[0044] For the convenience of description, without special indication, the orientation expressions of up, down, left, right, front, and back in this document are based on the state of the refrigerator in use, the door body of the refrigerator is the front, and the opposite direction is the back. The vertical direction is the up-down direction.

[0045] As an important electrical appliance in the kitchen, the effective use of the internal space of the refrigerator is particularly important. The conventional design of the drawer storage space of the existing refrigerator is a rectangular body, which is flat and low. When storing food materials, the food materials are horizontally stacked and placed in the drawer. The storage is chaotic and not easy to find immediately. Especially for some slender vegetable food materials, they need to be bent to be placed in the drawer, and they are easily pressed down and squeezed by other foods, which has poor storage effect.

[0046] Based on this, in order to solve the above problems, the present application designs a refrigerator, the second drawer is used in combination with the first drawer to improve the space utilization, and the storage cavity of the first drawer is divided into a main cavity located at the bottom of the second drawer and a storage cavity located at the front side of the second drawer. The storage space of the storage cavity is relatively higher and narrower than that of the main cavity. Then, for some slender or long food materials, they can be vertically placed in the storage cavity, which can better store and protect the food materials, realize the classified storage of the food materials, and enrich the storage function of the drawer.

[0047] With reference to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the embodiment of the present application provides a drawer assembly 100, which comprises a first drawer 1, the first drawer 1 has a storage cavity 3 with a top opening; a second drawer 2, which is stacked on the first drawer 1; the storage cavity 3 is formed with a main cavity 310 located at the bottom of the second drawer 2 and a storage cavity 320 located at the front side of the second drawer 2; the height of the storage cavity 320 is higher than the height of the main cavity 310, and the size of the storage cavity 320 in the front-rear direction X is smaller than the size of the main cavity 310 in the front-rear direction X.

[0048] Specifically, the second drawer 2 is arranged on the top of the first drawer 1, and the second drawer 2 can also store objects, enriching the storage function of the drawer assembly 100. Figure 2 The main cavity 310 is formed below the second drawer 2, and the object cavity 320 is formed on the front side of the second drawer 2. The storage space of the object cavity 320 is higher and narrower than that of the main cavity 310. It can be understood that different shapes of food can be selectively placed in the main cavity 310 or the object cavity 320.

[0049] For example, the food material is in an elongated or long strip shape, the length of the food material is long, and the food material can be placed vertically in the object cavity 320 without being bent, thereby avoiding being pressed or squeezed by other food materials, and effectively protecting the food material. Other types of food materials can be placed in the main cavity 310, effectively classifying and storing the food materials, and improving the space utilization.

[0050] The drawer assembly 100 of the present application uses the second drawer 2 and the first drawer 1 in a stacked combination, and the storage cavity 3 of the first drawer 1 is divided into the main cavity 310 located at the bottom of the second drawer 2 and the object cavity 320 located on the front side of the second drawer 2. The storage space of the object cavity 320 is higher and narrower than that of the main cavity 310, and then some elongated or long strip-shaped food materials can be placed vertically in the object cavity 320, which can better store and protect the food materials, realize the classified storage of the food materials, and enrich the storage function of the drawer.

[0051] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the drawer assembly 100 further comprises a support plate 4 arranged in the object cavity 320, the support plate 4 is used to separate the object cavity 320 left and right, and the support plate 4 can slide in the left-right direction Z.

[0052] Specifically, the support plate 4 is arranged in the object cavity 320, and the support plate 4 can further separate the object cavity 320 into a plurality of small cavities in the left-right direction Z. Each small cavity can vertically place food materials, thereby improving the space utilization.

[0053] It can be understood that the elongated food material is prone to lateral falling when placed vertically, and the support plate 4 can slide in the left-right direction in the object cavity 320. Then, by adjusting the left-right sliding of the support plate 4 in the object cavity 320, the support plate 4 can provide support for the food material, so that the food material can be kept in an upright state, and the storage effect is better.

[0054] The number of support plates 4 can be one or more, which is not limited in the present application.

[0055] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the support plate 4 is provided with a hook structure 5.

[0056] It can be understood that the food purchased by the user is usually packaged with a plastic bag, and then the plastic bag can be directly hung on the hook structure 5, which is more convenient for storage and taking.

