Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more particularly to a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, refrigerators have become an indispensable household appliance. Refrigerators are typically used for the low-temperature refrigeration of food, medicine, and other items, or for low-temperature freezing such as ice making.

[0003] However, in existing refrigerators, to make full use of the internal space, users often fill an entire shelf with items. When a user takes an item from the inner part of the shelf, they usually need to take out an item from the outer part and then put the outer item back on the shelf. This makes it difficult to access items inside the refrigerator and hinders its convenience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application discloses a refrigerator for improving the convenience of taking items out of the refrigerator and the disassembly of shelves.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses a refrigerator, comprising:

[0006] Box;

[0007] An inner shell assembly, wherein the inner shell assembly is disposed within the housing;

[0008] A door, which is connected to the housing;

[0009] The inner shell assembly includes:

[0010] The inner shell portion forms a storage chamber;

[0011] Shelves, the shelves being disposed within the storage room, the shelves being configured to divide the space of the storage room;

[0012] The inner wall of the storage room is provided with:

[0013] The shelf is rotatably connected to the mounting slot;

[0014] A first limiting part is located on the outer periphery of the mounting groove and is movably connected to the inner wall of the storage chamber. The first limiting part is configured to rotate relative to the inner wall of the storage chamber to block or open a portion of the opening of the mounting groove, thereby restricting the shelf from being connected to the mounting groove or allowing the shelf to detach from the opening of the mounting groove.

[0015] The refrigerator disclosed in this application has a mounting groove on the inner wall of the storage compartment, and the shelf can be rotatably mounted in the mounting groove. In this way, the shelf can move relative to the mounting groove during use, thereby moving items located inside the storage compartment closer to the door, making it easier for the user to retrieve and put away items.

[0016] Furthermore, this application provides mounting grooves on the inner wall of the storage compartment, allowing the shelves to be movably installed within them. For example, the shelves are rotatably connected to the mounting groove, meaning they are primarily rotatably installed on their outer periphery. This avoids occupying the shelf's space intended for storing items, making the overall shelf space more controllable. While allowing the shelves to rotate, they also provide sufficient space for storing items, thus not affecting the shelf's functionality or space usage.

[0017] Based on this, considering the stability of the shelf during rotation and preventing the shelf from detaching from the mounting slot and potentially causing items on it to fall, this application further includes a first limiting part movably provided at the opening of the mounting slot. This first limiting part can either block or open a portion of the mounting slot's opening. Thus, when the shelf is installed in the mounting slot, the first limiting part can block a portion of the mounting slot's opening, effectively restricting the shelf within the mounting slot and preventing it from detaching from the opening.

[0018] When the user needs to remove the shelf from the mounting slot, the first limiting part can be opened by rotating or sliding it, allowing the user to remove the shelf from the mounting slot more easily and conveniently. This greatly improves the ease of disassembling and assembling the shelf and enhances the user experience.

[0019] As an alternative implementation, the first limiting part is rotatably connected to at least one side of the mounting groove along the height direction of the housing.

[0020] At least one of the two sides of the mounting slot along the height direction of the housing is provided with a first limiting part. When the first limiting part seals the opening of the mounting slot, the shelf is prevented from detaching from the mounting slot through the snap-fit ​​or abutment action of the first limiting part. In particular, considering that the mounting slot is located on the inner wall of the housing, and the shelf is mainly rotatably connected to the mounting slot through its edge, the limiting action of the first limiting part can effectively confine the edge of the shelf within the opening of the mounting slot, preventing the edge of the shelf from detaching from the opening of the mounting slot.

[0021] When a first limiting part is provided on both sides of the mounting slot, that is, the two first limiting parts can be set facing each other in the height direction of the box, it is beneficial for the first limiting part to more stably abut or lock with the shelf, thereby better preventing the shelf from detaching from the mounting slot.

[0022] In addition, when the shelf needs to be removed, the first limiting part can rotate relative to the mounting slot to open the opening of the mounting slot, thereby releasing the limiting effect of the first limiting part on the shelf, so that the shelf can be quickly, easily and conveniently removed from the mounting slot, which facilitates the cleaning or replacement of the shelf.

[0023] As an alternative implementation, the mounting groove includes: along the height direction of the housing.

[0024] On the first side, the first limiting part is located on the first side, and the first limiting part is rotatably connected to the first side;

[0025] The second side is located below the first side;

[0026] The inner wall of the storage chamber is also provided with a second limiting part, which is located on the second side and is configured to block part of the opening of the mounting groove.

[0027] This application provides a second limiting part at the opening of the mounting slot. The second limiting part and the first limiting part together restrict the shelf from coming out of the mounting slot, which helps to improve the stability of the shelf relative to the mounting slot. At the same time, it can also further restrict the shelf in the mounting slot and prevent the shelf from coming out of the mounting slot during rotation.

[0028] Furthermore, since the first limiting part can rotate relative to the opening of the mounting slot, while the second limiting part is fixed relative to the mounting slot and located below the first limiting part, when the first limiting part rotates relative to the mounting slot to open the opening, the shelf will not directly detach from the opening due to the action of the second limiting part. Instead, it will be supported within the mounting slot by the support of the second limiting part. Therefore, the user can manually remove the shelf for easy cleaning or replacement.

[0029] As an optional implementation, the second limiting portion is provided with a rolling element, which is configured to connect with the shelf when the shelf is connected to the mounting groove.

