Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more particularly to a refrigeration device. Background Technology

[0002] In refrigeration equipment, in order to improve the utilization rate of internal storage space and the flexibility of classified storage, first and second shelves are usually set up side by side in the storage space, which can divide the storage space into multiple independent storage areas.

[0003] Regarding the connection and fixation of parallel shelves, some related technologies involve setting up a mounting plate between the two shelves, with the mounting plate connected to the shelf by bolts. However, this method requires tools for disassembly or installation, making the operation cumbersome.

[0004] In view of the above, this application is hereby submitted. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application addresses, to at least some extent, one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0006] Therefore, this application aims to provide a refrigeration device that provides a limiting part on a first shelf and a limiting mating part on a second shelf. The limiting part and the limiting mating part are connected and disengaged by moving the limiting part relative to the first shelf along the depth direction of the inner liner, thereby realizing the connection or separation between the first shelf and the second shelf. The installation and disassembly process is simple.

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a refrigeration device, which includes an inner liner, a support assembly, and a shelf assembly. The inner liner defines a storage chamber and a front opening communicating with the storage chamber. The support assembly is disposed on the inner wall of the inner liner and in the storage chamber.

[0008] The shelf assembly includes a first shelf, a second shelf, a limiting part, and a limiting mating part. The first shelf is detachably mounted on the support assembly, and the second shelf is detachably mounted on the support assembly. The first shelf and the second shelf are arranged side by side along the width direction of the inner liner.

[0009] The limiting part is movably connected to the side of the first shelf near the second shelf, and the limiting mating part is fixedly connected to the side of the second shelf near the first shelf.

[0010] The limiting part moves relative to the first shelf to lock or disengage the limiting part and the limiting mating part, thereby realizing the connection or separation of the first shelf and the second shelf.

[0011] In the above technical solution, by setting a limiting engagement part that is fixedly connected to the second shelf and a limiting part that is movably connected to the first shelf, and by moving the limiting part to lock or disengage the limiting part and the limiting engagement part, the operation difficulty of shelf adjustment is simplified.

[0012] In some embodiments, the limiting part moves relative to the first shelf along the depth direction of the inner liner, and the limiting part is provided with a receiving space on one side along its own length direction. The receiving space is provided on the side of the inner liner near the front opening in the depth direction, and the receiving space is configured to have an open part on the side facing the moving direction of the limiting part.

[0013] The limiting and fitting part can move in and out of the receiving space. When the limiting part moves relative to the first shelf, the limiting and fitting part enters the receiving space through the opening, and the limiting part and the limiting and fitting part lock together to form a limiting connection between the first shelf and the second shelf. Alternatively, the limiting and fitting part moves out of the receiving space through the opening, and the limiting part and the limiting and fitting part disengage to separate the first shelf and the second shelf.

[0014] In the above technical solution, when the limiting part moves relative to the first shelf along the depth direction of the inner liner towards the side closer to the front opening, the limiting mating part slides into the receiving space through the open part, so that the first shelf and the second shelf form a limiting connection along the width direction of the inner liner; when the limiting part moves relative to the first shelf along the depth direction of the inner liner away from the front opening, the limiting mating part slides out of the receiving space through the open part, so that the first shelf and the second shelf are released from the limiting connection and separated. By moving the limiting part, the limiting relationship between the limiting part and the limiting mating part is changed, so as to realize the connection or separation of the first shelf and the second shelf, simplifying the operation difficulty of shelf adjustment.

[0015] In some embodiments, the limiting part can move relative to the first shelf along the depth of the inner liner. The limiting part is also formed with a first through hole and a second through hole. The first through hole extends along the depth direction of the inner liner, and the second through hole extends along the depth direction of the inner liner.

[0016] The shelving assembly also includes:

[0017] The first connector passes through the first through hole and is connected to the side of the first shelf near the second shelf. The first through hole can slide relative to the first connector along the depth direction of the inner liner.

[0018] The second connector passes through the second through hole and is connected to the side of the first shelf near the second shelf. The second connector and the first connector are spaced apart along the depth direction of the inner liner. The second through hole can slide relative to the first connector along the depth direction of the inner liner.

[0019] In some embodiments, the shelf assembly further includes a handle connected to a limiting portion, the lower surface of the handle protruding from the lower surface of the first shelf or the second shelf.

