The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0039] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 10 A storage device 1 according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0040] It should be noted that the storage device 1 in this embodiment can be understood as a refrigeration storage device in a broad sense, including but not limited to refrigerators, freezers, display cabinets, beverage cabinets, wine cabinets, fresh-keeping cabinets, refrigerated vending machines and other refrigeration storage devices. The storage device 1 has various structural forms and a wide range of applications.

[0041] The storage device includes a box body and a door body, the box body includes a top wall, a bottom wall, a back plate and two left and right side walls, the door body is arranged in front of the box body, and the door body can be connected to the side wall of the box body by a pivot structure. The box body defines a storage compartment inside, and the storage compartment can include a refrigeration compartment, a freezing compartment, a variable temperature compartment or a thawing compartment.

[0042] Exemplarily, the refrigerating compartment, freezing compartment, temperature-changing compartment or thawing compartment may be independent compartments, each of which is provided with an independent door; or, one or more of the refrigerating compartment, freezing compartment, temperature-changing compartment and thawing compartment may share a compartment, for example, the temperature-changing compartment or thawing compartment may be located in the refrigerating compartment.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the storage device 1 of the embodiment of the present application includes: a box body 11, a refrigerated door body 112 and a thawing device 2; the box body 11 defines a refrigerated compartment 111; the refrigerated door body 112 is pivotally mounted on the front side of the box body 11, for closing the refrigerated compartment 111; the refrigerated door body 112 includes a first part 1121 and a second part 1122, and the thickness of the first part 1121 along the front-to-back direction is less than the thickness of the second part 1122 along the front-to-back direction; the thawing device 2 is mounted on the rear side of the first part 1121.

[0044] In this embodiment, the refrigerating door 112 may be connected to the side wall by a pivot structure, and the refrigerating door 112 may be opened or closed relative to the box body 11 to close or open the refrigerating compartment 111 .

[0045] The thawing device 2 is installed at the rear side of the first portion 1121 . When the refrigerating door 112 is closed relative to the box body 11 , the thawing device 2 is located in the refrigerating compartment 111 .

[0046] like Figure 3As shown, the refrigeration door body 112 includes a first part 1121 and a second part 1122, and the first part 1121 and the second part 1122 can be distributed in the left-right direction or in the up-down direction. The thickness of the first part 1121 in the front-to-back direction is less than the thickness of the second part 1122 in the front-to-back direction. The thawing device 2 is installed on the rear side of the first part 1121, and the thinned thickness of the first part 1121 can be utilized, so that the encroachment on the refrigeration compartment 111 can be reduced without reducing the volume of the thawing compartment 23 of the thawing device 2.

[0047] Among them, the structure of the first part 1121 can be various. For example, the thickness of the foaming layer of the first part 1121 along the front-to-back direction is less than the thickness of the foaming layer of the second part 1122 along the front-to-back direction. The first part 1121 can be filled with less foaming material than the second part 1122 to reduce the thickness of the foaming layer; or, the first part 1121 can be hollowed out, that is, the first part 1121 can be not filled with foaming material to achieve further thinning of the thickness of the area where the first part 1121 is located; or, the first part 1121 is an installation opening 1126 of a through structure, the front end of the thawing device 2 is connected to the installation opening 1126, and the front wall of the thawing device 2 closes the installation opening 1126.

[0048] The thawing device 2 can be installed on the rear side of the first part 1121 by means of snap connection, threaded connection, plug-in connection or integral molding.

[0049] Exemplarily, one or more of the front end, left and right side walls, and front and rear side walls of the thawing device 2 may be connected to the refrigeration door body 112 .

