[0026] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model is a refrigerator, which includes an inner container 1 and a drawer 2.
[0028] The inner container 1 has a cavity 11 and is open at one end. The inner walls of the cavity 11 on both sides of the opening are provided with placement ribs 111 and mounting grooves 112 from top to bottom. The placement ribs 111 are protruding and close to the top wall of the cavity 11.
[0029] The drawer 2 is provided with convex ribs 21 on both opposite side walls. When the drawer 2 is placed upright or upside down, the convex ribs 21 can be pulled out and set in the installation groove 112, or the upper and lower ends of the drawer 2 are set between the placement ribs 111 and the top wall of the cavity 11.
[0030] In the above scheme, the drawer 2 has two placement states in the inner tank 1: upright or inverted. When the drawer 2 is placed upright, it can be used to store items with a lower vertical height. When the drawer 2 located at the top is placed inverted, the space below the drawer 2 can be increased. The storage space of the drawer 2 located at the bottom is increased, and items with a higher vertical height can be stored. By adjusting the placement state of the drawer 2, the storage space of the remaining drawers 2 can be adjusted, and items of different heights can be placed, which is convenient for use.
[0031] Specifically, multiple drawers 2 can be set in the inner liner 1. If a higher vertical height is required for storage, the upper drawer 2 can be taken out first, turned upside down, and placed between the placement rib 111 and the top wall of the cavity 11. The end of the drawer 2 is placed on the placement rib 111, and the remaining drawers 2 are placed upright for storage through the convex rib 21 and the installation groove 112. The upper drawer 2 can be turned upside down to adjust the space in the inner liner 1. The space above the lower drawer 2 is vacant, and the space for storing items in the lower drawer 2 is increased, so that larger and higher items can be stored.
[0032] If the items to be stored are small in size and low in vertical height, the ribs 21 on both sides of the drawer 2 can be pulled out and set in the installation grooves 112, and the drawer 2 can be placed upright to store items normally.
[0033] The placement ribs 111 are disposed close to the top wall of the cavity 11 , so that the drawer 2 can be placed close to the top wall of the cavity 11 to maximize the space below.
[0034] The convex ribs 21 and supporting ribs 22 are provided on opposite side walls of the drawer 2. The convex ribs 21 are provided near the bottom of the drawer 2, and the top surfaces of the supporting ribs 22 are flush with the top outer wall of the drawer 2. When the drawer 2 is inverted, the top surfaces of the supporting ribs 22 abut against the top surfaces of the placement ribs 111, thereby supporting the drawer 2.
[0035] The inner wall of the cavity 11 is provided with auxiliary grooves 113 that mate with the inverted ribs 21 and are spaced below the placement ribs 111. A recess is formed between the ribs 21 and the support ribs 22 to accommodate the protruding components of the drawer 2. The auxiliary grooves 113, which mate with the ribs 21, can be used to mount the inverted drawer 2, increasing the number of drawer installation locations and making it easier for users to select the right drawer.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the drawer 2 has a storage cavity 23. A first opening and a second opening are respectively provided on the top wall and the end near the opening of the storage cavity 23. The first opening and the second opening are connected. When the drawer 2 is inverted, the first opening faces downward, and the second opening faces the opening of the cavity 11. The two openings are connected to prevent tall items from interfering with the open end of the drawer 2, facilitating user access.
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first opening is formed on the top wall of the entire accommodating cavity 23, and the second opening extends along the length direction of the drawer 2 to the inner side wall of the accommodating cavity 23 and along the height direction of the drawer 2 to the bottom wall edge of the accommodating cavity 23. This increases the space for users to take and put items, making it easier for users to use.
[0038] Part of the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 23 near the opening protrudes from the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 23 to form a blocking portion 24. When the drawer 2 is placed upright for storage, the blocking portion 24 can prevent the items from sliding out from the end near the opening, making it easier to store the items securely.
[0039] The bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 23 at the second opening edge is turned outward to form a protruding drawer 25, which is convenient for users to draw the drawer 2 and store items.
[0040] The side walls of the accommodating cavity 23 at both side edges of the second opening are arranged to extend outwardly from the edge of the first opening.
[0041] The inner wall of the accommodating chamber 23, away from the opening, is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart through-holes 231. If the unfrozen items contain water, the liquid water can flow out of the drawer 2 through the through-holes 231. The inner wall of the accommodating chamber 23, opposite the second opening, is located outside the items. The items there freeze later than those elsewhere. Cold air enters through the through-holes 231, accelerating freezing and improving the freezing effect. This also facilitates quick drainage when the user cleans the drawer 2.
[0042] The inner wall of the accommodating cavity 23, distal from the opening, forms an inclined surface transition to the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 23. The through-holes 231 are disposed on this inclined surface and arranged in an array. The multiple drawers 2 are vertically spaced apart within the inner container 1. The bottommost drawer 2 is not provided with through-holes 231. This allows water in the upper drawers 2 to be collected in the bottommost drawer 2 and then drained out uniformly, preventing large amounts of water from accumulating within the drawers 2.
[0043] The above describes an embodiment of the present invention in detail. However, the above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
