Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of refrigerator equipment, and specifically relates to a refrigerator drawer assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Refrigerator drawer assemblies are pull-out components in refrigerators used for storing items. Currently, there is still room for improvement in the air and environmental maintenance aspects of refrigerator drawer assemblies. During use, uneven humidity and odor accumulation can easily occur inside the drawers, affecting food preservation and shortening shelf life. As food is stored for longer periods, moisture and volatile substances released from the food are difficult to expel and accumulate in the relatively enclosed space, leading to environmental degradation. A common solution is to add absorbent materials, such as activated carbon coatings, to the drawer material to absorb odors and some moisture. However, the absorption capacity of such materials is limited, and their absorption effect gradually weakens with prolonged use, requiring periodic replacement or treatment. Furthermore, absorbent materials only passively alleviate the problem and cannot fundamentally improve air circulation, failing to address issues such as localized high humidity and oxygen / carbon dioxide imbalances caused by poor air circulation, thus making it difficult to maintain a stable preservation environment inside the drawer. Therefore, a new structure is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a refrigerator drawer assembly to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4As the first embodiment of this utility model: a refrigerator drawer assembly, including: a drawer assembly, a ventilation assembly and an elastic assembly, wherein the inner wall of the drawer assembly is equipped with a ventilation assembly for ventilating the internal space of the drawer assembly, the rear surface of the drawer assembly is equipped with an elastic assembly for popping out the drawer assembly, the drawer assembly includes a drawer body 100 for storage, the front surface of the drawer body 100 is equipped with a panel 110, the ventilation assembly includes a ventilation plate 400 for ventilation, and the elastic assembly includes an elastic plate 310 for installation.

[0024] The upper surface of the drawer body 100 is designed with an opening. A drawer slide 200 is installed on the upper edge of the left and right surfaces of the drawer body 100. The length and width of the panel 110 are greater than the length and width of the front surface of the drawer body 100.

[0025] A handle 120 is installed on the upper surface of the panel 110. Two partitions 210 are symmetrically installed inside the drawer body 100. A spring 320 is installed on the left and right edges of the front surface of the elastic plate 310. An electromagnet 330 is installed on the upper and lower edges of the front surface of the elastic plate 310.

[0026] A metal plate 340 is installed on the upper edge and lower edge of the rear surface of the drawer body 100. The surface of the metal plate 340 is flush with the rear surface of the drawer body 100. The position and structure of the metal plate 340 match the position and structure of the electromagnet 330. The elastic plate 310 is fixedly installed inside the drawer groove of the refrigerator. The end of the spring 320 away from the elastic plate 310 is connected to the rear surface of the drawer body 100.

[0027] In use, the user first connects the drawer slides 200 on the left and right surfaces of the drawer assembly to the inner wall of the refrigerator, allowing the drawer body 100 to slide and install inside the refrigerator drawer slot via the drawer slides 200. A gap is provided between the inner surface of the drawer slot and the upper surface of the drawer body 100. The panel 110 has filter holes 430, and the handle 120 is positioned to reach the drawer slot. When the drawer assembly is pushed into the drawer slot, an elastic plate 310 is installed inside. A spring 320 on the front surface of the elastic plate 310 connects to the drawer slot (the spring 320 is a stretchable spring; its extension length is greater than the length of the drawer body 100, and its compressed thickness matches the thickness of the groove inside the elastic plate 310, allowing the spring 320 to be positioned inside the elastic plate 310 after compression, with the tension less than the weight of the drawer body 100, making it easy for the user to pull out the drawer body 100; its specific structure and working principle are not detailed here). The electromagnet 330 on the surface of the elastic plate 310 also connects to the drawer body. The iron plate 340 on the rear surface of the drawer body 100 is magnetically connected. When the drawer body 100 needs to be pulled out, simply press the control button to de-energize the electromagnet 330, causing the iron plate 340 to lose its magnetic connection. This releases the compressed spring 320, allowing the drawer body 100 to spring out a short distance. The user can then pull the drawer body 100. This ensures the stability of the drawer body 100 inside the refrigerator, preventing it from wobbling, and also makes it convenient for the user to pull out the drawer body 100. To push the drawer body 100 back, simply press the control button again to activate the electromagnet 330 (the electromagnet 330 and control button are existing technologies; their specific circuit connection principles and structures can be selected according to actual conditions and will not be elaborated here). When in use, when the user wants to open the drawer, simply pressing the control button releases the elastic component, automatically springing the drawer body 100 a certain distance, making it easier for the user to pull the drawer open further. This makes it more convenient as it requires only a small amount of force to open the drawer.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As a second embodiment of this utility model: based on the description in the above embodiments, further, two filter holes 430 are symmetrically installed on the upper edge of the inner surface of the panel 110, and a groove 111 is provided on the inner surface of the panel 110. The groove 111 is provided on the front inner wall of the drawer body 100, and the groove 111 is connected to the filter holes 430. The structure of the groove 111 matches the structure of the ventilation plate 400.

[0029] A ventilation plate 400 is installed inside the groove 111. The ventilation plate 400 has a receiving cavity inside. Multiple ventilation holes 420 are evenly opened on the front surface of the ventilation plate 400. Two ventilation pipes 410 are symmetrically installed on the upper surface of the ventilation plate 400.

[0030] The ventilation duct 410 has an L-shaped structure. The end of the ventilation duct 410 away from the ventilation plate 400 is connected to the filter hole 430. The filter hole 430, ventilation duct 410, ventilation plate 400 and ventilation hole 420 are connected. The electromagnet 330 is electrically connected to the external control button through a wire.

[0031] When the drawer assembly is in use according to the operation steps of the first embodiment, the drawer assembly is inside the drawer slot, and the filter hole 430 is exposed inside the refrigerator. At this time, the cold air inside the refrigerator will enter the filter hole 430, and then enter the ventilation plate 400 through the ventilation pipe 410. Then, the air is discharged into the drawer body 100 through the ventilation hole 420 on the surface of the ventilation pipe 410, so that the air mixes with the air inside the refrigerator and the air is replenished. Because the ventilation assembly can circulate the air inside the drawer body 100 during use, it can prevent the air from becoming stale due to prolonged closure and reduce the possibility of odors from the items.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
