[0014] In some embodiments, the connecting portion has a first side and a second side parallel to the first cabinet door, the outer shell has a third side facing away from the first cabinet door and towards the inner container, and the inner container has a fourth side facing towards the first cabinet door, the first side and the second side are respectively attached to the third side and the fourth side.

[0015] By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment, in the process of opening and closing the first cabinet door, the turnover beam of the first cabinet door will collide with the inner wall of the guide channel of the guide member, at this time, the main body will apply a supporting force to the guide member, and in this process, the part of the guide member connected with the main body is a stress concentration area; by attaching the first side and the second side of the connecting portion to the third side and the fourth side respectively, that is, the connecting portion can be attached to the outer shell and the inner container, thus the interaction force between the guide member and the main body can act on these attached surfaces, and the larger the area of these attached surfaces is, the more dispersed the stress of the part of the guide member connected with the main body is, the lower the possibility of loosening between the connecting portion and the outer shell and the inner container is, thus the guide member is less likely to deviate in position, and the guide member can accurately guide the turnover beam to rotate to a preset position to seal the gap between the first cabinet door and the second cabinet door.

[0016] In some embodiments, an edge of the inner container is provided with a first groove, and a part of the connecting portion is inserted into the first groove, and the side surface of the connecting portion is attached to the side wall of the first groove.

[0017] By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment, by arranging a part of the connecting portion to be inserted into the first groove, and the side surface of the connecting portion to be attached to the side wall of the first groove, the area of the attached surface between the connecting portion and the inner container can be further increased, and thus the possibility of loosening between the connecting portion and the inner container is reduced.

[0019] By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment, the edge of the shell is provided with the second groove, and the edge of the inner container and the connecting part are arranged in the second groove, the clamping force of the third side and the fifth side of the second groove on the connecting part and the inner container can fix the connecting part between the inner container and the shell, thus, the shell and the inner container can be connected without additional connecting parts, which can reduce the number of parts of the refrigerator and help to reduce the assembly difficulty of the refrigerator; in addition, the force exerted by the fifth side of the second groove of the shell on the inner container can be transmitted to the connecting part of the guide through the inner container, thus, the connecting part can be clamped between the edge of the shell and the edge of the inner container.

[0020] In some embodiments, the edge of the shell is provided with a bending part, and the concave part of the bending part forms the second groove.

[0021] By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment, the edge of the shell is provided with the bending part, and the concave part of the bending part forms the second groove, thus, the side wall at the opening of the second groove can be a smooth curved surface, that is, the part of the edge of the shell abutting with the connecting part of the guide can be a smooth curved surface, which can reduce the wear of the connecting part of the guide by the shell, reduce the risk of the connecting part being thinned by wear and separated from the shell and the inner container, so that the connecting part can be clamped between the edge of the shell and the edge of the inner container, thereby reducing the position deviation of the guide during the opening and closing of the first box door, and further improving the sealing performance of the refrigerator.

[0024] In some embodiments, one of the guide piece and the inner container is provided with a buckle, and the other of the guide piece and the inner container is provided with a clamping groove, and the buckle is arranged in the clamping groove.

[0025] By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment, the guide piece is provided with the buckle, the inner container is provided with the clamping groove, and the buckle is arranged in the clamping groove. In other embodiments, the buckle can also be arranged in the inner container, and the clamping groove can be correspondingly arranged in the guide piece. By arranging the buckle and the clamping groove, the guide piece can be fixed to the inner container in a buckled manner, so that the guide piece and the main body have two fixing modes of clamping and buckling, which can improve the connection stability between the guide piece and the main body, help to reduce the relative movement between the guide piece and the main body during the opening and closing of the first box door, thereby reducing the positional deviation of the guide piece relative to the main body, so that the turnover beam can be turned to a preset position, and the air tightness of the refrigerator is improved.

[0026] In some embodiments, the buckle is arranged on the side of the guide piece away from the connecting part.

[0027] By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment,

[0028] In some embodiments, the guide piece is provided with a first magnet, the inner container is provided with a second magnet, and the first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically attracted.

