[0081] As described in the background art, in the related art, the door body includes a door shell and an inner liner connected to each other. Among them, the door shell can be formed by sheet metal processing, so that the overall structure of the door shell is more stable and the outer surface of the door shell is more beautiful. During the production process of the door body, foaming material can be filled into the cavity formed by the door shell and the inner liner, so that the foaming material expands and cures in the cavity, thereby being able to play a certain fixing role on the door shell and the inner liner, and being able to play a certain heat preservation effect through the foaming material in the cavity.

[0082] It is easy to understand that due to the above-mentioned splicing gaps of the door shell, when filling the foaming material into the cavity formed by the door shell and the inner liner, the foaming material is likely to flow out from the splicing gaps of the door shell during the filling and expansion process, and the foaming material after the expansion and curing process is prone to situations such as depression or hollowing, thus affecting the filling effect of the foaming material in the cavity.

[0083] Moreover, since the door shell is usually formed by sheet metal processing such as bending metal plates, the two side walls of the door shell are prone to situations such as flanging or burrs with the upper and lower walls of the door shell, increasing the width of the splicing gaps between the two side walls of the door shell and the upper and lower walls of the door shell, further affecting the sealing performance of the cavity formed by the door shell and the inner liner.

[0084] Therefore, in the related art, a decorative plate can be provided on the door shell. The decorative plate can be inserted into the splicing gap of the door shell. At least part of the decorative plate is located in the cavity, and part of the decorative plate is located outside the cavity. At least part of the decorative plate is arranged between the side wall and the upper wall of the door shell, or between the side wall and the lower wall, so as to block the splicing gap of the door shell through the decorative plate located outside the cavity, thereby improving the aesthetics of the door shell and improving the sealing performance of the door shell.

[0085] During the installation process of the decorative plate, usually the decorative plate is inserted into the splicing gap of the door shell. The first part of the decorative plate is located in the cavity formed by the door shell and the inner liner, and the second part of the decorative plate is located outside the cavity. Then, foaming material can be filled into the cavity formed by the door shell and the inner liner, so that the foaming material expands and cures in the cavity, thereby being able to play a certain fixing role on the decorative plate through the foaming material.

[0086] However, when filling the foaming material into the cavity formed by the door shell and the inner liner, the foaming material will come into contact with the first part of the decorative plate. When the foaming material expands and cures, the foaming material will squeeze and push the decorative plate, causing the decorative plate to be installed crookedly or protrude, etc. It is difficult to remove the decorative plate from the door shell, and the reinstallation process of the decorative plate is troublesome, which makes the installation process of the decorative plate complex and the assembly efficiency of the decorative plate low.

[0087] In view of this, in the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present application, the mounting seat is arranged in the cavity; the decorative panel is fixed to the door shell through the mounting seat. When the decorative panel is relatively fixed to the door shell through the mounting seat, the first part of the decorative panel is located in the cavity surrounded by the door shell and the inner liner, and the first part of the decorative panel can be relatively fixed to the mounting seat so that the decorative panel is relatively fixed to the door shell. When the decorative panel is relatively fixed to the door shell through the mounting seat, the second part of the decorative panel can be located outside the cavity surrounded by the door shell and the inner liner, and the second part of the decorative panel can be used to block the two side walls of the door shell and the splicing gap between the upper wall and the lower wall of the door shell.

[0088] When the two side walls of the door shell and the upper wall and the lower wall of the door shell show warping and other conditions, the edges of the two side walls, the upper wall and the lower wall of the door shell will be exposed. By arranging the decorative panel on the door shell, the edges of the two side walls, the upper wall and the lower wall of the door shell can also be blocked by the decorative panel, so as to reduce the possibility of the edges of the two side walls, the upper wall and the lower wall of the door shell being exposed, and further reduce the possibility of the door shell scratching the user's hand, thereby improving the safety of the refrigerator.

[0089] Moreover, compared with the related art, the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present application can first fix the mounting seat to the door shell, and then relatively fix the first part of the decorative panel to the door shell through the mounting seat. The second part of the decorative panel can be located outside the cavity surrounded by the door shell and the inner liner, so as to reduce the possibility of the decorative panel being installed crooked or protruding, and reduce the possibility of the foaming material directly contacting the decorative panel, making the reinstallation process of the decorative panel more convenient and improving the assembly efficiency of the decorative panel.

[0096] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0097] Referring to Figures 1-6 , an embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator, which includes a cabinet 10. The cabinet 10 includes a top and a bottom arranged along the length direction. A storage compartment can be formed inside the cabinet 10, and the storage compartment can include a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment to refrigerate or freeze store food materials by using the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment.

[0098] Exemplarily, the refrigerator may include a door body 20. The door body 20 can at least be used to open and close the storage compartment, and the door body 20 can be used to make the cabinet 10 form a relatively enclosed space, so that the storage compartment of the cabinet 10 can maintain a relatively constant temperature and reduce the rising speed of the temperature in the storage compartment.

[0099] The door body 20 may include a door shell 100. The door shell 100 may be formed by sheet metal working, so that the overall structure of the door shell 100 is more stable, and the outer surface of the door shell 100 is more beautiful, improving the overall aesthetic degree of the refrigerator.

[0100] The door shell 100 generally includes a front wall 110 facing the front side and side walls 120 facing the left and right sides of the door shell 100. One of the side walls 120 of the door shell 100 faces the left side of the door shell 100, and the other side wall 120 of the door shell 100 faces the right side of the door shell 100. The front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100 may be integrally formed by processes such as bending, so that the forming process of the door shell 100 is more convenient.

[0101] It should be noted that the left and right sides of the door shell 100 can be referenced from the perspective of facing the refrigerator. When the user stands in front of the refrigerator and observes the refrigerator, if the door body 20 is in the closed state, the front of the user is opposite to the front side of the door body 20. The left side of the user can be used to indicate the left side of the door shell 100, and the right side of the user can be used to indicate the right side of the door shell 100.

[0102] Exemplarily, the connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 facing the left side of the door shell 100 may be set as a left front edge. The side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the left side may be bent to form a left rear edge. The left front edge and the left rear edge are arranged along the thickness direction of the door body 20.

[0103] The connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 facing the right side of the door shell 100 may be set as a right front edge. The side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the right side may be bent to form a right rear edge. The right front edge and the right rear edge are arranged along the thickness direction of the door body 20.

[0104] During the formation of the door shell 100, a certain bending radius generally needs to be reserved at the connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and at the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. For example, the left front edge, the left rear edge, the right front edge and the right rear edge form an arc-shaped fillet structure, so that the connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is more smooth and natural.

[0105] The door shell 100 may include an upper wall 130 and a lower wall facing the upper and lower sides of the door shell 100. The front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 may be integrally formed by processes such as bending, so that the forming process of the door shell 100 is more convenient.

[0106] Exemplarily, the connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 may be set as an upper front edge. The upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 may be bent to form an upper rear edge. The upper front edge and the upper rear edge are arranged along the thickness direction of the door body 20.

[0107] The connection between the front wall 110 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 can be set as the lower front edge, and the lower wall of the door shell 100 can be bent to form a lower rear edge. The lower front edge and the lower rear edge are arranged along the thickness direction of the door body 20.

[0108] During the formation of the door shell 100, a certain bending radius usually needs to be reserved at the connection between the front wall 110 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and at the connection between the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100.

[0109] For example, the upper front edge, the upper rear edge, the lower front edge and the lower rear edge form an arc-shaped rounded corner structure, so that the connection between the front wall 110 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is more smooth and natural.

[0110] Exemplarily, the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100, as well as the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 are bent backward relative to the front wall 110 of the door shell 100. Since the door shell 100 is usually formed by sheet metal processes such as bending a metal plate, a splicing gap 140 will be formed between the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100. The splicing gap 140 extends backward from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100.

[0111] Among them, a first splicing gap 140 is formed between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the left, and a second splicing gap 140 is formed between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the right. A third splicing gap 140 is formed between the lower wall of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the left, and a fourth splicing gap 140 is formed between the lower wall of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the right.

[0112] One or more door bodies 20 can be provided for the refrigerator. The door body 20 is usually rotatably connected to the box body 10 through a rotating shaft to realize the opening and closing process of the door body 20, so that the storage compartment of the box body 10 can be opened and closed through the door body 20.

[0113] It is easy to understand that the rotating shaft can be arranged on the door body 20, and the rotating shaft of the door body 20 can be arranged on the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100. Or, the rotating shaft can be arranged on the box body 10, and the shaft sleeve 180 for installing the rotating shaft can be arranged on the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100. The rotating shaft can extend in the vertical direction, and the door body 20 can rotate relative to the box body 10 around the rotating shaft in the vertical direction.

[0114] The refrigerator can be set as an embedded refrigerator, which is a household appliance specifically designed to be embedded in kitchen cabinets or walls. The embedded refrigerator can save the installation space required for the refrigerator and can reduce the influence of structures such as cabinets during the process of the door body 20 rotating to open or close.

[0115] Exemplarily, the door shell 100 can form the main structure of the door body 20. One side of the door shell 100 facing the storage compartment of the box body 10 can be connected to the inner liner 200. The front wall 110 of the door shell 100 is arranged parallel and opposite to the inner liner 200, and the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200 can jointly enclose a cavity 30.

[0116] During the production process of the door body 20, foaming material can be filled into the cavity 30 enclosed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200, so that the foaming material expands and cures in the cavity 30, thereby being able to play a certain fixing role on the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200, and being able to play a certain heat preservation effect through the foaming material in the cavity 30.

[0117] It is easy to understand that due to the above-mentioned splicing gap 140 of the door shell 100, when filling the foaming material into the cavity 30 enclosed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200, the foaming material is likely to flow out from the splicing gap 140 of the door shell 100 during the filling and expansion process, and the foaming material after the expansion and curing process is prone to situations such as depression or hollowing, thereby affecting the filling effect of the foaming material in the cavity 30.

[0118] Moreover, since the door shell 100 is usually formed by sheet metal processes such as bending metal plates, the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100 are prone to situations such as flanging or burrs with the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100, increasing the width of the splicing gap 140 between the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100, and further affecting the sealing performance of the cavity 30 enclosed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200.

[0119] In some possible implementation manners, the door shell 100 can be provided with a decorative plate 400. At least part of the decorative plate 400 is arranged between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100, so as to block the splicing gap 140 between the side wall 120 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and between the side wall 120 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 through the decorative plate 400, thereby improving the aesthetics of the door shell 100 and being able to improve the sealing performance of the door body 20.

[0120] Moreover, when there are warping or other issues with the two side walls 120 of the door housing 100, as well as the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door housing 100, the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130, and the lower wall of the door housing 100 will be exposed. Since the door housing 100 is usually made of a metal plate structure. When the user pulls the door body 20 to rotate the door body 20 relative to the box body 10, the exposed edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130, and the lower wall of the door housing 100 are likely to scratch the user's hand, resulting in poor safety of the refrigerator.

[0121] By providing a decorative panel 400 on the door housing 100, it is also possible to block the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130, and the lower wall of the door housing 100 through the decorative panel 400, thereby reducing the possibility of the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130, and the lower wall of the door housing 100 being exposed. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the likelihood of the door housing 100 scratching the user's hand and improve the safety of the refrigerator.

[0122] Exemplarily, the refrigerator may include a mounting seat 300. The mounting seat 300 may be fixedly relative to the door housing 100, and the mounting seat 300 may be disposed in the cavity 30 formed by the door housing 100 and the inner liner 200. The mounting seat 300 may be used to connect the decorative panel 400, such that the decorative panel 400 can be fixedly connected to the door housing 100 of the refrigerator through the mounting seat 300.

[0123] When the decorative panel 400 is fixedly relative to the door housing 100 through the mounting seat 300, a first portion of the decorative panel 400 is located in the cavity 30 formed by the door housing 100 and the inner liner 200. The first portion of the decorative panel 400 may be fixedly relative to the mounting seat 300 to make the decorative panel 400 fixedly relative to the door housing 100.

[0124] When the decorative panel 400 is fixedly relative to the door housing 100 through the mounting seat 300, a second portion of the decorative panel 400 may be located outside the cavity 30 formed by the door housing 100 and the inner liner 200. The second portion of the decorative panel 400 may be used to block the splicing gap 140 between the side wall 120 and the front wall 110.

[0125] For example, the second portion of the decorative panel 400 may be used to abut against the upper top surface of the side wall 120 of the door housing 100. The second portion of the decorative panel 400 may be used to abut against the side surface of the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door housing 100, so that the decorative panel 400 can block the splicing gap 140 of the door housing 100.

[0126] Exemplarily, on one door housing 100, the number of decorative panels 400 may be set to one or more. For example, the number of decorative panels 400 may be the same as the number of splicing gaps 140 on the door housing 100, and each splicing gap 140 can be blocked or covered by one decorative panel 400.

[0127] Each decorative panel 400 can be fixed to the door shell 100 through a mounting base 300, and the mounting base 300 is arranged close to the corresponding splicing gap 140. Alternatively, several decorative panels 400 can be fixed to the door shell 100 through one mounting base 300, so as to reduce the number of mounting bases 300.

[0128] For example, when there are a first splicing gap 140, a second splicing gap 140, a third splicing gap 140, and a fourth splicing gap 140 in the door shell 100, the number of decorative panels 400 can be set to four. The four decorative panels 400 can include a first decorative panel 400, a second decorative panel 400, a third decorative panel 400, and a fourth decorative panel 400, so as to correspondingly block and cover the above four splicing gaps 140 through the above four decorative panels 400.

[0129] The number of mounting bases 300 can be set to four. The four mounting bases 300 can include a first mounting base 300, a second mounting base 300, a third mounting base 300, and a fourth mounting base 300, so as to correspondingly connect the four decorative panels 400 through the above four mounting bases 300.

[0130] Among them, the first decorative panel 400 can be used to block and cover the first splicing gap 140. The first part of the first decorative panel 400 is fixedly connected to the door shell 100 through the first mounting base 300. The second part of the first decorative panel 400 can abut against the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the second part of the first decorative panel 400 can abut against the left side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0131] The second decorative panel 400 can be used to block and cover the second splicing gap 140. The first part of the second decorative panel 400 is fixedly connected to the door shell 100 through the second mounting base 300. The second part of the second decorative panel 400 can abut against the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the second part of the second decorative panel 400 can abut against the right side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0132] The third decorative panel 400 can be used to block and cover the third splicing gap 140. The first part of the third decorative panel 400 is fixedly connected to the door shell 100 through the third mounting base 300. The second part of the third decorative panel 400 can abut against the lower wall of the door shell 100, and the second part of the third decorative panel 400 can abut against the left side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0133] The fourth decorative panel 400 can be used to block and cover the fourth splicing gap 140. The first part of the fourth decorative panel 400 is fixedly connected to the door shell 100 through the fourth mounting base 300. The second part of the fourth decorative panel 400 can abut against the lower wall of the door shell 100, and the second part of the fourth decorative panel 400 can abut against the right side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0134] It is easily understandable that one or more of the first decorative plate 400, the second decorative plate 400, the third decorative plate 400, and the fourth decorative plate 400 can be provided on the door shell 100. The number and position of the decorative plates 400 can be determined according to the actual use of the door body 20.

