Detailed Description

The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples shown in the drawings. These examples are not intended to limit the present invention, and structural, methodological, or functional changes made by those skilled in the art according to these embodiments are included in the scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1 to 14, an embodiment of the present invention provides a refrigerator including a cabinet 1, a bracket assembly, a storage part 3, and a height adjustment assembly.

The box body 1 encloses a receiving chamber 10, and the receiving chamber 10 may be one or more of a refrigerating chamber, a freezing chamber, a temperature changing chamber, and the like.

The carriage assembly is mounted to the housing 1 and is slidable relative to the housing 1 in a first direction from a rest position to an operative position. By way of example, the rest position can be understood as: the position of the rack assembly relative to the cabinet 1 when the refrigerator is used for refrigerating and storing food normally at most of the time; the working position can be understood as: in the case where the refrigerator is subjected to a non-destructive operation by a user at a small number of times, the carriage assembly is at (or near) a limit of travel in the first direction with respect to the cabinet 1. Of course, this is only an example of the rest position and the working position according to the present embodiment, and the present invention is not limited thereto, for example, the carriage assembly may also slightly move in the first direction from the working position in a non-destructive manner.

The storage part 3 is used for placing food and is directly and/or indirectly connected to the bracket assembly so as to be supported by the bracket assembly. Specifically, the support of the bracket assembly may be realized by pressing the bracket assembly above the bracket assembly, or may be realized by suspending the bracket assembly below the bracket assembly.

And, storing portion 3 passes through the height adjustment subassembly and is connected to the bracket component movably in vertical direction, the first direction is perpendicular with vertical direction mutually, promptly the first direction is the horizontal direction. Under the action of the height adjusting assembly, the height of the storage part 3 in the vertical direction can be changed relative to the bracket assembly, namely the storage part 3 can be lifted or lowered relative to the bracket assembly.

The height adjustment assembly comprises a support rod mechanism and a driving mechanism.

Wherein: the support rod mechanism is respectively movably connected with the support component and the storage part 3, namely movably connected with the support component and movably connected with the storage part 3; the driving mechanism comprises a first driving end 511 and a second driving end 512 adapted to correspond to the first driving end 511.

The first and second driving ends 511, 512 are relatively movable to accumulate a restoring force therebetween when the carriage assembly is moved from the rest position to the operative position. When the bracket assembly moves to the working position, under the action of the reset force, the first driving end 511 resets relative to the second driving end 512, the first driving end 511 drives the supporting rod mechanism to move, and the supporting rod mechanism drives the storage part 3 to change the height relative to the bracket assembly. For example: if the storage part 3 is disposed at the bottom of the refrigerator, the lifting height of the storage part 3 relative to the bracket assembly is changed from the original state to the lifting state under the driving of the first driving end 511, so as to prevent a user from bending down or squatting down to take and place food; if the storage part 3 is disposed on the top of the refrigerator, the storage part 3 is lowered relative to the rack assembly by the driving of the first driving end 511, that is, the storage part is changed from an original state to a lowered state, so as to prevent a user from stepping on a foot or standing on a chair to take and put food. Like this, regard as drive power with this power that resets and drive the storing portion 3 changes the height, the user's of being convenient for access food effect, and cancelled the power consumption of this process in the traditional scheme, energy saving and consumption reduction, cost of maintenance is lower.

As mentioned above, the first direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction, which is any horizontal direction. For example, the first direction may be set to be from back to front in the present embodiment, that is, when the rack assembly moves along the first direction, the rack assembly moves from the deep inside of the accommodating compartment 10 to the front opening of the accommodating compartment 10, as shown in the direction v in the figure; or, for example, in a variant embodiment, when the carriage assembly moves in the first direction, it translates left and right inside the housing compartment 10.

In the following, the present invention is described in detail by taking an example that the storage part 3 is disposed at the bottom of the refrigerator and the first direction is from back to front in the drawings, but it goes without saying that the present embodiment is adaptively adjusted to correspond to a changed embodiment that the storage part 3 is disposed at the top of the refrigerator and the first direction is not from back to front, for example, when the storage part 3 in the present embodiment is changed from an original state to a lifted state and corresponds to a changed embodiment that the storage part 3 is disposed at the top of the refrigerator, the change is correspondingly changed to a change that the storage part 3 is changed from an original state to a lowered state, and the change does not depart from the technical spirit of the present invention.

