[0048] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0049] With the rapid development of society and the improvement of living standards, refrigerators have become an indispensable household appliance in modern families. They not only keep food fresh, but also bring more convenience to family life. In order to better classify and store food and improve the efficiency of space use, built-in shelves are commonly used in modern refrigerator designs. These shelves can help users organize and store food more effectively, making the most of the refrigerator space.

[0050] In the related art, the shelves need to be fixed inside the refrigerator using additional fixings, such as screws. This design is not only complicated to install, but also the stability of the screw fixing is not ideal. In daily use, due to frequent opening and closing and the placement of items, these screws are easy to loosen or even fall off, thus affecting the service life of the refrigerator and user experience. In addition, the shelves fixed with screws have poor performance when subjected to external forces, and are prone to shaking or deformation, which affects the storage function and safety of the refrigerator.

[0051] In order to solve the above technical problem, a box assembly 1 is provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0052] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a box assembly according to an exemplary embodiment Figure 1 .

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the box assembly 1 mainly includes a box 2 and a fixing member 3.

[0054] The fixing member 3 can be used to support the storage assembly disposed in the box body 2 , and the fixing member 3 can be snap-connected with the box body 2 .

[0055] In this embodiment, the fixing member 3 and the housing 2 are connected by snapping, which simplifies the installation process of the fixing member 3 and the housing 2, and reduces the installation steps and time. At the same time, compared with the fixing by screws in the related art, the fixing member 3 and the housing 2 of the present disclosure are connected by snapping to provide a more secure fixing effect, avoiding the problems of loosening and falling off caused by vibration that may exist in the screw fixing, thereby improving the stability of the fixing member 3 and extending the service life of the fixing member 3 and the refrigerator.

[0056] It is understandable that the box 2 may be a shell or container of a refrigerator, and the box 2 is a structure that can accommodate the storage assembly 110 and other components. The box 2 may be made of metal or plastic material to accommodate the storage space of the refrigerator and freezer, and the box 2 may also provide support and fix the storage assembly 110 such as the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment. However, the present disclosure does not specifically limit the type of the box 2, that is, those skilled in the art may set or adjust it according to actual conditions, as long as the box 2 is a structure that can accommodate the storage assembly 110 and other components.

[0057] It is understandable that the fixing member 3 may be a component for supporting the storage assembly 110 disposed in the box body 2 and being snap-connected with the box body 2. The fixing member 3 may be a component for fixing and supporting the storage assembly 110 to ensure the stability and safety of the storage assembly 110. For example, in a possible case, the fixing member 3 may be at least a part of a bracket for fixing a glass plate or a partition in a refrigerator, and through snap-connection with the box body 2, the glass plate or the partition is firmly fixed to facilitate separation and storage of food.

[0058] In another possible case, the fixing member 3 may also be at least a portion of a slide rail in the refrigerator for fixing a vegetable drawer or a freezer drawer. By snapping together with the box body 2, the drawer can slide smoothly and be firmly fixed, making it convenient for users to access food.

[0059] In another possible case, the fixing member 3 can also be at least a part of the support frame for fixing the bottle rack or the beverage rack in the refrigerator, and through the snap connection with the box body 2, the bottle rack or the beverage rack can be firmly fixed to facilitate the storage of beverages and bottled foods.

[0060] It should be noted that the present disclosure does not specifically limit the specific form of the fixing member 3. The above situation is only an exemplary description of the forms in which the fixing member 3 can exist, but is not limited to the situations described in the above embodiments. As long as the fixing member 3 is a component that fixes and supports the storage assembly 110, it can be any. In other words, as long as it is under this condition, those skilled in the art can adjust the specific form of the fixing member 3 according to the actual situation.

[0061] Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a refrigerator according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0062] It is understood that the storage component 110 can be a component in a refrigerator for storing food, beverages or other items, for example, Fig. 9 As shown, the storage assembly 110 can be a drawer or a shelf, etc. Its function is to provide storage space, which is convenient for users to classify, store and take out items, while keeping the items fresh and tidy. In the present disclosure, the fixing member 3 can fix the storage assembly 110 at a specific position of the refrigerator by snapping with the box body 2 to ensure that the storage assembly 110 will not be displaced or loosened during use. The fixing member 3 provides the functions of support and fixation, so that the storage assembly 110 can stably store food, drinks or other items and keep them tidy and orderly.

