The drawer is supported on the brackets and the guide rails on the side walls on the left and right sides of the drawer respectively, and can be pulled out or pushed back to the refrigerating compartment along the guide rails.

This arrangement maximizes the use of the compartment space, but presents a number of problems. For example, the existing bracket is generally of a two-piece structure, that is, a left symmetrical support member and a right symmetrical support member are spliced together, and the overall stability is relatively poor. The two supporting pieces are connected by a buckle, and the connecting mode is that the two supporting pieces are fastened by a fastener such as a screw at a part (such as the bottom of the supporting piece). As the weight of the left and right drawers supported by the frame increases, this connection can result in the possibility of the two supports cracking away from the fastener.

On the other hand, the two supporting members are easy to have assembly errors when being assembled together, so that obvious height difference exists after the two drawers are pushed back to the refrigerating compartment. Especially, when the two drawers on the left and the right have a significant difference due to the load, the difference in height between the two drawers may be more significant. Also, due to assembly errors, the front surfaces of the two drawers may not be on the same vertical plane, resulting in a drawer that is very unsightly when located in a refrigerated compartment.

Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a refrigeration appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 5 is a schematic view of a variation of the refrigeration appliance shown in fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows the specific structure of the refrigerating compartment of the refrigerator where the indoor support and the two storage containers are located.

The refrigeration appliance may comprise a refrigerator, a freezer or the like. Fig. 1 and 5 show an example that the refrigeration appliance 1 includes one refrigeration compartment 11, in practical applications, the refrigeration appliance 1 may include a plurality of refrigeration compartments 11, and any refrigeration compartment 11 may employ the specific structure described in this embodiment. For example, the refrigerating compartment 11 may include a refrigerating compartment, a freezing compartment, and a warming compartment.

For convenience of description, in the present embodiment, the width direction of the refrigeration device 1 is referred to as the x direction, the depth direction of the refrigeration device 1 is referred to as the y direction, and the height direction of the refrigeration device 1 is referred to as the z direction.

The refrigeration appliance 1 may include a housing 15 having an opening exposing the refrigeration compartment 11, and a door (not shown) capable of opening or closing the opening, and the refrigeration compartment 11 may be surrounded by a top wall, a bottom wall 11a, a rear wall 11b, and a pair of side walls 11c.

Specifically, the refrigeration appliance 1 may include two storage containers 12 arranged side by side in the refrigeration compartment 11. For example, the storage container 12 may be a drawer. The two storage containers 12 may be arranged side by side in the x-direction in the refrigerated compartment 11.

Further, the two storage containers 12 are partitioned by the bracket 2, the bracket rail 21 is connected to a side surface of the bracket 2, and the two storage containers 12 are respectively connected to the bracket rail 21 on a side surface of the adjacent bracket 2 and can be pulled out or pushed back to the refrigerating compartment 11 along the bracket rail 21.

Further, a part opposite to the rack 2 in the x direction may be provided with a compartment rail 14, and the storage container 12 between the rack 2 and the part may be connected to the rack rail 21 and the compartment rail 14 and may be drawn out or pushed back to the refrigerating compartment 11 along the rack rail 21 and the compartment rail 14. Thus, the rack rail 21 and the compartment rail 14, which are disposed opposite each other, support the storage container 12 therebetween.

For example, two storage containers 12 may be placed side by side in the x direction in the refrigeration compartment 11, in this scenario, the number of the racks 2 is one, and the two storage containers 12 are partitioned by the racks 2, and the component opposite to the racks 2 may be a side wall 11c of the refrigeration compartment 11. At this time, the storage container 12 is supported by the compartment rail 12 provided on the side wall 11c and the rack rail 21 of the rack 2.

For another example, three or more storage containers may be placed side by side in the x direction in the refrigeration compartment 11, in this scenario, the number of the racks 2 may be multiple, and the adjacent storage containers 12 are separated by the racks 2, and the part opposite to one of the racks 2 may be the other rack 2 or the side wall 11c. At this time, both sides of the storage container 12 may be the brackets 2, or both sides of the storage container 12 may be the brackets 2 and the side walls 11c of the refrigerating compartment 11, respectively.

Next, the specific structure of the bracket 2 will be described in detail with reference to fig. 2 to 4. Wherein FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the stent of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a schematic view from another perspective of the stand shown in FIG. 2; fig. 4 is an exploded view of the bracket shown in fig. 3.

