[0034] 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.

[0035] The embodiments of the present application provide a fixing part, a drawer assembly and a refrigerator to solve the problem that during transportation of the existing refrigerator, the drawer in the box may slide inside the box and then collide with the box, causing scratches or damage to the drawer or the box, which will be explained in conjunction with the accompanying drawings below.

[0036] The fixing member 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a refrigerator 2. The refrigerator 2 includes a box body 21, a door 22 and a drawer 23. The drawer 23 is drawable and arranged in the box body 21. A flange 231 is provided on one side of the drawer 23 close to the door 22. Figure 4 , Figure 4 A structural diagram of a drawer of a drawer assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein a gripping position 232 is formed between the flange 231 and the drawer 23, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is an exploded schematic diagram of the fixing member, the drawer and the door provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the installation of a fixing member and a drawer provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the fixing member 1 includes a fixing body 11, which is clamped between the drawer 23 and the door 22, and a fixing end 111 is provided at one end of the fixing body 11 close to the flange 231; the fixing end 111 includes an adjacent first plug-in portion 1111 and a first limiting portion 1112, a slot is formed between the first plug-in portion 1111 and the first limiting portion 1112, the flange 231 is plugged into the slot, the first plug-in portion 1111 is plugged into the hand-picking position 232, and the first limiting portion 1112 is attached to the side of the flange 231 away from the first plug-in portion 1111.

[0037] The fixing member 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a fixing body 11 which is clamped between the door 22 and the drawer 23 to avoid a gap between the drawer 23 and the door 22, so that the drawer 23 hits the door 22 due to inertia during the transportation of the refrigerator 2, thereby avoiding damage to the drawer 23 or the door 22 due to the impact; and a fixing end 111 is convexly provided on the fixing body 11, and a first plug-in portion 1111 of the fixing end 111 is plugged into the finger-picking position 232 of the flange 231 of the drawer 23 to achieve a fixing effect between the fixing body 11 and the drawer 23, and prevent the fixing body 11 from being displaced relative to the drawer 23. The flange 231 is plugged into a slot formed between the first plug-in portion 1111 and the first limiting portion 1112, further improving the plug-in fixing effect of the flange 231 and the fixing end 111, and at the same time, the first limiting portion 1112 is attached to the outer side of the flange 231, separating the flange 231 from the door 22, and preventing the flange 231 from directly contacting the door 22 and causing scratches. That is, the fixed body 11 is clamped between the box door 22 and the drawer 23 to prevent the drawer 23 from hitting the box door 22. At the same time, the fixed body 11 and the drawer 23 are plugged and fixed by the fixed end 111, and the fixed body 11 will not shift, thereby ensuring the limiting effect of the fixed body 11.

[0038] Optionally, a side of the first limiting portion 1112 facing the door 22 may be in contact with the door 22 , or may be spaced apart from the door 22 .

[0039] The shape of the flange 231 is not further limited here. For example, it can be a bent portion bent outward and downward from the drawer 23. The groove sandwiched between the bent portion and the drawer 23 is the hand-gripping position 232. The user can place his hand on the hand-gripping position 232 to pull the drawer 23. Specifically, the flange 231 can be set at the top of the drawer 23 facing the door 22, and the length of the flange 231 can be the same as the length of the drawer 23.

[0040] Optionally, the drawer 23 includes a side wall 233 close to the door 22 , and the side wall 233 gradually tilts toward the door 22 along the direction of gravity; one side of the fixed body 11 is in contact with the side wall 233 , and the other side is in contact with the door 22 .

[0041] That is, the bottom of the side wall 233 of the drawer 23 close to the flange 231 is inclined toward one side of the door 22, which ensures that the drawer 23 is provided with the flange 231 for pulling and drawing, and the side wall 233 is inclined outward to further increase the storage space of the drawer 23, and prevent the capacity of the drawer 23 from being reduced due to the setting of the flange 231. One side of the fixed body 11 is in contact with the side wall 233, and the other side is in contact with the door 22, thereby filling the space between the drawer 23 and the door 22, preventing the drawer 23 from sliding in the box 21 and avoiding the drawer 23 from hitting the door 22. Among them, when the fixed body 11 is in contact with the drawer 23 with the inclined side wall 233, the thickness of the fixed body 11 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the thickness of the fixed body 11 is the size of the fixed body 11 in the direction from the door 22 to the side of the drawer 23 or from the drawer 23 to the side of the door 22.

[0042] Optionally, the drawers 23 include at least two and are spaced apart in the box body 21 along the gravity direction, and the upper drawer 23 is plugged into the fixed end 111; see Figure 3 , Figure 3The structural schematic diagram of the fixing member provided in the embodiment of the present application, the fixed body 11 is provided with a second limiting portion 112 on one side facing the drawer 23, and the second limiting portion 112 is extended between at least two drawers 23. The number of drawers 23 is not further limited here, for example, it can be two, three, four, etc. When there are three drawers 23, the flange 231 of the top drawer 23 is plugged with the fixed end 111 on the fixed body 11, and two second limiting portions 112 are correspondingly provided on the fixed body 11 to extend in the gap between two adjacent drawers 23 respectively. When the drawer 23 includes multiple drawers, the number of the second limiting portions 112 is one less than the number of the drawers 23, and a second limiting portion 112 is extended between each two adjacent drawers 23. The shape of the second limiting portion 112 is not further limited here. For example, it can be columnar, block-shaped, etc. The length of the second limiting portion 112 is not further limited, and it can be further limited according to the use environment.

