[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. In addition, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. In the present utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" generally refer to the upper and lower positions of the device in actual use or operation, specifically the drawing directions in the accompanying drawings; while "inner" and "outer" refer to the outline of the device.

[0028] This application provides a stop member 1 to solve the problem of poor fixing stability of the stop member 1. The following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the stop 1 is applied to the refrigerator door 2 and includes a stop body 11 and a positioning part 12 connected to each other. The stop body 11 is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 111, which is used for the snap-fit ​​part 21 of the refrigerator door 2 to pass through, so as to fix the stop 1 to the refrigerator door 2; the positioning part 12 is used to insert into the positioning groove 22 of the refrigerator door 2.

[0030] It should be noted that the stop 1 refers to a structure that is fixedly installed on the refrigerator door 2 and abuts against the pivot of the refrigerator door 2 to limit the maximum opening angle of the refrigerator door 2.

[0031] It is understandable that by passing the snap-fit ​​part 21 through the snap-fit ​​hole 111, the stop member 1 can be limited in the first direction; by inserting the positioning part 12 into the positioning groove 22, the stop member 1 can be limited in the second direction. Here, the first direction and the second direction are different directions. In this embodiment, the first direction and the second direction are not specifically limited, thereby overcoming the problem of screw stripping in related technologies. Moreover, the stop member 1 can be fixed in different directions, ensuring the fixed stability of the stop member 1 and preventing the stop member 1 from rotating or displacing on the refrigerator door 2. In addition, if the snap-fit ​​hole 111 is set on the refrigerator door 2 and the snap-fit ​​part 21 is set on the stop member 1, since the inside of the refrigerator door 2 needs to be filled with foaming liquid, in order to avoid leakage, it is necessary to additionally seal the gap between the snap-fit ​​part 21 and the snap-fit ​​hole 111 on the refrigerator door 2, which increases the production steps and also poses a risk of failure. In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​part 21 and the snap-fit ​​hole 111 are snapped together on the outside of the refrigerator door 2, so that the refrigerator door 2 has good sealing performance, thereby avoiding the above-mentioned problems.

[0032] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the insertion direction of the positioning part 12 into the positioning groove 22 is the same as the insertion direction of the snap-fit ​​part 21 into the snap-fit ​​hole 111.

[0033] It should be noted that the insertion direction of the snap-fit ​​part 21 into the snap-fit ​​hole 111 is the first direction, and the snap-fit ​​part 21 also positions the stop member 1 at least in the first direction. After the positioning part 12 is inserted into the positioning groove 22, a constraint is formed between it and the side wall of the positioning groove 22. This constraint is located in the second direction, so the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. This is beneficial for providing the fixing stability of the stop member 1, and the consistent insertion direction facilitates the rapid completion of the installation of the stop member 1.

[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the stop member 1 also includes a connecting part 13 connected to the stop body 11. The connecting part 13 is used to insert into the reserved slot 23 of the refrigerator door 2. The connecting part 13 is provided with a rotating shaft hole 133 for rotating connection of the rotating shaft.

[0035] It should be noted that the pivot refers to the structure that enables the refrigerator door 2 to rotate, with the pivot as the center of rotation. The pre-drilled slot 23 refers to a hollow structure pre-drilled in the refrigerator door 2 for the insertion of the connecting part 13. It can be understood that by providing the connecting part 13 on the stop member 1, installation space is provided for the pivot that enables the rotation of the refrigerator door 2. For example, the depth of the pivot hole 133 is 10–20 mm.

[0036] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the connecting part 13 includes a peripheral wall 131 and an end wall 132 that are connected to each other. The peripheral wall 131 is located in the circumferential direction of the pivot hole 133, and the end wall 132 is located at one end of the pivot hole 133 and surrounds the peripheral wall 131 to form the pivot hole 133.

[0037] Understandably, by providing a matching connection part 13 according to the shape of the shaft, the fit of the shaft installation is improved.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting part 13 and the positioning part 12 are respectively provided on both sides of the snap-fit ​​hole 111 at intervals from the snap-fit ​​hole 111, and the depth of the rotating shaft hole 133 is greater than the depth of the snap-fit ​​hole 111.

[0039] It is understandable that by utilizing the snap-fit ​​hole 111, the connecting part 13, and the positioning part 12 together, the installation stability of the stop member 1 is improved. At the same time, by setting the connecting part 13 and the positioning part 12 in different directions centered on the snap-fit ​​hole 111, the snap-fit ​​reliability between the snap-fit ​​hole 111 and the snap-fit ​​part 21 is improved.

[0040] This application embodiment also provides a refrigerator door 2, which includes the aforementioned stop member 1. The specific structure of the stop member 1 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this refrigerator door 2 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. Figure 8 As shown, the refrigerator door 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 21 and a positioning groove 22. The snap-fit ​​part 21 passes through the snap-fit ​​hole 111 to snap with the stop member 1, and the positioning part 12 is inserted into the positioning groove 22.

