Abstract
Description
Drawer assembly and electrical appliances Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more specifically, to a drawer device and an electrical appliance. Background Technology
[0002] In the related technology, the upper surface of the drawer can hold wine bottles, but since the drawer can only move horizontally relative to the box, the wine bottles can only move horizontally out of the box with the drawer and cannot move at an angle.
[0003] Application content
[0004] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.
[0005] Therefore, the first objective of this application is to provide a drawer device.
[0006] The second objective of this application is to propose an electrical device.
[0007] To achieve at least one of the above objectives, according to a first aspect of this application, a drawer device is provided, comprising: a housing; a pull-out assembly movably mounted on the housing, at least a portion of the pull-out assembly being movable into and out of the housing; a bracket rotatably connected to the pull-out assembly for supporting a container; and a guide member mounted on the housing, the guide member having a guide surface extending toward the top of the housing in the direction in which the pull-out assembly moves out of the housing, the guide surface extending toward the top of the housing, the bracket engaging with the guide surface when the pull-out assembly moves out of the housing and passes a first position, the bracket rotating away from the pull-out assembly as the pull-out assembly moves out of the housing, and rotating toward the pull-out assembly as the pull-out assembly moves into the housing.
[0008] The drawer device proposed in this application includes a housing and a pull-out assembly, the pull-out assembly being movably mounted on the housing. Specifically, at least a portion of the pull-out assembly can be moved in and out of the housing, the pull-out assembly can hold a container, and when a user needs to remove the container from the housing, the user moves the pull-out assembly out of the housing; after the user removes the container from the pull-out assembly, the user moves the pull-out assembly back into the housing.
[0009] Furthermore, to enable the container to move at an angle as it is removed from the drawer assembly, this application also includes a bracket and a guide in the drawer assembly. The bracket is rotatably connected to the drawer assembly, and a portion of the container placed on the drawer assembly rests on the bracket, which supports the container. The guide is mounted on the drawer assembly, and a portion of the bracket overlaps with the guide during the removal or insertion of the drawer assembly. The guide supports the bracket, and as the drawer assembly moves, the bracket moves along the surface of the guide. Because the surface of the guide that contacts the bracket is inclined, the distance between the end of the bracket not connected to the drawer assembly and the drawer assembly changes as the bracket moves along the surface of the guide.
[0010] Specifically, the guide has a guide surface extending towards the top of the housing along the direction in which the pull-out assembly moves out of the housing. As the pull-out assembly moves out of the housing and passes a first position, the support overlaps with the guide surface. With the movement of the pull-out assembly, the pull-out assembly drives the support to move along the surface of the guide surface. As the pull-out assembly moves out of the housing, the support rotates relative to the pull-out assembly under the support of the guide surface. As the pull-out assembly moves out of the housing, the support rotates in a direction away from the pull-out assembly. Understandably, a portion of the container placed on the pull-out assembly rests on the support, which supports the container. When the support rotates in a direction away from the pull-out assembly, the container is lifted by the support, thus allowing the container to move at an angle when it moves out of the housing. When the pull-out assembly moves into the housing, the support rotates relative to the pull-out assembly under the support of the guide surface. As the pull-out assembly moves into the housing, the support rotates in a direction towards the pull-out assembly. In this case, the container decreases in height with the support to facilitate easy insertion into the housing.
[0011] By incorporating a bracket and a guide for supporting the bracket in the drawer assembly, the bracket can be supported by the guide as the pull-out assembly moves into and out of the cabinet. Since the guide surface is inclined, the bracket can rotate relative to the pull-out assembly as it moves into and out of the cabinet, thereby raising or lowering the container and enabling it to move at an angle, making it easier for the user to pick up and put down the container.
[0012] The drawer device described above according to this application may also have the following distinguishing technical features:
[0013] In some technical solutions, optionally, the bracket includes: a support member for supporting the container; at least two connecting rods respectively connected to both ends of the support member, the first end of any connecting rod being rotatably connected to the pull-out assembly, and the second end of any connecting rod being connected to the support member, wherein the connecting rod overlaps the guide surface when the pull-out assembly moves out of the box and passes through the first position, or when the pull-out assembly moves into the box and before passing through the first position.
