Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, and in particular to a refrigerator drawer and a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their demands for refrigerators are also increasing. They often need to categorize and store food, and refrigerators that simply use large drawers to categorize and store foods requiring refrigeration or freezing are no longer sufficient to meet user needs. Currently, existing refrigerators mainly use individual shelves to separate drawers; these shelves can be fixed or adjustable, thus dividing the drawers into two relatively independent spaces for user convenience. Alternatively, they use a linkage structure to allow for displacement and change in space, thereby achieving variable storage.

[0003] However, dividing a drawer into two independent spaces with a simple divider results in an unreasonable spatial layout that fails to meet users' diverse needs for categorized storage. On the other hand, the linkage structure is prone to deformation and damage, and its unstable fixing can cause deformation of the already separated spaces, affecting user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a refrigerator drawer and refrigerator that can meet users' diverse classification and storage needs, and whose structure is not easily deformed and can be firmly fixed.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A refrigerator drawer, the refrigerator drawer comprising:

[0007] The drawer body has an interior storage space and an open top.

[0008] A partition component is located in the accommodating space and divides the accommodating space into multiple unit areas. The partition component includes a first partition and a second partition that are plugged in. At least one of the first partition and the second partition is provided with a plug-in interface for inserting the other, and the two are provided with a locking structure that cooperates with each other at the plug-in part.

[0009] Understandably, this application divides the drawer's storage space into multiple unit areas by placing a dividing component within it, and incorporates a locking structure to securely lock the first and second partitions together, thus meeting user needs. In this way, the first and second partitions interlock, dividing the drawer's storage space into multiple compartments. Users can categorize and store various items without interference, and the locking structure ensures a secure and stable fit, preventing deformation and maintaining the volume of each compartment. This avoids squeezing or shifting of items within each compartment, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first partition comprises a plurality of spaced-apart blocks, wherein a base is connected between the bottoms of two adjacent blocks, and the partition and the base together form a U-shaped structure.

[0011] The inner wall of the drawer body is provided with a positioning groove, and the two opposite sides of the first partition are respectively placed into the positioning grooves on the corresponding sides.

[0012] Understandably, multiple first dividers can divide the drawer into multiple spaces, and the U-shaped structure is more robust and less prone to deformation. By combining the first dividers with the positioning grooves on the inner wall of the drawer, the stability of the structure is further increased, preventing the storage space created by the dividers from deforming.

[0013] In one embodiment, the second partition is one piece or multiple pieces arranged at intervals, each of the second partitions is provided with the insertion interface, and the number and position of the insertion interface correspond to each of the first partitions;

[0014] The first partition extends along a first direction, the second partition extends along a second direction, and the first partition and the second partition intersect perpendicularly.

[0015] Understandably, the second partition intersects the first partition perpendicularly and is fixed by a snap-fit ​​interface, which allows the drawer to be divided into several storage spaces to meet the user's diverse needs for categorized storage.

[0016] In one embodiment, a portion of the first partition in a first direction is an adapter segment, and the bottom of the insertion interface of the second partition is an open side and is inserted into the adapter segment via the open side.

[0017] Understandably, the connector of the second partition is inserted into the adapter section of the first partition so that the two are fixed in the drawer and the drawer is divided into multiple storage spaces.

[0018] In one embodiment, the adapter section has limiting portions on both sides along a first direction to restrict the position of the second partition; the limiting portions are upright reinforcing ribs and / or thickened portions relative to the adapter section.

[0019] Understandably, the limiting part facilitates the pre-alignment of the installation position of the second partition, and the reinforcing ribs and thickened parts can further strengthen the structure of the partition component, thereby ensuring the stability of the partition component structure and increasing its service life.

[0020] In one embodiment, along a first direction, the adapter segment is greater than the thickness of the second partition, allowing the second partition to move along the first direction; along the first direction, the second partition has a relative initial position and a locking position, the locking structure acting on the first partition and the second partition to hold the second partition in the locking position.

[0021] It is understandable that the thickness of the adapter section is greater than that of the second partition, so that the second partition has a certain amount of room to move on the adapter section, so that the second partition can be moved to the locking position and the partition assembly can be locked and fixed.

[0022] In one embodiment, the locking structure includes:

[0023] A locking seat is disposed on one of the first partition and the second partition, and the locking seat has a locking hole;

[0024] A locking tongue is disposed on the other of the first partition and the second partition, initially located outside the lock hole, and inserted into the lock hole in the locked position;

[0025] An elastic buckle is disposed on the same partition as the locking tongue. In the locked position, the elastic buckle acts on the locking seat to hold the locking tongue in the lock hole.

