Shelves and refrigerator

Abstract

A refrigerator shelf assembly includes a first shelf that is operably coupled to a second shelf by a rotating mechanism. A limiting mechanism is installed at both ends of a side of the second shelf away from the first shelf. Each limiting mechanism is operably coupled to a limiting member at a preset position of a refrigerator liner.

         18 . The refrigerator shelf assembly of  claim 16 , wherein the limiting mechanisms includes a paddle, the paddle being fixedly connected to a side wall of the plug-in rod. 
     
     
         19 . The refrigerator shelf assembly of  claim 18 ,
 a paddle mounting groove disposed on the plug-in rod mounting groove, wherein the paddle is slidably matched with the paddle mounting groove.   
     
     
         20 . A refrigerator shelf assembly comprising:
 a first shelf;   a second shelf, wherein edges of the second shelf include a sealing member; and   a rotating mechanism operably coupling the first shelf with the second shelf, the rotating mechanism comprising:
 a first rotating connecting plate; and 
 a second rotating connecting plate. 
   
     
     
         21 . The refrigerator shelf assembly of  claim 20 , wherein the first rotating connecting plate is connected to the first shelf, and wherein a shaft sleeve is installed on a side of the first rotating connecting plate away from the first shelf. 
     
     
         22 . The refrigerator shelf assembly of  claim 21 , wherein the second rotating connecting plate is connected to the second shelf, and wherein a rotating shaft is installed on a side of the second rotating connecting plate away from the second shelf. 
     
     
         23 . The refrigerator shelf assembly of  claim 22 , wherein the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the shaft sleeve. 
     
     
         24 . The refrigerator shelf assembly of  claim 20 , wherein the first and second shelves are both made of glass. 
     
     
         25 . A refrigerator comprising:
 a first shelf;   a second shelf;   a rotating mechanism operably coupling the first shelf to the second shelf; and   a limiting mechanism configured to secure the second shelf at an angled position relative to the first shelf, the limiting mechanism selectively securing the second shelf to a preset position of a refrigerator liner.   
     
     
         26 . The refrigerator of  claim 25 , further comprising:
 a rib for securing the shelf arranged inside the refrigerator liner.   
     
     
         27 . The refrigerator of  claim 25 , wherein the limiting member comprises a first limiting hole and a second limiting hole, the first and second limiting holes being opened on side walls of the refrigerator liner along a width direction inside the refrigerator liner. 
     
     
         28 . The refrigerator of  claim 27 , wherein the limiting mechanism is detachably coupled to the first and second limiting holes, the first limiting hole cooperating with the limiting mechanism so the second shelf extends horizontally and abuts against the first shelf, and wherein the first shelf is located above or below the second shelf. 
     
     
         29 . The refrigerator of  claim 28 , wherein an edge of the second shelf is covered with a sealing member.
