Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator with a drawer, and more particularly to a refrigerator with a drawer which is suitable for storing articles.
  • a user can directly hold an upper end of a front wall of the drawer to push or pull the drawer.
  • WO2009/080483 discloses a refrigerator, which includes a storage compartment, a drawer-type container movably provided in the storage compartment, and a handle bar provided on the drawer-type container and connected to a front wall of the container in a forced cooperation manner through groove and spring connection. A user can push and pull the drawer from the front of the drawer.
  • WO2011/026747 also discloses a refrigerator with a drawer, a handle piece is connected on a front wall of the drawer, and a grip portion is provided above the drawer.
  • DE 10 2009 029 142 A1 discloses a cooling appliance having a body and a door, forming a thermal insulated storage room, a pull-out drawer, a plate and a cover, which covers the pull-out drawer in an inserted position, wherein a gripping strip is provided on the front wall of the pull-out drawer and protrudes upwardly in front of the plate.
  • the gripping strip has an engaging strip, which engages with the lower surface of the cover, when the pull-out drawer is in an inserted position.
  • the cover seals the pull-out drawer, when the cover engages with the engaging strip.
  • An object of the present invention is directed to provide a refrigerator capable of improving user experience and enhancing the cost efficiency.
  • An aspect of the present invention relates to a refrigerator.
  • the refrigerator includes a storage compartment and a drawer provided in the storage compartment, the drawer includes a front wall and a decorative strip connected to the front wall, and the decorative strip includes a decorative portion provided on a front side of the front wall.
  • the decorative strip includes a grip portion provided on a back side of the front wall and located inside the drawer, and the thickness of at least one part of the grip portion is greater than the thickness of a corresponding part of the decorative portion.
  • the grip portion with an increased thickness is provided on an inner side of the front wall of the drawer, user experience of holding the front wall of the drawer to push and pull the drawer can be greatly improved. Meanwhile, since the grip portion is directly provided on the decorative strip, the handle piece does not need to be additionally provided, and there is no need to provide a portion with an increased thickness and protruding inwardly or a protruding portion of other shapes on the front wall of the drawer, but instead the front wall can be remained as thin as other walls, which is advantageous for improving cost efficiency and fabrication of the drawer.
  • the decorative strip may extend along the entire width of the front wall or merely extend along a part of the width of the front wall.
  • the thickness of the grip portion and that of the decorative portion at a specific height indicate a distance between a front surface and a rear surface of the grip portion and a distance between a front surface and a rear surface of the decorative portion in a fore-and-aft direction at the height, respectively.
  • the thickness of the grip portion and/or decorative portion may be formed by the thickness of the wall of a corresponding portion.
  • the thickness of the grip portion and/or that of the decorative portion at least includes the thickness of the overlapping walls, and if the walls are spaced from each other in the fore-and-aft direction, the thickness of the grip portion and/or decorative portion should cover a gap(s) between the walls.
  • the thickness of the grip portion and that of the decorative portion may be substantially constant or variable.
  • the thickness of the decorative portion may be substantially constant in a longitudinal direction and/or a transverse direction, so that the front surface of the drawer is clean and neat, and the thickness of the grip portion may be variable in at least a part of the entire height or may also be constant.
  • the thickness of the grip portion may be greater than the thickness of the decorative portion at a corresponding height in the entire height range of the grip portion.
  • the thickness of the grip portion may be greater than the thickness of the decorative portion at the same height in merely a part of the height range (particularly the part often held by the user).
  • At least a section of the grip portion may have a thickness that gradually increases from the top down. This is especially convenient for a user to place fingers on the grip portion and improves user experience.
  • At least one cavity may exist between the rear surface of the grip portion and a rear surface of the front wall. This is advantageous for increasing a distance between the rear surface of the grip portion and the rear surface of the front wall.
  • the cavity may be closed or may be open on at least one side.
  • a cavity is provided within the grip portion. This is advantageous for significantly increasing the thickness of the grip portion, and by increasing the thickness of the grip portion through the cavity, a problem, that fabrication difficulty arises due to increase of the thickness of the wall of the grip portion to increase the thickness of the grip portion, can be avoided.
  • the at least one cavity may be formed between the rear surface of the front wall and the front surface of the grip portion.
  • the rear surface of the grip portion may be an oblique surface which is inclined backward from the top down. Therefore, it is convenient for a user to place fingers on the grip portion, and the user experience is improved.
  • the oblique surface may be a curved surface depressed toward the front wall. Therefore, the user experience may be further improved.
  • the grip portion includes at least two walls, and the at least two walls are spaced from each other in a fore-and-aft direction.
  • the grip portion may include two or three walls that are spaced from each other in a fore-and-aft direction, and in addition to the thickness of the walls, the thickness of the grip portion may be further increased through a gap(s) between the walls.
  • the at least two walls include a first wall obliquely extending along the entire height of the grip portion and a second wall connected to a lower surface of a middle area of the first wall and substantially extending downward vertically, and the second wall and a lower section of the first wall are spaced from each other.
  • an acute angle is formed between the second wall and the lower section of the first wall.
  • the at least two walls may be parallel.
  • two walls may substantially extend in a vertical direction, upper ends and lower ends of the two walls may be connected by different horizontal walls respectively, and the grip portion may have a cross section in a substantially rectangular frame shape.
  • the grip portion includes a bottom wall connecting the lower ends of the at least two walls, and the bottom wall and the at least two walls define a cavity with two open ends.
