Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of refrigerators with installable shelves, specifically relating to a commercial refrigerator with adjustable height shelves. Background Technology

[0002] In the retail industry (such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and catering), horizontal commercial freezers are key equipment for storing and displaying frozen and refrigerated foods. To maximize the utilization of limited space, businesses usually seek out all available vertical and idle space for merchandise display or item placement.

[0003] Because the top of the freezer is relatively flat, the space above it is often wasted and lacks visual appeal, failing to clearly showcase the goods for sale. This results in a limited variety of products and a lack of customer attention. In practice, staff often place non-refrigerated items on top of the freezer (such as promotional signs, price tags, cleaning tools, etc.), leading to the following problems: items become cluttered and easily slip and get damaged; space utilization is inefficient and management is inconvenient; it affects the freezer's heat dissipation and door operation; and it occupies extra space.

[0004] Currently, there is a relative lack of specialized and standardized solutions for utilizing the space on top of freezers. Commonly used shelves on the market are usually floor-standing, taking up a large volume, and are not suitable for the special environment and structural requirements of the top of freezers. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of existing technologies, the inventors have developed a commercial freezer with adjustable height shelves through long-term practical research. This design maximizes the use of the space above the freezer, increases the variety of goods, attracts customers, and ensures the cleanliness of the goods.

[0006] This utility model discloses a commercial refrigerated display case with an adjustable-height shelf, comprising a display case body and a shelf body disposed on top of the display case body. The shelf body includes a rear frame, two side frames fixed to both sides of the rear frame, and several shelves fixed to the rear frame and arranged in layers. Two support rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the rear frame. Each side frame has two connecting holes A on one side tube connecting to the rear frame. The rear frame has four connecting holes B at corresponding locations where it connects to the two side frames. The corresponding connecting holes A and B are fixed together by four sets of fasteners. Several support slots are evenly distributed from top to bottom on the rear side of the shelf for engaging with the corresponding slots on the rear frame. A connecting plate is disposed on the top of the shelf, and a fixing plate is fixed to the front of the connecting plate. Price tags are inserted into the gap between the front of the connecting plate and the fixing plate.

[0007] Furthermore, both the rear frame and the side frame are made of square tubing welded together with a mesh.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the support rods has two shelf fixing holes at its bottom, and the back of the freezer body has a fixing hole at the corresponding position of the two support rods.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of both tubes on the side frame are sealed with square tube plugs.

[0010] Furthermore, a fixing plate connection hole is provided on the front side of the shelf, and the fixing plate and the shelf are riveted and fixed using a rivet gun.

[0011] Furthermore, several connection holes are provided on the front side plate of the connecting plate for fixing the fixing plate. The center of the fixing plate is provided with a mounting hole corresponding to the connection hole, and the mounting hole is fixedly connected to the connection hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing plate is a disc-shaped stainless steel fastener, the mounting hole is located at the bottom of the fixing plate and is recessed inward, the bottom of the price strip is provided with a slot, the middle section of the price strip above the slot is provided with a downward-sloping hook, the slot is in close contact with the first contact surface, and the hook is engaged between the second contact surface and the connecting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, several rubber pads are also attached to both sides of the shelf.

[0014] Furthermore, a power cord lead hole is also provided next to the fixing hole on the back of the freezer body.

[0015] Furthermore, LED light strips are attached to the frame of the shelf body, and a display panel is also provided at the top of the rear frame.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] Combining traditional floor-standing shelves with commercial refrigerated display cases, this design utilizes adjustable-height and easily removable shelf panels. This maximizes the use of space above the freezer and increases the variety of goods that can be displayed. For example, add-on advertising boards and LED light strips can enhance the freezer's appeal to customers and make it more convenient for businesses to use. The integrated structure facilitates installation and ensures the neatness of the goods. The shelves are installed directly on the freezer, requiring minimal modification to the freezer body and not affecting its refrigeration performance. It also reduces the amount of floor space occupied. Furthermore, the freezer body and shelves are detachably connected, and the shelves themselves are easy to disassemble, taking up little space before and after disassembly, thus increasing the versatility of the components.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] 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 a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] See Figures 1-10This utility model proposes a commercial freezer with adjustable height shelves. By combining traditional floor-standing shelves with commercial freezer products, it solves the problems of low space utilization and lack of attractiveness above the freezer. Specifically, the commercial freezer includes a freezer body 8 and a shelf body 1 set on top of the freezer body 8. The shelf body 1 includes a rear frame 2, two side frames 3 fixed on both sides of the rear frame 2, and several shelves 4 fixed on the rear frame 2 and arranged in layers.

