Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator shelf technology, and more specifically, to a support structure that can fix various refrigerator shelves. Background Technology
[0002] As a primary component for dividing storage space, the internal shelves of a refrigerator play a crucial role in the user experience and the utilization of the refrigerator's internal space. With consumers' increasing demands for refrigerator functionality and ease of use, various refrigerator shelves of different specifications and thicknesses have emerged on the market. These shelves differ in materials, dimensions, and designs to meet diverse storage needs and aesthetic preferences.
[0003] Because refrigerator shelves of different brands and models vary in thickness, and existing support structures typically use fixed-size clamping methods, they cannot adaptively adjust to the actual thickness of the shelves. This results in the support structure failing to provide a stable clamping force when thinner or thicker shelves are placed, causing the shelves to wobble, shift, or even fall off. This not only affects the safety of items stored on the shelves but may also damage other internal components of the refrigerator. Furthermore, the overall width of traditional refrigerator shelf support structures is usually fixed and cannot be adjusted for shelves of different widths, meaning the support structure can only fit shelves of a specific width. To address these problems, this device was invented. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a support structure that can fix various refrigerator shelves to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0026] See attached document Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a support structure for fixing various refrigerator shelves, including two opposing longitudinal support plates 1. Support feet 2 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the longitudinal support plates 1. The longitudinal support plates 1 are made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal materials (such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy) to ensure long-term stability and durability. The support feet 2 are also made of metal to ensure long-term stability and durability. Their surfaces are treated with anti-slip material to enhance friction with the inner wall of the refrigerator.
[0027] See attached document Figure 1Multiple suction cups 3 are provided between the support feet 2 on both sides of the bottom of the longitudinal support plate 1. The suction cups 3 are made of rubber material and have a diameter of 30-50mm. The suction cups 3 are strongly attached to the inner wall of the refrigerator, which enhances the structural stability of the longitudinal support plate 1 during use.
[0028] See attached document Figure 2 The inner wall of the longitudinal receiving plate 1 has multiple insertion slots 4 at equal intervals. The depth of the insertion slots 4 is 50-80mm. The opening of the insertion slots 4 is flared to facilitate the quick insertion and positioning of the shelf. The top of the insertion slots 4 has multiple mounting holes 5 at equal intervals. The insertion slots 4 and the mounting holes 5 form an insertion assembly. A spring 6 is fixedly installed in the mounting hole 5. A pressing block 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring 6. The spring 6 and the pressing block 7 form an elastic clamping assembly. The pressing block 7 has an inverted trapezoidal structure, and the inclined surface of the inverted trapezoidal structure faces the opening of the insertion slot 4. The pressure of the spring 6 achieves a stable clamping of the shelf to adapt to refrigerator shelves of different thicknesses.
[0029] See attached document Figure 2 and Figure 3 One of the longitudinal support plates 1 has a No. 1 connecting sleeve 8 fixedly installed on both sides of the top and bottom of the inner wall. A connecting rod 9 is set between the two No. 1 connecting sleeves 8 located on the same horizontal plane. The connecting rod 9 is fixedly installed on the longitudinal support plate 1. A stepped hole 10 is opened at the outer end of the connecting rod 9. A screw 11 is set on the outside of the connecting rod 9. A gripping block 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 11. The outer surface of the gripping block 12 is processed with anti-slip texture to facilitate manual rotation. A stepped rod 13 that matches the stepped hole 10 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the gripping block 12. Both the gripping block 12 and the stepped rod 13 are set towards the connecting rod 9. That is, the screw 11 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 9 through the stepped rod 13. When in use, rotating the gripping block 12 can realize the rotation of the screw 11.
[0030] See attached document Figure 2 On the inner walls of another longitudinal receiving plate 1, on both sides of the top and bottom, are fixedly installed insert rods 14 that are compatible with the first connecting sleeve 8. A second connecting sleeve 15 is positioned between the two insert rods 14 on the same horizontal plane. The inner wall of the second connecting sleeve 15 is machined with internal threads. The screw 11 is threadedly connected to the second connecting sleeve 15, and the length of the insert rod 14 is greater than the length of the second connecting sleeve 15. By rotating the screw 11 through the gripping block 12, the other longitudinal receiving plate 1 can be moved. The insert rods 14 at the four corners are slidably connected to the first connecting sleeves 8 at the four corners. Through the arrangement of the first connecting sleeve 8, connecting rod 9, screw 11, insert rod 14, and second connecting sleeve 15, the distance between the two longitudinal receiving plates 1 is adjustable to accommodate refrigerator shelves of different widths. The first connecting sleeve 8, connecting rod 9, screw 11, insert rod 14, and second connecting sleeve 15 constitute an elastic clamping assembly.
[0031] The support structure for fixing various refrigerator shelves uses two opposing longitudinal support plates 1 as the main support structure. The connection stability between the longitudinal support plates 1 and the inner wall of the refrigerator is enhanced by the support feet 2 and suction cups 3. The insertion grooves 4, springs 6, and pressing blocks 7 on the inner wall of the longitudinal support plates 1 are used to achieve stable clamping of shelves of different thicknesses. The distance between the two longitudinal support plates 1 is adjusted by the first connecting sleeve 8, connecting rod 9, screw 11, insertion rod 14 and the second connecting sleeve 15 to accommodate refrigerator shelves of different widths.
