As shown in connection with fig. 1-5, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a drawer 10 for a refrigerator. The drawer 10 for a refrigerator includes a case 11 and a telescopic partition 20. The cassette 11 includes a storage cavity 111. The telescopic partition 20 is disposed on a side wall of the box 11, and the telescopic partition 20 is located in the storage cavity 111. The telescoping diaphragm 20 includes a push-pull 21. Wherein the push-pull portion 21 is used for driving the telescopic partition plate 20 to switch between an extended state for partitioning the storage cavity 111 and a retracted state for returning to the initial position.

In this embodiment, the telescopic partition 20 is disposed on the side wall of the box 11, so as to partition the storage cavity 111. For example, the telescopic partition 20 is horizontally disposed in the storage cavity 111 and fixed on a side wall of the box 11, and when the telescopic partition 20 is in an extended state, the storage cavity 111 can be divided into an upper storage area and a lower storage area. Through the extension of the extension partition plate 20, the extension position of the extension partition plate 20 is adjusted, so that a user can adjust the size of the storage area according to requirements.

In this embodiment, the push-pull portion 21 drives the telescopic partition plate 20 to switch between an extended state in which the storage cavity 111 is partitioned and a retracted state in which the telescopic partition plate 20 returns to an initial position, so that the storage cavity 111 can be partitioned when the telescopic partition plate 20 is in the extended state; in the retracted state, the occupation of the volume of the storage chamber 111 can be reduced.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, optionally, the extending direction of the extending partition 20 is perpendicular to the side wall of the box 11, so as to realize that when the extending partition 20 is in the extending state, the storage cavity 111 can be partitioned in the up-down direction.

Exemplary:

In the event that the user does not have a classified storage requirement, the retractable barrier 20 is in a retracted state and the user can store a large amount of food material into the storage cavity 111. The retractable partition 20 in the retracted state is small in size, occupies a small volume in the storage cavity 111 of the drawer 10, and basically does not affect the volume of the storage cavity 111.

In the case of a user's classified storage requirement, the telescopic partition 20 is adjusted to be in an extended state to partition the storage chamber 111. For example, the user extends the retractable barrier 20 to a proper position according to the size of the volume of the food material. At this time, in the storage cavity 111 of the drawer 10, the telescopic partition 20 divides the position thereof into an upper storage area and a lower storage area, and both the upper storage area and the lower storage area can be used for placing small-sized food; the area in front of the expansion diaphragm 20 is not partitioned vertically, and thus can be used for placing a large volume of food. It will be appreciated that the area in front of the telescoping shield 20 is in communication with the lower storage area and can be used to store larger volumes of food. When the user needs to adjust the storage area of the food materials, the telescopic partition plate 20 can be retracted or lengthened to adjust the size of the storage area.

In the event that the user requires two relatively independent storage areas, the telescoping bulkhead 20 is fully extended. That is, the stretchable partition 20 is stretched to be attached to the side wall of the case 11 in front of it. At this time, the storage cavity 111 of the drawer 10 is completely divided into an upper storage area and a lower storage area, and the upper storage area and the lower storage area are relatively independent. The lower storage area below the telescopic partition plate 20 is in a closed state, so that a special storage area for food materials can be formed, and the area isolation effect is realized. For example, for a food material having a relatively high taste, it may be placed in the storage cavity 111 and the retractable barrier 20 may be fully extended to place the food material in the enclosed lower storage area. Other food materials may continue to be stored through the upper storage area above the telescoping shield 20.

In the case where a user needs to store a large amount of food materials, the retractable barrier 20 in the extended state is retracted to the retracted state. That is, the telescoping shield 20 is returned to the initial position. Release of the space of the storage cavity 111 of the drawer 10 is realized to place a large amount of food materials.

As shown in connection with fig. 1-4, in some embodiments, telescoping bulkhead 20 includes a receiving end plate 22 and a telescoping plate 23. The receiving end plate 22 includes a receiving chamber 221 having a receiving opening. The expansion plate 23 is inserted into the storage end plate 22 from the storage opening of the storage chamber 221, and the expansion plate 23 is slidably engaged with the storage end plate 22. The push-pull portion 21 is located at an end of the expansion plate 23 remote from the storage end plate 22. When the expansion barrier 20 is in the extended state, the expansion plate 23 extends out of the storage chamber 221. When the retractable barrier 20 is in the retracted state, the retractable plate 23 is retracted into the housing chamber 221.

