Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum alloy decorative strip technology, and in particular to a refrigerator aluminum alloy decorative strip with high safety performance. Background Technology

[0002] Most refrigerator shelves are made of glass and are used to support items in the freshness compartment. Decorative strips are used to snap the edges of the shelves together to protect the front of the shelves, forming a raised dam structure that prevents items from slipping off. At the same time, they also have decorative and anti-slip properties, improving grip.

[0003] However, because it is fitted onto the side of the refrigerator shelf, its stability is insufficient and it is prone to detachment. This causes the glass shelf to easily fall off and shatter when gripped, potentially causing items inside to fall. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a high-safety aluminum alloy decorative strip for refrigerators to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical Solution

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a high-safety-performance aluminum alloy decorative strip for refrigerators, comprising a refrigerator partition, an aluminum alloy sleeve, an aluminum alloy edge, an elastic sheet, and a mounting shaft. The refrigerator partition is fitted with an aluminum alloy sleeve on its outer side, and an aluminum alloy edge is provided on the front side of the sleeve. An assembly groove is formed on the inner side of both the sleeve and the edge. Slots are formed on the upper and lower inner walls of the assembly groove. One end of the elastic sheet has a locking block that engages with the slot. An elastic sheet is embedded and engaged within the assembly groove. The distance between the opening of the elastic sheet and the inner wall of the assembly groove gradually increases. At the opening of the assembly groove, the main cross-section between the elastic sheet and the inner wall of the groove forms a triangular movable cavity. One end of the aluminum alloy sleeve has a connecting block, and one end of the connecting block has a rotating shaft that is rotatably installed inside the aluminum alloy edge.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer side of the rotating shaft is fitted with symmetrically distributed torsion springs, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the connecting block and the inner wall of the aluminum alloy retaining edge;

[0008] Specifically, the elastic force of the torsion spring is connected to the connecting block and the inner wall of the cavity at both ends, and the elastic force is applied to the rotating shaft, so that the aluminum alloy clip edge is automatically in the open state during use, and the front opening of the aluminum alloy clip is open.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the aluminum alloy sleeve and the aluminum alloy clip edge joint is provided with an arc corner, and the inner wall of the assembly groove is provided with a sealing gasket that fits against the inner wall of the elastic sheet.

[0010] Specifically, the rounded corners prevent sharp edges from being easily bumped and scratched. By setting the rounded corners, sharp edges are avoided at the joint between the aluminum alloy sleeve and the aluminum alloy clip. The rounded corners provide effective rotation space at the joint between the aluminum alloy sleeve and the aluminum alloy clip. The sealing gasket fits flexibly with the refrigerator, improving the tightness and anti-slip properties of the clamping surface.

[0011] Furthermore, both the aluminum alloy sleeve and the aluminum alloy ferrule are provided with hollow chambers. One end of the aluminum alloy sleeve is provided with a fixing tooth located on the upper inner wall of the chamber, and the aluminum alloy ferrule is rotatably mounted with an installation shaft located inside the chamber.

[0012] Specifically, the mounting shaft rotates with the rotating block, causing the clamping teeth to engage with the fixing teeth, thereby achieving the bonding and fixing of the aluminum alloy sleeve and the aluminum alloy clamping edge.

[0013] Furthermore, a rotating block is provided on the outer wall of the mounting shaft, and a locking tooth is provided on one side of the upper end of the rotating block to engage with the fixed tooth. A torsion spring is sleeved on the outer side of the mounting shaft, with its two ends respectively connected to the rotating block and the inner wall of the cavity.

[0014] Specifically, the elastic force of the second torsion spring acts on the rotating block, causing the locking teeth to elastically engage with the fixed teeth on one side.

[0015] Furthermore, a guide wheel is provided at one end of the mounting shaft, and a pull rope is provided at one end of the guide wheel and sleeved on the outside of the guide wheel. A stroke groove penetrating the cavity is opened inside the upper end of the aluminum alloy clip, and one end of the pull rope passes through the stroke groove. A pull handle is provided at the upper end of the pull rope.

[0016] Specifically, gripping the handle facilitates pulling the rope through the stroke groove. The rope, under force, drives the guide wheel to rotate around the mounting shaft. The rope is also constrained by the guide wheel to prevent it from shifting during the pulling process. The rotation of the mounting shaft drives the rotating block to rotate around the mounting shaft, causing the locking teeth to disengage from the fixed teeth, thereby achieving the disengagement of the aluminum alloy sleeve and the aluminum alloy locking edge.

[0017] 2. Beneficial effects

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0019] This utility model relates to a refrigerator shelf that is inserted into the refrigerator. The sides of the shelf are secured with aluminum alloy sleeves and edges, which fit over the sides and back of the shelf. The aluminum alloy sleeves and edges are rotatably installed and integrally connected. When closed, they fit over the front edge of the shelf. During use, the shelf is fitted on all four sides. The aluminum alloy sleeves and edges are held in place by elastic sheets with gradually expanding inner cavities and are secured by compression. After clamping, they are fixed to the sides of the shelf by their own clamping force. The aluminum alloy decorative strip on the outer side of the shelf, composed of the aluminum alloy edges and sleeves, improves stability and safety during use.

