Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of refrigerators, and in particular to a refrigerator comprising a storage device located in a refrigeration compartment, the storage device comprising a container body and a cover.

BACKGROUND

[0002] With the popularity of refrigerators in people's daily life, more and more people begin to use refrigerators to store vegetables, fruits, and meat and other food.

[0003] For cosmetics, medicines, and tea, people also have a higher demand for low-temperature storage. However, the open drawer or container cannot meet the storage needs of these items, which can easily cause mutual odor mixing and affect food hygiene.

SUMMARY

[0004] An object of the present application is to provide an improved refrigerator.

[0005] One aspect of the present application relates to a refrigerator comprising a refrigeration compartment and a storage device located in the refrigeration compartment, wherein the storage device comprises a container body having a receiving space, the container body comprising an upward opening for accessing the receiving space; an internal storage article located in the container body; and a box body slidably supported on the internal storage article, and the box body is adapted to slide in a first direction and a second direction to be in different upper and lower stacked positions with the internal storage article, wherein the first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0006] The above scheme can provide more storage possibilities for users, which is beneficial to reduce the restrictions on the placement of articles in the storage device. At the same time, the present scheme can facilitate the taking and placing of articles.

[0007] For example, for articles with a large length dimension, the user can place them along the depth direction of the container body or along the width direction of the container body according to their own preferences. Subsequently, when taking the article, only need to slide along the first direction or the second direction, without the need to disassemble the box body.

[0008] In addition, some users are particularly not like the movement of the box body or components in the container body during the process of pulling out or pushing the storage device into the refrigeration compartment. The above scheme provides a way to reduce or even avoid the movement of the box body during the above process. At least one of the first direction and the second direction is inconsistent with the pushing and pulling direction of the storage device relative to the refrigeration compartment, and the user selects to place the box body in this direction is beneficial to reduce or avoid the movement of the box body during the above process.

[0009] In one or more possible embodiments, the box is rotated 90 degrees around its hollow axis from the first direction to the second direction. This facilitates the user to adjust the sliding direction of the box. When the box is in a direction that is not conducive to the taking and placing of the items in the built-in storage, the user can directly pick up the box, rotate it 90 degrees around its hollow axis, and then place it on the built-in storage without the need to find another place to temporarily put the box.

[0010] In one or more possible embodiments, the storage device is adapted to be pulled out of or pushed into the refrigeration compartment, the first direction is the pushing and pulling direction of the storage device relative to the refrigeration compartment, and the second direction is perpendicular to the pushing and pulling direction of the storage device relative to the refrigeration compartment.

[0011] When the pushing and pulling direction of the storage device relative to the refrigeration compartment and the sliding direction of the box are consistent, the box may, to some extent, slide due to inertia during the process of pulling out or pushing into the refrigeration compartment, which may cause noise due to impact of the box or the items in the box. When the sliding direction of the box is perpendicular to the pushing and pulling direction of the storage device relative to the refrigeration compartment, it is conducive to greatly reducing the possibility of the above-mentioned noise generation, reducing the movement of the box, and reducing the shaking and dumping of the items in the box.

[0012] In one or more possible embodiments, the box and the built-in storage are open at the top in the first direction and the second direction. This is more convenient for the user to observe or directly take and place the items stored in the box and the built-in storage through the opening.

[0013] In order to reduce the box in one or more possible embodiments, the box is transparent. This is conducive to reducing the obstruction of the box to the items located directly below it, and facilitating the user to more intuitively observe the items in the storage device.

[0014] In one or more possible embodiments, the built-in storage defines at least one middle storage area and two side wing storage areas located on both sides of the middle storage area in the container body, and the distance between the box in the second direction and the taking and placing opening into the side wing storage area is variable with the sliding of the box. Thus, the box in the second direction can be conducive to reducing the obstruction or interference of the box to the taking and placing opening of the side wing storage area, thereby reducing the limitation on the shape and size of the side wing storage area, such as the side wing storage area can be provided in a narrow and long structure. When taking items from the side wing storage area, the box only needs to be slid in the direction away from the taking and placing opening.

[0015] In one or more embodiments, the storage device further comprises a cover slidably connected to the container body, the container body comprises two opposite first side walls and two opposite second side walls, the two first side walls are connected with a protruding wall extending inwardly of the container body at one end close to the opening, the protruding wall is configured as two tracks for the cover to slide, and the box body slides between the two tracks. This can reduce the obstruction of the tracks to the box body, so that the user can directly put or take the articles into or from the box body through the opening at any position of the box body in the first direction or the second direction without the need to slide the box body out from under the tracks first.

[0016] In one or more embodiments, the storage device further comprises a cover slidably connected to the container body, the container body comprises two opposite first side walls, the two first side walls are connected with a protruding wall extending inwardly of the container body at one end close to the opening, the protruding wall is configured as two tracks for the cover to slide, and the side wing storage area is at least partially located directly below the tracks, the access opening to the side wing storage area extends in the height direction of the container body, and the box body is adapted to slide in the second direction away from the access opening. Thus, the box body does not constitute an obstacle to access or enter the access opening, and the access opening is fully exposed for taking or placing articles from or into the side wing storage area.

[0017] In one or more embodiments, the access opening and the projection of the box body in the second direction at least partially overlap. That is, the access opening extends in the height direction of the box body. Thus, a larger access opening is formed to facilitate taking or placing articles. At the same time, the space directly below the tracks is also fully utilized for storage, improving the utilization rate of the storage space.

[0018] In one or more embodiments, the built-in storage element comprises a bottom plate and at least one first side plate connected to the bottom plate and extending in the height direction of the container body, and the first side plate is configured as at least one guide rail for the box body to slide. The box body can slide on a pair of guide rails formed by a pair of first side plates, or on a pair of guide rails formed by one first side plate and one located on the side wall of the container body.

[0019] In one or more embodiments, the built-in storage element comprises a middle storage area and two side wing storage areas located on both sides of the middle storage area in the second direction, and at least two first side plates for defining the middle storage area are configured as guide rails for the box body to slide.

[0020] In one or more embodiments, the intermediate storage area extends along a portion of the height of the container body, the intermediate storage area is divided into a first sub-storage area and a second sub-storage area by a first side panel, the second sub-storage area has the same size in the first direction and the second direction, such that the box is adapted to slide over the second sub-storage area in the first direction and the second direction, and the box is stopped by the first side panel to be limited above the second sub-storage area. Limiting the box above the second sub-storage area, on the one hand, reduces the obstruction of the box to the first sub-storage area, which can be configured as an area for storing daily use cosmetics or skin care products, and the second sub-storage area is configured as an area for storing stock cosmetics or skin care products. In this way, there is no need to slide the box every day to take the cosmetics, reducing the frequency of sliding the box. On the other hand, the possibility of pinching the hand during sliding the box is reduced, because there is a first sub-storage area between the box and the inner wall of the container body in the first direction.