In this embodiment, the expansion plate 23 is slidably engaged with the storage end plate 22, so that the expansion plate 23 is switched between an extended state extending from the storage chamber 221 and a retracted state retracted into the storage chamber 221, and the expansion partition 20 is switched between the extended state and the retracted state.

In this embodiment, the push-pull portion 21 is pushed or pulled back to drive the expansion plate 23 to extend out of the accommodating cavity 221 or retract into the accommodating cavity 221. In practical application, the push-pull part 21 can be pushed or pulled back manually by a user, and the push-pull part 21 can also be pushed or pulled back by the driving piece 13. For example, the driving member 13 is an electric push rod.

Optionally, the accommodating end plate 22 is fixedly connected with the side wall of the box body 11, so as to realize that the telescopic partition 20 is stably arranged in the storage cavity 111.

Optionally, the receiving end plate 22 is detachably connected to the side wall of the case 11, for example, by a snap-fit connection. When the user does not need the retractable partition 20, the retractable partition 20 can be detached, and the space in the storage chamber 221 can be completely released.

Optionally, the receiving end plate 22 is movably connected with a side wall of the case 11. In the case where the drawer 10 further includes the support table 12, the telescopic diaphragm 20 is provided on the support table 12 and is movable with respect to the support table 12. When in use, a user can extend the telescopic partition 20 to a target length and move the telescopic partition 20 to a target position on the support table 12, so as to partition the target position in the storage cavity 221.

It will be appreciated that the manner in which the receiving end plate 22 is movably connected to the side wall of the case 11 is not limited. For example, a moving column is provided on the storage end plate 22, a slide is provided on the side wall of the case 11, and the moving column slides with respect to the slide to move the retractable partition 20 on the support base 12.

As shown in connection with fig. 1, in some embodiments, with the telescoping bulkhead 20 in the retracted state, the push-pull portion 21 is located at the receiving opening of the receiving chamber 221.

In this embodiment, by pulling the push-pull portion 21 back to the receiving opening of the receiving chamber 221, the integrity is improved and the space is saved.

As shown in connection with fig. 1, 3 and 4, the push-pull portion 21 may alternatively be a plate-like structure. The push-pull portion 21 is connected to an end of the expansion plate 23 remote from the storage end plate 22. When the push-pull portion 21 is located at the receiving opening of the receiving chamber 221, the push-pull portion 21 can block the receiving opening, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance.

As described in connection with fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, expansion plate 23 includes an expansion chamber 231 having an opening. The expansion plate 23 is provided with one or more. In the case where the plurality of expansion plates 23 are provided, the plurality of expansion plates 23 are inserted in sequence from the opening of the expansion chamber 231 and the adjacent two expansion plates 23 are slidably fitted, so that the next expansion plate 23 is switched between the extended state of extending from the expansion chamber 231 of the previous expansion plate 23 and the retracted state of retracting into the expansion chamber 231 of the previous expansion plate 23. The expansion plate 23 at the head end is inserted into the accommodating end plate 22 from the accommodating opening of the accommodating cavity 221, and the expansion plate 23 at the head end is in sliding fit with the accommodating end plate 22. The push-pull portion 21 is provided at one end of the distal expansion plate 23 remote from the storage end plate 22.

In this embodiment, the plurality of expansion plates 23 are sequentially inserted from the opening of the expansion chamber 231 and the two adjacent expansion plates 23 are in sliding fit, so that the next expansion plate 23 can be switched between the extended state of the expansion chamber 231 extending from the previous expansion plate 23 and the retracted state of the expansion chamber 231 retracted into the previous expansion plate 23. That is, the expansion and contraction of the expansion and contraction partition plate 20 is realized by the plurality of expansion and contraction plates 23.

In this embodiment, the expansion plate 23 located at the head end is inserted into the accommodating end plate 22 from the accommodating opening of the accommodating cavity 221, and the expansion plate 23 located at the head end is slidably matched with the accommodating end plate 22, so that the expansion plates 23 can extend out of the accommodating cavity 221 of the accommodating end plate 22, or the expansion plates 23 can retract into the accommodating cavity 221 of the accommodating end plate 22. When the retractable partition 20 is in the retracted state, the plurality of retractable plates 23 are retracted into the accommodating cavity 221 of the accommodating end plate 22, thereby saving space and occupying a smaller volume in the drawer 10.

Alternatively, in the case where the expansion plate 23 is provided with one, the expansion plate 23 is inserted into the accommodation end plate 22 from the accommodation opening of the accommodation chamber 221, and the expansion plate 23 is slidably fitted with the accommodation end plate 22 to achieve expansion and contraction of the expansion diaphragm 20.

