Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refrigerators, and particularly relates to a drawer assembly for a refrigerator and a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] Currently, as a daily household appliance, the refrigerator provides a lot of convenience for consumers' lives. With the improvement of people's living standards, consumers have higher and higher requirements for food preservation. In addition to requiring the refrigerator to ensure the long-term preservation of food, it is also required that the water in the stored food, especially fresh ingredients such as vegetables and fruits, cannot be quickly lost. However, with the popularization of air-cooled refrigerators, the problem of water loss during food preservation has become more and more obvious. In order to solve the problem of water loss during food preservation, drawers and covers are generally provided in the refrigerator compartment. The cover is disposed above the drawer to provide a relatively sealed environment, which is beneficial to retaining the water in the food.

[0003] The related art discloses a fresh-keeping drawer and a refrigerator, including: a drawer having an opening for accommodating and taking out items to be fresh-kept; a guiding member disposed on the side wall of the drawer; and a cover plate that can be relatively fixed on the inner wall of the refrigerator, and the cover plate has a degree of freedom in the vertical direction, and a sliding member is disposed at a portion of the cover plate corresponding to the guiding member. The sliding member can reciprocally move relative to the guiding member under the constraint of the guiding member; when the drawer is pushed to the closed state, the sliding member is under the constraint of the guiding member, and the front edge of the cover plate coincides with the front portion of the opening; when the drawer is pulled out, the sliding member is disengaged from the constraint of the guiding member, and the drawer is disengaged from the cover plate. The cover plate of the fresh-keeping drawer can effectively seal the drawer, reduce the cooling air entering the interior of the drawer, and reduce the influence of the cooling air entering the interior of the drawer on the items to be fresh-kept, thereby improving the fresh-keeping effect of the items to be fresh-kept.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is found that at least the following problems exist in the related art:

[0005] The related art uses the cooperation of a sliding member and a guiding member to achieve the relative movement between the cover plate and the drawer. However, after the sliding member and the guiding member are disposed on the drawer, they occupy a relatively large space outside the drawer, resulting in the compression of the internal space of the drawer, and the sliding member and the guiding member increase the manufacturing cost.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background art section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present application, and thus may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0049] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0050] Combined with Figure 1-14 As shown, the present disclosure embodiment provides a drawer assembly for a refrigerator, including a drawer 1, a partition 2, and a cover plate 3.

[0051] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drawer 1 includes a first wall 11 and a second wall 12 that extend in the front-back direction and are oppositely arranged, and a receiving space 13 disposed between the first wall 11 and the second wall 12; the partition 2 is disposed in the receiving space 13 and extends in the front-back direction, dividing the receiving space 13 into a first space 14 and a second space 15; the cover plate 3 is disposed above the first space 14, including a first side 301 and a second side 302 that are oppositely arranged, the first side 301 is slidably connected to the top of the partition 2, and the second side 302 is slidably connected to the top of the first wall 11.

[0052] By adopting the drawer assembly provided by the present disclosure embodiment, the partition 2 is provided to divide the drawer 1 into the first space 14 and the second space 15, realizing the complete separation of the two spaces, increasing the independence of the two spaces. The setting of the cover plate 3 in the first space 14 increases the tightness of the first space 14. The cover plate 3 can be slid relative to the drawer 1 in cooperation with the partition 2 and the first wall 11, without the need for a complex guiding mechanism, making the cooperation structure between the cover plate 3 and the drawer 1 simple, reducing the occupied space, and lowering the manufacturing cost.

[0053] Optionally, as Figure 1 shown, the partition 2 includes a base body 21 and a decorative strip 22. The base body 21 is disposed in the receiving space 13 and extends in the front-back direction; the decorative strip 22 is disposed on the top of the base body 21, and the first side is slidably connected to the top of the decorative strip 22.

[0054] The decorative strip 22 can be provided with a sub-flange, and the sub-flange cooperates with the cover plate 3 to realize the sliding of the cover plate 3 relative to the sub-flange. When the cover plate 3 is not needed for the drawer 1 of the refrigerator, the decorative strip 22 provided with the sub-flange is removed, and the decorative strip 22 without the sub-flange is replaced. In this way, the detachable of the decorative strip 22 realizes the replacement of two forms of the drawer 1 with and without the cover plate 3.

