Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refrigerators, and in particular to a refrigerator drawer and a refrigerator thereof. Background Art
[0002] As a vital household appliance, refrigerators require efficient internal space utilization and flexible layout to meet customer storage needs. Internal dividers can be used to partition the refrigerator's internal storage space into multiple areas. However, traditional refrigerator dividers are typically fixed in position, making them difficult to adjust to accommodate items of varying sizes and shapes, limiting storage efficiency and ease of use.
[0003] To improve the utilization of refrigerator interior space, researchers have developed various adjustable dividers that allow for flexible adjustment of the refrigerator's interior area. However, some existing adjustable divider solutions suffer from a limited adjustment range, failing to fully utilize the refrigerator's interior volume. Other solutions also suffer from complex structures and inconvenient operation, making them difficult for users to use. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a refrigerator drawer partition plate that can be flexibly adjusted and a refrigerator thereof.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, this application provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A refrigerator drawer, comprising:
[0007] The drawer body has an accommodating space provided therein;
[0008] a first partition plate extending along a first direction of the accommodating space, received in the accommodating space, and movable along a second direction within the accommodating space;
[0009] a second partition plate extending along the second direction of the accommodating space, received in the accommodating space, and capable of moving along the first direction within the accommodating space;
[0010] The first partition plate and the second partition plate are arranged to cross each other and divide the accommodating space into a plurality of sub-spaces, and can move relative to each other to change the size of the sub-spaces;
[0011] The first direction and the second direction are arranged at an angle.
[0012] It can be understood that the present application sets up a first partition plate and a second partition plate that cross each other, and the first partition plate and the second partition plate can move relative to each other, so that the size of the subspace can be adjusted in the first direction and the second direction, the adjustment is more flexible and can better meet the requirements of the adjustable range of space; at the same time, the use of the partition plate makes each subspace relatively independent, which can achieve better space separation and regular storage.
[0013] In one embodiment, the side wall of the accommodating space in the first direction is configured as a first side wall, a first sliding groove is formed on the first side wall, and the first sliding groove extends along the second direction;
[0014] The refrigerator drawer further includes a first sliding portion, which is installed at an end position of the first partition plate in the first direction and is accommodated in the first sliding groove and is slidably connected to the first sliding groove.
[0015] It can be understood that by utilizing the cooperation between the first sliding groove and the first sliding portion, the movement of the first partition plate in the second direction can be achieved, making its movement more stable and smooth, and effectively improving the user experience.
[0016] In one embodiment, the first sliding portion is configured as a first roller, and the first roller is rollingly disposed in the first sliding groove.
[0017] It can be understood that the provision of the first roller can further transform sliding into rolling cooperation, thereby improving the smoothness of movement.
[0018] In one embodiment, along the second direction of the accommodating space, a plurality of first protrusions are provided in the first sliding groove at intervals, and a first limiting groove is formed between two adjacent first protrusions;
[0019] A second convex portion is provided on the outer surface of the first roller, and the second convex portion can form a limiting fit with the first limiting groove.
[0020] It can be understood that during the sliding of the first partition plate, the first protrusion and the second protrusion will rub against each other, thereby providing corresponding damping force during the adjustment process of the first partition plate, which is beneficial to improving the hand feel and user experience during the submission process; and after adjustment into place, the second protrusion can form a limiting fit with the first limiting groove to limit the first partition plate, so that it will not slide easily after being adjusted to the specified position, thereby increasing stability.
[0021] In one embodiment, the side wall of the accommodating space in the second direction is configured as a second side wall, a second sliding groove is formed on the second side wall, and the second sliding groove extends along the first direction;
[0022] The refrigerator drawer further includes a second sliding portion, which is mounted on the end portion of the second partition plate in the second direction and accommodated in the second sliding groove and is slidably connected to the second sliding groove.
[0023] In one embodiment, the second sliding portion is configured as a second roller, and the second roller is rollingly disposed in the second sliding groove.
[0024] In one embodiment, along the first direction of the accommodating space, a plurality of third protrusions are provided in the second sliding groove at intervals, and a second limiting groove is formed between two adjacent third protrusions;
[0025] A fourth protrusion is provided on the outer surface of the second roller, and a limiting fit can be formed between the fourth protrusion and the second limiting groove.
[0026] It can be understood that the first retaining grooves formed by the spaced first protrusions effectively secure the first roller in different positions. When the refrigerator's internal subspace is used to store items, lightly touching the divider will not cause it to move. Furthermore, the second protrusions provided on the first roller create greater friction between them and the first retaining grooves, further preventing the divider from moving.
[0027] In one embodiment, a through slot is formed on the second partition plate, the through slot extends along the second direction of the accommodating space, and one end of the first partition plate passes through the through slot.
