[0033] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any modifications to the mechanisms, methods, or functions made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Terms used herein to denote relative spatial positions, such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are used for ease of explanation to describe the relationship of one feature relative to another, as shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that, depending on the placement of the product, these terms may be intended to encompass orientations other than those depicted in the drawings and should not be construed as limitations on the claims. Furthermore, the descriptor "horizontal" as used herein does not necessarily mean perpendicular to gravity, although a certain degree of tilt is permitted.

[0035] An embodiment of the present invention provides a built-in refrigerator. The built-in refrigerator (hereinafter referred to as refrigerator) can be embedded in a cabinet for use.

[0036] The built-in refrigerator includes a box body, a compartment formed in the box body, and a mechanism for opening and closing the compartment. Figure 1 The door body 10 shown. For the convenience of explanation, Figure 1 The X-axis direction is the width direction of the door body 10, which can also be understood as the horizontal direction; the Y-axis direction is the front-to-back direction, which can also be understood as the thickness direction of the door body 10; the Z-axis direction is the height direction of the door body 10, which can also be understood as the up-down direction.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the door body 10 includes an outer door body 1 and an inner door body 2 arranged along the front-to-back direction, and a decorative cover 3 provided on the side of the door body 10. When the door body 10 is connected to the box body, the outer door body 1 is located on the side of the inner door body 2 away from the box body, and is connected to the inner door body 2. The relative position between the outer door body 1 and the inner door body 2 can be adjusted. The decorative cover 3 is used to cover the assembly gap between the outer door body 1 and the inner door body 2 to ensure the neat and simple appearance of the door body 10. The above-mentioned "side of the door body 10" should be understood as the side in the width direction of the door body 10 or the side in the height direction of the door body 10. The inner door body 2 is filled with foam material, which plays a role in heat insulation for the compartment. The appearance style of the outer door body 1 is consistent with the appearance style of the cabinet, so that the built-in refrigerator and the cabinet have a unified and harmonious visual effect.

[0038] like Figure 2-10 As shown, the decorative cover 3 includes a first plate 31 and a second plate 32. The outer door body 1 is provided with a socket 13. The first plate 31 is inserted into the socket 13 to connect with the outer door body 1. When the first plate 31 is inserted into the socket 13, the position of the decorative cover 3 relative to the outer door body 1 in the front-to-back direction is defined. The second plate 32 extends rearward from the first plate 31 and covers the side of the inner door body.

[0039] The door body 10 also includes a snap-fit ​​structure provided between the inner door body 2 and the second plate body 32 to connect the two. On the basis of the first plate body 31 being connected to the outer door body, after the second plate body 32 and the inner door body 2 are snap-fitted together, the connection between the decorative cover 3 and the door body 10 is more reliable. The snap-fit ​​structure includes a door body snap-fit ​​structure 5 and a decorative cover snap-fit ​​structure 4 provided on the inner door body 2 and the second plate body 32, respectively. The decorative cover snap-fit ​​structure 4 is movable in the front-to-back direction relative to the door body snap-fit ​​structure 5. As explained above, the position of the decorative cover 3 relative to the outer door body 1 in the front-to-back direction has been limited. The decorative cover snap-fit ​​structure 4 is movable in the front-to-back direction relative to the door body snap-fit ​​structure 5, so that the inner door body 2 can be movable in the front-to-back direction relative to the decorative cover 3. In this way, when the decorative cover 3 is connected to the outer door body 1 and the inner door body 2, the outer door body 1 can be adjusted relative to the inner door body 2 in the front-to-back direction.

[0040] The decorative cover clamping structure 4 and the decorative cover 3 are integrally formed and made of metal materials such as aluminum alloy to have sufficient structural strength.

