Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to the field of household appliances, and in particular, to a drawer assembly for a refrigeration appliance and a corresponding refrigeration appliance.
- In recent years, with the development of society and the improvement of living standards, household refrigeration appliances, particularly refrigerators, have played an important role in people's daily lives, and users put forward increasing requirements on appearance, safety and service life of the refrigeration appliances.
- In an existing refrigeration appliance, based on considerations of factors such as textures and functions, a drawer of the refrigeration appliance is generally constructed in a split way, that is, a drawer body and a drawer panel of the drawer are constructed separately by different materials. Herein, the drawer body and the drawer panel are assembled together by a connection structure, for example a buckle connection structure. However, during long-time use of the refrigeration appliance, particularly when the drawer panel is disassembled and assembled or the drawer is pulled with a large force, the connection structure is prone to cracking, which may affect normal use of the drawer, or may even lead to a safety problem caused by dropping of the drawer.
- Therefore, an objective of the present invention is to provide an improved drawer assembly for a refrigeration appliance, so that the drawer assembly can increase connection strength between a drawer panel and a drawer body and ensure reliable assembly of the drawer panel and the drawer body during use of the refrigeration appliance.
- According to a first aspect of the present invention, a drawer assembly for a refrigeration appliance is provided, including at least:
- a drawer body, where the drawer body has a front surface and two opposite side walls defining a width of the drawer body; and
- a drawer panel, where the drawer panel is assembled on the front surface of the drawer body.
- The drawer body is provided with a first receiving cavity on the side walls, the first receiving cavity is bounded by a first cavity wall and a second cavity wall, the second cavity wall is closer to the front surface than the first cavity wall, the drawer panel is provided with a first protruded portion, and the first protruded portion is configured to be inserted into the first receiving cavity. The side walls are provided with a reinforcing portion, and the reinforcing portion forms at least one cavity structure with the second cavity wall.
- In an existing refrigeration appliance, a slot is generally provided in a drawer body of a drawer, and a buckle is provided in the drawer panel. The slot is bounded only by a surrounding wall, and strength of the wall is relatively low and the wall is prone to cracking under the action of an external force during assembly, disassembly, and draw of the drawer, causing cracking of the slot, and affecting normal use of the drawer.
- Unlike the prior art, in the drawer assembly for a refrigeration appliance according to the present invention, the first protruded portion of the drawer panel is inserted into the first receiving cavity of the drawer body and the first cavity wall and the second cavity wall of the first receiving cavity stop the first protruded portion in a depth direction or a motion direction of the drawer assembly, thereby implementing fixed assembly between the drawer panel and the drawer body. By providing the reinforcing portion forming the cavity structure with the second cavity wall, the external force acting on the first receiving cavity, particularly the second cavity wall during assembly, disassembly, and draw of the drawer assembly can be effectively transferred to the side walls of the drawer body or even the entire drawer body, to significantly increase strength of the second cavity wall and preventing the first receiving cavity from cracking, thereby ensuring reliable assembly between the drawer panel and the drawer body.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in an assembled state, the first protruded portion is separately in contact with the first cavity wall and the second cavity wall. In this embodiment, it is helpful to prevent the drawer panel from shaking obviously and noise generated by the shaking during draw of the drawer assembly, which can improve operating experience of a user for the drawer assembly.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcing portion and the second cavity wall form a second protruded portion with a cavity structure, the drawer panel is provided with a second receiving cavity, and the second receiving cavity is configured to receive the second protruded portion. The second receiving cavity is partially bounded by the first protruded portion; and/or a shape of the reinforcing portion is adapted to a shape of a portion of the drawer panel adjacent to the reinforcing portion. Therefore, strength of the first protruded portion can be increased and assembly reliability between the drawer panel and the drawer body can be further improved.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the first protruded portion is inserted into the first receiving cavity, the second protruded portion enters and is accommodated in the second receiving cavity.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first receiving cavity opens upward in a height direction; and/or the first cavity wall has a first tilt portion tilting toward the front surface from top to bottom in the height direction and a first stop portion that is vertically oriented; and/or the second cavity wall has a second tilt portion tilting toward the front surface from top to bottom in the height direction and a second stop portion that is vertically oriented; and/or the first protruded portion is vertically oriented in the height direction in an assembled state of the drawer body and the drawer panel; and/or the second cavity wall is lower than the first cavity wall in the height direction; and/or the first protruded portion is connected to an upper portion of the drawer panel through a platform portion, and the platform portion is configured to be located above the second cavity wall and flush with an upper surface of the drawer body in the assembled state of the drawer body and the drawer panel; and/or the first receiving cavity and the second protruded portion are constructed as an integrated structure; and/or the first protruded portion and the second receiving cavity are constructed as an integrated structure; and/or the first cavity wall partially bounds another cavity structure adjacent to the first receiving cavity.
