[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4The present application provides a refrigerator drawer 100, which includes a drawer body 10, a front cover 20, a handle 30 and a decorative panel 40. The front cover 20 is detachably connected to the drawer body 10, the handle 30 is detachably connected to the front cover 20, and a part of the surface of the handle 30 and a part of the surface of the front cover 20 form a mounting surface 21 on the side away from the drawer body 10, and the decorative panel 40 is attached to the mounting surface 21. It can be understood that the front cover 20, the handle 30 and the decorative panel 40 are separately arranged, so the front cover 20, the handle 30 and the decorative panel 40 can be processed respectively with different materials. For example, the materials of the front cover 20 and the handle 30 are respectively configured as one of aluminum alloy and plastic, and the material of the decorative panel 40 is configured as one of a glass panel and aluminum alloy. There are two connection positions between the handle 30 and the front cover 20, one of which is that the handle 30 is directly and detachably connected to the front cover 20, and the other is that the handle 30 is indirectly connected to the front cover 20 at the mounting surface 21 through the decorative panel 40; and, by setting the mounting surface 21, the contact area between the decorative panel 40 and the front cover 20, and between the decorative panel 40 and the handle 30 can also be increased, so that the handle 30, the front cover 20 and the decorative panel 40 can be firmly connected.
[0034] Specifically, the decorative panel 40 can be assembled on the installation surface 21 by pressing with hot melt adhesive or double-sided adhesive.
[0035] The drawer body 10 is provided with a limiting protrusion 11 and a clamping hole 12. The clamping hole 12 is located below the limiting protrusion 11 along the height direction X of the drawer body 10. The front cover 20 is provided with a matching groove 22 and a clamping portion 23. After the matching groove 22 is sleeved on the limiting protrusion 11 along the height direction X of the drawer body 10, the front cover 20 can rotate downward around the limiting protrusion 11 until the clamping portion 23 is clamped into the clamping hole 12. In this way, the matching groove 22 and the limiting protrusion 11 play a role in positioning and preliminary installation, so as to facilitate the subsequent clamping of the clamping portion 23 into the clamping hole 12.
[0036] Furthermore, along the height direction X of the drawer body 10, a limiting protrusion 11 is provided at the top of the drawer body 10, and the matching groove 22 is sleeved above the limiting protrusion 11 along the height direction X of the drawer body 10, so that the upper edge of the front cover 20 is pressed against the top of the drawer body 10 under the action of its own gravity.
[0037] Furthermore, the number of the limiting protrusions 11 is configured to be multiple, and the multiple limiting protrusions 11 are arranged at intervals along the width direction Y of the drawer body 10.
[0038] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 10, the drawer body 10 is provided with a first limiting convex portion 13, and the clamping hole 12 includes a first hole 121 opened on the first limiting convex portion 13; the clamping portion 23 includes a first clamping claw 231, and the first clamping claw 231 is clamped in the first hole 121. It can be understood that the first clamping claw 231 is clamped and matched with the first hole 121 to limit the front cover 20 from disengaging from the drawer body 10 along the length direction Z of the drawer body 10.
[0039] Further, the front cover 20 is provided with a first matching portion 24, the first clamping claw 231 is connected to the first matching portion 24, and the first matching portion 24 is located above the first limiting convex portion 13 along the height direction X of the drawer body 10, so that the first clamping claw 231 can be inserted into the first hole 121 along the upper surface of the first limiting convex portion 13. The first matching portion 24 is located on the upper surface of the first limiting convex portion 13 along the height direction X of the drawer body 10, so that the drawer body 10 can form a limit along the height direction X with the front cover 20 under its own gravity.
[0040] A guiding inclined surface 235 is arranged on the first clamping claw 231, and the guiding inclined surface 235 is used for guiding the first clamping claw 231 to be inserted into the first hole 121 along the upper surface of the first limiting convex portion 13.
[0041] Optionally, the first limiting convex portion 13 and the first matching portion 24 respectively extend in a long strip shape along the width direction Y of the drawer body 10.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the drawer body 10 is further provided with a second limiting convex portion 15, the clamping hole 12 further includes a third hole 123 opened on the second limiting convex portion 15; the front cover 20 has a supporting portion 25, the clamping portion 23 further includes a third clamping claw 233 arranged on the supporting portion 25, the supporting portion 25 is located below the second limiting convex portion 15 along the height direction X of the drawer body 10, and the third clamping claw 233 is clamped in the third hole 123. It can be understood that by arranging the supporting portion 25 below the second limiting convex portion 15 along the height direction X of the drawer body 10, a limit along the height direction X can be formed between the drawer body 10 and the front cover 20. Combining with the fact that the first matching portion 24 is located above the first limiting convex portion 13 along the height direction X of the drawer body 10, it can be known that the front cover 20 and the drawer body 10 can be locked along the height direction X of the drawer body 10, which is beneficial to avoiding the up-and-down shaking between the front cover 20 and the drawer body 10.
[0043] A guiding inclined surface 235 is arranged on the third clamping claw 233, and the guiding inclined surface 235 is used for guiding the third clamping claw 233 to be inserted into the third hole 123 along the lower surface of the second limiting convex portion 15.
