As shown in fig. 1 to 5, an embodiment of the present invention provides a refrigerator. The refrigerator comprises a door body used for opening or closing a storage compartment defined by a refrigerator body. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the layout manner of the door bodies, and as shown in fig. 1, the refrigerator may include two split door bodies 10 and two drawer doors 30.

The refrigerator as a whole can be refrigerated by a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system, which defines a cooling chamber in which an evaporator is disposed for cooling air. And cold air is transmitted to each storage chamber by using the air duct so as to refrigerate each storage chamber. Each storage chamber can be correspondingly provided with a corresponding door body for opening and closing the storage chamber.

According to different refrigerating temperatures, each storage chamber in the refrigerator can be divided into different chambers such as a refrigerating chamber, a freezing chamber and a temperature changing chamber. For example, the temperature in the refrigerated compartment is generally controlled between 2 ℃ and 10 ℃, preferably between 4 ℃ and 7 ℃. The temperature range in the freezer compartment is typically controlled between-22 ℃ and-14 ℃. The temperature-changing chamber can be adjusted between-18 ℃ and 8 ℃ to realize the temperature-changing effect. The optimal storage temperatures of different kinds of articles are different, and the storage compartments suitable for storage are also different. For example, fruit and vegetable foods are suitably stored in the refrigerating compartment, while meat foods are suitably stored in the freezing compartment.

The refrigerator further comprises at least one bottle seat assembly 20, wherein the bottle seat assembly 20 comprises a bottle seat 100, and the bottle seat 100 is detachably mounted on the inner side of the door body 10, in particular, on a door liner on the inner side of the door body 10, so as to place articles. The bottle holder assembly 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 2 to 5.

As shown in fig. 2 to 5, an embodiment of the present invention provides a bottle holder assembly 20 for a refrigerator. The bottle holder assembly 20 may generally include a bottle holder 100 and a flip rail 200.

The bottle holder 100 is installed inside the door 10 of the refrigerator for accommodating a bottle. The bottle-shaped object refers to a storage object which is bottled or canned. As shown in FIG. 2, the bottle holder 100 may have a box shape, and the upper side thereof is opened to form an opening for receiving the bottle. The two side walls of the bottle seat 100 may be provided with slots for inserting the retaining protrusions at the inner side of the door 10, so that the bottle seat 100 is fixed to the door 10, and the user can take off the bottle seat 100 by lifting it upward. The above-described mounting of the bottle holder 100 is widely used in the prior art and will not be described in further detail herein.

The rollover rail 200 includes a containment portion 210 and two connecting rods 220. The first ends (upper ends in the state of fig. 3) of the two connecting rods 220 are respectively fixed to two lateral ends (lateral directions are shown in the figure) of the blocking portion 210, and the second ends (lower ends in the state of fig. 3) are respectively mounted on the two lateral side walls 120 of the bottle holder 100 to be rotatable around a lateral axis. The roll-over balustrade 200 is configured to: can be rotated to a surrounding position where the surrounding part 210 is positioned above the bottle seat 100 for surrounding the stored objects in the bottle seat 100, as shown in fig. 2 and 3; or rotated to a position where the enclosure 210 is below the bottle holder 100 for carrying articles, as shown in fig. 4 and 5.

After the bottle holder assembly 20 of the embodiment of the present invention is installed on the door 10, when a user wants to block a higher bottle on the bottle holder 100, the user can rotate the turning rail 200 to the blocking position as shown in fig. 2 and 3, so that the blocking portion 210 is located above the bottle holder 100 and surrounds the bottle, thereby preventing the bottle from falling down or falling when the door 10 is opened violently. When there is no bottle or the bottle is small and does not need to be enclosed in the bottle base 100, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the turnover rail 200 can be rotated to the storage position, so that the enclosing portion 210 is located below the bottle base 100 for placing articles. Therefore, on one hand, the surrounding part 210 does not affect the normal storage of the bottle seat 100, and on the other hand, the surrounding part 210 itself also stores the articles below the bottle seat 100, thereby improving the space utilization below the bottle seat 100.

As can be seen from the above, in the bottle base assembly 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the enclosure portion 210 only applies effective constraint to the bottle-shaped objects placed in the bottle base 100 when necessary, so as to implement "enclosure as required", and have two usage scenarios, more functions are abundant, and the usage is very flexible and convenient.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2-5, the inverted rail 200 further includes a bracket 230. The bracket 230 is rotatably mounted to the edge of the containment portion 210. The roll-over balustrade 200 is configured to: when the inverted handrail 200 is in the blocking position, the bracket 230 is in the vertical position hanging on the edge of the blocking portion 210, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, so that the bracket does not occupy the space right above the bottle holder 100 and does not affect the normal storage of the bottle holder 100. When the inverted handrail 200 is rotated to the storage position, the bracket 230 is rotated to a flat state (a horizontally disposed or substantially horizontally disposed state so as to have items placed thereon) and rides on the containment portion 210 for carrying items, as shown in fig. 4 and 5. Since the containment portion 210 serves to contain the bottled contents, it is impossible to design the containment portion so as to be too dense to support the bottled contents, and therefore the bracket 230 is provided, and the containment portion 210 supports the bracket 230, and the bottled contents can be placed on the bracket 230.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2-5, the bracket 230 is rotatably mounted to the surround 210 about a transverse axis. Also, the inverted rail 200 is configured to make the bracket 230 abut against the inner side surface of the door body 10 when the inverted rail is in the enclosure position. That is, the bracket 230 is erected at the rear side of the bottled material so that it does not affect the placement of the bottled material at all. Moreover, the bottom of the bracket 230 may contact the top of the bottle holder 100, the bracket 230 may be supported by the bottle holder 100, and then the surrounding portion 210 may be supported by the bracket 230, so that the position of the surrounding portion 210 may be more stable.

