[0037] Example 1

[0038] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the present embodiment provides a storage device, which comprises a drawer 1, a supporting plate 2 and a first elastic member 3.

[0039] The drawer 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11, and the opening of the receiving groove 11 is located at the top of the receiving groove 11. In this embodiment, the first direction is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and correspondingly, the opening of the receiving groove 11 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11 are oppositely arranged in the first direction. The support plate 2 is horizontally arranged in the receiving groove 11.

[0040] The support plate 2 can move in the first direction in the receiving groove 11, and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11 and the opening of the receiving groove 11 are both spaced apart from the support plate 2. The first elastic member 3 is located between the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11 and the support plate 2, and the two ends of the first elastic member 3 abut on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11 and the support plate 2 respectively, so that the first elastic member 3 can support the support plate 2. The space between the support plate 2 and the opening of the receiving groove 11 can be used to accommodate food materials, so that the support plate 2 can adjust the size of the above-mentioned space by moving in the first direction.

[0041] When the food materials are put into the receiving groove 11 and supported on the support plate 2, the support plate 2 moves downward and presses the first elastic member 3 under the action of the gravity of the food materials, so that the space between the support plate 2 and the opening of the receiving groove 11 increases, which makes the support plate 2 have more space above to accommodate food materials.

[0042] In the process of taking the food materials out of the receiving groove 11, the first elastic member 3 gradually recovers, and the support plate 2 and the food materials both begin to gradually rise. However, as long as the first elastic member 3 has not completely recovered, the food materials will not completely separate from the support plate 2, and the support plate 2 can support the food materials to a certain extent, and correspondingly, the pulling force required by the user to lift the food materials will also be reduced accordingly, and the user will be more convenient to take the food materials out of the receiving groove 11.

[0043] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , a first guide groove 111 is formed on the side wall of the receiving groove 11, and the extension direction of the first guide groove 111 is generally along the first direction. The edge of the support plate 2 is provided with a guide rod 21, and the guide rod 21 is arranged in the first guide groove 111. The guide rod 21 cooperates with the first guide groove 111 to guide the movement of the support plate 2 in the first direction.

[0044] Based on the shape of the drawer 1 in this embodiment, the first guide groove 111 has a very small included angle with the first direction, so in order to ensure that the guide rod 21 is always at least partially located in the first guide groove 111 to continuously generate a guiding effect, one end of the guide rod 21 is located outside the receiving groove 11.

[0045] In some application scenarios, the distance between the food materials and the opening of the receiving groove 11 is large, and the user can only stretch his hand into the receiving groove 11 for a limited distance, which makes it difficult to grasp the food materials.

[0046] To solve the above-mentioned problems, referring toFigures 4-7 The storage device of the embodiment further comprises a handle 4, which is installed on the end of the guide rod 21 outside the storage groove 11. By pulling the handle 4, the support plate 2 in the storage groove 11 can be lifted, so that the food on the support plate 2 gradually rises and approaches the opening of the storage groove 11, thereby facilitating the user to take the food.

[0047] Referring to Figure 8 The handle 4 is provided with a locking piece 41, and the outer wall of the drawer 1 is provided with a plurality of locking ribs 12. The locking piece 41 is movably arranged on the handle 4, so that the locking piece 41 has a locking state and an unlocking state. When the locking piece 41 is in the unlocking state, the locking piece 41 is spaced apart from the locking ribs 12, so that the locking piece 41 avoids the locking ribs 12 to allow the support plate 2 to be lifted or pressed by the handle 4. When the locking piece 41 is in the locking state, the locking piece 41 abuts on the locking ribs 12 at least in the first direction, so that the support plate 2 is positioned in the first direction in the storage groove 11.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the locking piece 41 is in the locking state, the locking piece 41 abuts on the locking ribs 12 from bottom to top, at this time the elastic force of the first elastic piece 3 is greater than the gravity of the food, and the first elastic piece 3 is in an over-deformed state, so that the support plate 2 has a larger space above to accommodate food. When the locking piece 41 is switched from the locking state to the unlocking state, the support plate 2 can automatically rise by a distance to facilitate the user to take the food.

[0049] As a preferred solution, the handle 4 is rotatably arranged on the guide rod 21. When the locking piece 41 is in the unlocking state, the handle 4 can be rotated to make the locking piece 41 further away from the locking ribs 12, avoiding the user from being disturbed by the locking ribs 12 when pulling the handle 4.

[0050] Further preferably, the handle 4 and the guide rod 21 are connected in a damping manner, avoiding the handle 4 from rotating randomly on the guide rod 21, so as to improve the stability of the locking piece 41 in the locking state.

[0051] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 8 The handle 4 is further provided with an unlocking piece 42 and a second elastic piece 43, and the handle 4 is provided with an unlocking groove 44. The two ends of the second elastic piece 43 are arranged on the side wall of the unlocking groove 44 and the locking piece 41, respectively.

[0052] When the locking piece 41 is in the locking state, the locking piece 41 is at least partially located outside the unlocking groove 44 to allow the locking piece 41 to abut against the locking rib 12, while the second elastic piece 43 is in the undeformed state. When the locking piece 41 is in the unlocking state, the user presses the unlocking piece 42 to press the unlocking piece 42 against the locking piece 41, so that the locking piece 41 is at least partially located inside the unlocking groove 44, so that the locking piece 41 can avoid the locking rib 12. When the locking piece 41 is in the unlocking state, the locking piece 41 presses the second elastic piece 43, so that as long as the user releases the unlocking piece 42, the locking piece 41 can automatically move out of the unlocking groove 44 to allow the locking piece 41 to switch to the locking state again.

[0053] The locking piece 41 is provided with an unlocking surface 411, which is arranged to be inclined relative to the first direction when the locking piece 41 is in the locking state. The unlocking piece 42 is movably arranged on the handle 4 in the first direction, and the unlocking piece 42 can press the unlocking surface 411 by moving in the first direction to make the locking piece 41 move horizontally and separate from the locking rib 12.

[0054] Referring to Figure 5 The handle 4 includes a handle rod 45 for the user to grip when lifting, and the unlocking piece 42 is located on the handle rod 45. The user needs to grip the handle rod 45 when lifting or pressing the handle 4, and the user can press the unlocking piece 42 while gripping the handle rod 45 to keep the locking piece 41 in a stable unlocking state.
