The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more associated items.

[0036] Generally, a drawer is usually arranged in the refrigeration chamber of the refrigerator to store food, achieving the purpose of preservation.

[0037] In the related art, the refrigerator includes an evaporator (cold source) and a return air inlet. The evaporator is located at the back or bottom of the refrigerator, used to generate cold air, and the cold air is uniformly distributed to each corner of the interior of the refrigerator through an air duct. The return air inlet is usually arranged on one side close to the refrigerator door, used to re-introduce the cold air into the air duct to form an air circulation field.

[0038] The front side of the drawer is usually at the return air inlet, and the water vapor generated by the transpiration of the food in the drawer is easily taken away by the air field, causing the food to lose water and aggravate the storage of the food.

[0039] To this end, the embodiments of the present application provide a refrigerator to improve the sealing performance of the drawer, thereby improving the preservation function of the refrigerator.

[0040] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 1 the structural schematic diagram of the drawer 1, the cover plate 2 and the partition plate 4 of the refrigerator provided by the embodiments of the present application; Figure 2 is Figure 1 the exploded view of the structure in Figure 3 is Figure 1 the schematic diagram of the structure in Figure 4 is Figure 3 the sectional view along the A-A direction; Figure 5 is Figure 4 the local enlarged view of B in

[0041] The refrigerator of the embodiment comprises a cabinet, a partition plate 4, a drawer 1, a cover plate 2 and a sealing member 3. The partition plate 4 is fixedly connected in the cabinet and separates a refrigeration chamber. The drawer 1 has an opening 111 and is arranged in the refrigeration chamber in a push-pull manner. The cover plate 2 is movably connected to the bottom surface of the partition plate 4 and is used to move towards the opening 111 and cover the opening 111. The sealing member 3 comprises a first part 31 and a second part 32 connected together. The first part 31 is fixedly connected with the cover plate 2. The second part 32 extends towards the partition plate 4 and is used to abut against the inner side wall of the drawer 1 to block the gap between the cover plate 2 and the inner side wall of the drawer 1.

[0042] The cabinet has a hollow structure of a cuboid and is configured as an outer shell of the refrigerator. It can be understood that the cabinet can also have a hollow shell structure of other shapes. The cabinet is made of high-strength material, such as stainless steel, and has good heat insulation performance and durability. Heat insulation material is installed in the interior of the cabinet to improve the heat preservation performance of the refrigerator. The interior of the cabinet can be provided with multiple refrigeration chambers separated from each other, such as a freezing chamber and a refrigerating chamber, to meet different refrigeration requirements such as freezing and refrigeration according to different types of food materials. The multiple refrigeration chambers can be arranged in an up-down or left-right manner. The front side of the cabinet has a cabinet door. The cabinet door and the cabinet shell can be connected by a hinge, so that the cabinet door of the refrigerator can rotate around the axis of the hinge to realize the opening and closing of the refrigerator. It should be noted that the up-down and front-back directions described in the embodiment refer to the direction of the front face of the refrigerator facing the human body, with the side close to the human body being the front side and the side away from the human body being the back side. Figure 2

[0043] The partition plate 4 is made of a solid material, such as hard plastic or stainless steel, and is fixed in the interior of the cabinet by welding, bolt connection or other methods, which can effectively separate the space and bear a certain weight. The partition plate 4 separates the refrigeration chamber in the interior of the cabinet, and the refrigeration chamber has a suitable space size for storing various food.

[0044] The drawer 1 can be made of plastic or metal material, thereby having good strength and corrosion resistance. The shape of the drawer 1 is matched with the refrigeration chamber to maximize the use of the space in the refrigeration chamber, which can be square. The drawer 1 has an upward opening 111. The outer side or bottom of the drawer 1 is provided with a pulley or guide rail, so that the drawer 1 can be smoothly pushed and pulled in the refrigeration chamber, thereby facilitating the user to take and place the articles.

