[0042] Combination Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a storage compartment, including a compartment body 100 and a carrier plate 200 .

[0043] The carrier plate 200 is disposed inside the compartment body 100 for storing articles, and can move between a first state and a second state relative to the compartment body 100. In the first state, the carrier plate 200 is in an inclined state.

[0044] Figure 1 2 is a schematic diagram of a storage compartment structure of a carrier plate 200 in a first state provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 2 is a schematic diagram of a storage compartment structure in which a carrier plate 200 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is in a second state.

[0045] Combination Figure 1-2 As shown, since the first state download plate 200 is in an inclined state, the first state is used to store long strips of food, which can extend the effective length of the storage space. The storage compartment provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can make it more convenient to store and access long strips of food in the refrigerator.

[0046] Optionally, the storage compartment further includes a driving device, which is drivingly connected to the carrier plate 200 and is used to drive the carrier plate 200 to move between the first state and the second state.

[0047] The carrier plate 200 is driven by the driving device to move between the first state and the second state, and the food moves with the carrier plate 200, so that the position of the food can be moved so that the position of the food meets the needs of the user.

[0048] Optionally, the storage compartment also includes: a controller, which is connected to the driving device and is used to control the driving device to drive the carrier 200 to move to the second state when receiving a signal from the user to pre-take out an item, and to control the driving device to drive the carrier 200 to move to the first state when receiving a signal from the user to pre-store an item.

[0049] More specifically, the compartment body 100 includes a door body, and in the first state, the distance between the loading plate 200 and the door body is greater than the distance between the loading plate 200 and the door body in the second state. The driving device includes: a telescopic movement mechanism 301, which is drivingly connected to the carrier plate 200 and is used to drive the carrier plate 200 to perform telescopic movement in a direction close to or away from the door body.

[0050] The compartment body 100 further includes a main body, which defines a placement space, and the carrier plate 200 is located in the placement space. The door body can be opened and closed on the main body to open or close the placement space.

[0051] In the first state, the distance between the loading plate 200 and the door body is greater than that between the loading plate 200 and the door body in the second state, so that after the user opens the door body, it is easier to get the food on the loading plate 200 in the second state. Therefore, in the first state, the loading plate 200 can be used to store food, and in the second state, the user can take out the food stored on the loading plate 200.

[0052] Through the telescopic movement mechanism 301 drivingly connected to the carrier plate 200, the telescopic movement mechanism 301 can be extended during the transition from the first state to the second state to push the carrier plate 200 toward the door body, thereby facilitating the taking of food.

[0053] Optionally, the telescopic movement mechanism 301 may use a telescopic motor, an electric push rod, or a common mechanical telescopic rod without a power source.

[0054] Optionally, the driving device further includes: a rotating motion mechanism, which is drivingly connected to the carrier plate 200 and is used to drive the carrier plate 200 to rotate. The telescopic motion mechanism 301 cooperates with the rotating motion mechanism to enable the carrier plate 200 to move between a first state and a second state, and the angle formed between the carrier plate 200 and the horizontal plane in the second state is greater than the angle formed between the carrier plate 200 and the horizontal plane in the first state. In this way, in the second state, the food can be made to be in a state that is easy to take, so that the food can be taken easily.

[0055] In the process of changing from the first state to the second state, the rotary motion mechanism drives the carrier 200 to rotate, so that the angle between the carrier 200 and the horizontal plane increases, that is, compared with the first state, the carrier 200 in the second state is closer to the vertical state or is in the vertical state. In the process of changing from the first state to the second state, the angle between the carrier 200 and the horizontal plane gradually increases within the range of (0°, 90°].

[0056] In this way, the angle between the carrier plate 200 and the horizontal plane is changed by the rotating motion mechanism. The angle between the carrier plate 200 and the horizontal plane in the first state is smaller than the angle between the carrier plate 200 and the horizontal plane in the second state. In addition, the carrier plate 200 in the first state is farther away from the door body, while the carrier plate 200 in the second state is closer to the door body, so that the carrier plate 200 in the first state is more suitable for placing food, and the second state is more suitable for users to take food from the carrier plate 200.

[0057] Optionally, the telescopic movement mechanism 301 includes a first end and a second end.

[0058] The first end is connected to the compartment body 100; the second end is arranged opposite to the first end, for example, the first end is far away from the door body, the second end is close to the door body, and the second end is drivingly connected to the carrier 200. In this way, the position of the carrier 200 relative to the door body in the storage compartment can be adjusted by the telescopic movement mechanism 301.

