Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vertical freezer technology, specifically to a shelf structure for a vertical freezer. Background Technology

[0002] An upright freezer is a refrigeration device that is placed vertically and accessed by opening and closing the door. Compared with traditional freezers, upright freezers avoid the stacking and compression of items, and items are easily visible and accessible without the need for rummaging. In addition, the vertical design of upright freezers takes up little horizontal space, making them suitable for small apartments, kitchens, or offices with limited space.

[0003] See Figure 1 Currently, the upright freezer includes a cabinet body 1. The interior of the cabinet body 1 has several shelves 2 arranged vertically, which are used to place frozen products. The left and right inner walls of the cabinet body 1 have several horizontal bars 14 arranged vertically, which are used to support the shelves 2.

[0004] When adjusting the height of a certain shelf 2, since there are horizontal bars 14 blocking the top and bottom of this shelf 2, the shelf 2 needs to be completely pulled out from the cabinet 1 to avoid being obstructed by the horizontal bars 14; then move the shelf 2 up or down to the target height; finally, push the shelf 2 back into the cabinet 1, where the horizontal bars 14 at the target height support the shelf 2.

[0005] Adjusting the shelf height requires pulling the shelf completely out of the cabinet, which increases the risk of frozen products falling off the shelf, thus requiring improved safety. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a shelf structure for a vertical freezer. When adjusting the shelf height, this invention eliminates the need to completely remove the shelf from the freezer, reducing the risk of frozen products falling from the shelf and improving safety during use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A shelf structure for an upright freezer includes a cabinet body. Inside the cabinet body, several shelves are arranged vertically. Adjustment holes are provided on both the left and right sides of each shelf. Each adjustment hole includes an entry section and a support section. One end of the entry section extends to the outer side of the shelf, and the other end connects to the rear end of the support section. The cabinet body also includes uprights that engage with the adjustment holes. The uprights have multiple support seats along the vertical direction for supporting the shelves. The front-to-back horizontal width of each support seat is smaller than the front-to-back horizontal width of the entry section, and the sum of the left-to-right horizontal widths of the support seats and the left-to-right horizontal widths of the uprights is greater than the left-to-right horizontal widths of the support sections.

[0008] Furthermore, the shelf includes a glass plate and a plastic edging surrounding the glass plate, with the adjustment holes provided on the plastic edging.

[0009] Furthermore, the front end of the plastic edging is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner rear wall of the cabinet is provided with a slot, and the rear end of the shelf is inserted into the slot.

[0011] Furthermore, the rear inner wall of the cabinet is provided with an upper limit bar and a lower limit bar, and the slot is provided between the upper limit bar and the lower limit bar.

[0012] Furthermore, both the upper and lower ends of the upright are threaded with support seats. The support seat at the lower end of the upright abuts against the inner bottom wall of the cabinet, and the support seat at the upper end of the upright abuts against the inner top wall of the cabinet.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. When adjusting the height of a shelf, the following actions are required: pulling the shelf outwards, moving the shelf up and down, and pushing the shelf inwards. Specifically, when pulling the shelf outwards and pushing it inwards, the range of motion is the length of the support section in the adjustment hole, which is smaller than the range of motion in the prior art, eliminating the need to completely pull the shelf out of the cabinet. This reduces the time required to adjust the shelf height, improving efficiency; it also reduces the risk of frozen products falling from the shelf, enhancing safety.

[0014] 2. By using plastic edging to surround the glass panel, the glass panel can be prevented from directly colliding with the inner wall of the cabinet, which can reduce the risk of the glass panel breaking. In addition, compared with metal edging, plastic edging is not easily corroded and is easier to clean, which helps to improve safety and reliability.

[0015] 3. When the rear end of the shelf is inserted into the slot, the shelf is supported not only by the support base but also by the slot, which helps improve the stability of the shelf. Furthermore, the upper wall of the slot prevents the rear end of the shelf from tilting up, further enhancing its stability.

[0016] 4. By screwing on the support base at the upper and / or lower end of the upright, the upright can be raised or lowered using the support base, so that the upright can adapt to cabinets with different internal cavity heights, which helps to improve the flexibility of use.