[0045] The cover plate 2 is movably connected to the bottom surface of the partition plate 4, such as being connected to the bottom surface of the partition plate 4 by a hinge, a slide rail, a snap buckle or other movable connection methods, and has a certain stroke in the vertical direction, so that the cover plate 2 can move towards the drawer 1 under its own gravity and cover the opening 111 of the drawer 1. In this way, the bottom surface of the cover plate 2 better matches the end surface of the opening 111, thereby sealing the opening 111 of the drawer 1.​

[0046] To further improve the sealing performance of the drawer 1, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 5 illustrated, the present embodiment also provides a sealing member 3, which includes a first part 31 and a second part 32, wherein the first part 31 is connected at the edge of the cover plate 2. Specifically, at the edge of the cover plate 2, a structure connected with the sealing member 3 is provided, such as a groove, a flange, etc., to ensure that the sealing member 3 can be firmly fixed on the cover plate 2. The second part 32 of the sealing member 3 extends towards the direction of the partition plate 4, which is located above the cover plate 2, that is, the second part 32 is raised towards the upper side of the cover plate 2. When the drawer 1 is in a closed state, the second part 32 of the sealing member 3 can deform under the pressure applied by the inner side wall of the drawer 1, tightly fit on the inner side wall of the drawer 1, thereby blocking the gap between the edge of the cover plate 2 and the inner side wall of the drawer 1, achieving good sealing effect. It can be seen that the refrigerator of the present embodiment can improve the sealing performance of the drawer 1, maintain the relative stability of the humidity inside the drawer 1, and thus improve the preservation function of the refrigerator.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first part 31 of the sealing member 3 is made of a hard material, and the second part 32 is made of a soft material. This design has many advantages. The first part 31 is made of a hard material, such as plastic or metal, which can provide good structural support and stability. The hard material can ensure that the sealing member 3 is firmly and reliably connected with the cover plate 2, and is not easily deformed or damaged. At the same time, the hard material is also easy to process and manufacture, and can be accurately formed according to different design requirements.

[0048] The second part 32 is made of a soft material, such as rubber or silicone, which has good elasticity and flexibility. When the cover plate 2 covers the opening 111 of the drawer 1, the second part 32 of the soft material can tightly abut the inner side wall of the drawer 1, adapt to different sizes of the drawer 1 and slight unevenness of the inner side wall of the drawer 1, thereby achieving good sealing effect. In addition, the soft material can also absorb vibrations and impacts to a certain extent, reducing the friction and wear between the sealing member 3 and the drawer 1, and prolonging the service life of the sealing member 3.

[0049] In one embodiment, the first part 31 and the second part 32 of the sealing member 3 are of an integrated structure. For example, such an integrated structure can be formed by injection molding, extrusion, etc. in one time, reducing the assembly process in the manufacturing process, improving the production efficiency and product quality. The integrated structure of the sealing member 3 can also ensure that the connection between the first part 31 and the second part 32 is firm and reliable, and is not easily separated or loose.

[0050] In another embodiment, the first part 31 and the second part 32 of the sealing member 3 are connected by adhesion. The adhesion can be achieved by using a suitable adhesive, such as rubber adhesive, silicon adhesive, etc. The adhesion has the advantages of simple operation and low cost.

[0051] In yet another embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 Fig. 3 is a schematic view of the structure of the sealing member 3 in this embodiment. The side edge of the cover plate 2 has a flange 21 extending towards the top of the cover plate 2. The first part 31 of the sealing member 3 has a clamping groove 311 that can be clamped to the flange 21. Through the cooperation of the clamping groove 311 and the flange 21, the sealing member 3 and the cover plate 2 can be quickly connected and detached.

[0052] The following is a specific embodiment of the sealing member 3, which combines the material selection and connection method described above: the sealing member 3 is composed of a first part 31 made of hard plastic and a second part 32 made of silicon. The first part 31 is formed by injection molding and has a certain thickness and strength. The clamping groove 311 is formed on the first part 31 for clamping connection with the flange 21 of the cover plate 2. The second part 32 of the sealing member 3 is formed by extrusion process and is a long strip of silicon. The thickness of the second part 32 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first part 31. This design allows the second part 32 to better adapt to different sizes and shapes of the inner side wall of the drawer 1 when it is in contact with the inner side wall, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0053] When installing the sealing member 3, the clamping groove 311 of the first part 31 is aligned with the flange 21 of the cover plate 2, and the sealing member 3 and the cover plate 2 can be quickly connected by gently pressing. When the drawer 1 is pushed and the cover plate 2 covers the opening 111 of the drawer 1, the silicon strip of the second part 32 tightly abuts the inner side wall of the drawer 1. Due to its good elasticity and flexibility, it can effectively seal the gap between the cover plate 2 and the inner side wall of the drawer 1, preventing cold air leakage and external air and moisture from entering the drawer 1.

