As shown in fig. 2 to 5, the drawer 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a drawer body 100, a front panel 200, and a frame 300. Wherein the drawer body 100 is used for storing articles. The front panel 200 is mounted upright at the front side of the drawer body 100 to constitute a front appearance of the drawer 20, i.e., a front surface of the front panel 200 is exposed to the outside. The edge of the front panel 200 is connected to the drawer body 100. The bezel 300 has a closed frame shape, and includes a apron 301 covering the edges of the front panel 200, and a front flap 302 bent and extended from the front edge of the apron 301 to be attached to the front surface of the front panel 200. Here, the entire edge of the apron 301 extends beyond the front apron 302, that is, the cross-section of any position of the frame 300 is "L" shaped.

As shown in fig. 3, the drawer body 100 may include a bottom wall, a rear wall, two lateral side walls, a top beam disposed at a front end thereof, and an opening 101 opened at a front side thereof. The front panel is used to cover the opening 101.

Referring to fig. 4, the front surface of the front panel 200 is formed with a mounting groove 240 opened backward and extending along at least a portion of the edge of the front panel 200, and the front edge of the outer wall of the mounting groove 240 is opened backward with a plurality of insertion holes 242, that is, the insertion holes 242 cut the front edge of the outer wall. The outer wall of the mounting groove 240 refers to a wall far from the center of the front panel 200. For example, when the mounting groove 240 extends along the top edge of the front panel 200, the outer wall of the seating groove 240 refers to the upper wall thereof, as shown in fig. 4. When the mounting groove 240 extends along the left (right) edge of the front panel 200, the outer wall refers to the left (right) wall thereof. The outer wall refers to a bottom wall thereof when the mounting groove 240 extends along a bottom edge of the front panel 200.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, a plurality of insertion portions 340 extend from the inner surface of the baffle 301, and each insertion portion 340 is inserted into one insertion opening 242 from front to back (the number of the insertion portions 340 is the same as that of the insertion openings 242, and the positions of the insertion portions 340 are in one-to-one correspondence) to fix the bezel 300 to the front panel 200. It will be appreciated that a similar interference fit may be used between mating part 340 and socket 242 to provide a tighter mating.

The inventor finds out through long-term research that the main reason for accidental damage of the inserting part of the drawer is that the inserting part is exposed and is easy to knock. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention designs the frame 300 specifically. The surrounding baffle 301 of the frame 300 covers the edge of the front panel 200, so that the connecting structure of the front panel 200 and the drawer body 100 is hidden in the surrounding baffle 301, and the connecting structure is not damaged by collision with the box body, and dirt is not accumulated, so that the drawer is not easy to clean.

The frame 300 is connected to the socket 242 of the front panel 200 through the insertion part 340 of the surrounding baffle 301, and when the frame 300 is installed, only the frame 300 needs to be aligned to the front panel 200, and then the insertion part 340 is inserted, so that the operation is very simple and convenient. Moreover, the insertion part 340 and the insertion opening 242 are hidden inside the frame 300, so that the problems of collision damage and dirt accumulation are avoided.

Because the connection part between the front panel 200 and the drawer body 100 and between the front panel 200 and the frame 300 are hidden inside the frame 300, the appearance of the drawer 20 is not affected, and the appearance of the drawer 20 is more concise and beautiful.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4 and 6, each mating portion 340 includes two vertical plate portions 341 and two lateral plate portions 342. Two vertical plate portions 341 extend in parallel from the inner surface of the apron 301 (the vertical plate portions 341 are perpendicular to the inner surface of the apron 301) to be clamped in the insertion openings 242, that is, each vertical plate portion 341 abuts against one side edge of the bayonet tightly. The two lateral plate portions 342 extend from the ends of the riser portions 341 in a direction parallel to the inner surface of the apron 301, respectively, and away from each other to be inserted into the mounting grooves 240. The vertical plate portions 341 and the horizontal plate portions 342 form an "L" shaped structure, which not only constrains the degree of freedom parallel to the edge direction of the frame 300, but also constrains the degree of freedom perpendicular to the edge direction of the frame 300, so that the position of the frame 300 is more stable.

As shown in fig. 6, a plurality of protruding strips 343 may be further extended backward from the inner surface of the front barrier 302, so that the protruding strips 343 are inserted into the mounting grooves 240. The convex strips 343 can be brought into contact with the lateral plate 342. The convex strips 343 correspond to the extension portions of the lateral plate portions 342, and the length of the connection portion between the bezel 301 and the bezel 300 can be extended by providing the convex strips 343, thereby enhancing the connection strength.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the front panel 200 and the bezel 300 are both rectangular as a whole. The rectangular front panel 200 can be matched with the shape of an outlet of a storage chamber of the refrigerator, and the appearance is more atmospheric and attractive.

For the rectangular front panel 200, the aforementioned mounting groove 240 may be provided only on a partial edge of the front panel 200 in view of simplifying the structure and improving the assembly efficiency. Since the user pushes and pulls the drawer 20 to hold the top of the bezel 300 more, it is preferable to provide the mounting groove 240 only at the top edge of the front panel 200 to enhance the connection strength between the top of the bezel 300 and the top of the front panel 200.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the front panel 200 includes a panel body 201 and a flange 202 bent back from an edge of the panel body 201. All edges of the panel body 201 extend out of the flange 202, that is, the cross section of any position of the edge part of the front panel 200 is L-shaped. The flange 202 is entirely hidden inside the apron 301. The insertion opening 242 extends through both side surfaces of the flange 202 so that the end of the insertion portion 340 abuts against the inner surface of the flange 202 (for example, in fig. 4, the top surface of the rear end of the lateral plate portion 342 abuts against the inner surface of the flange 202). This allows a longer plug part 340 (the length of the plug part 340 refers to its front-rear dimension) to be designed for a more secure connection.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the flange 202 has a plurality of first fastening holes 210, the inner surface of the baffle 301 has a plurality of first fasteners 310, and each first fastener 310 is fastened in one first fastening hole 210 (the number of the first fasteners 310 is the same as that of the first fastening holes 210, and the positions of the first fasteners 310 are in one-to-one correspondence). The fastener is widely applied in the field, and the specific structure is not described herein.

The embodiment of the utility model provides an in, frame 300 is fixed with front panel 200 adopts the connection structure of two kinds of differences, is the connection of grafting portion 340 and socket 242 and the connection of first card hole 210 and first buckle 310 respectively for connection between them is more firm, forms dual guarantee. The possibility of both failing at the same time resulting in loosening defects is extremely low, so that the reliability of the drawer 20 is greatly increased.

The front panel 200 and the drawer body 100 can be fixedly connected by a snap structure. As shown in fig. 3, the flange 202 is provided with a plurality of second fastening holes 230, the drawer body 100 is formed with a plurality of second fasteners 130 at the front portion, and each second fastener 130 is fastened in one second fastening hole 230 (the number of the second fasteners 130 is the same as that of the second fastening holes 230, and the positions of the second fasteners 130 are in one-to-one correspondence). Fig. 3 does not show the bottom of the drawer body, so the second latch 130 at the bottom of the front end of the drawer body 100 is not shown. The buckle structure is widely applied in the field, and the specific structure is not described in detail herein.

Of course, the front panel 200 and the drawer body 100 may be fixedly connected by other means, such as a threaded connection.

Thus, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments of the invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations and modifications can be made, consistent with the principles of the invention, which are directly determined or derived from the disclosure herein, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
