DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional changes made by a person skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be understood that the terms used herein, such as "upper", "above", "lower", "below", etc., indicating spatial relative positions, are used for the purpose of convenience to describe the relationship of one unit or feature relative to another unit or feature as shown in the drawings. The terms of spatial relative positions may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation shown in the drawings.

[0030] An embodiment of the utility model provides a narrow-frame drawer that can achieve an extremely narrow limit width while meeting the requirements for stable assembly, and a refrigeration device including the drawer.

[0031] The refrigeration device provided in this embodiment may be a refrigerator, a freezer, a vertical refrigerator, a wine cabinet, etc. The refrigeration device in the following embodiment is described by taking a refrigerator as an example. The refrigerator includes a box body and a door body, and the door body and the box body enclose a refrigeration space, and the refrigeration space includes a refrigeration compartment, a freezing compartment, a variable temperature compartment, etc. The refrigerator also includes a drawer, and the drawer can be placed in these refrigeration compartments, freezing compartments, and variable temperature compartments.

[0032] As described in the background technology, for some refrigerators, especially some high-end refrigerators, it is necessary to make the frame of the drawer extremely narrow and stable, which is difficult to achieve with the existing technology. In this embodiment, the frame produced by injection molding and the alloy frame can make the frame narrow and achieve the firmness and stability of the drawer.

[0033] The drawer of this embodiment includes a body 10 and a front cover 20. The body 10 includes an integrally formed bottom plate 11, two side plates 12 and a back plate 13 connected to the bottom plate 11, and a frame 14 formed by the bottom plate 11 and the two side plates 12. A plurality of clamping parts 142 are arranged on the frame 14. The front cover 20 includes a first cover 21, a second cover 22 and a first connecting member 23. The first cover 21 is connected to the side plates 12, and the second cover 22 is connected to the bottom plate 11. The bottom plate 11 limits the second cover 22 to move only along a first direction T1. The side plates 12 limit the first cover 21 to be connected to the clamping part 142 only along a second direction T2 inclined to the first direction T1. The first connecting member 23 fixes the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 together.

[0034] To clearly express the position and direction described in this embodiment, in this embodiment, the reference gravity direction is defined as downward, and the opposite direction is upward. An opening is exposed above the drawer, and the user can take items in the drawer from above the drawer. The drawer is pulled out in the forward direction, and the opposite direction is backward. The two sides perpendicular to the front, back, top and bottom are respectively the left and right sides. In this embodiment, the first direction T1 is the left or right side, and the second direction T2 can be the front. The bottom plate 11 limits the second cover 22 to move only to the left or right side and cannot move in other directions. The side plate 12 limits the first cover 21 to move only forward. In this way, the directions in which different parts can move are staggered, and these parts that can move in different directions are fixed by connecting parts. That is to say, no part can move anymore, thereby completing the fixation of the front cover 20 as a whole.

[0035] Figure 1 In the figure, the first direction T1 is the right, the second direction T2 is the front, and the direction perpendicular to the plane where the bottom plate 11 is located is the top or the bottom.

[0036] Among them, the first connecting member 23 can be a bolt, a through hole is set on the first cover 21, and a screw hole 221 is set on the second cover 22. The first connecting member 23 passes through the through hole and the screw hole 221 in sequence and is fixedly connected with the screw hole 221 to fix the first cover 21 and the second cover 22.

[0037] This structure realizes a stable connection between the front cover 20 and the drawer body 10, and through the movement restriction and the clamping design in a specific direction, the installation process of the front cover 20 is more stable and reliable. At the same time, the modular design of the front cover 20 improves the aesthetics and structural stability of the drawer.

[0038] In addition, the drawer further includes two wheels 15, both of which are arranged at the end of the drawer away from the front cover 20. The addition of the wheels 15 allows the drawer to slide and move more easily, is particularly suitable for storing and taking out heavy objects, and improves the practicality and user experience of the drawer.

[0039] The drawer of this embodiment is divided into two types: an injection molded frame drawer 100 whose frame is an injection molded part, and an alloy frame drawer 200 whose frame is an alloy part. The injection molded frame drawer 100 is described in detail. Figures 1 to 6 As shown, alloy frame drawer 200 reference Figures 7-9 shown.

[0040] Injection frame drawer 100

[0041] like Figure 2 and 5 As shown, the bottom plate 11 includes a connecting portion 111, which is connected to the second cover 22. The connecting portion 111 includes a first protrusion 1111 and a second protrusion 1112 for limiting the movement of the second cover 22 along a plane perpendicular to the first direction T1. The first protrusion 1111 and the second protrusion 1112 both extend along the first direction T1.

[0042] The first protrusion 1111 and the second protrusion 1112 respectively limit the movement of the second cover 22 from different directions, so that the second cover 22 can only move along the first direction T1. By providing the first connecting portion 111 and the two protrusions on the bottom plate 11, the second cover 22 is effectively restricted from moving in a plane perpendicular to the first direction T1, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the second cover 22 and the bottom plate 11 and improving the overall structural strength of the drawer.