[0021] In one or more embodiments, the bottom surface of the box is provided with a pair of limiting portions extending downward, each of the limiting portions is adjacent to one of the first side panels in the use state of the box, so as to limit the box on the guide rail. Thus, the possibility of the box falling off the rail is reduced.

[0022] In one or more embodiments, the limiting portion extends downward along an edge of the bottom surface of the box inside the edge.

[0023] In one or more embodiments, a protruding buffer is arranged on the built-in storage, which is used to elastically contact the box when the box slides to an extreme position.

[0024] In one or more embodiments, a buffer is arranged at the position where one of the first side panels meets the other first side panel, so that one of the buffers elastically contacts the box when the box slides to an extreme position in the first direction and the second direction, respectively. That is, one buffer is used to elastically contact the limiting portion when the box slides to an extreme position in the first direction, and is also used to elastically contact the limiting portion when the box slides to an extreme position in the second direction. One buffer has two functions, which is conducive to reducing the number of buffers.

[0025] In one or more embodiments, the bottom surface of the box is provided with a boss protruding from the bottom surface, which supports on the built-in storage when the box slides.

[0026] It should be noted that the features of the dependent claims can be combined with each other in any way and with the features of the independent claims without departing from the concept of the application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] In order to have a further understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of the present application, the embodiments are described in detail as follows.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 ​This is a schematic diagram of a refrigerator according to an embodiment, with one of its doors in the open position. The refrigerator 1 of this embodiment includes an open body 2 and a door 3 for opening and closing the body 2. The inner wall of the body 2 defines at least one cooling compartment 4. Figure 1 The refrigerator 1 exemplarily illustrates a side-by-side refrigerator 1, which includes two refrigeration compartments 4 distributed on the left and right. The refrigeration compartment 4 on the left is used for freezing items, and the refrigeration compartment 4 on the right is used for refrigerating items. However, the refrigeration compartment 4 on the right can also be designed as a zero-degree compartment, specifically for preserving fruits or vegetables. The door 3 closes the refrigeration compartment 4 from the front, and the refrigeration compartment 4 can be accessed when the door 3 is opened. Figure 1 The refrigeration room on the left side is closed by door 3.

[0050] The refrigerator 1 includes a storage device 6 located within the refrigeration compartment 4. In this embodiment, the storage device 6 is exemplarily located within the refrigeration compartment 4 on the right side for refrigerating items, and the storage device 6 is provided in the refrigeration compartment 4 in a pull-out manner.

[0051] The refrigeration compartment 4 may include multiple shelves 5 or partitions such as glass partitions to divide the space into multiple receiving spaces. In this embodiment, the storage device 6 is exemplary located in one of the receiving spaces that is adapted to it. To make it easier for users to pull out or remove the storage device 6, the storage device 6 is located in the middle or lower part of the refrigerator 1 in the height direction.

[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, where Figure 3 A perspective view of a storage device with its lid open, according to one embodiment; Figure 4 This is a top view of a storage device according to an embodiment with the lid open. The storage device 6 includes a container body 8 having a receiving space 80 and a lid 9. The container body 8 includes an opening 8a for accessing the receiving space 80. The lid 9 is movable relative to the container body 8 to open or close the opening 8a, thereby opening and closing the receiving space 80.

[0053] In this embodiment, the lid 9 is slidably connected to the container body 8, and the container body 8 is provided with a pair of tracks 90 for the lid 9 to slide. Furthermore, the lid 9 is detachably connected to the container body 8. That is, the lid 9 of this embodiment can be removed from the container body 8 without damaging either the container body 8 or the lid 9. The lid 9 is removed by slightly lifting it upwards along the height direction of the container body 8 while it is in the closed state, and then sliding it forward until it detaches from the container body 8.

[0054] Storage unit 8 can seal and store items. Compared to ordinary drawers 7 located in the refrigeration compartment 4, items in storage unit 8 are less likely to cross-contaminate with other items in the refrigeration compartment 4, reducing bacterial intrusion to some extent. Therefore, storage unit 8 has an advantage over ordinary drawers 7 in terms of preservation and freshness protection. Cosmetics and precious items such as virginity and tea are more suitable for storage in storage unit 8.

[0055] The container body 8 includes two opposing first sidewalls 81 and two opposing second sidewalls 82. The two first sidewalls 81 and the two second sidewalls 82 are respectively connected to the bottom wall 85 of the container body 8 and arranged around the bottom wall 85. Figure 3 As shown, the storage device 6 in this embodiment is basically rectangular. In use, the two first side walls 81 are the left and right side walls of the container body 8, respectively, and the two second side walls 82 are the front and rear side walls of the container body 8, respectively. A handle groove 800 for pulling out the container body 8 is provided on the front side wall. The bottom wall 85 has an undulating structure 850 to enhance the strength of the bottom plate 85. The undulating structure 850 also facilitates drainage.

[0056] Two first sidewalls 81 are connected to convex walls 810 extending into the inside of the container body 8 at one end near the opening 8a. The two convex walls 810 are configured to form two tracks 90 for the lid 9 to slide.

[0057] The cover 9 may include a cover body 910 and a frame 920. The cover body 910 is made of at least semi-transparent glass so that when the cover 9 is closed, the user can observe the interior of the storage device 6, such as the items placed in the storage device 6 or how much of the storage space 80 is occupied, to decide whether to open the cover 9. The cover 9 is slidably supported on two tracks 90. To make the cover 9 slide more smoothly, rollers 93 may be provided on the cover 9 and / or the tracks 90. The bottom surface of the frame 920 is provided with a flexible seal (not shown) to enhance the sealing effect of the storage device 6.

[0058] The storage device 6 also includes a built-in storage component 10, which is located within the container body 8 to define at least two storage compartments. This partitions the accommodating space 80 of the container body 8 to accommodate corresponding items and helps reduce the shaking of items within the container body 8 during the pulling and unpulling of the storage device 6. The built-in storage component 10 itself has a storage function, allowing items to be placed within it.

