Problems solved by technology

[0002] Usually, when the door is opened, the door rotates around the hinge axis. If the refrigerator is placed in the corner, it is easy to touch the side wall or cabinet when the door is opened.
Then the embedded refrigerator, or some non-embedded refrigerators are extremely inconvenient to use, therefore, it is necessary to design a hinge assembly that can move to the side away from the obstacle during the rotation of the door body

Abstract

The invention discloses a hinge assembly used for being connected between a door body and a refrigerator body, and therefore when the door body is opened or closed, the door body moves according to the preset track. The preset track comprises a first stage in which the door body moves away from or close to the hinge assembly in the rotation process at the same time, and a second stage in which thedoor body only rotates. In the first stage of the door opening process, the door body rotates around the hinge shaft and drives a transmission piece to move through a transmission shaft, a limiting shaft moves in a guiding groove under the cooperative action of a guiding part and a guiding wall, then the hinge shaft is used for driving the door body to move in the direction away from a hinge support, and the bottom end of the transmission shaft moves upwards and gradually disengages from the transmission piece in the moving process. After the transmission shaft disengages from the transmission piece, the door body is in the second stage of the opening process, the limiting shaft moves to the tail end of the guiding groove, and the door body and the transmission shaft rotate around the hinge shaft till the door body is completely opened.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of home appliances, in particular to a hinge assembly and a refrigerator including the hinge assembly, in particular to a hinge assembly and a refrigerator which are less likely to encounter obstacles when the door is opened. Background technique [0002] Usually, when the door body is opened, the door body rotates around the hinge shaft. If the refrigerator is placed in a corner, it is easy to touch the side wall or the cabinet body when the door body is opened. Then the built-in refrigerator, or some non-built-in refrigerators are extremely inconvenient to use, therefore, it is necessary to design a hinge assembly that can move to the side away from the obstacle during the rotation of the door body. Contents of the invention [0003] In order to solve one of the above problems, the present application proposes a refrigerator. [0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution provided...
