[0001] This application relates to the technical field of refrigerators, and particularly to a drawer and a refrigerator. Background Art
[0002] Drawers are used for sliding installation in structures such as cabinets and boxes for storing items. The common drawers on the market have only one storage space. Especially in refrigerators, the single storage space of the drawer results in a single storage function and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to user needs. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a drawer that can flexibly adjust the storage space to improve the storage function.
[0004] A drawer includes two storage parts arranged along a first direction X. Each storage part includes an inner layer and an outer layer that are slidably connected along the first direction X. A storage space is formed between the inner layer and the outer layer. The inner layers of the two storage parts are close to each other and are in limit cooperation in the first direction X. As the inner layers of the two storage parts move together along the first direction X, the sizes of the two storage spaces change synchronously.
[0005] In one embodiment, in each storage part, the inner layer and the outer layer are in limit cooperation in a second direction Y, and the two inner layers can move relative to each other along the second direction Y so that the two storage parts can move relative to each other in the second direction Y, where the second direction Y is set at an angle to the first direction X.
[0006] In one embodiment, the drawer further includes a connecting piece. The connecting piece is provided with a first sliding groove that extends along the second direction Y and forms an opening at one end. The inner layer is provided with a first main board. Each first main board is slidably inserted into the first sliding groove along the second direction Y through the opening and is stopped against the side wall of the first sliding groove along the first direction X.
[0007] In one embodiment, the number of the first sliding grooves is configured to be two, and the two first sliding grooves are arranged along the first direction X. The first main boards are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the first sliding grooves, and the two openings are located at the same end of the connecting piece along the second direction Y.
[0008] In one embodiment, the inner layer further includes two first side boards that are respectively located on both sides of the first main board and are respectively used for sliding connection with the outer layer.
[0009] In one embodiment, in each inner layer, one first side board is fixedly connected to the first main board, and the other first side board is fixedly connected to the connecting piece.
[0010] In one embodiment, one of the outer layer and the first side plate is provided with a second sliding groove extending along the first direction X, and the other is slidably inserted into the second sliding groove along the first direction X.
[0011] In one embodiment, the outer layer includes a second main board and two second side plates respectively connected to both sides of the second main board. The second sliding groove is provided on the second side plate, and the first side plate is connected to the second side plate in one-to-one correspondence through the second sliding groove.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2, this application provides a drawer 100, which includes two storage parts 10 arranged along the first direction X. Each storage part 10 includes an inner layer 11 and an outer layer 12 that are slidably connected along the first direction X. A storage space 13 is formed between the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12. The inner layers 11 of the two storage parts 10 are close to each other and are limited and cooperated in the first direction X. As the inner layers 11 of the two storage parts 10 move together along the first direction X, the sizes of the two storage spaces 13 change synchronously.
[0025] It should be noted that "the inner layers 11 of the two storage parts 10 are close to each other and are limited and cooperated in the first direction X" means that the inner layers 11 of the two storage parts 10 can only move together in the first direction X and cannot move relatively. It can be understood that a storage space 13 is formed in each storage part 10, dividing the space of the drawer 100, which is beneficial to improving the storage function of the drawer 100. For example, when the drawer 100 provided in this application is applied to a refrigerator, one of the storage spaces 13 can be configured as a refrigerating chamber, and the other storage space 13 can be configured as a freezing chamber. And, as the inner layers 11 of the two storage parts 10 move together along the first direction X, the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12 of one of the storage parts 10 move relatively away from each other, so that the storage space 13 of this storage part 10 increases, and the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12 of the other storage part 10 move relatively closer to each other, so that the storage space of this storage part 10 decreases. In this way, the user can adjust the relative sizes of the two storage spaces 13 according to actual needs. It is beneficial to improve the storage function of the drawer 100.
[0026] In each storage part 10, the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12 are limited and cooperated in the second direction Y. And, the two inner layers 11 can move relatively along the second direction Y so that the two storage parts 10 can move relatively in the second direction Y, where the second direction Y is arranged at an angle with the first direction X. It should be noted that "the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12 are limited and cooperated in the second direction Y" means that the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12 can only move together in the second direction Y and cannot move relatively. Combining the fact that the two inner layers 11 can move relatively along the second direction Y, it can be seen that the two storage parts 10 are independent of each other in the second direction. Therefore, when the drawer 100 is applied to a refrigerator, the second direction Y can be the open direction of the refrigerator, and the two storage parts 10 can be pulled out of the refrigerator separately through the opening.
[0027] Optionally, in one embodiment, the drawer 100 further comprises a connector 20, the connector 20 is provided with a first slide groove 21, the first slide groove 21 extends along the second direction Y and forms an opening 22 at one end, and the inner layer 11 is provided with a first main board 111; each first main board 111 is inserted into the first slide groove 21 through the opening 22 along the second direction Y and stops at the side wall of the first slide groove 21 along the first direction X. In this embodiment, the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other, and by providing the connector 20, the two inner layers 11 are connected together in the first direction X through the connector 20, and can move independently in the second direction Y. However, it is not limited thereto, in other embodiments, the connector 20 may not be provided, but the two inner layers 11 may be connected together by sliding rail assemblies along the second direction Y, so that the two inner layers 11 can only move relative to each other along the second direction Y, but cannot move relative to each other along the first direction X.
[0028] Further, the number of the first slide grooves 21 is configured to be two, and the two first slide grooves 21 are arranged along the first direction X, the first main board 111 is arranged one-to-one with the first slide grooves 21, and the two openings 22 are located at the same end of the connecting member 20 along the second direction Y. In this way, when the two storage parts 10 are pulled out through the corresponding openings 22, the first main boards 111 of the two storage parts 10 will not interfere with each other.
[0029] The inner layer 11 further includes two first side panels 112, which are respectively located on both sides of the first main board 111 and are respectively used for sliding connection with the outer layer 12. Specifically, the two first side panels 112 and the first main board 111 are surrounded to form a "匚"-shaped structure.
[0030] Further, in each inner layer 11, one first side plate 112 is fixedly connected to the first main plate 111, and another first side plate 112 is fixedly connected to the connector 20. In this way, each inner layer 11 can be connected to the connector 20 along the first direction Y.
[0031] Furthermore, one of the outer layer 12 and the first side plate 112 is provided with a second slide groove 121 extending along the first direction X, and the other is slidably inserted into the second slide groove 121 along the first direction X. In other words, the second slide groove 121 may be provided in the outer layer 12, so that the first side plate 112 is limited to the second slide groove 121 along the second direction Y; or the second slide groove 121 may be provided in the first side plate 112, so that the outer layer 12 is limited to the second slide groove 121 along the second direction Y.
[0032] That is, the outer layer 12 and the first side plate 112 can only move relative to each other along the first direction X in a fitting manner, and cannot move relative to each other along the second direction Y. Of course, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the outer layer 12 and the first side plate 112 can also be connected together through a slide rail assembly to achieve that the two can only move relative to each other along the first direction X and cannot move relative to each other along the second direction Y.
[0033] Specifically, the outer layer 12 includes a second main board 122 and two second side plates 123 respectively connected to both sides of the second main board 122. The second sliding groove 121 is opened on the second side plates 123, and the first side plate 112 is connected to the second side plates 123 in one-to-one correspondence through the second sliding groove 121.
[0034] Among them, the second main board 122 and the two second side plates 123 are configured as an integral structure. Of course, the second main board 122 and the two second side plates 123 can be separately arranged and then fixedly connected.
[0035] The present application also provides a refrigerator, which includes the drawer 100 described in any one of the above embodiments.
[0036] 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 recorded in this specification.
[0037] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation to the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
