Drawer component and refrigerator with same

Abstract

The invention discloses a drawer component, which comprises a drawer, a slide rail and a self-closing device, wherein the upper surface of the bottom wall of the slide rail is provided with a concave part; the self-closing device comprises a gear box, a first roller, a second roller, first to fourth gears, a transmission gear and an elastic member; when the second roller is positioned outside the concave part, the first roller is separated from the upper surface of the bottom wall of the slide rail; when the second roller is positioned in the concave part, the first roller is in contact with the upper surface of the bottom wall of the slide rail; the firth to fourth gears are rotatablely arranged in the gear box; the transmission gear is rotatablely arranged in the gear box; when the second roller is positioned in a front section of the concave part, the first roller rotates in a first direction and energy is accumulated by the elastic member; and when the second roller is positioned in a rear section of the concave part, the elastic member is used for driving the first roller to roll in the first direction. The drawer component according to the invention has an automatic door closing and locking function. The invention also discloses a refrigerator.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a drawer assembly and a refrigerator having the same. Background technique [0002] In a traditional refrigerator with a pull-out door, in order to ensure that the door can be closed tightly, a gentle plane is usually designed at the ends of the two side walls of the box, and the separation of the drawer's gravity makes it slide inward to achieve the purpose of closing the door. However, when the door is opened, the drawer will be raised slightly, which requires increasing the door spacing to ensure that there will be no interference between the doors. The larger door spacing not only affects the appearance of the refrigerator, but also increases the design difficulty. The door closing force generated by the slope at the end of the rail is relatively weak and is easily offset by the friction force, resulting in failure to close the door and poor practicability.