[0029] By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment,

[0030] In some embodiments, one of the guide piece and the inner container is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the other of the guide piece and the inner container is provided with a positioning groove, and the positioning protrusion is arranged in the positioning groove.

[0031] By adopting the technical solution of this embodiment, by setting the buckle on the side of the guide member away from the connecting part, the buckle and the groove forming the fastening structure and the connecting part can be located on both sides of the guide member respectively. In this way, the main body can apply a fixing force to the guide member from both sides of the guide member, which helps to balance the force on the guide member and thus reduces the possibility of the guide member shifting position.

[0032] In some embodiments, the guide is disposed on the top wall of the receiving cavity, the guide has a first limiting surface disposed at an angle to a first direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the top wall of the receiving cavity, and at least one of the outer shell and the inner liner is provided with a second limiting surface, the second limiting surface being located at the bottom of the first limiting surface and abutting against the first limiting surface.

[0054] 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. With the change of dietary life and the trend of product sophistication, refrigerators gradually develop towards large capacity, and some merchants have launched side-by-side refrigerator products.

[0055] The side-by-side refrigerator generally includes a main body and a side-by-side door assembly provided on the main body. The main body is provided with a containing cavity for storing food. The side-by-side door assembly includes a first cabinet door and a second cabinet door. The two sides of the first cabinet door and the second cabinet door are respectively hinged to the main body. The first cabinet door and the second cabinet door can be opened simultaneously or only one of them can be opened. In addition, the side-by-side refrigerator also includes a turnover beam connected to the first cabinet door. When the first cabinet door and the second cabinet door are both closed, the turnover beam can abut the side surface of the first cabinet door and the second cabinet door to block the gap between the first cabinet door and the second cabinet door, thereby reducing the leakage of cold air in the containing cavity.

[0056] In the related art, the turnover beam can be rotatably connected to the first cabinet door. In order not to affect the separate opening of the first cabinet door, a guide member is usually provided on the refrigerator main body. The guide member is used to guide the rotation of the turnover beam, so that when the first cabinet door is opened separately, the turnover beam can rotate relative to the first cabinet door to separate from the second cabinet door.

[0057] In some products, the guide needs to be connected to the main body by screws, but the screw parts are small in size and are easy to be lost during the assembly of the refrigerator, thereby affecting the assembly process. Therefore, in some products, the guide and the main body are provided with a clamping structure, and the guide can be fixed to the main body by the clamping structure. However, during the opening and closing of the first box door, the turnover beam collides with the guide, causing vibration between the guide and the main body. After long-term use, the clamping structure between the guide and the main body is easy to disengage, causing the guide and the main body to loosen and move relatively. As a result, the position of the turnover beam deviates from the positions of the first box door and the second box door during rotation, causing a gap between the turnover beam and the box door, thereby reducing the sealing performance of the refrigerator. The cold air in the accommodation cavity is easy to flow out of the gap, thereby reducing the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator.

[0058] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a refrigerator, which includes a main body, a split door assembly, a turnover beam and a guide. The main body includes an inner container and an outer shell. The inner container is provided with an accommodation cavity, and the accommodation cavity has an opening. The outer shell is arranged on the side of the inner container away from the accommodation cavity, and the edge of the outer shell abuts the edge of the inner container. The split door assembly includes a first box door and a second box door arranged in a direction parallel to the main body. The opposite sides of the first box door and the second box door are respectively rotationally connected to the main body to open or close the opening of the accommodation cavity. The turnover beam is arranged on the first box door and rotationally connected to the first box door. When the first box door and the second box door both close the opening, the turnover beam can be rotated to a position blocking the gap between the first box door and the second box door. When the first box door opens the opening, the turnover beam can be rotated relative to the first box door to separate from the second box door. The guide is arranged on the inner wall of the accommodation cavity and located at the opening of the accommodation cavity. During the opening and closing of the first box door, the guide is used to connect to the end of the turnover beam and push the turnover beam to rotate. The guide is provided with a connecting portion, which is clamped between the outer shell and the inner container. The two sides of the connecting portion respectively abut the edges of the outer shell and the inner container.