[0026] Understandably, the locking tongue is placed inside the locking seat, which enables the first and second partitions to be in a locked state, restricting the second partition from moving away from the first partition, that is, locking and fixing the two together; the elastic buckle is set to restrict the locking tongue to be fixed in the lock hole, further making the two locked firmly to ensure their locked state.

[0027] In one embodiment, the second partition has a stress relief port located near the resilient buckle.

[0028] Understandably, the stress relief port increases the allowable deformation of the elastic buckle, preventing it from deforming excessively and being damaged when acting on the locking seat, thus further increasing the service life of the structure.

[0029] In one embodiment, the refrigerator drawer further includes a cover plate that rests on the opening to cover the accommodating space. The top side of the cover plate has a settling area, and the bottom side has a corresponding boss structure, which is positioned at the opening.

[0030] Understandably, the lid structure not only seals the drawer contents and keeps the refrigerator drawers tidy, but the recessed area on the lid can also serve as a storage space for small items, increasing the available storage space.

[0031] This application also provides the following technical solutions:

[0032] A refrigerator comprising the refrigerator drawer described in any of the above embodiments.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the refrigerator drawer is divided into multiple unit areas by setting a partition component and placing it in the accommodating space inside the drawer. The drawer is also equipped with a locking structure to achieve mutual fixation and locking of the first and second partitions in the partition component. This not only meets the diverse storage needs of users, but also increases the structural sturdiness, making the multiple unit areas less prone to deformation and affecting user use.

The term "and / or" as used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0049] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This application provides a refrigerator drawer 100, which is applied inside a refrigerator and is mainly used to divide the internal storage space 11 of the refrigerator drawer 100 into multiple storage spaces to meet the diverse classification and storage needs of users. The volume of the multiple storage spaces is fixed by a locking structure 23 to avoid affecting the user experience and improve the stability of the structure.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the refrigerator drawer 100 includes a drawer body 10 and a divider assembly 20. The drawer body 10 has an interior space 11 and an open top 12. The divider assembly 20 is located in the interior space 11 and divides the interior space 11 into multiple unit areas. The divider assembly 20 includes a first partition 21 and a second partition 22 that interlock. At least one of the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 has an insertion interface 221 for inserting the other, and the two have a locking structure 23 that cooperates with each other at the insertion point. It should be explained that the space allocation in a conventional refrigerator drawer 100 is unreasonable, which is very inconvenient for users who need to classify and store food or other items, resulting in a poor user experience. Furthermore, the existing drawer divider structure is relatively simple or has the problem of difficulty in fixing the volume of the divider unit. In this application, a divider component 20 is placed within the accommodating space 11 of the drawer body 10, dividing it into multiple unit areas. A locking structure 23 is provided to achieve mutual locking of the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 in the divider component 20, thereby meeting user needs. In this way, the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 interlock, dividing the accommodating space 11 of the drawer body 10 into multiple storage spaces. Users can categorize and store various items without interference. Furthermore, the locking structure 23 ensures a secure and stable fit, preventing deformation and ensuring that the volume of the divided storage spaces remains unchanged. This avoids the squeezing or displacement of items within each space, thus improving the user experience.

[0051] Here, the number of unit areas that the partition component 20 divides the accommodating space 11 into can be four, six, or nine. Of course, the specific number of unit areas is not limited to this. The structure of the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 can be set according to the actual needs of the user. In this embodiment, the partition component 20 can divide the accommodating space 11 into nine unit areas to facilitate the user's classification and storage of items.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the drawer body 10 is provided with a positioning groove 13, and the two opposite sides of the first partition 21 are respectively placed in the corresponding positioning groove 13 so that the first partition 21 is fixed and convenient for the first partition 21 to be inserted and fixed.

[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the first partition 21 comprises multiple spaced-apart blocks, with a base 211 connecting the bottoms of two adjacent blocks, forming a U-shaped structure with the base 211. It is understood that this U-shaped structure makes the overall structure of the first partition 21 more robust and less prone to deformation, thereby preventing deformation of the storage space formed by the first partition 21 and the second partition 22, which could negatively impact the user experience.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first partition 21 has two spaced-apart pieces, which are connected by a base 211 to form a U-shaped structure. Of course, the number of first partitions 21 is not limited to this; it can be two, four, or six, depending on the specific application requirements.