- Therefore, the upper surface of the drawer body can be maintained horizontal and a protrusion can be avoided, so that the drawer body is in sealing fit with other structures of the drawer assembly, particularly a moisturizing cover plate. In addition, the assembly between the drawer panel and the drawer body can also be simplified.
- The first receiving cavity and the second protruded portion are constructed as an integrated structure; and/or the first protruded portion and the second receiving cavity are constructed as an integrated structure, which can help manufacture of the drawer assembly, particularly when the drawer body is manufactured by using a mold through an injection molding process. In addition, the foregoing improvement helps to disperse a force at a joint of the drawer panel and the drawer body more during use of the drawer assembly, thereby further increasing connection strength between the drawer panel and the drawer body.
- The first cavity wall partially bounds another cavity structure adjacent to the first receiving cavity. When the drawer assembly is pushed, a force applied to the first cavity wall may be dispersed to the another cavity structure adjacent the first receiving cavity, so that the first cavity wall is not prone to damage during use of the drawer assembly.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first protruded portion is located at the upper portion of the drawer panel, a lower portion of the drawer panel has a structure protruding from a main plate of the drawer panel toward a direction of the drawer body and connected to the drawer body, so that the drawer panel makes the first protruded portion enter the first receiving cavity along the first tilt portion in a tilt posture. Therefore, in this solution, both the upper portion and the lower portion of the drawer panel are connected to the drawer body, which helps to increase stability and strength of the connection between the drawer panel and the drawer body. The first tilt portion can guide the first protruded portion to enter the first receiving cavity, thereby guiding smooth assembly of the drawer panel and the drawer body.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, one of the drawer body and the drawer panel is provided with a buckle protrusion, the other is provided with a buckle groove corresponding to the buckle protrusion, and the buckle protrusion or the buckle groove is provided particularly at the lower portion of the drawer panel in the height direction.

- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the drawer panel is provided with an anti-flip structure at a bottom in the height direction, and the anti-flip structure includes a bottom plate and an anti-flip protrusion and is configured to fit with a structured portion of the drawer body. Therefore, the drawer panel can be prevented from flipping and the assembly reliability between the drawer panel and the drawer body can be further improved.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the drawer body has a guiding portion, and the guiding portion is configured to come into contact with side edges of the drawer panel and guide motion of the drawer panel during assembly. Therefore, an assembly process between the drawer panel and the drawer body, particularly a process of guiding the first protruded portion to enter the first receiving cavity, can be simplified.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the guiding portion is parallel to the first tilt portion of the first cavity wall, and the first tilt portion tilts toward the front surface from top to bottom in the height direction. Therefore, during assembly, the drawer panel and the guiding portion keep moving in a contact manner, which can guide the first protruded portion to come into contact with the first tilt portion to smoothly enter the first receiving cavity.
