[0044] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the application's specification are intended to have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the application pertains. The terminology used in the application's specification is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0045] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 The application provides a refrigerator expansion bracket 100, which is applied to a refrigerator and mainly used to form a temporary position in the refrigerator to place containers such as bottle holders and pots, so that users can have a temporary space to place objects when taking or storing multiple objects, save the time of taking or storing objects from the refrigerator to the workbench, and take or store multiple objects at the same time. When the user does not need to use the refrigerator expansion bracket 100, it can be folded, does not occupy the original storage space in the refrigerator, has a simple and flexible setting structure, and meets the user's demand for taking or storing objects and saves the user's time.
[0046] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the refrigerator expansion bracket 100 at least includes a driving member 10, a clamping plate 20, and a folding mechanism 30. The clamping plate 20 includes a first clamping plate 21 and a second clamping plate 22, and the second clamping plate 22 is arranged at intervals with the first clamping plate 21 and can form a containing space 23. The folding mechanism 30 is connected with the driving member 10, one end of the folding mechanism 30 is movably connected with the first clamping plate 21, and the other end is movably connected with the second clamping plate 22. The driving member 10 drives the folding mechanism 30 to unfold or fold, so that the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 correspondingly move away from or close to each other, so as to change the size of the containing space 23.
[0047] It needs to be explained that when the user takes and places the items that need to be placed at low temperature, especially multiple items, he often needs to take the items from the refrigerator or the processing platform multiple times, place them in the basin, and then take them out from the basin and place them on the processing platform or the refrigerator. The whole process has many steps and consumes a lot of time. The refrigerator door is open, which makes the cold air in the refrigerator dissipate, affects the preservation effect in a short time, and increases the power consumption. In the present application, the clamping plates 20 and the folding mechanism 30 are arranged, the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 are arranged at intervals and movably connected to the folding mechanism 30, and the accommodation space 23 is formed. The accommodation space 23 can be used to accommodate containers 200 such as drawers, bottle holders, and basins for the user to temporarily place items. At the same time, the folding mechanism 30 can be unfolded or folded by the driving member 10, and the size of the accommodation space 23 can be changed according to the user's needs, so that containers 200 of different sizes can be placed. Here, when the user needs to temporarily place the container 200 at the refrigerator, the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 can be driven by the driving member 10 to move away from each other to form the accommodation space 23, so that the container 200 can be placed on the accommodation space 23; when the user does not need to use the refrigerator expansion bracket 100, the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 can be driven by the driving member 10 to move close to each other to fold them. In this way, through the relatively simple and flexible structure, the user's temporary storage needs are met without occupying too much space in the refrigerator, the user's time is saved, the refrigerator door is not opened for a long time, and the energy consumption of the refrigerator is reduced.
[0048] Here, the driving member 10 is configured as a pneumatic cylinder or an oil cylinder, which can make telescopic reciprocating motion to drive the refrigerator expansion bracket 100 to extend or fold, meet the user's needs, and set the driving member 10 as a telescopic sleeve rod structure to cooperate with the relative movement between the clamping plates 20.
[0049] In an embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The first clamping plate 21 includes a first support plate 211 and a first folding plate 212, the first folding plate 212 is connected to the first support plate 211 and is arranged at an angle with the first folding plate 212 to form a first limiting step 213 with the first support plate 211. In this way, the first support plate 211 and the first folding plate 212 form the first limiting step 213, which can cooperate with the second clamping plate 22 to clamp and limit the container 200 for holding items, so as to temporarily store items.
[0050] For example, the angle range between the first support plate 211 and the first folding plate 212 is set to 30° to 90°, which can be 30°, 45°, 60°, 70°, 90°, etc., so that the first limiting step 213 formed between the two can stably position the container 200. Of course, the angle setting is not limited to this, and can be any value within the range, which can be determined according to the actual use requirements of the user or the production situation of the refrigerator expansion bracket 100.
