In one or more embodiments, at least one of the first side wall and the second side wall is inclined toward a direction approaching the other in the entire extending direction thereof.

In one or more embodiments, at least one of the first side wall and the second side wall forms an included angle with the front surface of the door, and the included angle has a value in a range of: alpha is more than or equal to 2 degrees and less than or equal to 15 degrees.

In one or more embodiments, at least one of the first side wall and the second side wall forms an included angle with the front surface of the door, and the included angle has a value in a range of: alpha is more than or equal to 7 degrees and less than or equal to 8 degrees. Therefore, in the process of mounting the handle body, the convex part slides along one direction and can smoothly enter the chute. On the other hand, the convex part entering the chute can be stably stopped at the stop part in the front-back direction, and even if the handle body receives pulling force when opening the door, the convex part is not easy to separate from the chute. If the included angle is too large, the convex part easily slides out of the chute when the handle body is pulled. Even if the handle seat is fixed by the fixing piece, the fixing piece is influenced by component force of pulling force, and the handle assembly is easy to loosen in the long term.

In one or more embodiments, the fixing base is integrally formed with one of the handle bases with the stopper, and the fixing base is integrally formed with the other of the handle bases with the boss.

In one or more embodiments, the protrusion includes a cavity.

In one or more embodiments, the stopper has a dimension in the front-rear direction that is greater than the chute.

The present application will be described with respect to a case in which a home appliance is a refrigerator.

For convenience of description, in the present embodiment, the width direction of the door 1 of the refrigerator is referred to as an x-direction, the front-rear direction of the door 1 is referred to as a y-direction, and the height direction of the door 1 is referred to as a z-direction. In this embodiment, the front-rear direction refers to the y direction and the reverse direction thereof, wherein the front direction refers to the direction facing the user when the refrigerator is in use, the rear direction refers to the direction facing away from the user when the refrigerator is in use, the upper direction refers to the z direction along the drawing, and the lower direction refers to the reverse direction of the z direction along the drawing.

Referring to fig. 4 to 9, fig. 4 is a perspective view of a fixing seat according to an embodiment of the present application; FIG. 5 is a side view of a holder according to an embodiment of the present application; FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a handle base according to an embodiment of the present application; FIG. 7 is a partial cross-sectional view of a handle assembly of an embodiment of the present application as the handle base approaches the mounting base; FIG. 8 is a partial cross-sectional view of a handle assembly according to one embodiment of the present application as the handle seat is abutted against the front surface of the door; FIG. 9 is a partial cross-sectional view of a handle assembly according to one embodiment of the present application as a boss slides into a chute during installation.

In this embodiment, the door 1 of the refrigerator includes a metal door panel 100. The front-facing surface of the metal door panel 100 defines the front surface 1a of the door 1. The handle body 20 is made of metal, for example, aluminum alloy. The handle body 20 is constructed as a rod-like member. Thus, the handle body 20 protrudes from the door 1 in a use state of the refrigerator to form an external handle.

The fixing base 10 of the present embodiment is a plastic member formed by injection molding. The handle base 30 is also a plastic piece formed by injection molding. This may reduce the scratch of the metal door panel 100 by the handle base 30. The handle holder 30 has a receiving chamber 300 for receiving the fixing base 10.

The handle assembly 2 comprises a first connector 21, the first connector 21 being used to secure the fixing base 10 to the door 1. The first connecting member 21 of the present embodiment is a screw. Specifically, the fixing base 10 is positioned in one-to-one correspondence with the positioning holes 103 on the metal door panel 100 through the positioning protrusions 110 provided thereon. The first connector 21 then passes through the fixing base 10 and is connected to the first connection hole 102 of the door 1. In order to enhance the coupling strength of the fixing base, an inner surface 1b of the metal door panel 100 facing away from the front surface 1a of the door 1 is provided with a metal reinforcement 101 (shown in fig. 7), and the first coupling member 21 is coupled to the metal reinforcement 101.

The handle assembly 2 includes a second connector 22, the second connector 22 being used to secure the handle base 30 to the handle body 20. The second connector 22 of the present embodiment is a screw. The second connecting member 22 is connected to one end of the handle body 20 through a second connecting hole 320 formed in the handle base 30. The handle base 30 is connected to both ends of the handle body 20 of the present embodiment.

The fixing base 10 includes a stopper 11 and a chute 12 (shown in fig. 7 to 9) adjacent to the stopper 11 in the front-rear direction y. The handle holder 30 includes a boss 31. The chute 12 is configured and adapted such that the protrusion 31 slides into the chute 12 and stops against the stop 11 to prevent the handle seat 30 from being disengaged from the door 1 in the front-rear direction y.

