Referring to fig. 2 to 4, the front panel 1 of the present invention includes a panel frame 10, a glass 20, and a rear molding 30.

The panel frame 10 is formed with a closed bezel 11 in the middle. That is, the frame opening 11 is formed entirely in one part of the panel frame 10, not surrounded by a plurality of parts, and thus the front side of the panel frame 10 can have an integral structure without a gap, and the appearance is beautiful.

The glass 20 is configured to be fitted to the rear side of the panel frame 10 from the rear to the front, and is exposed to the front side of the panel frame 10 through the bezel 11. That is, the glass 20 is fitted to the panel frame 10 from the rear side of the panel frame 10. Thus, any fitting structure between the glass 20 and the panel frame 10 is not visible on the front side of the front panel 1.

The rear molding 30 is detachably fitted to the rear side of the panel frame 10 and sandwiches at least a part of the edge of the glass 20 between the panel frame 10 and the rear molding 30. That is, the glass 20 is fixed by being sandwiched between the rear molding 30 and the panel frame 10.

Specifically, in the assembly, the glass 20 may be pre-assembled on the rear side of the panel frame 10, and then the rear molding 30 is assembled on the rear side of the panel frame 10, so as to fix the glass 20 by clamping. This is not only simple to operate, but also there is no restriction on the size of the panel frame 10, and any size of the front panel 1 is suitable for assembly in this way. And, the rear molding 30 is detachably connected to the panel frame 10, so that it is convenient to detach or replace the glass 20, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the front panel 1.

Further, the rear molding 30 and the panel frame 10 may be detachably connected by one or more of clamping, interference fit and fastener connection. Either way, the detachment between the rear molding 30 and the panel frame 10 is facilitated.

Fig. 5 to 8 are schematic structural views of a glass mounting process according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the top of the panel frame 10 defines a top groove 12 with a downward notch, and the bottom of the panel frame 10 defines a bottom groove 13 with an upward notch. When the glass 20 approaches the panel frame 10 from the rear to the front (see the state shown in fig. 5), it is first obliquely caught into the top groove 12 from the bottom to the top (see the state shown in fig. 6), then abuts the panel frame 10 from the front (see the state shown in fig. 7), and finally descends into the bottom groove 13 in an upright posture (see the state shown in fig. 8), thereby being confined between the top groove 12 and the bottom groove 13. Specifically, the top groove 12 and the bottom groove 13 are both strip-shaped grooves extending in the lateral direction, and the top and bottom of the glass 20 are respectively confined in the top groove 12 and the bottom groove 13, so that the glass 20 is pre-positioned in the up-down direction and the front-rear direction.

In some embodiments, the panel frame 10 may include a top bezel 14 at an upper portion, a bottom bezel 15 at a lower portion, and two lateral side bezels 16 connected between the top bezel 14 and the bottom bezel 15. Specifically, the top groove 12 may be formed on the top rim 14 and the bottom groove 13 may be formed on the bottom rim 15. The bottom frame 15 may further have a downward-grooved handle groove 151 formed thereon, and the handle groove 151 is used to form a handle portion of the drawer 200, so that a user can push and pull the drawer 200 through the handle portion.

Further, the rear molding 30 is connected to the top rim 14 of the panel frame 10. That is, the rear molding 30 has a clamping function only to the top of the glass 20.

The applicant has recognized that since the glass 20 is inserted obliquely into the top groove 12 and then sunk into the bottom groove 13 in a vertical posture, the width of the top groove 12 in the front-rear direction needs to be larger than the thickness of the glass 20, and the width of the bottom groove 13 in the front-rear direction may be equal to or slightly larger than the thickness of the glass 20 so that the glass 20 can be just caught in the bottom groove 13 from above downward. Therefore, the bottom groove 13 has a strict restriction effect on the glass 20 in the front-rear direction and the downward direction, and the stability of the bottom of the glass 20 can be ensured even if there is no additional restriction structure to assist the limiting. For this reason, the rear molding 30 is designed to be connected to the top frame 14 only, that is, only the top of the glass 20 is clamped, so that the overall stability of the glass 20 is ensured, the number of the rear molding 30 is reduced, the structure of the front panel 1 is simplified, and the front panel is conveniently connected to the drawer body 201.

