Referring to fig. 1, a typical refrigerator having a center sill is schematically configured, and referring to fig. 1, a conventional french refrigerator employs a drawer-type door body, and a center sill 104 is disposed between adjacent drawer doors 108, so that after a drawer is pushed into a refrigeration compartment 102 in a refrigerator body 101, the center sill 104 cooperates with the drawer doors 108 to seal the refrigeration compartment 102 inside the refrigerator body 101. However, since the center sill 104 forms a barrier on the side of the opening 103 of the refrigerating compartment 102, and the upper drawer 105 and the lower drawer 106 need to avoid the center sill 104 when the upper drawer 105 and the lower drawer 106 are pushed into or pulled out of the refrigerating compartment 102 from the opening 103, the bottom of the upper drawer 105 should not be lower than the center sill 104, and the top of the lower drawer 106 should not be higher than the center sill 104, so that a vacant region 109 (refer to the region indicated by the dotted line frame in fig. 1) is formed in the region between the rear of the center sill 104 and the adjacent drawer, resulting in wasted space in the refrigerating compartment 102.

The embodiment of the invention provides a refrigerator, wherein a storage container for storing articles is arranged in a vacant area behind a center sill, a rotating mechanism is arranged for bearing the storage container, and the storage container is lifted by the rotating mechanism to enter and exit the vacant area, so that the center sill is avoided, the space utilization rate of a refrigerating chamber in the refrigerator can be improved, and a user can conveniently store and take the storage container.

Fig. 2 is a schematic structural view of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 2, the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet 101, a center sill 104, a storage container 201, a rotation mechanism 301, and a plurality of drawers stacked in an up-down direction. The cabinet 101 defines a refrigerated compartment 102 having an opening 103 on one side, the refrigerated compartment 102 being usable to freeze or refrigerate items therein.

The center sill 104 is connected to the cabinet 101 at an opening 103 of the refrigerating compartment 102, drawers are respectively provided at both sides of the center sill 104 in the vertical direction, the drawer positioned above is an upper drawer 105, and the drawer positioned below is a lower drawer 106, and the two drawers can move relative to the cabinet 101 to enter and exit the refrigerating compartment 102.

The lower drawer 106 comprises a drawer body 107 and a drawer door 108, the drawer body 107 can enter and exit the refrigeration compartment 102 through an opening 103 of the refrigeration compartment 102, and after the drawer is pushed into the refrigeration compartment 102, the drawer door 108 abuts against one side, away from the refrigeration compartment 102, of the middle beam 104 to close the refrigeration compartment 102, so that the refrigeration effect is guaranteed.

The rear side of the center sill 104, which faces the interior of the refrigerating compartment 102, and the empty space 109 between two adjacent drawers (the upper drawer 105 and the lower drawer 106) are formed. For ease of understanding, the vacant areas 109 are shown in fig. 2 as dashed boxes. The storage container 201 is disposed in the empty region 109, and has a first accommodating space 209 for accommodating articles. Since the vacant area 109 is also located in the refrigerating compartment 102, the articles stored in the storage container 201 can be refrigerated and stored.

The rotating mechanism 301 includes at least two rotating members 302, and the at least two rotating members 302 are respectively connected to two opposite side walls of the box 101 for carrying the storage container 201. Each rotating piece 302 can rotate synchronously relative to the box body 101, and can drive the storage container 201 to move relative to the middle beam 104, so as to enter and exit the vacant area 109 behind the middle beam 104, thereby being convenient for a user to store and take articles through the storage container 201, and the storage container 201 effectively utilizes the vacant area 109 behind the middle beam 104, so that the space utilization rate of the refrigerator refrigerating chamber 102 is improved.