[0030] When the shelf rotates relative to the mounting slot, the lower surface of the shelf may slide relative to the second limiting part due to the limiting effect of the second limiting part. This results in sliding friction between the lower surface of the shelf and the second limiting part, which not only hinders the rotation of the shelf but may also cause friction damage to the lower surface of the shelf. Therefore, this application provides a rolling element on the second limiting part to change the sliding friction between the shelf and the second limiting part into rolling friction. Because rolling friction has lower frictional force, it reduces the resistance to movement between the shelf and the second limiting part, which is beneficial for the rotation of the shelf while also reducing friction damage to the lower surface of the shelf.

[0031] As an alternative implementation, the shelf is rotatably connected to the mounting groove along its circumferential direction, and the outer circumferential surface of the shelf is configured as an arc surface, and the surface of the second limiting portion near the opening of the mounting groove is also configured as an arc surface.

[0032] The shelf is rotatably connected to the mounting slot along its circumferential direction, allowing it to rotate relative to the mounting slot on a plane. This rotation method simplifies the design of the rotation structure between the shelf and the mounting slot, eliminating the need for an additional pivot. Furthermore, the rotation of the shelf relative to the mounting slot facilitates the movement of items located inside the storage compartment closer to the door, making them easier to access. Additionally, the circumferential rotatable connection utilizes the space on the shelf's outer circumference, eliminating the need to occupy the upper surface space used for item placement, thus ensuring sufficient storage space. In short, this design achieves shelf rotation without compromising the shelf's storage space.

[0033] Furthermore, since the surface of the second limiting part near the opening of the mounting groove may come into contact with the shelf during the rotation of the shelf, by setting the surface of the second limiting part near the opening of the mounting groove as an arc surface, it can better cooperate with the outer peripheral surface of the shelf, which is beneficial to guide the shelf to rotate better around its own circumferential direction when rotating.

[0034] As an optional implementation, the inner wall of the storage room is further provided with a mounting member, the mounting member being provided with the mounting groove, and the first limiting part being provided on the mounting member and located on the outer periphery of the mounting groove.

[0035] This application reduces the need for structural modifications to the inner wall of the storage compartment by installing mounting parts and using these parts to create mounting slots. In other words, the structure that rotates with the shelf is made into an independent structure, thereby reducing the cost of modifying the structure of the compartment.

[0036] In addition, as an independent structure, the mounting component can be easily detached from the inner wall of the storage room or replaced when it is damaged or when there is no need to install a rotating shelf, which helps to reduce equipment replacement costs.

[0037] As an alternative implementation, the mounting member protrudes from the inner wall of the storage chamber, or the mounting member is embedded in the inner wall of the storage chamber.

[0038] When installing mounting components on the inner wall of a storage room, this application allows for installation via either protrusion or embedding. For example, when the mounting component protrudes from the inner wall of the storage room, it facilitates installation and removal. When the mounting component is embedded in the inner wall of the storage room, it utilizes the internal space of the wall, thus reducing the space occupied by the mounting component.

[0039] As an alternative implementation, the mounting components include a plurality of components, which are spaced apart on the inner wall of the storage compartment in a circumferential direction around the shelf.

[0040] By installing multiple mounting components on the inner wall of the storage room, the mounting components are connected to multiple parts of the shelf, thereby enabling the mounting components to provide multi-point support for the shelf and improving the stability of the shelf when installed on the mounting components.

[0041] As an optional implementation, the inner shell assembly further includes:

[0042] A partition shelf is disposed in the storage room and configured to divide the space of the storage room along the width direction of the box. Each of the divided storage rooms is provided with a shelf, and some of the mounting components are disposed on the partition shelf.

[0043] In addition to using shelves to divide the storage compartment in the height direction of the refrigerator, shelves can also be used to divide the storage compartment in the width direction. That is to say, when installing shelves in the storage compartment, rotating shelves or other types of shelves, such as pull-out shelves, can be installed on one side of the storage compartment in the width direction. This helps to improve the functionality of the refrigerator and meet the needs of different users.

[0044] By placing some of the mounting components on the partition rack, the shelves can be installed on the partition rack along with the mounting components. In this way, the mounting components on the partition rack and the mounting components on the inner wall of the storage room can form a multi-point installation of the shelves, which further helps to improve the stability of the shelf installation.

[0045] As an alternative implementation, the shelf is rotatably connected to the mounting slot about its circumferential direction.

[0046] The shelf is rotatably connected to the mounting slot along its circumferential direction, allowing it to rotate relative to the mounting slot on a plane. This rotation method simplifies the design of the rotation structure between the shelf and the mounting slot, eliminating the need for an additional pivot. Furthermore, the rotation of the shelf relative to the mounting slot facilitates the movement of items located inside the storage compartment closer to the door, making them easier to access. Additionally, the circumferential rotatable connection utilizes the space on the shelf's outer circumference, eliminating the need to occupy the upper surface space used for item placement, thus ensuring sufficient storage space. In short, this design achieves shelf rotation without compromising the shelf's storage space.

[0047] As an optional implementation, the shelf includes:

[0048] The load-bearing part; and

[0049] A flange portion is provided at the edge of the supporting portion, and the flange portion protrudes from at least one side of the supporting portion along the height direction of the housing;

[0050] When the shelf is connected to the mounting groove, the flange portion is located within the mounting groove.