[0041] Furthermore, the decorative cover engaging structure 4 moves relative to the door body engaging structure 5 along the length of the decorative cover 3 to engage with the door body engaging structure 5, thereby facilitating installation of the decorative cover 3 at the side of the door. The door body engaging structure 5 includes a stopper for limiting movement of the decorative cover engaging structure 4 relative to the door body engaging structure 5 along the length of the decorative cover 3. When the decorative cover engaging structure 4 moves to a certain position relative to the door body engaging structure 5, the stopper defines the position of the decorative cover engaging structure 4, preventing further movement of the decorative cover engaging structure 4. Thus, the position of the decorative cover 3 is also limited.

[0042] The decorative cover 3 is provided on the side of the door body 10 that is easily visible to the user. For the side of the door body 10 that is not easily visible to the user, the decorative cover 3 may not be provided.

[0043] In one embodiment of the door body 10 of the present invention, the decorative cover 3 includes two first decorative covers 34, one located on either side of the width of the door body 10. The first decorative covers 34 extend along the height of the door body 10 to cover the widthwise sides of the door body 10. For ease of description, the door body 10 of this embodiment may be referred to as the first door body 101.

[0044] In another embodiment of the door body 10 of the present invention, the decorative cover 3 includes two first decorative covers 34 respectively provided on both sides of the door body 10 in the width direction, and a second decorative cover 35 provided on one side of the door body 10 in the height direction. The first decorative covers 34 extend along the height direction of the door body 10 to cover the side edges of the door body 10 in the width direction, and the second decorative cover 35 extends along the width direction of the door body 10 to cover the side edges of the door body 10 in the height direction. For convenience of description, the door body 10 of this embodiment may be referred to as the second door body 102.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the built-in refrigerator is a four-door refrigerator, which includes the two first doors 101 and the two second doors 102 (such as Figure 7 ). The two first door bodies 101 are located above the two second door bodies 102 and arranged in the transverse direction. Correspondingly, the two second door bodies 102 are located below the two first door bodies 101 and arranged in the transverse direction.

[0046] When the built-in refrigerator is in use, the upper and lower sides of the first door body 101 are not easily seen by the user. Therefore, the upper and lower sides of the first door body 101 are not provided with decorative covers 3. The lower side of the second door body 102 is not easily seen by the user. Therefore, in the second door body 102, the second decorative cover 35 is located on the upper side of the second door body 102, and the lower side of the second door body 102 is not provided with a decorative cover 3.

[0047] In other embodiments of the present invention, the built-in refrigerator may also be in other forms, such as a double-door refrigerator, and the position of the decorative cover 3 may also be changed according to the different settings of the door body 10, which is not specifically limited here.

[0048] The clamping structure includes a first door clamping structure and a first decorative cover clamping structure respectively provided on the inner door body 2 and the second plate 32 of the first decorative cover 34. The length direction of the first decorative cover 34 is the height direction of the door body 10.

[0049] The first decorative cover snap-in structure includes an insertion strip 411 located on the side of the second plate 32 of the first decorative cover 34 close to the inner door body 2, a connecting portion 412 connecting the second plate 32 of the first decorative cover 34 and the insertion strip 411, the insertion strip 411 includes a snap-in portion 4111 extending beyond the connecting portion 412 along the length direction of the first decorative cover 34, the first door body snap-in structure includes a first snap-in wall 511 and a second snap-in wall 512 spaced apart along the width direction of the door body 10, a connecting wall 513 connecting the first snap-in wall 511 and the second snap-in wall 512, and a first snap-in groove 514 formed by the first snap-in wall 511, the second snap-in wall 512, and the connecting wall 513, wherein the first snap-in groove 514 has an opening open toward one side in the length direction of the first decorative cover 34. When it is necessary to connect the first decorative cover 34 and the inner door body 2, after moving the first decorative cover 34 close to one side of the inner door body 2 in the width direction, move the first decorative cover 34 along the height direction of the door body 10 (that is, the length direction of the first decorative cover 34) so ​​that the clamping portion 4111 can be extended into the first clamping groove 514 to realize the clamping of the first decorative cover clamping structure and the first door body clamping structure. When the clamping portion 4111 extends into the first clamping groove 514, the first decorative cover 34 cannot be separated from the door body 10 along the width direction of the door body 10.