- Another cavity structure is formed between the guiding portion and the first cavity wall, and the guiding portion partially bounds the cavity structure. A force applied to the first cavity wall during pushing of the drawer assembly may be dispersed to the entire cavity structure, thereby greatly reducing a possibility of the first cavity wall being damaged during use of the drawer assembly.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the upper portion of the drawer panel is constructed into an arc shape or a flat plate shape; and/or a grip portion is provided at the upper portion of the drawer panel; and/or the drawer panel is integrally formed by a polypropylene material or a polystyrene material through an injection molding process. Therefore, the drawer panel can be manufactured flexibly at favorable costs.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the drawer assembly further includes a drawer trim, and the drawer trim is assembled on the upper portion of the drawer panel. Therefore, appearance and touch texture of the drawer panel can be improved.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the drawer assembly further includes a drawer trim, the drawer panel is provided with a plurality of support ribs for supporting the drawer trim, and the support ribs extend backward in a depth direction from the drawer panel and are evenly spaced apart from each other in a width direction; and/or the drawer panel is provided with two lateral support ribs, and the lateral support ribs respectively extend inward in the width direction from the side edges of the drawer panel. Therefore, support strength of the drawer panel for the drawer trim can be increased and deformation of the drawer trim can be prevented.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the drawer assembly further includes a drawer trim, the drawer panel is provided with a transverse rib, the transverse rib extends in a width direction between two side edges of the drawer panel; and/or the drawer trim is provided with a first buckle portion on a front side in a depth direction, and the first buckle portion fits with an inner recessed portion of the drawer panel; and/or the drawer trim is provided with a second buckle portion on a rear side in the depth direction, and the second buckle portion fits with the transverse rib of the drawer panel.

FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional view of adrawer assembly 1 of a refrigeration appliance according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of thedrawer assembly 1 of a refrigeration appliance according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , thedrawer assembly 1 includes adrawer body 10, adrawer panel 20, and amoisturizing cover plate 30, through which a storage space of the drawer assembly 100 is formed. Herein, thedrawer assembly 1 is received in a storage compartment of the refrigeration appliance in a drawable manner. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thedrawer body 10 has afront surface 101, twoopposite side walls 102 defining a width of thedrawer body 10 in a width direction X, and anupper surface 103. Thedrawer body 10 may be provided with a cover plate or an opening at thefront surface 101. Herein, themoisturizing cover plate 30 of thedrawer assembly 1 adheres to theupper surface 103 of thedrawer body 10 and forms a moisturizing space in thedrawer body 10. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thedrawer panel 20 is divided into anupper portion 201 and alower portion 202 in a height direction Z The upper portion exceeds thefront surface 101 of thedrawer body 10 in the height direction Z, and the lower portion overlaps thefront surface 101 of thedrawer body 10 in the height direction Z. Herein, thedrawer panel 20 is fixedly assembled on thefront surface 101 of thedrawer body 10, and when a user draws thedrawer panel 20 in a depth direction Y, thedrawer panel 20 drives thedrawer body 10 to move in the depth direction Y A first protrudedportion 203 of thedrawer panel 20 is inserted into a first receivingcavity 104 of thedrawer body 10, as shown in part A. For details, refer to the following. -
FIG. 3 is a detailed view of part A inFIG. 2 . - As shown in
