[0023] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this application to achieve its intended purpose, the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects according to this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "an embodiment" or "an embodiment" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0024] Combination Figures 1-7 As shown, the refrigerator includes a refrigerator body and a refrigerator door that is rotatably connected to the refrigerator body 1. The refrigerator door specifically includes a door frame 2, a panel assembly 3 fixed to the outer side of the door frame 2, and a door seal 4 that is detachably installed on the inner side of the door frame 2. The door seal 4 is used to ensure that the refrigerator door is sealed to the refrigerator body 1 when the door is closed.

[0025] The door frame 2 includes two vertical frame strips 22 and an upper frame 21 and a lower frame 23 respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the two vertical frame strips 22. The vertical frame strips 22, the upper frame 21 and the lower frame 23 are assembled into one unit using any of the existing fixed assembly methods. The door frame 2 is usually a quadrilateral square frame structure.

[0026] The top of the upper frame 21 protrudes from the top surface of the refrigerator body 1. A first recess 210, serving as a handle, is formed on the back side of the upper frame 21 facing away from the panel assembly 3. The panel assembly 3 is fixed to the front side of the door frame 2, and the top surface of the panel assembly 3 is flush with the top of the upper frame 21. Alternatively, the top surface of the panel assembly 3 is higher than the top surface of the upper frame 21, so that the upper frame 21, which protrudes from the top surface of the refrigerator body 1, is hidden on the back side of the panel assembly 3, so that although the upper frame 21 protrudes from the top surface of the refrigerator body 1, it does not affect the overall appearance of the refrigerator.

[0027] Preferably, the top surface of the panel assembly 3 is flush with the top surface of the upper frame 21. This avoids damage caused by the user's hand force being mistakenly applied to the top surface of the panel assembly 3 when the top surface of the panel assembly 3 is higher than the top surface of the upper frame 21 and the user's hand is applied to the first recess 210 to open the refrigerator door.

[0028] Further integration Figure 7 As shown, the upper frame 21 includes a frame body 211 and a vertical baffle 212 formed on the front side of the frame body 211. A first recess 210 is formed between the frame body 211 and the vertical baffle 212, and the upper end of the panel assembly 3 is fixed to the front side of the vertical baffle 212. This structure ensures that when the first recess 210 is used as a hidden handle for the refrigerator door, the user's hand is placed inside the first recess 210 and acts on the vertical baffle 212, thus protecting the panel assembly 3 from damage.

[0029] In order to improve the structural rigidity of the upright baffle 212, a support baffle 213 connected to the frame body 211 is provided on the rear side of the upright baffle 212. The support baffle 213 improves the structural strength between the upright baffle 212 and the frame body 211, and avoids damage to the upright baffle 212 during repeated force application to the first recess 210 to open the refrigerator door, thereby improving the overall structural reliability of the refrigerator door.

[0030] Preferably, the support baffle 213 is provided with a side clearance near the opening side of the refrigerator door, and a first recess 210 is formed at the position of the upright baffle 212 and the frame body 211 near the opening side of the refrigerator door. This structure eliminates the need to separately create a groove in the upper frame 21 to form the first recess 210, which helps to simplify the overall molding and manufacturing cost of the upper frame 21.

[0031] The opening side of the refrigerator door is the concept opposite to the rotating side of the refrigerator door. The rotating side of the refrigerator door refers to the side of the refrigerator door that is rotatably connected to the refrigerator body 1 at its upper and lower ends via the upper rotating shaft 91 and lower rotating shaft 92, respectively. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 As shown. The opening side of the refrigerator door refers to the vertical side of the refrigerator door that is away from the rotating side.

[0032] In addition, the refrigerator door usually includes an electrical component 5, which is generally a circuit board that integrates a display screen and operation buttons and is built into the upper frame 21.

[0033] The upper frame 21 is provided with a through slot 214 through which the electrical component 5 passes. The electrical component 5 is fixed on the support frame 6, which is detachably mounted on the back side of the upper frame 21 so that the electrical component 5 is located in the through slot 214.

[0034] A cover plate 29 is also installed on the back side of the upper frame 21. When the cover plate 29 is installed on the back side of the upper frame 21, it covers the support frame 6 and also facilitates the installation of the door seal 4 on the back of the door frame 2.

[0035] A first fixing post 215 and a second fixing post 216 are respectively provided on the back side of the upper frame 21. The support frame 6 has first fixing holes 61 at both opposite ends. Screws are passed through the first fixing holes 61 and locked to the first fixing posts 215, thereby fixing the support frame 6 to the back side of the upper frame 21. The cover plate 29 has a second fixing hole 291. Screws are passed through the second fixing holes 291 and locked to the second fixing posts 216, fixing the cover plate 29 to the back side of the upper frame 21 and covering the support frame 6.

[0036] When the electrical component 5 needs to be replaced or maintained, simply remove the door seal 4 from the back side of the door frame 2, then remove the cover plate 29, and further remove the support frame 6 from the back side of the upper frame 21. Take the support frame 6 and the electrical component 5 out of the upper frame 21 together. This makes the operation simple and convenient for later maintenance.

[0037] Furthermore, the center of the panel assembly 3 is usually set as a hollow transparent glass 31, which allows users to observe the inside of the refrigerator body 1 through the hollow transparent glass 31, thereby improving the user experience.

[0038] In order to allow users to see the interior of the refrigerator body 1 more clearly through the hollow transparent glass 31 and improve the user's visual experience, the vertical frame strips 22 of the door frame 2 are respectively provided with light strip grooves 221, and ambient light strips 24 are set in the light strip grooves 221, and the light strip grooves 221 are encapsulated in the light strip grooves 221 by the lampshade 25.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