[0050] In the front-to-back direction, the size of the inserting strip 411 is smaller than that of the first slot 514 , so that the inserting strip 411 can move back and forth in the first slot 514 , allowing the first decorative cover snap-in structure and the first door body snap-in structure to move relative to each other in the front-to-back direction.

[0051] The first locking structure includes a first position-limiting portion 516 for limiting movement of the first decorative cover locking structure relative to the first door body locking structure along the lengthwise direction of the first decorative cover 34. Specifically, along the lengthwise direction of the first decorative cover 34, the second locking wall 512 is smaller than the locking portion 4111. The first position-limiting portion 516 is a connecting wall 513 that abuts the locking portion 4111 along the lengthwise direction of the first decorative cover 34. After the locking portion 4111 abuts the connecting wall 513, the first decorative cover locking structure cannot continue to move along the lengthwise direction of the first decorative cover 34, thereby limiting the position of the first decorative cover 34 relative to the inner door body 2 in the heightwise direction of the door body 10.

[0052] In other embodiments, in the length direction of the first decorative cover 34, the size of the second clamping wall 512 may also be larger than the size of the clamping portion 4111. At this time, when the clamping portion 411 extends into the first clamping groove 514, the connecting portion 412 and the second clamping wall 512 are abutted against each other along the length direction of the first decorative cover 34. The limiting portion 516 is the second clamping wall 512. After the connecting portion 412 and the second clamping wall 512 are abutted against each other, the first decorative cover clamping structure cannot continue to move along the length direction of the first decorative cover 34.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first card wall 511 is arranged close to the inner door body 2, and the second card wall 512 is arranged close to the second plate body 32 of the first decorative cover 34. The first door body card structure also includes a first supporting member 517 connected to the first card wall 511 and elastically supporting the insertion strip 411. Under the support of the first supporting member 517, the insertion strip 411 has a tendency to move away from the first card wall 511 along the width direction of the door body 10. In this way, the user will not feel loose when pressing the first decorative cover 34.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first supporting member 517 includes a first elastic arm 5171 connected to the first clamping wall 511, and a first protrusion 5172 protruding from the first elastic arm 5171 along the width direction of the door body 10 toward the insertion strip 411. When the clamping portion 4111 is located in the first clamping groove 514, the insertion strip 411 and the first protrusion 5172 are abutted. The first elastic arm 5171 elastically deforms and applies force to the insertion strip 411, so that the insertion strip 411 tends to move away from the first clamping wall 511 along the width direction of the door body 10.

[0055] In other embodiments, the first abutment member may also be an elastic member such as a compression spring connected to the side of the first card wall 511 close to the second card wall 512. The elastic member is telescopically arranged along the width direction of the door body 10, and its two ends in the telescopic direction respectively abut against the first card wall 511 and the insertion strip 411.

[0056] In the height direction of the door body 10, the second engaging wall 512 is smaller than the first engaging wall 511, so as to facilitate the insertion strip 411 to enter the first engaging slot 514. The first door engaging structure also includes two limiting walls 515 located on either side of the first engaging slot 514 in the front-to-back direction. The two limiting walls 515 are used to limit the movable range of the insertion strip 411 in the first engaging slot 514 in the front-to-back direction.

[0057] like Figure 1 、 11 -14, the said snap-fit ​​structure also includes a second door body snap-fit ​​structure and a second decorative cover snap-fit ​​structure respectively provided on the second plate 32 of the inner door body 2 and the second decorative cover 35. The inner door body 2 includes an inner door body 21, a decorative strip 22 provided on one side of the inner door body 21 in the height direction of the door body 10, and the decorative strip 22 includes a cover plate 221 provided on the end of the inner door body 21, and a side wall 222 standing upright on the side of the cover plate 221 away from the inner door body 21. The second plate 32 of the second decorative cover 35 is located on the side of the side wall 222 away from the inner door body 21. The second decorative cover 35 determines its position in the height direction of the door body 10 by the fit between its second plate 32 and the side wall 222.

