[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model is a limiting structure of a refrigerator partition, comprising a convex rib 12, wherein the convex rib 12 is arranged on both sides of the opening of the inner lining 11 of the refrigerator, and push-pull partitions 13 are arranged on the convex ribs 12 on both sides, and the partitions 13 are provided with support members 14 extending to both sides, and the convex rib 12 is located between the partition 13 and the support member 14, and a limiting groove 121 recessed inwardly is provided on the side of the convex rib 12 close to the support member 14, and an elastic member 15 that can shrink into the partition 13 is provided on the partition 13, and the elastic member 15 is adapted to the limiting groove 121.

[0032] In the above scheme, a support member 14 is provided, and the rib 12 is located between the partition 13 and the support member 14, which can limit the partition 13 vertically so that it cannot move up and down; the elastic member 15 is engaged with the limiting groove 121, which can limit the partition 13 in the push-pull direction so that it cannot move forward and backward. The two limiting operations can fix the partition 13 on the rib 12 to prevent the partition 13 from being displaced and colliding with the lining 11; and the partition 13 is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0033] Specifically, the opening of the lining 11 corresponds to the door of the refrigerator, and the user can take and put items from the opening. The partition 13 can be pushed in and out on the rib 12. The elastic member 15 has a certain elasticity, and when squeezed by an external force, it can shrink and move toward the partition 13, and when not subjected to an external force, the elastic member 15 returns to its original position.

[0034] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when installing the partition 13, at the opening of the lining 11, first align the end of the convex rib 12 close to the opening between the partition 13 and the support member 14, and then push the partition 13 inward. During the pushing process, the elastic member 15 abuts against the side of the convex rib 12 close to the support member 14, and the elastic member 15 will be compressed and contracted toward the partition 13. When the elastic member 15 moves to the limiting groove 121, the elastic member 15 restores and pops out, and engages with the limiting groove 121, and the partition 13 is installed in place; the convex rib 12 is always located between the partition 13 and the support member 14, and the partition 13 can be vertically limited, so that the partition 13 cannot move up and down; the elastic member 15 is engaged with the limiting groove 121, and the partition 13 can be limited in the push-pull direction, so that it cannot move forward and backward. The two limits can fix the partition 13 on the convex rib 12;

[0035] When the partition 13 is disassembled, the elastic member 15 is elastic, so that the elastic member 15 is first contracted inwards to be separated from the limiting groove 121, and then the partition 13 is pulled outwards.

[0036] The side wall of the partition 13 is provided with a groove 131 adapted to the convex rib 12, the bottom of the groove 131 is open, and at least two support members 14 are provided on the partition 13 outside the groove 131, and the support members 14 are protruded toward the side wall of the partition 13. A limiting space is formed between the partition 13 and the support members 14 on the top wall of the groove 131, and the convex rib 12 is in the limiting space, which can limit the partition 13 up and down.

[0037] Preferably, the two support members 14 are arranged on the partition 13 at intervals along the push-pull direction of the partition 13 .

[0038] The support member 14 is arranged to extend outwardly from the lower end of the partition 13, and the lower end of the convex rib 12 is provided with an inclined surface adapted to the support member 14. This is convenient for reducing the friction between the support member 14 and the convex rib 12, facilitating the advancement and pulling out of the partition 13, and facilitating use.

[0039] An inner wall of the groove 131 is recessed inward to form an escape groove 132 . The elastic member 15 is disposed in the escape groove 132 . The elastic member 15 protrudes out of the escape groove 132 toward the side wall of the partition 13 .

[0040] The inner wall of the groove 131 is provided with an escape groove 132 to facilitate the elastic member 15 to contract and move under force. When the elastic member 15 is squeezed, it moves inward and is located in the escape groove 132; when the elastic member 15 is not subjected to external force, the elastic member 15 returns to its original position and pops out of the escape groove 132.

[0041] An end of the rib 12 close to the opening is provided with an inclined first guide surface 122 , and one side of the elastic member 15 is provided with a second guide surface 1531 matched with the first guide surface 122 .

[0042] The first guide surface 122 cooperates with the second guide surface 1531 to guide the elastic member 15 to deform under force and shrink and move inward, thereby reducing friction and accelerating installation speed.

[0043] The first guide surface 122 and the side wall of the convex rib 12 close to the support member 14 are transitioned into an arc surface. The arc surface can guide the elastic member 15 to move, so as to reduce the friction between the elastic member 15 and the convex rib 12.

[0044] The inner diameter of the end of the groove 131 close to the opening gradually increases along the advancing direction of the partition 13. It cooperates with the end of the rib 12 having the first guide surface 122. The closer the groove 131 is to the opening, the smaller the inner diameter of the groove 131 is, so that the inner wall of the groove 131 abuts against the rib 12, increasing the friction force and making the partition 13 stable.

[0045] The elastic member 15 at least includes an adjusting portion 151 protruding downward, and the adjusting portion 151 protrudes from the lower end surface of the partition 13. The adjusting portion 151 is located outside the limiting groove 121 and protrudes downward. When the operator squeezes the adjusting portion 151, the elastic member 15 can be deformed and contracted inward to avoid the limiting groove 121, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the partition 13.

[0046] The elastic member 15 further comprises:

[0047] A connecting portion 152 is disposed in the avoidance groove 132 along the push-pull direction, and one end surface is connected to the inner wall of the avoidance groove 132;

[0048] A protruding portion 153 is connected to the other end of the connecting portion 152 and protrudes out of the avoiding groove 132 and is engaged with the limiting groove 121 . The second guiding surface 1531 is disposed on the protruding portion 153 .

[0049] The adjusting portion 151 is disposed at the other end of the connecting portion 152 and close to the protruding portion 153 .

[0050] Specifically, the elastic member 15 is entirely made of elastic material and has a certain elasticity.

[0051] Only one end of the connecting portion 152 of the elastic member 15 is connected to the inner wall of the avoidance groove 132 , and the rest of the parts are free ends and are not connected to the inner walls of the avoidance groove 132 and the groove 131 , so as to facilitate the deformation and contraction of the elastic member 15 .

[0052] Preferably, the elastic member 15 is spaced apart from the top wall of the groove 131 to facilitate the elastic member 15 to shrink and deform.

[0053] The utility model also discloses a refrigerator, comprising any of the above-mentioned limiting structures. The refrigerator is provided with the above-mentioned limiting structure, and after installation, the partition 13 is stably installed in the refrigerator, which can prevent the partition 13 from being separated and colliding with the refrigerator; and the partition 13 is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0054] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the utility model, but the content is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of application of the utility model should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the utility model.