[0135] For example, when the refrigerator is set as a cross-opening refrigerator, the third decorative plate 400 and the fourth decorative plate 400 can be provided on the upper door shell 100, and the first decorative plate 400 and the second decorative plate 400 can be provided on the lower door shell 100, so that the positions that are more easily noticed by the user can be blocked by the decorative plates 400, and other splicing gaps 140 of the door shell 100 can be blocked by other means.

[0136] In some possible embodiments, the mounting seat 300 can be fixedly connected to the door shell 100 to make the connection between the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100 more stable and reduce the possibility of loosening between the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100.

[0137] The mounting seat 300 is relatively fixed to the door shell 100, and the mounting seat 300 is located in the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200. The mounting seat 300 abuts against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the mounting portion abuts against the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100, and the mounting seat 300 is close to the splicing gap 140 of the door shell 100.

[0138] Referring to Figures 7-10 below, taking the lower door shell 100 among the multiple door shells 100 of the refrigerator set as a cross-opening refrigerator as an example, the installation method between the mounting seat 300 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the door shell 100 will be described.

[0139] Exemplarily, when the mounting seat 300 is relatively fixed to the door shell 100, the mounting seat 300 is located in the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200. The mounting seat 300 abuts against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the mounting portion abuts against the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the mounting seat 300 is close to the splicing gap 140 of the door shell 100.

[0140] The mounting seat 300 can be slidably mounted on the door shell 100. For example, when the mounting seat 300 is not fixed to the door shell 100, the mounting seat 300 can be slidably arranged relative to the door shell 100 in the vertical direction to make the installation process of the mounting seat 300 more convenient.

[0141] The mounting seat 300 can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 so that the mounting seat 300 can slide in the vertical direction along the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the mounting seat 300 can move from bottom to top to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can contact the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. Then the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100 can be relatively fixed through the connecting structure, thereby realizing the installation process of the mounting seat 300, making the fixing process of the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100 more convenient.

[0142] In some possible embodiments, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 may be provided with a bent structure 121. The bent structure 121 can be used to abut against the mounting seat 300. The bent structure 121 is combined with the door shell 100 to limit the sliding process of the mounting seat 300 to a certain extent, making the process of the mounting seat 300 sliding in the vertical direction smoother and more stable.

[0143] Exemplarily, the bending structure 121 can be arranged on the rear side of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, at least part of the bending structure 121 can extend toward the inner side of the door shell 100, and the part of the bending structure 121 facing the inner side of the door shell 100 can be set as the first part of the bending structure 121, and the first part of the bending structure 121 can be abutted against the mounting seat 300.

[0144] The first part of the bending structure 121 is arranged parallel to and opposite to the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, and the first part of the bending structure 121 abuts against the surface of the mounting seat 300 facing the rear side of the box body 10, and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 abuts against the surface of the mounting seat 300 facing the front side of the box body 10, so as to play a certain limiting role in the sliding process of the mounting seat 300 through the first part of the bending structure 121 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100.

[0145] The bending structure 121 may further include a second portion, which is disposed at an end of the first portion of the bending structure 121 that faces away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The second portion of the bending structure 121 may extend toward the front side of the housing 10. The second portion of the bending structure 121 may be configured to abut against a surface of the mounting base 300 that faces away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby limiting the sliding movement of the mounting base 300 via the second portion of the bending structure 121 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0146] For example, the vertical direction can be set as the first direction (i.e., the y direction), the horizontal direction parallel to the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 can be set as the second direction (i.e., the x direction), and the horizontal direction perpendicular to the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 can be set as the third direction (i.e., the z direction). The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are set perpendicular to each other.

[0147] The extending directions of the left front edge, the left rear edge, the right front edge, and the lower right rear edge may be arranged parallel to the first direction. The extending directions of the upper front edge, the upper rear edge, the lower front edge, and the lower rear edge may be arranged parallel to the second direction. The extending directions of the first splicing gap 140, the second splicing gap 140, the third splicing gap 140, and the fourth splicing gap 140 may be arranged parallel to the third direction.

[0148] When the mounting seat 300 slides along the first direction towards the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, in the second direction, the second part of the bending structure 121 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 respectively abut against both sides of the mounting seat 300 along the second direction, so that the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the second direction can be restricted by the second part of the bending structure 121 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0149] When the mounting seat 300 slides along the first direction towards the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, in the third direction, the first part of the bending structure 121 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 respectively abut against both sides of the mounting seat 300 along the third direction, so that the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the third direction can be restricted by the first part of the bending structure 121 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100.

[0150] It is easy to understand that when the mounting seat 300 slides along the first direction towards the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the bending structure 121, the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can restrict the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the second direction and the third direction, making the sliding process of the mounting seat 300 along the first direction more stable and reducing the possibility of the mounting seat 300 being offset.

[0151] Moreover, when the top end of the mounting seat 300 contacts the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can restrict the upward movement of the mounting seat 300 along the first direction, and the bending structure 121, the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can restrict the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the second direction and the third direction.

[0152] The mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100 can be connected through a connecting structure, so that the mounting seat 300 can be fixed to the door shell 100 in the first direction through the connecting structure. The bending structure 121, the door shell 100, and the connecting structure can restrict the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction, reducing the possibility of the mounting seat 300 moving.

[0153] The first and second portions of the bending structure 121 can be formed using a sheet metal process, thereby making the connection between the bending structure 121 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 more stable. A left rear edge is formed between the bending structure 121 on the left side of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing left, and a right rear edge is formed between the bending structure 121 on the right side of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing right.

[0154] It is easy to understand that the first part and the second part of the bending structure 121 can be formed by sheet metal processing, so that the bending structure 121 can be formed together with the door shell 100 in one processing process, thereby eliminating the need to add additional processing steps for the bending structure 121, making the molding process of the door shell 100 more convenient, thereby improving the molding efficiency of the door shell 100.

[0155] It should be noted that the bending structure 121 can be provided on the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100 .

[0156] The first part of the bending structure 121 is arranged parallel to and opposite to the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, and the first part of the bending structure 121 abuts against the surface of the mounting seat 300 facing the rear side of the box body 10, and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 abuts against the surface of the mounting seat 300 facing the front side of the box body 10, so as to play a certain limiting role in the sliding process of the mounting seat 300 through the first part of the bending structure 121 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100.

[0157] The bending structure 121 may further include a second portion, which is disposed at an end of the first portion of the bending structure 121 that faces away from the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100. The second portion of the bending structure 121 may extend toward the front side of the housing 10, and the second portion of the bending structure 121 may be configured to abut against a surface of the mounting base 300 that faces away from the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100, thereby limiting the sliding movement of the mounting base 300 via the second portion of the bending structure 121 and the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100.

[0158] When the mounting seat 300 slides along the second direction toward the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, in the first direction, the second part of the bending structure 121 and the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100 respectively abut against the two sides of the mounting seat 300 along the second direction, thereby constraining the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the second direction by the second part of the bending structure 121 and the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100.

[0159] When the mounting base 300 slides along the first direction towards the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, in the third direction, the first part of the bending structure 121 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 are respectively abutted against both sides of the mounting base 300 along the third direction, so that the movement of the mounting base 300 in the third direction can be restricted by the first part of the bending structure 121 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100.

[0160] It is easy to understand that when the mounting base 300 slides along the second direction towards the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the bending structure 121, the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100 can restrict the movement of the mounting base 300 in the first direction and the third direction, making the sliding process of the mounting base 300 along the second direction more stable and reducing the possibility of the mounting base 300 being displaced.

[0161] Moreover, when the mounting base 300 is in contact with the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can restrict the movement of the mounting base 300 along the second direction, and the bending structure 121, the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can restrict the movement of the mounting base 300 in the first direction and the third direction.

[0162] The mounting base 300 can be connected to the door shell 100 through a connecting structure, so that the mounting base 300 can be fixed to the door shell 100 in the first direction through the connecting structure. The bending structure 121, the door shell 100 and the connecting structure can restrict the movement of the mounting base 300 in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction, reducing the possibility of the mounting base 300 moving.

[0163] In some possible implementation manners, in the lower door shell 100 among multiple door shells 100, the number of mounting bases 300 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be set to two. One mounting base 300 is close to the left side of the door shell 100, and the other mounting base 300 is close to the right side of the door shell 100. The two mounting bases 300 can be respectively used to block and cover a splicing gap 140.

[0164] In the lower door shell 100 among multiple door shells 100, the number of mounting bases 300 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be set to one. The first end of the mounting base 300 is close to the left side of the door shell 100, and the second end of the mounting base 300 is close to the right side of the door shell 100. The first end and the second end of the mounting base 300 can be respectively used to block and cover a splicing gap 140 to reduce the number of mounting bases 300.

[0165] Exemplarily, the rotating shaft can be arranged on the door body 20, and the rotating shaft of the door body 20 can be arranged on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The mounting seat 300 can be provided with a mounting groove 390, and the mounting groove 390 can be used to accommodate the rotating shaft of the door body 20, so that the rotating shaft of the door body 20 can pass through the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and can be rotatably connected to the box body 10.

[0166] Alternatively, the rotating shaft can be arranged on the box body 10, and the shaft sleeve 180 for mounting the rotating shaft can be arranged on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The mounting seat 300 can be provided with a mounting groove 390, and the mounting groove 390 can be used to accommodate the shaft sleeve 180 of the door body 20, so that the shaft sleeve 180 of the door body 20 can pass through the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and can be rotatably connected to the rotating shaft arranged on the box body 10.

[0167] It is easy to understand that since the door shell 100 can be formed by bending a metal plate, the thickness of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 is relatively small compared to the length of the rotating shaft and the length of the shaft sleeve 180. In the vertical direction, the fixing effect of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 on the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180 is limited. When the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180 are fixed only by the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180 may deflect and tilt, etc., thus affecting the normal rotation of the door body 20.

[0168] In the embodiment of the present application, the mounting seat 300 is provided with a mounting groove 390. The rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 can be relatively fixed to the mounting seat 300 through the mounting groove 390, so that the installation of the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180 is more stable, and the mounting seat 300 can fix the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 through the mounting groove 390, making the function of the mounting seat 300 more abundant.

[0169] Exemplarily, the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 arranged in the mounting groove 390 can be relatively fixed to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, so as to make the installation of the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180 more stable and reduce the possibility of the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180 shaking relative to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0170] When the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 arranged in the mounting groove 390 is relatively fixed to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 can also be relatively fixed to the mounting seat 300, so that the mounting seat 300 can be relatively fixed to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 arranged in the mounting groove 390, thereby making the fixing process of the mounting seat 300 more convenient.

[0171] During the installation process of the mounting base 300, the mounting base 300 can slide vertically along the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, enabling the mounting base 300 to move upward from the bottom to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The upper top surface of the mounting base 300 can come into contact with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. Then, the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 can be fixed in the mounting groove 390, and the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 can be fixed to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, so that the mounting base 300 and the door shell 100 can be relatively fixed through the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180, realizing the installation process of the mounting base 300 and the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180, and making the fixing process of the mounting base 300 and the door shell 100 more convenient.

[0172] Referring to Figures 7-10 , in some possible implementation manners, the door shell 100 and the mounting base 300 can be provided with a connection structure. The door shell 100 can be relatively fixed to the mounting base 300 through the connection structure to make the connection between the door shell 100 and the mounting base 300 more stable.

[0173] The connection structure can be configured as follows: The door shell 100 can be provided with a clamping groove 160, and the mounting base 300 can be provided with a clamping block 360. The clamping block 360 can cooperate with the clamping groove 160, and the mounting base 300 and the door shell 100 can be fixed through the cooperating clamping block 360 and clamping groove 160 to make the fixing process of the mounting base 300 and the door shell 100 more convenient.

[0174] During the installation process of the mounting base 300, the mounting base 300 can slide vertically along the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, enabling the mounting base 300 to move upward from the bottom to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The upper top surface of the mounting base 300 can come into contact with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The clamping block 360 located on the mounting base 300 can be inserted into the clamping groove 160 located on the door shell 100, thereby fixing the mounting base 300 and the door shell 100.

[0175] The clamping groove 160 can be provided on one or more of the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the lower wall of the door shell 100, so that the clamping groove 160 can be connected to the clamping block 360 of the mounting base 300.

[0176] It is easy to understand that both the front wall 110 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 are exposed on the outside of the refrigerator. When the clamping groove 160 is provided on the front wall 110 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the matching manner of the clamping groove 160 and the clamping block 360 will be exposed on the outside of the refrigerator, thus affecting the overall aesthetic degree of the refrigerator.

[0177] The snap-fitting groove 160 can be provided on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the lower wall of the door shell 100. For example, the snap-fitting groove 160 located on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be used to fix the mounting base 300 near the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The snap-fitting groove 160 located on the lower wall of the door shell 100 can be used to fix the mounting base 300 near the lower wall of the door shell 100.

[0178] Compared with the arrangement of the snap-in groove 160 on the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the snap-in groove 160 is arranged on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the lower wall of the door shell 100, which can reduce the possibility of the snap-in groove 160 being exposed to the outside of the refrigerator, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator, and can reduce the possibility of the snap-in block 360 detaching from the snap-in groove 160, so that the connection between the snap-in block 360 and the snap-in groove 160 is more stable.

[0179] Exemplarily, the engaging groove 160 may be provided in the bent structure 121. For example, the engaging groove 160 may be provided in the first portion of the bent structure 121, with the engaging groove 160 facing the rear side of the cabinet 10. When the door 20 is in a closed state, the bent structure 121 may be close to the cabinet 10 and fit in contact with the cabinet 10, thereby allowing the engaging groove 160 to be close to the cabinet 10, thereby reducing the possibility of the engaging groove 160 being exposed to the outside of the refrigerator.

[0180] The upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 may be provided with an inward folding structure 170. The inward folding structure 170 and the bending structure 140 may be located in the same plane.

[0181] The inward folding structure 170 located on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 is located on the side of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 away from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, and the end of the inward folding structure 170 away from the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 extends downward. The inward folding structure 170 located on the lower wall of the door shell 100 is located on the side of the lower wall of the door shell 100 away from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, and the end of the inward folding structure 170 away from the lower wall of the door shell 100 extends downward.

[0182] The clamping groove 160 can be provided in the inner folding structure 170. Taking the clamping groove 160 provided in the inner folding structure 170 located on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 as an example, the connection method between the mounting base 300 and the door shell 100 is described.

[0183] During the installation of the mounting base 300, the mounting base 300 can slide vertically along the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the mounting base 300 can move upward from the bottom to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The upper top surface of the mounting base 300 can contact the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The rear side of the mounting base 300 facing the box body 10 can contact the inner folding structure 170. The clamping block 360 located on the mounting base 300 can be inserted into the clamping groove 160 located on the inner folding structure 170, so as to fix the mounting base 300 and the door shell 100.

