[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional modifications made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be understood that terms such as "upper," "lower," "outer," and "inner," used herein to indicate spatial relative position, are for illustrative purposes to describe the relationship of one unit or feature relative to another unit or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings. The terms "spatial relative position" may be intended to include different orientations of the equipment in use or operation other than those shown in the figures.

[0030] The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or otherwise), and the spatially related descriptive terms used herein shall be interpreted accordingly. For ease of description, in the present invention, when the refrigerator is in normal use, the direction facing the ground is downward, and the direction away from the ground is upward; the direction parallel to the ground is horizontal, and the direction perpendicular to the ground is vertical; the side closer to the user is the front side, and the side farther from the user is the rear side.

[0031] refer to Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a refrigerator drawer, which is slidably mounted on the inner liner of the refrigerator by means of rollers and placed in the storage compartment inside the refrigerator.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a refrigerator drawer includes a drawer body 10 and a drawer panel 20. In this embodiment, the drawer body 10 and the drawer panel 20 are snap-fitted together, which facilitates the assembly of the drawer body 10 and the drawer panel 20, and also facilitates later maintenance and replacement.

[0033] Reference Figure 2As shown, the drawer body 10 includes a bottom wall 11 and two side walls 13 arranged opposite each other on the left and right sides. A front opening 15 is formed at the front ends of the bottom wall 11 and the two side walls 13. In this embodiment, the drawer body 10 is manufactured using a one-piece molding method, and the space between the bottom wall 11 and the two side walls 13 constitutes a space for accommodating items. Furthermore, the front opening 15 reduces the manufacturing difficulty when the drawer body 10 is manufactured using a one-piece molding method.

[0034] The drawer panel 20 is fitted into the front opening 15. In this embodiment, the drawer panel 20 is detachably installed in the front opening 15. To enhance the overall quality of the refrigerator drawer and facilitate the user's observation of the items stored inside the drawer through the drawer panel 20, the drawer panel 20 may be made of a transparent material.

[0035] Furthermore, the drawer panel 20 has a side mounting portion 21 connecting to the corresponding side wall 13 and a lower mounting portion 23 cooperating with the bottom wall 11. In this embodiment, the lower mounting portion 23 is disposed at the lower end of the drawer panel 20, abutting against the front end of the bottom wall 11. After the lower mounting portion 23 and the bottom wall 11 cooperate with each other, they provide vertical positioning, thereby limiting vertical displacement between the drawer body 10 and the drawer panel 20. The side mounting portions 21 are symmetrically disposed at the left and right ends of the drawer panel 20. After being snapped together with the front end of the corresponding side wall 13, they provide front-back fixation, thereby limiting vertical and left-right displacement between the drawer body 10 and the drawer panel 20.

[0036] Furthermore, the refrigerator drawer also includes a side trim strip 30 connecting the side wall 13 and the drawer panel 20 and matching the side mounting part 21, and a lower trim strip 40 fixing the bottom wall 11 and the drawer panel 20 and matching the lower mounting part 21. In this embodiment, the side trim strip 30 is connected to the side wall 13 and the drawer panel 20 by snap-fit, which facilitates installation and also facilitates later maintenance and replacement. The lower trim strip 40 fixes the bottom wall 11 and the drawer panel 20 together and is detachable from the bottom wall 11 and the drawer panel 20, which facilitates installation and also facilitates later maintenance and replacement. The side trim strip 30 and the lower trim strip 40, on the one hand, increase the connection strength between the drawer panel 20 and the drawer body 10; on the other hand, they can cover the connecting snap-fit ​​between the drawer panel 20 and the drawer body 10, preventing dust or stains from seeping into the connecting snap-fit, thus improving the texture of the refrigerator drawer.

[0037] Furthermore, both the side trim strip 30 and the lower trim strip 40 abut against the side of the drawer panel 20 opposite to the drawer body 10, thereby limiting the separation between the drawer body 10 and the drawer panel 20. In this embodiment, the opposite ends of the side trim strip 30 are respectively snapped to the side mounting portion 21 and the side wall 13, thereby achieving that the opposite ends abut against the outer sides of the side mounting portion 21 and the side wall 13, limiting the separation between the side mounting portion 21 and the side wall 13. The opposite ends of the lower trim strip 40 are respectively limited to abut against the outer sides of the lower mounting portion 23 and the bottom wall 11, limiting the separation between the lower mounting portion 23 and the bottom wall 11.