As shown in fig. 8, when the handle seat 30 abuts against the front surface 1a of the door 1, the movement of the handle body 20 in the longitudinal direction of the door 1 can slide the protrusion 31 into the chute 12.

The chute 12 of the present embodiment is configured to allow the protrusion 31 to slide into the chute 12 and rest on the side wall of the chute 12. Thus, the side wall of the chute 12 can prevent the protrusion 31 from coming out of the chute 12 in a direction into the chute 12.

As shown in fig. 7 to 9, the dimension w of the chute 12 in the front-rear direction y gradually decreases in the direction h along which the projection 31 enters the chute 12. Thus, the operation of sliding the convex portion 31 into the chute 12 can be achieved by the installer moving the handle body 20 in one direction by hand without the aid of a tool such as a hammer.

In general, in a household appliance, a structure which needs to be installed by a user cannot be complicated in installation steps, and it is preferable that tools not be used. The scheme of the embodiment is simple in installation steps, and a user can operate the scheme by hands completely.

In the direction h along which the projection 31 enters the chute 1, the dimension of the projection 31 in the front-rear direction y is correspondingly gradually reduced.

The holder 10 has a substantially rectangular outer contour. As shown in fig. 4, the holder 10 includes left and right side surfaces 10a and an upward top surface 10a and a downward bottom surface. The stopper 11 is integrally formed on the fixing base 10. Further, the stopper 11 protrudes from the side surface 10a on the side where it is located. Fig. 4 shows that two stop portions 11 are provided on one of the side surfaces 10a of the fixing base 10, the two stop portions 11 being arranged at intervals along the height direction z of the door 1. It is easy to understand that the other side surface of the holder 10 opposite thereto is also provided with two stops 11 accordingly.

Since the stopper 11 is integrally formed on the fixing base 10 during the injection molding process of the fixing base 10, the stopper 11 has a cavity 111 to reduce the shrinkage or deformation of the surface during the manufacturing process.

In order to enhance the strength of the stopper, the stopper 11 of the present embodiment has a larger dimension in the front-rear direction y than the chute 12.

The protruding portion 31 is integrally formed with the handle holder 30. As shown in fig. 6, since the protrusion 31 is integrally formed at the handle base 20 during injection molding of the handle base 20, the protrusion 31 includes a cavity 310 in order to reduce surface shrinkage or deformation of the protrusion 31 during manufacturing.

The dimension of the stopper 11 in the direction h along the protrusion 31 into the chute 12 of the present embodiment corresponds to the protrusion 31. Accordingly, the projection 31 has a shape adapted to the chute 12.

As shown in fig. 7 to 9, the chute 12 of the present embodiment includes a first side wall 121 and a second side wall 122 disposed opposite to each other. Wherein, as shown in fig. 4, the first sidewall 121 is located at the stop portion 11. At least one of the first side wall 121 and the second side wall 122 is inclined toward the direction approaching the other in the direction along the projection 31 into the chute 12. Note that, the direction of the protrusion 31 entering the chute 12 in the present embodiment is from top to bottom, and is denoted by h in fig. 8.

The second side wall 122 of the chute 12 of the present embodiment is formed by the front surface 1a of the door 1. That is, a portion of the metal door panel 100 forms one of the side walls of the chute 12, i.e., the second side wall 122.

As shown in fig. 7 to 9, in the direction h along which the convex portion 31 enters the chute 12, the first side wall 121 is inclined toward the direction approaching the second side wall 122. The second side wall 122 extends along the front surface 1a of the door 1. Also, the first side wall 121 is inclined to extend in the entire extending direction thereof, i.e., inclined toward a direction approaching the second side wall 122.

The first side wall 121 of the present embodiment forms an angle α with the front surface 1a of the door 1, and the angle α is in the range of 7 ° or more and 8 ° or less.

Referring now to fig. 7 to 9, the process of assembling the handle assembly of the present embodiment will be described in detail.

First, the handle body 20 to which the handle holder 30 is fixed is brought close to the front surface 1a of the door 1 in the direction opposite to the y-direction.

Specifically, the bottom of the handle seat 30 may be abutted against the bottom of the fixing seat 10, so as to realize alignment of the two, and the protrusion 31 is staggered with the stop portion 11.

As shown in fig. 8, when the handle seat 30 is abutted against the front surface 1a of the door 1, the handle body 20 is moved downward in the opposite direction to the z-direction, and the protrusion 31 slides into the chute 12 until the protrusion 31 is stopped at the side wall of the chute 12, i.e., at the first side wall 121. At this time, the protrusion 31 is stopped against the stopper 11 in the front-rear direction, i.e., the y-direction, thereby preventing the handle holder 30 from being separated from the fixed base 10, and further preventing the handle holder 30 from being separated from the door 1 in the front-rear direction.

