[0003] However, when taking out and placing food in the storage space, condensation water is easily formed at the drawer door, and the condensation water is easy to flow into the storage space, thereby affecting the preservation process of the food in the storage space. Utility Model Content
[0004] An embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator that can solve the technical problem that condensed water formed at the drawer door of the refrigerator flows into the storage space and affects the preservation process of food in the storage space.
[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator, comprising:
[0006] A box body, wherein the box body is provided with a box liner, and the box liner has an opening;
[0007] A drawer, comprising:
[0008] A drawer body, which can be pushed into the box through the opening and can be pulled out of the box through the opening; the drawer body forms a receiving space;
[0009] A sealing strip is provided on the drawer body; when the drawer body is in the pushed-in state, the sealing strip is arranged around the opening and fits with the box liner;
[0010] The sealing strip is provided with a guide groove, and the guide groove is at least used to guide the condensed water formed on the top of the drawer body to both sides of the drawer body.
[0011] The sealing strip is arranged around the opening and fits with the box inner shell, ensuring that the storage space of the drawer body is in a negative pressure state, thereby improving the preservation effect of food ingredients; the guide groove can effectively guide the condensed water formed on the top of the drawer body to the two sides of the drawer body, avoiding the condensed water from flowing into the storage space and preventing the condensed water from affecting the preservation process of food ingredients; the design of the sealing strip takes cleaning issues into consideration. Through the setting of the guide groove, the accumulation of condensed water on the sealing strip is reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of contamination of the sealing strip. The outward-opening guide groove can reduce the accumulation of food residues and soup compared to the outer side of the conventional sealing strip, that is, the serrated shape, and is also convenient for users to clean.
[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, the sealing strip includes:
[0013] an upper sealing structure, located above the opening;
[0014] A lower sealing structure is located below the opening; the lower sealing structure is arranged parallel to and opposite to the upper sealing structure;
[0015] Two side sealing structures are located on both sides of the opening; a first end of the side sealing structure is connected to the upper sealing structure, and a second end of the side sealing structure is connected to the lower sealing structure.
[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the guide groove includes:
[0017] A receiving cavity, the receiving cavity is provided on the upper sealing structure and faces upward;
[0018] A flow guide cavity is provided in the side sealing structure, a first end of the flow guide cavity is communicated with the receiving cavity, and a second end of the flow guide cavity extends downward.
[0019] The upper and lower sealing structures, along with two side seals, form a complete sealing ring, providing a multi-directional seal. This ensures a tighter fit between the seal strip and the drawer when the drawer is pushed in, enhancing sealing performance and ensuring the vacuum level within the drawer compartment meets the required standards. This effectively maintains a negative pressure within the drawer, enhancing food preservation. The comprehensive upper, lower, and side sealing design effectively prevents condensation from flowing into the drawer compartment through the opening, potentially impacting food preservation.
[0020] In some embodiments of the present application, the lower sealing structure is provided with a lower cavity;
[0021] The first end of the lower cavity is communicated with one of the guide cavities, and the second end of the lower cavity is communicated with the other guide cavity.
[0022] The receiving chamber is arranged on the upper sealing structure and faces upward. It can collect condensed water formed on the top of the drawer to prevent the condensed water from sliding directly onto the food inside the drawer. It can also receive dripping soup or falling debris generated when taking and placing food; the setting of the diversion chamber can divert the condensed water collected in the receiving chamber downward through the diversion chamber to avoid the accumulation of condensed water or food residues on the sealing strip, thereby preventing condensed water and food residues from entering the storage space; the combined design of the receiving chamber and the diversion chamber can effectively collect and divert pollutants such as condensed water and food residues to prevent contamination of food; and the design of the diversion groove will not affect the overall sealing performance of the sealing strip, ensuring that when the drawer body is pushed in, the opening can achieve a comprehensive sealing effect, maintain a negative pressure state in the storage space, and improve the preservation effect of food; the structure of the diversion groove is relatively simple, which is convenient for users to clean and reduces the accumulation of food residues and soup.
