Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerators, in particular to a storage device and a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] Refrigerators are one of the indispensable household appliances in modern families. They are mainly used to store food or other items that need to be stored at low temperatures to keep them fresh and edible at low temperatures. Most refrigerators have a refrigeration area and a freezing area. When using a refrigerator to store items, commonly used items that cannot be frozen are placed in the refrigeration area. In order to facilitate the storage of items and the rational use of refrigeration space, glass shelves are usually placed in the refrigeration area of ​​the refrigerator to divide the item placement area, so that the larger space in height can also be reasonably used.

[0003] In an existing refrigerator, two to three layers of glass shelves are usually arranged, and the intervals between the two to three layers of glass shelves are often large. When the large space is used to place items, the space between the items and the upper glass shelf is not filled, resulting in a waste of space. If the items are piled up to fill the space, the items close to the lower glass shelf will be squeezed and damaged and difficult to take out. If the space between two adjacent glass shelves is reduced by increasing the number of glass shelves, although the possibility of wasting the space above the items when the items are stacked can be reduced, when the space occupied by the items to be stored is large in height, it is easy to cause the items occupying a large space in height to not be placed between two adjacent glass shelves, resulting in the space in the refrigerator not being reasonably used. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a storage device to solve the problem that items cannot be placed well between two adjacent glass shelves due to their height, and to reasonably use the space in the refrigerator.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: a storage device, including a fixed storage rack, on which a partition plate and a connecting piece for retracting and releasing the partition plate are movably provided, both sides of the partition plate are movably connected to the fixed storage rack through the connecting piece, one side of the connecting piece is slidably provided on the fixed storage rack, and the other side is hinged to the partition plate, and a stabilizing piece is provided between the fixed storage rack and the partition plate for stabilizing the partition plate when the partition plate is folded.

[0006] After adopting the above technical scheme, in most cases, items are stacked on the fixed storage rack. However, when there are too many stacked items and the items on the lower layer are squeezed or difficult to take, the connecting piece can be slid on the fixed storage rack to open the partition. After the partition is opened, the items that are not easy to be squeezed or piled up can be moved to the partition, thereby reducing the possibility of cluttered stacking of items and affecting the stacking of items. After the partition is opened, when the space occupied by the items to be placed in height is greater than the distance between the lower fixed storage rack and the opened partition, the partition can be retracted through the connecting piece. The retracted partition is stabilized on the fixed storage rack connected to it by the stabilizing piece, and then the items that occupy more space at the height of the partition are placed between the lower fixed storage rack and the retracted partition. The partition is driven by the connecting piece to be retracted and extended. The partition can be opened or retracted according to the situation of the stored items. Multiple smaller items can be stored in layers, or larger items can be placed, so that the space between two adjacent fixed storage racks is used more reasonably.

[0007] When the partition is folded, the stabilizer stabilizes the partition on the fixed storage rack, reducing the possibility of the partition accidentally falling off and hitting the stored items, and also reducing the possibility of the partition suddenly falling and causing impact on the fixed storage rack, thereby increasing the service life of the fixed storage rack.

[0008] Furthermore, two partition plates are arranged side by side, and both sides of the two partition plates along their distribution direction are connected to the fixed storage rack via connecting pieces.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, two partition boards are arranged side by side. When the height of the items is large and the width is small, one or two partition boards can be opened according to the actual size of the items and the stacking situation, so that the space between adjacent fixed shelves can be used more reasonably.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixed storage rack is provided with a guide rod, and guide grooves are provided on both ends of the guide rod along the distribution direction of the two connecting members. The two connecting members are respectively plugged into the two guide grooves, and the connecting members slide in the guide grooves to retract and release the partition plate.

[0011] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, during the retraction and extension process of the connecting piece, the connecting piece slides in the guide groove on the guide rod, so that the connecting rod slides along the extension direction of the guide groove, thereby reducing the uncertainty of the sliding direction of the connecting piece and affecting the retraction and extension of the partition plate, and the connecting piece is inserted in the guide groove, so that the partition plate is upper-limited in the height direction, thereby forming support for the partition plate, reducing the possibility of the partition plate falling from the fixed storage rack.