Specifically, the bracket 2 may include a longitudinal support portion 22, and two extension support portions 23 extending outward from both sides of the longitudinal support portion 22, respectively. For example, the longitudinal support portion 22 may extend upward in the z direction from between the two extension support portions 23 to form the side surface of the holder 2 on the plane formed by the z direction and the y direction. Accordingly, the bracket rails 21 are respectively connected to both sides of the longitudinal support portion 22 in the x direction to support the two storage containers 12 located at both sides of the longitudinal support portion 22.

The two extending supports 23 can be used as fixing seats respectively located on two sides of the bracket 2 to support and fix the longitudinal supports 22 on a left-right pair. The extension support 23 is adapted to increase the contact area of the bracket 2 with the bottom wall 11a of the refrigeration compartment 11, so that the bracket 2 is more stably supported within the refrigeration compartment 11.

Further, with continued reference to fig. 1, the extension support 23 and the storage container 12 on the same side of the bracket 2 at least partially overlap in the z-direction to increase the width of the storage container 12 in the x-direction to increase the volume of the storage container 12.

Further, the two extending support portions 23 and the longitudinal support portion 22 form an integrated structure, so as to solve the problem that the rack rails 21 connected to both sides of the longitudinal support portion 22 cannot be aligned due to the assembly error of the rack 2, and greatly reduce the height difference between the two storage containers 12 respectively connected to the rack rails 21 on both sides.

In one implementation, with continued reference to fig. 1, for the extension support 23 and the storage container 12 located on the same side of the bracket 2 along the z-direction, the extension support 23 may be located below the storage container 12. In this implementation, the width of the storage container 12 in the x-direction may be substantially equal to the distance of the longitudinal support 22 to the side wall 11c of the refrigeration compartment 11. Thereby, the storage container 12 and the extension support 23 are not on the same horizontal plane, so that the width of the storage container 12 can be maximized, thereby increasing the volume of the storage container 12.

In one implementation, referring to fig. 1 and 5, the extending direction of the extending support 23 extending outward from the side of the longitudinal support 22 may be parallel to the x-direction. Therefore, along the y direction, the whole bracket 2 is in an inverted T shape, and the stability is good.

In one implementation, referring to fig. 5, the extension support 23 extends in the y-direction from the opening of the refrigeration compartment 11 to the rear wall 11b of the refrigeration compartment 11.

For example, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic view of the stent of fig. 5, the length of the extension support 23 in the y-direction may be substantially equal to the length of the bottom of the longitudinal support 22 in the y-direction. Wherein the longitudinal support 22 has opposite top and bottom portions in the z-direction, said bottom portion being connected to said extension support 23.

For another example, referring to fig. 2, the length of the extension support 23 in the y direction may be slightly greater than the length of the bottom of the longitudinal support 22 in the y direction for better stability.

Thus, the longitudinal support portion 22 supports the refrigeration compartment 11 in the entire depth direction (i.e., the y direction), so that the force received from the storage container 12 can be uniformly distributed on the bottom wall 11a of the refrigeration compartment 11. Further, the supporting effect on the longitudinal supporting portion 22 is more stable, so that the left-right shaking degree in the drawing process of the storage container 12 can be reduced.

In one implementation, the longitudinal support 22 may extend in the y-direction from the opening of the refrigeration compartment 11 to the rear wall 11b of the refrigeration compartment 11. Further, the longitudinal support portion 22 may extend upward from a part of the carrier bracket 2 to a part located above the two storage containers 12 in the z direction to separate both sides of the longitudinal support portion 22 in the x direction into two independent spaces.

For example, the part carrying the rack 2 may comprise the bottom wall 11a of the refrigerated compartment 11, as shown in fig. 1 and 5. For example, the components located above the two storage containers 12 may include a storage tray 3, as shown in fig. 5. Therefore, the storage tray 3, the bracket 2 and the side wall 11c and the bottom wall 11a of the refrigeration compartment 11 are matched to divide the refrigeration compartment 11 into a plurality of independent subareas, and the two storage containers 12 are respectively positioned in different subareas. Furthermore, the temperature in different subareas can realize the differentiation setting so as to meet the diversified storage requirements of users.

Alternatively, the parts carrying the rack 2 may also be the storage tray 3. Still alternatively, the component located above the two storage containers 12 may be a top wall of the refrigeration compartment 11.

Therefore, the bracket 2 can form a partition plate to partition the left space and the right space and isolate the cold degree exchange of the left independent space and the right independent space. Further, two storage container 12 are located two independent spaces about respectively, and the temperature in two independent spaces can realize the differentiation setting for the user can deposit article in suitable storage container 12 according to the storage temperature that article needed.

Further, the storage tray 3 may be supported above the two storage containers 12 by the support structure 111. The support structures 111 may be oppositely disposed on the pair of sidewalls 11c.

