[0045] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in one embodiment, the storage container includes a storage body 100, a storage cover 200 and a transmission assembly 300. The storage body 100 is formed with a storage space 101 having an opening. The storage cover 200 is slidably connected to the storage body 100, and the storage cover 200 has a closed position for closing the storage space 101 and an open position for opening the storage space 101. The transmission assembly 300 is transmission-connected to the storage cover 200, so that the movable storage body 100 drives the transmission assembly 300 to move, thereby driving the storage cover 200 to switch between the closed position and the open position.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the storage body 100 is cylindrical, and the circumferential wall of the storage body 100 forms an opening of the storage space 101. The storage body 100 moving along its own axis drives the storage cover 200 to switch between the closed position and the open position along the direction around the axis of the storage body 100 via the transmission assembly 300.

[0047] Specifically, the cylindrical storage body 100 has two circular end walls and an arc-shaped circumferential wall, and the end walls and the circumferential wall enclose a storage space 101. Part of the circumferential wall is removed from the storage body 100, so that an opening of the storage space 101 is formed in the circumferential wall. During use, the storage body 100 is placed horizontally, so that the circumferential wall serves as the bottom wall of the storage body 100, and the stored objects are placed in the storage space 101 through the opening.

[0048] Furthermore, the storage cover 200 is an arc-shaped plate, or in other words, the storage cover 200 is a cylindrical part of the circumferential wall. In addition, the inner diameter of the storage cover 200 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the storage body 100, so that the storage cover 200 can cover the circumference of the storage body 100 and can move in the direction around the axis of the storage body 100, that is, move in the circumferential direction of the storage body 100. Figure 1 As shown, when the storage cover 200 is in the closed position, the storage cover 200 covers the opening of the storage body 100, thereby forming a relatively closed storage space 101 with the storage body 100. Figure 2 As shown, when the storage cover 200 is in the open position, the opening of the storage space 101 is exposed for taking out and placing stored objects.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, during the use of the storage container, the storage body 100 can move along the direction of its own axis. Taking the position of the storage body 100 in the static storage state as the original position, when the user needs to take or place the stored objects, the storage body 100 is pulled along the axis of the storage body 100 to move away from the original position. In the process of the storage body 100 being pulled along the axis direction, the transmission assembly 300 is driven to move, thereby driving the storage cover 200 to move around the axis of the storage body 100. As the storage body 100 continues to move, the storage cover 200 also continues to move away from the closed position, so that the opening of the storage space 101 is opened more and more. Therefore, when the storage body 100 is pulled to the appropriate position, the storage cover 200 is also in the open position, so that the user can directly take or place the stored objects. When the storage body 100 is returned to the original position, the storage cover 200 can be driven to move to the closed position through the transmission assembly 300. When the storage body 100 returns to the original position, the storage cover 200 also returns to the closed position, so that the storage space 101 is in a relatively closed storage state.

[0050] In the solution of this embodiment, by connecting the transmission assembly 300 to the storage cover 200, the movable storage body 100 can drive the transmission assembly 300 to move, thereby driving the storage cover 200 to move, so that the storage cover 200 can automatically switch between the closed position of closing the storage space 101 and the open position of opening the storage space 101 along with the movement of the storage body 100. Therefore, when it is necessary to take or place the stored objects in the storage space 101, when the storage body 100 is pulled out, the storage cover 200 has already opened the storage space 101 driven by the transmission assembly 300. After taking or placing the stored objects, the storage body 100 only needs to be pushed back to the original position, and the storage cover 200 can return to the closed position to close the storage space 101.

[0051] Therefore, when using the storage container, one only needs to pull out the storage body 100 without having to manually open the storage cover 200. This allows the storage container to form a relatively closed storage space 101 while making it very convenient to open and close the storage space 101, thereby helping to improve the user experience.

[0052] Furthermore, by setting the storage body 100 to be cylindrical, the storage cover 200 can be switched between the closed position and the open position along the direction around the axis of the storage body 100, that is, the storage cover 200 is always attached to the outer periphery of the storage body 100. Therefore, during the movement of the storage cover 200, the longitudinal space and the transverse space jointly occupied by the storage body 100 and the storage cover 200 will not change too much, which helps to improve the utilization rate of the storage container to the installation space.

