[0041] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0042] This application provides a storage device 1.

[0043] It should be noted that the storage device 1 in this embodiment can be understood as a refrigeration storage device in a broad sense, including but not limited to refrigerators, freezers, display cases, beverage cabinets, wine cabinets, refrigerated display cases, and refrigerated vending machines. The storage device 1 has a variety of structural forms and a wide range of applications.

[0044] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 The storage device 1 according to an embodiment of this application is described.

[0045] Unless otherwise specified, the front-back, left-right, and up-down directions of storage device 1 can be referred to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the storage device 1 includes: an inner liner 10 and a shelf 20.

[0047] like Figures 4-7 As shown, the inner liner 10 forms a compartment 111. The side wall of the compartment 111 is provided with a plurality of slot groups 121 arranged at intervals along the height direction. Each slot group 121 includes a first slot 1211 near the opening of the compartment 111 and a second slot 1212 away from the opening of the compartment 111. The side wall of the compartment 111 is provided with a channel 122, which communicates with the second slot 1212 or the first slot 1211 in the plurality of slot groups 121. The shelf 20 has a first support leg 221 for engaging with the first slot 1211 and a second support leg 231 for engaging with the second slot 1212. One of the first support leg 221 and the second support leg 231 is adapted to move along the channel 122.

[0048] The inner liner 10 serves as the main structure of the storage device 1, defining a compartment 111 for accommodating and storing items. The shape and size of the compartment 111 can be designed according to actual needs.

[0049] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the inner liner 10 can be a cube with one side open, that is, the compartment 111 can be a space with one side open. In other words, the compartment 111 has an opening on the front side so that the user can open the door to take out or put in items.

[0050] The shelves 20 are provided in one or more ways, where more means two or more, to divide the room 111 into multiple layers, increase space utilization, and thus be able to place and store more items. In this embodiment, the number and specific distribution of the shelves 20 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the left and right walls of the compartment 111 are provided with multiple slot groups 121 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. Specifically, the multiple slot groups 121 can be regarded as multiple adjustment positions corresponding to different heights. When the shelf 20 cooperates with a certain slot group 121 through the first support leg 221 and the second support leg 231, it is equivalent to the shelf 20 switching to the adjustment position matched by the slot group 121, that is, the shelf 20 is raised or lowered to the height corresponding to the adjustment position.

[0052] Within the same slot group 121, the lower sidewalls of the first slot 1211 and the second slot 1212 can be substantially flush. Multiple slot groups 121 on the left side wall and multiple slot groups 121 on the right side wall can be symmetrically arranged, meaning their positions, shapes, and dimensions are identical. Thus, when the shelf 20 is supported on a slot group 121, the shelf 20 can remain essentially horizontal, maintaining the stability of the placed items and improving the stability and lifespan of the shelf 20.

[0053] In this embodiment, "multiple" means two or more. The number of card slot groups 121 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0054] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below from two different implementation perspectives.

[0055] Firstly, the channel 122 is connected to the second slot 1212 in the multiple slot groups 121, and the second support foot 231 is adapted to move along the channel 122.

[0056] In this embodiment, such as Figures 4-7 As shown, the user can move the shelf 20 to remove the first support leg 221 of the shelf 20 from the first slot 1211 and move the second support leg 231 of the shelf 20 from the second slot 1212 to the channel 122, thereby realizing the free lifting and lowering of the shelf 20 along the channel 122 and thus realizing the height adjustment of the shelf 20.

[0057] Secondly, the channel 122 is connected to the first slot 1211 in the multiple slot groups 121, and the first support foot 221 is adapted to move along the channel 122.

[0058] In this embodiment, the user can move the shelf 20 to push the second support leg 231 of the shelf 20 away from the second slot 1212 and move the first support leg 221 of the shelf 20 from the first slot 1211 to the channel 122, thereby realizing the free lifting and lowering of the shelf 20 along the channel 122 and thus realizing the height adjustment of the shelf 20.