[0033] The rear frame 2 is made of square tube and mesh welded together. Two support rods 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the rear frame 2. Two shelf fixing holes are opened at the bottom of each support rod 13. Four fixing holes 9 are opened on the back of the freezer body 8 corresponding to the two support rods 13. Rivet nuts are added inside the fixing holes 9. The shelf fixing holes and rivet nuts are fixed together by four sets of screws, thereby fixing the shelf body 1 to the freezer body 8.

[0034] The side frame 3 is also made of square tubes and mesh welded together. Each side frame 3 has two connecting holes A 31 on the square tube on the side that connects to the rear frame 2. The rear frame 2 has four connecting holes B 21 at the corresponding positions where it connects to the two side frames 3. The corresponding connecting holes A 31 and connecting holes B 21 are fixed together by four sets of fasteners 12, thereby fixing the side frame 3 to the rear frame 2. In this embodiment, the fasteners 12 are bolts.

[0035] The bottom of the square tubes on both sides of the side frame 3 is sealed with square tube plugs 6 to prevent the bottom of the side frame 3 from rubbing against the top of the freezer body 8, thus separating the side frame from the freezer and protecting the freezer from wear and scratches.

[0036] A connecting plate 41 is provided at the top of the shelf 4. In this embodiment, the connecting plate 41 and the other parts of the shelf 4 are an integral structure, unlike the common split structure. The integral structure facilitates installation and improves the stability after assembly. Several support slots are provided on the rear side of the shelf 4 from top to bottom, which are used to snap into the corresponding slots of the rear frame 2, and the height of the shelf 4 can be adjusted as needed.

[0037] Several connecting holes 42 are provided on the front side plate of the connecting plate 41 for fixing the fixing plate 11. In this embodiment, there are three connecting holes 42, which are evenly distributed horizontally on the front side plate of the connecting plate 41. The fixing plate 11 has a mounting hole corresponding to the connecting hole 42 in its center. The mounting hole is attached to the corresponding connecting hole 42, and the center of the mounting hole is aligned with the center of the connecting hole 42. It is then fixed to the shelf 4 by rivets. In this embodiment, the number of fixing plates 11 is the same as the number of connecting holes 42.

[0038] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 11 is a disc-shaped stainless steel fastener. The mounting hole is located at the bottom of the fixing plate 11 and is recessed inward. The gap between the fixing plate 11 and the front side of the shelf 4 is used to insert the price tag strip 5. The bottom of the price tag strip 5 is provided with a groove 51, and the middle section of the price tag strip 5 above the groove 51 is provided with a downward-sloping hook 52. When the price tag strip 5 is inserted into the gap between the fixing plate 11 and the front side of the shelf 4, the groove 51 is in close contact with the first contact surface 43, and the hook 52 is inserted between the second contact surface 111 and the connecting plate 41.

[0039] Several round rubber pads 7 are also attached to both sides of the shelf 4. The rubber pads 7 can separate the shelf 4 from the side frame 3 on both sides, protecting the outer surface of the shelf from wear. Since the shelf and the side frame are powder-coated metal parts, the rubber pads can prevent scratches caused when the two parts come into contact, and can also limit the left and right movement of the shelf 4 after installation.

[0040] To increase attractiveness, LED light strips can be attached to the frame of the shelf body 1, and a display panel can be installed on the top of the rear frame 2. The display panel can be fixed to the rear frame 2 by means of straps, screws, etc., and the LED lights can be attached to the outer surface of the shelf square tube.

[0041] The present invention also provides a power cord lead hole 10 next to the fixing hole 9 on the back of the freezer body 8, for leading out the wiring terminal from inside the freezer body 8, thereby providing power to the LED lights or display panel.

[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