In one implementation, reference is made to fig. 2-7, where fig. 7 is an exploded view of the stent shown in fig. 6. Specifically, the rack rail 21 may include a first rail 211 adapted to support one of the two storage containers 12, and a second rail 212 adapted to support the other of the two storage containers 12.

Further, the longitudinal supporting portion 22 may include a first mounting portion 221 for mounting the first rail 211.

Further, the longitudinal support portion 22 may further include a second mounting portion 222 for mounting the second rail 212. Also, the first mounting portion 221 and the second mounting portion 222 are not collinear along the x-direction.

Thus, the offset design of the mounting portions (i.e., the first mounting portion 221 and the second mounting portion 222) of the rack rail 21 on both sides of the longitudinal support portion 22 can greatly reduce the width W of the longitudinal support portion 22 in the x-direction compared to the prior art in which the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion must be arranged side by side in the x-direction. Thus, it is advantageous to increase the available volume available for storage in the refrigeration compartment 11, for example, the volume of two storage containers 12 arranged side by side in the refrigeration compartment 11 may be increased.

For example, the width W of the longitudinal support 22 in the x direction may be 30 mm or less. Thus, the present embodiment provides a bracket 2 having a very thin thickness, which can greatly increase the volume of the refrigerator 1. Preferably, the width W of the longitudinal support 22 in the x direction may be 25 mm.

In one implementation, with continued reference to fig. 4 and 7, the direction in which the first mounting portion 221 points toward the second mounting portion 222 may be parallel to the y-direction. By arranging the two mounting portions at intervals along the y direction, the two mounting portions can be kept at the same height in the z direction.

Alternatively, the direction in which the first mounting portion 221 points toward the second mounting portion 222 may be perpendicular to the y-direction, that is, two mounting portions are spaced apart along the z-direction. Through setting up two installation departments to unequal height in the z direction, do benefit to the storing container that nimble adaptation has special guide rail installation demand.

Further, the first mounting portion 221 and the second mounting portion 222 are provided on the same member of the longitudinal support portion 22, and are formed on the same mold at the time of manufacturing. Thus, the positional deviation between the two mounting portions can be minimized so that the direction in which the first mounting portion 221 points toward the second mounting portion 222 can be parallel to the z-direction or the y-direction as much as possible. And no assembly error is introduced.

In one implementation, the width W of the longitudinal support portion 22 along the x-direction is the greater of the lengths of the first and second mounting portions 221, 222. For example, when the lengths of the first and second mounting portions 221 and 222 in the x direction are equal, the width W of the longitudinal support portion 22 only needs to be greater than the length of a single mounting portion.

Since the first mounting portion 221 and the second mounting portion 222 no longer need to be held at the same position on both the left and right sides of the longitudinal supporting portion 22, the width W of the longitudinal supporting portion 22 in the x direction is reduced from the sum of the lengths of the first mounting portion 221 and the second mounting portion 222 to the larger of the two mounting portions. Thereby, the thickness of the longitudinal support portion 22 (i.e., the width W in the x direction) is thinned so much that the width of the storage container 12 can be increased appropriately. The increase in the width of the storage container 12 increases the volume of the storage container 12, and thus increases the usage volume of the refrigeration compartment 11.

In one implementation, with continued reference to fig. 4 and 7, the first mounting portion 221 can include a first screw post, the second mounting portion 222 can include a second screw post, and the first and second screw posts can be offset back and forth along the y-direction. Thus, the thickness of the longitudinal support portion 22 need only be greater than the length of a single screw, and the thickness of the longitudinal support portion 22 is significantly reduced.

In one implementation, the longitudinal support portion 22 may include a first support 24 for connecting the first mounting portion 221 and the second mounting portion 222. Thus, the longitudinal support portion 22 is a single piece to prevent the longitudinal support portion from being split to both sides by the weight of the storage container 12 connected to both sides.

For example, a first screw column and a second screw column each penetrate the first support 24 in the x direction so as to be connected to the first guide rail 211 by a first screw column on one side of the first support 24 in the x direction and to be connected to the second guide rail 212 by a second screw column on the other side of the first support 24 in the x direction.

In one implementation, the longitudinal support 22 may be comprised of two supports that are adjacent in the x-direction. Specifically, referring to fig. 2 to 8, the longitudinal support portion 22 may further include a second support 25 disposed adjacent to the first support 24 in the x-direction, in addition to the first support 24. Wherein fig. 7 is an exploded view of the bracket shown in fig. 6; fig. 8 is a schematic view of another perspective of the second support member of fig. 7.

