Storage unit and refrigeration appliance with same

Abstract

The invention relates to a storage unit and a refrigeration appliance with the same. The storage unit (7) comprises a main body (8) and a drawer type door (10), wherein the main body (8) defines a storage room (15); and the drawer type door is used for selectively opening or closing the storage room (15) and can slosh in a sloshing range in the process that the door (10) is pushed toward the body (8) to close the storage room (15). The storage unit is characterized by comprising positioning mechanisms (51, 52), wherein the positioning mechanisms are used for positioning the door (10) in a fixed position or a fixed range smaller than the sloshing range when the door (10) is closed.

Description

[technical field] [0001] The present invention relates to a storage unit and a refrigeration appliance with the storage unit, in particular to a storage unit with an openable door for a refrigeration appliance and a household or commercial refrigeration appliance with the storage unit. [Background technique] [0002] Chinese patent application CN 1013243942 A discloses a refrigeration appliance with a low-pressure storage unit (also called a "vacuum storage unit"). The low-pressure storage unit includes a main body defining a storage room with a food access opening and a door for opening and closing the access opening. A sealing element around the access opening is provided between the door and the main body to make the low-pressure storage unit form a vacuum seal, so that when the storage room is closed, the gas in the storage room can be sucked away by a suction device such as a vacuum pump to make the storage room Keep the low pressure state, and can prolong the storage ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This increases the occupied volume of the low-pressure storage unit and reduces the volume utilization of the refrigeration appliance. On the other hand, the exposed handle bar in front of the storage unit is not conducive to aesthetic considerations

[0005] In addition, the second matching part is arranged on the outside of the side wall of the main body. When the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the first matching part extends from the door to the outside of the main body. A sufficient distance is required to place the locking mechanism to reduce the space utilization rate of the refrigeration appliance, and the first matching portion extending backward from the door to the outside of the main body will also affect the overall appearance of the refrigeration appliance

[0006] In addition, the movable first matching part overlaps with the second matching part in the moving direction of the door at least in one position, so during the closing process of the door, the first matching part may collide with the second matching part and cause the lock to lock. damage to the tight mechanism

[0007] Also, a certain gap needs to be maintained between the tray connected behind the door and the main body so that the tray can be pushed into or pulled out of the main body smoothly, which causes the door and the tray to shake when the door is opened or closed. When the door is closed, the docking position between the door and the main body will change due to the existence of the above-mentioned gap, which may not only affect the appearance of the storage unit, but also may affect the positioning of the sealing element between the door and the main body and It may cause the first matching part and the second matching part to be unable to be positioned and locked accurately, so that the user may need to try and adjust many times before putting the door in a proper position
