[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of the storage component 100 of a refrigerator 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the storage component 100 of the refrigerator 1000 includes a base 10, at least one first storage box 20, and at least one second storage box 30. The bottom walls of each first storage box 20 and each second storage box 30 have the same dimensions and are configured to match the accommodating width of the base 10 in a direction along opposite sides, such that at least one first storage box 20 and at least one second storage box 30 can be placed side-by-side along the accommodating length of the base 10; and the height of the second storage box 30 is a predetermined integer multiple of the height of the first storage box 20, such that a predetermined integer number of first storage boxes 20 stacked vertically are flush with the second storage box 30. Here, the predetermined integer multiple can be two times, three times, or four times, etc., where vertical refers to the up-down direction.

[0044] In some embodiments, the area above the base 10 is empty, meaning the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 are not installed. This is one storage mode of the storage component 100, where food or items can be placed directly on the base 10. The first storage box 20 or the second storage box 30 being installed individually on the base 10 is also one storage mode of the storage component 100. The first storage box 20 and / or the second storage box 30 can be vertically overlapped on the base 10, which is also one storage mode of the storage component 100. For example, multiple first storage boxes 20 can be vertically overlapped, or multiple second storage boxes 30 can be vertically overlapped, or the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 can be vertically overlapped. Additionally, the first storage box 20 and / or the second storage box 30 can also be installed side-by-side on the base 10 along its length. For example, multiple first storage boxes 20 are installed side by side on the base 10, or multiple second storage boxes 30 are installed side by side on the base 10, or the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 are installed side by side on the base 10. This is also a storage mode of the storage component 100.

[0045] This embodiment allows for multiple storage modes of the storage component 100 through different combinations of the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30. Users can flexibly arrange the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 according to their needs, which not only improves the user experience but also effectively and rationally plans the internal storage space of the refrigerator 1000. In some embodiments, the base 10 is arranged along the front-to-back direction of the refrigerator 1000, that is, the base 10 extends along the front-to-back direction of the refrigerator 1000, the accommodating length of the base 10 is the length along the front-to-back direction of the refrigerator 1000, and the accommodating width of the base 10 is the width along the left-to-right direction of the refrigerator 1000. If the first storage box 20 and / or the second storage box 30 are arranged side by side on the base 10, they are also arranged side by side along the front-to-back direction of the refrigerator 1000. In other embodiments, the base 10 can also be arranged along the left-to-right direction of the refrigerator 1000, that is, the base 10 extends along the left-to-right direction of the refrigerator 1000. If the first storage box 20 and / or the second storage box 30 are arranged side by side on the base 10, they are also arranged side by side along the left and right direction of the refrigerator 1000.

[0046] In some embodiments, each first storage box 20 and each second storage box 30 are configured such that their dimension along the accommodating length of the base 10 is half the accommodating length. When two first storage boxes 20 are arranged side-by-side on the base 10 along the accommodating length, they do not protrude from the base 10. The front side of the first storage box 20 closest to the refrigerator 1000 is flush with the front side of the base 10, and the left and right sides of the first storage box 20 are respectively flush with the left and right sides of the base 10, which improves the aesthetics of the storage assembly 100. Furthermore, it does not affect the normal opening and closing of the refrigerator 1000 door.

[0047] In other embodiments, the length of the first storage box 20 along the base 10 can be determined according to specific design requirements. For example, the length of the first storage box 20 along the base 10 can be set to two-thirds, one-third, or the same amount as the length of the base 10. Furthermore, the length of the first storage box 20 along the base 10 can be designed in conjunction with the length of the second storage box 30 along the base 10 to improve the compatibility between the two storage boxes.

[0048] In some embodiments, there are two first storage boxes 20. The two first storage boxes 20 are placed side by side along the accommodating length of the base 10; or the two first storage boxes 20 are stacked vertically on the base 10. It should be noted that the storage component 100 has a second storage box 30, but according to the user's needs, the second storage box 30 can be omitted, and only the first storage box 20 can be used.

[0049] Figure 2This is a schematic structural diagram of the storage component 100 in a first storage mode according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, when the two first storage boxes 20 are installed side by side on the base 10 along its length, the storage assembly 100 is in the first storage mode. Using the first storage mode indicates that the user does not need to store many items, and only the two first storage boxes 20 are required to meet their needs.

