Unless otherwise specified, these terms should be understood according to their ordinary and general meanings.

[0040] Unless otherwise required by context, the term "comprise" and its other forms such as "comprises" and "comprising" are to be construed as open, inclusive, meaning "including, but not limited to", throughout the specification and claims. In the description of the specification, the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiments", "example", "specific example" or "some examples" and the like are intended to mean that a particular feature, structure, material or characteristic included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. The illustrative representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. In addition, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any appropriate manner.

[0041] In the description of the present disclosure, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing some embodiments of the present disclosure and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure.

[0042] Hereinafter, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth" and the like are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second", "third", "fourth" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0043] In describing some embodiments, "coupled" and "connected," along with their derivatives, can be used. It should be understood that these terms are not intended as synonyms for each other. Rather, "connected" can be used to indicate that two or more elements are in direct physical or electrical contact with each other. "Coupled" can be used to indicate that two or more elements are in either physical or electrical contact with each other, even at a distance. As will be apparent, "a" or "an" can be used herein to refer to one or more than one (i.e., to "one or more") of the referenced material or object. The disclosure of an embodiment herein does not necessarily exclude other embodiments from the scope of the disclosure.

[0044] "at least one of A, B, and C" has the same meaning as "at least one of A, B, or C" and includes the following combinations: only A, only B, only C, a combination of A and B, a combination of A and C, a combination of B and C, and a combination of A, B, and C.

[0045] "A and / or B" includes the following combinations: only A, only B, and a combination of A and B.

[0046] The use of "adapted to" or "configured to" herein is meant as open and inclusive language that does not foreclose devices adapted to or configured to perform additional tasks or steps.

[0047] As used herein, "about," "approximately," or "around" includes the recited value and the average value within an acceptable range of deviation from the recited value, as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art considering the measurement in question and the error in measuring the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).

[0048] As used herein, "parallel," "perpendicular," and "equal" include the recited condition and conditions that approximate the recited condition within an acceptable range of deviation, as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art considering the measurement in question and the error in measuring the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes absolute parallel and near parallel, where near parallel can have an acceptable range of deviation of, for example, within 5°; "perpendicular" includes absolute perpendicular and near perpendicular, where near perpendicular can also have an acceptable range of deviation of, for example, within 5°. "Equal" includes absolute equality and near equality, where near equality can have an acceptable range of deviation of, for example, a difference between the two that is less than or equal to 5% of either.

[0049] As described in the background, the door body in the related art includes a door shell and an inner container connected together. The door shell can be formed by a sheet metal process to improve the stability of the overall structure of the door shell and the aesthetic appearance of the outer surface of the door shell. In the production process of the door body, foaming material can be filled into the cavity formed by the door shell and the inner container, so that the foaming material expands and solidifies in the cavity, thereby being able to fix the door shell and the inner container and being able to play a heat preservation effect through the foaming material in the cavity.

[0050] It is easy to understand that, since the door shell has a gap, when the foaming material is filled into the cavity formed by the door shell and the inner container, the foaming material is easy to flow out of the gap of the door shell in the process of filling and expanding, and it is easy to cause the foaming material to have concave or hollow drum conditions after the expansion and solidification process, thereby affecting the filling effect of the foaming material in the cavity.

[0051] In addition, since the door shell is usually formed by a sheet metal process such as bending a metal plate, the edges of the two side walls of the door shell, the upper wall and the lower wall of the door shell are easy to have edge lifting or burr conditions, so that the width of the gap between the two side walls of the door shell and the upper wall and the lower wall of the door shell is increased, further affecting the sealing performance of the cavity formed by the door shell and the inner container.

[0052] Therefore, in the related art, the door shell can be provided with a decorative plate, and the decorative plate can be inserted into the gap of the door shell. At least part of the decorative plate is located in the cavity, and part of the decorative plate is located outside the cavity. At least part of the decorative plate can be arranged between the side wall and the upper wall of the door shell, or between the side wall and the lower wall of the door shell, so as to block the gap of the door shell by the decorative plate located outside the cavity, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the door shell and improving the sealing performance of the door shell.

[0053] In the installation process of the decorative plate, the decorative plate is usually inserted into the gap of the door shell, and a first part of the decorative plate is located in the cavity formed by the door shell and the inner container, and a second part of the decorative plate is located outside the cavity. Then, the foaming material can be filled into the cavity formed by the door shell and the inner container, so that the foaming material expands and solidifies in the cavity, thereby being able to fix the decorative plate through the foaming material.

[0054] However, when the foaming material is filled into the cavity formed by the door shell and the inner container, the foaming material will contact the first part of the decorative plate, and in the process of expansion and solidification of the foaming material, the foaming material will push and press the decorative plate, so that the decorative plate is skewed or protruded, at this time, the decorative plate is difficult to be taken out from the door shell, and the reinstallation process of the decorative plate is troublesome, which makes the installation process of the decorative plate complex and the assembly efficiency of the decorative plate low.

[0055] Therefore, the refrigerator 1000 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure is provided with a mounting seat in the cavity, and the decorative plate is fixed to the door shell through the mounting seat. When the decorative plate is fixed to the door shell through the mounting seat, the first part of the decorative plate is located in the cavity surrounded by the door shell and the inner container, and the first part of the decorative plate can be fixed to the mounting seat to fix the decorative plate to the door shell. When the decorative plate is fixed to the door shell through the mounting seat, the second part of the decorative plate can be located outside the cavity surrounded by the door shell and the inner container, and the second part of the decorative plate can be used to shield the two side walls of the door shell and the gaps between the upper wall and the lower wall of the door shell.

[0056] When the edges of the two side walls of the door shell, the upper wall and the lower wall of the door shell are warped or the like, the edges of the two side walls, the upper wall and the lower wall of the door shell are exposed. By providing the decorative plate on the door shell, the edges of the two side walls, the upper wall and the lower wall of the door shell can also be shielded by the decorative plate, thereby reducing the possibility of exposure of the edges of the two side walls, the upper wall and the lower wall of the door shell, and further reducing the possibility of the door shell scratching the user's hand, thereby improving the reliability of the refrigerator 1000.

[0057] In addition, compared with the related art, the refrigerator 1000 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure can first fix the mounting seat to the door shell, and then fix the first part of the decorative plate to the door shell through the mounting seat, and the second part of the decorative plate can be located outside the cavity surrounded by the door shell and the inner container, thereby reducing the possibility of the decorative plate being warped or protruding, and reducing the possibility of the foaming material directly contacting the decorative plate, to improve the convenience of the process of reinstalling the decorative plate, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the decorative plate.

[0058] Referring to FIGS. 1-6, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a refrigerator 1000, which includes a cabinet 10 including a top portion and a bottom portion arranged along a length direction. The cabinet 10 can form a storage compartment inside, and the storage compartment can include a refrigeration compartment and a freezing compartment to store food in a refrigerated or frozen state.

[0059] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 1000 can include a door body 20. The door body 20 can be used to at least open and close the storage compartment. The door body 20 can be used to form a relatively closed space for the cabinet 10, so that the storage compartment of the cabinet 10 can maintain a relatively constant temperature, and the temperature rising speed of the storage compartment can be reduced.

[0060] The door body 20 can include a door shell 100. The door shell 100 can be formed by a sheet metal process. In this way, the stability of the overall structure of the door shell 100 and the aesthetic appearance of the outer surface of the door shell 100 can be improved, thereby improving the overall aesthetic appearance of the refrigerator 1000.

[0061] The door shell 100 can include a front wall 110 facing the front side, and side walls 120 facing the left and right sides of the door shell 100. One of the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100 faces the left side of the door shell 100, and the other of the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100 faces the right side of the door shell 100. The front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100 can be integrally formed by processes such as bending, so as to improve the convenience of the forming process of the door shell 100.

[0062] It should be noted that the left and right sides of the door shell 100 can be referred to from the perspective of the refrigerator 1000. When a user stands in front of the refrigerator 1000 and looks at the refrigerator 1000, if the door body 20 is in a closed state, the front of the user is opposite to the front side of the door body 20, the left side of the user can be used to indicate the left side of the door shell 100, and the right side of the user can be used to indicate the right side of the door shell 100.

[0063] In some embodiments, the connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 facing the left side of the door shell 100 can be provided as a left front edge, and the side of the side wall 120 facing the left side of the door shell 100 away from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 can be bent to form a left rear edge. The left front edge and the left rear edge are arranged along the thickness direction of the door body 20.

[0064] The connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 facing the right side of the door shell 100 can be provided as a right front edge, and the side of the side wall 120 facing the right side of the door shell 100 away from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 can be bent to form a right rear edge. The right front edge and the right rear edge are arranged along the thickness direction of the door body 20.

[0065] In the process of forming the door shell 100, the connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the side of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 away from the front wall 110 usually need to keep a bending radius. For example, the left front edge, the left rear edge, the right front edge, and the right rear edge are formed as a circular corner structure with a circular arc shape, so as to improve the smoothness of the connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0066] The door shell 100 can further include an upper wall 130 and a lower wall facing the upper and lower sides of the door shell 100. The front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 can be integrally formed by processes such as bending, so as to improve the convenience of the forming process of the door shell 100.

[0067] In some embodiments, the connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be provided as an upper front edge, and the side of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 away from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 can be bent to form an upper rear edge. The upper front edge and the upper rear edge are arranged along the thickness direction of the door body 20.

[0068] The connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 can be provided as a lower front edge, and the side of the lower wall of the door shell 100 away from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 can be bent to form a lower rear edge, and the lower front edge and the lower rear edge are arranged along the thickness direction of the door body 20.

[0069] In the process of forming the door shell 100, the connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the side of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 away from the front wall 110 usually need to retain a bending radius. The connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the lower wall of the door shell 100, and the side of the lower wall of the door shell 100 away from the front wall 110 usually need to retain a bending radius.

[0070] For example, the upper front edge, the upper rear edge, the lower front edge, and the lower rear edge form a round corner structure in a circular arc shape to improve the smoothness of the connection between the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0071] In some embodiments, the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100, and the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 are bent rearward relative to the front wall 110 of the door shell 100. Since the door shell 100 is usually formed by a sheet metal process such as bending a metal plate, a plurality of gaps 140 are formed between the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100, and the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100, and any one of the plurality of gaps 140 extends rearward from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100.

[0072] The upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 forms a first gap 141 (see FIG. 3) with the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the left, and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 forms a second gap with the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the right. The lower wall of the door shell 100 forms a third gap with the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the left, and the lower wall of the door shell 100 forms a fourth gap with the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the right.

[0073] It should be noted that the structures of the second gap, the third gap, and the fourth gap can be similar to the structure of the first gap 141.

[0074] In some embodiments, the door body 20 of the refrigerator 1000 can be provided with one or more. The door body 20 can be rotatably connected to the cabinet 10 through a rotating shaft to realize the opening and closing process of the door body 20, so that the user can open and close the storage compartment of the cabinet 10 through the door body 20.

[0075] It is easily understood that the rotating shaft can be arranged on the door body 20, and the rotating shaft of the door body 20 can be arranged on the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100. Alternatively, the rotating shaft can be arranged on the cabinet 10, and the shaft sleeve 180 (see FIG. 5) for mounting the rotating shaft can be arranged on the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100. The rotating shaft can extend in the vertical direction, and the door body 20 can rotate relative to the cabinet 10 about the rotating shaft extending in the vertical direction.

[0076] The refrigerator 1000 can be arranged as a built-in refrigerator, which is a household appliance specially designed to be embedded in a kitchen cabinet or a wall. The built-in refrigerator can save the installation space required by the refrigerator and can reduce the influence of the structure such as the cabinet during the process of rotating opening or closing the door body 20.

[0077] In some embodiments, the door shell 100 can form the main structure of the door body 20. The door body 20 further includes a liner 200, and the side of the door shell 100 facing the storage compartment of the cabinet 10 can be connected with the liner 200, and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 is arranged in parallel with the liner 200. The door shell 100 and the liner 200 can jointly enclose the cavity 30.

[0078] In the production process of the door body 20, foaming material can be filled into the cavity 30 enclosed by the door shell 100 and the liner 200, so that the foaming material expands and solidifies in the cavity 30, thereby being able to fix the door shell 100 and the liner 200, and being able to play a heat preservation effect through the foaming material in the cavity 30.

[0079] It is easily understood that, due to the above-mentioned gap 140 of the door shell 100, when the foaming material is filled into the cavity 30 enclosed by the door shell 100 and the liner 200, the foaming material is easy to flow out from the gap 140 of the door shell 100 during the filling and expansion process, and it is easy to cause the foaming material after the expansion and solidification process to appear concave or hollow drum, etc., thereby affecting the filling effect of the foaming material in the cavity 30.

[0080] In addition, since the door shell 100 is usually formed by bending a metal plate or other sheet metal process, the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100, and the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 are easy to appear edge lifting or burr, etc., so that the width of the gap 140 between the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100, and the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 is increased, further affecting the sealing performance of the cavity 30 enclosed by the door shell 100 and the liner 200.

[0081] In some possible embodiments, the door shell 100 can be provided with a decorative plate 400. At least part of the decorative plate 400 is arranged between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100, so as to shield the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 and the gap 140 between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 by the decorative plate 400, thereby improving the appearance of the door shell 100 and improving the sealing performance of the door body 20.

[0082] When the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100 are warped or the like relative to the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100, the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 are exposed. Since the door shell 100 is usually made of a metal plate structure, when a user pulls the door body 20 to rotate the door body 20 relative to the cabinet 10, the exposed edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 are likely to scratch the user's hands, thereby reducing the reliability of the refrigerator 1000.

[0083] The refrigerator 1000 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure can further shield the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 by the decorative plate 400, thereby reducing the possibility of exposure of the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100, and further reducing the possibility of scratching the user's hands by the door shell 100, thereby improving the reliability of the refrigerator 1000.

[0084] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 1000 can include a mounting seat 300. The mounting seat 300 can be fixed relative to the door shell 100, and the mounting seat 300 can be arranged in the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200. The mounting seat 300 can be used to connect the decorative plate 400, so that the decorative plate 400 can be fixedly connected to the door shell 100 of the refrigerator 1000 by the mounting seat 300.

[0085] When the decorative plate 400 is fixed relative to the door shell 100 by the mounting seat 300, the first part of the decorative plate 400 is located in the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200. The first part of the decorative plate 400 can be fixed relative to the mounting seat 300, so that the decorative plate 400 is fixed relative to the door shell 100.

[0086] When the decorative plate 400 is fixed relative to the door shell 100 by the mounting seat 300, the second part of the decorative plate 400 can be located outside the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, and the second part of the decorative plate 400 can be used to shield the gap 140 between the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100.

[0087] For example, the second portion of the decorative plate 400 can be used to abut the upper top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The second portion of the decorative plate 400 can be used to abut the side surface of the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100, so that the decorative plate 400 can shield the gap 140 of the door shell 100.

[0088] In some embodiments, the number of decorative plates 400 can be set to one or more on one door shell 100. For example, the number of decorative plates 400 can be the same as the number of gaps 140 on the door shell 100, and any one gap 140 can be blocked or shielded by one decorative plate 400, respectively.

[0089] In addition, any one decorative plate 400 can be fixed to the door shell 100 by one mounting seat 300, and the mounting seat 300 is arranged close to the corresponding gap 140. Alternatively, a plurality of decorative plates 400 can be fixed to the door shell 100 by one mounting seat 300, so as to reduce the number of mounting seats 300.

[0090] For example, in the case that the door shell 100 has a first gap 141, a second gap, a third gap, and a fourth gap, the number of decorative plates 400 can be set to four, and the four decorative plates 400 can include a first decorative plate 401 (see FIG. 2), a second decorative plate, a third decorative plate, and a fourth decorative plate, so as to block and shield the above-mentioned four gaps 140 by the above-mentioned four decorative plates 400.

