Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a partition assembly, and in particular to a partition assembly for partitioning the interior of a storage chamber of a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] A typical refrigerator has a refrigerator, freezer, and vegetable compartment as storage spaces. The front openings of the refrigerator, freezer, and vegetable compartments are shielded by doors. The front opening of the refrigerator is shielded by a pivotally connected door. A storage box is located on the inner surface of the door, capable of accommodating vertically placed beverage containers or seasoning containers. However, because storage boxes are typically elongated, beverage containers placed vertically inside the box can tip over.

[0003] Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-23144) describes a partition assembly for partitioning a storage box. The partition assembly described in Patent Document 1 comprises a partition and a retaining member. The partition is used to divide the storage space of a refrigerator, and the retaining member is slidably mounted, allowing the partition to be positioned anywhere within the storage space. The partition is rotatable relative to the retaining member, with the axis of rotation extending along the length of the partition. This allows the partition to remain flush with the horizontal, thereby increasing the partitioning strength of the partition.

[0004] However, the relative position and angle of the partition member and the retainer described in Patent Document 1 are fixed. Therefore, when the partition function in the storage box is not needed, the partition member needs to be removed from the storage box in order to avoid wasting storage room space. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a partition assembly that can be folded according to the situation.

[0006] Solutions for solving problems

[0007] The partition assembly of the present invention is a partition assembly, which is arranged in a storage area surrounded by a storage wall and is characterized in that it can adopt a storage state that does not separate the storage area and a separation state that separates the storage area. It has a mounting seat, a locking portion, a first rotating member and a second rotating member. The mounting seat has a first end face and a second end face, and the second end face is opposite to the first end face. The locking portion is arranged on the first end face side of the mounting seat and is shaped to be able to lock with the storage wall from above. The first rotating member is rotatably connected relative to the mounting seat, and the second rotating member is rotatably connected relative to the first rotating member. In the storage state, the second rotating member is close to the second end face of the mounting seat, and in the separation state, the second rotating member is perpendicular to the second end face of the mounting seat.

[0008] In addition, in the partition assembly of the present invention, it is characterized in that, in the storage state, the first rotating member and the second rotating member are close to the second end face of the mounting seat, and in the separation state, the first rotating member is perpendicular to the second end face of the mounting seat, and the second rotating member is perpendicular to the end face of the first rotating member.

[0009] In addition, the partition assembly of the present invention is characterized in that it further comprises a support member, one end of which is rotatably connected relative to the first rotating member, and the other end of which is slidable relative to the mounting seat.

[0010] Furthermore, in the partition assembly of the present invention, it is characterized in that, in the partitioned state, the support member is accommodated in the second rotating member.

[0011] In addition, in the partition assembly of the present invention, it is characterized in that the partition assembly has an adjusting member, the adjusting member has an adjusting block and a mounting shaft, the engaging portion has a engaging block, the mounting shaft is rotatably supported by the mounting groove of the engaging block, the mounting shaft is formed on the lower end side of the adjusting member, the adjusting block is engaged with the adjusting groove of the engaging block, the adjusting block is formed on the upper end side of the adjusting member, and a plurality of adjusting grooves are formed along the thickness direction of the storage wall.

[0012] In addition, in the partition assembly of the present invention, it is characterized in that, in the storage state, the first rotating member has a length direction extending in the horizontal direction when it is close to the second end face of the mounting seat, and in the partition state, the first rotating member has a length direction extending in the up and down direction when it is close to the second end face of the mounting seat.

[0013] In addition, the middle area of the support member is configured to be curved, and the second rotating member has a limiting cavity matching the middle area of the support member. In the separated state, the middle area of the support member is received in the limiting cavity.

[0014] In addition, a plurality of adjustment slots are arranged along the front-to-back direction, driving the adjustment block to engage with different driving slots to change the front-to-back depth of the engagement space.

[0015] In addition, the mounting seat has a guide groove, and the first rotating member has a guide block. When the first rotating member rotates, the guide block moves along the guide groove.