[0063] It is understandable that the fixing member 3 can be connected with the housing 2 by snapping, and the snapping connection can be that at least one of the fixing member 3 and the housing 2 realizes the connection between the parts that cooperate therewith through the shape or configuration of its own mechanical components, and the snapping connection may not require the use of additional fixing methods such as bolts, screws or welding. The snapping connection can use the geometric shape and / or elasticity of at least one of the fixing member 3 and the housing 2 to realize the connection between the fixing member 3 and the housing 2 by insertion and clamping. For example, in a possible case, the snapping connection between the fixing member 3 and the housing 2 can be realized by convex-concave matching. For example, a convex portion is provided on the fixing member 3, and a corresponding concave portion is provided on the housing 2. When the fixing member 3 is inserted into the housing 2, the convex portion and the concave portion cooperate with each other to form a snapping connection, thereby ensuring the stable fixation between the fixing member 3 and the housing 2.

[0064] In another possible case, the snap connection between the fixing member 3 and the box body 2 can be achieved by the cooperation of a slot and a notch. For example, a slot is provided on the fixing member 3, and a corresponding notch is provided on the box body 2. When the fixing member 3 is inserted into the box body 2, the slot and the notch cooperate with each other to form a snap connection, thereby ensuring that the fixing member 3 and the box body 2 are firmly fixed.

[0065] In another possible case, the snap connection between the fixing member 3 and the box body 2 can be realized by spring clamping. For example, a spring is provided on the fixing member 3, and a corresponding clamping portion is provided on the box body 2. When the fixing member 3 is inserted into the box body 2, the spring clamps the fixing member 3 to form a snap connection, thereby ensuring that the fixing member 3 and the box body 2 are firmly fixed.

[0066] It should be noted that the present disclosure does not specifically limit the specific form of the snap connection between the fixing member 3 and the box body 2. The above situation is only an exemplary description of the ways in which the fixing member 3 and the box body 2 can be snap-connected, but it is not limited to the situation described in the above embodiment. As long as at least one of the fixing member 3 and the box body 2 is connected to the matching parts through the shape or configuration of its own mechanical components. In other words, as long as it is under this condition, those skilled in the art can adjust the specific form of the snap connection between the fixing member 3 and the box body 2 according to the actual situation.

[0067] The fixing member 3 may be a component with a certain flexibility, such as a component with a certain flexibility such as plastic or wood, so that the fixing member 3 has a certain deformation ability when it is engaged with the box body 2. Alternatively, the fixing member 3 may also be a metal component. It should be noted that the present disclosure does not specifically limit the type of the fixing member 3, that is, those skilled in the art may set or adjust it according to actual conditions.

[0068] Figure 3is a schematic diagram of a box assembly according to an exemplary embodiment Figure 2 . Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Enlarged view of the structure of part B. Figure 5 The figure is a schematic structural diagram of a fixing member according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0069] In some embodiments, Figure 3 or Figure 4 As shown, the box body 2 may include a plurality of first limiting portions 21. Figure 5 As shown, the fixing member 3 may include a plurality of second limiting portions 31 , and the plurality of first limiting portions 21 may limit each other with the plurality of second limiting portions 31 , so that the movement of the fixing member 3 in three-dimensional directions relative to the box body 2 may be limited.

[0070] In this embodiment, the limiting structure of the plurality of first limiting parts 21 and the plurality of second limiting parts 31 can limit the movement of the fixing member 3 relative to the box body 2 in the three-dimensional direction, thereby bringing about beneficial effects such as enhanced stability, prevention of displacement and misalignment, and improved safety. Through the design of the limiting structure, the movement range of the fixing member 3 is limited, the fixing member 3 is prevented from accidentally moving due to external forces or other factors, and the storage assembly 110 is kept in a stable state. This effectively prevents the displacement and misalignment of the fixing member 3, maintains the correct position and layout of the storage assembly 110, and improves the overall use effect of the refrigerator. At the same time, the limitation of the limiting structure also reduces safety hazards such as accidental collision, tilting or falling, and improves the safety of users and stored items.

[0071] It is understood that the three-dimensional direction can be a guide or orientation in three-dimensional space. In three-dimensional space, three mutually perpendicular axes (e.g., x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis) can be used to describe the position or direction of an object. Each axis can represent a dimension, and the three-dimensional direction can be a direction in these three dimensions. For example, the x-axis in three-dimensional space can be the left-right direction in three-dimensional space, the y-axis can be the up-down direction in three-dimensional space, and the z-axis can be the front-back direction in three-dimensional space.

