As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the storage container includes a storage body 100 and a secondary storage article 200. The storage body 100 is formed with a storage space 101. The sub-storage object 200 is formed with a temporary storage space 201, and the temporary storage space 201 has a storage opening. The sub-storage object 200 is movably connected with the storage main body 100, and the sub-storage object 200 has a first position for covering the storage opening with the wall surface of the storage main body 100 and a second position for exposing the storage opening, and is switched between the first position and the second position by being movable relative to the storage main body 100. Specifically, the secondary reservoir 200 is pivotally connected to the reservoir body 100 and is switched between a first position and a second position by rotation relative to the reservoir body 100.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in particular, the storage space 101 has a top opening. The sub-storage item 200 is disposed at the front end wall of the storage body 100, and the sub-storage item 200 in the first position covers the storage opening with the front end wall of the storage body 100. Further, the storage main body 100 is cylindrical, and an opening of the storage space 101 is formed in a circumferential wall of the storage main body 100. The sub-tank 200 is cylindrical, and a storage opening is formed in an end surface of the sub-tank 200.

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. In use, the storage body 100 is placed transversely such that the two circular end walls respectively form the front and rear end walls of the storage body 100 and store items into the storage space 101 via the opening.

The cylindrical secondary storage article 200 is comparable in diameter to the storage body 100, and the secondary storage article 200 has a circular end wall removed at one end, thereby forming a circular storage opening. The secondary reservoir member 200 is pivotally disposed at the front end wall of the reservoir body 100, the secondary reservoir member 200 being switchable between a first position and a second position by rotation relative to the reservoir body 100.

Referring to fig. 1, when the secondary storage article 200 is in the first position, the storage opening of the secondary storage article 200 is oriented toward the front end wall of the storage body 100, and because the secondary storage article 200 is of comparable diameter to the storage body 100, the front end wall of the storage body 100 is configured to cover the storage opening and the secondary storage article 200 and the storage body 100 generally comprise a larger cylindrical structure. Referring to fig. 2, when the sub-storage article 200 is in the second position, the storage opening is no longer directed toward the front end wall of the storage main body 100, so that the storage opening is exposed to the outside, allowing a user to place articles into the temporary storage space 201 through the storage opening.

In the solution of the present embodiment, by providing the sub-storage object 200 outside the storage main body 100, the sub-storage object 200 is formed with a temporary storage space 201. When the temporary storage space 201 is not used, the auxiliary storage object 200 can be located at the first position, so that the wall surface of the storage main body 100 is utilized to cover the storage opening of the temporary storage space 201, and the temporary storage space 201 is in a hidden state, so that the whole appearance of the storage container is prevented from being influenced. Under the condition that more objects to be stored are stored in the storage space 101, when a user needs to take the objects to be stored from the storage space 101, the auxiliary storage object 200 can be moved to the second position where the storage opening is exposed, at this time, the user can place other objects to be stored which cover the objects to be stored in the temporary storage space 201 through the storage opening, so that the user can take the objects to be stored conveniently, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Further, by providing the storage main body 100 and the sub-storage article 200 in a cylindrical shape, the circumference of the cylindrical structure is minimized in the case of the same volume, so that materials can be saved.

The second position of the auxiliary storage object may be any position where the storage opening is exposed.

In other embodiments, the storage body may have a square body or other shape. Alternatively, the secondary storage member may have a structure of another shape such as a square body. In addition, the auxiliary storage object can also be arranged on the left wall or the right wall or the bottom wall of the storage main body. The rotatable shaft extends longitudinally with the secondary storage article disposed in the bottom wall of the storage body.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the storage main body may be slidably disposed at the bottom of the storage main body, and slide out or slide to the bottom of the storage main body along the front-back direction.

As shown in fig. 1-3, the secondary storage article 200 is pivotally connected to the bottom end of the front end wall of the storage body 100 such that the storage opening of the secondary storage article 200 in the second position is oriented longitudinally. Specifically, the axis of rotation of the secondary storage article 200 extends in a transverse direction and is perpendicular to the axis of the storage body 100. Therefore, after the auxiliary storage object 200 rotates to the second position, the storage opening of the temporary storage space 201 can be approximately upwards, so that the process of storing the objects in the temporary storage space 201 can be more convenient.

