[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a refrigerator door provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The present application provides a refrigerator door assembly, including: a door body 10, a first connecting member 20 and a second connecting member 30.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 2 An exploded schematic diagram of a refrigerator door provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the first connecting member and the second connecting member provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figures 1 to 3 The first connecting member 20 is arranged on one side of the door body 10, and a protrusion 21 protruding along the first direction is provided on the side of the first connecting member 20 facing away from the door body 10. A groove 31 recessed along the first direction is provided on the side of the second connecting member 30 facing the first connecting member 20. The groove 31 cooperates with the protrusion 21 and is fixedly connected, and the second connecting member 30 has a handle 32 extending toward the second direction, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the handle 32 is spaced apart from the first connecting member 20.

[0034] In some embodiments, the door body 10 is in the shape of a rectangular frame. Figure 1 This is only an exemplary embodiment of the door body 10. In other embodiments, the door body 10 is in the shape of a square frame. It should be noted that the door body 10 is a main component of the refrigerator door and is used to be installed on the refrigerator body.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first connector 20 is disposed on one side of the door body 10. For example, when the shape of the door body 10 is rectangular, the first connector 20 can be disposed on one side in the length direction of the door body 10, or the first connector 20 can be disposed on one side in the width direction of the door body 10. In some embodiments, the first connector 20 has a protrusion 21 protruding along a first direction on one side facing away from the door body 10. Here, the first direction is the thickness direction of the door body 10.

[0036] In some embodiments, since the protrusion 21 of the first connection member 20 and the groove 31 of the second connection member 30 are both arranged along the first direction and the size of the protrusion 21 matches the size of the groove 31 , the protrusion 21 is adapted to the groove 31 .

[0037] In some embodiments, the groove portion 31 is fixedly connected to the protrusion portion 21. Here, the connection between the groove portion 31 and the protrusion portion 21 includes a fastener and / or an adhesive connection. The fastener can be but is not limited to a threaded fastener, such as a bolt, a stud or a screw.

[0038] In some embodiments, the second connector 30 has a handle portion 32 extending toward the second direction. Here, the second connector 30 is disposed on one side of the door body 10. For example, when the shape of the door body 10 is rectangular, the second connector 30 can be disposed on one side of the length direction of the door body 10, or the second connector 30 can be disposed on one side of the width direction of the door body 10. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The first direction is the Z direction, and the second direction is the X direction.

[0039] In some embodiments, the handle portion 32 is spaced apart from the first connector 20 so that a receiving groove is formed between the handle portion 32 and the first connector 20. The user can put his hand into the receiving groove and hold the handle portion 32 to easily open the refrigerator door.

[0040] In some embodiments, the present application sets a door body 10, a first connecting member 20 and a second connecting member 30; since the protrusion 21 of the first connecting member 20 cooperates with and is fixedly connected to the groove portion 31 of the second connecting member 30, the handle portion 32 of the second connecting member is arranged at an interval from the first connecting member 20, when the user uses the handle portion 32 to open the refrigerator door, the stress of the refrigerator door can be dispersed to the cooperation point between the protrusion 21 and the groove portion 31. Therefore, the thinner first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 can meet the strength requirements, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator door.

[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the first connecting member, the second connecting member and the locking member provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figures 1 to 4 The refrigerator door also includes a locking member 40, the groove portion 31 has a first through hole 3101, and the protrusion portion 21 has a second through hole 2101; the first through hole 3101 and the second through hole 2101 are arranged opposite to each other, and the locking member 40 passes through the first through hole 3101 and the second through hole 2101 and fixes the groove portion 31 and the protrusion portion 21 to be connected.

[0042] In some embodiments, the groove portion 31 has a first through hole 3101, and the protrusion portion 21 has a second through hole 2101. The first through hole 3101 and the second through hole 2101 are arranged opposite to each other, and the diameters of the first through hole 3101 and the second through hole 2101 are both less than or equal to the diameter of the locking member 40, which can ensure that the locking member 40 can simultaneously penetrate the first through hole 3101 and the second through hole 2101. Further, the first through hole 3101 and the second through hole 2101 can have the same diameter, which ensures that the locking member 40 smoothly passes through the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30.

[0043] In some embodiments, in one example, after the locking member 40 passes through the first through hole 3101 and the second through hole 2101, the end of the locking member 40 away from the first connecting member 20 is fixed by a first nut, and the end of the locking member 40 away from the second connecting member 30 is fixed by a second nut. In another example, after the locking member 40 passes through the first through hole 3101 and the second through hole 2101, the end of the locking member 40 away from the first connecting member 20 is fixed by adhesive, and the end of the locking member 40 away from the second connecting member 30 is fixed by adhesive, so that the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 are tightly fixed.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 5 for Figure 4 For a partial enlarged view of area A, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The locking member 40 has a first locking portion 41, a second locking portion 42 and a third locking portion 43, wherein the second locking portion 42 is located between the first locking portion 41 and the third locking portion 43. The second locking portion 42 is located between the first through hole 3101 and the second through hole 2101, wherein the diameter of the first locking portion 41 is greater than the diameter of the first through hole 3101, and the diameter of the third locking portion 43 is greater than the diameter of the second through hole 2101.

