Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to the technical field of storage containers, and in particular, to a storage container for a refrigerator and a refrigerator.
- In refrigeration appliances such as a refrigerator, a storage container is usually provided for users to use. The storage container is arranged to keep stored products in the refrigerator clean and hygienic, and it is also convenient for users to take.
- For example, a door container may be disposed at one side of a door body of the refrigerator facing a chamber, to maximize storage space of the refrigerator.
- According to a location of the storage container and an application scenario, the existing storage container design for the refrigerator mainly includes two categories. The first one is a body structure that can only be used independently, and this body structure is not designed with an additional fixing mechanism to assemble a frame assembly. The second is a body structure with a frame assembly. In actual use, the frame assembly needs to be used in combination with the body structure. The body structure is designed with a fixing mechanism to fix the frame assembly. However, the fixing mechanism may affect an appearance of a product, resulting in the structure of such design unable to be used alone.
- It may be learned from the foregoing that due to a significant difference in the design of the body structure in the two designs, when the manufacturer produces products of the two designs, the body mold cannot be used universally, production operation is extremely complicated, investment in molds is high, and compatibility of the body is poor.
- Embodiments of the present invention are intended to provide an improved storage container for a refrigerator and a refrigerator.
- An embodiment of the present invention provides a storage container for a refrigerator, including: a container body including a receiving cavity, a bottom wall, and a front wall connected to a front side of the bottom wall and extending upward; the front wall including a front raised edge protruding toward the receiving cavity to be engaged with at least one decoration member extending along the front wall.
- The container body of the storage container provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be used in conjunction with the decoration member, or may be used alone, facilitating improvement of compatibility of the container body of a manufacturer, reduce investment in body molds, and reduce complexity of production operation. Specifically, since the front raised edge protrudes toward the receiving cavity, when the container body is used alone, the front raised edge will not affect the appearance of the container body. When the container body and the decoration member are used together, the front raised edge may play an effective fixing role to limit relative movement between the decoration member and the container body.
- Optionally, the storage container includes a decoration member, the decoration member having a first slot, the front wall being inserted into the first slot, and the front raised edge being engaged with the decoration member in the first slot. As a result, a junction of the front raised edge and the decoration member is hidden in the first slot, facilitating beautification of the appearance of the storage container provided with the decoration member.
- Optionally, the decoration member includes at least two blocks disposed at an interval in the first slot, a gap existing between the block and a bottom wall of the first slot, and the front raised edge being located between the block and the bottom wall. Therefore, an internal buckling structure is formed through cooperation of the bottom wall and a block, to be securely engaged with the front raised edge, and in a height direction of the container body, up-down movement of the decoration member on the container body may be limited within an allowable error range.
- Optionally, the decoration member includes a back groove wall extending into the container body and a protruding rib extending toward the front wall from the back groove wall, the block being formed by the protruding rib, to increase hardness of the structure.
- Optionally, the decoration member includes at least two protruding ribs disposed at an interval in the first slot, the protruding ribs being adapted to abut against an inner surface of the front wall. Therefore, in a width direction of the container body, front-back movement of the decoration member on the container body may be limited within an allowable error range.
- Optionally, along a direction that the first slot points to a free end of the protruding rib, a side of the protruding rib facing the front wall has a first vertical section, an oblique cross section extending in the direction of the front wall, and a second vertical section in sequence, where the second vertical section abuts against the inner surface of the front wall, and a gap exists between the first vertical section and the inner surface of the front wall. Therefore, when the front-back movement of the decoration member on the container body is restricted through the second vertical section, and the up-down movement of the decoration member on the container body is restricted through the block, a chamfer angle formed by the oblique cross section serves as a guide groove, facilitating reduction of interference between the decoration member and the container body, so that a gap between the protruding rib and a front groove wall of the decoration member is not too small, which facilitates mounting of the decoration member, and can reduce the risk of collision damage.
- Optionally, a length of the second vertical section may be not less than one third of a length of the protruding rib along the direction of a slot opening toward the bottom wall of the first slot, so that a contact area between the protruding rib and the inner surface of the front wall is large enough to ensure a limiting effect in the width direction.
