As shown in fig. 1-3, in one embodiment, a storage container includes a storage body 100, a storage cap 200, and a drive assembly 300. The storage main body 100 is formed with a storage space 101 having an opening. The storage cover 200 is slidably connected to the storage main body 100, and the storage cover 200 has a closed position closing the storage space 101 and an open position opening the storage space 101. The transmission assembly 300 is in transmission connection with the storage cover 200, so that the movable storage main body 100 drives the transmission assembly 300 to move, and the storage cover 200 is driven to switch between a closed position and an open position.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in particular, the storage body 100 has a cylindrical shape, and an opening of the storage space 101 is formed in a circumferential wall of the storage body 100. The storage body 100, which moves along its own axis, moves the storage cap 200 via the transmission assembly 300 in a direction about the axis of the storage body 100 between a closed position and an open position.

Specifically, the cylindrical storage body 100 has two circular end walls and an arcuate circumferential wall, which enclose a storage space 101. Wherein the storage body 100 has a part of the circumferential wall removed, thereby forming an opening of the storage space 101 at the circumferential wall. During use, the storage body 100 is placed laterally such that the circumferential wall acts as a bottom wall of the storage body 100, placing items to be stored into the storage space 101 via the opening.

Further, the storage cover 200 is an arc-shaped plate, or, in other words, the storage cover 200 is a cylindrical part of the circumferential wall as a whole. And, the inner diameter of the storage cap 200 is equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the storage main body 100, so that the storage cap 200 can cover the circumferential direction of the storage main body 100 and can move in a direction around the axis of the storage main body 100, that is, in the circumferential direction of the storage main body 100. Referring to fig. 1, when the storage lid 200 is in the closed position, the storage lid 200 covers the opening of the storage body 100, thereby forming a relatively closed storage space 101 with the storage body 100. Referring to fig. 2, when the storage cover 200 is in the open position, the opening of the storage space 101 is exposed for taking and placing the stored objects.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the storage body 100 is movable in the direction of its own axis during use of the storage container. When a user needs to take and place a stored object, the storage main body 100 is pulled along the axis of the storage main body 100 to leave the original position, and the transmission assembly 300 is driven to move in the process that the storage main body 100 is pulled along the axis direction, so that the storage cover 200 is driven to move around the axis of the storage main body 100. As the storage main body 100 moves continuously, the storage cover 200 also moves away from the closed position, so that the opening degree of the opening of the storage space 101 is increased, and when the storage main body 100 is pulled to a proper position, the storage cover 200 is also in the open position, so that a user can directly take and put the stored objects. After the storage main body 100 is completely fetched and placed, the user can push the storage main body 100 back to the original position, and in the process of returning the storage main body 100 to the original position, the transmission assembly 300 can drive the storage cover 200 to move towards the closed position, and when the storage main body 100 returns to the original position, the storage cover 200 also returns to the closed position, so that the storage space 101 is in a relatively closed storage state.

In the solution of this embodiment, the transmission assembly 300 is in transmission connection with the storage cover 200, so that the movable storage main body 100 can drive the transmission assembly 300 to move, so as to drive the storage cover 200 to move, and the storage cover 200 can be automatically switched between a closed position for closing the storage space 101 and an open position for opening the storage space 101 along with the movement of the storage main body 100. Therefore, when the stored objects need to be taken and placed from the storage space 101, the storage cover 200 is driven by the transmission assembly 300 to open the storage space 101 while the storage main body 100 is pulled out. After the stored objects are taken and placed, the storage cover 200 can return to the closed position to close the storage space 101 only by pushing the storage main body 100 back to the original position.

Therefore, in the use process of the storage container, only the Chu Wuzhu body 100 is required to be pulled, and the storage cover 200 is not required to be opened independently and manually, so that the storage container can form the relatively closed storage space 101, and meanwhile, the storage space 101 is very convenient to open and close, and the use experience of a user is improved.