FIG. 3 , thedrawer body 10 is provided with the first receivingcavity 104 on the twoside walls 102, the first receiving cavity is bounded by afirst cavity wall 105 and asecond cavity wall 106. and thesecond cavity wall 106 is closer to thefront surface 101 of thedrawer body 10 than thefirst cavity wall 105. Thedrawer panel 20 is provided with the first protrudedportion 203, and the first protruded portion is inserted into the first receivingcavity 104. When thedrawer panel 20 is pushed backward in the depth direction Y, the first protrudedportion 203 of thedrawer panel 20 stops on thefirst cavity wall 105 and transfers a push force to thefirst cavity wall 105, thereby driving thedrawer body 10 to be pushed backward into the storage compartment of the refrigeration appliance in the depth direction Y. When thedrawer panel 20 is pulled forward in the depth direction Y, the first protrudedportion 203 of thedrawer panel 20 stops on thesecond cavity wall 106 and transfers a pull force to thesecond cavity wall 106, thereby driving thedrawer body 10 to be pulled out of the storage compartment of the refrigeration appliance in the depth direction Y. Herein, thedrawer body 10 is further provided with a reinforcingportion 107 at theside walls 102, and the reinforcing portion and thesecond cavity wall 106 form at least one cavity structure. However, it may alternatively be considered that the reinforcingportion 107 and thesecond cavity wall 106 form a plurality of cavity structures arranged side by side. Therefore, a force applied to thesecond cavity wall 106 through the first protrudedportion 203 is transferred onto the reinforcingportion 107, thereby sharing load of thesecond cavity wall 106 and correspondingly increasing bearing strength of the first receivingcavity 104. In addition, the cavity structure formed by the reinforcingportion 107 and thesecond cavity wall 106 provides cushioning for the force applied to thesecond cavity wall 106, thereby further preventing thesecond cavity wall 106 from cracking under the action of an external force. - For example, in an assembled state, the first protruded
portion 203 is separately in contact with thefirst cavity wall 105 and thesecond cavity wall 106. Therefore, the drawer panel can be prevented from shaking and generating noise when the drawer assembly is drawn, thereby improving the user experience. - For example, the
second cavity wall 106 and the reinforcingportion 107 form a second protrudedportion 108 with a cavity structure, and thedrawer panel 20 is provided with asecond receiving cavity 204. The second receiving cavity can receive the second protrudedportion 108, and the second receivingcavity 204 is partially bounded on one side by the first protrudedportion 203 and bounded on the other side by, for example, theupper portion 201 of thedrawer panel 20. When the first protrudedportion 203 is inserted into the first receivingcavity 104, the second protrudedportion 108 is correspondingly inserted into the second receivingcavity 204. Herein, when thedrawer panel 20 is pushed or pulled, the push force or pull force in the depth direction Y applied to the first protrudedportion 203 is transferred to the second receivingcavity 204 of thedrawer panel 20, which correspondingly increases bearing strength of the first protrudedportion 203. Herein, a shape of the reinforcingportion 107 is adapted to a shape of a portion of thedrawer panel 20 adjacent to the reinforcingportion 107, so that the second protrudedportion 108 can be easily inserted into the second receivingcavity 204. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , the first receivingcavity 104 opens upward in the height direction Z. Therefore, on one hand, theupper surface 103 of thedrawer body 10 in the assembled state can be flat and the first protrudedportion 203 can be prevented from protruding from theupper surface 103 of thedrawer body 10, thereby implementing sealed bonding between themoisturizing cover plate 30 adhering to theupper surface 103 and thedrawer body 10. On the other hand, insertion of the first protrudedportion 203 into the first receivingcavity 104 can be simplified, thereby simplifying the assembly between thedrawer panel 20 and thedrawer body 10. - For example, the
first cavity wall 105 has afirst tilt portion 1051 tilting toward the front surface (101) from top to bottom in the height direction (Z) and a first stop portion (1052) that is vertically oriented; and thesecond cavity wall 106 has asecond tilt portion 1061 tilting toward the front surface (101) from top to bottom in the height direction (Z) and a second stop portion (1062) that is vertically oriented. Herein, insertion of the first protrudedportion 203 into the first receivingcavity 104 can be simplified by thefirst tilt portion 1051 and thesecond tilt portion 1061, and fixing of the first protrudedportion 203 relative to the first receivingcavity 104 in the depth direction Y can be implemented by thefirst stop portion 1052 and thesecond stop portion 1062. - For example, the
second cavity wall 106 is lower than thefirst cavity wall 105 in the height direction Z, thereby also simplifying insertion of the first protrudedportion 203 into the first receivingcavity 104. It may be considered herein that the first protrudedportion 203 is connected to theupper portion 201 of thedrawer panel 20 through aplatform portion 205, and the platform portion is located above thesecond cavity wall 106 and flush with theupper surface 103 of thedrawer body 10 in the assembled state of thedrawer body 10 and thedrawer panel 20. Therefore, the upper surface of thedrawer assembly 1 can be flat overall in the assembled state, thereby implementing the sealed bonding between themoisturizing cover plate 30 and thedrawer body 10. - For example, the first receiving