[0050] In the related art, in order to increase the diversity of refrigerator functions, a refrigerator structure has been developed in which a thawing device is installed inside a refrigerating compartment. The thawing device has two installation positions: one is to install the thawing device in the refrigerating compartment, thereby increasing the thawing function of the storage device. However, the thawing device will occupy the space of the refrigerating compartment. Considering that the frequency of use of the refrigerating compartment is greater than that of the thawing device, the volume of the thawing device is usually reduced to reduce the occupation of the refrigerating compartment. However, the volume of the reduced thawing device is small and has poor practicality. The second is to install the thawing device on the refrigerating door body. Although the occupation of the refrigerating compartment is reduced to a certain extent, in order to reduce the occupation of the thawing device on the refrigerating compartment, the thawing device is installed on the refrigerating door body. Due to the influence of the opening and closing of the refrigerator door, it is usually necessary to shorten the depth of the interior panel of the refrigerator compartment along the front-to-back direction or reduce the thickness of the thawing device 2 along the front-to-back direction, which also encroaches on the effective volume of the refrigerator compartment and reduces the practicality of the thawing device. In the scheme of placing the thawing device 2 on the refrigerator door, since the refrigerator door needs to open and close relative to the box body 11, the components in the thawing device 2 must be relatively independent. However, since the components of the thawing device 2 are placed in the thawing device 2, the effective volume ratio of the thawing device is not high. In order to enable the thawing device 2 to effectively place the thawed objects, the total volume of the thawing device 2 needs to be increased, but this will encroach on the effective volume of the refrigerator compartment 111.

[0051] According to the storage device 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application, by thinning the refrigerated door body 112 and installing the thawing device 2 on the rear side of the thinner first part 1121, the thawing device 2 can use the thinned space of the first part 1121, so that without reducing the size of the thawing device 2 along the front-to-back direction, the encroachment of the thawing device 2 on the refrigerated compartment 111 can be reduced, the practicality of the thawing device 2 can be improved, and the impact on the opening and closing of the refrigerated door body 112 can be reduced.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, a door lining 1123 is provided on the side of the refrigerating door 112 facing the cabinet 11 . The door lining 1123 is provided on the inner surface of the refrigerator door to reduce the leakage of cold air in the refrigerating compartment 111 of the cabinet 11 .

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the thawing device 2 includes a shell 21, which defines a thawing chamber 23, and the shell 21 is installed on the door lining 1123.

[0054] Exemplarily, the housing 21 can be installed on the rear side of the door lining 1123 by means of snap connection, threaded connection, plug-in connection or integrated molding. One or more of the front end, left and right side walls and upper and lower side walls of the housing 21 can be connected to the rear side of the door lining 1123.

[0055] In some embodiments, the thawing device 2 also includes an insulation layer, which covers at least one of the inner side and the outer side of the shell 21 to isolate the thawing chamber 23 from the refrigeration chamber 111, improve the insulation effect of the shell 21, and reduce the temperature interference between the thawing chamber 23 and the refrigeration chamber 111.

[0056] The heat-insulating layer includes one or more of a foaming material layer and a vacuum insulation panel, and the foaming material layer may be a polyurethane foam layer or a phenolic foam layer.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the thickness L1 of the thawing device 2 satisfies: 100mm≤L1≤200mm. For example, L1 can be 100mm, 120mm, 130mm, 150mm, 180mm or 200mm, which can not only meet the volume demand of the thawing chamber 23 for thawing food and other thawing materials, but also reduce the encroachment of the thawing device 2 on the refrigeration chamber 111, and also make the refrigeration door 112 close normally.

[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the distance L2 from the rear surface of the thawing device 2 to the front surface of the refrigerated door body 112 satisfies: 105mm≤L2≤280mm. For example, L2 can be 110mm, 140mm, 180mm, 210mm, 230mm or 280mm, which can be determined according to the installation position of the thawing device 2 and the specifications of the box body 11.

[0059] Among them, the distance L2 from the rear surface of the thawing device 2 to the front surface of the refrigeration door body 112 is the sum of the thickness of the first part 1121 along the front-to-back direction and the thickness of the thawing device 2 along the front-to-back direction.

