[0033] When the inside of the refrigerator needs to store bulk vegetables, fruits, wine and other items, the shelf for layering is usually taken out, but this operation is quite cumbersome and cannot achieve simple and quick adjustment of the inside space of the refrigerator. In order to solve the problem of inconvenient adjustment of the inside space of the refrigerator, in view of this, the utility model provides a shelf assembly.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4In an embodiment of the present application, the shelf assembly 100 includes at least three shelves 1, and any adjacent shelves 1 are rotatably connected to each other, so that the shelf assembly 100 has an unfolded state and a folded state. When the shelf assembly 100 is in the unfolded state, the at least three shelves 1 are arranged side by side in sequence. When the shelf assembly 100 is in the folded state, at least one of the shelves 1 is arranged in overlap with another shelf 1.

[0035] The shelf assembly 100 is used to be placed on the support table 300 arranged on opposite sides of the inner container 200 of the refrigerator, and includes at least three shelves 1. Any adjacent shelves 1 are rotatably connected to each other to realize unfolding and folding functions. When the shelf is unfolded, the shelves 1 are arranged side by side in sequence to provide a larger space for placement. When the shelf is folded, at least one of the shelves 1 is arranged in overlap with another shelf 1 to reduce the occupied space. This design enables the shelf assembly 100 to be flexibly switched between the unfolded state and the folded state through the rotatable connection, thereby solving the problem of inconvenient adjustment of the internal space of the refrigerator.

[0036] It should be noted that the shelf assembly 100 is used to be placed on the support table 300 arranged on the inner container 200 of the refrigerator. Specifically, the shelf assembly 100 of the present application realizes switching of the shelf between the unfolded state and the folded state through rotatable connection of the at least three shelves 1. When a larger space is required in the refrigerator, the shelf can be folded to reduce the occupied space. When layered placement of articles is required, the shelf can be unfolded to provide sufficient placement area. Thus, the shelf assembly 100 of the present application can flexibly adjust the internal space of the refrigerator according to actual needs, simplifies the operation process, and improves the use convenience.

[0037] The shelf 1 is the main part of the shelf assembly 100, and the rotatable connection refers to the connection between the shelves 1 through a rotating shaft and a shaft sleeve 2, so that the shelves 1 can rotate around the rotating shaft. The unfolded state refers to the state in which the shelf is completely unfolded, and the shelves 1 are arranged side by side in sequence. The folded state refers to the state in which the shelf is partially or completely folded, and at least one of the shelves 1 is arranged in overlap with another shelf 1.

[0038] The shelf assembly 100 includes at least three shelves 1, and realizes unfolding and folding functions through rotatable connection. The shelf assembly 100 can be implemented in various ways, for example, the number of shelves 1 can be increased to four, five, or six as needed. The rotation between the shelves 1 can be realized through a rotating shaft cooperation, and the rotatable connection between the shelves 1 can be realized through a rotating shaft and a shaft sleeve 2. The rotating shaft can be arranged at both ends of the shelf 1, and adjacent shelves 1 are connected through the shaft sleeve 2. The specific numerical value and parameter range of the shelf assembly 100 can be adjusted according to actual needs, such as the size of the shelf 1 and the diameter of the rotating shaft.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the shelf assembly 100 has remarkable advantages and innovative points. The shelf in the prior art is usually fixed and cannot flexibly adjust the internal space of the refrigerator. The utility model realizes the switching of the shelf between the unfolded and folded states through the rotary connection between the shelves 1, can flexibly adjust the internal space of the refrigerator according to the need, simplifies the operation process and improves the use convenience.

[0040] The technical scheme of the utility model realizes the switching of the shelf assembly 100 between the unfolded and folded states on the support table 300 in the refrigerator, thereby flexibly adjusting the internal space of the refrigerator, simplifying the operation process and improving the convenience of use of the refrigerator.

[0041] Therefore, the shelf assembly 100 can be flexibly switched between the unfolded and folded states according to the need, and the problem of inconvenient adjustment of the internal space of the refrigerator is solved.

