[0002] As a container that can keep food in a constant low-temperature cold state, the refrigerator has become one of the indispensable household appliances in modern families. In order to facilitate the storage and retrieval of food, refrigerators widely adopt the solution of setting up multiple independent drawers to store food. For different drawers, it is necessary to use temperature sensors to monitor their temperature fluctuations in real time to ensure the quality of the food in the drawer. In the related art, the installation structure of the temperature sensor and the wall of the drawer is unreasonable, which leads to poor contact or interference between the temperature sensor and the temperature conduction plate during assembly, affecting the detection accuracy of the temperature sensor.

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0028] Please refer to the following Figures 1 to 5 The drawer and the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the utility model are described.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the drawer of the embodiment of the utility model includes: a drawer body 1 and a temperature sensor (not shown), the drawer body 1 includes a bottom plate 12 and a side plate 14 arranged around the bottom plate 12, the bottom plate 12 and the side plate 14 enclose a storage space 11, and an elastic plate 13 is arranged on at least one of the bottom plate 12 and the side plate 14, the elastic plate 13 can be elastically deformed along the thickness direction of the bottom plate 12 and / or the side plate 14, and the temperature sensor is arranged on the side of the elastic plate 13 facing the storage space 11.

[0030] It is understandable that the elastic plate 13 can be provided on the bottom plate 12 alone, or can be provided on the side plate 14 alone. Alternatively, the bottom plate 12 and the side plate 14 are both provided with the elastic plate 13 .

[0031] According to the drawer of the embodiment of the utility model, since the elastic plate 13 can be elastically deformed along the thickness direction of the bottom plate 12 and / or the side plate 14, when interference occurs during the assembly of the temperature conduction disk 2 and the temperature sensor, the elastic plate 13 can be elastically deformed to absorb the installation tolerance of the temperature conduction disk 2 and the temperature sensor, and avoid the problem of the temperature conduction disk 2 being lifted up due to the hard contact between the temperature conduction disk 2 and the temperature sensor. On the other hand, when the elastic plate 13 is elastically deformed, the elastic plate 13 can provide the temperature sensor with an elastic force to press against the temperature conduction disk 2, thereby improving the reliability of the contact between the temperature sensor and the temperature conduction disk 2 and improving the detection accuracy of the temperature sensor.

[0032] Specifically, the drawer further includes a temperature conduction plate 2, which is disposed in the storage space 11 and covered on the bottom plate 12 and / or the side plate 14, and the temperature sensor abuts against the temperature conduction plate 2. Since the temperature sensor is disposed on one side of the elastic plate 13 adjacent to the temperature conduction plate 2 and abuts against the temperature conduction plate 2, the drawer can transfer the temperature in the storage space 11 to the temperature sensor through the temperature conduction plate 2 to improve the detection accuracy of the drawer. The temperature conduction plate 2 can be a metal plate or other plate with good thermal conductivity.

[0033] For example, when the elastic plate 13 is mounted on the bottom plate 12 , the temperature conducting plate 2 is covered on the bottom plate 12 . For another example, when the elastic plate 13 is mounted on the side plate 14 , the temperature conducting plate 2 is covered on the side plate 14 .

[0034] In one example, an elastic plate 13 is disposed on the bottom plate 12. The elastic plate 13 and the bottom plate 12 may be of split design, that is, the elastic plate 13 and the bottom plate 12 may be manufactured separately and then assembled together. Alternatively, the elastic plate 13 and the bottom plate 12 may be of integrated design.

[0035] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, at least a portion of the outer edge of the elastic plate 13 is spaced apart from the bottom plate 12 to define a clearance groove 123, and the two ends of the clearance groove 123 along its extension direction are spaced apart by a preset distance. It can be understood that when the elastic plate 13 is not subjected to force, the elastic plate 13 and the bottom plate 12 are substantially located in the same plane. Since the outer edge of the elastic plate 13 is spaced apart from the bottom plate 12 to define the clearance groove 123, the elastic plate 13 can be easily elastically deformed along the thickness direction of the bottom plate 12.

[0036] It should be noted that the two ends of the clearance groove 123 along the extension direction thereof are separated by a preset distance, that is, the clearance groove 123 is not a closed annular structure, so as to facilitate the fixed connection between the elastic plate 13 and the bottom plate 12 .