In the present embodiment in particular, with reference to fig. 1 to 2b, the receiving compartment 10 is a freezing compartment.

The bracket assembly is mounted on the box body 1 through a slide rail and can only relatively slide along the front-back direction, and specifically comprises a drawer door 2 and a bracket.

When the bracket assembly is located at the rest position, the rear surface of the drawer door 2 is tightly attached to the front frame of the box body 1, so that the drawer door 2 closes at least part of the front opening of the accommodating compartment 10; when the bracket assembly is in the operating position, the rear surface of the drawer door 2 faces forward away from the front rim of the cabinet 1, so that the drawer door 2 opens the front opening of the receiving compartment 10.

The bracket is fixed behind the drawer door 2 and synchronously reciprocates back and forth along with the drawer door 2, and comprises a base bracket 21 and an auxiliary bracket 22. The basic bracket 21 is of a long straight rod structure extending along the front-back direction, the front end of the basic bracket is fixed at the back of the drawer door 2, and the basic bracket extends into the bracket accommodating groove 12 of the bottom wall 11 of the box body 1 from the front to the back from the drawer door 2, so that the firmness of the basic bracket 21 can be enhanced by matching with the bottom wall 11 of the box body 1; the auxiliary bracket 22 is fixed above the base bracket 21 and is positioned between the storage part 3 and the base bracket 21 so as to facilitate the matching between the bracket and the height adjusting assembly.

The storage part 3 is provided with a drawer box with an opening at the upper part, is supported on the bracket and can synchronously reciprocate back and forth along with the bracket component when a user pulls or pushes the bracket component.

With reference to fig. 4a and 4b, when the support assembly is in the rest position, the storage part 3 is accommodated in the accommodating compartment 10, so that the food therein is stored at a low temperature; with reference to fig. 5a to 9b, when the rack assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, the storage part 3 gradually comes out of the accommodating compartment 10; referring to fig. 11 to 12b, when the bracket assembly is located at the working position, the storage portion 3 is completely removed from the accommodating compartment 10, the food stored in the storage portion is exposed from the upper opening of the storage portion 3 for the user to take and place the food, and at this time, the storage portion 3 is further changed from the original state to the lifted state relative to the bracket assembly, so that the user can take and place the food more conveniently and comfortably.

Further, the storage part 3 is supported by the support through the strut mechanism, and the storage part 3 changes from the lifted state to the original state depending on the state change of the strut mechanism.

Two ends of the support rod mechanism are respectively movably connected to the storage part 3 and the support, and the support rod mechanism has a retracted state and an expanded state. When the strut mechanism is in the retracted state, two ends of the strut mechanism have a first height difference in the vertical direction; when the strut mechanism is in the unfolding state, a second height difference is formed between two ends of the strut mechanism in the vertical direction, and the second height difference is larger than the first height difference.

Correspondingly, when the bracket assembly is located at the standing position, the strut mechanism is in the retracted state, so that the storage part 3 is in an original state relatively close to the bracket; and when the bracket component is positioned at the working position, the supporting rod mechanism is in the unfolding state, so that the storage part 3 is in a lifting state relatively far away from the bracket. That is, when the bracket assembly moves from the standing position to the working position, under the action of the reset force, the first driving end 511 drives the strut mechanism to be switched from the retracted state to the deployed state, and then the strut mechanism jacks up the storage part 3, so that the storage part 3 is changed from the original state to the lifted state.

In this embodiment, the rod mechanism specifically includes a first rod 41 and a second rod 42, the first rod 41 and the second rod 42 are arranged in a cross shape, and the middle portions of the two are pivotally connected through a main pin 40.

The first end (lower end in this embodiment) of the first lever 41 is pivotally connected to the auxiliary bracket 22, and the second end (upper end in this embodiment) of the first lever 41 is connected to the storage part 3 through a first pin 413, and specifically, the first pin 413 is pivotally and slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 322 of the storage part 3 in the front-rear direction.

A first end (lower end in this embodiment) of the second rod 42 is supported by the auxiliary bracket 22 so as to slide relative thereto, and a second end (upper end in this embodiment) of the second rod 42 is connected to the storing part 3 by a second pin 423, and specifically, the second pin 423 is rotatably and slidably provided in a second sliding groove 321 of the storing part 3 in the front-rear direction.

