The components of the embodiments of the present application, generally described and illustrated in the figures herein, can be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, presented in the accompanying drawings, is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the application.

The volumes of the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber of the refrigerators sold in the market at present are determined when the refrigerators leave a factory, cannot be adjusted, and the volume of the freezing chamber is smaller than that of the refrigerating chamber generally. Due to the change of seasons and the change of eating demands of users, the conventional refrigerator cannot meet the use demands of the users.
In order to meet the use requirement, a user may need to buy the refrigerator again, so that the purchase cost is increased, and the occupied area is increased.
In the prior art, an independent compartment is arranged in a refrigerating chamber or a freezing chamber, a user can change the refrigerating or freezing function of the compartment by controlling an electromagnetic valve or an air door, and the method needs the cooperation of an additional sensor, so that the production cost and the energy consumption are increased, and the resource waste is caused.
It is considered that the volumes of the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber of the existing refrigerator cannot be changed. Based on this, this application embodiment provides a refrigerator and a method for changing the volume of a refrigerator compartment, and the following description is given by way of example.
To facilitate understanding of the present embodiment, a refrigerator disclosed in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail first.
The embodiment of the application provides a refrigerator, as shown in fig. 1, which shows a schematic internal structure diagram of the refrigerator, and comprises a refrigerator body 1 and a partition plate 2, wherein the partition plate 2 divides the interior of the refrigerator body 1 into a first compartment 15 and a second compartment 16;
the displacement assembly 5 is arranged on the inner wall of the box body 1, the partition plate 2 is connected with the inner wall of the box body 1 through the displacement assembly 5, and the partition plate 2 can move along the displacement assembly 5 so as to adjust the volume of the first compartment 15 and the volume of the second compartment 16.
The refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the application can realize the adjustment of the volume of the first compartment 15 and the volume of the second compartment 16 by moving the partition plate 2.
The partition board 2 divides the interior of the box body 1 into a first compartment 15 and a second compartment 16, a part of the inner wall of the box body 1, the partition board 2 and the first door 3 form the first compartment 15, and a part of the inner wall of the box body 1, the partition board 2 and the second door 4 form the second compartment 16, according to actual use requirements, the first compartment 15 can be set as a freezing compartment, the second compartment 16 can be set as a refrigerating compartment, the first compartment 15 can be set as the refrigerating compartment, and the second compartment 16 can be set as the freezing compartment. Since the sum of the volumes of the first compartment 15 and the second compartment 16 is the volume of the box body 1, the volume of the second compartment 16 inevitably increases when the volume of the first compartment 15 decreases; as the volume of the first compartment 15 increases, the volume of the second compartment 16 necessarily decreases. Considering that the side wall of the cabinet 1 is provided with the air duct, the partition plate 2 cannot be moved to a position adjacent to the side wall of the cabinet 1, and therefore the volume of the first compartment 15 or the volume of the second compartment 16 cannot be infinitely reduced to zero. In practical use, the user can change the volume of the first compartment 15 or the second compartment 16 according to the use requirement, and the design of the refrigerator is more humanized.
The partition board 2 is further provided with a retractable layered board 6, as shown in fig. 2, a structural schematic diagram of the layered board of the refrigerator is shown, the layered board 6 divides the first compartment 15 and the second compartment 16 into a plurality of layers of cavities so as to change the volume of each layer of cavity in the first compartment 15 and the second compartment 16, the layered board 6 comprises an upper layered board and a lower layered board, one end of the lower layered board is fixed on the inner wall of the box body 1, one end of the upper layered board is fixed on the partition board 2, the lower surface of the upper layered board is in contact with the upper surface of the lower layered board, the upper layered board can move relative to the lower layered board along with the movement of the partition board 2, and the layered board 6 can meet the use requirements of users for placing and storing articles in.
Considering that the door of the refrigerator used by a general user is opened and closed left and right, it is preferable that the partition plate 2 is vertically disposed inside the cabinet 1, the partition plate 2 divides the inside of the cabinet 1 into two left and right compartments, i.e., a first compartment 15 and a second compartment 16, the positions of the first compartment 15 and the second compartment 16 are set according to actual conditions, and the partition plate 2 can move left and right to change the volume of the first compartment 15 and the volume of the second compartment 16.
