[0028] Unless otherwise specified, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by "longitudinal", "upper", "lower", "front" and "rear" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.

[0029] The present application provides a refrigeration device, which includes a drawer assembly 1. The drawer assembly 1 is arranged in the refrigeration device. The drawer assembly 1 includes a drawer 11, a tray 12 and a stopper 13. When the door of the refrigeration device is opened, the drawer 11 can be pulled out from the refrigeration device. It should be noted that the refrigeration device can be a refrigerator, a freezer or other devices, and the above are not restrictive. For the convenience of description, the refrigeration device is taken as an example of a refrigerator. At this time, the drawer assembly 1 is arranged in the refrigerator.

[0030] It should be noted that Figures 1 to 8 a refrigerator is not shown in Figure 1 . The x - direction shown in is the longitudinal extension direction of the first side wall 111, which is also the longitudinal extension direction of the tray 12 and at the same time the extension direction of the stopper 13. It should also be noted that, for the convenience of describing the pulling process of the drawer 11, when the drawer 11 is pushed into the refrigerator, the end of the drawer 11 close to the opening end of the refrigerator is called the first end 11b of the drawer 11, and the end of the drawer 11 far from the opening end of the refrigerator is called the second end 11c of the drawer 11. At this time, the first end 11b and the second end 11c of the drawer 11 are as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 .

[0031] The stoppers 13 of the drawer assembly 1 of the present application are arranged on both sides of the drawer assembly 1. For the convenience of seeing the positional relationship between the tray 12 and the drawer 11, Figures 1 to 6 only one - side stopper 13 is shown in . In addition, the following first pulley 121 and second pulley 122 are both symmetrically arranged on both sides of the tray 12, and only one - side first pulley 121 and second pulley 122 are marked in some illustrations.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 , the present application provides a drawer assembly 1. The drawer assembly 1 is movably arranged in the refrigerator. The drawer assembly 1 includes a drawer 11, a tray 12 and a stopper 13. The drawer 11 includes a first side wall 111 extending along the longitudinal direction of the drawer 11. The tray 12 is slidably arranged along the longitudinal direction on the first side wall 111. The stopper 13 is arranged close to the first side wall 111. A limiting portion 131 is arranged at one end of the stopper 13 far from the first side wall 111. The longitudinally extending edge 123 of the tray 12 is located between the limiting portion 131 and the first side wall 111. When the drawer assembly 1 is arranged in the refrigerator and the refrigerator is transported, the refrigerator may shake during transportation. Limiting the tray 12 between the drawer 11 and the limiting portion 131 can reduce the shaking amplitude of the tray 12, thereby avoiding the situation that the space for the tray 12 to shake up and down is too large, resulting in the tray 12 colliding with the drawer 11 or the stopper 13 and generating cracks.

[0033] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , a plurality of limiting portions 131 are arranged on the limiting portion 131. The plurality of limiting portions 131 are arranged along the longitudinal extension direction of the tray 12. Among them, the extension direction of the stopper 13 is the same as the longitudinal extension direction of the tray 12. Figure 1Two limiting parts 131 are shown, and only one of the limiting parts 131 is labeled. When the tray 12 shakes up and down, the multiple limiting parts 131 can stop different positions of the tray 12, reducing the force generated when a single limiting part 131 collides with the tray 12, thereby further reducing the possibility that the tray 12 cracks after colliding with the limiting part 131 or the drawer 11 due to too large a shaking amplitude.

[0034] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a plurality of ventilation holes 112 are provided on one surface of the drawer 11 near the open end close to the refrigeration device (i.e., the first end 11b of the drawer 11). The ventilation holes 112 can communicate the interior of the drawer 11 with the interior space of the refrigerator where the drawer 11 is located, thereby ensuring that the items in the drawer 11 can be sufficiently refrigerated.

[0035] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, a first pulley 121 and a second pulley 122 are provided on the tray 12 along the longitudinally extending direction. The first pulley 121 is slidably disposed on the first sidewall 111, and the second pulley 122 is slidably disposed on the stopper 13. When the tray 12 moves, the two pulleys on each side of the tray 12, namely the first pulley 121 and the second pulley 122, slide simultaneously to ensure the stability of the movement of the tray 12.