[0014] In this technical solution, the structure of the support is defined. The support includes a support member and connecting rods. The support member supports the container, and a portion of the container placed on the pull-out assembly rests on the support member. The connecting rods are used to raise or lower the support member. There are at least two connecting rods, each connected to one end of the support member. The first end of any connecting rod is rotatably connected to the pull-out assembly, and the second end of any connecting rod is connected to the support member. When the pull-out assembly moves out of the housing and passes a first position, or when the pull-out assembly moves into the housing and before passing the first position, the connecting rods overlap with a guide surface. Due to the angle between the guide surface and the surface of the pull-out assembly, the connecting rods rotate relative to the pull-out assembly under the support of the guide surface. When the connecting rods rotate relative to the pull-out assembly, the connecting rods raise or lower the support member relative to the pull-out assembly, and the support member raises or lowers the container relative to the pull-out assembly, thus achieving angular movement of the container.
[0015] In some technical solutions, optionally, during the process of the pull-out assembly being removed from the housing, the pull-out assembly passes through a first position and a second position in sequence. When the pull-out assembly is in the first position, the second end of the connecting rod overlaps with the guide surface. When the pull-out assembly is in the second position, the side of the connecting rod closer to the first end overlaps with the guide surface.
[0016] In this technical solution, the positional relationship between the pull-out assembly and the connecting rod is defined. During the process of the pull-out assembly moving out of the housing, it sequentially passes through a first position and a second position. When the pull-out assembly is in the first position, the second end of the connecting rod overlaps the guide surface, and the second end of the connecting rod is away from the hinge point between the connecting rod and the pull-out assembly. When the guide surface supports the second end of the connecting rod, the guide member lifts the bracket to a relatively small height. When the pull-out assembly is in the second position, the side of the connecting rod closer to the first end overlaps the guide surface. This position is close to the hinge point between the connecting rod and the pull-out assembly. When the guide surface supports the side of the connecting rod closer to the first end, the guide member lifts the bracket to a relatively large height.
[0017] Specifically, during the process of the pull-out assembly being removed from the box, the pull-out assembly first moves to the first position, and the second end of the connecting rod first engages with the guide surface. As the pull-out assembly moves toward the outside of the box, the connecting rod moves along the guide surface until the pull-out assembly moves to the second position, where the connecting rod engages with the guide surface near the first end. During this process, the distance between the second end of the connecting rod and the pull-out assembly continuously increases, and the support continuously rises, thereby raising the container through the support and enabling the container to move at an angle.
[0018] In some technical solutions, the pull-out assembly optionally includes: a drawer; and a shelf mounted on the drawer for holding containers.
[0019] In this technical solution, the structure of the pull-out assembly is defined. The pull-out assembly includes a drawer and a shelf. The drawer is movably mounted on the box body, and can be moved in and out of the box body. The drawer has a cavity in which food items can be placed. The shelf is mounted on the drawer and is used to hold containers. When the drawer moves in and out of the box body, the drawer moves the shelf together, allowing the shelf to move containers in and out of the box body, facilitating user access to containers.
[0020] In one possible technical solution, the shelf is installed on top of the drawer, which makes it easy for the user to take out and put in containers on the shelf.
[0021] In some technical solutions, the shelf may optionally include: a main frame mounted on the drawer; multiple placement rods connected to the main frame, the multiple placement rods being arranged sequentially along the width direction of the main frame, with a gap between any two adjacent placement rods, and a placement slot defined between any two adjacent placement rods, the placement slot being used to accommodate containers.
[0022] In this technical solution, the structure of the storage rack is defined. The storage rack includes a main frame and multiple storage rods. The main frame is mounted on a drawer, and the storage rods are connected to the main frame. The storage rods are used to support containers placed on the storage rack. Specifically, the multiple storage rods are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the main frame, and there is a gap between any two adjacent storage rods, which defines a storage groove between any two adjacent storage rods. The two ends of the container are placed on the storage rods, and the middle part of the container is located in the storage groove. This not only limits the container by using the storage rods to prevent the container from rolling on the storage rack, but also reduces the overall weight of the storage rack.
[0023] In some technical solutions, optionally, any placement rod has an edge.
[0024] In this technical solution, the structure of the placement rods is defined. Each placement rod has an edge, which allows the container to be positioned within the rod. Understandably, when a container is placed between two placement rods, the edge on the rod helps to limit the container's movement and prevent it from rolling between the rods. Furthermore, when the shape of the container matches the cross-sectional shape of the placement rod, the limiting effect of the placement rod on the container can be further enhanced. The cross-sectional shape of the placement rod can be a polygon, such as a rectangle, triangle, or hexagon.
[0025] In some technical solutions, the support member optionally has multiple bends for supporting the container, and the multiple bends are configured to correspond to multiple placement slots.