[0184] In some possible embodiments, the door body 20 may be provided with a handle groove 150. The user can pull or push the door body 20 to rotate relative to the box body 10 through the handle groove 150, making the opening and closing process of the door body 20 more convenient.

[0185] Exemplarily, in the lower door shell 100 among multiple door shells 100, the handle groove 150 can be provided on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The handle groove 150 can be recessed downward, and the extending direction of the handle groove 150 is parallel to the extending direction of the upper wall 130 or the lower wall.

[0186] In the upper door shell 100 among multiple door shells 100, the handle groove 150 can be provided on the lower wall of the door shell 100. The handle groove 150 can be recessed upward, and the extending direction of the handle groove 150 is parallel to the extending direction of the upper wall 130 or the lower wall.

[0187] Alternatively, the handle groove 150 can also be provided on the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. For example, if the rotating shaft of the door body 20 is provided on the left side of the door shell 100, the handle groove 150 can be provided on the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the right side. If the rotating shaft of the door body 20 is provided on the right side of the door shell 100, the handle groove 150 can be provided on the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the left side.

[0188] Taking the refrigerator as a cross-opening refrigerator and the lower door shell 100 among multiple door shells 100 as an example, the installation method between the mounting base 300 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the door shell 100 will be described below.

[0189] In some possible embodiments, the handle groove 150 can be provided on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0190] Exemplarily, the handle groove 150 can be provided independently. For example, a handle structure can be provided on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the handle structure can form the handle groove 150. The handle structure can be fixed to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 by means of snap connection or bolt connection. At least part of the handle structure is located in the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200, and the part of the handle structure located in the cavity 30 can extend downward.

[0191] By adopting the above technical solution, the independently provided handle structure can make the processing process of the handle structure more convenient, and the setting method of the handle structure is more diverse. The handle structure can be adjusted according to the actual use needs of users. When assembling the door body 20, the handle structure can be installed on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 so that at least part of the handle structure is located in the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200 to complete the installation process of the handle structure.

[0192] Then, the mounting seat 300 can be moved upward from the bottom to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can contact the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can also contact the handle structure located in the cavity 30. Thus, the handle structure can play a certain limiting role in the sliding of the mounting seat 300, reducing the possibility of the mounting seat 300 moving relative to the door shell 100 and making the connection between the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100 more stable.

[0193] Exemplarily, the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be recessed downward to form the handle groove 150. The inner wall of the handle groove 150 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be formed by a single bending process, making the forming process of the handle groove 150 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 more convenient and the structure of the handle groove 150 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 more stable.

[0194] When the mounting seat 300 is moved upward from the bottom to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can contact the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can also contact the inner wall of the handle groove 150 located in the cavity 30. Thus, the inner wall of the handle groove 150 can play a certain limiting role in the sliding of the mounting seat 300, reducing the possibility of the mounting seat 300 moving relative to the door shell 100 and making the connection between the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100 more stable.

[0195] It should be noted that the structure of the handle groove 150 can represent the part that can be used to place the user's fingers. For example, the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be provided with a protruding structure, and the protruding structure can protrude upward.

[0196] Exemplarily, in the third direction, the thickness of the protruding structure can be less than the thickness of the door body 20. Alternatively, the surface of the protruding structure facing the rear side of the door body 20 can have a certain distance from the rear side of the door body 20.

[0197] When it is necessary to pull or push the door body 20 to rotate around the box body 10 through the handle groove 150, the finger can press the surface of the protruding structure facing the rear side, so that the finger can pull the protruding structure to drive the door body 20 to rotate. The surface of the protruding structure facing the rear side can jointly form the handle groove 150 with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, that is, the rear side of the protruding structure can form the side wall 120 of the handle groove 150.

[0198] That is to say, the structure and shape of the handle groove 150 can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and the handle groove 150 can also be formed in cooperation with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 by means of a protruding structure or the like. The bottom surface of the handle groove 150 can be set as a part of the upper wall 130 that is recessed from the top surface of the door shell 100, or the bottom surface of the handle groove 150 can also be formed by the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The embodiments of the present application do not further limit this, as long as it can ensure that the handle groove 150 is used for the rotation of the door body 20, and / or the handle groove 150 can be used for the limit of the mounting seat 300.

[0199] In some possible implementation manners, a fixing member 151 can be provided on the bottom surface of the handle groove 150. The upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be relatively fixed to the mounting seat 300 through the fixing member 151, so that the connection between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300 is more stable, reducing the possibility of the mounting seat 300 moving relative to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and also making the fixation of the mounting seat 300 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 more convenient.

[0200] Exemplarily, the fixing member 151 can be set as a fixing bolt. The bolt head of the fixing bolt abuts against the bottom surface of the handle groove 150, the threaded section of the fixing bolt passes through the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the threaded section of the fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the mounting seat 300, so that the mounting seat 300 can be fixedly connected to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the fixing bolt.

[0201] The bolt head of the fixing bolt abuts against the bottom surface of the handle groove 150, which can reduce the possibility of the fixing bolt being exposed outside the refrigerator, further improving the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator.

[0202] During the installation of the mounting base 300, the mounting base 300 can slide vertically along the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the mounting base 300 can move upward from the bottom to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The upper top surface of the mounting base 300 can contact the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. Then, the fixing bolt can be passed through the opening in the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and then the fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the mounting base 300. The bolt head of the fixing bolt abuts against the bottom surface of the handle groove 150, thereby realizing the fixation of the mounting base 300 to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0203] Exemplarily, the fixing member 151 can be set as a connecting block, and the mounting base 300 can be correspondingly provided with a connecting slot. The connecting slot can be used in cooperation with the connecting block. The upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting base 300 can be fixedly connected through the mutually cooperating connecting block and connecting slot, so that the connection between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting base 300 is more stable, and the connection between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting base 300 is more convenient.

[0204] It should be noted that when the mounting base 300 is used to install the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 of the door body 20, the mounting base 300 can be fixed to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 of the door body 20. The mounting base 300 can also be relatively fixed to the mounting base 300 through the fixing member 151 located in the handle groove 150. The rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 is usually arranged outside the handle groove 150, so that the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 and the fixing member 151 are usually arranged along the thickness direction of the door body 20, so that the mounting base 300 can be fixed to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 at different positions, thereby making the installation of the mounting base 300 more stable.

[0205] When the mounting base 300 is not used to install the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 of the door body 20, the mounting base 300 can be relatively fixed to the mounting base 300 through the fixing member 151 located in the handle groove 150. That is to say, the mounting base 300 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 are connected through the fixing member 151, and the fixing member 151 is located in the handle groove 150, so that the fixing member 151 is not easily exposed outside the refrigerator, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator.

[0206] Taking the refrigerator as a cross-opening refrigerator and taking the door shell 100 located below among the multiple door shells 100 as an example, the contact relationship between the mounting base 300 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the door shell 100 is described.

[0207] In some possible implementation manners, when the mounting base 300 is relatively fixed to the door shell 100, the top surface of the mounting base 300 fits the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and at least part of the side surface of the mounting base 300 can fit the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0208] With such a setting, the mounting seat 300 can provide a certain supporting effect on the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, reducing the possibility of the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 being dented or bent, and reducing the possibility of the door shell 100 being deformed.

[0209] Moreover, when filling the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200 with foaming material, the mounting seat 300 can play a certain role in blocking the splicing gap 140 between the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, reducing the possibility of the foaming material flowing out from the splicing gap 140 between the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. Thus, the forming effect of the foaming material can be ensured, and the possibility of the foaming material extruding the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 during the expansion and curing process can be reduced.

[0210] It is easy to understand that in the related art, when the foaming material flows out from the splicing gap 140 between the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the foaming material will extrude the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, causing the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to be deformed, and the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 are prone to situations such as warping, so that the splicing gap 140 between the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is increased, affecting the sealing performance of the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200.

[0211] Exemplarily, the door body 20 may be provided with a handle groove 150. In the third direction, the handle groove 150 may be located in the middle of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, a part of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 may be located in front of the handle groove 150, and a part of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 may be located behind the handle groove 150.

[0212] There is a spaced arrangement between one end of the handle groove 150 facing the front side of the refrigerator and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, and a first partial cavity 30 is formed between the inner wall of the handle groove 150 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100. There is a spaced arrangement between one end of the handle groove 150 facing the rear side of the refrigerator and the rear wall of the door shell 100, and a second partial cavity 30 is formed between the inner wall of the handle groove 150 and the rear wall of the door shell 100.

[0213] The mounting base 300 is relatively fixed to the door shell 100. The mounting base 300 may include a first part, and the first part of the mounting base 300 may be located within the first part cavity 30. The mounting base 300 may include a second part, and the second part of the mounting base 300 may be in contact with the bottom surface of the handle groove 150. The mounting base 300 may include a third part, and the third part of the mounting base 300 may be located within the second part cavity 30. The mounting base 300 is in contact with the inner wall of the handle groove 150, so that the mounting base 300 can be limited to a certain extent in the third direction through the handle groove 150.

[0214] The first part of the mounting base 300 may be located within the first part cavity 30, and the mounting base 300 can provide a certain supporting effect on the first part cavity 30, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the first part cavity 30. The third part of the mounting base 300 may be located within the second part cavity 30, and the mounting base 300 can provide a certain supporting effect on the second part cavity 30, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the second part cavity 30.

[0215] When filling the foaming material between the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200, the mounting base 300 can provide a certain supporting and fixing effect on the inner wall of the handle groove 150, thereby reducing the possibility that the inner wall of the handle groove 150 is deformed by the extrusion of the foaming material, making the structure of the handle groove 150 more stable.

[0216] Exemplarily, the mounting base 300 may be provided with reinforcing ribs 380. The reinforcing ribs 380 may be disposed on the side of the mounting base 300 facing away from the door shell 100 to improve the stability of the mounting structure through the reinforcing ribs 380 and reduce the possibility of deformation of the mounting base 300.

[0217] The number of the reinforcing ribs 380 may be set to be multiple. The multiple reinforcing ribs 380 may be sequentially arranged in the second direction. It is easy to understand that the multiple reinforcing ribs 380 can provide a certain supporting effect on the overall structure of the mounting base 300, and the arrangement of the reinforcing ribs 380 can reduce the possibility of shrinkage and other conditions of the mounting base 300.

[0218] When filling the foaming material between the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200, the reinforcing ribs 380 can be in full contact with the foaming structure. By providing multiple reinforcing ribs 380, the contact area between the mounting base 300 and the foaming material is increased, the adhesion between the mounting base 300 and the foaming material is improved, the possibility of detachment between the mounting base 300 and the foaming material is reduced, and the installation of the mounting base 300 is made more stable.

[0219] In some possible embodiments, the mounting base 300 may include a first mounting structure facing the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100. The first mounting structure can be at least used to mount the rotating shaft or the bushing 180.

[0220] In the first mounting base 300 and the second mounting base 300, the first mounting structure can abut against the lower surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. In the third mounting base 300 and the fourth mounting base 300, the first mounting structure can abut against the upper surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100.

[0221] The shape of the first mounting structure can be set according to the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100 to increase the contact area between the mounting base 300 and the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100 through the first mounting structure, and improve the stability of the installation of the mounting base 300.

[0222] The upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be provided with a handle groove 150, and the shape of the first mounting structure can be the same as the shape of the handle groove 150, so that the first mounting structure can be closely attached to the inner wall of the handle groove 150, so as to play a certain limiting role through the inner walls of the first mounting structure and the handle groove 150 that cooperate with each other, and reduce the possibility of the first mounting structure moving.

[0223] Exemplarily, the mounting base 300 may include a second mounting structure facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The second mounting structure is fixedly connected to the first mounting structure to make the structure of the mounting base 300 more stable. The second mounting structure can be used to fix the decorative panel 400, and the second mounting structure can also be fixed to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through a foaming structure.

[0224] In some possible embodiments, the mounting base 300 can fix the inner liner 200 to make the function of the mounting base 300 more abundant. The inner liner 200 can be fixed to the door shell 100, and the inner liner 200 can also be fixed to the mounting base 300, so that the installation of the inner liner 200 is more stable and the possibility of the inner liner 200 detaching from the door shell 100 is reduced.

[0225] Exemplarily, a sliding block 210 is provided on the surface of the inner liner 200 facing the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, and a sliding groove 370 is correspondingly provided on the mounting base 300. The sliding block 210 and the sliding groove 370 can be used in cooperation.

[0226] The sliding groove 370 can extend in the vertical direction. The first end of the sliding groove 370 can be located at the top of the mounting base 300. The second end of the sliding groove 370 can be located below the first end of the sliding groove 370. The second end of the sliding groove 370 can be used to abut against the sliding block 210, so that the sliding block 210 can slide in the sliding groove 370 in the vertical direction, and the inner container 200 can be fixedly connected to the mounting base 300 through the cooperating sliding block 210 and sliding groove 370, so as to realize the positioning and fixation of the inner container 200 through the mounting base 300.

[0227] After fixedly connecting the mounting base 300 to the door shell 100, the inner container 200 can be installed on the rear side of the door shell 100, so that the sliding block 210 of the inner container 200 can slide in the sliding groove 370 of the mounting base 300 in the vertical direction, and the sliding block 210 can slide from the first end of the sliding groove 370 to the second end of the sliding groove 370, so that the inner container 200 can be prevented from moving relative to the mounting base 300 in the second direction through the cooperating sliding block 210 and sliding groove 370, making the installation process of the inner container 200 more stable.

[0228] Exemplarily, the mounting base 300 can be provided with a guiding groove 371, and the guiding groove 371 can communicate with the first end of the sliding groove 370. The guiding groove 371 can be used for the sliding process of the sliding block 210, making it easier for the sliding block 210 to slide into the sliding groove 370 and making the installation of the inner container 200 more convenient.

[0229] The guiding groove 371 can extend in the vertical direction, and the guiding groove 371 is located above the sliding groove 370. The top end of the guiding groove 371 is located on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the bottom end of the guiding groove 371 communicates with the first end of the sliding groove 370, so that the sliding block 210 can slide from the top end of the guiding groove 371 towards the bottom end of the guiding groove 371 and slide into the sliding groove 370 through the bottom end of the guiding groove 371.

[0230] The opening size of the top end of the guiding groove 371 is larger than the opening size of the bottom end of the guiding groove 371, so that the process of the sliding block 210 sliding from the guiding groove 371 into the sliding groove 370 is more convenient. Taking a plane perpendicular to the first direction as the cross-section, from the top end to the bottom end of the guiding groove 371, the cross-sectional area of the guiding groove 371 gradually decreases, making it easier for the sliding block 210 to slide into the sliding groove 370 in the guiding groove 371.

