Abstract

A support component for a tray component of a refrigeration appliance includes an outer frame, an inner frame, and a reinforcing member. The outer frame has a first open end, the first open end is configured for inserting at least one part of the reinforcing member into the outer frame. The inner frame is connected to the outer frame and at least one part of the reinforcing member is located between the inner frame and the outer frame. The support component with such a structure reduces the probability that the partial structure of a frame is damaged due to the compression of a reinforcing member. The tray component and the refrigeration appliance having the support component have a high product yield and are not likely to fall apart.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A support component, comprising:
 an inner frame;   a reinforcing member; and   an outer frame having a first open end, said first open end configured for inserting at least one part of said reinforcing member into said outer frame, said inner frame connected to said outer frame, and at least one part of said reinforcing member is disposed between said inner frame and said outer frame.   
     
     
         2 . The support component according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 said outer frame has a clamping portion; and   said inner frame has a clamp-fitting portion adapted to said clamping portion, and said inner frame is engaged with said outer frame through said clamping portion and said clamp-fitting portion.   
     
     
         3 . The support component according to  claim 2 , wherein said outer frame further contains a first side wall, and at least one part of said reinforcing member is disposed between said clamping portion and said first side wall. 
     
     
         4 . The support component according to  claim 2 , wherein:
 said outer frame further contains a first bottom wall and/or a first top wall;   said clamping portion contains a protrusion disposed on said first top wall and/or said first bottom wall;   said clamp-fitting portion has a flange extending downward and/or upward; and   said outer frame and/or said inner frame are configured to have deformability, to deform under an action of an external force to cause said flange to cross over said protrusion, and said protrusion clamps said flange between said protrusion and said reinforcing member after the external force is removed.   
     
     
         5 . The support component according to  claim 3 , wherein said reinforcing member is inserted between said first side wall and said clamping portion from said first open end. 
     
     
         6 . The support component according to  claim 1 , wherein said inner frame has a second side wall facing said reinforcing member, a first protruding rib extending toward said reinforcing member and disposed on said second side wall, and said first protruding rib abuts against said reinforcing member. 
     
     
         7 . The support component according to  claim 6 , wherein:
 said inner frame has a second bottom wall; and   said outer frame contains a first bottom wall, a second protruding rib extending toward said first bottom wall and disposed on said second bottom wall, and said second protruding rib abuts against said first bottom wall.   
     
     
         8 . The support component according to  claim 7 , wherein an extension direction of said second protruding rib is consistent with a direction in which said inner frame is connected to said outer frame. 
     
     
         9 . The support component according to  claim 4 , wherein said outer frame has a second open end and said second open end is configured for inserting at least one part of said inner frame into said outer frame. 
     
     
         10 . A tray component, comprising:
 two said support components according to  claim 1 ; and   a separation plate having two sides that are respectively connected to said inner frames and/or said outer frames of said two support components.   
     
     
         11 . A refrigeration appliance, comprising:
 a box body having at least one storage cavity; and   said tray component according to  claim 10 , wherein said separation plate is configured to separate said at least one storage cavity of the refrigeration appliance, said reinforcing member having a connecting portion extending out of said outer frame and said inner frame, and said connecting portion is connected to said box body of the refrigeration appliance.