[0020] In some embodiments, the limiting portion includes:

[0021] The mounting base has a first through hole and a second through hole;

[0022] The first baffle is located on the side of the fixed seat near the limiting mating part, and the first baffle extends along the depth direction of the inner liner;

[0023] The second baffle is located on the side of the fixed seat near the limiting mating part. The second baffle extends along the depth direction of the inner liner, and the first baffle and the second baffle are spaced apart along the height direction of the inner liner.

[0024] The first baffle, the second baffle, and the fixing seat together form an accommodating space, and the side of the first baffle away from the fixing seat and the side of the second baffle away from the fixing seat together form an open part.

[0025] By setting the first and second baffles to limit the displacement of the limiting mating part in the height direction, and the open part formed by the first and second baffles can be used for the limiting mating part to pass through, the connection and separation of the first shelf and the second shelf can be realized.

[0026] In some embodiments, the side of the first baffle near the second baffle is provided with a first arc-shaped surface, and the side of the second baffle near the first baffle is provided with a second arc-shaped surface.

[0027] The first arc-shaped surface and the second arc-shaped surface are arranged opposite to each other, and the first arc-shaped surface and the second arc-shaped surface are adapted to the outer contour of the limiting mating part.

[0028] Since the first arc-shaped surface and the second arc-shaped surface are adapted to the outer contour of the limiting fitting part, when the limiting fitting part slides into or out of the receiving space along the depth direction of the inner liner, the arc-shaped surface can form a natural guide for the limiting fitting part, avoiding the jamming phenomenon that may be caused by right angle or angular structure, making the relative movement smoother and more fluid.

[0029] In some embodiments, the support component includes:

[0030] The first support rib protrudes from the inner wall of the inner liner and extends along the depth direction of the inner liner. The first shelf is erected on the first support rib along the width direction of the inner liner away from the second shelf.

[0031] The second support rib protrudes from the inner wall of the inner liner and extends along the depth direction of the inner liner. Along the width direction of the inner liner, the second support rib and the first support rib are arranged opposite each other. The second shelf is erected on the second support rib along the width direction of the inner liner away from the first shelf.

[0032] Along the width of the inner liner, the second support rib is positioned opposite to the first support rib, with the first support rib corresponding to the side edge of the first shelf and the second support rib corresponding to the side edge of the second shelf, to accommodate the side-by-side layout of the first and second shelves along the width, ensuring that both shelves receive stable support.

[0033] In some embodiments, the support component further includes:

[0034] The support is located on the inner wall of the inner liner away from the front opening;

[0035] Multiple mounting parts are provided on the bracket, and the multiple mounting parts are spaced apart along the height direction of the inner liner. The first or second shelf can be detachably installed on the corresponding mounting part.

[0036] In the height direction of the inner liner, the upper end face of the mounting part and the upper end face of the corresponding first support rib and the upper end face of the second support rib are on the same horizontal plane.

[0037] Along the height direction of the inner liner, the upper surface of any mounting part is at the same level as the upper surface of the first support rib and the upper surface of the second support rib of the shelf (first shelf or second shelf) supported by the mounting part, so as to ensure that the shelf is erected horizontally.

[0038] In some embodiments, the limiting mating part includes:

[0039] The first part is installed on the side of the second shelf away from the first shelf, and the outer contour of the first part is adapted to the first arc surface and the second arc surface;

[0040] The second part is connected to the side of the first part away from the second shelf. Along the width direction of the inner liner, the cross-section of the second part is larger than that of the first part.

[0041] By adapting the outer contour of the first part to the first arc surface and the second arc surface, it is ensured that the first part can smoothly slide into the receiving space along the depth direction. Furthermore, by setting the cross-section of the second part to be larger than that of the first part, the displacement of the limiting mating part in the depth direction perpendicular to the inner liner is restricted, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the first shelf and the second shelf.

[0042] In some embodiments, the shelf assembly further includes:

[0043] The auxiliary component is located on the side of the first shelf near the second shelf.

[0044] The auxiliary fitting is located on the side of the second shelf near the first shelf, and the auxiliary fitting can move relative to the auxiliary fitting along the depth direction of the inner liner.

