Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage box technology, and in particular to a sealed fruit and vegetable box for refrigerators. Background Technology

[0002] A refrigerator-sealed crisper drawer is a sealed container installed inside the refrigerator, primarily used to maintain the humidity and temperature inside the refrigerator to extend the freshness of fruits and vegetables. Compared to ordinary crisper drawers, refrigerator-sealed crisper drawers have better sealing properties, effectively preventing airflow inside the refrigerator, reducing moisture evaporation and oxidation of fruits and vegetables, thereby extending their freshness.

[0003] Currently, refrigerator freezer crispers often use a one-piece molded design due to the strict requirements for sealing performance. While this design ensures airtightness, it limits the flexibility of the internal space, making it impossible to sort and stack fruits. This not only increases the difficulty for users to find and take out specific fruits, but also prolongs the operation time and reduces the efficiency of use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 As one embodiment of the present invention, a sealed fruit and vegetable box for refrigerators is provided, including a main body unit 100 and a partition unit 200.

[0026] The main unit 100 includes a box body 101 and a box cover 102 that is matched and installed with the box body 101. A base 103 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body 101, and a handle 104 is provided at the top of the box cover 102. When fruits and vegetables are placed into the inner cavity of the box body 101, the box cover 102 covers the top of the box body 101.

[0027] The partition unit 200 includes rotating rods 205 symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the box body 101. A partition plate 201 is installed on the outer surface of the rotating rods 205. A mounting groove 207 is formed at the bottom end of the partition plate 201. Guide rods 208 are symmetrically installed in the inner cavity of the mounting groove 207. A connecting plate 209 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the guide rods 208. Springs 210 are sleeved on the outer surfaces of the two sets of guide rods 208, and the two ends of the springs 210 are fixed to the inner wall of the mounting groove 207 and the side wall of the connecting plate 209, respectively. The connection is as follows: a locking block 211 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 209, and a pull rod 203 is installed at the top of the connecting plate 209. A slot 206 is provided on the inner wall of the box 101, and the slot 206 and the locking block 211 are engaged. A limiting groove 204 is provided at the bottom of the base 103, and the limiting groove 204 and the locking block 211 are engaged. The inner cavity of the mounting groove 207 is provided with a guide structure. When it is necessary to adjust the internal space layout of the box 101, the user can pull the pull rod 203. This action will cause the pull rod to move. The connecting plate 209 moves smoothly upward along the guide rod 208 while compressing the spring 210. During this process, the guide structure ensures that the movement of the connecting plate 209 is both smooth and stable. As the connecting plate 209 rises, it causes the locking block 211 to retract into the connecting plate, thereby disengaging the locking block 211 from its original slot 206. This change allows the partition plate 201 to be rotated to a vertical position. Once the required spatial adjustment is completed and the tension on the pull rod 203 is released, the spring 210 returns to its original shape due to its elastic properties, pushing the connecting plate 209 downward. As the connecting plate 209 descends, the locking block 211 is also brought into the limiting groove 204 on the base 103, thereby achieving a stable fixation of the partition plate 201. This design allows the internal space of the box 101 to be effectively divided into two parts, solving the problem that refrigerator sealed fruit and vegetable boxes are often made in one piece due to sealing requirements, resulting in inflexible space, difficulty in classifying and placing fruits, increased difficulty and time in retrieving items, and reduced efficiency.

[0028] The guide structure includes symmetrically opened slide grooves 212 on the inner wall of the mounting groove 207. Rollers 213 are rolled in the inner cavity of the two sets of slide grooves 212, and one side of the two sets of rollers 213 is fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting plate 209. When the connecting plate 209 moves, it will pull the rollers 213 to roll in the slide grooves 212, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the connecting plate 209 when it moves.

[0029] The top of the isolation plate 201 has a through hole, and the through hole is slidably connected to the pull rod 203, so that the pull rod 203 can be pulled.

[0030] A limiting block 202 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the box 101, and the isolation plate 201 is in a vertical state and fits against one side of the limiting block 202. When the isolation plate 201 is in close contact with the right side of the limiting block 202 during rotation, it indicates that it has successfully reached the vertical state. This design ensures that the isolation plate 201 can be quickly and accurately positioned in a vertical position.

[0031] All four sides of the lid 102 are hinged with clips 105, and the clips 105 are locked onto the edge of the box body 101 to complete the installation of the lid 102.

[0032] The top of the base 103 is equipped with several sets of drainage holes 106, and the several sets of drainage holes 106 are located on both sides of the limiting groove 204. Fruits and vegetables with water stains can be discharged through the drainage holes 106.

[0033] During use, when the internal space layout of the housing 101 needs to be adjusted, the user can pull the lever 203. This action will cause the lever 203 to pull the connecting plate 209 smoothly upward along the guide rod 208, while compressing the spring 210. During this process, the guide structure ensures that the movement of the connecting plate 209 is both smooth and stable. As the connecting plate 209 rises, it will cause the locking block 211 to retract into the connecting plate, thereby disengaging the locking block 211 from the original locking slot 206. This change allows the partition plate 201 to be rotated to a vertical position. Once the required space is adjusted, the partition plate 201 can be rotated to a vertical position. The tension on the pull rod 203 is adjusted and released, and the spring 210 returns to its original shape due to its elastic properties, pushing the connecting plate 209 downward. As the connecting plate 209 descends, the locking block 211 is also brought into the limiting groove 204 on the base 103, thereby achieving a stable fixation of the isolation plate 201. This design allows the internal space of the box 101 to be effectively divided into two parts, solving the problem that refrigerator sealed fruit and vegetable boxes are often made of one piece due to sealing requirements, resulting in inflexible space, difficulty in classifying and placing fruits, increased difficulty and time in retrieving items, and reduced efficiency.

[0034] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