[0012] Furthermore, the guide groove includes a first guide groove and a second guide groove connected to the first guide groove, the second guide groove extends downwardly in an inclined direction along the opening direction of the partition plate, the connecting member slides in the first guide groove during the process of retracting and releasing the partition plate, and the connecting member is located in the second guide groove after opening the partition plate.

[0013] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, when the connecting member slides in the guide groove to open the partition plate, the connecting member slides from the first guide groove to the second guide groove, and when sliding to retract the partition plate, the connecting member slides from the second guide groove to the first guide groove. After opening the partition plate, the connecting member is located at the tail end of the second guide groove. When the second guide groove extends downward at an angle, the connecting member is unlikely to slide reversely from the second guide groove to the first guide groove, thereby improving the stability of the opening of the partition plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting member includes a connecting plate and a connecting rod, wherein the connecting rod is arranged on one side of the connecting plate and is inserted into the first guide slot or the second guide slot, and the other side of the connecting plate is hinged to the partition plate.

[0015] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, when the connecting piece connects the fixed storage rack and the partition plate, one side of the connecting plate is hinged to the side of the partition plate, and the other side is slidably installed in the first guide slot or the second guide slot through a connecting rod, which is convenient for opening and retracting the partition plate, and the entire side of the connecting plate is hinged to the partition plate, thereby increasing the contact range between the connecting handle and the partition plate and reducing the possibility of the partition plate detaching from the connecting plate and accidentally falling off.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting plate is in an inclined state during the retraction and extension process of the partition plate.

[0017] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the connecting plate is in an inclined state when the partition plate is fully opened, so that the operator can push up the partition plate when folding the partition plate, so that the connecting rod on the upper side of the connecting plate slides from the second guide slot to the first guide slot to fold the partition plate. The connecting plate also remains in an inclined state when the partition plate is fully folded. When the partition plate needs to be opened, the partition plate is pulled downward, and the inclined connecting plate drives the connecting rod to slide from the first guide slot to the second guide slot. Therefore, the connecting plate is installed at an angle during the folding and unfolding process of the partition plate, thereby reducing the difficulty of folding and unfolding the partition plate.

[0018] Furthermore, the partition plate is provided with a guide roller, the fixed storage rack is provided with a guide rail groove extending along the retracting and extending direction of the partition plate, and the guide roller is slidably inserted in the guide rail groove.

[0019] By adopting the above-mentioned technical scheme, a guide roller is arranged on the partition plate and the guide roller is inserted into the guide rail groove. On the one hand, the insertion of the guide roller and the guide rail groove improves the stability of the partition plate and reduces the possibility of horizontal shaking of the partition plate after opening. On the other hand, through the insertion of the guide roller and the guide rail groove, when the partition plate is retracted or released, the guide roller slides in the guide rail groove for guidance, thereby reducing the influence of uncertainty in direction on the retraction and release of the partition plate during the process of opening or retracting the partition plate.

[0020] Furthermore, the stabilizing member includes a first magnetic block and a second magnetic block, the first magnetic block is arranged on the fixed storage rack, and the second magnetic block is arranged on the partition plate, and when the partition plate is folded, the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block are magnetically attracted to stabilize the partition plate.

[0021] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, when the partition plate is folded up, the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block are magnetically attracted to each other, so that the partition plate is subjected to the mutual attraction force between the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block when folded up, thereby reducing the possibility of accidental opening of the partition plate after it is folded, thereby reducing the possibility of the partition plate hitting the items stored under the partition plate, reducing the impact on the fixed storage rack during the detachment process of the partition plate, thereby reducing the possibility of reducing the service life of the fixed storage rack.

[0022] Furthermore, an auxiliary hole for assisting in unfolding the partition plate is provided at the center of the partition plate.

[0023] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, an auxiliary hole is set at the center of the partition plate. When the operator needs to open the partition plate, he can insert his fingers into the auxiliary hole, apply his fingers to the upper surface of the partition plate, and then pull the partition plate downward to open the partition plate. The opening of the auxiliary hole increases the stability of the human hand on the partition plate when opening the partition plate, and reduces the possibility of the human hand accidentally slipping off the partition plate during the opening process.

[0024] The utility model also provides a refrigerator, comprising a shell and the above-mentioned storage device.

