[0092] This application provides a storage cabinet. The storage cabinet may include storage devices such as refrigerators, wine cabinets, medicine cabinets, and merchandise cabinets capable of storing items. (See attached...) Figure 1 The lieutenant general demonstrated that the locker was a refrigerator and explained its structure.

[0093] See Figure 1 As shown, the locker may include a cabinet 10. The cabinet 10 has a cavity. The height of the locker is referenced. Figure 1 The direction shown is Z. The width of the locker is referenced. Figure 1 The direction indicated by X in the middle. The depth of the locker is referenced. Figure 1 The direction shown in Y.

[0094] See Figure 2 As shown, the locker also includes an inner liner 20. The inner liner 20 is disposed within the cavity. The inner liner 20 forms a storage compartment 201. The storage compartment 201 is used to store food and other items.

[0095] The bottom of the inner liner 20 can be located on one side in the -Z axis direction. The top of the storage compartment 201 can be located on one side of the inner liner 20 in the +Z axis direction.

[0096] The storage chamber 201 can be located at its bottom on the -Z axis side. The storage chamber 201 can be located at its top on the +Z axis side.

[0097] The locker also includes a door 30 (see Figure 1 (As shown). The door 30 is rotatably mounted on one side of the housing 10. For example, the door 30 is mounted on one side of the housing 10 via a hinge assembly, so that the door 30 can rotate relative to the housing 10 to open or close the storage compartment 201.

[0098] The locker also includes a sliding assembly. The sliding assembly is located within the storage compartment 201 of the inner liner 20.

[0099] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sliding assembly may include two slide rails 41. The two slide rails 41 can be connected to the inner liner 20. The two slide rails 41 can be spaced apart along the width direction of the storage cabinet. Each slide rail 41 extends along the height direction of the storage cabinet.

[0100] See Figure 4 As shown, the slide rail 41 may have a slide 411. In some examples, the slide 411 may extend along the height direction of the locker.

[0101] In some embodiments of this application, the sliding assembly may include at least one roller 43 and at least one connecting shaft 44. The roller 43 may be rotatably connected to the slide rail 411. The connecting shaft 44 may connect the roller 43 and the slider 42.

[0102] In some examples, roller 43 can be a bearing. The sliding assembly can include four bearings and four connecting shafts 44. Each slide rail 41 corresponds to two bearings and two connecting shafts 44. Each bearing can be located in a slide rail 411. The bearing can be rotatably connected to the slide rail 411. The connecting shaft 44 can connect the bearing and the sliding member 42, and the connecting shaft 44 is coaxially arranged with the bearing.

[0103] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sliding assembly may include two sliders 42. Each slider 42 may be movably connected to one of two slide rails 41. In some examples, the sliders 42 may slide along the height of the locker.

[0104] In some examples, the slider 42 can be slidably connected to the slide rail 41.

[0105] In some examples, the slider 42 may be connected to two connecting shafts 44. It is understood that the connecting shafts 44 connect the slider 42 and the rollers 43. Exemplarily, the slider 42 may be welded to the connecting shafts 44. With this configuration, the slider 42 can slide along the slide rail 41 along the height direction of the locker via the connecting shafts 44 and the rollers 43.

[0106] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the slider 42 may include a slider body 421. The slider body 421 may be movably connected to the slide rail 41.

[0107] The sliding body 421 may be provided with a through hole 4211. For example, the through hole 4211 extends through the sliding body 421 in the width direction of the locker.

[0108] In some embodiments, the slider 42 may further include an abutment plate 422. The abutment plate 422 may be connected to the sliding body 421. The abutment plate 422 may be positioned in the height direction of the locker on the trigger body 611 (see [link]). Figure 9 (As shown) the side away from the bottom of storage room 201.

[0109] In some embodiments, the slider 42 may further include a connecting plate 423. The connecting plate 423 may be connected to the sliding body 421. The connecting plate 423 is disposed on the side of the abutment plate 422 facing the bottom of the storage compartment 201 in the height direction of the storage cabinet.

[0110] In some embodiments, the slider 42 may further include a first shaft 424. The first shaft 424 may be fixedly connected to the slider body 421. The first shaft 424 may be connected to the connector 51 (see...). Figure 3 (As shown) Rotary connection.

[0111] In some embodiments, the slider 42 may further include a second shaft 425. The second shaft 425 may be fixedly connected to the slider body 421. In the height direction of the locker, the second shaft 425 may be located on the side of the first shaft 424 facing the bottom of the storage compartment 201.

