[0036] Refrigerators have become an indispensable appliance in daily household life, primarily functioning to preserve and store food. The storage space inside the refrigerator door is widely used due to its easy accessibility. However, with changing lifestyles and dietary habits, people's needs for refrigerator storage space are constantly evolving. For example, modern families' pursuit of healthy eating leads more and more households to purchase and store a wider variety of fresh ingredients, which undoubtedly places higher demands on the flexibility of the refrigerator door's storage space.

[0037] Currently, the storage compartments inside refrigerator doors are typically fixed, meaning the number, size, and location of the compartments are determined at the factory, and users cannot adjust them to their specific needs. While this design meets basic storage requirements to some extent, it neglects the individualized needs of different users. For example, some users may require more small compartments to organize and store condiment bottles, while others may need more space to store large beverage bottles or other items.

[0038] In view of this, this utility model embodiment provides a refrigerator door and a refrigerator. A support groove is provided on the support member, extending along the width direction of the door. The storage component and the support groove are slidably connected, meaning the storage component can slide along the support groove. This allows the position of the storage component in the width direction of the door to be adjusted according to user needs, meeting the usage requirements of different users. This makes the arrangement of storage space on the door more flexible, achieving personalized storage and maximizing the user experience and utilization rate of storage space. Furthermore, compared to adjusting the storage box using a perforated plate, this method eliminates the complex operation of aligning the mounting holes on the perforated plate; simply sliding the storage component simplifies the adjustment method, making it simpler and more convenient. Moreover, it allows adjustment to any position in the width direction of the door, no longer limited to the position of the mounting holes, making the adjustment of the storage component more flexible.
