[0030] In this application, the term "exemplary" is used to mean "serving as an example, illustration, or illustration." Any embodiment described as "exemplary" in this application is not necessarily to be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments. The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] This application provides a door assembly, such as... Figures 1-10 As shown, the door assembly includes a door body 100 and a bracket 200. The bracket 200 includes a bottom wall 210 and a side wall 220. The side wall 220 is arranged around the periphery of the bottom wall 210 to form an accommodating space with a first opening 201 at the top. The side wall 220 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 230, and the groove opening of the arc-shaped groove 230 faces the outside of the bracket 200. The arc-shaped groove 230 includes a first groove bottom 231 and a first groove wall 232 formed around the first groove bottom 231. The side of the first groove wall 232 facing the bottom wall 210 is provided with a second opening 233. The door body 100 is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion 110, which can be inserted into the arc-shaped groove 230 from the second opening 233 to support the bracket 200.

[0032] The bracket 200 can be used to store beverage bottles, condiment bottles and other items. Users can put the items into its storage space through the first opening 201 at the top of the bracket 200. The material of the bracket 200 is not limited to plastic, metal, tempered glass or other materials.

[0033] The door assembly provided in this application embodiment features an arc-shaped protrusion 110 on the door body 100 and an arc-shaped groove 230 on the side wall 220 of the bracket 200. The arc-shaped groove 230 includes a first groove bottom 231 and a first groove wall 232 formed around the first groove bottom 231. The first groove wall 232 has a second opening 233 on the side facing the bottom wall 210 of the bracket 200. The arc-shaped protrusion 110 can be inserted into the arc-shaped groove 230 through the second opening 233 to support the bracket 200. When the arc-shaped protrusion 110 is engaged in the arc-shaped groove 230, the two cooperate to form an arc-shaped track-type limit, making it less likely for the bracket 200 to loosen or fall off when subjected to an upward force, thereby improving the user experience.

[0034] Understandably, existing brackets, due to their typically vertical limiting structure, require the use of tape to secure the bracket 200 to the door after installation to prevent it from falling off during transportation. However, using tape increases costs. This application addresses this issue by using an arc-shaped protrusion 110 on the door 100 to cooperate with an arc-shaped groove 230 on the bracket 200 to form an arc-shaped track-like limiting mechanism. This makes the bracket 200 less prone to falling off when subjected to upward force, thereby reducing the use of tape and lowering costs.

[0035] Optionally, the arc-shaped groove 230 has a closed end and an open end with a second opening 233, the width of which is greater than the width of the closed end. By setting the width of the open end to be greater than the width of the closed end, this application provides a wider lateral width to the arc-shaped protrusion 110 when the bracket 200 is supported on the arc-shaped protrusion 110, allowing the arc-shaped protrusion 110 to enter the arc-shaped groove 230 more easily, making the installation process of the bracket 200 smoother and improving installation efficiency.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the side wall 220 of the bracket 200 includes a front side wall 221, a left side wall 222, a rear side wall 223, and a right side wall 224 connected in sequence. The front side wall 221 and the rear side wall 223 are arranged opposite to each other, and the left side wall 222 and the right side wall 224 are arranged opposite to each other. The outer surface of the left side wall 222 and the outer surface of the right side wall 224 are provided with arc-shaped grooves 230. The closed end of the arc-shaped grooves 230 bends toward the front side wall 221. The middle part of the door body 100 is recessed to the side away from the bracket 200 to form a mounting groove 120. The mounting groove 120 includes a second groove bottom 121 and two second groove walls 122 arranged opposite to each other. The two second groove walls 122 are provided with arc-shaped protrusions 110. The arc-shaped protrusions 110 bend and extend toward the groove opening of the mounting groove 120. The arc-shaped protrusions 110 on the two second groove walls 122 are correspondingly engaged in the arc-shaped grooves 230 on the left side wall 222 and the right side wall 224. This application provides a curved groove 230 with its closed end bent toward the front sidewall 221 and a curved protrusion 110 bent toward the opening of the mounting groove 120. This allows the curved protrusion 110 to more easily enter the curved groove 230 from the second opening 233 when the bracket 200 is supported on the curved protrusion 110, making the installation process of the bracket 200 more convenient.