[0036] In one embodiment, in order to clearly see the relationship between the first pulley 121, the second pulley 122 and the stop plate and the drawer 11, only Figure 3 shows the first pulley 121 and the second pulley 122 of the tray 12, and other components of the tray 12 are not shown. As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 shown, the first sidewall 111 is provided with a first slideway 1111 for supporting the first pulley 121, and the stopper 13 is provided with a second slideway 132 for supporting the second pulley 122 (as Figure 7 shown), and the second slideway 132 is located between the first slideway 1111 and the limiting part 131. When the tray 12 shakes up and down, the longitudinally extending edge 123 of the tray 12 can be restricted by the limiting part 131 and the drawer 11 so that it cannot move up and down significantly. Since the first pulley 121 of the tray 12 is located between the first slideway 1111 and the second slideway 132, therefore, the first pulley 121 can also be restricted by the first slideway 1111 and the second slideway 132 and cannot shake up and down significantly. In addition, since the first pulley 121 and the second pulley 122 move in different planes, the first pulley 121 and the second pulley 122 can be selected with different sizes according to needs, so as to ensure the smooth movement of the tray 12.

[0037] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 、Figure 6 As shown, first limit members 1112 are provided at both ends of the first slideway 1111 for stopping the first pulley 121 to prevent the first pulley 121 from sliding out of the first slideway 1111. Second limit members 133 are provided at both ends of the second slideway 132 for stopping the second pulley 122 to prevent the second pulley 122 from sliding out of the second slideway 132. The arrangements of the first limit members 1112 and the second limit members 133 can limit the first pulley 121 and the second pulley 122, thereby preventing the first pulley 121 from sliding out of the first slideway 1111 and preventing the second pulley 122 from sliding out of the second slideway 132, so as to ensure that the tray 12 slides on the drawer 11 without detaching from the drawer 11.

[0038] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 、 Figure 6 shown, at least one end of the first slideway 1111 is provided with a first groove 1113. Taking the example that the first groove 1113 is provided at a position on the first slideway 1111 close to the first end 11b of the drawer 11, at this time, when the first pulley 121 slides into the first groove 1113, it can be stopped by the first limit member 1112 to prevent the first pulley 121 from continuing to move and detaching from the drawer 11. When the first pulley 121 moves to the first groove 1113, the tray 12 completely covers the open end 11a of the drawer 11, so that the drawer 11 and the tray 12 are in a state of being stacked up and down. When the drawer 11 is pulled to move back and forth, due to the limitation of the first groove 1113 and the first limit member 1112 on the first pulley 121, it can be ensured that the tray 12 and the drawer 11 move synchronously. When it is necessary to control the movement of the tray 12 relative to the drawer 11, a greater force is required to make the first pulley 121 disengage from the first groove 1113.

[0039] At least one end of the second slideway 132 is provided with a second groove 135. Taking the example that the second groove 135 is provided at a position on the second slideway 132 close to the first end 11b of the drawer 11, after the second pulley 122 slides into the second groove 135, it can be stopped by the second limit member 133. After the movement of the drawer 11 is controlled in place, the arrangement of the second groove 135 can ensure that the tray 12 and the stopper 13 remain relatively stationary without the problem of free sliding.

[0040] It should be noted that the first groove 1113 and the second groove 135 can be provided at any one end or both ends of the first slideway 1111 and the second slideway 132. The above is not restrictive and can be set according to the needs of those skilled in the art. All of the above are within the protection scope of this application.

[0041] In one embodiment, when the stopper 13 is fixedly disposed in the refrigerator, since the second slideway 132 is provided on the stopper 13, the second slideway 132 on the stopper 13 is also fixed in the refrigerator. Therefore, the fixed second slideway 132 can limit the movement range of the tray 12 to ensure that the tray 12 moves within the length range of the second slideway 132.

[0042] In one embodiment, for convenience of description, one end of the first slideway 1111 close to the first end 11b of the drawer 11 is referred to as the first end 1111a of the first slideway 1111, and one end of the first slideway 1111 away from the first end 11b of the drawer 11 is referred to as the second end 1111b of the first slideway 1111. When the stopper 13 is fixedly disposed in the refrigerator, one end of the second slideway 132 close to the opening end of the refrigerator is referred to as the first end 132a of the second slideway 132, and one end of the second slideway 132 away from the opening end of the refrigerator is referred to as the second end 132b of the second slideway 132. In the state where the drawer 11 is in the refrigerator and the tray 12 covers the opening end 11a of the drawer 11, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, the first pulley 121 is located at one end of the tray 12 close to the first end 11b of the drawer 11 and at the first end 1111a of the first slideway 1111, and the second pulley 122 is located at one end of the tray 12 close to the second end 11c of the drawer 11 and at the second end 132b of the second slideway 132.

