BACKGROUND

A shelf, as a main component of a freezer and a goods shelf, is configured to hold commodities and goods. However, the shelf of the existing freezer and goods shelf has a fixed and non-adjustable position, which limits the placed commodities and goods, and is extremely inconvenient to use. Therefore, an adjustable supporting apparatus for the shelf has appeared on the market. The adjustable supporting apparatus includes a slide rail and the supporting seat, the supporting seat being slidably and adjustably installed on the slide rail, and being connected to the slide rail through a locking clamping part arranged on the supporting seat to achieve locking. However, the applicant found that: loosening is easily caused after the locking clamping part and the slide rail of these existing adjustable supporting apparatuses are connected in a locked manner, resulting in poor reliability. For example, during the process of placing the commodities and goods on the shelf, due to the vibration of the shelf, the locking clamping part and the slide rail are prone to loosening, resulting in tilting or even dropping of the shelf. As a result, some manufacturers have added a metal pin to the supporting seat, that is, after the supporting seat is adjusted, and the locking clamping part and the slide rail are connected in a locked manner, the metal pin transversely passes through the supporting seat, so that the metal pin is tightly pressed and attached to the locking clamping part.

In this way, the shelf may be firmly locked on the installation position 23 of the apparatus by the locking curved bar 26, and the limiting hole 25 not only avoids the locking curved bar 26 from mistakenly rotating and unlocking, but also enables the locking curved bar 26 to move up and down more stably, thereby playing a role in limiting and guiding.


Embodiment 2

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the structure and working principle of a shelf supporting apparatus with a supporting seat having a self-locking function in Embodiment 2 of the application are basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, including a slide rail (not shown in the figure) and a supporting seat 2. The supporting seat 2 is slidably and adjustably installed on the slide rail, and is connected to the slide rail through a locking clamping part 3 arranged on the supporting seat to achieve locking. An upper end of the supporting seat 2 is provided with a shelf installation position 23. The side, close to the slide rail 1, of the installation position 23 is provided with a positioning baffle 24. The side, opposite to the positioning baffle 24, of the installation position 23 is provided with a locking curved bar 26. The locking curved bar 26 is able to move up and down and rotatably installed on the supporting seat 2. The differences from Embodiment 1 are only that: the positioning baffle 24 is provided with a protruding limit stop block 27 and two protruding limit strips 28, the protruding height of the protruding limit stop block 27 is more than 1 mm, the two protruding limit strips 28 are separated in parallel and upper ends thereof extend to the protruding limit stop block 27 to form a curved bar anti-disengagement locking groove 29. When one end of the locking curved bar 26 stretches across the installation position 23 and moves up to be clamped into the curved bar anti-disengagement locking groove 29, or is close to or reaches the protruding limit stop block 27, one end of the locking curved bar 26 abuts against a bottom surface of the curved bar anti-disengagement locking groove 29 to achieve locking. When one end of the locking curved bar 26 moves down and moves out of the curved bar anti-disengagement locking groove 29, unlocking is achieved. In this way, in Embodiment 2, the locking curved bar 26 does not need to manually pull the positioning baffle 24 backward as in Embodiment 1 in the unlocking process, and the operation is more convenient and faster, the problem of loosening caused by a violent impact of the shelf on the locking curved bar 26 due to the vibration of a freezer in the transportation process is effectively avoided, and meanwhile, the protruding limit stop block 27 and the two protruding limit strips 28 also play a role in enhancing the strength of the positioning baffle 24, so that the locking performance of the shelf is improved.


In a preferred solution of the embodiment, one end, located in the curved bar anti-disengagement locking groove 29, of the protruding limit stop block 27 is provided with a bayonet 271, the bayonet 271 is preferably a circular bayonet with a clamping port slightly less than the diameter, the two protruding limit strips 28 are respectively located on left and right sides of the bayonet 271, and the upper ends of the two protruding limit strips 28 are respectively connected to the protruding limit stop block 27 abutting against the left and right sides of the bayonet 271. When an operating part 262 of the locking curved bar 26 is operated to move the locking curved bar 26 up to be in a locked state, the end of the locking curved bar 26 is clamped into the bayonet 271, and the locking effect is stable, reliable. After a reverse operation, the locking curved bar 26 moves down and moves out of the bayonet 271, that is, unlocking is achieved, and the operation is simple, convenient and fast.


In another preferred solution of the embodiment, the protruding limit stop block 27 is an arc protruding block, and is provided with a downward inclined surface 272, configured to guide a chassis of the shelf into the shelf installation position 23 arranged on the upper end of the supporting seat 2, so that the shelf installation is more convenient.


In addition, the operating part 262 of the application is circular, as shown in FIG. 5 of Embodiment 2, and the operating part 262 is ring-shaped. Of course, the operating part in Embodiment 2 may also be designed to be circular. By using the ring operating part 262, on the one hand, holding is facilitated, and the operation is convenient, and on the other hand, the acting force of the operating part 262 on the hand during the operation is dispersed, thereby avoiding pain and improving the experience.


The above description is merely preferred implementations of the application, and it is to be noted that those of ordinary skill in the art may also make several improvements and refinements without departing from the principle of the application, and it should be considered that these improvements and refinements shall all fall within the scope of protection of the application.