[0058] The second decorative cover snap-in structure includes an extension plate 421 extending from the second plate body 32 of the second decorative cover 35 toward the inner door body 21, and a snap-in plate 422 extending from the extension plate 421 toward the side wall 222. The extension plate 421 and the side wall 222 are arranged opposite to each other in the front-to-back direction. The second plate body 32 of the second decorative cover 35, the extension plate 421 and the snap-in plate 422 are surrounded to form a second snap-in groove 423. The second door body snap-in structure includes a stopper 521 extending from the side wall 222 toward the extension plate 421. At least part of the stopper 521 is located in the second snap-in groove 423. The second decorative cover snap-in structure also includes a notch 425 that is connected to the second snap-in groove 423 so that the stopper 521 can enter the second snap-in groove 423. When it is necessary to connect the second decorative cover 35 to the inner door body 2, move the second decorative cover 35 so that the stopper 521 enters the second slot 423 from the notch 425. At this time, the stopper 521 is located between the second plate body 32 and the clamping plate 422 of the second decorative cover 35. Then, move the second decorative cover 35 along the width direction of the door body 10 (i.e., the length direction of the second decorative cover 35) so that the stopper 521 and the clamping plate 422 at least partially overlap in the width direction of the door body 10. In this way, the second decorative cover 35 cannot be separated from the door body 10 along the height direction of the door body 10, and the second decorative cover clamping structure and the second door body clamping structure are clamped.

[0059] The notch 425 is formed on the clamping plate 422 , or, when the second clamping slot 423 is provided through the width direction of the door body 10 , the open end of the second clamping slot 423 on one side of the width direction of the door body 10 can be regarded as the notch 425 .

[0060] The stopper 521 and the clamping plate 422 can be relatively staggered in the front-to-back direction, so that the second decorative cover clamping structure and the second door body clamping structure can move relatively in the front-to-back direction.

[0061] The decorative strip 22 also includes a side wall 223 that stands upright on the side of the cover plate 221 facing away from the inner door body 21. The side wall 223 is located on one side of the side wall 222 in the width direction of the door body 10. The second decorative cover engaging structure also includes a snap groove 426 recessed from a side of the snap plate 422. The second door body snap structure includes a second stopper 522 for limiting movement of the second decorative cover engaging structure relative to the second door body snap structure along the length direction of the second decorative cover 35. The second stopper 522 includes a snap plate 5221 extending from the side wall 223 to the side of the snap groove 426 and a snap portion 5222 protruding from the snap plate 5221 toward the snap groove 426. The snap plate 5221 is elastically deformable. When the second decorative cover 35 moves to a certain position relative to the inner door body 2 along the width direction of the door body 10, the snap portion 5222 snaps into the snap groove 426, preventing the second decorative cover 35 from moving further.

[0062] If the second decorative cover 35 needs to be disengaged from the inner door body 2, the snap portion 5222 needs to be disengaged from the snap groove 426. In this embodiment, a slot 2231 is provided at the side wall 223 near the snap plate 5221. Tools or hands can pass through the side wall 223 from the slot 2331 to reach the snap plate 5221, so as to pull the snap plate 5221 to elastically deform the snap plate 5221 so that the snap portion 5222 can be disengaged from the snap groove 426.

[0063] In this embodiment, the snap groove 426 is recessed on the side of the snap plate 422 facing the inner door body 21. In other embodiments of the present invention, the snap groove 426 may also be recessed on the side of the snap plate 422 facing away from the inner door body 21. In this case, the second limiting portion 522 is located on the side of the snap plate 422 facing away from the inner door body 21. It is conceivable that the snap groove 426 may also be recessed on the side of the extension plate 421, as long as the snap portion 5222 can be snapped into the snap groove 426.