[0044] The second limiting convex part 15 is configured to extend in the shape of a short plate, the number of the second limiting convex parts 15 is configured to be multiple, and the multiple second limiting convex parts 15 are evenly spaced along the width direction Y of the drawer body 10. A third hole 123 is formed in each second limiting convex part 15. In this way, the second limiting convex part 15 is more likely to be deformed under the extrusion of the third claw 233, so that it is convenient for the third claw 233 to be inserted into the third hole 123.
[0045] Along the height direction X of the drawer body 10, the first limiting convex part 13 is arranged at the bottom end of the drawer body 10, and the second limiting convex part 15 is arranged in the middle of the drawer body 10.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown in, the drawer body 10 is provided with two side plates 14 arranged oppositely along the width direction Y. The card hole 12 further includes a second hole 122 formed in the side plate 14; the clamping part 23 further includes a second claw 232, and the second claw 232 can be inserted into the second hole 122 along the surface of the side plate 14. It can be understood that the second claw 232 is clamped and connected with the second hole 122 to limit the front cover 20 from disengaging from the drawer body 10 along the length direction Z of the drawer body 10. Moreover, the two side plates 14 can form left and right limits on the front cover 20 along the width direction Y, so as to avoid left and right shaking between the front cover 20 and the drawer body 10.
[0047] The front cover 20 is provided with two end plates 28 corresponding to the two side plates 14. The end plates 28 cover the outer surfaces of the side plates 14. The second claw 232 is connected to the side of the end plate 28 facing the side plate 14, and a guiding inclined surface 235 is provided on the second claw 232. The guiding inclined surface is used to guide the second claw 232 to be inserted into the second hole 122 along the outer surface of the side plate 14.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7, a second engaging portion 26 is provided on the side of the front cover 20 facing the drawer body 10, a fourth claw 234 is provided on the side of the front cover 20 facing away from the drawer body 10, and the fourth claw 234 is located above the second engaging portion 26 along the height direction X of the drawer body 10. The handle 30 is provided with a first hook 31 and a second hook 32. Among them, after the first hook 31 is hooked on the second engaging portion 26, the handle 30 can rotate upward around the second engaging portion 26 until the second hook 32 abuts against the inner side of the fourth claw 234. It can be understood that the cooperation between the first hook 31 and the second engaging portion 26 plays a role in positioning and preliminary installation to facilitate the subsequent movement of the second hook 32 to the inner side of the fourth claw 234. Moreover, the connection between the first hook 31 and the second engaging portion 26, and the abutting cooperation between the second hook 32 and the fourth claw 234 can prevent the handle 30 from detaching from the front cover 20 along the length direction Z of the drawer body 10.
[0049] Along the height direction X of the drawer body 10, the lower edge of the handle 30 is bent to form the first hook 31, and the upper edge of the handle 30 is bent to form the second hook 32. In this way, the structure of the handle 30 is simple and convenient for processing.
[0050] Exemplarily, in an embodiment, along the height direction X of the drawer body 10, the lower end of the fourth claw 234 is suspended. As the first hook 31 moves towards the front cover 20, the first hook 31 is elastically deformed by the extrusion of the outer side of the fourth claw 234 and moves from the lower end of the fourth claw 234 to abut against the inner side of the fourth claw 234. One end of the second engaging portion 26 is connected to the front cover 20, and the other end extends towards the direction close to the drawer body 10 and is suspended. The cross-section of the first hook 31 is approximately in a shape of a capital "J", and the first hook 31 is hooked on the suspended end of the second engaging portion 26. In this way, a limit can be formed between the handle 30 and the front cover 20 along the height direction X to avoid the up-and-down shaking between the handle 30 and the front cover 20.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 , the handle 30 includes a connected flat plate 33 and a bent plate 34. The flat plate 33 and the front cover 20 form an installation surface 21. The bent plate 34 is spaced from the flat plate 33 and encloses a groove 35. The opening of the groove 35 faces downward along the height direction X of the drawer body 10. In this way, the user can place the hand in the groove 35 and hold the flat plate 33 to pull out the drawer 100 for the refrigerator.
[0052] The assembly process of the drawer 100 for the refrigerator provided by this application is as follows: First, install the front cover 20 onto the drawer body 10. The specific steps are: First, sleeved the mating groove 22 along the height direction X of the drawer body 10 on the limiting convex block 11, and then rotate the front cover 20 downward around the limiting convex block 11 until the clamping portion 23 is snapped into the clamping hole 12; Next, install the handle 30 onto the front cover 20. The specific steps are: First, hook the first hook 31 on the second mating portion 26, and then rotate the handle 30 upward around the second mating portion 26 until the second hook 32 is stopped inside the fourth claw 234; Finally, press and assemble the decorative panel 40 onto the mounting surface 21 through hot melt adhesive or double-sided adhesive.
[0053] This application also provides a refrigerator, which includes the drawer 100 for the refrigerator described in any one of the above embodiments.
[0054] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the various technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.
[0055] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of this application. Their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of this application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of this application.