[0060] In this embodiment, by limiting the distance from the rear surface of the thawing device 2 to the front surface of the refrigeration door body 112, the protruding size of the thawing device 2 relative to the refrigeration door body 112 can be reduced, which can not only meet the volume demand of the thawing chamber 23 for thawing food and other thawing materials, but also reduce the encroachment of the thawing device 2 on the refrigeration chamber 111, and also enable the refrigeration door body 112 to close normally.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the difference L3 between the thickness of the second part 1122 along the front-to-back direction and the thickness of the first part 1121 along the front-to-back direction satisfies: 1mm≤L3≤40mm. For example, L3 can be 1mm, 10mm, 25mm, 36mm or 40mm, that is, the thickness L3 of the first part 1121 after thinning relative to the second part 1122 satisfies: 1mm≤L3≤40mm, which can be specifically determined according to the installation position of the thawing device 2 and the specifications of the box body 11.

[0062] The first part 1121 provides the thawing device 2 with an avoidance distance L3 along the front-rear direction.

[0063] In this embodiment, the reduced thickness L3 of the first portion 1121 can provide an escape space for the thawing device along the front-to-back direction, thereby reducing the encroachment of the thawing device on the refrigerating compartment 111 .

[0064] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the distance L4 from the top of the thawing device 2 to the bottom of the box 11 satisfies: 400mm≤L4≤1000mm. For example, L4 can be 400mm, 500mm, 650mm, 800mm or 1000mm, which can be determined according to the installation position of the thawing device 2 and the specifications of the box 11.

[0065] In this embodiment, by determining the height of the thawing device 2, it can be suitable for users of different heights, thereby improving the convenience of use for users.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the height L5 of the thawing device 2 satisfies: 150mm≤L5≤400mm. For example, L5 can be 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, 300mm or 400mm, which can be specifically determined according to the installation position of the thawing device 2 and the specifications of the box body 11, so as to meet the space requirements of the thawing chamber 23 for thawing of various food materials and other thawing objects, thereby improving the practicality of the thawing device 2.

[0067] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the refrigerated door body 112 is provided with a first mounting structure 1124 , and the thawing device 2 is provided with a second mounting structure 211 detachably connected to the first mounting structure 1124 . The thawing device 2 is detachably mounted on the refrigerated door body 112 via the second mounting structure 211 .

[0068] Among them, the thawing device 2 can be detachably installed on the rear side of the refrigerated door body 112, and the thawing device 2 can be connected to the refrigerated door body 112 by one or more connection methods including plug-in connection, snap connection and threaded connection.

[0069] Among them, Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of first mounting structures 1124 may be provided, a plurality of second mounting structures 211 may be provided, and the second mounting structures 211 may be connected to the first mounting structures 1124 in a one-to-one correspondence to increase the stability of the connection.

[0070] In this embodiment, by detachably installing the thawing device 2 on the rear side of the refrigeration door body 112, the user can choose whether to install the thawing device 2 according to his or her needs, thereby improving the flexibility of using the thawing device 2 and increasing the usage scenarios of the storage device 1.

[0071] Exemplarily, the first mounting structure 1124 and the second mounting structure 211 can be a plug-in connection, one of the first mounting structure 1124 and the second mounting structure 211 is a plug, and the other of the first mounting structure 1124 and the second mounting structure 211 is a socket. When the second mounting structure 211 of the thawing device 2 is aligned with the first mounting structure 1124 of the refrigerated door body 112, the connection between the two can be completed by placing the thawing device 2 close to the refrigerated door body 112, and installation and disassembly are relatively simple.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first mounting structure 1124 may also be used to mount a cup holder to increase the flexibility of space utilization of the storage device 1 .

[0073] In some embodiments, the first mounting structure 1124 and the second mounting structure 211 are snap-fitted.

[0074] Among them, the first mounting structure 1124 can be set on the rear side of the refrigeration door body 112, and the second mounting structure 211 can be set on the front end of the shell 21; or, the first mounting structure 1124 can be set on the inner groove wall on the left and right sides of the first part 1121, and the second mounting structure 211 can be set on the outer shell wall on the left and right sides of the shell 21 of the thawing device 2.