[0231] By adopting the above technical solution, after the mounting base 300 is fixedly connected to the door shell 100, the inner container 200 can be installed on the rear side of the door shell 100, so that the sliding block 210 of the inner container 200 can slide from the top end of the guiding groove 371 towards the bottom end of the guiding groove 371, thereby enabling the sliding block 210 to slide from the bottom end of the guiding groove 371 into the sliding groove 370, making the process of the sliding block 210 entering the sliding groove 370 smoother and reducing the installation difficulty of the inner container 200.

[0232] Referring to Figures 11-17 , in some possible implementation manners, the decorative plate 400 may include a crimping member 420. The crimping member 420 can block the splicing gap 140. The crimping member 420 abuts against the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100, and the crimping member 420 abuts against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The decorative plate 400 near the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can block the splicing gap 140 between the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the crimping member 420, and the decorative plate 400 near the lower wall of the door shell 100 can block the splicing gap 140 between the lower wall and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the crimping member 420.

[0233] Exemplarily, the decorative plate 400 may include a plug-in member 410. The first end of the plug-in member 410 is fixedly connected to the crimping member 420, and the second end of the plug-in member 410 can extend into the cavity 30 through the splicing gap 140. The plug-in member 410 is detachably connected to the mounting base 300, so that the decorative plate 400 can be fixedly connected to the door shell 100 through the plug-in member 410, making the installation process of the decorative plate 400 more convenient.

[0234] By adopting the above technical solution, when the decorative plate 400 is relatively fixed to the door shell 100 through the mounting base 300, the plug-in member 410 of the decorative plate 400 can pass through the splicing gap 140 and be disposed in the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, so that the plug-in member 410 can be relatively fixed to the mounting base 300, enabling the decorative plate 400 to be relatively fixed to the door shell 100 through the plug-in member 410. When the decorative plate 400 is relatively fixed to the door shell 100 through the mounting base 300, the crimping member 420 of the decorative plate 400 can be located outside the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, and the crimping member 420 can be used to block the splicing gap 140 between the side wall 120 and the upper wall 130, and between the side wall 120 and the lower wall.

[0235] When the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 have warping or other conditions, the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 will be exposed. By providing a decorative plate 400 on the door shell 100, the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 can also be blocked by the crimping member 420 of the decorative plate 400, thereby reducing the possibility of the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 being exposed, and further reducing the possibility of the door shell 100 scratching the user's hand and improving the safety of the refrigerator.

[0236] Moreover, compared with the related art, the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present application can first fix the mounting seat 300 to the door shell 100, and then relatively fix the plug-in member 410 of the decorative plate 400 to the door shell 100 through the mounting seat 300. The crimping member 420 of the decorative plate 400 can be located outside the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200, so as to reduce the possibility of the decorative plate 400 being installed crooked or protruding, and reduce the possibility of the foaming material directly contacting the decorative plate 400, making the reinstallation process of the decorative plate 400 more convenient and improving the assembly efficiency of the decorative plate 400.

[0237] When the door shell 100 has a first splicing gap 140, a second splicing gap 140, a third splicing gap 140 and a fourth splicing gap 140, the number of the decorative plates 400 can be set to four. The four decorative plates 400 can include a first decorative plate 400, a second decorative plate 400, a third decorative plate 400 and a fourth decorative plate 400 to correspondingly block and cover the four splicing gaps 140 through the above four decorative plates 400.

[0238] It is easy to understand that in the first decorative plate 400 and the second decorative plate 400, the crimping member 420 can be provided above the plug-in member 410. When the decorative plate 400 is relatively fixed to the mounting seat 300, the decorative plate 400 can be inserted vertically downward into the splicing gap 140 formed by the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, so that the plug-in member 410 of the decorative plate 400 can be inserted into the splicing gap 140 and relatively fixed to the mounting seat 300.

[0239] The crimping member 420 of the decorative plate 400 is located above the corresponding splicing gap 140, and the bottom of the crimping member 420 can be used to contact the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 having warping or other conditions. The side surface of the crimping member 420 can be used to contact the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 having warping or other conditions.

[0240] Alternatively, the crimping member 420 of the decorative panel 400 is located above the corresponding splicing gap 140. The bottom of the crimping member 420 can be used to contact the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 warping or the like. The bottom of the crimping member 420 can be used to contact the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 warping or the like.

[0241] In the third decorative panel 400 and the fourth decorative panel 400, the crimping member 420 can be disposed below the plug-in member 410. When the decorative panel 400 is relatively fixed to the mounting seat 300, the decorative panel 400 can be inserted vertically upward into the splicing gap 140 formed by the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the lower wall of the door shell 100, so that the plug-in member 410 of the decorative panel 400 can be inserted into the splicing gap 140 and be relatively fixed to the mounting seat 300.

[0242] The crimping member 420 of the decorative panel 400 is located below the corresponding splicing gap 140. The top of the crimping member 420 can be used to contact the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 warping or the like. The side of the crimping member 420 can be used to contact the lower wall of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the lower wall of the door shell 100 warping or the like.

[0243] Alternatively, the crimping member 420 of the decorative panel 400 is located below the corresponding splicing gap 140. The top of the crimping member 420 can be used to contact the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 warping or the like. The top of the crimping member 420 can be used to contact the lower wall of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the lower wall of the door shell 100 warping or the like.

[0244] Taking the refrigerator as a cross-opening refrigerator and taking the lower door shell 100 among multiple door shells 100 as an example, the installation method between the decorative panel 400 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300 will be described.

[0245] In some possible implementation manners, a plug-in groove 310 is formed between the mounting seat 300 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The plug-in groove 310 is at least used to accommodate the decorative panel 400 to make the connection between the decorative panel 400 and the mounting seat 300 more stable.

[0246] For example, in the first splicing gap 140 formed between the side wall 120 facing the left side of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the first decorative plate 400 can at least be used to block and cover the first splicing gap 140. The insertion part 410 of the first decorative plate 400 is inserted into the insertion slot 310 formed by the mounting seat 300 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the first decorative plate 400 can be fixedly connected to the door shell 100 through the first mounting seat 300.

[0247] Exemplarily, the mounting seat 300 can be provided with a concave structure that can face the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. When the mounting seat 300 is relatively fixed to the door shell 100, the concave structure can form an insertion slot 310 with the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0248] The insertion slot 310 has an opening, and the opening can be set as the splicing gap 140 between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, so that the insertion part 410 of the decorative plate 400 can be inserted into the insertion slot 310 through the opening. The first surface of the insertion part 410 can face the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the second surface of the insertion part 410 can face the concave structure, so that the insertion part 410 can be fixed through the matching concave structure and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, making the installation of the insertion part 410 more stable and reducing the possibility of the decorative plate 400 separating from the door shell 100.

[0249] It should be noted that in the related art, when filling the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200 with foaming material, the foaming material will come into contact with the first part of the decorative plate 400. When the foaming material expands and cures, the foaming material will squeeze and push the decorative plate 400, causing the decorative plate 400 to be installed crooked or protrude, etc., and the splicing gap 140 between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 will be exposed or even enlarged, thus affecting the heat preservation effect of the door body 20.

[0250] In the embodiment of the present application, the mounting seat 300 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 form an insertion slot 310. The decorative plate 400 can be inserted into the insertion slot 310, so that the mounting seat 300 can play a certain blocking role on the foaming material, reducing the possibility of the decorative plate 400 directly contacting the foaming material and reducing the possibility of the decorative plate 400 being installed crooked or protruding, etc.

[0251] Moreover, when the decorative panel 400 is installed crookedly or protrudes, etc., the plug-in member 410 of the decorative panel 400 can be withdrawn from the plug-in slot 310 between the mounting seat 300 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the decorative panel 400 can be disengaged from the mounting groove 390, thereby making the disassembly process of the decorative panel 400 more convenient, making the reinstallation process of the decorative panel 400 more convenient, and improving the assembly efficiency of the decorative panel 400.

[0252] In some possible embodiments, the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200 can be at least used to fill foaming material, so as to fill the cavity 30 with the foaming material, thereby being able to play a certain fixing role on the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200 through the foaming material, and being able to improve the heat preservation effect of the door body 20 through the foaming material.

[0253] Exemplarily, the mounting seat 300 can be provided with a blocking member 320. The first surface of the blocking member 320 can face the decorative panel 400, the second surface of the blocking member 320 can face the foaming material, and the blocking member 320 is at least used to isolate the decorative panel 400 and the foaming material, thereby reducing the possibility of contact between the decorative panel 400 and the foaming material, and making it easier for the plug-in member 410 of the decorative panel 400 to be taken out from the plug-in slot 310.

[0254] The blocking member 320 can be integrally formed with the mounting seat 300 to make the forming process of the blocking member 320 more convenient. Moreover, the blocking member 320 can be reused to support the mounting seat 300, thereby reducing the possibility of the mounting seat 300 having injection molding shrinkage or deformation, etc., and making the structure of the mounting seat 300 more stable.

[0255] When filling the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200 with foaming material, the foaming material will exert extrusion on the mounting seat 300 during the process of expansion and curing, making it easy for the mounting seat 300 to deform under the extrusion of the foaming material. By providing the blocking member 320 on the mounting seat 300, the blocking member 320 can be reused as the reinforcing rib 380 of the mounting seat 300, thereby being able to reduce the possibility of the mounting seat 300 deforming.

[0256] The blocking member 320 can be used to enclose the plug-in slot 310. The surface of the blocking member 320 facing the gap can be set as the first surface, and the surface of the blocking member 320 facing the gap can form the inner wall of the plug-in slot 310, so as to play a certain limiting role on the plug-in member 410 through the blocking member 320 and reduce the possibility of the plug-in member 410 moving within the blocking member 320.

[0257] The shape of the blocking member 320 can be adjusted according to the shape of the plug-in member 410. The surface of the blocking member 320 facing away from the mounting base 300 can be in contact with the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so as to reduce the possibility of the foaming material flowing from between the blocking member 320 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to the plug-in groove 310, and reduce the possibility of the foaming material contacting the plug-in member 410.

[0258] The number of the blocking members 320 can be set to one. Alternatively, the number of the blocking members 320 can be set to multiple, and the multiple blocking members 320 can be arranged in sequence, so as to reduce the possibility of the foaming material flowing into the plug-in groove 310 through the multiple blocking members 320.

[0259] Exemplarily, the number of the blocking members 320 can be set to two. The two blocking members 320 can be arranged at intervals in sequence, and a gap can be provided between the two blocking members 320 to accommodate part of the foaming material through the gap.

[0260] For example, the multiple blocking members 320 can include a first blocking member 320a and a second blocking member 320b. When the plug-in member 410 of the decorative panel 400 is arranged in the plug-in groove 310, the first blocking member 320a is closer to the plug-in member 410 than the second blocking member 320b, the second blocking member 320b is farther from the plug-in member 410 than the first blocking member 320a, the first blocking member 320a and the second blocking member 320b are arranged at intervals, and a receiving gap 321 is provided between the first blocking member 320a and the second blocking member 320b.

[0261] It is easy to understand that when filling the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200 with the foaming material, the first blocking member 320a and the second blocking member 320b can play a certain blocking role on the foaming material, and the surface of the second blocking member 320b facing away from the first blocking member 320a can contact the foaming material first.

[0262] When there is a gap between the second blocking member 320b and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the foaming material can enter the receiving gap 321 from the gap between the second blocking member 320b and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The receiving gap 321 can accommodate part of the foaming material, so that the foaming material will not flow directly to the first blocking member 320a. Thus, the flow rate of the foaming material towards the first blocking member 320a can be delayed through the receiving gap 321, and the possibility of the foaming material flowing to the first blocking member 320a can be reduced.

[0263] It is easy to understand that since the surface of the first blocking member 320a facing away from the mounting base 300 and the surface of the second blocking member 320b facing away from the mounting base 300 are usually in the same plane, when there is a gap between the second blocking member 320b and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, there will usually also be a gap between the first blocking member 320a and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0264] If there is no accommodation gap 321 between the first blocking member 320a and the second blocking member 320b, such that the foaming material can flow from the gap between the second blocking member 320b and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 towards the first blocking member 320a, the foaming material can more easily flow from the gap between the first blocking member 320a and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 into the insertion slot 310, thereby fixing the connector 410 to the foaming material and affecting the disassembly process of the decorative panel 400.

[0265] By providing an accommodation gap 321 between the first blocking member 320a and the second blocking member 320b, the accommodation gap 321 can accommodate part of the foaming material, reducing the possibility of the foaming material flowing from the gap between the first blocking member 320a and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 into the insertion slot 310.

[0266] Exemplarily, taking the cooperation mode of the first mounting base 300 and the first decorative panel 400 as an example, the connection mode of the mounting base 300, the decorative panel 400 and the door shell 100 will be described below.

[0267] In the vertical direction, the blocking member 320 can be provided in the middle of the mounting base 300. A part of the mounting base 300 can be located below the blocking member 320. An installation gap 350 can be provided between the surface of the mounting base 300 facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0268] The blocking member 320 can be provided in the installation gap 350. The blocking member 320 can divide the installation gap 350 into a first part and a second part. The first part of the installation gap 350 is located above the blocking member 320, and the first part of the installation gap 350 can form the insertion slot 310.

[0269] The second part of the installation gap 350 can be located below the blocking member 320. The second part of the installation gap 350 can be used to accommodate part of the foaming material to make the connection between the mounting base 300 and the door shell 100 more stable.

[0270] It is easy to understand that when the foam material is filled into the cavity 30 enclosed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200, the foam material can flow into the second portion of the installation gap 350. The foam material in the second portion of the installation gap 350 can contact the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The foam material in the second portion of the installation gap 350 can also contact the mounting base 300. After the foam material in the second portion of the installation gap 350 expands and solidifies, the foam material can play a certain role in connecting the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the mounting base 300.

[0271] It should be noted that the mounting seat 300 can be provided with a protrusion, which can be arranged around the outside of the mounting gap 350. The surface of the protrusion facing away from the mounting seat 300 can be used to contact the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the protrusion can form a closed mounting gap 350.

[0272] In the installation gap 350 , the blocking member 320 can separate the installation gap 350 into two independent parts, and the first part of the installation gap 350 is located above the second part of the installation gap 350 .

[0273] The upper surface of the blocking member 320 and the protrusion can together enclose a first portion of the installation gap 350, and the first portion of the installation gap 350 forms the insertion groove 310. The first portion of the installation gap 350 has an upper opening, and the upper opening of the first portion of the installation gap 350 can be connected to the splicing gap 140 between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the plug-in component 410 of the decorative panel 400 can be inserted into the first portion of the installation gap 350 through the upper opening of the first portion of the installation gap 350.

[0274] The lower surface of the blocking member 320 and the protrusion can together form a second part of the installation gap 350, and the second part of the installation gap 350 has a lower opening. The lower opening of the installation gap 350 is connected to the cavity 30, so that the foaming material in the cavity 30 can flow through the lower opening to the second part of the installation gap 350, thereby fixing the mounting seat 300 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the foaming material located in the second part of the installation gap 350.

