Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator accessories and lighting technology, specifically to a beverage shelf with integrated lighting function for displaying refrigerators. Background Technology

[0002] In convenience stores, supermarkets, and other retail establishments, upright display refrigerators with glass doors are the primary equipment for refrigerating and displaying bottled and canned beverages. To improve the visibility and appeal of goods at night or in dimly lit environments, these refrigerators typically have internal lighting systems. However, traditional lighting fixtures are often installed on the side walls or top of the inner liner, with light shining from top to bottom or side to side. This light is easily blocked by beverages in front or on the upper shelves, resulting in insufficient lighting for goods deep within the shelves, creating large areas of shadow and severely impacting the overall display effect. Furthermore, some modifications that add light strips to the shelves require power cords to be run through the door seams or through holes drilled in the refrigerator body, severely compromising the refrigerator's sealing and insulation performance, leading to increased energy consumption and safety hazards.