[0059] Optionally, the rotation mechanism includes a first rotation mechanism. The first rotation mechanism is disposed between the second end and the carrier plate 200 and is used to drive the carrier plate 200 to rotate relative to the telescopic movement mechanism 301 .

[0060] The first rotation mechanism 302 changes the rotation angle of the carrier plate 200 relative to the second end, and changes the state of the carrier plate 200 relative to the second end, so that the angle between the carrier plate 200 and the horizontal plane is adjustable.

[0061] During the transition from the first state to the second state, the first rotation mechanism 302 drives the carrier plate 200 to rotate, so that the angle between the carrier plate 200 and the horizontal plane increases.

[0062] Optionally, the rotational movement mechanism further includes a second rotational mechanism, which is disposed at the first end and is used to drive the telescopic movement mechanism 301 to rotate relative to the compartment body 100 .

[0063] The second rotating mechanism changes the rotation angle between the first end and the compartment body 100, and changes the state of the telescopic movement mechanism 301 relative to the compartment body 100. Therefore, by adjusting the rotation angle of the telescopic movement mechanism 301 relative to the compartment body 100, the position and angle of the carrier plate 200 relative to the compartment body 100 can be adjusted, so that the first state and the second state can better meet the needs of users.

[0064] Optionally, the first rotating mechanism and the second rotating mechanism may be a cam type rotating shaft, a damping rotating shaft or a hollow rotating mechanism.

[0065] Figure 3 2 is a schematic diagram of a storage compartment structure of another carrier plate 200 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure in a first state. Figure 4 2 is a schematic diagram of a storage compartment structure of another carrier plate 200 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure in a second state.

[0066] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in the first state, the telescopic motion mechanism 301 is tilted toward the bottom of the compartment body 100 to increase the effective storage space. In the process of switching from the first state to the second state, the second rotating motion mechanism 303 drives the first end of the telescopic motion mechanism 301 to rotate upward, and the second end moves upward around the first end, for example, rotating until the telescopic motion mechanism 301 is in a horizontal state, so that the telescopic rod is lifted, and the first rotating motion mechanism 302 drives the carrier 200 to rotate relative to the second end, increasing the angle between the carrier 200 and the horizontal plane. In order to facilitate users to take out food, the telescopic motion mechanism 301 is extended, that is, the first end moves toward the direction close to the door body, so that under the joint drive of the first rotating motion mechanism 302, the second rotating motion mechanism 303 and the telescopic motion mechanism 301, the carrier 200 moves to the second state.

[0067] FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of another storage compartment provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0068] Optionally, a power supply is provided outside the storage compartment.

[0069] The power source is connected to the compartment body 100, or the power source extends into the compartment body 100 through a power line, and is respectively connected to the second rotational motion mechanism 303, the telescopic motion mechanism 301, and the first rotational motion mechanism 302. The power source is used to drive the second rotational motion mechanism 303, the telescopic motion mechanism 301, and the first rotational motion mechanism 302 to move.

[0070] As shown in FIG5 , a small hole is provided at the connection between the compartment body 100 and the second rotary motion mechanism 303. The power source outside the storage compartment passes through the small hole through the line, and is connected to the second rotary motion mechanism 303, the telescopic motion mechanism 301 and the first rotary motion mechanism 302 in sequence, providing power for the second rotary motion mechanism 303, the telescopic motion mechanism 301 and the first rotary motion mechanism 302. In this way, the same power source can be used to connect the three components, and the automatic change of the carrier 200 between the first state and the second state can be realized more simply.

[0071] Optionally, the power cord passes through the second rotating motion mechanism 303, enters the interior of the telescopic motion mechanism 301, and is connected to the first rotating motion mechanism 302. In this way, the configuration of the power cord is facilitated, and the wear or pinching damage caused by the power cord being exposed to the outside is reduced.

[0072] Optionally, the refrigerator includes a refrigerator body, the refrigerator body defines a refrigeration space, and the storage compartment is arranged inside the refrigeration space.

[0073] The refrigerator body comprises a box body and a refrigerator door which can be opened and closed and covers the box body. The box body and the refrigerator door together define a refrigeration space.

[0074] A travel switch 403 is provided between the refrigerator door and the box body, or a forming switch is provided between the door body and the main body. When the refrigerator door is opened or the door body is opened, the travel switch 403 is activated, and a signal for pre-taking out items is sent to the controller, and the driving device drives the carrier 200 to move to the second state.

[0075] Optionally, a pre-storage switch connected to the controller is provided on the surface of the refrigerator door. The user operates the pre-storage switch to send a signal of pre-storing items to the controller through the pre-storage switch. The controller controls the driving device to drive the carrier 200 to move to the first state and maintain it.