[0045] The relative movement constraint between the auxiliary components and the auxiliary mating components along the depth direction of the inner liner can pre-guide the docking position of the first shelf and the second shelf. When the user pushes the limiting part to dock the limiting mating part with the receiving space, precise alignment is not required. The sliding fit between the auxiliary components and the auxiliary mating parts can automatically guide the two shelves to maintain the correct relative position along the depth direction, avoiding the situation where the limiting mating part deviates from the open part of the receiving space due to shelf offset. This greatly reduces the difficulty of operation and improves the convenience of use for users. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0082] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0083] This application provides a refrigeration device, which may include refrigerators, freezers, wine cabinets, commercial refrigerated / frozen display cases, etc. Based on the teachings of this application, those skilled in the art can adapt the technical solutions of this application to other refrigeration devices, and all such applications should be included within the protection scope of this application.

[0084] The refrigeration equipment provided in this application embodiment can have various implementation methods, such as a double-door refrigeration equipment, a single-door refrigeration equipment, etc. Of course, the installation and disassembly scheme of the shelf assembly in this application embodiment can also be extended to three-door, multi-door, and other refrigeration equipment.

[0085] This application provides a refrigeration device including a housing. The housing includes an outer shell defining a receiving cavity, an inner liner disposed within the receiving cavity, and an insulation layer disposed between the inner liner and the outer shell to insulate the storage chamber. The inner liner defines at least one storage chamber.

[0086] The inner liner is also designed with a front opening that communicates with the storage compartment, for placing food into or removing food from the storage compartment.

[0087] The storage compartment can be set as one, and can be set as a refrigerator compartment or a freezer compartment.

[0088] The storage room can be configured as two, defined as a first storage room and a second storage room. The first storage room is a refrigerated room, and it is equipped with at least one shelf, dividing the first storage room into multiple refrigerated storage spaces. A refrigerated drawer is provided in at least one refrigerated storage space for easy access to refrigerated items by the user.

[0089] The second storage compartment is configured as a freezer compartment, and at least one shelf is provided in the second storage compartment to divide the second storage compartment into multiple freezer storage spaces. A freezer drawer is provided in at least one freezer storage space for storing frozen items for easy access by the user.

[0090] For example, the second storage chamber is located below the first storage chamber.

[0091] In addition, there are no restrictions on the shape and size of the box; the box can be designed as a cuboid.

[0092] In addition, the modes of refrigeration equipment to achieve refrigeration include, but are not limited to, direct cooling refrigeration, air cooling refrigeration, and hybrid cooling (direct cooling and air cooling). This embodiment mainly uses air cooling refrigeration as an example. Optionally, the refrigeration equipment is equipped with a refrigeration system and an air duct system. The refrigeration system is used to generate cold air, and the air duct system can transport the cold air generated by the refrigeration system to the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment of the refrigeration equipment to achieve the purpose of refrigeration in the refrigerator compartment and freezing in the freezer compartment.

[0093] A refrigeration system includes a compressor, condenser, throttling device, evaporator, and fan. The compressor, condenser, throttling device, and evaporator are connected by piping to form a refrigerant circulation loop. The compressor and throttling device are generally located at the bottom of the refrigeration equipment. The refrigeration system executes the refrigeration cycle of the refrigeration equipment by using the compressor, condenser, throttling device, and evaporator. The refrigeration cycle involves a series of processes, including compression, condensation, throttling cooling, and evaporation, to cool the air inside the refrigeration equipment.

[0094] The refrigeration equipment includes a door that can be connected to a cabinet, allowing the storage compartment to be opened or closed by rotating the door. In some embodiments, the door and the cabinet are connected by a hinge.

[0095] To improve the utilization rate of internal storage space and the flexibility of categorized storage, a first and second shelf are usually set up side by side in the storage space. The storage area of ​​the storage room can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the position between the shelves. Currently, some refrigeration equipment has eliminated the shelf support on the inner wall of the inner liner, and instead only has a support in the middle of the inner liner. The side closer to the inner liner side wall only rests on the support rib without any restraint. This is prone to problems such as uneven gaps between the two shelves, shelves not being on the same plane, and shelves warping due to design and manufacturing errors.

[0096] In related technologies, connectors are used to connect the first and second shelves with screws, but this method is cumbersome to disassemble and inconvenient for adjusting the storage area.

