[0031] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0032] Refrigerators are common household appliances, primarily used for storing food and beverages and extending their shelf life through refrigeration. A refrigerator typically consists of a sealed cabinet with multiple compartments and shelves for the organized storage of different items. However, if a large number or scattered items are randomly placed inside, the internal space can become cluttered, causing inconvenience when items need to be retrieved. Therefore, using hanging storage boxes to categorize and organize the internal space is particularly important. However, currently available hanging storage boxes often lack the flexibility and convenience to be adjusted and adapted to different needs. In view of this, this invention provides a hanging storage box and refrigerator that allows users to dynamically adjust the width of the storage box body according to actual needs (such as separating items of different sizes), and even disassemble and reassemble it, significantly increasing its flexibility and versatility.

[0033] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2The suspended storage box proposed in this utility model includes at least:

[0034] Storage box body 1, used for storing items;

[0035] The suspension support assembly 2 includes two support slide rail components 21 that are slidably connected to both sides of the storage box body 1. Each end of the support slide rail component 21 is provided with a hook component 22 that is suspended on the refrigerator inner partition 4.

[0036] The lateral limiting component 3 is telescopically connected between two support slide rail components 21 to limit the support slide rail components 21 with different spacings, so as to adapt to storage box bodies 1 of different widths.

[0037] The two supporting slide rail components 21 of this utility model are suspended from the refrigerator inner divider 4 via hook components 22, and the spacing of the supporting slide rail components 21 can be flexibly adjusted according to the different widths of the storage box body 1. In addition, the lateral limiting component 3 connects the two supporting slide rail components 21 after telescopic extension, effectively realizing the limiting function of both. Subsequently, the storage box body 1 is slid between the two supporting slide rail components 21, and the suspended storage box can be conveniently used for classified storage, greatly improving the convenience of use. This design effectively solves the problem that existing suspended storage boxes cannot be flexibly and conveniently adjusted to adapt to different needs during use.

[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lateral limiting component 3 includes a limiting buckle base 31 and two telescopic limiting buckles 32. One end of the telescopic limiting buckle 32 is slidably inserted into the limiting buckle base 31, and the other end of the telescopic limiting buckle 32 is fastened to the supporting slide rail component 21.

[0039] In practical applications, the number of lateral limit components 3 can be flexibly set according to specific needs.

[0040] This utility model employs a lateral limiting component 3, including a limiting buckle base 31 and two telescopic limiting buckles 32. These two telescopic limiting buckles 32 can flexibly engage with support slide rail components 21 at different intervals, thereby effectively limiting the support slide rail components 21. This design can adapt to storage box bodies 1 of different widths, has a simple structure, and is easy to implement.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the limiting buckle base sleeve 31 is provided with a plurality of limiting through grooves 33, and the telescopic limiting buckle 32 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped protrusions 34 that cooperate with the limiting through grooves 33.

[0042] In practical applications, the number of limiting through grooves 33 on the limiting buckle base sleeve 31 and the number of arc-shaped protrusions 34 on the telescopic limiting buckle 32 can be flexibly set according to specific needs.

[0043] This utility model utilizes the interplay between the arc-shaped protrusion 34 on the telescopic limiting buckle 32 and the limiting through groove 33 on the limiting buckle base sleeve 31. The telescopic limiting buckle 32 can be stably stopped in multiple different positions, thereby flexibly adapting to support slide rail components 21 with different spacings, and thus effectively adapting to storage box bodies 1 of different widths.

[0044] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the supporting slide rail component 21 includes a slide rail adjusting base rod 211 and a supporting slide rail strip 212. The supporting slide rail strip 212 is fixedly disposed on one side of the slide rail adjusting base rod 211 and is slidably connected to the storage box body 1.

[0045] This utility model employs a supporting slide rail component 21, including a slide rail adjusting base rod 211 and a supporting slide rail strip 212. By slidingly connecting the supporting slide rail strips 212 of the two supporting slide rail components 21 to the storage box body 1, effective support and fixation of the storage box body 1 are achieved. Furthermore, this sliding connection method not only greatly facilitates the disassembly of the storage box body 1 but also makes retrieving items from the storage box more convenient, significantly improving the user experience.

[0046] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the slide rail adjustment base rod 211 is provided with an insertion slot 213 inside, and the hook component 22 includes a telescopic insertion rod 221 and a limiting hook 222. The end of the telescopic insertion rod 221 away from the telescopic insertion rod 221 is slidably inserted into the insertion slot 213, and the limiting hook 222 is suspended on the refrigerator inner partition plate 4.

[0047] In practical applications, the cross-sectional shape of the insertion slot 213 can be designed as rectangular, and the cross-sectional shape of the telescopic insertion rod 221 can also be designed as rectangular accordingly. This design ensures that the telescopic insertion rod 221 can slide smoothly within the insertion slot 213. A through slot 213 extending through both the front and rear sides can be provided inside the slide rail adjusting base rod 211, and the telescopic insertion rods 221 at both ends are inserted into this slot 213. Alternatively, two non-communicating insertion slots 213 can also be provided inside the slide rail adjusting base rod 211, and the telescopic insertion rods 221 at both ends are inserted into these two slots 213 respectively.