It can be understood that fig. 2 shows a refrigerator with two drawers according to an embodiment of the present invention, and in a specific implementation, the refrigerator may include a greater number of drawers.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a rotating mechanism 301 in a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments of the refrigerator, a rotating member 302 includes a connecting portion 303, a carrying portion 304, and an abutting portion 305 that are distributed in a triangular shape, so that the connecting portion 303, the carrying portion 304, and the abutting portion 305 have a set distance therebetween, wherein the connecting portion 303 is rotatably connected to the refrigerator body 101, so that driving the abutting portion 305 to rotate around the connecting portion 303 can rotate the rotating member 302 relative to the refrigerator body 101.

The bearing portion 304 is used for bearing the storage container 201, so that the rotating member 302 can drive the storage container 201 to move in the vertical direction relative to the center sill 104 through the bearing portion 304, and thus can enter and exit the vacant area 109 behind the center sill 104. The synchronous rotation of the rotating members 302 enables the bearing portions 304 to have the same motion track, thereby ensuring that the storage container 201 borne by the bearing portions 304 is balanced and prevented from toppling over. In specific operation, the moving member 401 (described in detail later) can push the rotating member 302 to rotate synchronously, so that the moving tracks of the bearing portion 304 are consistent.

Specifically, the connecting portion 303 is rotatably connected to the box 101 at a set position behind the center sill 104, so that the connecting portion 303 is located in the vacant region 109, and when the rotating member 302 is rotated to move the storage container 201 downward below the center sill 104, the abutting portion 305 is located at the front end of the rotating member 302, and faces the opening 103 of the cooling compartment 102, and is easily driven by an external force. The bearing part 304 is located at the rear end of the rotating part 302, so as to be away from the opening 103, and a set distance is provided between the bearing part 304 and the abutting part 305 and the connecting part 303, so that the bearing part 304 can rotate around the connecting part 303 along with the integral rotation of the rotating part 302, so as to avoid the middle beam 104 from entering or exiting the vacant area 109 behind the middle beam 104, and thus the storage container 201 borne on the bearing part 304 can be driven to move up and down relative to the middle beam 104 to enter or exit the vacant area 109, so that the storage container 201 is lifted and lowered, and a user can conveniently access articles in the storage container 201.

Fig. 4 to 6 are schematic structural views of several different viewing angles of the rotating mechanism 301, fig. 7 is a schematic structural view of the storage container 201 in the refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 4 to 7, in the above embodiment, the storage container 201 may be provided with the first support portion 202, and the carrying portion 304 may include a connecting rod supported on a lower side of the first support portion 202, thereby being capable of carrying the storage container 201. The first support portion 202 may be a flange structure folded outward from the outer walls of the left and right sides of the storage container 201. In addition, the first support part 202 can move relative to the connecting rod, so when the storage container 201 exits the vacant region 109 and is located below the middle beam 104 in the vertical direction, the storage container 201 can be moved toward the opening 103 of the refrigerating compartment 102 by an external force, and the storage container 201 can be moved to a set position outside the cabinet 101 or be pulled away from the rotating mechanism 301, which is convenient for a user to pick and place articles in the first accommodating space 209 of the storage container 201 or to clean and maintain the storage container 201. It can be understood that, in order to reduce the friction between the connecting rod and the first supporting portion 202, the connecting rod may be provided with a supporting wheel 310, the supporting wheel 310 may be rotatably disposed on the connecting rod, and a wheel surface of the supporting wheel 310 is supported on the lower side of the first supporting portion 202, so that when the storage container 201 moves relative to the connecting rod, the supporting wheel 310 can roll on the lower side surface of the first supporting portion 202, thereby reducing the friction, improving the stability of the movement of the storage container 201, and effectively reducing the sound generated during the movement.

Fig. 8 is a side view of the storage container 201 shown in fig. 7, fig. 9 is a partially enlarged schematic view of a portion a of the storage container 201 shown in fig. 8, and referring to fig. 7 to 9, in some embodiments, a fixing seat 205 is disposed on a lower side surface of the first supporting portion 202 of the storage container 201, and the fixing seat 205 is used for positioning a relative position between the bearing portion 304 and the first supporting portion 202, so that the storage container 201 is convenient to stay at the position of the fixing seat 205, and the storage container is prevented from shaking during staying.

