Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator, and in particular, to a refrigerator having a bottle rack.
  • WO2005/090883 discloses a bottle rack for a refrigerator, wherein the bottle rack includes a receiving shell forming at least one longitudinal groove for receiving a bottle. One end of the bottle rack is detachably inserted into a frame of a storage shelf, the bottle rack has support legs extending downwards from a lower surface of the receiving shell, and the support legs are supported on the shelf.
  • a support leg of the bottle rack located above is supported on an inner surface of a curved receiving shell of the bottle rack located below, so that the stacked bottle racks cannot stably store any wine bottle.
  • the refrigerator is provided with a plurality of bottle racks and the user only needs to use one or some bottle racks, a Waste of a usage space of the refrigerator will be rendered if idle bottle racks are placed in the refrigerator.
  • WO2011/092115 A2 discloses a bottle storage element for a refrigerator, wherein two plates for accommodating a lying bottle can be displaced relative to each other.
  • CN 102288002 A discloses a shelf for use in a refrigerator, the shelf being provided with a plurality of egg holes for placing eggs.
  • a bottle can be placed in grooves of the shelf, when the shelf is turned upside down.
  • EP 1997401 A2 discloses a bottle rack.
  • An objective of the present invention is to overcome the above at least one technical problem, and particularly to provide a refrigerator favourable for improving space utilization.
  • an aspect of the present invention relates to a refrigerator, which includes a support plate and at least two bottle racks, wherein each bottle rack includes a receiving shell having a longitudinal groove for receiving a bottle, and a support leg extending downwards from the receiving shell and supported on the support plate; characterized in that each bottle rack includes an accommodating space extending downwards from an upper surface of the receiving shell so that one bottle rack at least partially receives a support leg of another bottle rack stacked on the one bottle rack and vice versa.
  • the support leg of the bottle rack stacked above may be at least partially inserted into the accommodating space extending downwards from the upper surface of the receiving housing, this helps to make the bottle rack stably supported above the bottle rack having the accommodating space.
  • the user may longitudinally store a bottle in a groove of the bottle rack stacked above, which facilitates the user to more flexibly use the bottle rack and may improve space utilization of the refrigerator. For example, when it is only necessary to use some bottle racks to store bottles, some unused bottle racks may be stacked to save the space.
  • Each bottle rack may have one or more grooves to respectively place wine bottles.
  • Each bottle rack may have the same number of grooves, or may have the different number of grooves, for example, one or some bottle racks have a groove, while other bottle racks may have two or more grooves.
  • a plurality of bottle racks should cover two or more bottle racks.
  • the accommodating space may include a through hole penetrating the receiving housing.
  • the accommodating space also may be formed by a concave portion, which is recessed downwards, of the receiving housing.
  • the through hole has the advantage that material can be saved.
  • the support leg of each bottle rack is disposed around the accommodating space. This means that each support leg can be stacked on another support leg in a space-saving manner.
  • the support leg of each bottle rack defines at least a part of the boundary of the accommodating space.
  • the accommodating space is located in the corresponding support leg. This provides a possibility that the accommodating space and the support leg may be formed at the same time through a simple manufacturing process and/or mould, and helps to avoid significant complication of the bottle rack.
  • the accommodating space of the one bottle rack and the support leg of the another bottle rack are disposed in a shape matching manner. This helps to stably support the bottle rack stacked above on the bottle rack below.
  • the accommodating space is tapered in a downward direction. This not only facilitates the bottle rack above to be inserted into the accommodating space of the bottle rack below, but also facilitates the support leg of the bottle rack above to be supported on an inner wall of the accommodating space.
  • the plurality of bottle racks have the same shape and size.
  • the refrigerator of the present invention therefore preferably comprises a plurality of bottle racks.
  • each of the bottle racks includes a connecting portion, the connecting portions are detachably connected to a frame connected to an edge of the support plate, and in a stacked state, the connecting portions of the bottle rack located above and the bottle rack located below are connected to the frame.
  • a receiving shell of the another bottle rack among the plurality of bottle racks is in surface contact with a pair of opposite upper edge regions of the receiving shell of the one bottle rack. This particularly helps to prevent the stacked bottle racks from shaking, thereby improving stability of the stacked bottle racks.
  • the support leg of the another bottle rack among the plurality of bottle racks is supported on an inner side of the support leg of the one bottle rack in a shape matching manner. This helps to prevent the stacked bottle racks from shaking, thereby improving stability of the stacked bottle racks.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic three-dimensional view of a combination of a shelf and a bottle rack for a refrigerator according to the present invention.
  • a shelf 1 is adapted to be mounted in a storage chamber of the refrigerator (not shown), for storing food to be cooled.
  • a plurality of bottle racks are supported on the shelf 1.
