[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator technology, and more specifically, to the storage structure of the storage compartment of a frost-free refrigerator. Background Technology
[0002] Refrigerators have become an indispensable food preservation and storage device in modern households. Traditional refrigerators typically include a refrigerator compartment (fresh food compartment) and a freezer compartment (freezer compartment) to meet users' storage temperature requirements for different foods.
[0003] Currently, refrigerator compartments typically employ a multi-layer shelf design. The height of these shelves is usually fixed or adjustable in a limited number of increments using simple clips. The drawback of this structure is its rigid and inflexible space division. When users need to store tall or irregularly shaped items (such as large beverage bottles or cake boxes), they often have to remove an entire shelf. This is not only inconvenient but also results in significant waste of that shelf space, failing to achieve efficient space utilization and effectively meeting users' needs for flexible storage space.
[0004] Therefore, the storage compartment structure of the existing air-cooled refrigerator has problems such as inconvenient space adjustment, poor flexibility, and cluttered storage and inconvenience of accessing items. Based on this, this utility model discloses a storage structure for the storage compartment of an air-cooled refrigerator to solve the above defects. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the issue raised in the background art, the current refrigerator compartment typically employs a multi-layer shelf structure. The height of these shelves is often fixed or adjustable in a limited number of levels using simple clips. The drawback of this structure is its fixed and rigid space division.

[0017] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0018] Therefore, this utility model provides the storage structure of the storage compartment of a frost-free refrigerator, see [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a refrigerator body 1, which is divided into an upper fresh-keeping compartment 2 and a lower freezer compartment 3. The fresh-keeping compartment 2 is equipped with an adjustable component 4 that can flexibly adjust the height, and the freezer compartment 3 is equipped with multi-layer pull-out storage components.
[0019] For details, see Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the adjustment component 4 installs the positioning strips 402 by opening multiple sets of vertical grooves on both sides of the preservation compartment 2. Multiple sets of grooves are also provided on the inner side of the positioning strips 402. A limiting box 404 is connected between the two positioning strips 402 by fixing brackets 405 on both sides and can slide up and down along them.
[0020] During operation, the user can adjust the overall height of the limit box 404 by lifting or pressing it down.
[0021] Further, see Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, a fixing plate 408 is attached to the lower end of the fixing frame 405 by magnet 406. The fixing plate 408 is made of magnetic materials such as stainless steel or has magnetic sheets attached, and is used to directly support items.
[0022] During operation, the user can lift the fixing plate 408 upwards for cleaning or to rearrange the space. After placement, the magnet 406 will automatically attract and fix it.
[0023] Among them, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the limiting box 404 is equipped with a locking mechanism. The locking block 413 extends through the through hole and, under the tension of the return spring 415, its front end tends to engage with the groove of the positioning strip 402, thereby fixing the limiting box 404. When adjustment is needed, the user pulls the drive rod 417. The drive rod 417, through the drive block 416, overcomes the force of the return spring 415 and retracts the two locking blocks 413 inward, causing them to disengage from the groove. At this time, the limiting box 404 can be moved. After releasing the drive rod 417, under the combined action of the drive spring 419 and the return spring 415, the locking block 413 will pop out again and engage with the groove in the new position, completing the fixing.
[0024] During operation, this mechanism achieves highly adjustable micro-motion and stable locking.
[0025] See Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the two side walls of the freezer compartment 3 are fixed with multiple layers of support bars 501. The refrigerator box 502 is mounted on the support bars 501 through a slide rail or pulley structure, which can be smoothly pulled out.
[0026] During operation, users can easily access and store items in the freezer compartment 3, just like using a drawer.
[0027] In summary, this effectively solves the problem of existing refrigerator compartments typically employing multi-layered shelf designs. The height of these shelves is often fixed or adjustable in a limited number of levels using simple clips. The drawback of this structure is its fixed and rigid space division. When users need to store tall or irregularly shaped items (such as large beverage bottles or cake boxes), they often need to remove an entire shelf. This is not only inconvenient but also results in significant waste of that shelf space, failing to achieve efficient space utilization and effectively meeting users' needs for flexible storage space.
