Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of refrigerator technology, and in particular relates to a drawer fixing structure for dividing the free space of a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, users are increasingly demanding both practicality and aesthetics from refrigerators. French-style refrigerators are favored by consumers due to their large freezer drawer capacity and ease of use. However, according to national standards and EU safety regulations, there should not be more than 60L of free space inside a refrigerator (including the space inside drawers and above removable parts). If such space exists, an opening (with an area greater than two-thirds of the drawer and a space above the opening greater than 250mm) must be provided at the back of the drawer, or a partition must be installed inside the drawer to divide the space.

[0003] In existing technologies, safety standards are typically met by either setting an opening at the back of the drawer or installing a non-removable partition inside. However, these methods have the following drawbacks: 1. An opening at the back of the drawer can easily cause food to fall out during the pulling process; 2. Internal partitions affect the storage of large food items, reducing the actual usable volume; 3. The structure is complex and the manufacturing cost is high.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problem of dividing the free space in a refrigerator has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a drawer fixing structure for dividing the free space of a refrigerator, aiming to solve the problem of dividing the free space of a refrigerator.

[0006] This utility model embodiment is implemented as follows: a drawer fixing structure for free space partitioning in a refrigerator includes a refrigerator inner liner and a drawer assembly disposed in the refrigerator inner liner. The drawer assembly includes an upper drawer and a lower drawer. A slide rail is provided below the upper drawer. The slide rail includes a fixed rail fixed to the refrigerator inner liner and a movable rail that can slide on the fixed rail. The upper drawer is supported on the movable rail. The drawer fixing structure also includes a fixing member and a connecting member. The movable rail is fixedly connected to the fixing member and the upper drawer through the connecting member, making the upper drawer and the movable rail a non-removable structure.

[0007] A refrigerator includes a refrigerator body with the aforementioned drawer fixing structure for dividing the refrigerator's free space.

[0008] This utility model, through simple structural improvements, not only meets the national safety standards for limiting the free space of refrigerators, but also maintains the integrity of the drawer structure and ease of use. It also has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, easy use, and large storage capacity, and has extremely high practical and promotional value. Attached Figure Description

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages 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.

[0014] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a drawer fixing structure for dividing the free space of a refrigerator, including a refrigerator inner liner 1 and a drawer assembly 2 disposed in the refrigerator inner liner 1. The drawer assembly 2 includes an upper drawer 21 and a lower drawer 22, as shown. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a slide rail 3 is provided below the upper drawer 21. The slide rail 3 includes a fixed rail 31 that is fixed to the refrigerator inner liner 1 and a movable rail 32 that can slide on the fixed rail 31. The upper drawer 21 is supported on the movable rail 32. In order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the technical solution of this embodiment is that the movable rail 32 is fixedly connected to the fixed member 5 and the upper drawer 21 through the connector 4, so that the upper drawer 21 and the movable rail 32 become a non-removable structure.

[0016] This structural design ensures that the upper drawer 1 is securely fixed and cannot be disassembled, thus guaranteeing that the individual volume of the lower drawer 22 is less than 60L, meeting the national safety standards' requirements for free space. Simultaneously, the drawer maintains its complete structural form with no gaps at the back, preventing food from falling out during operation; the absence of internal partitions ensures both safety and maximizes storage space. Furthermore, the simple structure requires only one connector and fastener, resulting in low cost, easy installation, and a secure, reliable, and long-lasting design.

[0017] In one embodiment of this utility model, the fastener 5 is preferably integrally molded from ABS or PP plastic using an injection molding process, possessing sufficient strength and durability; see also Figure 4 The body of the fastener 5 is L-shaped, including a vertical fixing part 51 and a horizontal support part 52. The vertical fixing part 51 has a through hole, and the connector 4 (such as a self-tapping screw or a machine screw) passes through the through hole and is screwed into the pre-set threaded hole on the upper drawer 21, thereby firmly locking the fastener 5 onto the upper drawer 21. The horizontal support part 52 extends horizontally inward from the bottom of the vertical fixing part 51, and its size and shape are designed to stably connect the connecting structure of the movable rail 32.

[0018] During installation, first place the upper drawer 1 in position, assemble the connection structure between the movable rail 32 and the horizontal support part 52 of the fixing part 5, and then use the connector 4 to fasten the vertical fixing part 51 to the upper drawer 21. After installation, the upper drawer 21 and the movable rail 32 are locked together and cannot be lifted up or taken out by the user, thus becoming a non-removable structure.

[0019] With this design, the upper drawer 1 and the lower drawer 2 are treated as two independent spaces when calculating free space. Since the individual volume of the lower drawer 2 is less than 60L, it meets the requirements of safety standards. At the same time, the entire drawer assembly has a neat structure, no escape opening at the rear, and no internal partitions, effectively preventing food from falling out and maximizing the use of storage space.

[0020] In one embodiment of this utility model, see Figure 4 To facilitate installation and positioning, the connection structure of the horizontal support 52 includes a positioning slot 53 provided on the upper surface of the horizontal support 52, and correspondingly, a positioning claw 54 adapted to the positioning slot 53 is provided on the top of the movable rail 32.

[0021] During installation, simply align the positioning claw 54 and press it into the positioning slot 53 to achieve quick pre-positioning, preventing the drawer from shifting during screw (connector 4) installation, making the installation process more convenient and accurate.

[0022] 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 and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