[0091] It should be noted that the structures of the second decorative plate, the third decorative plate, and the fourth decorative plate can be similar to that of the first decorative plate 401.

[0092] The number of mounting seats 300 can be set to four, and the four mounting seats 300 can include a first mounting seat 301 (see FIG. 7), a second mounting seat, a third mounting seat, and a fourth mounting seat, so as to correspondingly connect the four decorative plates 400 by the above-mentioned four mounting seats 300.

[0093] It should be noted that the structures of the second mounting seat, the third mounting seat, and the fourth mounting seat can be similar to that of the first mounting seat 301.

[0094] The first decorative plate 401 can be used to block and shield the first gap 141. The first portion of the first decorative plate 401 is fixedly connected to the door shell 100 by the first mounting seat 301. One side of the second portion of the first decorative plate 401 can abut the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the other side of the second portion of the first decorative plate 401 can abut the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the left side.

[0095] The second decorative plate can be used to seal and shield the second gap. The first part of the second decorative plate is fixedly connected with the door shell 100 through the second mounting seat. One side of the second part of the second decorative plate can abut against the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the other side of the second part of the second decorative plate can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the right side.

[0096] The third decorative plate can be used to seal and shield the third gap. The first part of the third decorative plate is fixedly connected with the door shell 100 through the third mounting seat. One side of the second part of the third decorative plate can abut against the lower wall of the door shell 100, and the other side of the second part of the third decorative plate can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the left side.

[0097] The fourth decorative plate can be used to seal and shield the fourth gap. The first part of the fourth decorative plate is fixedly connected with the door shell 100 through the fourth mounting seat. One side of the second part of the fourth decorative plate can abut against the lower wall of the door shell 100, and the other side of the second part of the fourth decorative plate can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the right side.

[0098] It is easy to understand that the door shell 100 can be provided with one or more of the first decorative plate 401, the second decorative plate, the third decorative plate and the fourth decorative plate. The number and position of the decorative plate 400 can be determined according to the actual use of the door body 20.

[0099] For example, when the refrigerator 1000 is set as a cross-door refrigerator, the door shell 100 located at the upper side can be provided with the third decorative plate 400 and the fourth decorative plate 400, and the door shell 100 located at the lower side can be provided with the first decorative plate 401 and the second decorative plate, so that the positions easily noticed by users can be sealed and shielded by the decorative plate 400, and other gaps 140 of the door shell 100 can be sealed and shielded by other ways.

[0100] In some possible embodiments, the mounting seat 300 can be fixedly connected with the door shell 100 to improve the stability of the connection between the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100 and reduce the possibility of loosening between the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100.

[0101] The mounting seat 300 is fixed relative to the door shell 100 and located in the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200. On one hand, the mounting seat 300 can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and on the other hand, the mounting seat 300 can also abut against the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100. The mounting seat 300 is arranged close to the gap 140 of the door shell 100.

[0102] Referring to FIGS. 7-10, the mounting manner between the mounting seat 300 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the door shell 100 is described below by taking the door shell 100 located at the lower part of the plurality of door shells 100 of the refrigerator 1000 as an example.

[0103] In some embodiments, when the mounting seat 300 is relatively fixed with the door shell 100, the mounting seat 300 is located in the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200. The mounting seat 300 can not only abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, but also abut against the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The mounting seat 300 is arranged close to the gap 140 of the door shell 100.

[0104] The mounting seat 300 can be slidably mounted on the door shell 100. For example, when the mounting seat 300 is not fixed with the door shell 100, the mounting seat 300 can be arranged to slide relative to the door shell 100 in the vertical direction (e.g., the y direction shown in FIG. 7) to improve the convenience of the mounting process of the mounting seat 300.

[0105] The mounting seat 300 can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the mounting seat 300 can slide along the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 in the vertical direction, and the mounting seat 300 can be moved from the lower part to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. In this way, the upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can be in contact with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. Then, the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100 can be relatively fixed through the connecting structure, thereby improving the convenience of the fixing process of the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100 during the mounting process of the mounting seat 300.

[0106] In some possible embodiments, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be provided with a bending structure 121. The bending structure 121 can be used to abut against the mounting seat 300. The bending structure 121 is combined with the door shell 100 to limit the sliding process of the mounting seat 300, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the sliding process of the mounting seat 300 in the vertical direction.

[0107] For example, the bending structure 121 can be arranged at the rear side (i.e., the side away from the front wall 110) of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. At least part of the bending structure 121 can extend towards the inner side of the door shell 100, and the part of the bending structure 121 towards the inner side of the door shell 100 can be arranged as a first part of the bending structure 121, which can abut against the mounting seat 300.

[0108] The first portion of the bent structure 121 is arranged in parallel with the front wall 110 of the door shell 100. The first portion of the bent structure 121 abuts against a surface of the mounting seat 300 facing the rear side of the cabinet 10, and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 abuts against a surface of the mounting seat 300 facing the front side of the cabinet 10, so that the sliding process of the mounting seat 300 in the z direction shown in FIG. 7 is limited by the first portion of the bent structure 121 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100.

[0109] The bent structure 121 can further include a second portion. The second portion of the bent structure 121 is arranged at an end of the first portion of the bent structure 121 away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The second portion of the bent structure 121 can extend toward the front side of the cabinet 10. The second portion of the bent structure 121 can be used to abut against a surface of the mounting seat 300 away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the sliding process of the mounting seat 300 in the x direction shown in FIG. 7 is limited by the second portion of the bent structure 121 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0110] For example, referring to FIG. 2, the vertical direction can be set as the first direction (i.e., the y direction), the horizontal direction parallel to the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 can be set as the second direction (i.e., the x direction), and the horizontal direction perpendicular to the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 can be set as the third direction (i.e., the z direction). It should be noted that the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0111] The extending direction of the left front edge, the left rear edge, the right front edge, and the right rear edge can be parallel to the first direction. The extending direction of the upper front edge, the upper rear edge, the lower front edge, and the lower rear edge can be parallel to the second direction. The extending direction of the first gap 141, the second gap, the third gap, and the fourth gap can be parallel to the third direction.

[0112] When the mounting seat 300 slides in the first direction toward the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, in the second direction, the second portion of the bent structure 121 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 abut against both sides of the mounting seat 300 in the second direction, respectively, so that the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the second direction is constrained by the second portion of the bent structure 121 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0113] When the mounting seat 300 slides in the first direction toward the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, in the third direction, the first portion of the bent structure 121 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 abut against both sides of the mounting seat 300 in the third direction, respectively, so that the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the third direction is constrained by the first portion of the bent structure 121 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100.

[0114] It is easy to understand that when the mounting base 300 slides along the first direction towards the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the bending structure 121, the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can constrain the movement of the mounting base 300 in the second direction and the third direction, so as to improve the stability of the sliding process of the mounting base 300 along the first direction and reduce the possibility of deviation of the mounting base 300.

[0115] When the top end of the mounting base 300 contacts the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can constrain the upward movement of the mounting base 300 along the first direction, and the bending structure 121, the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can constrain the movement of the mounting base 300 in the second direction and the third direction, so as to limit the mounting base 300 in three directions.

[0116] In some embodiments, the mounting base 300 can be connected with the door shell 100 through a connecting structure, so that the mounting base 300 can be fixed with the door shell 100 in the first direction through the connecting structure. The bending structure 121, the door shell 100 and the connecting structure can constrain the movement of the mounting base 300 in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction, so as to reduce the possibility of movement of the mounting base 300.

[0117] The first part and the second part of the bending structure 121 can be formed by sheet metal process, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the bending structure 121 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The bending structure 121 on the left side of the door shell 100 forms a left rear edge with the side wall 120 towards the left side of the door shell 100, and the bending structure 121 on the right side of the door shell 100 forms a right rear edge with the side wall 120 towards the right side of the door shell 100.

[0118] It is easy to understand that the first part and the second part of the bending structure 121 can be formed by sheet metal process, so that the bending structure 121 can be formed with the door shell 100 in one processing process, thereby avoiding the need to additionally increase the processing procedure of the bending structure 121, improving the convenience of the forming process of the door shell 100, and further improving the forming efficiency of the door shell 100.

[0119] It should be noted that the bending structure 121 can also be arranged on the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100.

[0120] In the case that the bending structure 121 is arranged on the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100, the first part of the bending structure 121 is arranged in parallel with the front wall 110 of the door shell 100. The first part of the bending structure 121 abuts against the surface of the mounting seat 300 facing the rear side of the cabinet 10, and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 abuts against the surface of the mounting seat 300 facing the front side of the cabinet 10, so as to limit the sliding process of the mounting seat 300 in the z direction shown in FIG. 7 by the first part of the bending structure 121 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100.

[0121] The bending structure 121 can further include a second part, and the second part of the bending structure 121 is arranged at one end of the first part of the bending structure 121 away from the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100. The second part of the bending structure 121 can extend towards the front side of the cabinet 10, and the second part of the bending structure 121 can be used to abut against one side of the mounting seat 300 away from the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100, so as to limit the sliding process of the mounting seat 300 in the y direction shown in FIG. 7 by the second part of the bending structure 121 and the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100.

[0122] When the mounting seat 300 slides towards the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 in the second direction, the second part of the bending structure 121 and the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100 abut against the two sides of the mounting seat 300 in the first direction respectively, so as to constrain the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the second direction by the second part of the bending structure 121 and the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100.

[0123] When the mounting seat 300 slides towards the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 in the second direction, the first part of the bending structure 121 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 abut against the two sides of the mounting seat 300 in the third direction respectively, so as to constrain the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the third direction by the first part of the bending structure 121 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100.

[0124] It is easy to understand that when the mounting seat 300 slides towards the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 in the second direction, the bending structure 121, the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100 can constrain the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the first direction and the third direction, so as to improve the stability of the sliding process of the mounting seat 300 in the second direction and reduce the possibility of deviation of the mounting seat 300.

[0125] When the mounting seat 300 is in contact with the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can constrain the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the second direction, and the bending structure 121, the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100 can constrain the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the first direction and the third direction, so as to limit the mounting seat 300 in three directions.

[0126] In some embodiments, the mounting seat 300 can be connected with the door shell 100 through a connecting structure, so that the mounting seat 300 can be fixed with the door shell 100 in the first direction through the connecting structure. The bending structure 121, the door shell 100 and the connecting structure can constrain the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction, so as to reduce the possibility of movement of the mounting seat 300.

[0127] In some possible implementations, in the lower door shell 100 of the plurality of door shells 100, the number of mounting seats 300 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be two. One of the two mounting seats 300 is arranged close to the left side of the door shell 100, and the other of the two mounting seats 300 is arranged close to the right side of the door shell 100, and the two mounting seats 300 can be respectively used to block one gap 140.

[0128] In the lower door shell 100 of the plurality of door shells 100, the number of mounting seats 300 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be one. The first end of the mounting seat 300 is close to the left side of the door shell 100, and the second end of the mounting seat 300 is close to the right side of the door shell 100, and the first end of the mounting seat 300 and the second end of the mounting seat 300 can be respectively used to block one gap 140. In this way, the number of mounting seats 300 can be reduced.

[0129] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft can be arranged on the door body 20, and the rotating shaft of the door body 20 can be arranged on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The mounting seat 300 can be provided with a mounting groove 390 (see FIG. 12), which can be used to accommodate the rotating shaft of the door body 20, so that the rotating shaft of the door body 20 can pass through the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and can be rotatably connected with the cabinet 10.

[0130] Alternatively, the rotating shaft can be arranged on the cabinet 10, and a shaft sleeve 180 (see FIG. 5) for mounting the rotating shaft can be arranged on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The mounting seat 300 can be provided with a mounting groove 390, which can be used to accommodate the shaft sleeve 180 of the door body 20, so that the shaft sleeve 180 of the door body 20 can pass through the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and can be rotatably connected with the rotating shaft arranged on the cabinet 10.

[0131] It is easy to understand that, since the door shell 100 can be formed by bending a metal plate, the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 has a small thickness relative to the length of the rotating shaft and the length of the shaft sleeve 180. In the vertical direction, the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 has a limited fixing effect on the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180, and when the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180 are fixed only by the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180 can be deflected and tilted, thereby affecting the rotation of the door body 20.

[0132] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the mounting seat 300 is provided with a mounting groove 390. The rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 can be relatively fixed with the mounting seat 300 through the mounting groove 390, so as to improve the stability of the installation of the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180, and the mounting seat 300 can fix the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 through the mounting groove 390, so as to improve the versatility of the function of the mounting seat 300.

[0133] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 arranged in the mounting groove 390 can be relatively fixed with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, so as to improve the stability of the installation of the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180, and reduce the possibility of the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180 shaking relative to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0134] When the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 arranged in the mounting groove 390 is relatively fixed with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 can also be relatively fixed with the mounting seat 300, so that the mounting seat 300 can be relatively fixed with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 arranged in the mounting groove 390, thereby improving the convenience of the fixing process of the mounting seat 300.

[0135] In the installation process of the mounting seat 300, the mounting seat 300 can slide in the vertical direction along the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the mounting seat 300 can move from bottom to top to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can be in contact with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and then the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 can be fixed in the mounting groove 390. In this process, the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 can also be fixed with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, so that the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100 can be relatively fixed through the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180, realizing the installation process of the mounting seat 300 and the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180, and improving the convenience of the fixing process of the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100.

[0136] Referring to FIGS. 7-10, in some possible embodiments, the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300 can be provided with a connecting structure. The door shell 100 can be relatively fixed with the mounting seat 300 through the connecting structure, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300.

[0137] Referring to FIG. 7, the connection structure can be configured such that the door case 100 can be provided with a clamping groove 160, the mounting seat 300 can be provided with a clamping block 360, and the clamping block 360 can be matched with the clamping groove 160. The mounting seat 300 and the door case 100 can be fixed by the matched clamping block 360 and the clamping groove 160, so as to improve the convenience of the fixing process of the mounting seat 300 and the door case 100.

[0138] During the installation process of the mounting seat 300, the mounting seat 300 can slide in the vertical direction along the side wall 120 of the door case 100, so that the mounting seat 300 can be moved from bottom to top to the upper wall 130 of the door case 100. The upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can be in contact with the upper wall 130 of the door case 100, and the clamping block 360 of the mounting seat 300 can be inserted into the clamping groove 160 of the door case 100, so as to fix the mounting seat 300 and the door case 100.

[0139] The clamping groove 160 can be provided in one or more of the front wall 110 of the door case 100, the side wall 120 of the door case 100, the upper wall 130 of the door case 100, and the lower wall of the door case 100, so as to enable the clamping groove 160 to be connected with the clamping block 360 of the mounting seat 300.

[0140] It is easy to understand that the front wall 110 of the door case 100 and the side wall 120 of the door case 100 are exposed on the outside of the refrigerator 1000. In the case where the clamping groove 160 is provided on the front wall 110 of the door case 100 and the side wall 120 of the door case 100, the matching mode of the clamping groove 160 and the clamping block 360 will be exposed on the outside of the refrigerator 1000, thereby affecting the overall aesthetic level of the refrigerator 1000.

[0141] Therefore, the clamping groove 160 can be provided on the upper wall 130 of the door case 100 and the lower wall of the door case 100. For example, the clamping groove 160 located on the upper wall 130 of the door case 100 can be used to fix the mounting seat 300 close to the upper wall 130 of the door case 100. The clamping groove 160 located on the lower wall of the door case 100 can be used to fix the mounting seat 300 close to the lower wall of the door case 100.