[0054] In some embodiments, the drawer 1 includes a main body 11 and a panel 12 connected to the front side of the main body 11, and the sealing member 3 is connected to the side edge of the cover plate 2 facing the panel 12.

[0055] In this embodiment, the main body 11 can be connected by a bottom plate and three side plates, i.e., the drawer 1 is formed by the bottom plate, the panel 12, and the three side plates. Among them, the panel 12 is located at the front side of the drawer 1.

[0056] The return air outlet of the air field in the refrigerator is usually close to the front side of the opening 111 of the drawer 1. If the sealing performance of the drawer 1 is not good, the cold air can leak out from the front side of the opening 111, affecting the preservation effect of the drawer. In the embodiment, the sealing element 3 is connected to the side of the cover plate 2 facing the panel 12, which can effectively reduce the influence of the air field in the refrigerator and improve the sealing performance of the drawer 1. In addition, the sealing element 3 is connected to the side of the cover plate 2 facing the panel 12, which is very convenient to install and maintain. When installing, only the sealing element 3 needs to be fixed on the cover plate 2, without the need for complex modification of the drawer 1. When maintaining, if the sealing element 3 is damaged or aged, it can be easily replaced without affecting the normal use of the refrigerator.

[0057] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 the structural schematic diagram of the cover plate 2 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided; Figure 8 the structural schematic diagram of the partition plate 4 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided.

[0058] The bottom surface of the partition plate 4 has a fastener 41, the cover plate 2 has a first through hole 22 through which the fastener 41 can pass, the fastener 41 extends towards the opening 111, and the cover plate 2 can move along the extension direction of the fastener 41.

[0059] Further, a plurality of first through holes 22 are arranged on the cover plate 2.

[0060] In the embodiment, the fastener 41 is usually made of high-strength plastic or metal material and has a certain length and toughness. The installation position of the fastener 41 will affect the stability and reliability of the cover plate 2 during movement, and the number and distribution of the fastener 41 can be adjusted according to the size and weight of the cover plate 2. In the embodiment, in general, in order to ensure the balance and stability of the cover plate 2, the fasteners 41 of the embodiment are uniformly distributed on the bottom surface of the partition plate 4.

[0061] The cover plate 2 has a first through hole 22 through which the fastener 41 can pass, and a plurality of first through holes 22 are arranged on the cover plate 2. The number and position of the first through holes 22 correspond to the fasteners 41 on the bottom surface of the partition plate 4, so as to ensure that each fastener 41 can pass through the first through hole 22 on the cover plate 2. The size and shape of the first through hole 22 should be slightly larger than the diameter of the fastener 41, so that the fastener 41 can pass through, and at the same time, the cover plate 2 will not produce excessive shaking during movement.

[0062] The free end of the fastener 41 has a hook portion 411, which is used to hook the bottom surface of the cover plate 2. The hook portion 411 can tightly hook the bottom surface of the cover plate 2 when the cover plate 2 moves to a certain position, preventing the cover plate 2 from accidentally falling off. The shape of the hook portion 411 can be a boss shape.

[0063] The cover plate 2 can move along the extension direction of the fastener 41 under the action of its own gravity. When the drawer 1 is in an open state, the cover plate 2 is hung on the fastener 41 under the action of gravity. When the drawer 1 is pushed back into the refrigerating chamber, the opening 111 is gradually closed, and the cover plate 2 moves downward along the fastener 41 under the action of gravity, and finally is pressed on the end face of the opening 111 to achieve sealing. This movement mode is simple and reliable, does not require additional power devices, saves cost, and improves the reliability of the refrigerator.

[0064] The design that the plurality of fasteners 41 correspondingly insert the plurality of first through holes 22 makes the cover plate 2 more stable during movement. Compared with the traditional single connection mode, this design can better bear the weight of the cover plate 2 and prevent the cover plate 2 from tilting or shaking during movement. Meanwhile, the cover plate 2 can be tightly pressed on the end face of the opening 111 under the action of its own gravity, and the sealing performance of the drawer 1 is effectively improved by the action of the sealing member 3, thereby preventing cold air from leaking, maintaining the temperature stability in the drawer 1, and prolonging the preservation time of food.

