Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the invention has the following advantages:

the rear end of the tray is clamped in the limit groove through the rear decorative strip, and the limit strip is not required to be additionally arranged at the bottom of the tray, so that the processing technology can be simplified, and the materials can be saved.

In one embodiment, the limit groove is lower than the accommodating groove, the tray is provided with an upper surface for placing articles, and the limit part extends out of the upper surface of the tray along the height direction and is propped against the upper side wall of the limit groove along the height direction of the refrigerating appliance.

The rear decorative strip is provided with a barrier strip extending out of the upper surface, and the limiting parts are respectively connected to two ends of the barrier strip and lower than the barrier strip.

When the limiting part is required to extend out of the upper surface of the tray, the two ends of the rear decorative strip can be cut, so that the limiting part is formed. That is, the barrier rib and the limiting part are integrally connected, and during processing, the rear decorative strip with the barrier rib is formed first, then the two ends of the barrier rib are cut, the height of the barrier rib is reduced, and finally the limiting part is formed. Alternatively, the limit portion may be directly formed by an injection molding process.

After the tray is put into the storage room, when the tray needs to be taken out, the front end of the tray should be lifted up to slightly press down the rear end of the tray, so that the pressure between the limiting part and the corresponding inner wall is released, and then the tray is pulled outwards in a state that the front end is kept lifted up, so that the limiting part is separated from the limiting groove, and the tray is pulled out. At this time, the article on the tray can be prevented from falling due to the stop function of the stop strip at the rear part. That is, when the tray is drawn out of the storage room, the front end of the tray is higher than the rear end, the articles cannot slide out from the front end, and when the articles slide to the rear end, the articles can be blocked by the blocking strip, so that the articles can be prevented from sliding out from the rear end.

The limiting part can also be directly formed through an injection molding process.

Optionally, the limit groove is connected with the containing groove; along the height direction of the refrigeration appliance, the upper side wall of the limit groove is connected with the upper side wall of the containing groove, and the lower side wall of the limit groove is connected with the lower side wall of the containing groove.

Optionally, the upper side wall of the limiting groove comprises a first connecting surface connected with the upper side wall of the accommodating groove, and the lower side wall of the limiting groove comprises a second connecting surface connected with the lower side wall of the accommodating groove.

The first connecting surface and the second connecting surface are inclined surfaces, and the gap width between the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface is not smaller than the height difference between the free end of the limiting part and the surface of the other side of the tray. The limiting groove and the accommodating groove are connected through an inclined plane, and the rear end of the tray can smoothly enter the limiting groove through the inclined plane.

In one embodiment, the limiting part extends along the height direction and is propped against the position of the limiting groove outside the connecting surface.

In another embodiment, the limiting part is inclined towards the front end of the tray and is propped against the corresponding connecting surface; an included angle is formed between the connecting surface for propping against the limiting part and the side wall correspondingly connected with the accommodating groove. When the limiting part is clamped in the limiting groove, the position of the included angle can be used for limiting the free end of the limiting part to move towards the front end of the storage chamber, so that the limiting part is prevented from falling out of the limiting groove.

Optionally, along the height direction, the height of the accommodating groove is not less than the height of the limiting part, so as to ensure that the limiting part smoothly passes through the accommodating groove and enters the limiting groove.

Alternatively, the height of the receiving groove is uniform or the height of the receiving groove is reduced in a direction from the front end to the rear end. Since the tray needs to be slightly tilted at the time of loading or unloading, the width of the receiving groove should be capable of allowing tilting of the tray. In one embodiment, the portion of the receiving slot near the front end is aerofoil-shaped, i.e., diverging in a direction toward the front end, which may allow the tray to have a large angle of inclination.

Detailed Description

In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the invention will be readily understood, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a refrigeration appliance, referring to fig. 1, 2 and referring to fig. 3 and 4, comprising a storage chamber 10 and a tray 20 arranged in the storage chamber 10, wherein an accommodating groove 30 is arranged on the inner wall of the storage chamber 10, the accommodating groove 30 extends along the front-back direction (X direction in the figure) of the refrigeration appliance, and two sides of the tray 20 are supported in the accommodating groove 30. In this embodiment, the length of the accommodating groove 30 occupies only a part of the side wall of the storage chamber 10, and the front end of the side wall of the storage chamber 10 is further provided with a supporting block 11, and when the tray 20 is horizontally placed in the storage chamber, the front end of the tray 20 is supported on the supporting block 11.