[0038] After the drawer panel 20 is positioned by the lower mounting part 23 and the bottom wall 11, it is fixedly connected to the side wall 13 by the side mounting part 21. The side trim strip 30 and the lower trim strip 40 are used to further enhance the connection strength between the drawer body 10 and the drawer panel 20, so as to avoid loosening after long-term use and ensure that the refrigerator drawer can be used normally.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the bottom wall 11 has a bottom wall body 11a and a lower mating part 11b connected to the front end of the bottom wall body 11a and abutting against the lower mounting part 23. In this embodiment, the bottom wall body 11a adopts a flat plate structure, and the lower mating part 11b is disposed at the front end of the bottom wall body 11a and protrudes forward and downward from the front end of the bottom wall body 11a for matching and mating with the lower mounting part 23. The lower mating part 11b facilitates the positioning and installation of the lower mounting part 23 and the bottom wall 11, and after the drawer panel 20 is connected to the drawer body 10, it restricts the vertical offset between the lower mounting part 23 and the lower mating part 11b.

[0040] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lower trim strip 40 has a first lower buckle 41 that cooperates with the lower mounting portion 23 and a second lower buckle 43 that cooperates with the lower docking portion 11b. In this embodiment, the lower trim strip 40 extends in the left-right direction, the first lower buckle 41 is positioned at the front of the lower mounting portion 23, and the second lower buckle 43 is positioned at the rear of the lower docking portion 11b.

[0041] Specifically, the first lower latch 41 and the second lower latch 43 are disposed opposite each other in the front-back direction on the outer sides of the lower mounting portion 23 and the lower docking portion 11b, so as to limit the lower docking portion 11b and the lower mounting portion 23 from moving away from each other. In this embodiment, the first lower latch 41 and the second lower latch 43 are connected by a connecting wall, so that the lower trim strip 40 can abut against the lower mounting portion 23 and the lower docking portion 11b together, avoiding the front-back and vertical displacement between the lower mounting portion 23 and the lower docking portion 11b. Moreover, the aforementioned connecting wall covers the outer sides of the lower mounting portion 23 and the lower docking portion 11b, preventing the docking point of the lower mounting portion 23 and the lower docking portion 11b from being affected by external factors, thus improving the texture of the refrigerator drawer.

[0042] Furthermore, the lower docking portion 11b extends in the left-right direction and has a first lower docking wall 11b1 that abuts against the lower mounting portion 23, and a second lower docking wall 11b2 that connects to the first lower docking wall 11b1 and protrudes from the first lower docking wall 11b1 toward the lower mounting portion 23. The lower mounting portion 23 has a first lower mounting surface 23a that abuts against the lower docking portion 11b and a first lower mounting groove 23b that is disposed on the first lower mounting surface 23a and matches the second lower docking wall 11b2.

[0043] In this embodiment, the lower trim strip 40 holds the first lower mounting surface 23a against the first lower mating wall 11b1, and after the second lower mating wall 11b2 is matched and set in the first lower mounting groove 23b, it restricts the front-to-back and vertical offset between the lower mounting part 23 and the lower mating part 11b, thereby restricting the front-to-back and vertical offset between the drawer panel 20 and the drawer body 10.

[0044] Specifically, the lower mounting part 23 also has a second lower mounting surface 23c that is opposite to the first lower mounting surface 23a, and a second lower mounting groove 23d that is disposed on the second lower mounting surface 23c and matches the first lower buckle 41. The lower docking part 11b also has a third lower docking wall 11b3 that is connected to the side of the first lower docking wall 11b1 that is opposite to the second lower docking wall 11b2. The second lower buckle 43 is matched and disposed between the bottom wall body 11a and the third lower docking wall 11b3.

[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the first lower clip 41 is set to a "P" shape to match the second lower mounting groove 23d, thus facilitating the installation and removal of the lower trim strip 40 from the lower mounting part 23. The cross-sectional shape of the second lower clip 43 is set to a "7" shape, which makes it difficult to detach the lower trim strip 40 from the lower mating part 11b. Therefore, when installing the lower trim strip 40, the user can first insert the second lower clip 43 between the bottom wall body 11a and the third lower mating wall 11b3, and then push the first lower clip 41 into the second lower mounting groove 23d. This facilitates the installation of the lower trim strip 40 while increasing the connection strength between the lower trim strip 40 and the drawer body 10 and the drawer panel 20, making it less likely for the lower trim strip 40 to detach from the refrigerator drawer.

[0046] Furthermore, in conjunction with reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the sidewall 13 has a sidewall body 13a and a side mating portion 13b connected to the front end of the sidewall body 13a and cooperating with the side mounting portion 21. In this embodiment, the sidewall body 13a adopts a flat plate structure, and the side mating portion 13b is disposed at the front end of the sidewall body 13a and protrudes forward from the front end of the sidewall body 13a for matching and mating with the side mounting portion 21.