[0017] 5. By twisting the support at the top of the upright downwards, the contact between the support and the inner top wall of the cabinet can be released, allowing the upright to be removed from the cabinet. When removing the upright from the cabinet, the upright will also pull the shelf out of the cabinet, allowing the shelf to be completely removed. Then, remove the upright from the adjustment hole of the shelf to separate the upright and the shelf, making it easier for users to clean the shelf and upright separately, thus improving cleaning efficiency.

[0021] Example: See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A shelf structure for a vertical freezer, including a cabinet body 1.

[0022] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cabinet 1 has several shelves 2 arranged vertically inside. In this embodiment, there are five shelves 2.

[0023] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 Each shelf 2 has adjustment holes 221 on both the left and right sides. The adjustment holes 221 include an entry section 2211 and a support section 2212. One end of the entry section 2211 extends to the outside of the shelf 2, and the other end of the entry section 2211 is connected to the rear end of the support section 2212.

[0024] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cabinet 1 also has uprights 3 inside. See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 The upright 3 is provided with multiple support seats 31 along the vertical direction, and the upright 3 and the support seats 31 are an integral structure.

[0025] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 The front and rear horizontal width of the support seat 31 is smaller than the front and rear horizontal width of the entry section 2211.

[0026] See Figure 10 The sum of the left and right horizontal widths of the support 31 and the left and right horizontal widths of the upright 3 is greater than the left and right horizontal widths of the support section 2212.

[0027] See Figure 11When the upright 3 moves to the rear end of the support section 2212, the support 31 corresponds to the position of the entry section 2211. Furthermore, because the front-to-back horizontal width of the support 31 is smaller than the front-to-back horizontal width of the entry section 2211, the support 31 can continuously move in and out of the entry section 2211 from the top and bottom as the shelf 2 moves up and down along the upright 3.

[0028] See Figure 10 When the upright 3 moves to the front end of the support section 2212, because the sum of the left and right horizontal widths of the support 31 and the upright 3 is greater than the left and right horizontal widths of the support section 2212, the top surface of the support 31 can abut against the bottom surface of the shelf 2, so that the support 31 can support the shelf 2.

[0029] See Figure 12 When the upright 3 moves out of the end of the entry section 2211 away from the support section 2212, the shelf 2 separates from the upright 3.

[0030] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to adjust the height of a certain shelf 2, the process is as follows: (1) The user pulls the shelf 2 outward from the cabinet 1, so that the shelf 2 moves outward relative to the stationary upright 3, and the upright 3 changes from the state of being located at the front end of the support section 2212 to the state of being located at the rear end of the support section 2212.

[0031] When the upright 3 is located at the rear end of the support section 2212, see Figure 11 The rear side wall of the support section 2212 is blocked by the upright 3, causing the shelf 2 to stop moving out of the cabinet 1. Furthermore, the support seat 31 on the upright 3 corresponds to the position of the entry section 2211, so that the shelf 2 is not supported by the support seat 31, that is, the supporting function of the support seat 31 on the shelf 2 is released.

[0032] In summary, the purpose of this step (1) is to release the support of the support seat 31 on the shelf 2 so that the height of the shelf 2 can be adjusted up and down in the next step. When releasing the support of the support seat 31 on the shelf 2, it is only necessary to pull the shelf 2 outward by the length of the support section 2212.

[0033] (2) The user moves the shelf 2 up or down, so that the shelf 2 slides up or down along the upright 3. Because the support 31 has been moved to the position of the entry section 2211 in step (1), when the shelf 2 slides up and down along the upright 3, the support 31 on the upright 3 moves in and out of the entry section 2211 of the shelf 2 in the vertical direction, so that the shelf 2 will not be obstructed by the support 31 when it moves up and down.

[0034] In summary, the purpose of this step (2) is to adjust the height of shelf 2.

[0035] (3) When the shelf 2 is moved to the required height, the user pushes the shelf 2 into the cabinet 1, so that the shelf 2 moves into the cabinet 1 relative to the stationary upright 3, and the upright 3 changes from the state of being located at the rear end of the support section 2212 to the state of being located at the front end of the support section 2212.

[0036] When the upright 3 is located at the front end of the support section 2212, see Figure 10 The front side wall of the support section 2212 is blocked by the upright 3, causing the shelf 2 to stop moving into the cabinet 1. The support seat 31 on the upright 3 supports the shelf 2, thereby completing the height adjustment of the shelf 2.