[0043] The shelf comprises a front shelf 11, a middle shelf 12 and a rear shelf 13, and the three shelves 1 are combined together in a rotary connection manner. The front shelf 11 and the rear shelf 13 are respectively connected to two ends of the middle shelf 12. In the unfolded state, the three shelves 1 are arranged side by side to provide a larger shelf area. In the folded state, the shelves 1 can be overlapped or partially overlapped to reduce the occupied space. Through this design, the shelf can be adjusted to the unfolded or folded state according to the need, thereby realizing the flexible adjustment of the internal space of the refrigerator and solving the problem of complicated operation of the shelf when storing large-volume articles.

[0044] The shelf assembly 100 includes a front shelf 11, a middle shelf 12 and a rear shelf 13, and the shelves can be switched between the unfolded and folded states through the rotating connection, thereby solving the problem that the shelves in the refrigerator cannot be simply and quickly adjusted when storing large-volume items. Compared with the prior art, the shelf assembly 100 can realize the flexible adjustment of the internal space of the refrigerator through a simple folding operation without taking out the shelves, thereby significantly improving the convenience and flexibility of use.

[0045] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the opposite ends of the front shelf 11 are respectively provided with first rotating shafts 113, the opposite ends of the middle shelf 12 are respectively provided with second rotating shafts 123, and the first rotating shafts 113 and the second rotating shafts 123 are rotatably connected through the shaft sleeves 2; the opposite ends of the middle shelf 12 are respectively provided with third rotating shafts 124, the opposite ends of the rear shelf 13 are respectively provided with fourth rotating shafts 133, and the third rotating shafts 124 and the fourth rotating shafts 133 are rotatably connected through the shaft sleeves 2.

[0046] The shelf assembly 100 includes a front shelf 11, a middle shelf 12 and a rear shelf 13, and the shelves can be switched between the unfolded and folded states through the rotating connection, thereby solving the problem that the shelves in the refrigerator cannot be simply and quickly adjusted when storing large-volume items. Compared with the prior art, the shelf assembly 100 can realize the flexible adjustment of the internal space of the refrigerator through a simple folding operation without taking out the shelves, thereby significantly improving the convenience and flexibility of use.

[0047] Specifically, the opposite ends of the front shelf 11 are respectively provided with first rotating shafts 113, the opposite ends of the middle shelf 12 are respectively provided with second rotating shafts 123, and the first rotating shafts 113 and the second rotating shafts 123 are rotatably connected through the shaft sleeves 2. This connection mode allows the front shelf 11 and the middle shelf 12 to rotate relative to each other, facilitating the unfolding and folding of the shelf assembly 100. Similarly, the opposite ends of the middle shelf 12 are respectively provided with third rotating shafts 124, the opposite ends of the rear shelf 13 are respectively provided with fourth rotating shafts 133, and the third rotating shafts 124 and the fourth rotating shafts 133 are rotatably connected through the shaft sleeves 2. This connection mode allows the middle shelf 12 and the rear shelf 13 to rotate relative to each other, further improving the flexibility of the shelf assembly 100.

[0048] The shaft sleeve 2 can be made of wear-resistant material to improve the durability and stability of the rotating connection. Further, the rotating shaft can be designed according to actual needs, for example, a deformation groove can be formed in the middle of the rotating shaft to increase the flexibility and adaptability of the rotating connection. Thus, the present application realizes the flexible expansion and folding of the shelf assembly 100 by setting multiple rotating shafts and shaft sleeves 2, and solves the problem of complicated operation of the shelf assembly 100 in the adjustment of the internal space of the refrigerator.

[0049] Through the above technical solution, the present application provides a shelf assembly 100 which can be conveniently converted between the expanded and folded states. Compared with the prior art, the present application has the advantages that the flexible adjustment of the shelf assembly 100 is realized by setting multiple rotating shafts and shaft sleeves 2, the adjustment operation of the internal space of the refrigerator is simplified, and the convenience and flexibility of use are improved.

