Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator accessories, and in particular to a refrigerator drawer rack. Background Technology

[0002] Refrigerators typically have different shelves and drawers; drawer shelves may refer to the drawer sections within the refrigerator or crisper compartment. Common drawer types include crisper drawers and freezer drawers. Crisper drawers are usually used to store fruits and vegetables and may be designed with humidity control to extend the food's freshness. Freezer drawers are used for frozen foods such as meat and ice cream.

[0003] Existing refrigerator drawer shelves located in the freezer compartment can generally hold a certain number of fresh products to be frozen. However, if the types of fresh products are different, or if different types of fresh products contain residual juices, the fresh products are prone to sticking together during the freezing process inside the drawer shelf. Furthermore, the residual juices from the fresh products can easily contaminate the storage space inside the drawer shelf, thereby contaminating other clean products and affecting the cleanliness of the frozen storage process. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[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] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-4 The refrigerator drawer rack shown includes a rack 1 and a detachable vertical plate 2. When the vertical plate 2 is placed inside the rack 1 and is in an upright position, it can vertically divide the storage space inside the rack 1 to facilitate the storage of different types of frozen fresh food, avoid the mutual influence of fresh food with juice during the freezing process, and ensure the cleanliness of the storage space inside the rack 1.

[0024] The storage rack 1 has rotatable first storage plates 3 on both sides, and movable second storage plates 4 on each first storage plate 3. The inner wall of the storage rack 1 has mating flanges 15 for the second storage plates 4 to overlap. When the first storage plate 3 rotates to be perpendicular to the vertical plate 2 and the second storage plate 4 moves to overlap the surface of the mating flange 15, the first storage plates 3 and second storage plates 4 can laterally separate the storage space formed by the vertical plate 2 and the storage rack 1. The combination of the first storage plates 3 and second storage plates 4 expands the classification space within the storage rack 1, facilitating the layered storage of different types of frozen fresh food. This storage method prevents different types of frozen fresh food from sticking together during freezing, which is beneficial for subsequent thawing operations.

[0025] Meanwhile, the first placement plate 3 and the second placement plate 4 can be stored on both sides of the vertical plate 2 according to usage needs. Furthermore, during the disassembly of the vertical plate 2, the first placement plate 3 and the second placement plate 4 can be removed together to the outside of the placement rack 1, which is suitable for different storage needs and has the advantage of flexible adjustment.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the first placement plate 3 has a guide channel 31, and the second placement plate 4 has a support leg 41 that passes through the guide channel 31. When the first placement plate 3 rotates to be perpendicular to the vertical plate 2, the second placement plate 4 is located above the first placement plate 3. To maintain the stability of the first placement plate 3 and the second placement plate 4, the second placement plate 4 needs to move towards the mating flange 15 until it is in contact with the mating flange 15.

[0027] A limiting ring 42 is provided at one end of the support leg 41 extending outside the guide channel 31. When the second placement plate 4 moves toward the mating flange 15, the support leg 41 moves inside the guide channel 31. The combination of the support leg 41 and the limiting ring 42 can prevent the second placement plate 4 from detaching from the first placement plate 3 and maintain the stability of the second placement plate 4 during movement.

[0028] Example 2: Based on Example 1, when the first placement plate 3 and the second placement plate 4 are in the stored state, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, both ends of the vertical plate 2 are provided with an extension shaft 5 that penetrates the plate body. Both ends of the extension shaft 5 are provided with a rotatable limiting strip 6 and a positioning strip 7 that is perpendicular to the extension shaft 5. The second placement plate 4 is provided with a limiting channel 43 that can accommodate the extension shaft 5, the limiting strip 6 and the positioning strip 7. When the first placement plate 3 rotates to be parallel to the vertical plate 2, the limiting strip 6 rotates and is offset from the positioning strip 7 and the limiting channel 43.

[0029] The rotation adjustment of the limiting strip 6 has an interception effect on the second placement plate 4, which can prevent the first placement plate 3 and the second placement plate 4 from rotating downwards, improve the stability of the first placement plate 3 and the second placement plate 4 in the storage state, and does not affect the storage operation of frozen fresh food.

[0030] Each of the positioning strips 7 has a pressure block 8 on the side facing the limiting strip 6. The pressure block 8 has an elastic rubber sleeve 9, and the limiting strip 6 has a hook that allows the pressure block 8 and the elastic rubber sleeve 9 to pass through. When the limiting channel 43 passes through the extension shaft 5, the limiting strip 6, and the positioning strip 7 as the second placement plate 4 rotates, the hook engages with the outside of the pressure block 8 and the elastic rubber sleeve 9 to maintain a tight connection between the extension shaft 5 and the limiting strip 6, allowing the limiting channel 43 to pass smoothly through these components. When the limiting strip 6 rotates and shifts away from the positioning strip 7, the hook disengages from the elastic rubber sleeve 9 and the pressure block 8. The elastic rubber sleeve 9 ensures a tight fit when the hook engages with it. Simultaneously, it allows for some movement during the hook's rotation as it rotates with the limiting strip 6.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to enable the placement rack 1 to be installed smoothly inside the refrigerator, a panel 11 extending outward is provided at the opening of the placement rack 1. Both ends of the panel 11 are provided with follower strips 12. The two follower strips 12 are located on both sides of the placement rack 1, and each follower strip 12 is provided with a support rail 13 that is connected to it. The support rail 13 needs to be pre-installed on the side wall of the freezer compartment of the refrigerator.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, when the vertical plate 2 is placed inside the placement rack 1 with two sets of first placement plates 3 and second placement plates 4, in order to maintain the stability of the vertical plate 2, the first placement plates 3 and the second placement plates 4, two sets of symmetrically distributed locking blocks 14 are provided inside the placement rack 1. When the vertical plate 2 is placed inside the placement rack 1, the bottom end of the vertical plate 2 is locked into the inside of the locking block 14.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. 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.
