[0050] On the one hand, an embodiment of the utility model provides a refrigerator.

[0051] A refrigerator is used to refrigerate or freeze food or other items. For example, a refrigerator may use a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system to provide cold air to the interior of the refrigerator. The vapor compression refrigeration cycle system includes a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, a throttling device, and other refrigeration accessories.

[0052] The refrigerator can be a direct cooling refrigerator or an air-cooling refrigerator. For an air-cooling refrigerator, the evaporator can be set in an independent cooling chamber, and the cold air in the cooling chamber is transmitted to each refrigeration room by the air supply duct to cool the food, and the higher temperature gas in the refrigeration room after heat exchange with the food is sent back to the cooling room by the return air duct for further cooling, thus forming an air circulation to achieve continuous refrigeration of the refrigeration room.

[0053] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the utility model after the door body is omitted.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention may generally include a cabinet 10 and a drawer 50 .

[0055] The box body 10 is defined with one or more refrigeration compartments 11 for storage. According to different refrigeration target temperatures, the refrigeration compartment 11 can be specifically divided into a refrigerator, a temperature-changing room, a freezer, and the like. The temperature ranges in various types of refrigeration compartments are different. For example, the temperature in the refrigerator is generally controlled between 2°C and 10°C, preferably 4°C to 7°C. The temperature range in the freezer is generally controlled between -22°C and -14°C. The temperature-changing room can be adjusted between -18°C and 8°C to achieve a temperature-changing effect. The optimal storage temperatures for different types of items are not the same, and the refrigeration compartments suitable for storage are also different. For example, fruit and vegetable foods are suitable for storage in the refrigerator, while meat foods are suitable for storage in the freezer. A plurality of shelves 60 and drawers 50, 70 may be provided in the refrigeration compartment 11 for storage.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator of the embodiment of the utility model comprises a box body 10 and door bodies 20, 30, one side of the box body 10 is open, and the door bodies 20, 30 are installed on the box body 10 for opening and closing the box body 10. Figure 1 As shown, the front side of the box body 10 can be opened, and the doors 20 and 30 are movably arranged at the front side of the box body 10 for opening and closing the box body 10.

[0057] The door bodies 20 and 30 of the refrigerator can be installed on the box body 10 by a rotating connection, or can be connected to the box body 10 by a sliding connection or other motion mechanism. The number of door bodies can be multiple or one. When the number of door bodies is multiple, the multiple door bodies 20 and 30 can be arranged in the up and down direction to form a two-door, three-door or multi-door refrigerator, and the multiple door bodies 20 and 30 can also be arranged in other ways.

[0058] The drawer can be pushed and pulled forward and backward and is arranged in the refrigeration compartment 11. The drawer is a drawer 50 according to an embodiment of the utility model, and the specific structure is introduced later.

[0059] On the other hand, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a drawer 50 for a refrigerator.

[0060] Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a drawer 50 for a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 3 yes Figure 2 Another perspective diagram of the drawer body 51 in the drawer 50 shown; Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Another perspective schematic diagram of the drawer body 51 is shown; Figure 5 yes Figure 2 An exploded schematic diagram of the dividing strip 52 is shown.

[0061] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the drawer 50 for a refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention may generally include a drawer body 51 and at least one partition strip 52 .

[0062] The drawer body 51 defines a storage space 510 with an upper side open for storing items. The drawer body 51 may be square, and includes a front wall, a bottom wall, a rear wall and two transverse side walls to form an upper side opening.

[0063] Each partition strip 52 is detachably disposed in the storage space 510 to separate the storage space 510. For example, when one partition strip 52 is disposed, the storage space 510 can be separated into two sub-spaces, such as Figure 2 When two partition strips 52 are provided, the storage space 510 can be divided into three subspaces. Similarly, when n partition strips 52 are provided, the storage space 510 can be divided into n+1 subspaces.

[0064] Each dividing strip 52 includes a first strip layer 521 and a plurality of reinforcing sheets 524. The first strip layer 521 is made of a soft material so that it can be adjusted in shape under force. For example, the first strip layer 521 can be made of silicone. The plurality of reinforcing sheets 524 are made of a hard material, and are sequentially and spacedly attached to the first strip layer 521 along the length direction of the first strip layer 521 so as to strengthen the overall strength of the dividing strip 52 and prevent the dividing strip 52 from being too soft to provide effective support for the stored items. The reinforcing sheets 524 are preferably made of hard plastic, which has sufficient hardness on the one hand and is not heavy on the other. Of course, other materials with sufficient hardness can also be used.