[0037] For example, the extension path of the clearance groove 123 is n-shaped, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the elastic plate 13 and the bottom plate 12 and facilitating the elastic deformation of the elastic plate 13 .

[0038] Alternatively, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, there are at least two elastic plates 13, which are arranged at intervals on the bottom plate 12, and there are at least two temperature sensors which are installed one-to-one on the elastic plates 13. It can be understood that there can be two or more elastic plates 13, and the number of elastic plates 13 corresponds to the number of temperature sensors.

[0039] In the example of the present application, there are two elastic plates 13 and two temperature sensors, and the two elastic plates 13 correspond to the two temperature sensors. The storage box of the embodiment of the utility model can detect the temperature of different positions of the drawer by setting two temperature sensors, so as to further improve the accuracy of the data detected by the temperature sensor.

[0040] For example, the temperature sensor is arranged near the middle of the bottom plate 12, thereby making the data detected by the temperature sensor more accurate.

[0041] Optionally, the temperature sensor is detachably connected to the elastic plate 13. For example, the temperature sensor and the elastic plate 13 can be fixed by means of a snap connection, a plug connection, or a screw connection. Thus, when the temperature sensor fails, the user can easily remove the temperature sensor from the elastic plate 13, which is convenient for subsequent disassembly and maintenance of the drawer.

[0042] In one example, if Figures 2 to 4As shown, the bottom plate 12 further includes a card block 124, which is mounted on the elastic plate 13. A card slot 1241 is provided on one side of the card block 124 adjacent to the temperature conduction plate 2 (i.e., the side of the card block 124 facing the storage space 11), and the temperature sensor is carded in the card slot 1241. For example, the card block 124 and the elastic plate 13 are processed and formed by one-time injection molding. The temperature sensor is connected to the card block 124 by a card connection, which makes it easy for operators to install and disassemble the temperature sensor, and the above-mentioned disassembly process is relatively simple and easy to operate.

[0043] Optionally, the bottom plate 12 is provided with a threading hole 125, and the temperature sensor has a wire, and the wire is passed through the threading hole 125. It can be understood that the wire can extend out of the drawer through the threading hole 125 to facilitate the routing and organization of the wire.

[0044] For example, the threading hole 125 is arranged at the connection position between the bottom plate 12 and the elastic plate 13 , thereby reducing the connection length between the bottom plate 12 and the elastic plate 13 to improve the elastic deformation capability of the elastic plate 13 .

[0045] Alternatively, if Figure 5 As shown, a wiring groove 126 is provided on the side of the bottom plate 12 facing away from the temperature conduction plate 2, and the wire is clamped in the wiring groove 126. For example, the extension direction of the wiring groove 126 is substantially consistent with the extension direction of the clamping block 124. The wire can be elastically clamped in the wiring groove 126 by means of interference fit. The wiring groove 126 can arrange the wires to reduce the probability of the wires being damaged due to collision or friction.

[0046] For example, Figure 5 As shown, a wiring ring 127 is provided on the bottom plate 12, and the wire is passed through the wiring ring 127. The wiring ring 127 is provided on the side of the wiring groove 126 away from the block 124, thereby preventing the wire from falling down or hanging in the air when the wire is separated from the wiring groove 126, thereby improving the fixing effect of the wire.

[0047] A refrigerator according to an embodiment of the utility model comprises a refrigerator body and a drawer. A refrigeration compartment is constructed in the refrigerator body. The drawer is the drawer of the utility model and is drawable and arranged in the refrigeration compartment.

[0048] According to the refrigerator of the embodiment of the utility model, since the elastic plate 13 can be elastically deformed along the thickness direction of the bottom plate 12 and / or the side plate 14, when interference occurs during the assembly of the temperature conduction plate 2 and the temperature sensor, the elastic plate 13 can be elastically deformed to absorb the installation tolerance of the temperature conduction plate 2 and the temperature sensor, and avoid the problem of the temperature conduction plate 2 being lifted up due to the hard contact between the temperature conduction plate 2 and the temperature sensor. On the other hand, when the elastic plate 13 is elastically deformed, the elastic plate 13 can provide the temperature sensor with an elastic force to press against the temperature conduction plate 2, thereby improving the reliability of the contact between the temperature sensor and the temperature conduction plate 2 and improving the detection accuracy of the temperature sensor.