[0142] Compared with the setting mode of the clamping groove 160 provided on the front wall 110 of the door case 100 and the side wall 120 of the door case 100, the setting mode of the clamping groove 160 provided on the upper wall 130 of the door case 100 and the lower wall of the door case 100 can reduce the possibility of the clamping groove 160 being exposed on the outside of the refrigerator 1000, thereby improving the overall aesthetic level of the refrigerator 1000, and can reduce the possibility of the clamping block 360 being separated from the clamping groove 160, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the clamping block 360 and the clamping groove 160.

[0143] In some embodiments, the clamping groove 160 can be arranged on the bent structure 121. For example, the clamping groove 160 can be arranged on the first portion of the bent structure 121, and the clamping groove 160 faces the rear side of the cabinet 10. In this way, when the door body 20 is in the closed state, the bent structure 121 can be close to and fit the cabinet 10, so that the clamping groove 160 can be close to the cabinet 10, thereby reducing the possibility of the clamping groove 160 being exposed to the outside of the refrigerator 1000.

[0144] In some embodiments, the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 can be provided with an inner folding structure 170. The inner folding structure 170 located on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be arranged on the side of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 away from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, and the end of the inner folding structure 170 away from the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can extend downward. The inner folding structure 170 located on the lower wall of the door shell 100 can be arranged on the side of the lower wall of the door shell 100 away from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, and the end of the inner folding structure 170 away from the lower wall of the door shell 100 can extend upward.

[0145] The clamping groove 160 can be arranged on the inner folding structure 170. Taking the clamping groove 160 arranged on the inner folding structure 170 located on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 as an example, the connection mode between the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100 is described.

[0146] During the installation process of the mounting seat 300, the mounting seat 300 can slide in the vertical direction along the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the mounting seat 300 can move from bottom to top to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can be in contact with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the surface of the mounting seat 300 facing the rear side of the cabinet 10 can be in contact with the inner folding structure 170. At this time, the clamping block 360 located on the mounting seat 300 can be inserted into the clamping groove 160 located on the inner folding structure 170, so that the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100 are fixed.

[0147] In some possible embodiments, the door body 20 can be provided with a handle groove 150 (refer to FIG. 9). The user can pull or push the door body 20 relative to the cabinet 10 to rotate, thereby improving the convenience of the opening and closing process of the door body 20.

[0148] For example, in the lower door shell 100 of the plurality of door shells 100, the handle groove 150 can be arranged on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The handle groove 150 can be recessed downward, and the extension direction of the handle groove 150 is arranged in parallel with the extension direction of the upper wall 130 or the extension direction of the lower wall.

[0149] The handle groove 150 can be arranged on the lower wall of the door shell 100. The handle groove 150 can be concave upward, and the extension direction of the handle groove 150 is parallel to the extension direction of the upper wall 130 or the extension direction of the lower wall.

[0150] Alternatively, the handle groove 150 can also be arranged on the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. For example, the rotation shaft of the door body 20 is arranged on the left side of the door shell 100, and the handle groove 150 can be arranged on the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the right side. Alternatively, the rotation shaft of the door body 20 is arranged on the right side of the door shell 100, and the handle groove 150 can be arranged on the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 facing the left side.

[0151] Next, the mounting mode between the mounting seat 300 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the door shell 100 is described by taking the door shell 100 located at the lower side of the plurality of door shells 100 as an example.

[0152] In some possible embodiments, the handle groove 150 can be arranged on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0153] For example, the handle groove 150 can be independently arranged. For example, the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be provided with a handle structure, and the handle structure can form the handle groove 150. The handle structure can be fixed to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 by means of clamping or bolt connection, etc. At least part of the handle structure is located in the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, and the part of the handle structure located in the cavity 30 can extend downward.

[0154] By adopting the above technical solution, the independently arranged handle structure can improve the convenience of the processing process of the handle structure, and increase the diversity of the arrangement mode of the handle structure. The handle structure can be adjusted according to the actual use needs of the user. When the assembly process of the door body 20 is performed, the handle structure can be mounted on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, so that at least part of the handle structure is located in the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, to realize the mounting process of the handle structure.

[0155] Then, the mounting seat 300 can be moved from bottom to top to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can be in contact with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can also be in contact with the handle structure located in the cavity 30, so that the handle structure can limit the sliding of the mounting seat 300, reduce the possibility of movement of the mounting seat 300 relative to the door shell 100, and improve the stability of the connection between the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100.

[0156] In some embodiments, the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be recessed towards the lower side to form a handle groove 150. The inner wall of the handle groove 150 can be formed with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 by a one-bending process to improve the convenience of the forming process of the handle groove 150 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and to improve the stability of the structure of the handle groove 150 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0157] In this way, when the mounting seat 300 moves upwards to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can be in contact with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can also be in contact with the inner wall of the handle groove 150 located in the cavity 30, so that the sliding of the mounting seat 300 can be limited by the inner wall of the handle groove 150, reducing the possibility of movement of the mounting seat 300 relative to the door shell 100, and improving the stability of the connection between the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100.

[0158] It should be noted that the structure of the handle groove 150 can be used to indicate a part that can be used to place a user's finger. For example, the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be provided with a protruding structure, which can be provided protruding upwards.

[0159] In some embodiments, in the third direction, the thickness of the protruding structure can be less than the thickness of the door body 20. Alternatively, the surface of the protruding structure towards the rear side of the door body 20 can be at a distance from the rear side of the door body 20.

[0160] When it is necessary to pull or push the door body 20 to rotate around the cabinet 10 through the handle groove 150, the surface of the protruding structure towards the rear side can be pressed by a finger, so that the finger can pull the protruding structure to drive the door body 20 to rotate. The surface of the protruding structure towards the rear side can form the handle groove 150 together with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, that is, the rear side of the protruding structure can form a side wall of the handle groove 150.

[0161] That is, the structure and shape of the handle groove 150 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and the handle groove 150 can also be formed by cooperating with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the protruding structure and the like. The groove bottom surface of the handle groove 150 can be provided as a part of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 which is recessed on the upper top surface of the door shell 100, or the groove bottom surface of the handle groove 150 can also be formed by the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the present disclosure does not make further limitations thereon, as long as at least one of the following conditions is met: the handle groove 150 is used for the rotation of the door body 20, or the handle groove 150 is used for the limiting of the mounting seat 300.

[0162] In some possible implementation manners, the bottom surface of the handle groove 150 can be provided with a fixing member 151. The upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be fixed relative to the mounting seat 300 through the fixing member 151, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300, reduce the possibility of movement of the mounting seat 300 relative to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and improve the convenience of fixing the mounting seat 300 to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0163] In some embodiments, the fixing member 151 can be a fixing bolt. The head of the fixing bolt is in abutment with the bottom surface of the handle groove 150. The threaded segment of the fixing bolt passes through the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the threaded segment of the fixing bolt is screwed to the mounting seat 300. In this way, the mounting seat 300 can be fixedly connected to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the fixing bolt.

[0164] In addition, the head of the fixing bolt is in abutment with the bottom surface of the handle groove 150, which can reduce the possibility of the fixing bolt being exposed outside the refrigerator 1000, and further improve the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator 1000.

[0165] During the installation of the mounting seat 300, the mounting seat 300 can slide in the vertical direction along the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the mounting seat 300 can move from bottom to top to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The upper top surface of the mounting seat 300 can be in contact with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, then the fixing bolt can be arranged in the opening of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the fixing bolt is screwed to the mounting seat 300, and the head of the fixing bolt is in abutment with the bottom surface of the handle groove 150, so as to realize the fixing of the mounting seat 300 to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0166] In some embodiments, the fixing member 151 can be a connecting clamping block, and the mounting seat 300 can be correspondingly provided with a connecting clamping groove, which can be used in cooperation with the connecting clamping block. The upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300 can be fixedly connected through the cooperating connecting clamping block and connecting clamping groove, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300, and improve the convenience of the connection between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300.

[0167] It should be noted that, in the case that the mounting seat 300 is used for mounting the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 of the door body 20, the mounting seat 300 can be fixed with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 of the door body 20. In addition, the mounting seat 300 can also be fixed with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the fixing member 151 located inside the handle slot 150. In this way, the fixing member 151 is arranged inside the handle slot 150, and the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 is usually arranged outside the handle slot 150, so that the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 and the fixing member 151 are arranged along the thickness direction of the door body 20, thereby enabling the mounting seat 300 to be fixed with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through multiple different positions, and further improving the stability of the mounting of the mounting seat 300.

[0168] In the case that the mounting seat 300 is not used for mounting the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 of the door body 20, the mounting seat 300 can be fixed with the mounting seat 300 through the fixing member 151 located inside the handle slot 150, that is, the mounting seat 300 is connected with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the fixing member 151. At this time, the fixing member 151 is located inside the handle slot 150, so that the fixing member 151 is not easily exposed to the outside of the refrigerator 1000, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator 1000.

[0169] Taking the door shell 100 located at the lower side of the multiple door shells 100 as an example, the contact relationship between the mounting seat 300 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the door shell 100 is described, in the case that the refrigerator 1000 is set as a cross-door refrigerator.

[0170] In some possible embodiments, when the mounting seat 300 is fixed with the door shell 100, the top surface of the mounting seat 300 is attached to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and at least part of the side surface of the mounting seat 300 can be attached to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0171] In this way, the mounting seat 300 can support the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 being concave or bent, and further reducing the possibility of the door shell 100 being deformed.

[0172] In addition, when the foaming material is filled between the door shell 100 and the cavity 30 formed by the inner container 200, the mounting seat 300 can shield the gap 140 of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the foaming material flowing out of the gap 140 of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and further ensuring the forming effect of the foaming material and reducing the possibility of the foaming material extruding the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 during the expansion and solidification process.

[0173] It is easy to understand that, in the related art, when the foaming material flows out from the gap 140 between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the foaming material extrudes the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 are deformed, and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 are prone to be warped, etc., thereby increasing the gap 140 between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and affecting the sealing performance of the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200.

[0174] In some embodiments, the door body 20 can be provided with a handle slot 150. In the third direction, the handle slot 150 can be located in the middle of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. A part of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be located on the front side of the handle slot 150, and another part of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be located on the rear side of the handle slot 150.

[0175] One end of the handle slot 150 towards the front side of the refrigerator 1000 is spaced apart from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, and a first part of the cavity is formed between the inner wall of the handle slot 150 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100. The other end of the handle slot 150 towards the rear side of the refrigerator 1000 is spaced apart from the rear wall of the door shell 100, and a second part of the cavity is formed between the inner wall of the handle slot 150 and the rear wall of the door shell 100.

[0176] The mounting seat 300 is fixed relative to the door shell 100. The mounting seat 300 can include a first part, and the first part of the mounting seat 300 can be located in the first part of the cavity. The mounting seat 300 can also include a second part, and the second part of the mounting seat 300 can be in contact with the bottom surface of the handle slot 150. The mounting seat 300 can also include a third part, and the third part of the mounting seat 300 can be located in the second part of the cavity. The mounting seat 300 is in contact with the inner wall of the handle slot 150, so that the movement of the mounting seat 300 in the third direction through the handle slot 150 can be limited.

[0177] In addition, since the first part of the mounting seat 300 can be located in the first part of the cavity, the mounting seat 300 can support the first part of the cavity, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the first part of the cavity. Since the third part of the mounting seat 300 can be located in the second part of the cavity, the mounting seat 300 can support the second part of the cavity, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the second part of the cavity.

[0178] When the foaming material is filled between the door shell 100 and the cavity 30 formed by the inner container 200, the mounting seat 300 can support and fix the inner wall of the handle groove 150, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the inner wall of the handle groove 150 caused by extrusion of the foaming material, and improving the stability of the structure of the handle groove 150.

[0179] In some embodiments, the mounting seat 300 can be provided with a reinforcing structure 380 (see FIG. 7). The reinforcing structure 380 can be arranged on the side of the mounting seat 300 away from the door shell 100, so as to improve the stability of the mounting structure by the reinforcing structure 380 and reduce the possibility of deformation of the mounting seat 300.

[0180] The number of reinforcing structures 380 can be multiple. The multiple reinforcing structures 380 can be arranged in sequence along the second direction. It is easy to understand that the multiple reinforcing structures 380 can support the overall structure of the mounting seat 300, and the arrangement of the reinforcing structures 380 can reduce the possibility of shrinkage of the mounting seat 300.

[0181] When the foaming material is filled between the door shell 100 and the cavity 30 formed by the inner container 200, the reinforcing structure 380 can be in full contact with the foaming material. By arranging multiple reinforcing structures 380, the contact area between the mounting seat 300 and the foaming material is increased, the adhesion between the mounting seat 300 and the foaming material is improved, the possibility of separation between the mounting seat 300 and the foaming material is reduced, and the stability of the mounting of the mounting seat 300 is improved.

[0182] In some possible embodiments, the mounting seat 300 can include a first mounting structure facing the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 or the lower wall of the door shell 100. The first mounting structure can be used at least for mounting the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180.

[0183] In the first mounting seat 301 and the second mounting seat, the first mounting structure can abut the lower surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. In the third mounting seat and the fourth mounting seat, the first mounting structure can abut the upper surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100.

[0184] The shape of the first mounting structure can be shaped according to the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100, so as to increase the contact area between the mounting seat 300 and the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100 by the first mounting structure, and improve the stability of the mounting of the mounting seat 300.

[0185] The upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be provided with a handle slot 150, and the first mounting structure can have the same shape as the handle slot 150, so that the first mounting structure can be tightly fitted with the inner wall of the handle slot 150, thereby playing a limiting role through the matched first mounting structure and the inner wall of the handle slot 150, and reducing the possibility of movement of the first mounting structure.

[0186] In some embodiments, the mounting seat 300 can further include a second mounting structure facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The second mounting structure is fixedly connected with the first mounting structure to improve the stability of the structure of the mounting seat 300. The second mounting structure can be used to fix the decorative plate 400, and the second mounting structure can be fixed with the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 by foaming material.

[0187] In some possible implementations, the mounting seat 300 can fix the inner container 200 to improve the diversity of functions of the mounting seat 300. In this way, the inner container 200 can not only be fixed with the door shell 100, but also be fixed with the mounting seat 300, which can improve the stability of the installation of the inner container 200 and reduce the possibility of disengagement of the inner container 200 from the door shell 100.

[0188] In some embodiments, the inner container 200 is provided with a sliding block 210 (see FIG. 13) facing the surface of the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, and the mounting seat 300 is correspondingly provided with a sliding groove 370 (see FIG. 8), and the sliding block 210 and the sliding groove 370 can be used in cooperation.

[0189] The sliding groove 370 can extend in a vertical direction. A first end of the sliding groove 370 can be located at the top of the mounting seat 300, and a second end of the sliding groove 370 can be located below the first end of the sliding groove 370. The second end of the sliding groove 370 can be used to abut against the sliding block 210, so that the sliding block 210 can slide in the sliding groove 370 in a vertical direction. The inner container 200 can be fixedly connected with the mounting seat 300 through the matched sliding block 210 and sliding groove 370, so as to realize the positioning and fixing of the inner container 200 through the mounting seat 300.

[0190] After the mounting seat 300 is fixedly connected with the door shell 100, the inner container 200 can be installed at the rear side of the door shell 100, so that the sliding block 210 of the inner container 200 can slide in the sliding groove 370 of the mounting seat 300 in a vertical direction, so that the sliding block 210 can slide from the first end of the sliding groove 370 to the second end of the sliding groove 370, thereby limiting the movement of the inner container 200 relative to the mounting seat 300 in the second direction through the matched sliding block 210 and sliding groove 370, and improving the stability of the installation process of the inner container 200.

[0191] In some embodiments, the mounting base 300 can be provided with a guide slot 371 (see FIG. 8) that can be in communication with the first end of the sliding slot 370. The guide slot 371 can be used for the sliding process of the sliding block 210, so that the sliding block 210 is easily slid into the sliding slot 370, thereby improving the convenience of the installation of the inner liner 200.

