  • Patent number: 11512892
    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet having an inner casing, an outer casing, and a thermal insulation space located between the inner casing and the outer casing and filled with a thermal insulation material, to form a pair of thermal insulation walls disposed opposite to each other. The thermal insulation walls have recesses formed in the inner casing and opened forward. A beam bridges the pair of thermal insulation walls, the beam including insert portions disposed on two ends and respectively inserted into the corresponding recesses. A first fixing mechanism is at least partially located in the recess and fixes the insert portion to the thermal insulation wall, which not only facilitates the assembly of the beam and improves production efficiency, but also is beneficial to improving a weight capacity of the beam.

  • Patent number: 11499772
    Abstract: A drawer assembly contains a drawer, a cap, and a sealing member. The drawer has an upward opening. The cap being capable of sliding forward and backward relative to the drawer to open or close the opening. The sealing member is disposed between the cap and the drawer and has a sealing surface between the sealing member and the drawer or the cap, and the sealing surface has a rough feature. More specifically, the sealing surface has the rough feature. Therefore, when the cap closes the opening, a contact area between the sealing member and the drawer or the cap is relatively reduced, binding is relatively weakened, and suction is relatively reduced. The cap can be easily pushed away by merely applying relatively little thrust to open the opening when the opening of the drawer needs to be opened, greatly facilitating use by a user.