[0026] In this technical solution, the structure of the support member is defined. The support member is used to support the container and has multiple bends for supporting the container. Specifically, the container is placed on a placement rack, with a portion of any container overlapping a bend, which supports the container. Multiple containers can be placed on the placement rack, with each container overlapping a corresponding bend. By providing bends on the support member, the containers can be further restrained to prevent them from rolling on the placement rack.
[0027] Furthermore, multiple bends are correspondingly provided in multiple placement slots. A portion of the container is placed in the corresponding placement slot, and another portion of the container overlaps the corresponding bend. The placement slots and bends can jointly limit the container and prevent it from rolling on the placement rack.
[0028] In some technical solutions, the drawer device may optionally include: a slide rail assembly, mounted on the cabinet, the slide rail assembly including: a slide rail bracket, mounted on the inner wall of the cabinet; and a slide rail, mounted on the drawer, wherein when the drawer is moved into or out of the cabinet, the drawer drives the slide rail to move along the slide rail bracket.
[0029] In this technical solution, the structure of the drawer assembly is further defined. To install the drawer onto the cabinet and enable the drawer to move relative to the cabinet, this application also includes a slide rail assembly in the drawer assembly. The slide rail assembly includes a slide rail bracket and a slide rail. The slide rail bracket is installed on the inner wall of the cabinet, and the slide rail is installed on the drawer. The slide rail and the slide rail bracket are adapted to each other. When the drawer is moved into or out of the cabinet, the drawer drives the slide rail to move along the slide rail bracket. Thus, on the one hand, the drawer can be installed onto the cabinet through the cooperation of the slide rail and the slide rail bracket; on the other hand, the drawer can move relative to the cabinet.
[0030] In one possible technical solution, there are two slide rails, which are respectively installed on the inner sides of two opposite side walls of the cabinet, and there are two slide rails, which are respectively installed on both sides of the drawer.
[0031] In some technical solutions, the drawer device may optionally include: a pulley bracket installed on the inner wall of the cabinet; and a pulley assembly installed on the shelf, wherein the shelf moves into or out of the cabinet, and the shelf drives the pulley assembly to roll along the pulley bracket.
[0032] In this technical solution, the structure of the drawer assembly is further defined. To further limit the movement of the shelf and enable it to move stably relative to the cabinet, this application also includes a pulley bracket and a pulley assembly in the drawer assembly. Specifically, the pulley bracket is installed on the inner wall of the cabinet, and the pulley assembly is installed on the shelf, with the pulley assembly adapted to the pulley bracket. When the shelf moves into or out of the cabinet, the shelf can drive the pulley assembly to roll along the pulley bracket. This allows the shelf to move stably relative to the cabinet.
[0033] In one possible technical solution, there are two pulley brackets, which are respectively installed on the inner sides of two opposite side walls of the box. There are also two pulley assemblies, which are respectively installed on both sides of the placement frame.
[0034] In some technical solutions, the pulley assembly optionally includes: at least one upper pulley; at least one lower pulley, the upper pulley and the lower pulley being respectively engaged with the top and bottom of the pulley bracket and respectively capable of rolling along the top and bottom of the pulley bracket.
[0035] In this technical solution, the structure of the pulley assembly is defined. The pulley assembly includes at least one upper pulley and at least one lower pulley, which are located on the upper and lower sides of the pulley bracket, respectively. The upper and lower pulleys are respectively engaged with the top and bottom of the pulley bracket, thus limiting the position of the placement rack through the cooperation of the upper and lower pulleys with the pulley bracket. Furthermore, the upper and lower pulleys can also roll along the top and bottom of the pulley bracket, respectively, so that the placement rack can move stably relative to the box.
[0036] In one possible technical solution, the pulley assembly has multiple upper pulleys and multiple lower pulleys, which are arranged sequentially along the length of the placement frame to improve the stability of the placement frame movement.
[0037] In some technical solutions, the drawer assembly may optionally include: a hinge, mounted on the pull-out assembly, and a bracket rotatably connected to the pull-out assembly via the hinge.
[0038] In this technical solution, the structure of the drawer assembly is further defined. The drawer assembly also includes a hinge, which is used to rotatably connect the bracket to the pull-out assembly. Specifically, the hinge is installed on both sides of the pull-out assembly, and the connecting rod in the bracket is connected to the hinge, so that the connecting rod can rotate relative to the pull-out assembly around the hinge, thereby realizing the rotatable connection of the bracket to the pull-out assembly through the hinge. By providing a hinge on the pull-out assembly, on the one hand, the bracket can be installed on the pull-out assembly through the hinge, and on the other hand, the bracket can rotate relative to the pull-out assembly around the hinge.
