[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a refrigerator internal storage rack, including a storage plate 1, an extension plate 2, which is slidably installed in a smooth groove 101 opened on the right side of the storage plate 1. The extension plate 2 can slide to adjust the length of the storage rack. Multiple hinge plates 3 are evenly distributed laterally on the right side of the extension plate 2, and the hinge plates 3 close to the extension plate 2 are hinged to the extension plate 2 by hinges. The hinge plates 3 are hinged to each other by hinges. The hinge plates 3 can form a wave-shaped structure with a V-shaped groove. The V-shape is used to place bottled items.

[0028] This embodiment provides a refrigerator internal storage rack. The width of the entire storage rack can be changed by sliding the extension plate 2, thus making it suitable for refrigerators of different sizes. The hinge plates 3 are hinged to each other to form a wave-shaped structure with V-shaped grooves. The V-shaped structure has the advantages of stable support and preventing rolling when placing bottle-shaped items. In addition, if the storage rack is too long, the hinge plates 3 can form a wave-shaped structure to reduce the overall length of the storage rack, making it suitable for some smaller refrigerators.

[0029] The storage plate 1 has a smooth groove 102 on its left side, and the smooth groove 102 is slidably connected to the extension plate 8. The extension plate 8 can further improve the adjustment range of the storage rack, making the storage rack suitable for refrigerators of more sizes.

[0030] Both the first extension plate 2 and the second extension plate 8 are provided with racks 5, and the racks 5 are meshed with gears 6. The rotation of gears 6 can drive the racks 5 to move horizontally, thereby driving the first extension plate 2 and the second extension plate 8 to move horizontally and adjust the overall length of the shelf.

[0031] The storage plate 1 has horizontal grooves 103 on both the left and right sides for accommodating racks 5, and a groove 104 inside the storage plate 1 for accommodating gears 6.

[0032] The gear 6 is coaxially fixed with the rotating shaft 7 that passes through the front side wall of the storage plate 1, and the rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the storage plate 1. By rotating the rotating shaft 7, the gear 6 can be driven to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the extension plate 1 2 and the extension plate 2 8.

[0033] The shelf 1 has a knob in front of it, and the knob is fixed coaxially with the rotating shaft 7.

[0034] The hinge plate 3 has a connecting plate 4 on its right side, which is hinged to the rightmost hinge plate 3 via a hinge. The connecting plate 4 and the extension plate 8 are both provided with connecting suction cups 9. The shelf is connected to the inner wall of the refrigerator by connecting suction cups 9, which makes installation and disassembly convenient, does not require drilling, and is easy to operate.

[0035] It is understandable that the length of this utility model can be adjusted to suit refrigerators of different sizes. Secondly, the hinge plate 3 can form a wave-shaped structure during use, which is convenient for placing bottle-shaped items.

[0036] A specific application of the operation process in this embodiment is as follows: When the user rotates the knob, the extension plate 1 2 and the extension plate 2 8 can slide relative to the shelf 1, adjusting the distance between the connecting suction cups 9 so that the connecting suction cups 9 can adhere to the inner wall of refrigerators of different sizes, making it suitable for refrigerators of different sizes. The setting of the extension plate 2 8 will further increase the adjustable distance of the shelf. Under normal daily use, the hinge plate 3 is kept horizontal for placing items. When it is necessary to place bottle-shaped items, the user rotates the knob to move the extension plate 1 2 to the right, causing the hinge plate 3 to be squeezed. The hinge plate 3 will form a wave-shaped structure with a V-shaped groove. The bottle-shaped items are placed in the V-shaped groove, which can stably support the bottle body and effectively prevent the bottle-shaped items from rolling or tipping over when placed.
