However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0030] See also Figure 1 The refrigerator in one embodiment includes a box body and at least two box door assemblies 10. The at least two box door assemblies 10 are respectively cover-mounted on the box body in an openable and closable manner, thereby facilitating the use of the box body. Specifically, the box door assembly 10 includes a door panel 100 and a handle structure 200. The handle structure 200 is disposed on one side of the door panel 100. The door panel 100 is conveniently pulled by the handle structure 200, thereby realizing the opening and closing movement of the box door assembly 10 in the box body.

[0031] The handle structure 200 includes a handle body 210 and an anti-pinch member 220. The handle body 210 is mounted on one side of the door panel 100. A handle groove 212 is formed on the surface of the handle body 210 facing away from the door panel 100. The handle groove 212 runs through the two opposite ends of the handle body 210. The anti-pinch member 220 is disposed in the handle groove 212. The anti-pinch member 220 is located on one end of the handle body 210 close to another adjacent door assembly 10.

[0032] When the above-mentioned door assembly 10 is in use, the handle body 210 is arranged on one side of the door panel 100, and a handle groove 212 is formed on the side of the handle body 210 facing away from the door panel 100. The handle groove 212 runs through the two opposite ends of the handle body 210, so that the user can put his hand into the handle groove 212 and then pull the door panel 100 by pulling the handle body 210. At the same time, since the handle groove 212 runs through the two opposite ends of the handle body 210, the hand is easily clamped between two adjacent door assemblies 10. Further, the anti-pinch member 220 is arranged in the handle groove 212. Since the anti-pinch member 220 is located at one end of the handle body 210 close to another adjacent door assembly 10. The anti-pinch member 220 is utilized to effectively fill the handle groove 212 near one end of another adjacent door assembly 10, so that when the user is in use, the hand cannot exert force at the position of the anti-pinch member 220, thereby effectively preventing the user from placing the hand on the handle body 210 near one end of another adjacent door assembly 10, thereby preventing the hand from being pinched between two adjacent door assemblies 10, thereby improving the safety of use.

[0033] In one embodiment, the surface of the anti-pinch member 220 facing away from the door panel 100 is the anti-pinch surface 222, and the minimum distance between the surface of the handle body 210 where the handle groove 212 is formed and the anti-pinch surface 222 is 0mm-6mm. When the door assembly 10 is covered on the box body, the anti-pinch member 220 can be effectively hidden in the handle groove 212, thereby making the door assembly 10 neater and more beautiful. At the same time, it is prevented that the anti-pinch surface 222 protrudes out of the handle groove 212, which is easy to be damaged, or affects the neatness and beauty of the door assembly 10. The minimum distance between the surface of the handle body 210 where the handle groove 212 is formed and the anti-pinch surface 222 is set to 0mm-6mm, which avoids setting the distance too large, which makes it easy for the hand to apply force at this distance, thereby failing to effectively prevent the hand from being pinched.

[0034] Specifically, the anti-pinch surface 222 includes a transition surface 221 and an abutting surface 223 connected to the transition surface 221. The abutting surface 223 is arranged close to another adjacent door assembly 10, and the distance between the surface of the handle body 210 formed with the handle groove 212 and the transition surface 221 tends to decrease toward the direction close to another adjacent door assembly 10. When in use, since the hand needs to be put into the handle groove 212 to apply force, since the distance between the surface of the handle body 210 formed with the handle groove 212 and the transition surface 221 tends to decrease toward the direction close to another adjacent door assembly 10, the transition surface 221 can effectively protect the hand from being injured by the position of the transition surface 221, and the abutting surface 223 effectively prevents the hand from applying force at the anti-pinch member 220.

[0035] Optionally, the distance between the surface of the handle body 210 where the handle groove 212 is formed and the abutting surface 223 is 0 mm-6 mm. This allows the abutting surface 223 to be effectively hidden in the handle groove 212, preventing the abutting surface 223 from protruding out of the handle groove 212 and affecting the appearance or being damaged. At the same time, it is prevented that the distance between the surface of the handle body 210 where the handle groove 212 is formed and the abutting surface 223 is too large, which affects the effect of avoiding the force applied at the abutting surface 223.

[0036] In this embodiment, the transition surface 221 smoothly transitions to the abutment surface 223. When in use, since the transition surface 221 smoothly transitions to the abutment surface 223, it is prevented that the anti-pinch surface 222 has corners that may hurt the hand, further improving the user's experience.

[0037] In this embodiment, the anti-pinch member 220 is a hollow structure. Setting the anti-pinch member 220 as a hollow structure can effectively reduce material waste, reduce costs, and facilitate the formation of the anti-pinch surface 222. In other embodiments, the anti-pinch member 220 can also be a solid structure as long as the anti-pinch surface 222 can be effectively formed.