[0053] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the storage body may also be in other shapes such as square. In addition, the storage cover may also be slidable transversely to switch between the closed position and the open position.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, specifically, the transmission assembly 300 includes a first bevel gear 310 and a second bevel gear 320. The rotation axis of the first bevel gear 310 is perpendicular to the axis of the storage body 100. The transmission axis of the second bevel gear 320 is parallel to the axis of the storage body 100, the second bevel gear 320 is meshed with the first bevel gear 310, and the second bevel gear 320 is transmission-connected with the storage cover 200. The storage body 100 moving along its own axis drives the first bevel gear 310 to rotate, the first bevel gear 310 drives the second bevel gear 320 to rotate, and then drives the storage cover 200 to move.

[0055] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the transmission assembly 300 also includes a first column gear 330, a second column gear 340 and a fixed rack 350. The first column gear 330 is concentrically connected to the first bevel gear 310. The second column gear 340 is concentrically connected to the second bevel gear 320 and is transmission-connected to the storage cover 200. The fixed rack 350 is meshedly connected to the first column gear 330. The storage body 100 moving along its own axis drives the first column gear 330 to move relative to the fixed rack 350, thereby rotating.

[0056] Specifically, the fixed rack 350 extends along the axis direction of the storage body 100, that is, along the moving direction of the storage body 100. The rotation axes of the first bevel gear 310 and the first column gear 330 extend in the longitudinal direction. The first bevel gear 310 and the first column gear 330 are connected by a connecting shaft, and the axis of the connecting shaft is the rotation axis of the first bevel gear 310 and the first column gear 330. The connecting shaft between the first bevel gear 310 and the first column gear 330 passes through the circumferential wall of the storage body 100, so the movable storage body 100 can drive the first column gear 330 to move. The first column gear 330 is meshed with the fixed rack 350, so when the first column gear 330 moves with the storage body 100, the first column gear 330 moves along the fixed rack 350, so that the first column gear 330 is rotated by utilizing the meshing relationship between the first column gear 330 and the fixed rack 350, and then the first bevel gear 310 is driven to rotate through the connecting shaft.

[0057] Further, the rotation axes of the second bevel gear 320 and the second column gear 340 coincide with the axis of the storage body 100. The second bevel gear 320 and the second column gear 340 are connected by a connecting shaft, and the axis of the connecting shaft is the rotation axis of the second bevel gear 320 and the second column gear 340. The second column gear 340 is meshedly connected with the inner surface of the storage cover 200. The rotating first bevel gear 310 drives the second bevel gear 320 to rotate through the meshing relationship, and the second bevel gear 320 drives the second column gear 340 to rotate through the connecting shaft. The second column gear 340 drives the storage cover 200 to rotate.

[0058] By utilizing the transmission relationship among the first bevel gear 310, the second bevel gear 320, the first column gear 330, the second column gear 340 and the fixed rack 350 to drive the storage cover 200 to move, the transmission between the gears is more reliable and the transmission relationship is more precise, which facilitates accurate design of the sizes of the gears and racks according to the size and movable distance of the storage body 100.

[0059] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the first column gear may not be provided, and only a connecting shaft connected to the first bevel gear may be provided. The connecting shaft rotates with the movement of the storage body by utilizing the friction between the outer peripheral surface and the outside world, thereby driving the first bevel gear to rotate.

[0060] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the second column gear may not be provided, but a connecting rod may be provided to directly connect the second bevel gear to the storage cover, or the second bevel gear may be directly meshed and connected to the storage cover.

[0061] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, multiple column gears may be provided between the second bevel gear and the storage cover, so that the transmission efficiency can be adjusted by utilizing the number of column gears, and a suitable number of column gears can be selected according to the length of the storage body.