[0016] In addition, the partition assembly further includes limiting ribs provided on the mounting seat and the first rotating member. In the partitioned state, the limiting ribs abut against each other.

[0017] Effects of the Invention

[0018] The partition assembly of the present invention provides a foldable partition assembly that can be adjusted to the situation. Specifically, in the stowed position, the second rotating member is positioned close to the second end surface of the mounting base, thereby enabling easy stowage of the second rotating member when functional division is not required. Furthermore, in the partitioned position, the second rotating member is positioned substantially perpendicular to the second end surface of the mounting base, thereby enabling the second rotating member to be used to divide the storage area at any desired location when functional division is required.

[0034] Hereinafter, the partition assembly 10 of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings. In the following description, in principle, the same components are marked with the same symbols and repeated descriptions are omitted. In addition, in the following description, the directions of up, down, front, back, left, and right are appropriately used.

[0035] Figure 1 The figure is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the partition assembly 10 in the storage state. The partition assembly 10 is disposed within a storage area 31, which is partitioned by the storage wall 30 of the refrigerator 32. As described later, the partition assembly 10 has a storage state in which the storage area 31 is not partitioned, and a partitioned state in which the storage area 31 is partitioned. Furthermore, the partition assembly 10 has a rotational state, which is intermediate between the storage state and the partitioned state. Furthermore, transitions between these states are achieved by the user actuating the deformation of the partition assembly 10.

[0036] The partition assembly 10 comprises a mounting seat 11, a locking portion 12, a first rotating member 14 and a second rotating member 15. Each component constituting the partition assembly 10 is made of synthetic resin material and manufactured by injection molding.

[0037] The mounting base 11 is in a rectangular parallelepiped shape and is used to support the components of the partition assembly 10. The mounting base 11 has a first end surface 111 and a second end surface 112. The first end surface 111 is configured as a planar structure facing the rear side, and the second end surface 112 is configured as a planar structure opposite to the first end surface 111.

[0038] The engaging portion 12 is provided on the first end surface 111 of the mounting seat 11 and can be engaged with the storage wall 30 described later from above. Figure 4 wait.

[0039] The first rotating member 14 is rotatably mounted on the second end surface 112 of the mounting base 11. Specifically, the first rotating member 14 has a longitudinal direction extending in the vertical direction. The upper end of the first rotating member 14 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 11 via a rotating shaft 18, which extends in the left-right direction.

[0040] The second rotating member 15 is a plate-shaped structure and is rotatably connected to the first rotating member 14. Figure 1 In the storage state shown, the upper and lower ends of the right side of the second rotating member 15 are rotatably connected to the first rotating member 14. The second rotating member 15 is used to separate the storage area 31.

[0041] The first rotating member 14 and the second rotating member 15 are Figure 1 In the stowed state shown, the first and second rotating members 14 and 15 are in close contact with the second end surface 112 of the mounting base 11. Specifically, the rear surface of the first rotating member 14 and the rear surface of the second rotating member 15 are in close contact with the second end surface 112 of the mounting base 11. With this structure, when the partition assembly 10 is in the stowed state, the first and second rotating members 14 and 15 do not protrude forward, making the partition assembly 10 more compact.

[0042] The support member 16 is used to support the first rotating member 14 and limit the rotation range of the partition assembly 10. The upper end of the support member 16 is rotatably connected to the middle position of the first rotating member 14 via a rotating shaft 17. The lower end of the support member 16 is located inside the mounting seat 11 and is slidably connected to the mounting seat 11.

[0043] Figure 2 It is an exploded perspective view of the front view of the partition component 10. Figure 3 It is an exploded perspective view of the rear view of the partition assembly 10.

[0044] The partition assembly 10 includes, from front to back, a second rotating member 15 , a first rotating member 14 , a supporting member 16 , a mounting seat 11 , a locking portion 12 , and an adjusting member 13 .