[0275] In some possible embodiments, the first mounting base 300 may include a first mounting structure facing the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The mounting base 300 may include a second mounting structure facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The second mounting structure is fixedly connected to the first mounting structure, and a mounting gap 350 is formed between the second mounting structure and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0276] On one side of the second mounting structure facing away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and on one side of the first mounting structure facing away from the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, they can both be used to enclose a cavity 30. On one side of the second mounting structure facing away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and on one side of the first mounting structure facing away from the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, they can be used to fill with foaming material to make the installation of the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure more stable.

[0277] Exemplarily, the second mounting structure can be provided with a diversion port 340. The first end of the diversion port 340 communicates with one side of the second mounting structure facing away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the second end of the diversion port 340 communicates with the second part of the installation gap 350.

[0278] The foaming material can flow through the diversion port 340 from one side of the second mounting structure facing away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to the second part of the installation gap 350, so as to increase the filling ratio of the foaming material in the second part of the installation gap 350.

[0279] When filling the cavity 30 enclosed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200 with foaming material, the foaming material located in the cavity 30 can flow through the lower opening to the second part of the installation gap 350, and the foaming material located in the cavity 30 can also flow through the diversion port 340 of the second mounting structure to the second part of the installation gap 350, so that the foaming material in the cavity 30 can more easily flow into the second part of the installation gap 350.

[0280] It is easy to understand that the second mounting structure can be provided with a diversion port 340. The lower surface of the blocking member 320 and the protrusion can jointly enclose the second part of the installation gap 350. The second part of the installation gap 350 can be set as a closed structure, so that the foaming material located in the cavity 30 can flow through the diversion port 340 of the second mounting structure to the second part of the installation gap 350.

[0281] It should be noted that when the number of the blocking members 320 is set to be multiple, the multiple blocking members 320 can be arranged in sequence. The blocking member 320 located at the uppermost position among the multiple blocking members 320 can be used to enclose the first part of the installation gap 350, and the blocking member 320 located at the lowermost position among the multiple blocking members 320 can be used to enclose the second part of the installation gap 350.

[0282] When the number of the blocking members 320 is set to be multiple, multiple accommodating gaps 321 can be formed between the multiple blocking members 320. The multiple accommodating gaps 321 are located between the first part of the installation gap 350 and the second part of the installation gap 350, so as to improve the blocking effect of the multiple blocking members 320 on the foaming material through the multiple accommodating gaps 321.

[0283] In some possible embodiments, the connector 410 of the decorative plate 400 may be interference-fitted with the inserting slot 310 of the mounting base 300. Compared to a connector 410 and an inserting slot 310 with a clearance fit, an interference-fit connector 410 and an inserting slot 310 can provide a more stable connection between the connector 410 and the inserting slot 310, thereby reducing the possibility of separation between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting base 300.

[0284] The connector 410 of the decorative panel 400 can also be engaged with the mounting base 300 through a snap-fit method, allowing the connector 410 and the mounting base 300 to be detachably connected. Furthermore, the connection between the connector 410 and the mounting base 300 is more convenient, making the assembly and disassembly of the decorative panel 400 more convenient. Furthermore, compared to the interference fit between the connector 410 and the insertion slot 310, the decorative panel 400 is secured to the mounting base 300 through a snap-fit method, making the connection between the decorative panel 400 and the mounting base 300 more stable.

[0285] For example, the connector 410 may be provided with a fixing block 411, and the mounting base 300 may be provided with a corresponding fixing slot. When the connector 410 is inserted into the insertion slot 310, the fixing block 411 may be inserted into the fixing slot, so that the decorative plate 400 and the mounting base 300 can be fixed together through the matching fixing block 411 and fixing slot.

[0286] The fixing slot can be provided in the second mounting structure. The fixing slot can extend through the thickness of the second mounting structure, i.e., the fixing slot can be configured as a through slot. At least a portion of the fixing block 411 can extend to the side of the second mounting structure facing away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby further stabilizing the connection between the fixing block 411 and the fixing slot and reducing the possibility of the connector 410 being disengaged from the insertion slot 310.

[0287] Alternatively, the fixing slot can be provided on the surface of the second mounting structure facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, that is, the fixing slot can be provided as a blind slot. The fixing block 411 is located on the surface of the second mounting structure facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the decorative panel 400 can be more easily disengaged from the fixing slot, thereby making the removal process of the decorative panel 400 more convenient.

[0288] For example, when the decorative panel 400 needs to be stably installed in the insertion slot 310 and the need for disassembly of the decorative panel 400 is relatively weak, the fixing slot can be set as a through slot to make the connection between the decorative panel 400 and the mounting seat 300 more stable.

[0289] When the decorative panel 400 may need to be disassembled and assembled multiple times, for example, when the position of the decorative panel 400 needs to be adjusted according to the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180, the disassembly requirement of the decorative panel 400 is relatively large. Then, the fixing card slot can be set as a blind slot to make the disassembly process of the decorative panel 400 more convenient.

[0290] It should be noted that setting the fixing card slot as a blind slot enables the insertion slot 310 to communicate with the outside only through the splicing gap 140 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the foaming material entering the insertion slot 310 through the fixing card slot, making the disassembly process of the decorative panel 400 more convenient and the reinstallation process of the decorative panel 400 more convenient.

[0291] It is easy to understand that the fixing block 411 can be arranged on the second installation structure of the mounting seat 300, and the fixing card slot can be arranged on the plug-in part 410. The fixing block 411 located on the second installation structure and the fixing block 411 located on the plug-in part 410 can be arranged in a mirror image of each other, and the fixing card slot located on the plug-in part 410 and the fixing card slot located on the second installation structure can be arranged in a mirror image of each other. As for the setting method of the fixing block 411 and the fixing card slot, reference can be made to the above text, and the embodiments of the present application will not be elaborated herein.

[0292] Exemplarily, in the first mounting seat 300 and the first decorative panel 400, the plug-in part 410 can be provided with a fixing block 411, and the mounting seat 300 can be correspondingly provided with a fixing head 330. When the plug-in part 410 is inserted into the insertion slot 310, the fixing block 411 can be located below the fixing head 330, and the fixing block 411 can be in contact with the bottom surface of the fixing head 330, so that the decorative panel 400 and the mounting seat 300 can be fixed by the cooperating fixing block 411 and fixing head 330.

[0293] It is easy to understand that when the plug-in part 410 is inserted into the insertion slot 310, the plug-in part 410 can drive the fixing block 411 to move downward in the vertical direction, so that the fixing block 411 can move from above the fixing head 330 to below the fixing head 330. When the pressing part 420 contacts the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the fixing block 411 can move to below the fixing head 330, so that the fixing block 411 can be in contact with the fixing head 330, thereby realizing the positioning and fixing of the plug-in part 410 in the vertical direction through the cooperating fixing head 330 and fixing block 411.

[0294] In some possible embodiments, the fixing block 411 can be disposed on the surface of the plug-in member 410 facing away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and one end of the fixing block 411 facing away from the plug-in member 410 can extend toward the mounting seat 300. The fixing head 330 can be disposed on the surface of the mounting seat 300 facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and one end of the fixing head 330 facing away from the mounting seat 300 can extend toward the plug-in member 410 so that the fixing head 330 can cooperate with the fixing block 411.

[0295] Exemplarily, the fixing block 411 can be set as an elastic fixing block 411 to make the moving process of the fixing block 411 from above the fixing head 330 to below the fixing head 330 more convenient.

[0296] The plug-in member 410 can drive the elastic fixing block 411 to move downward in the vertical direction, so that the elastic fixing block 411 can move from above the fixing head 330 toward below the fixing head 330.

[0297] When the elastic fixing block 411 is not in contact with the fixing head 330, at least part of the elastic fixing block 411 can be located directly above the fixing head 330; when the elastic fixing block 411 is in contact with the fixing head 330, the elastic fixing block 411 deforms, and the elastic fixing block 411 contracts toward the plug-in member 410; when the elastic fixing block 411 moves below the fixing head 330, the elastic fixing block 411 resumes its shape, and at least part of the elastic fixing block 411 can be located directly below the fixing head 330, thereby making the connection process between the elastic fixing block 411 and the fixing head 330 more convenient.

[0298] Exemplarily, the fixing head 330 can be set as an elastic fixing head 330 to make the moving process of the fixing block 411 from above the fixing head 330 to below the fixing head 330 more convenient. The plug-in member 410 can drive the fixing block 411 to move downward in the vertical direction, so that the fixing block 411 can move from above the elastic fixing head 330 toward below the elastic fixing head 330.

[0299] When the fixing block 411 is not in contact with the elastic fixing head 330, at least part of the fixing block 411 can be located directly above the elastic fixing head 330; when the fixing block 411 is in contact with the elastic fixing head 330, the elastic fixing head 330 deforms, and the elastic fixing head 330 contracts away from the plug-in member 410; when the fixing block 411 moves below the elastic fixing head 330, the elastic fixing head 330 resumes its shape, and at least part of the fixing block 411 can be located directly below the elastic fixing head 330, thereby making the connection process between the fixing block 411 and the elastic fixing head 330 more convenient.

[0300] Exemplarily, the fixing block 411 may be provided with a first guiding surface. The first guiding surface may be inclined, and the first guiding surface faces away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The first end of the first guiding surface is connected to the plug-in member 410, the second end of the first guiding surface extends upward, and the second end of the first guiding surface is farther away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 than the first end of the first guiding surface.

[0301] When the plug-in member 410 is inserted into the insertion slot 310, the plug-in member 410 can drive the fixing block 411 to move downward in the vertical direction. The first end of the first guiding surface can first contact the fixing head 330. During the process that the plug-in member 410 is gradually inserted into the insertion slot 310 in the vertical direction, the first guiding surface contacts the fixing head 330, so that the fixing head 330 can push the fixing block 411 to approach the plug-in member 410 through the first guiding surface.

[0302] When the fixing head 330 gradually contacts the second end of the first guiding surface from the first end of the first guiding surface, the fixing head 330 can be separated from the first guiding surface, so that the fixing block 411 can move below the fixing head 330, and the fixing block 411 abuts against the bottom surface of the fixing head 330, thereby realizing the insertion process of the plug-in member 410.

[0303] Exemplarily, the fixing head 330 may be provided with a second guiding surface. The second guiding surface may be inclined, and the second guiding surface faces the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The first end of the second guiding surface is located above the second end of the second guiding surface, the second end of the first guiding surface extends downward, and the second end of the first guiding surface is closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 than the first end of the first guiding surface.

[0304] When the plug-in member 410 is inserted into the insertion slot 310, the plug-in member 410 can drive the fixing block 411 to move downward in the vertical direction. The fixing block 411 can first contact the first end of the second guiding surface. During the process that the plug-in member 410 is gradually inserted into the insertion slot 310 in the vertical direction, the fixing block 411 can move from the first end of the second guiding surface towards the second end of the second guiding surface.

[0305] When the fixing block 411 moves from the first end of the second guiding surface to the second end of the second guiding surface, the fixing block 411 can be separated from the second guiding surface, so that the fixing block 411 can move below the fixing head 330, and the fixing block 411 abuts against the bottom surface of the fixing head 330, thereby realizing the insertion process of the plug-in member 410.

[0306] In some possible embodiments, the door body 20 may be provided with a handle groove 150. In the third direction, the handle groove 150 may be located in the middle of the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100. A part of the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100 may be located on the front side of the handle groove 150, and a part of the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100 may be located on the rear side of the handle groove 150.

[0307] There is a space between one end of the handle groove 150 facing the front side of the refrigerator and the front wall 110 of the door housing 100, and a first partial cavity 30 is formed between the inner wall of the handle groove 150 and the front wall 110 of the door housing 100. There is a space between one end of the handle groove 150 facing the rear side of the refrigerator and the rear wall of the door housing 100, and a second partial cavity 30 is formed between the inner wall of the handle groove 150 and the rear wall of the door housing 100.

[0308] The mounting seat 300 is fixedly arranged relative to the door housing 100. The mounting seat 300 may include a first part, and the first part of the mounting seat 300 may be located in the first partial cavity 30. The mounting seat 300 may include a second part, and the second part of the mounting seat 300 may be in contact with the bottom surface of the handle groove 150. The mounting seat 300 may include a third part, and the third part of the mounting seat 300 may be located in the second partial cavity 30.

[0309] Exemplarily, in the third direction, a part of the decorative plate 400 may be located on the front side of the handle groove 150, a part of the decorative plate 400 may be arranged opposite to the handle groove 150, and a part of the decorative plate 400 may be located on the rear side of the handle groove 150. In the third direction, the decorative plate 400 may extend from the front wall 110 of the door housing 100 to the rear side of the door housing 100, so as to be able to close the splicing gap 140 between the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 of the door housing 100 through the decorative plate 400.

[0310] For example, in the third direction, the first decorative structure 400a may be located on the front side of the handle groove 1, and the first decorative structure 400a can be used to block the splicing gap 140 located on the front side of the handle groove 150. The second decorative structure 400b may be arranged opposite to the handle groove 150, and the second decorative structure 400b can be used to block the splicing gap 140 arranged opposite to the handle groove 150. The third decorative structure 400c may be located on the rear side of the handle groove 150, and the third decorative structure 400c can be used to block the splicing gap 140 located on the rear side of the handle groove 150.

[0311] Among them, in the decorative plate 400, at least two of the first decorative structure 400a, the second decorative structure 400b and the third decorative structure 400c may be integrally arranged to make the structure of the decorative plate 400 more stable.

[0312] Alternatively, the first decorative structure 400a, the second decorative structure 400b, and the third decorative structure 400c can be set separately. The first decorative structure 400a, the second decorative structure 400b, and the third decorative structure 400c can be formed by splicing or other means, making the preparation process of each part of the decorative plate 400 more convenient.

[0313] It is easy to understand that the number of the fixing blocks 411 can be set to one, and the fixing block 411 can be arranged on one of the first decorative structure 400a, the second decorative structure 400b, and the third decorative structure 400c. The fixing slot and the fixing head 330 located in the second mounting structure of the mounting seat 300 can be correspondingly set to one, making the installation process of the fixing block 411 more convenient.

[0314] The number of the fixing blocks 411 can be set to multiple. The fixing slot and the fixing head 330 located in the second mounting structure of the mounting seat 300 can be correspondingly set to one or multiple, so that multiple fixing blocks 411 can all be fixed to the second mounting structure, enabling the connector 410 to be fixed to the second mounting structure through the multiple fixing blocks 411, and making the connection between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300 more stable.

[0315] The installation position of the fixing blocks 411 can be determined according to the areas of the first decorative structure 400a, the second decorative structure 400b, and the third decorative structure 400c. At least one of the fixing blocks 411 can be arranged on the one with the largest area among the first decorative structure 400a, the second decorative structure 400b, and the third decorative structure 400c, so as to improve the installation stability between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300.

[0316] For example, among the first decorative structure 400a, the second decorative structure 400b, and the third decorative structure 400c, the area of the first decorative structure 400a is the largest. At least one fixing block 411 can be arranged on the first decorative structure 400a, and the remaining fixing blocks 411 can be arranged on the second decorative structure 400b and the third decorative structure 400c.