[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the drawer body is provided with a drawer door, and the sealing strip is provided on the surface of the drawer door facing the box liner;
[0024] When the drawer body is in a pushed-in state, the surface of the sealing strip facing away from the drawer door is in contact with the box liner.
[0025] Through the design of the lower cavity, condensed water can be effectively diverted to the outside of the refrigerator or a specific collection area, preventing condensed water from entering the storage space inside the drawer, thereby avoiding affecting the preservation process of food; the connection design between the lower cavity of the lower sealing structure and the diversion cavity will not affect the overall sealing performance of the sealing strip, ensuring that when the drawer body is pushed in, the opening can achieve a comprehensive sealing effect, maintain a negative pressure state in the storage space, and improve the preservation effect of food.
[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the sealing strip includes:
[0027] a mounting portion connected to the drawer door;
[0028] A fitting portion, the fitting portion being arranged on a side of the mounting portion away from the drawer door; when the drawer body is in a pushed-in state, a surface of the fitting portion away from the mounting portion fits in contact with the box liner;
[0029] The fitting portion and the mounting portion are spaced apart, and the fitting portion and the mounting portion form the guide groove.
[0030] The sealing strip is located on the surface of the drawer door facing the inner chamber. When the drawer body is pushed in, the surface of the sealing strip facing away from the drawer door mates with the inner chamber, ensuring a good seal within the drawer body's storage space, maintaining a negative pressure and enhancing food preservation. The sealing strip is located on the surface of the drawer door facing the inner chamber, preventing it from being directly exposed to the outside environment when the drawer body is pushed in, reducing contamination from food residue and soup. The sealing strip is designed with cleanliness in mind, making it easy for users to clean.
[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the sealing strip further comprises:
[0032] a supporting portion, the supporting portion being disposed in the guide groove, and a first end of the supporting portion being connected to the mounting portion;
[0033] When the drawer body is in the pushed-in state, the second end of the supporting portion abuts against the fitting portion, and at least a portion of the fitting portion does not contact the mounting portion.
[0034] A guide groove is formed between the fitting portion and the mounting portion, ensuring that the fitting portion can fit tightly against the inner chamber of the drawer when the drawer body is pushed in, thereby achieving a good sealing effect, maintaining a negative pressure state in the accommodating space, and improving the preservation effect of food. The design of the support portion ensures that the fitting portion can fit tightly against the inner chamber of the drawer when the drawer body is pushed in, thereby achieving a good sealing effect, maintaining a negative pressure state in the accommodating space, and improving the preservation effect of food. At the same time, the fitting portion and the mounting portion will not be squeezed and pressed tightly together, and the guide groove between the fitting portion and the mounting portion can normally perform the diversion function; the support portion is arranged in the guide groove, with the first end of the support portion connected to the mounting portion and the second end abutting against the fitting portion, which can enhance the structural stability of the sealing strip, ensure that the sealing strip is not easily deformed during use, and further improve the sealing effect.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of the supporting parts is set to be multiple, and the multiple supporting parts are arranged in sequence at intervals.
[0036] Multiple supporting parts are arranged at intervals in sequence to ensure that the fitting part can fit tightly with the box body when the drawer body is pushed in, thereby achieving a good sealing effect, maintaining a negative pressure state in the accommodating space, and improving the preservation effect of food. The guide groove between the fitting part 2 and the installation part can be evenly supported to avoid the fitting part 2 and the installation part 2 to avoid reducing the guide effect.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the first end of the support portion faces the opening, and the second end of the support portion faces away from the opening;
[0038] Taking a plane perpendicular to the extending direction of the support portion as a cross section, the cross-sectional area of the support portion gradually increases in a direction away from the opening.
[0039] The cross-sectional area of the support portion gradually increases in the direction away from the opening. This design can provide better supporting force and stability, ensuring that the sealing strip is not easily deformed during use; when the guide groove is squeezed, that is, when the drawer body is pushed in, the support portion at the end of the guide groove away from the opening is smaller in volume than the support portion close to the opening end, so that a gap can be retained between the fitting portion and the installation portion, thereby avoiding fitting between the fitting portion and the installation portion and avoiding reducing the diversion effect.