cavity 104 and the second protrudedportion 108 are constructed into an integrated structure, and the first protrudedportion 203 and the second receivingcavity 204 are constructed into an integrated structure, thereby implementing manufacture of the drawer assembly, particularly by using a mold through an injection molding process, and helping to disperse a force at a joint of the drawer panel and the drawer body more during use of the drawer assembly, thereby further increasing connection strength between the drawer panel and the drawer body. -
FIG. 4 is a three-dimensional view of thedrawer assembly 1 of a refrigeration appliance according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - Herein, the first protruded
portion 203 is located on theupper portion 201 of thedrawer panel 20, and thelower portion 202 of thedrawer panel 20 has a structure protruding from amain plate 214 of thedrawer panel 20 in a direction toward thedrawer body 10 and connected to thedrawer body 10, so that thedrawer panel 20 can make the first protrudedportion 203 enter the first receivingcavity 104 along thefirst tilt portion 1051 in a tilt posture. Therefore, both theupper portion 201 and thelower portion 202 of thedrawer panel 20 are connected to thedrawer body 10, helping to increase stability and strength of connection between thedrawer panel 20 and thedrawer body 10. Thefirst tilt portion 1051 can guide the first protrudedportion 203 to enter the first receivingcavity 104, thereby guiding smooth assembly of thedrawer panel 20 and thedrawer body 10. - Specifically, as shown in
FIG. 4 , thedrawer panel 20 is provided with abuckle groove 208 onside edges 207, and thedrawer body 10 is provided with abuckle protrusion 110 corresponding to thebuckle groove 208. Buckling connection between thedrawer panel 20 and thedrawer body 10 can be implemented through fitting of the buckle groove and the buckle protrusion, and assembly strength between thedrawer panel 20 and thedrawer body 10 can be increased by the buckling connection. Particularly, thebuckle groove 208 is provided at thelower portion 202 of thedrawer panel 20 in the height direction Z, thereby implementing fixing of thedrawer panel 20 relative to thedrawer body 10 in the height direction Z. In addition, it may be considered that thedrawer panel 20 is provided with a buckle protrusion in the side edges 207, and thedrawer body 10 is provided with a buckle groove corresponding to the buckle protrusion. - As shown in
FIG. 4 , thedrawer body 10 is further provided with a guidingportion 109 in theside walls 102, and the guiding portion can come into contact with the side edges 207 of thedrawer panel 20 during assembly and guide motion of thedrawer panel 20, so that the first protrudedportion 203 of thedrawer panel 20 is easily inserted into the first receivingcavity 104 of thedrawer body 10. Herein, the guidingportion 109 is particularly parallel to thefirst tilt portion 1051 of thefirst cavity wall 105, and the first tilt portion tilts toward thefront surface 101 of thedrawer body 10 from top to bottom in the height direction Z. For details, refer toFIG. 6 . -
FIG. 5 is a detailed view of part B inFIG. 2 . - As shown in
FIG. 5 , thedrawer panel 20 is provided with an anti-flip structure at a bottom in the height direction Z, and the anti-flip structure includes abottom plate 209 and ananti-flip protrusion 210. Herein, the anti-flip structure can fit with astructured portion 111 of thedrawer body 10, for example, a protrusion of the structuredportion 111 is clamped between thebottom plate 209 and theanti-flip protrusion 210, thereby preventing thedrawer panel 20 from detaching from thedrawer body 10 and flipping when being pulled, which further implements reliable assembly between thedrawer panel 20 and thedrawer body 10. -
FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are respectively partial views of an assembly process of thedrawer assembly 1 of a refrigeration appliance according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - As shown in
FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , during assembly, the side edges 207 of thedrawer panel 20 are made to first tilt downward along the guidingportion 109 until the first protrudedportion 203 comes into contact with thefirst tilt portion 1051 of thefirst cavity wall 105 of the first receivingcavity 104. The first protrudedportion 203 then continues to tilt and move downward adhering to thefirst tilt portion 203, until the first protrudedportion 203 reaches a bottom of the first receivingcavity 104.