[0059] In actual implementation, such as Figures 4-7As shown, taking the connection between channel 122 and multiple second slots 1212 as an example, when installing the shelf 20, align the first support leg 221 with the first slot 1211 and the second support leg 231 with the second slot 1212 and gently push them in to complete the initial installation. When the user needs to adjust the height of the shelf 20, the user can hold the shelf 20 and move it, thereby moving the first support leg 221 and the second support leg 231 away from the current slot group 121. At this time, the second support leg 231 enters the channel 122 and is at the initial height. Operate the shelf 20 to raise or lower to the target height, and then push the shelf 20 again, thereby moving the first support leg 221 and the second support leg 231 to cooperate with the slot group 121 corresponding to the target height. At this time, the first support leg 221 is inserted into the first slot 1211 of the slot group 121 corresponding to the target height, and the second support leg 231 is inserted into the second slot 1212 of the slot group 121 corresponding to the target height. In this way, the height adjustment of the shelf 20 can be completed. The whole process is simple and easy to operate, without the need for complicated pulling out or hanging actions, allowing users to easily adjust the shelf layout according to their storage needs at any time and make efficient use of storage space.

[0060] Understandably, the presence of multiple slots 121 and channels 122 on the sidewalls of the inner liner 10 allows the shelf 20 to be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the items, enabling more precise height adjustment. Whether it's tall bottles and jars or short, loose items, a suitable placement height can be found, fully meeting diverse storage needs. This allows users to rationally allocate storage space based on the size and storage requirements of different items, avoiding space waste and improving space utilization. Furthermore, unlike traditional storage devices 1, users do not need to completely remove the shelf 20 and reinstall it to adjust its height. With this structure, users only need to move the shelf 20 slightly within the compartment 111, allowing the first support leg 221 or the second support leg 231 to rise and fall within the channel 122 to complete the adjustment. This design simplifies the adjustment process, saves adjustment time, and significantly improves the daily user experience. On the other hand, thanks to the significantly shortened adjustable distance, multiple shelves 20 can be placed closely side by side and packaged together during factory packaging. This design simplifies the entire packaging process of the storage equipment 1, reduces the use of packaging materials, and at the same time improves transportation strength and reduces transportation costs.

[0061] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment achieves a more refined height adjustment mechanism through the arrangement of the multiple slot groups 121 and channels 122, enabling users to adjust the position of the shelves 20 more flexibly within a limited space, thereby significantly improving space utilization efficiency. Moreover, height adjustment can be completed without fully removing the shelves 20, making the adjustment process simpler and faster, greatly optimizing adjustment efficiency, and thus significantly improving the user experience. In addition, multiple shelves 20 can be placed side by side for sorting, packaging, and transportation, improving the overall transportation strength and stability while simplifying the packaging process of the whole machine, thereby reducing the use of packaging materials and reducing transportation costs.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the channel 122 is located between the first slot 1211 and the second slot 1212, and the slots in the second slot 1212 and the first slot 1211 that are not connected to the channel 122 are open in a direction away from the channel 122.

[0063] In this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the front sides of multiple first slots 1211 are all open, and the channel 122 is located in front of the second slots 1212, with the front sides of multiple second slots 1212 communicating with the channel 122. In this case, when the user needs to adjust the height of the shelf 20, the user can hold the shelf 20 and pull it outward, thereby moving the first support leg 221 and the second support leg 231 forward until they disengage from the current slot group 121. At this time, the second support leg 231 directly enters the channel 122 and is at the initial height. The user can then raise and lower the shelf 20 to the target height, and then gently push the shelf 20 inward, thereby moving the first support leg 221 and the second support leg 231 backward to engage with the slot group 121 corresponding to the target height. At this time, the first support leg 221 engages in the first slot 1211 of the slot group 121 corresponding to the target height, and the second support leg 231 engages in the second slot 1212 of the slot group 121 corresponding to the target height. This completes the height adjustment of the shelf 20.

