Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to shelving, specifically to a high-strength storage rack, shelf, and refrigerated cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Supermarkets and convenience stores use shelves to store goods (mainly bottled beverages, wine, and water). Sliding shelves are primarily composed of mounting frames and sliding tracks. The mounting frames act as supports, connecting to the refrigerated display case. Multiple tracks are arranged side-by-side within the mounting frames. Goods are placed on the tracks, which are typically angled. After the first bottle of beverage is removed, the subsequent bottles slide forward automatically due to gravity, making it easier for customers to access and reducing stocking costs. To facilitate separation of goods between different tracks, dividers are usually installed between adjacent tracks.
[0003] The mounting frame of an existing shelf typically consists of a rectangular frame with multiple crossbeams and / or longitudinal beams to increase its strength and load-bearing capacity. Multiple slides are pre-connected as a whole by the frame, and then the entire slide is placed on the mounting frame and fixed.
[0004] For example, the utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN219868738U discloses a high-strength, deformation-resistant shelf slide assembly, combined with its appendix... Figures 1-2 The high-strength, deformation-resistant shelf slide assembly improves the bending strength of the shelf slide assembly by setting support plates 5 and reinforcing plates 6 on the guide plate 3 and connecting all the guide plates 3 into a whole by two mounting strips 11. However, the base frame 1, which is used to support the weight of the overall guide plate 3 and the goods, is a rectangular frame structure. In order to obtain sufficient strength, the base frame 1 and its support beams 2 need to have sufficient thickness in the vertical direction. The shelves in the refrigerated cabinet are arranged vertically. The greater the thickness of the base frame 1 and its support beams 2, the smaller the effective space for placing goods. The existing base frame structure has a large thickness, which is not conducive to making full use of the effective height space of the refrigerated cabinet, and the space utilization rate needs to be improved.
[0005] In response, existing technologies have made corresponding improvements by setting the partitions as flat components with a large height and a small width, and connecting the two ends of the partitions to the front and rear side plates. The partitions of the above structure have strong bending resistance in the vertical plane (load-bearing direction). The connection of the two ends of multiple partitions to the front and rear side plates forms a whole, thereby giving the entire mounting frame sufficient strength and rigidity to support the slide and the goods. As a result, the support beams in the existing technology can be eliminated, and instead, support plates are used to support the slide. The support plates are only used to support the slide and do not need to be components that bear the strength and rigidity of the mounting frame.
[0006] While the above improvements can effectively reduce the thickness of the mounting frame used to support the slide and goods, increase the effective vertical placement space of the refrigerated cabinet, and improve the space utilization of the refrigerated cabinet, the partitions and support plates are flat components, which do not have high bending strength in the direction perpendicular to the slide and are prone to twisting. The overall rigidity of the mounting frame is poor and it is prone to deformation, which affects the placement of goods. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and provide a high-strength storage rack. This high-strength storage rack can not only effectively reduce the thickness of the parts used to support the slide and goods, but also has high strength, especially in the direction perpendicular to the slide, which improves the overall rigidity of the rack, makes it less prone to deformation, and ensures the normal placement of goods.
[0008] Another objective of this invention is to provide a shelf that includes the aforementioned high-strength storage rack.
[0009] The third objective of this invention is to provide a refrigerator that includes the aforementioned shelves.
[0010] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0011] A high-strength storage rack includes a frame, dividers, and support plates;
[0012] The partition is fixedly installed on the inside of the frame. The upper part of the partition is a flat structure with a large height and a small width, and the lower part of the partition is a long tubular structure. The cross-sectional width of the long tubular structure is greater than the cross-sectional width of the upper part of the partition.
[0013] The support plate is disposed at the bottom of the separator, and extends laterally from the bottom of the separator to form a support portion for supporting the slide.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the height of the elongated tubular structure is less than the height of the slide, so that the bottom of the goods rests only on the slide, rather than on the elongated tubular structure, ensuring smooth sliding under its own weight.
[0015] Furthermore, the elongated tubular structure is a rectangular tube, and the upper part of the separator is located directly above the rectangular tube.
[0016] A shelf includes the high-strength storage mounting rack and a slide rail, wherein both side walls of the slide rail are provided with a support portion extending laterally on a support portion of a support plate.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the supporting part is positioned at a predetermined distance from the bottom surface of the slide rail, the distance being equal to the height of the supporting plate. When the supporting part is resting on the supporting plate, the bottom surface of the slide rail is flush with the bottom surface of the supporting plate. This allows the thickness of the slide rail to cover the thickness of the supporting plate, effectively eliminating the thickness of the portion of the mounting frame used to support the slide rail and goods, maximizing the effective vertical placement space of the refrigerator and improving its space utilization.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lateral extension dimension of the receiving part is equal to the lateral extension dimension of the supporting part, so that the end of the supporting part just abuts against the side wall of the slide, thereby positioning and limiting the slide and preventing the slide from loosening to the left or right, which would affect the placement of goods.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, multiple dividers in the high-strength storage rack divide the frame into multiple slide rail installation spaces. Each slide rail space contains an independent slide rail, and the support portion of each slide rail rests on the support portion. Compared to the prior art method of assembling multiple slide rails into a single unit using mounting strips and then placing it on the base frame, this method reduces the number of slide rail production steps, saving on material, processing, and assembly costs of the mounting strips. Furthermore, since the two ends of the slide rail do not need to be connected to the mounting strips, a longer effective placement space is obtained, allowing for the placement of more goods and preventing goods at the rear from becoming "stranded," ensuring that goods at the rear can slide down normally.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the slide rail and the high-strength storage mounting frame are connected together by a connecting structure.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the slide rail includes a roller frame, balls, and a plug; two roller frames are provided and arranged in parallel, and the supporting part is provided on the outer wall of the roller frame.
