[0022] The embodiments of the present embodiment are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present embodiment, and cannot be understood as limiting the present embodiment.

[0023] In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this embodiment and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this embodiment. In the description of this embodiment, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0024] This embodiment provides a refrigerator, which includes a drawer assembly, which includes a split handle and a drawer front panel that can be disassembled and assembled. The detachable split handle and drawer front panel are easy to clean and repair, and the mounting portion of the split handle is completely covered by the gripping portion, thereby maintaining the aesthetics of the overall structure of the drawer.

[0025] The present embodiment provides a refrigerator, the refrigerator includes a storage space formed in a box body, the storage space may include a plurality of compartments, and according to different temperatures set in the compartments, may include a refrigeration compartment, a fresh-keeping compartment, a freezing compartment, etc., respectively used to store items with different storage temperature requirements. The drawer assembly provided in the present embodiment may be arranged in one or more of the above compartments, and each compartment may also be provided with one or more drawer assemblies for placing items.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the drawer assembly includes a drawer body 1, a drawer front cover plate 2, and a split handle 3.

[0027] The split handle 3 includes a gripping portion 31 and a mounting portion 32. The split handle 3 is assembled with the drawer front cover plate 2 via the mounting portion 32. The mounting portion 32 is disposed on the side of the gripping portion 31 facing the drawer front cover plate 2, and the mounting portion 32 does not exceed the edge of the gripping portion 31. The gripping portion 31 is the portion that the user directly touches to open or push the drawer. The mounting portion 32 is the component that connects the drawer handle to the drawer front cover plate 2.

[0028] By designing the handle to be split, and setting up a connection structure such as a buckle, a screw hole or other mechanical connection method at the position where the mounting portion 32 corresponds to the drawer front cover 2, a stable assembly between the split handle 3 and the drawer front cover 2 is achieved. The split structure not only ensures the firmness of the assembly, but also greatly improves the convenience of disassembly and reassembly, making it easy to clean or replace. After the overall disassembly, there is no structure in all parts that is difficult to clean due to an angle less than 90°. The mounting portion 32 does not exceed the edge of the gripping portion 31, so that the mounting portion 32 can be hidden in a position that cannot be directly seen inside the gripping portion 31, which not only keeps the appearance of the drawer neat and tidy, optimizes the appearance of the drawer handle, but also does not affect the functionality of the handle, avoiding the inconvenience that may be caused by the protruding part during use.

[0029] Furthermore, the gripping portion 31 includes an upper baffle 311 and a front baffle 312, the upper baffle 311 and the front baffle 312 are bent, the mounting portion 32 is disposed between the upper baffle 311 and the front baffle 312, and the mounting portion 32 does not exceed the edge of the gripping portion 31. In this embodiment, the upper baffle 311 and the front baffle 312 are disposed perpendicular to each other.

[0030] The mounting portion 32 is located between the upper baffle plate 311 and the front baffle plate 312, so that the mounting portion 32 is structurally clamped by the upper and lower plates, thereby enhancing the overall stability and durability. In addition, this layout also makes the mounting portion 32 almost invisible visually, further improving the appearance of the drawer handle.

[0031] The drawer front cover plate 2 includes a docking portion 21 , and a receiving cavity for receiving the mounting portion 32 is formed in the docking portion 21 . When the split handle 3 is installed on the drawer front cover plate 2 , the mounting portion 32 is disposed in the docking portion 21 .

[0032] The docking portion 21 is an area on the drawer front cover 2 for docking with the mounting portion 32 of the drawer handle. The accommodating cavity is used to accommodate the mounting portion 32 of the drawer handle to ensure that the mounting portion 32 can be fully embedded in the drawer front cover 2, thereby ensuring the close connection between the split handle 3 and the drawer front cover 2, and increasing the stability and aesthetics of the entire drawer front cover. In addition, the design of arranging the mounting portion 32 of the split handle 3 in the docking portion 21 simplifies the installation process of the handle and the front cover. Users or production personnel can easily install the handle in place without complicated tools or excessive force, thereby improving assembly efficiency. By fully embedding the mounting portion 32 into the accommodating cavity of the front cover, the stability of the handle can also be ensured, avoiding the problem of loosening after long-term use.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting portion 32 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, which avoids the side edge areas of the upper baffle 311 and the front baffle 312. When the mounting portion 32 is set in the accommodating cavity, the grip portion 31 and the upper baffle shield the docking portion 21. The mounting portion 32 adopts a rectangular parallelepiped structure, which provides a sufficient contact area to ensure a stable connection with the accommodating cavity in the docking portion 21 of the drawer front cover 2. The rectangular parallelepiped structure is easy to manufacture and process, and at the same time provides sufficient structural strength to support the grip portion 31.