[0062] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the circumferential wall of the storage body 100 is provided with a limiting rib 110. The storage cover 200 is provided with a limiting groove 201, and the limiting rib 110 and the limiting groove 201 cooperate with each other to guide the movement of the storage cover 200. Specifically, the limiting rib 110 extends along the circumference of the storage body 100, and the extending direction of the limiting groove 201 is the same as that of the limiting rib 110. In the process of the storage cover 200 moving from the closed position to the open position, the limiting rib 110 is continuously embedded in the limiting groove 201, that is, the overlap between the limiting rib 110 and the limiting groove 201 is increasing.

[0063] By providing a limiting rib 110 on the storage body 100 and a limiting groove 201 on the storage cover 200, the limiting rib 110 can move in the limiting groove 201 during the movement of the storage cover 200. That is to say, the limiting groove 201 guides and limits the movement of the limiting rib 110, thereby guiding and limiting the movement of the storage cover 200, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the storage cover 200.

[0064] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the limiting groove may be formed by the inner surface of the storage cover being recessed outward, so that the outer surface of the storage cover has no gap. Alternatively, the limiting groove may be formed by a convex rib protruding inward from the inner surface of the storage cover, so that the outer surface of the storage cover has no gap.

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the storage container includes a support member 400, and the support member 400 supports the storage body 100, and the storage body 100 can slide relative to the support member 400. Specifically, the support member 400 is fixedly installed during the use of the storage container, and a slide groove (not marked in the figure) is provided on the support member 400, and the slide groove extends along the moving direction of the storage body 100. The storage body 100 is provided with a sliding bar 120, and the sliding bar 120 is embedded in the slide groove. The sliding bar 120 can slide in the slide groove. Therefore, the support member 400 supports the storage body 100 through the interaction force between the sliding bar 120 and the sliding bar 120. At the same time, the sliding bar 120 can slide in the slide groove, so that the storage body 100 can move along the axis.

[0066] By providing the support member 400 , the storage body 100 can be supported, and the storage body 100 can move relative to the support member 400 , thereby guiding the movement of the storage body 100 .

[0067] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the support member may also be a component that supports the storage body from both sides, and the support surface has the same shape as the circumferential surface of the storage body, so that the storage body can move relative to the support member.

[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, further, a plurality of support ribs 130 are provided in the storage space 101. The support ribs 130 are used to support the stored objects placed in the storage space 101. Specifically, the support ribs 130 are raised from the inner surface of the circumferential wall of the storage body 100 in the direction pointing inward. The support ribs 130 can abut against the stored objects placed in the storage space, so that there is a gap between the stored objects and the inner wall of the storage body 100, which not only allows the entire surface of the stored objects to be fully exposed in the refrigeration space, thereby improving the refrigeration effect of the stored objects, but also prevents some special stored objects from sticking to the inner wall of the storage body 100.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, further, a plurality of through holes 102 are provided at the bottom of the storage body 100, and the through holes 102 connect the storage space 101 with the outside. The through holes 102 and the support ribs 130 are staggered and arranged in a display manner. By providing the through holes 102 in the storage body 100, cold air can enter from the through holes 102, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the storage space 101. Moreover, the liquid accumulated in the storage space 101 can flow out from the through holes 102, thereby preventing the liquid from accumulating in the storage space 101 and causing odor in the storage space 101. In addition, the support ribs 130 are used to support the stored objects, so that the cold air entering the storage space 101 from the through holes 102 can better cool the stored objects, and it is also conducive to the liquid flowing out from the stored objects.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, further, a functional module 140 is provided in the storage space 101. Among them, the functional module 140 can be a sterilization module, such as an ultraviolet sterilization module, an active oxygen sterilization module, etc. Alternatively, the functional module 140 can be a deodorization module, such as a module containing activated carbon, or a module containing other deodorants. Alternatively, the functional module 140 can be a light-emitting module, such as a general lighting module, or a module that emits special light for food to absorb to extend the preservation effect. Alternatively, the functional module 140 can be a temperature measurement module, such as a temperature sensor. Alternatively, the functional module 140 can be a humidity control module, such as a module that generates water vapor or absorbs water vapor. Alternatively, the functional module 140 can be an image monitoring module, such as an image camera, or a thermal imaging camera, etc.

[0071] By providing the functional module 140 in the storage space 101, it can assist storage and improve the user experience.