Then, the third connecting piece 23 is connected to the fixing base 10 through the handle base 30. Referring to fig. 4, a side surface 10a and a top surface 110b of the fixing base 10 of the present embodiment are provided with a third connecting hole 130. The third connecting member 23 in this embodiment is a screw. The handle body 20 of the present embodiment extends along the height direction z of the door 1, that is, when the door 1 is mounted with a vertical handle, the third connecting piece 23 is connected to the third connecting hole 130 at the top surface 10b of the fixing base 10 through the top wall of one handle seat 30 located above. For the handle body 20 having a long length extending in the height direction z of the door 1, it is difficult for a general user's sight line to reach the top wall of the handle seat 30, thereby contributing to the appearance of the door 1.

Of course, in other embodiments, the handle body 20 extends along the width direction x of the door 1, that is, when the door 1 is mounted with a horizontal handle, the third connecting piece 23 is connected to the third connecting hole 130 at one side surface 10a of the fixing base 10 through one side wall (downward at this time) of one handle seat 30 at the left side after the boss 31 slides into the chute 12. Since, in this embodiment, the handle body 20 is extended in the width direction x of the door 1, the end surface of the third link 23 is located at the downward surface of the handle holder 30, which is not easily noticed at the time of normal use of the refrigerator, which is advantageous in obtaining a more beautiful refrigerator. It can be seen that the fixing base 10 of the present embodiment can be commonly used regardless of whether the household appliance is mounted with the handle body 20 extending horizontally or vertically.

The solution of this embodiment can be to first mount the fixing base 10 on the door 1 and the handle base 30 on the handle body 20 at the refrigerator manufacturer. The handle body 20 with the handle holder 30 installed is placed in a package of the refrigerator, and is installed by a user after the refrigerator is transported to the user's home, or is installed by an after-sales person to the door. Thus, the size of the refrigerator package can be reduced, and the refrigerator package is more beneficial to transportation and storage of the refrigerator. And the refrigerator can smoothly pass through the elevator door or the door in the home of the user in the transportation process of the refrigerator.

The above is a description of one of the embodiments of the present application, in which the household appliance is a refrigerator.

The home appliance in the above-described embodiment and some other embodiments may include a main body defining at least one chamber and a door 1 mounted to the main body to open or close the chamber. The household appliances in other embodiments are not limited to refrigerators, but may be one of a wine cabinet, a dish washer, an oven, a steam box, a steaming and baking all-in-one machine, a microwave oven, and a micro-steaming and baking all-in-one machine.

It should be noted that the present application is capable of many other embodiments and modifications and combinations. For example, in another embodiment of the present application, the second side wall 122 of the chute 12 is formed on the fixing base 10. The second side wall 122 is formed while integrally forming the fixing base 10. The second side wall 122 protrudes from the side surface 10a of the fixing base 10 at the side. In this embodiment, both the first side wall 121 and the second side wall 122 are inclined toward each other in the direction h along which the protrusion 31 enters the chute 12.

For another example, in another embodiment, the first side wall 121 is located at the stopper 11, and the first side wall 121 extends in a direction parallel to the front surface 1a of the door 1. The second sidewall 122 is integrally formed on the fixing base 10, and the second sidewall 122 protrudes from the side surface 10a of the side. The second side wall 122 is inclined toward a direction approaching the first side wall 121 in a direction along the projection 31 into the chute 12.

For example, in another embodiment of the present application, the handle holder 30 includes a stopper portion and a chute adjacent to the stopper portion in the front-rear direction y. The fixing base 10 includes a convex portion. The sliding groove located at the handle holder 30 is configured to be adapted to slide the protrusion of the fixing base 10 into the sliding groove and to be stopped at the stopper, thereby preventing the handle holder 30 from being separated from the door 1 in the front-rear direction y. In this embodiment, at least one of the first side wall and the second side wall of the chute is inclined toward a direction approaching the other in a direction along which the convex portion enters the chute.

In various embodiments of the present application, the first sidewall 121 forms an angle α with the front surface 1a of the door 1, and the angle α may be in the range of 2 ° +.α.ltoreq.15°.

The various embodiments of the individual components described in connection with fig. 1-9 may be combined with each other in any given manner to achieve the advantages of the present application.

The present application has been described with respect to the above-described embodiments, however, the above-described embodiments are merely examples of implementation of the present application. It should be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of the application. On the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the utility model.