Specifically, referring to fig. 9, the fixing base 205 may be a protrusion protruding from the lower surface of the first supporting portion 202, and the downward side of the protrusion has a concave arc surface 206, and the concave surface of the concave arc surface 206 faces downward, so that when the storage container 201 moves relative to the connecting rod to the position where the connecting rod or the supporting wheel 310 sleeved on the connecting rod is located in the concave arc surface 206 of the fixing base 205 and stays, the connecting rod or the supporting wheel 310 sleeved on the connecting rod can be kept located in the range surrounded by the concave arc surface 206 by the guiding action of the concave arc surface 206, thereby preventing the connecting rod or the supporting wheel 310 sleeved on the connecting rod from shaking in the moving direction. Or, the fixing seat 205 may also be a recessed groove structure recessed from the lower surface of the first supporting portion 202, the opening 103 of the recessed groove faces downward and the groove wall of the recessed groove forms a curved surface with a concave surface facing downward, therefore, when the storage container 201 moves relative to the connecting rod to the position where the connecting rod is located in the recessed groove and stays, the curved surface formed by the groove wall of the recessed groove has a guiding effect on the connecting rod or the supporting wheel 310 sleeved on the connecting rod, thereby avoiding the rocking in the moving direction, effectively preventing the accidental dropping, and being able to continue moving by properly applying an external force.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the rotating mechanism 301 may further include a driving member and a driven member 313, the driven member 313 being for carrying the storage container 201 at the rear of the rotating member 302, the driving member being connected to the rotating member 302 and the driven member 313 for transmitting motion to rotate the rotating member 302 and the driven member 313 in synchronization. The driven member 313 is located on a side of the rotating member 302 facing away from the opening 103 of the cooling compartment 102, that is, behind the rotating member 302, the driven member 313 includes a connecting end 314 and a carrying end 315, the connecting end 314 is rotatably connected to a side wall of the box 101, and the carrying end 315 is used for carrying the storage container 201. Specifically, the transmission member may adopt a transmission manner of a timing belt, for example, referring to fig. 3 to 6, the transmission member may include a timing belt 307 and two timing wheels 306, the two timing wheels 306 are respectively connected to the connecting portion 303 of the rotating member 302 and the connecting end 314 of the driven member 313, and the timing belt 307 is engaged with the timing wheels 306, thereby achieving synchronous rotation of the driven member 313 and the rotating member 302. Fig. 3 to 6 show a rotating mechanism 301 having a rotating member 302 and a driven member 313, wherein the driven member 313 and the rotating member 302 are connected to the inside of the box 101 at a position behind the center sill 104 with a predetermined distance therebetween, and the rotating member 302 and the driven member 313 are respectively connected to a transmission member, so that the rotating member 302 is driven to rotate, and the driven member 313 is driven to rotate synchronously by the transmission member, thereby smoothly driving the storage container 201 to perform an elevating motion. For example, referring to fig. 2, 4 and 5, when the carrying portion 304 is located below the connecting portion 303 (see fig. 4), the storage container 201 carried on the carrying portion 304 is located below the vacant region 109 behind the center sill 104, the holding portion 305 of the front rotating member 302 is pushed backward to rotate the rotating member 302 clockwise around the connecting portion 303 as an axis, so that the carrying portion 304 rotates clockwise around the connecting portion 303 to above the connecting portion 303 (see fig. 5), and simultaneously, as the rotating member 302 rotates, the synchronizing wheel 306 on the rotating member 302 drives the synchronizing belt 307 to drive the synchronizing wheel 306 on the driven member 313 to rotate, so that the driven member 313 rotates synchronously, thereby transmitting the motion synchronization to the driven member 313 to realize the synchronous motion of the carrying end 315. At this time, the storage container 201 carried on the carrying portion 304 and the carrying end 315 moves upward into the vacant region 109 behind the center sill 104, the holding portion 305 continuously holding the rotating member 302 can keep the rotating member 302 at the set position, and at this time, the carrying portion 304 is kept above the connecting portion 303, that is, the storage container 201 can be kept in the vacant region 109 behind the center sill 104. After the holding of the holding portion 305 is removed, the rotating member 302 can rotate counterclockwise around the connecting portion 303 under the action of gravity, so that the bearing portion 304 is located below the connecting portion 303, thereby driving the storage container 201 to move in the up-down direction.

Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the transmission member may also adopt a link mechanism transmission manner, referring to fig. 10 to 14, the transmission member may include a first link 308 and a second link 309, the driven member 313 further includes a supporting end 316, the connecting end 314, the carrying end 315 and the supporting end 316 are disposed in a triangular distribution, so that a set distance is formed between the two, the abutting portion 305 of the rotating member 302 and the abutting end 316 of the driven member 313 are respectively rotatably connected to two ends of the first connecting rod 308, the bearing portion 304 of the rotating member 302 and the bearing end 315 of the driven member 313 are respectively rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 309, thereby forming a four-bar linkage, the abutting part 305 of the driving rotating part 302 rotates around the connecting part 303, the driven part 313 can be driven by the two connecting bars to rotate synchronously, so that the bearing portion 304 of the rotating member 302 and the bearing end 315 of the follower 313 can move synchronously to bear the storage container 201.

Fig. 10 to 12 show a structure of the rotating mechanism 301 having links, in which two ends of the first link 308 are respectively connected to the abutting portion 305 of the rotating member 302 and the abutting end 316 of the driven member 313, and two ends of the second link 309 are respectively connected to the bearing portion 304 of the rotating member 302 and the bearing end 315 of the driven member 313. Referring to fig. 2, 11, and 12, when the receiving portion 304 is located below the connecting portion 303 (see fig. 11), the receiving end 315 is also located below the connecting end 314, the storage container 201 received by the receiving portion 304 and the receiving end 315 is located below the vacant region 109 behind the center sill 104, and the receiving portion 305 of the rotating member 302 is pushed rearward to rotate the rotating member 302 clockwise around the connecting portion 303 as an axis, so that the receiving portion 304 rotates clockwise around the connecting portion 303 to above the connecting portion 303 (see fig. 12). At the same time, as the rotating member 302 on the front side rotates, the first link 308 is pushed backward, the second link 309 is pulled forward, and the motion is synchronously transmitted to the follower 313 to realize the synchronous motion of the carrying end 315, and at this time, the storage container 201 carried on the carrying part 304 and the carrying end 315 moves upward into the vacant area 109 behind the center sill 104. The holding portion 305 that continuously holds the rotating member 302 can keep the bearing portion 304 above the connecting portion 303, that is, the storage container 201 can be kept in the vacant region 109 behind the center sill 104. After the holding of the holding portion 305 is removed, the rotating member 302 can rotate counterclockwise around the connecting portion 303 under the action of gravity, so that the bearing portion 304 is located below the connecting portion 303, thereby driving the storage container 201 to move in the up-down direction. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the supporting portion 304 and the supporting end 315 may be provided with a supporting wheel 310 for supporting the storage container 201, and when the storage container 201 moves, friction between the storage container 201 and the supporting portion 304 and the supporting end 315 can be reduced by rolling of the supporting wheel 310, so as to improve the stability of the movement of the storage container 201, and effectively reduce the sound generated during the movement.