[0057] For example, the hook structure 5 can be a fixed hook, and the hook directly extends outside the support plate 4. Alternatively, the hook structure 5 can also be a hidden hook, and the hook is manually controlled to extend.

[0058] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the support plate 4 is provided with a hollow groove 6, and the hook structure 5 includes a support rod 7 arranged in the hollow groove 6 and a hanging piece 8 rotatably arranged on the support rod 7. The hanging piece 8 can rotate relative to the support rod 7 to extend outwardly to the outside of the support plate 4.

[0059] Specifically, the hanging piece 8 can form a hook by swinging left and right at the top and extending to the outside of the support plate 4, which is convenient for hanging things. The support rod 7 is cylindrical and extends along the front-back direction X. The bottom of the hanging piece 8 is rotatably connected to the support rod 7. The bottom of the hanging piece 8 is trumpet-shaped, which is convenient for the hanging piece 8 to be rotatably installed on the support rod 7. In addition, after the hanging piece 8 is installed, the two sides of the trumpet-shaped opening of the bottom of the hanging piece 8 can limit the left and right swing positions of the hanging piece 8, so that the hanging piece 8 does not swing excessively and causes the hung things to fall off the hanging piece 8, thereby improving the stability of the hanging. Figure 5

[0060] In some embodiments, the support plate 4 is provided with a plurality of hollow grooves 6, and a single hollow groove 6 is provided with a single support rod 7 and a hanging piece 8. The width of the hollow groove 6 is matched with the width of the hanging piece 8, so that the hanging pieces 8 at different positions are used to hang different food bags.

[0061] In other embodiments, the width of the hollow groove 6 is greater than the width of the hanging piece 8, and a plurality of hanging pieces 8 are arranged side by side on the support rod 7 in the hollow groove 6. The hanging pieces 8 can slide forward and backward along the support rod 7, so that the position can be adjusted flexibly, and more flexible hanging positions can be achieved.

[0062] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the drawer assembly 100 further includes a partition plate 9 arranged on the first drawer 1. The storage cavity 3 is divided into a main cavity 310 and a storage cavity 320 by the partition plate 9, and the partition plate 9 forms the rear side wall of the storage cavity 320.

[0063] Specifically, the partition plate 9 is arranged in the drawer assembly 100, which effectively separates the main cavity 310 and the storage cavity 320, and better classifies and stores. ​

[0064] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the user to take and place, and to meet the needs of placing common food materials, the distance between the partition plate 9 and the front side wall of the storage cavity 3 is greater than or equal to 50 mm.

[0065] Reference Figure 5 And Figure 6 In some embodiments, the top end of the support plate 4 is provided with a sliding seat 10, which is in sliding cooperation with the partition plate 9, so as to be able to slide left and right along the upper edge of the partition plate 9.

[0066] Understandably, the support plate 4 is in sliding cooperation with the partition plate 9 through the sliding seat 10, and the sliding of the sliding seat 10 along the upper edge of the partition plate 9 can drive the stable sliding of the support plate 4 in the left-right direction Z.

[0067] Reference Figure 6 Specifically, the sliding seat 10 has a groove 101 for embedding the partition plate 9, and the opening of the groove 101 faces downward, and the partition plate 9 is in interference fit in the groove 101. That is, during the sliding of the sliding seat 10 relative to the partition plate 9, the sliding friction between the sliding seat 10 and the partition plate 9 can make the support plate 4 maintain at the adjusted position after sliding.

[0068] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the support plate 4 is further provided with a limiting seat 11, and the sliding seat 10 and the limiting seat 11 limit the partition plate 9 in the vertical direction.

[0069] Specifically, the bottom of the support plate 4 is further provided with a limiting seat 11, and the limiting seat 11 and the support plate 4 form a limiting groove 111 with the opening facing upward, and the bottom end of the partition plate 9 is embedded in the limiting groove 111. Understandably, the top end of the partition plate 9 is embedded in the groove 101, and the bottom end of the partition plate 9 is embedded in the limiting groove 111, and the sliding seat 10 and the limiting seat 11 limit the partition plate 9 in the vertical direction, thereby making the support plate 4 unable to be separated from the partition plate 9 in the vertical direction, and the support plate 4 can only slide left and right relative to the partition plate 9, improving the structural stability and making the sliding of the support plate 4 smooth, avoiding the rotation and falling of the support plate 4 during the sliding process.