[0317] Exemplarily, the number of the fixing blocks 411 can be set to multiple, and the first decorative structure 400a, the second decorative structure 400b, and the third decorative structure 400c are all provided with the fixing blocks 411. Then, the number of the fixing blocks 411 arranged on the one with the largest area among the first decorative structure 400a, the second decorative structure 400b, and the third decorative structure 400c is the largest, so as to improve the installation stability between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300.

[0318] It is easy to understand that when the bottom heights of the first part, the second part, and the third part of the mounting base 300 are the same, since the second part of the mounting base 300 is correspondingly arranged with the handle groove 150, the area of the second mounting structure corresponding to the second part of the mounting base 300 is the smallest, and the area of the second mounting structure corresponding to the second part of the mounting base 300 that can be used to connect the decorative plate 400 is also smaller, making it difficult for the second mounting structure corresponding to the second part of the mounting base 300 to connect the decorative plate 400.

[0319] Among the first decorative structure 400a, the second decorative structure 400b, and the third decorative structure 400c, the fixing block 411 can be arranged in at least one of the first decorative structure 400a and the third decorative structure 400c to increase the installation space of the fixing block 411, make the size of the fixing block 411 larger, so as to improve the installation stability between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting base 300 by setting a larger-sized fixing block 411.

[0320] For example, the number of the fixing blocks 411 can be set to two. One fixing block 411 can be arranged in the first decorative structure 400a, and the other fixing block 411 can be arranged in the third decorative structure 400c, so that the two fixing blocks 411 are respectively arranged in the first decorative structure 400a and the third decorative structure 400c with larger areas in the decorative plate 400, thereby improving the connection stability between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting base 300.

[0321] In some possible implementation manners, in the third direction, the height of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 opposite to the handle groove 150 can be set to be the same as the height of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 located in front of the handle groove 150, so that the forming process of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is more convenient and the structure of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is simpler.

[0322] Exemplarily, the tops of the second decorative structure 400b and the third decorative structure 400c can be set flush, and the second decorative structure 400b and the third decorative structure 400c can form a square structure, so that the forming process of the second decorative structure 400b and the third decorative structure 400c is more convenient and the structures of the second decorative structure 400b and the third decorative structure 400c are more stable.

[0323] When the connector 410 of the decorative panel 400 is inserted into the plug-in slot 310, the first decorative structure 400a can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 located on the rear side of the handle groove 150, the second decorative structure 400b can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 opposite to the handle groove 150, and the third decorative structure 400c can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 located on the front side of the handle groove 150, thereby being able to abut against the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the decorative panel 400.

[0324] For example, a fixing member 151 may be provided on the bottom surface of the handle groove 150. The upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 may be fixed relative to the mounting base 300 by the fixing member 151, so that the connection between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting base 300 is more stable, the possibility of the mounting base 300 moving relative to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 is reduced, and the fixing of the mounting base 300 to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 is more convenient.

[0325] The fixing member 151 can be configured as a fixing bolt. The bolt head of the fixing bolt abuts against the bottom surface of the handle groove 150, and the threaded section of the fixing bolt passes through the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The threaded section of the fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the mounting base 300, so that the mounting base 300 can be fixedly connected to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 via the fixing bolt.

[0326] Exemplarily, the fixing member 151 can be configured as a connecting block, and the mounting seat 300 can be correspondingly provided with a connecting slot, which can be used in conjunction with the connecting block. The upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300 can be fixedly connected by the connecting block and the connecting slot that cooperate with each other, so that the connection between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300 is more stable.

[0327] The decorative plate 400 may be provided with a shielding member 440. The shielding member 440 can at least be used to shield the fixing member 151 located at the bottom surface of the handle groove 150, so as to make the structure of the door body 20 more beautiful.

[0328] The shielding member 440 can be set on the outer surface of the second decorative structure 400b away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The shielding member 440 can be set at an angle. The first end of the shielding member 440 can be connected to the top of the second decorative structure 400b, and the second end of the shielding member 440 can extend inward in the direction away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0329] The second end of the shielding member 440 may be located below the first end of the shielding member 440. In the third direction, the length of the bottom surface of the shielding member 440 may be greater than the distance between the fixing member 151 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the shielding member 440 can completely cover the fixing member 151, thereby being able to shield the fixing member 151 through the shielding member 440 and being able to play a certain protective role for the fixing member 151 through the shielding member 440, reducing the possibility of the fixing member 151 being separated from the mounting seat 300 and making the connection between the fixing member 151 and the mounting seat 300 more stable.

[0330] Exemplarily, the shielding member 440 may be integrally provided with the second decorative structure 400b to make the structure of the decorative panel 400 more stable. The bottom surface of the shielding member 440 may be spaced from the bottom surface of the handle groove 150, or the bottom surface of the shielding member 440 may also be in contact with the top surface of the fixing member 151 so that the shielding member 440 can completely cover the fixing member 151.

[0331] In some possible implementation manners, the shielding member 440 may be provided with a shielding fixing member 441, and the handle groove 150 may be correspondingly provided with a shielding fixing groove 152.

[0332] The shielding fixing member 441 can be used in cooperation with the shielding fixing groove 152. The shielding fixing member 441 can be correspondingly inserted into the shielding fixing groove 152 to fix the shielding member 440 to the inner wall of the handle groove 150 through the cooperating shielding fixing member 441 and shielding fixing groove 152.

[0333] Exemplarily, the shielding fixing groove 152 may be provided on the bottom surface of the handle groove 150. When the decorative panel 400 is relatively fixed to the door shell 100 through the plug-in member 410, the plug-in member 410 is inserted into the plug-in groove 310, and the shielding fixing member 411 is inserted into the shielding fixing groove 152, so that the fixing member 151 located on the bottom surface of the handle groove 150 can be shielded by the shielding member 440, and the cooperating shielding fixing member 441 and shielding fixing groove 152 fix the shielding member 440 to the inner wall of the handle groove 150.

[0334] Refer to Figures 11-17 , in some possible implementation manners, when the decorative panel 400 is relatively fixed to the door shell 100 through the plug-in member 410, the plug-in member 410 is inserted into the plug-in groove 310, and the surface of the plug-in member 410 facing away from the mounting seat 300 may be in contact with the door shell 100, so that the contact between the decorative panel 400 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is more stable, thereby being able to reduce the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 being separated from the crimping member 420 of the decorative panel 400 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 having a warping edge.

[0335] It should be noted that since the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is usually formed by bending a metal plate through processes such as sheet metal working, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is prone to problems such as warping or burrs, making the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 liable to deflect towards the outside or the inside of the door body 20.

[0336] When the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 deflects towards the outside of the door body 20, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is likely to disengage from the crimping member 420 of the decorative panel 400, causing a new splicing gap 140 to appear between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the crimping member 420 of the decorative panel 400, thereby affecting the sealing performance of the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200, affecting the aesthetics of the door body 20, and deteriorating the sealing performance of the door body 20.

[0337] The surface of the plug-in member 410 facing away from the mounting seat 300 can be fitted to the door shell 100, and the plug-in member 410 can be closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. When the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 deflects towards the outside, the distance between the plug-in member 410 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is smaller, making it difficult for the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to disengage from the crimping member 420 of the decorative panel 400, thereby improving the sealing effect of the crimping member 420 of the decorative panel 400 on the splicing gap 140 of the door shell 100, improving the aesthetics of the door body 20, and improving the sealing performance of the door body 20.

[0338] Exemplarily, the mounting seat 300 can be provided with a pushing member. The mounting seat 300 can push the plug-in member 410 closer to the side wall 120 of the door body 20 through the pushing member, so that the plug-in member 410 can be closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby making it difficult for the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to disengage from the crimping member 420 of the decorative panel 400.

[0339] The plug-in member 410 can be provided with a pushing structure 412. The pushing structure 412 can face the mounting seat 300. One end of the pushing structure 412 facing the mounting seat 300 can expand and contract in a direction close to or away from the mounting seat 300, and one end of the pushing structure 412 facing the mounting seat 300 can abut against the mounting seat 300.

[0340] When the decorative panel 400 is relatively fixed to the door shell 100 through the plug-in member 410, the plug-in member 410 is inserted into the plug-in slot 310. One end of the pushing structure 412 facing the mounting seat 300 can be relatively close to the plug-in member 410, and the pushing structure 412 as a whole is in a compressed state. The pushing structure 412 in the compressed state can exert a thrust on the mounting seat 300, enabling the mounting seat 300 to exert a reaction force on the plug-in member 410 through the pushing structure 412, making the plug-in member 410 closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0341] The pushing structure 412 can be integrally formed with the connector 410 to facilitate the molding process of the pushing structure 412. The pushing structure 412 can be configured as a pushing bar, a first end of which can be connected to the connector 410, a second end of which can be connected to the connector 410, and a middle portion of which can protrude toward the mounting seat 300 so that the middle portion of the pushing bar can abut against the surface of the mounting seat 300 facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby enabling the connector 410 to apply a thrust to the mounting seat 300 through the pushing bar.

[0342] For example, the connector 410 may be provided with a clearance opening, and the push bar may be provided in the clearance opening, so that the push bar can be integrally formed with the connector 410 by injection molding or other methods, making the molding process of the push bar more convenient.

[0343] The first end of the push bar and the second end of the push bar can be arranged in a horizontal direction, thereby increasing the contact area between the push bar and the mounting seat 300, improving the pushing effect of the push bar on the mounting seat 300, and making the force between the push bar and the mounting seat 300 more uniform.

[0344] Exemplarily, the push bar may include a first connecting bar, a contact bar, and a second connecting bar.

[0345] The first connecting strip is arranged on the inner wall of the clearance opening, and one end of the first connecting strip away from the inner wall of the clearance opening extends toward the mounting seat 300 . The other end of the first connecting strip away from the inner wall of the clearance opening is connected to the contact strip.

[0346] The contact strip can extend in the horizontal direction, and the surface of the contact strip facing away from the connector 410 abuts against the mounting seat 300. The end of the contact strip facing away from the first connecting strip is connected to the second connecting strip. The second connecting strip is arranged parallel to the first connecting strip, and the end of the second connecting strip facing away from the contact strip is connected to the inner wall of the clearance opening.

[0347] The first connecting strip and the second connecting strip can be perpendicular to the plane where the connector 410 is located, thereby increasing the length of the contact strip, increasing the contact area between the contact strip and the mounting seat 300 , and improving the pushing effect of the pushing strip on the mounting seat 300 .

[0348] In some possible embodiments, the installation position of the pushing structure 412 can be determined based on the areas of the first decorative structure 400a, the second decorative structure 400b, and the third decorative structure 400c. At least one of the pushing structures 412 can be arranged on the one with the largest area among the first decorative structure 400a, the second decorative structure 400b, and the third decorative structure 400c to improve the pushing effect of the connector 410 on the mounting base 300.

[0349] Exemplarily, in the first decorative structure 400a, the second decorative structure 400b, and the third decorative structure 400c, the fixing block 411 can be disposed on at least one of the first decorative structure 400a and the third decorative structure 400c to increase the installation space of the fixing block 411, making the size of the fixing block 411 larger, so that the installation stability between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting base 300 can be improved by setting the fixing block 411 with a larger size.

[0350] For example, the number of the fixing blocks 411 can be set to two. One fixing block 411 can be disposed on the first decorative structure 400a, and the other fixing block 411 can be disposed on the third decorative structure 400c, so that the two fixing blocks 411 are respectively disposed on the first decorative structure 400a and the third decorative structure 400c with larger areas in the decorative plate 400, thereby improving the connection stability between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting base 300.

[0351] The pushing structure 412 can be disposed on the second decorative structure 400b. In the second direction, the front side of the pushing structure 412 can be connected to the third decorative structure 400c through one of the fixing blocks 411, and the rear side of the pushing structure 412 can be connected to the first decorative structure 400a through the other fixing block 411, making the process of the pushing structure 412 pushing the mounting base 300 more stable, the force between the mounting base 300 and the plug-in member 410 more uniform, and reducing the possibility of the fixing block 411 separating from the mounting base 300.

[0352] For example, when the fixing block 411 is disposed on the first decorative structure 400a and the pushing structure 412 is disposed on the first decorative structure 400a, when the pushing structure 412 applies a thrust to the mounting base 300, the fixing block 411 located on the first decorative structure 400a is likely to separate from the fixing slot or the fixing head 330, thus affecting the connection stability between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting base 300.

[0353] When the fixing block 411 is disposed on the first decorative structure 400a and the pushing structure 412 is disposed on the third decorative structure 400c, when the pushing structure 412 applies a thrust to the mounting base 300, the fixing block 411 located on the first decorative structure 400a approaches the fixing slot or the fixing head 330, and the third decorative structure 400c moves away from the mounting base 300 under the drive of the pushing structure 412, making the first decorative structure 400a relatively close to the mounting base 300 and the third decorative structure 400c relatively far from the mounting base 300, causing the overall decorative plate 400 to shift, thus affecting the sealing effect of the decorative plate 400 on the splicing gap 140 of the door shell 100.

[0354] Exemplarily, the tops of the second decorative structure 400b and the third decorative structure 400c can be set flush, and the second decorative structure 400b and the third decorative structure 400c can form a square structure.

[0355] The number of the pushing structures 412 can be set to a plurality, and the plurality of pushing structures 412 can be arranged at different positions of the decorative plate 400. The plurality of pushing structures 412 can be arranged on the second decorative structure 400b. In the third direction, the pushing structures 412 can be arranged between the fixed clamping blocks 411, so that the force on the plug-in member 410 and the mounting seat 300 can be more uniform, and the possibility of the decorative plate 400 being displaced can be reduced.

[0356] It is easy to understand that the number of the fixed clamping blocks 411 can be set to two. One of the fixed clamping blocks 411 can be arranged on the first decorative structure 400a, and the other fixed clamping block 411 can be arranged on the third decorative structure 400c. The height of the fixed clamping block 411 located on the first decorative structure 400a can be higher than the height of the fixed clamping block 411 located on the third decorative structure 400c, so as to improve the connection stability between the plug-in member 410 and the mounting seat 300 by the fixed clamping blocks 411 arranged at different heights.

[0357] The number of the pushing structures 412 can be set to two, and the two pushing structures 412 can be arranged on the second decorative structure 400b. The heights of the two pushing structures 412 can be set to be the same. Alternatively, the heights of the two pushing structures 412 can be set to be different, and the two pushing structures 412 can be arranged at intervals in the vertical direction.

[0358] Exemplarily, one of the pushing structures 412 can be at the same height as one of the fixed clamping blocks 411, and the other pushing structure 412 can be at the same height as the other fixed clamping block 411, so that there are multiple force-bearing relationships between the plug-in member 410 and the mounting seat 300, thereby making the cooperation between the plug-in member 410 and the mounting seat 300 more stable.

[0359] In some possible implementation manners, the number of the fixed clamping blocks 411 can be set to two, and the two fixed clamping blocks 411 can be set as a first fixed clamping block 411 and a second fixed clamping block 411.