[0040] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator, comprising:
[0041] A box body, wherein the box body is provided with a box liner, and the box liner has an opening;
[0042] A drawer, comprising:
[0043] A drawer body, which can be pushed into the box through the opening and can be pulled out of the box through the opening; the drawer body forms a receiving space;
[0044] Sealing strips, including:
[0045] a mounting portion connected to the drawer body;
[0046] a fitting portion, the fitting portion being arranged on a side of the mounting portion away from the drawer body, with a guide groove formed between the fitting portion and the mounting portion;
[0047] When the drawer body is in a pushed-in state, the surface of the fitting portion facing away from the mounting portion fits in with the box liner, and the guide groove is at least used to guide the condensed water formed on the top of the drawer body to both sides of the drawer body.
[0048] In the refrigerator of the embodiment of the present application, the guide groove can effectively guide the condensed water formed on the top of the drawer body to the two sides of the drawer body, avoiding the condensed water from flowing into the storage space and preventing the condensed water from affecting the preservation process of the food; the design of the sealing strip takes the cleaning issue into consideration. Through the setting of the guide groove, the accumulation of condensed water on the sealing strip is reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of contamination of the sealing strip. Compared with the outer side of the conventional sealing strip, the outward-opening guide groove, i.e., the serrated shape, can reduce the accumulation of food residues and soup, and is also convenient for users to clean.

[0069] As described in the background art, the interior of refrigerator drawers in related art is usually kept at a relatively low temperature to ensure that food can be preserved for a long time. This low-temperature environment helps slow the spoilage process of food. However, the ambient temperature outside the refrigerator is usually higher than the temperature inside the refrigerator, especially in summer or high-humidity environments. This temperature difference can lead to the formation of condensation water. The ambient air usually contains a certain amount of water vapor, especially in high-humidity environments. When the refrigerator door is opened, outside air will enter the refrigerator. When the warm and humid air contacts the cold surface inside the refrigerator or the drawer door, the water vapor in the air will quickly cool and condense into water droplets. If the condensation water accumulated at the drawer door enters the drawer, it will affect the preservation process of the food in the storage space, making the food more likely to deteriorate.
[0070] In view of this, the guide groove on the refrigerator drawer of the embodiment of the present application can effectively guide the condensed water formed on the top of the drawer body to the two sides of the drawer body, avoiding the condensed water from flowing into the storage space and preventing the condensed water from affecting the preservation process of the food; the design of the sealing strip takes into account the cleaning issue. Through the setting of the guide groove, the accumulation of condensed water on the sealing strip is reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of contamination of the sealing strip. The outward-opening guide groove can reduce the accumulation of food residues and soup compared to the outer side of the conventional sealing strip, that is, the serrated shape, and is also convenient for users to clean.

[0081] The drawer body 100 may form a receiving space.
[0082] A sealing strip 200 is also included and can be provided on the drawer body 100 .
[0083] When the drawer body 100 is in the pushed-in state, the sealing strip 200 is arranged around the opening, and the sealing strip 200 is in contact with the box 02 .
[0084] The sealing strip 200 may be provided with a guide groove 210 , and the guide groove 210 is at least used to guide the condensed water formed on the top of the drawer body 100 to both sides of the drawer body 100 .
[0085] The sealing strip 200 is arranged around the opening and fits with the box liner 02, ensuring that the storage space of the drawer body 100 is in a negative pressure state, thereby improving the preservation effect of food; the guide groove 210 can effectively guide the condensed water formed on the top of the drawer body 100 to the two sides of the drawer body 100, avoiding the condensed water from flowing into the storage space and preventing the condensed water from affecting the preservation process of food; the design of the sealing strip 200 takes cleaning issues into consideration. Through the setting of the guide groove 210, the accumulation of condensed water on the sealing strip is reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of contamination of the sealing strip. Compared with the conventional sealing strip, the outward-opening guide groove 210 has a serrated shape on the outside, which can reduce the accumulation of food residues and soup, and is also convenient for users to clean.