[0059] like Figure 4 to Figure 6 As shown, Figure 4 A top view of a storage device according to an embodiment with the lid open; Figure 5 A perspective view of an embodiment of the built-in storage unit separated from each other; Figure 6Fig. 6 is a schematic view showing the assembled state of the built-in storage article of the embodiment. In the embodiment, the built-in storage article 10 includes three separable storage assemblies, so that the three storage assemblies can be sequentially inserted into or taken out of the container body 8 through the opening 8a. The three storage assemblies are defined as a first storage assembly 100, a second storage assembly 200, and a third storage assembly 300. When the built-in storage article 10 is located in the container body 8, four storage compartments 11 to 13 are defined, which are open at the top. The storage compartments are not overlapped in the height direction Z of the container body 8.

[0060] Since the structure of each storage assembly cannot be clearly shown when located in the container body, the structure of each storage assembly is shown separately. Figure 5 and Figure 6 Fig. 7 is a schematic view showing the structure of the first storage assembly 100, the structure of the second storage assembly 200, and the structure of the third storage assembly 300, and the assembled state of the three storage assemblies in the container body 8.

[0061] The first storage assembly 100, the second storage assembly 200, and the third storage assembly 300 are located in the container body 8 in a manner that they are limited in the width direction X of the container body 8. That is, as shown in Fig. 7, the third storage assembly 300 can limit the first storage assembly 100 from moving to the right. The first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 can limit the third storage assembly 300 from moving to the left and to the right, respectively. The third storage assembly 300 can limit the second storage assembly 200 from moving to the left. In other words, in the width direction X of the container body 8, the first storage assembly 100, the second storage assembly 200, and the third storage assembly 300 are all immovable. Figure 4

[0062] Of course, in the actual product, a movement distance of 1 mm to 2 mm in the width direction X of the container body 8 of the third storage assembly 300 is acceptable due to the machining tolerance.

[0063] The container body 8 defines a receiving space 80 with the inner wall 8b thereof, and the opening 8a for accessing the receiving space 80 faces upward. Since the first side wall 81 is connected with the convex wall 810 extending toward the inner side of the container body 8, the orthographic projection of the receiving space 80 on the plane of the opening 8a is located outside the opening 8a (see Figs. 6 and 7). Figure 10 and Figure 13

[0064] In the use state, the orthographic projection of the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 on the plane of the opening 8a is located outside the opening 8a, and the orthographic projection of the third storage assembly 300 on the plane of the opening 8a is located inside the opening 8a (see Fig. 6). Figure 13 ​​​

[0065] Such improvement, the built-in storage 10 can make full use of the container body 8 to store items in the storage space 80, the part of the storage space 80 outside the opening 8a is utilized, and there is no waste of the storage space 80. At the same time, through the separable storage assembly, the built-in storage 10 is easy to install in the container body 8, and also easy to be detached from the container body 8, so as to clean the container body 8 or the built-in storage 10.

[0066] On the other hand, when the built-in storage 10 is installed in the container body, four storage compartments can be defined, which is more convenient for storing different shapes and / or sizes of items, which will be described later. When the user has other needs, such as storing a large volume of items, the built-in storage 10 can be detached from the container body 8, and the large volume of items can be directly placed in the container body 8. It can be seen that the storage device 8 provides users with more storage options and can meet more storage needs of users.

[0067] In this embodiment, the two convex walls 810 are configured as two tracks 90 for the sliding of the cover 9. The first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 are located directly below the tracks 90, and the third storage assembly 300 is located between the two tracks 90. The first storage assembly 100, the second storage assembly 200, and the third storage assembly 300 are limited to each other in the direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the cover 9.

[0068] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the first storage assembly 100, the second storage assembly 200, and the third storage assembly 300 are arranged in the container body 8 in sequence and side by side in the direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the cover 9.

[0069] The installation of the built-in storage 10 and the structure of each storage assembly will be described below. Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 for reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 , among them, Figure 7 is a schematic view of the storage device of an embodiment in the process of placing the second storage assembly in the container body; Figure 8 is a schematic view of the storage device of an embodiment in the process of placing the third storage assembly in the container body.

[0070] As shown in Figure 7 , the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 are placed against the first side wall 81 respectively. As shown in Figure 8 , then, the third storage assembly 300 is placed between the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200. When the cover 9 has been detached from the container body 8, the third storage assembly 300 can be placed as shown in Figure 8The third storage assembly 300 is placed in the container body 8 vertically via the opening 8a. When the cover 9 is connected to the container body, each storage assembly can be inclined at an angle along the depth direction of the container body 8 when placed to be placed in the container body via the opening 8a.

[0071] When the third storage assembly 300 is placed, the third storage assembly 300 is clamped between the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200. Thus, the first storage assembly 100, the second storage assembly 200 and the third storage assembly 300 are located in the container body 8 in a manner of limiting each other in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the cover 9. The first storage assembly 100, the second storage assembly 200 and the third storage assembly 300 respectively contact the inner wall 8b of the container body 8 in the sliding direction of the cover 9. Therefore, during the movement of the storage device 6, such as during the pulling out or pushing into of the storage device 6 into the refrigeration compartment 4, or during the transportation of the refrigerator 1, each storage assembly is not moved in the container body 8.

[0072] Further, the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 respectively abut the rails 90. The first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 are respectively limited by the rails 90 in the height direction Z of the container body 8 (see Figure 13 ).

[0073] Since the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 are partially located directly below the rails 90, and the third storage assembly 300 is located between the two rails 90, the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 are placed first, and then the third storage assembly 300 is placed. This not only maximizes the accommodation space 80, but also facilitates the placement of each storage assembly, and facilitates the installation and disassembly of the built-in storage 10. Otherwise, in order to facilitate the installation or disassembly of the built-in storage 10, a part of the accommodation space 80, for example, the part of the accommodation space 80 located directly below the rails 90, is sacrificed.

[0074] The first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 of the embodiment are mirror-symmetric in structure. When the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 are in the container body 8, they are also mirror-symmetric.

[0075] The first storage assembly 100, the second storage assembly 200 and the third storage assembly 300 are spliced together in the container body 8 along a horizontal direction, that is, along the width direction x of the container body 8 or along a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the cover 9. This can save the material for manufacturing the built-in storage 10 and save costs. In addition, this can make the built-in storage 10 have a uniform wall thickness, which is conducive to obtaining a sense of integrity after the installation of each storage assembly in the container body, and is conducive to improving the visual effect of the built-in storage and the container body being integrated.

[0076] The third storage assembly 300 is in the shape of an open box, which includes a bottom plate 310 and a plurality of first side plates 321 to 323 connected to the bottom plate 310 and extending to one side of the bottom plate 310. The plurality of first side plates and the bottom plate 310 define two top-open storage compartments 11 and 12.