[0075] For example, when the first mounting structure 1124 is disposed at the rear side of the refrigerated door body 112 and the second mounting structure 211 is disposed at the front end of the housing 21, the first mounting structure 1124 may be a slot with an open upper end, and the second mounting structure 211 may be a protrusion, and the protrusion may have a bent portion extending downward. In actual use, the thawing device 2 may be moved from top to bottom to move the bent portion of the protrusion into the slot, and the thawing device 2 may be suspended on the refrigerated door body 112 by the stop effect of the rear surface of the protrusion and the rear surface of the slot.

[0076] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in the case where the first mounting structure 1124 is disposed on the inner groove walls on the left and right sides of the first part 1121, and the second mounting structure 211 is disposed on the outer shell walls on the left and right sides of the shell 21 of the thawing device 2, the first mounting structure 1124 can be a slot with an open upper end and opposite sides, and the second mounting structure 211 can be a protrusion. In actual use, the thawing device 2 can be moved from top to bottom to move the protrusion into the slot, and when the lower surface of the protrusion and the lower end surface of the slot are stopped, the thawing device 2 is fixedly connected to the refrigeration door body 112.

[0077] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the thawing device 2 further includes: a tray, which is arranged on the bottom wall of the shell 21 of the thawing device 2, and the tray is used to hold thawing objects such as food.

[0078] Exemplarily, the tray can be fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the shell 21 by means of one-piece molding or welding to reduce the impact of the movement of the tray on the thawing effect; alternatively, the tray can also be detachably mounted on the bottom wall of the shell 21 by means of a pivot connection or a snap connection to facilitate removal and cleaning; alternatively, the tray can also be rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of the shell 21 by means of a pivot connection or a concave-convex fitting connection, so that the thawed material can rotate during the thawing process to increase the uniformity of the thawing.

[0079] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the tray is rotatably disposed on the bottom wall of the shell 21 to improve the uniformity of thawing the thawed objects. Exemplarily, the bottom wall of the shell 21 is provided with a driving mechanism, and the tray can be coupled to the output end of the driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism drives the tray to rotate.

[0080] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the tray may be a hollow structure to facilitate uniform contact between the thawing airflow and the thawing objects, thereby achieving uniform thawing.

[0081] The front wall of the housing 21 is provided with a first avoidance groove 212 , the notch of the first avoidance groove 212 faces the thawing chamber 23 , and the first avoidance groove 212 is used to avoid the tray.

[0082] In this embodiment, the first avoidance groove 212 is used to avoid the tray. By specifically expanding the part of the shell 21, a larger tray can be used, thereby increasing the volume of the thawed material that can be thawed by the thawing device 2 and improving practicality.

[0083] Exemplarily, the first avoidance groove 212 may be a contoured groove. For example, the first avoidance groove 212 is a curved surface, and the curved surface structure may avoid the curved edge of the tray.

[0084] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the first avoidance groove 212 may be a rectangular groove, and the height of the rectangular groove is adapted to the height of the tray.

[0085] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the rear wall of the housing 21 is provided with a second avoidance groove 213, the notch of the second avoidance groove 213 faces the thawing chamber 23, and the second avoidance groove 213 is used to avoid the tray.

[0086] Exemplarily, the second avoidance groove 213 may be a contoured groove. For example, the second avoidance groove 213 is a curved surface, and the curved surface structure may avoid the curved edge of the tray.

[0087] Exemplarily, the second avoidance groove 213 may be a rectangular groove, and the height of the rectangular groove is adapted to the height of the tray.

[0088] Among them, the second avoidance groove 213 is used to avoid the tray. By further expanding the shell 21 in a targeted manner, a larger tray can be used, thereby increasing the volume of the thawed material that can be thawed by the thawing device 2 and improving practicality.

[0089] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the second avoidance groove 213 can be arranged opposite to the first avoidance groove 212 to avoid the tray in the front and rear directions. On the one hand, the tray can be installed in the middle of the bottom wall of the shell 21, which is conducive to the uniform thawing of the thawed material; on the other hand, by targeted expansion of part of the shell 21, a larger tray can be used, which increases the volume of the thawed material that the thawing device 2 can accommodate, thereby improving practicality.

