[0068] Currently, in the process of conceiving and implementing this application, the applicant has discovered at least the following problems: The lighting inside existing refrigerators is usually provided by installing lights on the top or side, and the inner liner is equipped with a liner rib, with the shelves sliding on the liner rib. When there are many foods piled on the shelves, they will block at least part of the light, making it difficult for users to identify the items.

[0069] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the refrigerator provided in this application features a design between the shelf assembly and the light-emitting component. The light-emitting component is installed at the rear of the shelf assembly. Rotating the power supply unit electrically connects it to the light-emitting component, allowing the light-emitting component to emit light. When the light-emitting component is no longer needed, rotating the power supply unit again disengages it from the light-emitting component, ensuring safety and controllability. Since the light-emitting component emits light from the rear of the shelf assembly, it increases the brightness of the rear of the refrigerator compartment, making it easier for users to identify items. Furthermore, the shelf assembly can be disassembled relative to the inner liner to accommodate different heights. Because the power supply unit is rotatable, it is not damaged during disassembly or assembly, thus improving the overall safety of the refrigerator.

[0070] The contents of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can have a clearer and more detailed understanding of the contents of this application.

[0072] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this application embodiment provides a refrigerator 100, including:

[0073] The box body 110 has an inner liner 111, and the inner liner 111 has:

[0074] Refrigerator compartment 1111;

[0075] The door 120 is movably connected to the cabinet 110 and is configured to open and close the refrigerator compartment 1111;

[0076] Shelf assembly 130 is disposed in the inner liner 111 of the box. Shelf assembly 130 includes:

[0077] Shelf 132 is located in the refrigerator compartment 1111 and is configured to be movably connected to the inner liner 111.

[0078] The light-emitting component 140 includes:

[0079] The light-emitting element 141 is disposed on the shelf element 132 and located on the rear side of the box 110;

[0080] The power supply component 142 is rotatably disposed in the inner liner 111 of the box so that the power supply component 142 and the light-emitting component 141 are connected or disconnected.

[0081] With the above-described configuration, namely the refrigerator 100 of this embodiment, the arrangement between the shelf component 132 and the light-emitting component 140, wherein the light-emitting element 141 in the light-emitting component 140 is installed on the rear side of the shelf component 132, when the power supply component 142 is rotated, the power supply component 142 is electrically connected to the light-emitting element 141, so that the light-emitting element 141 can emit light, when the light-emitting element 141 is not needed to emit light, the power supply component 142 is rotated again, so that the power supply component 142 and the light-emitting element 141 are disconnected from each other, which is safe and controllable; since the light-emitting element 141 emits light from the rear side of the shelf component 132, it can improve the light brightness on the rear side of the refrigerator compartment 1111, which is conducive to the user's identification of items; in addition, the shelf component 132 can be disassembled and installed relative to the inner liner 111 to match different heights, and since the power supply component 142 can be rotated, the power supply component 142 will not be damaged when the shelf component 132 is disassembled and installed, thereby improving the safety of the entire refrigerator 100.

[0082] It should be noted that the following provides a detailed explanation of each structure.

[0083] [Box 110]

[0084] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The refrigerator 100 in this embodiment may include a cabinet 110 and a door 120. The cabinet 110 may be configured with a refrigeration compartment. The refrigeration compartment has an opening for storing food and other items. There may be one or more refrigeration compartments. When there are multiple refrigeration compartments, they may be divided into a refrigerator compartment 1111, a freezer compartment, or a variable temperature compartment, etc.

[0085] For example, the refrigerator body 110 may include an outer shell and an inner liner 111, the outer shell defining the external boundary of the refrigerator 100. The inner liner 111 may be disposed inside the outer shell and connected to the outer shell. The inner liner 111 may be recessed inward to form a cooling compartment. An insulation layer may be filled between the outer shell and the inner liner 111, the insulation layer insulating the cooling compartment, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the refrigerator 100.

[0086] The box 110 adopts a hollow cuboid structure. It is understood that in other embodiments, the box 110 may also adopt a hollow shell structure of other shapes.

[0087] [Gate 120]

[0088] It should be noted that the door 120 can be connected to the cabinet 110 to open or close the refrigeration compartment.

[0089] A door 120 is disposed on the front surface of the enclosure 110 to enclose the refrigeration compartment. The door 120 is configured to open and close the refrigeration compartment, meaning it can open and close the front opening of the enclosure 110. Doors 120 can be correspondingly assigned to refrigeration compartments; that is, each refrigeration compartment can have one or more doors 120. The number of refrigeration compartments and doors 120, as well as the function of the refrigeration compartments, can be selected based on specific circumstances. One door 120 can be assigned to the same refrigeration compartment. Alternatively, two doors 120 can be assigned to the same refrigeration compartment.

[0090] In some possible implementations of this application, the door 120 can be rotatably connected to the housing 110 about the height of the housing 110. The door 120 can be pulled or pushed to rotate relative to the housing 110, thereby opening or closing the refrigeration compartment.

[0091] It should be noted that the height direction of the cabinet 110 refers to the height direction of the cabinet 110 when the refrigerator 100 is in normal use, for example... Figure 1 The vertical direction Y is shown in the diagram. For example, the door 120 can be rotatably connected to the housing 110 via a hinge.

