with one end closed, so that the middle groove body 1 and the end groove body 2 form a bottle frame with both ends closed.

[0051] As shown in Figure 6 , 7 , 8, when the bottle frame structure is arranged on the refrigerator, the cabinet of the refrigerator is provided with an upward positioning groove, and the middle groove body 1 is provided with a clamping portion which is in upward and downward clamping cooperation with the positioning groove. The positioning groove of the embodiment is a bending portion 11 which protrudes upward from the cabinet, and the clamping portion is a downward bending portion 12 which protrudes outward from the groove wall of the middle groove body 1. Therefore, the bottle frame can be conveniently taken down or installed by moving the middle groove body 1 up and down.

[0052] The clamping portion and the limiting device are respectively located on two opposite groove walls of the middle groove body 1, that is, the limiting device is located on the other side opposite to the clamping portion, so that when in use, the limiting device is located on the side close to the person, and the swing lever 5 is conveniently manually pressed to control the loosening of the clamping head 14. The bottle frame of the embodiment is arranged on the door body 13 of the refrigerator.