[0065] Furthermore, a plurality of reinforcing sheets 524 are spaced apart in sequence along the length direction of the first tape layer 521 , that is, there is a gap between each two adjacent reinforcing sheets 524 to allow the dividing strip 52 to be bent along the length direction, and the bending portion is the area between each two adjacent reinforcing sheets 524 to adjust the shape of the dividing strip 52 in the storage space 510 and thereby change the partition ratio of the storage space 510 .

[0066] The drawer 50 of the embodiment of the utility model can be provided with a partition strip 52, which can be used to divide the storage space 510, and the partition strip 52 can be bent arbitrarily to change the partition ratio of the storage space 510. Figure 2 By bending the dividing strip 52 so that its middle part is convex to the left, the space on the left side of the dividing strip 52 can be reduced and the space on the right side can be enlarged. In addition, due to the provision of the reinforcing sheet 524, the dividing strip 52 has sufficient strength to provide sufficient support for the stored objects on both sides.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, the length of each dividing strip 52 can be made greater than the distance between the two opposite side walls of the drawer body 51 to leave space for the bending of the dividing strip 52. For example, the dividing strip 52 can be arranged to extend forward and backward, so that the length of each dividing strip 52 is greater than the distance between the front side wall and the rear side wall of the drawer body 51. In this way, the dividing strip 52 can be arranged obliquely and in a taut state, such as Figure 2 In addition, the dividing strip 52 may be bent to a certain extent so that the length direction of the dividing strip 52 is parallel to the front-to-back direction (the front-to-back direction is marked in the figure) as a whole. At this time, the dividing strip 52 will protrude toward one lateral side, so that the volume of the subspace on one lateral side is larger than that on the other lateral side.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, each separation belt 52 also includes a second belt layer 522, which is made of a soft material so as to adjust the shape under force. Specifically, the material of the second belt layer 522 can be the same as that of the first belt layer 521, for example, both are silicone. A plurality of reinforcing sheets 524 are located between the first belt layer 521 and the second belt layer 522. The first belt layer 521 and the second belt layer 522 can be formed by pasting, or can be an integral part formed in one piece. Such an arrangement can hide the reinforcing sheet 524 and wrap it between the first belt layer 521 and the second belt layer 522.

[0069] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the first belt layer 521 and the second belt layer 522 are bonded and formed. In addition, the first belt layer 521 can be provided with a plurality of recessed portions 5210. The second belt layer 522 is provided with a plurality of recessed portions 5220 on a side opposite to the first belt layer 521, and each recessed portion 5220 is opposite to a recessed portion 5210 to accommodate a reinforcing sheet 524.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, the two ends of the first belt layer 521 in the length direction can be connected to the two side walls of the drawer body 51 by magnetic attraction, which is convenient for installation and removal. Of course, the connection can also be completed by plugging or snapping, which will not be repeated here.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, each partition strip 52 may further include two sheet magnets 523, and the two sheet magnets 523 are respectively attached to the two end regions in the length direction of the first strip layer 521. The side wall of the drawer body 51 includes an iron material 516 so as to be magnetically fixed to the two ends in the length direction of the partition strip 52, so that the magnetic attraction area is larger, the magnetic attraction force is stronger, and the position is more stable.

[0072] Figure 6 yes Figure 3 An exploded schematic diagram of the drawer body 51 is shown.

[0073] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the iron material 516 can be embedded in the side wall of the drawer body 51 so as not to be exposed to the outside. For example, the iron material 516 is in the form of a sheet.

[0074] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of vertically extending grooves 511 are formed on the inner side of the side wall of the drawer body 51, so that the end of the partition strip 52 with the sheet magnet 523 embedded therein can be embedded therein, thereby achieving magnetic attraction. For example, three grooves 511 can be set on the front side wall of the drawer body 51, and three grooves 511 can be set on the rear side wall. Of course, the positions of the grooves 511 of the sheet iron material 516 are opposite to each other, so as to be magnetically attracted to the sheet magnet 523.

[0075] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the drawer body 51 includes a main body portion 518 and a front cover 519. The front cover 519 is arranged at the front of the main body portion 518 to play a decorative role.

[0076] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the present invention can still be directly determined or derived from the contents disclosed in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and recognized as covering all such other variations or modifications.
