It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

It is first pointed out that the directional terms used herein refer to the normal use of the refrigerator for the sake of convenience of description and are not to be understood as an absolute definition of the corresponding features.

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a door 1 of a refrigerator from the side and from the rear, wherein the interior 2 and the door panel 3 together enclose an accommodating space (not visible in fig. 1) in which a thermally insulating layer, in particular a thermally insulating foaming agent, is arranged. On the inner container 2 can be provided an accessory 4, for example a seal fitted on the inner wall of the door 1 of the refrigerator or a carrier for fixing the seal, etc., and also a reinforcement, for example a reinforcing iron, which can be fitted on the outer or inner side wall of the inner container 2, typically on the inner side wall of the inner container 2. Note that the inner sidewall of the inner container 2 corresponds to a side facing the heat insulating layer, and the outer sidewall of the inner container 2 corresponds to a side facing the storage chamber of the refrigerator.

Fig. 2 shows an enlarged detail of the attachment 4 from fig. 1, showing that the attachment 4 is in the form of a strip, which may be a sheet metal strip, for example, which can serve in particular as a reinforcement or reinforcing iron. Two fastening elements 5 in the form of screws are visible on the attachment 4, leaving in the middle a fastening hole 6 of the attachment 4 without fastening elements.

Fig. 3 shows a close-up view of the attachment 4 of fig. 2. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1-3, the attachment 4 and the porous fixing member 8 are respectively arranged on both sides of the liner 2, i.e. the attachment 4 is arranged on the outer side wall of the liner 2 and the porous fixing member 8 is arranged on the inner side wall of the liner (the porous fixing member 8 is not visible in fig. 1-3). It is also possible for the attachment 4 and the perforated holder 8 to be arranged on the same side of the interior of the.

In fig. 3, the positioning part 7 and the depressions 9 arranged on the upper and lower sides of the positioning part 7 on the inner container 2 can be seen, and for the sake of brevity, only the depressions 9 on the upper and lower sides of the central positioning part 7 are indicated. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the depression 9 is depressed in the direction of the porous fastening element 8, so that an abutment surface 10 (see fig. 4) with the porous fastening element 8 is formed. The depression 9 can be configured, in addition to the form shown in fig. 3, as a ring which surrounds the positioning part 7. Furthermore, fig. 3 also shows a depression profile 11 corresponding to the outer contour of the attachment 4, the depression depth of which depression profile 11 preferably corresponds to the thickness of the main body of the attachment 4, i.e. preferably corresponds to the thickness of the strip-shaped attachment 4 shown in fig. 2. This results in the attachment 4 having a body part which, in the mounted state, does not exceed the main plane of the outer side wall of the inner container 2.

Fig. 4 shows a partial enlargement of the attachment 4 from fig. 2 and 3 from the perspective of the inner side wall of the inner container 2. In fig. 4, the depressions 9 and the contact surfaces 10 formed on the depressions 9 are visible, only the central depression 9 and the contact surface 10 located thereon being indicated for the sake of clarity. In addition, two porous anchors 8 are shown in FIG. 4. The porous fixing element 8 can be bonded to the inner wall of the liner 2, for example, by an adhesive layer, and in the present embodiment, the porous fixing element 8 is adhered to the adhesion surface 10.

Figure 5 shows a cross-sectional view of the liner at attachment 4 of figures 2-4, partially along line B-B. Three porous fixtures 8 and two fasteners 5 configured as screws are visible in fig. 5 (the central porous fixture 8 is not provided with a fastener 5). In addition, the mounted attachment 4 and the fastening holes 6 located thereon are visible in the left part of fig. 5.

Figure 6 shows an enlarged view of one of the porous anchors 8 with the fastener 5 installed in the cross-sectional view of figure 5. As can be seen from fig. 5 and 6, in the present embodiment, the accessories 4 and the porous fixing members 8 are respectively located on two sides of the inner container 2, wherein the accessories 4 are located on the outer side wall of the inner container 2, and the porous fixing members 8 are located on the inner side wall of the inner container 2. The porous fixing member 8 is engaged with the inner side wall of the inner container 2 by an adhesive layer, and in fig. 6, the porous fixing member 8 is stuck on the sticking face 10, thereby making the positioning portion 7 configured in a conical shape not to apply a force to the porous fixing member 8, avoiding a collision with the positioning portion 7 when sticking the porous fixing member 8, and also advantageously increasing the sticking area.

In addition to the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the attachment 4 and the perforated mount 8 can also be arranged on the same side of the interior container 2, for example, the attachment 4 rests on the contact surface 10 of the depression 9 between the perforated mount 8 and the interior container 2, which is particularly advantageous when the attachment 4 is embodied as a strip-shaped reinforcing iron.

It is also conceivable, in the case of an attachment 4 which does not comprise a reinforcement, for example, for the attachment 4 to be configured as a seal carrier to be arranged on the outer side wall of the liner 2, opposite which the porous fixing 8 is arranged on the inner side wall of the liner 2. In this case, the reinforcement can advantageously be dispensed with, the fastening means 5 and the perforated fixing means 8 being used to fix the sealing element carrier to the inner container 2 and the sealing element being then fixed to this sealing element carrier, for example by snapping, so that the sealing element is mounted on the inner container 2.

Although specific embodiments have been described above, these embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure, even if only a single embodiment is described with respect to a particular feature. The examples of features provided in the present disclosure are intended to be illustrative, not limiting, unless expressly stated otherwise. In the specific implementation, a plurality of features can be combined with each other according to actual needs, where technically feasible. Various substitutions, alterations, and modifications may be devised without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