Here, the displacement assembly 5 may include a slide rail disposed on an inner wall of the box 1 and a pulley adapted to the slide rail, specifically, the slide rail may be disposed on an inner wall of one side of the box 1, or the slide rail may be disposed on inner walls of two sides parallel to the box 1 at the same time, the slide rail may be along a direction in which the second compartment 16 leads to the first compartment 15, the partition plate 2 may move from the second compartment 16 to the first compartment 15 along the slide rail under the driving of the pulley, or may move from the first compartment 15 to the second compartment 16 along the slide rail.
In a specific implementation, the partition plate 2 can be moved by means of manual operation, but also by means of operation of the control device. The partition plate 2 is controlled to move, for example, by an electrically controlled pulley.
In order to reduce the air exchange between the first compartment 15 and the second compartment 16, as shown in fig. 3, a partition structure of the refrigerator is shown, a sealing strip 11 may be provided at the edge of the partition 2, and the sealing strip 11 may form a sealing ring to enhance the heat insulation effect of the partition 2. The sealing strip 11 can be elastic material, can change the inseparable degree of sealing strip 11 and box 1's inner wall contact through the method of applying external force to sealing strip 11, when sealing strip 11 and box 1's inner wall in close contact with, sealing strip 11 can play the effect of sealing up the gap between the inner wall of partition board 2 and box 1, guarantee that the thermal-insulated effect in first compartment 15 and the second compartment 16 is better, and because sealing strip 11 has certain frictional force with box 1's inner wall, consequently when sealing strip 11 and box 1's inner wall in close contact with, can guarantee that partition board 2 and box 1's inner wall is difficult to take place relative movement, play the fixed effect of antiskid.
In the implementation, the tightness of the sealing strip 11 with the inner wall of the box 1 can be controlled by the connecting piece 12. Specifically, the connecting member 12 may be used to connect with the sealing tape 11, and the connecting member 12 may be a connecting rod or a connecting wire.
If the connecting member 12 is a connecting rod, an external force can be applied to the connecting rod so that the sealing strip 11 is in close contact with the inner wall of the box body 1 when the connecting rod supports the sealing strip 11, and the sealing strip 11 can be far away from the inner wall of the box body 1 when the connecting rod pulls the sealing strip 11; if the connecting member 12 is a connecting wire, the sealing tape 11 is kept in contact with the inner wall of the box body 1 when the connecting wire is not operated, and the sealing tape 11 is pulled away from the inner wall of the box body 1. In actual practice, the effect of controlling the tightness of the weather strip 11 with the inner wall of the case 1 by the connecting rod is not as good as the effect of controlling the tightness of the weather strip 11 with the inner wall of the case 1 by the connecting rod, so the present embodiment preferably uses the connecting rod.
In order to control the connecting member 12 conveniently, a control switch 13 can be provided, the control switch 13 is connected with the sealing strip 11 through the connecting member 12, and when the control switch 13 is triggered, the tightness of the contact between the sealing strip 11 and the inner wall of the box body 1 can be controlled through the connecting member 12.
Preferably, the control switch 13 may be a sealing knob, which may drive the sealing strip 11 via the connecting member 12 when rotated. For example, when connecting piece 12 is the connecting rod, connecting rod one end can be articulated with sealed knob, and the connecting rod other end is connected with sealing strip 11, can exert external force to the connecting rod when sealed knob rotates, and the connecting rod can drive sealing strip 11 deformation under the effect of external force. Specifically, when the sealing knob rotates, thrust can be applied to the connecting rod, and the connecting rod supports the sealing strip 11 under the action of the thrust, so that the sealing strip 11 is in close contact with the inner wall of the box body 1, and the purpose of sealing is achieved; the sealing knob can exert pulling force to the connecting rod when rotating, and the connecting rod drives the sealing strip 11 under the effect of pulling force to make the sealing strip 11 keep away from the inner wall of box 1, reaches the purpose of reducing the resistance between the inner wall of division board 2 and box 1 when removing division board 2. In specific implementation, the sealing knob can be set to apply thrust to the connecting rod when rotating clockwise, and the sealing knob can also be set to apply thrust to the connecting rod when rotating anticlockwise.
Preferably, the control switch 13 may be disposed on the partition plate 2, and before the user moves the partition plate 2, the user firstly operates the control switch 13 to make the sealing strip 11 away from the inner wall of the box body 1, then moves the partition plate 2, determines the position of the partition plate 2, and then operates the control switch 13 to make the sealing strip 11 closely contact with the inner wall of the box body 1, so as to ensure that the partition plate 2 is not easy to move relative to the inner wall of the box body 1, and ensure that the heat insulation effect of the partition plate 2 reaches the optimal state.