As described in connection with fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the telescoping shield 20 further includes a chute 24 and a spool 25. The chute 24 is opened on the inner wall of the storage end plate 22 and the inner wall of the expansion plate 23, and the chute 24 extends along the expansion direction of the expansion plate 23. The slide post 25 is provided outside the end portion of the expansion plate 23, and the slide post 25 is slidable along the slide groove 24. Wherein, the sliding column 25 of the expansion plate 23 at the head end slides along the sliding groove 24 of the inner wall of the accommodating end plate 22 to realize the sliding fit of the expansion plate 23 and the accommodating end plate 22; the slide posts 25 of the next expansion plate 23 slide along the slide grooves 24 of the inner wall of the previous expansion plate 23 to realize the sliding fit of the adjacent two expansion plates 23.

In this embodiment, the sliding column 25 of the expansion plate 23 located at the head end slides along the sliding groove 24 of the inner wall of the storage end plate 22, so that the expansion plate 23 and the storage end plate 22 are slidably engaged, and the expansion plate 23 extends out of the storage cavity 221 and retracts into the storage cavity 221.

In this embodiment, by sliding the slide post 25 of the next expansion plate 23 along the slide groove 24 of the inner wall of the previous expansion plate 23, the two adjacent expansion plates 23 can be slidably engaged, and further the next expansion plate 23 can be switched between the extended state extending from the expansion chamber 231 of the previous expansion plate 23 and the retracted state retracted into the expansion chamber 231 of the previous expansion plate 23.

As described in connection with fig. 1 and 5, in some embodiments, the drawer 10 for a refrigerator further includes a support table 12. The supporting table 12 is disposed on the case 11, and the supporting table 12 protrudes from the inner wall of the case 11. The telescopic partition 20 is installed on the support base 12.

In this embodiment, the telescopic partition 20 is supported by the support base 12, so that stability and strength of the telescopic partition 20 when an article is placed thereon are improved.

As described in connection with fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the drawer 10 for a refrigerator further includes a driving member 13. The driving member 13 is provided to the case 11. The driving end of the driving member 13 is connected to the push-pull portion 21. Wherein the driving member 13 is used for driving the push-pull part 21 to move so as to drive the telescopic partition 20 to switch between an extended state and a retracted state.

In this embodiment, the driving member 13 drives the push-pull portion 21 to move, so as to drive the expansion plate 23 to extend out of the accommodating cavity 221 or retract into the accommodating cavity 221, thereby realizing the switching of the expansion partition 20 between the extending state and the retracting state.

Alternatively, the driving member 13 includes an electric push rod.

As described with reference to fig. 1 and 2, alternatively, the driving member 13 is mounted on a side wall of the case 11, and the driving member 13 is supported by the case 11, so as to improve the stability of moving the push-pull portion 21.

In some embodiments, the drawer 10 for a refrigerator further includes a controller. The controller is in control connection with the driving piece 13, and the controller is used for controlling the driving piece 13 to work.

In this embodiment, the controller controls the driving member 13 to operate to drive the push-pull portion 21 to move, so as to drive the expansion plate 23 to extend out of the accommodating cavity 221 or retract into the accommodating cavity 221.

Optionally, the drawer 10 for the refrigerator further includes an extension key switch, a closing key, and a retraction key switch, respectively, connected to the controller.

In this embodiment, when the user presses the extending button switch, the controller controls the driving member 13 to operate to drive the expansion plate 23 to extend out of the accommodating cavity 221, and after the expansion plate 23 extends out to the target position, the user presses the closing button, and the controller controls the driving member 13 to stop operating. When the user needs to retract the expansion plate 23, the retraction button switch is pressed, the controller controls the driving piece 13 to work so as to drive the expansion plate 23 to retract, after the expansion plate 23 is retracted to the target position, the user presses the closing button, and the controller controls the driving piece 13 to stop working. When the telescopic diaphragm 20 is retracted to the initial position, the controller automatically controls the driving member 13 to stop operating.

It will be appreciated that in actual use, the telescopic partition 20 may be provided with a plurality of gear positions according to the extension.

As shown in connection with fig. 1 and 3, in some embodiments, the drawer 10 for a refrigerator further includes a distance sensor 14. The distance sensor 14 is provided in the push-pull portion 21, and detects distance information between the push-pull portion 21 and a side wall of the case 11 located at the front side in the extending direction of the telescopic partition 20. The signal output of the distance sensor 14 is connected to the signal input of the controller for transmitting distance information to the controller.