[0034] Furthermore, the drawer front cover plate 2 includes a plurality of bending structures, and the angles between the bending structures are not less than 90°.

[0035] The bending structure can effectively increase the rigidity and durability of the drawer front cover 2, making it more stable, and can also increase the visual design of the drawer front cover 2. The angle between the bending structures is designed to be no less than 90°. After disassembly, these bending structures are easier to clean, so that cleaning tools can more easily access stains on the inner side of the bend and corners, and it is not easy to form a "dead corner" where dirt accumulates, thereby making the cleaning process more efficient and thorough.

[0036] The bend at the upper side of the drawer front cover plate 2 allows the drawer front cover plate 2 to retract inward, forming a space for the user to stretch out his hands, making it easier for the user to operate.

[0037] The front end surface of the drawer body 1 facing the drawer front cover plate 2 is provided with a protruding reinforcing rib 11, the shape of which matches the shape of the bent structure of the drawer front cover plate 2. When the drawer front cover plate 2 is installed on the drawer body 1, the reinforcing rib 11 abuts against the drawer front cover plate 2. The reinforcing rib 11 increases the stability of the entire drawer structure, and the reinforcing rib 11 reduces the deformation and damage that may occur to the drawer front cover plate 2 during long-term use by providing additional support.

[0038] Furthermore, the drawer assembly also includes side trims 4 , which are detachably mounted on both sides of the drawer front cover 2 . When the split handle 3 and the side trims 4 are mounted on the drawer front cover 2 , the side trims 4 shield the mounting portion 32 .

[0039] By adding side trim strips 4 on both sides of the front cover, the visual elements of the drawer can be increased. When the split handle 3 is installed on the drawer front cover 2, the side of the handle installation part 32 will be exposed, affecting the overall appearance. The design of the side trim strips 4 can effectively cover these installation parts 32, keeping the appearance of the drawer neat and uniform.

[0040] The side trim 4, as a decorative component of the drawer front cover 2, also adopts a detachable design and can be easily removed from the drawer front cover 2 for easy cleaning or replacement, thereby improving the maintenance convenience of the drawer component and the aesthetics of long-term use.

[0041] Furthermore, the bottom of the front baffle 312 is bent inward, and an injection molding strip is provided at the inner bottom edge. The bending can increase the friction between the user's fingers and the contact part of the handle when opening and closing the drawer, thereby improving the user experience. The injection molding strip is provided at the inner bottom edge of the front baffle 312. Compared with metal or other hard materials, the injection molding strip can provide a softer touch and improve the anti-slip effect.

[0042] Furthermore, the drawer front cover 2 is an injection molded part or a sheet metal part, and the split handle 3 is an injection molded part or a sheet metal part. According to the market positioning and cost considerations of the refrigerator, the materials of the drawer front cover 2 and the split handle 3 can be freely combined and matched. For example, lower-end models focus more on cost-effectiveness and use injection molded parts, while high-end models focus on improving material texture and appearance design and use sheet metal parts. In addition, considering that at low temperatures, alloy parts may make the user's hands sticky due to freezing when the user's hands are wet, a combination of an injection molded split handle 3 and a sheet metal drawer front cover 2 can be used, and different material combinations can be adjusted in storage spaces with different temperatures.

[0043] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the material used by the side trim strip 4 can also be adjusted as required, such as it can be a sheet metal part or an injection molded part, thereby further increasing the appearance combination options of the drawer assembly.

[0044] To sum up, the drawer assembly in this embodiment includes a split handle and a drawer front panel that can be disassembled and assembled. The detachable split handle and drawer front panel are easy to clean and maintain, and the mounting portion of the split handle is completely covered by the gripping portion, thereby maintaining the beauty of the overall structure of the drawer.

[0045] It should be understood that although this specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each implementation mode may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0046] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of this embodiment and are not intended to limit the protection scope of this embodiment. Any equivalent implementation methods or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of this embodiment should be included in the protection scope of this embodiment.