- Optionally, the container body includes a pair of side walls disposed oppositely, the side walls including a side raised edge protruding toward the outside of the receiving cavity to be engaged with a part of the decoration member extending along the side walls. Therefore, when the container body and the decoration member are used together, the side raised edge may play an effective fixing role to limit left-right movement of the decoration member on the container body in a length direction of the container body. Further, since the side raised edge is located on a side wall of the container body, the appearance of the container body may not be affected when used alone.
- Optionally, the part of the decoration member extending along the side wall includes at least one snap structure, the side raised edge being engaged with the snap structure. Therefore, through cooperation of the side raised edge and the snap structure, up-down movement of the decoration member on the container body may be limited in the height direction of the container body.
- Optionally, the part of into the decoration member extending along the side wall has a second slot, the side wall being inserted into the second slot. Therefore, through cooperation of the side wall and the second slot, left-right movement of the decoration member on the container body may be limited in the length direction of the container body.
- Optionally, the part of the decoration member extending along the side wall includes at least one limiting rib, the limiting rib being adapted to abut against an inner surface of the side wall. Therefore, in the length direction of the container body, left-right movement of the decoration member on the container body may be limited within an allowable error range.
- Optionally, the part of the decoration member extending along the side wall of the container body includes an inner side groove wall extending into the receiving cavity, and the limiting rib extends in a direction of the side wall from the inner side groove wall, to ensure the limiting effect on the decoration member in the length direction. In addition, the limiting rib is externally blocked by the inner side groove wall and is invisible to the user during use, which facilitates a nice appearance of the product.
- Optionally, the container body includes a back wall connected to a rear side of the bottom wall and extending upward, the back wall including a rear raised edge protruding toward the outside of the receiving cavity to be engaged with a part of the decoration member extending along the back wall. Therefore, when the container body and the decoration member are used together, the rear raised edge may play an effective fixing role to limit up-down movement of the decoration member on the container body in a height direction of the container body together with the front raised edge. Further, since the rear raised edge is located on a back wall of the container body, the appearance of the container body may not be affected when used alone.
- Optionally, the part of the decoration member extending along the back wall includes at least one snap structure, the rear raised edge being engaged with the snap structure. Therefore, through cooperation of the rear raised edge and the snap structure, up-down movement of the decoration member on the container body may be limited in the height direction of the container body.
- Optionally, the bottom wall of the storage container is fixed to the door body of the refrigerator at a preset angle to use the storage container as a door container. In addition, different preset angles facilitate the formation of storage spaces of different sizes, which can meet the requirements for storage capacity of refrigerators of different sizes.
- An embodiment of the present invention further provides a refrigerator, including: a case body having a chamber, the chamber having an opening; and a door body configured to open or close the opening, where the storage container is fixed in the chamber, and/or the storage container is fixed at one side of the door body facing the case body. The refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the present invention has a storage container, which is convenient for users to separate and store stored products, and the storage container has a beautiful shape and is easy to mount.

Consequently, the body mold cannot be used universally, production operation is extremely complicated, investment in molds is high, and compatibility of the body is poor.
- In order to resolve the foregoing technical problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a storage container for a refrigerator, including: a container body including a receiving cavity, a bottom wall, and a front wall connected to a front side of the bottom wall and extending upward; the front wall including a front raised edge protruding toward the receiving cavity to be engaged with at least one decoration member extending along the front wall.
- The container body of the storage container provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be used in conjunction with the decoration member, or may be used alone, facilitating improvement of compatibility of the container body of a manufacturer, reduce investment in body molds, and reduce complexity of production operation. Specifically, since the front raised edge protrudes toward the receiving cavity, when the container body is used alone, the front raised edge will not affect the appearance of the container body. When the container body and the decoration member are used together, the front raised edge may play an effective fixing role to limit relative movement between the decoration member and the container body.