[0045] The second rotating member 15 is a plate-shaped structure and is used to separate the plate storage area 31. Concave rotation grooves 151 are formed at the upper and lower ends of the right side of the second rotating member 15. The second rotating member 15 can rotate with the rotation groove 151 as the rotation center.

[0046] The first rotating member 14 is rotationally connected to the supporting second rotating member 15 and supports the supporting second rotating member 15. The first rotating member 14 is a columnar structure and extends in the up and down directions. A through hole 141, a through hole 142 and a rotation groove 143 are formed on the first rotating member 14. The through hole 141 is used for rotational connection with the mounting seat 11. The through hole 142 is used for rotational connection with the support member 16. The rotation groove 143 is formed at the upper and lower ends of the middle groove of the first rotating member 14. By inserting a rotating shaft (not shown here) between the rotation groove 151 of the second rotating member 15 and the rotation groove 143 of the first rotating member 14, the rotational connection between the second rotating member 15 and the first rotating member 14 can be achieved.

[0047] The middle region of the support member 16 is curved and strip-shaped, and the support member 16 has a through-hole 161 and a limiting shaft 162. Through-hole 161 extends through the upper end of the support member 16. The rotational shaft 17 extends into the through-hole 142 of the first rotating member 14 and the through-hole 161 of the support member 16. As a result, the upper end of the support member 16 is rotatably connected to the middle position of the first rotating member 14. The limiting shaft 162 is a cylindrical structure and is located at the lower end of the support member 16. The limiting shaft 162 protrudes from the outside of the support member 16 in the left-right direction. The limiting shaft 162 is disposed inside the mounting base 11.

[0048] The mounting seat 11 has a front mounting part 113 and a rear mounting part 114 .

[0049] The front mounting member 113 is located at the front of the mounting base 11. Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the front mounting member 113 is a cover-like structure that opens to the rear. Figure 2 As shown, the second end surface 112 is located on the front mounting member 113 and is formed with a mounting block 115 and a movable groove 117 .

[0050] The mounting block 115 is located at the upper end of the second end surface 112 and extends toward the front of the second end surface 112. The two mounting blocks 115 are spaced apart from each other. A movable channel 116 is formed between the two spaced apart mounting blocks 115. The upper end of the first rotating member 14 engages with the two mounting blocks 115. Furthermore, the rotating shaft 18 extends into the through hole 141 of the first rotating member 14 and the movable channel 116. Through this structure, the first rotating member 14 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 11 with the rotating shaft 18 as the rotation center.

[0051] The movable groove 117 is open and is located on the front surface of the mounting base 11 and extends in the up-down direction. In addition, the movable groove 117 is located below the mounting block 115. The lower end of the support member 16 is movably arranged in the inside of the mounting base 11 using the movable groove 117.

[0052] The rear mounting member 114 is a plate-shaped structure. The rear mounting member 114 covers the rear opening of the front mounting member 113 , thereby forming an inner space of the mounting seat 11 .

[0053] The engaging portion 12 protrudes from the rear surface of the rear mounting member 114. When viewed from the right, the engaging portion 12 is a hook-shaped structure facing downward. The engaging portion 12 is used to engage with the storage wall 30 of the refrigerator 32. The structure of the engaging portion 12 is shown in FIG. Figure 4 .

[0054] The adjusting member 13 is connected to the rear side of the engaging portion 12 and can adjust the gap between the engaging portion 12 and the first end surface 111. Figure 4 .

[0055] Reference Figure 3 A limiting cavity 152 is formed in the second rotating member 15. The limiting cavity 152 corresponds to the middle region of the support member 16 and is formed by the reinforcing ribs of the second rotating member 15. When the partition assembly 10 is in the separated state, the middle region of the support member 16 is received in the limiting cavity 152.

[0056] Figure 4 It is an exploded perspective view of the rear view of the engaging portion 12 and the adjusting member 13. The engaging portion 12 has an engaging block 121.

[0057] From a right side view, the engaging block 121 extends rearward from the upper end of the rear mounting member 114 and has a hook-like structure. Furthermore, from a rear view, the engaging block 121 has a U-shaped structure. This allows the adjusting member 13 to be accommodated within the engaging block 121. Furthermore, an engaging space 124 is formed between the rear surface of the rear mounting member 114 and the engaging block 121.