In this way, by driving either one of the first and

second struts

41 and 42, the strut mechanism can be switched between the retracted state and the deployed state. When the strut mechanism is changed from the retracted state to the deployed state, the first end of the first strut 41 rotates relative to the auxiliary bracket 22, the first end of the second strut 42 slides relative to the auxiliary bracket 22, and simultaneously, the second end of the first strut 41 and the second end of the second strut 42 both slide and rotate relative to the storage portion 3 and approach each other; conversely, when the strut mechanism is changed from the retracted state to the deployed state, the first end of the first strut 41 rotates relative to the auxiliary bracket 22, the first end of the second strut 42 slides relative to the auxiliary bracket 22, and at the same time, the second end of the first strut 41 and the second end of the second strut 42 both slide and rotate relative to the storage portion 3 and move away from each other.

It should be noted that this embodiment only illustrates a preferred embodiment of the strut mechanism, and the specific structure of the strut mechanism may also be implemented in other modified embodiments, for example, the number and shape of the struts included in the strut mechanism, the connection manner between each strut and the bracket assembly or the storage portion 3, and the like may be implemented in a variable manner within a feasible range, in order to realize the basic principle of driving the storage portion 3 to ascend or descend.

Further, in this embodiment, when the bracket assembly moves to the working position, the first driving end 511 drives the first end of the second supporting rod 42, and then the supporting rod mechanism changes from the retracted state to the deployed state under the driving of the second supporting rod 42. In an alternative embodiment, the first driving end 511 can drive the second end of the second strut 42, so that the strut mechanism is driven by the second strut 42 to change from the retracted state to the deployed state.

Further, the restoring force may be an elastic deformation restoring force or a magnetic force.

Preferably, the driving mechanism includes an elastic member 51, and a first end of the elastic member 51 is provided as the first driving end 511 and a second end of the elastic member 51 is provided as the second driving end 512. When the bracket assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, the first driving end 511 and the second driving end 512 can move relatively, and the elastic element 51 gradually accumulates elastic deformation restoring force due to deformation, and the elastic deformation restoring force is used as the reset force; when the bracket component moves to the working position, under the action of the elastic deformation restoring force, the elastic piece 51 at least partially restores to deform so as to drive the supporting rod mechanism, and then the storage part 3 is changed from an original state to a lifting state.

In this embodiment, the elastic member 51 is provided as a tension spring, when the carriage assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, the first driving end 511 and the second driving end 512 can be separated from each other, and the elastic member 51 gradually accumulates a tensile elastic deformation restoring force due to tensile deformation. In a variant embodiment, the elastic element 51 is also changed into a compression spring, that is, when the carriage assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, the first driving end 511 and the second driving end 512 can approach each other relatively, and the elastic element 51 gradually accumulates a restoring force of a compression type elastic deformation due to the compression deformation; alternatively, the elastic member 51 may be changed to a torsion spring or other elastic structure.

In addition, in other alternative embodiments, the elastic member 51 may be eliminated, and the first driving end and the second driving end are respectively provided as magnetic members, and when the bracket assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, the first driving end and the second driving end may relatively move to change the magnitude of the magnetic force therebetween (for example, as an alternative to a tension spring, a magnetic attractive force that increases with a relatively distance, or as an alternative to a compression spring, a magnetic repulsive force that increases with a relatively distance), which is the reset force; when the support assembly moves to the working position, the first driving end drives the support rod mechanism under the magnetic force, and therefore the storage part 3 is changed from an original state to a lifting state.

Further, the first and second driving ends 511 and 512 are movable in a forward and rearward direction relative to each other when the carriage assembly is moved from the rest position to the working position.

The second driving end 512 is fixedly installed on the bracket component or the storage part 3, and the second driving end 512 is specifically fixed on the auxiliary bracket 22; the driving mechanism further includes a driving portion 52 fixedly provided to the first driving end 511 and a stopper 53 provided to the case 1.

When the carriage assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, the second driving end 512 moves forward along with the carriage assembly synchronously, the stop member 53 is located on the forward movement path of the driving portion 52, the driving portion 52 can abut against the rear side of the stop member 53, so that the forward movement of the driving portion 52 is stopped by the stop member 53, and the forward movement of the corresponding first driving portion 52 is also stopped, so that the first driving end 511 and the second driving end 512 are relatively far away, and the elastic member 51 deforms elastically.