[0020] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment is a refrigerator aluminum alloy decorative strip with high safety performance, including a refrigerator partition 1, an aluminum alloy sleeve 2, an aluminum alloy edge 3, an elastic piece 6, and a mounting shaft 12. The aluminum alloy sleeve 2 is sleeved on the outside of the refrigerator partition 1, and an aluminum alloy edge 3 is provided on the front side of the aluminum alloy sleeve 2. An assembly groove 5 is opened on the inner side of the aluminum alloy sleeve 2 and the aluminum alloy edge 3. The upper and lower inner walls of the assembly groove 5 are provided with slots 21. An elastic piece 6 is embedded and snapped into the assembly groove 5. One end of the elastic piece 6 is provided with a snap block 20 that snaps into the slot 21. The distance between the opening of the elastic piece 6 and the inner side of the assembly groove 5 gradually increases. The main cross section between the elastic piece 6 and the inner wall of the assembly groove 5 at the opening of the assembly groove 5 forms a triangular movable cavity. One end of the aluminum alloy sleeve 2 is provided with a connecting block 11, and one end of the connecting block 11 is provided with a rotating shaft 10 that is rotatably installed inside the aluminum alloy edge 3.

[0036] A torsion spring 9 is symmetrically distributed on the outside of the rotating shaft 10 and connected at both ends to the connecting block 11 and the inner wall of the aluminum alloy retaining edge 3 respectively;

[0037] The outer wall of the aluminum alloy sleeve 2 and the aluminum alloy edge 3 is provided with an arc corner 4, and the inner wall of the assembly groove 5 is provided with a sealing gasket 7 that fits into the inner wall of the elastic piece 6.

[0038] Both the aluminum alloy sleeve 2 and the aluminum alloy edge 3 have hollow chambers 8 inside. One end of the aluminum alloy sleeve 2 is provided with a fixing tooth 17 located on the upper inner wall of the chamber 8. The aluminum alloy edge 3 is rotatably mounted with an installation shaft 12 located inside the chamber 8.

[0039] A rotating block 22 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting shaft 12. A locking tooth 19 is provided on one side of the upper end of the rotating block 22 to engage with the fixing tooth 17. A torsion spring 13 is sleeved on the outer side of the mounting shaft 12, with its two ends connected to the rotating block 22 and the inner wall of the chamber 8 respectively.

[0040] One end of the mounting shaft 12 is provided with a guide wheel 14, and one end of the guide wheel 14 is provided with a pull rope 18 sleeved on the outer side of the guide wheel 14. The upper end of the aluminum alloy clip 3 is provided with a stroke groove 15 that passes through the cavity 8. One end of the pull rope 18 passes through the stroke groove 15, and the upper end of the pull rope 18 is provided with a pull handle 16.

[0041] In this embodiment, the operator holds the decorative strip assembly consisting of aluminum alloy sleeve 2 and aluminum alloy edge 3, and inserts the front end of the refrigerator partition 1 into the assembly groove 5 of the aluminum alloy sleeve 2. The elastic sheet 6 on the inner wall of the assembly groove 5 adopts a wedge design with a gradually widening opening spacing. The triangular movable cavity formed by its main cross section generates elastic deformation when the partition is inserted. Through the stress recovery characteristics of the material itself, a continuous inward clamping force is formed. The inner side of the elastic sheet 6 is supported by the card block 20 to ensure the initial positioning of the decorative strip and the glass partition. At this time, the aluminum alloy edge 3 is automatically opened under the action of the torsion spring 9, providing an unobstructed insertion channel for the front end of the partition.

[0042] After the partition is fully inserted, manually press the aluminum alloy retaining edge 3 to make it rotate around the rotating shaft 10 and close. The rotating block 22 in the inner cavity 8 of the retaining edge rotates synchronously under the drive of the mounting shaft 12. The upper end retaining tooth 19 is engaged and fixed with the fixing tooth 17 of the aluminum alloy retaining sleeve 2 under the elastic force of the torsion spring 13. The inclined contact between the retaining tooth 19 and the fixing tooth 17 generates an axial component force. Through the lever principle, the closing action is converted into a continuous clamping force. Combined with the clamping action of the elastic piece 6, a double mechanical lock is formed. The contact surface between the refrigerator partition 1 and the elastic piece 6 is adhered through the sealing gasket 7 to avoid the elastic piece 6 hard contact and wear of the refrigerator partition 1. This structure improves the resistance of the decorative strip to falling off and fully meets the impact load requirements of frequent opening and closing of the refrigerator.

[0043] For routine cleaning or replacement, simply hold the handle 16 with one hand and lift it up along the travel groove 15. The pull rope 18 converts the longitudinal pulling force into the rotational torque of the mounting shaft 12 through the guide wheel 14, causing the rotating block 22 to rotate against the elastic force of the second torsion spring 13, so that the locking tooth 19 disengages from the fixed tooth 17. At this time, the aluminum alloy locking edge 3 automatically pops open under the action of the first torsion spring 9, releasing the covering state of the partition. The entire unlocking process only takes a few seconds, making it easy to clean oil stains in the gaps. The arc corner design makes the corners of the decorative strip smooth and avoids the risk of scratching when taking out and putting in items.

[0044] Aluminum alloy replaces traditional plastic decorative strips, improving its impact resistance. Combined with the hollow chamber 8 structure to form an energy absorption zone, it absorbs impact energy through plastic deformation in the event of an accident, while reducing the overall weight. The elastic sheet 6 is made of spring steel and heat-treated to ensure that it does not become brittle or fail at low temperatures. The tool-free quick disassembly and assembly and durable and stable fixation of the partition decorative strip are particularly suitable for reinforcing large-size glass partitions, reducing the accident rate of refrigerator partition 1 falling off, lowering the risk of glass breakage, and improving the safety of items stored in the refrigerator compartment.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