[0077] One of the first side plates 321 is joined with the first storage assembly 100 to define one of the top-open storage compartments 13 in the container body 8, and the other of the first side plates 321 is joined with the second storage assembly 200 to define the other of the top-open storage compartments 13 in the container body 8.

[0078] In particular, the first side plate 321 facing the first storage assembly 100 extends along a part of the height of the container body 8 to form a larger access opening 130 into the corresponding storage compartment 13 of the first storage assembly 100. The first side plate 321 facing the second storage assembly 200 also extends along a part of the height of the container body 8 to form a larger access opening 130 into the corresponding storage compartment 13 of the second storage assembly 200 (see Figure 6 and Figure 13 ). The access opening 130 extends not only in the width direction X of the container body 8 but also in the height direction Z of the container body 8.

[0079] As shown in Figure 6 , the first side plates 322 and 323 also extend along a part of the height of the container body 8, and each of the first side plates is of the same height. That is, the third storage assembly 300 extends along a part of the height of the container body 8. This makes the built-in storage article 10 not appear bulky in the container body 8.

[0080] As shown in Figure 4 , the first side plate 321 joined with the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200, respectively, is close to the track 90 in the orthographic projection on the plane of the opening 8a. Therefore, the first side plate 321 extends along a part of the height of the container body 8 to form a larger access opening 130 into the corresponding storage compartment 13 of the first storage assembly 100. Otherwise, the access opening into the storage compartment 13 is too narrow to facilitate the taking and placing of articles.

[0081] The first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 each include a second side plate 102 and a plate body connected to the second side plate 102 and extending to one side of the second side plate 102. In the use state of the built-in storage article 10, the second side plate 102 abuts against the first side wall 81, and the plate body is joined with the first side plate 321.

[0082] In the present embodiment, the plate body comprises two third side plates 103 and a bottom plate body 105 connected to the two third side plates 103. The two third side plates 103 extend along the extension direction of the second side wall 82 respectively. In the use state of the built-in storage 10, the third side plates 103 are close to the second side wall 82. The bottom plate body 105 is supported on the bottom wall 85 of the container body 8. The third side plates 103 and the bottom plate body 105 are respectively spliced with the first side plate 321 and limited in the first side plate 321.

[0083] The third side plate 103 extends downwardly from the connection with the second side plate 102 to the same height as the first side plate 321 or 322.

[0084] The plate bodies constituting the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 are either fitted to the inner wall 8b of the container body 8, such as the second side plate 102 fitted to the first side wall 81, or extend along the extension direction of the inner wall 8b of the container body 8 to be close to the inner wall 8b of the container body 8, such as the third side plate 103 close to the second side wall 82. Therefore, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200, the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 are respectively provided with a handle portion 110. As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 7 The first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 are respectively provided with a handle portion 110 connected to the first side plate 102 and extending away from the first side plate 102. The handle portion 110 has a hollow hand holding portion 1100. The handle portions 110 of the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 are located on the same side, and the handle portions 110 extend along the extension direction of the second side wall 82 respectively.

[0085] The inner wall 8b of the container body 8 of the present embodiment has a portion protruding into the accommodation space 80. Specifically, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 13 The first side wall 81 is provided with an inner protruding portion 811 protruding into the accommodation space 80. The inner protruding portion 811 is located at the lower part of the first side wall 81, which makes it easy to pull out the container body 8 during manufacturing. The first side wall 81 is provided with a mounting portion 812 outward of the inner protruding portion 811, which is slidably mounted in the refrigeration compartment 4, for example, the mounting portion 812 is connected to a guide rail mounted on the inner wall of the refrigeration compartment 4. The second side plate 102 is provided with a convex surface portion 102a corresponding to the inner protruding portion 811, which is adapted to the inner protruding portion 811. The shape of the convex surface portion 102a matches the shape of the inner protruding portion 811, so that the second side plate 102 can be fitted to the first side wall 81.

[0086] The above improvement has the advantage that, although the installation portion 812 is arranged so that the inner protruding portion 811 or the convex portion 102a protrudes into the inside of the container body 8, so that the accommodation space of the lower portion of the container body 8 is reduced, the accommodation space of the upper portion of the container body 8 is not discarded due to the arrangement of the installation portion 812. The above arrangement allows the container body 8 to have a relatively large accommodation space. If the first side wall 81 is entirely formed as a vertical wall, the installation portion 812 will occupy a certain space of the refrigeration compartment 4 on the outside of the container body, so that there will be less space left in the refrigeration compartment 4 for use as an accommodation space.

[0087] In the present embodiment, the inner protruding portion 811 extends along a partial depth of the container body 8. The convex portion 102a extends along the entire depth of the container body 8, which simplifies the manufacturing of the second side plate 102.

[0088] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first storage assembly 100 is arranged in the container body 8 so that the first side plate 102 covers the first side wall 81 of the container body 8. The second storage assembly 200 is arranged in the container body 8 so that the second side plate 102 covers the second side wall 82 of the container body 8. The third storage assembly 300 is arranged in the container body 8 so that the first side plate 322 covers the first side wall 81 of the container body 8 and the third side plate 103 covers the second side wall 82 of the container body 8. Figure 7 and Figure 13 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first storage assembly 100 is arranged in the container body 8 so that the first side plate 102 covers the first side wall 81 of the container body 8. The second storage assembly 200 is arranged in the container body 8 so that the second side plate 102 covers the second side wall 82 of the container body 8. The third storage assembly 300 is arranged in the container body 8 so that the first side plate 322 covers the first side wall 81 of the container body 8 and the third side plate 103 covers the second side wall 82 of the container body 8.

[0089] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first storage assembly 100 is arranged in the container body 8 so that the first side plate 102 covers the first side wall 81 of the container body 8. The second storage assembly 200 is arranged in the container body 8 so that the second side plate 102 covers the second side wall 82 of the container body 8. The third storage assembly 300 is arranged in the container body 8 so that the first side plate 322 covers the first side wall 81 of the container body 8 and the third side plate 103 covers the second side wall 82 of the container body 8. Figure 8 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first storage assembly 100 is arranged in the container body 8 so that the first side plate 102 covers the first side wall 81 of the container body 8. The second storage assembly 200 is arranged in the container body 8 so that the second side plate 102 covers the second side wall 82 of the container body 8. The third storage assembly 300 is arranged in the container body 8 so that the first side plate 322 covers the first side wall 81 of the container body 8 and the third side plate 103 covers the second side wall 82 of the container body 8.

