As shown in fig. 5, the supporting frame 42 has a fixing portion 421 fixed to the third slide rail 433, and a bearing portion 422 located above the fixing portion 421. The fixing portion 421 is provided with at least two mounting holes 423 arranged at intervals in front and back for mounting the third slide rail 433; the gear 481 is specifically attached to the rear end of the fixed portion 421. The supporting portion 422 is bent from the fixing portion 421 toward the interior of the compartment 11 and then extends upward to a height exceeding the fixing frame 41, and further bends toward the side wall 111 of the supporting frame 42 to shield the fixing frame 41 below. The bearing portion 422 is further provided with a limiting hole 424 adapted to the drawer box 30, so that when the drawer box 30 is placed downwards and pressed against the surface of the bearing portion 422, the position is more stable. In addition, the bearing portion 422 and the first extending portion 412 are disposed in a clearance, so as to prevent the supporting frame 42 from being scratched and worn by the fixing frame 41 during the moving process.

In addition, attention is paid to the structural design of the support frame 42 on the side corresponding to the cable 44 and the tow chain 45, the support frame 42 on the side further includes an installation portion 425 located below the fixed frame 41 and a connection portion 426 connected and disposed between the fixed portion 421 and the installation portion 425, and both the installation portion 425 and the connection portion 426 are similarly disposed with a gap from the second extension portion 413.

The front side of the connecting portion 426 bends towards the direction of the fixing frame 41 to form a folding plate 4261, and the folding plate 4261 can prevent sundries from falling into the fixing frame to a certain extent, so that the structure is more attractive.

The mounting portion 425 forms a mounting space opened toward one side of the interior of the compartment 11 in the lateral direction, and the mounting portion 425 includes a top plate 4251, a bottom plate 4252, and a side plate 4253 connecting the top plate 4251 and the bottom plate 4252, which are disposed to face each other in the vertical direction. The height between the top plate 4251 and the bottom plate 4252 is matched with that of the fixing box 46, and both the top plate 4251 and the bottom plate 4252 are provided with first bayonets 4254, preferably, at least two first bayonets 4254 arranged at intervals in the front and at the back are respectively arranged on the top plate 4251 and the bottom plate 4252. The side plate 4253 is provided with a second bayonet 4255. The edge of the bottom plate 4252 is recessed towards the corresponding side wall 111 of the supporting frame 42 to form a positioning slot 4256, so that the fixing box 46 can be installed conveniently. The length of the bottom plate 4252 extending back and forth is not less than the length of the fixing box 46, and the lengths of the bottom plate 4252 and the fixing box 46 are preferably approximately equal, so that the requirement of stable installation of the fixing box 46 can be met, and the bottom plate 4252 can be prevented from influencing the bending deformation of the drag chain 45 connected to the fixing box 46.

Typically, the tow chain 45 comprises a plurality of links 451 connected in series. Referring to fig. 6, each link 451 has two oppositely disposed clamping plates 4511 and two blocking plates 4512 connecting the two clamping plates 4511, and the clamping plates 4511 and the blocking plates 4512 together form a cavity for receiving the cable 44. Preferably, at least one of the first and

second connectors

441, 442 can pass through the cavity to facilitate the actual production and assembly. Of course, the size of the drag chain 45 may also be reduced to make the cavity adapted to the outer diameter of the cable 44, thereby improving the aesthetic property of the drag chain 45 and saving the installation space, but the cable 44 needs to be threaded into the drag chain 45 first, and then the first connector 441 and the second connector 442 are connected to each other.

The two ends of the clamping plate 4511 are respectively provided with a connecting hole 4513 and a connecting column 4514, the connecting holes 4513 and the connecting column 4514 are respectively butted with the connecting column 4514 and the connecting hole 4513 of the adjacent chain link 451 on the corresponding side, and the adjacent chain links 451 can rotate relative to each other along the axial direction of the connecting holes 4513 and the connecting column 4514. Generally, the connecting hole 4513 and the connecting column 4514 are respectively configured as a circular hole and a cylinder, and in order to allow the adjacent chain link 451 to keep free movement, the distance between the two clamping plates 4511 on the side of the connecting hole 4513 is greater than the distance between the two clamping plates 4511 on the side of the connecting column 4514.

