Hinge assembly and refrigerator

Abstract

The invention provides a hinge assembly and a refrigerator. The hinge assembly comprises a fixing substrate, a hinge body and an elastic clamping piece. The fixing substrate is provided with a fixing column, a clamping-connecting column and a positioning column. The hinge body is provided with a first mounting hole, a second mounting hole and a third mounting hole. The hinge body is arranged on the fixing substrate in a sleeving manner through cooperation of the first mounting hole and the fixing column, cooperation of the second mounting hole and the clamping-connecting column and cooperation of the third mounting hole and the positioning column. The elastic clamping piece comprises a fixing part, a positioning part and a clamping-connecting part which are connected in sequence, wherein the elastic clamping piece is installed on the fixing substrate through cooperation of a fixing hole in the fixing part and the fixing column, cooperation of a positioning hole in the positioning part and the positioning column and cooperation of a clamping groove in the clamping-connecting part and the clamping-connecting column. By means of the technical scheme, the hinge body can be assembled and disassembled manually, and the assembly efficiency of the hinge body is improved effectively. Meanwhile, the assembly clearance of the hinge body can be effectively reduced, and the assembly precision of the hinge body is ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of refrigerators, and more specifically, to a hinge assembly and a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] At present, there are generally two ways to fix refrigerator top hinges on the market, one is screw fixing, and the other is buckle fixing, but both of these two fixing ways have great disadvantages. Workers need to use special installation tools to install, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, when fixing with screws, the holes on the hinge need to be processed through holes, which will result in a relatively large gap between the hinge holes and the screws. , therefore, there will be a certain assembly deviation in the hinge assembly, resulting in the misalignment of the door assembly end; the buckle fixing method, such as figure 1 As shown, a fixed base with a sheet metal buckle structure is required, and a pressure plate or screw tool is required to restrict the hinge ...

[0002] At present, there are generally two ways to fix refrigerator top hinges on the market, one is screw fixing, and the other is buckle fixing, but both of these two fixing ways have great disadvantages. Workers need to use special installation tools to install, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, when fixing with screws, the holes on the hinge need to be processed through holes, which will result in a relatively large gap between the hinge holes and the screws. , therefore, there will be a certain assembly deviation in the hinge assembly, resulting in the misalignment of the door assembly end; the buckle fixing method, such as figure 1 As shown, a fixed base with a sheet metal buckle structure is required, and a pressure plate or screw tool is required to restrict the hinge and another degree of freedom of the fixed base. Therefore, although the assembly process is simpler than the screw fixing method, it is still Need to use installation tools, and due to the need for various shapes of sheet metal forming, the assembly accuracy is not easy to guarantee, and it is easy to produce left and right deviation during assembly