[0090] In order to make the third storage assembly 300 easier to be arranged in or removed from the container body 8, protruding portions 3221 and 3222 are respectively arranged on the first side plate 322 of the third storage assembly 300, which face the inner wall 8b of the container body 8, and protrude towards the inner wall 8b, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 14As shown. The third storage component 300 contacts the inner wall 8b of the container body 8 via protrusions 3221 and 3222 in the direction of movement of the lid 9 relative to the container body 8. Protrusions 3221 and 3222 extend along a straight line. In this embodiment, protrusion 3221 extends along the bottom edge of the second side plate 322. Thus, during the placement of the third storage component 300, protrusions 3221 and 3222 respectively contact the second side wall 82, making it easier for the third storage component 300 to be placed in the container body 8. Moreover, in this embodiment, protrusions 3221 and 3222 are not easily observed when the storage device 6 is in use, which is beneficial to the appearance of the storage device.

[0091] Among them, such as Figure 14 As shown, the protrusion 3222 on the side where the handle portion 110 is provided protrudes in the depth direction of the container body 8 and is larger than the protrusion 3221 on the other side, so as to form a gap 8s between the corresponding second side plate 322 and the second side wall 82 to accommodate the handle portion 110.

[0092] Similarly, such as Figure 6 As shown, to facilitate the placement of the first storage component 100 and the second storage component 200, the second side plate 102 is provided with multiple protruding ribs 1021 for contacting the track 90. ​​The protruding ribs 1021 extend in a straight line, and their extension direction is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the cover 9. This is because during the installation of the first storage component 100 and the second storage component 200 onto the container body 8, they need to move to the left and right sides, respectively, perpendicular to the sliding direction of the cover 9, to fit against the first side wall 81. During this process, the multiple protruding ribs 1021, perpendicular to the sliding direction of the cover 9, make contact with the track 90 along the moving direction of the storage components. This reduces interference between the storage components and the track 90, making installation easier.

[0093] The top of the second side plate 102 has an eave (not shown) extending toward the inner side of the second side plate 102, and a rib 1021 is provided on the eave so as to form a rib 1021 on the top of the second side plate 102.

[0094] To enhance the mutual limiting effect between the third storage component 300 and the first storage component 100 and the second storage component 200, the third storage component 300 is provided with two grooves 3223 on the first side plate 322, and the first storage component 100 and the second storage component 200 are respectively provided with a positioning part 1030 corresponding to one of the grooves 3223.

[0095] The third storage assembly 300 is provided with a groove (not shown) corresponding to the handle 110 on the first side plate 322. Thus, the third storage assembly 300 is limited in the width direction X and the depth direction Y of the container body 8 by the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 respectively.

[0096] With reference to Figure 13 and Figure 14 The first side plate 322 and the third side plate 103 extend along the extension direction of the second side wall 82 and are close to the second side wall 82. The second side plate 102 is provided with a structure corresponding to the first side wall 81, i.e., the convex part 102a corresponds to the inner convex part 811, and the second side plate 102 is close to the first side wall 81.

[0097] In summary, the built-in storage 10 extends along the extension direction of the inner wall 8b of the container body 8 to be close to and / or close to the inner wall 8b and is embedded in the container body 8. On the one hand, this can enhance the overall sense of the built-in storage 10 and the container body 8. On the other hand, this can make better use of the accommodation space 80 to store items, which is beneficial to improve the effective utilization rate of the accommodation space.

[0098] The above is only one embodiment of the built-in storage, which can produce more embodiments by changing and combining. For example, one embodiment of the built-in storage includes two separable storage assemblies, and the wall thickness of one of the first side walls of the container body is increased so that the inner surface of the first side wall is located outside the track 90. One of the storage assemblies is located directly below the track 90, and the other storage assembly is located between the two tracks 90.

[0099] In another embodiment, the built-in storage includes four separable storage assemblies, i.e., the first side wall 81 of the container body is provided with two tracks 90, and the second side wall 82 is provided with two tracks 90. Figure 5 The third storage assembly of the embodiment shown in the figure is divided into two separable storage assemblies along the first side plate 323, one of which is in the shape of an open box, and the other is in the shape of a U. Alternatively, both of the two storage assemblies are in the shape of an open box. In this embodiment, the two storage assemblies in the middle are limited in the depth direction of the container body. Each of the storage assemblies in the middle is limited in the width direction of the container body by the left and right storage assemblies respectively.

[0100] For example, in one embodiment, the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 respectively include only the second side plate 102 and the bottom plate body 105. In another embodiment, the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 respectively include only the second side plate 102 and two third side plates 103.

[0101] For example, in one embodiment, the first side plates 321 are arranged on the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200 respectively. The third storage assembly 300 comprises a bottom plate 310 and first and second side plates 322 and 323 which are connected to the bottom plate 310 in parallel with each other.

[0102] For example, in one embodiment, the third storage assembly 300 is not provided with the protruding portions 3221 and 3222, and the second side wall 82 is provided with protruding portions extending in a straight line. When the built-in storage 10 is located in the container body 8, the protruding portions contact the third storage assembly 300.

[0103] The above-mentioned embodiments are summarized as follows. The refrigerator 1 comprises a refrigeration compartment 4 and a storage device 6 located in the refrigeration compartment 4. The storage device 6 comprises a container body 8 having a receiving space 80, a cover 9 which is movable relative to the container body 8 to open or close the opening 8a, and a built-in storage 10 located in the container body 8 to define at least two storage compartments. The built-in storage 10 comprises at least two storage assemblies which are separable from each other.

[0104] The storage assemblies are located in the container body 8 in a position limited by each other in at least one direction.

[0105] The receiving space 80 is located outside the opening 8a in the orthographic projection on the plane of the opening 8a. The orthographic projection of at least one storage assembly on the plane of the opening 8a in the use state is at least partially located outside the opening 8a, and the orthographic projection of at least one storage assembly on the plane of the opening 8a in the use state is located inside the opening 8a.

[0106] Another embodiment of the built-in storage will be described below. Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 wherein, Figure 9 is a schematic view of the built-in storage of another embodiment and the process of placing the built-in storage in the container body; Figure 10 is a schematic view of the built-in storage of another embodiment and the process of placing the built-in storage in the container body; Figure 9 is a sectional view of the built-in storage shown in

[0107] The same or similar structures of the present embodiment and the foregoing embodiments are provided with the same or similar reference numerals, and have the same or similar functions and effects, which will not be described herein. Different from the foregoing embodiments, the built-in storage 10 of the present embodiment is an integral piece.