[0037] Optionally, the arc-shaped groove 230 is provided on the side of the left side wall 222 and the right side wall 224 near the rear side wall 223. That is, the arc-shaped groove 230 on the left side wall 222 is provided on the side of the left side wall 222 near the rear side wall 223, and the arc-shaped groove 230 on the right side wall 224 is provided on the side of the right side wall 224 near the rear side wall 223. This arrangement allows the bracket 200 to extend further out of the slot 120, making it easier for the user to put items into or take items out of the bracket 200.

[0038] Optionally, the inner surface of the front sidewall 221 and the inner surface of the bottom wall 210 are set at an obtuse angle, that is, the front sidewall 221 of the bracket 200 and the bottom wall 210 of the bracket 200 are set at an obtuse angle, and the obtuse angle formed by the front sidewall 221 of the bracket 200 and the bottom wall 210 of the bracket 200 faces inward towards the inside of the bracket 200. This makes the top of the bracket 200 flare out towards the side away from the door 100, so that it is convenient for the user to put items into the bracket 200 or take items out of the bracket 200.

[0039] Optionally, the upper end of the front sidewall 221 is provided with a notch (not shown) that communicates with the first opening 201. This can reduce the height of the front sidewall 221, making it easier for users to put items into or take items out of the tray 200. It also reduces the chance of users hitting the edge of the tray 200 when placing items into the tray 200.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, combined with Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the arc-shaped groove 230 is formed by a partial inward indentation of the side wall 220 of the bracket 200. The second opening 233 of the arc-shaped groove 230 extends to the bottom wall 210 of the bracket 200. In this design, the depth of the arc-shaped groove 230 is greater than the thickness of the side wall 220 of the bracket 200. Alternatively, the arc-shaped groove 230 can be directly formed on the outer surface of the side wall 220 of the bracket 200, with the second opening 233 extending to the bottom wall 210 of the bracket 200. In this design, the depth of the arc-shaped groove 230 is less than the thickness of the side wall 220 of the bracket 200.

[0041] Optionally, the length of the arc-shaped protrusion 110 is less than the length of the arc-shaped groove 230, which makes the bracket 200 more securely supported on the arc-shaped protrusion 110, preventing the bracket 200 from becoming loose or falling off. Specifically, when the bracket 200 needs to be supported on the arc-shaped protrusion 110, first, let the front end of the arc-shaped protrusion 110 enter the arc-shaped groove 230 through the second opening 233, and then push the bracket 200 along the arc-shaped protrusion 110 until the front end of the arc-shaped protrusion 110 abuts against the closed end of the arc-shaped groove 230, thus completing the installation of the bracket 200.

[0042] Optional, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the arc-shaped protrusion 110 has an end face 111 facing the bracket 200. The end face 111 is parallel to the inner surface of the first groove bottom 231 to guide the arc-shaped protrusion 110 into the arc-shaped groove 230 from the second opening 233. When the bracket 200 is placed on the arc-shaped protrusion 110, the inner surface of the first groove bottom 231 provides a guide stroke to the end face 111 of the arc-shaped protrusion 110, making the installation process of the bracket 200 smoother.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 10 As shown, a raised rib 211 is provided at the outer edge of the bottom wall 210 of the bracket 200. By providing a raised rib 211 at the outer edge of the bottom wall 210 of the bracket 200, this application can prevent the bottom wall 210 of the bracket 200 from contacting the item with a large area when the bracket 200 is placed on it, thereby avoiding wear on the bottom wall 210 of the bracket 200 and improving the service life of the bracket 200.

[0044] This application also provides a refrigerator, which includes a cabinet and a door assembly. The specific structure of the door assembly is as described in the above embodiment. The cabinet has a third opening, and the door 100 in the door assembly is connected to the cabinet to open or close the third opening. The bracket 200 in the door assembly can be installed on the side of the door 100 near the cabinet.

[0045] 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 repeated here.

[0046] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.
