The operation principle of the refrigerator and the storage box thereof according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to fig. 1 to 15.

As shown in fig. 11 and 12, in which the movement of the elastic telescopic mechanism 6 is simplified. The circular mounting hole of the right link 51 is concentric with the diameter of the fixing hole in the second receiving groove, and the two holes are matched with the mechanism cover fixing shaft 92 to connect the right link 51 to the storage container 4, and the axes of the two holes can be regarded as a first fixing axis O1. A first locus circle R1 is obtained by rotating around the first fixed axis O1 with the distance between the axis of the mounting hole 511 and the axis of the rotating shaft 512 as a radius. The axis of the fixed shaft 431 of the storage container 4 may be regarded as a second fixed axis O2, and a second locus circle R2 is obtained by rotating around the second fixed axis O2 with the radius of the maximum distance between the axis of the sleeve boss 612 and the axis of the movable rod boss 622. The partial arc A1 of the first trajectory circle R1, which intersects the second trajectory circle R2, is the movement trajectory of the axis of the movable link sleeve 622 of the first telescopic link.

When the user pulls the container cover 5, a force is applied to the container cover 5. The cover 50 rotates around the fixed shaft 92 under the action of the force to drive the left and right connecting rods 51 to rotate, and the first and second telescopic rods respectively engaged with the two connecting rods 51 rotate, thereby driving the movable rod 62 to retract in the hollow portion 611 of the sleeve 61. The compression spring 63 is always in a compressed state, and its elastic force always points to the axis of the rotating shaft 512 along the direction of the first telescopic rod 621, and provides a force for the first telescopic rod to extend.

In the process of opening and closing the cover body 50 of the container cover 5, the mounting hole 511 rotates to drive the protrusion 712 of the push rod 71 of the rotary pushing mechanism 7 to rotate along the double-end spiral groove 721 of the screw cap 72, and further drives the screw cap 72 to perform horizontal telescopic motion along the screw cap cover 82. The stroke of the screw cap 72 is related to the movement stroke of the cover 50, and when the cover 50 is opened, the screw cap 72 extends; the screw cap 72 is retracted during the closing movement of the container lid 5.

As shown in fig. 13, in the initial state, that is, when the lid 50 of the container lid 5 is closed, both the first container lid connecting mechanism and the second container lid connecting mechanism are in the reset state.

The elastic force of the compression spring 63 is directed to the axis of the rotating shaft 512 along the axial direction of the first telescopic rod, and the longitudinal degree of freedom of the lid 50 can be locked by the force acting on the position, so that the lid 50 closes the box opening 401 by adhering to the front end of the box 40 of the storage container 4. Meanwhile, the protrusion 712 of the push rod 71 of the screwing mechanism 7 is parallel to the connecting rod 51, and the screw cap 72 is completely retracted.

As shown in fig. 14, when the cover 50 of the container cover 5 moves to the optimal turning angle range, i.e. the opening angle of the cover 50 is 20 ° to 30 °, the included angle between the connecting rod 51 and the axis of the first telescopic rod of the elastic telescopic mechanism 6 is 180 °, and the rod body 711 is retracted most on a straight line. The compression amount of the compression spring 63 is the largest, the force of the compression spring 63 is perpendicular to the cover body 50 of the container cover 5, and the cover body 50 can be pushed open, so that the rear half stroke of the cover body 50 of the container cover 5 can be automatically opened. Therefore, the flip angle interval of the cover 50 can be set by adjusting the elastic coefficient of the pressing spring 63.

As shown in fig. 15, when the cover 50 is completely opened by 90 ° to the right, the elastic expansion mechanism 6 is moved in the reverse direction. At this time, the connecting rod 51 is perpendicular to the top wall plane of the storage container 4, the included angle between the axis of the first telescopic rod of the elastic telescopic mechanism 6 and the connecting rod 51 is in the range of 180-90 degrees, and the extension amount of the push rod body 711 is the largest. The force of the compression spring 63 is directed to the axis of the rotating shaft 512 along the axial direction of the first telescopic rod, and the rotational degree of freedom of the cover 50 can be locked by the elastic force acting on the position, so that the cover 50 is kept in an open state. Meanwhile, the protrusion 712 of the rotary pushing mechanism 7 is perpendicular to the connecting rod 51, and the screw cap 72 is completely extended.

When the screw cap 72 is completely extended, if the refrigerator door 2 is closed at this time, the extended screw cap 72 interferes with the refrigerator body 1, the screw cap 72 is pressed to perform retraction movement, the push rod 71 is driven to rotate, the connecting rod 51 and the cover body 50 are driven to rotate, and the storage box 3 is closed.
