Description

Shelving assembly and refrigeration device having same

technical field

The invention relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a shelf assembly and refrigeration equipment with the same.

Background technique

Shelves are used in traditional refrigerators to store items. When the height of the item to be placed is greater than the distance between the two shelves, the shelf can only be moved up and down to vacate the space for placing the tall item. Even, when the height of the article is higher, the shelf can only be taken out from the refrigerator, which will greatly reduce the space for placing articles of general height, making it inconvenient for users to store articles. In addition, it is troublesome and laborious to extract the shelf, which wastes the user's time. Furthermore, after the shelf is taken out of the refrigerator, the convection between the shelf and the hot air outside will be increased, the cooling capacity will be seriously lost, and more seriously, the frosting rate of the refrigerator will be increased.