[0090] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the thawing device 2 further includes: a thawing door body 22 , which is pivotally mounted on the open end of the shell 21 , and is used to close the thawing chamber 23 .

[0091] The thawing door 22 can be opened or closed relative to the housing 21 to close or open the thawing chamber 23 .

[0092] In some embodiments, the thawing door body 22 can be rotatably installed on the shell 21 along the rotating axis in the left-right direction, or the thawing door body 22 can be rotatably installed on the shell 21 along the rotating axis in the up-down direction, which can be determined according to the installation scenario of the thawing device 2.

[0093] Among them, the thawing door body 22 can be a left-opening door, a right-opening door, an upward-flipping door or a downward-flipping door, and can be specifically set according to the actual usage scenario.

[0094] Exemplarily, when the thawing device 2 is installed at a lower position, the thawing door 22 can be a left-opening door, a right-opening door, or an upward-opening door, so that the user can put in or take out the thawed objects from the thawing chamber 23.

[0095] Exemplarily, when the thawing device 2 is installed at a moderate position, the thawing door 22 can be any one of a left-opening door, a right-opening door, an upward-flipping door or a downward-flipping door, so that the user can put in or take out the thawed objects from the thawing chamber 23.

[0096] The storage device 1 of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below from three different implementation perspectives.

[0097] First, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the thawing device 2 is arranged at the rear side of the first part 1121 of the refrigeration door body 112, and the thawing door body 22 of the thawing device 2 can be pivotally arranged at the rear end of the thawing device 2.

[0098] In this embodiment, the door lining 1123 is provided with a groove, which forms a first part 1121. The notch of the groove faces the refrigerated compartment 111 to form the first part 1121 of the refrigerated door body 112. The bottom of the groove and the outer shell 21 of the refrigerated door body 112 can be spaced apart to be filled with foam material, or the foam material may not be filled to increase the depth of the groove, thereby providing a larger installation avoidance space for the thawing device 2.

[0099] In this embodiment, the front end of the shell 21 of the thawing device 2 is installed on the rear side of the first part 1121, the rear end or side wall of the shell 21 is open, and the thawing door 22 can be pivotally installed on the open end of the shell 21.

[0100] According to the storage device 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application, by thinning the refrigerated door body 112 and installing the thawing device 2 on the rear side of the thinner first part 1121, the thawing device 2 can use the thinned space of the first part 1121, so that without reducing the distance of the thawing device 2 along the front-to-back direction, the encroachment of the thawing device 2 on the refrigerated compartment 111 can be reduced, and the practicality of the thawing device 2 can be improved.

[0101] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the rear end of the shell 21 is open, and the thawing door 22 is pivotally mounted on the rear end of the shell 21 .

[0102] It is understandable that the rear end area of ​​the shell 21 is larger than the side wall area of ​​the shell 21. By setting the thawing door 22 at the rear end of the shell 21, it is convenient to expand the area of ​​the access port of the thawing device 2 and improve convenience.

[0103] In some embodiments, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a first avoidance groove 212 is provided at the front end of the shell 21 , and a second avoidance groove 213 is provided at the thawing door 22 . The notches of the first avoidance groove 212 and the second avoidance groove 213 face the thawing chamber 23 .

[0104] In this embodiment, the first part 1121 and the second part 1122 of the refrigeration door body 112 can be integrally formed, the front end of the shell 21 is connected to the rear end of the first part 1121, and the thawing door body 22 can be connected to the rear end of the shell 21 using a pivot structure.

[0105] In actual use, after the user opens the refrigeration door 112 , he / she opens the thawing door 22 of the thawing device 2 to take out the thawed objects or put them into the thawing compartment 23 .