[0058] The engaging block 121 is formed with a mounting groove 122 and an adjustment groove 123. The mounting groove 122 is recessed in the lower end of the engaging block 121. The adjustment groove 123 is recessed in the upper surface of the engaging block 121. The plurality of adjustment grooves 123 are arranged along the thickness direction of the storage wall 30, that is, along the front-to-back direction.

[0059] The adjusting member 13 is a plate-shaped structure and includes an adjusting block 131 and a mounting shaft 132 .

[0060] The adjusting block 131 is located at the upper end of the adjusting member 13, has a columnar structure, and protrudes on both sides of the adjusting member 13. The adjusting block 131 cooperates with the adjusting slot 123 of the engaging block 121 from above. The cooperation between the adjusting slot 123 and the adjusting block 131 is shown in Figure 5.

[0061] The mounting shaft 132 is located at the lower end of the adjusting member 13 and is cylindrical in structure, protruding from the left and right sides of the adjusting member 13. The mounting shaft 132 of the adjusting member 13 is inserted from the rear into the mounting slot 122 of the engaging block 121. As a result, the lower end of the adjusting member 13 can rotate relative to the engaging block 121 about the axis of the mounting shaft 132.

[0062] Figure 5A and Figure 5B It is a cross-sectional schematic diagram showing adjustment of the gap between the engaging portion 12 and the first end surface 111 .

[0063] As described above, a plurality of adjustment slots 123 are formed on the upper portion of the engagement block 121. The plurality of adjustment slots 123 are arranged in the front-to-back direction. Therefore, by changing the adjustment slot 123 that the adjustment block 131 of the adjustment member 13 engages, the position of the adjustment member 13 in the front-to-back direction can be changed, thereby changing the front-to-back depth of the engagement space 124.

[0064] Specifically, in Figure 5A In the cross-sectional view shown on the left side of FIG, the adjusting block 131 of the adjusting member 13 is driven to engage with the adjusting groove 123 at the rear end. Thus, the upper end of the adjusting member 13 is located at the rear side. Therefore, the front-to-back depth of the engaging space 124 can reach about 8 mm.

[0065] exist Figure 5A In the cross-sectional view shown in the middle of FIG, the adjustment block 131 of the adjustment member 13 is driven to engage with the previous adjustment slot 123. This causes the upper end of the adjustment member 13 to move forward, and the front-to-back depth of the engagement space 124 can reach approximately 7 mm. Furthermore, the mounting shaft 132 at the lower end of the adjustment member 13 can only rotate within the mounting slot 122 of the engagement block 121 and cannot move in the front-to-back direction.

[0066] exist Figure 5AIn the cross-sectional view shown on the right side of , the adjusting block 131 of the adjusting member 13 is driven to further engage with the previous adjusting groove 123. Thus, the upper end of the adjusting member 13 is further moved to the front side, and the front-back depth of the engaging space 124 can reach about 6 mm.

[0067] exist Figure 5B In the cross-sectional view shown on the left side of , the adjusting block 131 of the adjusting member 13 is driven to further engage with the previous adjusting groove 123. Thus, the upper end of the adjusting member 13 is further moved to the front side, and the front-back depth of the engaging space 124 can reach about 5mm.

[0068] exist Figure 5B In the cross-sectional view shown on the right side of the figure, the adjusting block 131 of the adjusting member 13 is driven to engage with the adjusting groove 123 on the front side. Thus, the upper end of the adjusting member 13 moves to the front side, and the front-back depth of the engaging space 124 can reach about 4 mm.