[0051] On the one hand, the shelf in this application can be limited within the mounting groove by a flange portion. For example, the flange portion can engage with a first limiting part along the opening direction of the mounting groove, making it difficult for the flange portion to detach from the opening of the mounting groove, thereby helping to prevent the shelf from detaching from the mounting groove. Alternatively, the first limiting part can restrict the movement of the flange portion along the height direction of the cabinet to prevent the shelf from detaching from the mounting groove. On the other hand, when the shelf rotates relative to the mounting groove, it is mainly prevented from detaching by the limiting connection between the flange portion located at the edge of the shelf and the mounting groove, without occupying the space for placing items on the load-bearing part, which is beneficial for users to place items on the shelf.

[0052] As an optional implementation, the mounting groove includes, along the height direction of the housing:

[0053] First side; and

[0054] The second side, the first side is located above the second side, and the first limiting part is provided on the first side;

[0055] The inner wall of the storage compartment is further provided with a second limiting part, which is located on the second side and is configured to block a portion of the opening of the mounting groove; and

[0056] The flange portion includes an upper flange and a lower flange. The upper flange is located on the upper surface of the bearing portion and corresponds to the first limiting portion, and the lower flange is located on the lower surface of the bearing portion and corresponds to the second limiting portion.

[0057] In other words, the design of the upper and lower flanges creates an approximately "T"-shaped structure between the flange portion and the supporting portion. On one hand, the first and second limiting portions on the mounting groove of the corresponding upper and lower flanges can adapt to this "T"-shaped structure. This means that when the shelf rotates relative to the mounting groove, the "T"-shaped structure can slide within the space enclosed by the mounting groove and the first and second limiting portions, guiding the flange portion to slide within the mounting groove and improving the flexibility of the shelf rotation. On the other hand, to prevent the shelf from detaching from the mounting groove, the upper and lower flanges engage with the first and second limiting portions respectively along the opening direction of the mounting groove. This prevents the shelf from detaching from the mounting groove along the opening direction, thereby improving the installation stability of the shelf within the mounting groove.

[0058] As an optional implementation, the side of the lower flange adjacent to the second limiting part along the opening direction of the mounting groove is a concave arc surface, and the side of the second limiting part adjacent to the lower flange along the opening direction of the mounting groove is a convex arc surface, and the convex arc surface and the concave arc surface correspond to and cooperate with each other.

[0059] During rotation, the lower flange contacts the second limiting part. This application considers that the contact between the lower flange and the second limiting part may generate frictional resistance, affecting the effective rotation of the shelf. To address this, this application provides a convex arc surface on the second limiting part that corresponds to the concave arc surface of the lower flange. This allows the convex and concave arc surfaces to slide together during rotation, reducing resistance to shelf rotation. Furthermore, since the convex and concave arc surfaces extend along the circumferential direction of the shelf, the shelf can rotate around its circumference when they slide together, facilitating guidance of shelf rotation.

Detailed Implementation

[0080] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0081] In this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," and "middle," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0082] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0083] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0084] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, elements, or components (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, elements, or components. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0085] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, refrigerators have become an indispensable household appliance. Refrigerators are typically used for low-temperature refrigeration of food, medicine, and other items, or for low-temperature freezing such as ice making. In some refrigerator models, to maximize space utilization, items are often piled high on an entire shelf. This makes items located on the inner side of the shelf (i.e., the side closest to the internal wall of the refrigerator) difficult to access. For example, when a user needs to retrieve an item from the inner side of the shelf, they must first remove the items on the outer side, then easily retrieve the inner item, and finally put the retrieved items back on the shelf. This makes retrieving items from the refrigerator cumbersome and inconvenient for daily use.

[0086] To facilitate access to items located inside the shelves, the inventors attempted to design the shelf's position within the refrigerator. For example, by allowing the shelves to rotate relative to the refrigerator's internal wall, items located inside the shelves could be easily retrieved. Figure 1 As shown, a double-layer shelf design is used, with the lower part ( Figure 1 The shelf (indicated by α in the diagram) is used to support the upper shelf (indicated by β in the diagram) and rotates the shelf via a central pivot. However, this method not only makes the overall structure of a single shelf thicker, but also occupies space in the height direction of the box, which is not conducive to the user's placement of items.

[0087] Based on this, the inventors made another attempt, adopting a single-layer shelf design. This involved adding a pivot between the upper and lower walls of the refrigerator body, allowing the pivot to pass through the middle area of ​​the shelf, thus enabling the shelf to rotate around the pivot. Specifically, as... Figure 2 As shown, the upper and lower surfaces of the shelf (indicated by γ in the figure) are pierced by a central pivot (indicated by θ in the figure). However, with this design, when the shelf becomes dirty or damaged and needs to be removed, the pivot prevents direct removal of the shelf from the pivot itself; the pivot must be used for disassembly before the shelf can be easily taken out. Furthermore, the pivot, located in the middle of the shelf, occupies space on the upper surface of the shelf, resulting in low space utilization on the upper surface.

[0088] Based on this, this application discloses a refrigerator that features a groove on the inner wall of the storage compartment within the refrigerator's inner shell. The shelves are rotatably connected to the groove, allowing items on the inner shelves to be moved to the outer side or exposed thereout for easy access by the user. This makes retrieving items from the refrigerator more convenient and faster, improving the user experience.

