[0028] This design improves the overall insulation performance of the refrigerator by setting up an open, top-and-bottom insulation cavity 3 and using an end cap assembly to cover the openings. The end cap assembly includes a separately manufactured decorative strip 41 and a connecting seat 42. This modular design allows for the installation of decorative strips 41 in different colors or patterns to meet users' personalized needs. The door body 1 is equipped with a locking structure 2 for fixing it to the refrigerator. At the same time, at least one end of the connecting seat 42 is equipped with a connecting structure 421 for rotating and connecting to the refrigerator, thus ensuring the stability of the door when opening and closing and reducing wear or loosening caused by frequent use. The horizontal insert 51 and the vertical insert 52, in conjunction with the first slot 411 on the decorative strip 41 and the second slot 423 on the connecting seat 42, not only simplify the assembly process but also make full use of the space within the insulation cavity 3, making the structure compact and not bulky, thus improving the overall aesthetics.

[0029] Specifically, the connecting structure 421 can be a circular blind hole for inserting the refrigerator door hinge, or it can be a hinge shaft that rotates with the refrigerator. The horizontal insert 51 is press-fitted with the first slot 411, and the vertical insert 52 is press-fitted with the second slot 423. Alternatively, foam material can be used to make the decorative strip 41 more securely attached to the door body 1.

[0030] Furthermore, the second slot 423 is L-shaped, and the end of the transverse insert 51 is inserted into the second slot 423. The transverse insert 51 and the second slot 423 are interference-fitted. Of course, foam material can also be used to make the connecting seat 42 more securely connected to the door body 1 and the decorative strip 41.

[0031] In one embodiment, the decorative strip 41 or the main body 1 of the door is provided with a first clearance opening 412. The locking structure 2 includes a locking seat 21, on which a pin 22 that can pass through the first clearance opening 412 is movably connected. A handle 23 that can drive the pin 22 into the locking seat 21 when rotated is also rotatably connected.
