Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of refrigerator technology, and more particularly to a refrigerator with variable storage space. Background Technology

[0002] A refrigerator is a refrigeration device that keeps food or other items at a constant low temperature. In most commonly used refrigerators, the distance between the shelves in the refrigerator and freezer compartments is fixed, resulting in a relatively simple structure. When placing items of different sizes, they are often mixed together, which can cause cross-contamination, leading to odors mixing, spoilage, and other problems. This affects the original properties of the items and causes significant inconvenience to people's lives.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies have employed a multi-layered design within the refrigerator compartment, separated by partitions, to allow for the separate placement of different types of items. However, once the distance between the partitions for each layer is determined, the space is fixed and laid flat. Items of different sizes, especially smaller ones, still need to be mixed together. Furthermore, when the space is large, smaller items are not easily arranged neatly, or they may slip and scatter after being placed. Therefore, it is not convenient to flexibly adjust the storage space according to the size of the items. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a refrigerator with variable storage space, which can reasonably adjust the size of the storage space according to the size of different items, thereby avoiding mutual interference between items, ensuring the performance of the items, and facilitating the neat arrangement of items in the refrigerator's internal storage space.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a refrigerator with variable storage capacity, including a casing, a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment inside the casing, and a storage adjustment device on the shelf of the refrigerator compartment that can change the size of each space. The storage adjustment device includes an adjustment shaft located in the middle of the shelf, an adjustment component connected to one end of the adjustment shaft, and rotating shafts on both sides of the shelf. The rotating shafts are equipped with partitions, and an auxiliary component connected to the adjustment component is located at one end of the partition. When smaller items need to be placed, the auxiliary component is rotated by the adjustment component to lower the partition, forming multiple small storage cavities with the refrigerator compartment and the lower shelf. When larger items need to be placed, the auxiliary component is rotated by the adjustment component to fold the partition under the upper shelf.

[0006] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a sleeve located at the rear end of the adjustment shaft and a knob that engages with the sleeve. The outer end of the sleeve has an inner retaining tooth, and the inner end of the sleeve has a rotating cavity. An adjustment spring that abuts against the knob rod is located in the rotating cavity, and the inner end of the knob rod has an outer retaining tooth that engages with the inner retaining tooth.

[0007] More preferably, the auxiliary component includes a roller located at the rear end of the rotating shaft, the roller being connected to the knob lever via a pull wire or belt, and a torsion spring sleeved on the inner side of the roller and connected to the rotating shaft.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Example 1, as Figure 1-4 As shown, a refrigerator with variable storage includes a casing 1, which contains a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment. The refrigerator compartment's shelves 2 are equipped with a storage adjustment device that allows for changing the size of each shelf space. This device includes an adjustment shaft located in the middle of the shelf 2, with an adjustment component connected to one end. Rotating shafts are located on both sides of the shelf 2, and partitions 3 are mounted on the rotating shafts. An auxiliary component, which works in conjunction with the adjustment component, is located at one end of each partition 3. When smaller items need to be placed, the adjustment component controls the auxiliary component to rotate, lowering the partition 3 and creating multiple small storage cavities with the refrigerator compartment and the lower shelf 2. This facilitates the separate placement of different types of small items. When larger items need to be placed, the adjustment component controls the auxiliary component to rotate, folding the partition 3 under the upper shelf 2. This allows for the reasonable adjustment of the storage space according to the size of different items, avoiding mutual interference between items, ensuring the performance of the items, and facilitating the neat arrangement of items within the refrigerator's storage space.

[0022] In this embodiment, the adjustment component includes a retaining sleeve located at the rear end of the adjustment shaft and a knob 4 connected to the retaining sleeve. The outer end of the retaining sleeve has an inner retaining tooth 5, and the inner end of the retaining sleeve has a rotating cavity 6. The rotating cavity 6 contains an adjustment spring 7 that abuts against the knob 4. The inner end of the knob 4 has an outer retaining tooth 8 that engages with the inner retaining tooth 5. The auxiliary component includes a roller 9 located at the rear end of the rotating shaft. The roller 9 is connected to the knob 4 via a pull wire 10 or a belt. The inner side of the roller 9 has a torsion spring 11 that engages with the rotating shaft. In use, pressing the button inward causes the outer retaining tooth 8 to engage with the inner retaining tooth. 5. Disengagement: Then, under the action of torsion spring 11, knob 4 and shaft rotate, causing partition 3 to fall down, forming multiple small storage cavities. Then, under the action of adjusting spring 7, knob 4 returns to its original position, and the outer locking tooth 8 engages with the inner locking tooth 5 to fix it in place. Items in each small space will not affect each other. When it is necessary to place a large item, press the button inward to disengage the outer locking tooth 8 from the inner locking tooth 5. Then, turn the button to drive the roller 9 and partition 3 to rotate through the pull cable 10 or belt, folding partition 3 under the shelf 2, thus freeing up space and restoring it to its original size.

[0023] In this embodiment, the partition 3 has a sliding groove 12 on its side and a loading and unloading port at its rear end. The sliding groove 12 is equipped with a detachable hook assembly. The hook assembly includes a connecting seat 13. One end of the connecting seat 13 is equipped with a connecting plate that fits into the sliding groove 12. The connecting plate is equipped with a support, and the outer end of the support is equipped with a connecting shaft. A hook body 14 is movably connected to the connecting shaft. When the partition 3 is lowered, small items are hung in the corresponding small spaces by the hook body 14 and can slide within the small spaces. When the partition 3 is folded, the hook body 14 is straightened, and different items can be hung in suitable positions, which can further make the items neatly arranged.

[0024] Example 2, as Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, in a further preferred embodiment, the drawer of the freezer compartment is provided with a storage adjustment device, and a door frame 15 corresponding to the partition 3 is opened at the rear end of the drawer. A door panel 16 is hinged to the door frame 15, and a card seat 17 is provided at the upper end of the door frame 15. A buckle 18 that engages with the card seat 17 is provided on the inner side of the upper end of the door panel 16. In this way, when using the drawer, the items in the small space can be taken out separately by opening different door panels 16 without affecting the items in other small spaces.

[0025] In this embodiment, a through hole is longitudinally opened on the partition 3 corresponding to the position of the slide groove 12. A through groove 19 communicates between the through hole and the slide groove 12. A push-pull rod 20 is provided in the through hole. The inner end of the push-pull rod 20 is connected to the partition 3 by a push-pull spring 21. A push-pull plate 22 is connected to the inner end of the push-pull rod 20. The push-pull plate 22 is located in the through groove 19. In this way, when it is necessary to take out the items in the drawer, the hook assembly and the items are moved outward along the slide groove 12 by controlling the push-pull plate 22, so as to facilitate the removal of the items.

[0026] In this embodiment, the drawer is provided with a pulley on the outside that works with the inner wall of the freezer. The pulley facilitates the drawer's entry and exit from the freezer with appropriate tightness and also prevents the drawer from falling out of the freezer.

[0027] Based on the ideas of this invention, there may be changes in specific implementation methods and application scope, and the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.