As shown in fig. 3, further, the bottom end of the front end wall of the storage main body 100 is provided with a stop portion 110 extending towards the outer periphery, and the stop portion 110 is used for abutting against the auxiliary storage object 200 so as to stop the auxiliary storage object 200 from continuing to rotate towards the direction in which the stop portion 110 is located. Specifically, the stopper 110 is a plate-like structure formed by extending outward an outer edge of a front end wall of the storage main body 100. Referring to the plane in fig. 3, the rotation direction of the auxiliary storage article 200 from the first position to the second position is counterclockwise, and when the auxiliary storage article 200 rotates to abut against the stop portion 110, the stop portion 110 can act as a stop for the auxiliary storage article 200, so that the auxiliary storage article 200 cannot continue to rotate counterclockwise. Therefore, the sub-storage object 200 can be prevented from moving due to the excessive weight of the objects in the temporary storage space 201, so that the sub-storage object 200 can be kept in a stable state.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, further, the storage main body 100 is provided with a first locking structure 310, the auxiliary storage article 200 is provided with a second locking structure 320 matched with the first locking structure 310, and the first locking structure 310 and the second locking structure 320 are used for fixing the auxiliary storage article 200 in the first position. Specifically, the first locking structure 310 is a buckle, and the second locking structure 320 is a card hole. When the auxiliary storage article 200 is in the first position, the buckle serving as the first locking structure 310 is embedded into the clamping hole serving as the second locking structure 320, so that the auxiliary storage article 200 is fixed in the first position. When the auxiliary storage article 200 needs to be opened, the buckle is stirred to enable the auxiliary storage article 200 to leave the clamping hole, and then the auxiliary storage article 200 can move.

By providing the first locking structure 310 on the storage body 100 and providing the second locking structure 320 on the secondary storage article 200, the first locking structure 310 can cooperate with the second locking structure 320 when the secondary storage article 200 is in the first position, thereby locking the secondary storage article 200 and fixing the secondary storage article 200 in the first position. Further, the sub-stored object 200 can be prevented from being loosened to cause its own movement without requiring use.

It should be noted that in other embodiments, the first locking structure may be a hole, and the second locking structure may be a buckle. Alternatively, the first locking structure and the second locking structure may be other locking structures, such as a magnetic attraction structure, an adhesive structure, and the like.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, further, the storage container further includes a storage cap 400, the storage cap 400 is slidably connected to the storage body 100, and the storage cap 400 slides in a direction around the axis of the storage body 100 to close or open the opening of the storage space 101. Specifically, the storage cover 400 is an arc-shaped plate, or, in other words, the storage cover 400 is a cylindrical part of the circumferential wall as a whole. And, the inner diameter of the storage cap 400 is equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the storage main body 100, so that the storage cap 400 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, the storage cap 400 can cover an opening of the storage body 100 to form a relatively closed storage space 101 with the storage body 100. Referring to fig. 2, by moving the storage cover 400, the opening of the storage space 101 can be exposed for taking and placing the stored objects.

By providing the storage cover 400 on the storage main body 100, the storage cover 400 can cover the opening of the storage space 101, thereby making the storage space 101 in a relatively closed storage state, and thus, mutual smell of the stored material placed in the storage space 101 and the outside can be prevented.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, further, the storage container further includes a transmission assembly 500, and the transmission assembly 500 is in transmission connection with the storage cover 400, so that the movable storage body 100 drives the transmission assembly 500 to move, thereby driving the storage cover 400 to slide to close or open the opening of the storage space 101.

Specifically, the transmission assembly 500 includes a first bevel gear 510 and a second bevel gear 520. The rotational axis of the first bevel gear 510 is perpendicular to the axis of the reservoir body 100. The transmission shaft of the second bevel gear 520 is parallel to the axis of the storage body 100, the second bevel gear 520 is meshed with the first bevel gear 510, and the second bevel gear 520 is in transmission connection with the storage cap 400. The storage main body 100 moving along the axis of the storage main body drives the first bevel gear 510 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 510 drives the second bevel gear 520 to rotate, so that the storage cover 400 is driven to move.

Referring to fig. 4 to 6, the transmission assembly 500 further includes a first column gear 530, a second column gear 540, and a fixed rack 550. The first pillar gear 530 is concentrically coupled with the first bevel gear 510. The second spur gear 540 is concentrically coupled to the second bevel gear 520 and drivingly coupled to the storage cap 400. The fixed rack 550 is in meshed connection with the first post gear 530. The storage main body 100 moving along its own axis drives the first pillar gear 530 to move relative to the fixed rack 550, thereby rotating.

Specifically, the fixed rack 550 extends along the axial direction of the reservoir body 100, i.e., along the direction of movement of the reservoir body 100. The rotation axes of the first bevel gear 510 and the first post gear 530 extend in the longitudinal direction. The first bevel gear 510 and the first spur gear 530 are connected by a connecting shaft, the axis of which is the rotational axis of the first bevel gear 510 and the first spur gear 530. The connecting shaft between the first bevel gear 510 and the first spur gear 530 passes through the circumferential wall of the reservoir body 100, so that the movable reservoir body 100 can move the first spur gear 530. The first pillar gear 530 is engaged with the fixed rack 550, so that when the first pillar gear 530 moves with the storage main body 100, the first pillar gear 530 moves along the fixed rack 550, thereby rotating the first pillar gear 530 by using the engagement relationship between the first pillar gear 530 and the fixed rack 550, and then driving the first bevel gear 510 to rotate through the connection shaft.

