The refrigerator shelf in the prior art is usually formed by placing two or three layers in parallel at a certain distance in a refrigerator container of a refrigerator, so that the space in the refrigerator container is fixedly separated, and the refrigerator shelf is difficult to place in the refrigerator when meeting food with larger volume. When the small article storage box is used for storing small articles, the space utilization rate of the box container is low, or the small articles are difficult to take due to excessive stacking of the small articles.

In order to solve the problems, the invention provides a shelf and a refrigerator provided with the shelf.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in the present embodiment, the shelf 1 includes a support 10 and a plurality of support rods 20. Wherein, along the length direction of the bracket 10, a plurality of positioning grooves 11 are arranged on the bracket 10 at intervals; along the length direction of the support 10, the plurality of support rods 20 are arranged between two oppositely arranged supports 10 side by side, and two ends of each support rod 20 can be placed in the positioning grooves 11; a flexible member 30 is connected between any two adjacent support rods 20, and the flexible member 30 can be bent and folded.

Shelf 1 can locate and play the shelf effect in the case courage 41 of refrigerator 2, two this moment support 10 is installed relatively on the inner wall of 2 case courages 41 of refrigerator, the both ends of bracing piece 20 place in the constant head tank 11, and follow the length of support 10 to, the degree of depth direction of 2 case courages 41 of refrigerator promptly, it is a plurality of bracing piece 20 locates two relative settings side by side between the support 10, at this moment shelf 1 is in the state of spreading, plays the effect of separating 2 case courages 41 spaces of refrigerator. The shelf 1 can be arranged between two layers of shelves in the box container 41, and can also be arranged at intervals along the height direction of the box container 41, the shelf 1 is used for separating the box container 41 into a plurality of layers of independent spaces, so that the stacking among the objects can be avoided when the objects with small storage volume are stored, and the objects can be taken conveniently.

Because the two ends of the supporting rod 20 are only clamped in the positioning grooves 11, and the supporting rod 20 is in non-fixed connection with the brackets 10, the supporting rod 20 can be taken out from the positioning grooves 11; since the adjacent support rods 20 are connected by the flexible member 30 that can be bent and folded, the plurality of support rods 20 can be wound up in a reel form in a direction in which the support rods are arranged side by side after being taken out, and the shelf 1 can be switched to the wound-up state. When needs deposit the great article of volume, can be a plurality of bracing piece 20 by refrigerator 2 case courage 41's opening department in proper order by the constant head tank 11 takes out, and rolls up towards the inside of case courage 41, shelf 1 no longer plays the partition effect to case courage 41's space, the separation in the upper and lower divided space of shelf 1 disappears, can hold the bigger article of some volumes.

When the shelf 1 is in a spreading state, the container 41 of the refrigerator 2 can meet the layered storage of articles with smaller volume; when the shelf 1 is in a furled state, the refrigerator liner 41 of the refrigerator 2 can accommodate articles with larger volume; by switching the spreading state and the rolling state of the shelf 1, the size of the layered space in the refrigerator container 41 of the refrigerator 2 is adjusted according to requirements, and the flexible utilization of the space in the refrigerator container 41 of the refrigerator 2 is realized.

It can be understood that, after the support rod 20 is furled, the shelf 1 can be still placed on the support 10 after the shelf 1 is in the furled state, at this time, the shelf 1 is located at the innermost side of the box liner 41, the influence on the whole space of the box liner 41 is small, and when the shelf 1 is required to separate the space of the box liner 41 next time, the support rod 20 only needs to be reversely spread, so that the operation is simple and convenient. In order to further reduce the influence of the shelf 1 on the space in the tank liner 41, all the support rods 20 can be taken out after being furled, and the support rods 20 can be easily cleaned and maintained after being completely taken out. Therefore, the shelf 1 has the advantages of simple structure, lower production cost, simple and convenient use method and direct and effective effect.

In this embodiment, the number of the flexible members 30 between adjacent support rods 20 is not limited, and may be one, two or more than two. Considering that the maximum distance between the two ends of the adjacent support rods 20 cannot be limited at the same time when the flexible member 30 is disposed in one piece between the adjacent support rods 20, for example, the flexible member 30 is connected near the left end of the support rod 20, after the support rod 20 is taken out of the positioning groove 11, the adjacent support rods 20 are connected together by the flexible member 30, but because the flexible member 30 is disposed near the left end, the right end of the adjacent support rod 20 is very movable, so that when the support rod 20 is spread again, the right end of the support rod 20 cannot be smoothly clamped into the positioning groove 11, and a user needs to manually restore the support rod one by one, thereby increasing the difficulty and time of operation.

In view of this, it is preferable that the number of the flexible members 30 between the adjacent support rods 20 is two, and the flexible members 30 are disposed at both ends of the support rods 20, and in this case, the flexible members 30 can connect a plurality of the support rods 20, and at the same time, can better limit the distance between both ends of the adjacent support rods 20. Meanwhile, compared with the case that the number of the flexible members 30 between the adjacent support rods 20 is greater than two, although two or more flexible members 30 can have a stronger connection effect on the support rods 20, the greater the number of the flexible members 30, the higher the material cost and the installation and processing cost.