[0055] Furthermore, the first partition 21 extends along the first direction x, and a portion of the first partition 21 in the first direction x is an adapter section 212. The adapter section 212 has limiting portions 213 on both sides along the first direction x to limit the position of the second partition 22, so that when the adapter section 212 cooperates with the second partition 22, the second partition 22 is limited and fixed, thereby further ensuring that the volume of each unit area remains unchanged, and avoiding the structure from squeezing the items stored in each unit area or causing the items in each unit area to shake and be damaged.

[0056] Preferably, the limiting part 213 is an upright reinforcing rib and / or a thickened part relative to the adapting section 212, so as to pre-fit the installation position of the second partition 22, enhance the stability of the structure, and increase the service life of the refrigerator drawer 100.

[0057] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 1 to 7The second partition 22 can be one piece or multiple pieces arranged at intervals. Each second partition 22 is provided with an insertion interface 221, and the number and position of the insertion interfaces 221 correspond to each first partition 21. The second partition 22 extends along the second direction y, and the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 intersect perpendicularly. Here, the number of second partitions 22 can be set to two, four, or six, depending on the user's needs. In this embodiment, there are two second partitions 22.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, each first partition 21 has two corresponding adapter segments 212, and each second partition 22 has two corresponding insertion interfaces 221, so that the first partition 21 can be vertically connected and cooperate with the second partition 22 to form multiple unit areas and meet the user's diverse classification and storage needs.

[0059] For example, the bottom of the insertion interface 221 of the second partition 22 is open and is inserted into the adapter section 212 via the open side.

[0060] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, along the first direction x, the thickness of the adapter segment 212 is greater than that of the second partition 22, allowing the second partition 22 to move along the first direction x; along the first direction x, the second partition 22 has a relative initial position and a locking position, and the locking structure acts on the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 to keep the second partition 22 in the locking position.

[0061] For example, the length of the adapter segment 212 in the first direction x is greater than the thickness of the second partition 22 in the second direction y, so that when the user needs more storage space, the second partition 22 can move along the first direction x to the locking position (see...). Figure 6 When the user needs less storage space, the second partition 22 can be released from the first partition 21, that is, the second partition 22 is in its initial state (see...). Figure 5 After that, the second partition 22 can be removed to reduce the storage space and increase the volume of the storage space.

[0062] Furthermore, the locking structure includes a locking seat 231, a locking tongue 232, and an elastic buckle 233. The locking seat 231 is disposed on one of the first partition 21 and the second partition 22, and the locking seat 231 has a locking hole 2311. The locking tongue 232 is disposed on the other of the first partition 21 and the second partition 22. In the initial position, it is located outside the locking hole 2311, and in the locked position, it is inserted into the locking hole 2311. The elastic buckle 233 and the locking tongue 232 are disposed on the same partition. In the locked position, the elastic buckle 233 acts on the locking seat 231 to retain the locking tongue 232 within the locking hole 2311. Thus, when the locking tongue 232 is placed inside the locking seat 231, it can make the first partition 21 and the second partition 22 locked, restricting the second partition 22 from moving away from the first partition 21, that is, locking and fixing the two together; the elastic buckle 233 can restrict the locking tongue 232 to be fixed in the lock hole 2311, further making the two locked firmly, so as to ensure its locked state.

[0063] Specifically, the locking seat 231 has a first side 2312 and a second side 2313 along the first direction x. In the initial position, the elastic buckle 233 is located on the first side 2312 of the locking seat 231. In the locked position, the elastic buckle 233 deforms and passes over the locking seat 231 and abuts against the second side 2313 of the locking seat.

[0064] like Figure 7 As shown, the second partition 22 has a stress relief port 2331 at the position adjacent to the elastic buckle 233, so as to increase the allowable deformation of the elastic buckle 233, which can prevent the elastic buckle 233 from being damaged due to excessive deformation when it acts on the locking seat 231, and further increase the service life of the structure.

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the refrigerator drawer 100 also includes a cover 30, which rests on the opening 12 to conceal the storage space 11. The top side of the cover 30 has a recessed area 31, and the bottom side correspondingly forms a boss structure 32, which is positioned at the opening 12. In this way, not only can the storage space 11 inside the drawer body 10 be sealed, keeping the items stored in the refrigerator drawer 100 isolated from other items in the refrigerator and maintaining cleanliness, but the recessed area 31 on the cover 30 can also serve as a storage place for small-capacity items, thereby increasing the available storage space.

[0066] This utility model also provides a refrigerator, including the refrigerator drawer 100 described in any of the above embodiments.

[0067] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0068] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