It can be understood that the storage container 201 can also be carried by a link, for example, fig. 13 and 14 show another structure of the rotating mechanism 301 with a link, referring to fig. 13 and 14, and referring to fig. 2 at the same time, two ends of the first link 308 are respectively connected to the abutting portion 305 of the rotating member 302 and the abutting portion 316 of the driven member 313, two ends of the second link 309 are respectively connected to the carrying portion 304 of the rotating member 302 and the carrying end 315 of the driven member 313, and the upward side of the second link 309 has a carrying surface 311 capable of carrying the storage container 201. When the bearing part 304 is located below the connecting part 303 (see fig. 13), the bearing end 315 is also located below the connecting end 314, the second link 309 is located at a low position, the storage container 201 borne on the second link 309 is located below the vacant region 109 behind the middle beam 104, the abutting part 305 of the rotating part 302 is pushed backward to rotate the rotating part 302 clockwise around the connecting part 303 as an axis, and the bearing part 304 rotates clockwise around the connecting part 303 to above the connecting part 303. At the same time, the first link 308 is pushed backward and the second link 309 is pulled forward with the rotation of the front rotating member 302, so that the motion is synchronously transmitted to the follower 313 to realize the synchronous motion of the carrying end 315, at this time, the second link 309 is lifted to the high position (refer to fig. 14), and the storage container 201 carried on the second link 309 moves upward into the vacant area 109 behind the center sill 104. The holding portion 305 that holds the rotating member 302 can keep the bearing portion 304 above the connecting portion 303, that is, the storage container 201 held by the second link 309 can keep the vacant region 109 behind the center sill 104. After the holding of the holding portion 305 is removed, the rotating member 302 can rotate counterclockwise around the connecting portion 303 under the action of gravity, so that the bearing portion 304 is located below the connecting portion 303, and the second connecting rod 309 returns to the low position (refer to fig. 13), thereby driving the storage container 201 to move in the up-and-down direction.

It is understood that the above embodiments show a structure in which a rotating member 302 and a driven member 313 are engaged to rotate, in practical implementation, the number of the rotating member 302 and the driven member 313 may be increased, and if the number of the rotating member 302 or the driven member needs to be increased, the configuration of the transmission member according to the above embodiments may also be performed, so as to achieve the transmission connection between the rotating member 302 and the driven member 313, and increasing the number of the rotating member 302 and the driven member 313 can further increase the smoothness of the storage container 201 during the movement process.

It is understood that both ends of the storage container 201 can be lifted and lowered by a rotating member 302, for example, fig. 15 is a schematic diagram of a first state of the rotating mechanism 301 and the storage container 201 in the refrigerator according to another embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 16 is a schematic diagram of a second state of the rotating mechanism 301 and the storage container 201 shown in fig. 15, and for convenience of viewing and explanation, a contour line of the current view, which is hidden by the rotating member 302, is shown by a dotted line. Referring to fig. 15 and 16, the first supporting portion 202 of the storage container 201 includes a first section 203 and a second section 204 extending in a front-back direction, the first section 203 and the second section 204 respectively have a set inclination angle, and an included angle formed by the first section 203 and the second section 204 is an obtuse angle, so that a fixing seat 205 for positioning the bearing portion 304 of the rotating member 302 is formed at a joint of the first section 203 and the second section 204 and is located at a position above a middle portion of the storage container 201, preferably, the fixing seat 205 is located at a top portion of the middle portion of the storage container 201, and therefore, the bearing portion 304 is borne on the fixing seat 205, which can ensure that a center of gravity of the storage container 201 is located below the bearing portion 304, and prevent the storage container 201 from falling.

Referring to fig. 15 and 16, and also referring to fig. 2, when the bearing portion 304 is at a low position below the connecting portion 303 (see fig. 15), the abutting portion 305 faces the opening 103 side of the cooling compartment 102, the bearing portion 304 is located behind the abutting portion 305, the storage container 201 borne by the bearing portion 304 is located below the vacant region 109 behind the center sill 104, the abutting portion 305 of the rotating member 302 is pushed backward to rotate the rotating member 302 around the connecting portion 303, and the bearing portion 304 rotates around the connecting portion 303 to above the connecting portion 303, so as to drive the storage container 201 to move upward. When the carrying portion 304 is rotated to the high position (see fig. 16), the storage container 201 carried on the carrying portion 304 moves upward into the vacant region 109 behind the center sill 104. The continuous abutting portion 305 of the rotating member 302 can keep the bearing portion 304 above the connecting portion 303, that is, the storage container 201 borne by the bearing portion 304 can be kept in the vacant region 109 behind the center sill 104. After the holding of the holding portion 305 is removed, the rotating member 302 can rotate around the connecting portion 303 under the action of gravity, so that the bearing portion 304 is located below the connecting portion 303, and the bearing portion 304 returns to the lower position (see fig. 13), thereby moving the storage container 201 in the up-and-down direction. The bearing part 304 may be provided with a support wheel 310 for supporting the storage container 201, and the friction between the storage container 201 and the bearing part 304 can be reduced by the rolling of the support wheel 310, so as to improve the stability of the movement of the storage container 201 and effectively reduce the sound generated during the movement.