[0050] Further, in an embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the front shelf plate 11 includes a first plate body 111 and a first connecting piece 112 connected to opposite ends of the first plate body 111, and the first rotating shaft 113 is arranged on the first connecting piece 112; the middle shelf plate 12 includes a second plate body 121 and a second connecting piece 122 connected to opposite ends of the second plate body 121, and the second rotating shaft 123 and the third rotating shaft 124 are arranged on the second connecting piece 122; the rear shelf plate 13 includes a third plate body 131 and a third connecting piece 132 connected to opposite ends of the third plate body 131, and the fourth rotating shaft 133 is arranged on the third connecting piece 132.

[0051] Specifically, the front shelf plate 11, the middle shelf plate 12 and the rear shelf plate 13 are respectively composed of a plate body and a connecting piece, and a rotating shaft is arranged on the connecting piece to realize the rotating connection and fixation between the shelf plates 1. The first connecting piece 112 and the first rotating shaft 113 are responsible for the connection of the front shelf plate 11; the second connecting piece 122, the second rotating shaft 123 and the third rotating shaft 124 are responsible for the connection of the middle shelf plate 12; and the third connecting piece 132 and the fourth rotating shaft 133 are responsible for the connection of the rear shelf plate 13. Through the cooperation of these technical features, the rotating connection and fixation between the shelf plates 1 in the shelf assembly 100 are realized, and the stability and flexibility of the shelf assembly 100 in the expanded and folded states are solved.

[0052] Specifically, the first connecting piece 112 can be fixedly connected with the first plate body 111 through screws or buckles, and the first rotating shaft 113 can be made of metal material to ensure its durability and stability in long-term use. The second connecting piece 122 and the third connecting piece 132 are similar in structure to the first connecting piece 112 and are fixedly connected with the second plate body 121 and the third plate body 131 respectively. The second rotating shaft 123 and the third rotating shaft 124 can be connected with the first rotating shaft 113 or the fourth rotating shaft 133 through the shaft sleeve 2, and the shaft sleeve 2 can be made of plastic or metal material to ensure the smoothness and reliability of the rotating connection. In addition, the connection mode of the rotating shaft can be diversified, such as pin connection or threaded connection, further improving the diversity and applicability of the connection.

[0053] Therefore, the present application realizes the rotating connection and fixation between the shelves 1 by arranging rotating shafts on the connecting pieces of the front shelf 11, the middle shelf 12 and the rear shelf 13. Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the present application not only solves the stability and flexibility problems of the shelf assembly 100 in the unfolded and folded states, but also simplifies the structure of the shelf assembly 100, facilitates manufacturing and installation, and improves the overall performance and user experience of the product.

[0054] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , the first connecting piece 112 is provided with a first insertion slot 112a, and the first plate body 111 is inserted into the first insertion slot 112a; the second connecting piece 122 is provided with a second insertion slot 122a, and the second plate body 121 is inserted into the second insertion slot 122a; and the third connecting piece 132 is provided with a third insertion slot 132a, and the third plate body 131 is inserted into the third insertion slot 132a.

[0055] Through the above design, the shelves 1 and the connecting pieces can be stably connected to prevent the shelves 1 from loosening or falling off during use, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the shelf. The scheme realizes the stable connection between the shelves 1 and the connecting pieces by arranging insertion slots on the connecting pieces and inserting the plate bodies into the insertion slots, thereby effectively solving the problem of unstable connection between the shelves 1 and the connecting pieces.

[0056] Specifically, the first slot 112a of the first connecting piece 112 can be made by molding or machining, and the size and shape of the slot should match the edge of the first plate body 111 to ensure a tight fit after insertion. The slot structure of the second connecting piece 122 and the third connecting piece 132 is similar to that of the first connecting piece 112, which matches the second plate body 121 and the third plate body 131 respectively. Further, to increase the firmness of the connection, a buckle structure or elastic clamp can be provided in the slot to enhance the friction and fixing effect between the plate body and the connecting piece. As a preferred embodiment, materials with good durability, such as metal or high-strength plastic, can be selected to make the connecting piece and the slot to improve the service life and reliability of the entire shelf assembly 100.

[0057] Thus, the present application achieves stable connection of the shelf plate 1 and the connecting piece by providing a slot in the connecting piece and inserting the plate body into the slot. Compared with the prior art, the present application can effectively prevent the shelf plate 1 from loosening or falling off during use, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the shelf and solving the problem of loose connection between the shelf plate 12 and the connecting piece in the prior art.