[0092] In some embodiments, the door 120 is a rotating door structure. The door 120 is rotatably disposed on the front side of the cabinet 110, and in this case, the door 120 can be used as a general door structure, such as a refrigerator door, a freezer door, etc.

[0093] Specifically, the door 120 and the cabinet 110 can be connected by a hinge so that the door 120 of the refrigerator 100 can rotate around the axis of the hinge, thereby opening and closing the door 120 of the refrigerator 100 and opening and closing the corresponding refrigeration compartment.

[0094] In some embodiments, the door 120 can also be a sliding door structure. The door 120 is slidably disposed on the front side of the cabinet 110, and in this case, the door 120 can be used as a drawer door. Specifically, guide rails (not shown in the figure) are respectively provided on the left and right inner side walls of the cabinet liner, and the door 120 is connected to the guide rails on both sides, thereby realizing the sliding function of the door 120 and realizing the opening and closing of the refrigeration compartment by extending and retracting the guide rails.

[0095] [Shelf assembly 130]

[0096] Figure 9 This is a first-view structural schematic diagram of the inner liner of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 10This is a second-view structural schematic diagram of the inner liner of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 11 This is an exploded view of the refrigerator middle shelf assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 12 This is a third-view structural diagram of the inner liner of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 13 for Figure 12 A magnified view of a portion of point IV. Figure 14 This is a fourth-view structural schematic diagram of the inner liner of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 15 This is a fifth-view structural diagram of the inner liner of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 16 for Figure 15 A magnified view of a portion of point V in the middle.

[0097] like Figures 9 to 16 As shown, it should be noted that the shelf assembly 130 provided in this application embodiment is installed in the inner liner 111 of the box. The purpose of the shelf assembly 130 is to carry food that needs to be refrigerated.

[0098] In actual use, the height of the food that needs to be refrigerated varies. In most cases, the distance between the two shelf components 130 is fixed, which means that taller food cannot be placed on the shelf component 130 for refrigeration in the refrigerator compartment 1111. In addition, some refrigerators 100 in the prior art use an electric method to adjust the height of the shelf component 130. However, this structure is more expensive and occupies more space.

[0099] Therefore, the shelf assembly 130 in this application can be height-adjusted, occupies less space, and has a lower cost. The specific solution is as follows:

[0100] In some embodiments, the shelf assembly 130 may include a plurality of mounting members 131, which are spaced apart along the height direction of the box body 110 on the inner liner 111. The mounting members 131 are located on the side wall of the inner liner 111 and on the side away from the door body 120.

[0101] Mounting component 131 is installed on the inner liner 111 of the box. There can be multiple mounting components 131. Multiple mounting components 131 can be spaced apart along the height direction of the box body 110 in the inner liner 111. The specific vertical spacing can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and there are no further restrictions here.

[0102] In some embodiments, the mounting component 131 is detachably mounted on the inner liner 111 of the box, and the detachable mounting component 131 facilitates installation by the manufacturer.

[0103] For example, the detachable method can be, for instance, snap-on mounting, bolt mounting, etc., without further limitation.

[0104] In some embodiments, the shelf assembly 130 may further include a shelf member 132 for carrying food ingredients. The shelf member 132 is configured to be movably connected to mounting members 131 at different heights to adjust the height of the shelf member 132 within the inner liner 111 of the box.

[0105] It should be noted that the mounting component 131 provides a stable support point for the shelf component 132 and can be movably connected to the mounting component 131 at a certain height. This allows the height of the shelf component 132 inside the inner liner 111 to be adjusted to match ingredients of different heights, thereby allowing the refrigerator compartment 1111 to hold more ingredients and making higher space utilization.

[0106] It should be noted that the shelf component 132 in the shelf assembly 130 of this application embodiment is a suspended type. That is, compared with the shelf component 132 in the existing structure which is removed by pulling out the rib of the inner liner 111, the suspended type adopted in this application is more aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, the light-emitting component 140 is also matched and set for the suspended shelf assembly 130.

[0107] Among them, the mounting component 131 provides support for the suspended shelf component 132 at different heights. Compared with the ribs that protrude in the refrigerator liner, the refrigerator liner of this application has a higher aesthetic appeal and can hold more food.

[0108] Furthermore, the shelf unit 132 has hooks 13211, and the hook design makes the shelf unit 132 easy to disassemble, making it more convenient for users to clean or maintain the inside of the equipment. This design reduces cleaning dead spots and maintains the hygiene of the refrigeration equipment. Moreover, the hook design is generally simple in structure and has a low manufacturing cost.

[0109] It should be noted that the shelf component 132 is movably connected to the mounting components 131 of different heights, allowing users to freely adjust the height of the shelf according to the height of different food or items. This accommodates food of various sizes and makes it convenient for users to store food of different heights, thereby improving the space utilization of the refrigerator compartment 1111. It is easy to operate and highly practical. Moreover, the design structure of this component is simple, which not only reduces manufacturing costs but also improves the reliability and durability of the device. At the same time, the entire component occupies little space and has a good aesthetic appeal.

[0110] Continue to refer to Figures 9 to 16 In some embodiments, the mounting member 131 is disposed on the side wall of the inner liner 111 and is located on the side away from the door 120.

[0111] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: placing the mounting component 131 on the side wall of the inner liner 111 and away from the door 120 can effectively optimize space utilization, reduce usage interference, improve the stability and aesthetics of the equipment, and also help improve the refrigeration effect and user experience.