Further, the rotational axes of the second bevel gear 520 and the second post gear 540 coincide with the axis of the reservoir body 100. The second bevel gear 520 and the second post gear 540 are connected by a connecting shaft, the axis of which is the axis of rotation of the second bevel gear 520 and the second post gear 540. The second column gear 540 is engaged with the inner surface of the storage cap 400. The rotating first bevel gear 510 drives the second bevel gear 520 to rotate through the meshing relationship, and the second bevel gear 520 drives the second post gear 540 to rotate through the connecting shaft. The second column gear 540 drives the storage cover 400 to rotate.

Through with drive assembly 500 and storing lid 400 transmission connection for the activity storing main body 100 can drive assembly 500 activity, thereby drive storing lid 400 activity, makes storing lid 400 can be along with the activity of storing main body 100 automatic switch-over between the closed position of closed storing space 101 and the open position of open storing space 101. Therefore, when the stored objects need to be taken from the storage space 101, the storage cover 400 opens the storage space 101 under the driving of the transmission assembly 500 while the storage main body 100 is pulled out. After the stored objects are taken and placed, the storage cover 400 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 400 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, in the case where the storage body 100 is provided in a cylindrical shape, the storage lid 400 is switched between the closed position and the open position in a direction around the axis of the storage body 100, that is, the storage lid 400 is always attached to the outer periphery of the storage body 100. Therefore, in the process of moving the storage cover 400, excessive changes in the longitudinal space and the transverse space occupied by the storage main body 100 and the storage cover 400 together are not caused, thereby being beneficial to improving the utilization rate of the storage container to the installation space.

By utilizing the transmission relation among the first bevel gear 510, the second bevel gear 520, the first post gear 530, the second post gear 540 and the fixed rack 550 to drive the storage cover 400 to move, the transmission among the gears is more reliable, the transmission relation is more accurate, and the sizes of the gears and the racks can be accurately designed according to the size and the moving distance of the storage main body 100.

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. 4, the circumferential wall of the memory body 100 is provided with a stopper rib 120. The storage cover 400 is provided with a limiting groove 401, and the limiting rib 120 is matched with the limiting groove 401 to guide the movement of the storage cover 400. Specifically, the stopper rib 120 extends along the circumferential direction of the memory body 100, and the extending direction of the stopper groove 401 is the same as the stopper rib 120. During the movement of the storage cover 400, the stopper rib 120 moves in the stopper groove 401. That is, the limiting groove 401 plays a role in guiding and limiting the movement of the limiting rib 120, thereby playing a role in guiding and limiting the movement of the storage cover 400, and improving the stability of the movement of the storage cover 400.

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, 2 and 6, the storage container includes a support 600, the support 600 supporting the storage body 100, the storage body 100 being capable of sliding with respect to the support 600. Specifically, the support 600 is fixedly mounted during use of the storage container, and a chute (not shown) is provided on the support 600, the chute extending along the moving direction of the storage body 100. The storage body 100 is provided with a sliding rib 130, and the sliding rib 130 is embedded in the sliding groove. The slide bar 130 can slide in the slide groove. Therefore, the supporter 600 supports the memory body 100 by the interaction force with the sliding rib 130, and at the same time, the sliding rib 130 can slide in the sliding groove so that the memory body 100 can move along the axis.

By providing the support 600, a support can be formed for the reservoir body 100 and the reservoir body 100 can be made movable relative to the support 600, 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. 4, 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. Alternatively, the functional module 140 may be a light emitting module, such as a general lighting module, or a module that emits special light for food absorption to extend the freshness effect. Alternatively, the functional module 140 may be a temperature measurement module, such as a temperature sensor. Alternatively, the functional module 140 may be a humidity conditioning module, such as a module that generates or absorbs moisture. Alternatively, the functional module 140 may be an image monitoring module, such as an image camera, or a thermal imaging camera, or the like.

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 and 4, further, the sub-storage part 200 is provided with a handle 210 to facilitate the user's drawing of the storage container.

As shown in fig. 7, 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.

As shown in conjunction with fig. 1 to 6, in particular, the refrigerating apparatus includes a base 30, the base 30 is fitted in the accommodating compartment 11, and the storage container 20 is provided on the base 30. Specifically, the support 600 and the fixing rack 550 are fixed to the base 30. The storage main body 100 is supported by the support 600.

In other embodiments, the storage container may be directly disposed at the bottom wall of the accommodating compartment without providing a base.

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. 7, the refrigeration appliance includes two magnetic field assemblies 40. Two magnetic field assemblies 40 are disposed on opposite sides of the storage container 20. The magnetic field assembly 40 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 40 are respectively disposed at the upper and lower sides of the storage container 20. The magnetic field assembly 40 is flat. The projection of the storage space 101 on the plane of the surface of the magnetic field assembly 40 facing the storage space falls on the surface of the magnetic field assembly 40, so that the magnetic field assembly 40 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 40 in the accommodating compartment 11, the magnetic field assembly 40 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 disposing two magnetic field assemblies 40 in the accommodating compartment 11 and disposing the two magnetic field assemblies 40 on opposite sides of the storage container 20, uniformity of the magnetic field is improved, thereby improving uniformity of the fresh-keeping effect of the food materials.

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 40 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 40 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.
