[0027] Figure 3 is an exploded structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the drawer assembly provided by the application. The application provides a drawer assembly 100. The drawer assembly 100 comprises a first drawer 10, a connecting assembly 20, and a second drawer 30. The first drawer 10 has at least a first cavity 11 and a second cavity 12 to form at least two storage spaces. The second drawer 30 is arranged in the second cavity 12. The second drawer 30 is reversibly connected with the first drawer 10 through the connecting assembly 20, so that the second drawer 30 is flipped between a first relative position and a second relative position of the first drawer 10 to open or close the second drawer 30.

[0028] The drawer assembly 100 can be used in a wardrobe, a bookshelf, a table, a washing machine, a refrigerator, and the like, but is not limited thereto. The embodiments of the application are described by taking the refrigerator as an example. The refrigerator can be an embedded refrigerator, a cross-door refrigerator, or a French-door refrigerator, but is not limited thereto.

[0029] The first drawer 10 has at least two storage spaces, such as the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12. The first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12 of the first drawer 10 are arranged along a first direction X-X. When the drawer assembly 100 is arranged in a storage chamber of a refrigerator, the first direction X-X is parallel to the arrangement direction of the back wall of the storage chamber and the door body of the refrigerator. The second cavity 12 is located on the side of the first cavity 11 close to the door body of the refrigerator. The storage chamber can be a refrigerating chamber or a freezing chamber of the refrigerator, but is not limited thereto.

[0030] The second drawer 30 is arranged in the second cavity 12. The second drawer 30 has a storage space for storing articles. A user can place different types of articles in the first cavity 11 and the second drawer 30 for classified storage. The articles can be vegetables, fruits, meat, snacks, beverages, and the like, but are not limited thereto.

[0031] The second drawer 30 has a smaller volume than the first cavity 11 and is more efficient in opening and closing than the first drawer 10. The second drawer 30 can be used to store small or frequently used items, and the first cavity 11 can be used to store large or infrequently used items. Storing small items in the second drawer 30 can improve the efficiency of searching for items and thus improve the efficiency of taking out items. Storing frequently used items in the second drawer 30 can reduce the frequency of opening the first drawer 10, which can reduce the loss of cold energy in the first cavity 11 and prevent the first drawer 10 from being damaged due to frequent opening, thereby prolonging the service life of the first drawer 10.

[0032] The first drawer 10 has a first relative position and a second relative position, both of which are located in the second cavity 12. The first relative position is closer to the first cavity 11 than the second relative position, and the second relative position is closer to the door of the refrigerator than the first relative position. The second drawer 30 is connected to the first drawer 10 by the connecting assembly 20 and is flipped between the first relative position and the second relative position of the first drawer 10 by the connecting assembly 20. When the second drawer 30 is in the first relative position of the first drawer 10, the second drawer 30 is completely located in the storage space of the second cavity 12, and at this time, the second drawer 30 is in a closed state relative to the first drawer 10. When the second drawer 30 is in the second relative position of the first drawer 10, the second drawer 30 is partially located in the storage space of the second cavity 12 and partially extends out of the storage space of the second cavity 12, and at this time, the second drawer 30 is in an open state relative to the first drawer 10.

[0033] The connecting assembly 20 can be a hinge structure, a connecting rod structure, or a sliding groove and sliding member structure, but is not limited thereto. The embodiment of the present application describes the connecting assembly 20 as a sliding groove and sliding member structure.

[0034] By forming the first drawer 10 with the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12, and arranging the second drawer 30 in the second cavity 12 of the first drawer 10, and turning the second drawer 30 between the first relative position and the second relative position of the first drawer 10 through the connecting assembly 20 to open or close the second drawer 30, on the one hand, the user can place different types of items in the first cavity 11 and the second drawer 30 for classified storage, which can not only reduce the risk of the items stored in the drawer assembly 100 being forgotten or squeezed, but also reduce the difficulty of searching for the items, and can choose to place small items in the second drawer 30, which can further reduce the difficulty of searching for the items stored in the drawer assembly 100; on the other hand, the second drawer 30 can be opened or closed by turning in the second cavity 12 through the connecting assembly 20, without the need to pull out the second drawer 30, which can improve the opening and closing efficiency of the second drawer 30, and further improve the efficiency of taking and placing the items stored in the second drawer 30.