[0112] It should be noted that the side walls are usually the most stable and robust parts of refrigeration equipment. Fixing the mounting piece 131 here can improve its overall stability and durability. This layout can make the interior of the refrigeration equipment look neater and more organized, enhancing its overall aesthetics.

[0113] In some embodiments, the inner liner 111 has a front side, a rear side, a left side, and a right side, wherein the front side is the closing part of the door 120, the rear side is adjacent to the rear side of the box body 110, and correspondingly, the left side of the inner liner 111 is adjacent to the rear side of the box body 110, and the right side of the inner liner 111 is adjacent to the right side of the box body 110.

[0114] For example, the mounting piece 131 may be located on the rear side.

[0115] In other embodiments, the mounting component 131 may be located on the left or right side, away from the front, which means that the mounting component 131 is positioned towards the rear. This ensures that the position of the mounting component 131 does not obstruct the user from taking or placing food, thus providing greater convenience and aesthetics.

[0116] Continue to refer to Figures 9 to 16 In some embodiments, the plurality of mounting members 131 are at least two sets of mounting members 131, and the at least two sets of mounting members 131 are spaced apart along the height direction of the box body 110 in the inner liner 111 of the box.

[0117] One of the at least two sets of mounting components 131 includes at least two mounting parts 1311, and the at least two mounting parts 1311 in the set of mounting components 131 are respectively provided on the opposite side walls of the inner liner 111; the shelf component 132 is movably provided on the set of mounting components 131.

[0118] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By setting multiple sets of mounting components 131 at reasonable intervals, users can flexibly adjust the spacing of each layer according to the height requirements of different items, and multi-layer storage can be realized. This design allows users to install shelf components 132 at different heights as needed, thereby maximizing the use of height space and helping to improve the overall storage efficiency of refrigeration equipment.

[0119] It should be noted that by placing two mounting parts 1311 of a set of mounting components 131 on opposite side walls of the inner liner 111, better support and stability can be provided for the shelf component 132. This symmetrical support structure helps to support heavier items and reduces the swaying or tilting of the shelf component 132.

[0120] Furthermore, the movable design of the shelf unit 132 allows users to easily install, remove, or adjust the shelves without the need for complex tools or operations. This convenience enhances the user experience, making the equipment easier to use and maintain.

[0121] In some embodiments, at least two mounting portions 1311 of a set of mounting members 131 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the inner liner 111.

[0122] Continue to refer to Figures 9 to 16 In some embodiments, the mounting part 1311 is located inside the refrigerator compartment 1111; the hook part 13211 is movably hooked onto the mounting part 1311.

[0123] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the shelf component 132 is connected to the mounting portion 1311 of the mounting component 131 via its hook portion 13211. This hook design makes the installation and removal of the shelf very simple, without the need for complex tools or cumbersome operations, allowing users to easily adjust the position of the shelf. Furthermore, the hook design generally provides good stability, ensuring that the shelf will not easily fall off or tilt when carrying items. The cooperative design of the mounting portion 1311 and the hook portion 13211 enhances the strength of the connection and improves safety during use.

[0124] It's worth noting that by flexibly adjusting the height and position of the shelves, users can more effectively utilize the internal space of the refrigeration unit. This design helps maximize storage capacity and accommodates items of different sizes and shapes.

[0125] Furthermore, the hook design makes the shelf unit 132 easy to disassemble, making it more convenient for users to clean or maintain the interior of the equipment. This design reduces cleaning dead spots and maintains the hygiene of the refrigeration equipment. Moreover, hook-type designs are generally simple in structure and have lower manufacturing costs.

[0126] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the mounting component 131 and the mounting part 1311 are connected in an integral connection manner. In other embodiments, the mounting component 131 and the mounting part 1311 can also be connected in other ways. As long as the connection method can fix the mounting component 131 and the mounting part 1311, the purpose of this embodiment can be achieved. Here, the connection method of the mounting component 131 and the mounting part 1311 is not limited.

[0127] Continue to refer to Figures 9 to 16 In some embodiments, there are at least two hooks 13211;

[0128] At least two hooks 13211 have different orientations and are respectively movably hooked to two adjacent mounting parts 1311 in the height direction of the housing 110.

[0129] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by using at least two hooks 13211 with different orientations, the shelf member 132 can be more securely fixed to the mounting member 131. The hooks 13211 with different orientations can effectively prevent the shelf member 132 from moving or swaying in the horizontal and vertical directions, thereby improving overall stability. Due to the different orientations of the hooks 13211, this design can prevent the shelf member 132 from falling off due to accidental collisions or vibrations. The design of adjacent mounting portions 1311 increases the fixing points of the shelf member 132, making it safer and more reliable.

[0130] It should be noted that by utilizing the adjacent mounting parts 1311 in the height direction of the cabinet 110, users can more precisely adjust the height of the shelves. This fine adjustment helps optimize the use of internal space and accommodate items of various sizes.

[0131] In some embodiments, at least two hooks 13211 are spaced apart along the height direction of the housing 110, with the upper hook 13211 facing the bottom side of the housing 110 and the lower hook 13211 facing the top or rear side of the housing 110.

[0132] Continue to refer to Figures 9 to 16 In some embodiments, shelf member 132 includes:

[0133] Support frame 1321, hook 13211 is provided on support frame 1321;

[0134] Shelf 1322 is located on the upper side of support frame 1321.