Of course, the variant embodiments may be modified to: the second driving end is movably connected to the support assembly or the storage portion 3, the first driving end is connected to the support rod mechanism, the driving portion is arranged at the second driving end, further, when the support assembly moves from the standing position to the working position, the first driving end moves forwards along with the support assembly synchronously, the stopping member stops the driving portion through stopping, so that the second driving end moves forwards, and therefore the first driving end and the second driving end move relatively. That is, in summary, with the present embodiment and the modified embodiment, the driving portion may be disposed at one of the first driving end and the second driving end, so that when the bracket assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, the stop member stops the driving portion, and the other of the first driving end and the second driving end can move along the first direction.

Further, the rack assembly or the storage portion 3 is provided with a guiding portion 220 matching with the driving portion 52 for guiding the movement of the driving portion 52 relative to the rack assembly or the storage portion 3, and the guiding portion 220 is disposed on the auxiliary rack 22 in the embodiment adapted to the position of the driving portion 52, but is not limited thereto, for example, when the elastic member 51 and the driving portion 52 are disposed on the storage portion 3, the guiding portion 220 is adapted to the storage portion 3.

The guide part 220 has a first guide section 220a (see fig. 5a designation) and a second guide section 220b (see fig. 6a designation) connecting the first guide section 220 a. Wherein: the first guide section 220a extends from front to rear along one end thereof until it is connected to the second guide section 220 b; the second guide section 220b extends obliquely or curvilinearly from the first guide section 220a in a direction at an acute angle to the horizontal rearward, for example, in the present embodiment, in an arc-shaped curve, and the extending direction thereof has a component upward away from the stopper 53.

The driving portion 52 is provided in the guide portion 220 to slide relatively. When the carriage assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, referring to fig. 5a, the stop member 53 stops the forward movement of the driving portion 52, and the guiding portion 220 moves forward relative to the driving portion 52 (i.e. the driving portion 52 slides along the guiding portion 220), and the driving portion 52 is first engaged with the first guiding segment 220a and slides along the first guiding segment 220a toward the second guiding segment 220b, referring to fig. 6a, and then the driving portion 52 is engaged with the second guiding segment 220b and slides along the second guiding segment 220b, referring to fig. 7, and then the driving portion 52 gradually departs from and disengages from the stop member 53 at the second guiding segment 220b, and then the driving portion 52 can move forward with the carriage assembly and pass over the stop member 53.

Preferably, the guide portion 220 is a guide groove formed on the auxiliary bracket 22, and the driving portion 52 is a cylinder inserted into the guide portion 220, and one end of the cylinder horizontally protrudes out of the guide portion 220 to be matched with the position of the stopper 53. Of course, the form of the guide portion 220 and the form of the driving portion 52 are not limited to these.

Further, the height adjusting assembly further comprises a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism is disposed at the extending end of the second guiding section 220b far away from the first guiding section 220a, referring to fig. 9b, in the present embodiment, the locking mechanism comprises a locking surface 220c formed at the extending end of the second guiding section 220 b; when the carriage assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, specifically, when the driving portion 52 gradually departs from the second guide section 220b and disengages from the stopper 53, the driving portion 52 may be engaged with and locked to the locking surface 220c, so that the elastic deformation of the elastic member 51 is maintained, and the elastic deformation restoring force is maintained.

In this embodiment, the elastic element 51 is disposed in the first guiding segment 220a, and the second driving end 512 is fixed to an end (in this embodiment, a front end) of the first guiding segment 220a far from the second guiding segment 220 b.

The locking surface 220c is substantially perpendicular to the front-back direction and substantially perpendicular to the direction of the elastic deformation restoring force, and when the driving portion 52 is fitted to the locking surface 220c, the driving portion 52 tightly abuts against the locking surface 220c and is locked under the action of the elastic deformation restoring force.

Further, the height adjusting assembly further comprises a releasing mechanism, when the support assembly moves to the working position, the releasing mechanism can trigger the driving portion 52 to disengage from the locking mechanism, so that the first driving end 511 performs reset motion relative to the second driving end 512 under the action of the elastic deformation restoring force, the first driving end 511 drives the support rod mechanism to change from the retracted state to the deployed state, and the support rod mechanism drives the storage portion 3 to change from the original state to the lifted state.

Preferably, referring to fig. 2b and 2c, the release mechanism comprises a release 62 and a microswitch; when the bracket assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, the release element 62 activates the micro switch, and the micro switch control drive 52 disengages the locking mechanism.

In this embodiment, the microswitch includes a inching pin 61 and a third reset member 63.