[0192] The guide slot 371 can extend in a vertical direction and is located above the sliding slot 370. The top end of the guide slot 371 is located at the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the bottom end of the guide slot 371 is in communication with the first end of the sliding slot 370, so that the sliding block 210 can slide through the top end of the guide slot 371 towards the bottom end of the guide slot 371 and then slide through the bottom end of the guide slot 371 into the sliding slot 370.

[0193] In some embodiments, the opening size of the top end of the guide slot 371 is greater than the opening size of the bottom end of the guide slot 371. In this way, the convenience of the process of sliding the sliding block 210 from the guide slot 371 into the sliding slot 370 is improved. In a plane perpendicular to the first direction, the cross-sectional area of the guide slot 371 gradually decreases from the top end of the guide slot 371 to the bottom end of the guide slot 371. In this way, the convenience of the process of sliding the sliding block 210 from the guide slot 371 into the sliding slot 370 is further improved.

[0194] By adopting the above technical solution, after the mounting base 300 is fixedly connected with the door shell 100, the inner liner 200 can be installed at the rear side of the door shell 100. The sliding block 210 of the inner liner 200 can slide from the top end of the guide slot 371 towards the bottom end of the guide slot 371, so that the sliding block 210 can slide from the bottom end of the guide slot 371 into the sliding slot 370. In this way, the smoothness of the process of the sliding block 210 entering the sliding slot 370 is improved, and the installation difficulty of the inner liner 200 is reduced.

[0195] Referring to FIGS. 11-17, in some possible implementations, the decorative plate 400 can include a press-fit piece 420 (see FIG. 12). The press-fit piece 420 can block the gap 140. The press-fit piece 420 is in abutment with the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100, and the press-fit piece 420 is in abutment with the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The decorative plate 400 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can block the gap 140 between the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 by the press-fit piece 420, and the decorative plate 400 close to the lower wall of the door shell 100 can block the gap 140 between the lower wall and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 by the press-fit piece 420.

[0196] In some embodiments, the decorative plate 400 can further include a plug-in piece 410 (refer to FIG. 12). A first end of the plug-in piece 410 is fixedly connected with the crimping piece 420, and a second end of the plug-in piece 410 can extend into the cavity 30 through the gap 140. The plug-in piece 410 is detachably connected with the mounting seat 300, so that the decorative plate 400 can be fixedly connected with the door shell 100 through the plug-in piece 410, and the convenience of the installation process of the decorative plate 400 is improved.

[0197] By adopting the technical scheme, when the decorative plate 400 is fixedly connected with the door shell 100 through the mounting seat 300, the plug-in piece 410 of the decorative plate 400 can be arranged in the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200 through the gap 140, so that the plug-in piece 410 can be fixedly connected with the mounting seat 300, and the decorative plate 400 can be fixedly connected with the door shell 100 through the plug-in piece 410. In addition, when the decorative plate 400 is fixedly connected with the door shell 100 through the mounting seat 300, the crimping piece 420 of the decorative plate 400 can be located outside the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200. The crimping piece 420 can be used to shield the gap 140 between the side wall 120 and the upper wall 130 and the side wall 120 and the lower wall.

[0198] It can be understood that when the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100 are warped or the like, the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 are exposed. By arranging the decorative plate 400 on the door shell 100, the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 can be shielded by the crimping piece 420 of the decorative plate 400, so that the possibility of the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 being exposed is reduced, and the possibility of the door shell 100 scratching the user's hand is reduced, and the reliability of the refrigerator 1000 is improved.

[0199] In addition, compared with the related art, the refrigerator 1000 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure can first fix the mounting seat 300 with the door shell 100, and then fix the plug-in piece 410 of the decorative plate 400 with the door shell 100 through the mounting seat 300, and the crimping piece 420 of the decorative plate 400 can be located outside the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, so that the possibility of the decorative plate 400 being misaligned or protruding and the like can be reduced, and the possibility of the foaming material directly contacting the decorative plate 400 can be reduced, the convenience of the reinstallation process of the decorative plate 400 is improved, and the assembly efficiency of the decorative plate 400 is improved.

[0200] In the case where the door shell 100 has the first gap 141, the second gap, the third gap, and the fourth gap, the number of the decorative plates 400 can be set to four, and the four decorative plates 400 can include a first decorative plate 401, a second decorative plate, a third decorative plate, and a fourth decorative plate to correspondingly seal and shield the four gaps 140 by the four decorative plates.

[0201] It is easily understood that, in the first decorative plate 401 and the second decorative plate, the crimping piece 420 can be arranged above the inserting piece 410. When the decorative plate 400 is fixed relative to the mounting seat 300, the decorative plate 400 can be inserted into the gap 140 formed by the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 in the vertical direction, so that the inserting piece 410 of the decorative plate 400 can be inserted into the gap 140 and fixed relative to the mounting seat 300.

[0202] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 19, the crimping piece 420 of the decorative plate 400 is above the corresponding gap 140, and the bottom of the crimping piece 420 can be used to contact the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 being warped or the like. The side of the crimping piece 420 can be used to contact the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 being warped or the like.

[0203] Alternatively, referring to FIG. 22, the crimping piece 420 of the decorative plate 400 is above the corresponding gap 140, and the bottom of the crimping piece 420 can be used to contact the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 being warped or the like. The bottom of the crimping piece 420 can be used to contact the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 being warped or the like.

[0204] In the third decorative plate and the fourth decorative plate, the crimping piece 420 can be arranged below the inserting piece 410. When the decorative plate 400 is fixed relative to the mounting seat 300, the decorative plate 400 can be inserted into the gap 140 formed by the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 in the vertical direction, so that the inserting piece 410 of the decorative plate 400 can be inserted into the gap 140 and fixed relative to the mounting seat 300.

[0205] In some embodiments, the crimping piece 420 of the decorative plate 400 is below the corresponding gap 140, and the top of the crimping piece 420 can be used to contact the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 being warped or the like. The side of the crimping piece 420 can be used to contact the lower wall of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the lower wall of the door shell 100 being warped or the like.

[0206] Alternatively, the crimping piece 420 of the decorative plate 400 is located below the corresponding gap 140, and the top of the crimping piece 420 can be used to contact the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 being warped or the like. The top of the crimping piece 420 can be used to contact the lower wall of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the lower wall of the door shell 100 being warped or the like.

[0207] In the following, the refrigerator 1000 is set as a cross-door refrigerator, and the door shell 100 located at the lower side of the plurality of door shells 100 is taken as an example to describe the mounting manner between the decorative plate 400 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300.

[0208] In some possible embodiments, the mounting seat 300 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 are formed with a plug-in groove 310. The plug-in groove 310 is used at least to accommodate the decorative plate 400, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300.

[0209] For example, in the first gap 141 formed by the left side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the first decorative plate 401 can be used at least to block and shield the first gap 141. The plug-in piece 410 of the first decorative plate 401 is inserted into the plug-in groove 310 formed by the first mounting seat 301 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the first decorative plate 401 can be fixedly connected with the door shell 100 through the first mounting seat 301.

[0210] In some embodiments, the mounting seat 300 can be provided with a recess structure, which can be directed towards the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. When the mounting seat 300 is relatively fixed with the door shell 100, the recess structure can form the plug-in groove 310 with the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0211] The plug-in groove 310 has an opening, which can be arranged in the gap 140 between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and communicate with the gap 140. The plug-in piece 410 of the decorative plate 400 can be inserted into the plug-in groove 310 through the opening. The first surface of the plug-in piece 410 can be directed towards the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the second surface of the plug-in piece 410 can be directed towards the recess structure, so that the plug-in piece 410 can be fixed through the matched recess structure and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. In this way, the stability of the mounting of the plug-in piece 410 is improved, and the possibility of the decorative plate 400 being separated from the door shell 100 is reduced.

[0212] It should be noted that in the related art, when the foaming material is filled into the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, the foaming material will be in contact with the first part of the decorative plate 400. During the expansion and solidification of the foaming material, the foaming material will push and extrude the decorative plate 400, so that the decorative plate 400 is misaligned or protrudes, and the gap 140 between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 is exposed or even increased, thereby affecting the heat preservation effect of the door body 20.

[0213] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the mounting seat 300 is formed with a plug-in groove 310 with the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The decorative plate 400 can be plugged into the plug-in groove 310, so that the mounting seat 300 can block the foaming material, thereby reducing the possibility of the decorative plate 400 being in direct contact with the foaming material, and reducing the possibility of the decorative plate 400 being misaligned or protruding.

[0214] In addition, when the decorative plate 400 is misaligned or protrudes, the plug-in part 410 of the decorative plate 400 can be pulled out of the plug-in groove 310 between the mounting seat 300 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the decorative plate 400 can be separated from the mounting groove 390, thereby improving the convenience of the disassembly process of the decorative plate 400 and the convenience of the reinstallation process of the decorative plate 400, and improving the assembly efficiency of the decorative plate 400.

[0215] In some possible embodiments, the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200 can be at least used to fill the foaming material, so that the cavity 30 is filled with the foaming material, thereby the foaming material can be used to fix the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, and the foaming material can be used to improve the heat preservation effect of the door body 20.

[0216] In some embodiments, the mounting seat 300 can be provided with a blocking part 320 (see FIG. 11). The first surface of the blocking part 320 can face the decorative plate 400, and the second surface of the blocking part 320 can face the foaming material. The blocking part 320 is at least used to isolate the decorative plate 400 and the foaming material, thereby reducing the possibility of the decorative plate 400 being in contact with the foaming material, so that the plug-in part 410 of the decorative plate 400 can be easily taken out of the plug-in groove 310.

[0217] The blocking part 320 can be integrally formed with the mounting seat 300, so as to improve the convenience of the forming process of the blocking part 320. In addition, the blocking part 320 can be reused to support the mounting seat 300, thereby reducing the possibility of the mounting seat 300 being shrinked or deformed during injection molding, and improving the stability of the structure of the mounting seat 300.

[0218] When the foaming material is filled into the cavity 30 formed by the door shell 100 and the inner liner 200, the mounting seat 300 is extruded by the foaming material during the expansion and solidification process, so that the mounting seat 300 is prone to deformation under the extrusion of the foaming material. By providing the blocking piece 320 on the mounting seat 300, the blocking piece 320 can be reused as a reinforcing rib of the mounting seat 300, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the mounting seat 300.

[0219] The blocking piece 320 can be used to form the insertion slot 310. The surface of the blocking piece 320 facing the gap 140 can be provided as a first surface, and the first surface of the blocking piece 320 facing the gap 140 can form an inner wall of the insertion slot 310. In this way, the blocking piece 320 can limit the insertion piece 410, thereby reducing the possibility of movement of the insertion piece 410 in the blocking piece 320.

[0220] The shape of the blocking piece 320 can be adjusted according to the shape of the insertion piece 410. The surface of the blocking piece 320 away from the mounting seat 300 can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the foaming material flowing from between the blocking piece 320 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to the insertion slot 310, and reducing the possibility of the foaming material contacting the insertion piece 410.

[0221] The number of blocking pieces 320 can be one. Alternatively, the number of blocking pieces 320 can be multiple, and the multiple blocking pieces 320 can be sequentially provided, thereby reducing the possibility of the foaming material flowing into the insertion slot 310 through the multiple blocking pieces 320.

[0222] In some embodiments, the number of blocking pieces 320 can be two. The two blocking pieces 320 can be sequentially and spacedly provided, and a gap can be provided between the two blocking pieces 320 to accommodate part of the foaming material.

[0223] For example, referring to FIG. 16, the two blocking pieces 320 can include a first blocking piece 320a and a second blocking piece 320b. When the insertion piece 410 of the decorative plate 400 is provided in the insertion slot 310, the first blocking piece 320a is closer to the insertion piece 410 than the second blocking piece 320b, and the second blocking piece 320b is farther away from the insertion piece 410 than the first blocking piece 320a. The first blocking piece 320a and the second blocking piece 320b are spacedly provided, and an accommodation gap 321 is provided between the first blocking piece 320a and the second blocking piece 320b.

[0224] It is easy to understand that when the foaming material is filled into the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, the first blocking piece 320a and the second blocking piece 320b can block the foaming material, and the surface of the second blocking piece 320b away from the mounting seat 300 can be first contacted with the foaming material.

[0225] Since there is a gap between the second blocking piece 320b and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the foaming material can enter the containing gap 321 from the gap between the second blocking piece 320b and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The containing gap 321 can contain part of the foaming material, prevent the foaming material from flowing to the first blocking piece 320a, and thus delay the flow speed of the foaming material toward the first blocking piece 320a through the containing gap 321, and reduce the possibility of the foaming material flowing to the first blocking piece 320a.

[0226] It is easy to understand that since the surface of the first blocking piece 320a away from the mounting seat 300 and the surface of the second blocking piece 320b away from the mounting seat 300 are generally located in the same plane, when there is a gap between the second blocking piece 320b and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, there is generally a gap between the first blocking piece 320a and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0227] If the containing gap 321 is not provided between the first blocking piece 320a and the second blocking piece 320b, the foaming material can flow from the gap between the second blocking piece 320b and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 toward the first blocking piece 320a. At this time, the foaming material can flow from the gap between the first blocking piece 320a and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 into the plug-in slot 310, so that the plug-in piece 410 is fixed with the foaming material, and the disassembly process of the decorative plate 400 is affected.

[0228] By providing the containing gap 321 between the first blocking piece 320a and the second blocking piece 320b, the containing gap 321 can contain part of the foaming material, thereby reducing the possibility of the foaming material flowing from the gap between the first blocking piece 320a and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 into the plug-in slot 310.

[0229] Next, the connection mode of the mounting seat 300, the decorative plate 400 and the door shell 100 will be described by taking the first mounting seat 301 and the first decorative plate 401 as an example.

[0230] In the vertical direction, the blocking piece 320 can be arranged at the middle of the mounting seat 300. Part of the mounting seat 300 can be located below the blocking piece 320. The surface of the mounting seat 300 toward the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be provided with a mounting gap 350.

[0231] The blocking piece 320 can be arranged in the mounting gap 350. The blocking piece 320 can divide the mounting gap 350 into a first part and a second part, the first part of the mounting gap 350 is located above the blocking piece 320 (i.e., close to one side of the upper wall 130), and the first part of the mounting gap 350 can form the insertion slot 310.

[0232] The second part of the mounting gap 350 can be located below the blocking piece 320 (i.e., away from one side of the upper wall 130), and the second part of the mounting gap 350 can be used to accommodate part of the foaming material to improve the stability of the connection between the mounting seat 300 and the door shell 100.

[0233] It is easy to understand that when the foaming material is filled into the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, the foaming material can flow to the second part of the mounting gap 350. The foaming material located in the second part of the mounting gap 350 can be in contact with the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the foaming material located in the second part of the mounting gap 350 can also be in contact with the mounting seat 300. When the foaming material located in the second part of the mounting gap 350 expands and solidifies, the foaming material can play a connecting role on the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300.

[0234] It should be noted that the mounting seat 300 can also be provided with a protrusion, and the protrusion can surround the outside of the mounting gap 350. The surface of the protrusion away from the mounting seat 300 can be used to contact the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the protrusion can surround the closed mounting gap 350.

[0235] In the mounting gap 350, the blocking piece 320 can divide the mounting gap 350 into two independent parts, and the first part of the mounting gap 350 is located above the second part of the mounting gap 350.

[0236] The upper surface of the blocking piece 320 and the protrusion can jointly surround the first part of the mounting gap 350, and the first part of the mounting gap 350 forms the insertion slot 310. The first part of the mounting gap 350 has an upper opening, and the upper opening of the first part of the mounting gap 350 can be in communication with the gap 140 between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the insertion piece 410 of the decorative plate 400 can be inserted into the first part of the mounting gap 350 through the upper opening of the first part of the mounting gap 350.