[0065] When the drawer 1 is pushed in or pulled out, the panel 12 of the drawer 1 will contact the side edge of the partition plate 4. Therefore, the partition plate 4 of the present embodiment is additionally provided with a buffer strip 43.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the drawer 1 is pushed in or pulled out, the panel 12 of the drawer 1 will contact the side edge of the partition plate 4. Therefore, the partition plate 4 of the present embodiment is additionally provided with a buffer strip 43. As shown in Figure 5 The buffer strip 43 is arranged on the side edge of the partition plate 4 facing the panel 12. The buffer strip 43 arranged at this position can effectively reduce the impact force between the drawer 1 and the partition plate 4, and make the movement of the drawer 1 more stable.

[0067] The buffer strip 43 is usually made of materials with elasticity, such as rubber, silicone, etc. These materials have good elasticity and wear resistance, can quickly recover to the original state after bearing a certain pressure, and can withstand long-term use without damage.

[0068] The shape of the buffer strip 43 can be designed according to the shape of the partition plate 4 and the drawer 1, and is generally in the shape of a long strip. The size of the buffer strip 43 should be adjusted according to the size and weight of the drawer 1 to ensure that it can effectively play a buffering role. Generally, the length is adapted to the length of the side edge of the partition plate 4.

[0069] The buffer strip 43 can be installed on the side edge of the partition plate 4 by pasting, inlaying, etc. The pasting mode is to coat glue on the back of the buffer strip 43, and then directly paste it on the side edge of the partition plate 4. The inlaying mode is to open a groove on the side edge of the partition plate 4, inlay the buffer strip 43 in the groove, and then fix the buffer strip 43 in the groove by glue or other fixing modes.

[0070] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the partition plate 4 is provided with a lighting assembly, and the middle portion of the cover plate 2 is configured with a second through hole 23 for avoiding the lighting assembly.

[0071] The lighting assembly can adopt different types of lamps such as LED lamps, fluorescent lamps, etc. LED lamps have the advantages of energy saving, long service life, high brightness, etc., and are currently more commonly used lighting lamps.

[0072] The lighting assembly is installed on the bottom surface of the partition plate 4 and can be fixed on the bottom surface of the partition plate 4 by screws, buckles, etc. The middle portion of the cover plate 2 is configured with a second through hole 23 for avoiding the lighting assembly. The position of the second through hole 23 should correspond to the position of the lighting assembly to ensure that the light of the lighting assembly can pass through the second through hole 23 and irradiate to the inside of the drawer 1. The shape of the second through hole 23 can be designed according to the shape and size of the lighting assembly, and is generally circular, square, etc. The size of the second through hole 23 is larger than that of the lighting assembly to facilitate the installation and maintenance of the lighting assembly.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , wherein, Figure 9 is a partial enlarged view of C in Figure 4 , the top surface of the cover plate 2 has an annular groove 24 surrounding the second through hole 23;

[0074] The bottom surface of the partition plate 4 also has a stop edge 42 matched with the annular groove 24, and the stop edge 42 is used to insert into the annular groove 24 to seal the second through hole 23.

[0075] In this embodiment, the shape of the annular groove 24 can be circular, square or other shapes, and its depth and width should be designed according to actual needs to ensure that it can be tightly matched with the stop edge 42. Multiple annular grooves 24 can be provided to improve the sealing effect. Multiple annular grooves 24 can increase the contact area between the stop edge 42 and the annular groove 24, thereby better preventing the leakage of cold air.

[0076] The shape of the stop edge 42 should match the annular groove 24, and its height should be slightly larger than the depth of the annular groove 24 to ensure that it can be inserted into the annular groove 24 and form a good seal. The stop edge 42 can be formed by the bottom surface of the partition plate 4 protruding integrally, or can be made of rubber, silicone or other elastic materials to ensure that it can be tightly fitted when inserted into the annular groove 24, forming a good seal.

[0077] When the cover plate 2 covers the opening 111 of the drawer 1, the blocking edge 42 of the bottom surface of the partition plate 4 is inserted into the annular groove 24 of the top surface of the cover plate 2, forming a sealing structure, effectively preventing the cold air from leaking from the second through hole 23. This sealing structure can improve the sealing performance of the refrigerator, reduce the leakage of cold air, reduce the energy consumption of the refrigerator, and also improve the preservation effect of the refrigerator and prolong the storage time of food.
