Figures 1 to 16 The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments.

[0058] In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, the meaning of "multiple groups" is two groups or more, the meaning of "multiple pieces" is two pieces or more, and the meaning of "several" is one or more, unless otherwise explicitly and specifically limited.
[0059] A refrigerator is a refrigeration device that maintains a constant low temperature, which can provide a suitable low-temperature environment for food, slow down the growth rate of bacteria in food, and prolong the shelf life of food.
[0060] The refrigerator includes a main body and a refrigerator door hinged to the main body. The main body is provided with a containing cavity with an opening, through which the user can place food in the containing cavity. The refrigerator door is used to block the opening of the containing cavity to reduce the loss of cold air in the containing cavity. In addition, a door handle is also provided on the refrigerator door, and the user can open and close the refrigerator door by pulling the door handle.
[0061] In the related art, for some refrigerator doors with small length size, the panel of the refrigerator door can be stamped to directly form a door handle with a length equal to that of the refrigerator door. For some refrigerator doors with large length size (such as double-door refrigerators), if the above method is used to directly stamp the panel of the refrigerator door, the middle region of the formed door handle lacks support, the strength of this region is weak, and the door handle is prone to deformation after long-term use, which can cause deformation of the entire refrigerator door.
[0062] For these refrigerator doors with large length size, some products install a door handle protruding from the surface of the panel of the refrigerator door on the surface of the panel of the refrigerator door. However, such a door handle protrudes from the refrigerator, and the user can collide with the door handle when passing by the refrigerator. Therefore, another part of the products forms a mounting hole in the panel of the refrigerator door, and installs a door handle in the mounting hole, so that the door handle can be embedded in the refrigerator door, reducing the probability of collision between the user and the door handle.
[0063] However, the mounting hole of the panel and the door handle need to be sealed to ensure the overall sealing of the refrigerator door, and the sealing area needs to cover all the gaps between the door handle and the mounting hole. Therefore, the area between the panel and the door handle that needs to be sealed is large, which makes the installation of the door handle and the panel difficult, and further reduces the overall assembly efficiency of the refrigerator.
[0064] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide a refrigerator door and a refrigerator. The refrigerator door includes a first half and a second half. The first half is provided with a bent portion and forms a door handle. The second half is connected to the first half. The second half and the bent portion are arranged along the length direction of the bent portion. A sealing assembly is arranged between the end of the bent portion and the second half. The end of the bent portion towards the second half and the end of the second half towards the bent portion are sealingly connected by the sealing assembly.
[0065] The refrigerator door provided by the embodiments of the present application has the following advantages. The bent portion is arranged on the first half to form the door handle, that is, the door handle is part of the panel. There is no connection gap between the bent portion and the first half, and no additional sealing treatment is required between the bent portion and the first half. Therefore, the size of the sealing area required by the door handle is reduced, which is beneficial to reduce the assembly difficulty of the refrigerator door and improve the assembly efficiency of the refrigerator door. The second half is arranged, and the second half and the bent portion are arranged along the length direction of the bent portion. The size of the bent portion can be smaller than the overall size of the refrigerator door. Therefore, the length of the bent portion can be limited and reduced, which is beneficial to ensure the overall strength of the door handle and reduce the deformation of the door handle, thereby reducing the overall deformation of the refrigerator door. The sealing assembly is arranged between the bent portion and the second half. The sealing assembly can seal the gap between the bent portion and the second half, thereby improving the overall sealing of the panel.

[0080] With reference to Figure 9 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 One of the first sealing member 21 and the second sealing member 22 is provided with a clamping groove 211, and the other is provided with a clamping buckle 221. The clamping buckle 221 and the clamping groove 211 are adapted to be clamped to connect the first sealing member 21 and the second sealing member 22. In some embodiments, the clamping buckle 221 is arranged on the first sealing member 21, and the clamping groove 211 is arranged on the second sealing member 22. In other embodiments, the clamping groove 211 is arranged on the first sealing member 21, and the clamping buckle 221 is arranged on the second sealing member 22.