Further, by arranging the storage main body 100 in a cylindrical shape, the storage lid 200 is switched between the closed position and the open position in a direction around the axis of the storage main body 100, that is, the storage lid 200 is always attached to the outer periphery of the storage main body 100. Therefore, in the process of moving the storage cover 200, excessive changes in the longitudinal space and the transverse space occupied by the storage main body 100 and the storage cover 200 together are not caused, thereby being beneficial to improving the utilization rate of the storage container to the installation space.

It should be noted that in other embodiments, the storage body may have other shapes such as square. In addition, the storage cover can also be laterally slidably switched between a closed position and an open position.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, in particular, the transmission assembly 300 includes a first bevel gear 310 and a second bevel gear 320. The rotational axis of the first bevel gear 310 is perpendicular to the axis of the reservoir body 100. The transmission shaft of the second bevel gear 320 is parallel to the axis of the storage body 100, the second bevel gear 320 is meshed with the first bevel gear 310, and the second bevel gear 320 is in transmission connection with the storage cap 200. The storage main body 100 moving along the axis of the storage main body drives the first bevel gear 310 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 310 drives the second bevel gear 320 to rotate, so that the storage cover 200 is driven to move.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the transmission assembly 300 further includes a first column gear 330, a second column gear 340, and a fixed rack 350. The first pillar gear 330 is concentrically coupled with the first bevel gear 310. The second post gear 340 is concentrically coupled to the second bevel gear 320 and drivingly coupled to the storage cap 200. The fixed rack 350 is engaged with the first column gear 330. The storage main body 100 moving along its own axis drives the first pillar gear 330 to move relative to the fixed rack 350, thereby rotating.

Specifically, the fixed rack 350 extends in the axial direction of the reservoir body 100, that is, in the direction of movement of the reservoir body 100. The rotational shafts of the first bevel gear 310 and the first spur gear 330 extend in the longitudinal direction. The first bevel gear 310 and the first spur gear 330 are connected by a connecting shaft, the axis of which is the rotational axis of the first bevel gear 310 and the first spur gear 330. The connecting shaft between the first bevel gear 310 and the first spur gear 330 passes through the circumferential wall of the reservoir body 100, so that the movable reservoir body 100 can move the first spur gear 330. The first pinion 330 is engaged with the fixed rack 350, so that when the first pinion 330 moves with the storage body 100, the first pinion 330 moves along the fixed rack 350, thereby rotating the first pinion 330 by using the engagement relationship between the first pinion 330 and the fixed rack 350, and then driving the first bevel gear 310 to rotate through the connection shaft.

Further, the rotational axes of the second bevel gear 320 and the second post gear 340 coincide with the axis of the reservoir body 100. The second bevel gear 320 and the second post gear 340 are connected by a connecting shaft, the axis of which is the rotational axis of the second bevel gear 320 and the second post gear 340. The second post gear 340 is engaged with the inner surface of the storage cap 200. The rotating first bevel gear 310 drives the second bevel gear 320 to rotate through the meshing relationship, and the second bevel gear 320 drives the second post gear 340 to rotate through the connecting shaft. The second post gear 340 drives the storage cap 200 to rotate.

By utilizing the transmission relation among the first bevel gear 310, the second bevel gear 320, the first post gear 330, the second post gear 340 and the fixed rack 350 to drive the storage cover 200 to move, the transmission between the gears is more reliable, the transmission relation is more accurate, and the accurate design of the sizes of the gears and the racks according to the size and the moving distance of the storage main body 100 is facilitated.

In other embodiments, the first pillar gear may not be provided, but only a connecting shaft connected to the first bevel gear may be provided, and the connecting shaft may rotate along with the movement of the storage main body by using the friction between the outer peripheral surface and the outside, so as to drive the first bevel gear to rotate.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the second pillar gear may not be provided, and a connecting rod may be provided so that the second bevel gear is directly connected to the storage lid. Or the second bevel gear is directly meshed with the storage cover.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, a plurality of pillar gears may be disposed between the second bevel gear and the storage cover, so that the transmission efficiency can be adjusted by using the number of pillar gears, and a suitable number of pillar gears can be selected according to the length of the storage body.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the circumferential wall of the reservoir body 100 is provided with a stopper rib 110. The storage cover 200 is provided with a limiting groove 201, and the limiting rib 110 and the limiting groove 201 are matched with each other to guide the movement of the storage cover 200. Specifically, the stopper rib 110 extends along the circumferential direction of the memory body 100, and the extending direction of the stopper groove 201 is the same as the stopper rib 110. In the process of moving the storage cover 200 from the closed position to the open position, the limit rib 110 is continuously embedded into the limit groove 201, that is, the contact ratio between the limit rib 110 and the limit groove 201 is larger and larger.