[0106] Second, if Figure 8 As shown, the storage device 1 includes: a box body 11, a refrigerated door body 112 and a thawing device 2, the box body 11 defines a refrigerated compartment 111; the refrigerated door body 112 is pivotally mounted on the front side of the box body 11, the refrigerated door body 112 is used to close the refrigerated compartment 111, and the refrigerated door body 112 is provided with a transparent window 1125; the thawing device 2 is mounted on the refrigerated door body 112, and the front end of the thawing device 2 is open and directly opposite to the transparent window 1125.

[0107] The transparent window 1125 in this embodiment may be the first portion 1121 of the refrigeration door body 112. Exemplarily, the transparent window 1125 may be made of glass or acrylic material, and the transparent window 1125 is not filled with foam material.

[0108] Among them, the front end of the thawing device 2 is open, and the transparent window 1125 has a sealing effect on the front end of the thawing device 2. The transparent window 1125 is equivalent to the front end shell wall of the shell 21.

[0109] Exemplarily, the entire refrigeration door 112 may be a transparent window 1125 , or part of the refrigeration door 112 may be a transparent window 1125 , both of which enable the user to observe the thawing status of the thawed material in the thawing device 2 without opening the refrigeration door 112 .

[0110] According to the storage device 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application, by providing a transparent window 1125 on the refrigeration door body 112, and the front end of the thawing device 2 is open and directly opposite to the transparent window 1125, the user can directly see the interior of the thawing chamber 23 through the transparent window 1125, so that the user can see the thawing status of the food in the thawing chamber 23 without opening the refrigeration door body 112, thereby improving the convenience of user use; at the same time, the opening and closing frequency of the refrigeration door body 112 or the thawing door body 22 is reduced, which can reduce the release of cold air in the thawing chamber 23 and the refrigeration chamber 111, and reduce the energy consumption of the storage device 1.

[0111] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the refrigeration door body 112 is provided with an installation opening 1126 penetrating the refrigeration door body 112 along the thickness direction, the thawing device 2 is connected to the installation opening 1126 , and the transparent window 1125 is used to close the installation opening 1126 .

[0112] In this embodiment, the installation opening 1126 passes through the refrigeration door body 112 , and the refrigeration door body 112 is hollowed out at the installation opening 1126 to form an installation position for installing the transparent window 1125 .

[0113] The transparent window 1125 may be connected to the mounting opening 1126 by snapping, gluing or threading.

[0114] In some embodiments, a seal may be provided between the installation opening 1126 and the transparent window 1125 to reduce leakage of cold air in the refrigerating compartment 111 from the connection gap between the installation opening 1126 and the transparent window 1125 .

[0115] Among them, the front end of the thawing device 2 is connected to the installation port 1126, and the front end of the thawing device 2 can be connected to the refrigeration door body 112 by threaded connection, snap connection or integral molding, so as to be connected to the installation port 1126.

[0116] In some embodiments, the thickness of the transparent window 1125 is less than the thickness of the refrigeration door 112 .

[0117] The thickness of the transparent window 1125 is smaller than the thickness of other areas of the refrigeration door body 112 except the transparent window 1125 .

[0118] Among them, the front surface of the transparent window 1125 is flush with or protrudes from the front surface of the refrigerated door body 112, and the rear surface of the transparent window 1125 is thinner than the refrigerated door body 112 in the front-to-back direction, so that the transparent window 1125 forms a groove at the installation port 1126, which is equivalent to thinning the refrigerated door body 112. The thawing device 2 is docked with the installation port 1126, and the thawing device 2 can utilize the thinned space at the transparent window 1125, so that the thawing device 2 can reduce the encroachment of the refrigerated chamber 111 without reducing the thickness of the thawing device 2 in the front-to-back direction, and increase the volume of the thawing chamber 23, thereby improving the practicability of the thawing device 2 and reducing the impact on the opening and closing of the refrigerated door body 112.

[0119] In some embodiments, the transparent window 1125 includes multiple transparent plates spaced apart in the front-to-back direction, and the space between two adjacent transparent plates is vacuum or filled with colloid.