[0112] The locker may also include shelving units. The shelving units may be installed within the storage compartment 201.

[0113] The shelving assembly may include two connectors 51 (see Figure 3 (As shown). The two connectors 51 can be movably connected to the two sliders 42 respectively.

[0114] In some examples, connector 51 can be a reinforcing plate.

[0115] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 As shown, the connector 51 may have a slot 511. The slot 511 may be located on the side of the connector 51 facing the slider 42, and the slot 511 may engage with the first axis 424 of the slider 42. This arrangement allows the connector 51 to rotate around the first axis 424 of the slider 42 via the slot 511.

[0116] The connector 51 may also have a limiting groove 512. The limiting groove 512 may be provided on the side of the connector 51 facing the slider 42. The groove wall of the limiting groove 512 may abut against the second shaft 425. With this arrangement, the connector 51 abuts against the second shaft 425 through the groove wall of the limiting groove 512, thereby allowing the second shaft 425 to limit the connection of the connector 51.

[0117] The shelving assembly may include shelving 50 (see Figure 3 (As shown). Shelf 50 can be connected to two connectors 51.

[0118] In some examples, the shelf 50 may be located on one side of the two connectors 51 in the +Z axis direction. The connectors 51 can support the shelf 50. The shelf 50 can be connected to the two connectors 51 by bolts. In the height direction of the locker, the shelf 50 can be moved via the connectors 51 and the slider 42, which can realize the raising or lowering of the shelf 50.

[0119] The locker may include a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism may be installed inside the storage compartment 201.

[0120] The lifting assembly may include at least one trigger 61 (see Figure 3 (As shown). The trigger 61 can be in active contact with a connector 51. In some examples, by lifting the shelf 50, the shelf 50 causes the connector 51 to rotate relative to the slider 42, which can disengage the trigger 61 from the connector 51.

[0121] The lifting assembly may include at least one elastic element 62. The elastic element 62 is connected between a trigger element 61 and a slider 42. In some examples, the elastic element 62 may be a spring. When the shelf 50 is stationary, the spring is compressed between the slider 42 and the trigger element 61.

[0122] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the lifting assembly may include at least one gas spring 63. The gas spring 63 may be connected to the bottom of the inner liner 20 and a sliding member 42. The gas spring 63 has a needle valve 631. In some examples, when the shelf 50 is fixed, the needle valve 631 is spaced apart from the trigger 61, that is, when the shelf 50 is fixed, there is a gap between the needle valve 631 and the trigger 61.

[0123] The needle valve 631 can be configured such that when the trigger 61 disengages from the connector 51 and moves under the action of the elastic member 62, it is pressed by the trigger 61, causing the gas spring 63 to adjust the height of the shelf 50 in the height direction of the storage cabinet via the sliding member 42. With this configuration, when the trigger 61 disengages from the connector 51 and moves under the action of the elastic member 62, the trigger 61 presses the needle valve 631 of the gas spring 63, allowing the gas spring 63 to adjust the height of the shelf 50 in the height direction of the storage cabinet via the sliding member 42. This eliminates the need to disassemble the shelf 50 when storing food of different heights, saving time and effort and making operation convenient.

[0124] See in some examples Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the gas spring 63 can be a self-locking gas spring 63. The self-locking gas spring 63 may include an inflation pressure tube 633, a piston rod 632, and a needle valve 631 for controlling the gas spring 63. The piston rod 632 can be sleeved within the inflation pressure tube 633. The needle valve 631 can be disposed on the piston rod 632. When the needle valve 631 of the self-locking gas spring 63 is pressed, it causes the piston rod 632 to extend or retract.

[0125] For example, when the trigger 61 disengages from the connector 51 and moves under the action of the elastic member 62, the trigger 61 presses the needle valve 631 of the gas spring 63. The needle valve 631 retracts toward the inflation pressure tube 633, allowing the piston rod 632 of the gas spring 63 to extend and retract in the height direction of the storage cabinet. This allows the piston rod 632 to adjust the height of the shelf 50 in the height direction of the storage cabinet via the sliding member 42.

[0126] For example, see Figures 8 to 10 As shown, when the trigger 61 contacts the connector 51, the needle valve 631 can extend away from the inflation pressure tube 633. The trigger 61 can be spaced apart from the needle valve 631. The piston rod 632 of the gas spring 63 can be locked, thereby allowing the shelf 50 to remain fixed after height adjustment in the height direction of the storage cabinet.