[0039] In some technical solutions, the drawer device may optionally include a drive mechanism connected to the pull-out assembly, the drive mechanism being used to drive the pull-out assembly to move into and out of the cabinet.
[0040] In this technical solution, the structure of the drawer mechanism is further defined. The drawer mechanism also includes a drive device, which is used to move the pull-out assembly relative to the cabinet. Specifically, the drive device is connected to the pull-out assembly and can drive the pull-out assembly to move into and out of the cabinet. By incorporating a drive device into the drawer mechanism, the movement of the pull-out assembly can be achieved without manual operation by the user, improving user convenience. The drive device can be a motor.
[0041] In some technical solutions, optionally, there is a gap between the bracket and the end of the pull-out assembly facing the outside of the housing along the length direction of the pull-out assembly.
[0042] In this technical solution, the positional relationship between the bracket and the pull-out assembly is defined. Along the length of the pull-out assembly, there is a gap between the bracket and the ends of the pull-out assembly facing outwards from the box. Understandably, when the pull-out assembly moves out of the box, it pulls the container out with it. If the bracket and the ends of the pull-out assembly facing outwards are flush, the bracket will lift the container as soon as the pull-out assembly moves out of the box, which could easily cause the container to get stuck at the opening of the box. To avoid this problem, this application sets a gap between the bracket and the ends of the pull-out assembly facing outwards from the box. When the pull-out assembly moves out of the box, part of the container first moves horizontally out of the box with the pull-out assembly, and then until the pull-out assembly moves to the first position, the bracket overlaps the guide surface, one end of the bracket is raised, and the container is then raised by the bracket. This allows the container to move at an angle while preventing the container from getting stuck at the opening of the box.
[0043] The second aspect of this application also proposes an electrical device including the drawer device proposed in the first aspect of this application.
[0044] The electrical equipment provided in the second aspect of this application, having included the drawer device proposed in the first aspect of this application, has all the beneficial effects of the drawer device.
[0045] Electrical appliances include refrigerators, freezers, wine coolers, or cold storage compartments.

Detailed Implementation
[0062] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0063] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0064] The drawer device 100 and electrical equipment according to some embodiments of this application are described below with reference to Figures 1 to 13.
[0065] In one embodiment of this application, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 12, this application proposes a drawer device 100, which includes: a housing 110; a pull-out assembly 120 movably mounted on the housing 110, at least a portion of the pull-out assembly 120 being capable of moving into and out of the housing 110; a bracket 130 rotatably connected to the pull-out assembly 120, the bracket 130 being used to support a container 200; and a guide 140 mounted on the housing 110, guiding... The guide 140 has a guide surface 141 extending in the direction in which the pull-out assembly 120 moves out of the housing 110. The guide surface 141 extends at an angle toward the top of the housing 110. When the pull-out assembly 120 moves out of the housing 110 and passes through a first position, the bracket 130 overlaps the guide surface 141. As the pull-out assembly 120 moves out of the housing 110, the bracket 130 rotates in a direction away from the pull-out assembly 120. As the pull-out assembly 120 moves into the housing 110, the bracket 130 rotates in a direction toward the pull-out assembly 120.
[0066] The drawer device 100 proposed in this application includes a housing 110 and a pull-out assembly 120, which is movably mounted on the housing 110. Specifically, at least a portion of the pull-out assembly 120 can be moved into and out of the housing 110. The pull-out assembly 120 can hold a container 200. When a user needs to remove the container 200 from the housing 110, the user moves the pull-out assembly 120 out of the housing 110. After the user removes the container 200 from the pull-out assembly 120, the user moves the pull-out assembly 120 back into the housing 110.
[0067] Furthermore, to enable the container 200 to move at an angle as it is moved out of the housing 110 by the pull-out assembly 120, this application also provides a bracket 130 and a guide 140 in the drawer device 100. The bracket 130 is rotatably connected to the pull-out assembly 120, and a portion of the container 200 placed on the pull-out assembly 120 rests on the bracket 130, which supports the container 200. The guide 140 is mounted on the housing 110, and during the process of the pull-out assembly 120 moving out of or into the housing 110, a portion of the bracket 130 overlaps with the guide 140, which supports the bracket 130. As the pull-out assembly 120 moves, the bracket 130 moves along the surface of the guide 140. Since the surface of the guide 140 that contacts the bracket 130 is inclined, the distance between the end of the bracket 130 that is not connected to the pull-out assembly 120 and the pull-out assembly 120 changes as the bracket 130 moves along the surface of the guide 140.
