[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a convenient refrigerator drawer 100 for taking things, which is applied to a refrigerator, mainly used for adjusting the height of the storage tray 20 in the refrigerator drawer when the size of the storage space 11 is guaranteed, to facilitate users to store or take out articles, and to reduce the cost of the refrigerator and improve the overall performance of the refrigerator.

[0036] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the refrigerator drawer convenient for taking out objects comprises a drawer body 10, a tray 20, a driving member 30 and a guide structure 40, wherein the inside of the drawer body 10 is a containing space 11, the top of the drawer body 10 is a taking and placing opening 12; the tray 20 is movably installed in the containing space 11; the driving member 30 is arranged between the bottom of the tray 20 and the drawer body 10, and can push the tray 20 to have an upward trend; the guide structure 40 acts between the tray 20 and the drawer body 10, and guides the tray 20 to rise and fall. It needs to be explained that when the user stores objects that need to be placed at low temperature, especially in the freezing area at the lowermost layer, the user often needs to bend down to open the refrigerator door, then pull out the drawer body 10, and then place the objects to be stored in the drawer body 10. The whole process has many steps, and the objects placed in the lowermost layer are generally heavy, which consumes a lot of time and effort of the user, and affects the use experience. In the present application, the tray 20 and the driving member 30 are arranged, and the driving member 30 is arranged between the drawer body 10 and the bottom of the tray 20, so that the tray 20 can have an upward trend by the pushing of the driving member 30. When the user takes out the objects placed on the tray 20, as the objects on the tray 20 decrease, when the pushing force of the driving member 30 is greater than the gravity of the remaining objects on the tray 20, the driving member 30 can guide the tray 20 to slowly rise under the cooperation of the guide structure 40, so that the amplitude of the user bending down to take out objects decreases, and the structure occupies a smaller space. When the user places objects, the driving member 30 is pressed by the gravity of the objects, so that the driving member 30 is retracted, so that the storage space can be released, and the drawer body 10 can accommodate more objects. At the same time, the cost of the driving member 30 is lower, so that the refrigerator as a whole has higher cost performance.

[0037] Here, the guide structure 40 arranged can guide the tray 20 to rise and fall, so that the tray 20 can move stably during the rising or falling process, keep stable, prevent tilting and falling off, and thus improve the experience of the user to the structure.

[0038] In an embodiment, the drawer body 10 comprises a bottom wall 13 and side walls 14 distributed around the bottom wall 13, and the driving member 30 is located between the bottom wall 13 of the drawer body 10 and the tray 20, so as to drive the tray 20. When the gravity of the objects placed on the tray 20 is greater than the pushing force of the driving member 30, the tray 20 presses the driving member 30 to release more containing space 11. When the user takes out part of the objects, so that the gravity of the objects placed on the tray 20 is less than the pushing force of the driving member 30, the driving member 30 can push the tray 20 to slowly rise, so that the user no longer needs to bend down, and it is convenient to take out the objects on the tray 20.

[0039] As preferred, at least one of the bottom wall 13 and the tray 20 is provided with a positioning structure 31, for example, the bottom wall 13 is provided with a positioning slot 32, so that the driving member 30 can be positioned on one of the bottom wall 13 and the tray 20, avoiding unnecessary deviation.

[0040] Further, the side wall 14 has a first side wall 141 and a second side wall 142 oppositely arranged, so as to cooperate with the connecting guide structure 40.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the freezer area of the refrigerator is generally provided with a presser compartment, and the triangular area formed by the presser compartment needs to be avoided, so the drawer body 10 in this area is relatively deep and narrow, and after placing heavy objects, the tray 20 is placed at the deepest part of the drawer body 10, and the length and width of the tray 20 are consistent with the length and width of the deepest part of the drawer body 10, so that it can not occupy too much accommodation space 11.

[0042] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the driving member 30 is a spring, and the bottom end of the spring is placed in the corresponding positioning slot 32. By placing the spring in the corresponding positioning slot 32, it can be ensured that after the spring is completely compressed, the tray can reach the bottom end of the drawer body 10, so as to maximize the use of the accommodation space 11.

[0043] As preferred, the spring is a conical spring and has a relatively large end 33 and a small end 34, wherein the large end 33 abuts against the bottom wall 13, and the small end 34 abuts against the bottom of the tray 20. The conical spring has certain fatigue resistance and axial high pressure. When heavy objects are placed in the accommodation space 11, the objects will cause the tray to extrude the spring to deform, and the driving member 30 with a conical spring can continuously bear the deformation of the weight and reciprocate, thereby prolonging the service life of the driving member 30; and the spring structure is relatively stable, the conical structure enables it to be compressed to the smallest volume, which not only enables the driving member 30 to always stably push the tray 20, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the refrigerator drawer 100 for easy object taking, but also saves the size of the space occupied by the structure, thereby further maximizing the use of the accommodation space 11.

[0044] For example, the springs are arranged at intervals. Alternatively, the number of springs can be four, six, seven, or the like, of course, not limited thereto, and the specific number of springs can be determined according to actual use or user demand. Correspondingly, the number of positioning slots 32 is set one by one corresponding to the number of springs.

[0045] Further, the spring array is arranged in at least two rows and two columns. The array arrangement can make the structure more reasonable and evenly disperse the pushing force of the spring pairs on the tray 20 to ensure that the tray 20 will not tilt and the articles thereon will not fall off, further improving the stability of the structure. In the embodiment, the springs are arranged in four, and the array is arranged in two rows and two columns.

[0046] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 The guide structure 40 includes guide grooves 41 and guide portions 42. The guide grooves 41 are formed in the first side wall 141 and the second side wall 142, and the guide portions 42 are protruded on the edges of the two opposite sides of the tray 20, and each guide portion 42 slides into the corresponding guide groove 41. In this way, the guide portion 42 can always be located in the guide groove 41 during the lowering or jacking of the tray 20, so that it can be stably raised or lowered.

[0047] As a preferred, each of the first side wall 141 and the second side wall 142 is provided with at least two guide grooves 41, and the side edge of the tray 20 is provided with a corresponding guide portion 42 for each guide groove 41. The number of guide grooves 41 can be two, four, six, etc., of course, not limited to this, and the specific number of guide grooves 41 can be determined according to the actual use or user demand. In the embodiment, the guide grooves 41 are arranged in four, and the number of corresponding guide portions 42 is also arranged in four.

[0048] The application also provides a refrigerator drawer 100 for facilitating article taking, which comprises any of the above embodiments.

[0049] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. In order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist contradictory, they should be considered as the scope of the present application.

[0050] The above embodiments only express several embodiments of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of variations and improvements can be made, which are all within the scope of the present application.