The rear end of the receiving groove 30 is provided with a limit groove 40, a height difference is provided between the limit groove 40 and the receiving groove 30 in a height direction (Y direction in the drawing) of the refrigerator, and a projection of the limit groove 40 and the receiving groove 30 in a front-rear direction has an overlapping portion. Specifically, the projection portion in the front-rear direction between the limit groove 40 and the accommodation groove 30 coincides.

As shown in fig. 5, the rear end of the tray 20 is provided with a rear molding 21, and the rear molding 21 is strip-shaped and extends along the width direction of the tray 20. The rear decorative strip 21 has end portions respectively disposed in the limiting grooves 40, and the end portions have limiting portions 21a extending out of one side surface of the tray 20 in the height direction, wherein the limiting portions 21a are used for abutting against the inner walls of the limiting grooves 40.

Therefore, in this embodiment, there is no need to additionally provide a limiting strip at the bottom of the tray, and the limiting portion is integrally formed on the rear molding 21, so that materials can be saved and the process can be simplified.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3-4, the limiting groove 40 is lower than the receiving groove 30 in the height direction of the refrigerator, the tray 20 has an upper surface 20a for placing articles, and the limiting portion 21a protrudes from the upper surface 20a of the tray 20 in the height direction and abuts against an upper side wall 40a of the limiting groove 40 in the height direction of the refrigerator. That is, if the height difference between the upper side wall 40a of the limiting groove 40 and the lower side wall 30b of the receiving groove 30 is defined as d1, and the height difference between the upper end (free end) of the limiting portion 21a and the lower surface of the tray 20 is defined as d2, d1.ltoreq.d2. Thus, when the tray 20 is placed flat, the limiting portion 21a can abut against the upper sidewall 40a of the limiting groove 40.

As shown in fig. 5, the rear molding 21 has a barrier rib 21b extending from the upper surface, and the limiting portions 21a are respectively connected to two ends of the barrier rib 21b and lower than the barrier rib 21b.

In processing, two modes can be adopted, the first mode is: the rear molding 21 having the barrier rib 21b is formed first, wherein the barrier rib 21b penetrates through both ends of the rear molding 21, and then both ends of the rear molding 21 are cut to reduce the heights of both ends, thereby forming the limiting portion 21a. Second kind: the rear molding 21 having the stopper 21a and the barrier rib 21b is directly formed through an injection molding process.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, when the tray 20 is loaded into the limit groove 40 or the tray 20 is pulled out of the limit groove 40, since the limit groove 40 is positioned lower than the receiving groove 30, the front end of the tray 20 needs to be lifted (in the direction indicated by the hollow arrow in fig. 2), and the rear end of the tray 20 is correspondingly slightly pushed down to load or pull the rear end of the tray 20 into or out of the limit groove 40.

Specifically, when the tray 20 is assembled, the rear end of the tray 20 is inserted into the limit groove 40 after being inclined, and then the front end of the tray 20 is put down to be supported on the supporting block 11, at this time, the tray 20 is in a horizontal state (fig. 1 and 3), and the limit part 21a is abutted against the upper side wall 40a of the limit groove 40, so that resistance is formed on the tray 20 to prevent the tray 20 from being separated from the limit groove, and thus the limit effect is realized.

When the tray 20 is pulled out, the front end of the tray 20 is lifted, the mutual compressive stress between the limiting part 21a and the upper side wall 40a of the limiting groove 40 is relieved, and then the tray 20 is pulled out in a state that the front end is kept lifted, so that the limiting part 21a is separated from the limiting groove 40, and the tray 20 is pulled out. At this time, since the rear end of the tray 20 has the stopper function of the stopper bar 21b, the falling of the articles on the tray 20 can be prevented.

It should be noted that a plurality of trays may be provided in the same storage chamber 10, and correspondingly, a plurality of sets of receiving grooves 30 and supporting blocks 11 should be provided, as shown in fig. 2 and 4, then the interval between two trays 20 adjacent in the height direction should be sufficiently large, and the interval between the corresponding two supporting blocks 11 should be sufficiently large, so that the trays 20 can be tilted with a sufficient space for easy loading or unloading.

