DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purposes and effects of the present application easy to understand, the present application is further described below in combination with specific embodiments and drawings. However, the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and not all. Based on the embodiments in the embodiments, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present application.
[0023] Embodiment 1: Referring to Figures 1-5 The combined refrigerator drawer shown in the figure comprises a drawer body 1 and a drawer mechanism arranged in a groove 2 at the top of the drawer body 1. The drawer mechanism comprises two separated drawers 4 stacked one above the other in the groove 2 and a separation assembly arranged in the groove 2 to support the upper separated drawer 4. An end of the drawer body 1 is provided with a pull-out opening 3 which is through the bottom of the groove 2.
[0024] When the two separated drawers 4 are placed in the groove 2 in sequence, the first separated drawer 4 is moved from the opening position of the groove 2 to the bottom of the groove 2 through the closed separation assembly, and when the first separated drawer 4 is moved to the bottom wall of the groove 2, the separation assembly is opened, and the second separated drawer 4 is lowered from the opening of the groove 2 to the separation assembly.
[0025] When the first partitioned drawer 4 is placed in the recess 2, the control assembly drives the positioning strips 15 to protrude out of the positioning slots 14 into the recess 2, and the positioning strips 15 protruding into the recess 2 can support the second partitioned drawer 4, thereby facilitating the storage of the first partitioned drawer 4 and the second partitioned drawer 4 separately.
[0026] Through the operation process, the combined refrigerator drawer can flexibly divide the internal space into two parts, which are occupied by the two partitioned drawers 4. The user can place different types, sizes or characteristics of articles in different partitioned drawers 4 according to the actual storage needs of the articles, effectively avoiding the mutual influence and cross contamination between the articles, and improving the utilization efficiency of the internal space of the refrigerator and the rationality of article storage. The design of the upper and lower stacked partitioned drawers makes the classification of articles more clear and intuitive. When the user is looking for or taking and placing articles, the user can quickly locate the partitioned drawer where the required article is located, reducing the time and effort of searching for articles in the drawer, and improving the convenience and efficiency of using the refrigerator. At the same time, this classification storage method also helps the user to better master the inventory of articles in the refrigerator, and timely supplement or clean the articles.
[0027] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the partition assembly includes two positioning strips 15 arranged in the positioning slots 14 in the middle of the symmetrical inner walls of the recess 2, and a control assembly arranged on the bottom wall of the recess 2 and controlling the positioning strips 15 to protrude out of the positioning slots 14 into the recess 2.
[0028] When the first partitioned drawer 4 is placed in the recess 2, the control assembly drives the positioning strips 15 to protrude out of the positioning slots 14 into the recess 2, and the positioning strips 15 protruding into the recess 2 can support the second partitioned drawer 4, thereby facilitating the storage of the first partitioned drawer 4 and the second partitioned drawer 4 separately.
[0029] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the positioning strip 15 has a long strip structure and an L-shaped cross section in the vertical length direction; one side of the positioning strip 15 is arranged in the positioning groove 14, the other side is vertically arranged at the opening position of the positioning groove 14, and the corner position of the positioning strip 15 is rotationally connected with the inner wall of the positioning groove 14; the control assembly controls the rotation of the positioning strip 15 around the corner position.
[0030] When the first partition drawer 4 is moved to the bottom wall of the groove 2, the control assembly is acted on. At this time, the partition assembly is opened. After the partition assembly is opened, the control assembly controls the rotation of the positioning strip 15, and the part of the positioning strip 15 protruding from the internal space of the groove 2 forms a support structure. When the second partition drawer 4 is placed from the opening position of the groove 2, it will fall onto the positioning strip 15, and the positioning strip 15 will bear the weight of the second partition drawer 4 and stably support it at a certain height position in the groove 2, realizing the stacked state of the two partition drawers 4.
[0031] The L-shaped structure of the positioning strip 15 and the rotation connection mode with the positioning groove 14 enable it to rotate flexibly under the action of the control assembly. When it is necessary to support the partition drawer, the positioning strip 15 is rotated to a position protruding from the internal space of the groove 2 to provide a stable support point for the partition drawer, ensuring that the partition drawer will not shake or fall in the groove 2, and ensuring the stability of the internal structure of the combined refrigerator drawer. Through the control of the control assembly on the rotation of the positioning strip 15, the opening and closing of the partition assembly can be realized. This flexible control mode enables users to conveniently adjust the partitioning of the internal space of the drawer according to actual needs.
[0032] It can be understood that the positioning strip 15 can be rotated around the corner position by various control assemblies. The embodiment gives the following solutions:
[0033] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 the control assembly includes a lifting block 17 arranged in the lifting groove on the bottom wall of the groove 2 through an elastic member, two lifting rods 18 symmetrically arranged on the symmetric sides of the lifting block 17, and two linkage rods 16, one end of each of which is rotationally connected with the opposite end of each of the two lifting rods 18, and the opposite end of each of the two linkage rods 16 is rotationally connected with one side of each of the two positioning strips 15 arranged in the positioning groove 14; when the elastic member is in a normal elongation state, the lifting block 17 is located at the opening position of the lifting groove, the opposite ends of the two lifting rods 18 are respectively located below the two positioning strips 15, and the positioning strips 15 are located in the positioning groove 14.
