[0037] In the related art, linear guides are installed on both sides of the refrigeration room, and the drawers are fixed in the buckles of the linear guides on both sides. The drawers slide in and out by sliding the linear guides. Since the drawers and the linear guides are fixed by buckles, when the drawers need to clean the internal items and slide out of the box, they need to break free from the buckles on both sides. The operation is relatively complicated and the user experience is poor. To solve this problem, the present application proposes a refrigerator.

[0038] For ease of understanding, the side of the refrigerator facing the user for user operation is the front side of the refrigerator, and the side of the refrigerator facing away from the user is the rear side of the refrigerator.

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 4 A refrigerator may include a housing 1. The housing 1 is the outer shell structure of the refrigerator, and is used to accommodate other components, such as an inner tank 11 and a refrigeration system. The shape of the housing 1 is generally rectangular, but it may also be other shapes. A refrigeration compartment 12 is formed inside the housing 1. The refrigeration compartment 12 may be formed by an opening on the front side of the inner tank 11. The refrigeration compartment 12 may be divided into a refrigeration compartment and a freezer compartment. The temperature in the freezer compartment is below zero, which is relatively low, and is mostly used to preserve meat that needs to be stored for a long time. The temperature in the refrigeration compartment is relatively high, between 2°C and 8°C, and is mostly used to store fruits and vegetables for daily needs.

[0040] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may include a door body (not shown in the figure), which may be rotatably connected to the box body 1 to open or close the refrigeration compartment 12. When the door body is closed, the door body covers the front opening of the refrigeration compartment 12, so that the refrigeration compartment 12 is closed, which is convenient for storing items at low temperatures and preventing cold from leaking out. When the door body is opened, it is convenient for users to take and put items.

[0042] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may include a refrigeration system (not shown in the figure), which is used to provide cold air to the refrigeration compartment 12 so that the refrigeration compartment 12 can be kept at a low temperature to facilitate the preservation of items.

[0043] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may include a drawer 2. The drawer 2 is disposed in the refrigeration compartment 12, and the drawer 2 has a storage cavity inside for placing items. A plurality of drawers 2 may be disposed in the refrigeration compartment 12 at intervals along the vertical direction, and the plurality of drawers 2 may store different items for classification and storage, or may store the same items.

[0044] In some embodiments, a plurality of partitions may be arranged in the refrigeration compartment 12 along the up and down directions, and a drawer 2 is correspondingly arranged on each partition.

[0045] In some embodiments, first supporting ribs are provided on the left and right sides of the refrigeration compartment 12, and second supporting ribs are provided on the left and right sides of the drawer 2. When installing, the second supporting ribs are supported on the first supporting ribs, thereby installing the drawer 2. When it is necessary to take out, the drawer 2 is pulled out.

[0046] In some embodiments, the drawer 2 may include a drawer body 21. The drawer body 21 is the main structure of the drawer 2 and is used to store items. For easy access, the drawer body 21 may be a semi-open box-shaped structure, and the second supporting ribs are formed on the left and right sides of the drawer body 21.

[0047] In some embodiments, the drawer body 21 may include a bottom plate 211, which serves as a load-bearing plate of the drawer 2 and extends along a horizontal plane. When items are placed in the drawer 2, they are supported on the bottom plate 211. The drawer body 21 may also include two side plates 212, which are respectively connected to the left and right ends of the bottom plate 211 and extend upward to form a vertical plate structure. The second support ribs may be provided on the outer side walls of the side plates 212. The drawer body 21 may also include a rear panel 213, which is connected to the rear ends of the bottom plate 211 and the side plates 212 and is used to close the rear side of the drawer body 21. The bottom plate 211, the rear panel 213 and the two side plates 212 together form the drawer body 21, so that the upper end and the front end of the drawer body 21 are open, and the user can take and put items through the upper end opening.

[0048] In some embodiments, a take-out opening 23 is provided at one end of the drawer body 21 facing the door body, i.e., at the front end of the drawer 2, and the take-out opening 23 is formed by the open front end of the drawer body 21. In some embodiments, the front end of the drawer body 21 is completely open to form the take-out opening 23, and the take-out opening 23 is used for the user to take out the items in the drawer 2 through the take-out opening 23 when the items in the drawer 2 need to be cleaned without sliding out, thereby avoiding sliding the entire drawer 2 out, which is easy to operate and improves the user experience.

[0049] In some embodiments, ears 24 are formed on both sides of one end of the drawer body 21 facing the door body, and the ears 24 extend beyond the side panels 212 in the corresponding directions in the left and right directions, but the extending distance should not be too long.

[0050] In some embodiments, the drawer 2 may further include a front panel 22, which is disposed at one end of the drawer body 21 facing the door body. The front panel 22 may be a vertical plate-like structure, opposite to the rear panel 213. The front panel 22 is connected to the drawer body 21, and the two are enclosed to form the drawer 2, so that the front end of the drawer 2 can be closed, so that when the door body is closed, the front end opening of the drawer 2 can be closed to prevent items from leaking out from the access opening 23 of the drawer body 21.