[0059] Thus, the connecting portion of the guide member is clamped between the outer shell and the inner container, and the two sides of the connecting portion can be subjected to the force of the outer shell and the inner container, respectively. The guide member can be clamped by the outer shell and the inner container. Thus, the connection stability of the guide member and the main body can be improved, and the positional deviation of the guide member relative to the main body is reduced. Thus, the guide member can guide the turnover beam of the first box door to rotate to a predetermined position, and the turnover beam can seal the gap between the first box door and the second box door, thereby improving the sealing performance of the refrigerator. In addition, the connecting portion of the guide member is clamped between the outer shell and the inner container. When the turnover beam on the first box door collides with the guide member, the outer shell and the inner container can clamp the guide member. Thus, the vibration of the guide member after being subjected to the collision can be reduced. Thus, the possibility of positional deviation of the guide member relative to the main body can be further reduced. The guide member can guide the turnover beam to rotate to a predetermined position to seal the gap between the first box door and the second box door, thereby further improving the sealing performance of the refrigerator.

[0060] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The refrigerator provided by the embodiments of the present application includes a main body, a pair of doors assembly (not shown in the figure), a turnover beam (not shown in the figure), and a guide member 1. The main body includes an inner container 2 and an outer shell 3. The inner container 2 is provided with a receiving cavity 21 having an opening. The outer shell 3 is arranged on the side of the inner container 2 away from the receiving cavity 21, and the edge of the outer shell 3 abuts against the edge of the inner container 2. The pair of doors assembly includes a first box door and a second box door arranged in a direction parallel to the main body. The opposite sides of the first box door and the second box door are respectively rotationally connected to the main body to open or close the opening of the receiving cavity 21. The turnover beam is arranged on the first box door and rotationally connected to the first box door. When the first box door and the second box door both close the opening, the turnover beam can rotate to a position to block the gap between the first box door and the second box door. When the first box door opens the opening, the turnover beam can rotate relative to the first box door to separate from the second box door. The guide member 1 is arranged on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 21 and located at the opening of the receiving cavity 21. During the process of opening and closing the opening by the first box door, the guide member 1 is used to connect with the end of the turnover beam and push the turnover beam to rotate. The guide member 1 is provided with a connecting portion 11 clamped between the outer shell 3 and the inner container 2. The two sides of the connecting portion 11 abut against the edge of the outer shell 3 and the edge of the inner container 2, respectively.

[0061] In this embodiment, the refrigerator comprises a main body, a pair of doors, a turnover beam and a guide 1. The main body comprises an inner container 2 and an outer shell 3. The inner container 2 is provided with a receiving cavity 21. The outer shell 3 is arranged on the inner container 2 and outside the receiving cavity 21. The edge of the outer shell 3 abuts against the edge of the inner container 2. The pair of doors comprises a first door and a second door. The first door and the second door are arranged in a direction parallel to the main body. The side of the first door and the second door away from each other is respectively rotationally connected with the main body to open or close the opening of the receiving cavity 21. The turnover beam is rotationally arranged on the first door. When the first door and the second door close the opening, the turnover beam can rotate to block the gap between the first door and the second door. When the first door opens the opening, the turnover beam can rotate relative to the first door to separate from the second door. The guide 1 is arranged on the opening of the receiving cavity 21 and connected with the inner wall of the receiving cavity 21. During the process of opening and closing the opening by the first door, the guide 1 is used to connect with the end of the turnover beam and push the turnover beam to rotate. The guide 1 is provided with a connecting part 11. The connecting part 11 is clamped between the edge of the outer shell 3 and the edge of the inner container 2.