Further, the second support 25 may be used to connect a third mounting portion 223, the third mounting portion 223 cooperating with the second mounting portion 222 to mount the second rail 212. In addition, the third mounting portion 223 and the second mounting portion 222 cooperate to mount the second guide rail 212, and simultaneously, the first support member 24 and the second support member 25 can be fixed, so that the two support members are prevented from being separated to form a gap due to the action force of the left and right storage containers 12 during actual use.

That is, in the present embodiment, the first rail 211 is connected to the side of the longitudinal support portion 22 where the first support 24 is located through the first mounting portion 221, and the second rail 212 is connected to the side of the longitudinal support portion 22 where the second support 25 is located through the third mounting portion 223 and the second mounting portion 222. Due to the cooperation of the second mounting portion 222 and the third supporting portion 223, the first support 24 and the second support 25 are fastened as a whole. The weight of the storage container 12 to which the first rail 211 and the second rail 212 and the two bracket rails 21 are respectively connected acts on the entire longitudinal support 22. The first support member 24 and the second support member 25 are no longer subjected to the force of the adjacent storage container 12 by themselves, and therefore the longitudinal support portion 22 does not split.

Further, along the direction (i.e., x direction) in which the first support 24 points toward the second support 25, the third mounting portion 223 is located opposite to the second mounting portion 222 to cooperatively mount the second rail 212 together.

Further, referring to fig. 7 to 11, the second mounting portion 222 may include a second screw post, and the third mounting portion 223 may include a screw hole, the second screw post and the screw hole being coupled by a screw 26, and the first and second supports 24 and 25 are fastened while fixing the second rail 212 with the screw 26. Wherein fig. 9 is a schematic view of the bracket shown in fig. 6 in combination with a second guide rail; FIG. 10 isbase:Sub>A cross-sectional view taken along A-A of FIG. 9; fig. 11 is a partially enlarged view of the region B in fig. 10.

For example, the screw 26 may be a self-tapping screw, and the screw 26 is driven into a screw hole and a second screw post from the side of the second support 25 to connect the second mounting portion 222 and the second mounting portion 223 together, thereby fastening the first support 24 and the second support 25 together.

Further, a first screw column may extend through the first support 24 to connect the first rail 211 at the side of the first support 24. A screw hole penetrates the second support 25 to connect the second rail 212 from the side of the second support 25. The second screw stud may be a blind hole and provided with an opening only on the side facing the second support 25.

In one implementation, with continued reference to fig. 4, 7, and 8, the second support 25 may be provided with a snap-in portion 251, and the first support 24 may be provided with an adapter portion 241, the snap-in portion 251 being coupled with the adapter portion 241 to secure the first support 24 and the second support 25.

For example, the locking portions 251 may be spaced along the edge of the second support 25, and correspondingly, the fitting portions 241 may be spaced along the edge of the first support 24 to fasten the two supports together around the same.

For example, the locking portion 251 may be a hook, and the adapting portion 241 may be a groove, and the hook may hook the groove to achieve coupling. Alternatively, the locking portion 251 may be a groove, and the adapting portion 241 may be a hook.

Therefore, the first supporting piece 24 and the second supporting piece 25 can be fixed into a whole, and the two supporting pieces are prevented from being separated to form a gap under the influence of the acting force of the left and right storage containers 12 in the actual use period. Further, on the basis that the second mounting portion 222 and the third mounting portion 223 cooperate to fasten the first support 24 and the second support 25, the coupling of the locking portion 251 and the adapting portion 241 can strengthen the fastening effect on the first support 24 and the second support 25.

In one implementation, with reference to fig. 1 to 10, the splicing seams of the first support 24 and the second support 25 are located at the sides of the longitudinal support 22, at least at the opening facing the refrigeration compartment 11 along the y-direction. Therefore, the splicing seam can not be seen when the bracket 2 is observed from the opening of the refrigeration compartment 11, and the appearance and the texture are favorably improved.

Specifically, the first support 24 may include a shielding portion 242, and the shielding portion 242 covers at least the front end of the second support 25 so that there is no visible splice mark on the front surface of the longitudinal support 22. The second support 25 has a front end facing the opening of the refrigeration compartment 11 and a rear end facing the rear wall 11b of the refrigeration compartment 11.

For example, the shielding portion 242 may include a first flange 243, and the first flange 243 may be formed by bending an edge of the front end of the first support 24 toward the second support 25. The first support 24 has a front end facing the opening of the refrigeration compartment 11 and a rear end facing the rear wall 11b of the refrigeration compartment 11.

For another example, the shielding portion 242 may further include a second flange 244, the second flange 244 may be formed by bending the edge at the top of the first support 24 toward the second support 25, and the second flange 244 covers the top end of the second support 25.

