[0002] In the field of modern refrigeration technology, as a low-temperature storage device widely used in many scenes such as family, business and industry, the basket inside the refrigerator plays a key role in the storage and arrangement of goods. With the improvement of people's living standards and the increasing diversification of business activities, the functional requirements of the refrigerator basket are also rising.

[0003] The traditional refrigerator basket basically adopts a fixed volume structure in design. In the family use scene, when the consumer needs to refrigerate large-volume food such as whole roasted chicken and large cakes, it is often found that the space of the refrigerator basket is cramped, and it is difficult to completely accommodate these goods. It is necessary to cut or squeeze the goods, which not only damages the integrity of the goods, but also may affect their refrigeration and preservation effect. On the contrary, when storing small-volume and indefinite-quantity goods such as fruits, vegetables and beverage cans, the excessive volume of the basket leads to waste of the internal space of the refrigerator, which unnecessarily occupies the storage space of other goods, reducing the overall storage efficiency of the refrigerator. Secondly, the fixed-volume basket is also difficult to optimize the use of space when loading refrigerated goods of different volumes, which may lead to the inability to fix the refrigerated goods during transportation, thereby increasing the risk of damage to the goods.
