[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator manufacturing and processing technology, and in particular to an assembly structure for a refrigerator glass shelf. Background Technology

[0002] A refrigerator is a refrigeration device that maintains a constant low temperature; it is also a consumer product that keeps food or other items at a constant low temperature. Inside the refrigerator are a compressor, an ice maker, a cabinet or box for freezing ice, and a storage box with a refrigeration unit.

[0003] During refrigerator transportation, glass shelves are often easily damaged due to movement, which may even affect the safety of the entire refrigerator. To ensure the safety of the refrigerator during transportation, the common practice is to use packaging materials such as tape and foam to fully pack and secure the refrigerator, thereby reducing the risk of the glass shelves shifting or falling. However, although this approach is effective, it inevitably increases the overall cost of the product. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the assembly structure of the existing refrigerator glass shelf, this utility model is proposed.

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an assembly structure for a refrigerator glass shelf, which is suitable for solving the problem that the glass shelf is easily damaged and affects safety during refrigerator transportation. Although the commonly used tape and foam packaging and fixing is effective, it increases costs.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an assembly structure for a refrigerator glass shelf, comprising:

[0008] The main unit includes a refrigerator body and a door that is matched and installed with the refrigerator body, and a handle is installed on one side of the door;

[0009] The limiting unit includes fixed blocks symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the refrigerator body. A sliding groove is provided on one side of each of the two sets of fixed blocks, and a glass shelf is slidably connected in the sliding groove. A slot is symmetrically provided at the bottom end of each of the two sets of sliding grooves. A locking block is symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom end of the glass shelf, and the locking block and the slot are engaged. A pressing structure is provided at the top of each of the two sets of sliding grooves.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the assembly structure of the refrigerator glass shelf described in this utility model, the pressing structure includes mounting grooves opened at the top of two sets of sliding grooves, several sets of springs are installed in the inner cavity of the two sets of mounting grooves, pressing blocks are installed at the bottom of the several sets of springs, and the pressing blocks are slidably connected to the mounting grooves. The inner cavity of the two sets of mounting grooves is provided with a guide structure.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the assembly structure of the refrigerator glass shelf described in this utility model, the guide structure includes guide grooves symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the mounting groove, a guide block is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the guide groove, and one side of the guide block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower pressure block.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the assembly structure of the refrigerator glass shelf described in this utility model, the bottom two sides of the pressing block are set as arc-shaped, and the top of the pressing block is located in the mounting groove.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4 This invention provides an assembly structure for a refrigerator glass shelf, comprising a main body unit 100 and a limiting unit 200.

[0027] The main unit 100 includes a refrigerator body 101 and a door 102 that is matched and installed with the refrigerator body 101. A handle 103 is installed on one side of the door 102. This is an existing structure and does not require further explanation.

[0028] The limiting unit 200 includes fixing blocks 201 symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the refrigerator body 101. A sliding groove 203 is provided on one side of each fixing block 201, and a glass shelf 202 is slidably connected within the sliding groove 203. A locking groove 205 is symmetrically provided at the bottom end of each of the two sliding grooves 203. Locking blocks 204 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom end of the glass shelf 202, and the locking blocks 204 engage with the locking grooves 205. A pressing structure is provided at the top of each of the two sliding grooves 203. Holding the glass shelf 202 by hand, the two edges of the glass shelf 202 are precisely aligned with the sliding grooves 203 inside the two fixing blocks 201, and then smoothly slid into them. During this process, it is necessary to ensure that the locking block 204 on the glass shelf 202 always slides along the bottom of the slide groove 203 until the glass shelf 202 is completely embedded in the slide groove 203. Subsequently, the glass shelf 202 will fall naturally under the action of gravity, and the locking block 204 at its bottom will be inserted into the locking groove 205 at the bottom of the slide groove 203. This step achieves the initial fixation of the glass shelf 202. At this time, the pressing structure applies downward pressure to the glass shelf 202 to further stabilize the glass shelf 202. This solves the problem that glass shelves are easily damaged and affect safety during refrigerator transportation. It is commonly used to pack and fix them with tape and foam, which is effective but increases costs.

[0029] The pressing structure includes mounting grooves 206 formed at the top of two sets of sliding grooves 203. Several sets of springs 207 are installed inside the cavities of the two sets of mounting grooves 206. A pressing block 208 is installed at the bottom end of each set of springs 207, and the pressing block 208 is slidably connected to the mounting groove 206. A guide structure is provided inside the cavities of the two sets of mounting grooves 206. When the glass layer 202 slides along the sliding grooves 203, it contacts the pressing block 208 and causes it to move upwards. During this process, the rising of the pressing block 208 compresses the springs 207. The spring thus stores elastic potential energy. Once the glass shelf 202 is fully slid into the groove 203 and begins to move downwards into place, the spring 207 will use its stored elastic potential energy to push the lower pressure block 208 downwards, thereby applying downward pressure to the glass shelf 202 and achieving stable positioning. This design not only ensures the stability of the glass shelf 202 during installation, but also provides an additional fixing effect through the elastic force of the spring 207. When the lower pressure block 208 moves, the guide structure ensures its stability during movement.

[0030] The guiding structure includes guide grooves 209 symmetrically formed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 206. A guide block 210 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the guide groove 209, and one side of the guide block 210 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pressing block 208. During the movement of the pressing block 208, it will drive the guide block 210 to slide smoothly in the preset guide groove 209. This design not only ensures the stability of the movement of the pressing block 208, but also effectively prevents the pressing block 208 from accidentally coming out of its mounting groove 206. Through this structural arrangement, we not only ensure the smoothness of operation, but also enhance the safety and reliability of the overall structure.

[0031] The bottom sides of the pressure block 208 are set to be arc-shaped, and the top of the pressure block 208 is located in the mounting groove 206. When the glass plate 202 moves, it is convenient to squeeze the pressure block 208 to move upward.

[0032] The refrigerator body 101 is symmetrically equipped with support legs at the bottom, and the bottom of the support legs is equipped with rubber pads. The support legs can ensure that the refrigerator is balanced on a level ground and prevent the refrigerator from tilting or shaking, while the rubber pads can further enhance this stability.

[0033] The glass shelf 202 consists of an upper edge, a lower edge, and a glass panel. The upper and lower edges are interlocked, making it easy to remove the glass panel and clean the upper edge, lower edge, and glass panel.

[0034] During use, the glass shelf 202 is held by hand, and its two sides are precisely aligned with the grooves 203 inside the two sets of fixing blocks 201. Then, it is slid in smoothly. During this process, it is necessary to ensure that the locking blocks 204 on the glass shelf 202 always slide along the bottom of the grooves 203 until the glass shelf 202 is completely embedded in the grooves 203. Subsequently, the glass shelf 202 will fall naturally under the action of gravity, and the locking blocks 204 at its bottom will be inserted into the locking slots 205 at the bottom of the grooves 203. This step achieves the initial fixation of the glass shelf 202. At this time, the pressing structure applies downward pressure to the glass shelf 202 to further stabilize the glass shelf 202. This solves the problem that glass shelves are easily damaged and affect safety during refrigerator transportation. It is often used to pack and fix them with tape and foam, which is effective but increases costs.

[0035] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
