Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pull-out baskets, and more particularly to an electric lifting pull-out basket with refrigerated storage function. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, a variety of kitchen appliances are becoming increasingly popular, providing numerous conveniences for modern kitchen life. Among them, electric pull-out baskets designed to optimize wall cabinet space are gaining popularity among consumers. However, currently, condiments such as chili sauce, salad dressing, and oyster sauce, which require refrigeration after opening, are still typically stored in the refrigerator. Especially in the high temperatures of summer, these condiments are more prone to spoilage. Users must retrieve them from the refrigerator each time they cook, a cumbersome process. Furthermore, the refrigerator compartment often contains a wide variety of items and is cluttered, making it time-consuming to find specific condiments. This is particularly problematic during cooking when temporary access to condiments is needed, as prolonged searching can reduce cooking efficiency and even lead to burnt food, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0003] Based on the above, the existing electric pull-out baskets need further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an electric lifting pull-out basket with refrigeration storage function. The refrigeration storage device and the storage basket are set on the frame at the same time, which meets the user's requirement to access seasonings with different storage conditions without leaving the cooking area, which is convenient and quick.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an electric lifting pull-out basket with refrigerated storage function, comprising a frame, a refrigerated storage device, and a storage basket. The frame includes a lifting control module, lifting brackets disposed on both sides of the lifting control module, and a base plate disposed at the bottom of the lifting brackets. The refrigerated storage device is disposed on one side of the base plate and electrically connected to the lifting control module. The storage basket is disposed on the refrigerated storage device and the lifting brackets. The lifting control module drives the lifting brackets to rise or fall, thereby switching the frame between a descending state and a rising state, and thus driving the refrigerated storage device and the storage basket to descend or rise.

[0006] Compared to existing technologies, this invention integrates the refrigerated storage unit and the storage basket into a single frame, allowing users to conveniently and quickly access various condiments requiring different storage conditions without leaving the cooking area. The device makes full use of wall cabinet space for the refrigerated storage section and can smoothly lower to a suitable height during use, facilitating easy access and combining practicality with aesthetics. Furthermore, this invention departs from the traditional method of categorizing condiments solely by storage conditions, rationally differentiating their storage based on function and usage scenario, thus better aligning with users' actual operating habits and improving the efficiency and convenience of kitchen work.

[0007] Preferably, the refrigerated storage device is provided with a connector on its lower side, and a positioning structure is provided on the base plate. The connector is inserted into the positioning structure. Through the insertion of the connector, the refrigerated storage device is positioned on the base plate, so that the refrigerated storage device and the base plate move synchronously, and the storage device is prevented from shaking or falling off the base plate.

[0008] Preferably, the connector includes a base plate and connector fittings evenly distributed on one side of the base plate. The positioning structure includes a positioning groove recessed in the base plate and a slot on one side of the positioning groove. When the refrigerated storage device is assembled with the base plate, the base plate is placed on the positioning groove and the connector fittings are inserted into the slot. During assembly, the connector fittings are first aligned with the slot, and the connector fittings are moved into the slot until the base plate is completely placed in the positioning groove. At this time, the positioning groove restricts the lateral and longitudinal positions of the connector, and the slot restricts the longitudinal and height positions of the connector. At the same time, the refrigerated storage device applies a downward force to the connector. Without external force intervention, the bottom of the refrigerated storage device is completely fixed to the base plate.

[0009] Preferably, one side of the refrigerated storage device is fixed to the base plate by a connecting plate. The connecting plate includes a first contact surface and a second contact surface. The first contact surface is fitted to the side wall of the refrigerated storage device, and the second contact surface is fitted to the base plate. The "L"-shaped rigid connecting plate keeps the refrigerated storage device and the base plate perpendicular, thereby keeping the side wall of the refrigerated storage device vertical and not tilted.

[0010] Preferably, both the refrigerated storage device and the lifting bracket are equipped with connecting brackets, and both the connecting brackets and the connecting plate are equipped with joints. The two sides of the storage basket protrude and surround the side wall of the storage basket to form a mating groove. During assembly, the storage basket slides down until the joint is fully inserted into the mating groove. The storage basket is detachably set between the refrigerated storage device and the lifting bracket through the mating groove and the connecting bracket and the connecting plate. When it is necessary to store room temperature condiments, the upper storage basket can be removed, which is flexible and convenient. At the same time, the structure in which the storage basket is set adjacent to the refrigerated storage device allows users to quickly find the required condiments when putting them in and taking them out.

[0011] Preferably, the upper side of the refrigerated storage device is provided with a limiting plate, which is U-shaped and forms an installation groove. The installation groove is engaged with the lifting bracket. The limiting plate fixes the relative position of the refrigerated storage device and the lifting bracket, and limits the height of the top wall of the refrigerated storage device to prevent the refrigerated storage device from detaching from the base plate and moving upward.

[0012] Preferably, a control panel is provided on the underside of the base plate, which is used to control the basket to rise or fall; the user controls the basket through the control panel.