[0062] It should be noted that the pair of doors and the main body can be arranged along the X-axis direction shown in the figure. The first door and the second door can be arranged along the Y-axis direction shown in the figure. The X-axis direction shown in the figure can be the thickness direction of the refrigerator. The Y-axis direction can be the width direction of the refrigerator. During use of the refrigerator, the X-axis direction can be parallel to the horizontal direction. The Y-axis direction can be parallel to the horizontal direction. The Z-axis direction can be the vertical direction.

[0063] It should be noted that the side of the first door and the second door away from each other is respectively rotationally connected with the main body. That is, the side of the first door away from the second door is rotationally connected with the main body. The side of the second door away from the first door is rotationally connected with the main body. The size of the opening of the receiving cavity is greater than the size of the first door and the second door. The first door and the second door can be used in cooperation to close the opening. When the first door and the second door are both closed, the turnover beam can abut against the side surface of the first door and the second door to block the gap between the first door and the second door, thereby reducing the leakage of cold air in the receiving cavity 21. In addition, the first door and the second door can be opened simultaneously or only one of them can be opened.

[0064] It should be noted that the guide 1 is provided with a guide channel 13. When the first door is opened or closed, the end of the turnover beam can slide in the guide channel 13. During the sliding process of the end of the turnover beam in the guide channel 13, the inner wall of the guide channel 13 can extrude the turnover beam, so that the guide 1 can push the turnover beam to rotate relative to the first door to a predetermined position, thereby changing the relative position between the turnover beam and the first door.

[0065] It should be noted that the edge of the shell 3 and the edge of the inner container 2 abut, that is, the edge of the shell 3 and the edge of the inner container 2 have interaction force between them, and they can abut each other; in addition, the accommodation cavity 21 can be used to store food, beverages and the like, after the edge of the shell 3 and the edge of the inner container 2 are connected, the shell 3 and the inner container 2 can form a cavity, and the cavity can be filled with sealing material to reduce the heat exchange between the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 21 and the external environment, thereby reducing the loss of cold air in the accommodation cavity 21.

[0066] It should be noted that the connecting part 11 is clamped between the edge of the shell 3 and the edge of the inner container 2, that is, the connecting part 11 is arranged between the edge of the shell 3 and the edge of the inner container 2, and the two sides of the connecting part 11 can be subjected to the force of the shell 3 and the inner container 2 respectively, and the shell 3 and the inner container 2 can clamp the connecting part 11 from both sides.

[0067] By providing the connecting part 11 on the guide piece 1 and clamping the connecting part 11 between the shell 3 and the inner container 2, the two sides of the connecting part 11 can be subjected to the force of the shell 3 and the inner container 2 respectively, and the guide piece 1 can be clamped by the shell 3 and the inner container 2, so that the connection stability of the guide piece 1 and the main body can be improved, and the positional deviation of the guide piece 1 relative to the main body can be reduced, so that the guide piece 1 can guide the turnover beam of the first door to rotate to a predetermined position, and further make the turnover beam seal the gap between the first door and the second door, and improve the sealing performance of the refrigerator; in addition, the connecting part 11 of the guide piece 1 is clamped between the shell 3 and the inner container 2, when the turnover beam on the first door collides with the guide piece 1, the shell 3 and the inner container 2 can clamp the guide piece 1, so as to reduce the vibration of the guide piece 1 after being collided, so as to further reduce the possibility of positional deviation of the guide piece 1 relative to the main body, so that the guide piece 1 can guide the turnover beam to rotate to a predetermined position to seal the gap between the first door and the second door, thereby further improving the sealing performance of the refrigerator.

