It should be noted that, on the premise of no conflict, the following-described embodiments or technical features can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a drainable upper end cap for a refrigerator door body, including an upper end cap body 110 provided at the top end of the refrigerator door body. The upper end cap body 110 includes a top end cap 111; among them,

[0046] The top end cap 111 is provided with a drain groove 1111, and a drain port 11111 is provided on one side of the drain groove 1111;

[0047] The water flowing on the outer surface of the top end cap 111 flows into the drain groove 1111 and is discharged from the drain port 11111.

[0048] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown, it further includes a closing cap 112. The closing cap 112 is fixed to the top of the top end cap 111 to close the drain groove to prevent dust accumulation in the drain groove. Further, the bottom surface of the drain groove 1111 is in the shape of a slope, gradually becoming lower along the direction towards the drain port 1111, and the drain port 11111 is located on the side where the low end of the slope is located, so as to guide the water to be discharged from the drain port 11111.

[0049] The top cover 111 and the closing cover 112 are connected by a number of screws. The closing cover 112 is provided with a number of second through holes 1122, and the top cover 111 is provided with a number of threaded holes 1116 corresponding to the second through holes 1122. The bottoms of the threaded holes 1116 are closed. The number of threaded holes 1116 and the number of second through holes 1122 correspond to each other one by one for the screws to pass through for screw connection.

[0050] The top cover 111 is provided with a first groove 1112 and a second groove 1113 for placing electrical components; a drain groove 1111 and a second groove 1113 are respectively arranged in the first groove 1112, and a drain port 11111 is arranged on the side wall of the first groove 1112; the closing cover 112 covers the first groove 1112, and the closing cover 112 seals the first groove 1112, leaving a notch at the position corresponding to the drain port 11111 for the drain groove 1111 to drain water.

[0051] The outer wall of the second groove 1113 corresponding to the inner area of the first groove 1112 extends upward to form a diversion cavity 1114 between the inner wall of the first groove 1112; the diversion cavity 1114 is connected to the drain groove 1111;

[0052] At least one screw connection part between the top cover 111 and the closing cover 112 corresponds to the diversion cavity 1114, so that the water on the outer wall of the top cover 111 enters the diversion cavity 1114 from the screw connection part and then flows into the drain groove 1111.

[0053] As Figure 2 shown, the first threaded hole 11161 located in the diversion cavity 1114 is a common threaded hole, and the second threaded hole 11162 located in the second groove 1113 for accommodating electrical components can be a threaded hole made of a micro-expansion material or waterproof treatment is carried out in the threaded hole, so that after the screw is screwed into the second threaded hole 11162, the screw and the second threaded hole 11162 form a sealed connection structure, and the water on the outer wall of the upper cover body 110 will not fall into the second groove 1113, but will only specifically fall into the diversion cavity 1114 for diversion and drainage to achieve effective and safe drainage.

[0054] The upper cover body 110 is provided with a first through hole 11151 for pivotally connecting to the refrigerator cabinet; the drain port 11111 faces the first through hole 11151, and the drain port 11111 is close to the pivot connection part of the refrigerator door body and the refrigerator cabinet, facilitating the water discharged from the drain port 11111 to fall from the side wall or door seal of the door body near the pivot connection part of the refrigerator door body and the refrigerator cabinet.

[0055] The top cover 111 is provided with a diversion platform 1115 corresponding to the drain outlet 11111. The height of the diversion platform 1115 is lower than the bottom of the drain outlet 11111, so that the water accumulated in the drain groove 1111 is discharged along the drain outlet 11111 onto the diversion platform 1115, and then falls along the side wall of the door body or the door seal near the diversion platform 1115.

[0056] The first through hole 11151 is arranged on the diversion platform 1115. That is, the drain groove 1111 and the diversion platform 1115 are close to the pivoting joint of the refrigerator door body and the refrigerator cabinet body. It falls along the side wall of the door body or the door seal near the diversion platform 1115, and the drainage route is hidden and safe, without affecting the user experience.

[0057] One side wall of the second groove 1113 coincides with one side wall of the first groove 1112 to increase the space of the second groove 1113 for accommodating electrical components. Such as Figure 2 shown, the second groove 1113 is rectangular, and three outer walls form a diversion cavity 1114 with the inner area of the first groove 1112, and one side wall coincides with one side of the first groove 1112.

[0058] The inner wall of the first groove 1112 is provided with a mounting platform 11121 for placing the closing cover 112, so that the outer surface of the closing cover 112 is flush with the outer surface of the top cover 111. That is, one surface of the closing cover 112 fits on the mounting platform 11121, the side wall of the closing cover 112 located in the first groove 1112 fits with the inner wall of the first groove 1112, and the outer surface of the closing cover 112 is flush with the outer surface of the top cover 111, so that the upper surface of the upper cover body 110 is flat and beautiful.