[0051] In some embodiments, one end of the front panel 22 is rotatably connected to the drawer body 21 to open or close the access opening 23, so that when the inside of the drawer 2 needs to be cleaned, the front panel 22 can be directly rotated to rotate away from the drawer body 21 toward the end of the door body to expose the access opening 23, and the user can directly take out the items in the drawer 2 from the access opening 23, saving time and effort and improving the experience. After taking out, the front panel 22 is rotated back to close the access opening 23, so that the front end of the drawer 2 is closed.

[0052] In some embodiments, the other end of the front panel 22 is connected to the corresponding position of the drawer body 21 by a snap fastener 3. When the front panel 22 closes the access opening 23, the drawer body 21 and the front panel 22 are enclosed to form a storage cavity for placing items. The front panel 22 and the drawer body 21 are connected by the snap fastener 3, and the two are convenient to fix and detach, and the user operation is simple.

[0053] In some embodiments, the front panel 22 can be rotatably connected at its upper end to the upper end of the drawer body 21, so that when the front panel 22 rotates outward, the lower end of the front panel 22 and the lower end of the drawer body 21 are separated, and the gap between the two becomes larger and larger. After rotating to a certain extent, the user can reach into the storage cavity from the lower side of the access port 23 to take out items.

[0054] In some embodiments, the front panel 22 can be rotatably connected at its lower end to the lower end of the drawer body 21, so that when the front panel 22 rotates outward, the upper end of the front panel 22 and the upper end of the drawer body 21 are separated, and the gap between the two becomes larger and larger. After rotating to a certain extent, the user can reach into the storage cavity from the upper side of the access port 23.

[0055] Of course, in some embodiments, the left or right end of the front panel 22 can also be rotatably connected to the corresponding end of the drawer body 21, so that the user can reach into the storage cavity from the right or left side of the access opening 23. The buckle 3 can be set on the non-rotating end of the front panel 22 and the drawer body 21. For example, when the upper end of the front panel 22 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the drawer body 21, the buckle 3 can be set at the position corresponding to the lower end of the front panel 22 and the drawer body 21, or at the position corresponding to the left or right end of the front panel 22 and the drawer body 21.

[0056] In this embodiment, the upper end of the front panel 22 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the drawer body 21, and the lower end of the front panel 22 is connected to the corresponding position of the drawer body 21 by the snap-fitting member 3 as an example for detailed description.

[0057] See also Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments, the top ends of the left and right sides of the front panel 22 extend the first rotating part 223 toward the drawer body 21, and the first rotating part 223 is plate-shaped, so that the rotating hole 224 is provided on the first rotating part 223. The first rotating part 223 may include two rotating plates spaced apart in the left and right directions, with a certain interval between the two rotating plates, and the outer rotating plate fits with the side plate 212 of the drawer body 21, which is more beautiful, and the rotating hole 224 is provided on the inner rotating plate.

[0058] In some embodiments, the top ends of the left and right sides of the drawer body 21 are formed with second rotating parts 214, and the second rotating parts 214 are provided with a rotating shaft 215 that is rotatably connected to the rotating hole 224, so that the front panel 22 and the drawer body 21 are rotatably connected. Through the shaft hole connection, the front panel 22 and the drawer body 21 can be easily rotatably connected.

[0059] In some embodiments, the second rotating portion 214 is protruded from the top of the left and right sides of the drawer body 21. During installation, the second rotating portion 214 extends into the gap between the two rotating plates of the first rotating portion 223, and the rotating shaft 215 is inserted into the rotating hole 224, thereby forming a shape in which the two rotating plates clamp the second rotating portion 214. The rotating shaft 215 is not easy to fall out, and the connection is more stable.

[0060] In some embodiments, a guide bevel 216 is formed on one end surface of the rotating shaft 215 away from the second rotating part 214, and the top end of the guide bevel 216 is close to the edge of the drawer body 21 relative to its bottom end, so that during installation, the guide bevel 216 of the rotating shaft 215 gradually enters the rotating hole 224, making assembly easier.

[0061] In some embodiments, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 217 are provided at intervals along the circumferential direction on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 215 , and the reinforcing ribs 217 connect the rotating shaft 215 and the wall surface of the second rotating portion 214 , so as to strengthen the structural strength of the rotating shaft 215 by utilizing the reinforcing ribs 217 . The reinforcing ribs 217 may be triangular or in other shapes.

[0062] In some embodiments, the bottom of the front panel 22 extends toward the drawer body 21 to form a connecting portion 221. The connecting portion 221 extends to form a plate body, which is arranged at an angle with the main body of the front panel 22, and the angle is usually a vertical angle.

