[0022] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] This embodiment presents a drawer structure for the refrigerator compartment; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drawer structure includes a cabinet 1 that can freely enter and exit the refrigerator compartment. The cabinet 1 has an exposed opening, and a handle 2 is located at the rear of the cabinet 1, on the side facing the user. The refrigerator compartment also contains a slide rail 3, preferably a commercially available three-section damping buffer slide. It should be noted that there are two slide rails 3 in this embodiment, symmetrically fixed to the side wall of the refrigerator compartment. In this embodiment, there is also a bracket 4, and fasteners for quick installation or removal of the bracket 4 and the cabinet 1. Further, each slide rail 3 is equipped with a bracket 4, which is connected to the slide rail 3 by bolts or other structures. The bracket 4 also supports the cabinet 1, and the fasteners secure the cabinet 1 from the position where the bracket 4 supports it. Thus, personnel can move the cabinet 1 within the refrigerator compartment using the slide rail 3. Further, in this embodiment, the bracket 4 has a first side strip 5, and the cabinet 1 has a second side strip 6 extending outwards from its upper edge. The second side strip 6 coincides with the first side strip 5 in the height direction. The fasteners mentioned above are screws 7 and nuts 8. Screws 7 are fixed to the first side strip 5, and the second side strip 6 has a corresponding hole for the screws 7. The screws 7 extend outward from the holes, and the extended portion is secured by the nuts 8. In this embodiment, when installing the housing 1, the first side strip 5 (bracket 4) with the screws 7 can be pulled outward. After pulling it out, the screws 7 can be directly inserted into the holes provided in the second side strip 6, and the housing 1 and bracket 4 can be fastened together by the nuts 8 securing the screws 7. Compared to current fixing methods, this embodiment first shifts the operating position from the side to above the housing 1. After the holes are aligned, the housing 1 is supported by the first side strip 5, and personnel only need to tighten the nuts 8 to secure it. This is more convenient than the bolts and other structures used in the past.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] This embodiment presents a drawer structure for the refrigerator compartment; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 3-6The drawer structure includes a cabinet 1 that can freely enter and exit the refrigerator compartment. The cabinet 1 has an exposed opening, and a handle 2 is located at the rear of the cabinet 1, on the side facing the user. The refrigerator compartment also contains a slide rail 3, preferably a commercially available three-section damping buffer slide. It should be noted that there are two slide rails 3 in this embodiment, symmetrically fixed to the side wall of the refrigerator compartment. In this embodiment, there is also a bracket 4, and fasteners for quick installation or removal of the bracket 4 and the cabinet 1. Further, each slide rail 3 is equipped with a bracket 4, which is connected to the slide rail 3 by bolts or other structures. The bracket 4 also supports the cabinet 1, and the fasteners secure the cabinet 1 from the position where the bracket 4 supports it. Thus, personnel can move the cabinet 1 within the refrigerator compartment using the slide rail 3. Further, in this embodiment, the bracket 4 has a first side strip 5, and the cabinet 1 has a second side strip 6 extending outwards from its upper edge. The second side strip 6 coincides with the first side strip 5 in the height direction.

[0029] Unlike Embodiment 1, this embodiment reduces the gap between the box opening and its upper baffle (not shown in the figure). It should be noted that in Embodiment 1, to facilitate user tightening of the nut 8, the nut 8 is exposed, allowing for simple tightening without the need for a wrench or similar tool. However, this design raises the height of the upper baffle, thus creating a gap. This embodiment provides an alternative solution; for details, please refer to [link to specific details]. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The fastener is a locking block 9, which is an I-shaped block. The first side strip 5 and the second side strip 6 have slots 10 adapted to the configuration of the locking block 9. The locking block 9 is pushed into the slots 10 to lock the first side strip 5 and the second side strip 6. Further explanation is as follows... Figure 5 As shown, after the locking block 9 is pushed into the slot 10, its top is flush with the top of the second side strip 6, and its bottom is flush with the bottom of the first side strip 5. This design can make the above-mentioned interval infinitely close to zero. Furthermore, the fastener proposed in this embodiment has a further improvement in ease of installation and disassembly compared to Embodiment 1. Specifically, during installation, it is only necessary to overlap the first side strip 5 and the second side strip 6 to align the slots 10 provided at the first side strip 5 and the second side strip 6. After alignment, the locking block 9 is pushed into the slot 10 to complete the installation. The disassembly process is even simpler; simply pull out the locking block 9 to release the fixation.

[0030] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0031] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