[0360] Among them, the first fixed clamping block 411 can be arranged on the first decorative structure 400a, and the second fixed clamping block 411 can be arranged on the third decorative structure 400c. The height of the first fixed clamping block 411 can be higher than the height of the third fixed clamping block 411, so as to improve the connection stability between the plug-in member 410 and the mounting seat 300 by the first fixed clamping block 411 and the third fixed clamping block 411 arranged at different heights.

[0361] The number of the pushing structures 412 can be set to two. The two pushing structures 412 can include a first pushing structure 412 and a second pushing structure 412, and the first pushing structure 412 and the second pushing structure 412 are arranged on the second decorative structure 400b. The heights of the first pushing structure 412 and the second pushing structure 412 can be set to be the same.

[0362] Alternatively, the height of the first pushing structure 412 and the height of the second pushing structure 412 can be set to be different. The first pushing structure 412 and the second pushing structure 412 can be arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and the first pushing structure 412 can be located above the second pushing structure 412.

[0363] Exemplarily, the first pushing structure 412 can be at the same height as the first fixing block 411, and the second pushing structure 412 can be at the same height as the second fixing block 411, so that there are multiple force-bearing relationships between the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300, thereby making the cooperation between the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300 more stable.

[0364] It should be noted that compared with setting the fixing block 411 on the front side or the rear side of the decorative panel 400, by setting the fixing block 411 on the side of the decorative panel 400 away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the fixing block 411 can cooperate with the pushing member, making the mounting structure of the plug-in part 410 more stable.

[0365] In the third direction, the plug-in part 410 can be fixed to the mounting seat 300 through the fixing block 411. The plug-in part 410 can be abutted against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the pushing member, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can support the plug-in part 410. In the third direction, the force-bearing relationship among the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300 is more stable, making the connection among the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300 more stable.

[0366] Moreover, when the fixing block 411 is set on the front side or the rear side of the decorative panel 400, when the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 is provided with a handle groove 150, the setting position of the fixing block 411 will be interfered by the handle groove 150, so that the fixing block 411 usually cannot be set at the optimal mounting position, resulting in a poor fixing effect of the fixing block 411 on the decorative panel 400.

[0367] When the fixing block 411 is set at one end of the plug-in part 410 away from the crimping part 420, the size of the fixing block 411 is small, thus affecting the connection stability between the fixing block 411 and the mounting seat 300, and making the decorative panel 400 easy to be separated from the mounting seat 300.

[0368] However, when the fixing block 411 is arranged at one end of the plug-in part 410 away from the crimping part 420, in order to increase the size of the fixing block 411, it is necessary to increase the overall thickness of the plug-in part 410, resulting in an increase in the thickness and volume of the overall structure of the decorative plate 400. The structure of the decorative plate 400 becomes heavier and more complex, affecting the assembly process of the decorative plate 400 and the aesthetic degree of the decorative plate 400.

[0369] When the decorative plate 400 is arranged on the side of the door body 20 where the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 is located, the large thickness and volume of the decorative plate 400 will also affect the installation positions of the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180, making the positions of the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180 possibly adjusted due to the thickness of the decorative plate 400, affecting the overall layout of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0370] It can be seen that by arranging the fixing block 411 on the side of the plug-in part 410 away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, on the basis of ensuring the connection stability between the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300, the overall thickness of the plug-in part 410 and the decorative plate 400 can be reduced, making the width of the crimping part 420 of the decorative plate 400 located outside the cavity 30 smaller, and further reducing the aesthetic degree of the overall refrigerator.

[0371] Refer to Figures 18-22 , in some possible implementation manners, the plug-in part 410 may be provided with a relief groove 430. In the third direction, the relief groove 430 faces the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The relief groove 430 can at least be used to accommodate part of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 warps, resulting in a situation such as an air pocket being formed between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the plug-in part 410.

[0372] Exemplarily, the relief groove 430 may be arranged at one end of the plug-in part 410 close to the crimping part 420, and the bottom surface of the crimping part 420 can be used to enclose the relief groove 430. When the plug-in part 410 of the decorative plate 400 is inserted into the plug-in groove 310, the bottom surface of the crimping part 420 can abut against the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the relief groove 430 can be adapted to the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0373] It should be noted that since the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is usually formed by bending a metal plate through processes such as sheet metal working, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is prone to warping or burrs, etc., making the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 prone to offset towards the outside or the inside of the door body 20.

[0374] It is easy to understand that in order to increase the contact area between the crimping piece 420 and the top of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the bottom surfaces of the connector 410 and the crimping piece 420 are usually set vertically, and the bottom surface of the crimping piece 420 is usually set horizontally, so that the bottom surface of the crimping piece 420 can be more stably abutted with the top of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0375] When the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is not offset, the top end surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is usually arranged parallel to the horizontal plane, so that the top end surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be tightly fitted with the bottom surface of the crimping piece 420, so that the top end surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be covered by the crimping piece 420, reducing the possibility of the top end surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 being exposed.

[0376] The side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can fit with the surface of the connector 410 facing away from the mounting seat 300, making the fit between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the connector 410 more stable and reducing the possibility of the top of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 being separated from the bottom surface of the crimping part 420.

[0377] The side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can fit with the surface of the blocking member 320 facing away from the mounting seat 300, so that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can cooperate with the blocking member 320, so that the foaming material will not flow from between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the blocking member 320 into the plug-in groove 310, reducing the possibility of the foaming material contacting the connector 410 located in the plug-in groove 310.

[0378] When the top of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 deviates toward the outside of the door body 20, the joint gap 140 between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 increases, affecting the sealing of the cavity 30 enclosed by the door shell 100 and the liner 200. In addition, the top of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 may deviate to the outside of the bottom surface of the crimping member 420, and the top of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 may not contact the bottom surface of the crimping member 420, so that the crimping member 420 does not block the top of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, rendering the provision of the decorative panel 400 ineffective.

[0379] When the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 deviates toward the inner side of the door body 20, the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 abuts against the connection between the plug connector 410 and the crimping member 420. The top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is closer to the plug connector 410 than the other parts of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the other parts of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 may be separated from the plug connector 410 or the mounting base 300, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is prone to hollowing, thereby affecting the stability of the connection between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the decorative panel 400 and the mounting base 300.

[0380] Exemplarily, when the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 deflects towards the inner side of the door body 20, the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 contacts the bottom surface of the crimping member 420, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is more likely to disengage from the plug-in member 410, creating a gap between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the plug-in member 410. The side wall 120 of the door shell 100 will not support the plug-in member 410, and the pushing structure 412 provided on the plug-in member 410 will continuously apply a reaction force from the mounting seat 300 to the plug-in member 410, making it more likely for the plug-in member 410 to deform and the like.

[0381] When the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 deflects towards the inner side of the door body 20, the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 contacts the bottom surface of the crimping member 420, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is more likely to disengage from the surface of the blocking member 320 facing away from the mounting seat 300, creating a gap between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the blocking member 320. When filling the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200 with foaming material, the foaming material flows from between the blocking member 320 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to the plug-in groove 310, causing the foaming material to contact the plug-in member 410, thus affecting the disassembly and assembly process of the plug-in member 410.

[0382] Exemplarily, by providing a relief groove 430 in the plug-in member 410, the relief groove 430 can at least be used to accommodate part of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 warping and forming a hollow drum or the like between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the plug-in member 410.

[0383] When the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 deflects towards the inner side of the door body 20, the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 contacts the bottom surface of the crimping member 420, and the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 will also extend into the relief groove 430, thereby reducing the possibility of a gap being generated between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the plug-in member 410, enabling the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to abut against the plug-in member 410, and thus providing a certain supporting effect on the plug-in member 410. And it can reduce the possibility of a gap being generated between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the blocking member 320, thereby reducing the possibility of the foaming material flowing from between the blocking member 320 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to the plug-in groove 310 and reducing the possibility of the foaming material contacting the plug-in member 410.

[0384] In some possible implementation manners, the number of the relief grooves 430 can be set to one, and the relief groove 430 can extend from the front wall 110 of the door shell 10 to the rear side of the door shell 100, thereby being able to provide a left-right relief for the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the relief groove 430.

[0385] The number of the relief grooves 430 can also be set to be multiple. In the direction from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 to the rear side of the door shell 100, the multiple relief grooves 430 can be arranged at intervals in sequence. The interval distances between two adjacent relief grooves 430 among the multiple relief grooves 430 are set to be the same, so as to play a certain accommodating role in the side walls 120 of the door shell 100 at different positions through the multiple relief grooves 430.

[0386] Exemplarily, the thickness direction of the plug-in member 410 can be arranged parallel to the second direction, the depth direction of the relief groove 430 can be arranged parallel to the second direction, and the depth of the relief groove 430 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the plug-in member 410.

[0387] The depth of the relief groove 430 can be set to be greater than or equal to 30% of the thickness of the plug-in member 410 and less than or equal to 60% of the thickness of the plug-in member 410. For example, the depth of the relief groove 430 can be set within any proportional range of 30%-40%, 40%-50%, and 50%-60% of the thickness of the plug-in member 410, so as to ensure the accommodating effect of the relief groove 430 and the stability of the plug-in member 410.

[0388] It is easy to understand that when the depth of the relief groove 430 is less than 30% of the thickness of the plug-in member 410, the depth of the relief groove 430 is small, and the range for the relief groove 430 to accommodate the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is small. When the offset amount of the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 towards the inner side of the door body 20 is large, a part of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 may be located outside the relief groove 430, so that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 may be separated from at least one of the plug-in member 410 and the blocking member 320, affecting the use effect of the decorative panel 400.

[0389] When the depth of the relief groove 430 is greater than 60% of the thickness of the plug-in member 410, the depth of the relief groove 430 is large, and the thickness of the plug-in member 410 corresponding to the relief groove 430 is small, so that the plug-in member 410 is prone to have a small local thickness, and thus the connection part between the crimping member 420 and the plug-in member 410 in the decorative panel 400 is prone to bending and other situations, affecting the stability of the overall structure of the decorative panel 400.

[0390] The number of the relief grooves 430 can be set to be multiple. In the direction from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 to the rear side of the door shell 100, the multiple relief grooves 430 can be arranged at intervals in sequence. Some structures between the multiple relief grooves 430 can be used to support the plug-in member 410, so as to reduce the possibility of bending and other situations at the connection part between the crimping member 420 and the plug-in member 410 in the decorative panel 400 and improve the stability of the decorative panel 400.

[0391] Exemplarily, the depth of the relief groove 430 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to ensure that the relief groove 430 can accommodate the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 with sufficient thickness, thereby improving the accommodation effect of the relief groove 430.

[0392] The depth of the relief groove 430 can be set to be greater than or equal to the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and less than or equal to twice the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. For example, the depth of the relief groove 430 can be set within any proportional range of 1 times - 1.2 times, 1.2 times - 1.4 times, 1.4 times - 1.6 times, 1.6 times - 1.8 times, and 1.8 times - 2 times the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to ensure the accommodation effect of the relief groove 430 and the stability of the connector 410.

[0393] It is easy to understand that when the depth of the relief groove 430 is less than the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the depth of the relief groove 430 is small, and the range for the relief groove 430 to accommodate the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is small. When the offset of the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 towards the inner side of the door body 20 is large, part of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 may be located outside the relief groove 430, causing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to possibly separate from at least one of the connector 410 and the blocking member 320, affecting the use effect of the decorative panel 400.

[0394] When the depth of the relief groove 430 is greater than twice the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the depth of the relief groove 430 is large, and the thickness of the connector 410 corresponding to the relief groove 430 is small, making it easy for the connector 410 to have a locally small thickness, and thus making it easy for the connection between the crimping member 420 and the connector 410 in the decorative panel 400 to bend or the like, affecting the stability of the overall structure of the decorative panel 400.

[0395] Thus, it can be seen that when the depth of the relief groove 430 is small, the range for the relief groove 430 to accommodate the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is small, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 may separate from at least one of the connector 410 and the blocking member 320, affecting the use effect of the decorative panel 400.

[0396] When the depth of the relief groove 430 is large, the thickness of the connector 410 corresponding to the relief groove 430 is small, making it easy for the connector 410 to have a locally small thickness, and thus making it easy for the connection between the crimping member 420 and the connector 410 in the decorative panel 400 to bend or the like.

[0397] Therefore, the minimum value of the depth of the relief groove 430 can be determined according to the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the maximum value of the depth of the relief groove 430 can be determined according to the thickness of the connector 410.

[0398] Exemplarily, the depth of the relief groove 430 can be set to be greater than or equal to the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the depth of the relief groove 430 is less than or equal to 60% of the thickness of the connector 410, so as to ensure the accommodation effect of the relief groove 430 and the stability of the connector 410.

[0399] When the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is offset towards the inner side of the door body 20, the above method can reduce the possibility that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is located outside the relief groove 430, and can ensure the stability of the connector 410, reducing the possibility of the connector 410 being bent or the like.

[0400] In some possible implementation manners, the height of the relief groove 430 in the first direction can be greater than or equal to the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the height of the relief groove 430 in the first direction can be less than or equal to 3 times the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0401] For example, the height of the relief groove 430 in the first direction can be set within any proportional range of 1 to 1.4 times, 1.4 to 1.8 times, 1.8 to 2.2 times, 2.2 to 2.6 times, and 2.6 to 3 times the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so as to ensure the accommodation effect of the relief groove 430 and the stability of the connector 410.

[0402] It is easy to understand that when the height of the relief groove 430 in the first direction is less than the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the height of the relief groove 430 in the first direction is relatively small. When the offset amount of the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 towards the inner side of the door body 20 is relatively large, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 may abut against the inner wall of the bottom end of the relief groove 430, so that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 may be separated from at least one of the connector 410 and the blocking member 320, affecting the use effect of the decorative panel 400.

[0403] When the height of the relief groove 430 in the first direction is greater than 3 times the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the height of the relief groove 430 in the first direction is relatively large, and the setting of the relief groove 430 may affect the setting of the fixing block 411 and the pushing structure 412, thereby reducing the layout space of the fixing block 411 and the pushing structure 412.

[0404] By adopting the above scheme, taking the refrigerator as a cross-opening refrigerator and taking the door shell 100 located below among the multiple door shells 100 as an example, the installation method between the decorative panel 400 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300 will be described.

[0405] When the decorative panel 400 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 300 through the connector 410, the connector 410 of the decorative panel 400 can be inserted vertically into the splicing gap 140 of the door shell 100, so that the connector 410 can be inserted into the insertion slot 310, and the fixed block 411 of the connector 410 can be fixed to the fixed card slot or the fixed head 330 of the mounting base 300, so that the connector 410 can be fixed to the mounting base 300.

[0406] Moreover, the pushing structure 412 of the connector 410 can be in a compressed state, so that the pushing structure 412 can transfer the reaction force from the mounting base 300 to the connector 410, so that the surface of the connector 410 facing away from the mounting base 300 abuts against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can play a certain supporting role for the connector 410, making the installation of the decorative panel 400 more stable, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be in contact with the bottom surface of the crimping member 420, so as to block the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the crimping member 420.