[0120] In this embodiment, the transparent plate can be at least one of a glass plate and an acrylic plate. By setting a vacuum or filling it with a colloid between the multiple layers of transparent plates, the thermal insulation effect of the transparent plate can be improved, and the thermal insulation effect of the thawing device 2 can be improved.

[0121] In some embodiments, the transparent window 1125 forms the front wall of the shell 21 of the thawing device 2 , the transparent window 1125 is provided with a first avoidance groove 212 , and the rear wall of the shell 21 is provided with a second avoidance groove 213 .

[0122] In this embodiment, the volume of the thawing chamber 23 can be increased by specifically expanding a portion of the shell 21, and a larger tray can be used to increase the volume of thawed objects that the thawing device 2 can accommodate, thereby improving practicality.

[0123] The thawing chamber 23 of the thawing device 2 can be opened in at least two ways:

[0124] First, the rear end of the housing 21 of the thawing device 2 is open, and the thawing door 22 of the thawing device 2 is pivotally mounted on the rear side of the housing 21 .

[0125] In this embodiment, the transparent window 1125 of the refrigerated door body 112 can be connected to the refrigerated door body 112 , the front end of the shell 21 is connected to the rear end of the refrigerated door body 112 , and the front end of the shell 21 is opened and arranged opposite to the transparent window 1125 .

[0126] In actual use, after the user observes the change in the state of the thawed object through the transparent window 1125 , he first opens the refrigeration door 112 and then opens the thawing door 22 of the thawing device 2 to take out the thawed object or put it into the thawing compartment 23 .

[0127] Second, the transparent window 1125 can be pivotally mounted on the mounting opening 1126 of the refrigerating door body 112. The transparent window 1125 can be opened or closed relative to the refrigerating door body 112. The mounting opening 1126 of the refrigerating door body 112 connects the thawing chamber 23 and the outside. The user can take out or put the thawed items into the thawing chamber 23 by opening the transparent window 1125.

[0128] In actual use, the user can observe the thawing state of the thawed material in the thawing chamber 23 through the transparent window 1125. If the thawing is completed, the transparent window 1125 can be directly opened to take out the thawed material; or the user can directly open the transparent window 1125 to put the thawed material into the thawing chamber 23.

[0129] In this embodiment, by providing a transparent window 1125 that can be opened or closed relative to the refrigeration door body 112, the interior of the thawing chamber 23 can be seen through the transparent window 1125, thereby improving user convenience; the opening and closing frequency of the refrigeration door body 112 is reduced, which can reduce the release of cold air in the refrigeration chamber 111 and reduce the energy consumption of the storage device 1.

[0130] Third, if Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the storage device 1 includes: a box body 11, a refrigerated door body 112, a thawing device 2 and a thawing door body 22; the box body 11 defines a refrigerated compartment 111; the refrigerated door body 112 is pivotally mounted on the front side of the box body 11, and the refrigerated door body 112 is used to close the refrigerated compartment 111; wherein, the refrigerated door body 112 is provided with an installation opening 1126 which passes through the refrigerated door body 112 along the thickness direction; the thawing device 2 is mounted on the refrigerated door body 112, and the front end of the thawing device 2 is open and docked with the installation opening 1126; the thawing door body 22 is mounted on the refrigerated door body 112, and the thawing door body 22 is used to close the installation opening 1126.

[0131] In this embodiment, the installation opening 1126 passes through the refrigeration door body 112, and the refrigeration door body 112 is hollowed out at the installation opening 1126 to form an installation position for installing the thawing door body 22. The thawing door body 22 forms the front end of the shell 21 of the thawing device 2, and the rear end of the shell 21 of the thawing device 2 can be closed.

[0132] Among them, the front end of the thawing device 2 is connected to the installation port 1126, and the front end of the thawing device 2 can be connected to the refrigeration door body 112 by threaded connection, snap connection or integral molding, so as to be connected to the installation port 1126.

