  • Patent number: 11940207
    Abstract: A drawer assembly and a refrigerator, the drawer assembly comprising a drawer body, a slideway assembly for pushing and pulling the drawer body, and a damping reset unit matching the drawer body and being arranged on the sliding channel assembly, the damping reset unit comprising an elastic member for driving the drawer body to reset from an open state to a closed state and a damping member for reducing the reset speed of the elastic member. A refrigerator is provided with the drawer assembly. The arrangement of the damping reset unit enables the process of closing the drawer body to not require the application of external force during the entire process, and the arrangement of the damping member makes the rebound process of the drawer body much gentle, avoiding the vibration, noise, and damage that may be produced during rapid rebound.
