Embodiments of the present invention provide a storage device that is adapted to rest in a refrigerator or other storage device having a particular storage environment or to be used alone. Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the storage device 10 of the present invention includes at least two drawers arranged one above the other. Further, when the storage device 10 is used as a stand-alone storage device, the storage device 10 may further include a body (not shown) for accommodating at least two drawers thereof, and the body has a front opening to allow the drawers of the storage device 10 to be operatively drawn out of or inserted into the body through the front opening. Specifically, the two sides of the drawer can be provided with sliding blocks or rollers, and the inner wall of the side plate of the body can be provided with sliding grooves or sliding rails, so that the drawer can be slidably arranged in the body.
Fig. 2 is another schematic configuration diagram of a storage apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 3 is still another schematic configuration diagram of the storage apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in particular, the bottom plate 110 of the upper drawer 100 of two adjacent drawers is configured to be openably and closably disposed at the bottom of the upper drawer 100, so that the upper drawer 100 and the lower drawer 200 below form two containers independent of each other to be separately drawn when the bottom plate 110 is in a closed state; and the upper and lower drawers 100 and 200 form one container having a receiving space penetrating the upper and lower drawers 100 and 200 to be integrally drawn when the bottom plate 110 is in the open state.
That is, when the bottom plate 110 is in the closed state (see fig. 1), the upper drawer 100 and the lower drawer 200 are two containers, respectively, the two containers can be drawn and pulled independently, and the receiving spaces of the two containers are independent of each other, so that the articles having a small size in the vertical direction can be sorted and stored, and thus, after the storage device 10 is placed in the refrigerator, the loss of cooling capacity and the energy consumption of the refrigerator can be reduced. When the bottom plate 110 is in an open state (see fig. 3), the upper drawer 100 and the lower drawer 200 form a container which can be integrally drawn, and the accommodating spaces of the upper drawer 100 and the lower drawer 200 are vertically communicated and jointly form the accommodating space of the container, so that the container has a large storage space in the vertical direction so as to be convenient for storing objects with large sizes in the vertical direction. Therefore, the storage space of the storage device 10 in the vertical direction is flexible and variable, so that a user can conveniently adjust the size of the accommodating space of the storage device 10 according to the actual storage requirement, the use performance of the storage device 10 is improved, and the use experience of the user is improved.
In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the lower drawer 200 has an accommodating portion 210 disposed on an inner wall of a side panel thereof to accommodate the bottom panel 110 in an open state therein. The receiving portion 210 is configured to make the front end surface and the rear end surface of the bottom plate 110 received therein abut against the front end plate 120 and the rear end plate 130 of the upper drawer 100, respectively, so that the upper drawer 100 and the lower drawer 200 are integrally drawn. The height of the front end plate 120 of the upper drawer 100 in the vertical direction is less than or equal to the height of the rear end plate 130 of the upper drawer 100 in the vertical direction.
That is, the receiving portion is provided on the side panel of the lower drawer 200 and is located inside the lower drawer 200. When the bottom plate 110 is in the open state, the bottom plate 110 may be temporarily accommodated in the accommodating portion 210, and the bottom plate 110 accommodated in the accommodating portion 210 abuts against the front and rear end plates of the upper drawer 100. Thus, when a user pulls either one of the upper drawer 100 and the lower drawer 200, the other drawer is simultaneously pulled by abutment between the upper drawer bottom 110 and the upper drawer front and rear end plates. That is, two adjacent drawers can be simultaneously pulled and pulled by receiving the bottom plate 110 of the upper drawer 100 in the receiving portion 210 of the lower drawer 200, without adding an additional connecting mechanism, so that the structure of the storage device 10 is simpler; when the storage device is used by a user, additional connection or disassembly operation is not needed, so that the storage device 10 is more convenient to use.