[0063] In some embodiments, the latch 3 may include a first through hole 31 opened on the connecting portion 221 . The first through hole 31 may penetrate the connecting portion 221 in the up-down direction. The shape of the first through hole 31 may be square or circular.

[0064] In some embodiments, the snap member 3 may include a first cantilever 32 connected to one end of the bottom of the drawer body 21 facing the door body, the first cantilever 32 having a fixed end and a free end, the fixed end of the first cantilever 32 is fixed to the drawer body 21, such as the bottom plate 211, and the free end is away from the drawer body 21. Since one end of the first cantilever 32 is free, it has a certain plastic deformation ability in the up and down directions, and the first cantilever 32 is made of elastic material, and its deformation ability is stronger.

[0065] In some embodiments, a hook portion 321 is provided at the free end of the first cantilever 32, and the hook portion 321 protrudes upward or downward relative to the first cantilever 32, so that the hook portion 321 and the first cantilever 32 form an L-shaped structure, which can hook other objects. When the front panel 22 closes the access port 23, the hook portion 321 is hooked in the first through hole 31, and the hook portion 321 is hung on the hole wall of the first through hole 31 to limit the relative rotation of the front panel 22 and the drawer body 21, so that the front panel 22 and the drawer body 21 are fixedly connected.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the front panel 22 needs to be rotated outward to open the access opening 23 , the user can manually press the hook portion 321 out of the first through hole 31 , thereby separating the fastener 3 .

[0067] In some embodiments, a second through hole 34 is formed at one end of the bottom of the drawer body 21 facing the door body, and one end of the first cantilever 32 is connected to the hole wall of the second through hole 34. At this time, the first cantilever 32 is no longer suspended outside the drawer body 21. When the front panel 22 closes the access port 23, the bottom of the drawer body 21 can be attached to the connecting portion 221 to improve the sealing performance as much as possible.

[0068] In some embodiments, the buckle 3 may further include a second cantilever 33 connected to the wall of the first through hole 31. The structure of the second cantilever 33 may be the same as that of the first cantilever 32, having a fixed end and a free end, the fixed end of the second cantilever 33 being connected to the wall of the first through hole 31, and the free end thereof being away from the front panel 22. Since one end of the second cantilever 33 is free, it has a certain plastic deformation ability in the up and down directions, and the second cantilever 33 is made of elastic material, and its deformation ability is stronger.

[0069] In some embodiments, when the front panel 22 closes the access opening 23, the connecting portion 221 is located on the bottom side of the drawer 2, and the hook portion 321 of the first cantilever 32 is hooked on the hole wall of the first through hole 31 from top to bottom, and the free end of the second cantilever 33 is opposite to the hook portion 321 of the first cantilever 32, so that the user can directly press the free end of the second cantilever 33 upwards to drive the first cantilever 32 to disengage from the first through hole 31, so that the front panel 22 and the drawer body 21 are released from the fixed connection state and can rotate relative to each other to open the access opening 23.

[0070] In some embodiments, the free end of the second cantilever 33 protrudes toward one side of the hook 321 in a direction facing the hook 321 to form a protrusion 331 , and the protrusion 331 is opposite to the hook 321 , so that the user can save effort when pressing the second cantilever 33 .

[0071] In some embodiments, the free end of the second cantilever 33 partially protrudes in the direction away from the hook 321 to form a boss 332. The boss 332 serves as an identification. When the user touches the boss 332, it can help the user quickly and accurately feel the pressing position.

[0072] In some embodiments, a joint portion 25 is formed at the bottom of the drawer body 21 and extends toward one end of the door body. The joint portion 25 is higher than the bottom plate 211 in the up and down directions, and the raised distance can be adapted to the thickness of the connecting portion 221. In this way, when the front panel 22 closes the access port 23, the connecting portion 221 can be received in the area between the joint portion 25 and the bottom plate 211.

[0073] In some embodiments, a plurality of the snap fasteners 3 may be arranged at intervals along the left-right direction. The plurality of snap fasteners 3 enable the front panel 22 and the drawer body 21 to be more firmly engaged.

[0074] See also Figures 8 to 10In some embodiments, an elastic member 4 is further provided between the front panel 22 and the drawer body 21. The elastic member 4 can help the user to rotate the front panel 22. One end of the elastic member 4 is connected to the front panel 22, and the other end of the elastic member 4 is connected to the drawer body 21. When the front panel 22 closes the access port 23, the elastic member 4 is in a compressed state, and the elastic member 4 is compressed to accumulate energy. When the front panel 22 opens the access port 23, the elastic member 4 applies a force to the front panel 22 to rotate the front panel 22 away from the drawer body 21, that is, outward. In this way, the user only needs to operate the buckle 3 to unfasten it, and the elastic member 4 uses its accumulated energy to automatically rotate the front panel 22 outward, which can save effort for the user.

