Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of freezer shelf glass technology, and in particular to a foldable shelf glass device for freezers. Background Technology

[0002] Freezer shelf glass is a type of glass shelf used inside a freezer, primarily for supporting items and dividing the freezer into different compartments. These shelves are typically made of tempered glass, which is strong, impact-resistant, and easy to clean. Installation of the freezer shelf glass usually needs to be done according to the freezer's instruction manual to ensure a secure installation that will not affect the normal use of the freezer. During use, care should be taken to avoid strong impacts to prevent the glass from breaking. When cleaning, use a soft cloth and a neutral detergent; avoid using acidic detergents or abrasive cloths to prevent scratching the surface.

[0003] An existing type of foldable shelf glass device for freezers is not convenient for storing and unfolding the shelves in the freezer according to different operating needs when the whole device is in actual use, which affects the overall flexibility of the device. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a foldable shelf glass device for freezers.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a foldable shelf glass device for a freezer, comprising a freezer body, a limit pin fixedly connected to the inner wall of the freezer body, a fixed crossbar fixedly connected to the inner wall of the freezer body, a rotating support plate hinged to the surface of the fixed crossbar, a first shelf fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating support plate, a drain groove provided inside the first shelf, a rotating seat fixedly connected to the top of the first shelf, a rotating support rod hinged inside the rotating seat, a limit hook rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating support rod, a limit clip frame fixedly connected to the top of the first shelf, a pull handle fixedly connected to the top of the first shelf, and a second shelf fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating support plate.

[0006] The above technical solution involves creating a drain groove inside the first shelf, which works in conjunction with the limiting pin on the inner wall of the freezer to form a flow path. Condensate can be quickly drained to the bottom of the freezer through the drain groove, preventing water accumulation from breeding bacteria or corroding the shelf. This eliminates the need for frequent disassembly of the shelf to clean up water, reducing maintenance costs.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of limiting pins is set to four, and two pins are arranged in a group. The four limiting pins are symmetrically distributed front and back around the freezer body.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of fixed horizontal columns is set to two, and the two fixed horizontal columns are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides with the freezer body as the center, and the first shelf is located inside the freezer body.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the rotating support plate hinged to the fixed crossbar, combined with the linkage structure of the first shelf and the second shelf, realizes the vertical folding function of the shelf. After folding, it reduces the height occupied inside the freezer, making it convenient to store large items. Users can adjust the number of shelf layers according to storage needs to accommodate the placement of items of different sizes.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the second shelf is located inside the freezer body, and the number of the rotating support rod and the limiting hook is set to four, with each pair forming a group.

[0011] With the above technical solution, the rotating support rod is hinged to the rotating seat and is double-fixed by contacting the inner wall of the freezer through the limiting hook. When the second shelf is unfolded, the bottom of the rotating support rod contacts the top of the first shelf to form a triangular support structure, which prevents the shelf from shaking or tilting. The second shelf can be easily disassembled for cleaning or adjustment by rotating the support rod to disengage from the limiting frame.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of pull handles is set to two, and the two pull handles are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides with the freezer body as the center, and the pull handles are located inside the freezer body.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the surface of the limiting hook is in contact with the inner wall surface of the freezer body, the rotating support rod is inserted into the inside of the limiting bracket, and the bottom of the rotating support rod is in contact with the top surface of the first shelf.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the bottom of the rotating support rod contacts the top surface of the second shelf, and the pull handle is fixedly connected to the top of the second shelf.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This utility model features a hook that contacts the inner wall of the freezer, and a rotating support rod that is inserted into a limiting frame to form a mechanical interlock. The first and second shelves are made of glass and combined with metal limiting components. Through a foldable structure, efficient drainage design, linkage fixing mechanism, and user-friendly operation components, it achieves three core advantages for freezer shelves: space saving, improved stability, and convenient cleaning. At the same time, it also takes into account transparency and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for the diverse storage needs of household and commercial freezers.

