[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] The embodiment of the present application provides a box liner assembly and a refrigerator. In order to more clearly illustrate the structure of the box liner assembly and the refrigerator, the box liner assembly and the refrigerator will be introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] In the prior art, a fixing block is usually arranged between the box 10 and the shelf 20, but this installation method is relatively complicated; some box 10s are provided with ribs as support for the shelf 20, but lack an introduction structure, which is also not conducive to the assembly of the shelf 20. Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the box liner assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A partial cross-sectional view of the box assembly shown, Figure 3 for Figure 2The enlarged schematic diagram of the part A of the box liner assembly shown. The box liner assembly 100 provided in the present application includes a box liner 10 and a shelf 20, wherein the box liner 10 includes a rear wall 11 and two side walls 12 arranged opposite to each other, wherein the rear wall 11 is connected between the two side walls 12. The shelf 20 is horizontally installed between the two side walls 12. The box liner assembly 100 also includes two supporting liner ribs 30 and two first liner ribs 40, wherein each of the side walls 12 is convexly provided with one of the supporting liner ribs 30, and when the shelf 20 is horizontally installed on the two side walls 12, the supporting liner ribs 30 are used to provide support for the shelf 20. Each of the side walls 12 is provided with a first rib 40, and each of the first rib 40 includes a supporting portion 41 and a mounting portion 42 connected to each other, the supporting portion 41 is spaced apart from the supporting rib 30 and cooperates to support the shelf 20, and the mounting portion 42 is provided on the side of the supporting portion 41 facing the shelf 20, so that the first rib 40 as a whole forms an L-shaped structure facing the rear wall 11. The mounting portion 42 includes a first end surface 421 away from the supporting portion 41, a first side surface 422 facing the supporting rib 30, and an introduction surface 423 located at the connection between the first end surface 421 and the first side surface 422, and the introduction surface 423 is used to guide one end of the shelf 20 to move toward the supporting portion 41. By providing an introduction surface 423 structure at the connection between the first end surface 421 and the first side surface 422, the sliding distance of the shelf 20 along the first end surface 421 and the first side surface 422 can be reduced, and a certain angle can be formed at the connection between the first end surface 421 and the first side surface 422, thereby facilitating the movement of the shelf 20 toward the support portion 41 and improving the overall installation efficiency.

[0041] For example, please combine Figure 3 See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 for Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the structure of the first rib is shown. The mounting portion 42 includes a body and a protruding structure, the body is connected to the support portion 41, and the end of the body away from the support portion 41 is protrudingly provided with the protruding structure toward the support rib 30, the introduction surface 423 is located on the protruding structure, and the protruding structure, the body and the support portion 41 form a mounting groove 424, and one end of the shelf 20 is mounted on the mounting groove 424. Since the refrigerator shelf 20 has a certain weight, it is easy to fall off when it is not firmly installed. By forming the mounting groove 424 through the cooperation of the protruding structure and the support portion 41, the freedom of one end of the shelf 20 in the up and down direction of the box 10 can be further limited, thereby ensuring the stability of the shelf 20 during transportation and preventing the shelf 20 from falling off the first rib 40.

[0042] Exemplarily, the introduction surface 423 also includes an arc segment 4231 and a straight segment 4232, the straight segment 4232 is parallel to the rear wall 11, the straight segment 4232 is connected between the arc segment 4231 and the first side surface 422, the arc segment 4231 is connected to the first end surface 421, and is arranged from the first end surface 421 toward the support portion 41 and away from the first side surface 422, and the shelf 20 slides into the mounting groove 424 along the arc segment 4231 and the straight segment 4232. Specifically, since the refrigerator shelf 20 is usually a glass structure, the glass structure is easily shaken and damaged during transportation. The first side 422 includes a connecting section 4221, and the connecting section 4221 is connected to one end of the straight section 4232 close to the support portion 41, and is inclined toward the support portion 41 and away from the rear wall 11. The connecting section 4221 forms a partial groove wall of the installation groove 424. When the shelf 20 is installed in the installation groove 424, the shelf 20 can abut against the connecting section 4221 to further limit the shaking of the shelf 20.