[0064] In other embodiments, the channel 122 is located behind the first slot 1211, and the rear sides of the plurality of first slots 1211 are all connected to the channel 122, while the rear sides of the plurality of second slots 1212 are all open. In this case, when the user needs to adjust the height of the shelf 20, the user can hold the shelf 20 and push it inward, thereby moving the first support leg 221 and the second support leg 231 backward until they are disengaged from the current slot group 121. At this time, the first support leg 221 directly enters the channel 122 and is at the initial height. The user can then raise and lower the shelf 20 to the target height, and then gently pull the shelf 20 outward, thereby moving the first support leg 221 and the second support leg 231 forward to engage with the slot group 121 corresponding to the target height. At this time, the first support leg 221 engages in the first slot 1211 of the slot group 121 corresponding to the target height, and the second support leg 231 engages in the second slot 1212 of the slot group 121 corresponding to the target height. This completes the height adjustment of the shelf 20.

[0065] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment provides a structural basis for the height adjustment process of the shelf 20 through the spatial layout design of the above-mentioned channel 122, the first slot 1211 and the second slot 1212, and shortens the movement path of the shelf 20 when adjusting its height as much as possible, thereby simplifying the height adjustment process of the shelf 20 to the greatest extent.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the channel 122 is open and the bottom of the channel 122 is closed along the vertical direction.

[0067] Understandably, the open top design of the channel 122 allows users to easily insert or remove the shelf 20 from above without opening any additional closing structure. This provides a convenient entry and exit point for the first support leg 221 or the second support leg 231, greatly simplifying the installation process of the shelf 20. The closed bottom design of the channel 122 acts as a safety feature, preventing the first support leg 221 or the second support leg 231 from accidentally protruding from the bottom of the channel 122. This maintains the stability of the shelf 20 during installation, adjustment, and daily use, reducing the risk of the shelf 20 tilting or even falling and damaging items due to the first support leg 221 or the second support leg 231 slipping.

[0068] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment, by setting the channel 122 as an open top and closed bottom structure, provides a convenient entrance and exit for the first support leg 221 or the second support leg 231 to enter and exit, greatly simplifies the installation process of the shelf 20, and avoids the situation where the first support leg 221 or the second support leg 231 accidentally protrudes from the bottom of the channel 122, thereby maintaining the stability of the shelf 20 during installation, adjustment and daily use.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner liner 10 includes: an inner liner body 11 and a protrusion 12.

[0070] The protrusion 12 is located on the side wall of the inner liner body 11 and protrudes inward, forming a slot assembly 121 and a channel 122.

[0071] The inner liner body 11 is the main structural part of the storage device 1, forming a compartment 111 for storing items. The inner liner body 11 can be made of a strong and durable material, such as metal, plastic or composite material, without limitation.

[0072] The protrusion 12 protrudes toward the compartment 111 and is disposed on the side wall of the inner liner body 11, thereby creating a certain spatial difference between the protrusion 12 and the inner liner body 11, which allows the slot assembly 121 and the channel 122 to be formed. The protrusion 12 can be made of a strong and durable material, such as metal, plastic or composite material, without limitation.

[0073] Thus, the inner liner body 11 provides the basic structure and storage space of the storage device 1. The protrusion 12, through its inward protrusion design, forms the slot group 121 and the channel 122, providing stable support and flexible adjustment space for the shelf 20.

[0074] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment has an inner liner 10 configured as described above, consisting of an inner liner body 11 and a protrusion 12. The protrusion 12 protrudes directly from the side wall of the inner liner body 11 to form a slot group 121 and a channel 122. Compared with adding additional components to construct the slot group 121 and the channel 122, this design does not require reserving extra assembly space, reduces space waste caused by structural complexity, improves space utilization, and reduces production costs.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, the protrusion 12 also includes a first limiting protrusion 1213, which protrudes upward and is disposed on the lower side wall of the first slot 1211, and the first limiting protrusion 1213 is disposed close to the opening of the first slot 1211.