[0068] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 to 6 , the connecting part 11 has a first side surface 111 and a second side surface 112 parallel to the first door, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the shell 3 has a third side surface 33 away from the first door and towards the inner container 2, referring to Figures 9 to 11The inner container 2 has a fourth side 27 facing the first door, and the first side 111 and the second side 112 are respectively attached to the third side 33 and the fourth side 27. It can be understood that, in the process of opening and closing the first door, the turnover beam of the first door will collide with the inner wall of the guide channel 13 of the guide 1, at this time, the main body will exert a support force on the guide 1, and in this process, the part of the guide 1 connected with the main body is a stress concentration area; by attaching the first side 111 and the second side 112 of the connecting part 11 to the third side 33 and the fourth side 27 respectively, that is, the connecting part 11 can be attached to the outer shell 3 and the inner container 2, so that the interaction force between the guide 1 and the main body can act on these attached surfaces, and the larger the area of these attached surfaces, the more dispersed the stress of the part of the guide 1 connected with the main body, the lower the possibility of loosening between the connecting part 11 and the outer shell 3 and the inner container 2, so that the guide 1 is less likely to be displaced, and the guide 1 can accurately guide the turnover beam to rotate to a predetermined position to block the gap between the first door and the second door.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first side 111, the second side 112, the third side 33 and the fourth side 27 can be parallel to the plane formed by the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction.

[0070] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the edge of the inner container 2 is provided with a first groove 22, and a part of the connecting part 11 is inserted into the first groove 22, and the side surface of the connecting part 11 is attached to the side wall of the first groove 22. By setting a part of the connecting part 11 to be inserted into the first groove 22, and the side surface of the connecting part 11 to be attached to the side wall of the first groove 22, the area of the attached surface between the connecting part 11 and the inner container 2 can be further increased, thereby reducing the possibility of loosening between the connecting part 11 and the inner container 2.

[0071] In some embodiments, the connecting part of the outer shell 3 and the inner container 2 faces the side-by-side door assembly of the refrigerator, that is, a part of the inner container 2 can be used to abut against the first door and the second door of the side-by-side door assembly to seal the accommodation cavity 21.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the external environment is relatively humid, water vapor in the air is easy to adhere to the opening of the accommodation cavity 21 to form condensed water, which is not conducive to keeping the accommodation cavity 21 dry and clean, and the first groove 22 can be used to install a defrosting pipe of the refrigerator. The defrosting pipe can be connected to the condenser of the refrigerator, and the refrigerant after absorbing heat can flow through the defrosting pipe during refrigeration of the refrigerator to increase the temperature of the inner wall of the opening area of the accommodation cavity 21, thereby reducing the generation of condensed water in the opening area of the accommodation cavity 21, and playing a role in preventing dew.

[0073] Referring to Figure 4 andFigure 8 In some embodiments, the edge of the shell 3 is provided with a second groove 32, the edge of the inner container 2 and the connecting part 11 are arranged in the second groove 32, the second groove 32 has a third side 33 and a fifth side 34 parallel to the third side 33, and the first side 111 of the guide part 1 and the inner container 2 are respectively in abutment with the third side 33 and the fifth side 34.

[0074] It should be noted that the second groove 32 has the third side 33 and the fifth side 34 parallel to the third side 33, that is, the third side 33 and the fifth side 34 are two parallel sides of the second groove 32, and the first side 111 of the guide part 1 and the inner container 2 are respectively in abutment with the third side 33 and the fifth side 34, that is, the two sides of the second groove 32 can clamp the connecting part 11 of the guide part 1 and the edge of the inner container 2.

[0075] By arranging the second groove 32 on the edge of the shell 3, and arranging the edge of the inner container 2 and the connecting part 11 in the second groove 32, the clamping force of the third side 33 and the fifth side 34 of the second groove 32 on the connecting part 11 and the inner container 2 can fix the connecting part 11 between the inner container 2 and the shell 3, so that the shell 3 and the inner container 2 can be connected without additional connecting parts, which can reduce the number of parts of the refrigerator and help to reduce the assembly difficulty of the refrigerator; in addition, the force exerted by the fifth side 34 of the second groove 32 of the shell 3 on the inner container 2 can be transmitted to the connecting part 11 of the guide part 1 through the inner container 2, so that the connecting part 11 can be clamped between the edge of the shell 3 and the edge of the inner container 2.