[0043] Since the stopper 13 is fixedly arranged inside the refrigerator, the second slideway 132 is fixed inside the refrigerator. To ensure that the tray 12 can slide on the second slideway 132 and slide out of the refrigerator, when the tray 12 and the drawer 11 are both inside the refrigerator, the second pulley 122 is located at the second end 132b of the second slideway 132. When the tray 12 is pulled out of the refrigerator along with the drawer 11, the second pulley 122 moves from the second end 132b of the second slideway 132 towards the first end 132a of the second slideway 132. The second pulley 122 stops moving when it reaches the first end 132a of the second slideway 132 and is blocked by the second limiting member 133. At this time, the drawer 11 and the tray 12 are both located outside the refrigerator. When it is necessary to expose the open end 11a of the drawer 11, relative movement between the tray 12 and the drawer 11 needs to be controlled. Since the first pulley 121 of the tray 12 is located at the first end 1111a of the first slideway 1111 and the second pulley 122 is located at the first end 132a of the second slideway 132, the first pulley 121 can only move towards the second end 1111b of the first slideway 1111, and the second pulley 122 can only move towards the second end 132b of the second slideway 132. Therefore, the tray 12 can only move from the first end 11b of the drawer 11 towards the second end 11c of the drawer 11. When the second pulley 122 is limited by the second limiting member 133 at the second end 132b of the second slideway 132 and the first pulley 121 is limited by the first limiting member 1112 at the first end 1111a of the first slideway 1111, the tray 12 stops moving. At this time, the open end 11a of the drawer 11 is completely opened. Through the above arrangement, the drawer 11 and the tray 12 can be taken out of the refrigerator, and by controlling the movement of the tray 12, it is convenient to take items in and out of the drawer 11 or place items on the tray 12. Stacking the drawer 11 and the tray 12 can improve the space utilization rate inside the refrigerator. By arranging the first pulley 121 and the second pulley 122 at both longitudinally extending ends of the tray 12, the open end 11a of the drawer 11 can be completely opened or completely closed according to needs, making it more convenient to take items in and out of the drawer 11.

[0044] It should be noted that the stopper 13 can be a structure fixed inside the refrigerator. Of course, it can also be a structure fixedly arranged on the drawer 11. At this time, when the tray 12 and the drawer 11 are stacked and arranged inside the refrigerator, the first pulley 121 is arranged near the first end 11b of the drawer 11, and the second pulley 122 is arranged between the first end 11b and the second end 11c of the drawer 11. Since the stopper 13 is relatively fixed to the drawer 11, the second pulley 122 is also located in the middle part of the second slideway 132. When the drawer assembly 1 is pulled out from the refrigerator, since the first pulley 121 is limited by the first limiting member 1112 near the first end 11b of the drawer 11, the tray 12 and the drawer 11 will not move relative to each other. When it is necessary to take or place items in the drawer 11, the opening end 11a of the drawer 11 needs to be exposed. Therefore, it is necessary to push the tray 12 to move, so that the first pulley 121 of the tray 12 moves towards the second end 1111b of the first slideway 1111, and the second pulley 122 moves towards the second end 132b of the second slideway 132. When the second pulley 122 slides from the middle part of the second slideway 132 to one end of the second slideway 132, the tray 12 stops moving, and the opening end 11a of the drawer 11 is exposed, and items can be placed in the drawer 11 or taken out from the drawer 11. The positions of the first pulley 121 and the second pulley 122 on the tray 12 are not restrictive and can be set according to the needs of those skilled in the art. All of the above are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0045] In one embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, the stopper 13 is provided with reinforcing ribs 134 that cross horizontally and vertically. The reinforcing ribs 134 can enhance the strength of the stopper 13, thereby enhancing the support of the stopper 13 for the second pulley 122 and the tray 12. In addition, it can also prevent the force from being conducted to other parts of the stopper 13 by the limiting portion 131 after the tray 12 collides with the limiting portion 131, resulting in the rupture of the stopper 13.

[0046] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