[0076] like Figures 4-6As shown, the first limiting boss 1213 is used to limit the displacement of the first support foot 221 in the front-rear direction, so as to reduce the risk of the first support foot 221 disengaging from the opening into the first slot 1211. The first limiting boss 1213 is spaced apart from the upper side wall of the first slot 1211 by a certain distance, thereby reserving enough space for user adjustment.

[0077] The shape of the first limiting boss 1213 can typically be rectangular or semi-circular, and the size of the first limiting boss 1213 can be determined based on the design of the size of the first support foot 221 and the size of the first slot 1211, so as to take into account both the basic limiting effect and the adjustment space requirements. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0078] Specifically, the height of the first limiting boss 1213 may not exceed the height of the first supporting foot 221. For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, the height of the first limiting boss 1213 can be less than the height of the first support foot 221. For example, in some other embodiments, the height of the first limiting boss 1213 can be equal to the height of the first support foot 221.

[0079] The surface of the first limiting boss 1213 needs to be designed to be flat and smooth in order to reduce scratches on the first support foot 221 during height adjustment.

[0080] Understandably, the first limiting boss 1213 not only ensures that the first support leg 221 can smoothly slide into the first slot 1211 during the initial installation of the shelf 20, but also plays a good limiting role in daily use, improving the stability of the shelf 20 after installation. With the support of the first limiting boss 1213, the locking function of the first support leg 221 in the first slot 1211 is further strengthened. Specifically, the first slot 1211 can initially place the first support leg 221 based on its own depth and width. After adding the first limiting boss 1213 near the opening, a more rigorous locking system can be formed, which can more stably and reliably restrict the first support leg 221 within the first slot 1211.

[0081] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment, through the setting of the first limiting boss 1213, provides a clear limiting function for the first support leg 221 of the shelf 20 at the first slot 1211. When the first support leg 221 is assembled into the first slot 1211, the first limiting boss 1213 can effectively restrict the excessive movement or sliding of the first support leg 221, so that the shelf 20 can remain stable during daily use, thereby reducing the risk of stored items falling due to the instability of the shelf 20.

[0082] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-6As shown, the protrusion 12 also includes a second limiting protrusion 1214, which protrudes upward and is disposed on the lower side wall of the second slot 1212, and is disposed close to the opening of the second slot 1212.

[0083] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the second limiting boss 1214 is used to limit the displacement of the second support foot 231 in the front-rear direction, so as to reduce the risk of the second support foot 231 disengaging from the opening into the second slot 1212. The second limiting boss 1214 is spaced apart from the upper side wall of the second slot 1212 by a certain distance, thereby reserving enough space for user adjustment.

[0084] The shape of the second limiting boss 1214 can typically be rectangular or semi-circular, and the size of the second limiting boss 1214 can be determined based on the design of the size of the second support foot 231 and the size of the second slot 1212, so as to take into account both the basic limiting effect and the adjustment space requirements. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0085] Specifically, the height of the second limiting boss 1214 may not exceed the height of the second supporting foot 231. For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, the height of the second limiting boss 1214 can be less than the height of the second support foot 231. For example, in some other embodiments, the height of the second limiting boss 1214 can be equal to the height of the second support foot 231.

[0086] The surface of the second limiting boss 1214 needs to be designed to be flat and smooth in order to reduce scratches on the second support foot 231 during height adjustment.

[0087] Understandably, the second limiting boss 1214 not only ensures that the second support leg 231 can smoothly slide into the second slot 1212 during the initial installation of the shelf 20, but also plays a good limiting role in daily use, improving the stability of the shelf 20 after installation. With the support of the second limiting boss 1214, the second slot 1212 further strengthens the locking function of the second support leg 231. Specifically, the second slot 1212 can initially place the second support leg 231 based on its own depth and width. After adding the second limiting boss 1214 near the opening, a more rigorous locking system can be formed, which can more stably and reliably restrict the second support leg 231 within the second slot 1212.