[0013] Preferably, the refrigerated storage device includes a refrigerator and a refrigeration control module, the refrigeration control module is located on the upper side of the refrigerator, and the refrigeration control module is electrically connected to the lifting control module.

[0014] Preferably, a spring-loaded power line is provided between the lifting control module and the base plate, and the power cord of the refrigerator is connected to the power line at one end of the base plate.

[0015] Preferably, when the lifting control module receives an up or down command from the control panel, the refrigeration control module first reports the open / closed status of the refrigerator. When the refrigeration control module reports that the refrigerator is closed, the lifting control module controls the lifting bracket to rise or fall according to the command from the control panel. When the refrigeration control module reports that the refrigerator is open, the lifting control module only provides a voice prompt. When the lifting bracket is rising or falling, if the refrigeration control module detects that the refrigerator is open and sends a signal back to the lifting control module, the lifting control module controls the lifting bracket to stop moving and provides a voice prompt.

[0016] When voice prompts are given, the lifting control module does not control the lifting bracket to rise or fall until the refrigeration control module re-detects and reports that the refrigerator is in the off state. Only then will the lifting control module control the lifting bracket to rise or fall or continue to rise and fall according to the instructions on the control panel.

[0017] Preferably, the refrigerator door adopts a double-layer glass structure, making the contents of the refrigerator visible, making it convenient for users to find the seasonings they need, saving time and improving cooking efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0031] An electric lifting pull-out basket with refrigeration storage function 1, a frame 2, a lifting bracket 21, a lifting power control module 22, a power cord 221, a base plate 23, a positioning structure 231, a positioning groove 2311, a slot 2312, a control panel 232, a refrigeration storage device 3, a connector 31, a base plate 311, a connector accessory 312, a connecting plate 32, a first contact surface 321, a second contact surface 322, a limiting plate 33, a mounting groove 331, a refrigerator 34, a recess 341, a shelf 342, a temperature control panel 343, a light 344, a sterilization module 345, a cabinet door 346, a refrigeration power control module 35, a storage basket 4, a mating groove 41, a partition 411, a connecting bracket 5, and a joint 51. Detailed Implementation

[0032] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "horizontal", "inner", and "outer" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and is only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment discloses an electric lifting basket 1 with refrigerated storage function, including a frame 2, a refrigerated storage device 3, and a storage basket 4. The frame 2 includes a lifting control module 22, lifting brackets 21 disposed on both sides of the lifting control module 22, and a base plate 23 disposed at the lower part of the lifting brackets 21. The refrigerated storage device 3 is disposed on one side of the base plate 23 and electrically connected to the lifting control module 22. The storage basket 4 is disposed on the refrigerated storage device 3 and the lifting brackets 21. The lifting control module 22 drives the lifting brackets 21 to rise or fall, thereby causing the frame 2 to switch between a descending state and a rising state, and thus causing the refrigerated storage device 3 and the storage basket 4 to descend or rise.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 6 The refrigerated storage device 3 has a connector 31 on its lower side, and a positioning structure 231 on the base plate 23. The connector 31 is inserted into the positioning structure 231. The connector 31 and the positioning structure 231 in this design are used for positioning the refrigerated storage device 3, so that the bottom of the refrigerated storage device 3 is fixed on the base plate 23 and moves synchronously with the base plate 23.

[0035] The connector 31 includes a base plate 311 and connector fittings 312 evenly distributed on one side of the base plate 311. The positioning structure 231 includes a positioning groove 2311 recessed in the base plate 23 and a slot 2312 opened on one side of the positioning groove 2311. When the refrigerated storage device 3 is assembled with the base plate 23, the base plate 311 is placed on the positioning groove 2311 and the connector fittings 312 are inserted into the slot 2312. In this design, the positioning groove 2311 limits the lateral and longitudinal positions of the connector 31, and the slot 2312 limits the longitudinal and height positions of the connector 31, so that the connector 31 is fixed on the base plate 23 and does not loosen, thereby keeping the refrigerated storage device 3 in close contact with the base plate.

[0036] Specifically, there are several socket fittings 312, and the slots 2312 are provided corresponding to the socket fittings 312.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 4 , Figures 7 to 9 The refrigerated storage device 3 is fixed to the base plate 23 on one side by a connecting plate 32. The connecting plate 32 includes a first contact surface 321 and a second contact surface 322. The first contact surface 321 is fitted against the side wall of the refrigerated storage device 3, and the second contact surface 322 is fitted against the base plate 23. Specifically, the connecting plate is L-shaped. The connecting plate 32 in this design keeps the side wall of the refrigerated storage device 3 and the base plate 23 perpendicular, preventing the refrigerated storage device 3 from tilting vertically due to loosening or other reasons.

[0038] Both the refrigerated storage device 3 and the lifting bracket 21 are equipped with connecting brackets 5. Both the connecting brackets 5 and the connecting plate 32 are equipped with joints 51. The storage basket 4 protrudes on both sides and forms mating grooves 41 that enclose the side walls of the storage basket 4. During assembly, the storage basket 4 slides downwards until the joints 51 are fully inserted into the mating grooves 41. The storage basket 4 in this design is easy to assemble and disassemble, and can accommodate a wide range of items such as condiments of different sizes, making it highly practical.

