The specific structure of the refrigerator ornament will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 8.

In a specific implementation, the refrigerator trim 1 may include a trim body 10, a securing plate 20, and a decorative layer 40.

In some embodiments, the trim body 10 may include any of a storage device, a door panel, a door handle, a drawer panel, a duct cover, and the like. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the drawing is schematically illustrated by taking the ornament body 10 as the storage device, and when the ornament body 10 is a door panel, a door handle, a drawer panel, an air duct cover, etc., the structure may refer to the illustration of the storage device, and the illustration is not repeated here.

The trim body 10 has an outer surface 11. Wherein the outer surface 11 of the trim body faces the securing plate 20.

The fixing plate 20 has an inner surface 21 and an outer surface (not shown) which are disposed opposite to each other. The inner surface 21 of the fixing plate faces the outer surface 11 of the trim body.

One of the outer surface 11 of the ornament body and the inner surface 21 of the fixing plate is provided with a sink 31, the other one of the outer surface 11 of the ornament body and the inner surface 21 of the fixing plate is provided with a protrusion 32, and the protrusion 32 is matched with the sink 31, so that the fixing plate 20 is positioned during installation, and the installation accuracy and the installation convenience of the fixing plate 20 are improved. The drawings given in this embodiment illustrate an example in which the sink 31 is provided on the outer surface of the ornament body and the projection 32 is provided on the inner surface 21 of the fixing plate. The structure when the countersink 31 is provided on the inner surface 21 of the fixing plate and the protrusion 32 is provided on the outer surface 11 of the trim body is not shown here.

The fixing plate 20 may be coupled to the trim body 10 in various ways.

In some embodiments, the securing plate 20 is adhesively attached to the trim body 10. For example, an adhesive layer is provided between the sink 31 and the projection 32, and the adhesive layer is used to attach the fixing plate 20 to the trim body 10 by bonding the sink 31 and the projection 32 together.

In other embodiments, the securing plate 20 is snap-connected to the trim body 10. For example, one of the fixing plate 20 and the ornament body 10 is provided with a hook, the other is provided with a clamping groove, the hook is matched with the clamping groove, and the fixing plate 20 is connected to the ornament body 10 by clamping the hook in the clamping groove.

A receiving cavity 33 is formed between the ornament body 10 and the fixing plate 20, and the receiving cavity 33 extends along at least part of the edge 22 of the fixing plate 20.

Referring to fig. 8, a decorative layer 40 covers the outer surface of the fixing plate 20 and covers at least part of the edge 22 of the fixing plate, and an edge 41 of the decorative layer 40 is located between the inner surface 21 of the fixing plate and the outer surface 11 of the decorative body and is located within the receiving cavity 33.

In a specific implementation, the edge 41 of the decorative layer 40 is located in the accommodating cavity 33, and the decorative layer 40 can be connected to the fixing plate 20 by bonding, or connected to the fixing plate 20 by sewing, or connected to the fixing plate 20 by fastening means such as screws, so as to further improve the connection reliability of the decorative layer 40 and the fixing plate 20.

Further, the edge 41 of the decorative layer is adhered to the ornament body 10, so as to further improve the fixing property of the decorative layer 40 in the accommodating cavity 33. By further fixing the edge 41 of the decorative layer, the probability of the refrigerator trim 1 having a raised edge or wrinkles is further reduced.

Further, in the region of the accommodating groove 33, the distance between the ornament body 10 and the fixing plate 20 is equal to or smaller than the thickness of the edge 41 of the decorative layer, so that the ornament body 10 and the fixing plate 20 have moderate extrusion force on the edge 41 of the decorative layer, and the problems of wrinkling, edge lifting and the like caused by the fact that the edge 41 of the decorative layer is separated from the accommodating cavity 33 are further reduced.

Further, in a specific implementation, the trim body 10 includes an outer surface facing the different sides, and the decorative layer 40 at least completely covers the outer surface of the trim body 10 facing the user side in the use state. In this way, the flatness and the aesthetic appearance of the refrigerator ornament 1 can be improved.

As can be seen from the above scheme, the refrigerator ornament provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises an ornament body, a fixing plate and a decorative layer, wherein one of the outer surface of the ornament body and the inner surface of the fixing plate is provided with a sink, the other one is provided with a protrusion, the protrusion is matched with the sink so as to realize positioning between the ornament body and the fixing plate, a containing cavity is formed between the ornament body and the fixing plate, and the containing cavity is positioned at the edge of the fixing plate. The decorative layer coats the outer surface of the fixed plate and at least part of the edge of the fixed plate, and the edge of the decorative layer is positioned in the accommodating cavity. Through compressing tightly the edge of decorative layer in the holding chamber, compressing tightly through fixed plate and gadget body, can improve the fixed firmness of decorative layer, effectively reduce the probability of wrinkling, perk scheduling problem.

