Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an accessory suitable for refrigerators, and in particular to the design of a refrigerator shelf storage box. Background Technology

[0002] A refrigerator is a household appliance used for refrigerating or freezing food, and almost every household has one. Currently, refrigerators typically have several shelves inside to categorize and store different foods. Food can be placed on different shelves. However, when placing food between adjacent shelves, food is often stacked on top of each other, and this space is often not fully utilized and remains empty. Stacking food together can also lead to poor ventilation and cross-contamination of odors between different foods.

[0003] To overcome the aforementioned problems, refrigerator storage boxes have emerged on the market. These include brackets fixed to the refrigerator shelves and boxes fixed to the brackets that can extend and retract along them. Storing food in these boxes not only prevents odor mixing but also effectively utilizes the space between two shelves. However, springs, screws, and other accessories are required to secure the box to the brackets, resulting in a complex structure that is inconvenient to manufacture and install. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model aims to provide a refrigerator shelf storage box with a simple and novel structure, convenient production and installation, which can make full use of the cavity area under the refrigerator shelf for convenient food classification and storage.

[0005] The present invention provides a refrigerator shelf storage box, comprising a box body and a lid. The lid has a first sliding groove on its left and right bottom surfaces along the front-to-back direction, the first sliding groove penetrating the front side of the lid but not the rear side. The box body extends outwards from its left and right sides with guide plates, which are inserted into the first sliding groove of the lid from front to back via the guide plates. The lid has two parallel second sliding grooves symmetrically arranged on its top surface along the front-to-back direction, with snap-fit ​​plates slidably connected within the two second sliding grooves. The top surface of the snap-fit ​​plates extends outwards with elastic snap-fit ​​plates that engage with the refrigerator shelf.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom front surface of the middle area of ​​the snap-fit ​​plate is provided with a series of transverse snap-fit ​​ribs at equal intervals along the front-back direction, and the top front surface of the middle part of the box cover is provided with two strip holes on the left and right sides symmetrically along the front-back direction. A transverse snap-fit ​​strip is provided on the top surface of the box cover between the two strip holes. After the snap-fit ​​plate is inserted into the second sliding groove, the snap-fit ​​strip is snapped between the front and rear transverse snap-fit ​​ribs for limiting. When the snap-fit ​​plate moves back and forth, it is fixed between different transverse snap-fit ​​ribs by the snap-fit ​​strip to achieve front-back adjustment and positioning.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom surface of the lid is provided with an anti-detachment structure.

[0008] Preferably, there are two snap-fit ​​plates, one inserted from the front side of the lid and the other inserted from the rear side of the lid. The top surface of the rear end of the middle of the lid has two symmetrical strip holes along the front-back direction. A transverse snap-fit ​​strip protrudes from the top surface of the lid between the two strip holes. After the snap-fit ​​plate is inserted into the second sliding groove, the snap-fit ​​strip engages and limits the position between the front and rear transverse snap-fit ​​ribs. The front and rear snap-fit ​​plates are respectively engaged and limited between different transverse snap-fit ​​ribs by their respective snap-fit ​​strips to achieve front-back adjustment and positioning.

[0009] Preferably, a handle is provided on the front side of the box.

[0010] Preferably, the number of elastic clips on the top surface of the clip plate is two, and the two elastic clips are arranged symmetrically about the center of the top surface of the clip plate.

[0011] This invention can make full use of the cavity area under the refrigerator shelf, making it convenient to classify and store food. The entire box can be fixed to the refrigerator shelf by a snap-fit ​​plate and can be adjusted back and forth. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a refrigerator shelf storage box, including a box body 1 and a box cover 2. The bottom surfaces of the left and right sides of the box cover 2 are provided with first sliding grooves 21 along the front-back direction. The first sliding grooves 21 penetrate the front side of the box cover 2 but do not penetrate the rear side of the box cover 2. The left and right sides of the box body 1 extend outwards with guide plates 11. The box body 1 is connected to the first sliding grooves 21 of the box cover 2 from front to back through the guide plates 11. The top surface of the box cover 2 is provided with two parallel second sliding grooves 22 along the front-back direction. The two second sliding grooves 22 are slidably connected with snap-fit ​​plates 3. The top surface of the snap-fit ​​plates 3 extends out to snap-fit ​​elastic snap-fit ​​plates 31 onto the refrigerator shelf.

[0024] In the above scheme, a series of transverse locking ribs 32 are provided at equal intervals along the front and back directions on the bottom surface of the middle area of ​​the locking plate 3. Two strip holes 23 are symmetrically opened on the top surface of the front end of the middle part of the box cover 2 along the front and back directions. A transverse locking strip 24 is provided on the top surface of the box cover 2 between the two strip holes 23. After the locking plate 3 is inserted into the second sliding groove 22, the locking strip 24 is locked between the front and back transverse locking ribs 32 for limiting. When the locking plate 3 moves back and forth, the locking strip 24 is locked between different transverse locking ribs 32 to achieve front and back adjustment and positioning. In addition, the present invention provides an anti-detachment structure (25) on the bottom surface of the box cover (2) to prevent the box body (1) from being pulled out of the sliding groove.

[0025] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, there are two snap-fit ​​plates 3, one of which is inserted from the front side of the cover 2 and the other is inserted from the rear side of the cover 2. The top surface of the rear end of the middle of the cover 2 has two strip holes 23 symmetrically opened in the front-back direction. The top surface of the cover 2 between the two strip holes 23 has a transverse snap-fit ​​strip 24 protruding. After the snap-fit ​​plate 3 is inserted into the second sliding groove 22, the snap-fit ​​strip 24 is snapped between the front and rear transverse snap-fit ​​ribs 32 for limiting. The front and rear snap-fit ​​plates 3 are respectively snapped between different transverse snap-fit ​​ribs 32 by their respective snap-fit ​​strips 24 to achieve front-back adjustment and positioning.

[0026] In addition, a handle 12 is provided on the front side of the box body 1.

[0027] Specifically, there are two elastic plates 31 on the top surface of the snap-fit ​​plate 3, and the two elastic plates 31 are arranged symmetrically about the center of the top surface of the snap-fit ​​plate 3.

[0028] This utility model consists of three parts: a box body 1, a box cover 2, and a snap-fit ​​plate 3. These parts are assembled into a single unit through the aforementioned connection structure and fixed to the bottom surface of the refrigerator shelf. The front-to-back adjustment of the box body 1 is achieved by snap-fit ​​strip 24 engaging between two transverse snap-fit ​​ribs 32 at the front and back.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, or alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical principles of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
