Problems solved by technology

At present, most of the existing air-cooled refrigerators for freezing and temperature-changing storage rooms use pullable drawer-type compartments. In order to facilitate the storage and retrieval of food, these drawers all adopt open drawer buckets. The biggest drawback of this type of refrigerator is the space The chamber cannot be kept sealed, and the circulating cold air directly contacts the storage, making the storage unable to keep...

Example Embodiment

[0030] Examples:
[0031] Such as Figure 1-8 As shown, the present embodiment provides an air-cooled refrigerator, including a temperature changing room, a refrigerating room, and a freezing room. At least one pull-out compartment is provided inside the compartment, and a drawer assembly with a sealing function and an inner lining 3 are arranged in the compartment. , Wherein the drawer assembly includes a drawer bucket 1 and a sealing cover 2 arranged above it. The front and rear sides of the sealing cover 2 are respectively provided with pulleys 21, and the outer edges of the two sides of the drawer bucket 1 respectively form a drawing parallel to the drawer bucket 1. In the direction of the groove rail, the pulley 21 and the groove rail form a movable matching relationship, so that the pulley 21 can move along the groove rail on both sides of the drawer bucket 1.
[0032] The front and rear ends of each groove rail of the drawer 1 respectively form a downwardly recessed first limiting groove, and the lowest point of the lower part of the pulley 21 is lower than the lower plane of the cover plate of the sealing cover 2, when the pulley 21 falls into the drawer 1 In the first limit slot, the lower bottom surface of the cover plate of the sealing cover 2 contacts the upper end surface of the drawer hopper 1 to form a sealed fit, and the sealing cover 2 and the drawer hopper 1 form a sealed storage space to realize the sealed storage of the stored items contained therein. , Make it moisturizing, not easy to be air-dried, and not easy to smell.
[0033] Preferably, along the outer surface of the groove rails on both sides of the drawer bucket 1, a vertical shielding vertical edge perpendicular to the moving direction of the pulley 21 can also be formed. The groove rails are on the inner side of the shielding vertical edge. When the pulley 21 falls into the first part of the drawer bucket 1. In the limit slot, even if the pulley 21 is not completely attached to the first limit slot of the drawer 1, resulting in a slight gap between the pulley 21 and the first limit slot, the upper end surface of the shielding vertical edge can still be contacted with the lower bottom surface of the cover. It can effectively ensure that the storage is isolated from the cooling air outside the drawer assembly, so that the sealing cover 2 and the drawer bucket 1 can be sealed, and the sealing performance of the drawer assembly is enhanced.
[0034] Preferably, the diameter of the pulley 21 is larger than the thickness of the cover plate of the sealing cover 2, so that the lowest point on the outer side of the pulley 21 can contact the groove rails on both sides of the drawer bucket 1, thereby realizing relative movement.
[0035] A continuous limit slide is formed on the upper part of the lining 3, and a plurality of second limit grooves are formed on the limit slide, and the limit points of different heights of the limit slide are formed. Correspondingly, the sealing cover 2 A limit post 22 protruding in the direction of the inner liner 3 on both sides of the box is respectively provided on both sides. When installing the sealing cover 2, the sealing cover 2 is directly inserted into the upper part of the inner liner 3 first, and then the front end limit post 22 of the sealing cover 2 is clamped into the second limit groove to realize the installation and positioning of the sealing cover 2.
[0036] Preferably, in this embodiment, two second limiting slots of different heights are formed on the limiting slide of the inner lining 3, including a second limiting slot A31 and a second limiting slot B32. Further preferably, the depth of the second limiting groove A31 is greater than the depth of the second limiting groove B32. When the limiting column 22 is in the second limiting groove A31, the pulley 21 falls into the limiting groove of the drawer bucket 1, and the sealing cover 2 The bottom surface of the cover plate contacts with the upper edge of the vertical side of the drawer bucket 1 to form a sealed fit, so that the entire drawer assembly is in a sealed state; when the limit post 22 is in the second limit slot B32, the sealing cover 2 cover plate and the drawer bucket 1 A gap is formed between the horizontal and vertical directions, so that the entire drawer assembly is in an unsealed state. Users can choose to store them in an unsealed state according to their storage requirements. Further, the user can conveniently switch between the sealed state and the unsealed state of the drawer assembly according to the storage requirements of the stored items.
[0037] Preferably, the depth of the second limiting groove A31 is greater than the height of the limiting pillar 22. When the drawer 1 is pulled out, the pulley 21 moves backwards relative to the drawer 1, and slides out from the first limit groove to the groove rail. The sealing cover 2 is lifted upward, but due to the second limit groove The depth of A31 is greater than the height of the limit post 22, and the limit post 22 does not slide out of the second limit slot A31. Due to the lateral restriction of the second limit slot A31, the sealing cover 2 can only move up and down, and cannot Moving back and forth horizontally, the sealing cover 2 does not need to be manually operated, and automatically stays in the refrigerator compartment when the drawer is pulled out. After the drawer 1 is opened, it becomes an open storage space without a cover. Putting in and taking out storage items.
[0038] Preferably, a limit post 22 is provided on both sides of the sealing cover 2, and the position of the limit post 22 is between the front and rear pulleys 21.
[0039] Preferably, the limit post 22 is an elastic limit post 22. When it is placed at the limit point, it stretches to be stuck at the limit point, and when it is moved out of the limit point, it is compressed by the second limit groove to the second limit position. The movement in the slot makes the movement of the limiting post 22 between the second limiting slot A31 and the second limiting slot B32 easier and easier for users to operate.
[0040] Preferably, during the refrigeration process of the refrigerator, when the drawer assembly is in a sealed state, the cold air sent into the compartment will fill the outside of the drawer assembly, and conduct internal and external temperature conduction through the outer wall of the drawer assembly, instead of directly acting on the storage, which can make the drawer The temperature changes uniformly in the components, and the storage effect of the storage items is evenly cooled.
[0041] In the air-cooled refrigerator provided in this embodiment, pulleys 21 and limit posts 22 are provided on both sides of the cover plate of the drawer assembly sealing cover. The drawer bucket 1 is provided with first limit grooves on both sides. When the sealing function is required, the seal The pulley 21 of the cover 2 falls into the first limit slot of the drawer bucket 1, so that the two form a sealed storage space, so that the stored contents are moisturized, not air-dried, and do not smell, which effectively solves the problem that the stored items cannot be moisturized , Easy to air dry, easy to smell; set the second limit grooves of different heights on the limit slide of the refrigerator lining, and realize the sealing of the drawer components by moving the limit posts between the second limit grooves of different heights The transition between the non-sealed state and the unsealed state, with large storage space and easy operation, can well meet the needs of users for classified storage.