Wherein the micro-motion pin 61 is a T-shaped pin movably disposed on the bracket assembly or the storage part 3, specifically, the micro-motion pin 61 is movably disposed on the auxiliary bracket 22 along the front-back direction, and has an excitation arm 611 protruding out of the auxiliary bracket 22 all the time in the left-right direction; when the bracket assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, referring to fig. 9b and 10, the release element 62 actuates the actuating arm 611 of the inching pin 61 from the forward direction to the backward direction to drive the unlocking end 610 of the inching pin 61 to extend backward through the locking surface 220c into the guide portion 220, in the process, the unlocking end 610 pushes the driving portion 52 to disengage from the locking surface 220c, so that the driving portion 52 is unlocked, and then under the elastic deformation restoring force, the driving portion 52 moves from the backward direction to the forward direction along the guide portion 220 and drives the strut mechanism to change from the retracted state to the deployed state.

When the unlocking end 610 of the inching pin 61 extends backwards through the locking surface 220c into the guide 220, the third resetting piece 63 always urges the inching pin 61 to maintain the resetting tendency, i.e., the inching pin 61 has a tendency to move forward until the unlocking end 610 exits the guide 220. The third returning member 63 is preferably a spring or leaf spring connected between the inching pin 61 and the auxiliary support 22, in this embodiment a compression spring sleeved at the unlocking end 610.

Further, the release member 62 is mounted to the case 1 to be relatively slidable in the front-rear direction, and is reciprocatingly movable between an initial position to a maximum stroke position.

Specifically, the bottom wall 11 of the case 1 is provided with a stroke limiting portion 13. The stroke limiting portion 13 is preferably provided as a groove extending in the front-rear direction; the release 62 includes a Z-shaped lever body whose lower end 621 is fitted into the stroke limiter 13 and can slide back and forth along the stroke limiter 13 with respect to the case 1. When the lower end 621 moves from back to front to abut against the front end surface of the stroke limiting portion 13, the release member 62 is located at the maximum stroke position, and the release member 62 cannot move forward any more non-destructively.

The release piece 62 is arranged side by side with the bracket from left to right; referring to FIG. 8b, the release member 62 further comprises a second offset portion 623, the second offset portion 623 protruding out of the Z-shaped lever body and extending toward the bracket; the storage portion 3 or the bracket assembly is provided with a first displacement portion 24 matching with the second displacement portion 623, in this embodiment, the first displacement portion 24 is protruded on the base bracket 21 and extends toward the releasing member 62, and the first displacement portion 24 is provided with a displacement inclined surface 241.

When the bracket assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, the first offset portion 24 may abut against the second offset portion 623 to push the releasing element 62 to move forward from the initial position, after the releasing element 62 moves to the maximum stroke position, the second offset portion 623 slides along the offset inclined plane 241 to make the releasing element 62 and the bracket assembly generate relative displacement, the releasing element 62 triggers the activating arm 611 of the inching pin 61, and then the driving portion 52 is released to make the driving portion 52 drive the storage portion 3 to change into a lifted state through the supporting rod mechanism. Of course, in alternative embodiments, the offset slope 241 may be changed to be provided at the second offset portion 623 or at both the first offset portion 24 and the second offset portion 623.

Preferably, the release mechanism further comprises a second reset element connected between the release element 62 and the casing 1, said second reset element always having a tendency to return the release element 62 to said initial position when the release element 62 is moved forward out of said initial position, so that said second reset element drives the release element 62 to reset from said maximum stroke position to said initial position when said carriage assembly moves from said working position to said rest position.

Further, the second rod 42 has an actuating member 424, and the actuating member 424 is movably connected to the first end of the second rod 42. Wherein, when the carriage assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, referring to fig. 6a and 7, the driving portion 52 pushes the actuator 424 to move and pass over the actuator 424 in the third direction; when the bracket assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, referring to fig. 8a, the driving portion 52 can move in the opposite direction of the third direction relative to the bracket assembly, and abuts against the actuating member 424 to drive the actuating member 424 to move in the opposite direction of the third direction relative to the bracket assembly, so that the supporting rod mechanism drives the storage portion 3 to change into the lifting state. Thus, by arranging the actuating member 424 movably disposed at the first end of the second supporting rod 42, the driving portion 52 can push the actuating member 424 to move relative to the first end of the second supporting rod 42 and pass over the actuating member 424, so as to achieve the matching connection between the driving mechanism and the supporting rod mechanism, and further, when the supporting rod assembly moves to the working position, the driving mechanism can drive the supporting rod mechanism to drive the storage portion 3 to properly change the height by abutting against the actuating member 424, so as to achieve the effect of facilitating food storage and retrieval. In addition, in this embodiment, the driving mechanism is configured to elastically deform and restore to the driving force for lifting the storage part 3, and in other variation embodiments, the driving mechanism may also include a motor.

