[0040] The existing door sealing box structure mainly adopts a one-piece injection molding structure. However, refrigerators have different sizes, and it is necessary to invest a lot of mold opening costs if it is installed on refrigerators of different sizes. Some assembled structures use metal materials such as aluminum alloy, which leads to higher manufacturing and processing costs for the door sealing box.
[0041] In view of this, the present invention proposes a storage box 100.
[0042] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment of this utility model, the storage box 100 includes a first column 1, a second column 2, a top shell 3, a bottom plate 5, and a back plate 4. The first column 1 is provided with a first mounting groove 111; the second column 2 is disposed opposite to the first column 1 and is provided with a second mounting groove 211; the top shell 3 is fixedly connected to the first column 1 and the second column 2 respectively; the bottom plate 5 is fixedly connected to the first column 1 and the second column 2 respectively; the back plate 4 is installed between the first column 1 and the second column 2, and the opposite sides of the back plate 4 are respectively inserted into the first mounting groove 111 and the second mounting groove 211.
[0043] The first upright 1 and the second upright 2 are arranged opposite each other and are respectively provided with a first mounting groove 111 and a second mounting groove 211. The top shell 3 and the bottom plate 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the first upright 1 and the second upright 2. The back plate 4 is installed between the first upright 1 and the second upright 2, and the opposite sides of the back plate 4 are respectively inserted into the first mounting groove 111 and the second mounting groove 211. This design achieves a stable installation of the storage box 100 by inserting the two sides of the back plate 4 into the first mounting groove 111 and the second mounting groove 211 respectively. Moreover, the first upright 1, the second upright 2, the top shell 3, the bottom plate 5 and the back plate 4 are all formed by extrusion molding, which eliminates the cost of making different molds according to different sizes and reduces the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator door storage box 100.
[0044] Traditional refrigerator door sealing box structures have two main problems: first, the sealing box structure is mainly made of integral injection molding, which requires a large amount of mold development costs to adapt to refrigerators of different sizes; second, some assembly structures use metal materials such as aluminum alloy, resulting in high manufacturing and processing costs. To solve these problems, the inventors, after in-depth consideration, proposed a new storage box 100 design. By using extrusion molding for each component and by inserting the back plate 4 into the first mounting groove 111 and the second mounting groove 211 respectively, the high costs of mold development and processing of metal materials are avoided.
[0045] It should be noted that the first mounting groove 111 can be recessed into the surface of the first column 1, or it can be a track groove set on the first column 1. The opposite sides of the back plate 4 are respectively inserted into the first mounting groove 111 and the second mounting groove 211, thus achieving a stable installation of the storage box 100. The extrusion molding method allows these components to be produced in a unified manner, reducing mold opening costs, and the use of plastic materials further reduces manufacturing costs.
[0046] Furthermore, the top shell 3 can be fixed to the first column 1 and the second column 2 by screwing, plugging, or snapping. The base plate 5 can be fixed to the first column 1 and the second column 2 by screwing, plugging, or snapping, without specific limitations.
[0047] The first upright 1 and the second upright 2 are manufactured using plastic extrusion molding, and the top shell 3 and the bottom plate 5 can also be manufactured using the same process. The back plate 4 is securely connected by inserting into the first mounting slot 111 and the second mounting slot 211. The design of the entire storage box 100 simplifies the assembly process, and the standardized extrusion molding process avoids additional mold costs due to different refrigerator sizes.
[0048] Compared with existing technologies, this application successfully solves the problems of high mold opening and high processing costs for refrigerator door sealing boxes through innovative design and manufacturing processes. Existing technologies using integral injection molding or metal assembly methods are costly, while this application, through extrusion molding, not only reduces production costs but also improves manufacturing efficiency.
[0049] The technical solution of this utility model adopts the method of extruding and molding each component of the storage box 100 on the refrigerator door, and splicing and installing each component to replace the one-piece molding method. This makes it applicable to storage boxes 100 of different sizes of refrigerator doors. Furthermore, by inserting the back plate 4 into the first mounting groove 111 and the second mounting groove 211 respectively, the high mold opening cost and the high processing cost of metal materials are avoided.