[0035] In some embodiments, the second cavity 12 has a first opening 12a, and the second drawer 30 includes a drawer body 31 and a panel 32 connected to the drawer body 31; wherein when the second drawer 30 is in the first relative position, the drawer body 31 is located in the second cavity 12, and the panel 32 closes the first opening 12a; when the second drawer 30 is in the second relative position, at least part of the drawer body 31 extends out of the second cavity 12 through the first opening 12a.

[0036] The first opening 12a of the second cavity 12 is located on the side of the second cavity 12 for being close to the door body of the refrigerator. The panel 32 is arranged on the side of the drawer body 31 for being close to the door body of the refrigerator. The panel 32 can be integrally formed with the drawer body 31, which not only can enhance the structural strength of the second drawer 30, but also can reduce the weight of the second drawer 30 without the need to arrange other fastening components, so that the turning process of the second drawer 30 is more labor-saving, and the opening and closing efficiency of the second drawer 30 can be further improved. The panel 32 can also be fixedly connected with the drawer body 31, and the fixed connection mode can be riveting, welding, bonding, bolt connection, pin key connection, buckle connection or magnetic adsorption connection, but is not limited thereto.

[0037] In some embodiments, when the second drawer 30 is located at the first relative position of the first drawer 10, the drawer body 31 and the panel 32 are completely located in the storage space of the second cavity 12, and the panel 32 closes the first opening 12a, and the second drawer 30 is in a closed state relative to the first drawer 10; when the second drawer 30 is located at the second relative position of the first drawer 10, the drawer body 31 is partially located in the storage space of the second cavity 12, and the panel 32 and the other part of the drawer body 31 extend out of the second cavity 12 through the first opening 12a, and the second drawer 30 is in an open state relative to the first drawer 10. When the second drawer 30 is in the closed state relative to the first drawer 10, the first opening 12a is closed by the panel 32, so that the cold quantity loss in the second drawer 30 can be reduced, thereby improving the refrigeration or freezing effect of the second drawer 30.

[0038] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 20 includes a sliding groove 21 and a sliding piece 22, the sliding groove 21 is arranged on one of the side wall of the second cavity 12 and the side wall of the drawer body 31, and the sliding piece 22 is arranged on the other one of the side wall of the second cavity 12 and the side wall of the drawer body 31, and the sliding piece 22 is slidingly arranged in the sliding groove 21.

[0039] In some embodiments, the sliding groove 21 is arranged on the side wall of the second cavity 12, and the sliding piece 22 is arranged on the side of the side wall of the drawer body 31 facing the side wall of the second cavity 12. In other embodiments, the sliding groove 21 is arranged on the side wall of the drawer body 31, and the side wall of the second cavity 12 faces the side of the drawer body 31. The embodiments of the present application are described with the sliding groove 21 arranged on the side wall of the second cavity 12, and the sliding piece 22 arranged on the side of the side wall of the drawer body 31 facing the side wall of the second cavity 12.

[0040] The second cavity 12 includes two first side walls 14, and the two first side walls 14 are oppositely arranged in a second direction Y-Y. The drawer body 31 includes two second side walls 311, and the two second side walls 311 are oppositely arranged in the second direction Y-Y. At least one of the two first side walls 14 is provided with a sliding groove 21, and at least one of the two second side walls 311 is provided with a sliding piece 22 on the side facing the first side wall 14, and the sliding piece 22 is slidingly arranged in the sliding groove 21. The second direction Y-Y is perpendicular to the first direction X-X.