[0135] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: The support frame 1321 provides the main structural support for the shelf component 132, ensuring that the shelf 1322 can stably support items, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the shelf component 132. This allows the shelf component 132 to support heavier items and is suitable for various storage needs. The hook 13211 is provided on the support frame 1321, so that the entire shelf component 132 can be firmly hung on the mounting part 1311, increasing the overall stability.

[0136] In some embodiments, due to the integrated design of the hook 13211 and the support frame 1321, users can easily hang the shelf 132 on the mounting portion 1311 at different heights. This flexibility allows users to adjust the height of the shelf 1322 as needed to accommodate items of different sizes.

[0137] In some embodiments, the shelf 1322 is located above the support frame 1321 and is typically a flat surface for easy cleaning. Users can easily remove the shelf 1322 for cleaning, maintaining the hygiene of the refrigeration equipment.

[0138] In some embodiments, the shelf 1322 may be made of a variety of materials, such as metal, plastic or glass, to meet different aesthetic and functional requirements.

[0139] It should be noted that by rationally designing the size and shape of the support frame 1321 and the shelf 1322, the shelf component 132 can maximize the use of the internal space of the refrigeration equipment and improve storage efficiency.

[0140] In some embodiments, the support frame 1321 extends along a first direction;

[0141] The hook 13211 is located on the side facing the rear of the box 110, and the first direction is from the front of the box 110 to the rear of the box 110.

[0142] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the support frame 1321 extends along the length direction (first direction X) of the housing 110, which can provide better stability and support capacity, especially when subjected to forces from different directions, refer to Figure 6 The first direction X in the equation.

[0143] It should be noted that the hook 13211 is located on the side facing the rear of the housing 110. This design effectively utilizes the rear space of the housing 110, avoiding the occupation of the front or side space, thereby optimizing the overall space utilization. Furthermore, this design may make the installation and removal of the support frame 1321 more convenient, allowing users to select different heights and thus detach the support frame 1321, hooking the hook 13211 on the support frame 1321 onto the mounting portion 1311 at different heights.

[0144] Continue to refer to Figures 9 to 16 In some embodiments, the shelf assembly 130 further includes:

[0145] A fixing bracket 133 is provided on the outer wall of the inner liner 111 and extends along the height direction of the box body 110. The fixing bracket 133 is used to fix multiple mounting parts 131.

[0146] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the fixed bracket 133 is set on the outer wall of the inner liner 111 and extends along the height direction of the box body 110. This design provides a solid foundation for supporting multiple mounting components 131, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire shelving system.

[0147] By using the fixed bracket 133, multiple mounting components 131 can be installed and adjusted on a unified platform. This design simplifies the installation process and ensures that the height and position of all shelf components 132 remain consistent.

[0148] It should be noted that because the mounting component 131 is fixed to a unified bracket, it is more convenient for users to perform maintenance or replacement. The fixed bracket 133 provides an easily accessible structure, making the replacement and adjustment of the mounting component 131 simpler. The fixed bracket 133 not only provides stability, but also enhances the load-bearing capacity of the entire shelving system through its structural design. This is especially important for applications that require storing heavier items.

[0149] In some embodiments, the mounting member 131 passes through the inner wall and outer wall of the left side of the inner liner 111, wherein the mounting part 1311 is located inside the refrigerator compartment 1111 to facilitate the hook part 13211 for hooking and installation.

[0150] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 133 is placed between the foam layer and the inner liner 111, concealing it within the internal structure of the equipment. This concealed installation method does not affect the appearance design of the refrigeration equipment, maintaining its aesthetics and tidiness.

[0151] The foam layer is typically used to provide insulation and structural support. Embedding the mounting bracket 133 within the foam layer enhances its stability and load-bearing capacity. This design helps support heavier shelves and stored items. The insulation properties of the foam layer help maintain a stable internal temperature in the refrigeration equipment. Placing the mounting bracket 133 within the foam layer ensures that it does not negatively impact the equipment's insulation performance, thus maintaining efficient energy use.

[0152] Continue to refer to Figures 9 to 16 In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 133 includes an adhesive element 1331.

[0153] The fixed bracket 133 also includes a fixed frame 1332, which has a mounting surface. The mounting surface is attached to the outer wall of the inner liner 111 of the box by an adhesive piece 1331.

[0154] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by using the adhesive 1331, the fixing bracket 1332 can be quickly and conveniently installed on the outer wall of the inner liner 111, and multiple mounting parts 131 are passed through the fixing bracket 1332 and the side wall of the inner liner 111 to improve stability.

[0155] The adhesive component 1331 typically possesses a degree of elasticity, which can absorb vibration and noise to some extent. This characteristic helps improve the quietness of refrigeration equipment and enhances the user experience.

[0156] The adhesive patch 1331 serves as an insulating layer between the mounting bracket 1332 and the inner liner 111, reducing heat conduction and thus helping to maintain the energy efficiency and internal temperature stability of the refrigeration equipment. Due to the concealed nature of the adhesive patch 1331, the installation of the mounting bracket 1332 does not affect the appearance design of the refrigeration equipment, maintaining its aesthetics and tidiness.

[0157] In some embodiments, the adhesive 1331 is an adhesive backing.

[0158] In some embodiments, the mounting element 131 is a screw.

