The toggle 402 is subjected to force through the third opening 603 to drive the ear 401 to move inward or outward, and the switch protrusion 422 is fixed to different positions of the front and rear of the extension part 312 of the fixing cover 301 after passing through the fourth opening 604 to realize the conversion of the storage state and the use state of the telescopic ear unit 400. In this application, "inside" and "outside" are based on the inside and outside of the door lining 110. The inner surface of the door lining 110 is the surface of the door lining 110 that is closer to the front panel of the door body 101, and the outer surface of the door lining 110 is the surface of the door lining 110 that is away from the front panel of the door body 101, and is also the surface that is in the user's line of sight after the door body 101 is opened. "Moving inward" refers to moving toward the side where the inner surface of the door lining 110 is located, and "moving outward" refers to moving toward the side where the outer surface of the door lining 110 is located. Figure 3 and Figure 4 For example, a first opening 601 is provided in the left-right direction on the left side wall 113, and the extension portion 312 is formed by extending leftward from the inner side of the cover portion 311 along the circumference of the second opening 602. For the bottle holder mounting assembly 200 on the left side wall 113, the toggle member 402 is forced to move inward, i.e., to the left, or outward, i.e., to the right, through the third opening 603 to drive the hanging ear 401 to move inward, i.e., to the left, or outward, i.e., to the right.

[0057] The door body 101 of the refrigerator 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is configured to have a fixed cover 301 including a cover plate portion 311 and an extension portion 312, and the telescopic ear unit 400 is configured to include an ear 401, a toggle member 402 and a first elastic member 403, and the ear 401 is inserted into the second opening 602, a third opening 603 is opened on the appearance wall 411 of the ear 401, and a fourth opening 604 is opened in the top wall of the ear 401 along the up-down direction, and the toggle member 402 is set in the cavity 410 of the ear 401. The top wall of the toggle member 402 is extended upward to form a switch protrusion 422, and the first elastic member 403 is sandwiched between the toggle member 402 and the hanging ear 401, so that the hanging ear 401 can be controlled to move inward or outward only by applying force to the toggle member 402, and the switch protrusion 422 is controlled to pass through the fourth opening 604 and fixed to different positions of the extension part 312 of the fixing cover 301 before and after the extension part 312 is fixed to realize the conversion of the storage state and the use state of the telescopic hanging ear unit 400, so that the structure of the bottle holder installation assembly 200 is simple and easy to adjust. At the same time, the telescopic hanging ear unit 400 sets the toggle member 402 and the first elastic member 403 in the cavity 410 of the hanging ear 401, which ensures the strength of the hanging ear 401, so that the load-bearing performance of the bottle holder installation assembly 200 is better, so as not to affect the load-bearing capacity of the bottle holder 120.

[0058] The bottle holder installation assembly 200 of the door body 101 of the refrigerator 100 of the embodiment of the present invention can be realized by setting two openings at intervals on the top wall of the extension part 312 of the fixed cover 301, passing the switch protrusion 422 through the fourth opening 604 and fitting in different openings of the top wall of the extension part 312 to limit the switch protrusion 422.