[0097] Based on the above, this application proposes a refrigeration device. The refrigeration device provides a limiting part on the first shelf and a limiting mating part on the second shelf. The limiting part and the limiting mating part are connected and disengaged by moving the limiting part relative to the first shelf along the depth direction of the inner liner, thereby realizing the connection or separation between the first shelf and the second shelf. The installation and disassembly process is simple.

[0098] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the X-axis represents the width of the inner liner, the Y-axis represents the depth of the inner liner, and the Z-axis represents the height of the inner liner.

[0099] Reference Figure 1As shown, the refrigeration equipment includes a shelf assembly, which is placed in the inner liner 1. The shelf assembly includes a first shelf 21 and a second shelf 22, which are arranged side by side along the width direction of the inner liner 1.

[0100] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the refrigeration equipment includes a support assembly. The support assembly is located on the inner wall of the inner liner 1 and is situated within the storage chamber.

[0101] In some embodiments, the support assembly also includes a bracket 33 disposed on the inner wall of the inner liner 1 away from the front opening 11.

[0102] The support assembly also includes multiple mounting parts 331, which are provided on the bracket 33. The multiple mounting parts 331 are spaced apart along the height direction of the inner liner 1. The first shelf 21 or the second shelf 22 is detachably mounted on the corresponding mounting part 331.

[0103] In some implementations, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly includes a first support rib 31, which protrudes from the inner wall of the inner liner 1 and extends along the depth direction of the inner liner 1. Figure 2 As shown, the first support rib 31 can be set in multiples and spaced apart along the height direction of the inner liner 1.

[0104] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the support assembly includes a second support rib 32, which protrudes from the inner wall of the inner liner 1 and extends along the depth direction of the inner liner 1. Along the width direction of the inner liner 1, the second support rib 32 and the first support rib 31 are arranged opposite each other. Figure 3 As shown, multiple second support ribs 32 can be provided, spaced apart along the height direction of the inner liner 1. The first support ribs 31 and the second support ribs 32 are provided in pairs, working together to support the shelf assembly.

[0105] Along the width direction of the inner liner 1, the second support rib 32 is arranged opposite to the first support rib 31, that is, the first support rib 31 corresponds to the side edge position of the first shelf 21, and the second support rib 32 corresponds to the side edge position of the second shelf 22, so as to adapt to the side-by-side layout of the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 along the width direction of the inner liner 1, and ensure that the two shelves are stably supported respectively.

[0106] In the height direction of the inner liner 1, the upper end face of the mounting part 331 and the upper end face of the corresponding first support rib 31 and the upper end face of the second support rib 32 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0107] Along the height direction of the inner liner 1, the upper surface of any mounting part 331 is at the same level as the upper surface of the first support rib 31 and the upper surface of the second support rib 32 of the shelf (first shelf 21 or second shelf 22) supported by the mounting part 331, so as to ensure that the shelf is erected horizontally.

[0108] Reference Figure 1 As shown, multiple shelving assemblies can be configured, and these shelving assemblies can be detachably installed on different support assemblies.

[0109] Let's take a shelf assembly as an example for illustration. (Refer to...) Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the first shelf 21 is detachably mounted on the first support rib 31, and the second shelf 22 is detachably mounted on the second support rib 32. The partitioning of the storage room can be adjusted by changing the positions of the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22.

[0110] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 are respectively mounted on the bracket 33. The bracket 33, the first support rib 31, and the second support rib 32 together support the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22, improving the stability of the installation of the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22.

[0111] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the shelf assembly includes a limiting part 23. The limiting part 23 is disposed on the side of the first shelf 21 near the second shelf 22. The limiting part 23 is movably connected to the side of the first shelf 21 near the second shelf 22. (Refer to...) Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the shelf assembly includes a limiting engagement part 24, which is disposed on the side of the second shelf 22 near the first shelf 21. The limiting engagement part 24 is fixedly connected to the side of the second shelf 22 near the first shelf 21.

[0112] The limiting part 23 moves relative to the first shelf 21 so that the limiting part 23 and the limiting engagement part 24 are locked or disengaged, thereby realizing the connection or separation of the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22.

[0113] In some implementations, refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the limiting part 23 moves relative to the first shelf 21. A receiving space 231 is provided on one side of the limiting part 23 along its own length direction. The receiving space 231 is constructed to have an open part 232 facing the side along the moving direction of the limiting part 23. The limiting fitting part 24 can move in and out of the receiving space.