Through setting up spacing muscle 110 at the storing owner body 100 to set up spacing groove 201 at storing lid 200, at the in-process that storing lid 200 removed, spacing muscle 110 can be at spacing groove 201 in the activity, that is to say, spacing groove 201 plays the spacing effect of guide to the removal of spacing muscle 110, thereby plays the spacing effect of guide to the activity of storing lid 200, has improved the stability of storing lid 200 activity.

It should be noted that in other embodiments, the limiting groove may be formed by recessing the inner surface of the storage cover outward, so that the outer surface of the storage cover is not notched. Or, the limit groove can be formed by a convex rib which is inwards protruded from the inner surface of the storage cover, so that the outer surface of the storage cover is not notched.

As shown in fig. 1 and 5, the storage container includes a support 400, the support 400 supporting the storage body 100, and the storage body 100 being capable of sliding with respect to the support 400. Specifically, the support 400 is fixedly installed during use of the storage container, and a chute (not labeled in the drawing) is provided on the support 400, and extends along the moving direction of the storage body 100. The storage body 100 is provided with a sliding rib 120, and the sliding rib 120 is embedded in the sliding groove. The slide bar 120 can slide in the slide groove. Therefore, the supporter 400 supports the memory body 100 by the interaction force with the sliding bar 120, and at the same time, the sliding bar 120 can slide in the sliding groove so that the memory body 100 can move along the axis.

By providing the support 400, a support can be formed for the reservoir body 100 and the reservoir body 100 can be made movable relative to the support 400, thereby guiding the movement of the reservoir body 100.

It should be noted that in other embodiments, the support may also be a member that supports the storage body from both sides, and the support surface is shaped the same as the circumferential surface of the storage body, thereby enabling the storage body to move relative to the support.

As shown in fig. 3, further, a plurality of supporting ribs 130 are disposed in the storage space 101. The support ribs 130 serve to support objects placed in the storage space 101. Specifically, the support ribs 130 are raised from the inner surface of the circumferential wall of the reservoir body 100 in an inwardly directed direction. The support ribs 130 can abut against the stored object placed in the storage space so that a space is provided between the stored object and the inner wall of the storage main body 100, so that not only the entire surface of the stored object can be completely exposed in the cooling space, thereby improving the cooling effect of the stored object, but also some special stored objects are prevented from being stuck to the inner wall of the storage main body 100.

As shown in fig. 3, further, a plurality of through holes 102 are provided at the bottom of the storage body 100, and the through holes 102 communicate the storage space 101 with the outside. The through holes 102 and the support ribs 130 are arranged in a staggered manner. Through set up the through-hole 102 at the storing body 100 for cold wind can get into from the through-hole 102, improves the refrigeration efficiency of storing space 101. In addition, the liquid collected in the storage space 101 can flow out from the through hole 102, so that the problem that the storage space 101 is odorous due to accumulation of the liquid in the storage space 101 is avoided. In addition, the support ribs 130 are matched to support the stored object, so that the cold air entering the storage space 101 from the through hole 102 can better refrigerate the stored object, and the liquid can flow out of the stored object.

As shown in fig. 3, further, a functional module 140 is disposed in the storage space 101. The functional module 140 may be a sterilization module, such as an ultraviolet sterilization module, an active oxygen sterilization module, or the like. Alternatively, the functional module 140 may be a deodorizing module, such as a module containing activated carbon, or a module containing other deodorizing agents.

By providing the functional module 140 in the storage space 101, storage can be assisted, and use experience can be improved.

As shown in fig. 1 to 2, further, the end wall of the storage main body 100 is provided with a handle 150 to facilitate the user's drawing Chu Wuzhu of the body 100.