In some non-limiting embodiments, the receiving cavity 33 extends along at least one pair of opposing edges of the securing plate 20.

In a specific implementation, the decorative layer 40 covers the outer surface of the fixing plate 20 in a tensioned state in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the accommodating cavity 33. Thus, the surface of the decorative layer 40 is smooth, and the appearance is good.

In a specific implementation, the elasticity of the decoration layer 40 in the extending direction perpendicular to the accommodating cavity 33 is greater than the elasticity of the decoration layer 40 along the extending direction of the accommodating cavity 33.

In particular implementations, the decorative layer 40 may be made of a variety of materials.

For example, the decorative layer 40 includes a leather layer. Wherein, the cortex layer can be made of a lamellar cortex material.

As another example, the decorative layer 40 comprises a cloth layer. Wherein, the cloth layer can be made of cloth material.

For another example, the decorative layer 40 includes a metal layer.

In practice, some cortical materials and textile materials are divided into warp and weft directions. When the receiving cavity 33 extends only along a pair of opposite edges of the fixing plate 20 and the elasticity of the decorative layer 40 in the warp direction and the weft direction is different, if the elasticity of the decorative layer 40 in the warp direction is greater than the elasticity of the decorative layer in the weft direction, the edges of the decorative layer 40 in the warp direction are fixed in the receiving cavity 33. If the elasticity in the weft direction is greater than the elasticity in the radial direction, the decorative layer 40 is fixed in the accommodating cavity 33 along the edge in the weft direction. I.e. after the decorative layer 40 has wrapped around the fixing plate 20, it is possible to achieve that the elasticity of the decorative layer 40 in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the receiving cavity 33 is greater than the elasticity of the decorative layer 40 in the extension direction of the receiving cavity 33. The direction in which the elasticity of the decorative layer 40 is larger is generally more prone to wrinkling or edge lifting, and the probability of wrinkling or edge lifting of the decorative layer 40 can be further reduced by fixing the direction in which the elasticity of the decorative layer 40 is larger in the accommodating cavity 33.

For example, the fixing plate 20 includes a pair of edges disposed opposite to each other from top to bottom and a pair of edges disposed opposite to each other from left to right, and the receiving cavity 33 is disposed along the edges disposed symmetrically from left to right, and if the elasticity of the decorative layer 40 in the weft direction is greater than the elasticity in the warp direction, the decorative layer 40 is disposed in the receiving cavity 33 at the edges in the weft direction. Accordingly, if the elasticity of the decoration layer 40 in the warp direction is greater than the elasticity in the weft direction, the decoration layer 40 is located in the receiving cavity 33 at the edge of the warp direction.

In a specific implementation, referring to fig. 11, a schematic structural diagram of another decoration of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided. Referring to fig. 11, the trim body 10 has a flange 12, the flange 12 extending along an edge of the trim body 10 and from the trim body 10 toward the fixing plate 20, the flange 12 abutting at least the other edge of the fixing plate 20, the other edge of the fixing plate 20 being an edge of the fixing plate 20 other than the at least one pair of opposite edges 22. By abutting the flange 12 against other edges of the fixing plate 20, a part of the edge of the decorative layer 40, which is not pressed into the accommodating cavity 33, can be shielded, so that the part of the edge of the decorative layer 40, which is not pressed into the accommodating cavity 33, is prevented from being exposed to the external environment, and the probability of wrinkling, skinning or edge warping of the decorative layer 40 is further reduced. In the present embodiment, the receiving cavities 33 are formed at left and right edges of the fixing plate 20, that is, the receiving cavities 33 extend along the left and right edges of the fixing plate 20. The left edge and the right edge of the decorative layer 40 extend into the accommodating cavity 33 respectively, and the upper edge and the lower edge of the decorative layer 40 contact the flange 12, and the base material of the decorative layer 40 can be shielded by arranging the flange 12, so that a user can not observe the base material of the decorative layer 40 at the side edge, and the overall look and feel of the refrigeration appliance ornament 1 can be improved.