[0114] When the limiting part 23 moves relative to the first shelf 21, the limiting mating part 24 enters the receiving space 231 through the opening part 232, and the limiting part 23 and the limiting mating part 24 lock together, so that the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 form a limiting connection. Alternatively, the limiting mating part 24 moves out of the receiving space 231 through the opening part 232, and the limiting part 23 and the limiting mating part 24 disengage, so that the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 separate.

[0115] It can be understood that the limiting part 23 can move relative to the first shelf 21 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1, the limiting part 23 can also move relative to the first shelf 21 along the width direction of the inner liner 1, and the limiting part 23 can also move relative to the first shelf 21 along the height direction of the inner liner 1. This allows the limiting part 23 to lock or disengage from the limiting mating part 24.

[0116] In this embodiment, the direction of movement of the limiting part 23 is not limited. The limiting part 23 and the limiting mating part 24 can be locked or disengaged simply by moving the limiting part 23.

[0117] The following describes the technical solution in this application embodiment by taking the movement of the limiting part 23 relative to the first shelf 21 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1 as an example.

[0118] The limiting fitting part 24 can move in and out of the receiving space 231. When the limiting part 23 moves along the depth direction of the inner liner 1, the limiting fitting part 24 enters the receiving space 231 through the opening part 232, so that the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 form a limiting connection, or the limiting fitting part 24 moves out of the receiving space 231 through the opening part 232, so that the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 are separated.

[0119] In the above technical solution, when the limiting part 23 moves relative to the first shelf 21 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1 towards the side closer to the front opening 11, the limiting mating part 24 slides into the receiving space 231 through the opening part 232, so that the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 form a limiting connection along the width direction of the inner liner 1.

[0120] When the limiting part 23 moves relative to the first shelf 21 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1 away from the front opening 11, the limiting mating part 24 slides out of the receiving space 231 through the opening part 232, causing the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 to be released from the limiting connection and separated. By moving the limiting part 23, the limiting relationship between the limiting part 23 and the limiting mating part 24 is changed, so as to realize the connection or separation of the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22, simplifying the operation difficulty of shelf adjustment.

[0121] Meanwhile, by setting the limiting part 23 and the limiting mating part 24, the possibility of the rear end of the shelf tilting or the overall shaking of the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 can be reduced, thereby improving the installation stability of the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22.

[0122] By providing the limiting part 23 and the limiting mating part 24, when taller items need to be stored, the limiting mating part 24 can be detached from the receiving space 231 of the limiting part 23, and the first shelf 21 or the second shelf 22 can be disassembled, thereby increasing the height space between the shelves. When taller items do not need to be stored, the limiting mating part 24 can be placed in the receiving space 231 of the limiting part 23, and the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 form a complete shelf plane, so as to make full use of the shelf area to store more items.

[0123] In some embodiments, the limiting portion 23 is provided with a receiving space 231 on the side away from the front opening 11 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1, and the receiving space 231 is configured to have an opening 232 facing away from the front opening 11.

[0124] The limiting part 23 moves relative to the first shelf 21 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1. The limiting fitting part 24 can move through the opening part 232 into the receiving space 231.

[0125] When the limiting part 23 moves along the depth direction of the inner liner 1, refer to Figure 17 , Figure 18 As shown, the limiting fitting part 24 enters the receiving space 231 through the opening part 232 so that the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 form a limiting connection.

[0126] When the limiting part 23 moves along the depth direction of the inner liner 1, refer to Figure 19 As shown, the limiting fitting part 24 moves out of the receiving space 231 through the opening part 232, so that the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 are separated.

[0127] In the above technical solution, when the limiting part 23 moves away from the front opening 11 relative to the first shelf 21 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1, the limiting mating part 24 slides into the receiving space 231 through the opening part 232, so that the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 form a limiting connection along the width direction of the inner liner 1.

[0128] When the limiting part 23 moves relative to the first shelf 21 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1 towards the side closer to the front opening 11, the limiting mating part 24 slides out of the receiving space 231 through the opening part 232, so that the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 are released from the limiting connection and separated.

[0129] By moving the limiting part 23, the limiting relationship between the limiting part 23 and the limiting mating part 24 is changed, so as to realize the connection or disconnection of the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22, which simplifies the operation difficulty of shelf adjustment.

