As shown in fig. 2 to 6, the rack 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention may generally include a rack body 100 and a decorative cover 200. The rack body 100 constitutes a main body portion of the rack 20 for being directly connected with the case 10 for carrying stored goods. The rack body 100 has a catch surface 115 extending in its transverse direction (the transverse direction of the rack 20 is indicated in the figures) and facing forward, see fig. 6. The decorative cover 200 is a sheet metal part and covers the top surface of the front portion of the rack body 100, and mainly plays a decorative role. The trim cover 200 is mounted to the rack body 100 in a snap-fit manner. Specifically, the front edge of the trim cover 200 is bent downward and then bent backward to form a wrapping portion 201 for wrapping the front edge of the rack body 100, referring to fig. 5. The rear edge of the trim cover 200 is bent downward to form a flange 202, at least one mounting portion 2021 is formed on the flange 202, and the mounting portion 2021 abuts against the latch surface 115 and is fixed thereto in a latch manner.

Because of the high cost of the sheet metal parts, the metal decorative strips of the rack are not manufactured by the sheet metal parts in the field, but the extruded metal decorative strips are mostly additionally arranged on the edges of the glass shelf for slightly decorating.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the rack 20 is made of sheet metal to form the decorative cover 200. Compare in prior art's metal and extrude trim, because the machining precision of sheet metal component itself is higher, can not produce sharp edge, can not fish tail staff and other structures of refrigerator. Moreover, considering the characteristic of the sheet metal part that it is convenient to bend, the present embodiment particularly bends the front edge of the trim cover 200 to form a wrapping portion 201, and the wrapping portion 201 wraps the front edge of the rack body 100, and also hides the front end section (i.e. the end surface of the sheet material) of the trim cover 200 at the lower side of the rack body 100, so that the front structure of the trim cover 200 is more beautiful. In addition, the rear edge of the trim cover 200 is bent downward to form a flange 202, and the flange 202 abuts against and is clamped with the clamping surface 115 of the rack body 100, so that on one hand, the trim cover 200 is fixed, and on the other hand, the rear end section (i.e. the end surface of the plate) of the trim cover 200 is hidden, and the rear structure of the trim cover 200 is more beautiful.

Due to the above-mentioned superior characteristics of the sheet metal member, the ratio of the width (i.e., the dimension in the front-rear direction) of the trim cover 200 to the width of the entire rack 20 may be further made greater than 1/3. Compared with the prior art that only one narrow metal decoration strip is arranged, the wide decoration cover plate 200 of the embodiment of the utility model has stronger decoration undoubtedly and can be added with characters and patterns with richer contents.

In some embodiments, as shown in figures 2-4, the rack body 100 includes a frame 110 and a glass panel 120. The frame 110 is made of a non-metallic material, such as plastic. The frame 110 is formed with the aforementioned engaging surface 115, and the trim cover 200 is mounted on the front top surface of the frame 110. The glass plate 120 is mounted to the rear top surface of the frame 110.

The rack body 100 of the rack 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the non-metal frame 110, the glass plate 120, and the metal decorative cover 200, so that the overall appearance of the rack 20 is more beautiful, and the product grade is greatly improved.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the rear top surface of the frame 110 may be formed with a support surface 111 for supporting the glass sheet 120 upward and a skirt border 112 for shielding the edge of the glass sheet 120. The glass plate 120 is embedded in the frame 110, so that the top surface of the glass plate is flush with the top surface of the rack body 100, thereby preventing the end of the glass plate 120 from being exposed to the outside and making the rack more beautiful. Further, a plurality of stopper protrusions 1121 may be formed on the skirt guard 112 for abutting against the top surface of the glass sheet 120 to restrain the position of the glass sheet 120. In the direction in which the stopper projection 1121 extends outward from the peripheral flange 112, the top surface thereof may be made into a slope 1122 that gradually slopes downward, so that when the glass sheet 120 is mounted, the edge of the glass sheet 120 passes over the stopper projection 1121 along the slope 1122 to reach below the stopper projection 1121. Of course, the stopper projection 1121 itself also has a good elasticity to be deformed when being pressed downward by the glass sheet 120, facilitating the glass sheet 120 to pass over the stopper projection 1121. The number of the stopper projections 1121 may be two, for restraining both lateral ends of the glass plate 120, respectively.

In addition, the glass plate 120 and the frame 110 may be further connected by other means (e.g., adhesive bonding) to make the position of the glass plate 120 more stable.

FIG. 7 is a bottom perspective view of the rack of FIG. 4; FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the rack of FIG. 7 at D; fig. 9 is a schematic structural view of the positioning block 130 in the rack shown in fig. 8.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the trim cover 200 may be provided with positioning openings 121 corresponding to the at least one mounting portion 2021. The positioning hole 121 penetrates through the upper and lower surfaces of the trim cover 200. The rack 20 further includes at least one positioning block 130, and after the mounting portion 2021 is snapped to the snapping surface 115, each positioning block 130 is inserted from the lower side of the rack body 100 and fixed in one of the positioning openings 121, and presses the mounting portion 2021 to be tightly attached to the snapping surface 115. For example, a protrusion 116 may extend forward from a rear wall of the positioning opening 121, a screw hole 1161 may be formed on the protrusion 116, and a screw hole 1311 may be formed on the positioning block 130, so that the positioning block 130 may be fixed to the protrusion 116 by the screw 140. That is, the screw 140 is screwed into the screw hole 1161 after passing through the screw hole 1311.

As shown in fig. 9, each positioning block 130 may include a base plate 131 and two risers 132. The substrate 131 is used to connect with the protruding portion 116, and the substrate 131 may be provided with the screw hole 1311. Two risers 132 extend upwardly from the top surface of the base 131 and are arranged on opposite sides of the raised portion 116, and a rear wall of each riser 132 has a vertically extending rib 1321 for abutting against a front surface of the mounting portion 2021.

In the above embodiment of the present invention, the positioning block 130 is used to press the mounting portion 2021 of the decoration cover plate 200, so that the mounting portion 2021 is tightly attached to the fastening surface 115, thereby ensuring the fastening between the decoration cover plate 200 and the rack body 100, avoiding the problem of loosening at the fastening position between the decoration cover plate 200 and the rack body 100 due to long-time use, and improving the user experience. Moreover, the disassembly is also convenient.

The inventors have considered that if the trim cover 200 is simply snapped into engagement with the rack body 100, slack is likely to occur. Once the article is loosened, the user may get or put the article on the trim cover 200, or the user may feel the looseness of the trim cover 200 when the user pulls the rack 20 by holding the trim cover 200, which is very bad. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention designs the positioning block 130 specifically to add a dual connection guarantee to the trim cover 200, so as to ensure the connection stability.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, since the processing manner of the sheet metal part is generally bending and stamping (including punching), in order to match such a feature of the sheet metal part, it is preferable that at least one clip 1151 protruding outwards is formed on the clamping surface 115, and a clip hole 2022 is formed on each mounting portion 2021, and each clip hole 2022 is clamped and fixed with one clip 1151, so as to realize the clamping of the mounting portion 2021 and the clamping surface 115.

Of course, the mounting portion 2021 may be formed with the clip 1151, and the clip surface 115 may be provided with the clip hole 2022.

As shown in fig. 7, the at least one mounting portion 2021 may be plural in number, and the plural mounting portions 2021 are arranged along the transverse direction of the rack body 100, so that the connection of the rear edge of the trim cover 200 is more stable.

Thus, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments of the invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations and modifications can be made, consistent with the principles of the invention, which are directly determined or derived from the disclosure herein, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be understood and interpreted to cover all such other variations or modifications.