[0072] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, further, a handle 150 is provided on the end wall of the storage body 100 to facilitate the user to pull out the storage body 100 .

[0073] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the storage container further includes a base 500. The storage body 100 is disposed on the base 500. Specifically, the base 500 is a double-layer structure, and each layer can be used to set the storage body 100. The support member 400 is fixed on the base 500, and the fixed rack 350 is also fixed on the base 500. The storage body 100 is slidably connected to the support member 400 through the sliding bar 120, and the support member 400 supports the storage body 100.

[0074] When the storage body 100 moves relative to the support member 400, the first column gear 330 is driven to move along the fixed rack 350, so that the first column gear 330 is rotated by the meshing relationship between the first column gear 330 and the fixed rack 350, and then the first bevel gear 310 is driven to rotate through the connecting shaft. The rotating first bevel gear 310 drives the second bevel gear 320 to rotate through the meshing relationship, and the second bevel gear 320 drives the second column gear 340 to rotate through the connecting shaft. The second column gear 340 drives the storage cover 200 to rotate.

[0075] By arranging the storage body 100 on the base 500, the storage container can be assembled and then installed in the refrigerator as a whole, so that the installation process of the storage container can be more convenient.

[0076] It should be noted that the figure shows an example in which a storage body 100 is provided on the base 500. It is understandable that a plurality of storage bodies 100 may be provided on the base 500. The base 500 may be provided with a storage body 100 on each layer, or may be provided with a storage body 100 on only one layer, and the other layer may use the base 500 itself to place food.

[0077] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the base may also be a single-layer structure, or a three-layer or more layer structure.

[0078] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the storage container further includes a storage piece 600. The storage piece 600 forms a storage space. The storage piece 600 is arranged on the front end wall of the storage body 100, and the storage piece 600 is pivotally connected to the storage body 100, so that it can be switched between a position where the front end wall of the storage body 100 covers the opening of the storage space and a position where the opening of the storage space is exposed to the outside. Specifically, the storage piece 600 is cylindrical, and one end is opened to form the opening of the storage space. The circumferential wall of one end of the opening is pivotally connected to the storage body 100, and the diameter of the storage piece 600 is equivalent to that of the storage body 100. Therefore, the storage piece 600 can be rotated to a position where the opening of the storage space faces the storage body 100 so that the front end wall of the storage body 100 covers the opening of the storage space. It can also be rotated to a position where the axis of the storage piece 600 is perpendicular to or has an angle with the axis of the storage body 100, so that the opening of the storage space is exposed to the outside.

[0079] During use, the storage piece 600 is usually in a position where the front end wall of the storage body 100 covers the opening of the storage space. When the user needs to take or place stored objects from the storage body 100, if the stored objects are difficult to find, the storage piece 600 can be rotated to a position where the opening of the storage space is exposed to the outside, so that the storage space can be used to temporarily place some stored objects, making it more convenient to take or place the stored objects.

[0080] like Fig. 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the refrigeration device includes a box body 10 and a storage container 20 in any of the above embodiments. The box body 10 defines a storage compartment 11. The storage container 20 is arranged in the storage compartment 11. Specifically, the refrigeration device is a refrigerator. The storage compartment 11 can be a compartment provided in a refrigerator such as a refrigeration compartment, a freezing compartment or a temperature-changing compartment. The base 500 is assembled in the storage compartment 11, and the storage body 100 and other structures are arranged on the base 500.

[0081] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the base 500 may not be provided, and the storage container 20 may be directly disposed on the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 11 .

[0082] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the refrigeration device may also include a plurality of storage containers, which may be arranged in the same storage compartment or in different storage compartments.

[0083] Reference Fig. 9 As shown, the refrigeration device includes two magnetic field assemblies 30. The two magnetic field assemblies 30 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the storage container 20. The magnetic field assembly 30 is arranged in the accommodating chamber 11 and covers the storage space 101 to generate a magnetic field in the storage space 101. Specifically, the two magnetic field assemblies 30 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the storage container 20. The magnetic field assembly 30 is flat. The projection of the storage space 101 on the plane where the surface of the magnetic field assembly 30 faces it falls on the surface of the magnetic field assembly 30, so that the magnetic field assembly 30 generates a magnetic field in the storage space 101, thereby playing a magnetic field auxiliary role in the refrigeration and freezing of food.