[0130] In some implementations, refer to Figure 9 As shown, the limiting part 23 also has a first through hole 233 and a second through hole 234. The first through hole 233 extends along the depth direction of the inner liner 1, and the second through hole 234 extends along the depth direction of the inner liner 1.

[0131] The shelf assembly also includes a first connector 25, which passes through a first through hole 233 and is connected to the side of the first shelf 21 near the second shelf 22. The first through hole 233 is slidable relative to the first connector 25 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1.

[0132] Reference Figure 12 As shown in the figure, the first connector 25 is located near the front opening 11 of the first through hole 233, and at this time, the limiting part 23 and the limiting mating part 24 are not connected. Figure 12 The relative positions of the first through hole 233 and the first connector 25 are as follows: Figure 9 The first through hole 233 and the first connector 25 are moved relative to each other. Specifically, the first through hole 233 can be moved relative to the first connector 25 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1 to the side away from the front opening 11.

[0133] The shelf assembly also includes a second connector 26, which passes through the second through hole 234 and is connected to the side of the first shelf 21 near the second shelf 22. The second connector 26 and the first connector 25 are spaced apart along the depth direction of the inner liner 1, and the second through hole 234 can slide relative to the first connector 25 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1.

[0134] The rotation or offset of the limiting part 23 in the direction perpendicular to the depth can be restricted by the cooperation of a single through hole and a connector. By setting the first through hole 233 and the second through hole 234, a two-point interval cooperation is achieved, which strengthens the constraint on the movement trajectory of the limiting part 23 and ensures that the limiting part 23 can only move along the depth direction of the inner liner 1 without deviation, jamming or lateral shaking.

[0135] The constraint provided by the first through hole 233, the first connecting part, the second through hole 234, and the second connecting part ensures the precise docking of the limiting part 23 and the limiting mating part 24. When the limiting part 23 moves, the open part 232 of the accommodating space 231 can always be aligned with the limiting mating part 24, avoiding problems such as inability to enter or forced friction caused by the offset of the limiting part 23, thus improving the reliability of the shelf connection or separation action.

[0136] The first connector 25 and the second connector 26 are spaced apart along the depth direction, and together they bear the responsibility for the installation and force transmission of the limiting part 23. When the limiting part 23 slides relative to the first shelf 21, the contact stress between the through hole and the connector is distributed by the two spaced points, avoiding wear or deformation of a single connector due to concentrated force.

[0137] When the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 are connected by the limiting part 23 and the limiting mating part 24, the lateral force between the two shelves can be distributed to the first shelf 21 through the two connecting parts, reducing the load on a single connection point and lowering the possibility of loosening or breaking of the connecting parts. Compared with a single-point connection structure, this design significantly improves the structural strength of the limiting part 23 and extends its service life, making it particularly suitable for scenarios where refrigeration equipment is used frequently for a long time.

[0138] In some embodiments, the shelf assembly further includes a handle 27 connected to a limiting portion 23, and the lower surface of the handle 27 protrudes from the lower surface of the first shelf 21 or the second shelf 22.

[0139] In some embodiments, the shelf assembly may not have a handle 27, and the lower surface of the limiting part 23 may protrude from the lower surface of the first shelf 21 or the second shelf 22. Other structures may be provided to facilitate the user's operation of adjusting the position of the limiting part 23.

[0140] Reference Figure 9 As shown, the handle 27 is configured as a rectangular structure to facilitate the movement of the limiting part 23, thereby enabling the connection and disconnection between the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22. It is understood that the handle 27 can also be configured as other operable shapes; the technical solution of this application does not limit the shape of the handle 27.

[0141] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 9 As shown, the limiting part 23 includes a fixing base 235, which has a first through hole 233 and a second through hole 234.

[0142] The limiting part 23 includes a first baffle 236, which is provided on the side of the fixed seat 235 near the limiting mating part 24. The first baffle 236 extends along the depth direction of the inner liner 1.

[0143] The limiting part 23 includes a second baffle 237, which is provided on the side of the fixed base 235 near the limiting mating part 24. The second baffle 237 extends along the depth direction of the inner liner 1, and the first baffle 236 and the second baffle 237 are spaced apart along the height direction of the inner liner 1.

