Detailed Implementation

[0029] To illustrate the possible application scenarios, technical principles, implementable specific solutions, and achievable objectives and effects of this application in detail, the following description, in conjunction with the listed specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation. The embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This application provides a support bracket and a refrigerator to solve the problem that the support bracket is difficult to support items of different sizes. The following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a support bracket, including a first bracket 1, a second bracket 2 and a connecting arm 3, wherein both the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are rotatably connected to the connecting arm 3;

[0034] When the second support 2 moves to one side of the first support 1 in the first direction, the first support 1 and the second support 2 enclose each other to form a first receiving groove 4; when the second support 2 moves to one side of the first support 1 in the second direction, the first support 1 and the second support 2 enclose each other to form a second receiving groove 5, and the area of ​​the bottom of the first receiving groove 4 is different from the area of ​​the bottom of the second receiving groove 5.

[0035] By connecting the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 through the connecting arm 3, the second bracket 2 can be moved to one side of the first bracket 1 in the first direction or one side in the second direction. The bottom area of ​​the receiving groove formed by the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 changes with the position of the second bracket 2, allowing the user to adjust the position of the second bracket 2 relative to the first bracket 1 according to actual needs to meet the support requirements of different items, thus solving the problem that the support bracket is difficult to support items of different sizes.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first direction is the height direction of the first bracket 1, and the second direction is the width direction of the first bracket 1.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, the first bracket 1 includes a supporting portion 11 and two first enclosing portions 12. The two first enclosing portions 12 are respectively disposed at both ends of the supporting portion 11 along its length, and both first enclosing portions 12 are perpendicular to the supporting portion 11. A mounting groove 123 is provided on the side of the first enclosing portion 12 away from the supporting portion 11, and the mounting groove 123 facilitates the installation of the supporting bracket on the refrigerator. The second bracket 2 includes a blocking portion 21 and two second enclosing portions 22. The two second enclosing portions 22 are respectively disposed at both ends of the blocking portion 21 along its length, and the first enclosing portion 12 and the second enclosing portion 22 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first enclosure 12 is provided with a plurality of limiting blocks 124 on one side in the first direction. In this embodiment, the number of limiting blocks 124 is set to two. The two limiting blocks 124 enclose each other to form a limiting groove 125 for restricting the movement of the second enclosure 22. When the second bracket 2 moves to one side of the first bracket 1 in the first direction, the second enclosure 22 extends into the limiting groove 125.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, two connecting arms 3 are used to connect two sets of enclosures. One end of the connecting arm 3 is rotatably connected to the corresponding first enclosure 12, and the other end of the connecting arm 3 is rotatably connected to the corresponding second enclosure 22. Specifically, one end of the connecting arm 3 is integrally formed with a first pin 31, and the other end of the connecting arm 3 is integrally formed with a second pin 32. The first enclosure 12 has a rotating groove 121, and the second enclosure 22 has a sliding groove 221. The first pin 31 extends into the rotating groove 121 and rotatably engages with the rotating groove 121, and the second pin 32 extends into the sliding groove 221 and rotatably and slidingly engages with the sliding groove 221. By connecting the first enclosure 12 and the second enclosure 22 with the connecting arms 3, the second bracket 2 can be moved to one side of the first bracket 1 in the first direction or one side in the second direction.

[0040] Please see Figure 3 In addition, the support bracket also includes a connector 6, which is located on the side of the first enclosure 12 away from the connecting arm 3. The connector 6 passes through the first bracket 1 and is rotatably engaged with the first enclosure 12. One end of the connector 6 that passes through the first enclosure 12 is fixedly connected to the first pin 31 so that the connecting arm 3 can be stably connected to the first bracket 1.

[0041] Please see Figure 3The support bracket also includes a support plate 7, which is slidably connected to the first bracket 1. Specifically, the support plate 7 is located on one side of the bearing part 11 in the first direction. The two ends of the support plate 7 in the length direction are integrally formed with sliding blocks 71. The two first enclosure parts 12 are provided with sliding grooves 122 that slide and cooperate with the sliding blocks 71, so that the support plate 7 can slide relative to the bearing part 11 in the second direction.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, a limiting strip 72 is integrally formed at one end of the support plate 7 near the second direction, and the limiting strip 72 is arranged along the length direction of the support plate 7. A limiting strip 74 is integrally formed on the side of the support plate 7 away from the limiting strip 72. The bearing part 11 has a first clearance groove 111 on one side of the second direction, and the support plate 7 has a second clearance groove 73 on the side away from the second direction.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the second bracket 2 moves to one side of the first bracket 1 in the first direction, the support plate 7 is located on the support part 11, and the limiting strip 74 abuts against the support part 11. When the second bracket 2 moves to one side of the first bracket 1 in the second direction, one end of the support plate 7 extends out of the first bracket 1, one end of the support part 11 in the second direction is placed into the second clearance groove 73, and the end of the support plate 7 away from the second direction is placed into the first clearance groove 111. The bottom of the first clearance groove 111 abuts against the bottom of the second clearance groove 73, so that one side of the support part 11 in the first direction is flush with one side of the support plate 7 in the first direction. The one side of the support part 11 in the first direction and one side of the support plate 7 in the first direction together form the bottom of the second receiving groove 5. The second bracket 2 is supported on the support plate 7, and the second bracket 2 abuts against the limiting strip 72.

[0044] This application also provides a refrigerator, which includes the support bracket described above. Since the refrigerator has the aforementioned support bracket, it possesses at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the aforementioned support bracket, which will not be elaborated upon here.
