Solution Overview
Problem
Existing refrigeration appliances face challenges with partition components that lack stable and convenient mounting structures, leading to inefficient space utilization and cumbersome installation processes.
Innovation Solution
A refrigeration appliance design featuring a protrusion on the side wall with a recess for mounting a partition plate and push-pull container, utilizing ribs and barrier strips for support and shielding, allowing for efficient space utilization and simplified installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a partition plate is mounted on the inner wall through a snap-fit connection or screw connection, then the mounting stability is improved, but the mounting process becomes cumbersome and dismounting is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The partition plate is nested within the recess of the protrusion structure, where the protrusion integrates both the push-pull container mounting position and the partition plate mounting recess. This nested arrangement allows the partition plate to be securely held within the recess space without requiring separate mounting operations, achieving both stability and ease of installation through a single integrated structure.
2Reliability
If a dedicated mounting position is reserved on the inner wall for the partition plate, then the mounting stability is improved, but the space utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The protrusion structure merges two functions into one: it provides the mounting position for the push-pull container while simultaneously containing the recess for the partition plate. This combination eliminates the need for separate dedicated mounting positions, allowing the partition plate to utilize the space within the protrusion recess, thereby improving overall space utilization efficiency while maintaining mounting stability.

AI summary
A refrigeration appliance includes a storage compartment, two side walls delimiting the storage compartment in a width direction of the refrigeration appliance, a push-pull container located within the storage compartment, a partition plate located above the push-pull container, and a protrusion located on at least one of the side walls. The protrusion is configured to provide a mounting position for the push-pull container and the partition plate. A recess for mounting the partition plate is provided on the protrusion. The partition plate is accommodated in the recess of the protrusion, which makes full use of the side wall space occupied by the protrusion, eliminates a need to provide an additional space for mounting the partition plate, and significantly improves space utilization efficiency.
