Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator accessories technology, specifically to a refrigerator glass shelf with decorative strips. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of refrigerator technology, users have increasingly higher requirements for the practicality, aesthetics, and functionality of the refrigerator's internal structure. Glass shelves, as an important component inside the refrigerator, are mainly used for layered food storage, and their design directly affects the user experience. Traditional refrigerator glass shelves typically use fixed installation or simple sliding structures, which have the following technical drawbacks: Inconvenient installation and disassembly; most glass shelves are installed using clips or fixed brackets, requiring force to pry them open during disassembly, easily damaging the shelf or the refrigerator's inner wall, and making cleaning and maintenance difficult. Lack of cushioning protection; shelves are prone to colliding with the refrigerator back panel when pushed in or pulled out, potentially leading to glass breakage or slide rail deformation over time, affecting lifespan. Ordinary glass shelves only have basic load-bearing function and lack aesthetic design, failing to meet users' visual demands for high-end refrigerators. Therefore, we propose a refrigerator glass shelf with decorative strips. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems in the prior art, this utility model proposes a refrigerator glass shelf with decorative strips.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A refrigerator glass shelf with decorative strips includes a refrigerator back panel and a refrigerator side panel. The inner ends of the side panel are respectively provided with slide rails, and a glass shelf is detachably slidably mounted on the slide rails. The glass shelf includes a glass plate and decorative strips installed at both ends. The inner sidewall of the decorative strip is provided with a fixing groove, and the upper and lower sides of both ends of the glass plate are provided with protrusions. A set of buffer blocks arranged in a straight line are embedded in the refrigerator back panel. When the glass shelf is inserted into the slide rail, its rear side contacts the buffer blocks, wherein the protrusions are embedded in the fixing grooves.

[0006] As a further improvement to this solution, a motor is embedded in the inner side of the refrigerator back panel. A winding reel is installed at the output end of the motor, and a traction rope is wound around the outer surface of the winding reel. The other end of the traction rope is connected to a "T"-shaped slide rod through a through hole in the refrigerator back panel. A first slot is provided on the right side of the through hole, a second slot is provided on the right side of the inner wall of the first slot, and a third slot is provided on the right side of the inner wall of the second slot. A spring is connected to the end of the "T"-shaped slide rod in the first slot. A locking block is slidably inserted through the second slot. A buffer block is installed on the outside of the refrigerator back panel. The long end of the "T"-shaped slide rod passes through the second through hole in the locking block and extends to the third slot.

[0007] As a further improvement to this solution, the long end of the "T"-shaped slide rod is slidably connected to the inner and outer surfaces of the first slot with a sliding sleeve, and the upper and lower ends of the sliding sleeve are fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the inner wall of the first slot.

[0008] As a further improvement to this solution, the decorative strip is provided with reflective ribbons inside.

[0009] As a further improvement to this solution, mounting holes are provided on the side of the slide rail, and the front of the slide rail is bent into a "[" shaped slide.

[0010] As a further improvement to this solution, the motor is controlled to start and stop via the refrigerator control panel.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This novel refrigerator glass shelf uses a buffer block embedded in the refrigerator back panel to ensure the shelf contacts the buffer block when pushed in, reducing impact. A motor-driven winding reel controls the traction rope, which in turn moves the "T"-shaped slide rod to adjust the removal of the buffer block for easy cleaning. Reflective ribbons reflect light under the refrigerator's internal lighting, enhancing the overall aesthetics. The "["-shaped slide ensures smooth sliding of the glass shelf, and the mounting holes facilitate fixing the slide rail to the refrigerator side panel. The reflective design of the decorative strip enhances the visual effect inside the refrigerator, meeting users' aesthetic needs. The optimized slide rail has a stronger load-bearing capacity, preventing deformation or breakage and extending its service life. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a refrigerator glass shelf with decorative strips, including a refrigerator back panel 100 and a refrigerator side panel 200. The inner ends of the refrigerator side panel 200 are respectively provided with slide rails 101. A glass shelf 300 is detachably slidably mounted on the slide rails 101. The glass shelf 300 includes a glass plate and decorative strips 301 installed at both ends. The inner side wall of the decorative strip 301 is provided with a fixing groove 303. The upper and lower sides of both ends of the glass plate are provided with protrusions 304. A set of buffer blocks 400 arranged in a straight line are embedded in the refrigerator back panel 100. When the glass shelf 300 is inserted into the slide rail 101, its rear side contacts the buffer blocks 400. The protrusions 304 are embedded in the fixing grooves 303.