- In order to make the foregoing objectives, characteristics, and advantages of the present invention clearer and easier to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a storage container for a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention.FIG. 2 is an exploded view of a storage container shown inFIG. 1 ;
For convenience of description, assuming that a length direction of astorage container 100 is a direction x, a width direction of thestorage container 100 is a direction y, and a height direction of thestorage container 100 is a direction z. - Specifically, with reference to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , thestorage container 100 may include: acontainer body 110 including a receivingcavity 111, a bottom wall 112 (seeFIG. 3 ), and afront wall 113 connected to a front side of thebottom wall 112 and extending upward. - Further, the
container body 110 may further include aback wall 115 connected to a rear side of thebottom wall 112 and extending upward. Preferably, thefront wall 113 and theback wall 115 are oppositely disposed. - Further, the
container body 110 may further include a pair ofside walls 116 oppositely disposed. - In one or more embodiments, the
bottom wall 112, thefront wall 113, theback wall 115, and a pair ofside walls 116 enclose the receivingcavity 111. - In a specific implementation, the
front wall 113 may be a wall facing a user when in use. For example, when thestorage container 100 is disposed on a refrigerator door, thefront wall 113 may be a wall facing the user during normal use after the door is opened. For another example, when thestorage container 100 is disposed in a storage compartment of the refrigerator, thefront wall 113 may also be a wall facing the user when the refrigerator door is opened to expose the storage compartment. - In a variation, a rear side of the receiving
chamber 111 may be not closed, that is, thecontainer body 110 may not have aback wall 115. In a specific implementation, a back side of thebottom wall 112 of thecontainer body 110 may be directly mounted onto the refrigerator door. In this case, thebottom wall 112, a pair ofside walls 116, and the refrigerator door enclose the receivingcavity 111. Alternatively, the back side of thebottom wall 112 of thecontainer body 110 may further be directly mounted onto an inner wall of the storage compartment of the refrigerator. In this case, thebottom wall 112, a pair ofside walls 116, and the inner wall of the storage compartment enclose the receivingcavity 111. - Similarly, one of left and right sides of the receiving
cavity 111 along a direction x may not be closed, that is, thecontainer body 110 may only have oneside wall 116. In a specific implementation, the left or right side of thebottom wall 112 of thecontainer body 110 along the direction x may be directly mounted onto the refrigerator door or the inner wall of the storage compartment. - Similarly, the
container body 110 may only have afront wall 113, abottom wall 112, and aside wall 116. In this case, the refrigerator door or walls in two directions of the inner wall of the storage compartment may also be used to form the receivingcavity 111. - More specifically, with reference to
FIG. 1 to FIG. 7 , thefront wall 113 may include a front raisededge 114 protruding toward the receivingcavity 111 to be engaged with at least onedecoration member 120 extending along thefront wall 113. - To this end, the
container body 110 of thestorage container 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be used in conjunction with thedecoration member 120, or may be used alone, facilitating improvement of compatibility of thecontainer body 110 of a manufacturer, reduce investment in body molds, and reduce complexity of production operation. Specifically, since the front raisededge 114 protrudes toward the receivingcavity 111, when thecontainer body 110 is used alone, the front raisededge 114 will not affect the appearance of thecontainer body 110. When thecontainer body 110 and thedecoration member 120 are used together, the front raisededge 114 may play an effective fixing role to limit relative movement between thedecoration member 120 and thecontainer body 110. - In one or more embodiments, with reference to
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 ,FIG. 3 ,FIG. 5 ,FIG. 9 , andFIG. 10 , thestorage container 100 may include thedecoration member 120 having afirst slot 121, thefront wall 113 being inserted into thefirst slot 121, and the front raisededge 114 being engaged with thedecoration member 120 in thefirst slot 121. As a result, a junction of the front raisededge 114 and thedecoration member 120 is hidden in thefirst slot 121, facilitating beautification of the appearance of thestorage container 100 provided with thedecoration member 120. - In one or more embodiments, referring to