[0075] In some embodiments, a guide channel 43 with an open end is formed at one end of the drawer body 21 facing the door body, the bottom of the guide channel 43 is closed, and the open end of the guide channel 43 faces the front panel 22. The elastic member 4 may include an ejector pin 41, which is slidably arranged in the guide channel 43 and moves back and forth along the guide channel 43. The guide channel 43 guides the ejector pin 41 and also serves as a limit to prevent it from running off. The outer peripheral wall of the ejector pin 41 protrudes along its radial direction to form a limit ring protrusion 411, and the limit ring protrusion 411 can be set at the middle position of the ejector pin 41 in the length direction according to the stroke of the ejector pin 41.

[0076] In some embodiments, the elastic member 4 may include a spring 42, and the spring 42 is compressed to accumulate energy. The spring 42 is connected to the ejector pin 41, and can switch between a compressed state and a stretched state with the movement of the ejector pin 41. When the front panel 22 closes the access port 23, one end of the ejector pin 41 extends out of the guide channel 43 and abuts against the front panel 22, and the spring 42 is in a compressed state, so that when the front panel 22 opens the access port 23, the energy accumulated by the spring 42 acts on the ejector pin 41, and the ejector pin 41 moves outward along the guide channel 43 to push the front panel 22 to rotate outward, so that the user can rotate the front panel 22 conveniently.

[0077] In some embodiments, the ear portion 24 is opposite to the side edge of the front panel 22, that is, the ear portion 24 is opposite to the left and right sides of the front panel 22 that extend beyond the side panel 212 of the drawer body 21. The ear portion 24 is provided with a first partition 241 and a second partition 242 in sequence along the direction from the drawer body 21 to the door body, and a gap is formed between the first partition 241 and the second partition 242 to facilitate the movement of the ejector pin 41. A first through hole 243 is provided on the first partition 241, and a second through hole 244 is provided on the second partition 242 at a position opposite to the first through hole 243, and the first through hole 243 and the second through hole 244 are coaxially arranged.

[0078] In some embodiments, a fixing seat 44 is provided in the first through hole 243, and the outer contour of the fixing seat 44 corresponds to the inner contour of the first through hole 243, and the two can be clamped and fixed. Alternatively, an annular groove is provided on the inner wall of the first through hole 243, and an annular fastener that can be clamped into the annular groove is formed on the inner end of the fixing seat 44 extending into the first through hole 243, and the two are clamped together.

[0079] In some embodiments, the interior of the fixing seat 44 is hollow to form a fixing cavity with an open end, a guide column 441 is provided in the fixing cavity, a certain gap is formed between the outer periphery of the guide column 441 and the inner wall of the fixing cavity, the guide column 441 is provided with the above-mentioned guide channel 43, and the top column is slidably arranged in the guide column 441. The spring 42 is sleeved on the guide column 441 and clamped in the gap between the guide column 441 and the fixing cavity, and the two ends of the spring 42 are respectively connected to the bottom surface of the fixing cavity and the limiting ring protrusion 411, so that the axial position of the spring 42 can be limited.

[0080] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the limiting ring protrusion 411 covers the second perforation 244, and the second perforation 244 is for the ejector pin 41 to pass through. The second partition plate 242 limits the limiting ring protrusion 411. When the spring 42 releases energy to drive the ejector pin 41 to push the front panel 22 to rotate outward, the limiting ring protrusion 411 can stop when it abuts against the second partition plate 242, preventing the ejector pin 41 from falling out.

[0081] In some embodiments, the spring 42 may also be disposed in the guide channel 43 , with its two ends respectively abutting against the bottom of the guide channel 43 and the end of the ejector pin 41 .

[0082] See also Figure 11 to Figure 12 In some embodiments, the elastic member 4 may further include a torsion spring 45, which belongs to the spiral spring 42. The torsion spring 45 may store and release angular energy or statically fix a structure by rotating the force arm around the central axis of the spring body. The torsion spring 45 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 215, and one end of the torsion spring 45 is connected to the first rotating part 223.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first rotating part 223 may further include a top plate 225, which is connected to the top of the front panel 22 and extends toward the drawer body 21 to cover and connect the two rotating plates. When the torsion spring 45 is connected to the first rotating part 223, one end of the torsion spring 45 can abut against the inner side of the top plate 225. The other end of the torsion spring 45 is connected to the second rotating part 214, and a limiting hole 218 is provided on the second rotating part 214 at the lower side of the rotating shaft 215. The other end of the torsion spring 45 is inserted into the limiting hole 218. The torsion spring 45 is in a compressed state when the front panel 22 closes the access port 23, so that when the front panel 22 is to be opened, the force arm of the torsion spring 45 rebounds to push the front panel 22 to rotate outward, so that the user can open the front panel 22 conveniently.
