Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0022] like Figure 1-7 The refrigerator drawer shown includes a drawer body 1 and a front cover 2 that is detachable from the drawer body 1. The front of the drawer body 1 is provided with an opening 3. The front cover 2 is located at the opening 3 and seals the opening 3. A condensate baffle 4 is provided at the bottom of the opening 3 and fixed to the edge of the drawer body 1. A retaining strip 5 is installed on the inner side wall of the bottom of the front cover 2 and is fastened to the condensate baffle 4. Limiting blocks 6 are provided on both sides of the opening 3 and fixed to the inner wall of the drawer body 1. A limiting sleeve 7 is fixed on the inner side wall of the front cover 2 to limit the limiting blocks 6. A rotating limiting plug is provided on one side of the limiting block 6. After the limiting plug is rotated, the limiting block 6 is limited and fixed in the limiting sleeve 7, and the front cover 2 is fixed to the front side of the opening 3.

[0023] Based on the above, the front cover 2 is engaged with the condensate baffle 4 at the bottom of the drawer body 1 opening 3 by the bottom clip 5, and the two sides are positioned by the cooperation of the limiting block 6 and the limiting sleeve 7. Then, the front cover 2 is fixed by flipping it with the limiting plug, so as to achieve a detachable connection.

[0024] The condensate baffle 4 is bent upward at both ends and attached to the inner walls on both sides of the opening 3. The condensate baffle 4 is set perpendicular to the bottom of the opening 3.

[0025] The two ends of the clip 5 are bent upwards, and the clip 5 has a groove 8 that matches the condensate baffle 4. When the front cover 2 is fixed to the front side of the opening 3, the condensate baffle 4 is inserted into the groove 8 and fits in place.

[0026] Based on the above, the condensate baffle 4 is bent upwards at both ends and vertically fixed to the bottom of the opening 3, fitting snugly against the inner walls on both sides of the opening 3 to form a stable support structure; the retaining strip 5 on the inner side of the bottom of the front cover 2 is also bent upwards at both ends, with a retaining groove 8 inside that matches the condensate baffle 4. During installation, the retaining strip 5 is inserted along the condensate baffle 4, and the retaining groove 8 fits tightly against the baffle, achieving initial positioning and fixation of the bottom of the front cover 2, effectively preventing condensate from entering the drawer from the gap between the front cover 2 and the drawer body 1, keeping the items inside the drawer dry and clean, and reducing the impact of condensate on the items.

[0027] The limiting blocks 6 on both sides of the opening 3 are fixed to the inner wall of the drawer body 1, and the limiting sleeve 7 on the inner side of the front cover 2 is fitted on the limiting block 6 to form a guide structure, ensuring that the left and right positions of the front cover 2 are accurately aligned during installation and avoiding displacement.

[0028] Furthermore, the engagement of the bottom retaining strip 5 with the condensate baffle 4, the positioning of the side limiting sleeves 7 and the limiting blocks 6, and the insertion and soft magnetic adsorption of the limiting plugs form a triple fixing mechanism to ensure that the front cover 2 will not loosen or fall off during use due to operations such as pulling the drawer, and the fixing stability is strong.

[0029] The limiting plug includes a hinge shaft 9 fixed to the inner wall of the drawer body 1 and a connecting rod 10 connected to the end of the hinge shaft 9. An arc-shaped limiting rod 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting rod 10 facing the front cover 2. A through hole 12 is provided on the limiting sleeve 7 for the limiting rod 11 to pass through, and a limiting hole 13 is provided on the limiting block 6 for the limiting rod 11 to be inserted. The center of the arc-shaped limiting rod 11 coincides with the axis of rotation of the hinge shaft 9.

[0030] Based on the above, the hinge shaft 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the drawer body 1, and the connecting rod 10 can be rotated around the hinge shaft 9. The limiting rod 11 is arc-shaped, and the center of its arc coincides with the rotation axis of the hinge shaft 9, ensuring that when flipped, the limiting rod 11 can accurately pass through the through hole 12 on the limiting sleeve 7 and be inserted into the limiting hole 13 of the limiting block 6;

[0031] The center of the arc of the limiting rod 11 coincides with the axis of the hinge shaft 9, ensuring precise movement trajectory during rotation. This allows for smooth insertion into the limiting hole 13, preventing jamming and ensuring even distribution of the limiting force, thus improving the reliability of the fixation.

[0032] A limiting plate 14 perpendicular to the connecting rod 10 is installed at the end of the connecting rod 10 away from the hinge shaft 9. When the limiting rod 11 passes through the through hole 12 on the limiting sleeve 7 and is inserted into the limiting hole 13 of the limiting block 6, the limiting plate 14 is attached to the outer wall of the limiting sleeve 7 on the side away from the hinge shaft 9.

[0033] The limiting plate 14 is embedded with a first soft magnetic sheet 15, and the outer wall of the limiting sleeve 7 is embedded with a second soft magnetic sheet 16 that is attracted to the first soft magnetic sheet 15.

[0034] Based on the above, when the limiting rod 11 is inserted into the limiting hole 13, the limiting plate 14 at the end of the connecting rod 10 adheres to the outer wall of the limiting sleeve 7. At this time, the first soft magnetic sheet 15 on the limiting plate 14 is attracted to the second soft magnetic sheet 16 on the outer wall of the limiting sleeve 7, which further enhances the fixing effect, prevents the limiting plug from loosening and falling off, and achieves a firm fixation of the front cover 2.

[0035] Based on the above, the front cover 2 and the drawer body 1 are detachably connected through a combination structure of the locking strip 5, the limiting sleeve 7, and the limiting plug, allowing for quick disassembly and installation without tools. Users can replace the front cover 2 with different colors, materials, or styles to meet personalized decoration needs, and the operation is simple when the front cover 2 needs to be repaired or replaced.

[0036] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented according to conventional means in the art.