[0064] The second decorative cover 35 also includes a third plate 33 connected to the second plate 32 and arranged opposite to the first plate 31 in the front-to-back direction. The inner door body 2 also includes a second supporting member 224 connected to the side wall 222 and elastically supporting the third plate 33. The third plate 33 has a tendency to move away from the outer door body 1 in the front-to-back direction under the support of the second supporting member 224. When the position of the first plate 31 relative to the outer door body 1 in the front-to-back direction has been limited, the second supporting member 224 elastically supports the third plate 33, so that the user will not feel loose when pressing the third plate 33.

[0065] In this embodiment, the second supporting member 224 includes a second elastic arm 2241 connected to the side wall 222, and a second protrusion 2242 protruding from the second elastic arm 2241 along the front-to-back direction toward the third plate body 33. When the second decorative cover 35 is arranged on the door body 10, the third plate body 33 and the second protrusion 2242 are abutted against each other, and the second elastic arm 2241 elastically deforms and applies force to the third plate body 33, so that the third plate body 33 has a tendency to move away from the first clamping wall 511 along the width direction of the door body 10.

[0066] In other embodiments, the first abutment member may also be an elastic member such as a compression spring connected to the side wall 222 close to the third plate body 33. The elastic member is telescopically arranged along the front-to-back direction, and its two ends in the telescopic direction respectively abut against the side wall 222 and the third plate body 33.

[0067] Two sets of second decorative cover and second door body clipping structures are symmetrically arranged along the front-to-back direction. Specifically, the sidewall 222 includes a first sidewall 2221 and a second sidewall 2222 disposed opposite each other along the front-to-back direction. The stopper 521 includes a first stopper 5211 and a second stopper 5212 located between and connected to the first and second sidewalls 2221 and 2222, respectively. The extension plate 421 includes a first extension plate 4211 and a second extension plate 4212 located between the first and second sidewalls 2221 and 2222. The clipping plate 422 includes a first clipping plate 4221 extending from the first extension plate 4211 toward the first sidewall 2221 and a second clipping plate 4222 extending from the second extension plate 4212 toward the second sidewall 2222. These two sets of second decorative cover and second door body clipping structures ensure a more secure connection between the second decorative cover 35 and the inner door body 2. There may be two or more first stops 5211 and second stops 5212 .

[0068] Furthermore, the first extension plate 4211 and the second extension plate 4212 are spaced apart in the front-to-rear direction to form a limiting groove, and the first decorative cover 34 also includes a limiting block 341 connected to its second plate body 32 and at least partially extending into the limiting groove. When the limiting block 241 extends into the limiting groove, the first decorative cover 34 and the second decorative cover 35 can be regarded as a whole and move forward and backward with the outer door body 1.

[0069] The first decorative cover 34 abuts against the second decorative cover 35 along the height direction of the door body 10, and the second decorative cover 35 limits the position of the first decorative cover 34 in the height direction of the door body 10. Specifically, the second decorative cover 35 and the first position-limiting portion 516 can work together to limit the position of the first decorative cover 34. The second decorative cover 35 is used to limit the movement of the first decorative cover 34 toward one side in the height direction of the door body 10 relative to the inner door body 2, and the first position-limiting portion 516 is used to limit the movement of the first decorative cover 34 toward the other side in the height direction of the door body 10 relative to the inner door body 2. In this way, the position of the first decorative cover 34 in the height direction of the door body 10 relative to the inner door body 2 is completely limited.