[0084] By arranging the magnetic field assembly 30 in the accommodation chamber 11, the magnetic field assembly 30 can generate a magnetic field in the storage space 101, thereby playing a magnetic field auxiliary role in the storage of food, and improving the preservation effect of food. Specifically, in the refrigerated state, the magnetic field can keep the food in a non-frozen state at a lower temperature, which helps to extend the storage time of the food. In the frozen state, the magnetic field can prevent the formation of large ice crystals in the food, thereby preventing the large ice crystals from piercing the cell wall of the food and causing the loss of juice.

[0085] Furthermore, by arranging two magnetic field assemblies 30 in the accommodating chamber 11 and arranging the two magnetic field assemblies 30 on opposite sides of the storage container 20, it is helpful to improve the uniformity of the magnetic field, thereby helping to improve the uniformity of the food preservation effect.

[0086] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the two magnetic field components may also be respectively arranged at the front and rear sides or the left and right sides of the storage container, as long as they are arranged relative to each other.

[0087] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the refrigeration device may also be provided with only one magnetic field component.

[0088] In addition, it should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the magnetic field assembly may also be disposed in the box, that is, in the inner layer of the box wall.

[0089] Specifically, the magnetic field assembly 30 may include a permanent magnet sheet and a uniform magnetic plate, both of which are flat and arranged in close proximity, so that the magnetic field assembly 30 is flat as a whole. The permanent magnet sheet is used to generate a magnetic field, and the uniform magnetic plate is arranged on the side of the permanent magnet sheet away from the storage container 20, and the uniform magnetic plate is used to guide the magnetic field to improve the uniformity of the magnetic field in the coverage area. The uniform magnetic plate is made of a magnetic conductive material, such as silicon steel material. The magnetic field assembly 30 may also include an electromagnetic coil, which is arranged on the side of the permanent magnet sheet facing the storage container 20, and the electromagnetic coil is used to supplement the magnetic field of the permanent magnet sheet when needed.

[0090] It should be noted that the magnetic field assembly may also be just a permanent magnet sheet and a shim plate, or just an electromagnetic coil and a shim plate, or just a permanent magnet sheet, or just an electromagnetic coil.

[0091] like Fig. 9 As shown, further, the refrigeration device includes a support member 40. The support member 40 is fixed to the side wall of the box body 10. For example, it can be fixed by screws, buckles or adhesives. The support member 40 is formed with a clamping groove 41, and the magnetic field assembly 30 can be pulled out and arranged in the clamping groove 41.

[0092] Specifically, each magnetic field assembly 30 corresponds to two support members 40, and the two support members 40 are respectively arranged on the left and right side walls of the box body 10, and the clamping grooves 41 of the two support members 40 are arranged opposite to each other. The magnetic field assembly 30 can be inserted into the clamping grooves 41 of the two support members 40 in the front-to-back direction, so as to be supported by the support members 40. Therefore, by pulling the magnetic field assembly 30 outward, the magnetic field assembly 30 can be pulled out of the clamping groove 41.

[0093] By providing the supporting member 40 with the clamping groove 41 in the box body 10, the magnetic field assembly 30 can be withdrawably arranged in the clamping groove 41. Therefore, it is convenient for the user to install and remove the magnetic field assembly 30.

[0094] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments of the present application, a magnetic field assembly 30 may also be configured with a support member 40, in which case the width of the clamping groove 41 needs to be equal to the thickness of the magnetic field assembly 30 to tightly clamp the magnetic field assembly 30. That is, a magnetic field assembly 30 is configured with at least one support member 40.

[0095] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, when the magnetic field assembly is placed longitudinally, a support member may also be configured. When two support members are configured, the two support members are arranged on opposite sides of the magnetic field assembly in the longitudinal direction. When one support member is configured, it is preferably arranged at the bottom end of the magnetic field assembly.

[0096] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the present invention can still be directly determined or derived based on the content disclosed in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