[0108] The built-in storage 10 is detachably arranged in the container body 8, and the built-in storage 10 defines four storage compartments which are open to the opening 8a in the container body 8. The built-in storage 10 comprises a bottom plate 310 for carrying articles, and the bottom plate 310 is supported on the bottom wall 85 of the container body.

[0109] The built-in storage 10 comprises three first side plates connected to the bottom plate 310 and extending in the height direction of the container body 8. Among them, two first side plates 321 respectively face the first side wall 81 and keep a distance with the first side wall 81. One first side plate 323 respectively faces two second side walls 82 and keeps a distance with the two second side walls 82.

[0110] Each first side plate 321 and part of the bottom plate 310 and the inner wall 8b of the container body 8 define a top-open storage compartment 13. The storage compartment 13 is partially located directly below the track 90. The first side plate 323 and part of the bottom plate 310 and the inner wall 8b of the container body 8 define two top-open storage compartments 11.

[0111] As shown in Figure 10 , the first side plate 321 facing the first side wall 81 is close to the track 90 in the orthographic projection of the plane where the opening 8a is located, and the first side plate 321 extends along part of the height of the container body 8. Thus, a larger access opening 130 to the storage compartment 13 can be formed to facilitate the taking and placing of articles. The access opening 130 not only extends in the width direction of the container body 8, but also extends in the height direction of the container body 8.

[0112] The built-in storage 10 of the present embodiment is limited in the width direction and the depth direction of the container body 8 by the inner wall 8b of the container body 8. Moreover, the built-in storage 10 is limited to the inner wall 8b of the container body 8 by the bottom plate 310 of the built-in storage 10 contacting the inner wall 8b of the container body 8 in the width direction and the depth direction of the container body 8.

[0113] The built-in storage 10 of the present embodiment is inclined at a certain angle in the height direction of the container body 8 from top to bottom before being placed in the container body 8, as shown in Figure 9 . It can be seen that the installation of the built-in storage 10 of the present embodiment is not as easy as that of the built-in storage 10 of the embodiment shown in Figure 2 to Figure 8 .

[0114] Figure 9 In the embodiment shown in Figure 10 , the built-in storage 10 and the inner wall 8b of the container body 8 jointly define four storage compartments open to the opening 8a. In another embodiment, the built-in storage 10 can separately define at least two storage compartments open to the opening 8a.

[0115] Another embodiment of the storage device will be introduced below, please refer to Figure 11 to Figure 19 . Among them, Figure 11 is a perspective view of the storage device of one embodiment comprising a box body when the cover is open; Figure 12 is a top view of the storage device of the embodiment shown in Figure 11 after the cover is closed; Figure 13 is a sectional view alongFigure 12 Sectional view along line A-A; Figure 14 is a storage device in the first direction; Figure 12 Sectional view along line B-B; Figure 15 Top view of the storage device in the first direction; Figure 16 is a storage device in the second direction; Figure 15 Top view of the storage device in the second direction; Figure 17 Perspective view of the built-in storage and the box body sliding to an extreme position in the first direction; Figure 18 Perspective view of the built-in storage and the box body sliding to an extreme position in the second direction; in order to more clearly show the structure of the box body and the built-in storage in the container body, Figure 17 and Figure 18 The container body and the cover are omitted. Figure 19 Schematic view of the storage device in which the items are placed, in order to more clearly show the internal structure of the storage device and the items, Figure 19 The container body and the cover are omitted.

[0116] The same or similar structures in the present embodiment and the foregoing embodiments adopt the same or similar reference numerals, and have the same or similar functions and effects, which will not be described here again. Figure 2 to Figure 8 Different from the embodiment shown in the foregoing embodiment, the storage device 6 of the present embodiment further comprises a box body 40. The box body 40 is slidably supported on the built-in storage 10. Moreover, the box body 40 is adapted to slide in the first direction and the second direction to be in different upper and lower stacked positions with the built-in storage 10. The first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0117] In the present embodiment, the box body 40 is rotated by 90 degrees around the hollow shaft C-C to reach the second direction from the first direction. That is, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular.

[0118] The box body 40 of the present embodiment is made of transparent material. The box body 40 is transparent, which can reduce the shielding of the box body 40 to the items directly below the box body 40, and is beneficial for the user to more intuitively observe the items in the storage device 6 after opening the cover 9.

[0119] In the present embodiment, the first direction is the depth direction of the container body 8. The second direction is the width direction of the container body 8. The box body 40 adapted to slide in the first direction in the present embodiment means that the box body 40 is adapted to slide back and forth in the depth direction of the container body 8. The box body 40 adapted to slide in the second direction in the present embodiment means that the box body 40 is adapted to slide back and forth in the width direction of the container body 8.

[0120] Meanwhile, the first direction is also the pushing and pulling direction of the storage device 6 relative to the refrigeration compartment 4, and the second direction is perpendicular to the pushing and pulling direction of the storage device 6 relative to the refrigeration compartment 4.

[0121] The box body 40 is open at the top in the first direction and the second direction. The box body 40 is a rectangular box body open at the top.

[0122] The built-in storage 10 extends along a part of the height of the container body 8, so that the box body 40 and the built-in storage 10 can be stacked up and down in the accommodation space 80. Specifically, the box body 40 of the present embodiment is slidably supported on the third storage assembly 300.

[0123] Among them, the first side plates 321-323 of the third storage assembly 300 are configured as guide rails for the box body 40 to slide. Specifically, the two opposite first side plates 321 facing the first storage assembly 100 and the second storage assembly 200, respectively, are configured as a pair of guide rails for the box body 40 to slide in the first direction. The first side plate 322 and the second side plate 323 close to the second side wall 82 are configured as a pair of guide rails for the box body 40 to slide in the second direction. Among them, the first side plate 323 is located between the two first side plates 322 close to the second side wall 82.

[0124] Moreover, the two first side plates 321, the first side plate 322, the first side plate 323 and part of the bottom plate 310 form a square storage compartment 11. The box body 40 is slidably supported on the storage compartment 11 and is adapted to slide in the first direction and the second direction to be in different stacked positions up and down with the storage compartment 11.

[0125] The box body 40 of the present embodiment slides between the two rails 90.

[0126] The access opening 130 of the storage compartment 13 extends in the height direction of the box body 40. The access opening 130 and the orthographic projection of the box body 40 in the second direction at least partially overlap.

