Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field related to household electrical appliance equipment, and particularly relates to a drawer assembly and a refrigerator. Background Art
[0002] To meet the daily use of users, when designing the current refrigerator drawer, the main focus is on the effective usable volume of the drawer, and the focus on the flexible variability of the internal space of the drawer is slightly weak. With the variability of users' usage scenarios, users have more demands for the space transformation of the drawer. How to use the effective usable volume of the drawer to complete the placement and regular storage of items inside the refrigerator has become another major pain point that users are concerned about.
[0003] Currently, to meet the space layout requirements of the refrigerator drawer for users and achieve the variable requirements of the drawer space, there are mainly the following design schemes: The first design scheme: using a single partition to directly separate the drawer, and the partition is fixed, so that the drawer is divided into two parts in the left-right direction; The second design scheme: using a single partition to directly separate the drawer, and the partition can move freely to achieve variable space in the left-right direction of the drawer; The third design scheme: using a link structure, through the displacement change of the link structure, to achieve variable space. However, for the first design scheme above, the internal space of the drawer is re-layout, and the flexible variability of the internal space cannot be achieved; although the second design scheme can achieve the flexible variability of the drawer space in the left-right direction, usually the sliding partition slides directly at a specified position in the drawer, and the smoothness is insufficient; although the third design scheme can effectively complete the flexible variability of the internal space of the drawer, using a link to achieve the change of space, the items placed by users inside the drawer will still affect each other in the separated space, and the effect of regular storage of the user's use space cannot be achieved.

[0042] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the description of the present utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0043] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, the drawer assembly 100 provided by the present application includes a drawer body 10 and a partition 20. The drawer body 10 has a receiving space 101 for receiving articles (not shown in the figure). A sliding groove 111 is formed in the drawer body 10. The partition 20 is disposed in the receiving space 101 and is used to partition the receiving space 101 into a plurality of storage spaces 1011. A roller 21 is rotatably connected to the partition 20. The roller 21 is disposed in the sliding groove 111 and abuts against the groove bottom 1111 of the sliding groove 111. Moreover, the partition 20 can be adjusted in position within the receiving space 101 through the roller 21 to adjust the capacities of the two storage spaces 1011 on both sides of the partition 20. In this way, the volume adjustment between the multiple storage spaces 1011 inside the drawer body 10 can be realized to meet the use requirements of storing articles in different storage spaces 1011. And during the adjustment process, the adjustment is smooth, which has the effect of improving the user operation experience and better meeting the user's need for regular storage.
[0044] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the drawer body 10 includes a drawer main body 11 and a drawer cover 12, wherein the drawer main body 11 is formed with an accommodating space 101 inwardly, and a slide groove 111 is arranged on the drawer main body 11; wherein the drawer cover 12 is detachably connected to the drawer main body 11 so that the accommodating space 101 is configured as a closed chamber. In other words, the drawer assembly 100 can use a closed chamber to store items, which can create conditions for subsequent dry and wet separation of multiple storage spaces 1011. Here, the drawer cover 12 is connected to the drawer main body 11 in a loose manner, and the drawer cover 12 can be assembled and supported by the drawer main body 11.
[0045] As preferably, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a moisture permeable film 121 and a humidity adjusting dial block 122 are provided on the drawer cover 12. The humidity adjusting dial block 122 is slidably connected to the drawer cover 12 to control the opening or closing of the moisture permeable film 121. Here, the humidity adjusting dial block 122 controls the opening or closing of the moisture permeable film 121. Specifically, by utilizing the material characteristics of the moisture permeable film 121, when the moisture permeable film 121 is opened, the storage space 1011 corresponding to the moisture permeable film 121 can be used as a wet storage space; and when the moisture permeable film 121 is closed, the storage space 1011 corresponding to the moisture permeable film 121 can be used as a dry storage space. In this process, the user can control the humidity of the storage space 1011 corresponding to the moisture permeable film 121 by turning the humidity adjusting dial block 122 to meet the use requirements for storing items. It should be noted that the above-mentioned moisture permeable film 121 can adopt the conventional moisture permeable film in the existing refrigerator, wherein the position and area of the moisture permeable film 121 on the drawer cover 12 can be specifically set according to the requirements of use, which will not be elaborated here.