Fig. 17 is a schematic structural view of a drawer under the center sill 104 and a moving member 401 in the refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 2 and 17, based on the above embodiment, the refrigerator may further include a moving member 401, the moving member 401 is disposed between the center sill 104 and the lower drawer 106 under the center sill 104, and the moving member 401 can slide relative to the refrigerator body 101, so that the abutting portion 305 of the rotating member 302 can be pushed by the movement of the moving member 401 to rotate the rotating member 302. Specifically, a slide rail 110 (see fig. 2) extending in the front-rear direction may be provided on the inner wall of the casing 101, and the moving member 401 is slidably connected to the slide rail 110, is movable in the front-rear direction along the slide rail 110, and can enter and exit the refrigerating compartment 102 through the opening 103. In addition, a second roller 403 is provided on the side of the side wall of the moving member 401 facing the case 101, and can roll along the slide rail 110, thereby reducing friction.

The moving member 401 pushes the rotating members 302 on both sides of the storage container 201 to rotate synchronously, so that the movement tracks of the bearing portions 304 bearing the storage container 201 are consistent, the storage container 201 is kept balanced, and the storage container is prevented from toppling over. Specifically, the moving member 401 is provided with a second supporting portion 402, and the position of the second supporting portion 402 corresponds to the abutting portion 305 of the rotating member 302, so that, along with the movement of the moving member 401, the second supporting portion 402 can abut against the abutting portion 305 of the rotating member 302 and drive the abutting portion 305 to rotate around the connecting portion 303. The second supporting portion 402 of the moving member 401 located in the cooling compartment 102 can be supported below the abutting portion 305 to maintain the rotating member 302 at the set position. For example, when the rotating member 302 rotates until the bearing portion 304 is located at the high position, the second supporting portion 402 is supported below the abutting portion 305, and the storage container 201 is kept in the vacant region 109 behind the middle beam 104.

It can be understood that the rotating parts 302 on both sides of the storage container 201 can be symmetrically disposed, and the structures of the moving part 401 for pushing the rotating parts 302 on both sides of the storage container 201 are also symmetrical to each other, for example, two symmetrical second supporting parts 402 are disposed on the moving part 401 toward the side wall of the box 101, so that the two rotating parts 302 can be pushed to synchronously rotate by the movement of the moving part 401, the storage container 201 is kept in balance, and the symmetrical structure is adopted to facilitate the processing and installation.

It will be appreciated that the rotatable members 302 on either side of the reservoir 201 may also be arranged asymmetrically, for example: the distances between the abutting portions 305 and the connecting portion 303 are different, so that the heights of the abutting portions 305 of the two rotating members 302 in the vertical direction are different; alternatively, the positions at which the connecting portions 303 are connected to the side walls of the casing 101 do not coincide in the front-rear direction, so that the two rotating members 302 are not aligned in the front-rear direction; alternatively, the positions at which the connecting portions 303 are connected to the side walls of the casing 101 are not coincident in the up-down direction, so that the two rotating members 302 are not aligned in the up-down direction; or other asymmetric structures are adopted; the structure of the moving member 401 for pushing the rotating members 302 on the two sides of the storage container 201 is also asymmetrically arranged, for example, the structure of the two second supporting portions 402 arranged on the moving member 401 toward the side wall of the box 101 is asymmetric, and may be inconsistent in height in the up-down direction or inconsistent in position in the front-back direction, so as to adapt to the corresponding rotating members 302, so that the moving member 401 can push the two rotating members 302 to rotate synchronously, the bearing portions 304 of the rotating members 302 have the same motion track, and the stability of the storage container 201 is ensured. In the concrete implementation, can carry out rational configuration according to box 101 internal structure spare and installation space, asymmetric setting can adapt to different installation demands effectively, avoids the structure to interfere, improves the suitability.