[0034] When the first partition drawer 4 is put into the recess 2 and moved to the bottom wall of the recess 2, a downward pressure is generated on the lifting block 17. The pressure overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member, so that the lifting block 17 moves downward along the lifting groove. With the downward movement of the lifting block 17, the two lifting rods 18 vertically arranged on the symmetrical sides of the lifting block 17 also move downward synchronously. Since one end of each of the two linkage rods 16 is rotatably connected to the opposite end of each of the two lifting rods 18, and the other end of each of the two linkage rods 16 is rotatably connected to one side of the positioning strip 15 passing through the positioning groove 14, the downward movement of the lifting rods 18 generates a pulling force on the positioning strip 15 through the linkage rods 16. Since the positioning strip 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove 14 at the rotation position, under the pulling force of the linkage rods 16, the positioning strip 15 rotates around the rotation position, so that the other side of the positioning strip 15 located vertically at the opening position of the positioning groove 14 gradually rotates outward and protrudes into the internal space of the recess 2. At this time, the partition assembly is opened, which creates conditions for placing the second partition drawer 4 and facilitates the supporting effect of the positioning strip 15 on the second partition drawer 4. When the first partition drawer 4 is taken out from the pull-out opening 3, the pressure on the lifting block 17 gradually disappears as the first partition drawer 4 is taken out. At this time, the elastic member starts to recover the deformation and generates an upward elastic force to push the lifting block 17 to move upward along the lifting groove. The upward movement of the lifting block 17 drives the lifting rods 18 to rise, and the lifting rods 18 in turn drive the positioning strip 15 to rotate reversely around the rotation position, so that the positioning strip 15 located vertically at one side of the opening position of the positioning groove 14 is retracted into the positioning groove 14, and the partition assembly returns to the initial closed state, ready for the next use.
[0035] As shown in Figure 4 , the elastic member includes a telescopic rod 19 arranged vertically in the lifting groove and connected to the lifting block 17 at the top, and a telescopic spring 20 sleeved on the telescopic rod 19 and connected to the bottom wall of the lifting groove and the lifting block 17 at both ends.
[0036] Embodiment 2: When the second partition drawer 4 is placed in the recess 2, the falling gravity of the second partition drawer 4 will impact the positioning strip 15 to generate a collision force. When the collision force is too large, it will cause damage to the articles in the partition drawer 4. The following solution of the embodiment.
[0037] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the groove wall of the groove 2 is provided with a slow descent groove 6 in vertical direction above and below the positioning groove 14. The drawer mechanism further comprises a slow descent assembly for controlling the slow descent of the partitioned drawer 4 in the groove 2. The slow descent assembly comprises a slide rod 8 vertically penetrating the slow descent groove 6, a slow descent block 11 slidingly penetrating the slide rod 8, a moving rod 12 movably penetrating the slow descent block 11 towards an end face of the groove 2, and a slow descent spring 9 movably sleeving the slide rod 8 and having two ends connected with the slow descent block 11 and the groove wall of the slow descent groove 6 respectively. When the slow descent spring 9 is in normal elongation state, the slow descent block 11 is located at the top of the slow descent groove 6.
[0038] When the user puts the partitioned drawer 4 into the opening position of the groove 2, the side of the partitioned drawer 4 will contact the moving rod 12 of the slow descent assembly. As the partitioned drawer 4 continues to move downward, the moving rod 12 is subjected to downward pressure. Since the moving rod 12 movably penetrates the slow descent block 11, the pressure is transmitted to the slow descent block 11, overcoming the elastic force of the slow descent spring 9, and making the slow descent block 11 slide downward along the slide rod 8. During the sliding of the slow descent block 11, the slow descent spring 9 is gradually compressed, generating an upward elastic force. The elastic force and the gravity of the partitioned drawer 4 interact with each other, forming a buffer force, which slows down the descent speed of the partitioned drawer 4, achieving the effect of slow descent. As the partitioned drawer 4 continues to move downward, the slow descent block 11 continuously slides downward along the slide rod 8, the slow descent spring 9 is continuously compressed, and the buffer force also changes accordingly, but it is always balanced with the gravity of the partitioned drawer 4, ensuring that the partitioned drawer 4 can descend at a relatively stable and slow speed. During the entire descent process, the moving rod 12 always contacts the side of the partitioned drawer 4, continuously transmitting pressure, so that the slow descent block 11 can continuously generate a buffer effect.
[0039] As shown in the drawings, Figure 4 The control member comprises a ball 21 rotatably embedded on the end of the moving rod 12 penetrating the slow descent block 11, and a positioning spring 23 sleeving the rod body of the moving rod 12. The positioning spring 23 penetrates a sliding groove 22 provided in the slow descent block 11, and the two ends of the positioning spring 23 are connected with the groove wall of the sliding groove 22 and the rod body of the moving rod 12 respectively. The top side of the end of the moving rod 12 penetrating the groove 2 is inclined, and the bottom wall of the bottom of the slow descent groove 6 is provided with a moving port 10 matched with the end of the moving rod 12.
[0040] When the partition drawer 4 is lowered to the proper position, i.e. the slow lowering block 11 is moved to the bottom position of the slow lowering groove 6, the partition drawer 4 will push the inclined moving rod 12 to move towards the slow lowering block 11 under the gravity of the partition drawer 4. At this time, the end of the moving rod 12 is inserted into the moving hole 10. When the end of the moving rod 12 located in the groove 2 is moved into the slow lowering block 11, the partition drawer 4 on the moving rod 12 will fall onto the positioning strip 15 below. At this time, the downward gravity of the partition drawer 4 on the moving rod 12 disappears. The elastic force of the positioning spring 23 compressed when the moving rod 12 moves will be released, which drives the end of the moving rod 12 to be inserted into the groove 2 again. At this time, the other end of the moving rod 12 is also moved out of the moving hole 10, thereby achieving the automatic reset of the slow lowering assembly.
[0041] As shown in Figure 3 The drawer slot opening position of the partition drawer 4 is detachably installed with a partition plate 13.

The above examples and descriptions in the specification are only preferred examples of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
