Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-6 , a space-adjustable vegetable cabinet provided in this embodiment includes a cabinet body 1 and a plurality of folding support frames 2. Specifically, a storage chamber 10 is provided in the cabinet body 1, a plurality of first support chutes 11 are provided on the right inner wall of the storage chamber 10, a plurality of second support chutes (not shown in the figure) are provided on the left inner wall of the storage chamber 10, and the first support chutes 11 and the second support chutes are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. In this embodiment, the first support chutes 11 and the second support chutes are symmetrically arranged and have exactly the same structure. For the sake of convenience, only the structure of the first support chutes 11 will be described below, and the structure of the second support chutes is the same as that of the first support chutes 11.

[0036] The folding support frame 2 is installed between the first support slot 11 and the second support slot. Figure 4 As shown, the folding support frame 2 includes a plurality of support rods 21, and each two adjacent support rods are connected by a hinge mechanism 22. In this way, the folding support frame 2 can be extended along the first support slot 11 and the second support slot 11 to the unfolded position ( Figure 5 shown) or collapsed to the stowed position ( Figure 6 In the expanded position, Figure 1 As shown, the folding support frame 2 is used to divide the storage chamber 10 into a plurality of sub-storage chambers; in the storage posture, the folding support frame 2 is retracted to the rear ends of the first support slot 11 and the second support slot to connect two adjacent sub-storage chambers.

[0037] The structure of the folding support frame 2 and the structure of the cabinet body 1 are further described in detail below.

[0038] Reference Figure 4In this embodiment, there are 11 support rods 21 of the folding support frame 2, and a set of hinge mechanisms is arranged between each two adjacent support rods 21. Each set of hinge mechanisms includes at least two hinge mechanisms 22, and the two adjacent sets of hinge mechanisms are arranged in a staggered manner. In this example, three hinge mechanisms 22 are arranged between the first support rod 21 and the second support rod 21 from the left, and two hinge structures 22 are arranged between the second support rod 21 and the third support rod 21. These two hinge structures 22 are arranged in a staggered manner with the previous three hinge mechanisms 22, and so on, forming a structure as shown in FIG. Figure 4 Those skilled in the art can set more support rods 21 according to actual needs, and set more hinge mechanisms 22 between two adjacent support rods 21 according to the length of the support rods 21. Optionally, in order to facilitate the staggered arrangement, in each of two adjacent groups of hinge mechanisms, one group of hinge mechanisms includes an odd number of hinge mechanisms 22, and the other group of hinge mechanisms includes an even number of hinge mechanisms 22.

[0039] As an example, the hinge mechanism 22 may include a first rotating member 221, a second rotating member 222 and a connecting member 223. Among them, one end of the first rotating member 221 and one end of the second rotating member 222 are respectively installed on two adjacent support rods 21, and the other end of the first rotating member 221 and the other end of the second rotating member 222 are both plugged into the connecting member 223, that is, the first rotating member 221 and the second rotating member 222 are both plugged into the connecting member 223 and can rotate relative to the plug-in position. In this way, the first rotating member 221 and the second rotating member 222 can respectively drive the corresponding support rods 21 to extend or contract relative to the connecting member 223 under the action of external force. Figure 5 As shown, each support rod 21 can be moved closer through the hinge mechanism 22 under the action of an external force, and then can be extended through the hinge mechanism 22.

[0040] refer to Figure 2In this embodiment, a first barb-shaped groove 111 is provided on the first support chute 11 at a position close to the right front wall 100, and a second barb-shaped groove corresponding to the first barb-shaped groove 111 is provided on the second support chute at a position close to the left front wall. The two ends of the support rod 21 at the front end of the folding support frame 2 can be respectively embedded in the first barb-shaped groove 111 and the second barb-shaped groove, so that the folding support frame 2 is in an unfolded posture. The front support rod 21 is a support rod 21 located at the front end of the folding support frame 2 when the folding support frame 2 is in an unfolded posture. Since the barb-shaped groove is provided on both the first support chute 11 and the second support chute, it can be used to fix the front support rod 21 to prevent the support rod 21 from accidentally shrinking. In this example, the first barb-shaped groove 111 can be formed by bending backward at the end of the first support chute 11 (the end close to the right front wall 100), and the second barb-shaped groove can be formed by bending backward at the end of the second support chute (the end close to the left front wall).

[0041] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a side sectional view of a space-adjustable vegetable cabinet in an embodiment of the utility model (the folding support frame is in an unfolded position). Figure 3 As shown, the two ends of the support rod 21 at the front end of the folding support frame 2 are respectively embedded in the first hook-shaped groove 111 and the second hook-shaped groove, so that the folding support frame 2 is stabilized in the unfolded posture.

