[0031] In the prior art, the drawers in the refrigerator are usually simply placed on the guide rail assembly, and the drawers are only limited horizontally. In actual use, the drawers often deviate from the original running track and become stuck, affecting the user experience.

[0032] In view of this, the utility model provides a refrigerator drawer structure 100, which makes the drawer 20 more stable in movement through the clamping cooperation of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 21.

[0033] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The refrigerator drawer structure 100 includes a guide rail assembly 10 and a drawer 20. The guide rail assembly 10 includes a guide rail 13 and a sliding block 14. The sliding block 14 can move along the length direction of the guide rail 13. The sliding block 14 is provided with a first clamping member 11. The drawer 20 can move along the length direction of the guide rail assembly 10. The drawer 20 is provided with a second clamping member 21. The second clamping member 21 can follow the drawer 20 to move along a first direction set at an angle to the length direction of the guide rail assembly 10, so as to engage with the first clamping member 11. In this way, the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 21 can make the drawer 20 and the sliding block 14 fixedly connected together, so that the drawer 20 is more stable in the process of following the movement of the sliding block 14, and the direction in which the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 21 realize the engagement is set at an angle to the moving direction of the sliding block 14, so that the drawer 20 is not easy to be separated from the sliding block 14 and cause problems such as dislocation. Moreover, the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 21 can be easily installed and disassembled by means of the engagement.

[0034] When the drawer 20 needs to be disassembled, it is only necessary to pull the drawer 20 along the first direction (in the present embodiment, when the refrigerator is placed vertically and the drawer 20 is pulled out horizontally, the first direction is the vertical direction) to disengage the first clip 11 and the second clip 21, thereby allowing the drawer 20 to be removed. When the drawer 20 is assembled, it is only necessary to insert the second clip 21 into the first clip 11.

[0035] For further information, see Figure 2 The first clamping member 11 includes a clamping portion 111 and a connecting portion 112, wherein the clamping portion 111 is connected to the connecting portion 112, and the connecting portion 112 is connected to the sliding block 14. In this way, the clamping portion 111 is specifically used to limit the second clamping member 21, and the connecting portion 112 is specifically used to connect to the sliding block 14, and the clamping portion 111 and the connecting portion 112 achieve their effects independently to avoid mutual influence.

[0036] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the first clamping member 11 may also be directly connected to the sliding block 14 , and does not need to be divided into two parts, namely, the clamping portion 111 and the connecting portion 112 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 112 includes a first clamping section 1111 and a second clamping section 1112 . The first clamping section 1111 and the second clamping section 1112 are arranged to form a clamping cavity 1113 . The second clamping member 21 is clamped in the clamping cavity 1113 . In this way, the first clamping section 1111 and the second clamping section 1112 cooperate to form the clamping cavity 1113, so the formation of the clamping cavity 1113 is more convenient and quick, and the distance between the first clamping section 1111 and the second clamping section 1112 can control the caliber of the clamping cavity 1113. When the first clamping section 1111 and the second clamping section 1112 move away from each other, the space of the clamping cavity 1113 becomes larger, which is convenient for the second clamping component 21 to enter the clamping cavity 1113. When the first clamping section 1111 and the second clamping section 1112 move toward each other and approach each other, the space of the clamping cavity 1113 can be reduced, and the first clamping section 1111 and the second clamping section 1112 are tightly limited with the second clamping component 21.

[0038] Furthermore, the first clamping section 1111 and the second clamping section 1112 are both arc-shaped structures, and the first clamping section 1111 and the second clamping section 1112 are bent in opposite directions, at least part of the clamping cavity 1113 is circular, and the second clamping member 21 is a cylindrical structure. In this way, the first clamping section 1111 and the second clamping section 1112 of the arc-shaped structure can form a circular clamping cavity 1113, which is mutually adapted with the second clamping member 21 of the cylindrical structure. In the process of mutual clamping of the circular structure, its circular outer peripheral wall can play a guiding role, facilitating the second clamping member 21 to enter the clamping cavity 1113.

[0039] Of course, in other embodiments, the second clamping component 21 can also be set to other structures such as a prismatic structure, and the shape of the clamping cavity 1113 (that is, the shape of the first clamping section 1111 and the second clamping section 1112 and the shape of the enclosed space formed by them) can also be adaptively changed according to the shape of the second clamping component 21, and is not limited to the above-mentioned cylindrical structure.

[0040] Furthermore, one end of the first clamping section 1111 away from the connection portion 112 and one end of the second clamping section 1112 away from the connection portion 112 are bent in opposite directions. In this way, the one end of the first clamping section 1111 away from the connection portion 112 and the one end of the second clamping section 1112 away from the connection portion 112 are defined to form an opening of the clamping cavity 1113, and the two are bent in opposite directions, which can expand the opening of the clamping cavity 1113 and facilitate the second clamping member 21 to enter the clamping cavity 1113, but at the same time will not affect the clamping of the cavity wall of the clamping cavity 1113 to the second clamping member 21.

[0041] The connecting portion 112 includes a plurality of connecting ribs 1121, one end of the connecting rib 1121 is connected to the clamping portion 111, and the other end is connected to the sliding block 14. In this way, the plurality of connecting ribs 1121 enable the connecting portion 112 to provide a strong connection strength while achieving lightness.

[0042] At the same time, multiple connecting ribs 1121 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the guide rail assembly 10, and multiple connecting ribs 1121 are arranged in parallel along the first direction. In this way, the evenly arranged connecting ribs 1121 can provide a more uniform connection effect, so that stress is shared and connection reliability is improved.

[0043] The refrigerator drawer structure 100 includes at least two guide rail assemblies 10, the guide rail assemblies 10 are located on both sides of the drawer 20, the first clamping member 11 is arranged at one end of the guide rail assembly 10, and the second clamping member 21 is arranged on at least one side of the drawer 20. The guide rail assemblies 10 on both sides simultaneously support and guide the drawer 20, so that the movement of the drawer 20 is more stable. The second clamping member 21 is arranged on the side of the drawer 20, so as to cooperate with the guide rail 13 and the sliding block 14 thereof, and reduce the impact on the space inside the drawer 20.

[0044] Preferably, second clamping members 21 are provided on both sides of the drawer 20 to balance the limiting effects on both sides.

[0045] A guide plate 22 is provided on at least one side of the drawer 20. The guide plate 22 is slidably matched with the guide rail assembly 10, and the guide plate 22 is bent along a first direction away from the side of the drawer 20 and abuts against the outer side of the guide rail assembly 10 to improve the matching effect between the guide plate 22 and the guide rail assembly 10 and reduce the lateral movement of the drawer 20.

[0046] A side of the guide plate 22 facing away from the guide rail assembly 10 is provided with a convex plate 223, and the convex plate 223 has a protective cavity 2231, and the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 21 are both located in the protective cavity 2231. In this way, the convex plate 223 can surround and protect the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 21, thereby extending the service life of both.

[0047] The utility model also provides a refrigerator, comprising the refrigerator drawer structure 100 as described above.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 21, so that the drawer 20 is fixedly connected with the sliding block 14, so that the drawer 20 is more stable in the process of following the movement of the sliding block 14, and the direction of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 21 to achieve the clamping fit is set at an angle with the moving direction of the sliding block 14, so the drawer 20 is not easy to be separated from the sliding block 14 and cause problems such as misalignment. Moreover, the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 21 can be easily installed and disassembled by means of the clamping fit.

[0049] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