[0133] In this embodiment, the installation opening 1126 is a through structure, and the installation opening 1126 passes through the refrigeration door body 112; the thawing door body 22 can be pivotally installed on the refrigeration door body 112, and the thawing door body 22 can be opened or closed relative to the refrigeration door body 112 to open or close the installation opening 1126, thereby opening or closing the thawing chamber 23 of the thawing device 2.

[0134] In actual use, the user can directly open the thawing door 22 to take out or put in the thawed items without opening the refrigeration door 112 and then operating the thawing device 2.

[0135] According to the storage device 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the front end of the thawing device 2 is opened and docked with the installation port 1126 on the refrigerating door body 112, and the thawing door body 22 is installed on the refrigerating door body 112 and can be opened or closed relative to the refrigerating door body 112 to seal the thawing chamber 23. The user can take out or put the thawed material into the thawing chamber 23 by opening or closing the thawing door body 22 without opening the refrigerating door body 112, thereby improving the convenience of user use; at the same time, the opening and closing frequency of the refrigerating door body 112 is reduced, which can reduce the release of cold air in the refrigerating chamber 111 and reduce the energy consumption of the storage device 1.

[0136] In some embodiments, Fig.10 As shown, the lower end of the thawing door body 22 is pivotally connected to the refrigerating door body 112 .

[0137] For example, Fig.10 As shown, the thawing door body 22 is a downward-flipping door. When the thawing door body 22 is opened, the outer surface of the thawing door body 22 can face the outer surface of the refrigeration door body 112, that is, when the thawing door body 22 is fully opened, the protruding height of the thawing door body 22 relative to the refrigeration door body 112 can be reduced, thereby reducing the impact on the passability when the thawing door body 22 is opened.

[0138] Exemplarily, when the thawing door 22 is opened, the outer surface of the thawing door 22 can be at 90° with the outer surface of the refrigeration door 112, so that the thawing door 22 is horizontal when fully opened. The opened thawing door 22 can be used to place items to realize a bar counter, thereby improving convenience of use.

[0139] In some embodiments, the rotation angle β between the lower end of the thawing door body 22 and the refrigeration door body 112 satisfies: 60°≤β≤130°. For example, β can be 60°, 90°, 115° or 130°, so as to reduce the risk of damage to components of the thawing door body 22 due to inertia when the thawing door body 22 and the refrigeration door body 112 move at the same time.

[0140] In some embodiments, the thickness of the thawing door body 22 is smaller than the thickness of the refrigerating door body 112 .

[0141] The front surface of the thawing door body 22 is flush with or protrudes from the front surface of the refrigerating door body 112 , and the rear surface of the thawing door body 22 is thinner than the refrigerating door body 112 along the front-to-back direction, so that the thawing door body 22 forms a groove at the installation opening 1126 .

[0142] In this embodiment, the thickness of the thawing door body 22 is less than the thickness of the refrigerating door body 112, which is equivalent to thinning a part of the refrigerating door body 112. The thawing device 2 is docked with the mounting port 1126. The thawing device 2 can utilize the thinned space at the thawing door body 22, thereby reducing the encroachment of the thawing device 2 on the refrigerating chamber 111 without reducing the thickness of the thawing device 2 along the front-to-back direction, and increasing the volume of the thawing chamber 23, thereby improving the practicality of the thawing device 2.

[0143] The thawing door 22 forms the front wall of the shell 21 , the thawing door 22 is provided with a first avoidance groove 212 , and the rear end of the shell 21 is provided with a second avoidance groove 213 .

[0144] In this embodiment, the volume of the thawing chamber 23 can be increased by specifically expanding a portion of the shell 21, and a larger tray can be used to increase the volume of thawed objects that the thawing device 2 can accommodate, thereby improving practicality.

[0145] Among them, the second avoidance groove 213 located on the rear wall of the shell 21 and the first avoidance groove 212 at the front end of the shell 21 can be arranged relative to each other, so as to further increase the volume of the thawing chamber 23 by targeted expansion of a part of the shell 21, and a larger tray can be used to increase the volume of the thawed material that the thawing device 2 can accommodate, thereby improving practicality.
