[0046] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a drawer assembly and a refrigeration device. A limiting structure is provided on the front cover 20, and the glass plate 40 is fixedly installed on the front cover 20 through the cooperation of the limiting structure and the trim assembly 30. This design not only makes installation more convenient but also avoids the risk of glue overflow and odor generation, thus improving the user experience.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a drawer assembly including: a drawer body 10, a front cover 20, a glass panel 40, and a trim assembly 30. The front cover 20 is mounted on the drawer body 10, and a mounting wall 21 is provided on the side of the front cover 20 opposite to the drawer body 10, and the mounting wall 21 is provided with a plurality of limiting parts; the glass panel 40 can be fitted to the mounting wall 21; the trim assembly 30 is mounted on the front cover 20, and the trim assembly 30 includes a fixed side that is fitted to the side wall of the glass panel 40 opposite to the front cover 20; wherein, the plurality of limiting parts respectively abut against the periphery of the glass panel 40 to prevent the glass panel 40 from being displaced in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0048] Specifically, the front cover 20 is fixedly installed to the drawer body 10 using snap-fit ​​fasteners or bolts, and the side wall of the front cover 20 facing away from the drawer body 10 is configured as a mounting wall 21. The size of the mounting wall 21 is larger than the size of the glass panel 40, and multiple limiting parts are located on the periphery of the glass panel 40. Thus, after the user installs the glass panel 40 on the mounting wall 21, the limiting parts can abut against the periphery of the glass panel 40 to limit the glass panel 40 in the vertical plane, thereby preventing the glass panel 40 from moving up, down, left, or right. After limiting the glass panel 40 in the vertical and horizontal directions, the trim assembly 30 is fixedly installed to the front cover 20, and the fixing side of the trim assembly 30 is attached to the side wall of the glass panel 40 facing away from the front cover 20, so as to cooperate with the mounting wall 21 to limit the glass panel 40 in the front-back direction, thereby preventing the glass panel 40 from moving forward or backward.

[0049] In the above embodiments, the forward movement of the glass plate 40 means that the glass plate 40 moves away from the mounting wall 21, and the backward movement of the glass plate 40 means that the glass plate 40 moves towards the mounting wall 21.

[0050] In practical applications, the number and position of the limiting parts can be set according to the user's actual needs. For example, in order to ensure the aesthetics of the drawer assembly, the limiting parts can be set at the corners of the glass panel 40, so as to reduce the overall size of the limiting parts while ensuring the limiting effect, thereby ensuring the borderless effect of the glass panel 40.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, multiple corners of the glass plate 40 are provided with beveled notches 41, and at least two beveled notches 41 are disposed opposite each other at two opposite corners of the glass plate 40; the front cover 20 is provided with a limiting protrusion 22 at the position corresponding to the beveled notch 41 to form a limiting part; wherein, the limiting protrusion 22 can abut against the edge of the beveled notch 41.

[0052] Specifically, the front cover 20 is provided with multiple limiting protrusions 22 corresponding to multiple corners of the glass plate 40, and the corresponding corners of the glass plate 40 are provided with beveled notches 41. In this way, the beveled notches 41 can make way for the limiting protrusions 22, and at the same time, the corners of the glass plate 40 can be configured as bevels. With this configuration, after the glass plate 40 is installed on the mounting wall 21, the multiple limiting protrusions 22 respectively abut against the bevels of the multiple corners of the glass plate 40, thereby achieving the limitation of the glass plate 40 in the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0053] In practical applications, the front cover 20 is provided with at least two limiting protrusions 22, and the two limiting protrusions 22 are respectively provided at two opposite corners of the glass plate 40. At the same time, the glass plate 40 is provided with beveled notches 41 at two opposite corners corresponding to the limiting protrusions 22.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the four corners of the glass plate 40 are provided with beveled notches 41, and the front cover 20 is provided with four limiting protrusions 22 corresponding to the four beveled notches 41.