[0070] The second decorative cover 35 abuts against the first decorative cover 34 along the width direction of the door body 10, and the first decorative cover 34 limits the position of the second decorative cover 35 in the width direction of the door body 10. Specifically, the first decorative cover 34 and the second position-limiting portion 522 can work together. The first decorative cover 34 is used to limit the movement of the second decorative cover 35 relative to the inner door body toward one side in the width direction of the door body 10, while the second position-limiting portion 522 is used to limit the movement of the second decorative cover 35 relative to the inner door body toward the other side in the width direction of the door body 10. In this way, the position of the second decorative cover 35 relative to the inner door body 2 in the width direction of the door body 10 is completely limited.

[0071] The first plate 31 is movably arranged in the socket 13 relative to the outer door body 1 along the width direction of the door body 10 and / or the height direction of the door body 10. In this way, when the outer door body 1 is adjusted relative to the inner door body 2 in the width direction of the door body 10 and / or the height direction of the door body 10, the decorative cover 3 can adaptively move its position to ensure that it can cover the assembly gap between the outer door body 1 and the inner door body 2.

[0072] like Figure 2-4 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the outer door body 1 includes a door panel 11, and the decorative cover 3 includes a first plate 31 that is attached to the side of the door panel 11 near the inner door body 2, and a second plate 32 that extends rearward from the first plate 31 and covers the side of the inner door body 2. The first plate 31 is attached to the side of the door panel 11 near the inner door body 2 to define the position of the decorative cover 3 relative to the outer door body 1 in the front-to-back direction. The first plate 31 and the second plate 32 are arranged at an angle, preferably 90°, but other angles are also possible.

[0073] The outer door body 1 also includes a clip assembly 12 connected to the side of the door panel 11 near the inner door body 2. The socket is formed between the clip assembly 12 and the door panel 11. The first plate 31 is inserted into the socket 13. The clip assembly 12 and the door panel 11 form an elastic clamping structure that elastically clamps the first plate 31. The elastic clamping mechanism clamps the first plate 31, connecting the first plate 31 to the outer door body 1, and maintaining a seamless fit between the first plate 31 and the door panel 11.

[0074] In this embodiment, the clip assembly 12 includes a clip 121 made of an elastic material (such as iron or copper), a connector 122 connecting the clip 121 to the door panel 11, the clip 121 including a fixing portion 1211 fixed relative to the door panel 11, and a pressing portion 1212 connected to the fixing portion 1211 on a side near the first plate 31. The socket 13 is formed between the pressing portion 1212 and the door panel 11, and the pressing portion 1212 is elastically deformable under the action of the first plate 31. It is conceivable that the socket 13 is formed when the first plate 31 is inserted between the clip 121 and the door panel 11 and the first plate 31 causes the clip 121 to elastically deform. When the first plate body 31 is located in the socket 13, the elastic clamping structure formed by the clip assembly 12 and the door panel 11 clamps the first plate body 31, so that the first plate body 31 is attached to the side of the door panel 11 close to the inner door body 2. In this way, the decorative cover 3 cannot move relative to the outer door body 1 in the front and rear directions, and the first plate body 11 and the door panel 11 remain in a seamless fit.

[0075] It should be noted that, under normal conditions, the elastic clamping mechanism clamps the first plate 31, and the first plate 31 remains fixed relative to the outer door body 1. When the position of the decorative cover 3 relative to the outer door body 1 in the width direction and / or the height direction of the door body 10 needs to be adjusted, force is applied to overcome the friction between the first plate 31, the clip 121, and the door panel 11. Multiple clip 121 assemblies are provided to be able to clamp different parts of the first plate 31.

[0076] Furthermore, an anti-slip structure 14 is formed between the holding portion 1212 and the first plate body 31 to prevent the decorative cover 3 from moving relative to the holding portion 1212. The anti-slip structure 14 makes it difficult for the decorative cover 3 to change its position relative to the outer door body 1 under normal conditions.

