[0002] In order to increase the classified storage function of the horizontal freezer and facilitate the use of users, at present, the freezer is equipped with at least one storage basket. The basket is provided with handles on both sides for fixing with the cabinet opening. The handles are overlapped on the front and rear sides of the cabinet opening. In order to prevent the basket from falling off, a buckle structure is added at the cabinet opening to fix its placement; the buckle and the cabinet opening in the traditional freezer are designed by an integrated molding method, and the buckle and the cabinet opening are an integrated structure, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the buckle can fix the basket frame in the front and rear directions. This molding method is simple and convenient, which is conducive to simplifying the production process and effectively preventing the basket from sliding arbitrarily. However, since the position of the buckle is immovable, when the user needs to change the placement of the basket, the basket must be taken out as a whole and then its placement must be changed. The moving process requires a lot of physical strength, which greatly reduces the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0025] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The positions involved in this specification are based on the positions of the telescopic basket fixing device and the refrigerator of the utility model during normal operation, and do not limit the positions during storage and transportation. They only represent relative position relationships, not absolute position relationships.

[0027] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown together, a telescopic basket fixing device comprises a mounting groove 1, in which a buckle 2 is movably installed, the buckle 2 is a flat approximately semicircular structure, the buckle 2 is hollow in design, and the lower part of the buckle 2 is provided with an opening; an elastic member 3 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 1, and the other end of the elastic member 3 is connected to the bottom of the buckle 2; the elastic member 3 is a spring, or other elastic member with telescopic function, such as a rubber strip, etc.; the elastic member 3 is telescopic to drive the buckle 2 to move up and down in the mounting groove 1, when the elastic member 3 is in a compressed state, the buckle 2 is located in the mounting groove 1, and the upper plane of the buckle 2 is flush with the upper plane of the mounting groove 1, so that the basket 11 can be moved conveniently, and when the elastic member 3 is in an extended state, the upper end of the buckle 2 extends out of the mounting groove 1 to fix the basket 11.

[0028] The left and right sides of the buckle 2 are provided with outwardly protruding clamping heads 4. In the process of the elastic member 3 extending and retracting to drive the buckle 2 to move up and down along the mounting groove 1, the clamping head 4 moves in the sliding groove 5, guiding the buckle 2 so that the buckle 2 moves in the vertical direction without deviation; on the inner side walls on the left and right sides of the mounting groove 1, corresponding positions of the clamping heads 4 are provided with sliding grooves 5 for the buckle 2 to slide up and down, the starting position of the sliding groove 5 is located at the bottom wall of the mounting groove 1, and the end position is located at the upper part of the mounting groove 1, but it does not penetrate the side wall of the mounting groove 1, leaving a height difference between the top of the sliding groove 5 and the top surface of the mounting groove 1, thereby forming a limited position structure, when the clamping head 4 slides to the top of the sliding groove 5, it overlaps with the sliding groove 5, limits the elongation length of the elastic member 3, and prevents the buckle 2 from popping out of the mounting groove 1.

[0029] The elastic member 3 is a long hollow structure. The bottom of the buckle 2 is located at the center of the elastic member 3. A guide shaft 6 extending into the elastic member 3 is also provided. The guide shaft 6 guides the elastic member 3 to prevent it from being offset during the extension and retraction process. A limiting shaft 7 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 1. The limiting shaft 7 is located at the center position of the mounting groove 1, and the elastic member 3 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting shaft 7. An annular limiting groove 8 is provided on the outer side of the limiting shaft 7, and an annular space for installing the elastic member 3 is formed between the limiting groove 8 and the limiting shaft 7. The lower end of the elastic member 3 is limited between the outer annular surface of the guide shaft 6 and the inner annular surface of the limiting shaft 7, thereby limiting the position and action direction of the elastic member 3.

[0030] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a refrigerator is provided with a telescopic basket 1 fixing device as described above at the cabinet opening 10 of the refrigerator 9, the telescopic basket fixing device is symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the cabinet opening 10 of the refrigerator 9, the mounting groove 1 is sunken into the cabinet opening 10, the upper plane of the mounting groove 1 is flush with the upper plane of the cabinet opening 10, and the mounting groove 1 and the cabinet opening 10 are of an integral molding design; the telescopic basket fixing devices are arranged in pairs, and the distance between the outer contours of the two paired telescopic basket fixing devices is adapted to the width of the basket 11 in the left and right directions; the front and rear ends of the basket 11 are provided with connecting handles 12, and the connecting handles 12 are clamped on the outer sides of the pairs of buckles 2, so as to fix the basket 11.

[0031] When the basket 11 needs to be moved, the buckle 2 is pressed with external force to compress the elastic member 3, and the buckle 2 retracts into the installation slot 1. The upper plane of the buckle 2 remains flush with the cabinet opening 10, and the buckle 2 no longer fixes the basket 11, and the basket 11 can be moved left or right to a suitable position; after the external force on the buckle 2 is removed, the buckle 2 rebounds under the action of the elastic member 3 and extends out of the installation slot 1, fixing the basket 11, and the basket 11 can no longer be moved.

[0032] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention should also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