[0127] When the box body 40 slides in the first direction, no matter where the box body 40 slides in the first direction, the box body blocks the access opening 130 of the storage compartment 13, at least to some extent, hindering the access of the storage compartment 13, as shown in Figure 15 .

[0128] When the box body 40 slides in the second direction, the distance between the box body 40 and the access opening 130 is variable with the sliding of the box body. The box body 40 can slide away from the access opening 130. Thus, the box body does not block the access opening 130 of the storage compartment 13, so that the access opening 130 is completely exposed, facilitating the access of the storage compartment 13, as shown in Figure 16 .

[0129] As Figure 13 and Figure 17 shown, in order to restrict the box body 40 on the corresponding guide rail, so that it is not easy to deviate from the first direction or the second direction, the bottom surface of the box body 40 is provided with a pair of limiting parts 401 which protrude downward. In the use state of the box body 40, each limiting part 401 is immediately adjacent to a first side plate 321 to restrict the box body 40 on the guide rail.

[0130] The limiting part 401 extends vertically downward along the bottom surface of the box body 40. Moreover, the limiting part 401 extends along a straight line parallel to the first side plate 321.

[0131] The bottom surface edge of the box body 40 includes a pair of long edges 410 of relatively longer size and a pair of short edges 420 of relatively shorter size. The limiting part 401 of the present embodiment is provided on the inner side of the pair of short edges 420 of the bottom surface of the box body 40 and extends along the short edges 420 close to the short edges 420.

[0132] The limiting part 401 of the present embodiment protrudes 7mm from the bottom surface of the box body 40. Of course, it is also possible that the limiting part 401 protrudes 3-10mm from the bottom surface of the box body 40.

[0133] In order to reduce the noise caused by impact when the box body 40 slides to the limit position in the first direction and the second direction, as shown in Figure 14 and Figure 18 shown, the built-in storage 10 is provided with a protruding buffer 3200. The buffer 3200 of the present embodiment is provided on the first side plates 322 and 323. The buffer 3200 is used to elastically contact the box body 40 when the box body 40 slides to a limit position, and separate the box body 40 and the first side plate which is to be hit in the sliding trend.

[0134] The buffer 3200 of the present embodiment is provided corresponding to the limiting part 401 to elastically contact the limiting part 401 when the box body 40 slides to a limit position.

[0135] The position where the first side plates 322 and 323 respectively meet the first side plate 321 is provided with the buffer 3200.

[0136] When the box body 40 slides to a limit position in the first direction, as Figure 17 shown, the buffer 3200 provided on the first side plate 322 elastically contacts the limiting part 401 and separates the box body 40 and the first side plate 322 to avoid the box body 40 directly hitting the first side plate 322, reducing the noise generated when the box body 40 slides to the limit position.

[0137] Since the buffer 3200 is protruding from the inner surface of the first side plates 322 and 323, when the box body 40 slides to a limit position in the second direction, asFigure 18 As shown, the buffer 3200 provided on the first side plate 322 still elastically contacts the limiting part 401 and separates the box body 40 and the first side plate 321 to prevent the box body 40 from directly impacting the first side plate 321.

[0138] The buffer members 3200 provided at the positions where the first side plates 322 and 323 respectively connect with the first side plate 321 allow one buffer member 3200 to elastically contact the limiting part 401 not only when the box body 40 is slidably reached to an extreme position in the first direction, but also when the box body 40 is slidably reached to an extreme position in the second direction. One buffer member serves a dual purpose. Therefore, this design reduces the number of buffer members 3200, eliminating the need for additional buffer members on the two first side plates 321.

[0139] In this embodiment, mounting holes 3201 are formed on the first side plates 322 and 323, and a buffer member 3200 is disposed in the mounting holes 3201 and protrudes from the inner surface of the first side plates 322 and 323.

[0140] The bottom surface of the box body 40 is provided with protruding bosses (not shown), which slidably support the internal storage component 10 when the box body 40 slides. Specifically, the bosses are located at the four corners of the bottom surface of the box body 40. The bosses facilitate smoother sliding of the box body because, due to manufacturing tolerances, the bottom surface of the box body and the top surface of the first side panel cannot be 100% flat. The bosses help reduce the contact area between them, thereby reducing potential interference and making the sliding smoother.

[0141] like Figure 15 to Figure 19 The container body 8 of the illustrated embodiment includes two side storage areas 10A and an intermediate storage area 20A sandwiched between the two side storage areas 10A.

[0142] exist Figure 3 to Figure 14 In the illustrated embodiment, storage compartment 13 forms a side storage area of ​​the container body 8, and storage compartments 11 and 12 together form the central storage area of ​​the container body 8. To avoid complications, further details will not be provided here. Figure 3 to Figure 14 The numbering has been re-marked. Technical features regarding the side storage areas and / or central storage areas apply. Figure 3 to Figure 14 The example shown.

[0143] As shown in the figure, the width of the side storage area 10A is smaller than that of the central storage area 20A, and the side storage area 1A has a narrow and elongated structure extending along the depth direction of the container body 8. The two side storage areas 10A are configured as a mask storage area, suitable for storing sheet masks or eye masks, such as… Figure 19The side wing storage area 10A is adapted to hold the sheet-like face masks in a vertical position without falling over, and is also convenient for the user to take the face masks. Of course, the side wing storage area 10A can also be used to hold other sheet-like articles, such as flat-packed tea or medicine, health products, etc. in a vertical position.

[0144] In the present embodiment, the size of the side wing storage area 10A in the width direction of the container body 8 is the width of the side wing storage area 10A. The size of the middle storage area 20A in the width direction of the container body 8 is the width of the middle storage area 20A. In the present embodiment, the width of the side wing storage area 10A is 32 mm. The width of the middle storage area 20A is 284 mm.

[0145] In fact, the width of the side wing storage area 10A can be 1 / 10 to 1 / 6 of the width of the middle storage area 20A. The width of the side wing storage area 10A can be in the range of 30 mm to 50 mm (including the two end values), and the width of the middle storage area 20A can be in the range of 270 mm to 300 mm. It can be seen that the side wing storage area 10A occupies a smaller size in the width direction X of the container body 8, so as to be adapted to hold sheet-like articles in a vertical position, and at the same time, to leave more space for the middle storage area 20A.

[0146] The side wing storage area 10A is at least partially located directly below the track 90. The middle storage area 20A is located between the two tracks 90.