[0043] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 for Figure 2 The enlarged schematic diagram of a part B of the box assembly is shown. The box assembly 100 further includes two second ribs 50, each side wall 12 is provided with a second rib 50 protruding toward the other side wall 12, the second ribs 50 are spaced apart from the supporting ribs 30 and are arranged on two sides opposite to the shelf 20, the first rib 40 includes a guide surface 511, the guide surface 511 is located on the side of the second rib 50 facing the supporting rib 30, the guide surface 511 is used to guide the other end of the shelf 20 to slide along the second rib 50, so that the shelf 20 is installed between the supporting rib 30 and the second rib 50. Specifically, the box assembly 100 also includes two second ribs 50 arranged opposite to each other. Before one end of the shelf 20 is installed on the first rib 40, the other end of the shelf 20 is moved toward the rear wall 11 so that the shelf 20 is placed horizontally. By setting a guide surface 511 structure to guide the shelf 20 to slide, the impact caused by direct contact between the shelf 20 and the second rib 50 can be avoided, providing a certain buffering effect.

[0044] Exemplarily, the second bile rib 50 includes an extension portion 51 and a stop portion 52, the stop portion 52 is vertically connected to one end of the extension portion 51 away from the first bile rib 40, the guide surface 511 is located at the connection between the extension portion 51 and the stop portion 52, the extension portion 51 includes a bottom surface 512 facing the support bile rib 30, one end of the guide surface 511 is connected to the bottom surface 512, and the other end is inclined in a direction away from the first bile rib 40 and away from the support bile rib 30, and is connected to the stop portion 52. The guide surface 511 can be set at a smaller inclination angle to facilitate the movement of the shelf 20. When the shelf 20 contacts the bottom surface 512, the guide surface 511 is used to guide the shelf 20 to move toward the stop portion 52 and abut against the stop portion 52. At this time, the shelf 20 rotates with the end close to the rear wall 11 as a fulcrum, and the end of the shelf 20 away from the rear wall 11 enters the support part 41 through the introduction surface 423, and the first rib 40 and the second rib 50 cooperate to complete the installation of the shelf 20 and limit the freedom of the shelf 20 from the front and rear directions of the box 10.

[0045] Exemplarily, the support rib 30 includes a top surface 31 facing the extension portion 51, and the bottom surface 512 and the projection of the top surface 31 along the gravity direction partially overlap. Specifically, since the shelf 20 lacks a support point when sliding along the guide surface 511, assembly is more laborious. The support rib 30 is arranged below the extension portion 51 and is at a short distance from the extension portion 51, which can provide support for the installation of the shelf 20 in time and facilitate the installation of the shelf 20.

[0046] Exemplarily, the stopper 52 includes a stopper surface 521 facing the supporting rib 30, the shelf 20 abuts against the stopper surface 521, and the guide surface 511 and the stopper surface 521 are in an arc transition. Specifically, the guide surface 511 and the stopper surface 521 form an arc groove as a whole, and the shelf 20 moves in the arc groove while the other end rotates toward the first rib 40. The arc transition structure can reduce the damage during installation, especially when the box assembly 100 is transported, the arc structure can further reduce the impact force caused by the shaking of the shelf.

[0047] Exemplarily, the length of the support portion 41 is greater than the length of the mounting portion 42, and the length of the extension portion 51 is greater than the length of the stop portion 52. Specifically, the increase in the length of the support portion 41 is conducive to providing support for the shelf 20, and the increase in the length of the extension portion 51 is conducive to guiding the movement of the shelf 20. In some embodiments, the support ribs 30 can be connected to the support portion 41 to further increase the support length and improve the support effect.

[0048] The first rib 40, the second rib 50, the support rib 30 and the box 10 are an integrally formed structure. The integrally formed connection method can not only simplify the installation process, but also enhance the stability of the structure. In the box structure, the integrally formed connection method can also make the inside of the box 10 smooth and flat, easy to clean and maintain.

[0049] The present application also provides a refrigerator 200, see Figure 6 , Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the structure of the refrigerator provided in the embodiment of the present application. The refrigerator can be a single-door refrigerator, a double-door refrigerator or a side-by-side refrigerator. The refrigerator 200 includes a box body 201 and a box liner assembly 100 as described above, and the box liner assembly 100 is arranged in the box body. The introduction surface 423 structure provided in the box liner assembly 100 improves the assembly efficiency of the shelf 20, and further improves the manufacturing efficiency of the refrigerator 200.