[0081] The buckle 221 and the slot 211 are arranged on the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22, and the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 can be connected in a buckling manner. In this way, the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 can be connected without additional connectors, which facilitates the assembly of the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 and improves the assembly efficiency of the refrigerator door.
[0082] With reference to the foregoing Figures 13 to 15 , one of the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 is provided with a positioning groove 212, and the other is provided with a positioning protrusion 222. The positioning protrusion 222 is arranged in the positioning groove 212. In some embodiments, the positioning groove 212 is arranged on the first sealing element 21, and the positioning protrusion 222 is arranged on the second sealing element 22. In other embodiments, the positioning groove 212 is arranged on the second sealing element 22, and the positioning protrusion 222 is arranged on the first sealing element 21. The positioning groove 212 and the positioning protrusion 222 are arranged on the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22. During the assembly of the sealing assembly 2, the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 can be positioned by inserting the positioning protrusion 222 into the positioning groove 212. In this way, the positioning difficulty of the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 can be reduced, and the assembly efficiency of the refrigerator door can be improved.
[0083] In some embodiments, the surface of the first sealing element 21 is attached to the side of the bending portion 12 facing the center of the refrigerator door and the side of the second half portion 13 facing the center of the refrigerator door, respectively. Figure 14 and Figure 15 The first sealing element 21 includes a first surface 215 and a second surface 216. The first surface 215 is attached to the side of the bending portion 12 facing the center of the refrigerator door, and the second surface 216 is attached to the side of the second half portion 13 facing the center of the refrigerator door. By arranging the surface of the first sealing element 21 to be attached to the side of the bending portion 12 facing the center of the refrigerator door and the side of the second half portion 13 facing the center of the refrigerator door, respectively, the shape of the first sealing element 21 can adapt to the shapes of the bending portion 12 and the second half portion 13. In this way, the connection area between the first sealing element 21 and the bending portion 12 and the second half portion 13 can be increased, and the sealing of the gap between the bending portion 12 and the second half portion 13 can be improved.
[0084] In some embodiments, the surface of the first sealing element 21 and the panel 1 can be bonded by using glue. In other embodiments, the concave-convex structure between the first sealing element 21 and the bending portion 12 can be a interference fit. In this way, after the assembly of the first sealing element 21 and the panel 1 is completed, no gap can be generated between the first sealing element 21 and the bending portion 12 and the second half portion 13. In this way, the first sealing element 21 and the panel 1 can be bonded without using glue.
[0085] With reference to the foregoingFigure 16 , along the second direction, the end surface of the bending portion 12 and the end surface of the second half portion 13 have a mounting gap 14, refer to Figure 12 and Figure 14 , the first sealing member 21 is provided with a mounting groove 213 on the side facing the mounting gap 14, the mounting groove 213 is in communication with the mounting gap 14, and a part of the second sealing member 22 is inserted into the mounting groove 213 after penetrating through the mounting gap 14. By providing the mounting groove 213, a part of the second sealing member 22 is arranged in the mounting groove 213 through the mounting gap 14, so that the size of the second sealing member 22 protruding from the surface of the panel 1 can be reduced, which is beneficial to improve the appearance of the refrigerator door.
[0086] refer to Figure 16 , along the second direction, the end surface of the bending portion 12 and the end surface of the second half portion 13 are spaced apart by a distance L1, and L1≥3mm. By setting the spacing distance between the end surface of the bending portion 12 and the end surface of the second half portion 13 along the second direction to be not less than 3mm, the bending portion 12 can be conveniently punched and bent by using a punching die, so as to form a door handle on the panel 1; in addition, the end surface of the bending portion 12 and the end surface of the second half portion 13 are spaced apart, which can facilitate the installation of the sealing assembly 2 between the bending portion 12 and the second half portion 13, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the refrigerator door.
