[0002] As a core load-bearing component of the storage area of a refrigerator, the fixing reliability and stability of a refrigerator glass shelf are directly related to the user's use safety and experience. In the prior art, there is generally room for improvement in the rear fixing mode of the glass shelf.

[0003] The rear decorative strip of a traditional glass shelf is mostly fastened by a simple buckle structure, and the simple buckle structure has inherent defects: first, the contact area between the buckle and the glass is limited, and the holding force is insufficient, which causes the shelf to easily loosen or even jump out of the positioning groove of the inner liner when the shelf is frequently pulled or bears heavy objects, resulting in potential safety hazards; second, the structural strength of such buckles is often insufficient. When subjected to a large external force (such as accidental impact or uneven stress on the shelf), the root is prone to fracture, leading to the failure of the entire fixing structure.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a new fixing scheme for glass shelf assemblies, which can simultaneously achieve extremely high fixing reliability, excellent structural strength, simplified production process and competitive manufacturing cost, so as to completely solve the problems of unstable fixation, easy falling off and high manufacturing cost in the prior art.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, providing a refrigerator glass shelf assembly with a rear corner bezel. This assembly is mainly used in refrigerators for holding items. This embodiment significantly improves the reliability of fixation by optimizing the rear trim limiting structure in the prior art into a rear corner bezel, as detailed below:

[0039] The glass shelf assembly mainly includes a front trim strip 200, glass 300, and rear corner protectors 100;

[0040] The front trim strip 200 is arranged on the front edge of the glass 300 (i.e., the side facing the user when in use), mainly for beautifying the edge of the shelf and playing a preliminary fixing role; specifically, the front trim strip 200 has a U-shaped cross-section with its opening facing the glass 300, and the two side walls of the front trim strip 200 are made of a flexible material with a certain degree of elasticity, and it has a certain tilt angle in its natural state, so that it can be clamped on the upper and lower surfaces of the glass 300 according to its own elastic clamping force; this tilted clamping method can provide a certain pre-tightening force, so that the front trim strip 200 can stably clamp the glass 300.

[0041] The rear wrapping corner 100 is arranged at a corner on the rear side of the glass 300 (that is, the side close to the refrigerator liner when in use); each glass shelf is usually symmetrically provided with two rear wrapping corners 100 at two corners at the rear part thereof. The main function of the rear wrapping corner 100 is to cooperate with a clamping slot on the refrigerator liner to reliably fix the entire glass shelf assembly 100 in the refrigerator.

[0042] The rear wrapping corner 100 further comprises a main body unit 101 and a clamping seat 102;

[0043] The cross-section of the main body unit 101 is generally of an L-shaped structure, which adapts to the function of wrapping the right-angled corner of the glass 300; in order to enhance safety and avoid stress concentration, the corners of the main body unit 101 are designed as rounded corner structures; a glass clamping slot 101a is opened on the main body unit 101, the shape of the glass clamping slot 101a matches the corner profile of the glass 300, so that the corner of the glass 300 can be smoothly inserted and accommodated therein;

[0044] The clamping seat 102 is arranged at the bottom of the main body unit 101, and the cross-section thereof is of a Japanese-character-shaped structure, so that the rear wrapping corner 100 at the rear part of the glass 300 can be stably anchored in the refrigerator liner through the Japanese-character-shaped clamping seat 102; the Japanese-character-shaped structure naturally forms a weight-reducing groove 102a on the wall surface of the clamping seat 102, and the function of the weight-reducing groove 102a is to save materials and reduce the overall weight on the premise of ensuring structural strength; the clamping seat 102 is used for being inserted into a pre-opened matching clamping slot on the refrigerator liner to realize tight connection.

[0045] During assembly, firstly, the front trim strip 200 is buckled from the front side of the glass 300, and the U-shaped structure of the front trim strip can primarily clamp the glass; then, the two rear wrapping corners 100 are respectively installed from the two corners at the rear part of the glass 300, so that the corners of the glass 300 are embedded into the glass clamping slots 101a of the rear wrapping corners 100; finally, the assembled whole glass shelf assembly 100 is aligned with and inserted into the clamping slot of the refrigerator liner through the clamping seat 102 at the rear part thereof, so as to prevent the glass 300 from generating large displacement.

[0046] In this process, the L-shaped main body unit 101 of the rear wrapping corner 100 wraps and protects the fragile corners of the glass 300, and a large-area surface contact is formed between the clamping seat 102 with the Japanese-character-shaped cross-section and the clamping slot of the liner, providing stable and reliable support; this design enables the acting force to be uniformly transmitted to the liner through the rear wrapping corners 100 when the shelf bears a load or is pulled out, effectively preventing the rear wrapping corners 100 at the rear part of the shelf from warping or falling off due to uneven stress, and solves the problems of unstable fixation and easy falling off of the original rear trim strip in the prior art.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] Reference Figures 5-7 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that, based on the first embodiment, this embodiment further adds several optimized features, making the fixing of the glass shelf assembly 100 more reliable, the structure more robust, and the manufacturing process more efficient.

[0049] In this embodiment, the rear corner 100 is preferably made of ABS plastic. ABS material has excellent strength, toughness and wear resistance, which can ensure that the rear corner 100 is not easily damaged or deformed during repeated insertion and removal and long-term use. At the same time, it has a low cost and meets the needs of mass production.

[0050] To ensure the balance of forces on the shelf, two sets of rear corner brackets 100 are provided. These two sets of rear corner brackets 100 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right with the central axis of the glass 300 as the reference. This symmetrical layout allows the two support points at the rear of the shelf to evenly distribute the load, ensuring the balance of the support and improving the stability of the shelf.

[0051] To further enhance the connection between the rear corner 100 and the glass 300, the glass slot 101a and the corner of the glass 300 are tightly fitted; that is, the inner wall size of the glass slot 101a is slightly smaller than or equal to the size of the corner of the glass 300, so that the glass 300 can generate a certain amount of compression and friction after insertion, thus forming a tight fit and making it difficult to loosen.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a reinforcing skirt 102b is arranged on the contact surface between the card holder 102 and the main body unit 101; the cross-section of the reinforcing skirt 102b is an arc-shaped structure, which connects the top of the card holder 102 and the side of the main body unit 101; this design significantly enhances the structural strength of the connection between the card holder 102 and the main body unit 101, preventing the part from breaking when subjected to large forces (such as tensile forces exceeding 100N); preferably, the reinforcing skirt 102b is integrally injection molded with other parts of the rear corner 100, which not only simplifies the production process, but also further improves the overall strength of the connection.

[0053] Regarding the weight reduction design, at least two weight reduction grooves 102a are provided on the card holder 102; these weight reduction grooves 102a are distributed along the length direction of the card holder 102 (i.e. the direction of insertion into the refrigerator liner), which reduces weight and saves materials to the maximum extent while maintaining the overall structural rigidity of the card holder 102 and eliminating the risk of breakage at the root of the rear corner 100.