FIG. 3 ,FIG. 5 , andFIG. 9 , thedecoration member 120 may include at least twoblocks 122 disposed at an interval in thefirst slot 121, there is a gap between theblock 122 and abottom wall 123 of thefirst slot 121, and the front raisededge 114 is located between theblock 122 and thebottom wall 123. Therefore, an internal buckling structure is formed through cooperation of thebottom wall 123 and ablock 122, to be securely engaged with the front raisededge 114, and in a height direction (that is, a direction z shown in the figure) of thecontainer body 110, up-down movement of thedecoration member 120 on thecontainer body 110 may be limited within an allowable error range. - In one or more embodiments, the
decoration member 120 may include aback groove wall 124 extending into thecontainer body 110 and aprotruding rib 125 extending toward thefront wall 113 from theback groove wall 124, theblock 122 being formed by the protrudingrib 125 to increase hardness of the structure. - For example, referring to
FIG. 10 , six protrudingribs 125 may be disposed at intervals in thefirst slot 121, whereblocks 122 are formed on at least twoprotruding ribs 125. Preferably, theblock 122 may be formed on each of the protrudingribs 125. - In a specific implementation, a quantity of the protruding
ribs 125 and an interval between adjacent protrudingribs 125 may be determined according to a length of thefront wall 113 in the direction x. - Further, a part of the
decoration member 120 extending along thefront wall 113 of thecontainer body 110 may include aback groove wall 124 extending into the receivingcavity 111, afront groove wall 127 located outside the receivingcavity 111, and atop wall 128 connecting theback groove wall 124 and thefront groove wall 127. Further, theback groove wall 124, thefront groove wall 127, and thetop wall 128 enclose afirst slot 121 having a slot opening in a reverse direction of a direction z shown in the figure. - In one or more embodiments, referring to
FIG. 10 , thedecoration member 120 may include at least two protrudingribs 125 disposed at an interval in thefirst slot 121. With reference toFIG. 3 andFIG. 5 , the protrudingribs 125 are adapted to abut against aninner surface 113a of thefront wall 113. Theinner surface 113a of thefront wall 113 is a surface of thefront wall 113 close to the receivingcavity 111. Therefore, in a width direction (that is, a direction y shown in the figure) of thecontainer body 110, front-back movement of thedecoration member 120 on thecontainer body 110 may be limited within an allowable error range. - Further, referring to
FIG. 5 , along the direction that thefirst slot 121 points to afree end 125a of the protrudingrib 125, that is, along a reverse direction of the direction z shown inFIG. 1 , a side of the protrudingrib 125 facing thefront wall 113 has a firstvertical section 135, anoblique cross section 126 extending in the direction of thefront wall 113, and a secondvertical section 136 in sequence. Thefree end 125a is an end of the protrudingrib 125 away from thefirst slot 121 in the direction z, that is, an end that is not connected to atop wall 128 of thedecoration member 120. - Specifically, one end of the first
vertical section 135 in the direction z is connected to thetop wall 128, and the other end of the firstvertical section 135 in the direction z is connected to theoblique cross section 126. One end of theoblique cross section 126 away from thefront wall 113 in the direction z is connected to the firstvertical section 135, and one end of theoblique cross section 126 close to thefront wall 113 in the direction z is connected to the second vertical section 13. One end of the secondvertical section 136 in the direction z is connected to theoblique cross section 126, and the other end of the secondvertical section 136 in the direction z forms afree end 125a of the protrudingrib 125. - Further, the second
vertical section 136 abuts against theinner surface 113a of thefront wall 113, and there is a gap between the firstvertical section 135 and theinner surface 113a of thefront wall 113. - Therefore, when the front-back movement of the
decoration member 120 on thecontainer body 110 is restricted through the secondvertical section 136, and the up-down movement of thedecoration member 120 on thecontainer body 110 is restricted through theblock 122, a chamfer angle formed by theoblique cross section 126 serves as a guide groove, facilitating reduction of interference between thedecoration member 120 and thecontainer body 110, so that a gap between theprotruding rib 125 and afront groove wall 127 of thedecoration member 120 is not too small, which facilitates mounting of thedecoration member 120, and can reduce the risk of collision damage. - Further, the design of the