[0069] The storage wall 30 of the refrigerator 32 is inserted into the engagement space 124 of the engagement portion 12. In this embodiment, even if the thickness of the storage wall 30 is different on different refrigerators 32, it can be adapted by adjusting the position of the adjustment groove 123 and the adjustment block 131. That is, when the storage wall 30 is thicker, such as Figure 5A As shown in the cross-sectional view of the left end of the adjusting member 13, the adjusting block 131 of the adjusting member 13 is engaged with the rear adjusting groove 123, so that the front-to-back depth of the engaging space 124 becomes larger. On the other hand, when the storage wall 30 is thin, as shown in FIG. Figure 5B As shown in the cross-sectional schematic diagram on the right side of , the adjustment block 131 of the adjustment member 13 is driven to engage with the front adjustment groove 123, so that the front-to-back depth of the engagement space 124 becomes smaller.

[0070] Figure 6 1 is a perspective view showing the partition assembly 10 in a rotated state. The rotated state refers to a state where only the first rotating member 14 is rotated, and is a state between the stored state and the partition state.

[0071] When the partition assembly 10 is transformed from the storage state to the rotation state, the first rotating member 14 and the second rotating member 15 are driven to rotate approximately 90 degrees around the rotation axis 18. From the right side view, the first rotating member 14 rotates approximately 90 degrees clockwise.

[0072] When the first rotating member 14 rotates, the support member 16 also moves. Specifically, because the upper end of the support member 16 is connected to the center of the first rotating member 14 via the rotating shaft 17, the support member 16 moves upward and forward with the first rotating member 14. Simultaneously, the lower end of the support member 16 moves upward and abuts the upper end of the movable groove 117. Thus, the support member 16 limits the rotation angle of the first rotating member 14.

[0073] Figure 7 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the partition component 10 in a partitioned state.

[0074] When the partition assembly 10 changes from the rotating state to the separating state, the second rotating member 15 rotates with the rotating groove 143 of the first rotating member 14 as the rotation center. Specifically, from the front view, the second rotating member 15 rotates counterclockwise about 90 degrees.

[0075] After the second rotating member 15 rotates, the middle portion of the support member 16 is received within the limiting cavity 152 of the second rotating member 15. Thus, the support member 16 limits further rotation of the second rotating member 15. Furthermore, the rear side of the second rotating member 15 abuts against the second end surface 112 of the mounting base 11, thereby limiting further rotation of the second rotating member 15. Furthermore, the support member 16 provides enhanced support for the second rotating member 15. Therefore, when the partition assembly 10 is in use, even if a large plastic bottle or the like rests against the second rotating member 15, deformation or damage to the second rotating member 15 is avoided.

[0076] Figure 8 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the partition component 10 in the storage area 31 in a partitioned state.

[0077] Figure 8 3 shows a door 33 of a refrigerator 32. The door 33 pivots to open or close the front opening of the refrigerator compartment. A storage box 34 is formed at the lower end of the inner surface of the door 33. The storage box 34 has a storage space that accommodates the storage wall 30 and is used to store plastic bottles, seasonings, etc.

[0078] The partition assembly 10 is positioned within the storage box 34 in a partitioned state. Specifically, in this state, the engaging portion 12 of the partition assembly 10 engages with the storage wall 30 from above. Furthermore, the second rotating member 15 of the partition assembly 10 divides the storage area 31 into two sections, one for the left and the other for the right. Thus, even when plastic bottles, etc., are stored in the storage area 31, the second rotating member 15 blocks them, preventing them from toppling over within the storage box 34.

[0079] In addition, when the interior of the storage area 31 does not need to be partitioned, the partition assembly 10 can be converted into Figure 1The storage state shown enables the partition assembly 10 to remain on the storage wall 30 while eliminating the partitioning of the storage area 30 by the partition assembly 10 .

[0080] Reference Figures 9 to 12 Next, the structure of a partition assembly 10 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the same reference numerals are used for the same parts as those in the above embodiment.

[0081] Figure 9 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the partition assembly 10 in another embodiment when it is in the storage state.