In the solution that the rotating mechanism 301 is provided with the rotating member 302 and the driven member 313, the transmission structures adopted between the rotating member 302 and the driven member 313 on both sides of the storage container 201 may be the same or different, and may be configured reasonably according to the actual installation space and assembly requirements.

Referring to fig. 2, 3 and 17, in some embodiments, since the rotating member 302 and the moving member 401 have a butting relationship and a relative movement relationship, a roller can be properly arranged to reduce friction during relative movement. For example, the abutting portion 305 of the rotating member 302 is provided with a driving wheel 312, and the driving wheel 312 is used for abutting against the upper surface of the second supporting portion 402, so that the driving wheel 312 can roll on the upper surface of the second supporting portion 402 during the moving of the moving member 401 relative to the rotating member 302, thereby reducing friction.

After the rotating member 302 rotates to the set position, the driving wheel 312 is used for abutting against the upper surface of the second supporting portion 402, so that the driving wheel 312 can roll on the upper surface of the second supporting portion 402 during the moving process of the moving member 401 relative to the rotating member 302, thereby maintaining the position of the rotating member 302 and reducing friction.

Referring to fig. 2 and 17, the moving member 401 may include a sidewall 404 having a bottom wall 405 extending upward from one side of the bottom wall 405, and the sidewall 404 defines a second receiving space 408 for receiving an article. Therefore, the moving member 401 can also be used as a container to store articles, and in the process of pushing the moving member 401 into the refrigerating compartment 102, the rotating mechanism 301 can be simultaneously driven to lift the storage container 201 to the vacant area 109 at the rear part of the middle beam 104, and the moving member 401 is positioned below the storage container 201. It will be appreciated that in conventional french drawer door style refrigerators, a shallow tray is typically provided above the lower drawer 106 for holding smaller or crushable items (e.g., dumplings, pastries, etc.), for ease of access, and to avoid crushing of the stacked drawers, thereby optimizing stratification of the interior space. Based on these predetermined structures, the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention may be configured such that the rotation mechanism 301 and the storage container 201 are disposed at the rear portion of the center sill 104, and the tray of the conventional refrigerator is used as the moving member 401, so that the storage container 201 is lifted and lowered by pushing in and pulling out the tray. The space behind the center sill 104 can be effectively utilized, and the right side can be used for the access operation.

Fig. 18 is a schematic view illustrating the first state of the rotating mechanism in the refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 17 and 18, the second supporting portion 402 is disposed on the side wall 404 of the moving member 401, and may be formed by flanging from the top of the side wall 404, or the side wall 404 of the moving member 401 has a suitable thickness, and the top of the side wall 404 may be used for supporting the abutting portion 305 of the rotating member 302. The second supporting portion 402 includes a supporting section 409 extending along the front-rear direction and an inclined section 410 extending backward from the rear end of the supporting section 409 and inclining downward, so that when the rear end of the second supporting portion 402 abuts against the abutting portion 305 of the rotating member 302, the abutting portion 305 is abutted and pushed by the inclined section 410, and as the moving member 401 moves backward, the abutting portion 305 of the rotating member 302 is pushed by the inclined section 410 to rotate gradually, thereby effectively preventing the rotating member 302 from rotating too fast to cause technical lifting or technical falling of the storage container 201, and causing damage or falling of the articles in the storage container 201.