[0077] In this embodiment, the anti-slip structure 14 includes an arcuate segment 141 formed on the pressing portion 1212 and protruding in an arc shape toward the first plate body 31, and a wavy latching tooth portion 142 formed on the surface of the first plate body 31 near the arcuate segment 141. The arcuate segment 141 serves as a part of the pressing portion 1212. The pressing portion 1212 also includes a connecting segment 1213 connecting the arcuate segment 141 and the fixing portion 1211. The connecting segment 1213 is preferably arranged at an obtuse angle to the fixing portion 1211 so that the connecting segment 1213 forms a good transition between the fixing portion 1211 and the arcuate segment 141. The arcuate segment 141 and the latching tooth portion 142 are engaged and matched, so that the decorative cover 3 is not easily moved relative to the outer door body 1. In addition, the end of the arcuate segment 141 near the side of the door body 10 is tilted backward, so as to facilitate the insertion of the first plate body 31 between the pressing portion 1212 and the door panel 11. The number of arc-shaped segments 141 on a single clip 121 can be one, two, or more.

[0078] In another embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned arc-shaped segment 141 can be replaced by a flat plate segment. In this case, the anti-slip structure 14 is an anti-slip pattern provided on the two surfaces close to the first plate body 31 and the flat plate segment. The anti-slip pattern increases the friction between the flat plate segment and the first plate body 31, making it difficult for the decorative cover 3 to move relative to the outer door body 1.

[0079] In this embodiment, the connector 122 is a threaded fastener that connects the fixing portion 1211 and the door panel 11. The threaded fastener can be a combination of a screw or a bolt and a nut. The use of the threaded fastener facilitates connecting the fixing portion 1211 to the door panel 11. The fixing portion 1211 is pressed against the door panel 11 by the threaded fastener to maintain the fixing portion 1211.

[0080] In other embodiments of the present invention, the clip 121 may also be made of a material that is not elastic. In this case, the clip assembly 12 includes an elastic member disposed between the clip 121 and the door panel 11, so that the clip assembly 12 and the door panel 11 can elastically clamp the first plate 31. In a specific configuration, the clip 121 may be movably disposed relative to the door panel 11 in the front-to-back direction. The elastic member is disposed on the side of the clip 121 facing away from the door panel 11 and is telescopically disposed in the front-to-back direction. One end of the elastic member in the telescopic direction abuts against the clip 121, and the other end is fixed relative to the door panel 11. When the first plate 31 extends between the clip 121 and the door panel 11, the elasticity of the elastic member is overcome and the elastic member contracts. Accordingly, the elastic member applies an elastic force to make the first plate 31 adhere to the door panel 11.

[0081] In other embodiments of the invention, the clip 121 can also be rotatably connected to the door panel 11, and a rotating shaft is provided between the clip 121 and the door panel 11 for rotatably connecting the two. The above-mentioned elastic member is a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft and respectively supports the clip 121 and the door panel 11. The pressing portion 1212 of the clip 121 tends to fit the door panel 11 under the action of the torsion spring. When the first plate body 31 extends between the clip 121 and the door panel 11, the elastic force of the torsion spring is overcome to twist the torsion spring. Accordingly, the torsion spring applies elastic force to make the first plate body 31 fit against the door panel 11.

[0082] To sum up, in the door body 10 for the built-in refrigerator provided by the present invention, the first plate body 31 of the decorative cover 3 is connected to the outer door body 1, and the second plate body 32 is connected to the inner door body 2, wherein the first plate body 31 is immovable relative to the outer door body 1 in the front-to-back direction, but is movably arranged relative to the outer door body 1 in the width direction of the door body 10 and / or the height direction of the door body 10, and the second plate body 32 and the inner door body 2 are movably arranged relative to each other in the front-to-back direction. In this way, the outer door body 1 and the inner door body 2 can be relatively displaced in the height direction of the door body 10, the width direction of the door body 10 and the front-to-back direction, and the decorative cover 3 can be adaptively adjusted to ensure that the assembly gap between the inner door body 2 and the outer door body 1 is covered. Compared with the decorative cover splicing scheme in the prior art, there will be no seams and steps formed by the splicing of the decorative covers.
