Background technique

With the improvement of people's living standards, users' requirements for kitchens are getting higher and higher. As a common appliance in the kitchen, refrigerators often need to be integrated with cabinets to improve the space utilization of the kitchen and optimize the aesthetics of the refrigerator and cabinets. In order to achieve this technical purpose, built-in refrigerators came into being. By arranging a door body with the same or similar material and/or color as the cabinet, the built-in refrigerator visually integrates with the cabinet.

However, due to various reasons, it is difficult to visually integrate the skirting part at the bottom of the existing built-in refrigerator with the cabinet. One of the reasons is that the skirting part at the bottom of existing built-in refrigerators is often integrally formed with the refrigerator box, has a single color, and cannot be replaced.

Moreover, with the development of human society, users have higher and higher requirements for life, and have special requirements for various daily necessities in terms of practicality, multifunctionality, comfort and aesthetics. Since refrigerators need to be placed indoors for use, and from the perspective of convenience of use, refrigerators are more often placed in the kitchen. The function of the kitchen has also changed from the original cooking place to taking into account family social and leisure functions. Therefore, the layout and decoration of the kitchen are also important needs of users. Therefore, as the largest and most important appliance in the kitchen, the refrigerator needs to be integrated with the cabinets or other kitchen utensils. fusion between.

At present, in the existing technology, it has been difficult to integrate the bottom skirting part of the refrigerator with the cabinet skirting due to various reasons, which has a negative impact on the home integration effect, which in turn leads to poor user experience when using the existing refrigerator on a daily basis. At the same time, the door body of the refrigerator is installed on the box body of the refrigerator through a hinge structure. The hinge structure is generally provided at the top and bottom of the door body. Especially the hinge structure located at the bottom of the door body will not only affect the appearance of the front of the refrigerator, but also affect the appearance of the refrigerator. It will also destroy the consistency of the skirting part of the refrigerator and the skirting part of the cabinet, resulting in poor integration of the skirting part of the refrigerator and the skirting part of the cabinet.

In addition, common refrigeration equipment includes refrigerators and freezers. In order to make the refrigeration equipment look more beautiful and to integrate the refrigeration equipment with the surrounding environment, some refrigeration equipment is also equipped with a kicking device on the front side of the bottom.

During the use of refrigeration equipment, condensation water often occurs inside, causing part of the condensation water to flow out when the refrigeration equipment opens the door. However, the current refrigeration equipment equipped with a kick device is often thicker, causing the front surface of the kick device to protrude from the front surface of the equipment body of the refrigeration equipment, causing the condensation water flowing out of the refrigeration equipment to Drip onto the top surface of the kicking unit. If things go on like this, the condensation water accumulated on the top surface of the kicking device will not only absorb dust in the air and affect the appearance of the kicking device, but also corrode the kicking device and reduce the service life of the kicking device.