As shown in fig. 6, in one embodiment, the storage container further comprises a base 500. The reservoir body 100 is disposed on a base 500. Specifically, the base 500 is a double-layered structure, each of which may be used to dispose the reservoir body 100. The support 400 is fixed to the base 500, and the fixing rack 350 is also fixed to the base 500. The storage main body 100 is slidably connected with the support 400 through the sliding rib 120, and the support 400 supports the storage main body 100.

When the storage main body 100 moves relative to the support 400, the first pillar gear 330 is driven to move along the fixed rack 350, so that the first pillar gear 330 rotates by utilizing the meshing relationship between the first pillar gear 330 and the fixed rack 350, and then the first bevel gear 310 is driven to rotate by the connecting shaft. The rotating first bevel gear 310 drives the second bevel gear 320 to rotate through the meshing relationship, and the second bevel gear 320 drives the second post gear 340 to rotate through the connecting shaft. The second post gear 340 drives the storage cap 200 to rotate.

Through setting up the storing body 100 on the base 500 for the storing container can be assembled and then wholly install in the refrigerator, thereby can make the installation process of storing container more convenient.

It should be noted that, an example in which one storage body 100 is provided on the base 500 is shown in the drawings, it is understood that a plurality of storage bodies 100 may be provided on the base 500. The base 500 may be provided with the storage main body 100 on each layer, or may be provided with the storage main body 100 on only one layer, and the food material may be placed on the other layer by using the base 500 itself.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the base may be a single-layer structure, or may be a three-layer or more-layer structure.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, in one embodiment, the storage container further includes a storage article 600. The placement object 600 forms a placement space. The placement piece 600 is provided at the front end wall of the storage body 100, and the placement piece 600 is pivotally connected to the storage body 100 so as to be switchable between a position where the front end wall of the storage body 100 covers the opening of the storage space and a position where the opening of the storage space is exposed. Specifically, the object 600 is cylindrical, and an opening is formed at one end to form an opening of the object accommodating space. The circumferential wall of one end of the opening is pivotally connected to the reservoir body 100, with the diameter of the placement piece 600 corresponding to the diameter of the reservoir body 100. Therefore, the storage article 600 may be rotated to a position such that the opening of the storage space faces the storage main body 100 such that the front end wall of the storage main body 100 covers the opening of the storage space. It may also be rotated to a position such that the axis of the storage article 600 is perpendicular to or at an angle to the axis of the storage body 100, thereby exposing the opening of the storage space.

In the use process, the storage object 600 is usually located at a position where the front end wall of the storage main body 100 covers the opening of the storage space, when a user needs to take and place the storage object from the storage main body 100, if the storage object is difficult to find, the storage object 600 can be rotated to a position where the opening of the storage space is exposed, so that some storage objects can be temporarily placed by using the storage space, and the storage object can be taken and placed more conveniently.

As shown in fig. 9, in one embodiment, the refrigeration appliance includes a cabinet 10 and a storage container 20 as in any of the embodiments described above. The case 10 defines a receiving compartment 11. The storage container 20 is disposed in the accommodating compartment 11. Specifically, the refrigeration device is a refrigerator. The storage compartment 11 may be a compartment provided in a refrigerator such as a refrigerating compartment, a freezing compartment, or a temperature changing compartment. The base 500 is fitted in the accommodating chamber 11, and the structure of the reservoir body 100 and the like is provided on the base 500.

In other embodiments, the storage container 20 may be directly disposed on the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 11 without the base 500.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the refrigeration apparatus may also include a plurality of storage containers. The plurality of storage containers may be disposed in the same accommodating chamber or may be disposed in different accommodating chambers.