[0072] In this embodiment, the movement of the fixing member 3 relative to the box body 2 in the three-dimensional direction can be limited, which means that the fixing member 3 can be limited when it moves relative to the box body 2 in any direction dimension in the three-dimensional space. That is, the fixing member 3 can be limited when it moves relative to the box body 2 in the x-axis in the three-dimensional space, the fixing member 3 can also be limited when it moves relative to the box body 2 in the y-axis in the three-dimensional space, and the fixing member 3 can also be limited when it moves relative to the box body 2 in the z-axis in the three-dimensional space. In other words, the movement limitation of the fixing member 3 in the three-dimensional space is an all-round limitation, that is, whether it is moving along the x-axis, y-axis or z-axis, the fixing member 3 can be limited by the box body 2. This all-round limiting design ensures the stability and precise positioning of the fixing member 3 in the three-dimensional space, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the storage component 110 of the box body 2.

[0073] In some embodiments, when the storage assembly 110 is disposed in the box body 2, the storage assembly 110 can move in the front-to-back direction relative to the box body 2, such as Figure 4 As shown, the plurality of first limiting portions 21 may include front and rear first limiting portions 22, upper and lower first limiting portions 23, and left and right first limiting portions 24. Figure 5 As shown, the plurality of second limiting portions 31 may include front and rear second limiting portions 32, upper and lower second limiting portions 33, and left and right second limiting portions 34. The front and rear first limiting portions 22 may limit each other with the front and rear second limiting portions 32 when moving in the front and rear directions. The upper and lower first limiting portions 23 may limit each other with the upper and lower second limiting portions 33 when moving in the upper and lower directions relative to the front and rear directions. The left and right first limiting portions 24 may limit each other with the left and right second limiting portions 34 when moving in the left and right directions relative to the front and rear directions.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the storage assembly 110 is disposed in the box body 2, the storage assembly 110 is accurately moved and positioned in these directions by means of the limiting structures in the front-back, up-down and left-right directions. The movement of the storage assembly 110 in the front-back, up-down and left-right directions is limited by the design and mutual cooperation of the limiting components, so that the accurate positioning and stability of the storage assembly 110 can be achieved.

[0075] It is understandable that the storage assembly 110 can move in the front-to-back direction relative to the box body 2. For example, when the storage assembly 110 is a drawer, the drawer can be pulled relative to the box body 2, and the pulling direction can be the front-to-back direction. The front and rear first limiting portions 22 of the plurality of first limiting portions 21 in the box body 2 can limit each other with the front and rear second limiting portions 32 in the fixing member 3, so as to achieve relative fixation of the fixing member 3 relative to the box body 2 in the front-to-back direction.

[0076] It can be understood that the up-down direction is a direction that can be perpendicular to the front-back direction, and the upper and lower first limiting parts 23 among the multiple first limiting parts 21 in the box body 2 can limit each other with the upper and lower second limiting parts 33 in the fixing member 3 to achieve relative fixation of the fixing member 3 relative to the box body 2 in the up-down direction.

[0077] It can be understood that the left and right direction can be a direction perpendicular to the front and rear directions and the up and down directions. The left and right first limiting parts 24 among the multiple first limiting parts 21 in the box body 2 can limit each other with the left and right second limiting parts 34 in the fixing member 3 to achieve relative fixation of the fixing member 3 relative to the box body 2 in the left and right direction.

[0078] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the front and rear first limiting portions 22 may include a front first limiting portion 221 and a rear first limiting portion 222, and the upper and lower first limiting portions 23 may include an upper first limiting portion 231 and a lower first limiting portion 232. Figure 5 As shown, the front and rear second limiting parts 32 may include a front second limiting part 321 and a rear second limiting part 322, and the upper and lower second limiting parts 33 may include an upper second limiting part 331 and a lower second limiting part 332. The front first limiting part 221, the upper first limiting part 231, the rear first limiting part 222 and the lower first limiting part 232 may be connected in sequence, and the front second limiting part 321, the upper second limiting part 331, the rear second limiting part 322 and the lower second limiting part 332 may be connected in sequence.

[0079] In the present embodiment, the design that the front first limiting portion 221, the upper first limiting portion 231, the rear first limiting portion 222 and the lower first limiting portion 232 can be connected in sequence, and the front second limiting portion 321, the upper second limiting portion 331, the rear second limiting portion 322 and the lower second limiting portion 332 can be connected in sequence can simplify the processing technology of the front and rear first limiting portions 22 and the upper and lower first limiting portions 23, and the front and rear second limiting portions 32 and the upper and lower second limiting portions 33, which is conducive to reducing production costs.

[0080] In one possible scenario, Figure 4 As shown, the front and rear first limiting portions 22 and the upper and lower first limiting portions 23 can together form a basically rectangular shape. With this arrangement, the four sides of the rectangle can be used as the front first limiting portion 221, the upper first limiting portion 231, the rear first limiting portion 222 and the lower first limiting portion 232, respectively, which is conducive to simplifying the manufacturing process and thus reducing production costs.