[0127] In some examples, the piston rod 632 of the gas spring 63 can be positioned on the bottom side of the shelf 50 facing the storage compartment 201. The piston rod 632 can pass through a connecting plate 423. The piston rod 632 can be fixedly connected to the connecting plate 423. In some examples, two nuts can be connected to the piston rod 632. The connecting plate 423 can be sandwiched between the two nuts. With this configuration, when the piston rod 632 extends or retracts, it can drive the sliding member 42 via the connecting plate 423, thereby adjusting the height of the shelf 50 in the height direction of the storage compartment via the sliding member 42.

[0128] The needle valve 631 is positioned on the side of the trigger body 611 of the trigger 61 facing the bottom of the storage room 201 in the height direction of the locker.

[0129] It should be noted that in other examples, the lifting assembly can use a cylinder or an electric push rod as the driving component, and the driving component can adjust the height of the shelf 50 in the height direction of the storage cabinet through the slider 42.

[0130] In some embodiments, see Figure 11 As shown, the trigger 61 may include a trigger body 611. In some examples, the trigger body 611 may be a trigger plate.

[0131] The trigger 61 may also include a contact protrusion 612. The contact protrusion 612 may be connected to the trigger body 611.

[0132] In some examples, the trigger body 611 of the trigger 61 can be located between two sliding members 42 in the width direction of the locker. The contact protrusion 612 can pass through the through hole 4211 of the sliding member 42 and make contact with the connector 51. With this configuration, by lifting the shelf 50, the shelf 50 causes the connector 51 to rotate relative to the sliding member 42, which can cause the contact protrusion 612 of the trigger 61 to disengage from the connector 51. As a result, the trigger 61 moves under the action of the elastic member 62, which allows the trigger body 611 to press the needle valve 631 of the gas spring 63.

[0133] It should be noted that when the contact protrusion 612 of the trigger 61 disengages from the connector 51, the contact protrusion 612 can move within the through hole 4211.

[0134] In some examples, the trigger 61 may also include a mounting post 613. The mounting post 613 may be connected to the trigger body 611. The mounting post 613 may be positioned on the side of the trigger body 611 away from the bottom of the storage compartment 201 in the height direction of the locker. In some examples, the mounting post 613 may extend along the height direction of the locker.

[0135] The trigger 61 may also include two limiting plates 614. The two limiting plates 614 may be connected to the trigger body 611 respectively. The two limiting plates 614 may be spaced apart in the depth direction of the locker. The two limiting plates 614 may be located on both sides of the mounting post 613 in the depth direction of the locker.

[0136] The elastic element 62 can be fitted onto the mounting post 613. This configuration allows the elastic element 62 to be mounted on the trigger element 61.

[0137] The elastic element 62 can be positioned between two limiting plates 614. With this configuration, the elastic element 62 can be limited by the two limiting plates 614 in the depth direction of the locker, so that the elastic element 62 remains stable on the trigger element 61.

[0138] Along the height of the locker, the two ends of the elastic element 62 abut against the abutment plate 422 of the sliding element 42 and the trigger body 611, respectively. The elastic element 62 is configured to apply a force to the trigger body 611 when the trigger 61 disengages from the connecting member 51, causing the trigger 61 to move toward the needle valve 631. Thus, when the trigger 61 disengages from the connecting member 51, the elastic element 62, compressed between the sliding member 42 and the trigger 61, applies a force to the trigger body 611, causing the trigger 61 to move toward the needle valve 631, thereby allowing the trigger body 611 to press the needle valve 631 of the gas spring 63.

[0139] In some embodiments of this application, the rotation direction of the connector 51 away from the bottom of the storage chamber 201, i.e., in the -W direction (see... Figure 12 As shown, the second shaft 425 can abut against the connector 51. With this configuration, in the -W direction, the second shaft 425 can limit the connector 51, preventing the connector 51 from rotating in the +W direction, thereby keeping the shelf 50 stable and allowing the shelf 50 to store food.

[0140] The connector 51 is configured to rotate toward the top of the storage compartment 201 to disengage the connector 51 from the contact protrusion 612. See also some examples. Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, lifting the shelf 50 to one side in the +Y axis direction can cause the shelf 50 to rotate the connector 51 toward the top of the storage chamber 201. That is, the shelf 50 can rotate the connector 51 in the -W direction, which can disengage the connector 51 from the contact protrusion 612.