[0237] The lower surface of the blocking piece 320 and the protrusion can jointly enclose a second part of the mounting gap 350, the second part of the mounting gap 350 having a lower opening, the lower opening of the mounting gap 350 being in communication with the cavity 30, so that the foaming material in the cavity 30 can flow to the second part of the mounting gap 350 through the lower opening, thereby fixing the mounting seat 300 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 by the foaming material located in the second part of the mounting gap 350.

[0238] In some possible embodiments, the mounting seat 300 can include a first mounting structure facing the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100. The mounting seat 300 can further include a second mounting structure facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The second mounting structure is fixedly connected with the first mounting structure, and the mounting gap 350 is formed between the second mounting structure and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0239] The side of the second mounting structure away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the side of the first mounting structure away from the upper wall 130 or the lower wall of the door shell 100 can be used to enclose the cavity 30. The side of the second mounting structure away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the side of the first mounting structure away from the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be used to fill the foaming material, so as to improve the stability of the installation of the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure.

[0240] In some embodiments, the second mounting structure can be provided with a flow guide opening 340 (refer to FIG. 11). A first end of the flow guide opening 340 is in communication with the side of the second mounting structure away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and a second end of the flow guide opening 340 is in communication with the second part of the mounting gap 350.

[0241] The foaming material can flow from the side of the second mounting structure away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to the second part of the mounting gap 350 through the flow guide opening 340, so as to improve the filling ratio of the foaming material in the second part of the mounting gap 350.

[0242] When filling the foaming material into the cavity 30 enclosed by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, the foaming material located in the cavity 30 can flow to the second part of the mounting gap 350 through the lower opening, and the foaming material located in the cavity 30 can also flow to the second part of the mounting gap 350 through the flow guide opening 340 of the second mounting structure, so as to facilitate the foaming material in the cavity 30 to flow into the second part of the mounting gap 350.

[0243] It is easy to understand that the second mounting structure can be provided with a flow guide opening 340. The lower surface of the blocking piece 320 and the protrusion can jointly enclose a second part of the mounting gap 350, and the second part of the mounting gap 350 can be provided as a closed structure, so that the foaming material located in the cavity 30 can flow to the second part of the mounting gap 350 through the flow guide opening 340 of the second mounting structure.

[0244] It should be noted that when the number of blocking pieces 320 is set to be multiple, the multiple blocking pieces 320 can be arranged in sequence. The uppermost blocking piece 320 in the multiple blocking pieces 320 can be used to enclose the first part of the mounting gap 350, and the lowermost blocking piece 320 in the multiple blocking pieces 320 can be used to enclose the second part of the mounting gap 350.

[0245] When the number of blocking pieces 320 is set to be multiple, multiple accommodation gaps 321 can be formed between the multiple blocking pieces 320 and arranged in sequence, and the multiple accommodation gaps 321 are located between the first part of the mounting gap 350 and the second part of the mounting gap 350, so as to improve the blocking effect of the multiple blocking pieces 320 on the foaming material through the multiple accommodation gaps 321.

[0246] In some possible embodiments, the plug-in piece 410 of the decorative plate 400 can be in interference fit with the plug-in slot 310 of the mounting seat 300. Compared with the gap fit of the plug-in piece 410 and the plug-in slot 310, the interference fit of the plug-in piece 410 and the plug-in slot 310 can improve the stability of the connection between the plug-in piece 410 and the plug-in slot 310, and reduce the possibility of disengagement between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300.

[0247] The plug-in piece 410 of the decorative plate 400 can also be matched with the mounting seat 300 through clamping or the like, so that the plug-in piece 410 and the mounting seat 300 are detachably connected. In this way, the convenience of the connection process between the plug-in piece 410 and the mounting seat 300, and the convenience of the disassembly and assembly process of the decorative plate 400 are improved. Compared with the interference fit of the plug-in piece 410 and the plug-in slot 310, the fixation of the decorative plate 400 to the mounting seat 300 through clamping or the like can make the connection between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300 more stable.

[0248] In some embodiments, the plug-in piece 410 can be provided with a fixed clamping block 411 (see FIG. 12), and the mounting seat 300 can be correspondingly provided with a fixed clamping groove. When the plug-in piece 410 is inserted into the plug-in slot 310, the fixed clamping block 411 can be inserted into the fixed clamping groove, so that the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300 can be fixed through the matched fixed clamping block 411 and the fixed clamping groove.

[0249] The fixed clamping groove can be arranged on the second mounting structure. The fixed clamping groove can be arranged in the thickness direction of the second mounting structure, i.e., the fixed clamping groove can be arranged as a through groove. At least part of the fixed clamping block 411 can extend to the side of the second mounting structure away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the fixed clamping block 411 and the fixed clamping groove, and reduce the possibility of the plug-in part 410 being separated from the plug-in groove 310.

[0250] Alternatively, the fixed clamping groove can be arranged on the surface of the second mounting structure facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, i.e., the fixed clamping groove can be arranged as a blind groove. The fixed clamping block 411 is located on the surface of the second mounting structure facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. In this way, the decorative plate 400 can be easily separated from the fixed clamping groove, thereby improving the convenience of the disassembly process of the decorative plate 400.

[0251] For example, in the case that the decorative plate 400 needs to be stably mounted in the plug-in groove 310, and the disassembly requirement of the decorative plate 400 is weak, the fixed clamping groove can be arranged as a through groove, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300.

[0252] In the case that the decorative plate 400 may need to be disassembled and assembled multiple times, for example, in the case that the position of the decorative plate 400 needs to be adjusted according to the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180, the disassembly requirement of the decorative plate 400 is large, and the fixed clamping groove can be arranged as a blind groove, so as to improve the convenience of the disassembly process of the decorative plate 400.

[0253] It should be noted that arranging the fixed clamping groove as a blind groove makes the plug-in groove 310 only be able to communicate with the outside through the gap 140 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the foaming material entering the plug-in groove 310 through the fixed clamping groove, improving the convenience of the disassembly process of the decorative plate 400, and improving the convenience of the re-assembly process of the decorative plate 400.

[0254] It is easy to understand that in other embodiments, the fixed clamping block 411 can be arranged on the second mounting structure of the mounting seat 300, and the fixed clamping groove can be arranged on the plug-in part 410. The fixed clamping block 411 located on the second mounting structure can be arranged in mirror image with the fixed clamping block 411 located on the plug-in part 410, and the fixed clamping groove located on the plug-in part 410 can be arranged in mirror image with the fixed clamping groove located on the second mounting structure. The arrangement of the fixed clamping block 411 and the fixed clamping groove can be referred to the above, and the present disclosure will not be described here.

[0255] In some embodiments, in the first mounting seat 301 and the first decorative plate 401, the plug-in piece 410 can be provided with a fixed clamping block 411, and the mounting seat 300 can be correspondingly provided with a fixed head 330 (see FIG. 11). When the plug-in piece 410 is inserted into the plug-in slot 310, the fixed clamping block 411 can be located below the fixed head 330, and the fixed clamping block 411 can abut the bottom surface of the fixed head 330, so that the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300 can be fixed by the cooperating fixed clamping block 411 and fixed head 330.

[0256] It is easy to understand that when the plug-in piece 410 is inserted into the plug-in slot 310, the plug-in piece 410 can drive the fixed clamping block 411 to move downward along the vertical direction, so that the fixed clamping block 411 can move from above the fixed head 330 towards below the fixed head 330. When the crimping piece 420 contacts the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the fixed clamping block 411 can move to below the fixed head 330, so that the fixed clamping block 411 can abut the fixed head 330, thereby realizing the positioning and fixing of the plug-in piece 410 along the vertical direction by the cooperating fixed head 330 and fixed clamping block 411.

[0257] In some possible embodiments, the fixed clamping block 411 can be arranged on the surface of the plug-in piece 410 away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the end of the fixed clamping block 411 away from the plug-in piece 410 can extend towards the mounting seat 300. The fixed head 330 can be arranged on the surface of the mounting seat 300 towards the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the end of the fixed head 330 away from the mounting seat 300 can extend towards the plug-in piece 410, so that the fixed head 330 can be used in cooperation with the fixed clamping block 411.

[0258] In some embodiments, the fixed clamping block 411 can be arranged as an elastic fixed clamping block 411, so as to improve the convenience of the movement of the fixed clamping block 411 from above the fixed head 330 to below the fixed head 330.

[0259] The plug-in piece 410 can drive the elastic fixed clamping block 411 to move downward along the vertical direction, so that the elastic fixed clamping block 411 can move from above the fixed head 330 towards below the fixed head 330.

[0260] When the elastic fixing block 411 is not in contact with the fixing head 330, at least part of the elastic fixing block 411 can be located directly above the fixing head 330; when the elastic fixing block 411 is in contact with the fixing head 330, the elastic fixing block 411 deforms, and the elastic fixing block 411 shrinks towards the plug-in part 410; when the elastic fixing block 411 moves below the fixing head 330, the elastic fixing block 411 restores the shape, and at least part of the elastic fixing block 411 can be located directly below the fixing head 330, thereby improving the convenience of the connection process of the elastic fixing block 411 and the fixing head 330.

[0261] In some embodiments, the fixing head 330 can be provided as an elastic fixing head 330 to improve the convenience of the movement process of the fixing block 411 from above the fixing head 330 to below the fixing head 330. The plug-in part 410 can drive the fixing block 411 to move downward along the vertical direction, so that the fixing block 411 can move from above the elastic fixing head 330 towards below the elastic fixing head 330.

[0262] When the fixing block 411 is not in contact with the elastic fixing head 330, at least part of the fixing block 411 can be located directly above the elastic fixing head 330; when the fixing block 411 is in contact with the elastic fixing head 330, the elastic fixing head 330 deforms, and the elastic fixing head 330 shrinks away from the plug-in part 410; when the fixing block 411 moves below the elastic fixing head 330, the elastic fixing head 330 restores the shape, and at least part of the fixing block 411 can be located directly below the elastic fixing head 330, thereby improving the convenience of the connection process of the fixing block 411 and the elastic fixing head 330.

[0263] In some embodiments, the fixing block 411 can be provided with a first guide surface. The first guide surface can be provided obliquely, and the first guide surface faces away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The first end of the first guide surface is connected with the plug-in part 410, the second end of the first guide surface extends upward, and the second end of the first guide surface is farther away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 than the first end of the first guide surface.

[0264] When the plug-in part 410 is inserted into the plug-in slot 310, the plug-in part 410 can drive the fixing block 411 to move downward along the vertical direction, and the first end of the first guide surface can first contact the fixing head 330. During the process of gradually inserting the plug-in part 410 downward along the vertical direction into the plug-in slot 310, the first guide surface contacts the fixing head 330, so that the fixing head 330 can push the fixing block 411 to deform towards the plug-in part 410 through the first guide surface.

[0265] When the fixing head 330 gradually contacts the second end of the first guide surface from the first end of the first guide surface, the fixing head 330 can be disengaged from the first guide surface, so that the fixing block 411 can move to the lower side of the fixing head 330. The fixing block 411 abuts against the bottom surface of the fixing head 330, thereby realizing the insertion process of the insertion piece 410.

[0266] In some embodiments, the fixing head 330 can be provided with a second guide surface. The second guide surface can be inclinedly arranged, and the second guide surface faces the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. The first end of the second guide surface is located above the second end of the second guide surface, the second end of the second guide surface extends downward, and the second end of the second guide surface is closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 than the first end of the second guide surface. When the insertion piece 410 is inserted into the insertion slot 310, the insertion piece 410 can drive the fixing block 411 to move downward in the vertical direction, and the fixing block 411 can first contact the first end of the second guide surface. During the process of gradually inserting the insertion piece 410 downward in the vertical direction into the insertion slot 310, the fixing block 411 can move from the first end of the second guide surface to the second end of the second guide surface.

[0267] When the fixing block 411 moves from the first end of the second guide surface to the second end of the second guide surface, the fixing block 411 can be disengaged from the second guide surface, so that the fixing block 411 can move to the lower side of the fixing head 330, and the fixing block 411 abuts against the bottom surface of the fixing head 330, thereby realizing the insertion process of the insertion piece 410.

[0268] In some possible implementations, the door body 20 can be provided with a handle slot 150. In the third direction, the handle slot 150 can be located in the middle of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and a part of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be located on the front side of the handle slot 150, and another part of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be located on the rear side of the handle slot 150.

[0269] One end of the handle slot 150 towards the front side of the refrigerator 1000 is spaced apart from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100, and a first part of the cavity is formed between the inner wall of the handle slot 150 and the front wall 110 of the door shell 100. The other end of the handle slot 150 towards the rear side of the refrigerator 1000 is spaced apart from the rear wall of the door shell 100, and a second part of the cavity is formed between the inner wall of the handle slot 150 and the rear wall of the door shell 100.

[0270] The mounting seat 300 is fixed relative to the door shell 100. The mounting seat 300 can include a first part, and the first part of the mounting seat 300 can be located in the first part of the cavity. The mounting seat 300 can include a second part, and the second part of the mounting seat 300 can be in contact with the slot bottom surface of the handle slot 150. The mounting seat 300 can include a third part, and the third part of the mounting seat 300 can be located in the second part of the cavity.

[0271] In some embodiments, in the third direction, the first portion of the decorative plate 400 can be located at the front side of the handle groove 150 (i.e., the side of the handle groove 150 close to the inner liner of the door shell 100), the second portion of the decorative plate 400 can be located opposite to the handle groove 150, and the third portion of the decorative plate 400 can be located at the rear side of the handle groove 150 (i.e., the side of the handle groove 150 close to the front wall 110 of the door shell 100). In the third direction, the decorative plate 400 can extend from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 to the rear side of the door shell 100, so as to be capable of closing the gap 140 between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the decorative plate 400.

[0272] For example, with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 14, in the third direction, the first portion decorative plate 400a can be located at the front side of the handle groove 150, and the first portion decorative plate 400a can be used to close the gap 140 located at the front side of the handle groove 150. The second portion decorative plate 400b can be located opposite to the handle groove 150, and the second portion decorative plate 400b can be used to close the gap 140 located opposite to the handle groove 150. The third portion decorative plate 400c can be located at the rear side of the handle groove 150, and the third portion decorative plate 400c can be used to close the gap 140 located at the rear side of the handle groove 150.

[0273] In the decorative plate 400, at least two of the first portion decorative plate 400a, the second portion decorative plate 400b and the third portion decorative plate 400c can be integrally arranged, so as to improve the stability of the structure of the decorative plate 400.

[0274] Alternatively, the first portion decorative plate 400a, the second portion decorative plate 400b and the third portion decorative plate 400c can be separately arranged, and the first portion decorative plate 400a, the second portion decorative plate 400b and the third portion decorative plate 400c can be formed by splicing or the like, so as to improve the convenience of the preparation process of each portion of the decorative plate 400.

[0275] It is easy to understand that the number of the fixed clamping blocks 411 can be one, and the fixed clamping blocks 411 can be arranged in one of the first portion decorative plate 400a, the second portion decorative plate 400b and the third portion decorative plate 400c. The fixed clamping groove and the fixed head 330 of the second mounting structure of the mounting seat 300 can be correspondingly arranged as one, so as to improve the convenience of the mounting process of the fixed clamping blocks 411.

[0276] The number of the fixing blocks 411 can be set to be multiple, and the fixing head 330 and the fixing slot of the second mounting structure of the mounting base 300 can be correspondingly set to be one or more, so that the multiple fixing blocks 411 can be fixed to the second mounting structure, thereby enabling the plug-in part 410 to be fixed to the second mounting structure through the multiple fixing blocks 411, and improving the connection stability of the decorative plate 400 and the mounting base 300.

