However, the universality of the end cover in the existing refrigerator is poor, and one end cover is usually only suitable for one type of handle, and different types of end covers and handles cannot be assembled, so that the cost of the refrigerator is high.
[0047] Based on this, the present application provides an end cover structure for a door body of a refrigerator, aiming to solve the problem of poor universality of the end cover of the existing refrigerator. Among them, Figures 1 to 3 a structural schematic view of the end cover structure provided by the present application, Figures 4 to 9 a structural schematic view of the door body assembly provided by the present application.
[0048] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3In an embodiment of the utility model, this end cover structure 100 includes cover body 1, be equipped with a plurality of connecting structure 2 on cover body 1, at least two connecting structure 2 are different settings, to supply different handle structure selection installation.
[0049] It needs to be explained that, in order to install the handle structure on the end cover structure 100, the connecting structure 2 has a connecting part for connecting with the handle structure, and the at least two connecting structure 2 are different settings, which means that in the two connecting structure 2, one of the connecting structure 2 can be threadedly connected, and the other connecting structure 2 can be buckled, or one of the connecting structure 2 can be partially threadedly connected, and the other connecting structure 2 can be partially buckled, or one of the connecting structure 2 can be insertedly connected, and the other connecting structure 2 can be buckled, as long as the two connecting structure 2 are not the same, and the utility model does not limit this. The different handle structures can be different in material, such as metal handle or plastic handle, or different in shape, such as L-shaped handle or T-shaped handle, and the utility model does not limit this.
[0050] In the technical scheme of the utility model, the plurality of connecting structure 2 are arranged to enable the end cover structure 100 to be installed with the plurality of handle structures, and the plurality of connecting structure 2 are different settings to enable the end cover to be adapted to different types of handle structures, ensure that the different handle structures can be firmly installed on the end cover structure 100, enable the end cover structure 100 to be adapted to different types of handle structures, and be beneficial to improving the versatility of the end cover structure 100, thereby solving the problem of poor versatility of the end cover of the existing refrigerator.
[0051] In an embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figure 2 And Figure 8 Each connecting structure 2 includes a connecting part, and the connecting part in at least one connecting structure 2 can form a buckle connection, so that the handle structure is quickly installed on the end cover structure 100 by using the buckle connection.
[0052] It can be understood that, in the two connecting structure 2, the connecting part in at least one connecting structure 2 can form a buckle connection, which means that both connecting structure 2 can use buckle connection, or one of the connecting structure 2 can use buckle connection, or part of the connecting part in one connecting structure 2 can use buckle connection, and the utility model does not limit this.
[0053] In an embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figure 2 And Figure 5, the connecting part of at least one of the connecting structures 2 can form a threaded connection, so that the threaded connection helps to strengthen the connecting strength between the handle structure and the end cover structure 100, thereby helping to improve the firmness of the connection between the end cover structure 100 and the handle structure.
[0054] It can be understood that, in the two connecting structures 2, the connecting part of at least one of the connecting structures 2 can form a threaded connection, which means that both of the two connecting structures 2 can be threaded, one of the two connecting structures 2 can be threaded, or part of the connecting part in one of the connecting structures 2 can be threaded. The utility model does not limit this.
[0055] It should be noted that, in the two connecting structures 2, at least one of the number, position or shape of the connecting part is different, that is, the two connecting structures 2 are not the same. For example, one of the two connecting structures 2 has two connecting parts, the other has one connecting part or three connecting parts, etc. Alternatively, one of the two connecting structures 2 is a snap connection, and the other is a threaded connection, etc. All of the above can make the two connecting structures 2 different.
[0056] It should be noted that the above two related technical features: "the connecting part of at least one of the connecting structures 2 can form a snap connection" and "the connecting part of at least one of the connecting structures 2 can form a snap connection" can be set alternatively or simultaneously. The utility model does not limit this.