[0050] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 as well as Figure 12 The first column 1 is provided with a first slot 112, and the second column 2 is provided with a second slot 212 corresponding to the first slot 112. The storage box 100 also includes a shelf 61, and the opposite sides of the shelf 61 are respectively inserted into the first slot 112 and the second slot 212.
[0051] These technical features, working together, add a shelf 61 to the storage box 100 for the classification and storage of items. Slots on the first upright 1 and the second upright 2 effectively secure the shelf 61, making it stable and not easily moved, thus ensuring that the shelf 61 can support items of a certain weight. Through this structural design, users can flexibly add or remove shelves 61 in the storage box 100 as needed to accommodate different storage requirements. In this embodiment, two shelves 61 are provided, thus dividing the space inside the storage box 100 into three layers through the cooperation of the two shelves 61 and the base plate 5, allowing users to store more items.
[0052] Specifically, the first slot 112 and the second slot 212 can be implemented in various forms, such as a continuous long slot or multiple short slots spaced apart. Similarly, the first slot 112 and the second slot 212 can also be track grooves protruding from the first post 1 and the second post 2, or they can be recessed into the first post 1 and the second post 2 respectively. The shelf 61 can be made of transparent or semi-transparent plastic material to facilitate observation of the items on the shelf 61. The sides of the shelf 61 can be designed with an insertable structure, which can be firmly fixed after being inserted into the first slot 112 and the second slot 212. Furthermore, the height and number of shelves 61 can be adjusted according to user needs to meet the storage requirements of items of different heights.
[0053] Therefore, the design of the slots on the first column 1 and the second column 2 allows the shelf 61 to be firmly fixed inside the storage box 100, thereby effectively increasing the flexibility of use of the storage box 100 and the convenience of storing items. More importantly, by providing slots for fixing the shelf 61, the manufacturing and assembly of the storage box 100 is simplified, and manufacturing efficiency is improved.
[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The first column 1 is provided with a first receiving groove 116, and the second column 2 is provided with a second receiving groove 215 corresponding to the first receiving groove 116. The storage box 100 also includes a baffle 62, which is fixedly installed on the upper side of the shelf 61. The opposite sides of the baffle 62 are respectively limited in the first receiving groove 116 and the second receiving groove 215.
[0055] Specifically, the first column 1 and the second column 2 are respectively provided with a first receiving groove 116 and a second receiving groove 215. These grooves are used to limit the two sides of the baffle 62. The baffle 62 is fixed to the upper side of the shelf 61. Through the limiting effect of the grooves, the baffle 62 can be stably installed in the storage box 100. The purpose of this design is to increase the partition structure inside the storage box 100, improve the stability of stored items, and prevent items from moving or tipping over during storage, thereby solving the problem of how to add a baffle 62 to the storage box 100 to improve the stability of stored items.
[0056] The baffle 62 can be made of various materials, such as plastic, metal, or composite materials, to meet different strength and durability requirements. The baffle 62 can be installed by screws, clips, or adhesive to the upper side of the shelf 61. The shape and size of the first receiving groove 116 and the second receiving groove 215 can be adjusted according to specific design requirements to ensure that the baffle 62 is firmly fixed within the groove after installation, preventing it from easily falling off or loosening.
[0057] This application adds a baffle 62 inside the storage box 100 and uses the first receiving groove 116 and the second receiving groove 215 to limit the baffle 62, making the internal structure of the storage box 100 more stable. Compared with the prior art, the design of this application can effectively prevent stored items from moving or tipping over inside the storage box 100, improve the stability of stored items, and enhance the practicality and safety of the storage box 100.
[0058] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2The first column 1 includes a first inner liner 11 and a first outer shell 12. The first inner liner 11 is fixedly installed on the first outer shell 12, and the first mounting groove 111 is disposed on the first inner liner 11. The second column 2 includes a second inner liner 21 and a second outer shell 22. The second inner liner 21 is fixedly installed on the second outer shell 22, and the second mounting groove 211 is disposed on the second inner liner 21.
[0059] Furthermore, this design separates the inner liner and outer shell, with mounting slots on the inner liner, enabling the storage box 100 to fit on refrigerators of different sizes. This avoids the high cost of mold opening required for a single injection-molded structure, while the separate design of the inner liner and outer shell also helps reduce manufacturing and processing costs.
