[0045] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0046] Combination Figure 1-10 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a refrigerator, which includes a compartment, a drawer 1, a cover plate 2 and a drive assembly 3.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drawer 1 is arranged in the compartment, and an opening 11 is provided on the top; the cover plate 2 is covered on the opening 11, including a rear side 21, and the rear side 21 is provided with a trigger part 22; the driving component 3 is arranged on the rear cover plate 4 of the compartment, including a sensing part 31, and the sensing part 31 is arranged opposite to the trigger part 22; wherein, when the drawer 1 is pulled outward, the sensing part 31 fits with the trigger part 22, leaving the cover plate 2 in the compartment to open the opening 11 of the drawer 1.

[0048] With the refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the user pulls the drawer 1 outward, the sensing part 31 of the driving component 3 is attracted and fitted with the trigger part 22 of the rear side 21 of the cover plate 2, and the driving component 3 makes the cover plate 2 remain inside the compartment when the drawer 1 is pulled out of the compartment, and the cover plate 2 and the drawer 1 move relative to each other, opening the opening 11 of the drawer 1, making it convenient for the user to take food. Compared with the related art, the driving component 3 is arranged between the rear side of the cover plate 2 and the rear cover plate 4, and the related driving component 3 does not need to be arranged between the cover plate 2 and the drawer 1, so as to avoid the generation of a gap between the cover plate 2 and the drawer 1, and improve the airtightness between the cover plate 2 and the drawer 1.

[0049] Alternatively, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving assembly 3 also includes a first elastic portion 32, one end of the first elastic portion 32 is connected to the rear cover plate 4, and the other end is arranged toward the drawer 1; wherein, the sensing portion 31 is arranged at the other end of the first elastic portion 32; when the drawer 1 is pushed inward, after the sensing portion 31 fits with the trigger portion 22, the first elastic portion 32 is squeezed by the cover plate 2 to undergo elastic deformation, and the cover plate 2 is subjected to the force of the first elastic portion 32 toward the front side of the drawer 1, so that the cover plate 2 is closed; when the drawer 1 is pulled outward, after the sensing portion 31 fits with the trigger portion 22, the cover plate 2 is subjected to the force of the first elastic portion 32 toward the direction close to the rear cover plate 4, so that the cover plate 2 stays in the compartment and the opening 11 of the drawer 1 is opened.

[0050] The first elastic part 32 is arranged between the rear cover plate 4 and the cover plate 2 of the drawer 1, and the sensing part 31 is arranged at one end of the first elastic part 32 close to the cover plate 2. When the drawer 1 is pushed inward, the sensing part 31 and the trigger part 22 are close to each other and attract each other. The drawer 1 continues to be pushed inward, and the cover plate 2 pushes the sensing part 31 and the trigger part 22, so that the first elastic part 32 is squeezed and elastically deformed. In this way, the first elastic part 32 wants to return to the initial state, and exerts a force on the cover plate 2 toward the front side of the drawer 1, so that the cover plate 2 and the drawer 1 are tightly fitted. When the drawer 1 is pulled outward, the sensing part 31 and the trigger part 22 are in a fitted state, and the first elastic part 32 is pulled forward, which exerts a force in the opposite direction on the cover plate 2, so that the cover plate 2 stays in the compartment to open the opening 11 of the drawer 1.

[0051] The sensing part 31 and the triggering part 22 may both be magnets, and the magnets are installed in a mutually attracting state. Alternatively, one of the sensing part 31 and the triggering part 22 may be a magnet and the other a magnetic metal, and the magnets and the magnetic metals attract each other.

[0052] Alternatively, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rear cover plate 4 is provided with a through hole 41, and the driving assembly 3 also includes a support member 33, which is passed through the through hole 41 and includes a first end 331 and a second end 332. The first end 331 extends forward to the front side of the rear cover plate 4, passes through the first elastic portion 32, and is connected to the sensing portion 31. The second end 332 passes through the rear side wall of the rear cover plate 4 to form a fixing portion 34. The support member 33 can move forward and backward relative to the through hole 41.

[0053] Among them, when the drawer 1 is pushed inward, the sensing part 31 fits with the trigger part 22, and the support member 33 moves backward relative to the through hole 41, and the first elastic part 32 is squeezed by the cover plate 2 to undergo elastic deformation, and the cover plate 2 is subjected to the force of the first elastic part 32 toward the front side of the drawer 1, so that the cover plate 2 is closed tightly; when the drawer 1 is pulled outward, the sensing part 31 fits with the trigger part 22, and the fixing part 34 limits the movement of the support member 33 toward the drawer 1, so as to limit the movement of the cover plate 2 and open the opening 11 of the drawer 1.

[0054] Alternatively, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving assembly 3 also includes a second elastic member, and the second elastic portion 35 is sleeved on the support member 33 and is arranged between the rear cover plate 4 and the fixing portion 34; wherein, when the drawer 1 is pulled outward, the sensing portion 31 fits with the trigger portion 22, and the second elastic portion 35 is elastically deformed by the squeezing of the fixing portion 34, and the cover plate 2 is subjected to the force of the second elastic portion 35 toward the rear side of the drawer 1, so that the cover plate 2 is separated from the drawer 1.