[0076] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the edge of the shell 3 is provided with a bending part 31, and the concave part of the bending part 31 forms the second groove 32. By arranging the bending part 31 on the edge of the shell 3, and the concave part of the bending part 31 forming the second groove 32, the side wall at the opening of the second groove 32 can be a smooth curved surface, that is, the part of the edge of the shell 3 in abutment with the connecting part 11 of the guide part 1 can be a smooth curved surface, which can reduce the wear of the connecting part 11 of the guide part 1 by the shell 3, reduce the risk of the connecting part 11 being thinned by wear and separated from the shell 3 and the inner container 2, so that the connecting part 11 can be clamped between the edge of the shell 3 and the edge of the inner container 2, thereby reducing the positional deviation of the guide part 1 during the opening and closing of the first box door, and further improving the sealing performance of the refrigerator.

[0077] In some embodiments, the edge of the sheet metal blank of the shell 3 can be bent to form the bending part 31.

[0078] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 11In some embodiments, the pair of doors further comprises a sealing strip, the first door and the second door are provided with the sealing strip on the side facing the main body, the inner container 2 has a sealing side 28 facing the pair of doors, the sealing side 28 is used to abut against the sealing strip to seal the accommodation cavity 21, the inner container 2 has a third groove 23 recessed from the sealing side 28, at least a part of the guide 1 is arranged in the third groove 23, so that the side of the guide 1 away from the groove bottom of the third groove 23 is aligned with the position of the sealing side 28.

[0079] It can be understood that when the first door and the second door are closed, the smoother the side of the main body abutting against the sealing strips of the first door and the second door, the smaller the gap between the main body and the first door and the second door, and the less likely the cold air in the accommodation cavity 21 to leak out from between the main body, the first door and the second door, and the better the sealing performance of the refrigerator; by arranging the third groove 23 on the inner container 2 and recessing the third groove 23 from the sealing side 28, a part of the guide 1 can be arranged in the third groove 23, so that the height of the guide 1 can be reduced; by arranging the side of the guide 1 away from the groove bottom of the third groove 23 to be aligned with the position of the sealing side 28, the side of the guide 1 away from the groove bottom of the third groove 23 can be in the same plane with the sealing side 28, so that when the first door and the second door are closed, the sealing strips of the first door and the second door can simultaneously abut against the sealing side 28 and the side of the guide 1 away from the groove bottom of the third groove 23, so that the sealing strips can well seal the gap between the first door, the second door and the main body, which helps to improve the sealing performance of the refrigerator.

[0080] In some embodiments, the inner container 2 can further be provided with a fourth groove 24, the fourth groove 24 can be recessed from the wall of the accommodation cavity 21, the fourth groove 24 can be in communication with the third groove 23, and a part of the guide 1 can be installed in the fourth groove 24, so that the height of the guide 1 protruding from the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 21 can be reduced, and the appearance of the main body can be improved.

[0081] In some embodiments, the guide 1 can be spaced apart from the groove bottom of the third groove 23.

[0082] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10In some embodiments, the guide 1 is provided with a buckle 12, and the inner container 2 is provided with a clamping groove 26, and the buckle 12 is arranged in the clamping groove 26. In other embodiments, the buckle 12 can also be arranged on the inner container 2, and the clamping groove 26 can be arranged on the guide 1 correspondingly. By arranging the buckle 12 and the clamping groove 26, the guide 1 can be fixed to the inner container 2 in a buckled manner. In this way, the guide 1 and the main body have two fixing modes, i.e., clamping and buckling, which can improve the connection stability between the guide 1 and the main body, and help to reduce the relative movement between the guide 1 and the main body during the opening and closing of the first cabinet door, thereby reducing the positional deviation of the guide 1 relative to the main body, so that the turnover beam can be rotated to a preset position, thereby helping to improve the air tightness of the refrigerator.

[0083] In some embodiments, the inner container 2 can also be provided with a fourth groove 24, and the clamping groove 26 can be arranged on the side wall of the fourth groove 24 of the inner container 2.

[0084] In some embodiments, the buckle 12 can be arranged on the side of the guide 1 away from the connecting part 11.

