[0035] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the box liner assembly of the present invention includes a spacer 100 and a box liner 200. The box liner 200 is provided with an assembly hole 203, and the spacer 100 is arranged in the box liner 200. The spacer 100 is provided with a receiving space 21, and the receiving space 21 is used to receive the end of the guide rail that is slidably assembled with the box liner 200 and extends from the assembly hole 203.

[0037] For example, the assembly hole 203 can be a through hole, and the assembly hole 203 can be provided on the rear side of the box liner 200 and can extend through the wall of the box liner 200 in the front-to-back direction. The box liner 200 can be equipped with a guide rail, which can extend in the front-to-back direction and be used to secure to a structure such as a drawer. During use, the guide rail can slide in the front-to-back direction relative to the box liner 200, and the rear end of the guide rail can extend from the assembly hole 203.

[0038] The above-mentioned air avoidance member 100 can be fixed on the rear side of the box liner 200 and seal the opening of the above-mentioned assembly hole 203. The air avoidance member 100 can be a hollow structure, and the internal space of the air avoidance member 100 forms the above-mentioned accommodating space 21. When the air avoidance member 100 is installed on the above-mentioned box liner 200, the accommodating space 21 will be connected with the assembly hole 203. When the guide rail extends from the assembly hole 203, the extended part can be inserted into the accommodating space 21, thereby realizing the shielding and avoidance of the extended guide rail part by the air avoidance member 100.

[0039] The box liner assembly of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a space-avoiding member 100, which can seal and block the assembly hole 203 on the box liner. Secondly, since the space-avoiding member 100 is provided with a receiving space 21, the extended guide rail part can be inserted into the receiving space 21, thereby playing the role of avoiding the guide rail, thereby avoiding the problem of contact and interference with the guide rail, and meeting the needs of use.

[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the air-avoiding member 100 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a plate body 1 and a convex bump 2 .

[0041] The plate body 1 is used to be attached to and fixed to the outer surface of the box liner 200. For example, the plate body 1 can be a generally planar structure, the box liner 200 can be the box liner 200 of a refrigerator, and the plate body 1 can be attached to the outer wall surface of the box liner 200 and directly connected and fixed to the box liner 200, wherein the connection and fixing method can be adhesive, fastener fixation, clamping fixation, etc.

[0042] The convex bulge 2 is provided on the plate body 1 , protruding toward the outside of the plate body 1 and forming a receiving space 21 on the inside of the plate body 1 , and the receiving space 21 is used for inserting the end of the guide rail that is slidably assembled with the box liner 200 .

[0043] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the material of the air avoidance member 100 can be plastic, and the convex bulge 2 can be formed on the rear side of the above-mentioned plate body 1 by integral injection molding, that is, the convex bulge 2 as a whole can protrude backward and construct a receiving space 21 on the front side, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 shown.

[0044] The box liner 200 can be slidably equipped with a guide rail, which is connected to the drawer, thereby meeting the use needs of pulling the drawer out and pushing it in. When the drawer is pushed into the box liner 200, a part of the guide rail can extend from the box liner 200 and be inserted into the above-mentioned accommodating space 21.

[0045] In some embodiments, the air avoidance member 100 includes a flange 3, which is arranged on the side of the plate body 1 away from the bulge 2, and the flange 3 extends along the edge of the opening of the accommodating space 21, and the flange 3 is used to be inserted into the assembly hole on the box liner 200.

[0046] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the convex edge 3 can be arranged on the front side of the plate body 1, and the convex edge 3 can also be integrally formed with the plate body 1 by integral injection molding. The convex edge 3 can be arranged along the edge of the opening of the above-mentioned accommodating space 21. In some other embodiments, the convex edge 3 can also be extended along the edge of the opening of the accommodating space 21 and closed into a circle.

[0047] A through hole is provided on the wall of the box liner 200, which is arranged opposite to the above-mentioned accommodating space 21. During assembly, the flange 3 can be inserted into the through hole, so that the positioning of the air-avoiding component 100 can be achieved through the limiting constraints of the flange 3 and the hole wall of the through hole, thereby ensuring the structural stability and accuracy of the assembly.