[0022] A refrigerator includes a plurality of shelves arranged vertically along the refrigerator.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0024] 1. The high-strength storage rack of this utility model has a long strip-shaped tubular structure at the bottom of the divider. The cross-sectional width of the long strip-shaped tubular structure is greater than that of the upper part of the divider, which can significantly enhance the strength in the direction perpendicular to the slide, improve the overall rigidity of the rack, prevent deformation, and ensure the proper placement of goods.
[0025] 2. Support plates are used to support the slide rails (only for supporting the slide rails). They do not need to be components that bear the strength and rigidity of the mounting frame. Therefore, their thickness can be set much smaller than the thickness of the base frame and support beam in the existing technology. This greatly reduces the thickness of the part of the mounting frame used to support the slide rails and goods while ensuring the overall strength and rigidity of the mounting frame. This increases the effective vertical placement space of the refrigerated cabinet and improves the space utilization rate of the refrigerated cabinet.
[0026] 3. Compared to existing slides where the bottom surface is placed on the support plate, this utility model places the support portion of the slide's side wall on the support plate, allowing the slide to extend downwards (until the bottom surface of the slide is flush with the bottom surface of the support plate). This allows the thickness of the slide to cover the thickness of the support plate, effectively eliminating the thickness of the mounting bracket used to support the slide and goods, further increasing the effective vertical placement space of the refrigerator and improving the space utilization rate of the refrigerator.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the implementation of this utility model is not limited thereto.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Combination Figures 1-3 The high-strength storage rack of this embodiment includes a frame 1, a divider 2, and a support plate 3. The divider 2 is fixedly disposed inside the frame 1. The upper part of the divider 2 is a flat structure with a large height and a small width in cross-section, and the lower part of the divider 2 is a long strip-shaped tubular structure. The cross-sectional width of the long strip-shaped tubular structure is greater than the cross-sectional width of the upper part of the divider 2. The support plate 3 is disposed at the bottom of the divider 2, and the support plate 3 extends laterally from the bottom of the divider 2 to form a support portion 301 for supporting the slide rail. Specifically, the divider 2 and the support plate 3 are integrally disposed.
[0033] Combination Figure 3The height of the elongated tubular structure is less than the height of the slide, so that the bottom of the goods rests on the slide rather than on the elongated tubular structure, ensuring smooth sliding under its own weight.
[0034] Furthermore, the elongated tubular structure is a rectangular tube, and the upper part of the separator 2 is located directly above the rectangular tube.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] Combination Figures 1-3 The refrigerator in this embodiment includes multiple shelves arranged vertically along the refrigerator. The shelves include high-strength storage racks and slides. The slides include rollers 4, balls 5 and plugs 6. There are two rollers 4 arranged in parallel. Both sides of the rollers 4 are provided with a support portion 401 that extends laterally on the support portion 301 of the support plate 3.
[0037] Furthermore, the supporting part 401 is positioned at a predetermined distance from the bottom surface of the slide rail, which is equal to the height of the support plate 3. When the supporting part 401 is supported on the support plate 3, the bottom surface of the slide rail is flush with the bottom surface of the support plate 3. This allows the thickness of the slide rail to cover the thickness of the support plate 3, completely eliminating the thickness of the mounting bracket used to support the slide rail and goods, further increasing the effective vertical placement space of the refrigerator and improving its space utilization.
[0038] Furthermore, the lateral extension dimension of the receiving part 401 is equal to the lateral extension dimension of the supporting part 301, so that the end of the supporting part 301 just abuts against the side wall of the slide, thereby positioning and limiting the slide and preventing the slide from loosening to the left or right, which would affect the placement of goods.
[0039] Combination Figure 1 The high-strength storage rack has multiple dividers 2 that divide the frame 1 into multiple slide rail installation spaces. Each slide rail space contains an independent slide rail, and the support portion 401 of each slide rail rests on the support portion 301. Compared with the existing technology of assembling multiple slide rails into a whole using mounting strips and then placing it on the bottom frame, this method reduces the number of slide rail production steps, saving on material, processing, and assembly costs of the mounting strips. Furthermore, since the two ends of the slide rail do not need to be connected to the mounting strips, a longer effective placement space can be obtained, which is beneficial for placing more goods and avoids the phenomenon of goods at the back being "stranded," ensuring that goods at the back can slide down normally.
[0040] Combination Figures 1-3 The slide rail and the high-strength storage rack are connected together by a connecting structure, such as existing technology, like hooks.
[0041] The above are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above content. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
