Detailed ways

Please refer to Figures 1 to 6, the utility model discloses a foldable shelf 100 that can be used in household appliances (not shown), wherein the household appliances are provided with a storage space, and the foldable shelf The shelf 100 is disposed in the storage space for placing items. The household appliance is a refrigerator, or a freezer, or other household appliances.

The folding rack 100 includes a shelf 1 , a baffle 2 pivotally connected to the shelf 1 , and two torsion springs 3 installed between the shelf 1 and the baffle 2 . In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, there are two torsion springs 3 , but in other embodiments, there may be only one torsion spring 3 .

The shelf board 1 is roughly flat and has side edges 10 on both sides. The storage space of the household appliance is provided with slots for receiving the sides, so that the folding shelf 100 can be installed in place. In the illustrated embodiment of the utility model, the shelf 1 includes two stoppers 11 located on both sides of its front end to prevent the baffle 2 from over-rotating. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the shelf board 1 is provided with pivots 12 located on both sides of the front end.

The baffle plate 2 is roughly flat, as shown in FIG. 1 , and has a first notch 21 at the lower end and a second notch 22 at the middle of the upper end. The first notch 21 is convenient for fingers to move (for example, pull outward) the foldable shelf 100 . In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the first notch 21 is located in the middle of the lower end, and is vertically symmetrical with the second notch 22 . The second notch 22 is convenient for turning the baffle plate 2 with left or right hand force. In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the first and second notches 22 are semicircular, and of course other shapes can also be designed in other embodiments.

Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the baffle plate 2 is provided with a pressing portion 23 matched with the stop portion 11 . The pressing portion 23 includes a first pressing surface 231 , a second pressing surface 232 perpendicular to the first pressing surface 231 , and connecting the first pressing surface 231 and the second pressing surface 232 The arc surface 233, wherein the first pressing surface 231 is used to press against the stop portion 11 to limit the baffle plate 2 at the vertical position; the second pressing surface 232 Press against the stopper 11 to limit the baffle 2 at the horizontal position; the arc surface 233 cooperates with the stopper 11 to facilitate the rotation of the baffle 2 . The baffle 2 is provided with a pivot hole 24 at least partially accommodating the pivot 12 , and the pivot 12 can rotate in the pivot hole 24 .

Please refer to FIG. 3 to FIG. 6, the torsion spring 3 includes a coil spring portion 31 sleeved on the pivot shaft 12, a first force application portion 32 extending from one end of the coil spring portion 31, And the second force applying portion 33 extending from the other end of the coil spring portion 31 . The first force applying portion 32 acts on the shelf 1 , so that the baffle 2 is in a vertical position under the torsion force of the torsion spring 3 itself (as shown in FIG. 1 ). The first force-applying portion 32 can be inserted into the shelf 1 or abut against the shelf 1 . At this time, since the first pressing surface 231 is pressed against the stop portion 11 , the baffle plate 2 can be kept at the vertical position. In the state of the vertical position, the baffle plate 2 is perpendicular to the shelf board 1 .

The second force applying portion 33 acts on the baffle 2 . The second force applying portion 33 can be inserted into the baffle 2 or abut against the baffle 2 . Please refer to FIG. 2 , the baffle plate 2 can rotate from the vertical position to a horizontal position under the action of external force. In the state of the horizontal position, the baffle plate 2 is flush with the shelf board 1 . Now, the baffle plate 2 can be used as a temporary platform for placing other items temporarily on the expanded platform of the baffle plate 2 when rummaging for items, so as to take out desired items more quickly. At this time, since the second pressing surface 232 is pressed against the stop portion 11, the baffle plate 2 can be kept at the horizontal position, even if a heavy item is placed at this time, due to the stopper As a result, the baffle plate 2 also remains horizontal.

In the illustrated embodiment of the utility model, by setting the stopper 11, the baffle 2 can be limited to rotate within the range of 0° to 90°, so as to better control the baffle 2 .

When the foldable shelf 100 is used in a refrigerator, in a normal state, the baffle plate 2 is in a vertical position and is close to the door, and the first notch 21 is convenient for fingers to move during use (for example, to pull out) the foldable shelf 100. At this time, since the baffle plate 2 is erected, it has the function of slowing down the loss of cold air and saving energy.

When an external force acts on the baffle 2 , the baffle 2 turns over to a horizontal position aligned with the shelf 1 , and at this time the baffle 2 becomes an extension of the shelf 1 . Since the shelving area is enlarged, it is convenient for the user to take out the desired items faster, shortens the time for the cold air in the refrigerator to be lost, and achieves the purpose of energy saving. The second notch 22 is convenient for applying force to rotate the baffle plate 2 . In addition, the first and second gaps 21 and 22 have little effect on the loss of cold air, but are more conducive to the flow and cooling of cold air in each space of the cabinet and save material costs. In addition, if there are multiple shelf boards 1 , the distance between the shelf boards 1 can be adjusted accordingly by moving up and down appropriately without affecting the function of the baffle plate 2 .

To sum up, the foldable shelf 100 of the present invention has a simple structure, low cost, and is convenient for production and daily use. No matter in terms of cost, production, or use efficiency, the design can satisfy the practical feasibility at the same time.

It should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the utility model rather than limit the technical solution described in the utility model, although the specification has described the utility model in detail with reference to the above-mentioned embodiment, but those skilled in the art Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that those skilled in the art can still modify or equivalently replace the utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the utility model should be covered by the rights of the utility model. within the required range.