[0277] The installation positions of the fixing blocks 411 can be determined according to the areas of the first part decorative plate 400a, the second part decorative plate 400b and the third part decorative plate 400c. At least one of the fixing blocks 411 can be arranged in the one with the largest area among the first part decorative plate 400a, the second part decorative plate 400b and the third part decorative plate 400c, so as to improve the installation stability of the decorative plate 400 and the mounting base 300.

[0278] For example, if the area of the first part decorative plate 400a is the largest among the first part decorative plate 400a, the second part decorative plate 400b and the third part decorative plate 400c, at least one fixing block 411 can be arranged in the first part decorative plate 400a, and the remaining fixing blocks 411 can be arranged in the second part decorative plate 400b and the third part decorative plate 400c.

[0279] In some embodiments, the number of the fixing blocks 411 can be set to be multiple, and the first part decorative plate 400a, the second part decorative plate 400b and the third part decorative plate 400c are all provided with the fixing blocks 411, and the one with the largest area among the first part decorative plate 400a, the second part decorative plate 400b and the third part decorative plate 400c is provided with the largest number of the fixing blocks 411, so as to improve the installation stability of the decorative plate 400 and the mounting base 300.

[0280] It is easy to understand that, in the case that the bottom heights of the first part of the mounting base 300, the second part of the mounting base 300 and the third part of the mounting base 300 are the same, since the second part of the mounting base 300 is correspondingly arranged with the handle slot 150, the area of the second mounting structure corresponding to the second part of the mounting base 300 is the smallest, and the area of the second mounting structure corresponding to the second part of the mounting base 300 that can be used to connect the decorative plate 400 is also reduced. In this case, the second mounting structure corresponding to the second part of the mounting base 300 is not easy to connect the decorative plate 400.

[0281] In some embodiments, in the first part of the decorative plate 400a, the second part of the decorative plate 400b and the third part of the decorative plate 400c, the fixing clamping block 411 can be arranged in at least one of the first part of the decorative plate 400a and the third part of the decorative plate 400c to increase the installation space of the fixing clamping block 411, and thereby increase the size of the fixing clamping block 411, so that the installation stability of the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300 can be improved by arranging a larger size fixing clamping block 411.

[0282] For example, the number of fixing clamping blocks 411 can be two. One of the two fixing clamping blocks 411 can be arranged in the first part of the decorative plate 400a, and the other of the two fixing clamping blocks 411 can be arranged in the third part of the decorative plate 400c. In this way, the two fixing clamping blocks 411 are arranged in the first part of the decorative plate 400a and the third part of the decorative plate 400c, respectively, which have larger areas in the decorative plate 400, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300.

[0283] In some possible embodiments, in the third direction, the height of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 opposite the handle slot 150 can be the same as the height of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 located in front of the handle slot 150, so as to improve the convenience of the forming process of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and simplify the structure of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0284] In some embodiments, the top ends of the second part of the decorative plate 400b and the third part of the decorative plate 400c can be arranged flush, and the second part of the decorative plate 400b and the third part of the decorative plate 400c can form a square structure, so as to improve the convenience of the forming process of the second part of the decorative plate 400b and the third part of the decorative plate 400c, and increase the stability of the structure of the second part of the decorative plate 400b and the third part of the decorative plate 400c.

[0285] When the plug 410 of the decorative plate 400 is inserted into the plug slot 310, the first part of the decorative plate 400a can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 located at the rear side of the handle slot 150 (i.e., close to the side of the inner container), the second part of the decorative plate 400b can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 opposite the handle slot 150, and the third part of the decorative plate 400c can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 located at the front side of the handle slot 150 (i.e., close to the side of the front wall 110), so that the decorative plate 400 can abut against the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0286] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the handle groove 150 can be provided with a fixing member 151. The upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be fixed relative to the mounting seat 300 through the fixing member 151, so as to improve the connection stability between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300, reduce the possibility of the mounting seat 300 moving relative to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and improve the convenience of fixing the mounting seat 300 to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0287] The fixing member 151 can be provided as a fixing bolt. The head of the fixing bolt abuts against the bottom surface of the handle groove 150, and the threaded segment of the fixing bolt penetrates through the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. The threaded segment of the fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the mounting seat 300, so that the mounting seat 300 can be fixedly connected to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the fixing bolt.

[0288] In some embodiments, the fixing member 151 can be provided as a connecting block, and the mounting seat 300 can be correspondingly provided with a connecting slot which can be used in cooperation with the connecting block. The upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300 can be fixedly connected through the cooperating connecting block and connecting slot, so as to improve the connection stability between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300.

[0289] In some embodiments, the decorative plate 400 can further be provided with a shielding member 440 (see FIGS. 14 and 18). The shielding member 440 can at least be used to shield the fixing member 151 located on the bottom surface of the handle groove 150, so as to improve the appearance of the structure of the door body 20.

[0290] The shielding member 440 can be provided on the outer surface of the second part of the decorative plate 400b away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the shielding member 440 can be provided obliquely. The first end of the shielding member 440 can be connected to the top end of the second part of the decorative plate 400b, and the second end of the shielding member 440 can extend inwardly toward the direction away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0291] The second end of the shielding member 440 can be located below the first end of the shielding member 440. In the second direction, the length of the bottom surface of the shielding member 440 can be greater than the distance between the fixing member 151 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the shielding member 440 can completely cover the fixing member 151, thereby shielding the fixing member 151 through the shielding member 440 and protecting the fixing member 151 through the shielding member 440, reducing the possibility of the fixing member 151 being separated from the mounting seat 300, and thus improving the connection stability between the fixing member 151 and the mounting seat 300.

[0292] In some embodiments, the shielding piece 440 can be integrally arranged with the second portion of the decorative plate 400b to improve the stability of the structure of the decorative plate 400. The bottom surface of the shielding piece 440 can be arranged in a spaced manner with the groove bottom surface of the handle groove 150, or the bottom surface of the shielding piece 440 can also be in contact with the top surface of the fixing piece 151, so that the shielding piece 440 can completely cover the fixing piece 151.

[0293] In some possible implementations, referring to FIGS. 9 and 14, the shielding piece 440 can be provided with a shielding fixing piece 441, and the handle groove 150 can be correspondingly provided with a shielding fixing groove 152.

[0294] The shielding fixing piece 441 can be used in cooperation with the shielding fixing groove 152, and the shielding fixing piece 441 can be correspondingly inserted into the shielding fixing groove 152, so as to fix the shielding piece 440 with the inner wall of the handle groove 150 through the cooperating shielding fixing piece 441 and the shielding fixing groove 152.

[0295] In some embodiments, the shielding fixing groove 152 can be arranged on the groove bottom surface of the handle groove 150. When the decorative plate 400 is fixed to the door shell 100 through the insertion piece 410, the insertion piece 410 is inserted into the insertion groove 310, and the shielding fixing piece 441 is inserted into the shielding fixing groove 152, so that the fixing piece 151 located on the groove bottom surface of the handle groove 150 can be shielded by the shielding piece 440, and the shielding piece 440 can be fixed with the inner wall of the handle groove 150 through the cooperating shielding fixing piece 441 and the shielding fixing groove 152.

[0296] Referring to FIGS. 11-17, in some possible implementations, when the decorative plate 400 is fixed to the door shell 100 through the insertion piece 410, the insertion piece 410 is inserted into the insertion groove 310. The surface of the insertion piece 410 away from the mounting base 300 can be in contact with the door shell 100, so as to improve the stability of the contact between the decorative plate 400 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is separated from the pressing piece 420 of the decorative plate 400, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is warped.

[0297] It should be noted that since the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is usually formed by bending a metal plate through a sheet metal process, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is prone to warping or burr, so that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is prone to deviate towards the outside of the door body 20 or the inside of the door body 20.

[0298] When the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is deflected towards the outer side of the door body 20, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is easily separated from the pressing piece 420 of the decorative plate 400, so that the gap 140 between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the pressing piece 420 of the decorative plate 400 reappears, thereby affecting the sealing of the cavity 30 surrounded by the inner container 200 and the door shell 100, affecting the appearance of the door body 20, and reducing the sealing of the door body 20.

[0299] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the surface of the plug-in piece 410 away from the mounting seat 300 can be attached to the door shell 100, so that the plug-in piece 410 can be closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. When the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is deflected towards the outer side, the distance between the plug-in piece 410 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 becomes smaller, so that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is not easily separated from the pressing piece 420 of the decorative plate 400, thereby improving the sealing effect of the pressing piece 420 of the decorative plate 400 on the gap 140 of the door shell 100, improving the appearance of the door body 20, and improving the sealing of the door body 20.

[0300] In some embodiments, the mounting seat 300 can be provided with a pushing structure. The mounting seat 300 can push the plug-in piece 410 closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the pushing structure. In this way, the plug-in piece 410 can be closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 being separated from the pressing piece 420 of the decorative plate 400.

[0301] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 12, 14 and 17, the plug-in piece 410 can be provided with a pushing piece 412. The pushing piece 412 can be towards the mounting seat 300, one end of the pushing piece 412 towards the mounting seat 300 can be telescopic in the direction of approaching or moving away from the mounting seat 300, and the one end of the pushing piece 412 towards the mounting seat 300 can also abut against the mounting seat 300.

[0302] When the decorative plate 400 is fixed relative to the door shell 100 through the plug-in piece 410, the plug-in piece 410 is inserted into the plug-in slot 310. At this time, the one end of the pushing piece 412 towards the mounting seat 300 can be relatively close to the plug-in piece 410, and the pushing piece 412 as a whole is in a compressed state. The pushing piece 412 in the compressed state can apply a pushing force to the mounting seat 300, so that the mounting seat 300 can apply a reaction force to the plug-in piece 410 through the pushing piece 412, so that the plug-in piece 410 is closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0303] The pusher 412 can be integrally formed with the plug-in part 410 to improve the convenience of the forming process of the pusher 412. The pusher 412 can be provided as a push bar, a first end of the push bar can be connected with the plug-in part 410, a second end of the push bar can be connected with the plug-in part 410, and a middle part of the push bar can be protrusively arranged towards the mounting seat 300. In this way, the middle part of the push bar can abut against the surface of the mounting seat 300 facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the plug-in part 410 can apply a pushing force to the mounting seat 300 through the push bar.

[0304] In some embodiments, the plug-in part 410 can be provided with a relief opening, and the push bar can be arranged in the relief opening, so that the push bar can be integrally formed with the plug-in part 410 by injection molding or the like, thereby improving the convenience of the forming process of the push bar.

[0305] The first end of the push bar and the second end of the push bar can be arranged in a horizontal direction, thereby being capable of increasing the contact area of the push bar with the mounting seat 300, improving the pushing effect of the push bar on the mounting seat 300, and making the stress between the push bar and the mounting seat 300 more uniform.

[0306] In some embodiments, the push bar can include a first connecting bar, a contact bar, and a second connecting bar.

[0307] The first connecting bar is arranged on the inner wall of the relief opening, and an end of the first connecting bar away from the inner wall of the relief opening extends towards the mounting seat 300. The end of the first connecting bar away from the inner wall of the relief opening is connected with the contact bar.

[0308] The contact bar can extend in a vertical direction, and a surface of the contact bar away from the plug-in part 410 abuts against the mounting seat 300. An end of the contact bar away from the first connecting bar is connected with the second connecting bar.

[0309] The second connecting bar is arranged in parallel with the first connecting bar, and an end of the second connecting bar away from the contact bar is connected with the inner wall of the relief opening.

[0310] The first connecting bar and the second connecting bar can be perpendicular to the plane in which the plug-in part 410 is located, thereby being capable of increasing the length of the contact bar and the contact area of the contact bar with the mounting seat 300, thereby improving the pushing effect of the push bar on the mounting seat 300.

[0311] In some possible implementations, the installation positions of the pushers 412 can be determined according to the areas of the first part decorative plate 400a, the second part decorative plate 400b, and the third part decorative plate 400c, and at least one of the pushers 412 can be arranged in the one with the largest area among the first part decorative plate 400a, the second part decorative plate 400b, and the third part decorative plate 400c, so as to improve the pushing effect of the plug-in part 410 on the mounting seat 300.

[0312] In some embodiments, in the first part of the decorative plate 400a, the second part of the decorative plate 400b and the third part of the decorative plate 400c, the fixing block 411 can be provided in at least one of the first part of the decorative plate 400a and the third part of the decorative plate 400c to increase the installation space of the fixing block 411. In this way, the size of the fixing block 411 can be increased, so that the installation stability of the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300 can be improved by providing a larger size fixing block 411.

[0313] For example, the number of fixing blocks 411 can be two, one of the two fixing blocks 411 can be provided in the first part of the decorative plate 400a, and the other of the two fixing blocks 411 can be provided in the third part of the decorative plate 400c, so that the two fixing blocks 411 are respectively provided in the first part of the decorative plate 400a and the third part of the decorative plate 400c which have larger areas in the decorative plate 400, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300.

[0314] The pushing piece 412 can be provided in the second part of the decorative plate 400b. In the third direction, the front side of the pushing piece 412 can be connected to the third part of the decorative plate 400c through the other fixing block 411, and the rear side of the pushing piece 412 can be connected to the first part of the decorative plate 400a through the fixing block 411. In this way, the stability of the process in which the pushing piece 412 pushes the mounting seat 300, and the uniformity of the force between the mounting seat 300 and the plug-in piece 410 can be improved, and the possibility of the fixing block 411 and the mounting seat 300 being separated can be reduced.

[0315] It can be understood that, in the case where the fixing block 411 is provided in the first part of the decorative plate 400a and the pushing piece 412 is also provided in the first part of the decorative plate 400a, when the pushing piece 412 applies a pushing force to the mounting seat 300, the fixing block 411 located in the first part of the decorative plate 400a is easy to be separated from the fixing groove or the fixing head 330, thereby affecting the stability of the connection between the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300.

[0316] In the case where the fixing block 411 is provided in the first part of the decorative plate 400a and the pushing piece 412 is provided in the third part of the decorative plate 400c, when the pushing piece 412 applies a pushing force to the mounting seat 300, the third part of the decorative plate 400c is driven by the pushing piece 412 to move away from the mounting seat 300, and the fixing block 411 located in the first part of the decorative plate 400a is close to the fixing groove or the fixing head 330. In this way, the first part of the decorative plate 400a is relatively close to the mounting seat 300, and the third part of the decorative plate 400c is relatively far away from the mounting seat 300, so that the whole decorative plate 400 is offset, thereby affecting the sealing effect of the decorative plate 400 on the gap 140 of the door shell 100.

[0317] In some embodiments, the top ends of the second decorative plate 400b and the third decorative plate 400c can be arranged flush, and the second decorative plate 400b and the third decorative plate 400c can form a square structure.

[0318] The number of the pushers 412 can be set to be multiple, and the multiple pushers 412 can be arranged at different positions of the decorative plate 400. The multiple pushers 412 can be arranged at the second decorative plate 400b, so that the pushers 412 can be arranged between the fixing blocks 411 in the third direction, thereby improving the uniformity of the force between the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300 and reducing the possibility of the decorative plate 400 being offset.

[0319] It is easy to understand that the number of the fixing blocks 411 can be set to be two, one of the two fixing blocks 411 can be arranged at the first decorative plate 400a, and the other of the two fixing blocks 411 can be arranged at the third decorative plate 400c. The height of the fixing block 411 at the first decorative plate 400a can be higher than the height of the fixing block 411 at the third decorative plate 400c, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300 by arranging the fixing blocks 411 at different heights.

[0320] The number of the pushers 412 can be set to be two, and the two pushers 412 can be arranged at the second decorative plate 400b. The heights of the two pushers 412 can be arranged to be the same. Alternatively, the heights of the two pushers 412 can be arranged to be different, and the two pushers 412 can be arranged in a vertical direction.

