Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a refrigerator door and a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of modern home living standards, the aesthetics of refrigerators, as an indispensable household appliance, are receiving increasing attention from users. Fully integrated refrigerators, by eliminating the traditional outer shell and integrating the heat dissipation system into the bottom, allow them to be embedded inside cabinets. Furthermore, by installing decorative door panels on the refrigerator doors, the refrigerator doors coordinate harmoniously with the cabinet doors, meeting users' aesthetic demands and gradually becoming the mainstream in the market.

[0003] Currently, most fully integrated refrigerator door panels on the market are directly mounted onto the refrigerator door. The installation position of the door panel is pre-set, making it impossible to adjust it according to actual needs during installation. When the door panel is installed, due to the complex working conditions, issues such as panel deformation, uneven installation, or tilting after installation cannot be addressed by the fixed installation structure. This results in unevenness between the door panel and the cabinet door when the refrigerator is placed inside, negatively impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content
