[0039] Unless otherwise stated, the term "plurality" means two or more.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the character " / " indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B means: A or B.

[0041] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0042] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0043] In existing refrigerators, manufacturers often incorporate ice makers and ice drawers to meet users' ice-making needs, aiming to diversify their functions. The drawer also incorporates partitions to divide the storage cavity into multiple sub-cavities. One sub-cavity can be used to store ice cubes, while the others can be used to store other items. This prevents items in other sub-cavities from contaminating the ice in the ice storage cavity without increasing the size of the refrigerator.

[0044] However, the partitions in existing ice drawers are typically fixed to the storage cavity. However, users' ice needs vary at different times, and different users also have different ice needs. Therefore, existing ice drawers cannot meet users' ice storage needs, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an ice receiving drawer 20 for a refrigeration device and a refrigeration device. The user can slide the partition 30 along the slide 22 in the storage cavity 21 to adjust the size of the ice storage cavity 211, thereby improving the user experience.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an ice receiving drawer 20 for a refrigeration device, comprising: a drawer body 201 and a partition 30. The drawer body 201 is provided with a storage cavity 21 and a slide 22. The slide 22 is provided along the length of the storage cavity 21, and a snap-fit ​​portion 23 is provided in the storage cavity 21. The partition 30 is movably provided in the storage cavity 21. The partition 30 includes a sliding portion 31 and a snap-fit ​​portion 302. The sliding portion 31 is inserted into the slide 22 to enable the partition 30 to move along the slide 22 in the storage cavity 21. The slide 22 is provided with a limit portion 221, and the limit portion 221 is located above the sliding portion 31. When the partition 30 slides along the slide 22 to a position corresponding to the snap-fit ​​portion 23, the snap-fit ​​portion 302 of the partition 30 can snap-fit ​​with the snap-fit ​​portion 23 of the storage cavity 21.

[0047] Specifically, the refrigeration equipment includes an ice maker 10, which is arranged above the drawer body 201. The partition 30 is arranged in the storage cavity 21 to divide the storage cavity 21 into two more sub-cavities. The sub-cavity located below the ice maker 10 is configured as an ice storage cavity 211 for storing ice. The slide 22 is arranged on the side wall surface of the storage cavity 21 along the length direction of the storage cavity 21, that is, the slide 22 is horizontally arranged on the side wall surface of the storage cavity 21. The edges of the partition 30 corresponding to the slide 22 are provided with a sliding portion 31, and the sliding portion 31 is slidably arranged in the slide 22. When the partition 30 moves in the storage cavity 21, the slide 22 can guide the sliding portion 31 so that the partition 30 moves along the length direction of the storage cavity 21.

[0048] The user can push the divider 30 within the storage cavity 21 to adjust the size of the ice storage cavity 211. For example, if the user's ice demand is small, the user can push the divider 30 to the position corresponding to the latching portion 23 and engage the latching portion 302 with the latching portion 23 to secure the divider 30 to the drawer body 201. The divider 30 now divides the storage cavity 21 into a sub-cavity serving as the ice storage cavity 211. This allows the user to store ice in the ice storage cavity 211 and other items in the other sub-cavity. If the user's ice demand is large, the user can first disengage the latching portion 302 from the latching portion 23 to activate the divider 30. At this point, the user can push the divider 30 away from the ice storage cavity 211 until it abuts against the sidewall of the storage cavity 21. In this way, the user can use the entire storage cavity 21 as the ice storage cavity 211 to store ice in the entire storage cavity 21 .

[0049] With this arrangement, the user can slide the partition 30 along the slide 22 in the storage cavity 21 , thereby adjusting the size of the ice storage cavity 211 , thereby improving the user experience.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the slide 22 is provided on the side wall surface of the storage cavity 21, and the lower edge of the slide 22 extends to the bottom surface of the storage cavity 21. In this way, the slide 22 can also be used to store ice cubes or other items, increasing the volume of the storage cavity 21.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of groups of snap-fit ​​portions 23 are provided in the storage cavity 21 along the movement direction of the partition 30 .

[0052] Specifically, the storage cavity 21 is provided with multiple sets of engaging portions 23, and the multiple sets of engaging portions 23 are arranged along the movement direction of the partition 30. The user can push the partition 30 to move between the multiple sets of engaging portions 23 and engage the engaging portion 302 of the partition 30 with any engaging portion 23, thereby adjusting the size of the ice storage cavity 211.