[0043] By providing the second limiting portion 112, two adjacent drawers 23 are separated in the vertical direction to prevent the drawers 23 from colliding and being broken or damaged when moving up and down.

[0044] Optionally, the second limiting portion 112 is elastic and has an interference fit with at least two drawers 23. That is, the thickness of the second limiting portion 112 is greater than the interval between two adjacent drawers 23 in the vertical direction. When the second limiting portion 112 is extended between two adjacent drawers 23, it can fill the interval between the two drawers 23 and press the two drawers 23, so that the drawers 23 cannot move in the vertical direction.

[0045] In some examples, the second limiting portion 112 may be made of EPE material.

[0046] Optionally, a third limiting portion 113 is further convexly provided on the side of the fixed body 11 facing the drawer 23, and the third limiting portion 113 is located on the side of the second limiting portion 112 away from the fixed end 111, and the third limiting portion 113 abuts against the drawer 23 located below. The shape and size of the third limiting portion 113 are not further limited here, and it is sufficient to be close to the drawer 23 below, and the third limiting portion 113 can have a certain interval with the flange 231 of the drawer 23 below, or fit with the flange 231 of the drawer 23 below.

[0047] That is, the third limiting portion 113 is pressed against the drawer 23 below, thereby increasing the adaptability of the fixing body 11 and the drawer 23 below, and improving the matching degree of the fixing member 1 and the drawer 23. In addition, the interval between the second limiting portion 112 and the third limiting portion 113 reserves installation space for the flange 231 of the drawer 23 below, thereby avoiding interference between the fixing member 1 and the drawer 23.

[0048] Optionally, the third limiting portion 113 is provided with a second plug-in portion 1131 protruding toward the second limiting portion 112 , and the second plug-in portion 1131 is plugged into the hand-picking position 232 of the drawer 23 located below.

[0049] That is, the fixed body 11 can be fixed by plugging with the flange 231 of the upper drawer 23 through the first plug-in portion 1111, and at the same time, it can also be fixed by plugging with the flange 231 of the lower drawer 23 through the second plug-in portion 1131, which further increases the fixing effect of the fixed body 11 and the drawer 23 and prevents the fixed body 11 from shifting relative to the drawer 23. At the same time, the second plug-in portion 1131 and the first plug-in portion 1111 fill the finger-picking position 232 of the flange 231 to avoid a gap between the drawer 23 and the door 22, further compressing the drawer 23, and improving the clamping effect of the fixing member 1 on the drawer 23.

[0050] When the drawers 23 include three or more, the number of the third limiting portions 113 is one less than the number of the drawers 23, the side wall 233 of the drawer 23 located at the top is conformally matched with the side wall of the fixed body 11 facing the drawer 23, and each of the drawers 23 located below has a third limiting portion 113 conformally matched thereto, thereby ensuring the adaptability between the fixing member 1 as a whole and the multiple drawers 23.

[0051] Optionally, the fixed body 11 is elastic, and when the door 22 is closed, the fixed body 11 is interference-fitted with the door 22 and the drawer 23. As a specific embodiment, when the door 22 is opened, the fixed body 11 faces the plane where the side wall of the door 22 is located, and exceeds the plane where the inner wall of the door 22 is located when the door 22 is closed by 2mm to 3mm, that is, after the door 22 is closed, the fixed body 11 is squeezed, so that the fixed body 11 is elastically deformed and then presses the drawer 23 in the pulling direction of the drawer 23, preventing the drawer 23 from sliding in the box body 21 and then colliding with the box body 21 or the door 22.

[0052] In some examples, the fixing body 11 can be made of EPE material. In this case, the cost of one fixing part 1 is about 0.3 yuan, which is relatively low, thereby reducing the protection cost of the refrigerator 2 during transportation.

[0053] Optionally, the fixing body 11 includes a pair of fixing bodies 11, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the flange 231. That is, by clamping a fixing member 1 on both sides of the front side of the drawer 23 to limit the drawer 23, the limiting protection effect of the fixing member 1 on the drawer 23 is further improved.

[0054] Of course, there may be only one fixed body 11 , which is disposed in the middle of the front side of the drawer 23 ; or there may be three fixed bodies 11 , which are disposed on both sides and in the middle of the front side of the drawer 23 .

[0055] The embodiment of the present application also provides a drawer 23 assembly, which is applied to a refrigerator 2. The refrigerator 2 includes a box body 21 and a door 22. The drawer 23 assembly includes a drawer 23 and the above-mentioned fixing member 1. The drawer 23 is arranged in the box body 21 in a retractable manner; the above-mentioned fixing member 1 is clamped between the drawer 23 and the door 22.

[0056] Optionally, the drawer 23 may include one or more drawers. When the drawer 23 includes multiple drawers, the fixed body 11 is correspondingly provided with multiple second limiting portions 112 and multiple third limiting portions 113, and the number of the second limiting portions 112 and the third limiting portions 113 is one less than the number of the drawers 23.

[0057] The present application embodiment also provides a refrigerator 2, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 The refrigerator 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the refrigerator provided in the embodiment of the present application.