Further, considering that the support rods 20 need to support and place the objects stored in the container 41 when the shelf 1 is in the spreading state, in order to ensure that the gap between the adjacent support rods 20 does not change too much in the length direction of the support rods 20 themselves and the distance between the side-by-side support rods 20 does not change too much in the length direction of the bracket 10, it is preferable that the positioning grooves 11 are equally spaced on the bracket 10, so that the support rods 20 tend to be arranged between the two brackets 10 in parallel. The supporting rods 20 are uniformly arranged, so that on one hand, the gaps between the adjacent supporting rods 20 can be prevented from being enlarged, and the articles placed on the supporting rods can be prevented from falling off; on the other hand, the uniform stress of the support rod 20 can be ensured, and the bearing capacity of the support rod 20 is enhanced.

It can be known that, when the positioning slots 11 are arranged at equal intervals, the two ends of the supporting rod 20 are clamped in the positioning slots 11, and the distance between the two ends of the adjacent supporting rod 20 approaches the distance between the adjacent positioning slots 11. If the length of the flexible member 30 between the adjacent support rods 20 is smaller than the distance between the adjacent positioning grooves 11, after the support rods 20 are clamped in the positioning grooves 11, the flexible member 30 will apply a tensile force to the support rods 20 along the depth direction of the container 41, so that the support rods 20 generate a longitudinal tensile stress, and the risk of fracture of the support rods 20 is increased; if the length of the flexible member 30 between the adjacent support rods 20 is too small, or the connection position of the flexible member 30 is close to the ends of the two ends of the support rod 20, the support rod 20 cannot be even clamped into the positioning slot 11. Therefore, the length of the flexible member 30 between the adjacent support rods 20 should be set to be not less than the distance between the adjacent positioning grooves 11.

Under the condition that the lengths of the flexible members 30 at the two ends of the supporting rod 20 are the same, if the connection angles between the two flexible members 30 and the supporting rod 20 are different, the distances between the two ends of the adjacent supporting rods 20 are also different. Therefore, in an embodiment, the two flexible members 30 at the two ends of the supporting rod 20 are symmetrically arranged, so that when the shelf 1 is in the spreading state, the distances between the two ends of the adjacent supporting rod 20 are the same, and when the shelf 1 is switched from the furled state to the spreading state, the supporting rods 20 can be sequentially and smoothly clamped into the corresponding positioning grooves 11. Preferably, when the shelf 1 is in a spreading state, the flexible member 30 is perpendicular to the support rod 20, so as to reduce the required length of the flexible member 30.

Referring to fig. 4, in an embodiment, the flexible member 30 includes a flexible rope 31, and the flexible rope 31 is connected in series to the supporting rods 20 along a plurality of supporting rods 20 in a side-by-side sequence. The flexible ropes 31 can be arranged in a segmented manner, namely, the different support rods 20 are connected by the independent flexible ropes 31; the flexible cord 31 may also be integrally formed, i.e. the same end of all the support rods 20 is connected in series by one flexible cord 31. The sectional type arrangement has higher requirements on the connection strength between the flexible rope 31 and the support rod 20, and if the support rod 20 and the flexible rope 31 in the middle are connected and fall off when the shelf 1 is in a furled state, the shelf 1 can be scattered integrally. However, the sectional arrangement allows the support rod 20 to be replaced in the middle without affecting the connection between the flexible cable 31 and the support rod 20 at other positions.

When the flexible rope 31 is integrally arranged, the requirement on the connection strength of the support rod 20 is low, and meanwhile, one flexible rope 31 penetrates through all the support rods 20, so that the required connection processing time is also short, but when the support rod 20 at the middle part is broken, the support rod 20 after replacement cannot be easily penetrated to a required position again.

In view of this, in an embodiment, the support rod 20 is configured to include a rod body 100 and end caps 200, the end caps 200 are spaced apart from the flexible rope 31, and the rod body 100 is clamped between the two end caps 200. At this time, the end caps 200 of the plurality of support rods 20 are arranged on the flexible rope 31 at intervals, so that the integral arrangement of the flexible rope 31 is satisfied; simultaneously, the body of rod 100 sets up to the joint in two between the end cover 200, can realize the split through removing the joint between the body of rod 100 and the end cover 200, it is right promptly the nimble renew of bracing piece 20, when the middle certain place the body of rod 100 condition such as fracture takes place, can be at its both ends a sound body of rod 100 of joint again between the end cover 200.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, specifically, the end of the rod body 100 is provided with a hollow mounting groove 110, two opposite side surfaces of the rod body 100 are provided with limiting grooves 120 communicated with the mounting groove 110, the end cover 200 includes an end plate 210 and a side plate 220 oppositely disposed on the end plate 210, two end surfaces of the side plate 220 are provided with limiting protrusions 222, when the rod body 100 is connected with the end cover 200, the side plate 220 is limited in the limiting grooves 120, and the limiting protrusions 222 are limited in the mounting groove 110.