[0059] Such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, the inner surface of the closing cover 112 is provided with a diversion protrusion 1121, and the diversion protrusion 1121 is provided with a diversion groove 11211; the diversion protrusion 1121 corresponds to the diversion cavity 1114 to guide water to flow into the drain groove 1111 along the diversion cavity 1114.

[0060] In one embodiment, one end of the diversion protrusion 1121 is connected to the outer wall of the second through hole 1122 that is far from the drain groove 1111 and corresponds to the diversion cavity 1114, so as to guide the water on the outer surface of the closing cover 112 to leave preferentially from the connection part of the closing cover 112 and the second through hole 1122 that is far from the drain groove and corresponds to the diversion cavity 1114, and then flow to the drain groove 1111 along the diversion cavity 1114 to dredge the water flow, so as to prevent too much water from accumulating on the surface of the top cover 111. Such as Figure 2 、 Figure 5 shown, the drain groove 1111 is close to the pivoting joint of the refrigerator door body and the refrigerator cabinet body, and the second through hole 1122 that is far from the drain groove 1111 and corresponds to the diversion cavity 1114 and the drain groove 1111 are respectively located on both sides of the second groove 1113.

[0061] The diversion protrusion 1121 extends into the diversion cavity 1114 and does not contact the bottom surface of the diversion cavity 1114, leaving a space for water to flow along the diversion cavity 1114. Since the water accumulated on the upper end cover 110 will not be in a large amount, and the screw connection between the top cover 111 and the closed cover 112 is relatively tight, the water will enter the first threaded hole 11161 in the diversion cavity 1114 in the form of water droplets or fine water flows along the screw connection between the top cover 111 and the closed cover 112. The water overflows from the first threaded hole 11161 and, under the pushing action of its own gravity, enters the drainage groove 1111 along the diversion groove 11211 provided on the diversion protrusion 1121 for drainage. Due to the diversion effect of the diversion groove 11211, the water is easily diverted along the diversion groove 11211, and the water on the upper end cover body 110 easily flows downward from the second through hole 1122 connected to the diversion protrusion 1121, and then enters the corresponding area of the diversion cavity 1114 corresponding to the second through hole 1122. Further, for the sake of clear explanation, as Figure 2 、 Figure 5 shown, the first diversion cavity 11141 is far from the drainage groove 1111, the third diversion cavity 11143 is close to the drainage groove 1111, and the second diversion cavity 11142 is located between the first diversion cavity 11141 and the third diversion cavity 11143. The water easily flows in from the second through hole 1122 connected to the diversion protrusion 1121 and flows through the first diversion cavity 11141, the second diversion cavity 11142, and the third diversion cavity 11143 in sequence along the diversion groove 11211, and finally flows into the drainage groove 1111.

[0062] The diversion protrusion 1121 is provided with a bent extension part 11212 to block the water in the diversion cavity 1114 from entering the threaded hole 1116 located in the diversion cavity 1114 and close to the drainage groove 1111. That is, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, the two first threaded holes 11161 in the third diversion cavity 11143 close to the drainage groove 1111 are partially blocked by the extension part 11212 from the drainage groove 1111. If there is water accumulation on the surface of the third diversion cavity 11143, the water will flow to the lower place, that is, flow into the drainage groove 1111. Even if there is too much water accumulation on the surface of the third diversion cavity 11143, due to the partial blockage of the extension part 11212 and the different sizes of the spaces on both sides of the extension part 11212, the water accumulation on the surface of the third diversion cavity 11143 is not easy to flow to the two first threaded holes 11161, but directly flows into the drainage groove 1111; if the water on the outer surface of the upper end cover body 110 flows into the two first threaded holes 11161 in the third diversion cavity 11143 and overflows, since there is still a gap between the extension part 11212 and the surface of the third diversion cavity 11143, the water flows through this gap and flows to the drainage groove 1111 to achieve drainage.

[0063] Inside the drain trough 1111, near the drain opening 11111, there are first baffles 11112 and second baffles 11113 with intersecting positions, which achieve two - stage blocking of the water flow to slow down the drainage speed and drainage volume of the drain opening 11111, so that the water flowing to the diversion platform 1115 can smoothly fall to the side wall or door seal of the door body, to avoid the water discharged from the drain opening 11111 accumulating on the surface of the diversion platform 1115.

[0064] As Figure 3 shown, one end of the closing cover 112 is provided with a bent portion 1123 to seal the abutting portion between one end of the closing cover 112 and the upper surface of the top cover 111, so as to improve the waterproof performance of the upper end cover body 110. Since the closing cover 112 is provided with the bent portion 1123, which is bent and closely attached to an outer wall of the top cover 111, the height of the side wall of the first groove 1112 near the bent portion 1123 of the top cover 111 does not exceed the height of the installation table 11121 and can support one end of the closing cover 112.
