[0051] refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 In the illustrated embodiments, in some optional implementations, at the position where the upper trim strip 121 contacts the body 110, the upper trim strip 121 forms an upper groove, and the body 110 forms an upper convex ridge. The upper groove and the upper convex ridge engage to fix the upper trim strip 121 to the top of the body 110. At the position where the lower trim strip 131 contacts the body 110, the lower trim strip 131 forms a lower groove, and the body 110 forms a lower convex ridge. The lower groove and the lower convex ridge engage to fix the lower trim strip 131 to the bottom of the body 110. It can be understood that in other implementations, the body 110 forms an upper groove and a lower groove, and the upper trim strip 121 and the lower trim strip 131 respectively form an upper convex ridge and a lower convex ridge. In some optional implementations, the upper trim strip 121 and the lower trim strip 131 each have screw holes in the length direction corresponding to the positions of the body 110, and are additionally fixed by screws.

[0052] Since the sliding door 112 mainly contacts and rubs against the guide strip 137 during operation, the guide strip 137 can be made of POM material to improve its service life, while the upper slide strip 123 and the lower slide strip 133 can be made of ordinary plastic material to save costs.

[0053] In some alternative embodiments, the upper slide rail 120 further includes two upper stops 125, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the upper trim strip 121 and are partially or completely inserted into the upper slide rail 120. The lower slide rail 130 further includes two lower stops 135, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the lower trim strip 131 and are partially or completely inserted into the lower trim strip 131. The two upper stops 125 and the two lower stops 135 are each abutted and fixed to the transverse sidewall of the main body 110 or to the inner stop strip 140 provided in the recess. It is understood that when the upper slide rail 120 or the lower slide rail 130 is installed at the corresponding position on the main body 110, the upper stop block 125 or the lower stop block 135 abuts and is fixed to the main body 110 on the side without the inner stop strip 140; on the side with the inner stop strip 140, after the sliding door 112 is installed, the upper stop block 125 and the lower stop block 135 are respectively installed into the upper slide rail 120 and the lower slide rail 130, and abut and are fixed to the installed inner stop strip 140.

[0054] In some alternative embodiments, the storage module 100 for the refrigeration device further includes at least one first outer trim strip 142, each first outer trim strip 142 being disposed on the same side as an inner baffle 140 and partially or completely covering the inner baffle 140 on the outside of the body 110. The first outer trim strip 142 has a flange extending from the opening toward the inside of the body 110 and partially or completely covering the inner baffle 140 on the inside of the body 110, the first outer trim strip 142 being used to secure the inner baffle 140 to the body 110.

[0055] refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 In the illustrated embodiment, the first outer trim strip 142 is disposed on the same side as the inner baffle strip 140 and simultaneously contacts both the interior trim strip and the main body 110, thereby fixing both the first outer trim strip 142 and the inner baffle strip 140 to the main body 110. (Reference) Figure 7 It is understood that the first outer trim strip 142 also forms a fixed structure with the main body 110, and the inner baffle 140, the first outer trim strip 142, and the main body 110 overlap each other, strengthening the fixing effect. The first outer trim strip 142 also serves to prevent the sliding door 112 from sliding off the sliding surface. In some optional embodiments, the first outer trim strip 142 and the main body 110 are also provided with corresponding screw holes for additional fixing with screws. In some preferred embodiments, the first outer trim strip 142 completely covers the inner baffle 140 in appearance, making the storage module 100 of the refrigeration device more aesthetically pleasing.