[0058] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the first connecting piece 112 has a first avoiding slot 112b corresponding to the shaft sleeve 2, and the first rotating shaft 113 is arranged at the bottom of the first avoiding slot 112b; the second connecting piece 122 has a second avoiding slot 122b and a third avoiding slot 122c corresponding to the shaft sleeve 2, the second rotating shaft 123 is arranged at the bottom of the second avoiding slot 122b, and the third rotating shaft 124 is arranged at the bottom of the third avoiding slot 122c; the third connecting piece 132 has a fourth avoiding slot 132b corresponding to the shaft sleeve 2, and the fourth rotating shaft 133 is arranged at the bottom of the fourth avoiding slot 132b.

[0059] It should be noted that in order to enable the shelf assembly 100 to smoothly convert from the unfolded state to the folded state, or from the folded state to the unfolded state, the first connecting piece 112, the second connecting piece 122 and the third connecting piece 132 are provided with avoiding slots to accommodate the corresponding rotating shafts, which ensure that the rotating shafts can rotate smoothly in the slots. By providing avoiding slots in the connecting pieces and arranging the rotating shafts at the bottom of the slots, the problem of obstruction of the rotating shafts during rotation is solved, thereby achieving smooth unfolding and folding of the shelf assembly 100.

[0060] Further, the first avoiding slot 112b of the first connecting piece 112 can adopt a rectangular slot, a U-shaped slot or other suitable shapes to ensure that the first rotating shaft 113 can be smoothly embedded and rotated therein. The second avoiding slot 122b and the third avoiding slot 122c of the second connecting piece 122 can also adopt similar shape designs to ensure the smooth rotation of the second rotating shaft 123 and the third rotating shaft 124. The fourth avoiding slot 132b of the third connecting piece 132 can be designed into different shapes according to actual needs to adapt to the rotation needs of the fourth rotating shaft 133.

[0061] Therefore, by setting the avoiding slots on the connecting pieces and setting the rotating shafts at the bottom of the slots, the shelf assembly 100 of the present application can avoid the rotating shafts being hindered during the unfolding and folding processes, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the shelf assembly 100. Compared with the prior art, the present application provides a simpler and more effective solution, which can significantly improve the use convenience and reliability of the shelf assembly 100.

[0062] In an embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 4 The middle part of the first rotating shaft 113, the second rotating shaft 123, the third rotating shaft 124 and the fourth rotating shaft 133 is provided with a deformation slot.

[0063] The middle part of the first rotating shaft 113, the second rotating shaft 123, the third rotating shaft 124 and the fourth rotating shaft 133 is provided with a deformation slot. These deformation slots can cause the rotating shafts to deform during the process of being sleeved into the shaft sleeve 2, and after the rotating shaft sleeve 2 is sleeved into the shaft sleeve 2, the first rotating shaft 113, the second rotating shaft 123, the third rotating shaft 124 and the fourth rotating shaft 133 are respectively clamped in the shaft sleeve 2, thereby ensuring that the shaft sleeve 2 and the above rotating shafts can be fixedly connected.

[0064] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The number of the shelves 1 is N, and the N satisfies 3≤N≤6.

[0065] The present application ensures that the shelf assembly 100 has sufficient flexibility and adaptability by regulating the number range of the shelves 1, so as to play a role in the adjustment of the internal space of the refrigerator. The number of the shelves 1 is between 3 and 6, which can realize the stability and practicability of the shelf assembly 100 in the unfolded and folded states. Through such a design, the user can conveniently adjust the shelf assembly 100 according to needs, thereby solving the problem of adjusting the internal space of the refrigerator.

[0066] Therefore, by limiting the number of shelves 1 to between 3 and 6, the present application provides a flexible and practical shelf assembly 100 design. Compared with the prior art, the shelf assembly 100 of the present application can more conveniently adjust the internal space of the refrigerator, meet the diversified storage needs of users, and improve the use efficiency and user experience of the refrigerator.