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the moisture permeable film 121 is arranged in the area where the slide groove 111 is located in the height direction of the drawer body 10; wherein, the drawer body 11 is provided with a ventilation hole 112, the ventilation hole 112 is arranged on the outside of the slide groove 111, and the ventilation hole 112 can be used to introduce cold air. The storage space corresponding to the ventilation hole 112 on the drawer body 11 is a dry storage space to meet the use requirements of storing items. It should be noted that when the drawer assembly 100 is assembled and applied to a refrigerator, the air outlet of the refrigerator can be aligned with the ventilation hole 112 on the drawer body 11 and provide cold air for the drawer body 11.
[0047] like Figure 3 , Figure 5As shown in the figure, along the moving direction of the roller 21, a plurality of anti-direction protrusions 1112 are sequentially and spacedly formed on the bottom 1111 of the groove of the drawer body 10, and the anti-direction protrusions 1112 can provide a damping force for the movement of the roller 21. Here, the plurality of anti-direction protrusions 1112 are arranged on the bottom 1111 of the groove at equal intervals, and among them, the anti-direction protrusions 1112 are in a semi-cylindrical shape. In this way, on the one hand, the user experience when adjusting the partition 20 can be improved, and on the other hand, when the partition 20 is adjusted to a specified position, the problem of easy free sliding will not occur.
[0048] As Figure 2 shown in the figure, the number of partitions 20 is configured to be two, so that the drawer body 10 can be separated into three storage spaces 1011 by the two partitions 20 to meet the use requirements for storing items. Here, two groups of ventilation holes 112 are provided on the drawer body 11 of the drawer body 10, so that when the drawer assembly 100 is applied to a refrigerator, two storage spaces 1011 can be used as dry storage spaces, and one storage space 1011 can be used as a wet storage space.
[0049] As Figure 4 shown in the figure, the number of rollers 21 is configured to be four, and the four rollers 21 are arranged symmetrically in pairs on the outside of the partition 20. That is to say, the partition 20 can be slidably supported on the bottom 1111 of the chute 111 by the four rollers 21, which can further improve the stability of the partition 20 when sliding on the bottom 1111 of the chute 111. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of rollers 21 can also be two, three, etc., and will not be elaborated here.
[0050] As Figure 4 shown in the figure, a connecting shaft 22 is provided on the partition 20, and the connecting shaft 22 is connected to the partition 20 in a threaded manner, and the roller 21 is rotatably mounted on the connecting shaft 22. This can facilitate the assembly of the roller 21 on the partition 20. Here, the roller 21 can be first rotatably assembled to the connecting shaft 22, and then the connecting shaft 22 is assembled to the partition 20 in a threaded manner.
[0051] Preferably, as Figure 4 shown in the figure, the connecting shaft 22 can be clamped to the drawer body 10 under the drive of the partition 20, specifically clamped to the drawer body 11 on the drawer body 10, so that the two storage spaces 1011 on both sides of the partition 20 can be partitioned and sealed by the partition 20. That is to say, when the partition 20 is at the extreme position of movement on the chute 111, the two storage spaces 1011 separated by the partition 20 of the drawer body 10 are relatively independent, so as to meet the use requirements that the drawer assembly 100 can be separated into three storage spaces 1011 with dry-wet separation.
[0052] In summary, the drawer assembly 100 of the present application has the function of separating dry and wet, and the volume of the storage space 1011 corresponding to the dry and wet areas can be achieved by sliding the partition plate 20. Moreover, during the process of the user sliding the partition plate 20, the operation experience is good.
[0053] As Figure 6 shown, the present application further provides a refrigerator, including a refrigerating inner container 200 and the above-mentioned drawer assembly 100. The drawer assembly 100 is detachably installed in the refrigerating inner container 200.
[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.
[0055] Those of ordinary skill in the art of this technology should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. As long as within the scope of the substantial spirit of the present invention, appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
