[0022] To further illustrate the technical means and effects taken by the present application to achieve the predetermined purposes, the specific embodiments, structures, features and effects thereof according to the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "an embodiment" or "embodiments" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, the specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.
[0023] As Figure 1 shown, the refrigerator cabinet includes a cabinet body 1 with a refrigeration device and a glass panel door body 2 (referred to as "door body" for short) rotatably installed at the opening side of the cabinet body 1. When the door body 2 is opened, it is convenient for the user to take or store articles in the cabinet body 1 through the opening side. When the door body 2 is closed, the cabinet body 1 is closed by the door body 2, so that the articles in the cabinet body 1 can be refrigerated.
[0024] As Figures 2-7 shown, the glass panel door body 2 specifically includes a door frame 21, a door liner 22 and a glass panel 23. The outer side edge and the inner side edge of the door frame 21 are respectively provided with an outer assembly step 211 and an inner assembly step 212. The peripheral side edge of the glass panel 23 is fixedly connected with the outer assembly step 211 so as to fix the glass panel 23 on the outer side surface of the door frame 21. The peripheral side edge of the door liner 22 is fixedly connected with the inner assembly step 212 so as to fix the door liner 22 on the inner side surface of the door frame 21. In this way, the door frame 21, the door liner 22 and the glass panel 23 are assembled as a whole to form the glass panel door body 2.
[0025] The door body 2 further includes a handle 24. Since the outer side surface of the door body 2 is made of the glass panel 23, the prior art sets the handle 24 on the door frame 21 to meet the operation of opening or closing the door body 2 by the handle 24 without damaging the glass panel 23. However, the present application sets the handle 24 on the outer side surface of the glass panel 23. Therefore, the technical innovation point of the present application focuses on how to fix the handle 24 on the outer side surface of the glass panel 23 without damaging the glass panel 23 during use.
[0026] Specifically, the door liner 22 is provided with a fixing column 221, and the glass panel 23 is correspondingly provided with an assembly through hole 231. A buffer strut 25 is arranged between the fixing column 221 and the assembly through hole 231. One end of the buffer strut 25 abuts against the fixing column 221, and the other end of the buffer strut 25 is inserted into the assembly through hole 231. A fixing member 26 is fixedly connected with a fixed end 241 of the handle 24 in sequence through the fixing column 221 and the buffer strut 25. In this way, the handle 24 is fixed on the outer side surface of the glass panel 23 through the fixing member 26 passing through the assembly through hole 231 of the glass panel 23.
[0027] When the door body 2 is opened or closed by the handle 24, the force applied to the handle 24 is applied to the door liner 22 through the fixing member 26, and the fixed end 241 of the handle 24 and the fixing member 26 are prevented from directly contacting the glass panel 23 through the buffer support 25, so that the handle 24 does not apply force to the glass panel 23, and the handle 24, although fixed outside the glass panel 23, does not apply force to the glass panel 23, so that the glass panel 23 can not be damaged by the local force applied to the handle 24.
[0028] The buffer support 25 is arranged between the glass panel 23 and the fixed column 221 of the door liner 22, and plays a role in protecting the glass panel 23. As shown in particular in Figure 4 and Figure 7 The buffer support 25 specifically includes a support body 251, a limiting skirt 252 at one end of the support body 251, and an isolation column 253 opposite the support body 251 on the other side of the limiting skirt 252, and the buffer support 25 has a through hole 250 extending through the support body 251, the limiting skirt 252 and the isolation column 253.
[0029] The limiting skirt 252 has a size greater than the assembly through hole 231 of the glass panel 23, and the isolation column 253 has a size smaller than the assembly through hole 231. During assembly, the support body 251 abuts against the fixed column 221 of the door liner 22, the limiting skirt 252 abuts against the inner side of the glass panel 23 facing the door liner 22, and the isolation column 253 is inserted into the assembly through hole 231 of the glass panel 23, and the fixed end 241 of the handle 24 is inserted into the through hole 250, and the fixed end 241 of the handle 24 is isolated from the assembly through hole 231 of the glass panel 23 by the isolation column 253, so as to protect the glass panel 23 from the force applied by the fixed end 241 of the handle 24 to the assembly through hole 231 of the glass panel 23.
[0030] An inner step position 2531 is provided at the end of the through hole 250, and the fixed end 241 of the handle 24 abuts against the inner step position 2531, so as to limit the assembly between the buffer support 25 and the fixed end 241 of the handle 24.
[0031] The buffer support 25 is an integral structure made of silicone, plastic or rubber, and provides buffering by elastic deformation when subjected to force, so as to prevent the glass panel 23 from directly contacting the handle 24, the fixed column 221 and the fixing member 26, and to avoid the glass panel 23 from being broken by local force.
[0032] For example, the fixing member 26 is usually a screw. Correspondingly, the fixing end 241 of the handle 24 is provided with a screw hole 242, the screw is inserted into the middle hole of the fixing column 221 from the outer side of the glass panel 22, the screw is screwed into the screw hole 242 of the fixing member 26 after passing through the through hole 250 of the buffer column 25, so that the fixing end 241 of the handle 24 and the fixing column 221 of the door liner 22 are fixedly connected by the screw.
[0033] In order to fix the handle 24 firmly, at least two fixing ends 241 are usually arranged on the handle 24 at intervals. Therefore, at least two assembly through holes 231 corresponding to each fixing end 241 are arranged on the glass panel 23, and at least two fixing columns 221 corresponding to each fixing end 241 are arranged on the door liner 22, and one buffer column 25 is arranged between each assembly through hole 231 and each fixing column 221.
[0034] Furthermore, the door liner 22 is provided with a hole cover 27 on the outer side, the hole cover 27 is buckled on the outer side of the door liner 22 to cover the middle hole of the fixing column 221, so that the overall appearance of the door body 2 is complete and beautiful.
[0035] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