[0041] The stop member 1 is positioned by the positioning groove 22 provided on the refrigerator door 2, and then the stop member 1 is snapped into place by the snap-fit ​​part 21. For example, the depth of the positioning groove 22 is 5 to 10 mm.

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer surface of the refrigerator door 2 is recessed inward to form a recess 24, and the snap-fit ​​part 21 is provided on the bottom wall of the recess 24 and extends out of the recess 24.

[0043] It should be noted that the recessed surface of the refrigerator door 2 forming the pit 24 means that the side wall and bottom wall of the pit 24 are integral with the outer surface of the refrigerator door 2, which can ensure the airtightness of the refrigerator door 2.

[0044] Understandably, by setting the snap-fit ​​part 21 on the bottom wall of the recess 24, the height of the snap-fit ​​part 21 can be extended along the direction in which it extends out of the recess 24, reducing the difficulty of deformation of the snap-fit ​​part 21 and facilitating the snap-fit ​​part 21 to engage with the snap-fit ​​hole 111. Furthermore, if the height of the snap-fit ​​part 21 is directly extended without setting the recess 24, the thickness of the stop member 1 needs to be increased. An increased thickness of the stop member 1 cannot maintain a gap with other structures, making it difficult for the refrigerator door 2 to rotate.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, the edge of the snap-fit ​​hole 111 facing the recess 24 is located outside the recess 24.

[0046] It is understandable that after the snap-fit ​​part 21 is snapped into the stop member 1 through the snap-fit ​​hole 111, the stop member 1 is located outside the recess 24, and there is no need to set an additional structure to be embedded in the recess 24, so as to reduce the requirements of the stop member 1 in terms of assembly accuracy.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer surface of the refrigerator door 2 is recessed inward to form a positioning groove 22 and a reserved groove 23. The positioning groove 22 and the reserved groove 23 are respectively spaced apart from the recess 24. The reserved groove 23 is used for the insertion of the connecting part 13 of the stop member 1.

[0048] It should be noted that the inward recess of the outer surface of the refrigerator door 2 to form the positioning groove 22 and the reserved groove 23 means that the side wall and bottom wall of the positioning groove 22, the side wall and bottom wall of the reserved groove 23 are integrally formed with the outer surface of the refrigerator door 2, ensuring the sealing of the refrigerator door 2 and preventing leakage of foaming liquid.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 As shown, the latching portion 21 includes a plurality of latches 211 arranged at intervals along a circular distribution trajectory. Each latch 211 includes an extension portion 2111 and an engaging portion 2112. The two ends of the extension portion 2111 are connected between the bottom wall of the recess 24 and the engaging portion 2112. Along the insertion direction of the latching portion 21 into the latching hole 111, the engaging portion 2112 and the edge of the opening of the recess 24 respectively abut against both sides of the stop member 1 to jointly clamp the stop member 1. For example, the circular distribution trajectory can be a closed loop, such as a circumferential distribution trajectory.

[0050] It should be noted that the hook 211 uses the engaging part 2112 to fix the stop 1. In this embodiment, the engaging part 2112 is bent and connected to one end of the extension 2111 in the direction away from the recess 24. The two engaging parts 2112 extend in opposite directions to form a hook 211 with their corresponding extension 2111.

[0051] Understandably, during the process of the engaging part 21 passing through the engaging hole 111 and engaging with the stop member 1, the multiple hooks 211, which are spaced apart, move closer to each other under the drive of the side wall of the engaging hole 111 to accommodate the engaging hole 111 and allow the engaging hole 111 to be fitted onto the multiple hooks 211. After the engaging part 2112 of the hook 211 passes through the engaging hole 111, the hook 211 returns to its original shape and hooks the stop member 1. By setting the engaging part 21 to include multiple hooks 211 that are easy to deform, the difficulty of deforming the engaging part 21 can be further reduced, making it easier for the engaging part 21 to engage with the engaging hole 111.

[0052] In some other embodiments, the latching part 21 includes four latches 211, which are arranged in pairs and spaced apart. The four latches 211 are equally spaced around the latching hole 111 to achieve positioning of the stop member 1 in multiple directions.

[0053] In some embodiments, the reserved groove 23, the positioning groove 22, and the recess 24 are all located on the lower or upper surface of the refrigerator door 2.

[0054] This application also provides a refrigerator, which includes the aforementioned refrigerator door 2 or the aforementioned stop member 1. The specific structure of the refrigerator door 2 is as described in the above embodiments, and the specific structure of the stop member 1 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this refrigerator adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. The refrigerator includes multiple refrigerator doors 2, and at least one refrigerator door 2 is provided with the aforementioned stop member 1.