[0055] Specifically, the front cover 20 is provided with four limiting protrusions 22, and the four limiting protrusions 22 are respectively provided at the four corners of the glass plate 40. At the same time, each of the four corners of the glass plate 40 is provided with four beveled notches 41 to make way for the four limiting protrusions 22. In this way, after the glass plate 40 is installed on the mounting wall 21, the four limiting protrusions 22 can respectively abut against the beveled edges of the four corners of the glass plate 40 to further ensure the limiting effect of the glass plate 40 in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 22 is provided with a limiting oblique edge 23 corresponding to the oblique edge of the oblique notch 41, and the limiting oblique edge 23 corresponds to the inclination angle of the oblique edge of the oblique notch 41; wherein, the limiting oblique edge 23 can abut against the oblique edge of the oblique notch 41 to limit the glass plate 40.

[0057] Specifically, the limiting bevel 23 of the limiting protrusion 22 corresponds to the size of the bevel of the angled notch 41. In this way, after the glass plate 40 is installed on the mounting wall 21, the limiting bevel 23 of the limiting protrusion 22 can abut against the bevel of the angled notch 41 to further improve the limiting effect of the limiting protrusion 22 on the glass plate 40.

[0058] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the inclination angle of the bevel of the limiting notch is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 60°.

[0059] Specifically, the inclination angle of the beveled side of the limiting notch can be set according to the user's actual needs. For example, the inclination angle of the beveled side of the limiting notch can be 30°, 40°, 50° or 60°. In this way, the limiting effect of the limiting protrusion 22 on the glass plate 40 can be further improved.

[0060] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the trim assembly 30 includes an upper trim 31. The upper trim 31 is mounted on the upper edge of the front cover 20, and the upper trim 31 includes an upper fixed side 311 that is attached to the side wall of the glass plate 40 away from the front cover 20.

An upper fixing side 311 is connected to the connecting edge of the upper mounting side, and the upper fixing side 311 is bent downwards. Thus, after the upper trim strip 31 is mounted on the front cover 20, the upper fixing side 311 can abut against the upper part of the side wall of the glass plate 40 away from the front cover 20, thereby limiting the upper half of the glass plate 40.

[0062] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the upper trim strip 31 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion corresponding to the front cover 20, and the front cover 20 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​mating portion corresponding to the first snap-fit ​​portion; wherein, the first snap-fit ​​mating portion can snap onto the first snap-fit ​​portion to snap the upper trim strip 31 onto the front cover 20.

[0063] Specifically, the first snap-fit ​​portion is located on the upper mounting side of the upper trim strip 31, and the first snap-fit ​​mating portion is located on the upper edge of the front cover 20, with the position of the first snap-fit ​​mating portion corresponding to the position of the first snap-fit ​​portion. The upper mounting side can be snapped onto the upper edge of the front cover 20 via the first snap-fit ​​portion and the first snap-fit ​​mating portion to install the upper trim strip 31 onto the front cover 20.

[0064] like Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the trim assembly 30 further includes a lower trim 32. The lower trim 32 is mounted on the lower edge of the front cover 20, and the lower trim 32 includes a lower fixing side 321 that is attached to the side wall of the glass plate 40 away from the front cover 20.

[0065] Specifically, the lower trim strip 32 includes a lower mounting side, which is mounted on the lower edge of the front cover 20, and the connecting edge of the lower mounting side extends from the front cover 20 to the other side of the glass plate 40. A lower fixing side 321 is connected to the connecting edge of the lower mounting side, and the lower fixing side 321 is bent upwards. Thus, after the lower trim strip 32 is mounted on the front cover 20, the lower fixing side 321 can abut against the lower part of the side wall of the glass plate 40 away from the front cover 20, thereby limiting the lower half of the glass plate 40.

[0066] like Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower trim strip 32 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion corresponding to the front cover 20, and the front cover 20 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​mating portion corresponding to the second snap-fit ​​portion; wherein, the second snap-fit ​​mating portion can snap onto the second snap-fit ​​portion to snap the lower trim strip 32 onto the front cover 20.

[0067] Specifically, the second snap-fit ​​portion is located on the lower mounting side of the lower trim strip 32, and the second snap-fit ​​mating portion is located on the lower edge of the front cover 20, with the positions of the second snap-fit ​​mating portion and the second snap-fit ​​portion corresponding to the positions of the second snap-fit ​​portion. The lower mounting side can be snapped onto the lower edge of the front cover 20 via the second snap-fit ​​portion and the second snap-fit ​​mating portion to install the lower trim strip 32 onto the front cover 20.