[0144] The first baffle 236, the second baffle 237, and the fixed seat 235 together form the receiving space 231. The side of the first baffle 236 away from the fixed seat 235 and the side of the second baffle 237 away from the fixed seat 235 together form the opening 232. The limiting fitting part 24 can slide into or out of the receiving space 231 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1 through the opening 232.

[0145] By setting the first baffle 236 and the second baffle 237 to limit the displacement of the limiting mating part 24 in the height direction, and the open part 232 formed by the first baffle 236 and the second baffle 237 can be used for the limiting mating part 24 to pass through, the connection and disconnection of the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 can be realized.

[0146] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 19 As shown, the side of the first baffle 236 near the second baffle 237 is provided with a first arc-shaped surface 2361, and the side of the second baffle 237 near the first baffle 236 is provided with a second arc-shaped surface 2371.

[0147] The first arc-shaped surface 2361 and the second arc-shaped surface 2371 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first arc-shaped surface 2361 and the second arc-shaped surface 2371 are adapted to the outer contour of the limiting mating part 24.

[0148] Since the first arc surface 2361 and the second arc surface 2371 are adapted to the outer contour of the limiting fitting part 24, when the limiting fitting part 24 slides into or out of the receiving space 231 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1, the arc surface can form a natural guide for the limiting fitting part 24, avoiding the jamming phenomenon that may be caused by right angle or angular structure, making the relative movement smoother and more fluid.

[0149] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the limiting part 24 is configured as a roller with a circular cross-section, and the roller and the limiting part 23 cooperate.

[0150] The limiting and fitting part 24 includes a first part 241, which is installed on the side of the second shelf 22 away from the first shelf 21. The outer contour of the first part 241 is adapted to the first arc surface 2361 and the second arc surface 2371.

[0151] The limiting and fitting part 24 includes a second part 242, which is connected to the side of the first part 241 away from the second shelf 22. Along the width direction of the inner liner 1, the cross-section of the second part 242 is larger than the cross-section of the first part 241.

[0152] By adapting the outer contour of the first part 241 to the first arc surface 2361 and the second arc surface 2371, it is ensured that the first part 241 can smoothly slide into the receiving space 231 along the depth direction. Furthermore, by setting the cross-section of the second part 242 to be larger than the cross-section of the first part 241, the displacement of the limiting fitting part 24 in the depth direction perpendicular to the inner liner 1 is restricted, thereby enhancing the stability of the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 after connection.

[0153] Reference Figure 19 As shown, the receiving space 231 of the limiting part 23 is configured as a space recessed from near the first shelf 21 to away from the first shelf 21. (Refer to...) Figure 17 , Figure 18 As shown, when the limiting mating part 24 is located in the receiving space 231, the second part 242 is located in the receiving space, and the first part 241 is in contact with the first baffle 236 and the second baffle 237 to improve the assembly stability of the first part 241 and the second part 242 with the limiting part 23.

[0154] Reference Figure 13 , Figure 14 As shown, the limiting fitting part 24 is placed in the limiting part 23 at this time, and the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 are connected. At this time, the first arc-shaped surface 2361, the second arc-shaped surface 2371 and the first part 241 cooperate to improve the stability of the connection between the limiting fitting part 24 and the limiting part 23. When it is necessary to disassemble the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22, the limiting part 23 moves along the depth direction of the inner liner 1 to disengage the limiting fitting part 24 from the receiving space 231, as shown in the figure. Figure 15 , Figure 16 As shown, the limiting engagement part 24 disengages from the limiting part 23.

[0155] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the shelf assembly also includes a mounting mating part 211, which is fitted together with the mounting part 331. The mounting mating part 211 includes...

[0156] The mounting portion 331 is configured as a through hole. The bracket 33 also includes an intermediate member 332, which is disposed on the inner edge of the mounting portion 331 and in the middle of the lower edge of the mounting portion 331, so as to divide the mounting portion 331 into two parts.

[0157] Reference Figure 8 As shown, the first shelf 21 includes a shelf frame 213 and a shelf body 214. The shelf frame 213 is installed on the periphery of the shelf body 214. The shelf body 214 serves as the main support component, and the shelf frame 213 is used to connect with other components. For example, the shelf frame 213 is installed on the first support rib 31.