[0159] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the screw, as the mounting component 131, can provide a very firm fixing effect. By screwing the screw into the structure of the fixing bracket 133 and the inner liner 111, it can be ensured that the shelf assembly 130 will not easily move or fall off during use.

[0160] The use of screws enhances the load-bearing capacity of shelving systems, making them suitable for applications requiring the storage of heavier items. Screws are typically made of metal, offering high durability and corrosion resistance. These material properties allow screws to operate for extended periods without failure in refrigerated environments.

[0161] Furthermore, if adjustment or replacement of the shelf assembly 130 is required, the screws can be easily removed and reinstalled. This maintainability allows users to flexibly adjust the shelf configuration according to their needs. As a standardized connector, the screws are highly compatible and can be used with various types and designs of mounting brackets 133 and shelf assemblies 130 to adapt to different design requirements.

[0162] In some embodiments, a first connection hole is provided on the fixing bracket 1332. The first connection hole may be a threaded hole. The mounting member 131 may pass through the first connection hole and may be adjusted for fixing and disassembly by tightening or loosening.

[0163] In addition, a second connecting hole is provided on the inner liner 111. The second connecting hole can also be a threaded hole. The mounting part 131 can pass through the second connecting hole and can be adjusted for fixing and disassembly by tightening or loosening it.

[0164] Specifically, the mounting component 131 passes through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole in sequence and is tightened. The fixing bracket 1332 provides mounting strength for the mounting component 131 on the outside of the inner liner 111 of the box to support multiple mounting components 131.

[0165] [Light-emitting component 140]

[0166] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 8It should be noted that the purpose of the light-emitting component 140 provided in this application embodiment is to increase the light brightness in the refrigerator compartment 1111 and improve the convenience for users to pick up and put down items.

[0167] It should be noted that the light-emitting component 140 may include a light-emitting element 141, which is disposed on the shelf component 132 and provides light into the refrigerator compartment 1111.

[0168] In some embodiments, the light-emitting element 141 can be an LED (light-emitting diode), which is a high-efficiency, long-life light-emitting device.

[0169] In other embodiments, the light-emitting element 141 can be an OLED (organic light-emitting diode). OLEDs use organic materials as the light-emitting layer and have advantages such as flexibility, thinness, and high contrast.

[0170] In other embodiments, the light-emitting element 141 can be a fluorescent lamp, which generates ultraviolet light by exciting mercury vapor with an electric current, and then converts it into visible light by phosphor.

[0171] It should be noted that the light-emitting component 140 may also include a power supply component 142, which supplies power to the light-emitting component 141.

[0172] In this embodiment, the light-emitting element 141 and the power supply element 142 are configured to be connected or disconnected. When the light-emitting element 141 and the power supply element 142 are connected, the light-emitting element 141 is electrically connected to the power supply element 142, thereby supplying power to the light-emitting element 141. The light-emitting element 141 emits light from the rear side of the shelf member 132, which not only improves the brightness of the light at the rear of the refrigerator compartment 1111, making it easier for users to identify items, but also makes the light more uniform after refraction and reflection by the shelf member 132, avoiding the problems of blind spots and direct light shining into the user's eyes.

[0173] When the light-emitting element 141 and the power supply element 142 are disconnected, the light-emitting element 141 and the power supply element 142 are disconnected. At this time, the power supply element 142 will not supply power to the light-emitting element 141, which is safe and controllable and improves the safety of the refrigerator 100.

[0174] In some embodiments, the power supply unit 142 has a power supply position and a power off position.

[0175] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the shelf component 132 is installed into the inner liner 111, the power supply component 142 is configured to rotate to the power supply position along the direction facing the shelf component 132. The power supply component 142 and the light-emitting component 141 are electrically connected, and the power supply component 142 supplies power to the light-emitting component 141.

[0176] like Figures 5 to 8As shown, when the shelf component 132 is detached from the inner liner 111, the power supply component 142 is configured to rotate to the power-off position in the direction away from the shelf component 132, and the power supply component 142 and the light-emitting component 141 are detached.

[0177] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: After the shelf component 132 is installed on the inner liner 111, the power supply component 142 is rotated so that the power supply component 142 is electrically connected to the light-emitting component 141 to achieve light emission. Since the power supply component 142 is rotated only after the shelf component 132 is installed, the power supply and the installation of the shelf component 132 are separated into two steps, so the power supply component 142 of the air duct will not be damaged due to the large range of disassembly and assembly.

[0178] It should be noted that the installation of the shelf component 132 and the connection of the power supply are divided into two steps. First, the shelf component 132 is installed, and then the electrical connection is achieved by rotating the power supply component 142. This design can effectively reduce wear or damage to the power supply component 142 during the installation or removal of the shelf component 132. Since the power supply component 142 is rotated and connected only after the shelf component 132 is fixed, direct impact or excessive bending of the power supply component 142 during installation or removal can be avoided, thus protecting the integrity of the power supply system.

[0179] In some embodiments, the power supply component 142 is designed to be rotatable, possibly employing a plug-and-socket structure, allowing the circuit to be closed by rotation after the shelf component 132 is fixed. This design can improve the reliability and durability of the connection.

[0180] It should be noted that the rotation of the power supply component 142 can be automatically controlled, which makes it convenient for users to operate.

