Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to a door assembly with an adjustable door shelf and a refrigerator, which belongs to the field of refrigerator technology. Background technology:

[0002] As living standards and quality of life improve, people are paying more attention to the flexibility and adaptability of refrigerators. Currently, in order to facilitate the placement of items of different heights in the door shelves, the installation height of the door shelves fixed on the door liner is usually designed to be moderately adjustable.

[0003] Existing adjustable door shelves either use a combination of multiple sliders and springs for adjustment, or they are adjusted by designing elastic supports on plastic parts. The former is more complex and costly to design, while the latter is less reliable.

[0004] Therefore, it is indeed necessary to improve existing technologies to address their shortcomings. Utility Model Content:

[0005] This invention provides a door assembly and refrigerator with an adjustable door shelf to solve the problems existing in the prior art, which can make the adjustable door shelf more adjustable and fixed.

[0006] This utility model adopts the following technical solution: a door assembly with an adjustable door shelf, including a refrigerator door and a detachable door shelf installed on the refrigerator door. An adjustable mechanism is installed symmetrically on both sides of the door shelf along its length. The adjustable mechanism includes a latch and a spring installed on the door shelf. A slide rail is formed on the refrigerator door to cooperate with the door shelf. A plurality of spaced-apart slots are formed on the slide rail to cooperate with the adjustable mechanism. When the door shelf slides along the slide rail of the refrigerator door to the desired position, the latch is pushed out by the spring and then locked in the slot on the slide rail.

[0007] Furthermore, guide grooves are recessed on both sides of the door shelf in the length direction opposite to the adjustable mechanism, and a stop portion is formed at one end of one side wall of the guide groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide groove has two spaced-apart notches and a through hole located between the two notches on the side wall perpendicular to the side wall where the stop portion is formed.

[0009] Furthermore, the card includes a connected main body and a handle. The main body is installed in a guide groove. The main body includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a third sidewall perpendicular to the first and second sidewalls. A boss is formed on the outer side surface of the first sidewall that abuts against and engages with the stop portion.

[0010] Furthermore, a cylinder is protruding on the inner surface of the third sidewall, and the spring is sleeved on the outer side of the cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the ends of the first and second sidewalls that are away from the third sidewall can extend from the corresponding notches.

[0012] Furthermore, the end of the cylinder away from the third sidewall can extend from the corresponding through hole.

[0013] The present invention also adopts the following technical solution: a refrigerator, including the aforementioned door assembly with adjustable door shelves.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) Simplicity and low cost: There is only one small plastic clip and one spring on each side of the door shelf, which realizes the adjustable function of the door shelf.

[0016] (2) The sliding track on the door has a slot, which can be made directly by vacuum forming without adding other parts, thus reducing the cost.

[0017] (3) By cooperating with the guide groove on the door shelf and the slot on the door slide, the door shelf can be guaranteed not to rotate. Attached image description:

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] This utility model relates to a door assembly with an adjustable door shelf, comprising a refrigerator door 1 and a detachable door shelf 2 mounted on the refrigerator door 1. Adjustable mechanisms 3 are mirror-symmetrically mounted on both sides of the door shelf 2 along its length. The adjustable mechanisms 3 include clips 30 and springs 31 mounted on the door shelf 2.

[0028] Guide grooves 20 are recessed on both sides of the door shelf 2 along the length direction opposite to the adjustable mechanism 3. A stop portion 200 is formed at one end of one side wall of the guide groove 20. Two spaced-apart notches 201 and a through hole 202 located between the two notches 201 are formed on the side wall of the guide groove 20 perpendicular to the side wall where the stop portion 200 is formed.

[0029] The clip 30 includes a connected main body 300 and a handle 301, with the main body 300 mounted in the guide groove 20. The main body 300 includes opposing first sidewalls 3000 and second sidewalls 3001, and a third sidewall 3002 perpendicular to the first sidewalls 3000 and second sidewalls 3001. A boss 3003 protrudes from the outer surface of the first sidewall 3000 to abut against the stop 200. A cylinder 3004 protrudes from the inner surface of the third sidewall 3002, and a spring 31 is sleeved on the outer side of the cylinder 3004. The ends of the first sidewalls 3000 and second sidewalls 3001 away from the third sidewall 3002 can protrude from corresponding notches 201, and the end of the cylinder 3004 away from the third sidewall 3002 can protrude from corresponding through holes 202.

[0030] The refrigerator door 1 has a slide rail 10 that cooperates with the door shelf 2. The slide rail 10 has a plurality of spaced slots 100 that can be installed and cooperated with the adjustable mechanism 3.

[0031] This utility model features a door assembly with an adjustable door shelf. When the height of the door shelf needs to be adjusted, gently pull the handle 301 on the locking piece 30 inwards until it is fully depressed. The door shelf slides along the slide rail 10 of the refrigerator door 1. When the door shelf reaches the desired position in the locking groove 100, release the handle 301 on the locking piece 30. The locking piece 30 is then pushed out by the spring 31 and locks into the locking groove 100 on the slide rail 10. At this point, the adjustment of the door shelf is complete. When the height of the door shelf needs to be adjusted, simply repeat the above steps.

[0032] After the door shelf is adjusted, it will not move in the up and down directions due to the assembly and fixing relationship between the slot 100 and the clip 30. The door shelf is fitted onto the slide rail 10 of the refrigerator door body 1, which also ensures that it will not move in the front, back, left and right directions.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