Further, when the bottom plate 110 of the upper drawer 100 is in the open state, the bottom plate 110 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 210 of the lower drawer 200, and the accommodating portion 210 can provide a temporary storage space for the bottom plate 110, so that the bottom plate 110 of the upper drawer 100 needs to be taken at any time when being in the closed state again, thereby avoiding the loss of the bottom plate 110 of the upper drawer 100 and improving the user experience.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom plate 110 may comprise two bottom plates arranged side by side in a direction perpendicular to the drawing direction of the upper drawer 100 and the lower drawer 200. The inner walls of the two side plates of the lower drawer 200 are respectively provided with a receiving portion 210 for receiving the two bottom plates of the bottom plate 110. Specifically, the bottom plate 110 includes a first bottom plate body 111 and a second bottom plate body 112 arranged side by side in the lateral direction. An accommodating portion 210 is provided on an inner wall of each of the one side plate 220 and the other side plate 230 of the lower drawer 200 to accommodate the first bottom panel 111 and the second bottom panel 112 in an opened state, respectively.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the receiving portion 210 has a peripheral wall extending from an inner wall of the side panel of the lower drawer 200 toward the inside of the lower drawer 200 and a side wall extending from an outer edge of the peripheral wall in a direction parallel to the side panel of the lower drawer 200, the peripheral wall and the side wall defining a receiving space of the receiving portion 210 with the side panel of the lower drawer 200 therebetween. Specifically, the receiving space of the receiving part 210 is defined between the side plate 220 and the peripheral wall and the side wall of the receiving part 210 on the side plate 220 of the lower drawer 200, and the receiving space of the receiving part 210 is defined between the side plate 230 and the peripheral wall and the side wall of the receiving part 210 on the side plate 230 of the lower drawer 200. The peripheral wall of the receiving portion 210 may include front and rear sections extending in a substantially vertical direction and a bottom section extending in a substantially horizontal direction such that the receiving portion 210 has an upper opening, thereby facilitating insertion of the first and second bottom panels 111 and 112 into the receiving portion 210 from above downward through the upper opening of the receiving portion 210.
Further, the receiving space of the receiving portion 210 is slot-shaped, and the depth of the receiving space is smaller than the width of the bottom plate, so as to allow the upper portion of the bottom plate received in the receiving portion 210 to be exposed above the receiving space, so that the upper portions of the front end surface and the rear end surface of the bottom plate are respectively abutted against the front end plate 120 and the rear end plate 130 of the upper drawer 100. That is, after the first and second bottom panels 111 and 112 are received in the receiving portion 210, upper portions of both of the bottom panels are higher than an upper opening of the receiving portion 210 (see fig. 3).
Specifically, the first and second bottom panels 111, 112 have substantially the same thickness, length and width, with the length extending in the front-to-rear direction being the length and the width extending in the lateral direction being the width of the two bottom panels in the closed state. The length of the peripheral wall of the receiving portion 210 extending from the inner wall of the side plate of the lower drawer 200 to the inside of the lower drawer 200 may be slightly greater than the thickness of the first and second bottom panels 111 and 112, and the length of the side wall of the receiving portion 210 extending in the front-rear direction may be slightly greater than the length of the first and second bottom panels 111 and 112, so that a slot-shaped receiving space having a certain depth is defined in the receiving portion 210, and the first and second bottom panels 111 and 112 can be smoothly inserted into or removed from the receiving portion 210.
Fig. 4 is a partially schematic exploded view of a storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 4, the first bottom panel 111 is exploded from the storage device 10. In some embodiments of the present invention, the front end surface and the rear end surface of each bottom plate are provided with grooves extending along the width direction of the bottom plate. Specifically, referring to fig. 2 and 4, taking the first bottom plate 111 as an example, a front end surface 1111 of the first bottom plate 111 is provided with a groove 1112 extending along the width direction of the first bottom plate 111, and a rear end surface (not shown in the figure) of the first bottom plate 111 is provided with a groove 1114 extending along the width direction of the first bottom plate 111 (see fig. 5). The two grooves extend long enough to allow the lower end surface of the first bottom plate 111 to abut against the bottom of the accommodating portion 210 when the first bottom plate 111 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 210.
Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along a sectional line a-a in fig. 1, and fig. 6 is a schematic enlarged view of a portion B in fig. 5. Further, the bottom of the inner wall of the front panel 120 of the upper drawer 100 is provided with two rotating shafts 121 which are adjacent to the two side panels of the upper drawer 100 respectively and extend convexly towards the rear, and the bottom of the inner wall of the rear panel 130 of the upper drawer 100 is provided with two rotating shafts 131 which are adjacent to the two side panels of the upper drawer 100 respectively and extend convexly towards the front. Two rotating shafts adjacent to the same side plate of the upper drawer 100 are respectively inserted into the grooves of the front end surface and the rear end surface of the same bottom plate, so as to allow the bottom plate to pivot around the axis where the two rotating shafts are located, and allow the bottom plate to be inserted into one of the accommodating portions 210 of the lower drawer 200 from top to bottom when the bottom plate is pivoted to the vertical placement state.
