[0004] Specifically, the support bar has slots on both sides, and the support bar on the rear side of the fixing part has through holes.
[0005] Specifically, the first end cap is an integrally formed snap-fit structure, including a first front plate, a first end plate and a first side snap-fit block. An inner snap-fit is provided in the first end plate, and the inner snap-fit is snapped into the fixing part at the end of the support bar. The first side snap-fit block is snapped into the slot.
[0006] Specifically, the second end cap is an integrally formed snap-fit structure, including a second front plate, a second end plate, and a second side snap-fit block. An outer snap-fit is provided inside the second front plate, which snaps into the outer edge of the end of the support bar, and the second side snap-fit block snaps into the slot.
[0007] Specifically, the top of the fixing part is provided with an opening.
[0008] Specifically, openings are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the fixing part.
[0009] The second objective of this utility model is to provide a refrigeration device, including a door and a box, wherein the inner wall of the box is vertically provided with a plurality of the aforementioned shelf support strips.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. The specific implementation of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0025] 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, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0026] like Figures 1-9 As shown, this utility model provides a shelf support strip, including a support strip 1, a first end cap 2, and a second end cap 3. The first end cap 2 and the second end cap 3 are snapped onto both ends of the support strip 1 to protect the sharp ends of the support strip 1 from being scratched by the ends during use.
[0027] The support bar 1 is made of dipped metal. On one side of the support bar 1, multiple protruding fixing parts are arranged radially. A through hole 14 is provided in the support bar 1 behind the fixing part, and the shelf is installed in the fixing part. The other side of the support bar 1 is attached to the inner wall of the refrigerator, display cabinet, or other refrigeration equipment. Multiple mounting holes 15 are provided in the support bar 1, and the support bar 1 is fixedly installed into the cabinet using bolts. The support bar 1 is made of I-beam steel, and slots 13 are provided on both sides of the support bar 1.
[0028] Both the first end cap 2 and the second end cap 3 are integrally formed snap-fit structures, which are respectively snapped into the fixing parts at both ends of the support bar 1. The first end cap 2 includes a first front plate 22, a first end plate 23, and a first side snap-fit block 24. An inner snap-fit 21 is provided in the first end plate 23. The first side snap-fit block 24 is snapped into the slots 13 on both sides of the support bar 1. The inner snap-fit 21 is inserted into the fixing part and snapped into the through hole 14, so that the first end cap 2 is snapped into the outer surface of the upper end of the support bar 1. The second end cap 3 includes a second front plate 32, a second end plate 33, and a second side snap-fit block 34. An outer snap-fit 31 is provided in the second front plate 32. The second side snap-fit block 34 is snapped into the slots 13 on both sides of the support bar 1. The outer snap-fit 31 is snapped into the outer edge of the fixing part. Guide slopes are provided in the first side snap-fit block 24 and the second side snap-fit block 34 to facilitate the snap-fit of the first end cap 2 and the second end cap 3 to both ends of the support bar 1.
[0029] Because different shelves have different fixing methods, the required support bar structures are different, such as... Figure 1, 2 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in the first embodiment of the support strip 1 of this application, the support strip 1 is provided with a plurality of protruding first fixing parts 11. The top of the first fixing part 11 is provided with an opening, and the support strip 1 on the rear side of the first fixing part 11 is provided with a through hole 14. The inner buckle 21 of the first end cap 2 is inserted from the upper end of the support strip 1 into the first fixing part 11 located at the top of the support strip 1 and is engaged in the through hole 14. The first side buckles 24 on both sides of the first end cap 2 are engaged in the slots 13. The outer buckle 31 of the second end cap 3 is engaged from the lower end of the support strip 1 into the outer edge of the first fixing part 11 located at the bottom end of the support strip 1. The second side buckles 34 on both sides of the second end cap 3 are engaged in the slots 13.
[0030] As a second embodiment supporting clause 1 of this application, such as Figures 7-9 As shown, the support bar 1 is provided with multiple protruding second fixing parts 12. The upper and lower sides of the second fixing parts 12 are provided with openings, and the support bar 1 behind the second fixing parts 12 is provided with through holes 14. The inner buckle 21 of the first end cap 2 is inserted from the upper end of the support bar 1 into the second fixing part 12 located at the top of the support bar 1 and is engaged in the through hole 14. The first side buckles 24 on both sides of the first end cap 2 are engaged in the slots 13. The outer buckle 31 of the second end cap 3 is engaged from the lower end of the support bar 1 into the outer edge of the second fixing part 12 located at the bottom end of the support bar 1. The second side buckles 34 on both sides of the second end cap 3 are engaged in the slots 13.
[0031] The two different support bar 1 structures can be snapped onto both ends of the end cap using the same set of end cap structure, which is highly applicable. The end cap snaps onto both ends of the support bar 1, surrounding the sharp ends of the support bar 1, effectively solving the problem that the exposed sharp ends of the support bar 1 may scratch the user during use, while not affecting the normal assembly of the support bar 1.
[0032] This utility model also provides a refrigeration device, which can be a refrigerator, display cabinet, etc., including a cabinet body and a door body. A storage cavity is provided in the cabinet body, and multiple support bars 1 are vertically arranged on the inner wall of the cabinet body. The support bars 1 are fixedly connected to the cabinet body by bolts.
[0033] In use, the first end cap 2 is installed on the upper end of the support bar 1, the first side locking block 24 of the first end cap 2 is engaged in the locking groove 13, and the inner buckle 21 is inserted into the first fixing part 11 located at the top of the support bar 1 and engaged in the through hole 14; the second end cap 3 is installed on the lower end of the support bar 1, the second side locking block 34 of the second end cap 3 is engaged in the locking groove 13, and the outer buckle 31 is engaged in the second fixing part 12 located at the bottom of the support bar 1, thus completing the installation of the end cap; the support bar 1 is fixedly installed to the inner wall of the box by bolts.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from its technical solution shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