[0028] In one embodiment, the refrigerator drawer further includes a cover plate, the accommodating space has an opening, and the cover plate is used to open and close the opening;
[0029] Wherein, a receiving groove is formed on the cover plate.
[0030] It can be understood that the cover can make the refrigerator drawer sealed, which is more conducive to ensuring a constant temperature inside the refrigerator drawer; at the same time, by providing a receiving groove, the cover can be used to accommodate smaller items, further increasing the diversity of the space and improving the storage space.
[0031] This application also provides the following technical solutions:
[0032] A refrigerator comprises the refrigerator drawer described in any one of the above embodiments.
[0033] Compared with the existing technology, the refrigerator drawer is provided with a first partition plate and a second partition plate that cross each other, and the first partition plate and the second partition plate can move relative to each other, so that the size of the subspace can be adjusted in the first direction and the second direction, the adjustment is more flexible and can better meet the requirements of the adjustable range of space; at the same time, the use of the partition plate makes each subspace relatively independent, which can achieve better regular storage.

[0048] See also Figures 1 to 6The present application provides a refrigerator drawer 100, which is installed inside a refrigerator. Here, a flexibly adjustable partition is provided inside the refrigerator drawer 100 for storing items in different areas.
[0049] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The refrigerator drawer 100 includes a drawer body 10, a first divider 20, and a second divider 30. The drawer body 10 defines a storage space 11. The first divider 20 extends along a first direction x of the storage space 11 and is received within the storage space 11. The first divider 20 is movable within the storage space 11 along a second direction y. The second divider 30 extends along the second direction y of the storage space 11 and is received within the storage space 11. The first divider 20 and the second divider 30 are intersectingly arranged to divide the storage space 11 into a plurality of subspaces 111. The first and second divider 20 and 30 are movable relative to each other to adjust the size of the subspaces 111. The first and second directions y are arranged at an angle. Thus, the mutual movement of the first and second divider 20 and 30 in the first and second directions y allows the subspaces 111 to be adjusted in size, providing flexible adjustment and better meeting the desired range of space adjustment. Furthermore, the dividers make each subspace 111 relatively independent, enabling better organized storage.
[0050] Here, the angle between the first direction x and the second direction y can be set to 80 degrees, 90 degrees, 100 degrees, etc. Of course, it is not limited thereto, and the angle between the first direction x and the second direction y can be selected according to actual conditions.
[0051] In this embodiment, the first direction x and the second direction y are arranged at 90 degrees, that is, the first partition plate 20 and the second partition plate 30 are arranged vertically.
[0052] In one embodiment, if Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the sidewall of the accommodating space 11 along the first direction x is configured as a first sidewall 12. The first sidewall 12 defines a first chute 13, and the first chute 13 extends along the second direction y. The refrigerator drawer 100 also includes a first sliding portion 21. The first sliding portion 21 is mounted at the end of the first divider 20 in the first direction x and accommodated within the first chute 13, where it is slidably connected to the first chute 13. Thus, during adjustment of the first divider 20, the guiding cooperation between the first chute 13 and the first sliding portion 21 ensures that the movement of the first divider 20 is more stable and the adjustment is smoother.
[0053] There are two first side walls 12, which are arranged opposite each other in the first direction x. The number of first chute grooves 13 can be set to multiple, for example, two, three, or more first chute grooves 13 can be provided on each first side wall 12. On the same first side wall 12, multiple first chute grooves 13 are spaced apart along the depth direction of the accommodating space 11.
[0054] Preferably, the first sliding portion 21 can be configured as a component such as a boss or a roller.
[0055] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first sliding portion 21 is configured as a first roller 211, which is rollingly disposed in the first chute 13. Thus, during the adjustment process of the first partition plate 20, the movement of the first partition plate 20 changes from sliding to rolling, which helps to reduce the friction between the first sliding portion 21 and the first chute 13, making the adjustment of the first partition plate 20 smoother and more silky, further improving the user experience.
[0056] Furthermore, along the second direction of the accommodating space 11, a plurality of first protrusions 131 are provided in the first slide 13 at intervals, with a first limiting groove 132 formed between two adjacent first protrusions 131. A second protrusion 2111 is provided on the outer surface of the first roller 211, and the second protrusion 2111 can form a limiting fit with the first limiting groove 132. Thus, during the sliding process of the first partition plate 20, the first protrusion 131 and the second protrusion 2111 will rub against each other, thereby providing a corresponding damping force during the adjustment of the first partition plate 20, which is conducive to improving the hand feel and user experience during the submission process. Moreover, after the adjustment is in place, the second protrusion 2111 can form a limiting fit with the first limiting groove 132, thereby limiting the first partition plate 20, preventing it from sliding easily after being adjusted to the specified position, and increasing stability.
[0057] In one embodiment, the first sliding groove 13 is provided along the first direction x through the first side wall 12 , so that when assembling the first sliding portion 21 , it can be done from the outside to the inside of the accommodating space 11 , which makes assembly more convenient.