[0141] In some embodiments of this application, the lifting assembly may further include at least one support member 64 (see...). Figure 3 (As shown). The support member 64 can be connected to the bottom of the inner liner 20.

[0142] The support member 64 may be located at its bottom on the -Z-axis side and at its top on the +Z-axis side. In some examples, the bottom of the support member 64 may be fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage compartment 201 by bolts.

[0143] The lifting assembly may also include at least one fastener 65. The fastener 65 is connected to the side wall of the inner liner 20. In some examples, the fastener 65 may be connected to the side wall of the storage compartment 201 by bolts.

[0144] The inflation pressure tube 633 of the gas spring 63 can be connected to the top of the support member 64. This arrangement allows the gas spring 63 to be supported along the height of the storage cabinet.

[0145] The inflation pressure tube 633 is connected to the fastener 65. This configuration allows the inflation pressure tube 633 to be secured using the fastener 65.

[0146] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly may include two triggers 61, two elastic members 62, two gas springs 63, two supports 64, and four fixing members 65. The two triggers 61 may respectively engage with two connecting members 51. Each elastic member 62 may abut between a trigger 61 and a sliding member 42. The inflation pressure tube 633 of each gas spring 63 is connected to a support 64. The piston rod 632 of each gas spring 63 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 423 of a sliding member 42. Each gas spring 63 may be connected to two fixing members 65. The two gas springs 63 are spaced apart along the width direction of the locker.

[0147] In some examples, shelf 50 can be moved to a first position or a second position.

[0148] For example, relative to the bottom of the storage room 201, the second position is higher than the first position in the height direction of the storage cabinet, that is, the second position is located on the side of the first position in the +Z axis direction.

[0149] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the shelf 50 can be in the first position. When the shelf 50 is in the first position, the piston rod 632 of the gas spring 63 is locked and the piston rod 632 is in the retracted state.

[0150] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, when the shelf 50 moves from the first position to the second position, it is lifted to one side in the +Y axis direction. This allows the shelf 50 to rotate towards the top of the storage compartment 201, that is, it allows the shelf 50 to rotate towards the connecting member 51 in the -W direction. This allows the connecting member 51 to disengage from the contact protrusion 612. The elastic member 62 can apply a force to the trigger body 611 of the trigger member 61, causing the trigger member 61 to move in the -Z axis direction. The trigger body 611 can press the needle valve 631 of the gas spring 63. The needle valve 631 contracts towards the inflation pressure tube 633, causing the piston rod 632 of the gas spring 63 to extend in the +Z axis direction. The piston rod 632 can drive the sliding member 42. The sliding member 42 can drive the shelf 50 to rise to the second position in the +Z axis direction via the connecting member 51. The shelf 50 is rotated along the +W direction, causing the connector 51 to abut against the second shaft 425 of the sliding member 42. The needle valve 631 can extend away from the inflation pressure tube 633. The trigger member 61 can be spaced apart from the needle valve 631. The piston rod 632 of the gas spring 63 can be locked, thereby keeping the shelf 50 fixed in the second position.

[0151] See Figure 2 and Figure 14 As shown, shelf 50 can be in the second position. When shelf 50 is in the second position, piston rod 632 of gas spring 63 is locked and piston rod 632 is in the extended state.

[0152] See Figure 2 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, when the shelf 50 moves from the second position to the first position, it lifts the shelf 50 on one side in the +Y axis direction. This allows the shelf 50 to rotate the connecting member 51 towards the top of the storage compartment 201, that is, it allows the shelf 50 to rotate the connecting member 51 along the -W direction. This allows the connecting member 51 to disengage from the contact protrusion 612. The elastic member 62 can apply a force to the trigger body 611 of the trigger member 61, causing the trigger member 61 to move along the -Z axis direction. The trigger body 611 can press the needle valve 631 of the gas spring 63. The needle valve 631 retracts towards the inflation pressure tube 633. The shelf 50 can be pressed along the -Z axis direction, causing the piston rod 632 of the gas spring 63 to retract along the -Z axis direction. The piston rod 632 can drive the sliding member 42. The sliding member 42 can drive the shelf 50 to descend to the first position along the -Z axis direction via the connecting member 51. The shelf 50 is rotated along the +W direction, causing the connector 51 to abut against the second shaft 425 of the sliding member 42. The needle valve 631 can extend away from the inflation pressure tube 633. The trigger member 61 can be spaced apart from the needle valve 631. The piston rod 632 of the gas spring 63 can be locked, thereby keeping the shelf 50 fixed in the first position.