oblique cross section 126 allows the internal buckling structure formed by theblock 122 and thebottom wall 123 of thefirst slot 121 to be buckled to a lesser extent, which facilitates the assembly of thedecoration member 120 and thecontainer body 110. - In one or more embodiments, a length of the second
vertical section 136 may be not less than one third of a length of the protrudingrib 125 along the direction (that is, the direction z shown in the figure) of a slot opening toward thebottom wall 123 of thefirst slot 121, so that a contact area between theprotruding rib 125 and theinner surface 113a of thefront wall 113 is large enough to ensure a limiting effect in the direction y. - In one or more embodiments, a direction in which the second
vertical section 136 extends may be parallel to the direction z to achieve a better effect of abutting against each other. - Similarly, a direction in which the first
vertical section 135 extends may be parallel to the direction z to achieve a better effect of avoiding interference. - In a variation, the surface of the second
vertical section 136 may have a texture, such as a wave shape, to increase friction. - In one or more embodiments, referring to
FIG. 2 , theside wall 116 may include a side raisededge 117 protruding toward the outside of the receivingcavity 111 to be engaged with a part of thedecoration member 120 extending along theside wall 116. Therefore, when thecontainer body 110 and thedecoration member 120 are used together, the side raisededge 117 may play an effective fixing role to limit left-right movement of thedecoration member 120 on thecontainer body 110 in a length direction (that is, a direction x shown in the figure) of thecontainer body 110. Further, since the side raisededge 117 is located on a side of thecontainer body 110, the appearance of thecontainer body 110 may not be affected when used alone. - For example, for the structure and shape of the side raised
edge 117, reference may be made to the shape and structure shown in a region F inFIG. 6 andFIG. 8 . - Further, referring to
FIG. 2 ,FIG. 10 to FIG. 14 , a part of thedecoration member 120 extending along theside wall 116 may include at least onesnap structure 129, the side raisededge 117 being engaged with thesnap structure 129. Therefore, through cooperation of the side raisededge 117 and thesnap structure 129, up-down movement of thedecoration member 120 on thecontainer body 110 may be limited in the height direction (that is, the direction z shown in the figure) of thecontainer body 110. - For example, for a connection state of the side raised
edge 117 and thesnap structure 129, reference may be made to the connection state shown in a region B inFIG. 3 andFIG. 4 . - For example, assuming that the pair of
side walls 116 are a left side wall and a right side wall, a part of thedecoration member 120 corresponding to the left side wall and a part corresponding to the right side wall are respectively provided with a snap structure, so that thecontainer body 110 and thedecoration member 120 are firmly engaged on the left and right sides in the direction x. - In a specific implementation, a number of the
snap structures 129 provided on a part of thedecoration member 120 extending along eachside wall 116 and an interval therebetween may be adjusted as required. For example, a larger length of thecorresponding side wall 116 in the direction y leads to a larger number of thesnap structures 129 disposed on thedecoration member 120. - In a specific implementation, the number of the
snap structures 129 provided on thedecoration members 120 corresponding todifferent side walls 116 may be different. - In one or more embodiments, referring to
FIG. 10 , the part of thedecoration member 120 extending along theside wall 116 may have asecond slot 130, theside wall 116 being inserted into thesecond slot 130. Therefore, through cooperation of theside wall 116 and thesecond slot 130, left-right movement of thedecoration member 120 on thecontainer body 110 may be limited in the length direction (that is, the direction x shown in the figure) of thecontainer body 110. - For example, a value of the length of the
second slot 130 extending along the direction y may range from one third to one half of the length of theside wall 116 of thecontainer body 110 along the direction y. - Further, referring to
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 ,FIG. 10, FIG. 11 ,FIG. 12 , andFIG. 15 , the part of thedecoration member 120 extending along theside wall 116 may include at least one limitingrib 131, the limitingrib 131 being adapted to abut against aninner surface 116a of theside wall 116. Theinner surface 116a of theside wall 116 is a surface of theside wall 116 close to the receivingcavity 111. Therefore, in a length direction (that is, a direction x shown in the figure) of thecontainer body 110, left-right movement of thedecoration member 120 on thecontainer body 110 may be limited within an allowable error range. - Further, a part of the
