  • FIG. 6 shows the structure of the refrigerator 101 with a storage box and a shelf within a lining 100 of a refrigerator in a schematic representation.
  • the lining 100 forms a cooling chamber 101 of the refrigerator, in which cooling chamber 1 extendable storage boxes 300a, 300b, 300c are accommodated.
  • a shelf 200 is supported between a left side wall 111 and a right side wall 120 within the refrigerated space 101 to divide the refrigerated space 101 into different storage spaces.
  • the shelf 2 can be used both to cover the storage box 300b and, if necessary, to support the storage box 300a.
  • the shelf 200 extends in the direction of the end face of the refrigerated space 101 and inclines downwards in order to form a control surface 210 on which an actuator 500 is provided, the function and structure of which can be gathered from the following description.
  • the operating surface 210 of the shelf 200 slopes downwards by a predetermined angle, which enables the user to open the door of the refrigerator with a clear and to view the actuator 500 attached to the operating surface 210 with a clear view and to actuate the actuator 500 on the inclined operating surface 210 .
  • operating surface 210 extends forward and inclines downwards, so that actuation of actuator 500 located on operating surface 210 by the user is not prevented by a storage box 300a mounted above shelf 200, and the length of the Storage box 300a attached to shelf 200 in the longitudinal direction for removing obstacles when viewing or actuating actuator 500 can be omitted, which contributes to an increased volume of storage box 300a attached above shelf 200, with the length of storage box 300a in the longitudinal direction corresponding to that of the one below the Shelf 200 arranged storage box 300b can correspond.
  • the operating surface 210 inclines downwards, preferably at an angle of between 20 and 45 degrees.
  • the lid 400 arranged between the storage box 300b and the shelf 200 substantially covers the open top of the storage box 300b and is supported between a left side wall 111 and a right side wall 112 inside the cooling compartment 101 .
  • the cover 400 has two operating states: in a first operating state, the cover 400 essentially seals the open top of the storage box 300, while in a second operating state the cover 400 at least partially separated from the perimeter of the storage box 300 held and thus a passage is opened between the storage box 300 and the cover 400, as shown in FIG 8 can be seen.
  • the inclined surface 410 of the lid is kept parallel to the operating surface 210, which slopes downwards and essentially covers the entire inclined surface 410 of the lid, so that the actuator 500 can act perpendicularly through the operating surface 210 on the inclined surface 410 of the lid, to realize better operating effect.
  • Actuation of the actuator 500 by the user acts directly on the lid 400 and raises the lid 400 obliquely rearward to open a passage 900 between the raised lid 400 and the periphery of the storage box 300b.
  • the passage 900 allows the air or moisture to flow between the storage box 300b and the cold room 101 .
  • the user can determine the size of the passage 900 between the lid 400 and the perimeter of the storage box 300b and thus also the flow rate of air or moisture flowing between the storage box 300b and the cold room 101 and in turn finally the humidity inside the storage box 300b change.
  • the user can expect controllable humidity within the storage box 300b.
  • the shelf 200 can be made of a whole, transparent metal sheet or a whole, transparent plate, for example a whole pane of glass, in order to make it more visually appealing.
  • the shelf 200 in the present embodiment consists of a main panel 220 and a frame 230 surrounding the main panel 220 all the way around, with a front section of the frame 230 sloping downwards in a direction facing the front side of the cooling compartment 101 and extending around the operating surface 210 to build.
  • the main panel 220 is made of a transparent glass panel, while the frame 230 and the operation surface 210 are made of plastic, contributing to reduced costs.
  • the actuator 500 acts directly on the cover 400 by a rotary movement in order to open the passage 900 .
  • the actuator 500 comprises a first rotary knob 510 and a second rotary knob 520, with the first rotary knob 510 being arranged on the control surface 210 and the second rotary knob 520 being arranged under the control surface 210, with a first connecting column 511 of the first rotary knob 510 being connected to a second Connecting column 521 of the second rotary knob 520 in order to bring the second rotary knob 520 into a rotary motion, whereby a synchronous rotary motion of the first rotary knob 510 located on the control surface 210 and of the second rotary knob 520 located under the control surface 210 can be made possible.
  • the first connection pillar 511 is attached to the second connection pillar via a fixing part, with the first connection pillar 511 being firmly connected to the second connection pillar 521, for example by screwing a screw into a screw hole penetrating the first connection pillar 511 and the second connection pillar 521.
  • the second rotary knob 520 has a control shaft 522 and a first rail 420 is provided on the inclined surface 410 of the cover, as can be seen from FIG 8 results.
  • the second rotary knob 520 causes the control shaft 522 to rotate in order to move the control shaft 522 in the first rail 420 and thereby act directly on a rail wall of the first rail 420, so that the cover 400 leaves the storage box 300 and opens the passage 900 .
  • the second rotary knob 520 has a second rail 523 and the operating surface 210 has on its underside a stop column 250 that protrudes into the second rail 523, with the interaction of the second rail 523 and the stop column 250 limiting the angle of rotation of the second rotary knob 520.
  • a rail wall of the second rail 523 has a plurality of latching points 524, it being possible for the second rotary knob 520 to be held in a predetermined rotational position by latching the stop column 250 in one of the latching points 524 in each case.
  • the stop column 250 can also snap into a corresponding snap-in point 524 when the second rotary knob is rotated by a very small angle, in order to hold the second rotary knob 520 in a rotary position after a rotary movement to keep a very small angle.
  • the actuator 500 when the actuator 500 is operated, the user can arbitrarily rotate the first rotary knob 510 slowly to gradually open the passage 900 between the lid 400 and the periphery of the storage box 300b so that the Flow rate of the passage 900 can be changed by gradually turning the first rotary knob 510 .
  • teeth 525 are provided in a further embodiment on a rail wall of the second rail 523, whereby the interaction of the teeth 525 and the stop column 250 allows the second rotary knob 520 to be held in a predetermined rotary position.
  • the teeth 525 on the rail wall of the second rail 523 and the stopper column 250 abut each other to keep the second rail 523 still.
  • the user can turn the second rotary knob 520 in order to hold it in any rotary position within the range of rotation angles.