Fig. 9 to 11 are schematic configuration views of an assembling process of the rear molding according to one embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the top groove 12 is formed on the top rim 14, and the top rim 14 further includes an attachment slot 141 at a rear side of the top groove 12 and opening rearward. It will be appreciated that the top groove 12 and attachment slot 141 are each a strip-shaped slot extending lengthwise (i.e., transversely) of the top rim 14.

Further, the rear molding 30 includes a front side panel 31 forming a front portion thereof, a rear side panel 32 forming a rear portion thereof, a bottom panel 33 connected between a bottom portion of the front side panel 31 and a bottom portion of the rear side panel 32, a first front burring 34 horizontally extending forward from the front side panel 31, and a rear burring 35 horizontally extending forward from the rear side panel 32. Specifically, the front side plate 31, the rear side plate 32 and the bottom plate 33 enclose a structure having a "U" shaped longitudinal section. The front side panel 31 and the rear side panel 32 may each extend vertically, and the bottom panel 33 extends laterally.

Further, the rear molding 30 is configured to be mounted upward from a pre-assembly position (see the state shown in fig. 9) below the top bezel 14 such that the front side plate 31 and the first forward flange 34 of the rear molding 30 enter the top recess 12 (see the state shown in fig. 10), and to be mounted forward such that the rear flange 35 is gradually inserted and restrained in the coupling groove 141 and such that the top and rear surfaces of the glass 20 abut against the lower surface of the first forward flange 34 and the forward surface of the front side plate 31, respectively (see the state shown in fig. 11). On one hand, the rear molding 30 can be assembled to the panel frame 10 by the engagement of the first front flange 34 with the coupling groove 141; on the other hand, the first front flange 34 of the rear molding 30 can also limit the glass 20 downward to prevent the glass 20 from moving upward, and the front plate 31 of the rear molding 30 can also limit the glass 20 forward to make it abut against the panel frame 10 forward to prevent the glass 20 from moving forward and backward. At this time, the glass 20 is firmly confined between the panel frame 10 and the rear molding 30.

Therefore, the structure of the rear trim 30 and the panel frame 10 is specially designed, and the special assembling process of the rear trim 30 is matched, so that the limit of the glass 20 can be strengthened in the assembling process of the rear trim 30, the assembling process is very simple, and the installation stability of the glass 20 is improved.

Specifically, a plurality of connecting holes may be opened on the rear side plate 32 of the rear molding 30, a plurality of connecting holes may also be opened at corresponding positions on the top frame 14 of the panel frame 10, and the rear molding 30 and the panel frame 10 may be fastened and connected by fasteners 40 penetrating through the connecting holes of the rear side plate 32 and the top frame 14. The end of the rear flange 35 is further provided with a hook 351 for limiting the rear flange 35 to slide out from the connecting groove 141, so that the stability of the assembly between the rear molding 30 and the panel frame 10 is improved.

In some embodiments, the rear molding 30 further includes a second forward flange 36 extending horizontally forward from the front panel 31, the second forward flange 36 being spaced above the first forward flange 34 to form a notch-forward receiving slot 37 between the first forward flange 34 and the second forward flange 36. The accommodating groove 37 is provided therein with a light emitting device 50 for emitting light toward the glass 20. Specifically, the light emitting device 50 may be previously installed in the receiving groove 37 before the rear molding 30 is assembled to the rear side of the panel frame 10, so that the front panel 1 has an effect of emitting light, and the assembly of the light emitting device 50 is very simple without affecting the assembly of the rear molding 30. The light emitting device 50 is mounted in the receiving cavity 37 and can be connected with the receiving cavity by a double-sided tape.

