Door body hinge assembly for refrigerator and refrigerator comprising same

Abstract

The invention provides a door body hinge assembly for a refrigerator. The door body hinge assembly comprises a hollow shell, a first sliding part and a second sliding part, wherein the hollow shell is fixed to a refrigerator door body; the opposite contact faces of the first sliding part and the second sliding part are helical faces matched mutually; an elastic telescopic part is arranged on the helical face of the first sliding part, and a guiding groove and a limiting part extending from the guiding groove to the first sliding part are arranged on the helical face of the second sliding part; and the guiding groove defines the moving path of the elastic telescopic part, and in the opening process of the refrigerator door body, the first sliding part drives the elastic telescopic part to move into the limiting part along the moving path, so that hovering of the refrigerator door body is achieved. Compared with the prior art, the limiting part is arranged on the door body hinge assembly for the refrigerator, the refrigerator door body is made to have a hovering position, and a user can take and place objects conveniently; as for the forcible door opening phenomenon, even though the door opening force degree overcomes the hovering strength of the hinge assembly, the limiting part can also decrease the door body opening speed, and the buffer effect on forcible door opening is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a door hinge assembly for a refrigerator and a refrigerator having the same. Background technique [0002] At present, refrigerators all realize the rotation of the door body through hinges to realize the purpose of opening and closing the door. During use, when the refrigerator door is opened to a certain angle, it will be in a state of free movement. When users take and place items, they need to fix the door with one hand and use the other hand to take and place items, which is very inconvenient. In addition, there may also be situations where the refrigerator door collides with foreign objects when the door is opened due to the excessively large opening angle of the refrigerator door. Based on this, how to enable the refrigerator door to hover at a set opening angle has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Contents of the invention [0003] One ...
