[0036] Please see Figure 1-4 This application proposes a door 1 for a refrigerator, wherein a display component is provided on the door 1, and the display component includes a display box 2 and a hidden cover 3;

[0037] The display box 2 has a fixing groove 201, and a first fixing hole 202 is provided in the fixing groove 201. The display box 2 is fixedly connected to the door 1 by a fixing member passing through the first fixing hole 202.

[0038] The hidden cover 3 is disposed at the opening of the fixing groove 201, and the hidden cover 3 is snapped to the fixing groove 201, and the top surface of the hidden cover 3 is flush with the top surface of the display box 2.

[0039] By using the snap-fit ​​connection between the hidden cover 3 and the display box 2, and the flush design between the top surface of the hidden cover 3 and the top surface of the display box 2, all fasteners (such as screws) are successfully hidden, avoiding the problem of fasteners being directly exposed in traditional designs. This makes the appearance of the refrigerator door 1 neater and smoother, enhancing the overall aesthetics and sense of quality of the product.

[0040] Although the fasteners are hidden, the display box 2 is firmly connected to the door 1 through the first fixing hole 202, ensuring the stability and safety of the display components. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​connection design provides additional fixing force to prevent the hidden cover 3 from falling off or loosening during long-term use.

[0041] Understandably, the integrated display component can display information such as the temperature, humidity, and food storage status inside the refrigerator, and even support smart interconnection functions, such as remote control and voice interaction, greatly enhancing user convenience and intelligent experience. At the same time, the clear display interface and intuitive operating logic allow users to easily obtain the information they need and enjoy a more intelligent life. The display component is a well-known technology in the field, and its specific working principle and circuit principle will not be elaborated upon here.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, mounting plates 301 are provided on both sides of the hidden cover 3, and snap-fit ​​grooves 302 are provided on the outer side of the mounting plates 301.

[0043] Both sides of the fixing groove 201 are provided with buckle strips 203, and the buckle strips 203 are buckled to the buckle groove 302.

[0044] The combination of the latching slot 302 and the latching strip 203 not only achieves a quick and stable connection between the hidden cover 3 and the display box 2, but also enhances the structural stability of the entire display component through multi-point locking. This allows the display component to maintain better stability and durability when facing external impacts or vibrations during long-term use, thus extending the product's service life.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, both the top surface of the hidden cover 3 and the top surface of the display box 2 are wavy.

[0046] The wave-shaped design creates a smooth and continuous line at the connection between the hidden cover 3 and the display box 2, making it almost impossible to distinguish the boundary between the two visually. This greatly enhances the integrity and coordination of the display components, making the appearance of the refrigerator door 1 neater and more unified, and improving the overall aesthetics of the product.

[0047] Furthermore, the wavy surface design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also enhances the structural strength of the display box 2 and the concealed cover 3 to a certain extent. The wavy surface can disperse the impact of external forces on the material, reduce stress concentration, and thus improve the product's durability and impact resistance.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the door 1 includes a decorative cover 101 and a door frame 102, and the door frame 102 is connected to the refrigerator via a door hinge.

[0049] By dividing the door body 1 into two parts, a decorative cover 101 and a door frame 102, the manufacturer can select materials and optimize processes for each part separately. In particular, the decorative cover 101, using vacuum forming technology, can not only achieve a variety of shapes but also reduce mold opening costs, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing costs. This allows the manufacturer to adjust production strategies more flexibly while ensuring product quality, meeting the needs of different markets and consumers.

[0050] The decorative cover 101, as the exterior part of the door 1, can be quickly updated and changed in shape and color according to fashion trends and consumer preferences, so that the refrigerator product can keep up with market trends and maintain freshness and attractiveness; at the same time, the door frame 102, as the connecting part, has a relatively stable structure and does not need to be replaced frequently, further reducing maintenance costs.

[0051] As the core structural part of the door body 1, the door frame 102 is connected to the refrigerator body through the door hinge, ensuring the stability and durability of the door body 1. The door frame 102 is usually made of high-strength material, which can withstand greater external forces and impacts, ensuring the safety and reliability of the door body 1 in long-term use. In addition, the decorative cover 101 is not subjected to force, thus extending the service life of the decorative cover 101.

[0052] In some embodiments, the door frame member 102 is an extruded frame strip, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, door corner brackets 4 are connected to all four corners of the door frame component 102.