[0022] The decorative strip 301 has a reflective ribbon 302 inside. The slide rail 101 has mounting holes 1012 on its side, and the front of the slide rail 101 is bent into a "[" shaped slide track 1011. The motor 406 is controlled to start and stop via the refrigerator control panel.

[0023] The refrigerator glass shelf system of this embodiment is mainly composed of the following core components: (1) Support frame: including refrigerator back panel 100 and refrigerator side panel 200; (2) Sliding mechanism: slide rail 101, including "[" shaped slide rail 1011 and mounting hole 1012; (3) Shelf body: glass shelf 300, including glass plate and decorative strip 301; (4) Buffer system including buffer block 400; (5) Decorative component including reflective ribbon 302; The slide rail 101 is fixed to the refrigerator side panel 200 through the mounting hole 1012. On the inner side, parallel tracks are formed on both sides; the protrusions 304 at both ends of the glass plate are precisely embedded in the fixing grooves 303 of the decorative strip 301; the assembled shelf slides back and forth through the "[" shaped slide 1011, the opening size of the slide is 1.2-1.5mm larger than the thickness of the glass plate; when the shelf is pushed in, its rear end face contacts the linearly arranged buffer blocks 400 (preferably made of EPP material); the compression deformation of the buffer blocks 400 can reach 30%, which can effectively absorb the impact energy when a 0.5kg item is pushed in at a speed of 0.3m / s.

While maintaining the basic functions of the glass shelf, it achieves multiple effects such as convenient disassembly and assembly, silent buffering, and intelligent decoration.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] This embodiment provides a refrigerator glass shelf with decorative strips. Its structure is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1. The difference lies in that, based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment further discloses that a motor 407 is embedded and installed inside the refrigerator back panel 100. A winding reel 406 is installed at the output end of the motor 407, and a traction rope 405 is wound around the outer surface of the winding reel 406. The other end of the traction rope 405 is connected to a "T"-shaped sliding rod 402 through a through hole in the refrigerator back panel 100. The right side of the through hole... A first slot is provided, a second slot is provided on the right side of the inner wall of the first slot, and a third slot is provided on the right side of the inner wall of the second slot; the end of the "T"-shaped slide rod 402 is located in the first slot and connected to a spring 404; the long end of the "T"-shaped slide rod 402 is located in the second slot and slides through a locking block 401; the locking block 401 is installed on the outside of the refrigerator back panel 100 as a buffer block 400; the long end of the "T"-shaped slide rod 402 passes through the second through hole 4011 opened in the locking block 401 and extends to the third slot.

[0026] The long end of the “T”-shaped slide rod 402 is slidably connected to the inner and outer surfaces of the first slot with a sliding sleeve 403. The upper and lower ends of the sliding sleeve 403 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the inner wall of the first slot.

[0027] When the buffer block 400 needs to be removed for cleaning, the motor 407 is started via the control panel. The motor 407 drives the winding reel 406 to retract the traction rope 405. When the traction rope 405 retracts, the "T"-shaped slide bar 402 moves backward, and the front part of the "T"-shaped slide bar 402 compresses the spring 404. The long end of the "T"-shaped slide bar 402 leaves the second through hole 4011 and is pulled out of the locking block 401. At this time, the buffer block 400 is removed for cleaning. After cleaning, the locking block 401 is placed into the second locking slot, the power to the motor 407 is turned off, the spring 404 returns to its original position, and the "T"-shaped slide bar 402 is pushed along the sliding sleeve 403 into the second through hole 4011. The front end of the "T"-shaped slide bar 402 is inserted into the third locking slot, thus completing the installation of the buffer block 400.

[0028] The above description is merely an illustrative example of the structure of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described, or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of this utility model or exceed the scope defined in the claims, all of which should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
