The first bending portion 313 extends rearward, and the second bending portion 314 extends upward so that the catching groove 331 opens upward. The catching groove 331 is located at a lower side of the rotation shaft 311. The locking post 332 is disposed at the upper end of the second link 320, and the locking post 332 is disposed on a side wall of the second link 320 facing the first link 310. In some embodiments, the latch 332 is located on a front side of the side wall of the second link 320 facing the first link 310, so that the latch 332 is engaged with the latch slot 331. In some embodiments, the locking groove 331 is disposed on the first link 310, and a groove is recessed downward toward a side wall of the door 100 of the first link 310, and the groove extends in a left-right direction to form the locking groove 331.

Referring to fig. 8 and 10, when the support plate 200 is flipped upward, the first link 310 rotates about its connection with the door 100, and the second link 320 rotates about the rotation axis of the rotation shaft 311. When the support plate 200 is turned upwards, the locking pin 332 abuts against the first link 310, and the support plate 200 and the second link 320 are moved downwards, so that the locking pin 332 moves downwards along the first link 310, and the locking pin 332 is locked in the locking slot 331. When the locking post 332 is locked in the locking slot 331, the first link 310, the second link 320 and the support plate 200 are at predetermined positions. At this time, the supporting plate 200 is horizontally disposed, and the supporting plate 200 can carry an article thereon.

Referring to fig. 6 and 10, in the present embodiment, the first link 310 is further provided with a position-limiting buckle 312, and the position-limiting buckle 312 is detachably connected to an end of the rotating shaft 311 away from the first link 310. After the rotating shaft 311 is inserted into the sliding hole 321, the position-limiting buckle 312 is fixed on the rotating shaft 311, and the first connecting rod 310 and the position-limiting buckle 312 clamp the second connecting rod 320, so as to enhance the connection strength between the first connecting rod 310 and the second connecting rod 320.

Referring to fig. 1 to 10, in the present embodiment, when a user needs to quickly take out and place an article in a refrigerator, the supporting plate 200 is moved from an initial position. The user inserts a hand into the space 120 to apply a force to the support plate 200 such that the support plate 200 is flipped up about the first rotary base 210. The first link 310 rotates outwards around the rotating member 130, the second link 320 rotates around the rotating shaft 311, and the rotating shaft 311 slides in the sliding hole 321. After the support plate 200 is moved, the catch post 332 abuts against the first link 310.

When the latch 332 abuts against the first link 310, the support plate 200 is moved downward to a predetermined position. In the process of moving the second link 320 downward, the locking post 332 moves downward to extend into and be locked in the locking groove 331. At this time, the rotation shaft 311, the sliding hole 321 and the locking structure 330 limit the first link 310 and the second link 320 together. So that the first and

second links

310 and 320 support and restrain the support plate 200. The supporting plate 200 is used for bearing articles, so that the article taking and placing market is reduced, the passing of cold energy in the refrigerator is reduced, and the use cost of the refrigerator is reduced.

In the present invention, when the user needs to take out a large number of articles, the supporting plate 200 is rotated around the upper end thereof in the up-down direction, so that the included angle is formed between the supporting plate 200 and the front side surface of the box door 100. When the link mechanism 300 rotates to a predetermined position along with the support plate 200, the locking structure 330 limits the first link 310 and the second link 320, and the first link 310 and the second link 320 support and limit the support plate 200. The user can take out article from the refrigerator and put on the supporting plate 200 quickly, so that the opening time of the refrigerator door is shortened, the use cost of the refrigerator is reduced, and the refrigerator is convenient to use.