Referring to fig. 11, the driving portion 52 may abut against the actuating member 424 from the rear to the front to prevent the strut mechanism from returning from the deployed state to the stowed state, so that the storage portion 3 is maintained in the lifted state to prevent the storage portion 3 from returning under the action of gravity.

Preferably, the second strut 42 also has a stop 425 at a first end thereof; when the bracket assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, the driving portion 52 abuts against the actuating element 424 from the back to the front, and the limiting member 425 abuts against the actuating element 424 to prevent the actuating element 424 from moving relative to the first end of the second supporting rod 42.

Specifically, the actuating member 424 may be rotatably fitted into a shaft hole 4240 on a first end of the second strut 42 through a circular shaft, the rotational axis of which is perpendicular to the front-rear direction and substantially parallel to the left-right direction; when the carriage assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, the driving portion 52 pushes the actuation member 424 to rotate in a first direction (e.g., the lower end of the actuation member 424 pivots backward and upward) and to pass over the actuation member 424 from the front to the back; when the bracket assembly moves from the rest position to the working position, the limiting member 425 abuts against the actuating member 424 from front to back to prevent the actuating member 424 from rotating in the opposite direction of the first clock direction, and the driving portion 52 abuts against the actuating member 424 from back to front, so that the supporting rod mechanism drives the storage portion 3 to change into a lifting state and keep in the lifting state.

Further, the height adjustment assembly further comprises a restoring mechanism, when the storage part 3 is in the lifted state, the restoring mechanism can trigger the actuating member 424 and the driving part 52 to be disengaged from each other, so that the storage part 3 is reset under the action of gravity.

The first end of the second strut 42 comprises a coupling cavity, a passage 4261 communicated with the coupling cavity and an opening 4262 communicated with the coupling cavity; the position-limiting member 425 includes a position-limiting end 4251 and a coupling end 4252 fixedly disposed with the position-limiting end 4251, the coupling end 4252 is installed in the coupling cavity and at least partially protrudes out of the opening 4262, and the position-limiting end 4251 protrudes out of the first end of the second supporting rod 42 from the coupling cavity through the passage 4261 to limit the actuating member 424. When the storage portion 3 is in the lifted state, the restoring mechanism may abut against the coupling end 4252 through the opening 4262, so as to drive the limiting member 425 to move relative to the first end of the second supporting rod 42, and the limiting end 4251 retracts into the coupling cavity through the passage 4261, so as to release the limiting of the actuating member 424.

The movement direction of the limiting member 425 relative to the first end of the second rod 42 is perpendicular to the front-back direction and substantially parallel to the left-right direction.

Further, a fourth reset member 94 is disposed between the limiting member 425 and the first end of the second supporting rod 42, and the fourth reset member 94 makes the limiting member 425 always have a tendency that the limiting end 4251 thereof protrudes out of the first end of the second supporting rod 42 through the passage 4261.

When the operable member 72 moves downward, the transmission member rotates around the transmission shaft 730, and the second shaft 733 slides and rotates along the shaft groove 710 to drive the reduction member 71 to move backward; when the operable member 72 is reset upward by the fifth reset member, the transmission member rotates around the transmission shaft 730, and the second shaft 733 slides and rotates along the shaft groove 710 to drive the reset member 71 to move forward.

In addition, the restoring mechanism further includes a fifth restoring member provided between the operable member 72 and the drawer door 2. When the operable element 72 moves downwards under the pressing of a user, the fifth resetting element enables the operable element 72 to have the tendency of moving upwards for resetting, so that when the pressing operation is removed by the user, the operable element 72 can move upwards for resetting, and then the returning element 71 is driven to move forwards for resetting, and the whole restoring mechanism is reset.

Further, the stop member 53 is movably disposed on the box 1, and when the carriage assembly moves from the working position to the rest position, that is, the carriage assembly performs the reset movement, the driving portion 52 pushes the stop member 53 from the front to the back, so that the driving portion 52 can pass over the stop member 53 from the back.