[0088] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment, through the setting of the second limiting boss 1214, provides a clear limiting function for the second support foot 231 of the shelf 20 at the second slot 1212. When the second support foot 231 is assembled into the second slot 1212, the second limiting boss 1214 can effectively restrict the excessive movement or sliding of the second support foot 231, so that the shelf 20 can remain stable during daily use, thereby reducing the risk of stored items falling due to the instability of the shelf 20.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the top surface of the protrusion 12 includes a first support surface 1215 near the opening of the compartment 111, a second support surface 1216 away from the opening of the compartment 111, and a connecting surface 1217. The first support surface 1215 is used to support the first support leg 221, and the second support surface 1216 is used to support the second support leg 231. One side of the connecting surface 1217 is connected to the channel 122, and the other side is connected to either the first support surface 1215 or the second support surface 1216. The height of the first support surface 1215 and the second support surface 1216 is lower than the height of the connecting surface 1217 to form a stepped surface.

[0090] In this embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the first support surface 1215 and the second support surface 1216 can be regarded as adjustment positions corresponding to the maximum height. Multiple first slots 1211 are evenly arranged below the first support surface 1215, and multiple second slots 1212 are evenly arranged below the second support surface 1216. In this way, the structure of the protrusion 12 itself can be fully utilized, and the range of height adjustment can be expanded. When the user does not have a specific adjustment requirement, the user can directly push the shelf 20 slowly along the top surface of the protrusion 12 until the first support foot 221 of the shelf 20 is supported on the first support surface 1215 and the second support foot 231 of the shelf 20 is supported on the second support surface 1216. This completes the quick assembly of the shelf 20. At this time, the shelf 20 is at the maximum height position. When disassembly is required, the shelf 20 can be lifted and removed directly. During the assembly process described above, the second support leg 231 can move along the connecting surface 1217. The surface of the connecting surface 1217 is smooth, which facilitates the smooth passage of the second support leg 231, reduces friction, and allows the assembly action to proceed along a predetermined path. Since the height of the first support surface 1215 and the second support surface 1216 is lower than the height of the connecting surface 1217 to form a stepped surface, after the shelf 20 is placed in position, the stepped surface can resist a certain degree of horizontal external force. In other words, when the shelf 20 tends to move backward, the stepped surface can abut against the rear end of the first support leg 221, preventing the first support leg 221 from accidentally sliding out of the first support surface 1215, thus enhancing the stability of the shelf 20 installation.

[0091] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment, through the design of the first support surface 1215 and the second support surface 1216, makes full use of the structural characteristics of the protrusion 12 itself, and uses the top surface of the protrusion 12 to form the maximum height position, thereby expanding the range of height adjustment. At the same time, when the user does not have a specific adjustment need, the user does not need cumbersome operation steps, but can complete the simplest assembly of the shelf 20 by simply pushing it in, placing the shelf 20 at the maximum height position, which greatly shortens the assembly time. Without affecting the height adjustment function, it meets the need for rapid assembly. In addition, the height difference between the connecting surface 1217 and the first support surface 1215 forms a stepped surface, reducing the probability of the first support foot 221 accidentally sliding backward from the first support surface 1215, and enhancing the stability of the shelf 20 when supported on the first support surface 1215 and the second support surface 1216.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the first support surface 1215 has an upwardly protruding third limiting boss 1218 near the edge of the opening of the compartment 111.

[0093] like Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the third limiting boss 1218, together with the aforementioned stepped surface, restricts the displacement of the first support foot 221 in the front-to-back direction, reducing the risk of the first support foot 221 detaching from the first support surface 1215.

[0094] The shape of the third limiting boss 1218 can typically be rectangular or semi-circular, and the size of the third limiting boss 1218 can be designed according to the size of the first support foot 221. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0095] Specifically, the height of the third limiting boss 1218 may not exceed the height of the first supporting foot 221. For example, in some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the height of the third limiting boss 1218 can be less than the height of the first support foot 221. For example, in some other embodiments, the height of the third limiting boss 1218 can be equal to the height of the first support foot 221.

