Detailed Description

The embodiment of the utility model provides a refrigerator and tray thereof. The refrigerator can adopt a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system for refrigeration to provide cold energy. The vapor compression refrigeration cycle system includes a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, a throttling device, and other refrigeration accessories.

Fig. 1 is a schematic partial structure diagram of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention, illustrating a box 10 and some storage structures inside, and other structures of the refrigerator are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described herein again. As shown in fig. 1, a refrigerator generally includes a cabinet 10 and at least one tray 30. The cabinet 10 defines a storage compartment 11 having an open front side. The utility model discloses tray 30 of embodiment installs in box 10 to be used for the storing to use.

In addition, the tray 30 may be mounted on one cover plate 20 as shown in fig. 1. In addition, two drawers 40 may be provided laterally side by side, with the cover 20 covering the top opening of the drawers 40.

The structure of the tray 30 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 is a schematic structural view of a tray 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 3 is an N-N cross-sectional view of the tray 30 shown in FIG. 2; FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the tray 30 shown in FIG. 3 at A; FIG. 5 is an exploded view of the tray 30 shown in FIG. 3; fig. 6 is an enlarged view of fig. 5 at B.

As shown in fig. 2 to 6, the tray 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention may generally include a support plate 200, a closed outer frame 100, and at least one resilient pad 400. Wherein the pallet 200 is made of glass for carrying an article. The frame 100 is disposed around the edge of the tray 200, in other words, the tray 200 is installed inside the frame 100. The outer frame 100 is made of a metal material, preferably aluminum alloy, for more lightweight and aesthetic purposes. The inner side of the outer frame 100 is provided with a support part 112 to upwardly support the edge of the supporting plate 200, and the inner side of the outer frame 100 is further provided with at least one position-limiting part 114 abutting against the upper surface of the edge of the supporting plate 200, and the position-limiting part 114 and the support part 112 together clamp the edge of the supporting plate 200. The elastic blocks 400 are wrapped around the edges or corners of the support plate 200 to fill the gap between the support plate 200 and the inside of the outer frame 100. That is, the resilient pad 400 directly and closely contacts the inner surface of the outer frame 100, the support portion 112, and the stopper portion 114, so that the tray 200 is fastened to the outer frame 100. The elastic pad 400 is preferably made of a rubber material, and has better elasticity and stronger deformability, and can be tightly attached to the inner side of the outer frame 100.

The tray 30 of the embodiment of the present invention adopts the metal outer frame 100 and the glass supporting plate 200, and the appearance is more beautiful. The support portion 112 and the stopper portion 114 of the outer frame 100 together hold the pallet 200, and restrict the freedom of movement of the pallet 200 in the vertical direction. The elastic cushion blocks 400 wrap the corners of the supporting plate 200 and are directly and tightly contacted with the outer frame 100, the supporting part 112 and the limiting part 114, so that on one hand, the moving freedom degree of the supporting plate 200 in all horizontal directions is restricted; on the other hand, since the elastic pad 400 is pressed against the outer frame 100, the degree of freedom of movement of the pallet 200 in the vertical direction is further restricted by a frictional force with respect to the outer frame 100.

The inventors have recognized that it is still difficult to securely restrain the pallet 200 if only a clamping structure including the support portion 112 and the stopper portion 114 or other clamping groove structure is provided. The pallet 200 may still rock up and down or horizontally within it. If further connection is made by gluing or other means, it is cumbersome. If only the elastic pad 400 is provided, the tray 200 can be relatively firmly inserted into the outer frame 100 only by using a frictional force, but the tray 200 is inevitably displaced in the vertical direction with respect to the outer frame 100 after a long time use.

Based on the above recognition, the embodiment of the present invention enables the glass support plate 200 to be stably connected to the metal frame 100 through the position-limiting portion 114 and the elastic pad 400. Moreover, because can guarantee firm the connection through above-mentioned structure, to layer board 200 and frame 100 cooperation required precision reduce on the contrary, do not need to accomplish tight seam, greatly reduced layer board 200's machining required precision and the assembly degree of difficulty, do benefit to the popularization on a large scale of actual product.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, the supporting plate 200 may have a plurality of corners (e.g., square), and each corner is wrapped with one resilient block 400, so that one resilient block 400 can have both sides adjacent to each other for a greater effect. The resilient pad 400 may be triangular in shape with a wrap angle.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3-6, the pallet 200 may be made square. The casing 100 includes four frames 110, 120, 130, 140 detachably connected end to end. The connecting device can be connected in a threaded connection or clamping connection mode. The tray 30 can be assembled: the position of the supporting plate 200 is fixed by using a tool, then the four frames 110, 120, 130 and 140 are horizontally moved to the connection position, and then the fastening connection between the frames is performed. Therefore, the assembly difficulty of the glass supporting plate 200 can be reduced, and the assembly quality is improved.

For a square tray 30, an alternative configuration is to form each rim 110, 120, 130, 140 with a support portion 112 and a stop portion 114 to provide a stronger constraint on the pallet 200. However, with this solution, once the supporting plate 200 is to be disassembled, at least two frames must be disassembled first, which is a relatively complicated operation.

Therefore, as shown in fig. 3 to 6, it is preferable that the support portions 112 are formed on the inner sides of all the frames 110, 120, 130, and 140, and the stopper portions 114 are formed on the inner sides of some of the frames. For example, the aforementioned stopper 114 is formed only on the inner side of one of the frames 110. Thus, the supporting plate 200 can be taken out without disassembling the frames or disassembling at most one frame. Therefore, the number of the stopper portions 114 is preferably one (integral shape), and the stopper portions are of a convex strip-shaped structure protruding from the inner surface of the outer frame 100 and extending in the longitudinal direction of the outer frame 100, as shown in fig. 4.

As shown in fig. 4, the outer frame 100 may include a baffle 111 extending in an up-down direction, and the supporting portion 112 and the limiting portion 114 may extend from an inner surface of the baffle 111. The position-limiting portion 114, the supporting portion 112 and the baffle 111 may be an integrally formed structure. Of course, the stopper 114 is also separately formed and then mounted on the baffle 111.

In other embodiments, the number of the position-limiting portions 114 may be multiple, and the multiple position-limiting portions 114 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the outer frame 100. Each of the stoppers 114 may have a convex structure, or may have a convex structure protruding from the inner surface of the outer frame 100 and extending along the length direction of the outer frame 100.

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.
