[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0031] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This application provides a box body 1, which has an opening 10 on its front side. The box body 1 includes a top plate 13, a rear plate 12 opposite to the opening 10, and two side plates 11 located on opposite sides of the opening 10. The rear plate 12 and the two side plates 11 are all connected to the top plate 13, and the rear plate 12 is also connected to the two side plates 11. The inner sides of the two side plates 11 are provided with sliding portions 111 that gradually slope upward from front to back.

[0033] By providing a sliding part 111 that gradually slopes upward from front to back on the inner side of the cabinet side panel 11, the refrigerator refrigeration unit 2 can be gradually slid upward from front to back to the bottom of the cabinet 1, providing different assembly schemes for the refrigeration unit 2.

[0034] The aforementioned box 1 can be integrally formed, or it can be formed by splicing together materials such as the box top plate 13, the box rear plate 12, and the box side plate 11.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The length of the rear panel 12 extending downward from the top panel 13 is less than the length of the side panel 11 extending downward from the top panel 13. The side panel 11, extending beyond the rear panel 12 along its length, has a sliding portion 111. This facilitates the refrigeration unit 2 sliding along the sliding portion 111 to abut against the lower wall surface 121 of the rear panel 12.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the side of the refrigerator's refrigeration unit 2 is provided with a sliding engagement part 21 that mates with the sliding part 111. In one embodiment, the sliding part 111 includes a slide rail, the width of which gradually increases from front to back. Correspondingly, the sliding engagement part 21 includes a groove, the width of which also gradually increases from front to back, matching the width of the slide rail. During the process of the refrigeration unit 2 sliding relative to the cabinet 1 from front to back, the front part of the slide rail provided on the cabinet side plate 11 should first engage with the rear part of the groove provided on the refrigeration unit 2, and then the refrigeration unit 2 should gradually slide backward, ultimately engaging the front part of the groove provided on the refrigeration unit 2 with the front part of the slide rail provided on the cabinet side plate 11. Based on this, by setting both the width of the slide rail and the groove width to gradually increase from front to back, when the front part of the slide rail on the side plate 11 of the housing first mates with the rear part of the groove of the refrigeration unit 2, the end with the smaller width of the slide rail is inserted into the end with the larger groove width of the groove first. This can reduce the insertion accuracy of the front part of the slide rail and improve the installation efficiency of the slide rail and the groove.

[0037] In one embodiment, the sliding part 111 includes a groove, the width of which gradually decreases from front to back. Correspondingly, the sliding mating part 21 includes a slide rail, the width of which also gradually decreases from front to back, matching the width of the groove. During the sliding of the refrigeration unit 2 relative to the housing 1 from front to back, the front part of the groove on the housing side plate 11 should first engage with the rear part of the slide rail of the refrigeration unit 2 before the refrigeration unit 2 gradually slides backward, ultimately engaging with the rear part of the groove on the housing side plate 11 and the rear part of the slide rail of the refrigeration unit 2. Based on this, by setting both the width of the slide rail and the groove width to gradually decrease from front to back, when the front part of the groove on the housing side plate 11 engages with the rear part of the slide rail of the refrigeration unit 2, the narrower end of the slide rail inserts into the wider end of the groove first, reducing the insertion accuracy of the front part of the slide rail and improving the installation efficiency of the slide rail and groove.

[0038] In one embodiment, the connection between the rear panel 12, the top panel 13, and the side panels 11 of the housing is detachable. Therefore, the housing 1 can be customized according to actual usage needs, saving transportation space and facilitating flexible assembly.

[0039] In one embodiment, among the rear panel 12, the top panel 13, and the two side panels 11, one of the panels connected in pairs is the first panel A, and the other of the panels connected in pairs is the second panel B.

[0040] For example, when the rear panel 12 and the top panel 13 of the enclosure are connected, if the rear panel 12 is the first panel A, then the top panel 13 is the second panel B; conversely, if the top panel 13 is the first panel A, then the rear panel 12 is the second panel B. As another example... Figure 3 As shown, when two box side panels 11 are connected, if one box side panel 11 is the first box panel A, then the other box side panel 11 is the second box panel B.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 Both the first panel A and the second panel B include an outer shell 14, an inner lining 15, and a heat insulation plate 16 located between the outer shell 14 and the inner lining 15. At least a partial orthographic projection of the heat insulation plate 16 of the first panel A onto the direction facing the second panel B lies within the heat insulation plate 16 of the second panel B. In other words, the orthographic projection of the heat insulation plate 16 of the first panel A onto the heat insulation plate 16 of the second panel B can form a projection area s. Therefore, during the connection process between the first panel A and the second panel B, the heat insulation plate 16 of the first panel A and the heat insulation plate 16 of the second panel B can overlap to prevent cold leakage from the connection point between the first panel A and the second panel B.