[0085] It should be noted that when the buckle 12 is arranged on the guide 1, the buckle 12 is arranged on the side of the guide 1 away from the connecting part 11, i.e., the buckle 12 and the connecting part 11 are arranged on the two sides of the guide 1, respectively. When the buckle 12 is arranged on the inner container 2, since the buckle 12 is located on the side of the guide 1 away from the connecting part 11, the side of the guide 1 away from the connecting part 11 needs to be correspondingly provided with the clamping groove 26, so that the clamping groove 26 and the connecting part 11 are arranged on the two sides of the guide 1, respectively. Therefore, whether the buckle 12 is arranged on the guide 1 or the inner container 2, the buckling structure formed by the buckle 12 and the clamping groove 26 and the connecting part 11 can be arranged on the two sides of the guide 1, respectively.

[0086] By arranging the buckle 12 on the side of the guide 1 away from the connecting part 11, the buckling structure formed by the buckle 12 and the clamping groove 26 and the connecting part 11 can be arranged on the two sides of the guide 1, respectively. In this way, the main body can apply a fixing force to the guide 1 from the two sides of the guide 1, which helps to balance the stress of the guide 1, thereby reducing the possibility of positional deviation of the guide 1.

[0087] In some embodiments, the inner container 2 has a sealing side 28 for abutting against the sealing strips of the first cabinet door and the second cabinet door, and the inner container 2 has a third groove 23 recessed from the sealing side 28. In addition, the inner container 2 can also be provided with a fourth groove 24 in communication with the third groove 23, and the clamping groove 26 can be arranged on the side wall of the fourth groove 24 away from the third groove 23. In this way, after the guide 1 and the main body are installed, the guide 1 itself can block the clamping groove 26, so that the user cannot see the clamping groove on the inner container 2 when standing in front of the refrigerator. In this way, the appearance of the refrigerator can be improved.

[0088] In some embodiments, the guide 1 can be mounted on the top wall of the accommodating cavity 21, the buckle 12 is arranged on the guide 1, the buckle 12 has a first clamping surface 121 arranged downward, the clamping groove 26 is arranged on the inner container 2, the clamping groove 26 has a second clamping surface 261 arranged upward, the second clamping surface 261 is below the first clamping surface 121 and abuts against the first clamping surface 121. By arranging the downward first clamping surface 121 on the buckle 12 and the upward second clamping surface 261 on the clamping groove 26, the clamping groove 26 can support the guide 1 in the vertical direction, so that the guide 1 can be fixed to the top wall of the accommodating cavity 21.

[0089] In other embodiments, the guide 1 is provided with a first magnet, the inner container 2 is provided with a second magnet, and the first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically attracted. By arranging the first magnet on the guide 1 and the second magnet on the inner container 2, the guide 1 and the inner container 2 can be fixed by magnetic attraction. In this way, the guide 1 and the main body have two fixing modes of clamping and attraction, which can improve the connection stability between the guide 1 and the main body, help to reduce the relative movement between the guide 1 and the main body during the opening and closing of the first door, thereby reducing the positional deviation of the guide 1 relative to the main body, so that the turnover beam can be turned to a preset position, thereby helping to improve the air tightness of the refrigerator.

At this time, the positioning groove 241 on the guide 1 can correspond to the positioning protrusion 14 on the inner container 2, and the positioning groove 241 on the inner container 2 can correspond to the positioning protrusion 14 on the guide 1.

[0092] In some embodiments, the guide 1 is further provided with a reinforcing rib 15, which can be arranged on the side of the guide 1 facing the inner container 2. When the guide 1 is connected to the inner container 2, the guide 1 itself can shield the reinforcing rib 15. By arranging the reinforcing rib 15 on the guide 1, the strength of the guide 1 can be increased, so that the deformation of the guide 1 can be reduced, and the guide channel 13 of the guide 1 can guide the rotating beam of the first box door to rotate to a preset position.

[0093] In some embodiments, the positioning protrusion 14 can be connected to the reinforcing rib 15, so that the reinforcing rib 15 can also improve the strength of the positioning protrusion 14 and reduce the risk of breakage of the positioning protrusion 14.
