[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Please refer to them. Figures 1 to 8 The image shows one embodiment of this utility model.

[0025] It should be understood that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, in this application, the terms “up,” “down,” “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the user’s facing side of the door of the household appliance being in front, and are used only for ease of description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed or operated in a specific orientation.

[0026] Furthermore, 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 indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, and at least two.

[0027] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set", "connect", "connect", "fixed" and other such terms should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a typical cantilever shelf 1 includes a shelf 11 and cantilever arms 12 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the shelf 11. The shelf 1 is installed onto the inner liner of the storage device through the connecting part at the rear end of the cantilever arm 12. However, it is time-consuming and laborious for the user to support the entire shelf 1 for installation. This utility model provides a cantilever shelf installation fixture 100 to assist the user in installing the shelf 1 onto the inner liner of the storage device.

[0029] The cantilever shelf installation fixture 100 includes a base 2 and a limiting component 3.

[0030] The limiting component 3 is vertically adjustable on the base 2 to adjust its position in the height direction of the base 2. The height of the limiting component 3 is adjustable, which allows the fixture 100 to meet the needs of installing the shelf 1 to different heights of the inner liner, thus improving the versatility and practicality of the fixture 100.

[0031] The limiting component 3 includes a first connecting part 31 that is fixed to the base 2 and a second connecting part 32 located on the outside of the base 2. The limiting component 3 is fixed to the base 2 through the first connecting part 31 to maintain stability and ensure that the tooling 100 will not shake or tilt during use, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of installing the shelf 1.

[0032] The second connecting part 32 is used to support and guide the shelf 1 to slide horizontally to the installation position on the inner liner. This allows the user to easily place the shelf 1 on the limiting component 3 and smoothly and accurately install the shelf 1 onto the inner liner of the storage device by sliding horizontally, reducing the user's physical exertion during installation and improving installation efficiency.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 The base 2 is provided with a positioning part 21 that cooperates with the first connecting part 31. The positioning part 21 includes a limiting groove 211 extending in the vertical direction. The first connecting part 31 is limited in the limiting groove 211 and can move in the vertical direction to adjust its position on the base 2.

[0034] The limiting groove 211 restricts the movement range of the first connecting part 31, preventing it from deviating from the predetermined track during adjustment. The height can only be adjusted vertically, ensuring the stability and controllability of the lifting process of the limiting component 3. Furthermore, the tight fit between the limiting groove 211 and the first connecting part 31 also prevents the limiting component 3 from swaying or tilting in the left-right or front-back directions during use, further improving the stability and reliability of the tooling 100.

[0035] The positioning part 21 also includes a plurality of positioning protrusions 212 spaced apart in the limiting groove 211. The first connecting part 31 is provided with a plurality of positioning through holes 311. The plurality of positioning through holes 311 can engage with one or more of the plurality of positioning protrusions 212 to limit the movement of the first connecting part 31 relative to the limiting groove 211 in the vertical direction.

[0036] When the positioning through hole 311 on the first connecting part 31 engages with the positioning protrusion 212, the positioning protrusion 212 can provide stable support and prevent the first connecting part 31 from accidentally sliding or loosening in the vertical direction.

[0037] The positioning through hole 311 matches the shape of the positioning protrusion 212. The user only needs to align the positioning through hole 311 with the desired positioning protrusion 212 and fit it onto the positioning protrusion 212 to easily fix the position of the first connecting part 31 on the base 2.

[0038] When the first connecting part 31 is connected to the base 2, the user can select to fit different numbers of positioning through holes 311 onto the positioning protrusions 212 according to actual needs, so as to adjust the height of the first connecting part 31 on the base 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, four positioning protrusions 212 are provided, and four positioning through holes 311 are provided on the first connecting part 31. If it is necessary to install the shelf 1 at a lower position, the user can fit all four positioning through holes 311 onto the positioning protrusions 212 to achieve a lower installation height.

[0040] If a higher installation height is required, the user can attach the two lower positioning through holes 311 to the two upper positioning protrusions 212. This provides multiple flexible installation options, allowing the user to easily adjust the installation height of the shelf 1 according to actual needs by attaching different numbers of positioning through holes 311 to the positioning protrusions 212.

[0041] Of course, the number of positioning protrusions 212 and positioning through holes 311 can be set according to actual needs, and this solution does not impose any restrictions.

[0042] In other embodiments, the cooperation between the positioning part 21 and the first connecting part 31 is not limited to this; it can also be configured as a combination of a sliding rail and a slider. In this configuration, the positioning part 21 is provided with a sliding rail, while the bottom of the first connecting part 31 is equipped with a slider adapted to the sliding rail. The slider can slide vertically along the sliding rail, thereby allowing the first connecting part 31 to be adjusted in the height direction. The user can slide the first connecting part 31 to the desired position according to actual needs and fix it using a locking mechanism to achieve more flexible and precise installation and adjustment.

[0043] The base 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning parts 21 spaced apart along the depth direction, and the limiting component 3 is provided with a plurality of first connecting parts 31 corresponding to each of the plurality of positioning parts 21.