Referring to fig. 9, the refrigeration appliance includes two magnetic field assemblies 30. Two magnetic field assemblies 30 are disposed on opposite sides of the storage container 20, respectively. The magnetic field assembly 30 is disposed in the accommodating compartment 11 and covers the storage space 101 to generate a magnetic field within the storage space 101. Specifically, two magnetic field assemblies 30 are respectively provided at the upper and lower sides of the storage container 20. The magnetic field assembly 30 is flat. The projection of the storage space 101 on the plane of the surface of the magnetic field assembly 30 facing the storage space falls into the surface of the magnetic field assembly 30, so that the magnetic field assembly 30 generates a magnetic field in the storage space 101, thereby playing a magnetic field auxiliary role in refrigerating and freezing of food materials.

By arranging the magnetic field assembly 30 in the accommodating compartment 11, the magnetic field assembly 30 can generate a magnetic field in the storage space 101, thereby playing a role in magnetic field assistance for food storage and improving the preservation effect of the food. In particular, in the refrigerated state, the magnetic field can keep the food material in a non-frozen state at a lower temperature, which helps to prolong the storage time of the food material. In a frozen state, the magnetic field can avoid the generation of large ice crystals in the food material, so that juice loss caused by the large ice crystals puncturing the cell wall of the food material is avoided.

Further, by arranging two magnetic field assemblies 30 in the accommodating chamber 11 and arranging the two magnetic field assemblies 30 on opposite sides of the storage container 20, uniformity of the magnetic field is improved, and uniformity of the food preservation effect is improved.

In other embodiments, the two magnetic field assemblies may be disposed on the front side and the rear side of the storage container or on the left side and the right side, respectively, so as to ensure the opposite arrangement.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the refrigeration apparatus may also be provided with only one magnetic field assembly.

In addition, it should be noted that in other embodiments, the magnetic field assembly may be disposed within the tank, i.e., within the inner layer of the tank wall.

Specifically, the magnetic field assembly 30 may include a permanent magnet sheet and a shim plate, both of which are flat and are disposed in a conforming manner such that the magnetic field assembly 30 is generally flat. The permanent magnet piece is used for producing the magnetic field, and even magnetic plate sets up in the permanent magnet piece one side that deviates from storing container 20, and even magnetic plate is used for guiding the magnetic field, improves the homogeneity of magnetic field in the coverage area. The magnetic homogenizing plate is made of magnetic conductive material, such as silicon steel material. The magnetic field assembly 30 may also include an electromagnetic coil disposed on a side of the permanent magnet sheet facing the storage container 20 for supplementing the magnetic field of the permanent magnet sheet when desired.

It should be noted that the magnetic field assembly may be just a permanent magnet sheet and a shim plate, or just an electromagnetic coil and a shim plate. Either only permanent magnet pieces or only electromagnetic coils.

As shown in fig. 9, further, the refrigeration apparatus includes a support member 40. The support member 40 is fixed to a side wall of the case 10. For example, screw fixation, snap fixation or adhesive fixation may be employed. The support member 40 is formed with a clamping groove 41, and the magnetic field assembly 30 is drawably disposed in the clamping groove 41.

Specifically, each magnetic field assembly 30 corresponds to two support members 40, the two support members 40 are respectively disposed on the left and right side walls of the case 10, and the clamping grooves 41 of the two support members 40 are disposed opposite to each other. The magnetic field assembly 30 can be inserted into the clamping grooves 41 of the two support members 40 in the front-rear direction so as to be supported by the support members 40. Thus, by pulling the magnetic field assembly 30 outwardly, the magnetic field assembly 30 can be pulled out of the clamping groove 41.

By providing the case 10 with the support member 40 formed with the holding groove 41, the magnetic field assembly 30 can be drawably provided in the holding groove 41. Thus, it is convenient for a user to install the magnetic field assembly 30 and to take out the magnetic field assembly 30.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present application, a supporting member 40 may be disposed on a magnetic field assembly 30, where the width of the clamping groove 41 is equal to the thickness of the magnetic field assembly 30, so as to tightly clamp the magnetic field assembly 30. I.e. one magnetic field assembly 30 is provided with at least one support member 40.

It should be noted that in other embodiments, the support member may also be configured when the magnetic field assembly is longitudinally positioned. When two support members are provided, the two support members are disposed on opposite sides of the longitudinal direction of the magnetic field assembly. When one is configured, it is preferably disposed at the bottom end of the magnetic field assembly.
