[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a countertop water dispenser shelf, including a mounting plate 10 and a shelf assembly 20. The mounting plate 10 has a mounting hole 101 in the center. The shelf assembly 20 is arranged on the left and right sides of the mounting plate 10. The shelf assembly 20 includes a side shelf 201, a rack 202, a gear 203 and a threaded post 204. The rack 202 is arranged on the inner side of the side shelf 201, the gear 203 is arranged on one side of the rack 202, and the threaded post 204 is arranged between the gear 203 and the mounting plate 10.
[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, two racks 202 are fixed on the inner side of the side shelf 201, and movable grooves 102 for the racks 202 to be adapted are provided on both sides of the mounting plate 10. The racks 202 are movably connected to the mounting plate 10 through the movable grooves 102. The movable grooves 102 facilitate the adjustment of the distance between the side shelf 201 and the mounting plate 10 through the racks 202.
[0030] In this embodiment, the racks 202 of the side shelves 201 on the left and right sides are arranged opposite each other, and the gear 203 is arranged between the two opposite racks 202 and meshes with the racks 202, so that after the two racks 202 have moved, the position of the racks 202 is fixed by restricting the gear 203.
[0031] In this embodiment, both the gear 203 and the mounting plate 10 have connecting holes 205 that are adapted to the threaded post 204. The threaded post 204 passes through the connecting hole 205 through the mounting plate 10 and is threadedly engaged with the gear 203. The gear 203 is fixed by the threaded post 204 passing through the mounting plate 10. The gear 203 and the rack 202 are restricted by the tooth groove, so that the gear 203 limits the rack 202.
[0032] In this embodiment, the movable groove 102 is a blind groove design, with one end closed to form the groove bottom. An elastic element 30 is provided between the end of the rack 202 and the groove bottom of the movable groove 102. The elastic element 30 includes a spring 301 and a damping pad 302. The damping pad 302 is provided at both ends of the spring 301. The spring 301 and the damping pad 302 are threaded together. The spring 301 is installed on the rack 202 and the groove bottom of the movable groove 102 through the damping pad 302. When items are placed or removed on the side shelf 201, the shelf will be subjected to a certain impact force. The damping pad 302 can absorb these impact forces and prevent the shelf from shaking or shifting due to external forces, thereby improving the stability and service life of the shelf.
[0033] In this embodiment, the spring 301 is threadedly engaged with the rack 202 and the mounting plate 10 through the damping pad 302. The spring 301 applies a certain pulling force to the rack 202, thereby improving the stability of the side shelf 201. An elastic post 303 is provided on the inner side of the spring 301. The two ends of the elastic post 303 are fixedly connected to the damping pad 302. The elastic post 303 stabilizes the spring 301 and prevents the spring 301 from undergoing severe deformation during the stretching process.
[0034] In this embodiment, the bottom side of the mounting plate 10 is provided with an anti-slip silicone gasket. The anti-slip silicone gasket and the mounting hole 101 are designed to be coaxial. The anti-slip silicone gasket can prevent the mounting plate 10 from slipping when it is mounted on the opening of the water dispenser, making the overall position of the shelf on the water dispenser more stable.
[0035] Specifically, place the mounting plate 10 on top of the water dispenser, ensuring that the mounting hole 101 is aligned with the opening of the water dispenser. Adjust the distance between the side shelf 201 and the mounting plate 10 according to the size of the water dispenser. Manually rotate the threaded column 204 counterclockwise to release it from the mounting plate 10 and the gear 203. Pull out or push back the side shelf 201 as needed and adjust the distance between it and the mounting plate 10. During the movement, the rack 202 will slide in the movable groove 102, and the gear 203 will rotate on the outside of the unthreaded end of the threaded column 204. After the side shelf 201 is adjusted to the appropriate position, rotate the threaded column 204 clockwise to make it pass through the mounting plate 10 and engage with the gear 203, fixing the gear 203. The tooth groove between the gear 203 and the rack 202 will ensure that the position of the rack 202 is fixed, thereby fixing the position of the side shelf 201.
[0036] Place items such as cups and kettles on the side shelf 201. Considering the load-bearing capacity, an elastic element 30 is added between the rack 202 and the mounting plate 10. When the side shelf 201 is subjected to external force (i.e., the gear 203 and rack 202 fail to function), the spring 301 will be stretched. The elastic force of the spring 301 applies a certain pulling force to the rack 202, offsetting part of the weight, thereby reducing the burden on the shelf, improving its load-bearing capacity, and ensuring the stability of the shelf. The elastic column 303 inside the spring 301 stabilizes the spring 301. When the spring 301 is stretched, the deformation range of the spring 301 is limited, ensuring that the spring 301 can work normally and ensuring the stability of the shelf during use.
[0037] The mounting plate 10, side shelf 201, rack 202, gear 203, threaded column 204, spring 301, damping pad 302, elastic column 303 and other components of this utility model are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.