[0042] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In one embodiment, both the inner lining 15 of the first panel A and the inner lining 15 of the second panel B include an inwardly protruding boss 112. The boss 112 has a mounting groove 1122 for mounting the heat insulation plate 16 on the side facing the outer casing 14. By mounting the heat insulation plate 16 within the mounting groove 1122 of the boss 112, the overlap area of ​​two adjacent heat insulation plates 16 can be further increased, thereby further reducing the risk of cold leakage.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the inner lining 15 of the first panel A further includes an insertion portion disposed on the protrusion portion 112, and the inner lining 15 of the second panel B further includes an insertion mating portion disposed on the protrusion portion 112; the insertion portion and the insertion mating portion are inserted into each other. Thus, the inner lining 15 of the panel can be pre-fixed through an insertion connection, avoiding displacement during subsequent fixing and improving subsequent fixing efficiency.

[0044] Please continue reading. Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the boss portion 112 includes a boss sidewall 1123 formed along the thickness direction. The insertion portion of the first panel A includes a plurality of wedge-shaped plugs 151 spaced apart from the boss sidewall 1123. The insertion mating portion of the second panel B includes a plurality of wedge-shaped grooves 152 spaced apart from the boss sidewall 1123. The connection stability of the panel liner 15 can be improved by the insertion and mating of the plurality of wedge-shaped plugs 151 and the plurality of wedge-shaped grooves 152. Of course, in other embodiments, the specific structure of the insertion portion and the insertion mating portion is not limited to this.

[0045] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the insertion portion of the first panel A further includes a wedge-shaped groove 153 disposed between two adjacent wedge-shaped plugs 151, and the insertion mating portion of the second panel B further includes a wedge-shaped boss 154 disposed between two adjacent wedge-shaped grooves 152; the wedge-shaped groove 153 and the wedge-shaped boss 154 are inserted into each other. Thus, by utilizing the insertion mating of the wedge-shaped groove 153 and the wedge-shaped boss 154, a double insertion mating structure can be formed, improving the connection reliability of the inner lining 15 of the first panel A and the inner lining 15 of the second panel B.

[0046] Please continue reading. Figure 4 and Figure 5In one embodiment, the inner lining 15 of the first panel A further includes a first fastening hole 156 disposed on the side wall 1123 of the boss, and the inner lining 15 of the second panel B further includes a second fastening hole 155 disposed on the side wall 1123 of the boss; the first fastening hole 156 and the second fastening hole 155 are used for fasteners to pass through to achieve locking. This improves the robustness of the connection of the inner lining 15 and prevents deformation of the inner lining 15.

[0047] For example, the first fastening hole 156 may be provided on the wedge-shaped plug 151 provided on the inner lining 15 of the first panel A, and / or, the first fastening hole 156 may be provided on the wedge-shaped groove 153 provided on the inner lining 15 of the first panel A. The second fastening hole 155 may be provided on the wedge-shaped groove 152 provided on the inner lining 15 of the second panel B, and / or, the second fastening hole 155 may be provided on the wedge-shaped boss 154 provided on the inner lining 15 of the second panel B.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the bottom of the housing 1 does not have a bottom plate. Therefore, during the sliding of the refrigeration component relative to the housing 1, interference from the bottom plate can be avoided. After the refrigeration component has slid into place, the bottom of the refrigeration unit 2 can be considered as the bottom plate of the housing 1.

[0049] Of course, in other embodiments, a bottom plate can also be provided at the bottom of the cabinet 1. However, in order to avoid interference during the sliding of the refrigeration unit 2, the shortest distance between the bottom plate and the sliding part 111 should be greater than the height of the refrigeration unit 2. After the refrigeration unit 2 slides into place, a certain space is formed between the bottom of the refrigeration unit 2 and the bottom plate of the cabinet to facilitate the arrangement of other components of the refrigerator.

[0050] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the outer shell 14 of the two enclosure side panels 11 has a flange 141 formed on the side facing the opening 10. The flanges 141 formed by the two enclosure side panels 11 extend outward in a direction away from each other, and the flanges 141 are used to engage with the door seal 312. Thus, the structural strength of the enclosure side panels 11 can be improved while providing space for the door seal 312 to engage.

[0051] Please see Figure 6 This application also provides a refrigerator, including the cabinet 1 described above. By providing a sliding part 111 that gradually slopes upward from front to back on the inner side of the cabinet side panel 11, this application allows the refrigerator's refrigeration unit 2 to gradually slide upward from front to back to the bottom of the cabinet 1, providing different assembly options for the refrigeration unit 2.

[0052] It should be noted that the technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