[0058] Furthermore, in order to ensure the sealing of the interior of the accommodating space 11, a first slide groove cover 112 is provided outside the accommodating space 11. The first slide groove cover 112 blocks the first slide groove 13, thereby not only covering the first sliding part 21 but also achieving the sealing of the first slide groove 13.
[0059] Here, the first chute cover 112 and the drawer body 10 can be connected by means of threaded connection, snap connection, etc., so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the first chute cover 112.
[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the sidewall of the accommodating space 11 along the second direction y is configured as a second sidewall 14. The second sidewall 14 is provided with a second chute 15, and the second chute 15 extends along the first direction x. The refrigerator drawer 100 also includes a second sliding portion 31. The second sliding portion 31 is mounted on the end of the second partition plate 30 in the second direction y and is received within the second chute 15, where it is slidably connected to the second chute 15. Thus, during adjustment of the second partition plate 30, the guiding cooperation between the second chute 15 and the second sliding portion 31 can achieve guidance of the movement of the second partition plate 30, making its movement more stable and adjustment smoother.
[0061] There are two second sidewalls 14, which are arranged opposite each other in the second direction y. The number of second chute grooves 15 can be set to multiple, for example, two, three, or more second chute grooves 15 can be provided on each second sidewall 14. On the same second sidewall 14, multiple second chute grooves 15 are spaced apart along the depth direction of the accommodating space 11.
[0062] Preferably, the second sliding portion 31 can be configured as a component such as a boss or a roller.
[0063] In this embodiment, the second sliding portion 31 is configured as a second roller 311, which is rollingly disposed within the second chute 15. Thus, during the adjustment process of the second partition plate 30, the movement of the second partition plate 30 changes from sliding to rolling, which helps reduce the friction between the second sliding portion 31 and the second chute 15, making the adjustment of the second partition plate 30 smoother and more seamless, further improving the user experience.
[0064] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, along the second direction of the accommodating space 11, a plurality of third protrusions 151 are provided in the second slide groove 15 at intervals, with a second limiting groove 152 formed between two adjacent third protrusions 151. A fourth protrusion 3111 is provided on the outer surface of the second roller 311, and the fourth protrusion 3111 can form a limiting fit with the second limiting groove 152. In this way, during the sliding process of the second partition plate 30, the third protrusions 151 and the fourth protrusion 3111 will rub against each other, thereby providing a corresponding damping force during the adjustment of the second partition plate 30, which is conducive to improving the hand feel and user experience during the submission process. Moreover, after the adjustment is in place, the fourth protrusion 3111 can form a limiting fit with the second limiting groove 152 to limit the second partition plate 30, so that it will not easily slide after being adjusted to the specified position, thereby increasing stability.
[0065] In one embodiment, the second sliding groove 15 is provided along the second direction y through the second side wall 14 , so that when assembling the second sliding portion 31 , it can be done from the outside to the inside of the accommodating space 11 , which makes assembly more convenient.
[0066] Furthermore, in order to ensure the sealing of the interior of the accommodating space 11, a second slide groove cover 113 is provided outside the accommodating space 11. The second slide groove cover 113 blocks the second slide groove 15, thereby not only covering the second sliding part 31 but also achieving the sealing of the second slide groove 15.
[0067] Here, the second chute cover 113 and the drawer body 10 can be connected by means of threaded connection, snap connection, etc., so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the second chute cover 113.
[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, the second partition plate 30 is provided with a through slot 32 extending along the second direction y of the accommodating space 11. One end of the first partition plate 20 is provided with the through slot 32 and connected to the first sidewall 12. This allows the first partition plate 20 to move within the through slot 32 along the second direction y, while the second partition plate 30 can be adjusted in the first direction x. Of course, this is not limiting. The through slot 32 can also be provided on the first partition plate 20, with one end of the second partition plate 30 extending through the through slot 32 and connected to the second sidewall 14.
[0069] In one embodiment, if Figures 5 and 6 As shown, the refrigerator drawer also includes a cover plate 40. The storage space 11 has an opening, and the cover plate 40 is used to open and close the opening. Specifically, the cover plate 40 is formed with a storage groove 41. This allows the cover plate 40 to seal the drawer storage space 11, further ensuring a constant temperature inside the refrigerator drawer and facilitating storage. Furthermore, the formation of the storage groove 41 on the cover plate 40 allows it to accommodate smaller items, further increasing the space's versatility and improving storage capacity.
[0070] Furthermore, in order to facilitate taking and placing the cover plate 40, a handle 42 is also provided on the cover plate 40. Here, the handle 42 can be configured as a groove or a protrusion.
[0071] The present application also provides a refrigerator, which includes the refrigerator drawer 100 in any of the above embodiments.
[0072] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0073] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection for the present application shall be determined by the appended claims.