The end cap 200 is inserted into the mounting groove 110 from one end of a side plate 220, and the opposite direction of the side plate 220 is aligned with the opposite direction of the two side surfaces provided with the limiting groove 120, so that the two side plates 220 are respectively inserted into the limiting groove 120, and the part of the side plate 220 provided with the limiting protrusion 222 is arranged in the mounting groove 110. The width of the side plate 220 is adapted to the width of the limit groove 120, after the side plate 220 is inserted into the limit groove 120, the movement of the rod body 100 in the vertical direction relative to the end cap 200 is limited, the width of the portion of the side plate 220 where the limit protrusion 222 is provided is greater than the width of the limit groove 120, and the limit protrusion 222 is limited in the installation groove 110, that is, the movement of the rod body 100 in the front-back direction relative to the end cap 200 is limited.

In the above embodiment, the vertical movement and the front-rear movement of the rod 100 relative to the cap 200 are limited by the side plate 220 and the limiting protrusion 222, respectively, but the cap 200 cannot limit the horizontal movement of the rod 100 relative to the cap 200. When the shelf 1 is in the spreading state, the end caps 200 abut against the side walls of the positioning grooves 11, and the distance between the two end caps 200 which are oppositely arranged is fixed, so that the rod body 100 cannot move left and right relative to the end caps 200, and the rod body 100 cannot be separated from the end caps 200. When the shelf 1 is in a furled state, the end caps 200 are taken out of the positioning grooves 11, the limitation of the positioning grooves 11 is lost, the distance between the two oppositely arranged end caps 200 is possibly changed, in order to prevent the rod body 100 from separating from the end caps 200, the length of the whole supporting rod 20 needs to be set according to the width of the box body 40 of the installed refrigerator 2, preferably, the length of the whole supporting rod 20 is set to be approximately equal to the width of the box body 40 of the installed refrigerator 2.

The spacing between adjacent support rods 20 needs to be kept fixed (or a small floating range), which means that the position of the support rods 20 on the flexible cord 31 needs to be kept fixed, and in this embodiment, which means that the position of the end cap 200 on the flexible cord 31 needs to be kept fixed, the manner of connecting the end cap 200 to the flexible cord 31 includes, but is not limited to, bonding, clamping, and the like.

Referring to fig. 4, in an embodiment, the shelf 1 further includes a pull bead 32, the pull beads 32 are spaced apart and fixedly sleeved on the flexible rope 31, an avoiding groove 221 with an opening facing the rod body 100 is formed on the side plate 220, the flexible rope 31 passes through the side plate 220 through the avoiding groove 221, and the pull beads 32 abut against inner side surfaces of the two side plates 220.

The shape of the pull bead 32 is not limited and includes, but is not limited to, cylindrical, spherical, etc.

The flexible rope 31 on both sides of the pull bead 32 is transversely pressed into the avoiding groove 221 through the opening of the avoiding groove 221, and the pull bead 32 is arranged between the two side plates 220 while the flexible rope 31 passes through the side plates 220. Because the pull beads 32 are fixedly sleeved on the flexible rope 31 and the pull beads 32 abut against the inner side surfaces of the two side plates 220, the end covers 200 cannot move along the length direction of the flexible rope 31, and when the rod body 100 is clamped between the two end covers 200, the distance between the adjacent support rods 20 is kept fixed.

Further, in order to prevent the flexible rope 31 by the opening of the avoiding groove 221 breaks away from the end cover 200, move towards the opening direction of the avoiding groove 221, the avoiding groove 221 includes an expansion portion 221a and a limiting portion 221b which are communicated with each other, the flexible rope 31 is connected with the expansion portion 221a in a clamping manner, and the width of the communication position of the limiting portion 221b and the expansion portion 221a is smaller than the outer diameter of the flexible rope 31.

When the flexible rope 31 on both sides of the pull bead 32 is transversely pressed into the avoiding groove 221 through the opening of the avoiding groove 221, the flexible rope 31 passes through the limiting portion 221b and enters the expansion portion 221a under the action of external force. The width of the connection part between the limiting part 221b and the expanding part 221a is smaller than the outer diameter of the flexible rope 31, when the flexible rope 31 enters the expanding part 221a from the limiting part 221b, the flexible rope 31 is deformed to pass through the connection part under the influence of an external force, and after the flexible rope 31 enters the expanding part 221a, the flexible rope 31 is restored. When the flexible rope 31 is not subjected to an external force towards the opening direction of the avoiding groove 221, the flexible rope is not easy to pass through the communication part of the limiting part 221b and the expansion part 221a, so that the end cover 200 is not easy to fall off from the flexible rope 31.
