[0029] See also Figures 1 to 7The present application provides a refrigerator drawer 100, which includes a drawer body 10 and a guide rail assembly 20. The side wall of the drawer body 10 is provided with a mounting portion 11 at one end along the length direction Y, and a notch portion 12 at the other end. The guide rail assembly 20 is provided with a connecting structure 21 and an elastic hook 22. The connecting structure 21 is detachably connected to the mounting portion 11, and the elastic hook 22 is hooked on the notch portion 12 along the direction from the notch portion 12 to the mounting portion 11. In the process of installing the guide rail assembly 20 to the drawer body 10, the elastic hook 22 can be first hooked on the notch portion 12 along the direction from the notch portion 12 to the mounting portion 11 for preliminary installation, and then the connecting structure 21 is connected to the mounting portion 11, which is convenient to operate and is conducive to improving assembly efficiency. In the process of disassembling the guide rail assembly 20 from the drawer body 10, the connecting structure 21 can be first disassembled from the mounting portion 11, and then the elastic hook 22 can be separated from the notch portion 12, so that the disassembly efficiency can be improved. In addition, two installation positions are formed between the guide rail assembly 20 and the drawer body 10 along the length direction Y, so that the connection between the guide rail assembly 20 and the drawer body 10 is more secure. The elastic hook 22 is hooked in the notch portion 12, and the elastic hook 22 can undergo elastic deformation, which is helpful to avoid the problem of jamming between the guide rail assembly 20 and the drawer body 10.

[0030] Optionally, in one embodiment, along the length direction Y of the drawer body 10 , the mounting portion 11 is disposed at the front end of the side wall of the drawer body 10 .

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the guide rail assembly 20 also includes a mounting bracket 23 and a guide rail body 24. The guide rail body 24 is mounted on the side of the mounting bracket 23 away from the drawer body 10, and the connecting structure 21 and the elastic hook 22 are respectively detachably connected to the two opposite ends of the mounting bracket 23. In order to improve the structural strength of the mounting bracket 23, the mounting bracket 23 can be made of metal, and the elastic hook 22 and the connecting structure 21 are both configured as plastic parts. Among them, the side of the guide rail body 24 away from the mounting bracket 23 is used to connect to the inner wall of the refrigerator storage compartment.

[0032] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The elastic hook 22 includes a connecting portion 221 and an elastic arm 222. The connecting portion 221 is detachably connected to the mounting bracket 23. One end of the elastic arm 222 is connected to the connecting portion 221, and the other end is suspended in the air, and a slot 223 is formed between the elastic arm 222 and the connecting portion 221; wherein the elastic arm 222 can undergo elastic deformation in response to external force so that the edge of the notch portion 12 is snapped into the slot 223.

[0033] Specifically, the bayonet 223 is arranged along the length direction Y toward the notch 12. After the notch 12 is inserted into the bayonet 223, a limit is formed between the guide rail assembly 20 and the drawer body 10 along the height direction X, thereby preventing the guide rail assembly 20 and the drawer body 10 from shaking up and down. The connection portion 221 and the mounting bracket 23 may be connected by a bayonet or by screws.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 6 The notch 12 has a first guiding slope 121, which is arranged obliquely relative to the length direction Y of the drawer body 10; and as the elastic hook 22 moves toward the notch 12, the first guiding slope 121 can press the elastic arm 222 in a direction away from the connection portion 221. It can be understood that the first guiding slope 121 cooperates with the elastic hook 22 to play a guiding role. Specifically, the first guiding slope 121 presses the elastic arm 222 in a direction away from the connection portion 221, so that the elastic arm 222 is deformed in a direction away from the connection portion 221, thereby enlarging the bayonet 223 to facilitate the notch 12 to be inserted into the bayonet 223.

[0035] Exemplarily, in one implementation, along the height direction X of the drawer body 10 , the first guide slope 121 is provided on the upper wall of the notch 12 , and the height of the first guide slope 121 gradually increases along the direction from the notch 12 to the mounting portion 11 .

[0036] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the upper wall of the notch portion 12 is provided with a plurality of vertical plates 122 arranged at intervals, and the upper end surfaces of the plurality of vertical plates 122 define a first guiding inclined surface 121 .

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the connection structure 21 includes a first connection member 211 and a second connection member 212, the first connection member 211 is connected to the mounting bracket 23, the second connection member 212 is clamped to the mounting portion 11, and the second connection member 212 is detachably connected to the first connection member 211. Specifically, the first connection member 211 can be first connected to the mounting bracket 23, and the second connection member 212 can be connected to the mounting portion 11, and then the second connection member 212 can be connected to the first connection member 211.

[0038] like Figures 2 to 7As shown, the mounting portion 11 includes a mounting seat 111 and two elastic claws 112, the two elastic claws 112 are located on both sides of the mounting seat 111 along the length direction Y, and the second connecting member 212 is sandwiched between the two elastic claws 112 and pressed against the mounting seat 111. It can be understood that the second connecting member 212 is pressed against the mounting seat 111 under the action of its own gravity, and the two elastic claws 112 can limit the second connecting member 212 along the length direction Y, so as to prevent the guide rail assembly 20 and the drawer body 10 from shaking left and right.

[0039] Further, along the width direction Z of the drawer body 10, the second connecting member 212 is stopped between the elastic claw 112 and the drawer body 10, and the side walls of the two elastic claws 112 close to each other are respectively provided with second guiding inclined surfaces 113, and the second guiding inclined surfaces 113 are used to guide the second connecting member 212 to be clamped into the side of the elastic claw 112 toward the drawer body 10. It can be understood that the elastic claw 112 can prevent the second connecting member 212 from being separated from the drawer body 10 along the width direction Z of the drawer body 10, and the second guiding inclined surfaces 113 can guide the second connecting member 212, so as to facilitate the second connecting member 212 to be installed between the elastic claw 112 and the drawer body 10.

[0040] At least part of the first connecting member 211 is attached to the surface of the second connecting member 212 facing away from the mounting portion 11, and the first connecting member 211 and the second connecting member 212 are connected by screws 213. In this way, after the elastic hook 22 hooks the notch portion 12, the first connecting member 211 is connected to the mounting portion 11, and the second connecting member is installed to the mounting portion 11, the first connecting member 211 can be moved to the desired installation position along the surface of the second connecting member 212 facing away from the mounting portion 11.

[0041] Further, the first connecting member 211 includes a connected protrusion 201 and a main body 202, and the main body 202 is detachably connected to the mounting bracket 23; the second connecting member 212 is provided with a groove 203, and an opening 204 is opened on the side wall of the groove 203, and the protrusion 201 can be inserted into the groove 203 through the opening 204. It can be understood that the side wall of the groove 203 can limit the protrusion 201, so as to help reduce the shaking between the first connecting member 211 and the second connecting member 212.

[0042] The main body 202 and the mounting bracket 23 may be connected by snap-fitting or by screws.

[0043] Optionally, in one embodiment, the opening 204 is disposed downward along the height direction X of the drawer body 10 .

[0044] The present application also provides a refrigerator, which includes the refrigerator drawer 100 described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0045] 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.

[0046] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