[0017] This utility model features glass shelves that allow users to quickly identify items inside the freezer, reducing search time. A limiting frame distributes pressure, preventing the glass shelves from shattering due to excessive localized stress. A pull handle is fixed to the top of the second shelf and linked to the first shelf, allowing users to simultaneously unfold or fold the shelves by pulling the handle, avoiding direct contact with cold surfaces. The handle surface can be enhanced with anti-slip textures to improve safety when operating with wet hands. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0025] Example:

[0026] Please combine Figure 1-4This embodiment of a foldable shelf glass device for a freezer includes a freezer body 1. A limit pin 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the freezer body 1. A fixed crossbar 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the freezer body 1. A rotating support plate 10 is hinged to the surface of the fixed crossbar 3. A first shelf 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating support plate 10. A drain groove 5 is provided inside the first shelf 4. A rotating seat 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the first shelf 4. A rotating support rod 7 is hinged inside the rotating seat 6. A limit hook 8 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating support rod 7. A limit frame 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the first shelf 4. A pull handle 11 is fixedly connected to the top of shelf 4, and a second shelf 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of rotating support plate 10. It contacts the inner wall of the freezer through a hook. The rotating support rod 7 is inserted into the limiting frame 9 to form a mechanical interlock. The first shelf 4 and the second shelf 12 are made of glass and combined with metal limiting components. Through the foldable structure, efficient drainage design, linkage fixing mechanism and user-friendly operation components, the freezer shelf achieves three core advantages: space saving, improved stability and convenient cleaning. At the same time, it takes into account transparency and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for the diverse storage needs of household and commercial freezers.

[0027] A drain groove 5 is provided inside the first shelf 4, and it works with the limiting pin 2 on the inner wall of the freezer to form a flow path. Condensate can be quickly drained to the bottom of the freezer through the drain groove 5, avoiding water accumulation that can breed bacteria or corrode the shelf. This eliminates the need to frequently disassemble the shelf to clean up the water, reducing maintenance costs.

[0028] The number of limit pins 2 is set to four, and each pair is a group of two. The four limit pins 2 are symmetrically distributed around the freezer body 1.

[0029] The number of fixed horizontal columns 3 is set to two, and the two fixed horizontal columns 3 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides with the freezer body 1 as the center. The first shelf 4 is located inside the freezer body 1.

[0030] By using the rotating support plate 10 hinged to the fixed crossbar 3, combined with the linkage structure of the first shelf 4 and the second shelf 12, the vertical folding function of the shelf is realized. After folding, the height occupied inside the freezer is reduced, making it convenient to store large items. Users can adjust the number of shelf layers according to storage needs to accommodate the placement of items of different sizes.

[0031] The second shelf 12 is located inside the freezer body 1, and the number of rotating support rods 7 and limiting hooks 8 is set to four, with each pair forming a group.

When the second shelf 12 is unfolded, the bottom of the rotating support rod 7 contacts the top of the first shelf 4 to form a triangular support structure to prevent the shelf from shaking or tilting. The second shelf 12 can be easily disassembled for cleaning or adjustment by rotating the support rod 7 to disengage from the limiting clip 9.

[0033] The number of pull handles 11 is set to two, and the two pull handles 11 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides with the freezer body 1 as the center. The pull handles 11 are located inside the freezer body 1. The glass shelves make it easy for users to quickly identify the items in the freezer and reduce the time spent searching. The pressure is distributed by the limiting frame 9 to prevent the glass shelves from breaking due to excessive local stress. The pull handles 11 are fixed to the top of the second shelf 12 and are linked with the first shelf 4. Users can open or fold the shelves at the same time by pulling the handles 11 to avoid direct contact with the cold surface. The surface of the handles can be increased with anti-slip texture to improve the safety of operation with wet hands.

[0034] The surface of the limiting hook 8 is in contact with the inner wall surface of the freezer body 1, the rotating support rod 7 is inserted into the inside of the limiting frame 9, and the bottom of the rotating support rod 7 is in contact with the top surface of the first shelf 4.

[0035] The bottom of the rotating support rod 7 contacts the top surface of the second shelf 12, and the pull handle 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the second shelf 12.

[0036] The implementation principle of the foldable shelf glass device for freezers in this embodiment is as follows: Hooks are set to contact the inner wall of the freezer, and a rotating support rod 7 is inserted into a limiting frame 9 to form a mechanical interlock. The first shelf 4 and the second shelf 12 are made of glass and combined with metal limiting components. Through a foldable structure, efficient drainage design, linkage fixing mechanism, and user-friendly operation components, the freezer shelf achieves three core advantages: space saving, improved stability, and convenient cleaning. It also considers transparency and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for the diverse storage needs of household and commercial freezers. The glass shelves allow users to quickly identify items inside the freezer, reducing search time. The limiting frame 9 distributes pressure, preventing the glass shelves from breaking due to excessive localized force. The pull handle 11 is fixed to the top of the second shelf 12 and linked with the first shelf 4. Users can simultaneously unfold or fold the shelves by pulling the handle 11, avoiding direct contact with cold surfaces. Anti-slip textures can be added to the handle surface to improve safety when operating with wet hands.