[0321] In some embodiments, one of the two pushers 412 can be arranged at the same height as one of the two fixing blocks 411, and the other of the two pushers 412 can be arranged at the same height as the other of the two fixing blocks 411. In this way, multiple force relationships exist between the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300, thereby improving the stability of the cooperation between the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300.

[0322] In some possible implementations, the number of the fixing blocks 411 can be set to be two, and the two fixing blocks 411 can be arranged as a first fixing block 411 and a second fixing block 411.

[0323] The first fixed clamping block 411 can be arranged on the first part of the decorative plate 400a, and the second fixed clamping block 411 can be arranged on the third part of the decorative plate 400c. The height of the first fixed clamping block 411 can be higher than the height of the second fixed clamping block 411. By arranging the first fixed clamping block 411 and the second fixed clamping block 411 at different heights, the stability of the connection between the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300 can be improved.

[0324] The number of the pushing members 412 can be two, and the two pushing members 412 can include a first pushing member 412 and a second pushing member 412, which are arranged on the second part of the decorative plate 400b respectively. The heights of the first pushing member 412 and the second pushing member 412 can be the same.

[0325] Alternatively, the height of the first pushing member 412 and the height of the second pushing member 412 can be different. The first pushing member 412 and the second pushing member 412 can be arranged in a vertical direction, and the first pushing member 412 can be located above the second pushing member 412.

[0326] In some embodiments, the first pushing member 412 can be located at the same height as the first fixed clamping block 411, and the second pushing member 412 can be located at the same height as the second fixed clamping block 411. In this way, multiple force relationships exist between the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300, thereby improving the stability of the cooperation between the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300.

[0327] It should be noted that, compared with arranging the fixed clamping block 411 on the front side or the rear side of the decorative plate 400, by arranging the fixed clamping block 411 on the side of the decorative plate 400 away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the fixed clamping block 411 can cooperate with the pushing member 412, thereby improving the stability of the mounting structure of the plug-in part 410.

[0328] In the second direction, the plug-in part 410 can be fixed with the mounting seat 300 through the fixed clamping block 411, and the plug-in part 410 can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the pushing member 412. The side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can support the plug-in part 410. In this way, in the second direction, the stability of the force relationship between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300 is improved, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300.

[0329] And, the fixing block 411 is arranged on the front side or the rear side of the decorative plate 400, and in the case where the handle slot 150 is arranged on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, the arrangement position of the fixing block 411 is interfered by the handle slot 150, so that the fixing block 411 cannot be arranged on the optimal mounting position in general, and the fixing effect of the fixing block 411 on the decorative plate 400 is poor.

[0330] If the fixing block 411 is arranged on the end of the insertion piece 410 away from the crimping piece 420, the size of the fixing block 411 is small, so that the stability of the connection between the fixing block 411 and the mounting seat 300 is affected, and the decorative plate 400 is easily separated from the mounting seat 300.

[0331] In addition, in the case where the fixing block 411 is arranged on the end of the insertion piece 410 away from the crimping piece 420, in order to increase the size of the fixing block 411, the thickness of the whole insertion piece 410 needs to be increased. In this way, the thickness and the volume of the whole structure of the decorative plate 400 are increased, the structure of the decorative plate 400 is more thick and complex, the assembly process of the decorative plate 400 is affected, and the aesthetic degree of the decorative plate 400 is affected.

[0332] It can be understood that when the decorative plate 400 is arranged on the side of the door body 20 where the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 is located, the thickness and the volume of the decorative plate 400 are large, and the installation position of the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180 is also affected. In this case, the position of the rotating shaft and the shaft sleeve 180 can be adjusted due to the thickness of the decorative plate 400, and the overall layout of the structure of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 is affected.

[0333] Therefore, by arranging the fixing block 411 on the side of the insertion piece 410 away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the thickness of the whole insertion piece 410 and the decorative plate 400 can be reduced on the basis of ensuring the stability of the connection between the insertion piece 410 and the mounting seat 300, the width of the crimping piece 420 of the decorative plate 400 located outside the cavity 30 is reduced, and the aesthetic degree of the whole refrigerator 1000 can be increased.

[0334] Referring to FIGS. 18-22, in some possible embodiments, the insertion piece 410 can be provided with a give-way slot 430 (see FIG. 16). The give-way slot 430 faces the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 in the third direction. The give-way slot 430 can at least be used to accommodate part of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so as to reduce the possibility that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is warped and the hollow drum is formed between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the insertion piece 410.

[0335] In some embodiments, the accommodation groove 430 can be arranged at one end of the insertion piece 410 close to the crimping piece 420, and the bottom surface of the crimping piece 420 can be used to enclose the accommodation groove 430. When the insertion piece 410 of the decorative plate 400 is inserted into the insertion groove 310, the bottom surface of the crimping piece 420 can abut against the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the accommodation groove 430 can be matched with the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0336] It should be noted that since the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is usually formed by bending a metal plate through sheet metal processing, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is prone to edge lifting or burr, and thus the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is prone to deviate towards the outside of the door body 20 or the inside of the door body 20.

[0337] It can be easily understood that in order to increase the contact area between the crimping piece 420 and the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the bottom surface of the insertion piece 410 and the crimping piece 420 is usually arranged vertically, and the bottom surface of the crimping piece 420 is usually arranged horizontally, so that the bottom surface of the crimping piece 420 can stably abut against the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0338] In the case where the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 does not deviate, the top end surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is usually arranged parallel to the horizontal plane, so that the top end surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be closely attached to the bottom surface of the crimping piece 420, thereby the top end surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be shielded by the crimping piece 420, and the exposure of the top end surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be reduced.

[0339] The side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can also be attached to the surface of the insertion piece 410 away from the mounting base 300, thereby improving the stability of the cooperation between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the insertion piece 410, and reducing the possibility that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 deviates from the bottom surface of the crimping piece 420.

[0340] The side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can also be attached to the surface of the blocking piece 320 away from the mounting base 300, so that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can cooperate with the blocking piece 320, thereby preventing the foaming material from flowing between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the blocking piece 320 into the insertion groove 310, and reducing the possibility that the foaming material contacts the insertion piece 410 located in the insertion groove 310.

[0341] In the case that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is offset toward the outer side of the door body 20, the gap 140 between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is increased, thereby affecting the sealing of the cavity 30 enclosed by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200. Moreover, the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be offset to the outside of the bottom surface of the crimping member 420. In this case, the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can not be in contact with the bottom surface of the crimping member 420, so that the crimping member 420 can no longer shield the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the setting of the decorative plate 400 is invalid.

[0342] In the case that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is offset toward the inner side of the door body 20, the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be in contact with the connection between the plug-in member 410 and the crimping member 420. The top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is closer to the plug-in member 410 than the part of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 other than the top end, so that the part of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 other than the top end can be separated from the plug-in member 410 or the mounting seat 300, resulting in the hollowing of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby affecting the stability of the connection between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the decorative plate 400 and the mounting seat 300.

[0343] In some embodiments, in the case that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is offset toward the inner side of the door body 20, the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is in contact with the bottom surface of the crimping member 420, and the part of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 other than the top end is prone to be separated from the plug-in member 410, so that a gap is generated between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the plug-in member 410, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can no longer support the plug-in member 410. In addition, the pushing member 412 provided on the plug-in member 410 can continuously apply the reaction force from the mounting seat 300 to the plug-in member 410, thereby easily causing the deformation of the plug-in member 410.

[0344] In the case that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is offset toward the inner side of the door body 20, the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is in contact with the bottom surface of the crimping member 420, and the part of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 other than the top end is prone to be separated from the surface of the blocking member 320 away from the mounting seat 300, so that a gap is generated between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the blocking member 320. Thus, when the cavity 30 enclosed by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200 is filled with foaming material, the foaming material flows from the gap between the blocking member 320 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to the plug-in groove 310, so that the foaming material can be in contact with the plug-in member 410, thereby affecting the dismounting process of the plug-in member 410.

[0345] It can be understood that, by arranging the accommodation groove 430 on the plug-in part 410, the accommodation groove 430 can at least be used to accommodate the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 being warped, and the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the plug-in part 410 being hollowed.

[0346] In the case that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is offset towards the inner side of the door body 20, the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is in contact with the bottom surface of the press-fit part 420, and the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can extend into the accommodation groove 430, thereby reducing the possibility of a gap being formed between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the plug-in part 410, and enabling the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to abut against the plug-in part 410, thereby supporting the plug-in part 410. In addition, the possibility of a gap being formed between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the blocking part 320 can also be reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of the foaming material flowing from between the blocking part 320 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 to the plug-in groove 310, and reducing the possibility of the foaming material contacting the plug-in part 410.

[0347] In some possible embodiments, the number of accommodation grooves 430 can be one, and the accommodation groove 430 can extend from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 to the back side of the door shell 100, thereby enabling the accommodation groove 430 to accommodate the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0348] The number of accommodation grooves 430 can also be multiple, and the multiple accommodation grooves 430 can be sequentially and equally spaced in the direction from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 to the back side of the door shell 100, thereby enabling the multiple accommodation grooves 430 to accommodate the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 at different positions.

[0349] In some embodiments, the thickness direction of the plug-in part 410 can be parallel to the second direction, and the depth direction of the accommodation groove 430 can be parallel to the second direction, and the depth of the accommodation groove 430 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the plug-in part 410.

[0350] The depth of the accommodation groove 430 can be greater than or equal to 30% of the thickness of the plug-in part 410, and less than or equal to 60% of the thickness of the plug-in part 410. For example, the depth of the accommodation groove 430 can be set to any one of the ranges of 30%-40%, 40%-50%, and 50%-60% of the thickness of the plug-in part 410, thereby ensuring the accommodation effect of the accommodation groove 430 and the stability of the plug-in part 410.

[0351] It is easy to understand that if the depth of the accommodation slot 430 is less than 30% of the thickness of the plug-in piece 410, the depth of the accommodation slot 430 is smaller, and the accommodation slot 430 can accommodate the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 in a smaller range. In the case that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is offset to the inner side of the door body 20 by a larger offset amount, a part of the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be located on the outer side of the accommodation slot 430, so that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be separated from at least one of the plug-in piece 410 and the blocking piece 320, affecting the use effect of the decorative plate 400.

[0352] If the depth of the accommodation slot 430 is greater than 60% of the thickness of the plug-in piece 410, the depth of the accommodation slot 430 is larger, and the thickness of the plug-in piece 410 at the position corresponding to the accommodation slot 430 is smaller. In this way, the plug-in piece 410 is prone to have a local small thickness problem, so that the connection between the crimping piece 420 and the plug-in piece 410 in the decorative plate 400 is prone to bending and the like, affecting the stability of the overall structure of the decorative plate 400.

[0353] The number of the accommodation slots 430 can be set to be multiple, and the multiple accommodation slots 430 can be sequentially and spacedly arranged in the direction from the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 to the rear side of the door shell 100. The structure between the multiple accommodation slots 430 can be used to support the plug-in piece 410, so as to reduce the possibility of bending and the like of the connection between the crimping piece 420 and the plug-in piece 410 in the decorative plate 400, and improve the stability of the decorative plate 400.

[0354] In some embodiments, the depth of the accommodation slot 430 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so as to ensure that the accommodation slot 430 can accommodate the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 with sufficient thickness, thereby improving the accommodation effect of the accommodation slot 430.

[0355] The depth of the accommodation slot 430 can be set to be greater than or equal to the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and less than or equal to 2 times the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. For example, the depth of the accommodation slot 430 can be set to be in any one of the following proportional ranges: 1 time-1.2 times, 1.2 times-1.4 times, 1.4 times-1.6 times, 1.6 times-1.8 times, and 1.8 times-2 times of the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so as to ensure the accommodation effect of the accommodation slot 430 and the stability of the plug-in piece 410.

[0356] It can be understood that if the depth of the accommodation slot 430 is less than the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the depth of the accommodation slot 430 is smaller, and the accommodation slot 430 can accommodate the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 in a smaller range. In the case that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is offset towards the inner side of the door body 20 by a larger offset amount, a part of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be located outside the accommodation slot 430, so that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be separated from at least one of the plug-in part 410 and the blocking part 320, affecting the use effect of the decorative plate 400.

[0357] If the depth of the accommodation slot 430 is greater than twice the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the depth of the accommodation slot 430 is larger, and the thickness of the plug-in part 410 corresponding to the accommodation slot 430 is smaller. In this way, the plug-in part 410 is prone to have a smaller local thickness, so that the connection between the crimping part 420 and the plug-in part 410 in the decorative plate 400 is prone to bending and the like, affecting the stability of the overall structure of the decorative plate 400.

[0358] Therefore, if the depth of the accommodation slot 430 is smaller, the accommodation slot 430 can accommodate the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 in a smaller range, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be separated from at least one of the plug-in part 410 and the blocking part 320, affecting the use effect of the decorative plate 400.

[0359] If the depth of the accommodation slot 430 is larger, the thickness of the plug-in part 410 corresponding to the accommodation slot 430 is smaller, so that the plug-in part 410 is prone to have a smaller local thickness, so that the connection between the crimping part 420 and the plug-in part 410 in the decorative plate 400 is prone to bending and the like.

[0360] Therefore, the minimum value of the depth of the accommodation slot 430 can be determined according to the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the maximum value of the depth of the accommodation slot 430 can be determined according to the thickness of the plug-in part 410.

[0361] In some embodiments, the depth of the accommodation slot 430 can be greater than or equal to the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the depth of the accommodation slot 430 can be less than or equal to 60% of the thickness of the plug-in part 410, so as to ensure the accommodation effect of the accommodation slot 430 and the stability of the plug-in part 410.

[0362] In the case that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is offset towards the inner side of the door body 20, the above-mentioned manner can reduce the possibility that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is located outside the accommodation slot 430, and can ensure the stability of the plug-in part 410 and reduce the possibility that the plug-in part 410 bends and the like.

[0363] In some possible implementation manners, the height of the accommodation slot 430 in the first direction can be greater than or equal to the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the height of the accommodation slot 430 in the first direction can be less than or equal to 3 times the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0364] For example, the height of the accommodation slot 430 in the first direction can be set to be in any one of the following ranges: 1-1.4 times, 1.4-1.8 times, 1.8-2.2 times, 2.2-2.6 times, and 2.6-3 times the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so as to ensure the accommodation effect of the accommodation slot 430 and the stability of the plug-in piece 410.

[0365] It can be easily understood that if the height of the accommodation slot 430 in the first direction is less than the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the height of the accommodation slot 430 in the first direction is smaller. In the case that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is offset to the inner side of the door body 20 by a large offset amount, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can abut against the inner wall of the bottom end of the accommodation slot 430, so that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be separated from at least one of the plug-in piece 410 and the blocking piece 320, and the use effect of the decorative plate 400 is affected.

[0366] If the height of the accommodation slot 430 in the first direction is greater than 3 times the thickness of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the height of the accommodation slot 430 in the first direction is larger. The arrangement of the accommodation slot 430 can affect the arrangement of the fixed clamping block 411 and the pushing piece 412, thereby reducing the arrangement space of the fixed clamping block 411 and the pushing piece 412.

[0367] By adopting the above scheme, the mounting mode between the decorative plate 400 close to the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300 is described below by taking the door shell 100 located at the lower side of the plurality of door shells 100 as an example.

[0368] When the decorative plate 400 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 300 through the plug-in piece 410, the plug-in piece 410 of the decorative plate 400 can be inserted into the gap 140 of the door shell 100 along the vertical direction, so that the plug-in piece 410 can be inserted into the plug-in slot 310, and the fixed clamping block 411 of the plug-in piece 410 can be fixed with the fixed clamping slot or the fixed head 330 of the mounting seat 300, thereby enabling the plug-in piece 410 to be fixed with the mounting seat 300.

