In this specification, it is to be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly stated or limited, the term "connected" is to be interpreted broadly, e.g. as meaning a connection which may be direct or indirect via an intermediate, fixed or detachable connection or an integral connection. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.

In this specification, when the refrigerator is used, the direction of the user is front, and the opposite direction is rear.

Meanwhile, only a door body and a drawer assembly are shown in the drawings in the specification, and other structures are the same as those of the existing refrigerator, so that the door body and the drawer assembly are not shown.

Referring to fig. 1 to 6, the present invention provides a refrigerator, which includes a cabinet having a storage chamber, a door (not shown) slidably connected to the cabinet in a front-rear direction to open and close the storage chamber, and a drawer assembly 1 located in the storage chamber, wherein when the door closes the storage chamber, the door shields the drawer assembly 1 to prevent cold leakage.

The drawer assembly 1 comprises an upper drawer 11 slidably connected in the box body, a lower drawer 12 positioned on the lower side of the upper drawer 11, and a middle drawer 13 positioned between the upper drawer 11 and the lower drawer 12. It can be understood that the upper drawer 11, the middle drawer 13 and the lower drawer 12 are slidably connected to the box body through corresponding slide rail assemblies, so that the upper drawer 11, the middle drawer 13 and the lower drawer 12 can be stably moved in the front-rear direction to open/close the corresponding drawers.

The lower drawer 12 is connected with the door body, so that in the process of opening or closing the door body, the lower drawer 12 and the door body move synchronously, and the lower drawer 12 is opened and closed.

In the present embodiment, the lower drawer 12 includes first slide rails 121 provided on upper surfaces of opposite side walls of the lower drawer 12, and first recessed portions 122 provided at front ends of the first slide rails 121. The lower surface of the middle drawer 13 is provided with a second convex portion 131 protruding downwards, when the door body is in a closed state, the second convex portion 131 is accommodated in the first concave portion 122, so that when the door body is pulled forwards, the first concave portion 122 is matched with the second convex portion 131 to pull the middle drawer 13 forwards, the lower drawer 12 and the middle drawer 13 move forwards synchronously along with the door body, the lower drawer 12 and the middle drawer 13 are opened simultaneously, and linkage between the lower drawer 12 and the middle drawer 13 is realized.

It is understood that the first recess 122 may be formed by being recessed downward from the upper surface of the opposite side wall of the lower drawer 12, or by providing protrusions spaced apart in the front-rear direction at the upper surface of the opposite side wall of the lower drawer 12, and the protrusions and the side wall together form the first recess 122.

In one embodiment, the second protrusion 131 is a roller, so that the second protrusion 131 is separated from the first recess 122, and after the second protrusion 131 is separated from the first recess 122, the roller can move back and forth along the first slide 121, so as to facilitate the user to use, and reduce the interference between the second protrusion 131 and the first recess 122 and/or the first slide 121. Of course, this is not a limitation.

Further, the middle drawer 13 has a second slide rail 132 provided at an upper surface of the opposite side walls of the middle drawer 13, and a second recess 133 provided at a front end of the second slide rail 132.

It is understood that the second recess 133 may be formed by downwardly recessing the upper surfaces of the opposite side walls of the middle drawer 13, or by providing protrusions spaced in the front-rear direction at the upper surfaces of the opposite side walls of the middle drawer 13, and the protrusions and the side walls together form the second recess 133.

The refrigerator further comprises a linkage part 2 which is connected to the upper drawer 11 and protrudes downwards, wherein the linkage part 2 is used for selectively linking the upper drawer 11 and the middle drawer 13 or linking the upper drawer 11 and the lower drawer 12.

When the number of piles of drawer assembly 1 is unchangeable, namely, drawer assembly 1 includes go up drawer 11, well drawer 13 and during drawer 12 down, linkage 2 linkage go up drawer 11 with well drawer 13, pulling forward during the door body, drawer 12 linkage down well drawer 13 is opened, well drawer 13 linkage go up drawer 11 and open, thereby, through the pulling forward the door body, go up drawer 11, well drawer 13 and drawer 12 can be opened in step down, and the user of being convenient for uses.

When the number of layers of the drawer assembly 1 is changed, for example, when a user takes out the middle drawer 13, the linkage part 2 is linked with the upper drawer 11 and the lower drawer 12, when the door body is pulled forwards, the lower drawer 12 drives the upper drawer 11 to be opened, so that the upper drawer 11 and the lower drawer 12 can be synchronously opened by pulling the door body forwards, and the use by the user is facilitated. Of course, it can be understood that if the user takes out the upper drawer 11, the linkage between the lower drawer 12 and the middle drawer 13 is not changed, but still is achieved by the cooperation between the second convex portion 131 and the first concave portion 122.

It can be understood that when the linkage member 2 links the upper drawer 11 and the middle drawer 13, the linkage member 2 is engaged with the second recess 133, and when the middle drawer 13 is opened, the upper drawer 11 and the middle drawer 13 are opened synchronously, so that the linkage between the upper drawer 11 and the middle drawer 13 is realized.

When the linkage member 2 links the upper drawer 11 and the lower drawer 12, the linkage member 2 is matched with the first concave portion 122, and when the lower drawer 12 is opened, the upper drawer 11 and the lower drawer 13 are opened synchronously, so that the linkage between the upper drawer 11 and the lower drawer 12 is realized.