[0057] In an embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 3At least two of the connection structures 2 include first connection structures 21 with different configurations. Each first connection structure 21 includes a first connection portion 211 and a second connection portion 212. The first connection portion 211 is used to form a plug-in connection, and the second connection portion 212 is used to form a threaded connection. Thus, by setting the first connection portion 211 and the second connection portion 212, the two ends of the handle structure are positioned on the end cap structure 100, so that the first connection structure 21 can resist the torque generated by the handle structure during use. At the same time, the first connection portion 211 and the second connection portion 212 adopt plug-in connection and threaded connection respectively, which not only facilitates the quick installation of the handle structure on the end cap structure 100, but also strengthens the connection between the end cap structure 100 and the handle structure, thereby helping to improve the firmness of the connection of the first connection structure 21. Furthermore, the first connecting part 211 and the second connecting part 212 are respectively configured as a first connecting group. Multiple first connecting groups are provided, and the multiple first connecting groups are spaced apart along the length direction of the cover body.

Each second connecting structure 22 includes a third connecting portion 221 and a fourth connecting portion 222. Both the third connecting portion 221 and the fourth connecting portion 222 are used to form a snap-fit connection. Thus, by setting the third connecting portion 221 and the fourth connecting portion 222, the two ends of the handle structure are positioned on the end cap structure 100, allowing the first connecting structure 21 to withstand the torque generated by the handle structure during use. Simultaneously, the snap-fit connection of the third connecting portion 221 and the fourth connecting portion 222 allows for quick installation of the handle structure onto the end cap structure 100, and compared to threaded structures, eliminates the need for screws, thereby reducing costs. Furthermore, the third connecting portion 221 and the fourth connecting portion 222 are correspondingly configured as second connecting groups. Multiple second connecting groups are provided, spaced apart along the length of the cap body. Thus, by providing multiple second connecting groups, the connection between the end cap structure 100 and the handle structure is strengthened.
[0059] It should be noted that the above two related technical features: "the first connecting part 211 is used to form a plug-in connection, and the second connecting part 212 is used to form a threaded connection" and "the second connecting structure 22 includes a third connecting part 221 and a fourth connecting part 222, both of which are used to form a snap-fit connection" can be provided selectively or simultaneously. This utility model does not limit this.
[0060] Please refer to the figure in one embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first connecting portion 211 includes a socket 2111 for inserting a corresponding insertion protrusion 411 on the handle structure. Thus, by providing the socket 2111 to engage with the insertion protrusion 411 on the handle structure, the handle structure can be inserted and installed into the end cap structure 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting portion 211 may also be an insertion protrusion 411, etc., and this invention does not limit this to that.
[0061] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The second connecting part 212 includes a connecting through hole 412 or a threaded hole 2121 provided on the cover 1 for locking the screw fastener 5 to the cover 1. Thus, by providing the connecting through hole 412 or the threaded hole 2121 to cooperate with the connecting through hole 412 on the handle structure, the handle structure can be threadedly locked to the end cap structure 100 by the screw fastener 5. It is understood that the screw fastener 5 can be a screw, bolt, etc., and this utility model does not limit this.
[0062] It should be noted that the above two related technical features: "the first connecting part 211 includes a socket 2111 for inserting the insertion protrusion 411 provided on the corresponding handle structure" and "the second connecting part 212 includes a connecting through hole 412 or a threaded hole 2121 provided on the cover 1 for locking the screw fastener 5 to lock the corresponding handle structure to the cover 1" can be provided in one or both, and this utility model does not limit this.
[0063] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8Both the third connecting portion 221 and the fourth connecting portion 222 include a retaining hole for a retaining protrusion on the corresponding handle structure to extend into and retain against the edge of the retaining hole. Thus, by providing the retaining hole to engage with the retaining protrusion on the handle structure, the handle structure is snap-fitted onto the end cap structure 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the third connecting portion 221 and the fourth connecting portion 222 may also be retaining protrusions; this invention does not limit this to such cases.
