[0055] like Figure 1 17 is a refrigerator according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which mainly includes a cabinet and a drawer unit.

[0056] The box body includes an outer shell and an inner liner 100 arranged in the outer shell. A filling space is formed between the outer shell and the inner liner 100, and the foaming material foams in the filling space to form a heat-insulating foam layer.

[0057] The drawer unit includes fixed rails 200, a base, and a drawer assembly. The fixed rails 200 are symmetrically located on the two lateral inner walls of the inner container 100. The base is removably mounted on the top wall of the inner container 100, with side rails on either side, forming two side-by-side mounting locations with the fixed rails.

[0058] The drawer assembly includes a half-width ice tray 500, a half-width drawer 600, and a full-width drawer 700. In actual use, the user can select a combination of the half-width ice tray 500 and the half-width drawer 600, or select the full-width drawer 700.

[0059] The half-width ice tray 500 and the half-width drawer 600 are provided with slide rails on both sides. When the base is installed, the slide rails of the two cooperate with the fixed guide rails 200 and the side guide rails 410 respectively, so that the half-width ice tray 500 and the half-width drawer 600 are arranged side by side horizontally.

[0060] Slide rails are provided on both sides of the full-width drawer 700. When the base is removed, the slide rails cooperate with the fixed guide rails 200.

[0061] The present application proposes to set a detachable base on the top wall of the inner tank 100, and to form two drawer installation positions by setting side rails on the base to cooperate with the fixed rails 200 on both sides, so as to allow users to install a half-width ice cube tray 500 and a half-width drawer 600 combination; when the base is removed, a full-width drawer 700 can be installed to meet the different usage needs of users.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 -17, the base includes a mounting base 300 and a bracket 400.

[0063] See also Figure 5 -6. The outer top wall of the liner 100 is provided with a mounting cavity 110, and the bottom wall is provided with a first connecting portion 111 and a through hole 112. The first connecting portion 111 is preferably a latch hole. The liner 100 is a structure with an expansion mold and a movable punch.

[0064] See also Figure 7 -9. The bottom of the mounting base 300 is provided with a second connecting portion 310 that mates with the first connecting portion 111. When the first connecting portion 111 is a latch hole, the second connecting portion 310 is a self-locking buckle with a W-shaped cross-section. During actual installation, simply press the buckle into the latch hole to complete the installation. This is simple to operate. After installation, the mounting base 300 is located within the filler space.

[0065] For further information, see Figure 6 The edge of the mounting cavity 110 and the top of the inner container 100 have the same inclination trend. Positioning portions 330 are respectively provided on both sides of the mounting seat 300. The positioning portions 330 are preferably inclined side wings, which overlap the edges of the two sides of the mounting cavity 110 to cooperate with the positioning. The specific cooperation state is as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0066] Furthermore, the top of the mounting base 300 is provided with a foam layer cavity 350, which is equipped with crisscrossing reinforcing ribs 360, forming a lattice-like structure. During foaming, the foam material penetrates into the foam layer cavity 350, which helps to increase the bonding area between the mounting base 300 and the insulation foam layer, thereby greatly enhancing the installation stability of the mounting base 300.

[0067] The bottom of the mounting base 300 is also provided with a first mounting portion 320. The first mounting portion 320 is preferably composed of a plurality of sliders, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the mounting base 300 to form a slide groove and arranged in two axially symmetrical rows. The arrangement of the through-holes 112 corresponds to the sliders, which extend from the through-holes 112 into the interior of the liner 100 and mate with the bracket 400 for installation. In the actual design, the slider at the front end has an L-shaped cross-section, with reinforcing ribs on the back and bottom. The slider at the rear end may also have a rear side, without reinforcing ribs, and instead has a beveled, self-locking side buckle 321 on its back that engages with the through-hole for locking.

[0068] See also Figure 10 -12. The top of the bracket 400 is provided with a second mounting portion 420 that is removably connected to the first mounting portion 320. When the first mounting portion 320 is a slider, the second mounting portion 420 is a mounting rail that mates with the slider. During assembly and disassembly, the mounting rail slides within the slider's groove, thereby pushing or pulling the bracket 400 in and out. Furthermore, the mounting rail is provided with a stopper 430 that mates with the slider to limit the distance the mounting rail can slide within the groove formed by the slider. The stopper 430 is preferably a stopper. When the bracket 400 is pushed in a predetermined distance, the stopper contacts the front surface of the slider at the front end, preventing the bracket 400 from moving further. Furthermore, the bottom front end of the mounting base 300 is provided with a first fixing portion 340. A through hole 103 is provided on the inner liner 100 at a position corresponding to the first fixing portion 340. The top front end of the bracket 400 is provided with a corresponding second fixing portion 440 that mates with and secures the first fixing portion 340. The first fixing portion 340 is preferably a screw seat, and the second fixing portion 440 corresponds to a screw (indicated by a screw hole in the figure). When the bracket 400 is pushed in to a predetermined distance, the mounting base 300 and the bracket 400 are locked and fixed by the screw and the screw seat.