[0181] When the shelf component 132 detaches from the inner liner 111, the power supply component 142 rotates to the power-off position, cutting off the power supply to the light-emitting component 141. This not only saves energy but also extends the service life of the light-emitting component 141. The power supply component 142 can switch between the power-on and power-off positions, and through the automatic power-off function, it avoids the risk of short circuits or electric shocks that may occur during the disassembly of the shelf component 132, thus improving the safety of the equipment.

[0182] In the power-on position, the electrical connection between the power supply component 142 and the light-emitting component 141 must be reliable to ensure a stable current supply. Simultaneously, in the power-off position, the connection must be completely disconnected to prevent leakage or other electrical problems. This ensures flexibility and reliability under different configurations.

[0183] Figure 17 This is a first-view structural diagram of a refrigerator's light-emitting component installed inside the refrigerator, provided as an embodiment of this application.

[0184] Figure 18This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the light-emitting component in the refrigerator provided in this application embodiment, excluding the light-emitting box and the power supply box. Figure 19 This is a partial exploded view from a second perspective, illustrating the installation of a light-emitting component in the inner liner of a refrigerator, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 20 This is a first-view structural schematic diagram of the light-emitting component in a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 21 This is a first-view diagram of a partial explosion of a light-emitting component in a refrigerator, provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 22 This is another partial explosion diagram of the light-emitting component in a refrigerator from a first-view perspective, provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0185] like Figures 17 to 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the power supply component 142 includes a power supply terminal 1422 configured to be connected to an external power source.

[0186] The power supply component 142 also includes a first conductive component 1421, the first end of which is electrically connected to the power supply terminal 1422, and the second end of which is connected to or disconnected from the light-emitting component 141.

[0187] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by designing a clear connection and disconnection mechanism, the risk of short circuits due to misoperation or accidental contact is reduced, thus improving system safety. The second end of the first conductive element 1421 can be connected to or disconnected from the light-emitting element 141. This design allows for automatic or manual control of the power supply connection status under different operating conditions, providing flexibility.

[0188] It should be noted that the design of the first conductive element 1421 ensures a stable electrical connection between the power supply terminal 1422 and the light-emitting element 141, reducing the possibility of poor contact.

[0189] When no power supply is required, the second end of the first conductive element 1421 can be disconnected from the light-emitting element 141, avoiding unnecessary power consumption and thus improving energy efficiency. Disconnecting the power supply when not in use helps protect the light-emitting element 141 and other electrical components, extending their service life.

[0190] Users can easily connect and disconnect the power supply without complicated operations, improving the user experience. The design allows users to easily identify the connection status, reducing the possibility of accidental operation.

[0191] In some embodiments, the second end of the first conductive element 1421 may be exposed to the cold storage compartment 1111 in order to be connected to the light-emitting element 141.

[0192] In some embodiments of this application, the shelf 1322 is light-transmitting, and the light emitted by the light-emitting element 141 is refracted and reflected by the shelf 1322 and directed to various positions in the refrigerator compartment 1111, thereby improving the uniformity of light in the refrigerator compartment 1111, avoiding the generation of light dead zones inside the refrigerator compartment 1111, making it easier for users to identify items in the refrigerator compartment 1111, and improving the convenience of the refrigerator 100.

[0193] It should be noted that the light-emitting element 141 in this embodiment is disposed on the rear side of the shelf 1322. This arrangement can, on the one hand, relatively hide the light-emitting element 141, improve the regularity of the interior of the refrigerator 100; it helps to protect the light-emitting element 141 and avoid collisions with the light-emitting element 141 when repeatedly taking items off and putting them on the shelf 132; moreover, the rear-side placement of the light-emitting element 141 is more conducive to providing sufficient light to the rear side of the refrigerator compartment 1111, reducing the frequency of dark corners; in addition, rear-side illumination can prevent light from shining directly into the user's eyes, avoiding glare problems, and further improving the convenience of using the refrigerator 100.

[0194] like Figures 17 to 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the light-emitting element 141 includes a lamp plate 1411 disposed at the end of the shelf member 132. The light-emitting element 141 also includes a second conductive element 1412 electrically connected to the lamp plate 1411.

[0195] The above-described technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: The light panel 1411, located at the end of the shelf member 132, provides direct and uniform illumination. This optimized positioning maximizes the lighting effect and reduces shadows and dark areas. By directly placing the light panel 1411 at the end of the shelf member 132, the design is simple, reducing additional components and complex installation steps.

[0196] The second conductive element 1412, which is electrically connected to the lamp panel 1411, ensures stable current transmission. This reliable electrical connection improves the overall stability and performance of the system.

[0197] In some embodiments, the light panel 1411 may be an LED light panel 1411, which extends along the width direction of the refrigerator 100 and is disposed at the end of the shelf 1322.

[0198] In some embodiments, the light panel 1411 can be designed to be light-transmitting. The light-transmitting light panel 1411 is typically made of glass, which is low in cost. Of course, this is not a limitation on the material of the light panel 1411; the light panel 1411 can also be other light-transmitting structures, such as light-transmitting plastics.

[0199] In some embodiments, the light panel 1411 can emit other colors such as white, yellow, green, blue, and red.

[0200] Figure 23This is a sixth-view structural diagram of the inner liner of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 24 for Figure 23 A magnified view of a portion of point VI. Figure 25 for Figure 23 A magnified view of a portion of point VII in the middle.