[0044] In this embodiment, two positioning parts 21 are provided, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the base 2, so that the connection between the first connecting part 31 and the base 2 is more secure, effectively preventing the tooling 100 from deforming or being damaged due to uneven force.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second connecting part 32 is configured as a guide groove 321 extending along the depth direction, which is used to cooperate with the shelf 1 to slide into it. The guide groove 321 facilitates the quick installation and removal of the shelf 1. The user only needs to align the cantilever 12 of the shelf 1 with the guide groove 321 and slide it into it, making the installation process simple. The shelf 1 can easily and smoothly slide along the guide groove 321 to the predetermined position without shifting or falling, further ensuring the reliability of the installation.

[0046] The length of the guide groove 321 is set to be slightly less than the length of the shelf 1 along the depth direction, so as to ensure that the shelf 1 can slide smoothly to the installation position on the inner liner, while increasing the stability of the shelf 1.

[0047] The guide groove 321 is open upwards, and its opening width is adapted to the thickness of the cantilever 12 of the shelf 1. This ensures that the shelf 1 can be smoothly and stably inserted into the guide groove 321, and effectively supports the cantilever 12 of the shelf 1 during sliding.

[0048] Specifically, the guide groove 321 is a U-shaped structure with an upward opening, and has a first wall 3211 extending vertically, a second wall 3212 parallel to the first wall 3211 and located inside the first wall 3211, and a third wall 3213 connecting the bottom of the first wall 3211 and the second wall 3212. The height of the first wall 3211 extending upward is greater than that of the second wall 3212.

[0049] like Figure 8 As shown, the second wall 3212 supports the inner side of the cantilever 12 of the shelf 1 after the shelf 1 slides to the predetermined position, ensuring that the shelf 1 remains stable when it is fixedly connected to the inner liner. The higher first wall 3211 can effectively prevent the shelf 1 from shaking or shifting and dislodging from the guide groove 321 during the sliding process or during fixed installation.

[0050] The base 2 also has a protruding support portion at its front end for engaging with and limiting the inner liner of the storage device, ensuring that the support portion fits the inner liner when the shelf 1 slides and is fixed on the inner liner, preventing the installation fixture 100 from moving in the front-back direction.

[0051] In addition, the base 2 is also provided with a fixing member 4, which is used to fix the position of the cantilever shelf mounting fixture 100 in the inner liner of the storage equipment.

[0052] Specifically, the fastener 4 can be a bolt, a clip, or other type of connector to ensure that the tooling 100 can be securely fixed in the predetermined position of the inner liner.

[0053] In this embodiment, the fixing component 4 is a suction cup 41, and multiple suction cups 41 are provided and evenly distributed on the bottom of the base 2. In use, the suction cups 41 at the bottom of the base 2 can be adsorbed and fixed to the shelf 11 of the ordinary shelf 1 below. The installation process is quick and efficient, and the suction cups 41 can provide sufficient locking force to prevent the fixture 100 from accidentally loosening or falling off during use, so as to maintain the stability of the fixture 100.

[0054] As one embodiment of this utility model, when the cantilever shelf installation fixture 100 of this embodiment is used, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, firstly, a fixture 100 can be fixed on each of the left and right sides of the inner liner. The limiting component 3 is sleeved onto the positioning protrusion 212 of the fixture 100 base 2 through the positioning through hole 311. The suction cup 41 component at the bottom of the base 2 is fixed onto the shelf 11 of the ordinary shelf 1 below. At the same time, it is ensured that the front end of the base 2 and the inner liner are reliably limited.

[0055] Lift the front end of the cantilever 12-type shelf 1, aligning its rear cantilever 12 with the guide groove 321 of the limiting component 3. Simply lift the front end of the cantilever 12-type shelf 1 and push the shelf 1 backward along the guide groove 321 until the rear cantilever 12 of the shelf 1 passes the guide groove 321 and is suspended in the air. At this point, the shelf 11 of the cantilever shelf 1 is supported on the limiting component 3, requiring no manual effort to lift. The shelf 1 is in a horizontal position on the fixture 100. Continue pushing the shelf 1 forward until it is as described above. Figure 8 Follow the preset installation position shown and complete the installation. After fixing the shelf 1 to the inner liner, the fixture 100 can be removed.

[0056] When the height of the limiting component 3 needs to be adjusted, the installation of the cantilever shelf 1 at different heights can be achieved simply by adjusting the assembly of the limiting component 3 with the positioning protrusion 212 of the base 2.

[0057] In summary, by utilizing the shelf provided by this utility model, which is mounted on a base with a height-adjustable limiting component, users can easily adjust the height of the shelf on the installation fixture, ensuring that the shelf can slide accurately to the predetermined position on the inner liner of the storage device. This simplifies the installation process, improves installation efficiency, and effectively avoids errors or collision damage that may occur in traditional installation methods, providing users with a better experience when installing or adjusting the shelf.