Specifically, when the rear molding 30 is assembled to the panel frame 10, the top of the second front flange 36 may abut against the bottom wall of the top groove 12 opposite to the notch thereof, and the upper surface of the bottom plate 33 may abut against the lower surface of the downward extending extension of the top frame 14. That is, there are a plurality of mating interfaces between the rear molding 30 and the panel frame 10, and there is no gap between each mating interface. Therefore, the rear decorative strip 30 and the panel frame 10 can be prevented from shaking, noise is reduced, and the assembly stability between the rear decorative strip 30 and the panel frame 10 is further improved.

Fig. 12 is a schematic structural view of a part of the structure of a rear molding according to one embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, a notch 341 is formed at a position of the first front flange 34 corresponding to the light emitting device 50, so that light emitted by the light emitting device 50 can be irradiated to the glass 20 through the notch 341. Specifically, the rear molding 30 and the panel frame 10 can be made of aluminum, which is opaque, so that the gap 341 can allow the light emitted from the light emitting device 50 to irradiate the glass 20.

In some embodiments, the lighting device 50 includes a lamp panel 51 and a lamp bead 52 installed below the lamp panel 51. The bead 52 may be exposed at the position of the gap 341 so as to emit light to the glass 20. The lamp panel 51 is set up on the first front flange 34.

The applicant recognizes that when the rear molding 30 or the panel frame 10 is subjected to an external force, the rear molding or the panel frame may deform, and when the deformation reaches a certain degree, the light-emitting device 50 may be pressed, and the bead 52 may contact the glass 20, or even be pressed by the glass 20 and the lamp panel 51, which may cause a risk of breakage. Therefore, a buffer piece 53 is further arranged below the lamp panel 51, the bottom of the buffer piece 53 abuts against the first front flanging 34 and/or the glass 20, and the height of the buffer piece 53 extending downwards from the lower surface of the lamp panel 51 is higher than the height of the lamp bead 52 extending downwards from the lower surface of the lamp panel 51. Therefore, when the light-emitting device 50 is extruded, the buffer member 53 can be in contact with the glass 20 or the first front flange 34 prior to the bead 52, so that a certain supporting effect is achieved, and the problem that the bead 52 is crushed due to extrusion is effectively avoided.

Further, the quantity of lamp pearl 52 is a plurality of, and a plurality of lamp pearls 52 distribute in the below of lamp plate 51 along horizontal interval ground. The number of the buffer members 53 is plural, and the plurality of buffer members 53 are distributed below the lamp panel 51 at intervals in the transverse direction. The beads 52 and the buffer 53 can be alternately arranged to achieve a better protection effect. A power cord 54 for supplying power to the light emitting device 50 may extend into the receiving groove 37 through one of the lateral sides of the panel frame 10 and be electrically connected with the light emitting device 50.

Specifically, since the lamp panel 51 is typically a PCB circuit board, solder pads and wires are disposed thereon. Therefore, it is not easy to attach a buffer such as a rubber pad to the lamp panel 51. Therefore, the buffer 53 of the present invention is preferably a capacitor, which can be simply assembled on the lamp panel 51, and has low price and low cost, and more importantly, the capacitor is usually a cylindrical component with a certain height, which can achieve a good protection effect. It should be noted that the capacitor is not connected to the circuit of the lamp panel 51, and does not play any electrical role.

Fig. 13 is a schematic enlarged view of a portion a in fig. 2. In some embodiments, the upper portions of the two lateral side frames 16 of the panel frame 10 are respectively provided with a limiting connection portion 161, and the two limiting connection portions 161 are respectively abutted against the two lateral ends of the rear molding 30 to limit the position of the rear molding 30. Each of the restricting links 161 is formed with a connecting hole 162 extending in the lateral direction, and the connecting hole 162 is used for a connecting member for fastening the front panel 1 and the drawer body 201 of the drawer 200 to pass through.

