As shown in
According to the refrigerator bracket 1 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the installation cavity 14 is enclosed by the first frame 11 and the second frame 12, and the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are detachably connected, so that the number of components can be reduced, and the structure is simple, the assembly is convenient, and the production cost is low.
In some embodiments, as shown in
For example, each of the first installation sites 111 is a through hole, each of the second installation sites 121 is a threaded groove, and the fastener 13 is a threaded member that passes through the through hole and is screwed into the threaded groove. Since there are a plurality of first installation sites 111 and second installation sites 121, the firmness of the connection between the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 can be improved.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the plurality of first installation sites 111 are divided into a plurality of groups, each group of first installation sites 111 includes at least two first installation sites 111 spaced apart in a length direction of the first frame 11 (the front-to-back direction shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the height of the second side wall 116 is less than the height of the first side wall 114, so as to prevent the second side wall 116 from interfering with the installation of the fastener 13.
In some embodiments, a first installation plate 122 and a second installation plate 123 are provided at the lower end of the second frame 12, and the first installation plate 122 and the second installation plate 123 are spaced apart to define an installation space.