[0201] In some embodiments, a shelf member 132 corresponds to a light panel 1411.

[0202] like Figures 23 to 25 As shown, by way of example, there are two power supply components 142. Specifically, one shelf 1322 corresponds to two power supply components 142. The two power supply components 142 are arranged on the left and right sides of the shelf 1322. Correspondingly, since one shelf component 132 corresponds to one lamp board 1411, two second conductive components 1412 are also arranged on the left and right sides of the shelf 1322.

[0203] In other embodiments, there may be multiple shelf members 132, and the corresponding light panels 1411 may be the same or different in color. Specifically, the color can be adjusted according to the user's usage habits.

[0204] Of course, the light panel 1411 can also be set as a preservation light to facilitate the preservation of food in the refrigerator compartment 1111.

[0205] In other embodiments, one shelf member 132 may correspond to multiple light panels 1411. When there are multiple light panels 1411, the multiple light panels 1411 are spaced apart along the height direction of the shelf 1322, or the multiple light panels 1411 are attached along the height direction of the shelf 1322.

[0206] like Figures 17 to 25 As shown, in some embodiments, the power supply component 142 further includes a power supply box 1423, which is rotatably disposed in the inner liner 111 of the box. The power supply terminal 1422 and the first end of the first conductive element 1421 are respectively disposed in the power supply box 1423, and the second end of the first conductive element 1421 protrudes from the outer wall of the power supply box 1423.

[0207] And / or, the light-emitting element 141 further includes: a light-emitting box 1414, mounted on the shelf 132, with the lamp board 1411 and the second conductive element 1412 respectively located inside the light-emitting box 1414.

[0208] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by integrating the power supply terminal 1422 and the first conductive element 1421 into the power supply box 1423, and integrating the lamp board 1411 and the second conductive element 1412 into the light-emitting box 1414, physical protection is provided, the risk of dust, moisture and physical damage is reduced, safety is improved, and installation, maintenance and replacement are convenient.

[0209] It should be noted that the second end of the first conductive element 1421 protrudes from the outer wall of the power supply box 1423, ensuring a stable electrical connection with the second conductive element 1412 of the light-emitting element 141. This design reduces the risk of poor contact and improves the reliability of the system.

[0210] In some embodiments, the power supply box 1423 of this application is used to accommodate the power supply terminal 1422 and the first conductive element 1421. It may include two fixedly connected half-shells to form a space for accommodating the power supply terminal 1422 and the first conductive element 1421.

[0211] It should be noted that the second conductive element 1412 located inside the light-emitting box 1414 is electrically connected to the lamp board 1411. When the first conductive element 1421 is electrically connected to the second conductive element 1412, the electricity from the power supply terminal 1422 is transmitted to the lamp board 1411 through the first conductive element 1421 and the second conductive element 1412 in sequence, thus supplying power to the lamp board 1411 and making it emit light.

[0212] It should be noted that since the second end of the first conductive element 1421 protrudes from the outer wall of the power supply box 1423, the power supply element 142 needs to be rotated to the power-off position before the shelf component 132 is installed into the inner liner 111. In other words, the first conductive element 1421 will also rotate at this time to make way for the subsequent installation of the shelf component 132. After the shelf component 132 is installed, the power supply element 142 is rotated to the power supply position so that the second end of the first conductive element 1421 is electrically connected to the second conductive element 1412.

[0213] Furthermore, the power supply component 142 is designed to rotate primarily because the space behind the inner liner 111 is relatively small. Since the light-emitting component 141 is mounted on the shelf 1322, it will disconnect from the power supply component 142 as the shelf 1322 is disassembled and its height is changed. While ensuring a stable electrical connection between the light-emitting component 141 and the power supply component 142, it is also necessary to ensure that the installation of the shelf 1322 is not obstructed when it is reinstalled. After the shelf 1322 is installed, a simple rotation is all that is needed to achieve an electrical connection between the two components. The process is simple and the stability is high.

[0214] In some embodiments, the light-emitting component 140 further includes a decorative strip 144, which is mounted on the end of the shelf member 132 and wraps around the light panel 1411.

[0215] For example, a receiving groove for mounting a light panel 1411 is formed within the decorative strip 144, and the light panel 1411 is mounted within the receiving groove. The light panel 1411 may include a circuit board and LEDs disposed on the circuit board. The ambiance of the refrigerator 100 can be enhanced by setting the color of the light emitted by the LEDs.

[0216] For example, the decorative strip 144 has an opening through which the rear end of the shelf 1322 passes, so that the decorative strip 144 can be snapped into the rear end of the shelf 1322, thereby fixing the light panel 1411 to the shelf 1322.

[0217] like Figure 18 As shown, exemplarily, along the direction from the front side of the housing 110 to the rear side of the housing 110, the decorative strip 144 is divided into three sections. The first section has an opening to engage with the side wall of the shelf 1322. The third section has a larger cross-section than the first section to form a receiving groove to accommodate the lamp panel 1411. The third section is a sealing section that can enclose the lamp panel 1411 within the decorative strip 144, preventing the lamp panel 1411 from being corroded by moisture and improving the safety of the lamp panel 1411. The second section is a transition section to connect the first and third sections.