Specifically, the two shafts adjacent to the same side plate of the upper drawer 100 are two opposite shafts on the front end plate 120 and the rear end plate 130, respectively, which extend along the same straight line to provide a pivot axis for the bottom plate. Taking the first bottom plate 111 as an example, referring to fig. 5 and 6, the rotating shaft 121 and the rotating shaft 131 adjacent to the right side plate of the upper drawer 100 are respectively inserted into the groove 1112 and the groove 1114 of the front end surface 1111 and the rear end surface of the first bottom plate, so that the first bottom plate 111 pivots about the straight line where the rotating shaft 121 and the rotating shaft 131 are located. The groove of the first bottom plate 111 is a narrow groove extending along the width direction thereof, and when the first bottom plate 111 is pivoted to the vertical placement state, under the action of gravity of the first bottom plate 111, the rotating shaft 121 and the rotating shaft 131 can respectively slide relative to the grooves of the front end surface and the rear end surface of the first bottom plate 111, that is, the first bottom plate 111 falls into the corresponding accommodating portion 210 under the action of its own gravity. Therefore, the matching of the rotating shafts 121 and 131 with the grooves of the first bottom plate 111 provides a pivot axis for the first bottom plate 111 when switching between the open state and the closed state thereof, and also plays a role in guiding the first bottom plate 111 to fall into the accommodating portion 210 from top to bottom.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that in the embodiment of the present invention, the structural features and the operation principle of the second bottom plate 112 are the same as those of the first bottom plate 111, and the structure of the accommodating portion 210 matched with the second bottom plate 112 is the same as that of the accommodating portion 210 matched with the first bottom plate 111, and the description thereof is omitted here.
In some embodiments of the invention, both bottom panels have a pivoting side adjacent their own pivot axis and an opening side opposite their own pivoting side. Specifically, the pivoting sides of the two bottom panels are adjacent to the two side panels of the upper drawer 100, respectively, and the open sides of the two bottom panels are adjacent to or abutting each other when both bottom panels are in the closed state.
Further, both bottom panels have through holes adjacent to their own open sides to apply a force to the two bottom panels through the through holes to open and/or close them. Specifically, referring to fig. 2, the first bottom plate 111 has a through hole 1113 adjacent to the open side thereof, the second bottom plate 112 has a through hole 1123 adjacent to the open side thereof, and the through hole 1113 and the through hole 1123 may be opened at the middle positions of the first bottom plate 111 and the second bottom plate 112 along the length direction thereof, respectively, and penetrate the first bottom plate 111 and the second bottom plate 112 along the thickness direction thereof, thereby providing a point of application for a user to switch the open and closed states of the first bottom plate 111 and the second bottom plate 112, facilitating the user's operation.
Fig. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along section line C-C in fig. 3. Referring to fig. 2 and 7, in some examples of the present invention, the bottom portions of the inner walls of the front end plate 120 and the rear end plate 130 of the upper drawer 100 are each provided with a step portion protruding toward the inside of the upper drawer 100, and the front end surface and the rear end surface of the two bottom plates received in the receiving portion 210 abut against the step portion 122 on the front end plate 120 and the step portion 132 on the rear end plate 130, respectively. The stepped portions 122 and 132 each extend in a direction perpendicular to both side plates of the upper drawer 100, and the length in which both stepped portions extend is substantially the same as the width of the front and rear end plates of the upper drawer 100. That is, the stepped portions 122 and 132 extend in the lateral direction, and both ends of each stepped portion may be adjacent to or abut against the inner walls of the two side panels of the upper drawer 100, respectively. The distance between the rearward surface of the step portion 122 and the forward surface of the step portion 132 is substantially the same as the length of the first and second bottom plate bodies 111 and 112, so that the front and rear end surfaces of the first and second bottom plate bodies 111 and 112 abut against the rearward surface of the step portion 122 and the forward surface of the step portion 132, respectively. Further, the rotation shafts 121 and 131 may extend toward the inside of the upper drawer 100 from the rear surface of the stepped portion 122 and the front surface of the stepped portion 132, respectively.
Further, the upper drawer 100 further includes a support plate horizontally extending from the stepped portions of the front and rear end plates 120 and 130 toward the inside of the upper drawer 100 to support the two bottom panels in a closed state. Namely, when the bottom plate body is in a closed state, the front end and the rear end of the bottom plate body are respectively supported on the two supporting plates.