[0064] In one embodiment of this utility model, the cover 1 includes a first cover segment 11, a second cover segment 12, and a third cover segment 13. The second cover segment 12 extends laterally, while the first cover segment 11 and the third cover segment 13 extend longitudinally, with their opposite ends connected to the two ends of the second cover segment 12. This allows the cover 1 to be stepped, which not only allows the installation position of the handle structure to be located on the cover 1, facilitating the quick installation of the handle structure onto the end cap structure 100, but also utilizes the thickness of the end cap structure 100, improving the space utilization rate of the end cap structure 100.
[0065] It should be noted that the lateral direction can be varied, including left-right, front-back, or up-down, etc. This utility model does not limit this. For example, with the second cover segment 12 as a reference, the lateral direction refers to the width direction of the second cover segment 12, and the longitudinal direction refers to the thickness direction of the second cover segment 12.
[0066] Further, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 At least two of the connecting structures 2 include first connecting structures 21 with different configurations. Each first connecting structure 21 includes a first connecting portion 211 and a second connecting portion 212. The first connecting portion 211 is located on the first cover segment 11, and the second connecting portion 212 is located on the third cover segment 13. Thus, the first connecting portion 211 and the second connecting portion 212 are respectively located on the first cover segment 11 and the third cover segment 13, so as to respectively position the two ends of the handle structure on the end cover structure 100. This allows the first connecting structure 21 to resist the torque generated by the handle structure during use, thereby enabling the first connecting structure 21 to firmly fix the handle structure to the end cover structure 100.
[0067] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8At least two of the connecting structures 2 include a first connecting structure 21 and a second connecting structure 22 that are disposed differently. The second connecting structure 22 includes a third connecting part 221 and a fourth connecting part 222. The third connecting part 221 is disposed on the second cover section 12, and the fourth connecting part 222 is disposed on the third cover section 13. Thus, the third connecting part 221 and the fourth connecting part 222 are respectively disposed on the second cover section 12 and the third cover section 13, so as to respectively position the two ends of the handle structure to the end cover structure 100, so that the second connecting structure 22 can resist the torque generated by the handle structure during use, thereby enabling the second connecting structure 22 to firmly fix the handle structure to the end cover structure 100.
[0068] It should be noted that the first connecting part 211 and the third connecting part 221 are respectively disposed on the first cover section 11 and the second cover section 12. This facilitates the fixing of the handle structure with the second connecting part 212 and the fourth connecting part 222, and also allows the first connecting part 211 and the third connecting part 221 to be disposed separately, so that the first connecting structure 21 and the second connecting structure 22 can be connected to different handle structures respectively.
[0069] It should also be noted that the above two related technical features: "the first connecting part 211 includes a socket 2111 for inserting the insertion protrusion 411 provided on the corresponding handle structure" and "the second connecting part 212 includes a connecting through hole 412 or a threaded hole 2121 provided on the cover 1 for locking the screw fastener 5 to lock the corresponding handle structure to the cover 1" can be provided in one or both, and this utility model does not limit this.
[0070] In one embodiment of this utility model, the first cover segment 11 also has a decorative element 3, thereby enhancing the appearance of the cover 1. Furthermore, the connection between the decorative element 3 and the cover 1 can be varied, such as snap-fit connection or screw connection, and this utility model does not limit this to any particular method.
[0071] In addition, this utility model also provides a door assembly 1000 for a refrigerator; please refer to [link / reference].

The first handle structure 41 is selectively connected to the end cap structure 100 through the first connecting structure 21, and the second handle structure 42 is selectively connected to the end cap structure 100 through the second connecting structure 22. This allows the door assembly 1000 to form different door combinations. By setting the first connecting structure 21 and the second connecting structure 22 with different configurations, the end cap structure 100 can be adapted to the first handle structure 41 and the second handle structure 42, allowing the same end cap structure 100 to be adapted to different handle structures, thereby helping to reduce the cost of the refrigerator.
[0072] It should be noted that the specific structure of the end cap structure 100 refers to the above embodiments. Since the door body assembly 1000 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
