The two power-on components 600 are respectively arranged on the first cantilever 300 and the second cantilever 400, and are respectively connected to the first electrical connection section 511 and the second electrical connection end 512, so that the first electrical connection section 511 and the second electrical connection end 512 are respectively connected to power supplies of different polarities, thereby energizing the first light-emitting element 510 to achieve lighting.

[0047] Optionally, the shelf body 100 is configured as a transparent shelf, including a glass shelf.

[0048] Optionally, a first slot is provided on a side of the first decorative strip 210 facing the shelf body 100 , and the rear end of the shelf body 100 is locked in the first slot.

In this way, the first light-emitting element 510 can be isolated from the environment of the space where the shelf body 100 is located, thereby protecting the first light-emitting element 510. Optionally, the first light-emitting element 510 is disposed at the rear end of the shelf body 100. When the first light-emitting element 100 is powered on, light can be emitted from the rear side of the transparent shelf into the shelf body 100, and after reflection and refraction in the transparent shelf, it is emitted toward the top or bottom of the shelf body 100, thereby illuminating the top or bottom of the shelf body 100, reducing lighting blind spots, and thereby improving the overall lighting effect in the refrigerator and optimizing the user experience.

The light enters the shelf body from the rear side of the transparent shelf, and after reflection and refraction in the transparent shelf, is emitted toward the top or bottom of the shelf body, thereby illuminating the top or bottom of the shelf body, reducing lighting blind spots, and thereby improving the overall lighting effect in the refrigerator and optimizing the user experience. At the same time, the power-on components are respectively arranged on the first cantilever and the second cantilever. On the one hand, it can prevent the power-on components from colliding with other components in the refrigerator and causing damage, thereby improving the safety of the first light-emitting component; on the other hand, the two power-on components are respectively connected to power sources of different polarities, which can avoid short circuits when there is a lot of water vapor in the refrigerator compartment, further improving the safety of the first light-emitting component.

[0055] In some embodiments, the shelf for the refrigerator further includes a second decorative strip 220 and a second light-emitting member 520.

In this way, the second light-emitting element 520 can be isolated from the environment of the space where the shelf body 100 is located, thereby protecting the second light-emitting element 520. Optionally, the second light-emitting element 520 is disposed at the rear end of the shelf body 100. When the first light-emitting element 100 is powered on, light can be emitted from the rear side of the transparent shelf into the shelf body 100, and after reflection and refraction in the transparent shelf, it is emitted toward the top or bottom of the shelf body 100, thereby illuminating the top or bottom of the shelf body 100, reducing lighting blind spots, and thereby improving the overall lighting effect in the refrigerator and optimizing the user experience.

[0058] Optionally, a sealant is provided between the second slot and the shelf body 100, thereby sealing the second light emitting element 520 in the second slot to further improve the safety of the second light emitting element 520.

By installing the shelf body 100 in the positioning holes 731 at different heights, the height of the shelf body 100 can be adjusted. Optionally, the first mounting portion 310 and the second mounting portion 410 are both snap fasteners.

[0065] Optionally, since the shelf body 100 can be moved up and down to adjust its height, in order to facilitate the energization of the power supply component 600, a conductive member 640 is provided on the support arm 700, and a wire terminal 641 connected to a preset power supply is provided at the bottom end of the conductive member 640. When the wire terminal is connected to a power supply with a preset polarity, the conductive member 640 can be energized.