[0086] In some possible implementations, the sealing strip 200 includes an upper sealing structure 220 located above the opening.
[0087] The sealing strip 200 further includes a lower sealing structure 230 located below the opening.
[0088] The lower sealing structure 230 is disposed parallel to and opposite to the upper sealing structure 220 .
[0089] The sealing strip 200 further includes two side sealing structures 240 located on both sides of the opening.
[0090] refer to Figure 5-Figure 6 , a first end of the side sealing structure 240 may be connected to the upper sealing structure 220 , and a second end of the side sealing structure 240 may be connected to the lower sealing structure 230 .
[0091] The upper sealing structure 220, the lower sealing structure 230, and the two side sealing structures 240 together form a complete sealing ring, which can provide a multi-directional sealing effect. When the drawer body 100 is pushed in, the sealing strip 200 is more tightly fitted with the inner chamber 02, thereby improving the sealing performance and ensuring that the vacuum level of the storage space meets the required level. It can effectively maintain a negative pressure state inside the drawer body 100, improving the preservation effect of food. The comprehensive sealing structure design of the top, bottom, and sides can effectively prevent condensation from flowing into the storage space of the drawer body 100 through the opening, avoiding affecting the storage process of food.

[0093] The guide groove 210 further includes a guide cavity 212 . The guide cavity 212 can be disposed in the side sealing structure 240 . A first end of the guide cavity 212 can be communicated with the receiving cavity 211 , and a second end of the guide cavity 212 can extend downward.
[0094] The receiving chamber 211 is arranged on the upper sealing structure 220 and faces upward, which can collect condensed water formed on the top of the drawer to prevent the condensed water from sliding directly onto the food inside the drawer, and can also receive dripping soup or falling residues generated when taking out and putting food; the setting of the diversion chamber 212 can divert the condensed water collected by the receiving chamber 211 downward through the diversion chamber 212, avoiding the accumulation of condensed water or food residues on the sealing strip, thereby preventing condensed water and food residues from entering the storage space; the combined design of the receiving chamber 211 and the diversion chamber 212 can effectively collect and divert pollutants such as condensed water and food residues, and prevent food from being contaminated; and the design of the diversion groove 210 will not affect the overall sealing performance of the sealing strip 200, ensuring that when the drawer body 100 is in the pushed-in state, the opening can achieve a comprehensive sealing effect, maintain a negative pressure state in the storage space, and improve the preservation effect of food; the structure of the diversion groove 210 is relatively simple, which is convenient for users to clean and reduces the accumulation of food residues and soup.
[0095] refer to Figure 9-10 In some possible implementations, the lower sealing structure 230 is provided with a lower cavity 213 .
[0096] The first end of the lower cavity 213 may be in communication with one of the guide cavities 212 , and the second end of the lower cavity 213 may be in communication with the other guide cavity 212 .
[0097] When condensed water or food residues gather in the receiving cavity 211 of the upper sealing structure 220, the condensed water or food residues can flow downward along the guide cavity 212 of the side sealing structure 240 and gather in the lower cavity 213 of the lower sealing structure 230, making it easier for users to clean.
[0098] Through the design of the lower cavity 213, condensed water can be effectively diverted to the outside of the refrigerator or a specific collection area, preventing condensed water from entering the storage space inside the drawer, thereby avoiding affecting the preservation process of food; the communication design between the lower cavity 213 of the lower sealing structure 230 and the diversion cavity 212 will not affect the overall sealing performance of the sealing strip 200, ensuring that when the drawer body 100 is in the pushed-in state, the opening can achieve a comprehensive sealing effect, maintain a negative pressure state in the storage space, and improve the preservation effect of food.
[0099] refer to Figure 5In some possible implementations, the drawer body 100 is provided with a drawer door 110 , and a sealing strip 200 is provided on the surface of the drawer door 110 facing the box 02 .
[0100] When the drawer body 100 is in the pushed-in state, the surface of the sealing strip 200 facing away from the drawer door 110 is in contact with the box liner 02 .