[0089] Furthermore, this application also considers the possibility that the shelf might slip out of the groove during rotation, causing it to fall or become stuck. This application also includes a first limiting part within the groove to restrict the position of the shelf within the groove, preventing it from slipping out and improving the stability of the shelf during rotation. Further, to prevent the first limiting part from preventing the shelf from detaching from the mounting groove, the first limiting part can move relative to the mounting groove to open the opening of the mounting groove, facilitating the detachment of the shelf from the mounting groove.

[0090] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0091] Please see Figure 3 This application discloses a refrigerator 100, including a cabinet 1 and a door 2. The door 2 is closable and connected to the cabinet 1 to open or close the internal space of the cabinet 1, so as to facilitate users to take out or put in items from the cabinet 1 or to preserve items at low temperature.

[0092] Optionally, the refrigerator 100 disclosed in this application can be classified by its shape as a single-door refrigerator, double-door refrigerator, three-door refrigerator, four-door refrigerator, etc., and by its placement type as a vertical refrigerator, horizontal refrigerator, tabletop refrigerator, etc. This application does not make specific limitations here.

[0093] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The diagram shows a schematic of a two-door refrigerator. The upper part of the refrigerator is configured as a storage compartment for refrigeration, typically with a temperature of 0°C to 10°C, while the lower part is configured as a freezer compartment for freezing items, typically with a temperature of -24°C to -18°C. Alternatively, as another embodiment, the upper part of the refrigerator can be configured as a freezer compartment, and the lower part as a storage compartment for refrigerated items.

[0094] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 further includes an inner shell assembly 3 disposed within the cabinet 1. Exemplarily, when the door 2 is closably connected to the cabinet 1, opening the door 2 can expose part of the inner shell assembly 3, while closing the door 2 can seal the opening of the cabinet 1 to maintain a low-temperature environment inside the cabinet 1.

[0095] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 further includes a refrigeration system (not shown) disposed within the cabinet 1, which is used to cool or maintain a low-temperature environment within the inner shell assembly 3.

[0096] In some embodiments, the refrigeration system includes an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and a throttling device. Exemplarily, in the evaporator, low-pressure liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from inside the refrigerator 100 and rapidly evaporates into gas, a process that lowers the internal temperature of the refrigerator 100. The evaporated gas enters the compressor through a pipe, where it is compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. The high-temperature, high-pressure gas enters the condenser, releases heat, and condenses into a liquid. The liquid refrigerant passes through the throttling device, its pressure decreases, and its temperature drops accordingly. At this point, the refrigerant becomes a low-temperature liquid again, ready to enter the evaporator to begin the next cycle.

[0097] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 further includes a piping system (not shown) that connects an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and a throttling device. The piping system is used to transfer refrigerant in the evaporator, compressor, condenser, and throttling device, and to flow vaporized refrigerant through the inner shell assembly 3 to cool the inner shell assembly 3.

[0098] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 further includes a control system (not shown), which is used to control the refrigeration temperature, operation, etc. of the refrigerator 100 to realize automatic control of the refrigerator 100.

[0099] In some embodiments, the inner shell assembly 3 includes an inner shell portion 31, which forms a storage chamber 31a for storing items.

[0100] Optionally, storage compartment 31a may be a freezer compartment or a refrigerator compartment. For example, when storage compartment 31a is a freezer compartment, its temperature may be -24° to -18°, and when storage compartment 31a is a refrigerator compartment, its temperature may be 0° to 10°.

[0101] Understandably, in Figure 3 In the example, X indicates the height direction of the cabinet 1. Y indicates the width direction of the cabinet 1. Of course, it is understood that the refrigerator 100 also includes a thickness direction; for example, the distance from the front to the rear of the refrigerator 100 is the thickness direction of the cabinet 1. Figure 3 The example shown is Z. Here, the front side of refrigerator 100 refers to the side adjacent to door 2, and the rear side of refrigerator 100 refers to the side away from door 2.

[0102] Please see also Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments, the inner shell assembly 3 includes a shelf 32 disposed within the storage compartment 31a, the shelf 32 being configured to divide the space of the storage compartment 31a. Exemplarily, the shelf 32 divides the space of the storage compartment 31a along the height direction of the housing 1 to facilitate better stacking of items within the storage compartment 31a.

[0103] Optionally, there can be multiple shelves 32, which can be spaced apart within the storage room 31a to divide the storage room 31a into multiple storage spaces. Using multiple shelves 32 to divide the space of the storage room 31a into multiple levels facilitates the categorization and storage of different items.

[0104] As an example, the plurality of shelves 32 may be spaced apart in the storage room 31a along the height direction of the box 1 to divide the storage room 31a into a plurality of storage spaces along the height direction of the box 1.

[0105] In another exemplary manner, the plurality of shelves 32 may be spaced apart within the storage room 31a along the width direction of the cabinet 1 to divide the storage room 31a into a plurality of storage spaces along the width direction of the cabinet 1.

[0106] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the storage compartment 31a is provided with a mounting groove 31b, and the shelf 32 is movably connected to the mounting groove 31b. Exemplarily, the shelf 32 is rotatably connected to the mounting groove 31b, that is, the shelf 32 is mainly rotatably mounted to the mounting groove 31b via its outer periphery. This avoids occupying the space of the shelf 32 used for placing items, making the overall space of the shelf 32 more controllable. This allows the shelf 32 to be rotatable while still having sufficient space for placing items, thus not affecting the shelf 32's function of placing items or its space occupation.