[0069] See also Figure 10 -12, side guide rails 410 are respectively provided on both sides of the bracket 400, which are used to form a mounting position with the fixed guide rail 200.

[0070] See also Figure 5 -6, the side wall of the inner container 100 is provided with a guide rail mounting position, the front end of the guide rail mounting position is provided with a positioning hole 101, and the middle and rear ends are provided with a plurality of mounting holes 102. Figure 13 -14. A slideway 201 is axially provided on the front surface of the fixed guide rail 200. A sliding groove 202 is provided on the front bottom wall of the slideway 201, and a retaining protrusion 203 is provided on the top wall corresponding to the sliding groove 202. A mounting clip 210 is provided on the rear surface of the fixed guide rail 200 at a position corresponding to the mounting hole 102, and a positioning screw 220 (represented by a screw hole in the figure) is provided at a position corresponding to the positioning hole 101, thereby securing the fixed guide rail 200 to the side wall of the inner container 100. Accordingly, the side rails 410 of the bracket 400 are grooved slideways with a structure symmetrical to the slideway 201.

[0071] See also Figure 15 A first slide rail 510 is provided on both sides of the half-width ice tray 500, and a first push-in guide 511 is provided at the front end thereof, and a first pull-out guide 512 is provided at the rear end thereof, which cooperates with the slide-in groove 202 and the limiting protrusion 203 to realize the pulling and drawing of the half-width ice tray 500, and limits the half-width ice tray 500 from being directly pulled out of the installation position formed by the fixed guide rail 200 and the side guide rail 410 during normal pulling and use.

[0072] See also Figure 16 A second slide rail 610 is provided on both sides of the half-width drawer 600, with a second push-in guide 611 at the front end and a second pull-out guide 612 at the rear end, which cooperates with the sliding groove 202 and the limiting protrusion 203 to realize the pulling and sliding of the half-width drawer 600, and limits the half-width drawer 600 from being directly pulled out of the installation position formed by the fixed guide rail 200 and the side guide rail 410 during normal pulling and using.

[0073] See also Figure 17 , a third slide rail 710 is provided on both sides of the full-width drawer 700, with a third push-in guide 711 at the front end and a third pull-out guide 712 at the rear end, which cooperates with the sliding groove 202 and the limiting protrusion 203 to realize the pulling and sliding of the full-width drawer 700, and limits the full-width drawer 700 from being directly pulled out of the installation position formed by the fixed guide rails 200 on both sides during normal pulling and using.

[0074] The refrigerator proposed in the present invention has at least the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0075] First, the present application proposes to set a detachable base on the top wall of the inner tank 100, and to form two drawer installation positions by setting side rails on the base to cooperate with the fixed rails 200 on both sides, so as to allow users to install a half-width ice cube tray 500 and a half-width drawer 600 combination; when the base is removed, a full-width drawer 700 can be installed to meet the different usage needs of users.

[0076] Second, this application splits the base into a mounting base 300 and a bracket 400, and uses a snap-on structure to fix the mounting base 300 on the top of the inner liner 100, and uses a sliding buckle, mounting rail, and screw structure to enable the bracket 400 to be detachably installed with the mounting base 300 by sliding and nailing, effectively reducing transportation costs and improving production and assembly efficiency.

[0077] Third, the present application sets an installation cavity 110 on the outer top wall of the inner liner 100, and sets the installation seat 300 in the filling space between the inner liner 100 and the outer shell, so that the bonding area between the installation seat 300 and the insulation foam layer is increased, thereby greatly enhancing the installation stability of the installation seat 300.

[0078] In summary, this application solves the problem of difficult top assembly of the mounting base 300 through the design of expansion mold blister and detachable punch punching box liner 100; solves the problem of difficult fixed assembly of the mounting base 300 and the liner 100 through the innovative design of the self-locking buckle of the mounting base 300; solves the problem of difficult fixed assembly of the bracket 400 through the innovative design of the sliding buckle and guide-shaped slide hanging drawer bracket structure of the mounting base 300; and realizes the same product to meet the user needs of half-width ice cube tray, half-width drawer combination and full-width drawer through the left and right fixed guide rails 200 of the drawer and the middle drawer bracket 400 structure, thereby reducing the product price and cost, improving the product cost performance, and greatly improving the refinement of the product appearance.

[0079] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