[0045] In some embodiments, the locking member 40 has a first locking portion 41, a second locking portion 42, and a third locking portion 43. Here, the first locking portion 41, the second locking portion 42, and the third locking portion 43 are integrally formed, which can improve the strength and durability of the locking member 40, so that the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 are not easy to loosen.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 6 The diameter of the first locking portion 41 is larger than the diameter of the first through hole 3101, and the diameter of the third locking portion 43 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 2101, so that the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 can be tightly fixed. Here, the shape of the first locking portion 41 and the third locking portion 43 can be triangular, which can effectively reduce the amount of material used. Of course, Figures 1 to 6This is only an exemplary embodiment of the first locking portion 41 and the third locking portion 43 . In other embodiments, the shapes of the first locking portion 41 and the third locking portion 43 may be quadrilateral, pentagonal, etc.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a first connecting member, a second connecting member, a locking member and a sink provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 7 for Figure 6 A partial enlarged view of area B in the middle. Figures 1 to 7 The second connecting member 30 has a recessed groove 33 , which is disposed on a side away from the first connecting member 20 , the second through hole 2101 is disposed in the recessed groove 33 , and the third locking portion 43 is located in the recessed groove 33 .

[0048] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 , the shape of the sink 33 is also circular, of course, Figure 7 This is only an exemplary embodiment of the sink 33 . In other embodiments, the sink 33 may be in an elliptical shape, a quadrilateral shape, a pentagon shape, or the like.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 7 The sink 33 is arranged on a side away from the first connector 20, and the second through hole 2101 is arranged in the sink 33. Here, the through hole is connected to the sink 33. Further, the height of the sink 33 is higher than the height of the third locking portion 43, which can ensure that the reference surface of the sink 33 arranged on the side away from the first connector 20 is flat.

[0050] In some embodiments, a plurality of recessed grooves 33 may be provided in the middle of the second connecting member 30, and a plurality of third through holes may be provided in the middle of the first connecting member 20. The third through holes are arranged opposite to the recessed grooves 33, and each third through hole is fixedly connected to each recessed groove 33 by a locking member 40, so that the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 are more tightly fixed together.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the first connecting member, the second connecting member and the panel provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figures 1 to 8 The refrigerator door assembly further includes a panel 50, and a side of the second connector 30 facing away from the first connector 20 has a first mounting surface. The handle portion 32 is at least partially higher than the first mounting surface, and the panel 50 is at least partially in contact with the first mounting surface.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 8 The material of the panel 50 can be tempered glass, etc. The shape of the panel 50 is rectangular. Of course, Figure 1 and Figure 8This is merely an exemplary embodiment of the panel 50 , and in other embodiments, the panel 50 is in a square shape.

[0053] In some embodiments, since the handle portion 32 is at least partially higher than the first mounting surface, the first mounting surface fits against the panel 50, so that the height of the handle can be at the same height as the panel 50, thereby making the refrigerator door more beautiful.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 8 The side wall of the groove portion 31 close to the handle portion 32 has a first height, and the side wall of the groove portion 31 away from the handle portion 32 has a second height, and the first height is smaller than the second height.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first height is H1 and the second height is H2. Because the length of the first height H1 is shorter, the distance between the handle portion 32 and the receiving groove of the first connector 20 is larger, making it easier for the user's hand to fit into the receiving groove. Because the second height H2 is longer, the area of ​​contact between the first connector and the second connector is increased, so that the first connector 20 and the second connector 30 are tightly fixed.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 8 The interior of the handle portion 32 is at least partially hollow.

[0057] In some embodiments, the shape of the handle portion 32 may be irregular. Figure 2 This is only an exemplary embodiment of the handle portion 32 . In other examples, the shape of the handle portion 32 may be circular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, etc.

[0058] In some embodiments, the height of the handle portion 32 continuously increases along the side away from the first connecting member 20, and the height is greater than the first height, which can ensure that the contact area between the user's hand and the handle portion 32 is increased, making the user feel more convenient and labor-saving when opening the refrigerator door.

[0059] In some embodiments, the handle portion 32 is at least partially hollow, which can reduce the amount of material used and thus reduce the cost of the refrigerator door.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 are arranged along the height edge of the door body 10 .

[0061] In some embodiments, by arranging the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 along the height edge of the door body 10 and connecting the first connecting member 20 with the second connecting member 30, the stability of the refrigerator door can be increased, so that the user can operate more stably when opening or closing the refrigerator door.

[0062] In some embodiments, the handle portion 32 of the second connector 30 is arranged along the height edge of the door body 10, which can make it easier for the user to open and close the refrigerator door.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 8 , the thickness of the protrusion 21 is smaller than the thickness of the groove 31 .

[0064] In some embodiments, the material of the groove portion 31 is stainless steel or the like, and the material of the protrusion portion 21 is sheet metal or the like.

[0065] In some embodiments, since the thickness of the protrusion 21 is 0.4-0.5 mm, it is not easy to tap the first through hole 3101 on the protrusion 21, so a locking member 40 can be used for connection. At the same time, the sheet metal can reduce the weight of the refrigerator door due to its light and thin characteristics, while ensuring the structural strength of the refrigerator door.

[0066] In some embodiments, the material of the protrusion 21 is sheet metal, which has the property of rebounding, making it difficult to fix. Therefore, the thickness of the protrusion 21 is greater than the thickness of the groove 31, which can ensure that the thinner sheet metal can be firmly fixed on the thicker second connecting member 30, so that the refrigerator door is more stable during use.

[0067] Furthermore, in order to better implement the refrigerator door assembly of the present application, on the basis of the refrigerator door assembly, the present application also provides a refrigerator, the refrigerator comprising the above-mentioned refrigerator door assembly. In the refrigerator door, by providing a door body, a first connector and a second connector, since the protrusion of the first connector cooperates with and is fixedly connected to the groove of the second connector, the handle of the second connector is arranged at intervals from the first connector, when the user uses the handle to open the refrigerator door, the stress of the refrigerator door can be dispersed to the cooperation between the protrusion and the groove, therefore, the strength requirements can be met by using thinner first connectors and second connectors, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator door.

[0068] The above is a detailed introduction to the embodiments of the present invention. Specific examples are used in this article to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the present invention. At the same time, for technicians in this field, according to the idea of ​​the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
