[0026] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] See attached document Figures 1-6 The rotatable refrigerator shelf of this embodiment includes a base 1, a support column 2, a connector 5 and a first storage tray 6. A second storage tray 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The first storage tray 6 can rotate around the support column 2. The rotation function provides users with a more convenient way to put and take items. The second storage tray 7 is in a fixed state.
[0029] See attached document Figure 3 and Figure 4 The support column 2 is vertically connected to the center of the chassis 1, providing central support for the entire shelf. Multiple limiting blocks 3 are fixedly installed on the support column 2 at equal intervals. The limiting blocks 3 provide fulcrum and limiting function for the rotation of the connecting sleeve 501. Multiple mounting holes are opened at equal angles on the top and bottom of the limiting blocks 3. The maximum depth of the mounting holes is greater than its radius and less than its diameter. Rolling balls 4 are rolled in the mounting holes. The rolling connection of the rolling balls 4 reduces friction and improves the smoothness of rotation. The structural design of the mounting holes allows the rolling balls 4 to roll in the mounting holes without falling out of them.
[0030] See attached document Figure 5 and Figure 6The number of connecting parts 5 is equal to the number of limiting blocks 3. Each connecting part 5 includes a connecting sleeve 501, the inner diameter of which is equal to the outer diameter of the limiting block 3. The connecting sleeve 501 is fitted onto the limiting block 3. The top and bottom surfaces of the connecting sleeve 501 contact the balls 4 at the top and bottom of the limiting block 3, respectively, allowing the connecting sleeve 501 to rotate around the limiting block 3. The outer wall of the connecting sleeve 501 has multiple circumferentially evenly distributed insertion holes 502. A number of circumferentially evenly distributed receiving rods 503, equal in number to the insertion holes 502, are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 501. Insertion holes 502 and receiving rods are located on the same side. 503 is located in the same vertical plane. A spring 504 is fixedly installed in the receiving rod 503. A limiting rod 505 is slidably installed on the receiving rod 503 and is fixedly connected to the spring 504. The limiting rod 505 has an L-shaped structure. The cooperation between the spring 504 and the limiting rod 505 realizes the quick clamping and fixing of the shelf 601, improving the assembly efficiency. The number of first shelf trays 6 is the same as the number of connecting parts 5. The first shelf tray 6 includes shelf 601 with the same number as the number of insertion holes 502. The shelf 601 has a fan-shaped structure. An insertion block 602 that matches the insertion hole 502 is fixedly installed at the inner end of the shelf 601.
[0031] In this embodiment, there are two of each limiting block 3 and connecting piece 5. Each limiting sleeve has six insertion holes 502 and six fixedly installed receiving rods 503. During assembly, the limiting rod 505 is pulled outward first. At this time, the spring 504 connected to the limiting rod 505 is in a stretched state. Then, the shelf 601 is placed on the receiving rod 503, and the insertion block 602 at the inner end of the shelf 601 is inserted into the insertion hole 502 on the connecting sleeve 501. Then, the limiting rod 505 is released. At this time, under the elastic action of the spring 504, the limiting rod 505 moves towards the support column 2 to clamp the shelf 601. The remaining shelf 601 is installed in sequence to realize the connection between the first shelf tray 6 and the support column 2. The first shelf tray 6 can rotate around the support column 2. By using the interlocking block 602 and the interlocking hole 502, as well as the clamping action of the limiting rod 505 and the spring 504, the shelf 601 can be quickly installed and fixed. This design not only makes it convenient for users to assemble it themselves, but also improves the stability of the shelf 601 and prevents it from loosening during use.
[0032] See attached document Figure 2 Both sides of the receiving rod 503 are fixedly installed with receiving plates 8, and the top surface of the receiving plate 8 and the top surface of the receiving rod 503 are on the same plane. The receiving plates 8 and the receiving rod 503 work together to support the shelf 601 and ensure the stability of the shelf 601.
[0033] In this invention, the first storage tray 6 can rotate around the support column 2, allowing users to easily access items without frequently moving other items inside the refrigerator, greatly improving usability. The second storage tray 7 is fixed, providing a stable placement area suitable for heavier or less frequently moved items. The combination of the two caters to different user habits. Through the cooperation of the plug block 602 and the plug hole 502, as well as the clamping action of the limiting rod 505 and the spring 504, users can quickly install and fix the storage plate 601. This design not only facilitates user self-assembly but also reduces assembly time and difficulty. The support plates 8 on both sides of the support rod 503 work together with the support rod 503 to provide more reliable support for the storage plate 601, preventing it from tilting or deforming when items are placed on it, further enhancing the stability of the storage rack.
[0034] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