[0060] Specifically, the inner lining and outer shell of the first column 1 and the second column 2 are fixedly installed separately. In this way, the storage box 100 can be adapted to refrigerators of different sizes, reducing mold costs. In addition, the separate design of the inner lining and outer shell simplifies manufacturing and processing, further reducing costs.
[0061] For example, the first inner liner 11 and the first outer shell 12 can be fixedly connected by means of clips, screws, etc., to ensure the stability of the structure. The connection method of the second inner liner 21 and the second outer shell 22 can be similar to that of the first column 1.
[0062] Therefore, this application solves the problem of adapting the storage box 100 to refrigerators of different sizes by using a separate design for the inner liner and the outer shell, thereby reducing manufacturing and processing costs. Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has significant advantages, avoiding the high cost problem of integral injection molding structures, while simplifying manufacturing and processing techniques.
[0063] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first outer shell 12 has a first mounting post 122 facing the first inner liner 11, and the first inner liner 11 has a first slot 117 adapted to the first mounting post 122. The first mounting post 122 is engaged with the first slot 117. The second outer shell 22 has a second mounting post 221 facing the second inner liner 21, and the second inner liner 21 has a second slot 216 adapted to the second mounting post 221. The second mounting post 221 is engaged with the second slot 216. By engaging the first mounting post 122 with the first slot 117, the assembly of the first inner liner 11 and the first outer shell 12 is completed. By engaging the second mounting post with the second slot 216, the assembly of the second inner liner 21 and the second outer shell 22 is completed. This solves the problem of ease of installation and processing of the storage box 100 and reduces the manufacturing cost.
[0064] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The storage box 100 also includes a lid 7, which is rotatably connected to the first column 1 or the second column 2.
[0065] Specifically, the design of the lid 7 allows users to easily open and close the storage box 100, thereby improving the ease of use of the storage box 100. The rotating connection design allows the lid 7 to be flexibly connected to the main body of the storage box 100, facilitating user operation. By setting a rotating connector on the first column 1 or the second column 2, the lid 7 can be stably and flexibly connected to the storage box 100, solving the problem of ease of installation and use of the storage box 100 in the refrigerator door lining.
[0066] The rotatable connection of the lid 7 can be achieved in several ways. For example, the lid 7 can be connected to the first post 1 or the second post 2 via a hinge 71. One end of the hinge 71 is fixed to the lid 7, and the other end is connected to the first post 1 or the second post 2 via a bushing 113, thus allowing the lid 7 to open and close smoothly. As a preferred embodiment, the inner lining of the first post 1 and the second post 2 can be provided with a bushing 113, and the shaft of the hinge 71 is inserted into the bushing 113, thereby achieving the rotatable connection of the lid 7. In addition, a spring mechanism can be provided between the lid 7 and the post, so that the lid 7 can automatically reset when opened and closed, improving the convenience of use.
[0067] This application adds a lid 7 to the storage box 100 and uses a rotating connection, allowing the lid 7 to be flexibly and stably connected to the main body of the storage box 100. This design not only improves the ease of use of the storage box 100 but also solves the problem of ease of installation and use of the storage box 100 within the refrigerator door lining. Compared with existing technologies, the technical solution of this application is simpler in structure, lower in cost, and also improves the user experience. Therefore, this application has significant advantages in terms of convenience and economy.
[0068] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The box cover 7 is provided with a hinge 71 on the side near the first column 1, and the first inner liner 11 is provided with a bushing 113 corresponding to the hinge 71, and the hinge 71 is hinged to the bushing 113.
[0069] With this design, the hinge 71 and bushing 113 work together to ensure that the cover 7 is stably connected to the storage box 100, preventing the cover 7 from becoming loose or falling off during use, thus improving the reliability and service life of the storage box 100.
[0070] The hinge 71 can be implemented in various ways, such as using a metal hinge 71 or a plastic hinge 71. The bushing 113 can be formed on the first inner liner 11 by injection molding or other processing methods. The connection between the hinge 71 and the bushing 113 can be achieved by screw fixing or snap-fit connection. As a preferred embodiment, the hinge 71 can be connected to the bushing 113 by a pin to realize the rotation of the cover 7.