[0055] Optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the cover plate 3 further includes a cover plate body 31. The first side 301 includes a first horizontal portion 303 and a first extension portion 32. The first horizontal portion 303 is connected to the cover plate body 31 and contacts the upper surface of the decorative strip 22. The first extension portion 32 is connected to the first horizontal portion 303 and extends downward, and is disposed on the side of the decorative strip 22 facing the second space 15.

[0056] The drawer 1 includes an upward opening, and the cover plate body 31 covers the opening. The first horizontal portion 303 is disposed on the upper surface of the decorative strip 22, and the first extension portion 32 is disposed on the side of the decorative strip 22 facing the outside of the drawer 1. One side of the first horizontal portion 303 is connected to the cover plate body 31, and the other side is connected to the first extension portion 32. The first horizontal portion 303 and the first extension portion 32 wrap the decorative strip 22. During the process of sliding and opening the cover plate 3 relative to the drawer 1, the first extension portion 32 and the first horizontal portion 303 cooperate with the decorative strip 22 at the same time to limit the cover plate 3 from sliding toward the opposite side of the first extension portion 32, so as to achieve smooth sliding of the cover plate 3 and smoothly slide open the cover plate 3 to open the drawer 1.

[0057] Optionally, as Figure 5 shown, a flanging 16 is provided on the top of the first wall 11 facing the outside. The second side 302 includes a second horizontal portion 304 and a second extension portion 33. The second horizontal portion 304 is connected to the cover plate body 31 and contacts the upper surface of the flanging 16. The second extension portion 33 is disposed opposite to the first extension portion 32, is connected to the second horizontal portion 304 and extends downward, and is disposed outside the flanging 16.

[0058] The second horizontal portion 304 is disposed on the upper surface of the flanging 16, and the second extension portion 33 is disposed outside the flanging 16. One side of the second horizontal portion 304 is connected to the cover plate body 31, and the other side is connected to the second extension portion 33 to cover the flanging 16. During the process of sliding and opening the cover plate 3 relative to the drawer 1, the second extension portion 33 cooperates with the flanging 16 to limit the cover plate 3 from sliding in the direction of the first extension portion 32, so as to achieve smooth sliding of the cover plate 3 and smoothly slide open the cover plate 3 to open the drawer 1.

[0059] Optionally, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a first limiting rib is provided on the inner surface of the first horizontal portion and / or the second horizontal portion.

[0060] The first limiting rib 311 is disposed on the inner surface of the first horizontal portion 303, or the first limiting rib 311 is disposed on the inner surface of the second horizontal portion 304, or the first limiting rib 311 is disposed on the inner surfaces of both the first horizontal portion 303 and the second horizontal portion 304. In this application, the example is that the first limiting rib 311 is disposed on the inner surfaces of both the first horizontal portion 303 and the second horizontal portion 304.

[0061] The first limiting rib 311 is provided on the side of the first horizontal portion 303 and the second horizontal portion 304 facing the drawer 1. One side abuts against the upper surface of the flanging 16, and the other side abuts against the upper surface of the decorative strip 22. During the process of the cover plate 3 sliding open relative to the drawer 1, the cover plate 3 does not directly contact the flanging 16 and the cover plate 3 does not directly contact the decorative strip 22 either. Instead, the first limiting rib 311 contacts the upper surface of the flanging 16 and the first limiting rib 311 contacts the upper surface of the decorative strip 22, and then relative movement occurs to realize the sliding of the cover plate 3. Compared with the cover plate 3 directly contacting the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 respectively, the contact between the first limiting rib 311 and the upper surface of the flanging 16 and the contact between the first limiting rib 311 and the upper surface of the decorative strip 22 can reduce the friction between the cover plate 3 and the drawer 1 during the sliding process of the cover plate 3, making the sliding of the cover plate 3 relative to the drawer 1 more labor-saving and smooth.