[0051] Here, the first support plate 211 and the first folding plate 212 are set in an integrated structure to reduce the connection structure, increase the stability of the overall structure of the first clamping plate 21, and save the production cost.
[0052] Further, the first support plate 211 is recessed to form a first reinforcing portion 214 and a second reinforcing portion 215 corresponding to the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22, respectively. One end of the first clamping plate 21 is rotatably connected to the first reinforcing portion 214, and the second clamping plate 22 is rotatably connected to the second reinforcing portion 215. The two reinforcing portions can increase the structural strength of the first support plate 211, making it less likely to be damaged, and strengthen the connection structure between the folding mechanism 30 and the first support plate 211, further increasing the stability of the refrigerator expansion bracket structure.
[0053] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the second clamping plate 22 includes a second support plate 221 and a second folding plate 222. The second folding plate 222 is connected to the second support plate 221 and is arranged at an angle with the second support plate 221 to form a second limiting step 223 with the second support plate 221. The second folding plate 222 and the first folding plate 212 form a containing space 23. In this way, the second limiting step 223 cooperates with the first limiting step 213 to position the container 200 temporarily containing the articles, preventing the container 200 from tilting and the articles inside from spilling, and further increasing the stability of the structure.
[0054] Here, the angle range between the second folding plate 222 and the second support plate 221 is set to 30° to 90°, which corresponds to the angle range between the first support plate 211 and the first folding plate 212, and can be 30°, 45°, 60°, 70°, 90°, etc., so that the second limiting step 223 formed between the two can stably position the container 200. Of course, the angle setting is not limited to this, and can be any value within the range, which can be determined according to the actual use requirements of the user or the production situation of the refrigerator expansion bracket 100.
[0055] Further, the second support plate 221 is also provided with a third fold plate 224, which is located on the side of the second support plate 221 away from the second fold plate 222. In this way, the refrigerator expansion bracket 100 can be assembled and fixed to the refrigerator door through the third fold plate 224, which is convenient for users to use.
[0056] Here, a plurality of fixing holes 2241 are provided on the third fold plate 224, and screws can be passed through the fixing holes 2241 to connect and fix the third fold plate 224 to the refrigerator door or other positions of the refrigerator, so that the refrigerator expansion bracket 100 can be stably connected with the refrigerator, further preventing the structure from tilting and falling off to spill the articles.
[0057] For example, the second support plate 221, the second fold plate 222, and the third fold plate 224 are configured in an integrated manner. It can be understood that the integrated arrangement can make the structure connection of the second clamping plate 22 simpler, increase the structural stability of the refrigerator expansion bracket 100, and save production costs.
[0058] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The folding mechanism 30 includes a first folding rod 31 and a second folding rod 32, both ends of the first folding rod 31 are hingedly connected with the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 respectively, both ends of the second folding rod 32 are hingedly connected with the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 respectively; one end of the driving member 10 is mounted on the second clamping plate 22, and the other end is connected with the first folding rod 31 or the second folding rod 32. The hinged connection structure is more flexible, adjustable and stable, so that the folding mechanism 30 can be unfolded or folded at will; the two ends of the driving member 10 are respectively mounted on the clamping plate 20 and the folding mechanism 30, so as to drive the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 to separate or approach, thereby realizing the folding and stretching of the refrigerator expansion bracket 100.
[0059] Further, the first folding rod 31 and the second folding rod 32 form a parallelogram with the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22. In this way, the angular displacement, angular velocity and angular acceleration between the two clamping plates and the two folding rods are always equal, so that the first folding rod 31 and the second folding rod 32 always remain on the same horizontal line when the folding mechanism 30 is unfolded or folded, avoiding the inclination of the refrigerator expansion bracket 100, and further increasing the stability of the structure.
[0060] As a preferred, a through hole 33 is provided on the first folding rod 31 and / or the second folding rod 32, so that the folding mechanism 30 can be fixed to the clamping plate 20 through the screw.
[0061] The application also provides a refrigerator comprising the refrigerator expansion bracket 100 according to any one of the above embodiments.
[0062] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0063] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