[0025] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the storage device is installed in the outer shell of the refrigerator. When items of different quantities, sizes, and whether they can be squeezed need to be stored in the refrigerator, one or two partition boards can be selectively opened or folded according to the specific conditions of the items, so that the diverse items can be placed in the refrigerator in a more standardized manner, which is convenient for the storage and subsequent retrieval of items, and the space in the refrigerator can be used more reasonably.

[0036] The following specific embodiments are used to describe the technical solution of the utility model in detail. The following specific embodiments can be combined or replaced with each other according to actual conditions, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model provides a storage device, including a fixed storage rack 1, on which a partition plate 2 and a connecting member 3 for retracting and releasing the partition plate 2 are movably provided, both sides of the partition plate 2 are movably connected to the fixed storage rack 1 through the connecting member 3, one side of the connecting member 3 is slidably provided on the fixed storage rack 1, and the other side is hinged on the partition plate 2, and a stabilizing member 5 for stabilizing the partition plate 2 when the partition plate 2 is retracted is provided between the fixed storage rack 1 and the partition plate 2.

[0038] In most cases, when the storage device is used, items are stacked on the fixed storage rack 1. However, when there are many items to be stored or there are items that cannot be squeezed, the large number of items stacked on the fixed storage rack 1 will appear messy, and the items that cannot be squeezed will be squeezed during the stacking process, causing damage to the items. After the partition plate 2 is opened by the setting of the partition plate 2 and the connecting member 3, more items are classified and placed on the fixed storage rack 1 or the partition plate 2, or the items that cannot be squeezed are placed on the partition plate 2; and for items that are larger in size, according to the actual size of the items, when the space occupied by the items in the height direction is greater than the distance between the lower fixed storage rack 1 and the opened partition plate 2, the partition plate 2 can be retracted by the connecting member 3, thereby facilitating the storage of items, and the partition plate 2 can be retracted and released by the connecting member 3, so that the space in the storage device is used more reasonably.

[0039] When the partition plate 2 is folded, the fixed storage rack 1 and the partition plate 2 are stabilized by the stabilizing member 5 , thereby reducing the possibility that the partition plate 2 is accidentally separated from the fixed storage rack 1 .

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the use of the space between two adjacent fixed racks 1, two partition plates 2 are arranged side by side, and both sides of the two partition plates 2 along their distribution direction are connected to the fixed racks 1 through connecting members 3. Through the arrangement of the two partition plates 2, the user can selectively fold one or two partition plates 2 according to the actual size of the stored items, so that the space between the two adjacent fixed racks 1 can be used more reasonably; both sides of the two partition plates 2 are connected to the fixed racks 1 through connecting members 3, which stabilizes the partition plates 2 and facilitates the folding and unfolding of the partition plates 2.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the sliding of the connecting member 3 on the fixed rack 1, a guide rod 4 is provided on the fixed rack 1. Two guide rods 4 are distributed along the inner and outer sides of the fixed rack 1. Both guide rods 4 extend along the distribution direction of the two partition plates 2. Guide grooves 41 are provided on the guide rods 4.

[0042] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a guide rod 4 is provided with four guide grooves 41, and the four guide grooves 41 are grouped in pairs, and a partition plate 2 is installed in the same group of guide grooves 41. Two guide grooves 41 in one group are arranged opposite to each other, so that two connecting members 3 connected to the fixed storage rack 1 slide relatively in the same group of guide grooves 41 to close or open the partition plate 2.

[0043] Furthermore, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the guide groove 41 includes a first guide groove 411 and a second guide groove 412. The first guide groove 411 is connected to the second guide groove 412. When the partition plate 2 is opened, it slides from the first guide groove 411 to the second guide groove 412. The second guide groove 412 extends downwardly in an inclined direction along the opening direction of the partition plate 2. When the connecting member 3 slides to the second guide groove 412, the second guide groove 412 extends downwardly in an inclined manner, thereby reducing the possibility that the connecting member 3 slides in the second guide groove 412 toward the first guide groove 411 and affects the opening of the partition plate 2.