[0068] Specifically, the guide member 140 has a guide surface 141 extending toward the top of the housing 110 in the direction in which the pull-out assembly 120 moves out of the housing 110. When the pull-out assembly 120 moves out of the housing and passes a first position, the bracket 130 engages with the guide surface 141. As the pull-out assembly 120 moves, it drives the bracket 130 to move along the surface of the guide surface 141. When the pull-out assembly 120 moves out of the housing 110, the bracket 130 rotates relative to the pull-out assembly 120 under the support of the guide surface 141. As the pull-out assembly 120 moves out of the housing 110, the bracket 130 rotates in a direction away from the pull-out assembly 120. Understandably, a portion of the container 200 placed on the pull-out assembly 120 rests on the support 130, which supports the container 200. When the support 130 rotates away from the pull-out assembly 120, the container 200 is lifted by the support 130, thus allowing the container 200 to move at an angle when removed from the housing 110. When the pull-out assembly 120 moves into the housing 110, the support 130 rotates relative to the pull-out assembly 120 under the support of the guide surface 141. As the pull-out assembly 120 moves into the housing 110, the support 130 rotates in the direction towards the pull-out assembly 120. In this case, the container 200 decreases in height along with the support 130 to facilitate easy insertion into the housing 110.
[0069] By providing a bracket 130 and a guide 140 for supporting the bracket 130 in the drawer device 100, the bracket 130 can be supported by the guide 140 when the pull-out assembly 120 moves into and out of the box 110. Since the guide surface 141 is inclined, the bracket 130 can rotate relative to the pull-out assembly 120 when it moves into and out of the box 110, thereby raising or lowering the container 200 and enabling the container 200 to move at an angle, making it convenient for the user to take out and put in the container 200.
[0070] In some embodiments, optionally as shown in FIG5, the bracket 130 includes: a support member 131 for supporting the container 200; at least two connecting rods 132 respectively connected to the two ends of the support member 131, the first end of any connecting rod 132 being rotatably connected to the pull-out assembly 120, and the second end of any connecting rod 132 being connected to the support member 131, wherein the connecting rod 132 overlaps the guide surface 141 when the pull-out assembly 120 moves out of the box 110 and passes through the first position, or when the pull-out assembly 120 moves into the box 110 and before passing through the first position.
[0071] In this embodiment, the structure of the bracket 130 is defined. The bracket 130 includes a support member 131 and a connecting rod 132. The support member 131 supports the container 200, and a portion of the container 200, which is placed on the pull-out assembly 120, rests on the support member 131. The connecting rod 132 is used to raise or lower the support member 131. There are at least two connecting rods 132, each connected to one end of the support member 131. The first end of any connecting rod 132 is rotatably connected to the pull-out assembly 120, and the second end of any connecting rod 132 is connected to the support member 131. When the pull-out assembly 120 moves out of the housing 110 and passes the first position, or when the pull-out assembly 120 moves into the housing 110 and before passing the first position, the connecting rod 132 overlaps with the guide surface 141. Since there is an angle between the guide surface 141 and the surface of the pull-out assembly 120, the connecting rod 132 rotates relative to the pull-out assembly 120 under the support of the guide surface 141. When the connecting rod 132 rotates relative to the pull-out assembly 120, the connecting rod 132 causes the support member 131 to rise or fall relative to the pull-out assembly 120, and the support member 131 causes the container 200 to rise or fall relative to the pull-out assembly 120, thus enabling the container 200 to move at an angle.
[0072] In some embodiments, optionally as shown in Figures 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 13, during the process of the pull-out assembly 120 moving out of the housing 110, the pull-out assembly 120 sequentially passes through a first position and a second position. When the pull-out assembly 120 is in the first position, the second end of the connecting rod 132 overlaps with the guide surface 141. When the pull-out assembly 120 is in the second position, the side of the connecting rod 132 near the first end overlaps with the guide surface 141.
[0073] In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the pull-out assembly 120 and the connecting rod 132 is defined. During the process of the pull-out assembly 120 moving out of the housing 110, the pull-out assembly 120 sequentially passes through a first position and a second position. As shown in Figure 7, when the pull-out assembly 120 is in the first position, the second end of the connecting rod 132 overlaps with the guide surface 141, and the second end of the connecting rod 132 is away from the hinge point between the connecting rod 132 and the pull-out assembly 120. When the guide surface 141 supports the second end of the connecting rod 132, the guide member 140 lifts the bracket 130 to a relatively small height. As shown in Figure 9, when the pull-out assembly 120 is in the second position, the side of the connecting rod 132 closest to the first end overlaps with the guide surface 141. This position is close to the hinge point between the connecting rod 132 and the pull-out assembly 120. When the guide surface 141 supports the side of the connecting rod 132 closest to the first end, the guide member 140 lifts the bracket 130 to a relatively large height.