[0062] Optionally, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a second limiting rib 34 is provided on the inner surface of the first extension portion 32 and / or the second extension portion 33. One side of the second limiting rib 34 is connected to the first limiting rib 311, and the other side extends downward to limit the lateral movement of the cover plate 3 relative to the drawer 1.

[0063] The second limiting rib 34 is provided on the inner surface of the first extension portion 32, or the second limiting rib 34 is provided on the inner surface of the second extension portion 33, or the second limiting rib 34 is provided on the inner surfaces of both the first extension portion 32 and the second extension portion 33. In this application, the case where the second limiting rib 34 is provided on the inner surfaces of both the first extension portion 32 and the second extension portion 33 is taken as an example.

[0064] The second limiting rib 34 is provided on the side of the first extension portion 32 facing the decorative strip 22 and on the side of the second extension portion 33 facing the flanging 16. One end of the second limiting rib 34 is connected to the first limiting rib 311, and the other end extends downward along the direction close to the bottom wall of the drawer 1. The first limiting rib 311 is provided on the side of the first horizontal portion 303 and the second horizontal portion 304 facing the drawer 1. The position where the second limiting rib 34 is connected to the first limiting rib 311 is the position where the first horizontal portion 303 is connected to the first extension portion 32 and the second horizontal portion 304 is connected to the second extension portion 33. The setting of the second limiting rib 34 further limits the moving distance of the cover plate 3 in the left-right direction on the basis of the first extension portion 32 and the second extension portion 33, that is, limits the lateral movement distance of the cover plate 3 along the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the cover plate 3.

[0065] Optionally, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the flanging 16 and / or the decorative strip 22 is provided with a limiting protrusion 17. The limiting protrusion 17 is arranged along the direction facing the first extension portion 32 and / or the second extension portion 33 to limit the lateral movement of the cover plate 3 along the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the cover plate 3.

[0066] The flanging 16 is provided with a limiting protrusion 17, and the limiting protrusion 17 is arranged in the direction towards the first extension part 32, or the decorative strip 22 is provided with a limiting protrusion 17, and the limiting protrusion 17 is arranged in the direction towards the second extension part 33, or both the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 are provided with limiting protrusions 17, and the limiting protrusions 17 are respectively arranged in the directions towards the first extension part 32 and the second extension part 33. In this application, both the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 are provided with limiting protrusions 17, and the limiting protrusions 17 are respectively arranged in the directions towards the first extension part 32 and the second extension part 33.

[0067] The limiting protrusion 17 is arranged at the positions of the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 close to the rear end of the drawer 1, and the second limiting rib 34 is arranged at the position of the cover plate 3 close to the front end of the drawer 1. During the sliding process of the cover plate 3, the second limiting rib 34 is used to limit the moving distance of the cover plate 3 in the left - right direction when the cover plate 3 is at the front end of the drawer 1. The limiting protrusions 17 are respectively arranged in the directions towards the first extension part 32 and the second extension part 33, and the limiting protrusions 17 are used to limit the moving distance of the cover plate 3 in the left - right direction when the cover plate 3 is at the rear end of the drawer 1.

[0068] Optionally, the drawer assembly further includes a third limiting rib 35. The third limiting rib 35 is arranged on the lower side of the first extension part 32 and / or the second extension part 32, and extends in the direction towards the drawer 1, and encloses a sliding space 36 for accommodating the decorative strip 22 and / or the flanging 16 with the first limiting rib 32 and the second limiting rib 33.

[0069] The third limiting rib 35 is arranged on the lower side of the first extension part 32 and is arranged on the lower surface of the decorative strip 22, or the third limiting rib 35 is arranged on the lower side of the second extension part 33 and is arranged on the lower surface of the flanging 16, or the third limiting rib 35 is arranged on the lower sides of both the first extension part 32 and the second extension part 33 and is arranged on the lower surfaces of the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22. In this application, the third limiting rib 35 is arranged on the lower sides of both the first extension part 32 and the second extension part 33 and is arranged on the lower surfaces of the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 as an example.

