[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a drawer, which includes a drawer body 200 and a slide rail assembly 100 disposed at the bottom of the drawer body 200. The slide rail assembly 100 includes an upper rail 1, a middle rail 2 and a bottom rail 3 arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0044] Furthermore, the front end of the upper rail 1 is provided with a first limiting member 4, which includes an upwardly extending insert plate 401. The bottom surface of the front end of the drawer body 200 is provided with an insertion hole, and the insert plate 401 is inserted into the insertion hole. The rear end of the upper rail 1 is provided with a second limiting member 5, which includes a hook 501. The side of the rear end of the drawer body 200 is provided with a hanging hole, and the hook 501 extends into the hanging hole. The bottom surface of the front end of the drawer body 200 is also provided with a latch 300 that is rotatably connected to it. The latch 300 can be rotated to the bottom of the upper rail 1.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figures 5 to 9As shown, the upper rail 1 defines a first cavity 101, and the upper rail 1 has a first opening 102 that communicates with the first cavity 101; the bottom rail 3 defines a second cavity 301, and the bottom rail 3 has a second opening 302 that communicates with the second cavity 301; the first opening 102 and the second opening 302 are arranged opposite to each other; the middle rail 2 includes a first bent portion 201, a transition portion 202 and a second bent portion 203 connected in sequence, which together form a sliding cavity 204; the first bent portion 201 is inserted into the first cavity 101 from the first opening 102, and the second bent portion 203 is inserted into the second cavity 301 from the second opening 302.

[0046] Furthermore, a first bracket 6 is provided between the first bent portion 201 and the upper rail 1 to separate the two.
