Abstract

The utility model discloses a refrigerator drawer with limiting and guiding functions, which is installed on a refrigerator liner, a guiding rib extending along the front-back direction is formed on the lower surface of the refrigerator drawer in a protruding mode, the guiding rib comprises two rib strips which are separated left and right, and grooves are formed between the rib strips and the lower bottom surface of the refrigerator drawer. A boss capable of sliding in the groove is formed in the position, corresponding to the groove, of the refrigerator liner in a protruding mode. According to the refrigerator drawer, the boss is matched with the left groove and the right groove to limit the left-right direction when the refrigerator drawer is pushed in and pulled out, meanwhile, the supporting column is arranged to limit the drawer in and out, and therefore it is guaranteed that the drawer is located at the same position when the drawer is repeatedly pulled out and pushed in. The guiding structure and the limiting structure are both arranged on the refrigerator liner, an additional structure does not need to be added, and cost is reduced.

Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to a refrigerator drawer with a limiting and guiding function and a refrigerator, which belongs to the field of household appliance technology. Background technology:

[0002] Currently, 90-degree door opening has become the mainstream for refrigerators. The width of the refrigerator drawer must be reduced to allow it to be pulled out normally without interfering with the door. This results in the drawer liners on both sides being abnormally thick, which looks unpleasant. Furthermore, to facilitate pushing and pulling the drawer in and out, guide structures are usually added to the side liners, which increases the cost of the liners.

[0003] Therefore, it is indeed necessary to improve existing technologies to address their shortcomings. Utility model content:

[0004] This utility model provides a refrigerator drawer and refrigerator with a limiting and guiding function to solve the problems existing in the prior art, which facilitates the pushing and pulling of the drawer and reduces the cost of the refrigerator liner.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: a refrigerator drawer with a limiting and guiding function is installed on the refrigerator liner. A guide rib extending in the front-back direction is raised on the lower surface of the refrigerator drawer. The guide rib includes two ribs spaced apart from each other on the left and right. A groove is formed between the ribs and the bottom surface of the refrigerator drawer. A boss that can slide in the groove is raised at the position corresponding to the groove on the refrigerator liner.

[0006] Furthermore, the guide ribs comprise two sets: the set of guide ribs on the left side is adjacent to the left side wall of the refrigerator drawer, and the set of guide ribs on the right side is adjacent to the right side wall of the refrigerator drawer.

[0007] Furthermore, the groove includes a left groove and a right groove. The two ribs on the left side form a left groove between the left side and the bottom surface of the refrigerator drawer, and the two ribs on the right side form a right groove between the right side and the bottom surface of the refrigerator drawer.

[0008] Furthermore, the front ends of the left and right inner walls of the refrigerator liner are respectively raised to form support columns.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper ends of the left and right side walls of the refrigerator drawer are respectively raised to form protruding pillars.

[0010] The present invention also adopts the following technical solution: a refrigerator, characterized in that: it includes the aforementioned refrigerator drawer with limiting and guiding function.

[0011] This invention offers the following advantages: By using the engagement between the boss and the left and right grooves, the left and right directions of the refrigerator drawer are restricted during pushing and pulling. Simultaneously, a support column is provided to limit the drawer's movement during both pushing and pulling, ensuring that the drawer remains in the same position during repeated pulling and pushing. Since both the guiding and limiting structures are located on the refrigerator liner, no additional structures are needed, thus reducing costs. Attached image description:

[0013] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the refrigerator's inner liner.

[0014] Figure 3 This is a diagram showing the refrigerator drawer being pulled out.

[0015] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating how a refrigerator drawer is pushed in. Detailed implementation method:

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] This utility model relates to a refrigerator drawer with a limiting and guiding function, which is installed on the refrigerator liner 1. Two sets of guide ribs 20 extending in the front-to-back direction are raised on the lower surface of the refrigerator drawer 2. The guide ribs 20 on the left side are adjacent to the left side wall of the refrigerator drawer 2, and the guide ribs 20 on the right side are adjacent to the right side wall of the refrigerator drawer 2. Each set of guide ribs 20 includes two ribs 200 spaced apart on the left and right sides. The two ribs 200 on the left side form a left groove 201 with the lower bottom surface of the refrigerator drawer 2, and the two ribs 200 on the right side form a right groove 202 with the lower bottom surface of the refrigerator drawer 2.

[0018] The refrigerator liner 1 has protrusions at positions corresponding to the left groove 201 and the right groove 202, forming bosses 10 that can slide in the left groove 201 and the right groove 202.

[0019] Support columns 11 are formed by protrusions at the front ends of the left and right inner walls of the refrigerator liner 1, and protrusion columns 21 are formed at the upper ends of the left and right side walls of the refrigerator drawer 2.

[0020] This utility model features a refrigerator drawer with a limiting and guiding function. When pushed in and pulled out, the protrusion 10 slides within the left groove 201 and right groove 202, effectively preventing the drawer from wobbling left and right during the pulling process. During pulling out, when the protrusion 21 on the refrigerator drawer abuts against the support column 11, the support column 11 effectively prevents the drawer from being pulled further forward, thus limiting the drawer's pull-out position. During pushing in, when the front wall of the refrigerator drawer abuts against the support column 11, the support column 11 effectively prevents the drawer from being pushed further backward, thus limiting the drawer's push-in position. This utility model, by setting the support column 11 for limiting the drawer's pull-out and push-in, ensures that the drawer remains in the same position during repeated pull-out and push-in operations.

[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