[0037] In summary, the purpose of step (3) is to support the shelf 2 at the current height using the support 31. When using the support 31 to support the shelf 2, it is only necessary to move the shelf 2 into the cabinet 1 by the length of the support section 2212.

[0038] Through the above adjustment process, it can be seen that the shelf structure of a vertical freezer has the following advantages: When adjusting the height of shelf 2, the following actions are required in sequence: pulling shelf 2 outward from cabinet 1, moving shelf 2 up and down, and pushing shelf 2 inward from cabinet 1. Specifically, when pulling shelf 2 outward from cabinet 1 and pushing shelf 2 inward from cabinet 1, the range of motion of shelf 2 is the length of the support section 2212 in the adjustment hole 221, which is smaller than the range of motion of shelf 2 in the prior art. This eliminates the need to completely pull shelf 2 out of cabinet 1, reducing the risk of frozen products falling from shelf 2 and improving safety during use.

[0039] Furthermore, in the shelf structure of this embodiment, since it is not necessary to completely pull the shelf 2 out of the cabinet 1, it is beneficial to shorten the time for adjusting the height of the shelf 2 and improve the adjustment efficiency.

[0040] Further, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The shelf 2 includes a glass panel 21 and a plastic edging 22 surrounding the glass panel 21. The plastic edging 22 has the aforementioned adjustment holes 221. By using the plastic edging 22 to surround the perimeter of the glass panel 21, the glass panel 21 can be prevented from directly colliding with the inner wall of the cabinet 1, reducing the risk of the glass panel 21 breaking. Furthermore, compared with metal edging, the plastic edging 22 is less prone to corrosion and easier to clean, which helps improve safety and reliability in use.

[0041] And see also Figure 5 and Figure 6The front end of the plastic edging 22 is provided with anti-slip texture 222. The anti-slip texture 222 can prevent the user's fingers from slipping on the shelf 2 when the user pushes and pulls the shelf 2, which helps to improve the stability of the user's operation of the shelf 2.

[0042] Further, see Figure 4 The inner rear wall of cabinet 1 is provided with an upper limit bar 11 and a lower limit bar 12, which are integral with the inner wall of cabinet 1. A slot 13 is provided between the upper limit bar 11 and the lower limit bar 12, and the rear end of the shelf 2 is inserted into the slot 13.

[0043] During the adjustment of shelf 2 height, when shelf 2 is pulled outward, the supporting role of support seat 31 on shelf 2 is released, and shelf 2 also exits from slot 13 at the same time; when shelf 2 is pushed into cabinet 1, shelf 2 is not only supported by support seat 31 again, but the rear end of shelf 2 is also inserted into slot 13 of the corresponding height, so that shelf 2 is supported by both support seat 31 and slot 13, which helps to improve the stability of shelf 2; in addition, the upper groove wall of slot 13 can prevent the rear end of shelf 2 from tilting up, further improving the stability of shelf 2.

[0044] Further, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Support seats 32 are threadedly connected to both the upper and lower ends of the upright 3.

[0045] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the support seat 32 at the lower end of the upright 3 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the cabinet 1, and the support seat 32 at the upper end of the upright 3 abuts against the inner top wall of the cabinet 1, the upright 3 can be assembled with the cabinet 1.

[0046] By screwing the support base 32 at the upper and / or lower end of the upright 3, the upright 3 can be raised or lowered using the support base 32, so that the upright 3 can adapt to cabinets 1 with different internal cavity heights, which is beneficial to improving the flexibility of use.

[0047] Furthermore, by twisting the support base 32 at the upper end of the upright rod 3 downwards, the contact between the support base 32 at the upper end of the upright rod 3 and the inner top wall of the cabinet 1 can be released, allowing the upright rod 3 to be removed from the cabinet 1. When removing the upright rod 3 from the cabinet 1, the upright rod 3 can also pull the shelf 2 out of the cabinet 1, allowing the shelf 2 to be completely removed from the cabinet 1. Then, the upright rod 3 can be moved out of the adjustment hole 221 of the shelf 2, thus separating the upright rod 3 and the shelf 2. This makes it convenient for users to clean the shelf 2 and the upright rod 3 separately, which helps improve the cleaning effect.

[0048] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
