[0046] The following refers to Figures 1 to 10 to describe the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features, that is, including one or more of such features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "a plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined. When a certain feature "includes or contains" a certain or certain features it covers, unless otherwise specifically described, this indicates that other features are not excluded and other features may be further included.

[0047] Unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, terms such as "installation", "connection", "coupling", "fixing", "coupling", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components, unless otherwise clearly limited. Those of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention according to specific circumstances.

[0048] In addition, in the description of this embodiment, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features not being in direct contact but being in contact through additional features therebetween. That is, in the description of this embodiment, the first feature being "above", "over", and "on" the second feature includes the first feature being directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicating that the first feature is at a higher horizontal height than the second feature. The first feature being "below", "beneath", or "under" the second feature may be that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicating that the first feature is at a lower horizontal height than the second feature.

[0049] In the description of this embodiment, the description of reference terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "schematic embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples", etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic descriptions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0050] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the inner side structure of the door body when the installation member of the refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention is in the first posture; Figure 3 is Figure 2 a schematic diagram of the structure shown when the installation member is switched to the second posture. In each drawing of the present invention, the x - direction is the lateral direction of the door body 10 and the door liner 11, the y - direction is the thickness direction of the door body 10, and the z - direction is the vertical direction, that is, the up - and - down direction.

[0051] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention generally includes a door body 10 and at least one installation member 12.

[0052] The door body 10 is installed on the front side of the refrigerator cabinet and is used to open and close the storage compartment defined by the cabinet. Each refrigerator may have one or more door bodies 10, and multiple door bodies 10 can be arranged on the front side of the cabinet in various ways. One or more bottle holders 50 are installed on the inner side of the door body 10 (i.e., the side facing the inside of the cabinet when the door body 10 is in the closed state) for placing items, such as placing bottle-shaped objects. The bottle holder 50 is generally a box-shaped structure with an open upper side.

[0053] At least one mounting member 12 is used to carry the bottle holder 50 of the refrigerator. That is to say, the bottle holder 50 is directly connected to the mounting member 12, and the mounting member 12 provides a bearing force to the bottle holder 50 to overcome its gravity. Moreover, each mounting member 12 is configured to be able to be installed on the inner side of the door body 10 in various postures, so as to adjust the position of the bottle holder 50 by changing its mounting posture. That is to say, the bottle holder 50 is connected to a preset mounting part of the mounting member 12. When the mounting posture of the mounting member 12 changes, the position of this preset mounting part will inevitably change, resulting in a change in the position where the bottle holder 50 is installed. For example Figure 2 shows the mounting posture where the mounting member 12 is at a higher position, Figure 3 shows the mounting posture where the mounting member 12 is at a lower position.

[0054] In this way, the bottle holder can be adjusted to a more appropriate position to achieve an optimized layout of the space inside the door body. For example, when it is necessary to place a taller item on a bottle holder A, the position of the bottle holder B above the bottle holder A can be raised, or it can be horizontally moved away from above the bottle holder A and moved to the upper oblique side of A to make space for the taller item, without having to take the bottle holder B above out of the refrigerator. In the embodiment of the present invention, the position of the bottle holder is adjusted by changing the posture of the mounting member 12, and there is no need to open more mounting holes or set more mounting members on the door body to obtain more mounting positions, making the inner appearance of the door body 10 more concise and beautiful.

[0055] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the mounting member installed on the door body in the first posture; Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the mounting member installed on the door body in the second posture. Figure 6 is Figure 4 exploded schematic diagram of; Figure 7 is Figure 6 schematic diagram of the structure shown after the mounting member is flipped by a certain angle; Figure 8 is Figure 4 schematic cross-sectional view of; Figure 9 is Figure 5 exploded schematic diagram of the structure shown after the mounting member is flipped by a certain angle; Figure 10 is Figure 5 schematic cross-sectional view of.

[0056] In some embodiments, such asFigure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting member 12 has two postures, namely the first posture and the second posture. When the mounting member 12 is in the first posture ( Figure 2 、 Figure 4 ), the bottle holder 50 is at a higher position; when the mounting member 12 is in the second posture ( Figure 3 、 Figure 5 ), the bottle holder 50 is at a lower position.

[0057] Next, the structure of the refrigerator in this embodiment will be introduced in detail through Figures 6 to 10 .

[0058] Please first refer to Figures 6 to 8 . The door body 10 has an upper mounting portion 131. Correspondingly, each mounting member 12 has a first mounting portion 121, a second mounting portion 122, and a bearing portion 123 for carrying the bottle holder 50. The mounting member 12 is configured to be in a first posture in which the first mounting portion 121 is connected to the upper mounting portion 131 and the second mounting portion 122 is located below the first mounting portion 121 (such as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figures 6 - 8 ); or in a second posture in which the second mounting portion 122 is connected to the upper mounting portion 131 and the first mounting portion 121 is located below the second mounting portion 122 (such as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 ). Moreover, compared with the first posture, when the mounting member 12 is in the second posture, the height position of the bearing portion 123 is lower. In this way, the height position of the bearing portion 123 can be changed by adjusting the mounting member 12 to the first posture or the second posture, thereby changing the height position of the bottle holder 50.