[0055] The above embodiment mentioned that when the drawer 1 is pushed inward, the sensing part 31 fits with the trigger part 22, and the support member 33 moves backward relative to the through hole 41, and the first elastic part 32 is squeezed by the cover plate 2 to elastically deform, and the cover plate 2 is subjected to the force of the first elastic part 32 toward the front side of the drawer 1, so that the cover plate 2 is closed. The second elastic part 35 is arranged between the rear cover plate 4 and the fixing part 34. When the drawer 1 is pulled outward, the sensing part 31 fits with the trigger part 22, and the second elastic part 35 is squeezed by the fixing part 34 to elastically deform, and the cover plate 2 is subjected to the force of the second elastic part 35 toward the rear side of the drawer 1, so that the cover plate 2 is separated from the drawer 1.

[0056] Optionally, an air duct is provided at the rear side of the refrigerator, and the rear cover plate 4 is provided to cover the air duct.

[0057] When the air duct of the refrigerator is arranged at the rear side of the refrigerator, the rear cover plate 4 connected to the driving assembly 3 can be used as an air duct cover plate to cover the air duct, so as to make full use of the rear cover plate 4 and reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0058] Alternatively, if Figure 6-10 As shown, the drawer 1 includes a first wall 12 and a second wall 13, the first wall 12 extends in the front-to-back direction; the second wall 13 is arranged opposite to the first wall 12 and extends in the front-to-back direction; wherein the cover plate 2 is arranged above the accommodating space 14 between the first wall 12 and the second wall 13, and also includes a first side 23 and a second side 24 arranged opposite to each other, the first side 23 is slidably connected to the top of the first wall 12, and the second side 24 is slidably connected to the top of the second wall 13.

[0059] An accommodating space 14 is defined between the first wall 12 and the second wall 13, and the cover plate 2 is arranged on top of the accommodating space 14, thereby increasing the independence and airtightness of the drawer 1. The cover plate 2 is provided with a first side 23 and a second side 24, and the first side 23 and the second side 24 are respectively matched with the top of the first wall 12 and the second wall 13, so that the sliding between the cover plate 2 and the drawer 1 can be realized, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the drawer 1. No complicated matching components are required between the cover plate 2 and the drawer 1, thereby reducing the space occupied by the matching components and enhancing the airtightness of the drawer 1.

[0060] Alternatively, if Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the cover 2 also includes a cover body 25, a first flange 121 is provided on the top of the first wall 12 toward the outside, and the first side 23 includes a first horizontal portion 231 and a first extension portion 232. The first horizontal portion 231 is connected to the cover body 25 and contacts the upper surface of the first flange 121; the first extension portion 232 is connected to the first horizontal portion 231 and extends downward, and is provided on the outside of the first flange 121.

[0061] The drawer 1 includes an opening 11 set upward, a cover body 25 covers the opening 11, a first horizontal portion 231 is set on the upper surface of the first flange 121, and a first extension portion 232 is set on the side of the first flange 121 facing the outside of the drawer 1. One side of the first horizontal portion 231 is connected to the cover body 25, and the other side is connected to the first extension portion 232. The first horizontal portion 231 and the first extension portion 232 wrap the first flange 121. When the cover 2 slides open relative to the drawer 1, the first extension portion 232 and the first horizontal portion 231 cooperate with the first flange 121 at the same time to limit the cover 2 from sliding toward the opposite side of the first extension portion 232, thereby achieving smooth sliding of the cover 2, and smoothly sliding the cover 2 to open the drawer 1.

[0062] Alternatively, if Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown, a second flange 131 is provided at the top of the second wall 13 toward the outside, and the second side 24 includes a second horizontal portion 241 and a second extension portion 242. The second horizontal portion 241 is connected to the cover body 25 and contacts the upper surface of the second flange 131; the second extension portion 242 is arranged opposite to the first extension portion 232, and is connected to the second horizontal portion 241 and extends downward, and is arranged on the outside of the second flange 131.

[0063] The second horizontal portion 241 is arranged on the upper surface of the second flange 131, and the second extending portion 242 is arranged on the outer side of the second flange 131. One side of the second horizontal portion 241 is connected to the cover body 25, and the other side is connected to the second extending portion 242 to cover the second flange 131. When the cover 2 slides open relative to the drawer 1, the second extending portion 242 cooperates with the second flange 131 to limit the cover 2 from sliding in the direction of the first extending portion 232, thereby achieving smooth sliding of the cover 2, and smoothly sliding the cover 2 to open the drawer 1.

[0064] Alternatively, if Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the cover plate 2 also includes a first limiting rib 26 and a second limiting rib 27. The first limiting rib 26 is arranged on the inner surface of the first horizontal portion 231 and / or the second horizontal portion 241; the second limiting rib 27 is arranged on the inner surface of the first extension portion 232 and / or the second extension portion 242, one side of which is connected to the first limiting rib 26 and the other side extends downward to limit the lateral movement of the cover plate 2 relative to the drawer 1.