[0082] The partition assembly 10 includes a mounting seat 11, a first rotating member 14, a second rotating member 15, a rotating support member 19, a locking portion 12, and an adjusting member 13. The partition assembly 10 includes the first rotating member 14 and the second rotating member 15 as rotating parts that can rotate relative to the mounting seat 11. Their rotating structures are similar to Figure 1 The partition assembly 10 shown is different. Other structures are similar to Figure 1 The partition assemblies 10 shown are identical.

[0083] Specifically, the first rotating member 14 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 11 via a rotating shaft 18. Furthermore, a rotating support member 19 is supported on the front side of the first rotating member 14. The second rotating member 15 is rotatably connected to the first rotating member 14 via a rotating shaft 20. The rotating shaft 18 is parallel to the front-to-back direction, and the rotating shaft 20 is parallel to the left-to-right direction.

[0084] exist Figure 9 In the retracted position shown, the first rotating member 14 is in contact with the second end surface 112 of the mounting base 11, with its length extending horizontally. Furthermore, the rear surface of the second rotating member 15 is in contact with the second end surface 112 of the first end surface 111. This structure reduces the protrusions of the first and second rotating members 14, 15, making the partition assembly 10 more compact.

[0085] Figure 10 is a perspective schematic diagram of an exploded view of the partition assembly 10 in another embodiment.

[0086] A rotating shaft 18 is formed on the right side of the first rotating member 14. The rotating shaft 18 has a columnar structure and protrudes from the front side of the first rotating member 14. A rotating shaft 145 is formed on the rear surface of the first rotating member 14 at a position overlapping with the rotating shaft 18. The rotating shaft 145 has a columnar structure and protrudes from the rear side of the first rotating member 14 to extend into the through hole 119 of the mounting seat 11. In addition, rotating grooves 143 are formed on the left and right sides of the first rotating member 14. In addition, a guide block 144 is formed in the middle position of the rear surface of the first rotating member 14. The guide block 144 has a columnar structure and protrudes from the rear side of the first rotating member 14 to extend into the guide groove 118 of the mounting seat 11.

[0087] The rotation support 19 is located on the right side of the mounting base 11 and is shielded from the front side of the right end portion of the first rotating member 14. The rotation support 19 has an insertion hole 191. The first rotating member 14 rotates by extending the rotation shaft 18 into the insertion hole 191 of the rotation support 19.

[0088] Rotation grooves 151 are formed on both sides of the upper end of the second rotating member 15. A rotation shaft (not shown) is inserted into the rotation grooves 151 of the second rotating member 15 and the rotation groove 143 of the first rotating member 14. With this structure, the upper end of the second rotating member 15 forms the rotation shaft 20 described above and is rotationally connected to the first rotating member 14.

[0089] A through-hole 119 and a guide groove 118 are formed on the front surface of the mounting base 11. The through-hole 119 is a circular hole into which the rotating shaft 145 of the first rotating member 14 extends. The guide groove 118 is recessed into the front surface of the mounting base 11. When viewing the mounting base 11 from the front, the guide groove 118 has an arc shape centered on the through-hole 119.

[0090] Furthermore, the partition assembly 10 is provided with a limiting rib 1111 and a limiting rib 146 to limit the rotation of the first rotating member 14 in the separated state. The limiting rib 1111 is formed on the upper surface of the lower wall 1110. Here, the lower wall 1110 is located below the mounting base 11 and protrudes from the front side of the mounting base 11. The limiting rib 1111 is an elongated strip-like structure that protrudes from the upper surface of the lower wall 1110 and extends in the front-to-back direction.

[0091] The limiting rib 146 is an elongated strip-shaped structure that protrudes from the left side of the first rotating member 14 and is elongated in the front-to-back direction. When the partition assembly 10 is in the separated state, the limiting rib 1111 and the limiting rib 146 abut against each other. The engaging structure is shown in FIG13 .

[0092] Figure 11This is a perspective view of another embodiment of the partition assembly 10 in a rotated state. During the transition from the aforementioned stowed state to the rotated state, the second rotating member 15 rotates about the rotation axis 20. Specifically, when viewing the partition assembly 10 from the left side, the second rotating member 15 rotates approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise. Meanwhile, the first rotating member 14 does not rotate, maintaining its longitudinal direction parallel to the left-right direction.