[0047] Specifically, the side mounting portion 21 has a side mounting wall 21a extending in the front-rear direction and a side mounting buckle 21b disposed on the side mounting wall 21a. The side mating portion 13b has a side positioning groove 13b1 that matches the side mounting wall 21a and a first side engaging groove 13b2 disposed on the groove wall of the side positioning groove 13b1 and matching the side mounting buckle 21b.

[0048] In this embodiment, the side mounting part 21 is positioned within the side positioning groove 13b1 of the side docking part 13b using the side mounting wall 21a. This facilitates the installation of the side mounting part 21 and the side docking part 13b while also limiting the lateral offset that occurs after the side mounting part 21 and the side docking part 13b are docked. The side mounting part 21 also uses the side mounting buckle 21b to snap into the first side engaging groove 13b2 of the side docking part 13b, achieving a detachable connection between the side mounting part 21 and the side docking part 13b, and further limiting the front-back and vertical offset that occurs after the side mounting part 21 and the side docking part 13b are docked.

[0049] Furthermore, the side mounting portion 21 also has a side positioning block 21c disposed on the side mounting wall 21a and extending in a direction away from the front opening 15. In this embodiment, the thickness of the side positioning block 21c in the left-right direction is greater than the width of the side positioning groove 13b1 in the left-right direction, and the thickness of the side mounting wall 21a in the left-right direction is less than the width of the side positioning groove 13b1 in the left-right direction, thereby ensuring that the side mounting wall 21a can extend into the side positioning groove 13b1, while the side positioning block 21c cannot extend into the side positioning groove 13b1. In this way, when the side mounting portion 21 and the side docking portion 13b are docked, the accurate length of the side mounting wall 21a extending into the side positioning groove 13b1 is ensured, thereby ensuring the ready docking of the side mounting buckle 21b with the first side engaging groove 13b2.

[0050] Furthermore, the side positioning block 21c has a first positioning part 21c1 that abuts against the opening of the side positioning groove 13b1, and a second positioning part 21c2 that connects to the first positioning part 21c1 and is inclined away from the drawer body 10 from the first positioning part 21c1. The side docking part 13b also has a side limiting block 13b3 that is disposed on the side positioning groove 13b1 and matches the second positioning part 21c2.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second positioning part 21c2 and the side limiting block 13b3 are configured with a matching beveled structure, which facilitates positioning when the side mounting part 21 and the side mating part 13b are mated, and facilitates the positioning and installation of the drawer body 10 and the drawer panel 20. Moreover, as Figure 7 As shown, after the drawer panel 20 is installed, the side mating part 13b provides vertical support for the side mounting part 21, preventing the drawer panel 20 from detaching from the drawer body 10 after long-term use, thus ensuring the normal use of the refrigerator drawer.

[0052] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the side trim strip 30 has a side trim main plate 30a extending in the front-back direction and at least covering the outer side of the side mounting wall 21a, and a first side latch 30b and a second side latch 30c connected to the side trim main plate 30a and arranged opposite to each other in the front-back direction. In this embodiment, the side trim main plate 30a can cover the outer side of the side mounting part 21 and the side mating part 13b, preventing the mating point of the two from being affected by the external environment. The arrangement of the first side latch 30b and the second side latch 30c restricts the side mounting part 21 and the side mating part 13b from moving away from each other, thereby locking the drawer panel 20 and the drawer body 10 and preventing front-back displacement.

[0053] Specifically, the side mounting portion 21 further includes a second side engaging groove 21d disposed on the side mounting wall 21a and matching the first side buckle 30b, and a side clearance opening 21e disposed on the side mounting wall 21a and matching the second side buckle 30c. The side mating portion 13b further includes a third engaging groove 13b4 disposed on the side positioning groove 13b1 and matching the second side buckle 30c. In this embodiment, the first side buckle 30b of the side trim 30 is matched and disposed within the second side engaging groove 21d, and the second side buckle 30c is matched and disposed within the third engaging groove 13b4, thereby achieving the fixed installation of the side trim 30. The side clearance opening 21e ensures that after the second side buckle 30c mates with the third engaging groove 13b4, there is no interference between the second side buckle 30c and the side mounting wall 21a.