[0053] In some practical applications, the storage cavity 21 is provided with a first set of latching portions 23 and a second set of latching portions 23, with the first set of latching portions 23 located on a side of the second set of latching portions 23 closer to the ice maker 10. When a user needs to store ice and other items simultaneously and the amount of ice required is small, the partition 30 can be pushed to the first set of latching portions 23, and the latching portions of the partition 30 can be engaged with the first set of latching portions 23. When a user needs to store ice and other items simultaneously and the amount of ice required is large, the partition 30 can be pushed to the second set of latching portions 23, and the latching portions of the partition 30 can be engaged with the second set of latching portions 23. When the user needs to store a large amount of ice and does not need to store other items, the partition 30 can be pushed away from the ice maker 10 until it abuts against the side wall of the storage cavity 21.

[0054] In the above embodiment, when the partition 30 is engaged with the set of engaging portions 23 closest to the ice maker 10, the size of the ice storage cavity 211 is greater than or equal to the size of the ice outlet of the ice maker 10, so that the ice produced by the ice maker 10 can fall completely into the ice storage cavity 211, thereby preventing ice cubes from falling into other sub-cavities.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the storage cavity 21 includes a first side wall surface and a second side wall surface respectively perpendicular to the partition 30, and the first side wall surface and the second side wall surface are respectively provided with a first clip-on portion 24 and a second clip-on portion 251; the two ends of the partition 30 are respectively provided with a first clip-on fitting portion 321 and a second clip-on fitting portion 322, and the first clip-on fitting portion 321 and the second clip-on fitting portion 322 can be respectively clipped to the first clip-on portion 24 and the second clip-on portion 251.

[0056] Specifically, when the partition 30 slides to a position corresponding to the engaging portion 23, the first engaging portion 321 of the partition 30 can be engaged with the first engaging portion 24, and the second engaging portion 322 of the partition 30 can be engaged with the second engaging portion 251. In this way, both ends of the partition 30 can be engaged with the first side wall and the second side wall, respectively, to improve the stability of the partition 30 engaged with the drawer body 201.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the first engaging portion 24 on the first side wall and the second engaging portion 251 on the second side wall form a set of engaging portions 23. Therefore, the provision of a plurality of engaging portions 23 on the storage cavity 21 means that the first side wall and the second side wall are respectively provided with a plurality of first engaging portions 24 and a plurality of second engaging portions 251.

[0058] like Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the first clamping portion 24 includes two vertically arranged ribs 241, and a clamping gap 242 is provided between the two ribs 241; a clamping protrusion 32 is provided at a position corresponding to the clamping gap 242 of the partition 30 to form a first clamping fitting portion 321.

[0059] Specifically, the width of the engaging gap 242 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the engaging protrusion 32, and less than or equal to 3 / 2 times the thickness of the engaging protrusion 32. It is understood that if the width of the engaging gap 242 is less than the thickness of the engaging protrusion 32, the engaging protrusion 32 will not be able to engage with the engaging gap 242. If the width of the engaging gap 242 is greater than 3 / 2 times the thickness of the engaging protrusion 32, the partition 30 will not be securely engaged with the drawer body 201.

[0060] If the user wishes to engage the partition 30 with the drawer body 201, the user can first move the partition 30 upward so that the height of the engaging protrusion 32 is higher than the height of the rib 241. The user can then push the partition 30 so that the engaging protrusion 32 is above the engaging gap 242. The user can then move the partition 30 downward so that the engaging protrusion 32 is within the engaging gap 242.

[0061] If the user needs to adjust the size of the ice storage cavity 211, the user can first move the partition 30 upward to move the engaging protrusion 32 to the top of the rib 241. Then, the partition 30 is pushed to move along the slide 22 to adjust the size of the ice storage cavity 211.

[0062] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a card interface 25 is provided on the upper edge of the second side wall of the storage cavity 21 to form a second card portion 251; a card protrusion 32 is provided at a position corresponding to the card interface 25 on the partition 30 to form a second card fitting portion 322.

[0063] Specifically, the width of the card interface 25 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the clamping protrusion 32 , and less than or equal to 3 / 2 times the thickness of the clamping protrusion 32 .

[0064] If the user wishes to snap the partition 30 into the drawer body 201, the user can first move the partition 30 upwards so that the snap-on protrusion 32 is at the same height as the upper edge of the second sidewall of the storage cavity 21. The user can then push the partition 30 again so that the snap-on protrusion 32 is positioned above the snap-on interface 25. Finally, the user can move the partition 30 downwards so that the snap-on protrusion 32 is positioned within the snap-on interface 25.

[0065] If the user needs to adjust the size of the ice storage cavity 211, the user can first move the partition 30 upward so that the engaging protrusion 32 moves above the upper edge of the second side wall of the storage cavity 21. Then, the partition 30 is pushed along the slide 22 to adjust the size of the ice storage cavity 211.