[0096] The surface of the third limiting boss 1218 needs to be designed to be flat and smooth in order to reduce scratches on the first support foot 221 during assembly and adjustment.

[0097] It is understandable that, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the third limiting boss 1218 can not only prevent the first support leg 221 from sliding smoothly to the first support surface 1215 during the initial installation of the shelf 20, but also play a good limiting role in daily use, improving the stability of the shelf 20 after installation. The third limiting boss 1218, the first support surface 1215, and the stepped surface can form a groove structure. The first support surface 1215 can be the bottom wall of the groove structure, the third limiting boss 1218 can form the front side wall of the groove structure, and the stepped surface can be the rear side wall of the groove structure. After the shelf 20 is assembled, the first support leg 221 can be stably and reliably restricted within the groove structure.

[0098] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment, through the setting of the third limiting boss 1218, provides a clear limiting function for the first support foot 221 of the shelf 20 at the first support surface 1215. When the first support foot 221 is supported on the first support surface 1215, on the basis of the limiting of the step surface, the excessive movement or sliding of the first support foot 221 at the first support surface 1215 is further restricted, so that the shelf 20 can remain stable during daily use, thereby reducing the risk of stored items falling due to the instability of the shelf 20.

[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the second support surface 1216 has an upwardly protruding fourth limiting boss 1219 near the edge of the opening of the compartment 111.

[0100] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the fourth limiting boss 1219 is used to limit the forward displacement of the second support foot 231 to reduce the risk of the second support foot 231 dislodging from the second support surface 1216.

[0101] The shape of the fourth limiting boss 1219 can typically be rectangular or semi-circular, and the size of the fourth limiting boss 1219 can be designed according to the size of the second support foot 231. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0102] Specifically, the height of the fourth limiting boss 1219 may not exceed the height of the second supporting foot 231. For example, in some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the height of the fourth limiting boss 1219 can be less than the height of the second support foot 231. For example, in some other embodiments, the height of the fourth limiting boss 1219 can be equal to the height of the second support foot 231.

[0103] The surface of the fourth limiting boss 1219 needs to be designed to be flat and smooth in order to reduce scratches on the second support foot 231 during assembly and adjustment.

[0104] Understandably, the fourth limiting boss 1219 not only ensures that the second support leg 231 can smoothly slide to the second support surface 1216 during the initial installation of the shelf 20, but also plays a good limiting role in daily use, improving the stability of the shelf 20 after installation. The fourth limiting boss 1219 and the second support surface 1216 can form a groove structure, wherein the second support surface 1216 can be the bottom wall of the groove structure, and the fourth limiting boss 1219 can form the front side wall of the groove structure. After the shelf 20 is assembled in place, the second support leg 231 can be stably and reliably confined within the groove structure.

[0105] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment, through the setting of the fourth limiting boss 1219, provides a clear limiting function for the second support foot 231 of the shelf 20 at the second support surface 1216. When the second support foot 231 is supported on the second support surface 1216, it restricts the excessive forward movement or sliding of the second support foot 231. Combined with the setting of the aforementioned third limiting boss 1218 and the stepped surface, it maintains the positional stability of the shelf 20 after it is supported on the first support surface 1215 and the second support surface 1216 as much as possible, and minimizes the risk of stored items falling due to the instability of the shelf 20.

[0106] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below from two different implementation perspectives.

[0107] I. In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner liner body 11 and the protrusion 12 are an integrated structure.

[0108] Specifically, the inner liner body 11 and the protrusion 12 can be integrated by adsorption molding, integral injection molding or casting molding, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0109] It should be noted that the adjustable dimensions between two adjacent card slot groups 121 can be limited by the minimum distance between them according to the adsorption, foaming and other processes, so as to minimize the adjustable dimensions and maximize the adjustment accuracy, thereby allowing users to have more usable space.

[0110] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment, through the design of the inner liner body 11 and the protrusion 12 as an integrated structure, avoids the connection gaps or weak points between the inner liner body 11 and the protrusion 12, which allows the stress to be distributed more evenly on the entire structure, reduces the risk of damage caused by loose connections or component displacement, significantly enhances the overall stability of the storage device 1, and at the same time reduces the use of parts, thereby simplifying the assembly process and reducing production costs.

