refrigerator

Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigerator which comprises a refrigerator body, a door body and at least one hinge mechanism, wherein at least one storage chamber is defined in the refrigerator body; the door body is arranged at the front side of the refrigerator body in a pivoting manner, so as to allow the storage chamber to be opened and / or closed; and each hinge mechanism comprises a hinge plate arranged at the refrigerator body and a pin shaft arranged at the door body. The hinge mechanisms are configured to allow the pin shafts and the hinge plates to be operably positioned and kept in a stretching connection state or in a retracting separated state, thereby providing at least a part of pivoting shafts for the door body selectively. Thus, after a user determines the opening direction of the door body, simply by adjusting the hinge mechanisms at one time to allow the pin shafts and the hinge plates of the hinge mechanisms to be positioned in the stretching connection state or in the retracting separated state, the sides where the pin shafts are located can become a pivot side or an opening side of the door body all the time. The requirement of a user to open the door body in two directions is met, the operation processes of opening and closing the door body are simplified, and user experience is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to refrigeration and freezing technology, in particular to a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] In order to make the refrigerator suitable for a variety of storage spaces, and also facilitate users with different usage habits (users who are accustomed to opening the door with the left hand and users who are accustomed to opening the door with the right hand) to find a door opening method that suits their own habits, a kind of door opening method has appeared in the prior art. A refrigerator that can be opened in both directions. This kind of refrigerator usually achieves the purpose of two-way door opening by setting a split pivot mechanism, that is, when the user needs to change the opening direction of the door body, it is necessary to disassemble part of the pivot mechanism from one side of the refrigerator and install it on the other side, which is time-consuming and laborious. [0003] In order to solve the above-me...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, in the process of opening and closing the door of this refrigerator, the user needs to press the button of the pivot mechanism all the time, and the required pressing force is relatively large, and the jamming phenomenon is very easy to occur during the pressing process, resulting in the use of the entire refrigerator. very inconvenient

In addition, the pivoting mechanism runs through the entire door body, occupying a large area of ​​foaming space, which to a large extent destroys the heat preservation performance and strength of the door body, and is especially not suitable for refrigerators with larger door sizes.