[0066] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, an avoidance gap 222 is provided between the limiting portion 221 of the slide 22 and the sliding portion 31; wherein, the height of the avoidance gap 222 is greater than or equal to the stroke length of the clamping protrusion 32 moving upward to outside the clamping gap 242, and the height of the avoidance gap 222 is greater than or equal to the stroke length of the clamping protrusion 32 moving upward to outside the card interface 25; the height of the avoidance gap is less than or equal to the preset height.

[0067] Specifically, when the partition 30 moves upward and the sliding portion 31 of the partition 30 abuts the limiting portion 221 of the slideway 22, the height of the engaging protrusion 32 of the partition 30 corresponding to the engaging gap 242 is higher than the height of the rib 241. Furthermore, the height of the engaging protrusion 32 of the partition 30 corresponding to the engaging interface 25 is higher than the height of the upper edge of the second side wall of the storage cavity 21. This arrangement prevents interference between the rib 241 and the second side wall of the storage cavity 21 with the movement of the partition 30.

[0068] At the same time, the height of the clearance gap 222 is less than or equal to 40 mm. For example, the height of the clearance gap 222 can be 40 mm, 35 mm, 30 mm, 25 mm, or 20 mm. Thus, when the partition 30 moves upward to a predetermined height, the stopper 221 stops the baffle 30 from further movement. This arrangement prevents the gap between the baffle 30 and the bottom surface of the storage cavity 21 from becoming excessively large, thereby preventing ice in the ice storage cavity from falling through the gap between the baffle 30 and the bottom surface of the storage cavity 21 into other sub-cavities.

[0069] In actual application, in the above embodiment, if the user wants to remove the baffle 30, he only needs to rotate the baffle around the Z axis to a preset angle so that the sliding part 31 rotates out of the slideway 22, and the baffle 30 can be removed, which is more convenient to operate.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a rib 26 is provided on the bottom wall of the storage cavity 21 , and a slot 33 is provided on the lower edge of the partition 30 ; wherein the rib 26 can be snapped into the slot 33 .

[0071] Specifically, the position of the retaining rib 26 corresponds to the position of the retaining portion 23. Thus, when the retaining portion of the partition 30 is engaged with the retaining portion 23 of the storage cavity 21, the retaining groove 33 of the partition 30 can also be engaged with the retaining rib 26. In this way, the retaining rib 26 can limit the lower edge of the partition 30, further improving the stability of the retaining rib 30 in the drawer body 201.

[0072] like Figure 1 As shown, the present disclosure also provides a refrigeration device comprising: a housing, an ice maker 10, and the aforementioned ice receiving drawer 20 for the refrigeration device. The housing is provided with an ice-making compartment; the ice maker 10 is disposed in the ice-making compartment; and the ice receiving drawer 20 for the refrigeration device is disposed in the ice-making compartment. A partition 30 can separate the storage cavity 21 into an ice storage cavity 211, and the ice maker 10 is located above the ice storage cavity 211.

[0073] Specifically, the ice maker 10 includes an ice outlet through which ice is produced. A partition 30 divides the storage cavity 21 into two sub-cavities, with the sub-cavity located below the ice maker 10 forming an ice storage cavity 211. The size of the ice storage cavity 211 is larger than the ice outlet of the ice maker 10.

[0074] By using the refrigeration device with the ice receiving drawer 20 provided in the present application, the user can slide the partition 30 along the slide 22 in the storage cavity 21, thereby adjusting the size of the ice storage cavity 211, thereby improving the user experience.

[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the ice maker 10 includes an ice detection rod 11. The ice detection rod 11 is used to detect the amount of ice stored in the ice storage cavity 211. The side wall of the ice storage cavity 211 is higher than the height of the ice detection rod 11, and the height of the partition 30 is higher than the height of the ice detection rod 11.

[0076] Specifically, when the ice probe 11 contacts ice, the ice maker 10 determines that the ice in the ice storage chamber 211 has reached its maximum capacity and stops making ice. At this time, since the sidewalls of the ice storage chamber 211 and the partition 30 are both higher than the height of the ice probe 11, the ice in the ice storage chamber 211 can be prevented from falling out.

[0077] In some embodiments, a clearance opening is provided at a position of the ice receiving drawer 20 corresponding to the ice maker 10 .

[0078] Specifically, a clearance opening is provided on the inner wall of the drawer body 201 at a position corresponding to the ice maker 10. Thus, when the user pulls out or pushes in the ice receiving drawer 20, the clearance opening makes way for the ice maker 10 to prevent the ice maker 10 from interfering with the drawer body 201.