[0218] like Figure 18 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the light-emitting box 1414 can be divided into two sections along the direction from the front side of the box 110 to the rear side of the box 110. The first section of the light-emitting box 1414 matches the structure of the entire decorative strip 144 and wraps around the decorative strip 144. The second section of the light-emitting box 1414 is connected to the first section of the light-emitting box 1414 to accommodate the second conductive element 1412. The second section of the light-emitting box 1414 extends along the rear side facing the inner liner 111 to ensure that the second conductive element 1412 is electrically connected to the first conductive element 1421.

[0219] like Figures 18 to 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the light-emitting element 141 further includes a third conductive element 1413, which is installed between the lamp board (1411) and the second conductive element (1412); the third conductive element 1413 is electrically connected to the lamp board 1411 and the second conductive element 1412.

[0220] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the third conductive element 1413 acts as a bridge between the lamp panel 1411 and the second conductive element 1412, providing a more stable electrical connection. The presence of the third conductive element 1413 makes it easier to replace the lamp panel 1411 or other components without interfering with other electrical connections. This design helps simplify the maintenance process and reduce maintenance costs.

[0221] It should be noted that the third conductive element 1413 serves to electrically connect the lamp board 1411 and the second conductive element 1412. Its first end is fixed to the lamp board 1411 and electrically connected to the lamp board 1411. For example, the first end of the third conductive element 1413 is welded to the electrical connection structure of the lamp board 1411, which can achieve both mechanical fixed connection and electrical connection.

[0222] In some embodiments, the light-emitting element 141 further includes a nut 1415, which can be pre-welded to the front of the lamp plate 1411 as the positive / negative electrode of the lamp plate 1411. After the lamp plate 1411 is installed inside the decorative strip 144, a third conductive element 1413 is installed from the outside to the inside, so that the third conductive element 1413 is connected to the nut 1415.

[0223] For example, the third conductive element 1413 may be a machine screw.

[0224] like Figures 18 to 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the second conductive element 1412 has a conductive groove 14121 that extends away from the direction of the first conductive element 1421.

[0225] When the first conductive element 1421 extends into the conductive groove 14121, the first conductive element 1421 and the second conductive element 1412 are electrically connected so that the power supply element 142 supplies power to the light-emitting element 141.

[0226] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the conductive groove 14121 on the second conductive member 1412 provides a clear insertion path for the first conductive member 1421. The presence of the conductive groove 14121 allows the first conductive member 1421 to be easily aligned and inserted into the second conductive member 1412, thereby simplifying the installation and connection process. The conductive groove 14121 not only provides electrical connection but also provides a certain degree of mechanical fixing, preventing the connected parts from loosening or falling off during use.

[0227] It should be noted that the design of conductive groove 14121 may increase the contact area between conductive components, thereby improving current transmission efficiency and the overall electrical performance of the system.

[0228] In some embodiments, the second conductive element 1412 can be a bent element, and the conductive groove 14121 is a groove formed by bending the second conductive element 1412, which has a generally U-shaped structure.

[0229] like Figures 17 to 19 As shown, in some embodiments, the light-emitting component 140 further includes a mounting bracket 143 mounted on the rear side of the inner liner 111, and the mounting bracket 143 has a rotation hole 1431.

[0230] The power supply component 142 has a rotating shaft 1424, which is configured to extend into the rotating hole 1431 and rotate relative to the mounting bracket 143.

[0231] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the mounting bracket 143 provides a stable foundation, ensuring that the power supply component 142 remains secure after installation. The design of the rotating shaft 1424 of the power supply component 142 allows it to rotate relative to the mounting bracket 143. The rotating hole 1431 allows the rotating shaft 1424 to be easily inserted and fixed, simplifying the installation process. This design not only improves installation efficiency but also reduces the requirements for installation accuracy.

[0232] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 143 can be mounted on the inner liner 111 by screws or snap-fit ​​structures.

[0233] In some embodiments, the first conductive element 1421 is a conductive post; and / or,

[0234] The second conductive element 1412 is a conductive spring; and / or,

[0235] like Figure 20 , Figure 21 as well as Figure 22 As shown, a water outlet hole 14141 is provided on the light-emitting box 1414.

[0236] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: The conductive post design provides a stable and reliable electrical connection. Its rigid structure ensures good contact when inserted into the conductive groove 14121, reducing the risk of poor contact. The conductive spring has a certain degree of elasticity, which can adapt to slight displacement and vibration. This ensures continuous pressure is provided during the connection process, maintaining stable electrical contact.

[0237] It should be noted that, due to its elasticity, the spring can more easily mate with the conductive post, simplifying the installation process and improving the reliability of the connection.

[0238] In some embodiments, the conductive posts are typically made of a robust material that can withstand multiple insertion and removal operations, extending their service life.

[0239] In some embodiments, the design of the drain hole 14141 helps to drain moisture that may enter the light-emitting box 1414, preventing water accumulation from damaging electrical components. This improves the system's waterproof performance and overall reliability. Effective drainage reduces moisture corrosion and damage to internal components, extending the lifespan of the light-emitting component 140.

[0240] In some embodiments, the first conductive element 1421 may have various structural forms, such as conductive pillars, conductive sheets, etc.

[0241] In some embodiments, the first conductive element 1421 of this application has a cylindrical structure, which has high structural strength, is easy to process, and helps to ensure the stability of the connection. Of course, this is not a limitation on the shape of the first conductive element 1421. For example, the first conductive element 1421 can also be a rectangular column, etc.
