Hinge assembly and appliance provided with same

Abstract

The invention relates to a hinge assembly and an appliance provided with the same. The hinge assembly comprises a hinge seat fixed on a body, wherein a first hinge shaft is arranged on the hinge seat and connected with a second hinge shaft through a hinge arm; a door body is rotationally connected with the second hinge shaft; the hinge arm rotates around the first hinge shaft; a kinematic pair consisting of a third hinge shaft and a driving groove is arranged between the hinge seat and the door body; a corner angle part is formed between a transverse edge of a plane, where a door body front panel of the hinge assembly is located, of the door body and a side edge perpendicular to the transverse edge; and when the door body is opened, the corner angle part is always located on one side, close to an accommodating chamber of the body, of a first plane, and the first plane is a plane where the outer wall of the body is located. The hinge assembly is simple in structure, and the door body does not interfere with an obstacle on one side in an opening process, so that the door body is more convenient to open and close, the function that appliances such as household appliances, furniture and the like can be freely embedded can be realized, and the hinge assembly is convenient for a user to use.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hinge assembly and an appliance equipped with the hinge assembly. Background technique [0002] With the gradual improvement of living standards, users have higher and higher requirements for household appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, and freezers. Like the most commonly used refrigerators in daily life, the traditional refrigerator doors are all arranged in a single-axis structure that rotates around a fixed rotating shaft. This kind of hinge not only has a single structure, but also during the opening process of the door body, the water chestnut part formed between the horizontal side of the plane where the door body front panel of the door body is close to the hinge and the side perpendicular to the horizontal side will move out to the outside. The edge exceeds the vertical plane where the side wall of the box is located. This situation is not suitable for installation on a built-in refrige...

Problems solved by technology

This kind of hinge not only has a single structure, but also during the opening process of the door body, the water chestnut part formed between the horizontal side of the door body front panel where the door body is close to the hinge and the side perpendicular to the horizontal side will move out to the outside. The edge exceeds the vertical plane where the side wall of the box is located. This situation is not suitable for installation on a built-in refrigerator or a refrigerator with a small gap between the box and the wall. This hinge design makes the door of the refrigerator limited opening angle
