As in the present invention, for the convenience of description, when the refrigerator is in normal use, the direction toward the ground is downward, and the direction away from the ground is upward; the direction parallel to the ground is horizontal, and the direction perpendicular to the ground is vertical. Direction; the side close to the user is the front end, and the side far away from the user is the back end.

As shown in Figures 1 to 8, the present invention provides a refrigerator drawer and a refrigerator having the same. The refrigerator drawer is used to store items and is slidably connected to the refrigerator, so that the user can open or close the refrigerator by pulling. drawer.

As shown in FIG. 1, the refrigerator drawer includes: a drawer body 1, a front cover 2 and a front cover fixing member 3. The front surface of the drawer body 1 is provided with a protruding frame 11. The front cover 2 is an integrally formed aluminum alloy piece and includes a front end surface 21, a lower end portion 22 and an upper end portion 23. The lower end portion 22 is bent to form a handle portion 221 and a handle extension portion 222. The front cover fixing member 3 is arranged between the front cover 2 and the drawer body 1 and connects the front cover 2 and the drawer body 1 respectively. The handle extension 222 covers the bottom of the front cover fixing member 3.

The metal appearance of the front cover 2 can improve the grade of the drawer, and the front cover 2 is integrally formed to fully cover the front end of the drawer body 1 so that there are no splicing gaps in appearance, so that the drawer is simple and beautiful. In addition, the front cover 2 also integrates a handle portion 221, without the need for a separate handle, so that, on the one hand, the appearance of the drawer can be more concise, and on the other hand, the problem of loose assembly of the splicing handle after long-term use is avoided, and the problem is further improved. Improve the user experience.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the handle portion 221 includes a handle 2211 and an escape cavity 2212. The handle 2211 is provided at the front end of the lower end 22 and is formed by the bottom of the front end surface 21 being turned upward by 180° The handle 2211 is bent toward the drawer body 1 to form the upper cavity wall 22121 and the rear cavity wall 22122 of the escape cavity 2212.

Further, the length of the handle 2211 folded upward should be convenient for the user to hold, and the length of the upper cavity wall 22121 should be convenient for the user to extend his hand into the avoiding cavity 2212.

Preferably, a rearwardly protruding arc 22111 is provided at the bottom of the rear end of the handle 2211, so that when the user holds the handle to open the drawer, there is a point of force, thereby facilitating the grip and improving the feel.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, a first slot 22112 is formed between the handle 2211 and the front end surface 21, and the bottom front end of the front cover fixing member 3 is provided with a first slot inserted into the first slot. The first plug-in part 31 of 22112.

The cavity formed by bending between the rear cavity wall 22122 and the handle extension 222 forms a second slot 2221, and the rear end of the bottom of the front cover fixing member 3 is inserted into the second slot 2221 The second plug-in part 32.