[0050] When the two first storage boxes 20 are stacked vertically on the base 10, the storage assembly 100 is in its second storage mode. Users can overlap the two first storage boxes 20 and place them on the base 10 near the rear of the refrigerator 1000. After the two first storage boxes 20 are installed, food or other items can be placed in front of them, making efficient use of the refrigerator 1000's storage space.

[0051] In other embodiments, the number of first storage boxes 20 may also be set to three, four, five, or six, etc.

[0052] When there are three first storage boxes 20, they can be stacked vertically on the base 10; or two first storage boxes 20 can be stacked vertically on the base 10, positioned near the rear of the refrigerator 1000, with the remaining first storage box 20 arranged side-by-side with the two stacked boxes along the length of the base 10, and the remaining first storage box 20 positioned near the front of the refrigerator 1000. In other words, when there are three first storage boxes 20, there are two arrangement methods: one is simply stacking, and the other is both stacking and side-by-side arrangement.

[0053] When there are four first storage boxes 20, they can be stacked vertically on the base 10; or two first storage boxes 20 can be stacked vertically on the base 10, and the remaining two first storage boxes 20 can also be stacked vertically on the base 10, then the stacked first storage boxes 20 are arranged side by side on the base 10 along the carrying length of the base 10; or three first storage boxes 20 can be stacked vertically on the base 10, and the remaining first storage box 20 is arranged side by side on the base 10 along the carrying length of the base 10 with the three vertically stacked first storage boxes 20, and the remaining first storage box 20 can be located on the base 10 near the front of the refrigerator 1000. In other words, when there are four first storage boxes 20, there are three arrangement methods: one is simply stacking, another is stacking in pairs and arranging side by side, and the last is stacking three and arranging one side by side.

[0054] Figure 3This is a schematic structural diagram of the storage component 100 in a third storage mode according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, when the base 10 is empty, that is, when the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 are not placed, the storage device is in the third storage mode. It should be noted that the storage component 100 in this embodiment has a first storage box 20 and a second storage box 30, but the user does not use the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 according to actual needs. The user can directly place food or items on the base 10.

[0055] In some embodiments, the length of the second storage box 30 along the front-rear direction of the refrigerator 1000 is the same as the length of the first storage box 20 along the front-rear direction of the refrigerator 1000, and both are half the length of the base 10 along the front-rear direction of the refrigerator 1000. The length of the second storage box 30 along the left-right direction of the refrigerator 1000 is the same as the length of the first storage box 20 along the left-right direction of the refrigerator 1000, and also the length of the base 10 along the left-right direction of the refrigerator 1000. When the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 are arranged side by side on the base 10, they do not protrude from the base 10. The front side of the storage box near the front of the refrigerator 1000 is flush with the front side of the base 10, and the left and right sides of the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 are also flush with the left and right sides of the base 10, thereby improving the aesthetics of the storage component 100 of the refrigerator 1000.

[0056] In some embodiments, there are two first storage boxes 20 and one second storage box 30.

[0057] Two first storage boxes 20 are stacked vertically and then placed side by side with a second storage box 30 along the accommodating length of the base 10, which is the fourth storage mode; or one first storage box 20 and a second storage box 30 are stacked vertically and then placed side by side with another first storage box 20 along the accommodating length of the base 10, which is the fifth storage mode.

[0058] Figure 4 This is a schematic structural diagram of the storage component 100 in a fourth storage mode according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, a second storage box 30 is located on the base 10 near the rear of the refrigerator 1000, and two first storage boxes 20 are stacked vertically in front of the first storage boxes 20. In other embodiments, the two first storage boxes 20 can also be stacked vertically on the base 10 near the rear of the refrigerator 1000, and the second storage box 30 can be stacked vertically in front of the first storage boxes 20, depending on the user's needs.

[0059] Figure 5This is a schematic structural diagram of the storage component 100 in a fifth storage mode according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, a second storage box 30 is located on the base 10 near the rear of the refrigerator 1000. One of the two first storage boxes 20 is arranged vertically overlapping above the second storage box 30, and the other first storage box 20 is arranged side-by-side along the accommodating length of the base 10 in front of the second storage box 30. In other embodiments, the two first storage boxes 20 can also be arranged side-by-side along the accommodating length of the base 10 on the base 10, and then the second storage box 30 is arranged vertically overlapping above one of the first storage boxes 20, preferably above the first storage box 20 near the rear of the refrigerator 1000, depending on the user's needs.

[0060] Figure 6 This is a schematic structural diagram of the storage component 100 in a sixth storage mode according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, there is one first storage box 20 and one second storage box 30. One first storage box 20 and one second storage box 30 are placed side by side along the accommodating length of the base 10, which is the sixth storage mode.