Due to the space between the drawer box 30 and the sidewall 111, the drag chain 45 is preferably folded in a height direction, that is, the connecting hole 4513 and the connecting post 4514 of the link 451 in the drag chain 45 are transversely arranged in the left-right direction. In this embodiment, in order to reduce the installation length of the cable 44 and the drag chain 45 and the corresponding material cost, the installation box 47 is preferably installed at a position near the opening of the compartment 11. Further, the mounting box 47 is located below the fixing frame 41 and spaced from the supporting frame 42.

The retaining box 46 is disposed adjacent to the front end of the support frame 42, and in order to prevent the tow chain 45 from being exposed to the outside when the drawer type door body 20 is pulled open, the side plate 4253 of the mounting portion 425 extends rearward beyond the mounting space to the rear end of the support frame 42. Meanwhile, the supporting frame 42 is further protruded toward the interior of the compartment 11 to form a supporting protrusion 427, and the supporting protrusion 427 is preferably disposed at a middle position in the front-rear direction of the supporting frame 42, and the rear end of the fixed box 46 is spaced from the supporting protrusion 427. The intermediate position is not strictly limited to the midpoint of the support frame 42, and may be a position near the midpoint of the support frame 42 in the front-rear direction. When the drawer-type door body 20 is pulled out, the supporting protrusion 427 can prevent a part of the chain link 451 of the drag chain 45 from falling down and exceeding the supporting frame 42, which affects the appearance; when the drawer door 20 is retracted to the closed state, the supporting protrusions 427 do not affect the deformation and folding of the tow chain 45. The side plate 4253 extends rearward beyond the support protrusions 427, and the support protrusions 427 are formed by folding and extending the lower edge of the side plate 4253 toward the compartment inner side. The support protrusions 427 are preferably provided here in the form of plate-like structures that can support and limit the drag chain 45. Further, the bottom plate 4252 may be arranged to extend rearward to a position near the middle of the supporting frame 42, that is, the rear half portion of the bottom plate 4252 may perform the function of the supporting protrusion 427, and in this case, the product assembly requirement may be satisfied without additionally providing the supporting protrusion 427.

Referring to fig. 7 and 8, the fixing box 46 and the supporting frame 42 are fixed to each other in a clamping manner, and the fixing box 46 is disposed in an opening manner towards one side of the mounting portion 425 along the transverse direction, so as to facilitate the mounting of the second connector 442 and the door-side electrical connector. The rear end of the fixing box 46 is provided with a first inserting port 461, and the fixing box 46 is preferably made of an elastic insulating material, such as organic resin, plastic, etc., so as to fix the front end of the drag chain 45 to the first inserting port 461 in an inserting and clamping manner, and meanwhile, to facilitate the fixing and installation of the fixing box 46 and the support frame 42.

Specifically, the fixing box 46 includes a top wall 462 and a bottom wall 463 which are arranged to face each other in the up-down direction, and a connecting wall 464 which connects the top wall 462 and the bottom wall 463. Fixing

blocks

4621 and 4631 which are matched and fixed with the first bayonets 4254 on the top plate 4251 and the bottom plate 4252 are further formed on the upper surface of the top wall 462 and the lower surface of the bottom wall 463 respectively, the fixing blocks 4621 and 4631 are arranged in a wedge shape, and in the installation process of the fixing box 46, the fixing blocks 4621 and 4631 are firstly squeezed by the top plate 4251 and the bottom plate 4252 to deform oppositely, and then continuously slide until the fixing blocks 4621 and 4631 are clamped and fixed with the first bayonets 4254.

A receiving cavity 465 for receiving the second connector 442 and the door-side electrical connector is further formed at a middle position of the fixing box 46 along the front-rear direction, and in order to avoid an influence on the receiving cavity 465, which may be caused when the fixing blocks 4621, 4631 are deformed by being pressed, the fixing blocks 4621, 4631 are disposed to deviate from the receiving cavity 465 along the front-rear direction. Preferably, the two fixing

blocks

4621 and 4631 are disposed at the front and rear sides of the accommodating cavity 465 respectively. Here, in order to reduce the requirement for elasticity of the material of the fixing box 46 itself in a low temperature environment, the top wall 462 is further formed with first slots 4622 located beside the fixing blocks 4621, the first slots 4622 are arranged in groups two by two, a first elastic wall 4623 is formed between the first slots 4622 in the same group, and the fixing blocks 4621 are protruded on the upper surface of the first elastic wall 4623. Similarly, the bottom wall 463 is also formed with a second strip-shaped groove 4632 beside the fixed block 4631, and the fixed block 4631 is formed on the lower surface of the corresponding second elastic wall 4633.