For another example, the shielding portion 242 may further include a third flange 245, the third flange 245 is formed by bending the edge of the rear end of the first support 24 toward the second support 25, and the third flange 245 covers the rear end of the second support 25.

Thus, at a position where the longitudinal support portion 22 may be visible to the user, neither the first support 24 nor the second support 25 is divided centrally, and appearance and texture can be improved.

In one implementation, referring to fig. 7, 8 and 10, the edge of the second support 25 is bent toward the first support 24 to form a fourth flange 252, and the shielding portion 242 covers the fourth flange 252. Accordingly, even if the first stay 24 and the second stay 25 are separated to both sides by the gravity of the left and right storage containers 12, no significant crack is formed on the front surface of the longitudinal support portion 22.

Further, the locking portion 251 may be provided at any one or any plurality of the first flange 243, the second flange 244, and the third flange 245. Correspondingly, the fitting portion 241 may be disposed at the fourth flange 252.

In a variant, the first support 24 may have a recess opening towards the side of the longitudinal support 22, and the second support 25 may be used to close said opening, which may also be such that the splice seam of the first and second supports 24, 25 is located at the side of the longitudinal support 22. Therefore, the first support piece 24 and the second support piece 25 are skillfully separated, and the splicing seam formed on the front surface of the longitudinal support part 22 is prevented from influencing the appearance. Wherein, the front surface of the longitudinal support portion 22 is a surface facing the opening of the refrigeration compartment 11.

In one implementation, referring to fig. 1 to 7, the extension support 23 may be fixed to the bottom wall 11a of the refrigerating compartment 11 by means of bolting. For example, the extension supports 23 located at both sides of the longitudinal support 22 may be respectively bolted to the bottom wall 11a of the refrigerating compartment 11 at both ends in the y direction to restrict the bracket 2 from wobbling. At this time, the holder 2 has four fixing points with the bottom wall 11a as shown in fig. 6 and 7.

Alternatively, the extension support 23 may have a T shape in which three fixed points are fixed to the bottom wall 11a of the refrigerating compartment 11 by bolts, respectively, when the bracket 2 is viewed in the z direction. The bracket 2 now has three points of attachment to the bottom wall 11a, as shown in figures 2 to 4.

In one implementation, reference is made to fig. 12 and 13, wherein fig. 12 is a bottom schematic view of the bracket shown in fig. 6, and fig. 13 is a partial cross-sectional view of region C when the bracket shown in fig. 12 is secured to the bottom wall of the refrigeration compartment.

Specifically, the bottom wall 11a of the refrigerating compartment 11 may be provided with a fixing portion 13 for fixing the extension support portion 23. This also enables the holder 2 to be firmly fixed to the bottom wall 11a, thereby improving the stability of the holder 2.

For example, the extension support 23 may be provided with a U-shaped structure 27, and the fixing portion 13 may be a bolt and screwed to the bottom wall 11a of the refrigeration compartment 11 from an opening of the U-shaped structure 27 along the z-direction, so as to fix the extension support 23 to the bottom wall 11a.

The U-shaped structure 27 may be provided at the rear end of the extension support 23 in the y-direction and below the longitudinal support 22 in the z-direction. At this time, the two bolt fixing points provided at the rear end of the extension support 23 in the y direction and located on both sides of the longitudinal support 22 in the above embodiment may be eliminated, and the bracket 2 has three fixing points with the bottom wall 11a.

Alternatively, the U-shaped structure 27 may coexist with bolt-fixing points at the front and rear ends of the extension support 23, as shown in fig. 12. At this time, the holder 2 has five fixing points with the bottom wall 11a.

Further, with continued reference to fig. 12, the extension supports 23 on both sides of the longitudinal support 22 may not be completely communicated at the bottom surface of the bracket 2, and the interval between the two extension supports 23 in the x direction may be equal to the width W of the longitudinal support 22 in the x direction.

Adopt this embodiment, can provide a support 2 that stability is good, structural strength is high, connect in two storing container 12 of this support 2 and be difficult for producing the difference in height, do benefit to and improve the pleasing to the eye degree that storing container 12 placed in refrigeration room 11.

Specifically, the left and right extension support portions 23 can support and fix the longitudinal support portion 22, so that the overall stability of the bracket 2 is good and the structural strength is high. For example, the mounting portions (i.e., the first mounting portion 221 and the second mounting portion 222) of the longitudinal supporting portion 22 for connecting the rack rails 21 are aligned with a higher precision by a mold to eliminate a height difference of the rack rails 21 on both sides as much as possible.
