[0046] Understandably, the guide groove 114 of this application is disposed on the outer wall 113 of the drawer 110, and the outer wall 113 is located outside the storage space 111; the connecting end of the divider 120 is slidably connected to the guide groove 114 outside the storage space 111. In this way, the divider 120 will not occupy the storage space 111.
[0047] The drawer assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment, on the one hand, enables the free division of the storage space 111 in the horizontal direction by adding a divider 120 that can slide along a preset direction above the storage space 111; on the other hand, the divider 120 is slidably connected to the guide groove 114 outside the storage space 111, which can avoid occupying the storage space 111 and affecting the storage capacity of the storage space 111. In addition, the divider 120 in this application has a simple structure and is easy to operate, which helps to provide users with a better user experience.
[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the drawer structure provided in an embodiment of this application. The drawer 110 includes a base plate 115, circumferential side plates 116, and an extension plate 117. The circumferential side plates 116 surround the base plate 115 to form a storage space 111. The extension plate 117 is bent and connected to the side of the circumferential side plate 116 away from the base plate 115, and extends in a direction away from the storage space 111. A guide groove 114 is provided on the extension plate 117. Optionally, the extension plate 117 is perpendicular to the circumferential side plates 116. It should be noted that the circumferential side plates 116 and the base plate 115 form the aforementioned inner wall 112 facing the storage space 111; the circumferential side plates 116 and the base plate 115 form the aforementioned outer wall 113 facing the storage space 111 and the extension plate 117. Preferably, the extension plate 117 includes a mounting outer wall 117a facing away from the base plate 115, and a guide groove 114 is disposed on the mounting outer wall 117a. It is understood that the opening of the guide groove 114 faces away from the base plate 115. In this way, the sliding connection between the partition 120 and the guide groove 114 can be facilitated, and the complexity of the structure of the partition 120 can also be reduced.
[0049] For further details, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the drawer assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. The guide slide 114 includes a first groove 1141 extending along a first direction H1, and the divider 120 includes a first rod 121 extending along a second direction H2. The first rod 121 is disposed above the storage space 111 and slidably connected to the first groove 1141, so that the first rod 121 can slidably change the area division of the storage space 111 along the first direction H1, where the first direction H1 is different from the second direction H2. Optionally, the first direction H1 is perpendicular to the second direction H2.
[0050] To improve the sliding stability and structural strength of the first rod 121, optionally, both ends of the first rod 121 are connected to first sliders 122, and two first grooves 1141 are formed on the outer wall 113. The two first grooves 1141 are arranged parallel to each other, and the first sliders 122 at both ends are slidably connected to the two first grooves 1141 in a one-to-one correspondence. For example, as shown... Figure 3 Along the second direction H2, the extension plate 117 includes a first plate 1171 and a second plate 1172 respectively disposed on opposite sides of the storage space 111. First grooves 1141 are respectively disposed on the first plate 1171 and the second plate 1172, the first grooves 1141 on the first plate 1171 and the second plate 1172 being parallel to each other and their openings facing away from the bottom plate 115. The first rod 121 includes two parallel sub-rods, the adjacent ends of which are connected by first sliders 122. One of the two first sliders 122 is slidably connected to the first groove 1141 on the first plate 1171, and the other is slidably connected to the first groove 1141 on the second plate 1172.
[0051] Optionally, the guide groove 114 further includes a second groove 1142 extending along a third direction H3, and the separator 120 further includes a second rod 123 extending along a fourth direction H4; the second rod 123 and the first rod 121 are stacked above the storage space 111, and the second rod 123 is slidably connected to the second groove 1142 so that the second rod 123 can slidably change the area division of the storage space 111 along the third direction H3, wherein the first direction H1 is different from the third direction H3, and the third direction H3 is different from the fourth direction H4. Optionally, the first direction H3 is perpendicular to the second direction H4. Preferably, the first direction H1 is the same as the fourth direction H4, and the third direction H3 is the same as the second direction H2.
[0052] To improve the sliding stability and structural strength of the second rod 123, optionally, both ends of the second rod 123 are connected to second sliders 124, and two second grooves 1142 are formed on the outer wall 113. The two second grooves 1142 are arranged parallel to each other, and the second sliders 124 at both ends are slidably connected to the two second grooves 1142 in a one-to-one correspondence. For example, Figure 3Along the fourth direction H4, the extension plate 117 includes a third plate 1173 and a fourth plate 1174 respectively disposed on opposite sides of the storage space 111. A second groove 1142 is disposed on both the third plate 1173 and the fourth plate 1174, the second grooves 1142 on the third plate 1173 and the fourth plate 1174 being parallel to each other and their openings facing away from the bottom plate 115. The second rod 123 includes two parallel sub-rods, the adjacent ends of which are connected by a second slider 124. One of the two second sliders 124 is slidably connected to the second groove 1142 on the third plate 1173, and the other is slidably connected to the second groove 1142 on the fourth plate 1174.