[0369] And, the pushing piece 412 of the plug-in piece 410 can be in a compressed state, so that the pushing piece 412 can transmit the reaction force from the mounting base 300 to the plug-in piece 410, so that the surface of the plug-in piece 410 away from the mounting base 300 abuts against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can support the plug-in piece 410, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the decorative plate 400. In addition, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be in contact with the bottom surface of the pressing piece 420, so as to shield the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 by the pressing piece 420.

[0370] The blocking piece 320 located at the mounting base 300 can abut against the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so as to reduce the possibility of the foaming material entering the plug-in slot 310 through the blocking piece 320. In the case that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is offset towards the inner side of the door body 20, the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be located in the accommodation slot 430, so that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can abut against the plug-in piece 410 and the blocking piece 320, thereby reducing the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 being separated from the plug-in piece 410 and the blocking piece 320 to form a gap.

[0371] When the foaming material is filled into the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, the foaming material located in the cavity 30 can flow between the mounting base 300 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the lower opening, and the foaming material located in the cavity 30 can also flow between the mounting base 300 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the flow guide opening 340 of the second mounting structure, so as to further fix the door shell 100 and the mounting base 300 by the foaming material, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the door shell 100 and the mounting base 300, and achieving the preliminary installation process of the decorative plate 400.

[0372] When the decorative plate 400 is misaligned or the like, since the decorative plate 400 will not be in contact with the foaming material, after the decorative plate 400 is fixed to the mounting base 300 by the fixing clamping block 411, the decorative plate 400 can be pulled in the vertical direction, so that the fixing clamping block 411 of the decorative plate 400 is deformed or even damaged, so that the fixing clamping block 411 can be separated from the fixing clamping slot or the fixing head 330 of the mounting base 300, so that the plug-in piece 410 of the decorative plate 400 can be pulled out of the plug-in slot 310, thereby improving the convenience of the disassembly process of the decorative plate 400, and making the reinstallation and fixing process of the decorative plate 400 more convenient.

[0373] In some possible embodiments, the plug-in part 410 of the decorative plate 400 is inserted into the plug-in slot 310. The width of the press-in part 420 of the decorative plate 400 in the second direction can be greater than or equal to the width of the gap 140 of the door shell 100, so that the bottom surface of the press-in part 420 can abut against the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, thereby shielding the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 by the press-in part 420.

[0374] In some embodiments, when the decorative plate 400 is arranged on the side of the door body 20 where the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 is located, the distance between the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be reduced, so as to reduce the possibility that the front wall 110 of the door shell 100 collides with the adjacent cabinet structure.

[0375] In the second direction, the press-in part 420 can be at least partially located outside the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, that is, the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 abuts against the bottom surface of the press-in part 420, and the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is in full contact with the bottom surface of the press-in part 420, so as to ensure the shielding effect of the press-in part 420 on the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and reduce the possibility that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 deviates to the outside of the press-in part 420.

[0376] In this way, in the case that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 deviates to the outside of the door body 20, by arranging the press-in part 420 with a certain amount of excess, the possibility that the top end of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 moves to the outside of the press-in part 420 can be reduced.

[0377] It should be noted that, by arranging the fixed clamping block 411 on the side of the plug-in part 410 away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the stability of the connection between the plug-in part 410 and the mounting seat 300 can be ensured, and the thickness of the plug-in part 410 and the decorative plate 400 as a whole can be reduced. In this way, the thickness of the plug-in part 410 of the decorative plate 400 is reduced, so that the width of the press-in part 420 can be correspondingly reduced, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator 1000 while ensuring the shielding effect of the press-in part 420.

[0378] In the case that the decorative plate 400 is arranged on the side of the door body 20 where the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 is located, the press-in part 420 can be arranged on the side of the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180 facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, so that the press-in part 420 does not affect the arrangement of the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180.

[0379] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft or sleeve 180 is arranged on the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. In the second direction, at least part of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be arranged between the rotating shaft or sleeve 180 and the crimping piece 420, so that the crimping piece 420 does not directly contact the rotating shaft or sleeve 180. The side of the crimping piece 420 facing the rotating shaft or sleeve 180 can contact the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, so that the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 can be connected and fixed by the crimping piece 420, reducing the possibility of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 being warped or the like.

[0380] Referring to FIGS. 18-22, in some possible implementations, when the decorative plate 400 is located between the side wall 120 and the upper wall 130, for example, when the decorative plate 400 is arranged as the first decorative plate 401 or the second decorative plate, the crimping piece 420 can abut the side of the upper wall 130, and the crimping piece 420 can abut the top of the side wall 120, so that the gap 140 between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be sealed by the crimping piece 420.

[0381] In some embodiments, in the first decorative plate 401 and the second decorative plate, the crimping piece 420 can have a first contact surface 422 (see FIG. 19). The first contact surface 422 can be parallel to the vertical direction. In the second direction, the first contact surface 422 can be away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0382] The crimping piece 420 can abut the side of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the first contact surface 422, and the upper top surface of the crimping piece 420 can be arranged flush with the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, so as to improve the smoothness and aesthetics of the connection between the crimping piece 420 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0383] Alternatively, the upper top surface of the crimping piece 420 can be arranged protruding relative to the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. At least part of the first contact surface 422 of the crimping piece 420 can be located above the side of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. When the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 is warped or the like, by arranging the first contact surface 422 with a certain amount of excess, the possibility of the side of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 moving above the first contact surface 422 can be reduced.

[0384] In some embodiments, the crimping piece 420 can have a second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 can be parallel to the horizontal direction. In the second direction, the second contact surface 421 is closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 relative to the first contact surface 422, and the second contact surface 421 can be arranged as the bottom surface of the crimping piece 420.

[0385] The crimping piece 420 can abut against the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 can be flush with the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, or at least part of the second contact surface 421 can be protruding relative to the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. By setting the second contact surface 421 with a partial allowance, the possibility of the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 moving to the outside of the second contact surface 421 can be reduced.

[0386] In some possible embodiments, when the decorative plate 400 is located between the side wall 120 and the lower wall, for example, when the decorative plate 400 is set as the third decorative plate or the fourth decorative plate, the crimping piece 420 can abut against the side surface of the lower wall, and the crimping piece 420 can abut against the bottom surface of the side wall 120, so that the gap 140 between the lower wall of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be blocked by the crimping piece 420.

[0387] In some embodiments, in the third decorative plate and the fourth decorative plate, the crimping piece 420 can have a first contact surface 422. The first contact surface 422 can be parallel to the vertical direction. In the second direction, the first contact surface 422 can be away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0388] The crimping piece 420 can abut against the side surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100 through the first contact surface 422, and the lower bottom surface of the crimping piece 420 can be flush with the lower surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100, so as to improve the smoothness and aesthetics of the connection between the crimping piece 420 and the lower wall of the door shell 100.

[0389] Alternatively, the lower bottom surface of the crimping piece 420 can be protruding relative to the lower surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100. At least part of the first contact surface 422 of the crimping piece 420 can be located below the side surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100. When the lower wall of the door shell 100 is warped or the like, by setting the first contact surface 422 with a partial allowance, the possibility of the side surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100 moving below the first contact surface 422 can be reduced.

[0390] In some embodiments, the crimping piece 420 can have a second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 can be parallel to the horizontal direction. In the second direction, the second contact surface 421 is closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 relative to the first contact surface 422, and the second contact surface 421 can be set as the top surface of the crimping piece 420.

[0391] The compression piece 420 can abut against the bottom surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 can be flush with the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, or at least part of the second contact surface 421 can be protruding relative to the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. By setting the second contact surface 421 with a certain amount of excess, the possibility of the bottom surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 moving to the outside of the second contact surface 421 can be reduced.

[0392] It should be noted that by setting the first contact surface 422 on the compression piece 420, the first contact surface 422 can abut against the side surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 or the lower wall of the door shell 100. The first contact surface 422 can be in close contact with the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 or the lower wall of the door shell 100, so as to reduce the gap 140 between the compression piece 420 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 or the lower wall of the door shell 100, and improve the overall aesthetics of the refrigerator 1000.

[0393] The setting mode of the compression piece 420 is described by taking the first decorative plate 401 as an example. By using the above technical solution, when the decorative plate 400 is installed in the gap 140 between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, the insertion piece 410 of the decorative plate 400 is inserted between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the mounting seat 300 in the vertical direction, so that the compression piece 420 moves in the vertical direction towards the gap between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0394] The compression piece 420 can abut against the side surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the first contact surface 422, and the compression piece 420 can abut against the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the second contact surface 421, so that the compression piece 420 can block the gap 140 formed by the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0395] In some possible embodiments, when the decorative plate 400 is located between the side wall 120 and the upper wall 130, for example, the decorative plate 400 is set as the first decorative plate 401 or the second decorative plate, the compression piece 420 can abut against the side surface of the upper wall 130, and the compression piece 420 can abut against the top surface of the side wall 120, so that the gap 140 between the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be blocked by the compression piece 420.

[0396] In some embodiments, the compression piece 420 can have the first contact surface 422 in the first decorative plate 401 and the second decorative plate. The first contact surface 422 can be parallel to the vertical direction. In the second direction, the first contact surface 422 can be away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0397] The pressure contact piece 420 can abut against the side surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the first contact surface 422, and the upper top surface of the pressure contact piece 420 can be arranged flush with the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, so as to improve the smoothness and aesthetics of the connection between the pressure contact piece 420 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100.

[0398] Alternatively, the upper top surface of the pressure contact piece 420 can be arranged protruding relative to the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. At least part of the first contact surface 422 of the pressure contact piece 420 can be located above the side surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100. When the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 has a situation such as warping, by arranging the first contact surface 422 with a partial allowance, the possibility of the side surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 moving above the first contact surface 422 can be reduced.

[0399] In some embodiments, the pressure contact piece 420 can have a second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 can be parallel to the horizontal direction. In the second direction, the second contact surface 421 is closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 relative to the first contact surface 422, and the second contact surface 421 can be arranged as the bottom surface of the pressure contact piece 420.

[0400] The pressure contact piece 420 can abut against the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 through the second contact surface 421, and the second contact surface 421 can be arranged flush with the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, or at least part of the second contact surface 421 can be arranged protruding relative to the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. By arranging the second contact surface 421 with a partial allowance, the possibility of the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 moving to the outside of the second contact surface 421 can be reduced.

[0401] In some embodiments, the pressure contact piece 420 can have a third contact surface 423 (refer to FIG. 22). The third contact surface 423 can be parallel to the horizontal direction. In the second direction, the third contact surface 423 can be farther away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 relative to the first contact surface 422.

[0402] The third contact surface 423 can be used to contact the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, at least part of the pressure contact piece 420 covers the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100, and the pressure contact piece 420 can abut against the upper surface of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the third contact surface 423, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the pressure contact piece 420 and the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 through the third contact surface 423, and reduce the possibility of the upper wall 130 of the door shell 100 having a situation such as warping.

[0403] In some possible embodiments, when the decorative plate 400 is located between the side wall 120 and the lower wall, for example, when the decorative plate 400 is arranged as the third decorative plate or the fourth decorative plate, the pressure contact piece 420 can abut against the side surface of the lower wall, and the pressure contact piece 420 can abut against the bottom surface of the side wall 120, so as to seal the gap 140 between the lower wall of the door shell 100 and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 by means of the pressure contact piece 420.

[0404] In some embodiments, the pressure contact piece 420 can have a first contact surface 422 in the third decorative plate and the fourth decorative plate. The first contact surface 422 can be parallel to the vertical direction. In the second direction, the first contact surface 422 can be away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100.

[0405] The pressure contact piece 420 can abut against the side surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100 by means of the first contact surface 422, and the lower bottom surface of the pressure contact piece 420 can be arranged flush with the lower surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100, so as to improve the smoothness and aesthetics of the connection between the pressure contact piece 420 and the lower wall of the door shell 100.

[0406] Alternatively, the lower bottom surface of the pressure contact piece 420 can be arranged protruding relative to the lower surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100. At least part of the first contact surface 422 of the pressure contact piece 420 can be located below the side surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100. When the lower wall of the door shell 100 is warped or the like, by arranging the first contact surface 422 with a partial allowance, the possibility that the side surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100 moves below the first contact surface 422 can be reduced.

[0407] In some embodiments, the pressure contact piece 420 can have a second contact surface 421. The second contact surface 421 can be parallel to the horizontal direction, and in the second direction, the second contact surface 421 can be closer to the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 relative to the first contact surface 422, and the second contact surface 421 can be arranged as the top surface of the pressure contact piece 420.

[0408] The pressure contact piece 420 can abut against the bottom surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 by means of the second contact surface 421, and the second contact surface 421 can be arranged flush with the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, or at least part of the second contact surface 421 can be arranged protruding relative to the outer surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100. By arranging the second contact surface 421 with a partial allowance, the possibility that the bottom surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 moves to the outside of the second contact surface 421 can be reduced.

[0409] In some embodiments, the pressure contact piece 420 can have a third contact surface 423. The third contact surface 423 can be parallel to the horizontal direction. In the second direction, the third contact surface 423 can be away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 relative to the first contact surface 422.

[0410] The third contact surface 423 can be used to contact the lower surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100, and at least part of the crimping piece 420 covers the lower surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100. The crimping piece 420 can be in abutment with the lower surface of the lower wall of the door shell 100 through the third contact surface 423, so that the stability of the connection between the crimping piece 420 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 can be improved through the third contact surface 423, and the possibility of the lower wall of the door shell 100 being warped or the like can be reduced.

[0411] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be provided with a flange, and the flange can extend towards the inner side of the door body 20. The bottom surface of the crimping piece 420 can be pressed against the surface of the flange away from the mounting seat 300, so as to reduce the possibility of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 being warped or the like.

[0412] However, in the case where the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 is provided with a flange, since the door shell 100 is formed by bending through sheet metal processing, at least one fillet needs to be formed between the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 and the flange, which also makes the fillet required by the flange need to occupy part of the mounting space required by the decorative plate 400 in the second direction, thereby affecting the width of the decorative plate 400. Therefore, at least the space of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 needs to be reserved on the side of the decorative plate 400 facing the side wall 120 of the door shell 100, and the side of the decorative plate 400 away from the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 needs to be used to set the rotating shaft or the shaft sleeve 180, thereby further reducing the width of the decorative plate 400 and affecting the shielding effect of the decorative plate 400.

[0413] Compared with some comparative modes, the top surface of the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 in some embodiments of the present disclosure can be in abutment with the first contact surface 422 of the crimping piece 420, and the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 can be arranged in parallel with the vertical direction, so that the side wall 120 of the door shell 100 does not need to be provided with a flange, thereby enabling the overall structure of the door shell 100 to be three-dimensional.

[0414] In summary, the refrigerator 1000 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure has the mounting seat 300 arranged in the cavity 30, and the decorative plate 400 is fixed with the door shell 100 through the mounting seat 300. When the decorative plate 400 is relatively fixed with the door shell 100 through the mounting seat 300, the first part of the decorative plate 400 is located in the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, and the first part of the decorative plate 400 can be relatively fixed with the mounting seat 300, so as to relatively fix the decorative plate 400 with the door shell 100.

[0415] When the decorative plate 400 is fixed relative to the door shell 100 through the mounting seat 300, the second part of the decorative plate 400 can be located outside the cavity 30 surrounded by the door shell 100 and the inner container 200, and can be used to shield the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100 and the gap 140 between the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100.

[0416] When the two side walls 120 of the door shell 100 and the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 are warped, the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 are exposed. By providing the decorative plate 400 on the door shell 100, the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100 can be shielded by the decorative plate 400, thereby reducing the possibility of exposure of the edges of the two side walls 120, the upper wall 130 and the lower wall of the door shell 100, and further reducing the possibility of scratching the user's hand by the door shell 100, and improving the reliability of the refrigerator 1000.