[0061] In some embodiments, the number of second storage boxes 30 can be set to two. The two second storage boxes 30 can be arranged side-by-side on the base 10 along its length, or they can be placed vertically overlapping on the base 10, depending on the user's needs. In other embodiments, the number of second storage boxes 30 can be three, four, or five, etc. It should be noted that the storage component 100 has a first storage box 20, but according to the user's needs, the first storage box 20 can be omitted, and only the second storage box 30 can be used.

[0062] In some embodiments, the second storage box 30 is located on the base 10 near the rear of the refrigerator 1000, and the first storage box 20 is located in front of the second storage box 30. In other embodiments, the user may also install the first storage box 20 on the base 10 near the rear of the refrigerator 1000 according to actual needs, and then place the second storage box 30 in front of the first storage box 20.

[0063] The storage component 100 in this embodiment can realize different customizable storage modes. Different storage modes can meet different needs such as tall bottles and sealing. Users can set it at will according to their own needs, which can improve the user experience and effectively utilize the storage space of the refrigerator 1000.

[0064] In some embodiments, the height of the second storage box 30 is twice the height of the first storage box 20. When two first storage boxes 20 are arranged overlapping vertically, their height is the same as that of a second storage box 30. Therefore, when two first storage boxes 20 are arranged overlapping vertically and then placed side by side with a second storage box 30, the top of the storage assembly 100 is flush, thereby improving the aesthetics of the storage assembly 100.

[0065] In other embodiments, the height of the second storage box 30 may be three or four times the height of the first storage box 20, etc.

[0066] Figure 7 This is a schematic structural diagram of the bottom of the first storage box 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 This is a schematic structural diagram of the top of the first storage box 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, each first storage box 20 and each second storage box 30 includes a box body 23 and a boss 21. The box body 23 has a bottom wall 231 and an annular side wall 232 connected to the periphery of the bottom wall 231 and forming an opening at the top. The top of the annular side wall 232 has a step 22 formed by a longitudinal recess. The boss 21 is formed by a longitudinal protrusion from the bottom wall 231 and overlaps the step 22 so that the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 are stacked longitudinally.

[0067] This embodiment designs steps 22 on the top of the annular sidewalls 232 of the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30, and designs bosses 21 on the bottom walls 231. The cooperation of the steps 22 and the bosses 21 can ensure the stability of the two storage boxes after they are stacked vertically and will not shift.

[0068] In some embodiments, each first storage box 20 and each second storage box 30 is cuboid, which can be a cube or a cuboid. In other embodiments, the shapes of the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 can also be designed according to the user's specific needs, for example, they can be cylindrical. In addition, the number of first storage boxes 20 and second storage boxes 30 can also be designed according to the user's specific needs.

[0069] In some embodiments, when both the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 are cuboids, taking the first storage box 20 as an example, the boss 21 is square, and the dimensions of the four sides of the boss 21 are all smaller than the dimensions of the corresponding sides of the first storage box 20.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, the dimensions of the four sides of the boss 21 to the corresponding sides of the first storage box 20 are all the same.

[0071] In some embodiments, taking the first storage box 20 as an example, the design of the step 22 at the top of the annular sidewall 232 of the first storage box 20 needs to satisfy that the boss 21 of the upper first storage box 20 can be attached to the step 22 of the lower first storage box 20.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment, the protrusion height of the boss 21 can be designed to match the depth of the recess of the step 22, ensuring that there is no obvious gap between the two first storage boxes 20 when viewed from the outside, thereby improving the aesthetics of the storage assembly 100. Furthermore, the step 22 of the second storage box 30 is designed to be identical to the step 22 of the first storage box 20, enabling the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 to be stacked.

[0073] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 are identical in design except for their height.

[0074] In some embodiments, the top of the base 10 is provided with a plurality of longitudinally protruding limiting structures. These limiting structures are arranged side-by-side along the accommodating length of the base 10. Each limiting structure is configured to surround the outer periphery of the boss 21 when the first storage box 20 or the second storage box 30 is located on it, thereby limiting the first storage box 20 or the second storage box 30. Here, there are two limiting structures, which are square in shape, and the size of the limiting structures is larger than the size of the boss 21. When the first storage box 20 or the second storage box 30 is located on the limiting structure, the boss 21 is located inside the limiting structure, which can limit the first storage box 20 or the second storage box 30 and prevent it from moving.