In another embodiment, the limiting groove 40 is higher than the receiving groove 30, and the tray 20 has a lower surface opposite to a side surface for placing the article; the limiting portion 21a extends out of the lower surface of the tray 20 in the height direction and abuts against the lower side wall 40b of the limiting groove 40 in the height direction of the refrigerator. The limiting portion 21a may be directly formed by an injection molding process. At this time, the tray 20 is installed and removed in the opposite manner to the above-described embodiment, i.e., the front end of the tray 20 needs to be pushed down so that the rear end is slightly lifted up to install or remove the rear end of the tray 20 into or from the limit groove 40.

In this embodiment, with continued reference to fig. 1-4, the limiting slot 40 is connected to the receiving slot 30; along the height direction of the refrigerator, an upper side wall 40a of the limit groove 40 is connected with an upper side wall 30a of the accommodating groove 30, and a lower side wall 40b of the limit groove 40 is connected with a lower side wall 30b of the accommodating groove 30.

Wherein, the upper side wall 40a of the limiting groove 40 includes a first connection surface S1 connected with the upper side wall 30a of the accommodating groove 30, and the lower side wall 40b of the limiting groove 40 includes a second connection surface S2 connected with the lower side wall 30b of the accommodating groove 30.

The first connecting surface S1 and the second connecting surface S2 are inclined surfaces, and the gap width between the first connecting surface S1 and the second connecting surface S2 is not smaller than the height difference between the free end (the end far away from the tray) of the limiting portion 21a and the other surface of the tray 20. The height difference here is the thickness of the entire tray 20 at the position of the stopper 21a. In this way, when the tray 20 obliquely enters or exits the limit groove 40, the gap width between the first connecting surface S1 and the second connecting surface S2 is large enough to allow the rear end of the tray 20 to pass through, so that the rear end of the tray 20 can be smoothly inserted into or extracted from the limit groove 40.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 4, the limiting portion 21a extends in the height direction and abuts against the limiting groove 40 at a position other than the connection surface.

In another embodiment, the limiting portion 21a is inclined towards the front end of the tray 20 and abuts against the corresponding connecting surface, and an included angle is formed between the connecting surface abutting against the limiting portion 21a and the side wall corresponding to the receiving groove 30. Accordingly, the side wall corresponding to the accommodating groove 30 can block the stopper 21a abutting on the connection surface, and prevent the stopper 21a from moving toward the front end of the storage chamber, thereby preventing the stopper from coming out of the stopper groove 40.

It should be noted that, along the height direction, the height of the accommodating groove 30 is not smaller than the height of the limiting portion 21a, so as to ensure that the limiting portion 21a smoothly passes through the accommodating groove 30 and enters the limiting groove 40.

Since it is necessary to tilt tray 20 slightly during loading or unloading, the width of receiving slot 30 should be such as to allow tilting of tray 20. In one embodiment, the portion of the receiving slot 30 near the front end is airfoil-shaped, i.e., diverging in a direction toward the front end, which may allow for a greater angle of inclination of the tray 20. On the basis of satisfying the above condition, the height of the accommodating groove 30 may be set to be uniform, or the height of the accommodating groove 30 may be reduced in the direction from the front end to the rear end.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 1-4, the portion of the receiving groove 30 near the front end is shaped like an airfoil, that is, the receiving groove 30 of the portion is shaped like a diffusion or the side walls of the receiving groove 30 are shaped like an arc, and the distance between the two side walls of the receiving groove 30 at the front end is the largest, so as to ensure that the tray 20 is inclined smoothly.

As shown in fig. 5 in combination with fig. 6, the rear molding 21 has a clamping groove facing the tray 20, referred to as a first clamping groove 21c. The rear end of the tray 20 is engaged with the first engaging groove 21c. In order to reduce friction and impact between the tray 20 and the rear molding 21, the side walls of the first clamping grooves 21c facing the tray 20 are respectively provided with a buffer member, called a first buffer member 21d, and the side walls of the first clamping grooves 21c are contacted with the tray 20 through the first buffer member 21 d.

In addition, as shown in fig. 5 and in conjunction with fig. 7, the front end of the tray 20 is further provided with a front decorative strip 22, and the front decorative strip 22 has a second clamping groove 22a facing the tray 20. Similarly, in order to reduce friction and impact between the tray 20 and the front molding 22, second buffer members 22b are respectively disposed on sidewalls of the second clamping grooves 22a facing the tray 20, and the sidewalls of the second clamping grooves 22a are in contact with the tray 20 through the second buffer members 22 b.

Although the present invention is disclosed above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications may be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and the scope of the invention should be assessed accordingly to that of the appended claims.