[0107] It is understandable that the inner side of the storage room 31a is the side away from the door 2, and the outer side of the storage room 31a is the side closer to the door 2.

[0108] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the shelf 32 is rotatably connected to the mounting slot 31b around its own circumferential direction. It is understood that when the shelf 32 rotates around its own circumferential direction, it remains horizontal along the width of the cabinet 1. In this application, the shelf 32 is rotatably connected to the mounting slot 31b along its own circumferential direction, thereby achieving rotation of the shelf 32 relative to the mounting slot 31b on a plane. With this rotation method, on the one hand, the shelf 32 can rotate without an additional pivot, effectively simplifying the rotation structure design between the shelf 32 and the mounting slot 31b. On the other hand, the rotation of the shelf 32 relative to the mounting slot 31b on a plane facilitates rotating items located inside the storage compartment 31a closer to the door 2, further facilitating the retrieval and placement of items. On the other hand, the shelf 32 is rotatably connected to the mounting slot 31b in the circumferential direction, utilizing the space of the outer circumferential surface of the shelf 32. This eliminates the need to occupy the space of the upper surface of the shelf 32 used for placing items, thus allowing the shelf 32 to have sufficient space for placing items. In other words, the design of this application enables the shelf 32 to rotate without occupying the item placement space of the shelf 32.

[0109] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the shelf 32 is rotatably connected to the mounting slot 31b, allowing the shelf 32 to rotate relative to an axis to expose items located behind the shelf 32 toward the door 2. For example, please refer to... Figure 6 As shown, shelf 32 is oriented around the axis ( Figure 6 The cylindrical portion (illustrated by the dashed line) rotates so that the rear side of the shelf 32 rotates toward the door 2, thereby facilitating the retrieval and placement of items located inside the storage room 31a.

[0110] Please see Figures 8 to 12 In some embodiments, a first limiting portion 33 is provided on the inner wall surface of the storage chamber 31a. The first limiting portion 33 is located on the outer periphery of the mounting groove 31b and is movably connected to the inner wall surface of the storage chamber 31a. The first limiting portion 33 is configured to be movable relative to the inner wall surface of the storage chamber 31a to block a portion of the opening of the mounting groove 31b or to open a portion of the opening of the mounting groove 31b.

[0111] The first limiting part 33 is movably connected to the inner wall of the storage chamber 31a, including various different examples.

[0112] In the first example, for example Figure 9 As shown, the first limiting part 33 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage compartment 31a, that is, the first limiting part 33 is rotatable relative to the mounting groove 31b. Thus, when the first limiting part 33 rotates toward the mounting groove 31b, the first limiting part 33 is located at the opening of the mounting groove 31b, thereby blocking part of the opening of the mounting groove 31b and restricting the shelf 32 from being connected to the mounting groove 31b. Alternatively, when the first limiting part 33 rotates away from the mounting groove 31b, the opening of the mounting groove 31b opens, so that the shelf 32 can be removed from the mounting groove 31b.

[0113] In the second example, for example Figure 10 As shown, the first limiting part 33 can slide upward along the height direction of the housing 1, thereby opening the opening of the mounting groove 31b, or the first limiting part 33 can slide downward, thereby sealing the opening of the mounting groove 31b.

[0114] In the third example, the first limiting part 33 can slide upward along the height direction of the housing 1 and then rotate to open the opening of the mounting groove 31b, or the first limiting part 33 can slide downward and then rotate to block the opening of the mounting groove 31b.

[0115] Of course, as in other embodiments, the first limiting part 33 may also be detachably connected to the inner wall of the storage chamber 31a. For example... Figure 11As shown, the first limiting part 33 can be directly installed or removed from the inner wall of the storage chamber 31a, so that the opening of the mounting groove 31b can be opened or blocked.

[0116] It is understandable that when the first limiting part 33 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the storage chamber 31a, the detachable method between the first limiting part 33 and the inner wall of the storage chamber 31a may include, but is not limited to, snap-fit ​​connection, magnetic connection, threaded connection, etc.

[0117] Optionally, the first limiting part 33 may be a protrusion or strip protruding in the mounting groove 31b along the height direction of the housing 1, or, as Figure 8 As shown in the example, the shelf 32 protrudes and extends along the width direction of the housing 1, and then bends downward along the height direction of the housing 1, thereby limiting the shelf 32 with the first limiting part 33 to prevent the shelf 32 from detaching from the mounting groove 31b. For example, as Figure 8 As shown, the first limiting part 33 may include a first part and a second part. The first part extends along the width direction of the housing 1 to block part of the opening of the mounting groove 31b in the height direction of the housing 1. The second part is connected to the first part along the height direction of the housing 1 to block part of the opening of the mounting groove 31b in the width direction of the housing 1.

[0118] This application addresses the issue that, due to the large number of items placed on the shelf 32 during rotation, the shelf 32 may bear a heavy load, potentially making it difficult to rotate. If the shelf 32 is under excessive load during rotation, it may be pressed down by the items, causing it to rotate eccentrically and potentially pop out of the mounting slot 31b. Alternatively, if the user rotates the shelf 32 too quickly, the mounting slot 31b may not be able to guide its rotation, potentially causing the shelf 32 to slip out of the mounting slot 31b. To address this, this application provides a first limiting part 33 at the opening of the mounting slot 31b to prevent the shelf 32 from slipping out of the mounting slot 31b, thus improving the stability of the shelf 32 during installation and rotation within the mounting slot 31b. Furthermore, the first limiting part 33 can also rotate relative to the mounting slot 31b to open the opening of the mounting slot 31b, facilitating the removal or installation of the shelf 32 from the mounting slot 31b.