[0093] Figure 12 This is a perspective view of the partition assembly 10 in another embodiment in the partition state. During the transition from the rotation state to the partition state, the first rotating member 14 is always in contact with the second end surface 112 of the mounting base 11. Specifically, when the partition assembly 10 is viewed from the front view, the second rotating member 15 rotates about 90 degrees counterclockwise with the rotation axis 18 as the rotation center. When the first rotating member 14 rotates, Figure 10 The guide block 144 of the first rotating member 14 is shown moving along the guide groove 118 of the mounting seat 11 .

[0094] When the partition assembly 10 is in the partitioned state, the second rotating member 15 is preferably perpendicular to the second end surface 112 of the mounting base 11. In this state, the two surfaces of the second rotating member 15 with the largest areas face left and right, respectively, serving to separate the storage area 31. Furthermore, after the first rotating member 14 rotates, its length becomes parallel to the vertical direction.

[0095] Figure 13A yes Figure 12 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the cross section of the partition assembly 10 at AA. Figure 13B yes Figure 13A Magnified view of the middle dashed area.

[0096] Reference Figure 13A When the partition assembly 10 is in the separated state, the limiting rib 146 of the first rotating member 14 and the limiting rib 1111 of the mounting seat 11 abut against each other.

[0097] Reference Figure 13B , limiting rib 146 protrudes downward from the lower surface of the first rotating member 14. Limiting rib 1111 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the lower wall 1110. During the transition from the rotating state to the separated state, limiting rib 146 rotates counterclockwise as the first rotating member 14 rotates, passes over limiting rib 1111, and abuts against the first end surface 111 from the right side of limiting rib 1111. Thus, even in the separated state, if a plastic bottle or the like rests on the second rotating member 15, the first rotating member 14 can be restricted from clockwise rotation.

[0098] like Figure 8As shown, the partition assembly 10 of the other embodiment is used to partition the storage area 31 of the refrigerator 32 .

[0099] According to this embodiment, the following main effects can be achieved.

[0100] Reference Figure 1 In the storage state, the second rotating member 15 is attached to the second end surface 112 of the mounting seat 11, thereby being able to better store the second rotating member 15 without the need for separation. Figure 7 In the separation state shown, the second rotating member 15 is preferably perpendicular to the second end surface 112 of the mounting seat 11 , thereby enabling the storage area 31 to be divided at any position of the storage wall 30 using the second rotating member 15 when separation is required.

[0101] Reference Figure 7 In the separated state, the second rotating member 15 is preferably perpendicular to the end surface of the first rotating member 14 , thereby enabling the end surface of the second rotating member 15 to separate the storage wall 30 .

[0102] Reference Figure 7 The first rotating member 14 is supported by the support member 16, thereby preventing the first rotating member 14 from rotating in the separated state.

[0103] Reference Figure 7 The support member 16 is accommodated in the first rotating member 14 , thereby limiting the rotation range of the first rotating member 14 through the support member 16 .

[0104] Reference Figure 5A Even when the thickness of the storage wall 30 is different, the engaging portion 12 can be firmly engaged with the storage wall 30 by changing the position of the adjusting groove 123 in which the adjusting block 131 of the adjusting member 13 engages.

[0105] Reference Figure 12 By rotating the first rotating member 14 in close contact with the second end surface 112 of the mounting seat 11 , the stored state and the partitioned state can be smoothly switched.

[0106] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0107] For example, you can Figure 7 The partition assembly 10 shown is formed Figure 10The limiting ribs 1111 and 146 are shown. For example, the limiting ribs 1111 are formed on the surface where the second rotating member 15 contacts the support member 16. In addition, the limiting ribs 146 are formed on the surface where the support member 16 contacts the second rotating member 15. Figure 7 In the separated state shown, the limiting ribs 1111 and the limiting ribs 146 abut against each other, thereby limiting the rotation of the second rotating member 15 in the separated state.