[0101] It should be understood that the sealing strip 200 is provided on the surface of the drawer door 110 facing the inner chamber 02. When the drawer body 100 is in the pushed-in state, the surface of the sealing strip 200 facing away from the drawer door 110 is in contact with the inner chamber 02, ensuring that the storage space of the drawer body 100 can achieve a good sealing effect, maintain a negative pressure state, and improve the preservation effect of food. The sealing strip 200 is provided on the surface of the drawer door 110 facing the inner chamber 02, which prevents the sealing strip 200 from being directly exposed to the external environment when the drawer body 100 is in the pushed-in state, thereby reducing contamination by food residues and soup. The design of the sealing strip 200 takes into account the cleaning issue and is easy for users to clean.
[0102] refer to Figure 5-Figure 6 In some possible embodiments, the sealing strip 200 includes a mounting portion 201 , and the mounting portion 201 is connected to the drawer door 110 .
[0103] Illustratively, the mounting portion 201 is snap-fitted to the drawer door 110 , the mounting portion 201 has a mounting protrusion, and the drawer door 110 has a mounting groove corresponding to the mounting protrusion.
[0104] It should be noted that the mounting protrusion can be a raised strip structure or other suitable shape. The embodiment of the present application does not impose too many restrictions. The mounting protrusion ensures that it can be firmly inserted into the mounting groove. The internal shape of the mounting groove corresponds to the mounting protrusion, ensuring that the mounting portion 201 and the drawer door 110 can fit tightly together to prevent loosening or falling off.
[0105] By adopting the snap-fit connection structure between the mounting portion 201 and the drawer door 110, the need for complex processing is reduced, thereby reducing the processing difficulty and defect rate; the structure is simple, and the installation of the sealing strip on the drawer can be completed conveniently and quickly.
[0106] The sealing strip 200 further includes a fitting portion 202 , which is disposed on a side of the mounting portion 201 facing away from the drawer door 110 .
[0107] When the drawer body 100 is in the pushed-in state, the surface of the fitting portion 202 facing away from the mounting portion 201 fits in with the box 02 .
[0108] The fitting portion 202 and the mounting portion 201 are spaced apart from each other, and the fitting portion 202 and the mounting portion 201 can form a guide groove 210 .
[0109] Through the arrangement of the above embodiment, a guide groove 210 is formed between the fitting portion 202 and the mounting portion 201, ensuring that when the drawer body 100 is in the pushed-in state, the fitting portion 202 can fit tightly with the box 02, thereby achieving a good sealing effect, maintaining a negative pressure state in the accommodating space, and improving the preservation effect of food.

[0111] When the drawer body 100 is in the pushed-in state, the second end of the supporting portion 250 abuts against the fitting portion 202 , and at least a portion of the fitting portion 202 does not contact the mounting portion 201 .
[0112] The design of the support portion 250 ensures that the fitting portion 202 can fit tightly with the box liner 02 when the drawer body 100 is pushed in, thereby achieving a good sealing effect, maintaining a negative pressure state in the accommodating space, and improving the preservation effect of food. At the same time, the fitting portion 202 and the mounting portion 201 will not be squeezed tightly together, and the guide groove 210 between the fitting portion 202 and the mounting portion 201 can normally realize the diversion function; the support portion 250 is arranged in the guide groove 210, the first end of the support portion 250 is connected to the mounting portion 201, and the second end is in contact with the fitting portion 202, which can enhance the structural stability of the sealing strip 200, ensure that the sealing strip is not easily deformed during use, and further improve the sealing effect.
[0113] In some possible embodiments, the number of the supporting portions 250 may be multiple, and the multiple supporting portions 250 may be sequentially spaced apart.
[0114] Multiple support parts 250 are arranged at intervals in sequence to ensure that the fitting part 202 can fit tightly with the box 02 when the drawer body 100 is pushed in, thereby achieving a good sealing effect, maintaining a negative pressure state in the accommodating space, and improving the preservation effect of food. The guide groove 210 between the fitting part 202 and the installation part 201 can be evenly supported to avoid the fitting part 202 and the installation part 201, thereby avoiding reducing the guide effect.