[0119] Furthermore, this application's method of rotatably connecting the shelf 32 to the mounting slot 31b, compared to the method of rotating the shelf 32 by supporting it on a rotating tray and connecting it to a pivot for rotation, allows for direct separation of the shelf 32 from the mounting slot 31b by rotating the first limiting part 33 during disassembly. In other words, the shelf 32 does not need to be separated from the pivot, making disassembly more convenient. Moreover, along the height of the cabinet 1, only the shelf 32 occupies a portion of the space, while the method of rotating the shelf 32 on a tray occupies more space in the storage compartment 31a, which is detrimental to the storage of items.

[0120] Optionally, there can be multiple mounting slots 31b, each mounted on the wall surface of each storage chamber 31a. That is, when the shelf 32 is connected to each mounting slot 31b, the shelf 32 can form multiple connections with each wall surface of the storage chamber 31a, which helps to improve the installation stability of the shelf 32.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first limiting portion 33 is located on at least one side of the mounting groove 31b along the height direction of the housing 1.

[0122] In one example, when the mounting slot 31b is provided with a first limiting part 33 on one side along the height direction of the box body 1, the first limiting part 33 can block or open part of the opening of the mounting slot 31b. When the first limiting part 33 blocks part of the opening of the mounting slot 31b, the shelf 32 can be stably rotated and connected to the mounting slot 31b. When the first limiting part 33 opens part of the opening of the mounting slot 31b, the operation is simple and the shelf 32 is easy to take out from the mounting slot 31b.

[0123] In another example, when the mounting groove 31b is provided with first limiting parts 33 on both sides along the height direction of the box body 1, the two first limiting parts 33 can jointly block or open part of the opening of the mounting groove 31b. When the two first limiting parts 33 block part of the opening of the mounting groove 31b, both first limiting parts 33 can restrict the shelf 32 from detaching from the mounting groove 31b, which is beneficial to maintain the stable connection of the shelf 32 to the mounting groove 31b. When the two first limiting parts 33 open part of the opening of the mounting groove 31b, the opening of the mounting groove 31b can be enlarged, so that the shelf 32 can be taken out from the mounting groove 31b.

[0124] Please see Figure 8In some embodiments, the mounting slot 31b includes a first side a and a second side b along the height direction of the housing 1, with the second side b located below the first side a, and the first limiting part 33 located on the first side a. This application considers that when the shelf 32 is located in the mounting slot 31b, if the first limiting part 33 is located on the second side b, the first limiting part 33 may be pressed down by the shelf 32, making it difficult to rotate and open a portion of the opening in the mounting slot 31b, which would be detrimental to removing the shelf 32 from the mounting slot 31b. Therefore, the first limiting part 33 is located on the first side a to prevent the shelf 32 from pressing down on the first limiting part 33 and causing difficulty in rotation.

[0125] Please see Figure 8 Optionally, the inner wall of the storage compartment 31a is further provided with a second limiting part 34, located on the second side b, and configured to block a portion of the opening of the mounting groove 31b. In other words, compared to the first limiting part 33, which is rotatably connected to the first side a, the second limiting part 34 is fixedly installed on the second side b. When the limiting function of the first limiting part 33 fails, the second limiting part 34 can still prevent the shelf 32 from detaching from the mounting groove 31b at will. For example, when the first limiting part 33 opens a portion of the opening of the mounting groove 31b, the shelf 32 needs to be lifted before it can detach from the mounting groove 31b. That is, even if the first limiting part 33 loses its limiting function, the second limiting part 34 can restrict the shelf 32 from detaching from the mounting groove 31b. In this way, the mounting groove 31b has good limiting stability.

[0126] Optionally, the second limiting part 34 may be a protrusion, a protrusion strip, etc. that protrudes along the height direction of the housing 1, and this application does not make specific limitations here.

[0127] Optionally, the first limiting part 33 can be rotatably connected to the first side a of the mounting groove 31b by means of hinge, shaft connection or other means. Figure 8 In the example, the black dot represents the hinge point or shaft connection point of the first limiting part 33. For example... Figure 9 As shown in the example, when the first limiting part 33 rotates, the first limiting part 33 opens the opening of the mounting slot 31b. In this way, the shelf 32 can be removed from the mounting slot 31b.

[0128] Please see Figures 8 to 12In some embodiments, a rolling element 35 is provided on the second limiting portion 34, and the rolling element 35 is configured to connect with the shelf 32 when the shelf 32 is connected to the mounting groove 31b. When the shelf 32 rotates relative to the mounting groove 31b, the shelf 32 slides relative to the second limiting portion 34, and there is sliding friction between the shelf 32 and the second limiting portion 34, which is not conducive to the movement of the shelf 32. The present application provides a rolling element 35 on the second limiting portion 34, so that the sliding friction between the shelf 32 and the second limiting portion 34 is transformed into rolling friction, reducing the resistance to the movement between the shelf 32 and the second limiting portion 34, and facilitating the rotation of the shelf 32.