[0038] In one embodiment, the handle structure 200 further includes a positioning member 230, and the positioning member 230 includes a positioning portion 231 and a positioning column 232 disposed on the positioning portion 231. A positioning hole is provided on the anti-clip member 220, and a mounting hole connected to the handle groove 212 is provided on the handle body 210. The positioning portion 231 is provided on the side of the handle body 210 facing away from the anti-clip member 220, and the positioning column 232 passes through the mounting hole and is inserted into the positioning hole. By providing the positioning member 230, it is further convenient to position and install the anti-clip member 220 in the handle groove 212, and by the cooperation of the positioning column 232 with the positioning hole and the mounting hole, the stability of the anti-clip member 220 in the handle groove 212 is improved, and the convenience of installation is improved.

[0039] Specifically, there are at least two positioning posts 232, and at least two positioning posts 232 are disposed at intervals on the positioning portion 231. The number of positioning holes and mounting holes matches the number of positioning posts 232. Each positioning post 232 can pass through a mounting hole and be disposed in a positioning hole.

[0040] In other embodiments, the positioning column 232 can also be directly formed in the handle groove 212, and the positioning column 232 is directly inserted into the positioning hole of the anti-clip member 220. Alternatively, the positioning column 232 is directly formed on the anti-clip member 220, and the positioning column 232 can be inserted into the mounting hole of the handle body 210, as long as the effect of positioning the anti-clip member 220 on the handle body 210 can be achieved.

[0041] In one embodiment, the handle structure 200 further includes a fastener 240. A first connection hole is formed on the positioning portion 231, and a second connection hole that can communicate with the first connection hole is formed on the anti-clamping member 220. The fastener 240 is inserted into the first connection hole and the second connection hole. The anti-clamping member 220 is effectively fixed to the handle body 210 by inserting the fastener 240 into the first connection hole and the second connection hole.

[0042] In this embodiment, the fastener 240 is a rivet. Of course, the fastener 240 can also be a fastener 240 such as a screw. Alternatively, the fastener 240 can also be omitted, and the positioning portion 231 is directly attached to the handle body 210.

[0043] Please also read Figure 2 In one embodiment, the door assembly 10 further includes an end cover 300, which is disposed on the side adjacent to the door panel 100 and the handle body 210, and the anti-pinch member 220 can be placed on the end cover 300 and installed on the handle body 210. The end cover 300 can provide support for the installation of the door panel 100, the handle body 210 and the anti-pinch member 220, and can effectively protect the door panel 100 and the anti-pinch member 220.

[0044] Specifically, a positioning groove 310 is formed on the side of the end cover 300 facing the door panel 100 , and the positioning portion 231 can be further inserted into the positioning groove 310 , and then the positioning portion 231 cooperates with the positioning groove 310 to achieve positioning and installation of the handle body 210 on the end cover 300 .

[0045] Optionally, a limiting portion 320 is further formed on the side of the end cover 300 facing the door panel 100. When the handle body 210 is installed on one side of the door panel 100, the limiting portion 320 can abut against the side of the handle body 210 facing away from the anti-pinch member 220. The limiting portion 320 can effectively limit the installation position of the handle body 210 and the end cover 300, thereby limiting the installation position of the handle body 210 and the door panel 100, thereby improving installation efficiency and installation stability.

[0046] In one embodiment, the positioning member 230 further includes a fixing portion 234 disposed on the positioning portion 231, a first fixing hole 235 is formed on the fixing portion 234, and a fixing column 330 is formed on the side of the end cover 300 facing the door panel 100, and the fixing column 330 can be installed in the first fixing hole 235. Through the cooperation between the fixing column 330 on the end cover 300 and the first fixing hole 235, the positioning member 230 is effectively installed on the end cover 300, and then the positioning member 230 is used to realize the positioning and installation between the end cover 300, the handle body 210 and the anti-pinch member 220, which effectively improves the installation efficiency and installation stability. In other embodiments, the fixing portion 234 can be omitted.

[0047] Specifically, the fixing column 330 is provided with a second fixing hole 332, and the fastening screw can be inserted into the second fixing hole 332, thereby fixing the fixing portion 234 to the fixing column 330, thereby achieving the installation of the positioning member 230 on the end cover 300. Optionally, the second fixing hole 332 can also be omitted, and the fixing column 330 can also be directly fixed in the first fixing hole 235.

[0048] In one embodiment, the door panel 100 is a glass panel, and the convenient handle body 210 and the end cover 300 are disposed on two adjacent sides of the glass panel. In other embodiments, the door panel 100 may also be a panel made of other materials.

[0049] In this embodiment, the spacing between two adjacent door assemblies 10 is 10mm-13.5mm, and thus, when in use, the hand is easily caught in the gap between the two adjacent door assemblies 10. The anti-clip member 220 is arranged in the handle groove 212 of the handle body 210, and is close to another adjacent door assembly 10. The anti-clip member 220 can prevent the hand from applying force at a position close to the handle groove 212 of another door assembly 10, effectively preventing the hand from being caught in the gap between the two adjacent door assemblies 10, and improving the safety of use. When the door assembly 10 is covered on the box body, the anti-clip member 220 is effectively hidden in the handle groove 212, ensuring the overall neatness and aesthetics of the refrigerator.

[0050] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