[0147] The container body 8 comprises a first side plate 321 for separating the middle storage area 20A and the side wing storage area 10A, and the first side plate 321 extends along part of the height of the side wing storage area 10A to form a larger access opening into the side wing storage area 10A. Since the side wing storage area 10A has a narrow and long structure, the first side plate 321 extending along part of the height of the side wing storage area 10A can make the access opening into the side wing storage area 10A extend obliquely downward. The access opening into the side wing storage area 10A not only extends in the width direction of the container body 8, but also extends in the height direction of the container body 8, which is larger than the access opening extending only in the width direction of the container body 8, and is more convenient for the user to take the articles.

[0148] In the present embodiment, the middle storage area 20A extends along part of the height of the side wing storage area 10A. The box body 40 is slidably supported in the middle storage area 20A.

[0149] The middle storage area 20A is divided into a first sub-storage area 21A and a second sub-storage area 22A by the first side plate 323 along the depth direction of the container body 8. Among them, the size of the second sub-storage area 22A in the width and depth directions of the container body 8 is the same. And the size of the second sub-storage area 22A along the depth direction of the container body 8 is greater than that of the first sub-storage area 21A.

[0150] In this embodiment, the first sub storage area 21A is located in front of the second sub storage area 22A.

[0151] The size of the second sub storage area 22A along the depth direction Y of the container body 8 is 3-5 times the size of the first sub storage area 21A. The size of the first sub storage area 21A along the depth direction Y of the container body 8 is 70-100 mm.

[0152] In this embodiment, the size of the first sub storage area 21A along the depth direction Y of the container body 8 is 78 mm. The size of the second sub storage area 22A along the depth direction Y of the container body 8 is 284 mm.

[0153] The first sub storage area 21A in this embodiment is configured as a bottle and jar storage area, suitable for storing small-volume cosmetics such as daily-use face cream, hand cream, essence, eye cream, etc. Figure 19 These small-volume bottled cosmetics can be placed vertically in the first sub storage area 21A. The size of the first sub storage area 21A along the depth direction of the container body 8 is determined according to the size of these daily-use bottled cosmetics. During the pulling out or pushing in of the storage device 6 from the refrigeration compartment 4, the shaking of the cosmetics can be reduced, and the possibility of spilling can be reduced.

[0154] The second sub storage area 22A is configured as a stock area, suitable for storing stock canned or large-volume bottled cosmetics, such as Figure 19 as shown. The high-height bottles can be placed upside down in the second sub storage area 22A.

[0155] The size of the second sub storage area 22A in the width and depth directions of the container body 8 is the same, so that the box body 40 is adapted to be slidably supported on the second sub storage area 22A and adapted to slide in the first direction and the second direction, as shown. Figure 15 to 18

[0156] Since the second sub storage area 22A is configured as a stock area, the frequency of taking and placing the items therein is relatively low, and the box body 40 is supported on the second sub storage area 22A, and the box body 40 does not need to be frequently slid.

[0157] The first sub storage area 21A is configured as a bottle and jar storage area, suitable for storing daily-use cosmetics. The box body 40 is stopped by the limiting portion 401 thereof at the first side plate 323 in the first direction, so that the box body 40 cannot be slid above the first sub storage area 21A in the first direction. Thus, the first sub storage area 21A is always open towards the opening 8a of the container body 8, and it is more convenient for the user to directly take and place the daily-use cosmetics after opening the cover 9, without the need to slide the box body 40 every time. ​

[0158] The box 40 is a spare area which can be used according to the user's needs, such as storing daily use cosmetics, because it is at the uppermost layer of the storage device, and the user can directly take and place the items by opening the cover, which is very convenient. The box 40 can also store stockpiled cosmetics or tea, etc.

[0159] It can be seen that the above-mentioned storage device can provide users with multiple choices to meet the storage needs of more and various items, especially cosmetics. The storage device is specially provided with a wing storage area suitable for storing sheet masks and eye masks, a bottle and jar storage area suitable for storing small-volume bottle and jar cosmetics such as face cream, hand cream, essence, eye cream, etc., and a stockpiling area suitable for storing stockpiled canned or large-volume bottled cosmetics. The functions are complete, and no additional partition is needed. The above-mentioned storage device can greatly reduce the shaking and dumping of the items in the storage device during the pulling out or pushing into the refrigeration compartment.

[0160] In the foregoing embodiment, the box 40 slides back and forth along the part of the length of the two first side plates 321 in the depth direction Y of the container body 8. Of course, in another embodiment, the height of the two first side plates 321 extending in the depth direction Y of the container body 8 is higher than the first side plates 322 and 323 extending in the width direction X of the container body 8. Therefore, the limiting portion 401 of the box 40 no longer stops at the first side plate 323. The box 40 can slide back and forth along the entire length of the two first side plates 321 in the depth direction Y of the container body 8.

[0161] In the foregoing embodiment, the built-in storage 10 is detachably arranged in the container body 8. Among them, Figure 3 to Figure 8 and Figure 11 to Figure 19 The built-in storage 10 of the embodiment shown comprises three storage assemblies 100, 200 and 300 which can be separated from each other, and each storage assembly is arranged in the container body 8 in sequence and side by side along the width or depth direction of the container body 8 to form a middle storage area and two wing storage areas. Figure 9 and Figure 10 The built-in storage 10 of the embodiment shown is an integral piece which defines a middle storage area and two wing storage areas in the container body 8.

[0162] Another embodiment of the storage assembly directly has a middle storage area and two wing storage areas. The built-in storage and the container body are integrally formed or fixedly connected together so that the built-in storage cannot be detached. Or, the container body 8 comprises two first side plates 321 and a first side plate 323 which are formed together with the container body 8, thereby forming a middle storage area and two wing storage areas in the container body, and the middle storage area is divided into a first sub-storage area and a second sub-storage area by the first side plate 323.

[0163] In the foregoing embodiment, the intermediate storage area and the two side wing storage areas are formed as a structure with an open top, a side wall, and a supported bottom. In another embodiment, the side wing storage areas comprise a narrow and long ring structure connected to the intermediate storage area, and the side wall of the side wing storage area is hollowed out. The side wall of the intermediate storage area can also be hollowed out.

[0164] In combination Figure 1 to Figure 19 The various embodiments of the individual components described can be combined in any given manner to achieve the advantages of the present application.

[0165] The present application has been described in relation to the above embodiments, which are intended to demonstrate the principles of the application. However, it is to be understood that the application is not limited to the details of the above-described embodiments, which were shown by way of example. Rather, the disclosed embodiments are merely examples of implementing the application. It is intended that changes and modifications be made to the illustrated embodiments, which are within the spirit and scope of the application.