[0070] One end of the third limiting rib 35 is connected to the other end of the second limiting rib 34, and the other end extends in the direction towards the front end of the drawer 1 and is arranged on the lower surface of the flanging 16 and / or the decorative strip 22. During the sliding process of the cover plate 3, if the cover plate 3 moves upward in the direction away from the drawer 1, the arrangement of the third limiting rib 35 plays a role in limiting the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22, preventing the cover plate 3 from detaching from the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22, so as to prevent the cover plate 3 from detaching from the drawer 1.

[0071] On both sides of the cover plate 3 relative to the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22, there are provided a first limiting rib 311, a second limiting rib 34, and a third limiting rib 35. The first limiting rib 311, the second limiting rib 34, and the third limiting rib 35 enclose a sliding space 36 for accommodating the decorative strip 22 and / or the flanging 16. The openings of the sliding space 36 face the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 respectively. The decorative strip 22 is provided with a third extension portion, and the flanging 16 and the third extension portion are stuck in the sliding space 36. The height of the sliding space 36, that is, the distance between the first limiting rib 311 and the third limiting rib 35, is slightly greater than the height of the flanging 16 and the third extension portion, enabling the cover plate 3 to slide more smoothly. The cover plate 3 uses the sliding spaces 36 on both sides as slideways, allowing the cover plate 3 to achieve relative movement between the cover plate 3 and the drawer 1 through the sliding of the flanging 16 and the third extension portion in the sliding space 36.

[0072] Optionally, as Figure 8-10 shown, the flanging 16 and / or the decorative strip 22 are provided with a fourth limiting rib 37 and a fifth limiting rib 38 in the direction towards the bottom of the drawer 1 to limit the movement of the third limiting rib 35 between the fourth limiting rib 37 and the fifth limiting rib 38, thereby limiting the movement distance of the cover plate 3.

[0073] The fourth limiting rib 37 is provided on one side of the third limiting rib 35 close to the front end of the drawer 1. In the closed state of the cover plate 3, the fourth limiting rib 37 abuts against the third limiting rib 35 to limit the movement of the cover plate 3 in the direction towards the front end of the drawer 1. The fifth limiting rib 38 is provided on one side of the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 close to the rear end of the drawer 1. During the sliding process of the cover plate 3 relative to the drawer 1, when the cover plate 3 slides to the point where the third limiting rib 35 abuts against the fifth limiting rib 38, the setting of the fifth limiting rib 38 plays a role in limiting the movement of the third limiting rib 35, preventing the cover plate 3 from sliding too far and detaching from the drawer 1. The settings of the fourth limiting rib 37 and the fifth limiting rib 38 limit the initial position of the cover plate 3 in the closed state and the maximum opening position after sliding and opening.

[0074] Optionally, as Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown, the drawer assembly further includes a sliding member 4. The sliding member 4 is provided on the flanging 16 and / or the decorative strip 22. The top end of the sliding member 4 is in contact with the cover plate 3, and the bottom end is provided with a limiting portion 41. The flanging 16 and / or the decorative strip 22 are provided with a limiting and cooperating portion 42, and the limiting portion 41 cooperates with the limiting and cooperating portion 42 to fix the sliding member 4.

[0075] The sliding member 4 is provided on the flanging 16, or the sliding member 4 is provided on the decorative strip 22, or the sliding member 4 is provided on both the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 at the same time. In this application, the case where the sliding member 4 is provided on both the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 at the same time is taken as an example.

[0076] The sliding member 4 is disposed between the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22. The sliding member 4 pushes the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 away from the cover plate 3 by a certain distance. The top end of the sliding member 4 contacts the cover plate 3, and the bottom end is connected to the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22. During the process of the cover plate 3 sliding open relative to the drawer 1, the cover plate 3 does not directly contact the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22. Instead, the sliding member 4 on the flanging 16 of the cover plate 3 and the sliding member 4 on the decorative strip 22 of the cover plate 3 come into contact with each other and then relative movement occurs, realizing the sliding of the cover plate 3. Compared with the direct contact between the cover plate 3 and the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 respectively, the contact between the sliding member 4 on the flanging 16 of the cover plate 3 and the sliding member 4 on the decorative strip 22 of the cover plate 3 can reduce the friction between the cover plate 3 and the drawer 1 during the sliding process of the cover plate 3, making the sliding of the cover plate 3 relative to the drawer 1 more labor-saving and smooth.