[0074] Specifically, during the process of the pull-out assembly 120 moving out of the housing 110, as shown in Figure 7, the pull-out assembly 120 first moves to the first position, and the second end of the connecting rod 132 first engages with the guide surface 141. As the pull-out assembly 120 moves towards the outside of the housing 110, as shown in Figure 8, the connecting rod 132 moves along the guide surface 141 until the pull-out assembly 120 moves to the second position (as shown in Figure 9), where the connecting rod 132 engages with the guide surface 141 near the first end. The arrows in Figures 7, 8, and 9 indicate the direction of movement of the pull-out assembly 120. During this process, the distance between the second end of the connecting rod 132 and the pull-out assembly 120 continuously increases, and the support member 131 continuously rises, thereby raising the container 200 through the support member 131 (as shown in Figures 10 and 11), realizing the angled movement of the container 200.
[0075] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2, 4 and 5, the pull-out assembly 120 may optionally include: a drawer 121; and a shelf 122 mounted on the drawer 121 for holding a container 200.
[0076] In this embodiment, the structure of the pull-out assembly 120 is defined. The pull-out assembly 120 includes a drawer 121 and a shelf 122. The drawer 121 is movably mounted on the housing 110, and can be moved in and out of the housing 110. The drawer 121 has a cavity for placing items such as food. The shelf 122 is mounted on the drawer 121 and is used to hold the container 200. When the drawer 121 moves in and out of the housing 110, the drawer 121 moves the shelf 122 along with it, allowing the shelf 122 to move the container 200 in and out of the housing 110, facilitating the user's access to the container 200.
[0077] In one possible embodiment, the shelf 122 is mounted on top of the drawer 121, which makes it convenient for the user to take the container 200 on the shelf 122.
[0078] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5, the placement rack 122 may optionally include: a main frame 123, mounted on the drawer 121; a plurality of placement rods 124 connected to the main frame 123, the plurality of placement rods 124 being arranged sequentially along the width direction of the main frame 123, any two adjacent placement rods 124 having a gap between them, and any two adjacent placement rods 124 defining a placement slot 125 for accommodating the container 200.
[0079] In this embodiment, the structure of the storage rack 122 is defined. The storage rack 122 includes a main frame 123 and a plurality of storage rods 124. The main frame 123 is mounted on the drawer 121, and the storage rods 124 are connected to the main frame 123. The storage rods 124 are used to support the container 200 placed on the storage rack 122. Specifically, the plurality of storage rods 124 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the main frame 123, and there is a gap between any two adjacent storage rods 124, so that a storage groove 125 is defined between any two adjacent storage rods 124. The two ends of the container 200 are placed on the storage rods 124, and the middle part of the container 200 is located in the storage groove 125. This not only limits the container 200 by the storage rods 124 to prevent the container 200 from rolling on the storage rack 122, but also reduces the overall weight of the storage rack 122.
[0080] In some embodiments, optionally, any of the placement rods 124 has an edge.
[0081] In this embodiment, the structure of the placement rod 124 is defined. Each placement rod 124 has an edge, which allows the container 200 to be positioned. Understandably, the container 200 is placed between two placement rods 124, and by providing edges on the placement rods 124, the container 200 can be positioned to prevent it from rolling between the two placement rods 124. Furthermore, when the shape of the container 200 matches the cross-sectional shape of the placement rod 124, the positioning effect of the placement rod 124 on the container 200 can be further enhanced. The cross-sectional shape of the placement rod 124 can be a rectangle, triangle, hexagon, or other polygonal shape.
[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2, FIG4 and FIG5, the support member 131 has a plurality of bends 133 for supporting the container 200, and the plurality of bends 133 are correspondingly arranged with a plurality of placement slots 125.
[0083] In this embodiment, the structure of the support member 131 is defined. The support member 131 is used to support the container 200, and the support member 131 has multiple bends 133 for supporting the container 200. Specifically, the container 200 is placed on the placement rack 122, and a portion of any container 200 overlaps with the bend 133, which supports the container 200. Multiple containers 200 can be placed on the placement rack 122, and the multiple containers 200 overlap with their respective bends 133. By providing bends 133 on the support member 131, the containers 200 can be further limited by the bends 133 to prevent them from rolling on the placement rack 122.