In some embodiments, a magnetic attraction part (not shown) may be installed on the door 10, and when the roll-over balustrade 200 is in the enclosure position, the magnetic attraction part attracts the roll-over balustrade 200 by magnetic force to keep it in the enclosure position. For example, the magnetic attraction portion may be a magnet attached to the door side surface of the door 10 or embedded inside the door 10. The whole or part of the turnover handrail 200 is made of steel material, and the turnover handrail 200 is located at the position of the enclosure, so that the magnetic attraction part is opposite to the solid part of the turnover handrail 200, and magnetic attraction is realized, and the turnover handrail 200 is attracted to the door body 10. Preferably, a plurality of magnetic attracting portions are provided to be opposite to a plurality of positions of the bracket 230 and a plurality of positions of the link 220, so that the position of the turnover pole 200 is more stable.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 to 5, the fence portion 210 may be made in a rectangular ring shape, and is particularly surrounded by two

cross bars

211, 212 extending in the transverse direction and two

side bars

213, 214 connecting both ends of the two

cross bars

211, 212. Also, the extending direction of each link 220 (the extending direction of the main body portion) is perpendicular to the side bars 213, 214, and both ends thereof are bent to form two bending sections 221 extending laterally to connect the side bars 213, 214 and the lateral side walls 120 of the bottle holder 100, respectively. For example, in the perspective view of fig. 3, two

crossbars

211, 212 extend in the lateral direction, a side bar 213 extends in the front-rear direction and connects the left end portions of the two

crossbars

211, 212, and a side bar 214 extends in the front-rear direction and connects the right end portions of the two

crossbars

211, 212. The connecting rod 220 extends vertically (perpendicular to the side bars 213, 214), two ends of the connecting rod 220 are respectively bent to form two bending sections 221, one bending section 221 is connected with the side bars 213, 214, and the other bending section 221 is rotatably mounted on the lateral side wall 120 of the bottle holder 100.

The bracket 230 includes a "U" -shaped outer frame 231 and at least one support bar 232. The "U" -shaped outer frame 231 includes a lateral side 2311 extending in the lateral direction and two vertical sides 2312 extending from the lateral side 2311 in a bent manner, and the lateral side 2311 is rotatably connected to a cross bar 211. The support bar 232 extends in the lateral direction and is fixed to the two vertical sides 2312, and when the bracket 230 is in a state of riding on the fence portion 210, the "U" -shaped outer frame 231 is enclosed therein by the fence portion 210, and the ends of the support bar 232 ride on the side bars 213, 214 of the fence portion 210, as shown in fig. 5. This enables the bracket 230 and the surrounding portion 210 to be overlapped with each other with a very simple structure without causing the loop of the "U" shaped outer frame 231 higher than the surrounding portion 210, and the structure is very delicate. The support rod 232 may be plural, for example, two, to support the contents.

As shown in fig. 5, at least one concave section 2322 may be formed on the supporting rod 232, and when the bracket 230 is in a state of being caught by the catch 210, the concave section 2322 is concave downward to accommodate the bottle, so that the bottle is just inside the concave section 2322 to restrict the degree of freedom in the transverse direction. As shown in fig. 5, each support rod 232 has three concave sections 2322 so that three bottles can be placed therein, as shown in fig. 4.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3 and 5, the lateral edge 2311 of the "U" shaped frame 231 is connected to the cross bars 211, 212 of the containment portion 210 by a plurality of connectors 240. Each connecting member 240 is provided with two parallel through holes, and the transverse edge 2311 and the cross bar 211 are respectively and rotatably inserted into one through hole. Thus, the bracket 230 can rotate around the cross bar 211 and can rotate around the cross edge 2311, so as to rotate to the lower side of the cross bar 211 (when the turnover rail 200 is in the enclosure position) and the inner side of the cross bar 211 (when the turnover rail 200 is in the storage position).

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, each link 220 is rotatably mounted in the mounting hole 121 of the lateral sidewall 120 of the bottle holder 100. Also, each lateral sidewall 120 of the bottle holder 100 has a plurality of mounting holes 121 having different heights so as to change the mounting position of the link 220.

For example, fig. 3 shows that two mounting holes 121 may be provided, and in the state of fig. 3, the connecting rod 220 is mounted in the mounting hole 121 with a higher position, so that when the turnover rail 200 is located at the blocking position, the blocking portion 210 is higher and is suitable for blocking higher bottled objects, and when the turnover rail 200 rotates to the storage position, the blocking portion 210 is higher and has a smaller distance from the bottom of the bottle base 100 and is suitable for placing thinner bottled objects. It can be seen that if the connecting rod 220 is installed in another mounting hole 121, when the turnover barrier 200 is in the blocking position, the blocking portion 210 is lowered to be suitable for blocking shorter bottles, and when the turnover barrier 200 is rotated to the storage position, the blocking portion 210 is lowered to be spaced from the bottom of the bottle seat 100 to be larger to be suitable for placing thicker bottles.

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