The fixing box 46 further includes a retaining wall 466 formed at the rear end of the top wall 462 or the bottom wall 463, the retaining wall 466 is disposed opposite to the connecting wall 464, and the first insertion port 461 is formed between the retaining wall 466 and the connecting wall 464. The retaining wall 466 faces backwards and is formed with a retaining block 4661 along a direction away from the connecting wall 464, and the retaining block 4661 is mutually retained and fixed with the second bayonet 4255, so as to further enhance the stability of the fixing box 46. In addition, a positioning block 4634 is formed on the bottom wall 463 of the fixing box 46 and protrudes downward, and the positioning block 4634 can cooperate with the positioning slot 4256 to realize positioning and assembling during the installation process of the fixing box 46. Of course, the positioning slot 4256 may also be disposed at the junction between the top plate 4251 and the connecting portion 426, and a corresponding positioning mechanism is required to be protruded on the top wall 462 of the fixing box 46, which is not described herein again.

The connecting wall 464 and the retaining wall 466 are further formed with a plug structure corresponding to the connecting hole 4513 or the connecting column 4514 of the chain link 451 at the front end of the drag chain 45. Here, the retaining wall 466 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall 463, and an upper end of the retaining wall 466 is separated from the top wall 462, so that the first socket 461 is expanded and deformed in the transverse direction during the plugging process of the drag chain 45, thereby facilitating the assembly. A set of insertion bosses 467 are formed on one side of the connecting wall 464 and one side of the holding wall 466 facing the first insertion opening 461, the distance between the insertion bosses 467 matches with the distance between the two opposite clamping plates 4511 in the chain link 451, insertion holes 4671 matched with the connecting columns 4514 are formed on the insertion bosses 467, and guide surfaces 4672 extending backward are formed on the insertion bosses 467. The guide surfaces 4672 formed on the set of inserting bosses 467 are arranged oppositely and the distance between the guide surfaces 4672 is gradually increased from front to back, the set of connecting posts 4514 on the chain link 451 are firstly contacted with the guide surfaces 4672, in the process of forward sliding inserting, the connecting posts 4514 and the inserting bosses 467 are mutually pressed, the holding wall 466 deforms towards one side away from the connecting wall 464, meanwhile, the distance between the two clamping plates 4511 of the chain link 451 is also reduced, until the connecting posts 4514 slide into the inserting holes 4671, the holding wall 466 and the chain link 451 respectively return to the original state, and the inserting of the front end of the drag chain 45 is completed. In order to avoid the plugging dislocation, a limiting protrusion is further formed in the first plugging port 461, and in particular, the bottom wall 463 is further formed with a first limiting protrusion 4635 protruding upwards at a position adjacent to the first plugging port 461. The first position-limiting protrusion 4635 can abut against a stop 4512 at the lower side of the chain link 451 to prevent the drag chain 45 from being inserted too deeply, which causes the connecting post 4514 to be separated from the inserting hole 4671, and further causes deformation and damage to the drag chain 45 or the retaining wall 466.

In addition, barrier ribs 468 are further formed on the front side and the rear side of the accommodating cavity 465, and the barrier ribs 468 can better ensure the structural strength of the accommodating cavity 465, and also realize effective front and rear limiting on the second connector 442 and the door side electric connector accommodated therein, so as to avoid front and rear displacement or separation of the two.

Here, the mounting box 47 has a first portion located between the support frame 42 and the side wall 111 and a second portion located below the support frame 42, that is, the mounting box 47 has an L shape with a cross section in the front-rear direction being inverted as a whole, and the second receptacle 471 is formed at a rear end of the second portion. The cable 44 led out from the second interface 471 extends backwards along with the drag chain 45, then bends forwards by 180 degrees, and then continues to extend into the fixing box 46. Due to the limiting effect of the adjacent chain links 451, the drag chain 45 has the minimum bending radius, that is, the bending deformation angle of the cable 44 can be well limited by the drag chain 45, so that the cable 44 is prevented from being excessively bent, deformed and damaged; and the extension part of the cable 44 between the fixing box 46 and the mounting box 47 is completely accommodated in the drag chain 45, so that the cable 44 can be well prevented from bouncing and being worn by compression.

Preferably, in order to reduce the stress generated by the drag chain 45 in the transverse direction, the first and

second insertion ports

461, 471 are arranged flush with each other in the left-right direction. The first interface 461 is higher than the second interface 471, and considering the minimum bending radius of the drag chain 45, the height difference between the first interface 461 and the second interface 471 in the height direction is preferably not less than twice the minimum bending radius of the drag chain 45.