[0041] The sliding groove 21 is used to guide and limit the sliding of the sliding piece 22. When the second drawer 30 is opened relative to the first drawer 10, that is, the second drawer 30 is flipped from the first relative position of the first drawer 10 to the second relative position of the first drawer 10, the sliding piece 22 slides from one end of the sliding groove 21 to the other end of the sliding groove 21. When the second drawer 30 is closed relative to the first drawer 10, that is, the second drawer 30 is flipped from the second relative position of the first drawer 10 to the first relative position of the first drawer 10, the sliding piece 22 slides from the other end of the sliding groove 21 to one end of the sliding groove 21. The connecting assembly 20 has a simple structure, which not only can reduce the weight of the drawer assembly 100, but also can improve the mounting efficiency of the second drawer 30 mounted on the first drawer 10.

[0042] In some embodiments, the second cavity 12 includes a bottom wall 13 connected between the two first side walls 14 to form a first opening 12a. The sliding groove 21 is arranged on the first side wall 14, and the sliding groove 21 is an arc-shaped groove extending towards the bottom wall 13 and the first opening 12a at two ends respectively.

[0043] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 The two first side walls 14 of the second cavity 12 are each provided with a sliding groove 21, and the sliding groove 21 includes a first end 211 and a second end 212 arranged oppositely. The sliding groove 21 is an arc-shaped groove extending towards the bottom wall 13 and the first opening 12a at the first end 211 and the second end 212 respectively. When the sliding piece 22 is located at the first end 211 of the sliding groove 21, the second drawer 30 is in the first relative position of the first drawer 10, and the second drawer 30 is in the closed state relative to the first drawer 10. When the sliding piece 22 is located at the second end 212 of the sliding groove 21, the second drawer 30 is in the second relative position of the first drawer 10, and the second drawer 30 is in the open state relative to the first drawer 10.

[0044] When the second drawer 30 is in the closed state relative to the first drawer 10 and needs to be opened, flipping the second drawer 30 can drive the sliding piece 22 to slide from the first end 211 of the sliding groove 21 to the second end 212, so that the second drawer 30 is opened relative to the first drawer 10. The connecting assembly 20 has a simple structure and is easy to operate, and the process of opening or closing the second drawer 30 does not need to operate the first drawer 10, which can improve the opening or closing efficiency of the second drawer 30, thereby improving the taking and placing efficiency of the articles in the second drawer 30.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first drawer 10 also has a third cavity 15 located at the top of the second cavity 12; the first cavity 11 has a second opening 11a, and the third cavity 15 has a third opening 15a, and the second opening 11a and the third opening 15a are arranged on the same side.

[0046] The second cavity 12 and the third cavity 15 are arranged along a third direction Z-Z. The third direction Z-Z is parallel to the arrangement direction of the top and the bottom of the refrigerator, and is perpendicular to the first direction X-X and the second direction Y-Y. By forming the first drawer 10 with multiple storage spaces such as the first cavity 11, the second cavity 12, and the third cavity 15, the multiple storage spaces can store different items as needed, for example, the items can be stored according to the size of the volume of the items or the category of the items, which can better classify the items and improve the visibility of the items, not only reducing the risk of forgetting the items, but also helping to reduce the repeated purchase of the items. The items in the second cavity 12 are located in the second drawer 30.

[0047] The third opening 15a of the third cavity 15 is located on the side of the third cavity 15 away from the second cavity 12. The third opening 15a is located above the third cavity 15, and the second opening 11a is located above the first cavity 11. By arranging the second opening 11a and the third opening 15a on the same side, and arranging the second opening 11a and the third opening 15a above the first cavity 11 and the third cavity 15 respectively, when the first drawer 10 is in the open state, the user can place items in the first cavity 11 or the third cavity 15 through the second opening 11a or the third opening 15a, or take out items from the first cavity 11 or the third cavity 15 through the second opening 11a or the third opening 15a, which can improve the efficiency of placing and taking out the items.

[0048] It should be noted that the opening and closing of the first drawer 10 does not affect the position of the second drawer 30 in the second cavity 12. For example, when the first drawer 10 is in the closed state and the second drawer 30 is in the first relative position of the first drawer 10, opening the first drawer 10, the second drawer 30 is still in the first relative position of the first drawer 10.