[0076] If the door is opened when the pre-storage switch is activated, the storage compartment inner loading plate 200 is in the first state.

[0077] When the refrigerator door or door body is opened, the driving device automatically performs the movement from the first process to the second process, and the carrier plate 200 transports the stored food or articles to the second state for easy access. The pre-storage switch can also be pressed to keep the storage compartment in the first state silent after the door body is opened.

[0078] Furthermore, the storage compartment further includes: a sensor and a controller. The sensor is used to detect the position of the carrier 200 or an item (such as food) or the distance relative to the door body; the controller is connected to the sensor, the telescopic motion mechanism 301 and the rotary motion mechanism, and is used to control the telescopic motion mechanism 301 to drive the carrier 200 to move to a preset position and then control the rotary motion mechanism to drive the carrier 200 to rotate when receiving a signal from the user to pre-take out an item.

[0079] Figure 6 2 is a schematic diagram of a storage compartment structure of another carrier plate 200 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure in a first state. Figure 7 2 is a schematic diagram of a storage compartment structure of another carrier plate 200 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure in a second state.

[0080] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, optionally, the sensor includes a first sensor 401 disposed at the lower half of the door body. The first sensor 401 is used to detect the distance between the carrier 200 or the lower half of the article and the door body, the travel switch 403 is actuated, and a signal for pre-taking out the article is sent to the controller, and the driving device drives the carrier 200 to move to the second state. In the process of transitioning from the first state to the second state, when the distance between the carrier 200 or the lower half of the article and the door body reaches a first preset distance, the first sensor 401 sends a signal to the controller, and the telescopic motion mechanism 301 stops extending. This reduces the possibility that when there are a lot of food or articles on the carrier 200, the telescopic motion mechanism 301 extends too much, and the food or goods on the carrier 200 are pushed out of the compartment body 100 and fall.

[0081] Furthermore, the sensor also includes a second sensor 402 disposed on the upper half of the door body, for detecting the distance between the carrier 200 or the upper half of the article and the door body. In the process of switching from the first state to the second state, after the distance between the carrier 200 or the lower half of the article and the door body reaches the first preset distance, the telescopic motion mechanism 301 stops extending, the first rotary motion mechanism 302 increases the angle between the carrier 200 and the horizontal plane, and the second rotary motion mechanism 303 drives the telescopic motion mechanism 301 to rotate upward, for example, drives the telescopic motion mechanism 301 to rotate to a horizontal state. When the distance between the carrier 200 or the upper half of the article and the door body reaches the second preset distance, the second sensor 402 sends a signal to the controller, and the first rotary motion mechanism 302 and the second rotary motion mechanism 303 both stop rotating and switch to the second state and remain silent. Among them, the second preset distance is greater than the first preset distance, so that the carrier 200 tilts in the second state. In this way, the food or articles on the carrier 200 can be prevented from leaning on the carrier 200, reducing the possibility of falling.

[0082] Optionally, the storage compartment may be disposed inside an air-cooled refrigerator or a direct-cooled refrigerator, and the temperature inside the compartment body 100 may be regulated by a fan or a cold coil, respectively, to preserve the stored food.

[0083] Optionally, when the storage compartment is arranged inside an air-cooled refrigerator, an air outlet is provided on a side wall of the compartment body 100 , and the air outlet is located above or below the first state download plate 200 .

[0084] The refrigerator is provided with an air duct, and the evaporator and the fan are both located in the air duct. The air outlet is connected to the air duct. Driven by the fan, the air in the refrigeration space enters the air duct through the return air outlet of the air duct, exchanges heat with the evaporator, and then flows out from the air outlet 501 to the interior of the compartment body 100 to preserve and cool the food.

[0085] The air outlet is located above or below the first state loading plate 200. In this way, the air outlet will not be blocked by the loading plate 200, ensuring that the air entering the compartment body 100 from the air outlet can flow to the food on the loading plate 200.

[0086] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another storage compartment provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, combined with Figure 8 As shown, air outlets 501 are provided above the rear side wall and below the side wall. In this way, better preservation and refrigeration can be provided for the food stored in the storage compartment.

[0087] Combination Fig. 9 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a refrigerator, including a refrigerator body 300 and any one of the above-mentioned storage compartments 400 .

[0088] The refrigerator body 300 defines a refrigeration space, and the storage compartment 400 is disposed inside the refrigeration space. The storage compartment 400 can be disposed in the refrigeration space longitudinally or transversely.

[0089] By using the refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, long strips of food can be easily stored and retrieved in the refrigerator.