The mounting box 47 has a front wall 472 and a rear wall 473 arranged in front and rear opposition, and a cover 474 connected between the front wall 472 and the rear wall 473, and the mounting box 47 is also made of an elastic insulating material. The rear wall 472 extends forward adjacent to the second interface 471 to form a mating plate 475, the mating plate 475 and a side of the cover 474 facing the second interface 471 are formed with a pair of plug posts 476 in a protruding manner, and the plug posts 476 are mated with the connecting holes 4513 of the rearmost link 451 of the drag chain 45. In the pair of the plugging columns 476, a guide surface 4761 extending rearward is formed on the rear side of the plugging column 476. The guide surfaces 4761 formed on the plug posts 476 are oppositely arranged and the distance between the guide surfaces is gradually increased from front to back, the two clamping plates 4511 of the chain link 451 are firstly contacted with the guide surfaces 4761, during the forward sliding and plugging process, the clamping plates 4511 and the plug posts 476 are pressed against each other, the matching plate 475 is deformed to one side away from the cover plate 474, meanwhile, the distance between the two clamping plates 4511 of the chain link 451 is also reduced by pressing, and when the plug posts 476 slide into the connecting holes 4513, the matching plate 475 and the chain link 451 respectively return to the original state, and the plugging of the rear end of the drag chain 45 is completed. In order to avoid the occurrence of plugging dislocation, a limiting protrusion is also formed in the second plug-in port 471, specifically, the second plug-in port 471 protrudes and forms a second limiting protrusion 4711 in the vertical direction, and the second limiting protrusion 4711 can abut against a baffle 4512 on the upper side of the chain link 451, so as to avoid that the connecting hole 4513 is separated from the plug-in post 476 due to too deep insertion of the drag chain 45, and even the drag chain 45 or the mating plate 475 is deformed and damaged.

In combination with the structure description of the first socket 461, it is conceivable that the matching structures of the first socket 461 and the second socket 471 and the drag chain 45 can be replaced with each other, that is, a socket post (not shown) matching with the connecting hole 4513 of the chain link 451 is disposed in the first socket 461, and a socket boss and a socket hole (not shown) matching with the connecting hole 4514 of the chain link 451 is disposed in the second socket 471.

A limiting member 477 for limiting the position of the cable 44 is further disposed in the mounting box 47, and the limiting member 477 may be generally configured as a plate-shaped, column-shaped or hook-shaped protruding mechanism, which can effectively limit the cable 44 from bouncing within the mounting box 47, so as to prevent the first connector 441 from being separated from the box-side electrical connector.

The mounting box 47 is further formed with a mounting region 478 which is arranged in a closed manner, an opening 4741 is formed in a position of the cover plate 474 corresponding to the mounting region 478, and the mounting box 47 and the side wall 111 of the compartment 11 are fixedly mounted through the opening 4741, and meanwhile, moisture in the compartment 11 is effectively prevented from invading the heat insulation layer of the box body 10. Here, a fixing protrusion 4742 is further formed below the cover 474, and the fixing protrusion 4742 is fixed to an inner wall of the compartment 11 or a separate shelf (not shown) provided in the compartment 11, thereby further enhancing structural stability of the mounting box 47. Furthermore, a housing cavity 479 for housing electrical control components is formed in the mounting box 47 adjacent to the front wall 472, such as: a sensor for sensing whether the drawer type door body 20 is closed or not may be fixedly installed in the seating cavity 479.

Besides, a corresponding door support iron (not shown) is fixedly arranged at the rear side of the drawer-type door 20, and the door support iron and the support frame 42 are fixed to each other through screws. In another embodiment of the present invention, the door body supporting iron and the supporting frame 42 may be designed as a single body and then fixed to the drawer type door body 20.

In summary, the present invention realizes the front and back movement of the drawer-type door 20 of the refrigerator 100 in the compartment 11 and the stable electrical connection between the drawer-type door 20 and the refrigerator body 10 through the routing mechanism 40. The part of the cable 44 between the fixing box 46 and the mounting box 47 is completely accommodated in the drag chain 45, which effectively protects the cable 44, prevents the cable 44 from being extruded, deformed and damaged, and effectively ensures the normal operation of the electrical components on the drawer type door body 20. Besides, the wiring mechanism 40 has a more reasonable structural design, is easy and convenient to install, and is beautiful and reliable.