[0048] In some embodiments, the flange 3 is provided with at least one buckle 4 , which is spaced apart from the plate body 1 , and the buckle 4 is used to clamp and fix the box wall of the box liner 200 between the buckle 4 and the plate body 1 .

[0049] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the buckle 4 can also be formed on the above-mentioned flange 3 by integral injection molding. The buckle 4 is located on the outer peripheral side of the flange 3 and the front side of the plate body 1. In the front-to-back direction, the buckle 4 and the plate body 1 are spaced apart.

[0050] During assembly, the buckle 4 can be passed through the through hole first, and then the box wall portion on the side of the through hole can be clamped between the buckle 4 and the plate portion 11, as shown in the following example. Figure 4 As shown, the avoidance hole can be installed and fixed, and the convenience of installation and disassembly is achieved.

[0051] It should be noted that the buckles 4 can be provided in two, three, four or other quantities, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there can be two buckles 4, both of which can be located on the right side of the flange 3 and spaced apart in the vertical direction. Thus, the multiple buckles 4 can fully ensure the fixing effect and structural stability.

[0052] In some embodiments, the plate body 1 includes a plate portion 11 and a folding portion 12 provided on one side of the plate portion 11, the folding portion 12 and the plate portion 11 form an angle, and the plate portion 11 and the folding portion 12 are respectively used to fit and fix with different outer surfaces of the box 200.

[0053] For example, Figure 5As shown, the plate body 1 can be generally in an L-shaped structure, i.e., according to different planes, the plate body 1 can generally include two parts, one of which is the plate part 11, and the other is the folded part 12. The plate part 11 and the folded part 12 are generally perpendicular to each other, wherein the plate part 11 can be perpendicular to the front-back direction, and the folded part 12 can be perpendicular to the left-right direction.

[0054] As shown, when assembled, the plate part 11 can be fixedly attached to the rear side wall 202 of the box body 200, and the folded part 12 can be fixedly attached to the left side wall 202 of the box body 200, so that the air avoidance part 100 can simultaneously play a limiting effect in the front-back direction and the left-right direction, further ensuring the structural stability of the assembly. Figure 5

[0055] In some embodiments, the convex part 2 is provided with a plurality of convex parts 22, which protrude inward or outward of the convex part 2. For example, as shown, the convex part 22 can be integrally formed on each wall surface of the convex part 2 by injection molding, and the convex part 22 can be in a strip shape and can extend in the front-back direction. A part of the convex part 22 can protrude inward of the convex part 2 and form a groove on the outside of the convex part 2, and another part of the convex part 22 can protrude outward of the convex part 2 and form a groove on the inside of the convex part 2. Figure 6

[0056] The arrangement of the convex part 22 can enhance the overall structural strength of the convex part 2, so that the convex part 2 has higher compression resistance and other properties, fully meeting the use needs of structural strength.

[0057] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the convex part 2 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 25, which are arranged in a horizontal and vertical staggered manner. For example, as shown, the reinforcing rib 25 can be in a sheet structure, and the outer surface of the convex part 2 can include a rear surface and a circumferential surface, etc., and the reinforcing rib 25 can also be integrally formed on the outer surface of the convex part 2 by injection molding. Figure 5

[0058] The plurality of reinforcing ribs 25 can be divided into horizontal ribs and vertical ribs according to different extension directions, wherein the horizontal ribs can be generally arranged in a horizontal plane, and the plurality of horizontal ribs can be arranged in a spaced manner along the up-down direction, and the vertical ribs can be arranged in a vertical plane, and the plurality of vertical ribs can be arranged in a spaced manner along the left-right direction.

[0059] The arrangement of the reinforcing rib 25 further enhances the structural strength of the convex part 2. Secondly, since the reinforcing rib 25 protrudes from the outer surface of the convex part 2, it also avoids the case that external components directly touch the convex part 2, further enhancing the protection effect.

[0060] In some embodiments, the inner groove wall of the accommodating space 21 includes an inner bottom wall 23 located at the bottom, which is arranged inclined downward along the direction close to the plate body 1. ​​​

[0061] For example, Figure 6 As shown, inner bottom wall 23 is a portion of the inner groove wall located at the bottom side of receiving space 21. Inner bottom wall 23 is arranged generally downwardly and slanted from the back to the front. This facilitates the discharge of liquids such as condensation from receiving space 21, preventing liquid accumulation within receiving space 21. It also facilitates mold removal during injection molding, facilitating production and processing.