[0084] Furthermore, multiple bends 133 are correspondingly provided in multiple placement slots 125. A portion of the container 200 is placed in the corresponding placement slot 125, and a portion of the container 200 overlaps the corresponding bend 133. The placement slots 125 and bends 133 can jointly limit the container 200 and prevent the container 200 from rolling on the placement rack 122.
[0085] In some embodiments, optionally as shown in FIG5, the drawer device 100 further includes: a slide rail assembly 150, which is installed on the housing 110. The slide rail assembly 150 includes: a slide rail frame 151, which is installed on the inner wall of the housing 110; and a slide rail 152, which is installed on the drawer 121. When the drawer 121 moves into or out of the housing 110, the drawer 121 drives the slide rail 152 to move along the slide rail frame 151.
[0086] In this embodiment, the structure of the drawer assembly 100 is further defined. To mount the drawer 121 onto the housing 110 and enable the drawer 121 to move relative to the housing 110, this application further includes a slide rail assembly 150 in the drawer assembly 100. The slide rail assembly 150 includes a slide rail frame 151 and a slide rail 152. The slide rail frame 151 is mounted on the inner wall of the housing 110, and the slide rail 152 is mounted on the drawer 121. The slide rail 152 is adapted to the slide rail frame 151. When the drawer 121 moves into or out of the housing 110, the drawer 121 drives the slide rail 152 to move along the slide rail frame 151. Thus, on the one hand, the drawer 121 can be mounted onto the housing 110 through the cooperation of the slide rail 152 and the slide rail frame 151; on the other hand, the drawer 121 can move relative to the housing 110.
[0087] In one possible embodiment, there are two slide rail brackets 151, which are respectively installed on the inner sides of two opposite side walls of the cabinet 110, and there are two slide rails 152, which are respectively installed on both sides of the drawer 121.
[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5, the drawer device 100 may optionally include: a pulley bracket 160, which is installed on the inner wall of the box 110; and a pulley assembly 170, which is installed on the placement rack 122. When the placement rack 122 moves into or out of the box 110, the placement rack 122 drives the pulley assembly 170 to roll along the pulley bracket 160.
[0089] In this embodiment, the structure of the drawer device 100 is further defined. To further limit the positioning of the shelf 122 and enable it to move stably relative to the cabinet 110, this application also provides a pulley bracket 160 and a pulley assembly 170 in the drawer device 100. Specifically, the pulley bracket 160 is installed on the inner wall of the cabinet 110, and the pulley assembly 170 is installed on the shelf 122, with the pulley assembly 170 adapted to the pulley bracket 160. When the shelf 122 moves into or out of the cabinet 110, the shelf 122 can drive the pulley assembly 170 to roll along the pulley bracket 160. This allows the shelf 122 to move stably relative to the cabinet 110.
[0090] In one possible embodiment, there are two pulley brackets 160, which are respectively installed on the inner sides of two opposite side walls of the housing 110. There are two pulley assemblies 170, which are respectively installed on both sides of the placement rack 122.
[0091] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5, the pulley assembly 170 may optionally include: at least one upper pulley 171; at least one lower pulley 172, wherein the upper pulley 171 and the lower pulley 172 are respectively engaged with the top and bottom of the pulley bracket 160 and are respectively capable of rolling along the top and bottom of the pulley bracket 160.
[0092] In this embodiment, the structure of the pulley assembly 170 is defined. The pulley assembly 170 includes at least one upper pulley 171 and at least one lower pulley 172. The upper pulley 171 and the lower pulley 172 are located on the upper and lower sides of the pulley bracket 160, respectively. The upper pulley 171 and the lower pulley 172 are respectively engaged with the top and bottom of the pulley bracket 160, so that the placement rack 122 can be limited by the cooperation of the upper pulley 171 and the lower pulley 172 with the pulley bracket 160. Furthermore, the upper pulley 171 and the lower pulley 172 can also roll along the top and bottom of the pulley bracket 160, respectively, so that the placement rack 122 can move stably relative to the box 110.
[0093] In one possible embodiment, the pulley assembly 170 has multiple upper pulleys 171 and multiple lower pulleys 172, which are arranged sequentially along the length of the placement frame 122 to improve the stability of the movement of the placement frame 122.
[0094] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5, the drawer device 100 may optionally include a hinge 180 mounted on the pull-out assembly 120, and a bracket 130 rotatably connected to the pull-out assembly 120 via the hinge 180.