[0129] Optionally, the rolling element 35 may be a roller, ball, wheel, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0130] Please see Figures 8 to 12 Optionally, the rolling element 35 may be embedded within the second limiting portion 34 or mounted on the outside of the second limiting portion 34. For example, as shown... Figure 8 As shown, when the rolling element 35 is embedded in the second limiting part 34, the space occupied by the rolling element 35 in the storage chamber 31a can be reduced. Or, as Figure 12 As shown, the rolling element 35 can also be disposed on one side of the second limiting part 34 to facilitate the installation of the rolling element 35.

[0131] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral surface of the shelf 32 may be an arc surface. For example, when the shelf 32 rotates about its circumferential direction, the edge of the shelf 32 slides relative to the mounting groove 31b. Setting the outer peripheral surface of the shelf 32 as an arc surface helps to reduce the surface-to-surface contact friction when the edge of the shelf 32 slides relative to the mounting groove 31b, so as to facilitate the rotation of the shelf 32.

[0132] Optionally, the surface of the second limiting part 34 near the opening of the mounting groove 31b is also configured as an arc surface. For example, when the edge of the shelf 32 slides relative to the mounting groove 31b, the surface of the second limiting part 34 near the opening of the mounting groove 31b contacts the edge surface of the shelf 32. Since the surface of the second limiting part 34 near the opening of the mounting groove 31b may contact the shelf 32 during rotation, by setting the surface of the second limiting part 34 near the opening of the mounting groove 31b as an arc surface, it can better cooperate with the outer peripheral surface of the shelf 32, which is beneficial for guiding the shelf 32 to rotate better around its own circumferential direction during rotation.

[0133] Please see also Figures 7 to 12In some embodiments, the shelf 32 includes a supporting portion 321 and a flange portion 322. The flange portion 322 is disposed at the edge of the supporting portion 321 and protrudes from at least one side of the supporting portion 321 along the height direction of the housing 1. On one hand, the shelf 32 of this application can be limited within the mounting groove 31b by the flange portion 322. For example, the flange portion 322 can engage with the first limiting portion 33 along the opening direction of the mounting groove 31b, making it difficult for the flange portion 322 to detach from the opening of the mounting groove 31b, thereby helping to prevent the shelf 32 from detaching from the mounting groove 31b. Alternatively, the first limiting portion 33 restricts the movement of the flange portion 322 along the height direction of the housing 1 to prevent the shelf 32 from detaching from the mounting groove 31b. On the other hand, when the shelf 32 rotates relative to the mounting groove 31b, the shelf 32 is prevented from detaching mainly by the limiting connection between the flange portion 322 located at the edge of the shelf 32 and the mounting groove 31b, without occupying the space for placing items in the load-bearing portion 321, which is beneficial for users to place items on the shelf 32.

[0134] Understandably, the flange portion 322 is arranged around the entire bearing portion 321 in the circumferential direction of the shelf 32. In this way, when any edge of the bearing portion 321 is connected to the mounting groove 31b, the flange portion 322 can be limited and connected within the mounting groove 31b.

[0135] Please see Figures 8 to 12 Optionally, the flange portion 322 includes an upper flange 3221 and a lower flange 3222. The upper flange 3221 is located on the upper surface of the supporting portion 321 and corresponds to the first limiting portion 33, while the lower flange 3222 is located on the lower surface of the supporting portion 321 and corresponds to the second limiting portion 34. In order to improve the stability of the limiting connection between the shelf 32 and the mounting groove 31b, the flange portion 322 is respectively limited by the upper flange 3221 corresponding to the first limiting portion 33 and the lower flange 3222 corresponding to the second limiting portion 34, thereby preventing the edge of the supporting portion 321 from detaching from the mounting groove 31b.

[0136] For example, in Figure 8As shown, the design of the upper flange 3221 and the lower flange 3222 makes the flange portion 322 and the supporting portion 321 form an approximately "T" shaped structure. On the one hand, the first limiting part 33 and the second limiting part 34 provided on the mounting groove 31b of the corresponding upper flange 3221 and lower flange 3222 can be adapted to the approximately "T" shaped structure of the flange portion 322 and the supporting portion 321. That is to say, when the shelf 32 rotates relative to the mounting groove 31b, the "T" shaped structure can be adapted to slide in the space enclosed by the mounting groove 31b and the first limiting part 33 and the second limiting part 34, thereby guiding the flange portion 322 to slide in the mounting groove 31b, which is beneficial to improving the flexibility of the shelf 32 rotation. On the other hand, in order to prevent the shelf 32 from detaching from the mounting groove 31b, the upper flange 3221 and the lower flange 3222 are respectively engaged with the first limiting part 33 and the second limiting part 34 along the opening direction of the mounting groove 31b. In this way, the shelf 32 can be prevented from detaching from the mounting groove 31b along the opening direction of the mounting groove 31b, thereby improving the installation stability of the shelf 32 in the mounting groove 31b.