[0039] Specifically, the storage basket 4 is made of aluminum alloy and plastic. The use of aluminum alloy and plastic in this design ensures a balance between the load-bearing rigidity and weight of the storage basket 4. Furthermore, due to its detachable connection, there are no exposed screws, preventing rusting in the humid and oily environment of a kitchen, making it safer, more hygienic, and with a longer service life.

[0040] The joint 51 is comb-shaped, and the mating groove 41 is provided with a partition 411. During assembly, the joint 51 is inserted into the partition 411.

[0041] See Figures 10 to 11 The refrigerated storage device 3 has a limiting plate 33 on its upper side. The limiting plate 33 is U-shaped and forms an installation groove 331, which is engaged with the lifting bracket 21. In this design, the limiting plate 33 connects the refrigerated storage device 3 and the lifting bracket 21. On the one hand, it positions the relative position of the refrigerated storage device 3 and the lifting bracket 21. On the other hand, since the refrigerated storage device 3 is relatively high, there is a possibility of swaying. Adding the limiting plate 33 does not affect the lifting and lowering of the lifting bracket 21, but also limits the position of the top wall of the refrigerated storage device 3, eliminating the shaking of the refrigerated storage device 3.

[0042] See Figure 5 The base plate 23 has a control panel 232 on its lower side, which is used to control the raising or lowering of the pull-out basket. The control panel 232 is equipped with gesture, infrared or touch switches, which can be operated from the bottom to raise or lower the pull-out basket 1.

[0043] See Figures 1 to 4 , Figures 10 to 11 The refrigerated storage device 3 includes a refrigerator 34 and a refrigeration control module 35. The refrigeration control module 35 is located on the upper side of the refrigerator 34 and is electrically connected to the lifting control module 22.

[0044] See Figures 10 to 12The refrigerator 34 has grooves 341 evenly distributed along its height on the inner wall. The refrigerator 34 contains several shelves 342, which are slidably mounted on the grooves 341. In this design, the shelves 342 can be selectively placed on any groove 341, dividing the space inside the refrigerator 34 into storage spaces of different heights for storing condiments of varying heights, facilitating neat and orderly arrangement by the user.

[0045] The refrigerator 34 is equipped with a temperature control panel 343, a light 344, and a sterilization module 345. The temperature control panel 343 is positioned facing the door 346. The light 344 and the sterilization module 345 are located on the lower part of the top wall of the refrigerator 34. The temperature control panel 343 is used to adjust the internal refrigeration temperature of the refrigerator 34 to avoid it being too cold or too hot. The light 344 is an intelligent sensor LED light that turns on when the door is opened. The sterilization module 345 is a negative ion sterilization module that can deodorize and sterilize the internal air to prevent the odor of seasonings from mixing. There will be no odor when the door 346 is opened.

[0046] When the lifting control module 22 receives an up or down command from the control panel 232, the refrigeration control module 35 first provides feedback on the open / closed status of the refrigerator 34. When the refrigeration control module 35 indicates that the refrigerator 34 is closed, the lifting control module 22 controls the lifting bracket 21 to rise or fall according to the command from the control panel 232. When the refrigeration control module 35 indicates that the refrigerator 34 is open, the lifting control module 22 only provides voice prompts. When the lifting bracket 21 is rising or falling, the refrigeration control module 35 detects that the refrigerator 34 is open and sends a signal back to the lifting control module 22. The lifting control module 22 then controls the lifting bracket 21 to stop moving and provides voice prompts.

[0047] When a voice prompt is given, the lifting control module 22 does not control the lifting bracket 21 to rise or fall until the refrigeration control module 35 re-detects and reports that the refrigerator 34 is in the off state. Only then will the lifting control module 22 control the lifting bracket 21 to rise or fall or continue to rise and fall according to the instructions of the control panel 232.

[0048] The refrigerator 34 has a double-layered glass door 346. The door 346 of this design features a visual design, allowing the refrigerator 34 to maintain its temperature while still allowing the contents of the condiments and temperature control panel 343 to be seen without opening the door, facilitating quick and easy location of the desired condiments.

[0049] See Figure 2 A spring-loaded wire 221 is provided between the lifting control module 22 and the base plate 23, and the power cord of the refrigerator 34 is connected to the wire 221 at one end of the base plate 23.

[0050] Compared with existing technologies, this invention integrates the refrigerated storage device 3 and the storage basket 4 into the frame 2, allowing users to conveniently and quickly access various condiments with different storage conditions without leaving the cooking area. This device makes full use of the wall cabinet space to house the refrigerated storage section and can smoothly lower to a suitable height during use, facilitating easy access and combining practicality with aesthetics. Furthermore, this invention changes the traditional method of classifying condiments solely by storage conditions, rationally distinguishing the storage of refrigerated condiments based on function and usage scenario, better aligning with users' actual operating habits and improving the efficiency and convenience of kitchen work.

[0051] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the foregoing specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to the present invention should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on the present invention.