[0077] The sliding member 4 is disposed at one end of the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 near the rear end of the drawer 1. As mentioned in the above embodiment, the first limiting rib 311 is disposed on the upper surfaces of the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22, and the first limiting rib 311 is disposed at one end of the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 near the front end of the drawer 1. The first limiting rib 311 lifts one end of the cover plate 3 near the front end of the drawer 1 by a certain distance, and the sliding member 4 pushes the end of the cover plate 3 near the rear end of the drawer 1 away from the drawer 1. The first limiting rib 311 and the sliding member 4 cooperate to prevent the cover plate 3 from directly contacting the drawer 1, reduce the friction between the cover plate 3 and the drawer 1 during the sliding process of the cover plate 3, and make the sliding of the cover plate 3 relative to the drawer 1 more labor-saving and smooth.

[0078] The cooperation form of the limiting portion 41 and the limiting cooperation portion 42 can be that one is a clamping structure and the other is a bayonet. The clamping structure is inserted into the bayonet to fix the plurality of sliding members 4 to the flanging 16 and the decorative strip 22 respectively. It can be understood that the limiting portion 41 is a clamping structure and the limiting cooperation portion 42 is a bayonet, and the clamping structure is inserted into the bayonet to fix the sliding member 4. It can also be that the limiting portion 41 is a bayonet and the limiting cooperation portion 42 is a clamping structure, and the clamping structure is inserted into the bayonet to fix the sliding member 4.

[0079] Optionally, as Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown, the decorative strip 22 is provided with a limiting structure 221, and the base body 21 is provided with a limiting cooperation structure 211. The limiting structure 221 and the limiting cooperation structure 211 cooperate to detachably connect the decorative strip 22 to the base body 21.

[0080] The decorative strip 22 is detachably connected to the base body 21. The limiting structure 221 cooperates with the limiting mating structure 211 to achieve the detachable connection between the decorative strip 22 and the base body 21. The decorative strip 22 may be provided with a sub-flange, and the sub-flange cooperates with the cover plate 3 to enable the cover plate 3 to slide relative to the sub-flange. When the cover plate 3 is not required for the drawer 1 of the refrigerator, the decorative strip 22 provided with the sub-flange is removed, and the decorative strip 22 without the sub-flange is replaced. In this way, the detachable nature of the decorative strip 22 enables the replacement between two forms of the drawer 1 with and without the cover plate 3.

[0081] The cooperation form between the limiting structure 221 and the limiting mating structure 211 can be such that one is a clamping structure and the other is a bayonet. The clamping structure is inserted into the bayonet to fix the decorative strip 22 to the base body 21. It can be understood that the limiting structure 221 is the clamping structure and the limiting mating structure 211 is the bayonet, and the clamping structure is inserted into the bayonet to fix the decorative strip 22. It can also be that the limiting structure 221 is the bayonet and the limiting mating structure 211 is the clamping structure, and the clamping structure is inserted into the bayonet to fix the decorative strip 22.

[0082] It can be understood that the cooperation form between the limiting structure 221 and the limiting mating structure 211 can also be that both are limiting protrusions 162. The limiting structure 221 is the first protrusion, and the limiting mating structure 211 is the second protrusion. The first protrusion is stuck below the second protrusion, and the first protrusion and the second protrusion restrict each other to fix the decorative strip 22 to the base body 21.

[0083] The limiting structure 221 and the limiting mating structure 211 can have only one cooperation form, or both forms can exist simultaneously. The number of each form can be one or multiple. In this application, taking the limiting structure 221 having multiple clamping structures and first protrusions, and the limiting mating structure 211 having multiple bayonets and second protrusions as an example, multiple clamping structures are inserted into multiple bayonets, and multiple first protrusions cooperate with multiple second protrusions to jointly fix the decorative strip 22 to the base body 21.