[0044] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 to Figure 4 As shown, the specific structure of the connecting member 3 includes a connecting plate 31 and a connecting rod 32. The connecting rod 32 is rotatably mounted on the upper side of the connecting plate 31. The lower side of the connecting plate 31 is hinged to the partition plate 2. The connecting rod 32 extends into the first guide slot 411 or the second guide slot 412. When the partition plate 2 is folded, the two connecting rods 32 connecting the same partition plate 2 are both located in the first guide slot 411 and at one end of the two first guide slots 411 close to each other. After the partition plate 2 is opened, the two connecting rods 32 are located at one end of the second guide slot 412 away from the first guide slot 411.

[0045] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in order to facilitate the retraction and extension of the partition plate 2, the connecting plate 31 is in an inclined state during the retraction and extension process of the partition plate 2, and the inclination state of the connecting plate 31 is inclined downward from the center of the partition plate 2 to the side; specifically, as Figure 3 As shown, when the partition plate 2 needs to be folded, the operator lifts the partition plate 2 upward, and the inclined connecting plate 31 drives the connecting rod 32 to slide along the second guide slot 412 to the first guide slot 411, and the inclined connecting plate 31 reduces the difficulty of the connecting rod 32 entering the second guide slot 412 from the second guide slot 412; Figure 6 As shown, when the partition plate 2 needs to be opened, the operator pulls the partition plate 2 downward, and the inclined connecting plate 31 drives the connecting rod 32 to slide along the first guide slot 411 to the second guide slot 412, so as to facilitate the opening of the partition plate 2.

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in order to improve the stability of the opening of the partition 2, a guide groove 12 extending along the opening direction of the partition is provided on the rear side plate 11 of the fixed storage rack 1, and a guide roller 33 is provided on the side surface of the rear side plate 11 of the partition 2 facing the storage rack, and the guide roller 33 is slidably inserted in the guide groove 12. On the one hand, the insertion of the guide roller 33 and the guide groove 12 allows the partition 2 to be upper-positioned in the distribution direction of the two partitions 2, thereby reducing the possibility of the partition 2 swaying after opening; on the other hand, the sliding insertion of the guide roller 33 and the guide groove 12 plays a guiding role in the process of opening or retracting the partition 2, thereby reducing the influence of the uncertainty of the direction in the process of opening or retracting the partition 2 on the retraction and extension of the partition 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the stabilizing member 5 includes a first magnetic block 51 and a second magnetic block 52, and four positioning seats 42 are installed on the guide rod 4. The four positioning seats 42 are all located at one end of the first guide slot 411 away from the second guide slot 412. The first magnetic block 51 is arranged on the positioning seat 42, and the second magnetic block 52 is arranged on the partition plate 2 and is located directly below the first magnetic block 51. When the partition plate 2 is folded, the first magnetic block 51 and the second magnetic block 52 are close to each other and magnetically attracted to each other, thereby stabilizing the folded partition plate 2 and reducing the possibility of the partition plate 2 accidentally detaching from the fixed storage rack 1. In addition, when the partition plate 2 is folded, the connecting rod 32 abuts against the groove wall of the first guide slot 411 away from the second guide slot 412, and the positioning seat 42 and the first magnetic block 51 are installed at one end of the first guide slot 411 away from the second guide slot 412, reducing the possibility of the connecting rod 32 sliding along the first guide slot 411 toward the second guide slot 412 and accidentally opening.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the pulling down of the partition plate 2, an auxiliary hole 21 for assisting in unfolding the partition plate 2 is provided at the center of the partition plate 2. When the partition plate 2 needs to be opened, the operator's finger acts upward on the upper surface of the partition plate 2 from the auxiliary hole 21. Through the auxiliary hole 21, the operator stably drives the partition plate 2 to slide downward, thereby improving the stability of the opening process of the partition plate 2, reducing the possibility of the partition plate 2 suddenly slipping out of the hand and causing an impact on the guide rod 4, and thereby increasing the service life of the fixed storage rack 1.

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, in another embodiment, the utility model further provides a refrigerator, including a housing 6 and the aforementioned storage device. When using the refrigerator, the user can choose whether to open the partition plate 2 according to the size, quantity and whether the items stored in the refrigerator can be squeezed. One partition plate 2 or two partition plates 2 can also be opened according to the actual need of storing items.

[0050] In addition to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, the present invention also has other implementation modes. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work are within the scope of protection requested by the present invention.
