The embodiments described herein are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are therefore only examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0036] The present invention provides a storage device and a refrigerator to solve the problem that food in the storage device is easily affected by moisture.

[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a storage device, including a storage box 1, a box cover 4, a rotating hub 2 and a storage component 3. The storage box 1 is arranged in a rectangular shape, and a storage slot 11 is opened at the top of the storage box 1. The rotating hub 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage slot 11 in the vertical direction. The storage component 3 is arranged in the storage slot 11 and is rotatably connected to the rotating hub 2. The box cover 4 covers the opening of the storage slot 11 and is detachably connected to the storage box 1.

[0038] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The storage assembly 3 includes a rotating member 31 and a plurality of storage members 32. In this embodiment, the rotating hub 2 is cylindrical, the rotating member 31 is cylindrical, the rotating member 31 is sleeved on the rotating hub 2, and the rotating member 31 is rotatably connected to the rotating hub 2 via a bearing. The plurality of storage members 32 are all fixedly connected to the rotating member 31. In this embodiment, the number of storage members 32 is set to six, and the six storage members 32 are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the rotating member 31. The storage member 32 includes a main body 321 and a sealing cover 322. A receiving groove 323 for receiving food is provided at the top of the main body 321. The sealing cover 322 covers the opening of the receiving groove 323 to reduce the mutual influence of food odors in different storage members 32, thereby affecting the food quality. By rotatably connecting the rotating member 31 to the rotating hub 2 , the storage member 32 is connected to the rotating member 31 . The storage member 32 can be rotated around the core axis of the rotating hub 2 through the rotating member 31 , making it convenient for users to place food into different storage members 32 .

[0039] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3The storage device also includes a control assembly 5. Each storage member 32 has a first discharge hole 324 at its bottom, and the storage box 1 has a second discharge hole 12 at its bottom. When the storage members 32 are rotated so that the first discharge hole 324 and the second discharge hole 12 are aligned, food within the storage members 32 can flow out of the storage device through the first and second discharge holes 324 and 12. The control assembly 5 is disposed at the bottom of the storage box 1 and is used to control the opening and closing of the first discharge hole 324.

[0040] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, the bottom of the storage box 1 is integrally formed with two elongated legs 6. The legs 6 are arranged along the length of the storage box 1 and are spaced apart along the width of the storage box 1. The control assembly 5 includes a blocking plate 51, which is disposed between the two legs 6 and slidably engages with both legs 6, allowing the blocking plates 51 to be spaced apart along the length of the storage box 1. The blocking plate 51 includes a blocking portion 511 and a discharge portion 512. The blocking portion 511 is used to block the first discharge hole 324. The discharge portion 512 is provided with a storage slot 513 for accommodating a container. When it is necessary to block the first discharge hole 324 and the second discharge hole 12, push the blocking plate 51 so that the blocking portion 511 covers the second discharge hole 12; when it is necessary to take out food in the storage device, place the receiving container in the storage groove 513, and then push the blocking plate 51 so that the receiving container is opposite to the second discharge hole 12, so that the food in the storage part 32 falls into the receiving container under the action of gravity.

[0041] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 The storage box 1 is provided with a plurality of drying boxes 7. In this embodiment, there are four drying boxes 7, which are fixedly connected to the four corners of the storage tank 11. The drying boxes 7 have drying slots 71 for accommodating desiccant. The side walls of the drying boxes 7 are provided with ventilation holes, and the ventilation holes 72 are connected to the drying slots 71. By placing the desiccant in the drying slots 71, the moisture in the storage tank 11 can be absorbed by the desiccant through the ventilation holes, thereby reducing the humidity in the storage tank 11.

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 An observation window 13 is provided on the side wall of the storage box 1 and a covering plate for sealing the observation window 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the storage box 1. The covering plate is made of a transparent material, and the storage piece 32 is also made of a transparent material, so that the user can observe the type of food in the storage piece 32 through the observation window 13.

[0043] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5The storage device also includes a box cover 4, which includes a covering portion 41 and a connecting portion 42. The connecting portion 42 is provided on one side of the covering portion 41. The covering portion 41 covers the opening of the storage slot 11, and the connecting portion 42 extends into the storage slot 11. The connecting portion 42 is engaged with the storage slot 11. The box cover 4 also includes a rotating portion 44. A rotating hole 43 is provided on the box cover 4. The rotating hole 43 passes through the covering portion 41 and the connecting portion 42. The rotating portion 44 is provided in the rotating hole 43. The rotating portion 44 is rotatably connected to the covering portion 41. Specifically, a slide rail is provided on the side of the rotating portion 44, and a slide groove that slides with the slide rail is provided on the wall of the rotating hole 43. When the box cover 4 is closed on the storage box 1, the rotating portion 44 abuts against the storage assembly 3, so that the user can rotate the rotating part 31 by rotating the rotating part 44, thereby rotating the storage part 32.

[0044] To sum up, by providing the storage box 1, the rotating hub 2 and the storage component 3 can be stored in the storage box 1, thereby improving the stability of the environment in which the storage component 3 is located, which is conducive to storing food; by providing the rotating hub 2 and opening a receiving cavity for accommodating a desiccant on the rotating hub 2, after adding the desiccant to the rotating hub 2, the rotating hub 2 can absorb the water vapor in the storage tank 11, reduce the air humidity in the storage tank 11, and solve the problem that the food in the storage device is easily affected by moisture.

[0045] The present application also provides a refrigerator including the storage device described above. Since the refrigerator includes the storage device described above, and since it has at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the storage device described above, they will not be described in detail here.