[0111] 2. In some embodiments, the inner liner body 11 is detachably connected to the protrusion 12.

[0112] Specifically, the connection method between the inner liner body 11 and the protrusion 12 may include, but is not limited to, snap-fit, threaded connection or magnetic connection, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0113] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment sets the inner liner body 11 and the protrusion 12 as separate and detachably connected. If the slot group 121, channel 122 or other key structures on the protrusion 12 are worn or damaged due to long-term use, the detachable connection method allows the protrusion 12 to be removed separately for repair or replacement without replacing the entire inner liner 10. This greatly reduces maintenance costs, shortens maintenance time, and facilitates daily cleaning of the protrusion 12, maintaining the hygiene inside the storage device 1, reducing odors and bacterial growth, and helping to better preserve items.

[0114] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-2 and Figure 5 As shown, one end of the protrusion 12 near the opening of the compartment 111 is spaced apart from the opening of the inner liner body 11, and the other end of the protrusion 12 away from the opening of the compartment 111 extends to the corner covering the inner liner body 11.

[0115] Understandably, since the end of the protrusion 12 near the opening of the compartment 111 is spaced apart from the opening of the inner liner body 11, a suitable installation position is left for the bottle holder. Considering that the bottle holder is usually used to place bottles and jars, if the protrusion 12 extends to this point, it will hinder the installation of the bottle holder and may also damage the overall appearance. After leaving a gap, the bottle holder is installed neatly. From the outside, the layout of the opening area is simple and beautiful, which improves the overall visual experience of the storage device 1. Since the other end of the protrusion 12, away from the opening of the compartment 111, extends to the corner covering the inner liner body 11, in some storage devices 1 that use foaming technology to improve insulation performance, the foaming material needs to be filled into every corner between the inner liner 10 and the outer shell to form a complete insulation layer. The extension of the protrusion 12 here can guide the foaming material to fill evenly, so as to avoid voids at the corners and maintain the uniformity of the insulation effect. In addition, during daily cleaning, the corners of the inner liner 10 are often the most difficult areas to clean. The protrusion 12 covers the corners, reducing the gaps and dead corners where dirt accumulates. Whether wiped with a damp cloth or rinsed with water, it is easier to clean the dirt, keep the inside of the storage device 1 clean, which is conducive to storing various items and extending the service life of the storage device 1.

[0116] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment, through the layout design of the protrusion 12 on the inner liner body 11, on the one hand, separates the front end of the protrusion 12 from the liner opening of the inner liner body 11, which can leave a suitable installation position for the bottle holder and improve the overall visual appeal of the storage device 1. On the other hand, extending the rear end of the protrusion 12 to cover the corner of the inner liner body 11 guides the foaming material to fill evenly, optimizes the foaming effect, reduces cleaning dead corners, maintains the hygiene inside the storage device 1, is conducive to storing various items, and extends the service life of the storage device 1.

[0117] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the shelf 20 includes: a shelf 21, a first trim 22, and a second trim 23.

[0118] The first trim strip 22 covers the edge of the shelf 21 near the opening of the compartment 111, and both ends of the first trim strip 22 extend out of the shelf 21 to form a first support leg 221; the second trim strip 23 covers the edge of the shelf 21 away from the opening of the compartment 111, and both ends of the second trim strip 23 extend out of the shelf 21 to form a second support leg 231.

[0119] In other words, the first trim 22 covers the front edge of the shelf 21, and the left and right ends of the first trim 22 form first support feet 221; the second trim 23 covers the rear edge of the shelf 21, and the left and right ends of the second trim 23 form second support feet 231.

[0120] Among them, such as Figure 8 As shown, the shelf 21 is the main part of the shelf 20, which is used to directly carry and support the stored items. The shelf 21 is arranged horizontally, providing a stable platform for placing items. The first trim 22 serves to decorate and protect the front edge of the shelf 21. The second trim 23 serves to decorate and protect the rear edge of the shelf 21.