[0043] like Figure 2 and 4 As shown, the frame 14 includes an upper beam 141 connected between the two side plates 12. Figure 6As shown, the clamping portion 142 includes a first clamping portion arranged on the upper beam 141, and a second clamping portion arranged on the two side panels 12, the first cover 21 includes an upper cover 211 aligned with the upper beam 141, and a side cover 212 aligned with the side panels 12, the upper cover 211 is connected to the first clamping portion, and the side cover 212 is connected to the second clamping portion.

[0044] The design of the upper beam 141 and the clamping portion 142 makes the connection between the first cover 21 and the frame 14 more secure. The alignment design of the upper cover 211 and the side cover 212 improves the overall stability and installation convenience of the front cover 20, ensuring the durability of the drawer during use.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the first cover 21 further includes a lower cover 213, which is connected between a pair of side covers 212 and is disposed at the lower portion of the upper cover 211. By adding the lower cover 213, the overall structure of the front cover 20 is strengthened, so that the front cover 20 has higher stability in the longitudinal direction, which helps to achieve better sealing and protection effects.

[0046] The upper cover 211, the lower cover 213 and the side cover 212 are provided as an integrally formed part, and the upper cover 211, the lower cover 213 and the side cover 212 are provided as an integrally formed part. Figure 6 The front cover 20 is directly injection molded, so that the structure is beautiful, and the width of the thin frame can be only 5mm. The design of the one-piece molded part simplifies the manufacturing process of the front cover 20, reduces the assembly steps, improves the production efficiency, and also enhances the overall strength and durability of the front cover 20, reducing the potential loosening or damage of the connection part 111.

[0047] Alloy frame drawer 200

[0048] The alloy frame drawer 200 in this embodiment can be produced by aluminum alloy extrusion process, which has a beautiful metal texture. However, in the prior art, the frame made by this alloy process is difficult to realize due to the complex structure and too narrow frame. This embodiment realizes the alloy frame drawer 200 with an extremely narrow frame through the following structural design.

[0049] The front cover 20 of this embodiment is configured as an alloy part, and the upper cover 211 and the side cover 212 are connected by the second connecting member 24. The front cover 20 is made of alloy material, which improves the mechanical strength and durability of the front cover 20. The connection method of the second connecting member 24 ensures the stable connection between the upper cover 211 and the side cover 212, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the front cover 20.

[0050] The drawer further includes a front panel 30 disposed between the body 10 and the front cover 20, and the side cover 212 includes a limiting portion 2121, which limits the front panel 30 to tilt backward and downward. The setting of the front panel 30 enhances the aesthetics and functionality of the drawer, and the limiting portion 2121 on the side cover 212 effectively prevents the front panel 30 from shifting during use, thereby improving the overall stability and service life of the drawer.

[0051] The second cover 22 is disposed below the first cover 21, and the second cover 22 surrounds a handle groove 220 that opens upward. The second cover 22 is designed to surround the handle groove 220 that opens upward, providing a convenient handle area for grabbing and moving the drawer, improving user experience and operational convenience, and also increasing the functionality of the drawer.

[0052] By applying the above technical solution to refrigeration equipment, the appearance, structural stability and ease of use of the refrigeration equipment are improved, and the market competitiveness and user satisfaction of the equipment are enhanced.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0054] The drawer and refrigeration equipment can achieve an extremely narrow frame design and a delicate appearance through the design of the first cover 21, the second cover 22, the connecting piece and the frame 14. On the other hand, multiple clamping parts 142 and the connecting piece can achieve stable assembly, ensuring the stability and aesthetics of the drawer structure, thereby greatly enhancing the overall aesthetics and durability of the drawer. The drawer design can not only be used in refrigeration equipment, but can also be widely used in other household appliances that require a narrow frame design, and has strong adaptability and market promotion prospects.

[0055] Through the two processes of injection molding and aluminum alloy extrusion, a narrow frame design with a maximum width of 5mm is successfully realized, making the drawer more delicate and beautiful in appearance, meeting the design requirements of high-end home appliances. For the alloy frame drawer 200, the front cover 20 made of aluminum alloy material not only ensures the beauty of the narrow frame design, but also achieves good fixation of the glass through aluminum alloy extrusion process and post-processing, thereby improving the overall durability and stability of the drawer.

[0056] In addition, the design of multiple clamping parts 142 and connectors ensures a stable connection between the front cover 20 and the drawer body 10. Whether it is an injection molded narrow frame or an aluminum alloy narrow frame, a reliable assembly effect can be achieved through a reasonable structural layout and clamping design, and the assembly process is simple, making the assembly of the front cover 20 and the drawer body 10 more convenient and efficient, reducing the manufacturing and assembly costs.

[0057] In addition, the drawer design of the present invention can be applied not only to household refrigeration equipment, but also can be widely used in other household appliances that require a narrow frame design, and has strong adaptability and market promotion prospects.