That is, the mounting position of the rear molding 30 can be pre-positioned by the restricting connection part 161, the position-finding mounting is facilitated, and the rear molding 30 can be prevented from being deviated to any side in the lateral direction due to vibration or uneven stress when the front panel 1 and the drawer body 201 are fastened by the connection member.

In some embodiments, the panel frame 10, including the panel frame 10, may include a top frame 14 at an upper portion, a bottom frame 15 at a lower portion, and two lateral side frames 16 connected between the top frame 14 and the bottom frame 15. The two lateral side frames 16 are respectively provided with a limiting portion 163 to limit the glass 20 between the two limiting portions 163. Thereby, the glass 20 can be prepositioned in the lateral direction.

Further, the front panel 1 further includes two fixing sleeves 60, and the two fixing sleeves 60 are configured to be respectively sleeved on the two limiting portions 163 after the glass 20 is assembled on the panel frame 10, so as to respectively abut against two lateral side edges of the glass 20, so that the glass 20 is clamped between the two fixing sleeves 60.

Applicants have recognized that to facilitate the installation of the glass 20, the lateral spacing between the two stops 163 needs to be greater than the width of the glass 20 in the lateral direction. Therefore, the two stoppers 163 can substantially restrict the position of the glass 20 only in the lateral direction, and cannot prevent the glass 20 from slightly moving in the lateral direction. For this reason, in the present application, after the glass 20 is assembled to the panel frame 10, one fixing sleeve 60 is respectively sleeved on each limiting portion 163, so that both lateral ends of the glass 20 are respectively abutted to the two fixing sleeves 60, and thus, the glass 20 can be strictly limited in the lateral direction by the two fixing sleeves 60, and the glass 20 is prevented from moving in the lateral direction relative to the panel frame 10. Meanwhile, the arrangement of the two fixing sleeves 60 can also reduce the rear decorative strips on the two transverse sides, and the rear decorative strips 30 can only have clamping and fixing effects on the top of the glass 20. That is, the cooperation of the two fixing sleeves 60 and the rear molding 30 can perform all-around limiting and positioning on the glass 20 in the up-down, front-back and left-right directions, thereby reducing the number of the rear molding 30 and simplifying the structure of the front panel 1.

Further, two limiting parts 163 may be respectively located at the middle parts of the two lateral side frames 16 in the vertical direction, so as to generate a uniform limiting effect on the glass 20 in the vertical direction.

Specifically, the securing sleeve 60 may be a rubber sleeve, a silicone sleeve, or other flexible structure that can function as a restraint.

In some embodiments, at least a portion of the periphery of the glass 20 is sleeved with a resilient cushioning strip 70. The elastic buffer strip 70 is fitted around the periphery of the glass 20 before the glass 20 is fitted to the panel frame 10, and is fitted to the rear side of the panel frame 10 together with the glass 20. Thus, the resilient bumper strip 70 can be at the interface between the glass 20 and the panel frame 10. When the panel frame 10 is deformed due to extreme conditions of extrusion or thermal expansion and contraction, the elastic buffer sleeve 70 can absorb part of the extrusion action to buffer the action force between the glass 20 and the panel frame 10, thereby preventing the glass 20 or the panel frame 10 from being damaged.

Specifically, the elastic buffer strip 70 may be a rubber strip, a silicone strip, or the like.

Further, the elastic buffer strip 70 may be provided with a notch at a position corresponding to the light emitting device 50 to prevent the light emitted from the light emitting device 50 from not being irradiated onto the glass 20.

The present invention also provides a drawer 200 for a refrigerator, the drawer 200 including a drawer body 201 and the front panel 1 described in any of the above embodiments. A storage space is defined in the drawer body 201, and the front panel 1 is disposed in front of the drawer body 201.