Wherein the flange 12 may be integrally formed with the trim body 10, as in the embodiment shown in fig. 11; the flange 12 may also be formed separately from the trim body 10 and then attached thereto, as in the embodiment shown in fig. 12.

Further, referring to fig. 12, fig. 12 is a schematic structural view of another decoration of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention. The flange 12 of the present embodiment may include a portion extending along the extending direction of the receiving cavity 33, and the flange 12 cooperates with the fixing plate 20 to press at least a portion of the edge 41 of the decorative layer. Since the flange 12 includes a portion extending along the extending direction of the accommodating cavity 33, the side surface of the decorative layer 40 can be protected, so that the side surface of the decorative layer 40 facing the user is exposed to the outside, and at the same time, other portions are prevented from being exposed to the outside as much as possible, thereby further reducing the probability of wrinkling, peeling or edge curling of the decorative layer 40.

Further, the flange 12 may be distributed along the edge of the trim body 10, i.e., the flange 12 may completely cover and abut the portion of the decorative layer 40 that wraps around the side 23 of the securing plate to provide overall protection to the decorative layer 40.

In some embodiments, the receiving cavity 33 is an annular receiving cavity around the edge 22 of the fixation plate 20.

In other embodiments, the receiving cavity 33 extends around the edge 22 of the trim body 10 facing the outer surface of the securing plate 20.

In still other embodiments, the receiving cavity 33 is an annular receiving cavity around the edge 22 of the securing plate 20, and the receiving cavity 33 extends around the edge of the trim body 10 facing the outer surface of the securing plate 20.

When the accommodating cavity 33 is an annular accommodating cavity, the edge of the decorative layer 40 is pressed in the annular accommodating cavity 33. By hiding the edge 41 of the decorative layer 40 in the annular accommodating cavity 33, the degree of compression on the edge of the decorative layer 40 can be further increased, and the probability of peeling, wrinkling or edge lifting due to the influence of high and low temperature environments and the like can be further reduced.

In a specific implementation, the accommodation chamber 33 with respect to the ring shape may be formed in various ways. For example, the middle region of the trim body 10 is sunk to form a sink 31, and the edge 22 of the fixing plate is sunk to form a protrusion 32 at the middle region of the fixing plate 20. For another example, the middle region of the ornament body 10 is protruded to form a protrusion 32, and the middle region of the fixing plate 20 is sunk to form a sink 31. The inner surface shape of the sink 31 is adapted to the outer surface shape of the projection 32.

In a specific implementation, the depth of the sinking groove 31 is smaller than the height of the protrusion 32, so that after the protrusion 32 is located in the sinking groove 31, a receiving cavity 33 is formed.

Further, the edge 41 of the decorative layer is accommodated by the annular accommodating cavity 33 formed between the decorative part body 10 and the fixing plate 20, the edge 41 of the decorative layer is hidden and pressed by the annular accommodating cavity 33, the refrigerator decorative part 1 can be realized without an additional edge sealing fixing part, the frame-free design of the refrigerator decorative part 1 is realized, the base material of the decorative layer 40 can not be observed on the side edge by a user, and the overall look and feel of the refrigerator decorative part 1 can be improved.

In some implementations, a first recess 24 is provided in a corner region of the fixing plate 20, the first recess 24 being for receiving a laminated portion of the decorative layer 40 in the corner region. The corner region is the intersection region of the two sides of the fixing plate 20 or a curved surface portion. When the decorative layer 40 covers the outer surface 21 of the fixing plate and the edge 22 of the fixing plate, there is a lamination of the edge 41 of the decorative layer at the corner region of the fixing plate 20, the thickness of the lamination portion is generally greater than that of the non-lamination portion, and the lamination portion can be accommodated by the first groove 24 provided so that the thickness of the edge 41 of the decorative layer in the accommodating cavity 33 is relatively uniform.

In other embodiments, the outer surface 11 of the trim body is provided with a second recess, which is provided in a position corresponding to the corner region of the securing plate 20. The second recess is for receiving the laminated portion of the decorative layer 40 in the corner region. The corner region is the intersection region of the two sides of the fixing plate 20. When the decorative layer 40 covers the outer surface 21 of the fixing plate and the edge 22 of the fixing plate, there is a lamination of the edge 41 of the decorative layer at the corner region of the fixing plate 20, the thickness of the lamination portion is generally greater than that of the non-lamination portion, and the lamination portion can be accommodated by the second groove provided so that the thickness of the edge 41 of the decorative layer in the accommodating cavity 33 is relatively uniform.