[0053] It should be noted that the first rod 121 and the second rod 123 can be a single unit or multiple units. The first rod 121 and the second rod 123 can also be designed as telescopic rods to accommodate drawers of different sizes.
[0054] In some embodiments, the drawer assembly 100 further includes a fastener 130, which defines a first channel 131 extending along a second direction H2 and a second channel 132 extending along a fourth direction H4. A first rod 121 passes through the first channel 131, and a second rod 123 passes through the second channel 132, so that the fastener 130 is adapted to slide along the first rod 121 and / or the second rod 123. The fastener 130 is used to fix the first rod 121 and the second rod 123 relative to each other, thereby improving the structural stability of the divider 120. It should be noted that when there are multiple first rods 121 and / or second rods 123, each first rod 121 may be connected to multiple second rods 123 by a fastener 130, or a portion of the first rods 121 may be connected to a portion of the second rods 123 by a fastener 130; no specific limitation is made here.
[0055] For example, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the fastener provided in an embodiment of this application. The fastener 130 includes a base 133, a first latch 134, a second latch 135, and a handle 136. The base 133 includes a first surface 1331 and a second surface 1332 disposed opposite to each other. The first latch 134 is disposed on the first surface 1331, and the second latch 135 is disposed on the second surface 1332. The first latch 134 and the first surface 1331 form a first channel 131, and the second latch 135 and the second surface 1332 form a second channel 132.
[0056] In some embodiments, to facilitate manual sliding of the first rod 121 and the second rod 123 by the user, a handle 136 can be provided on the fixing member 130. The handle 136 can be disposed on the first surface 1331 or the second surface 1332. In this way, the user can pinch the handle 136 and control the handle 136 to move along the second direction H2 or along the fourth direction H4 to drive the first rod 121 or the second rod 123 to slide relative to the guide groove 114, thereby adjusting the division of the storage space 111.
[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is another structural schematic diagram of the drawer assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. The drawer assembly 100 also includes a first partition 141 and / or a second partition 142.
[0058] The first partition 141 is disposed in the storage space 111. The first partition 141 is adapted to be connected to the first rod 121. The first rod 121 is used to slide the first partition 141 to move within the storage space 111, thereby changing the division of the storage space 111 into different areas. Optionally, the first partition 141 and the first rod 121 are correspondingly disposed, with each first partition 141 connected to one first rod 121. For example, the first partition 141 is disposed perpendicular to the bottom plate 115 in the storage space, and the horizontal extension direction of the first partition 141 is the same as the extension direction of the first rod 121. The first partition 141 and the first rod 121 can be detachably connected, allowing the user to choose to install or remove the first partition 141 according to actual needs.
[0059] A second partition 142 is disposed in the storage space 111. The second partition 142 is adapted to be connected to a second rod 123. The second rod 123 is used to slide the second partition 142 within the storage space 111 to change the division of the storage space 111 into different areas. Optionally, the second partition 142 and the second rod 123 are correspondingly disposed, with each second partition 142 connected to one second rod 123. For example, the second partition 142 is disposed perpendicular to the bottom plate 115 in the storage space, and the horizontal extension direction of the second partition 142 is the same as the extension direction of the second rod 123. The second partition 142 and the second rod 123 can be detachably connected, allowing the user to choose to install or remove the second partition 142 according to actual needs.
[0060] Optionally, the drawer assembly 100 also has a first partition 141 and a second partition 142. The first partition 141 includes a plurality of first limiting rods 1411 extending along a second direction H2. The plurality of limiting rods 1411 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the depth direction of the drawer 110, and the ends of two adjacent limiting rods 1411 on the same side are connected to form a plurality of first guide holes 1412. The second partition 142 includes a plurality of second limiting rods 1421 extending along a fourth direction H4. The plurality of second limiting rods 1421 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the depth direction of the drawer 110, and the ends of two adjacent second limiting rods 1421 on the same side are connected to form a plurality of second guide holes 1422. In this configuration, a first limiting rod 1411 passes through a corresponding second guide hole 1422, and the first limiting rod 1411 is adapted to move along its guiding direction within the second guide hole 1422; and a second limiting rod 1421 passes through a corresponding first guide hole 1412, and the second limiting rod 1421 is adapted to move along its guiding direction within the first guide hole 1412. This avoids interference between the first partition 141 and the second partition 142 when the first rod 121 and the second rod 123 move relative to each other.