[0115] It should be understood that multiple support parts 250 can be closely attached to each other, or they can be arranged in sequence with spacing between adjacent support parts 250. As long as the support parts 250 can support the guide groove 210, the embodiment of the present application does not impose too many restrictions on the arrangement between the support parts 250.
[0116] In some possible embodiments, the first end of the support portion 250 may face the opening, and the second end of the support portion 250 may face away from the opening.
[0117] Taking a plane perpendicular to the extending direction of the support portion 250 as a cross section, the cross-sectional area of the support portion 250 gradually increases in a direction away from the opening.
[0118] The cross-sectional area of the support portion 250 gradually increases in the direction away from the opening. This design can provide better support force and stability, ensuring that the sealing strip is not easily deformed during use; when the guide groove 210 is squeezed, that is, when the drawer body 100 is pushed in, the support portion 250 at the end of the guide groove 210 away from the opening is smaller than the support portion 250 close to the opening end, so that a gap can be retained between the fitting portion 202 and the mounting portion 201, thereby avoiding fitting of the fitting portion 202 and the mounting portion 201, and avoiding reducing the diversion effect.
[0119] For example, the support portion 250 may be tapered, which provides uniform support and simplifies the manufacturing process. The support portion 250 may also be curved, which can better disperse stress and reduce the possibility of local deformation. The support portion 250 may also be wavy, which can increase its elasticity and enable it to better recover from being squeezed. It should be understood that as long as the support portion 250 can prevent the fitting portion 202 from fitting against the mounting portion 201, the embodiments of the present application do not impose excessive restrictions on the specific structure of the support portion 250.
[0120] The support portion 250, the side sealing structure 240, the lower sealing structure 240 and the upper sealing structure 230 can be integrally formed, that is, the sealing strip 200 is integrally formed, avoiding possible gaps between the various components, thereby improving the overall sealing performance and ensuring the vacuum degree of the accommodating space; the integrally formed sealing structure has a smooth surface, without complex shapes and gaps, is easy to clean, prevents food residue and condensed water contamination, and can also reduce the fitting errors between multiple components, thereby reducing the defective rate caused by improper assembly.
[0121] It should be understood that the sealing strip 200 can be made of silicone, which has good resistance to high and low temperatures, good flexibility, excellent sealing performance, aging resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance; the sealing strip 200 can also be made of EPDM rubber, which has good weather resistance and ozone resistance, excellent heat resistance and cold resistance, good elasticity, and a relatively low price; the sealing strip 200 can also be made of TPE, which has good flexibility, is easy to process, is environmentally friendly, and is recyclable.
[0122] Among them, EPDM rubber (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer Rubber) is a material widely used in various sealing strips; TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) is a material that combines the properties of rubber and plastic and is widely used in various sealing strips.
[0123] For example, the upper sealing structure 220 and the lower sealing structure 230 have exactly the same shape, which facilitates installation. There is no need to distinguish between the upper and lower parts during installation, thereby improving installation efficiency.
[0124] refer to Figure 11-12 In some possible embodiments, the sealing strip 200 further includes an anti-support portion 260, which is disposed in the guide groove 210. The first end of the anti-support portion 260 can be connected to the fitting portion 202. When the drawer body 100 is in a pushed-in state, the second end of the anti-support portion 260 abuts against the support portion 250.
[0125] The abutment between the supporting portion 250 and the counter-supporting portion 260 can provide better support for the guide groove 210 between the mounting portion 201 and the fitting portion 202, and the sealing strip 200 is not easily squeezed and deformed.

[0131] The mounting portion 201 is connected to the drawer body 100 .
[0132] The fitting portion 202 is arranged on a side of the mounting portion 201 away from the drawer body 100 , and a guide groove 210 is formed between the fitting portion 202 and the mounting portion 201 .
[0133] When the drawer body 100 is in the pushed-in state, the surface of the fitting portion 202 facing away from the mounting portion 201 fits against the box 02 , and the guide groove 210 is at least used to guide the condensed water formed on the top of the drawer body 100 to both sides of the drawer body 100 .