[0054] Furthermore, the second side engaging groove 21d and the side mounting buckle 21b are disposed opposite to each other at the front and rear ends of the side mounting wall 21a. The third engaging groove 13b4 and the first side engaging groove 13b2 are both disposed on the side of the side positioning groove 13b1 facing away from the opening of the side positioning groove 13b1. In this embodiment, the second side engaging groove 21d and the side mounting buckle 21b are disposed opposite to each other, thus being reasonably arranged on the side mounting wall 21a, which facilitates the manufacturing of the side mounting part 21. Similarly, the third engaging groove 13b4 and the first side engaging groove 13b2 are reasonably arranged on the side positioning groove 13b1, which facilitates the manufacturing of the side mating part 13b.

[0055] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, the entire side mating part 13b is inclined in the front-to-back direction and from front to back. After the drawer panel 20 is installed, the gravity on the drawer panel 20 is decomposed into horizontal backward and vertical downward components. In this way, the vertical interaction force between the drawer panel 20 and the drawer body 10 is reduced.

[0056] Furthermore, the side trim strip 30 also has a third side buckle 30d and a fourth side buckle 30e that are connected to the side trim main board 30a and are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. The side mating part 13b also has a fourth snap-fit ​​groove 13b5 that is disposed on the side positioning groove 13b1 and matches the third side buckle 30d, and a fifth snap-fit ​​groove 13b6 that is disposed on the side positioning groove 13b1 and matches the fourth side buckle 30e. In this embodiment, after the third side buckle 30d mates with the fourth snap-fit ​​groove 13b5 and the fourth side buckle 30e mates with the fifth snap-fit ​​groove 13b6, the vertical displacement between the side trim strip 30 and the drawer body 10 is restricted, thus better fixing the side trim strip 30 to the refrigerator drawer.

[0057] Furthermore, in conjunction with reference Figure 9As shown, the drawer panel 20 also has a panel body 25 connecting to the opposite side mounting portion 21, and a handle portion 27 connecting the panel body 25 and the lower mounting portion 23. In this embodiment, the handle portion 27 is provided to facilitate the user to pull out the refrigerator drawer, and the drawer panel 20 is manufactured by one-piece molding to form the handle portion 27.

[0058] Furthermore, the side trim strip 30 also includes a first side trim panel 30f that connects to the side trim main board 30a and covers the upper side of the side mounting wall 21a; a second side trim panel 30g that connects to the side trim main board 30a and covers the front side of the side mounting wall 21a; a third side trim panel 30h that connects to the side trim main board 30a and covers the lower side of the side mounting wall 21a; a fourth side trim panel 30i that connects to the side trim main board 30a and covers the lower side of the lower mounting portion 23; and a fifth side trim panel 30j that connects to the side trim main board 30a and is connected to the third side trim panel 30h and the fourth side trim panel 30i. The first side buckle 30b is disposed on the second side trim panel 30g, the third side buckle 30d is disposed on the first side trim panel 30f, and the fourth side buckle 30e is disposed on the fourth side trim panel 30i. In this embodiment, the multiple side trim panels effectively conceal the connecting buckles between the side mounting portion 21 and the side mating portion 13b, enhancing the aesthetics of the refrigerator drawer.

[0059] Furthermore, the side trim strip 30 is made of a paint-free material. In this embodiment, the side trim strip 30 is injection molded from a paint-free material containing added metal powder, giving the side trim strip 30 a metallic sheen after molding, thus eliminating the need to spray decorative paint onto the side trim strip 30. This also makes the side trim strip 30 more aesthetically pleasing and elegant, enhancing the product's perceived quality.

[0060] Furthermore, the side trim strip 30 also has a first blocking notch 30k disposed on the first side trim panel 30f and located at the connection between the first side trim panel 30f and the second side trim panel 30g, and a second blocking notch 30l disposed on the third side trim panel 30h and located at the connection between the second side trim panel 30g and the third side trim panel 30h. In this embodiment, the first blocking notch 30k prevents the convergence of material flow at the connection between the first side trim panel 30f and the second side trim panel 30g during the molding of the side trim strip 30, avoiding the accumulation and precipitation of metal powder in the material flow, weakening the weld lines generated by the injection molding of the paint-free material, and eliminating appearance defects. Similarly, the second blocking notch 30l prevents weld lines from being generated at the connection between the second side trim panel 30g and the third side trim panel 30h.

[0061] Furthermore, in conjunction with reference Figure 10As shown, the end of the panel body 25 has a first filling block 25a that matches the first blocking notch 30k and a second filling block 25b that matches the second blocking notch 30l. In this embodiment, when the drawer panel 20 is injection molded, the first filling blocks 25a that match the first blocking notch 30k extend from both sides of the upper end of the panel body 25. This prevents debris or particles from falling into the first blocking notch 30k during use, and also serves to position the side trim 30 and the drawer panel 20 during installation, as well as increase the connection strength between the two during use.