[0048] This invention allows for easy attachment and fixation to refrigerator interior dividers 4 of different sizes by pulling the hook component 22 and adjusting the insertion depth of the telescopic plug rod 221 into the through groove 213 within the slide rail adjusting base rod 211. This further enables the hanging storage box to be flexibly and conveniently adjusted and adapted to different usage needs.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the telescopic plug-in rod 221 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip ridges 223. In practical applications, the number of anti-slip ridges 223 can be flexibly set according to specific needs. By adding anti-slip ridges 223 to the telescopic plug-in rod 221, this utility model can effectively prevent slippage during use, ensuring that the hanging storage box is stably hung on the refrigerator inner divider 4. In addition, the anti-slip ridges 223 are preferably made of rubber. The rubber anti-slip ridges 223 have excellent anti-slip performance, and rubber materials with wear resistance and corrosion resistance can be selected, which can not only significantly extend the service life of the telescopic plug-in rod 221, but also ensure that its anti-slip function remains stable and effective for a long time.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the main body 1 of the storage box includes a box body 11 and two sliding limit buckles 12 fixedly disposed on both sides of the box body 11. The sliding limit buckles 12 are slidably connected to the support slide rail 212.

[0051] This utility model uses a storage box body 1, comprising a box body 11 and two sliding limiting buckles 12. The box body 11 is used to store items, while the two sliding limiting buckles 12 are slidably connected to two supporting slide rails 212, thereby fixing the storage box body 1 to the suspension support assembly 2. The design of the sliding limiting buckles 12 allows the storage box body 1 to slide smoothly along the supporting slide rails 212, facilitating user assembly and disassembly. In addition, the tight fit between the sliding limiting buckles 12 and the supporting slide rails 212 effectively prevents the storage box from shaking or falling off during use, ensuring its stability and safety.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the box body 11 is provided with a handle buckle 13 for easy pulling out the storage box body 1. By adding a handle buckle 13 to the storage box body 1, users can pull out the storage box more conveniently, thereby improving the convenience of the user experience.

[0053] The refrigerator proposed in this utility model includes: a cabinet, a partition 4 disposed within the cabinet, and a hanging storage box suspended on the partition 4. This hanging storage box allows users to dynamically adjust the width of the main body 1 of the storage box according to actual needs. During use, users can flexibly and conveniently adjust it according to different needs, significantly improving its flexibility and versatility, thereby making the storage effect of the refrigerator's internal space more ideal. The partition 4 can be made of glass.

[0054] To illustrate this more clearly, the following will describe in detail the hanging storage box proposed in the preferred embodiment of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 The suspended storage box includes a storage box body 1, a suspension support component 2, and a lateral limiting component 3.

[0056] The main body 1 of the storage box includes a box body 11. The box body 11 has sliding limit buckles 12 fixedly installed on both sides in the width direction, and a handle buckle 13 fixedly installed on one side in the length direction.

[0057] The suspension support assembly 2 includes two support slide rail components 21. Hook components 22 are inserted into both ends of each support slide rail component 21, resulting in a total of four hook components 22. Each support slide rail component 21 consists of a slide rail adjusting base rod 211 and a support slide rail strip 212, while each hook component 22 consists of a telescopic insertion rod 221 and a limiting hook 222. Furthermore, the slide rail adjusting base rod 211 has two non-communicating insertion slots 213, each with a rectangular cross-section. Similarly, each telescopic insertion rod 221 also has a rectangular cross-section, and every two telescopic insertion rods 221 can be slidably inserted into the two insertion slots 213 of the same slide rail adjusting base rod 211. In addition, the limiting hook 222 is L-shaped, with a telescopic insertion rod 221 fixedly installed below its vertical section. The telescopic insertion rod 221 has anti-slip ridges 223 made of rubber.

[0058] The lateral limiting component 3 includes a limiting buckle base sleeve 31, with telescopic limiting buckles 32 slidably inserted into both ends of the limiting buckle base sleeve 31. The telescopic limiting buckles 32 are L-shaped. The limiting buckle base sleeve 31 has a limiting through groove 33, and the telescopic limiting buckles 32 are fixedly provided with arc-shaped protrusions 34.

[0059] When using this hanging storage box, firstly, for different sizes of refrigerator inner dividers 4, adjust the telescopic insertion rod 221 by pulling the hook component 22, allowing it to slide in the insertion slot 213 within the support slide rail component 21, thereby adjusting the insertion depth to secure it to the refrigerator inner dividers 4 of different sizes. Furthermore, the anti-slip texture 223 on the telescopic insertion rod 221 prevents it from being pulled out during use. Additionally, for storage box bodies 1 of different widths, adjust the distance between the two telescopic limiting buckles 32 within the horizontal limiting component 3 and fasten them above the two support slide rail components 21 to limit the support slide rail components 21 with different spacing. Next, align and smoothly slide the sliding limiting buckle strips 12 on both sides of the storage box body 1 onto the support slide rail strips 212 of the two support slide rail components 21, allowing for convenient categorized storage through the storage box body 1, making the process more convenient.