[0042] In some other examples, in order to facilitate the installation of the folding support frame 2, the following steps can also be performed: Figure 4 Specifically, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a side sectional view of a space-adjustable vegetable cabinet in another embodiment of the present invention (the folding support frame is omitted). Figure 4 As shown, each first support chute 11 penetrates the right front wall 100 of the storage chamber 10 forward along the right inner wall of the storage chamber 10 to form a first installation opening 110, and each second support chute penetrates the left front wall of the storage chamber 10 forward along the left inner wall of the storage chamber to form a second installation opening, and the first barb-shaped groove 111 and the second barb-shaped groove are respectively arranged at positions close to the first installation opening 110 and close to the second installation opening. In this way, the two ends of each support rod 21 of the folding support frame 2 can be respectively inserted into the first support chute 11 and the second support chute from the first installation opening 110 and the second installation opening in sequence. When the folding support frame 2 is unfolded, the two ends of the support rod 21 at the front end of the folding support frame 2 are respectively inserted into the first barb-shaped groove 111 and the second barb-shaped groove, so that the folding support frame 2 is stabilized in the unfolded posture.

[0043] Furthermore, the vegetable cabinet further includes a slot cover cap (not shown in the figure), and after each support rod 21 of the folding support frame 2 is embedded in the first support chute 11 and the second support chute, the slot cover cap is used to seal the slot 110 on the right front wall of the storage chamber 10 and the slot on the left front wall of the storage chamber 10. Those skilled in the art can select a slot cover cap that matches the slots of the first support chute 11 and the second support chute, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0044] In a more specific embodiment, the rear end of the first support chute 11 is bent downward to form a first receiving groove 112, and the rear end of the second support chute is bent downward to form a second receiving groove corresponding to the first receiving groove 112. The two ends of each support rod 21 of the folding support frame 2 can be respectively embedded in the first receiving groove 112 and the second receiving groove, so that the folding support frame 2 is in a storage posture. Specifically, when the folding support frame 2 is in an unfolded posture, at this time, the two ends of the support rod 21 at the front end of the folding support frame 2 are respectively inserted into the first barb-shaped groove 111 and the second barb-shaped groove. When it is necessary to merge the adjacent sub-storage chamber spaces, the corresponding support rod 21 can be first taken out from the first barb-shaped groove 111 and the second barb-shaped groove, and then the support rod 21 can be pushed toward the rear of the storage chamber 10, thereby shrinking the folding support frame 2 to the first receiving groove 112 and the second receiving groove.

[0045] When the storage chamber 10 needs to be separated, it is only necessary to pull the support rod 21 at the front end of the folding support frame 2 toward the front of the storage chamber 10 until the corresponding support rod 21 is stuck in the first barb-shaped groove 111 and the second barb-shaped groove. At this time, the two ends of the support rod 21 at the rear end of the folding support frame 2 are still stuck in the first receiving groove 112 and the second receiving groove, ensuring that the support rod 21 at the rear end of the folding support frame 2 does not separate from the first receiving groove 112 and the second receiving groove. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the support rod 21 of the folding support frame 2 can be made of lightweight metal material. Since the support rod 21 is relatively light, under the action of tension, the support rod 21 at the rear end of the folding support frame 2 usually does not separate from the first receiving groove 112 and the second receiving groove. Those skilled in the art can also set corresponding grooves at the first receiving groove 112 and the second receiving groove according to actual needs to ensure that the support rod 21 at the rear end of the folding support frame 2 does not separate from the first receiving groove 112 and the second receiving groove. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0046] Optionally, the space-adjustable vegetable cabinet in this embodiment further includes a control system, which is used to control the unlocking of the cabinet door of the cabinet body 1 according to the received signal, and to control the locking of the cabinet door of the cabinet body 1 according to the received signal. Those skilled in the art can select and configure a suitable control system as needed, and this embodiment will not be described in detail.

[0047] In summary, the present embodiment provides a space-adjustable vegetable cabinet, which divides the cabinet storage chamber 10 into multiple sub-storage chambers by setting corresponding support slides on the inner wall of the cabinet 1, and then inserting multiple folding support frames 2 into the corresponding support slides. Further, through the structural design of the folding support frame 2, the purpose of merging the sub-storage chambers is achieved by contracting the folding support frame 2, and the purpose of separating the sub-storage chambers is achieved by extending the folding support frame 2, so that the internal space of the cabinet 1 can be flexibly adjusted according to the type, size and quantity of fruits and vegetables, etc., to meet the storage needs in different scenarios and improve the user experience of the vegetable cabinet.

[0048] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