[0053] The combined design of the extruded frame strip and door corner bracket 4 allows manufacturers to adjust the width and height of the door body 1 as needed. The same set of molds can produce door bodies 1 in various sizes to meet the needs of different refrigerator models and sizes.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, a first latching groove 401302 is provided on one side of the door corner bracket 4, and a second latching groove 402302 is also provided on the side adjacent to the first latching groove 401302; the door frame 102 is provided with a latching bracket 103, and both the first latching groove 401302 and the second latching groove 402302 are latched and connected to the latching bracket 103.

[0055] The design of the first latching groove 401302 and the second latching groove 402302 provides a dual locking mechanism, which fixes each door corner bracket 4 to the two right-angled sides of each corner of the door frame 102, ensuring a firm connection between the door corner bracket 4 and the door frame 102, effectively preventing the door body 1 from loosening or deforming due to external forces during use, and improving the overall stability of the door body 1.

[0056] Compared to traditional screw fixing or welding methods, the snap-fit ​​connection method has higher assembly efficiency. Operators only need to align the snap-fit ​​bracket 103 of the door frame component 102 with the snap-fit ​​slot 302 of the door corner bracket 4 and press it lightly to complete the connection. No complicated tools or operating steps are required, which reduces assembly difficulty and labor costs, improves production efficiency, and also reduces the risk of damage caused by improper operation.

[0057] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a stop plate 403 is provided at the opening of both the first snap-fit ​​groove 401302 and the second snap-fit ​​groove 402302;

[0058] The buckle bracket 103 is provided with a buckle protrusion 104 on the side near the door corner code 4. The width of the buckle protrusion 104 gradually decreases from the direction away from the door corner code 4 to the direction closer to the door corner code 4. A flange plate 105 is provided at the end of the buckle protrusion 104 near the door corner code 4. The flange plate 105 abuts against the stop plate 403.

[0059] The design of the stop plate 403 effectively prevents the buckle protrusion 104 from accidentally slipping off during the connection process, ensuring a stable connection between the door corner bracket 4 and the door frame 102, improving the overall structural stability of the door body 1, and making the door body 1 less prone to loosening or deformation during long-term use. The contact between the flange plate 105 and the stop plate 403 further enhances the firmness of the connection, allowing the connection part to better distribute stress when under force, avoiding damage caused by stress concentration.

[0060] The gradually decreasing width of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 104 makes it easier to insert into the snap-fit ​​groove 302 during assembly and automatically position itself when the flange plate 105 reaches the stop plate 403, thereby improving assembly accuracy and efficiency and reducing assembly difficulty and labor costs.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the door corner bracket 4 is provided with a second fixing hole 404, and the door corner bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the door frame member 102 through the second fixing hole 404 by a fastener.

[0062] The combination of the second fixing hole 404 and the fixing piece provides an additional fixing point for the connection between the door corner bracket 4 and the door frame piece 102, forming a double guarantee with the previous snap-fit ​​connection, greatly enhancing the stability of the connection, and making the door 1 more stable and reliable in long-term use.

[0063] By fixing the door corner bracket 4 to the door frame piece 102 with fasteners (such as screws, bolts, etc.), the efficiency and accuracy of assembly can be greatly improved. The operator only needs to pass the fastener through the second fixing hole 404 and tighten it to complete the connection, without complicated operation steps and positioning adjustments.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the door frame 102 has several adhesive application surfaces 106 on the side near the decorative cover 101, and the adhesive application surfaces 106 are flat.

[0065] The flat adhesive surface 106 provides a stable contact area, allowing the adhesive to be evenly distributed and firmly adhered between the door frame 102 and the decorative cover 101, greatly enhancing the stability of the connection and ensuring that the decorative cover 101 is not easily detached or loosened during use. It should be noted that the higher the flatness of the adhesive surface 106, the better the adhesive bonding effect and the higher the strength of the joint.

[0066] In addition, the flat adhesive surface 106 can form a tight seal, effectively preventing moisture, dust and other external substances from seeping into the gap between the door body 1 and the decorative cover 101, improving the overall sealing performance of the door body 1 and extending its service life.

[0067] This application also proposes a refrigerator, which includes a cabinet and a door 1 as described in any of the above claims, wherein the cabinet and the door 1 are connected by a door hinge.

[0068] The optimized door structure, including the sturdy connection of the door corner bracket 4, the flat and fixed decorative cover 101, and the overall appearance design, makes the refrigerator door 1 more beautiful and harmonious. This not only enhances the visual effect of the refrigerator but also allows it to better integrate into various home decoration styles.

[0069] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