[0121] It should be noted that the material of the shelf 21 includes, but is not limited to, glass, and the material of the first trim 22 and the second trim 23 includes, but is not limited to, metal or hard plastic. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0122] For example, the shelf 21 can be a glass partition, a tempered glass partition, or an acrylic partition, etc.

[0123] In actual design, the first side trim 24 and / or the second side trim 24 can be locally widened and thickened according to factors such as the weight of the shelf 21. For example, the first support leg 221 and / or the second support leg 231 can be widened and thickened to meet the overall strength requirements.

[0124] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment has a structural design in which the first decorative strip 22 extends to form a first support foot 221 and the second decorative strip 23 extends to form a second support foot 231. On the one hand, compared with the support foot structure directly machined on the shelf 21, it increases the contact area with the slot assembly 121, which can more evenly distribute the weight of the items carried by the shelf 20, reduce local pressure, and make the shelf 20 more stable in the slot, thereby effectively reducing the risk of the shelf 20 shaking and shifting. On the other hand, it does not require complicated fixing devices or steps during installation, and it is relatively convenient to maintain. It only requires periodic inspection of the integrity of the first decorative strip 22 and the second decorative strip 23.

[0125] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, shelf 20 also includes: side trim 24.

[0126] Side trim 24 covers the side edge of shelf 21 and is connected to at least one of first trim 22 and second trim 23.

[0127] The side trim 24 can serve to decorate and protect the side edges of the shelf 21. The material of the side trim 24 includes, but is not limited to, metal or hard plastic. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0128] The shelf 20 can be of at least one of the following structural forms:

[0129] Firstly, a four-sided fully enclosed shelf (20);

[0130] In this embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the shelf 20 includes a first trim 22, a second trim 23 and two side trims 24. The first trim 22, the second trim 23 and the two side trims 24 form a ring frame that fully covers the front edge, back edge, left edge and right edge of the shelf 21.

[0131] Secondly, the two-sided wrap-around shelves 20;

[0132] In this embodiment, the shelf 20 includes only a first trim 22 and a second trim 23. The first trim 22 covers the front edge of the shelf 21, and the second trim covers the rear edge of the shelf 21.

[0133] Thirdly, corner-wrapped shelves 20;

[0134] In this embodiment, the shelf 20 includes a first trim 22, a second trim 23, and N side trims 24, where 2 ≤ N ≤ 4, and N is an integer. Each side trim 24 only covers a portion of its corresponding side edge. Specifically, when N = 2, two side trims 24 cover the left and right edges of the shelf 21, respectively, and each side trim 24 can be selectively connected to either the first trim 22 or the second trim 23. When N = 3, one of the left and right edges of the shelf 21 has two side trims 24, and the other has one side trim 24. For the edge with two side trims 24, the two side trims 24 can be connected to the first trim 22 and the second trim 23, respectively. The side trim strips 24 can be spaced apart. For an edge with one side trim strip 24, the side trim strip 24 can be selectively connected to either the first trim strip 22 or the second trim strip 23. When N=4, the left and right edges of the shelf 21 are each provided with two side trim strips 24. The two side trim strips 24 covering the left edge can be spaced apart and connected to the first trim strip 22 and the second trim strip 23 respectively. The two side trim strips 24 covering the right edge can be spaced apart and connected to the first trim strip 22 and the second trim strip 23 respectively.

[0135] The storage device 1 provided in this application embodiment adds extra lateral support to the shelf 20 through the setting of the side trim 24. When items are placed on the shelf 20, especially some large items with a shifted center of gravity, the side trim 24 can share some of the lateral force, reduce the torsional deformation of the shelf 20 caused by uneven lateral force, and together with the first support leg 221 and the second support leg 231, maintain the level and stability of the shelf 20, greatly enhance the overall rigidity of the shelf 20, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the shelf 20.