[0095] In this embodiment, the structure of the drawer device 100 is further defined. The drawer device 100 also includes a hinge 180, which is used to rotatably connect the bracket 130 to the pull-out assembly 120. Specifically, the hinge 180 is installed on both sides of the pull-out assembly 120, and the connecting rod 132 in the bracket 130 is connected to the hinge 180, so that the connecting rod 132 can rotate relative to the pull-out assembly 120 around the hinge 180, thereby realizing that the bracket 130 is rotatably connected to the pull-out assembly 120 through the hinge 180. By providing the hinge 180 on the pull-out assembly 120, on the one hand, the bracket 130 can be installed on the pull-out assembly 120 through the hinge 180, and on the other hand, the bracket 130 can rotate relative to the pull-out assembly 120 around the hinge 180.
[0096] In some embodiments, the drawer device 100 may optionally include a drive device connected to the pull-out assembly 120, the drive device being used to drive the pull-out assembly 120 to move into and out of the housing 110.
[0097] In this embodiment, the structure of the drawer device 100 is further defined. The drawer device 100 also includes a drive device for moving the pull-out assembly 120 relative to the housing 110. Specifically, the drive device is connected to the pull-out assembly 120 and can drive the pull-out assembly 120 into and out of the housing 110. By providing a drive device in the drawer device 100, the movement of the pull-out assembly 120 can be achieved without manual operation by the user, improving user convenience. The drive device can be a motor.
[0098] In some embodiments, optionally, as shown in FIG2, there is a gap between the bracket 130 and the end of the pull-out assembly 120 facing the outside of the housing 110 along the length direction of the pull-out assembly 120.
[0099] In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the support 130 and the pull-out assembly 120 is defined. Along the length of the pull-out assembly 120, there is a gap between the ends of the support 130 and the pull-out assembly 120 facing outwards from the housing 110. Understandably, when the pull-out assembly 120 moves out of the housing 110, it pulls the container 200 out of the housing 110 along with it. If the ends of the support 130 and the pull-out assembly 120 facing outwards from the housing 110 are flush, then as soon as the pull-out assembly 120 moves out of the housing 110, the support 130 will lift the container 200, which could easily cause the container 200 to get stuck at the opening of the housing 110. To avoid the aforementioned problems, this application provides a gap between the bracket 130 and the ends of the pull-out assembly 120 facing the outside of the housing 110. When the pull-out assembly 120 moves out of the housing 110, a portion of the container 200 first moves out of the housing 110 along with the pull-out assembly 120. Then, until the pull-out assembly 120 moves to the first position, the bracket 130 overlaps the guide surface 141, and one end of the bracket 130 is raised, thereby raising the container 200. This allows the container 200 to move at an angle while preventing the container 200 from getting stuck at the opening of the housing 110.
[0100] The second aspect of this application also proposes an electrical device including the drawer device 100 proposed in the first aspect of this application.
[0101] The electrical equipment provided in the second aspect of this application, since it includes the drawer device 100 proposed in the first aspect of this application, has all the beneficial effects of the drawer device 100.
[0102] Electrical appliances include refrigerators, freezers, wine coolers, or cold storage compartments.
[0103] In one possible embodiment, the drawer device 100 proposed in this application includes a drawer 121 that moves horizontally via a guide rail (i.e., slide rail assembly 150), and a shelf (i.e., a placement shelf 122) with casters (i.e., caster assembly 170) that opens together with the drawer 121. A bottle rack (i.e., a support 130) is mounted on the wheeled shelf (i.e., placement shelf 122) by a bottle rack hinge (i.e., a hinge 180), which is used to fix the bottle rack. The bottle rack rotates about the fulcrum formed by the bottle rack hinge. Rotational movement supports (i.e., guide members 140) are mounted on both sides of the cabinet (i.e., the cabinet body 110), which are used to provide rotational movement for the bottle rack.
[0104] When drawer 121 is opened, the side of the bottle rack (i.e., connecting rod 132) contacts the rotating motion support (i.e., guide 140). Due to the angled contact between the bottle rack and the rotating motion support's surface (i.e., guide surface 141), the bottle rack begins to rotate. During this contact, the angle between the bottle rack and the wheeled shelf gradually increases. The angle between the bottle rack and the shelf reaches its maximum when drawer 121 is fully open. When drawer 121 is closed, or when the wheeled shelf closes independently of drawer 121, the angle between the bottle rack and the shelf returns to its initial minimum.