[0081] In another possible situation, Figure 5As shown, the front and rear second limiting portions 32 and the upper and lower second limiting portions 33 can together form a basically rectangular shape. With this arrangement, the four sides of the rectangle can be used as the front second limiting portion 321, the upper second limiting portion 331, the rear second limiting portion 322 and the lower second limiting portion 332, respectively, which is conducive to simplifying the manufacturing process and thus reducing production costs.

[0082] However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In another possible case, the front and rear first limiting portions 22 and the upper and lower first limiting portions 23 can also jointly form a basically circular shape. With this arrangement, the circumference of the circle can be equally divided into four parts. The four parts can be respectively used as the front first limiting portion 221, the upper first limiting portion 231, the rear first limiting portion 222 and the lower first limiting portion 232, which is conducive to simplifying the manufacturing process and thus reducing production costs.

[0083] In another possible case, the front and rear second limiting portions 32 and the upper and lower second limiting portions 33 may also jointly form a basically circular shape. With this arrangement, the circumference of the circle can be equally divided into four parts. The four parts can be respectively used as the front second limiting portion 321, the upper second limiting portion 331, the rear second limiting portion 322 and the lower second limiting portion 332, which is conducive to simplifying the manufacturing process and thus reducing production costs.

[0084] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the plurality of first limiting portions 21 may be recessed portions, such as Figure 5 As shown, the plurality of second position limiting portions 31 may be convex portions, or the plurality of first position limiting portions 21 may be convex portions, and the plurality of second position limiting portions 31 may be concave portions. With this arrangement, through the cooperation of the concave portions and the convex portions, precise position limiting between the fixing member 3 and the box body 2 can be achieved, ensuring that the movement of the fixing member 3 in the three-dimensional direction is limited.

[0085] It is understandable that the "plurality of first limiting portions 21" and the "plurality of second limiting portions 31" refer to specific structures or components on the box body 2 and the fixing member 3, respectively, and may be a recessed portion or a raised portion. The recessed portion may be a portion that is recessed inwardly, and the raised portion may be a portion that is raised outwardly.

[0086] This embodiment may have at least two situations, that is, in the first possible situation, a plurality of recessed portions may be provided on the box body 2, and a corresponding plurality of raised portions may be provided on the fixing member 3, and the limiting is achieved by the convex-concave cooperation between the recessed portions of the box body 2 and the raised portions of the fixing member 3.

[0087] However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In the second possible case, a protrusion may be provided on the box body 2, and a corresponding recess may be provided on the fixing member 3. Positioning may also be achieved by the convex-concave fit between the protrusion of the box body 2 and the recess of the fixing member 3.

[0088] Figure 7 yes Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the structure cut along the C-C' line.

[0089] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the fixing member 3 may include a first side 35 and a second side 36 facing oppositely, the first side 35 may be arranged opposite to the box body 2, the first limiting portion 21 may be located on the first side 35, and the second limiting portion 31 may be located on the side of the box body 2 opposite to the first side 35. With this arrangement, the first limiting portion 21 and the second limiting portion 31 may be arranged opposite to each other, so that they can be matched when they are engaged and connected.

[0090] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A-section structure enlarged view.

[0091] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the fixing member 3 may include a roller mounting hole 37 , and the roller mounting hole 37 may be disposed on the second side 36 . The roller mounting hole 37 may be used to mount a roller rotatably connected to the storage assembly 110 .

[0092] In this embodiment, by setting the roller mounting hole 37, the fixing member 3 can be equipped with a roller, and the roller can be rotatably connected to the storage component 110, so that the storage component 110 can be easily moved through the roller, which can improve the flexibility and convenience of the storage component 110.

[0093] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the fixing member 3 may further include a boss 38, which may be disposed on the second side 36, and the roller mounting hole 37 may be disposed on the boss 38. With this arrangement, the mounting position of the roller may be more closely fitted to the storage assembly 110 through the protrusion of the boss 38, and the rotation connection and movement performance of the storage assembly 110 may be enhanced.

[0094] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the fixing member 3 may include a first support portion 39, which may be located on the second side 36, and the first support portion 39 may be used to support the components placed in the box assembly 1. By setting the first support portion 39, the storage assembly 110 placed in the box assembly 1 can be supported and firmly fixed, and the stability and reliability of the storage assembly 110 can be improved.

[0095] It is understandable that the first support portion 39 may be a support structure on the second side 36 of the fixing member 3, for supporting the components in the box assembly 1. Figure 2As shown, the first support portion 39 may be a protrusion in the fixing member 3 . It may also be a groove in the fixing member 3 , and the present disclosure is not limited thereto, as long as the first support portion 39 can provide support for the storage assembly 110 .