[0062] In some embodiments, the inner groove wall of the accommodating space 21 includes an inner top wall 24 located at the top, and the inner top wall 24 is arranged upwardly and inclined in a direction close to the plate body 1. For example, Figure 6 As shown, the inner top wall 24 is the inner groove wall portion of the accommodating space 21 located at the top side, and the inner top wall 24 is generally arranged in an inclined downward direction from the front upper to the rear lower, thereby further meeting the needs of the drafting process.

[0063] In some embodiments, the angle formed between the inner bottom wall 23 and the inner top wall 24 and the horizontal direction is greater than 5 degrees. Figure 6 As shown, the angle formed by the inner bottom wall 23 and the horizontal direction can be angle a, and angle a can be 5 degrees, 6 degrees, 7 degrees, 8 degrees, 10 degrees, etc., thereby fully meeting the needs of liquid discharge and demolding.

[0064] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the box liner 200 can be a substantially rectangular parallelepiped structure, wherein the box liner 200 includes a rear box wall 201 facing the rear side, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the rear box wall 201 is provided with an assembly hole 203, which can be generally a waist-shaped hole, and the assembly hole 203 can be formed by stamping. The assembly hole 203 can also be regarded as a through hole on the above-mentioned box wall.

[0065] At least a portion of the plate body 1 is in close contact with the rear box wall 201, and the accommodating space 21 is arranged opposite the assembly hole 203. For example, the plate portion 11 of the air avoider 100 can be in close contact with the rear box wall 201, while the opening of the accommodating space 21 on the air avoider 100 can be located directly behind and in communication with the assembly hole 203. During use, a guide rail or the like can pass through the assembly hole 203 and extend into the accommodating space 21.

[0066] In some embodiments, the box liner 200 includes a side box wall 202 connected to the rear box wall 201, and the side box wall 202 is provided with a protrusion 204, which protrudes toward the outside of the side box wall 202 and is adjacent to the connection between the rear box wall 201 and the side box wall 202, and part of the plate body 1 is covered on the outside of the protrusion 204.

[0067] For example, Figure 7As shown, the side wall 202 can specifically be the left side wall 202 of the box liner 200. The protrusion 204 can be integrally formed on the rear side of the side wall 202 and protrude toward the left side of the side wall 202. Horizontally, the protrusion 204 is substantially co-located with the assembly hole 203. The assembly hole 203 can be a punched hole, that is, formed by stamping. The provision of the protrusion 204 allows the left side of the assembly hole 203 to retain a flat surface structure that fits with a punch, thereby facilitating the machining of the assembly hole 203 and avoiding difficulties in forming the assembly hole 203.

[0068] During assembly, the plate portion 11 can be bonded and fixed to the rear box wall 201, and the folded portion 12 can also be bonded and fixed to the outer surface of the protruding portion 204, thereby fully ensuring the sealing performance.

[0069] In some embodiments, the height dimension of the protrusion 204 is greater than the height dimension of the assembly hole 203. For example, Figure 7 As shown, the height dimension of the protrusion 204 can be dimension H1, and the height dimension of the assembly hole 203 can be dimension H2. Dimension H1 is larger than dimension H2, so that in the horizontal direction, the assembly hole 203 can be completely located within the projection range of the protrusion 204, so that the size of the protrusion 204 can be adapted to the size of the assembly hole 203, that is, it fully meets the processing needs of completely processing the assembly hole 203.

[0070] The refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0071] The refrigerator of the embodiment of the present invention includes a box liner assembly, which can be the box liner assembly described in any of the above embodiments. The refrigerator can be a French refrigerator, the bottom of the refrigerator can be a drawer-type door body, and the top of the refrigerator can be an open-door door body. Figure 1 As shown, the above-mentioned box liner assembly can be arranged at the bottom of the refrigerator and correspond to the drawer-type door body in the front and rear directions.

[0072] Although the above embodiments have been shown and described, it is understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. Changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of the above embodiments made by ordinary technicians in this field are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