[0407] The blocking member 320 located on the mounting base 300 can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so as to reduce the possibility of the foaming material entering the insertion slot 310 through the blocking member 320. When the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 deflects towards the inner side of the door body 20, the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be located in the receiving groove, so that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can abut against the connector 410 and the blocking member 320, reducing the possibility of a gap being generated due to the separation of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 from the connector 410 and the blocking member 320.

[0408] When filling the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200 with the foaming material, the foaming material located in the cavity 30 can flow between the mounting base 300 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the lower opening, and the foaming material located in the cavity 30 can also flow between the mounting base 300 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the diversion port 340 of the second mounting structure, so as to further fix the door shell 100 to the mounting base 300 through the foaming material, making the connection between the door shell 100 and the mounting base 300 more stable, thus realizing the preliminary installation process of the decorative panel 400.

[0409] When the decorative panel 400 is installed incorrectly or in other such situations, since the decorative panel 400 does not come into contact with the foaming material, and the decorative panel 400 is fixed to the mounting base 300 through the fixing blocks 411, the decorative panel 400 can be pulled vertically, causing the fixing blocks 411 of the decorative panel 400 to deform or even break, so that the fixing blocks 411 can be disengaged from the fixing slots or the fixing heads 330 of the mounting base 300, enabling the plug-in members 410 of the decorative panel 400 to be pulled out from the plug-in slots 310, making the disassembly process of the decorative panel 400 more convenient and the reinstallation and fixing process of the decorative panel 400 more convenient.

[0410] In some possible implementation manners, the plug-in members 410 of the decorative panel 400 are inserted into the plug-in slots 310. The width of the crimping member 420 of the decorative panel 400 in the second direction can be greater than or equal to the width of the splicing gap 140 of the door shell 100, so as to ensure that the bottom surface of the crimping member 420 can abut against the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby covering the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the crimping member 420.

[0411] Exemplarily, when the decorative panel 400 is disposed on the side of the door body 20 where the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 is located, the distance between the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is relatively small, so as to reduce the possibility of the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 colliding with structures such as cabinets.

[0412] In the second direction, at least a part of the crimping member 420 can be located outside the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, that is, the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 abuts against the bottom surface of the crimping member 420, and the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is completely in contact with the bottom surface of the crimping member 420, so as to ensure the covering effect of the crimping member 420 on the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and reduce the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 shifting outside the crimping member 420.

[0413] When the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 shifts towards the outside of the door body 20, by providing a certain margin for the crimping member 420, the possibility of the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 moving outside the crimping member 420 can be reduced.

[0414] It should be noted that by disposing the fixing blocks 411 on the side of the plug-in members 410 facing away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, on the basis of ensuring the connection stability between the plug-in members 410 and the mounting base 300, the overall thickness of the plug-in members 410 and the decorative panel 400 can also be reduced, enabling the plug-in members 410 of the decorative panel 400 to have a smaller thickness, and the crimping member 420 can correspondingly have a smaller width, so as to improve the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator on the basis of ensuring the covering effect of the crimping member 420.

[0415] When the decorative plate 400 is disposed on the side of the door body 20 where the rotating shaft or the bushing 180 is located, the crimping member 420 can be disposed on the side of the rotating shaft or the bushing 180 facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the crimping member 420 will not affect the arrangement of the rotating shaft and the bushing 180.

[0416] Exemplarily, the rotating shaft or the bushing 180 is disposed on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. In the second direction, at least a part of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be disposed between the rotating shaft or the bushing 180 and the crimping member 420, so that the crimping member 420 will not directly contact the rotating shaft or the bushing 180, and the side of the crimping member 420 facing the rotating shaft or the bushing 180 can contact the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, thereby being able to play a certain role in connecting and fixing the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the crimping member 420, and reducing the possibility of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 warping.

[0417] Refer to Figures 18-22 , in some possible implementation manners, when the decorative plate 400 is located between the side wall 120 and the upper wall 130, for example, when the decorative plate 400 is set as the first decorative plate 400 or the second decorative plate 400, the crimping member 420 can abut against the side surface of the upper wall 130, and the crimping member 420 can abut against the top surface of the side wall 120, so as to be able to seal the splicing gap 140 between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the crimping member 420.

[0418] Exemplarily, among the first decorative plate 400 and the second decorative plate 400, the crimping member 420 can have a first contact surface 422. The first contact surface 422 can be parallel to the vertical direction, and in the second direction, the first contact surface 422 can face away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0419] The crimping member 420 can abut against the side surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the first contact surface 422, and the upper top surface of the crimping member 420 can be flush with the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, so that the connection between the crimping member 420 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 is more smooth and beautiful.

[0420] Alternatively, the upper top surface of the crimping member 420 can protrude relative to the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. At least a part of the first contact surface 422 of the crimping member 420 can be located above the side surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. When the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 warps, by setting a part of the first contact surface 422 with a margin, the possibility that the side surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 moves above the first contact surface 422 can be reduced.

[0421] Exemplarily, the crimping member 420 may have a second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 may be parallel to the horizontal direction. In the second direction, the second contact surface 421 is closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 relative to the first contact surface 422, and the second contact surface 421 may be set as the bottom surface of the crimping member 420.

[0422] The crimping member 420 may be in abutment with the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 may be flush with the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. Alternatively, at least a part of the second contact surface 421 may protrude relative to the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. By providing a part of the second contact surface 421 with a margin, the possibility that the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 moves outside the second contact surface 421 can be reduced.

[0423] In some possible embodiments, when the decorative panel 400 is located between the side wall 120 and the lower wall, for example, when the decorative panel 400 is set as the third decorative panel 400 or the fourth decorative panel 400, the crimping member 420 may be in abutment with the side surface of the lower wall, and the crimping member 420 may be in abutment with the bottom surface of the side wall 120, so that the splicing gap 140 between the lower wall of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be sealed through the crimping member 420.

[0424] Exemplarily, in the third decorative panel 400 and the fourth decorative panel 400, the crimping member 420 may have a first contact surface 422. The first contact surface 422 may be parallel to the vertical direction. In the second direction, the first contact surface 422 may face away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0425] The crimping member 420 may be in abutment with the side surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100 through the first contact surface 422. The lower bottom surface of the crimping member 420 may be flush with the lower surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100, so that the connection between the crimping member 420 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 is more smooth and beautiful.

[0426] Alternatively, the lower bottom surface of the crimping member 420 may protrude relative to the lower surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100. At least a part of the first contact surface 422 of the crimping member 420 may be located below the side surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100. When the lower wall of the door shell 100 has a situation such as warping, by providing a part of the first contact surface 422 with a margin, the possibility that the side surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100 moves below the first contact surface 422 can be reduced.

[0427] Exemplarily, the crimping member 420 may have a second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 may be parallel to the horizontal direction. In the second direction, the second contact surface 421 is closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 relative to the first contact surface 422, and the second contact surface 421 may be set as the top surface of the crimping member 420.

[0428] The crimping member 420 can abut against the bottom surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 can be flush with the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. Alternatively, at least a part of the second contact surface 421 can protrude relative to the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. By providing a margin on the second contact surface 421, the possibility that the bottom surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 moves outside the second contact surface 421 can be reduced.

[0429] It should be noted that by providing the first contact surface 422 on the crimping member 420, the first contact surface 422 can abut against the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 or the side surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100. The first contact surface 422 can be in close contact with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 or the lower wall of the door shell 100, so as to reduce the splicing gap 140 between the crimping member 420 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 or the lower wall of the door shell 100, making the whole refrigerator more beautiful.

[0430] Taking the first decorative panel 400 as an example to describe the setting manner of the crimping member 420. By adopting the above technical solution, when the decorative panel 400 is installed in the splicing gap 140 between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the plug-in member 410 of the decorative panel 400 is inserted vertically downward between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300, so that the crimping member 420 moves vertically towards the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0431] The crimping member 420 can abut against the side surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the first contact surface 422, and the crimping member 420 can abut against the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the second contact surface 421, so that the crimping member 420 can block the splicing gap 140 formed between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0432] In some possible implementation manners, when the decorative panel 400 is located between the side wall 120 and the upper wall 130, for example, when the decorative panel 400 is set as the first decorative panel 400 or the second decorative panel 400, the crimping member 420 can abut against the side surface of the upper wall 130, and the crimping member 420 can abut against the top surface of the side wall 120, so as to be able to block the splicing gap 140 between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the crimping member 420.

[0433] Exemplarily, in the first decorative panel 400 and the second decorative panel 400, the crimping member 420 can have the first contact surface 422. The first contact surface 422 can be parallel to the vertical direction, and in the second direction, the first contact surface 422 can face away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0434] The crimping member 420 can be in contact with the side surface of the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100 through the first contact surface 422, and the upper top surface of the crimping member 420 can be flush with the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100, so that the connection between the crimping member 420 and the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100 is more smooth and beautiful.

[0435] Alternatively, the upper top surface of the crimping member 420 can protrude relative to the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100. At least part of the first contact surface 422 of the crimping member 420 can be located above the side surface of the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100. When the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100 has warping or other conditions, by setting part of the first contact surface 422 with a margin, the possibility that the side surface of the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100 moves above the first contact surface 422 can be reduced.

[0436] Exemplarily, the crimping member 420 can have a second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 can be parallel to the horizontal direction. In the second direction, the second contact surface 421 is closer to the side wall 120 of the door housing 100 relative to the first contact surface 422, and the second contact surface 421 can be set as the bottom surface of the crimping member 420.

[0437] The crimping member 420 can be in contact with the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door housing 100 through the second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 can be flush with the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door housing 100, or at least part of the second contact surface 421 can protrude relative to the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door housing 100. By setting part of the second contact surface 421 with a margin, the possibility that the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door housing 100 moves outside the second contact surface 421 can be reduced.

[0438] Exemplarily, the crimping member 420 can have a third contact surface 423. The third contact surface 423 can be parallel to the vertical direction. In the second direction, the third contact surface 423 can be away from the side wall 120 of the door housing 100 relative to the first contact surface 422.

[0439] The third contact surface 423 can be used to contact the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100. At least part of the crimping member 420 covers the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100. The crimping member 420 can be in contact with the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100 through the third contact surface 423, so that the connection between the crimping member 420 and the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100 can be made more stable through the third contact surface 423, and the possibility of warping or other conditions of the upper wall 130 of the door housing 100 can be reduced.

[0440] In some possible embodiments, when the decorative plate 400 is located between the side wall 120 and the lower wall, for example, when the decorative plate 400 is set as the third decorative plate 400 or the fourth decorative plate 400, the crimping member 420 can be in contact with the side surface of the lower wall, and the crimping member 420 can be in contact with the bottom surface of the side wall 120, so as to be able to seal the splicing gap 140 between the lower wall of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the crimping member 420.

[0441] Exemplarily, in the third decorative plate 400 and the fourth decorative plate 400, the crimping member 420 can have a first contact surface 422. The first contact surface 422 can be parallel to the vertical direction, and in the second direction, the first contact surface 422 can face away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0442] The crimping member 420 can be in contact with the side surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100 through the first contact surface 422, and the lower bottom surface of the crimping member 420 can be flush with the lower surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100, so that the connection between the crimping member 420 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 is smoother and more beautiful.

[0443] Alternatively, the lower bottom surface of the crimping member 420 can protrude relative to the lower surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100. At least a part of the first contact surface 422 of the crimping member 420 can be located below the side surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100. When the lower wall of the door shell 100 has warping or other conditions, by setting a part of the first contact surface 422 with a margin, the possibility that the side surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100 moves below the first contact surface 422 can be reduced.

[0444] Exemplarily, the crimping member 420 can have a second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 can be parallel to the horizontal direction, and in the second direction, the second contact surface 421 is closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 than the first contact surface 422, and the second contact surface 421 can be set as the top surface of the crimping member 420.

[0445] The crimping member 420 can be in contact with the bottom surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 can be flush with the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, or at least a part of the second contact surface 421 can protrude relative to the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. By setting a part of the second contact surface 421 with a margin, the possibility that the bottom surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 moves outside the second contact surface 421 can be reduced.

[0446] Exemplarily, the crimping member 420 can have a third contact surface 423. The third contact surface 423 can be parallel to the vertical direction, and in the second direction, the third contact surface 423 can face away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 relative to the first contact surface 422.

[0447] The third contact surface 423 can be used to contact the lower surface of the lower wall of the door case 100. At least a part of the crimping member 420 covers the lower surface of the lower wall of the door case 100. The crimping member 420 can abut against the lower surface of the lower wall of the door case 100 through the third contact surface 423, so that the connection between the crimping member 420 and the lower wall of the door case 100 can be made more stable through the third contact surface 423, reducing the possibility of the lower wall of the door case 100 warping up or the like.

[0448] It should be noted that, in the comparative mode, the side wall 120 of the door case 100 can be provided with a flanging, and the flanging can extend toward the inner side of the door body 20. The bottom surface of the crimping member 420 can be pressed on the surface of the flanging facing away from the mounting seat 300 to reduce the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door case 100 warping up or the like.

[0449] However, when the side wall 120 of the door case 100 is provided with a flanging, since the door case 100 is formed by bending through a sheet metal process, at least one fillet needs to be formed between the side wall 120 of the door case 100 and the flanging. This also makes the fillet required for the flanging need to occupy a part of the installation space required by the decorative plate 400 in the second direction, thereby affecting the width of the decorative plate 400. At least the space of the side wall 120 of the door case 100 needs to be reserved on the side of the decorative plate 400 facing the side wall 120 of the door case 100, and the side of the decorative plate 400 facing away from the side wall 120 of the door case 100 needs to be used to arrange the rotating shaft or the bushing 180, which will further reduce the width of the decorative plate 400 and affect the shielding effect of the decorative plate 400.

[0450] Compared with the comparative mode, the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door case 100 in the embodiment of the present application can abut against the first contact surface of the crimping member 420, and the side wall 120 of the door case 100 can be arranged parallel to the vertical direction, so that the side wall 120 of the door case 100 does not need to be provided with a flanging, thereby enabling the overall structure of the door case 100 to be more upright.

[0451] In summary, in the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present application, the mounting seat 300 is arranged in the cavity 30; the decorative plate 400 is fixed to the door case 100 through the mounting seat 300. When the decorative plate 400 is relatively fixed to the door case 100 through the mounting seat 300, the first part of the decorative plate 400 is located in the cavity 30 surrounded by the door case 100 and the inner liner 200, and the first part of the decorative plate 400 can be relatively fixed to the mounting seat 300 to make the decorative plate 400 relatively fixed to the door case 100.

[0452] When the decorative panel 400 is relatively fixed to the door shell 100 through the mounting base 300, the second part of the decorative panel 400 can be located outside the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200. The second part of the decorative panel 400 can be used to block the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100 and the splicing gap 140 between the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100.