[0059] In this embodiment, the bearing portion 123 has two height gears in this way, and the structural design is very simple and ingenious. When the user adjusts the height, only need to remove the mounting member 12, turn it 180° and then reinstall it, the operation is very simple and easy to learn, and the user experience is relatively high.

[0060] Furthermore, the door body 10 may further have a lower mounting portion 132, which is located below the upper mounting portion 131. When the mounting member 12 is in the first posture, the second mounting portion 122 is connected to the lower mounting portion 132; when the mounting member 12 is in the second posture, the first mounting portion 121 is connected to the lower mounting portion 132. The mounting member 12 is mounted on the door body 10 through two mounting portions, which can make the position of the mounting member 12 more stable, and thus make the position of the bottle holder 50 more firm.

[0061] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the door body 10 may include a door shell (not shown), a door lining 11 and an embedded part 13. The door shell constitutes the external appearance of the door body 10, and the door lining 11 is arranged on the inner side of the door shell to constitute the inner appearance of the door body 10. A foaming layer (not shown) is provided between the door lining 11 and the door shell to make the thermal insulation performance of the door body 10 better. The embedded part 13 is fixed in the foaming layer and can be directly connected to the door shell or the door lining 11. It is preferred that the embedded part body 130 is a sheet metal part so that it is fixed to the door lining 11.

[0062] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the embedded part 13 is formed with the aforementioned upper clamping part 131 and lower clamping part 132, and the door lining 11 is provided with a clearance hole 111 for allowing the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 122 to pass through. After the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 122 pass through the clearance hole 111, they are connected with the upper clamping part 131 and the lower clamping part 132.

[0063] In this embodiment, the upper clamping part 131 and the lower clamping part 132 are formed by the embedded part 13, so as to avoid complicated molding process of the door lining 11. Because the door lining 11 cannot be formed into a complicated structure by a simple process (such as adsorption process).

[0064] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the embedded part 13 may include an embedded part body 130, an upper clamping part 131 and a lower clamping part 132. The surface of the embedded part body 130 facing the door lining 11 is recessed inward (recessed toward the negative direction of the x-axis) to form a vertical strip-shaped cavity 133. The upper clamping part 131 and the lower clamping part 132 are both in the shape of horizontal strips (along the y-axis direction), and both start from the bottom wall 1331 of the cavity 133, extend horizontally outward (in the positive direction of the x-axis), and then bend upward (similar to an "L" shape) to allow the first mounting part 121 and the second mounting part 122 to be hung thereon, and disassembly and assembly are very simple.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 8 Each mounting member 12 includes a plate body 120, a bearing portion 123, a first mounting portion 121 and a second mounting portion 122. The plate body 120 extends vertically as a whole. The first mounting portion 121 and the second mounting portion 122 both include a connecting plate 1211 and a clamping plate 1212. The connecting plate 1211 extends from a side surface of the plate body 120 facing the embedded part 13. The clamping plate 1212 is in the shape of a vertical bar, and its vertical central portion is connected to the connecting plate 1211 to be clamped on the inner side of the upper clamping portion 131 or the lower clamping portion 132. That is, the first mounting portion 121 and the second mounting portion 122 are both "T"-shaped structures.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present invention, the structures of the upper clamping part 131, the lower clamping part 132, the first installation part 121 and the second installation part 122 are specially designed, so that the installation member 12 can be conveniently clamped inside the door body 10, with very stable structure and very convenient disassembly.

[0067] As Figure 6 and Figure 8 shown, the bearing part 123 is in a convex shape protruding from the other side surface of the plate body 120 (the side without the first installation part 121) for matching the vertical slot opened on the side wall of the bottle holder 50, so as to bear the bottle holder 50. The vertical slot of the bottle holder 50 has a notch with a certain orientation. The bottle holder 50 moves from top to bottom, so that the bearing part 123 is inserted into the vertical slot.

[0068] As Figure 6 shown, an inwardly concave recessed part 113 for allowing the plate body 120 to be embedded is formed on the inner surface of the door liner 11. The relief hole 111 is opened on the recessed part 113. In this way, after the installation member 12 is installed, the plate body 120 is fitted in the recessed part 113, avoiding protruding from the inner surface of the door liner 11 and causing the surface of the door liner 11 to be uneven.

[0069] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 10 shown, the number of the foregoing at least one installation member 12 can be made even. Two installation members 12 are matched with one bottle holder 50. Every two installation members 12 are arranged along the transverse direction (x direction) of the door body 10 and are symmetric about the vertical plane to respectively bear the two transverse side walls of the bottle holder 50.

[0070] In some alternative embodiments, one installation member 12 can also be matched with one bottle holder 50. Just set the installation member 12 on the rear wall 118 of the door liner 11 and make it have sufficient width to stably support the bottle holder 50.

[0071] In the above embodiments of the present invention, the height coordinate (z direction) of the bottle holder is changed by changing the installation attitude of the installation member. It can be understood that the coordinate of the bottle holder in the transverse direction of the door body (x direction) can also be changed by changing the installation attitude of the installation member, and the specific structure will not be elaborated here.

[0072] So far, those skilled in the art should recognize that although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail herein, many variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the present invention can still be directly determined or derived from the disclosed content of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and determined to cover all these other variations or modifications.