[0065] The first limiting rib 26 is disposed on the inner surface of the first horizontal portion 231, or the first limiting rib 26 is disposed on the inner surface of the second horizontal portion 241, or the first limiting rib 26 is disposed on both the inner surfaces of the first horizontal portion 231 and the second horizontal portion 241. This application takes the case where the first limiting rib 26 is disposed on both the inner surfaces of the first horizontal portion 231 and the second horizontal portion 241 as an example.

[0066] The first limiting rib 26 is arranged on the side of the first horizontal portion 231 and the second horizontal portion 241 facing the drawer 1, with one side abutting against the upper surface of the first flange 121, and the other side abutting against the upper surface of the second flange 131. In the process of the cover 2 sliding open relative to the drawer 1, the cover 2 and the first flange 121 and the cover 2 and the second flange 131 are not in direct contact, but the first limiting rib 26 and the first flange 121, as well as the first limiting rib 26 and the upper surface of the second flange 131 are in contact with each other, and then relative movement occurs to realize the sliding of the cover 2. Compared with the direct contact between the cover 2 and the first flange 121 and the second flange 131 respectively, the first limiting rib 26 and the upper surface of the first flange 121 are in contact with each other, and the first limiting rib 26 and the upper surface of the second flange 131 are in contact with each other, which can reduce the friction between the cover 2 and the drawer 1 during the sliding process, so that the sliding of the cover 2 relative to the drawer 1 is more labor-saving and smooth.

[0067] The inner surface of the first extension portion 232 is provided with a second limiting rib 27, or the inner surface of the second extension portion 242 is provided with a second limiting rib 27, or the inner surfaces of the first extension portion 232 and the second extension portion 242 are both provided with a second limiting rib 27. This application takes the inner surfaces of the first extension portion 232 and the second extension portion 242 as an example.

[0068] The second limiting rib 27 is arranged on the side of the first extension part 232 facing the first flange 121, and on the side of the second extension part 242 facing the second flange 131. One end of the second limiting rib 27 is connected to the first limiting rib 26, and the other end extends downward in the direction close to the bottom wall of the drawer 1. The first limiting rib 26 is arranged on the side of the first horizontal part 231 and the second horizontal part 241 facing the drawer 1. The position where the second limiting rib 27 is connected to the first limiting rib 26 is the position where the first horizontal part 231 is connected to the first extension part 232 and the second horizontal part 241 is connected to the second extension part 242. The setting of the second limiting rib 27, on the basis of the first extension part 232 and the second extension part 242, further limits the moving distance of the cover plate 2 in the left-right direction, that is, limits the lateral movement distance of the cover plate 2 perpendicular to the sliding direction of the cover plate 2.

[0069] Alternatively, if Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the cover plate 2 also includes a third limiting rib 28, which is arranged on the lower side of the first extension portion 232 and / or the second extension portion 242, and extends toward the drawer 1, and together with the first limiting rib 26 and the second limiting rib 27, forms a sliding space 29 for accommodating the first flange 121 and / or the second flange 131.

[0070] A third limiting rib 28 is provided on the lower side of the first extension portion 232, and is provided on the lower surface of the first flange 121, or a third limiting rib 28 is provided on the lower side of the second extension portion 242, and is provided on the lower surface of the second flange 131, or a third limiting rib 28 is provided on the lower sides of both the first extension portion 232 and the second extension portion 242, and is provided on the lower surfaces of the first flange 121 and the second flange 131, respectively. This application takes the case where both the first extension portion 232 and the second extension portion 242 are provided with a third limiting rib 28, and are provided on the lower surfaces of the first flange 121 and the second flange 131 as an example.

[0071] One end of the third limiting rib 28 is connected to the other end of the second limiting rib 27, and the other end extends in the direction close to the front end of the drawer 1, and is arranged on the lower surface of the first flange 121 and the second flange 131, so that when the cover plate 2 moves upward in the direction away from the drawer 1 during the sliding process, the setting of the third limiting rib 28 can limit the first flange 121 and the second flange 131, thereby preventing the cover plate 2 from separating from the first wall 12 and the second wall 13, thereby preventing the cover plate 2 from separating from the drawer 1.

[0072] The cover plate 2 is provided with a first limiting rib 26, a second limiting rib 27 and a third limiting rib 28 on both sides relative to the first flange 121 and the second flange 131. The first limiting rib 26, the second limiting rib 27 and the third limiting rib 28 surround a sliding space 29 for accommodating the first flange 121 and the second flange 131. The opening 11 of the sliding space 29 faces the first flange 121 and the second flange 131 respectively. The first flange 121 and the second flange 131 are stuck in the sliding space 29. The height of the sliding space 29, that is, the distance between the first limiting rib 26 and the third limiting rib 28, is slightly larger than the height of the first flange 121 and the second flange 131, so that the cover plate 2 slides more smoothly. The cover plate 2 uses the sliding spaces 29 on both sides as slideways, so that the cover plate 2 can slide in the sliding space 29 through the first flange 121 and the second flange 131 to achieve relative movement between the cover plate 2 and the drawer 1.