[0071] This application achieves stable hinged connection of the lid 7 by providing a hinge 71 on the side of the lid 7 near the first upright 1 and a bushing 113 that cooperates with the hinge 71 on the first inner liner 11. Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application can effectively prevent the lid 7 from loosening or falling off during use, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the storage box 100. At the same time, the technical solution of this application has a simple structure, is easy to implement, and has high practical value.
[0072] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first outer shell 12 has a clearance hole 121 corresponding to the hinge 71.
[0073] It should be noted that the feature of the clearance hole 121 in the first outer shell 12 is to provide the necessary space for the hinge 71, avoiding interference between the hinge 71 and the first outer shell 12. By providing the clearance hole 121 on the first outer shell 12, the hinge 71 can be smoothly installed and operated, thereby improving the ease of assembly and use of the storage box 100. This design ensures that the hinge 71 is not obstructed by the outer shell during operation, improving the functionality and reliability of the overall structure.
[0074] Specifically, the clearance hole 121 can be implemented in various ways. For example, the clearance hole 121 can be a simple circular hole, or it can be designed into a specific contour hole according to the shape of the hinge 71. The size and position of the clearance hole 121 need to be precisely designed and manufactured according to the specific specifications of the hinge 71 to ensure that the hinge 71 is not obstructed during installation and operation.
[0075] Therefore, by providing a clearance hole 121 on the first outer shell 12, this application effectively solves the interference problem between the hinge 71 and the first outer shell 12, ensuring the smooth installation and operation of the hinge 71. Compared with the prior art, the design of this application improves the ease of assembly and use of the storage box 100, and enhances the functionality and reliability of the overall structure. At the same time, by rationally designing the shape and position of the clearance hole 121, the strength and stability of the first outer shell 12 are guaranteed, further improving the product's service life and user experience.
[0076] Alternatively, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 9 The storage box 100 also includes a first connector 31 and a second connector 32. The first connector 31 and the second connector 32 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the top shell 3. The first connector 31 is fixedly installed on the first column 1 and the second column 2, and the second connector 32 is fixedly installed on the first column 1 and the second column 2.
[0077] Specifically, by providing a first connector 31 and a second connector 32 on opposite sides of the top shell 3, and fixing them to the first column 1 and the second column 2 respectively, the overall structural strength and stability of the storage box 100 can be effectively enhanced, preventing the storage box 100 from becoming loose or deformed during use. These technical measures ensure the stable installation of the storage box 100 in the refrigerator door lining, thereby improving the service life and reliability of the storage box 100.
[0078] Furthermore, the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 can be made of metal or high-strength plastic to ensure the strength and durability of the connectors. The first connector 31 and the second connector 32 can be fixed to the top shell 3 and the column by screws or rivets to ensure a secure connection. As a preferred embodiment, the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 can also be provided with reinforcing ribs to further improve the strength and stability of the connectors. Specifically, the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 can have multiple mounting holes to facilitate multi-point connection with the top shell 3 and the column, thereby improving the secureness of the installation.
[0079] This application effectively solves the problems of loosening and deformation that may occur in the storage box 100 during use by providing a first connector 31 and a second connector 32 on both sides of the top shell 3 of the storage box 100, and fixing them to the first column 1 and the second column 2 respectively. Compared with the prior art, the technical solution proposed in this application not only improves the structural strength and stability of the storage box 100, but also extends the service life and reliability of the storage box 100, thus having significant technical advantages in practical applications.
[0080] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9The first connector 31 has two first connecting holes 311 spaced apart. The first inner liner 11 and the second inner liner 21 have a first mounting hole 114 and a second mounting hole 213 respectively. The two first connecting holes 311 are screwed to the first mounting hole 114 and the second mounting hole 213 respectively. The second connector 32 has two second connecting holes 321 spaced apart. The first inner liner 11 and the second inner liner 21 have a third mounting hole 115 and a fourth mounting hole 214 respectively. The two second connecting holes 321 are screwed to the third mounting hole 115 and the fourth mounting hole 214 respectively.
[0081] The first connector 31 and the second connector 32 are designed to achieve a more reliable fixation and connection within the storage box 100 on the refrigerator door lining. Each of the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 has several connection holes, which correspond to mounting holes on the lining via screws, allowing the connectors to be securely fixed to the lining.