[0158] The first shelf 21 also includes a mounting member 215, which is disposed on one side of the shelf frame 213 along the width direction of the inner liner 1. (See reference...) Figure 8 As shown, the mounting member 215 extends along the depth direction of the inner liner 1 and is located on the side close to the second shelf 22 along the width direction of the inner liner 1. Thus, the first shelf 21 can have two supports: the first support rib 31 and the bracket 33, which improves the stability of the installation of the first shelf 21.

[0159] Reference Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, the intermediate component 332 includes a third part 2111 and a fourth part 2112. The third part 2111 is connected to the mounting component, and the fourth part 2112 is connected to the third part 2111. A limiting space is formed between the third part 2111 and the fourth part 2112. The fourth part 2112 passes through the mounting part 331, and the limiting space is engaged with the edge of the mounting part 331 on the bracket 33. The end face of the third part 2111 near the fourth part 2112 abuts against the bracket 33 to achieve stable installation of the first layer 21 and the bracket 33.

[0160] The structure of the shelf is described above using the first shelf 21 as an example. The structure of the second shelf 22 is symmetrical to that of the first shelf 21 to achieve stable installation of the second shelf 22 and the support 33. The structure of the second shelf 22 will not be described in detail here.

[0161] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the shelf assembly also includes an auxiliary component 212, which is disposed on the side of the first shelf 21 near the second shelf 22. The auxiliary component 212 is disposed on the side near the front opening 11.

[0162] The shelf assembly also includes an auxiliary mating part 222, which is located on the side of the second shelf 22 near the first shelf 21. The auxiliary part 212 can move relative to the auxiliary mating part 222 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1.

[0163] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary fitting 222 includes two parts spaced apart along the height direction of the inner liner 1. The auxiliary part 212 can be slidably installed between the two auxiliary fittings 222. The distance between the two auxiliary fittings 222 is the same as the height of the auxiliary part 212, so as to limit the auxiliary part 212.

[0164] The relative movement constraint of auxiliary component 212 and auxiliary mating component 222 along the depth direction of the inner liner 1 can pre-guide the docking position of the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22. When the user pushes the limiting part 23 to dock the limiting mating part 24 with the accommodating space 231, precise alignment is not required. The sliding engagement of auxiliary component 212 and auxiliary mating component 222 can automatically guide the two shelves to maintain the correct relative position along the depth direction, avoiding the situation where the limiting mating part 24 deviates from the opening 232 of the accommodating space 231 due to shelf offset, greatly reducing the difficulty of operation and improving the convenience of user use.

[0165] The refrigeration device proposed in this embodiment includes an inner liner 1, a support assembly, and a shelf assembly. The support assembly is disposed on the inner wall of the inner liner 1. The shelf assembly includes a first shelf 21, a second shelf 22, a limiting part 23, and a limiting mating part 24. The first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 are detachably mounted on the support assembly. The limiting part 23 is disposed on the side of the first shelf 21 near the second shelf 22, and the limiting mating part 24 is disposed on the side of the second shelf 22 near the first shelf 21. The limiting part 23 extends along the depth direction of the inner liner 1 towards the front opening 11. A receiving space 231 is provided on the side, and the receiving space 231 is constructed to have an open portion 232 facing the front opening 11. The limiting fitting portion 24 can move in and out of the receiving space 231. When the limiting portion 23 moves along the depth direction of the inner liner 1, the limiting fitting portion 24 enters the receiving space 231 through the open portion 232 to form a limiting connection between the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22, or the limiting fitting portion 24 moves out of the receiving space 231 through the open portion 232 to separate the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22, which simplifies the operation difficulty of shelf adjustment.

[0166] By connecting the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 into a whole, the two shelves are kept on the same plane and the gap between them is uniform, which reduces the back end of the shelf from tilting up and reduces the overall shaking of the shelf.

[0167] The installation and disassembly between the first shelf 21 and the second shelf 22 can be achieved simply by moving the position of the limiting part 23. The assembly is simple and convenient, and the maintenance is convenient. If subsequent maintenance or optimization is required, the limiting part 23 and the limiting mating part 24 can be replaced.

[0168] The shelf assembly of the refrigeration equipment proposed in this application has high assembly reliability and is not affected by the overall foaming deformation of the refrigeration equipment, thus ensuring the assembly effect of the shelf assembly.