decoration member 120 extending along theside wall 116 of thecontainer body 110 may include an innerside groove wall 132 extending into the receivingcavity 111, an outerside groove wall 133 located outside the receivingcavity 111, and atop wall 128 connecting the innerside groove wall 132 and the outerside groove wall 133. Further, the outerside groove wall 133, the innerside groove wall 132, and thetop wall 128 enclose asecond slot 130 having a slot opening in a reverse direction of a direction z shown in the figure. - Further, the limiting
rib 131 may extend toward theside wall 116 from the innerside groove wall 132. - In one or more embodiments, the
second slot 130 may be closer to thefront wall 113 of thecontainer body 110 than thesnap structure 129. Therefore, the snap structure may be blocked through the limitingrib 131, so that thesnap structure 129 is externally invisible. - Further, the outer
side groove wall 133 may be connected to thefront groove wall 127 to improve an overall appearance of thedecoration member 120 and reduce complexity of a mold. - Further, the inner
side groove wall 132 may be connected to theback groove wall 124 to reduce complexity of the mold. - In one or more embodiments, on the
same side wall 116, widths of a plurality of limitingribs 131 provided in thesecond slot 130 along the direction x may be different. For example, referring toFIG. 10 , in the two limitingribs 131 disposed at an interval along the direction y in the figure, a width of the limitingrib 131 away from thefront wall 113 in the direction x is greater than a width of the limitingrib 131 close to thefront wall 113 along the direction x. As a result, when the storage space of the receivingcavity 111 is increased, it is ensured that the limitingrib 131 can completely cover thesnap structure 129, to optimize the overall appearance of thestorage container 100. - In one or more embodiments, referring to
FIG. 3 ,FIG. 4 ,FIG. 6 , andFIG. 8 , theback wall 115 may include a rear raisededge 118 protruding toward the outside of the receivingcavity 111 to be engaged with a part of thedecoration member 120 extending along theback wall 115. Therefore, when thecontainer body 110 and thedecoration member 120 are used together, the rear raisededge 118 may play an effective fixing role to limit up-down movement of thedecoration member 120 on thecontainer body 110 in a height direction (that is, a direction z shown in the figure) of thecontainer body 110 together with the front raisededge 114 and/or the side raisededge 117. Further, since the rear raisededge 118 is located on theback wall 115 of thecontainer body 110, the appearance of thecontainer body 110 may not be affected when used alone. - Further, referring to
FIG. 11 , a part of thedecoration member 120 extending along theback wall 115 may include at least onesnap structure 129, the rear raisededge 118 being engaged with thesnap structure 129. Therefore, through cooperation of the rear raisededge 118 and thesnap structure 129, up-down movement of thedecoration member 120 on thecontainer body 110 may be limited in the height direction (that is, the direction z shown in the figure) of the container body. - In one or more embodiments, referring to
FIG. 2 andFIG. 16 , thestorage container 100 may further include a fixingportion 140, and the fixingportion 140 may have a U-shaped structure that opens downward, where the downward opening is an opening in a reverse direction of the direction z. - Further, a fitting portion (not shown) may be provided on the refrigerator door of the refrigerator or the inner wall of the storage compartment, the fitting portion is coupled to the fixing
portion 140 to fix thestorage container 100 onto the refrigerator door or the inner wall of the storage compartment. - In one or more embodiments, the part of the
decoration member 120 extending along theback wall 115 may also have arear groove wall 134 extending into a side of therear wall 115 close to the receivingcavity 111. Therear groove wall 134 extends outside the receivingcavity 111 to form thesnap structure 129. - Further, the
rear groove wall 134 may be connected to the innerside groove wall 132. - In one or more embodiments, the side raised
edge 117 and the rear raisededge 118 may be connected. - In a typical application scenario, when the
storage container 100 is fixed onto a door body of the refrigerator, thestorage container 100 may be a door container. - Further, a
bottom wall 112 of thestorage container 100 may be fixed to the door body of the refrigerator at a preset angle. Preferably, the preset angle may be 90°. In a specific implementation, the preset angle may be flexibly adjusted according to storage requirements of stored products. - In one or more embodiments, the
storage container 100 may be a bottle rack structure. -