[0070] Reference Figure 4 And Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first drawer 1 is provided with a connecting seat 12 on the side wall on the left and right sides of the storage cavity 3, and the connecting seat 12 is provided with a slot 121 for inserting the partition plate 9.

[0071] Understandably, the two sides of the partition plate 9 are respectively inserted into the slots 121 of the two connecting seats 12, so that the partition plate 9 is stably installed in the first drawer 1, and the structural stability is good.

[0072] Specifically, the partition plate 9 is inserted into the slot 121 in the vertical direction, and the size of the slot 121 in the vertical direction is set to 1 / 3-1 of the height of the partition plate 9, so as to ensure that the partition plate 9 has enough length to be inserted into the slot 121, and improve the structural stability.

[0073] The partition plate 9 is detachably connected with the first drawer 1, and the partition plate 9 is convenient to install and detach. Therefore, the installation steps of the partition plate 9, the supporting plate 4 and the first drawer 1 are as follows: the supporting plate 4 is assembled on the partition plate 9 from one side of the partition plate 9, the partition plate 9 is limited between the sliding seat 10 and the limiting seat 11, and then the partition plate 9 is installed in the first drawer 1. That is, the supporting plate 4 and the partition plate 9 are pre-assembled, and then the two are installed in the first drawer 1, so that the installation steps are more convenient.

[0074] Reference Figures 1-4 In some embodiments, the top of the first drawer 1 has a sliding support portion 13 and a front wall portion 14 protruding upward relative to the sliding support portion 13 at the front end of the sliding support portion 13, the second drawer 2 is slidingly fitted on the sliding support portion 13, and the front wall portion 14 and the second drawer 2 form a top opening of the storage cavity 320.

[0075] Specifically, the size of the sliding support portion 13 in the front-rear direction X is matched with the size of the second drawer 2 in the front-rear direction X, that is, the second drawer 2 can be stacked on the sliding support portion 13. Moreover, the second drawer 2 can slide in the horizontal plane relative to the sliding support portion 13 in the front-rear direction, and the second drawer 2 can be slid backward relative to the first drawer 1 to open the main cavity 310. The second drawer 2 can also be used to store food materials alone, so that the first drawer 1 and the second drawer 2 can store food materials separately, thereby achieving classified storage and improving space utilization.

[0076] In some embodiments, the second drawer 2 has a retracted position stacked on the first drawer 1 and an extended position extended backward relative to the first drawer 1. When the second drawer 2 is in the retracted position, the partition plate 9 is located at the front side of the second drawer 2, and the distance between the partition plate 9 and the front end of the second drawer 2 is not greater than 20 mm, so that the partition plate 9 is as close to the second drawer 2 as possible, thereby reducing the occupation of space and fully utilizing the storage space.

[0077] Moreover, the top end of the partition plate 9 is configured to be lower than the top end of the second drawer 2, thereby reserving an operable space when the user pushes the second drawer 2 backward.

[0078] The front wall portion 14 protrudes upward relative to the sliding support portion 13, so that the top of the first drawer 1 has a front-rear stepped structure. When the second drawer 2 is stacked on the sliding support portion 13, the front wall portion 14 and the second drawer 2 form a top opening of the storage cavity 320, so that food materials can be conveniently placed vertically in the storage cavity 320, and the storage and access are very convenient.

[0079] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the top end of the front wall portion 14 is flush with the top end of the second drawer 2. Therefore, the overall structure of the combination of the first drawer 1 and the second drawer 2 is regular, and the structural integrity is good.

[0080] In a second aspect, the refrigerator according to another embodiment of the present application comprises a cabinet and the drawer assembly 100 described above arranged in the cabinet.

[0081] Specifically, the first drawer 1 is slidingly arranged in the cabinet and can be pulled out forward and backward relative to the cabinet. After the first drawer 1 is pulled out relative to the cabinet, the storage cavity 320 is located at the front, and the elongated food materials can be directly placed vertically in the storage cavity 320. In addition, other types of food materials can also be placed on the second drawer 2, and by controlling the second drawer 2 to slide backward relative to the first drawer 1, the main cavity 310 of the first drawer 1 can be further opened, and the food materials can also be stored, and the storage function of the drawer assembly 100 is rich.

[0082] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application.