In this embodiment, the distance information between the push-pull portion 21 and the side wall of the case 11 located in front of the push-pull portion 21 or the shielding position in front of the push-pull portion 21 is detected by the distance sensor 14, so as to realize accurate control of the extension length of the expansion partition 20. The controller is used for controlling the driving piece 13 to work according to the distance information detected by the distance sensor 14.

Illustratively, four distance sensors 14 (respectively, a first distance sensor, a second distance sensor, a third distance sensor, and a fourth distance sensor) are mounted on the push-pull portion 21. The first distance sensor, the second distance sensor, the third distance sensor and the fourth distance sensor are uniformly arranged on the push-pull portion 21, and are respectively used for detecting distance information between the position of the push-pull portion 21 where each distance sensor is located and the side wall of the box body 11 in front of each distance sensor or the shielding position in front of the push-pull portion 21. On the premise that no food material is placed in the drawer 10, the working process of the drawer 10 is described:

In the initial state, the telescopic diaphragm 20 is in the initial position. At this time, the first distance sensor detects the distance information between the push-pull portion 21 and the side wall of the case 11 in front of it, and sets the first initial value La. The second distance sensor detects distance information between the push-pull portion 21 and the side wall of the case 11 in front of it, and sets the distance information to a second initial value Lb. The third distance sensor detects distance information between the push-pull portion 21 and the side wall of the case 11 in front of it, and sets the detected distance information to a third initial value Lc. The fourth distance sensor detects distance information between the push-pull portion 21 and the side wall of the case 11 in front of it, and sets the detected distance information to a fourth initial value Ld. At this time, the expansion diaphragm 20 is extended forward by the driving of the driving part 13, and if the distance information detected by the four distance sensors 14 is close to 0, the storage chamber 111 in the case 11 is completely partitioned into an upper storage area and a lower storage area.

When the user opens the refrigerator door, the controller may control the driving part 13 to operate according to the signal that the door body is opened, so that the telescopic partition 20 is in the initial position. After the user puts the food material to be stored into the drawer 10, the refrigerator door is closed. The controller may obtain a signal that the door is closed. At this time, the first distance sensor detects distance information between the push-pull portion 21 and the shielding position in front thereof, and obtains a first detection value La1. The second distance sensor detects distance information between the push-pull portion 21 and the shielding position in front thereof, and obtains a second detection value Lb1. The third distance sensor detects distance information between the push-pull portion 21 and the shielding position in front thereof, and obtains a third detection value Lc1. The fourth distance sensor detects distance information between the push-pull portion 21 and the shielding position in front thereof, and obtains a fourth detection value Ld1.

The controller makes the following judgment:

If the difference between the first detection value La1 and the first initial value La, the difference between the second detection value Lb1 and the second initial value Lb, the difference between the third detection value Lc1 and the third initial value Lc, and the difference between the fourth detection value Ld1 and the fourth initial value Ld are all smaller than the preset threshold Δl. At this time, the height of the food materials in the drawer 10 is lower than the height of the telescopic partition 20. The controller controls the driving part 13 to work, so that the telescopic partition plate 20 extends forwards, and the telescopic partition plate 20 stops extending until the distance information detected by the four distance sensors 14 is close to 0, so that the storage cavity 111 in the drawer 10 is completely divided into an upper storage area and a lower storage area. At this time, the food material in the lower layer storage area is in a closed environment, so that the storage and fresh-keeping effects of the food material are improved.

If at least one of the difference between the first detection value La1 and the first initial value La, the difference between the second detection value Lb1 and the second initial value Lb, the difference between the third detection value Lc1 and the third initial value Lc, and the difference between the fourth detection value Ld1 and the fourth initial value Ld is greater than the threshold value Δl, a maximum value Δlmax of the four differences is obtained. At this time, the height of the food material in the drawer 10 exceeds the height of the position of the telescopic partition 20. The controller controls the driving part 13 to work, so that the telescopic partition plate 20 extends forwards and extends for a detection value distance corresponding to the maximum value DeltaLmax, the telescopic partition plate 20 stops extending, and a part of space in the storage cavity 111 in the drawer 10 is an upper storage area and a lower storage area, so that a user can conveniently store food in the upper storage area next time, and automatic partition storage of the food is realized.

The embodiment of the disclosure also provides a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a cabinet and a drawer 10 for the refrigerator as in any one of the previous embodiments. The box body is provided with a storage space. The drawer 10 for the refrigerator is provided to the case, and the drawer 10 for the refrigerator is located in the storage space.