[0137] Optionally, the side of the lower flange 3222 adjacent to the opening direction of the mounting groove 31b near the second limiting part 34 is a concave arc surface, and the side of the second limiting part 34 adjacent to the opening direction of the mounting groove 31b near the lower flange 3222 is a convex arc surface, with the convex arc surface corresponding to and engaging with the concave arc surface. For example, during the rotation of the bearing part 321, the lower flange 3222 contacts the second limiting part 34. This application considers that the contact between the lower flange 3222 and the second limiting part 34 may generate frictional resistance, affecting the effective rotation of the shelf 32. Therefore, this application provides a convex arc surface on the second limiting part 34 corresponding to the concave arc surface of the lower flange 3222, allowing the convex arc surface and the concave arc surface to slide together during the rotation of the bearing part 321, thereby reducing the obstruction to the rotation of the shelf 32. In addition, the convex and concave arc surfaces extend along the circumferential direction of the shelf 32. When the convex and concave arc surfaces slide together, the shelf 32 can rotate around its circumferential direction, which is beneficial for guiding the rotation of the shelf 32.

[0138] Please see Figures 13 to 15 In some embodiments, the inner wall of the storage chamber 31a is further provided with a mounting member 36, the mounting member 36 being provided with a mounting groove 31b, and a first limiting part 33 being provided on the mounting member 36 and located on the outer periphery of the mounting groove 31b. This application provides a mounting member 36 on the inner wall of the storage chamber 31a, and by opening the mounting groove 31b in the mounting member 36, the need for re-molding and modifying the inner shell portion 31 structure to provide the mounting groove 31b is reduced. The mounting groove 31b can be directly set on the inner wall of the existing inner shell portion 31 of the storage chamber 31a by installing the mounting member 36, which helps to reduce production costs.

[0139] It is understandable that when the mounting groove 31b is provided on the mounting member 36, the first limiting part 33, the second limiting part 34 and the rolling member 35 are correspondingly provided on the mounting member 36.

[0140] Optionally, the mounting member 36 protrudes from the inner wall surface of the storage chamber 31a, or the mounting member 36 is embedded in the inner wall surface of the storage chamber 31a. When the mounting member 36 is provided on the inner wall surface of the storage chamber 31a in this application, the mounting member 36 can be installed by protrusion or embedding.

[0141] In one example, when the mounting part 36 protrudes from the inner wall of the storage chamber 31a, it facilitates the installation and removal of the mounting part 36.

[0142] In another example, when the mounting component 36 is embedded in the inner wall of the storage room 31a, it helps to reduce the space occupied by the mounting component 36 in the storage room 31a.

[0143] Please see Figure 14 In some embodiments, the mounting members 36 may include multiple members, which are spaced apart on the inner wall surface of the storage chamber 31a around the shelf 32 in the circumferential direction. By providing multiple mounting members 36 on the inner wall surface of the storage chamber 31a, this application allows the mounting members 36 to be connected to multiple positions of the shelf 32, providing multi-point support for the shelf 32 and improving the stability of the shelf 32 when installed on the mounting members 36.

[0144] Please see Figure 15 Optionally, multiple mounting components 36 are connected sequentially around the shelf 32 in the circumferential direction. It is understood that when the mounting components 36 are connected sequentially around the shelf 32 in the circumferential direction, the mounting slots 31b on each mounting component 36 are also interconnected. In this way, multiple mounting components 36 are connected as a whole and positioned circumferentially around the inner wall of the storage compartment 31a, so that when the shelf 32 rotates, each shelf 32 can connect to the mounting components 36.

[0145] Alternatively, there may be only one mounting component 36, with some shelves 32 installed via mounting slots 31b on the mounting component 36, and other shelves 32 installed via mounting slots 31b located on the inner wall of the storage room 31a. Reducing the number of mounting components 36 helps to reduce the space occupied in the storage room 31a.

[0146] Optionally, the mounting component 36 can be connected to the inner wall of the storage compartment 31a by magnetic attraction, screws, or adhesive, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0147] Optionally, the mounting component 36 can be a block made of plastic, metal or other materials, with grooves opened on it to form a mounting groove 31b, and then the first limiting part 33 and the second limiting part 34 are installed to restrict the shelf 32 from detaching from the mounting component 36.

[0148] Please see also Figure 16 and Figure 17 In some embodiments, the inner shell assembly 3 further includes a divider 37 disposed within the storage compartment 31a. The divider 37 is configured to divide the space of the storage compartment 31a along the width direction of the cabinet 1, and each divided storage compartment 31a contains a shelf 32. It is understood that, in addition to dividing the space of the storage compartment 31a in the height direction of the cabinet 1 by the shelf 32, the divider 37 can also divide the space of the storage compartment 31a in the width direction of the cabinet 1. That is, when the divider 37 is provided within the storage compartment 31a, a rotating shelf 32 can be provided on the side of the storage compartment 31a in the width direction, or a rotating shelf 32 or a traditional pull-out shelf 32 can be provided, which helps to improve the functionality of the refrigerator 100 and meet the usage needs of different users.

[0149] Optionally, the divider 37 may be a baffle extending along the thickness direction of the box body 1, or a baffle that divides the space of the storage room 31a into two sides along the width direction of the box body 1. The mounting part 36 may be installed on the divider 37 by means of magnetic attraction, screws, buckles, etc. This application does not make specific limitations.

[0150] Optionally, some of the mounting members 36 are disposed on the partition rack 37. For example, when some of the mounting members 36 are disposed on the partition rack 37, the shelf 32 can be installed on the partition rack 37 along with the mounting members 36. The mounting members 36 located on the partition rack 37 can form multi-point installation of the shelf 32 with the mounting members 36 located on the inner wall surface of the storage room 31a, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the shelf 32 installation.

Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the refrigerator of this application and its core ideas. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