[0075] In some embodiments, the end of the base 10 has a handle 11 for user operation, allowing the user to manually operate the handle 11 to move the base 10 along its length. That is, the user can operate the handle 11 to pull the base 10 out like a drawer, improving the convenience of storage. Here, the bottom of the base 10 is provided with a slide rail. See also Figure 1 Users can pull the base 10 by directly operating the bottom of the handle 11.

The height of the partition 330 is the same as the height of the two second drawers 320 after they are stacked. The height of the first drawer 310 is the same as the height of the second drawers 320. When the second storage box 30 is installed on the base 10, the height of the second storage box 30 is the same as the height of the upper second drawer 320. After the two first storage boxes 20 are stacked vertically, the height of the upper first storage box 20 is the same as the height of the upper second drawer 320, thereby improving the aesthetics of the internal structure of the refrigerator 1000.

[0079] In other embodiments, the two second drawers 320 can be arranged overlapping vertically. The first drawer 310 is located to the left of the lower second drawer 320, the storage component 100 is arranged above the first drawer 310, and the partition 330 is located to the left of the first drawer 310. The specific arrangement can be customized according to the user's needs.

[0080] In some embodiments, the length of the second drawer 320 along the left-right direction of the refrigerator 1000 is greater than the length of the first drawer 310 along the left-right direction of the refrigerator 1000. The length of the first drawer 310 along the left-right direction of the refrigerator 1000 is the same as the length of the first storage box 20 and the length of the second storage box 30 along the left-right direction of the refrigerator 1000.

[0081] In other embodiments, only one first drawer 310 and one second drawer 320 may be designed, arranged side-by-side along the left-right direction of the refrigerator 1000. Then, the first storage box 20 and / or the second storage box 30 of the storage assembly 100 are placed above the first drawer 310 and / or the second drawer 320. The first drawer 310 and the second drawer 320 may be designed to have the same dimensions, and the length of the base 10 along the left-right direction of the refrigerator 100 may be the sum of the lengths of the first drawer 310 and the second drawer 320 along the left-right direction of the refrigerator 100, with the base 10 installed above the first drawer 310 and the second drawer 320. The lengths of the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 along the left-right direction of the storage assembly 100 may be designed to be the same as the length of the first drawer 310 along the left-right direction of the refrigerator 100. This allows for the arrangement of two first storage boxes 20 side-by-side in the left and right directions of the refrigerator 1000, or one first storage box 20 and one second storage box 30.

[0082] The structure of the storage component 100 in this embodiment can be designed in conjunction with the internal structure of the refrigerator 1000, and can be used in conjunction with the internal structure of the refrigerator 1000, thereby making reasonable use of the storage space inside the refrigerator 1000.

[0083] In some embodiments, the storage assembly 100 may further include at least one third storage box, the length of which along the left-right direction of the refrigerator 1000 is the same as the length of the base 10 along the left-right direction of the refrigerator 1000, and the length of which along the front-back direction of the refrigerator 1000 is the same as the length of the base 10 along the front-back direction of the refrigerator 1000. This can be understood as the bottom wall dimension of the third storage box being the same as the dimension of the base 10 of the storage assembly 100.

[0084] In some embodiments, the third storage box also has a step 22 and a boss 21 with the same structure as the first storage box 20. In order to be used with the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30, the bottom wall of the third storage box can be provided with two bosses 21, with a gap between the two bosses 21, and the size of each boss 21 is the same as the size of the boss 21 of the first storage box 20.

[0085] When the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30 are not placed on the base 10 of the storage component 100, the third storage box can be placed directly on the base 10. When the two first storage boxes 20 are arranged side by side on the base 10 along the front-back direction of the refrigerator 1000, the third storage box can be stacked on top of the two first storage boxes 20.

[0086] In some embodiments, the length of the third storage box along the height direction of the refrigerator 1000 is the same as the length of the first storage box 20 along the height direction of the refrigerator 1000. When the third storage box is stacked on top of the first storage box 20, the top of the third storage box is flush with the top of the upper second drawer 320, which can improve the overall aesthetics of the internal structure of the refrigerator 1000.

[0087] In some embodiments, there are two third storage boxes, which can be arranged overlappingly on the base 10 in a vertical direction. When two third storage boxes are installed, it is not necessary to install the first storage box 20 and the second storage box 30.

[0088] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although many exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and recognized as covering all such other variations or modifications.
